:07:00
And it was up to this guy right here...
:07:02
standing in front of $2 million...
:07:04
to skim the cash off the top
without anybody getting wise...
:07:07
the IRS or anybody.
:07:09
Notice how in the count room
nobody ever seems to see anything.
:07:13
Somehow, somebody's always looking
the other way.
:07:15
Look at these guys. They look busy, right?
:07:17
They're counting money.
Who wants to bother them?
:07:20
I mean, God forbid they should make
a mistake and forget to steal.
:07:23
Meanwhile, you're in and you're out.
:07:27
Past the jag-off guard
who gets an extra $100 a week...
:07:29
just to watch the door.
:07:31
It's routine. Business as usual...
:07:34
in, out, hello, goodbye.
:07:36
That's all there is to it.
:07:38
Just another fat fuck walking out
of a casino with a suitcase.
:07:42
Now, that suitcase was going
straight to one place:
:07:45
right to Kansas City, which was as close...
:07:48
to Las Vegas as the Midwest bosses
could go...
:07:50
without getting themselves arrested.
:07:53
That suitcase was all
the bosses ever wanted.
:07:56
And they wanted it every month.
:08:04
Now this old Mormon fuck here...
:08:06
he had to fly in with suitcases
once a month, nice and easy.
:08:09
-Something smells good.
-They made us something to eat.
:08:12
NlCKY: The bosses
would come from all over:
:08:14
Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee...
:08:16
all over the Midwest...
:08:18
and they would meet in this produce market
in Kansas City.
:08:21
Nobody even knew it.
:08:23
One of the guys made
his mother do the cooking.
:08:25
Do you ever see that guy Jerry Steriano?
:08:27
NlCKY: These old greaseballs
might not look it...
:08:30
but believe me...
:08:31
these are the guys
who secretly controlled Las Vegas.
:08:34
WOMAN: Mama, that man's here again.
:08:36
NlCKY: Because they controlled
the Teamsters Union.
:08:38
And that's where you had to go
to borrow money to buy a casino.
:08:41
WOMAN 2: Would you put in shrimp?
WOMAN: I would.
:08:44
NlCKY: Nobody got a Teamsters'
loan unless the guys in this room...
:08:47
knew they were gonna get
their little suitcases.
:08:51
Guys like this antique over here,
out of Detroit.
:08:55
Or especially guys like Remo Gaggi,
the outfit's top boss.
:08:59
You got a round figure on it?
