But not before Caesar arranges for five Bullets to be planted in the head of the New York police chief.

When Caesar's family become embroiled with the Julius family, Caesar has to get involved and by the end of the twentieth century all except one from the Renegadesi and Julius families are on their way to the moon.

NEW YORK

1: Goal Schilachi!!!!!

The Renegadesi family are watching the quarter final of the Italia '90 football tournament between Italy and the Republic of Ireland in a Manhattan apartment in the city of New York. The game is being hosted in Rome.

Caesar: the head and father of the family Goal!!!!

Schilachi has just scored the first goal in the 38th minute. The Renegadesi family Michelangelo, Caesar's eldest son, Titan, the second son and Maria Caesar's daughter give jubilant support, except for Caesar's youngest son Angelo, who is wheelchair bound and impassive. Maria kisses her younger brother Angelo on the forehead. He shrugs her off.

2: Angelo gets a clip

The family are nervous as they await the final whistle. Italy remain a goal up. Angelo is disinterested and is tossing a baseball in between his hand and his baseball mitt.

Michelangelo: How many times have I got to tell you Angelo. You toss that mitt again, I'll smack you in the mouth with it.

Maria: Leave him be.

Angelo defiantly throws the ball at Michelangelo and says 'Catch' and hits Michelangelo on the head. Michelangelo gets up, sees the funny side and lightly clips Angelo on the ear.

Caesar: Will you leave it. Watch the game and quit fucking around. Put the fucking ball down Angelo.

Angelo: I'm bored.

Caesar: It's the world cup and it's in Rome.

Angelo: So

Caesar: They're your people.

Angelo: They're not my people

3: Rome on fire

The satellite TV is showing the jubilant streets of Rome as they celebrate the Italians win over Ireland and they're passage to the semi final of the tournament

Caesar: Michelangelo. Go and get another case of the vino from the cellar

Michelangelo: The same again

Caesar: We're celebrating. Crack open the 74 Chianti.

4: The aftermath

Caesar and his eldest son Michelangelo are having a glass of Chianti in the twilight hours after the rest of the family has gone to bed.

Michelangelo: I've fallen in love

Caesar: Again

Michelangelo: There's a problem

Caesar: Again

Michelangelo: She's married

Caesar: I'll give it to Jimmy Shark to deal with. Your cousin Jimmy has been wanting to join the family for years. He's coming over tomorrow morning I want you to introduce him to the guys.

5a Where we going?

Michelangelo and Jimmy are getting into Michelangelo's car

Jimmy: Where we going?

Michelangelo: To meet the guys

The Blondie song 'Dreaming' is played as the cousins drive from Manhattan to Little Italy towards the Renegadesi hangout in Little Italy.

Michelangelo: Your first day cous. I remember my first day. I had a fucking ball

Jimmy: I can't fucking wait. I've dreamed about this ever since I was a kid. My parents didn't want me to come over the bridge. They wanted me to take the job at the market but I don't give a fuck. Who wants to cart fish around for a living. Right?

Michelangelo: Right

5b Meeting the boys

Michelangelo is introducing Jimmy to the Renegadesi wise guys.

Fat ducks: What's your name kid?

Jimmy: Jimmy

Ducks: Your nick name. If you're gonnar join the family. You've got to have a street name.

Michelangelo: They call him the wonder kid. He's been state video game champion three years straight.

Ducks: My boy loves those games. What's that game. Wonder boy. He plays it for fucking hours at a time. That's your street name kid. Wonder boy.

Michelangelo: Guys. Meet Wonderboy

Jimmy Shark: Where the fuck's Fat Tagliatelli anyway. We've got a meet in a half hour.

Big Ragu: He promised me not to give nothing away.

Michelangelo: Well give it away then

Big Ragu: He's gone under.

Jimmy Shark: Trouble with his heart again

Big Ragu: He's gone for liposuction

Michelangelo: laughing Are you fucking kidding me?

Big Ragu: I'm serious. He went in last night

Jimmy Shark: When are you going under Ragu?

Big Ragu: Never. You know what Wonder boy. This fat fucking belly saved my bones. One of the Russian crews tried to whack me out seven years ago and I took sixteen slugs to my gut. The surgeon told me when I came through my belly saved my fucking life. That's why I'll never diet and aint ever going under the knife

Jimmy Shark: I've heard the story a hundred times. Every time you order a plate of pasta or a platter of clams we hear it. I swear if I hear it again I'm going to shoot you in the head playfully puts gun against Ragu's head and whack you out for sure the crew laugh

6 The sharks ways

Shark: You've had your espresso and you've got your street name. Now you can earn your stripes. Come with me and I'll show you my game.

7 When the shark bites.

The shark and Wonderboy knock on the door of a man in debt and the Shark tells him he has come for his money and the man tells him he'll have the money next week. The shark barges into the man's apartment and in unison with the words 'you've been telling me that for three weeks' bites part of the man's ear off.

8 Biting talks

The shark and Wonderboy are leaving the debtor's apartment. The Shark is casually wiping the blood away from his mouth with a napkin and the shark is counting a wad of money paid to him by the delirious bite victim

Shark: I've got a few more assholes to see then we'll take lunch.

Wonderboy: I think I'll head back to Michelangelo's

Shark: I might need you if it gets hairy

Wonderboy: I doubt that

Shark: You'll have to find your own way

Wonderboy: That's okay

9 Back at Little Caesar's coffee shop

Duck's: Are you okay kid. You look a little pale. Now you know why they call Mac the shark. reassuringly puts arm around Wonder boy's shoulder You'll get used to it. Heck in a few years you'll become numb and start to enjoy it. It's one of the perks for the life we choose

Wonderboy: I doubt that. looks at watch Is it only twelve.

Michelangelo: Go in and grab something to eat.

Wonderboy: I'm not hungry

Michelangelo: Well have an espresso then. That will wake you up. Gold finger's taking you out next.

10 The gold mine

Caesar's main bookmaking earner is showing Wonderboy around his betting shop. There are a few wise guys lounging around the front area of the shop chatting and drinking Espresso. Gold finger has a huge gold ring on every finger

Gold finger: You know if you wheren't the nephew of the old man you'd
