1. Movie Start: 1933

A group of killers are looking for noodles everywhere. The woman who killed him in his residence learned that noodles were in the cinema in Chinatown among the restaurant killers of her friend "Fei Mo". Above the theater is a smokehouse. Noodles smoking opium saw three of his accomplices killed on the news: Marne, Squint and Patrick. In the illusion, he heard the phone ring and a carnival party appeared in his mind. He once called the police station at a reception and killed three people.

After he came out of the smoking house, he saw three bodies in the street. He could clearly recognize squints and Patrick from the dead man's face. Mance's face was badly burned and unrecognizable. He went to Murphy's restaurant and let go of Murphy who was tied to the ground. He killed the killer who stayed there and took a key from the vertical clock, saying that he had money to burn now.

Noodles came to New York Central Railway Station, opened a small storage kitchen and took out a heavy luggage bag. Opening the bag, it was full of old newspapers, which surprised him. I don't know where to go under confusion. He bought a ticket at random and left new york.

2. 1968. New York Central Railway Station reproduces old noodles. I rented a car and went to a Jewish cemetery, where construction workers were moving tombstones. Noodles came to my friend's restaurant again. He told Murphy that he had received a letter from the synagogue informing him that the cemetery of the synagogue had been moved so that he could deal with the graves of relatives and friends. But before that, the graves of three friends have all moved to a beautiful new address. The church said that the notice he received was sent eight months ago, and he only received it last week, indicating that it was not a letter from the church. He told Murphy that someone had discovered his whereabouts and invited him back to new york for another purpose. He has a bad feeling.

In Murphy's restaurant, I saw a group of photos of my childhood friends and photos of Murphy's sister Debbie. He walked into the familiar toilet, and the brick hole in the wall took him back to the distant past.

3. 192 1 year. In the music, a beautiful little girl danced ballet in the utility room behind the toilet. Teenage noodles often watch Deborah dance in the toilet. She found out once and knocked him down. Girls also like him. But I am very dissatisfied with his filth and boredom.

Noodles at that time were a street bastard. Picking out the pockets of drunkards with three other companions, and being employed by an asshole named myna, a blackmailer. By chance, I met a little older than him, named Manx. From then on, they made money by stealing together. Took advantage of a disgraceful opportunity to subdue the patrolman on the street and run amok in the local area. Manx took them to hide a suitcase at the railway station, and everyone agreed that 1/2 of the proceeds of each crime would be stored in the suitcase. Because I didn't want to obey Bugs, I was beaten by Bugs and his gang. So Noodles vowed to kill Bugs for revenge.

No sooner had they saved money from the railway station than they were shot and killed by bullies. The youngest Dominic died on the spot. Noodles madly killed bugs and stabbed a policeman, so they went to prison.

4. 1968. Old Noodles came to the new cemetery and saw a brand-new memorial hall with three white marble sarcophagus engraved with the names of three friends who died 35 years ago: squint, Patrick and Mans. On the wall behind the door, I saw a bronze medal, which indicated that this memorial hall was funded by noodles, a friend of the deceased. He was surprised. I also saw a key there, which is the key to open the small storage box. Noodles took the key and went to the train station again. They opened the suitcase, which was full of cash. It also says it's prepaid. The payer is hiring him to complete a big event, but there are no details.

Noodles took the cash and went home. The familiar street view on the road took him back to the past: at that time, he had just been released from prison, and Manx picked him up in a black coffin car.

In the late 1920s. Mann pulled him to the back of Pangmo Restaurant, away from Jielou. This seemingly flat building is a city that never sleeps. In those days when selling alcohol was forbidden, they were as drunk as a fiddler. Isle of Man, they have done a great thing: opening casinos, underground nightclubs, brothels and making a fortune. Because this is the back building of Murphy Hotel, Noodles met Debbie who grew up here. Debbie is already an accomplished actress.

In the back room, noodles were introduced to an underworld boss, who told them that there was a deal in Detroit and asked them to help and get a lot of diamonds. They robbed a jewelry store where Noodles raped a woman. Kill two birds with one stone when you come back and deliver the goods, killing a group of people who come to pick up the goods. Marne advocated joining hands with the boss behind this incident, but Noodles disagreed, which made Marne feel embarrassed and unhappy.

6. 1968. Noodles live in Murphy's shop. The "Bailey scandal" of the New York State Department of Commerce is being broadcast on TV, saying that two people were mysteriously killed in this case investigation. There is also a face they know on TV. This man is the leader of the National Transport Union. This reminds noodles of the experience of knowing this person in those days.

In the early 1930s. When the trade union organized a strike, the trade union leader Jimmy was kidnapped by capitalist lackeys and threatened to sign a contract to return to work. Noodles and Isle of Man kidnapped capitalists and forced each other to release union leaders. New york police chief broke the strike and let the police stand in the factory. Just as the sheriff was proud, he found that someone had changed his precious son in the hospital. Noodles and the Isle of Man threatened the sheriff by exchanging babies, forcing him to withdraw the police from the factory, and the strike continued. A politician therefore suggested that they join hands with government officials and powerful trade unions to do a big thing after the ban ended. Noodles don't like politicians and advocate not to get involved in politics. Since then, he has forged an indissoluble bond with the Isle of Man.

7. 1933. In the back room of the underground nightclub, the gang four brothers once again saw Kailu, a woman from Detroit jewelry store. The woman was attached to the man who raped him at that time, but she didn't know her face and just wanted to get close to the Isle of Man. She suggested having a threesome with men and noodles. Noodles refused because he was "not that kind of person".

It turned out that he specially asked Debbie out to meet him. Because he made a fortune, he booked a seaside restaurant that was closed in the off-season and invited Deborah to dinner. In a private conversation, he learned that Deborah is still single and still misses her childhood friends. Noodles show love to Debbie. Debbie also said that he was the only man she cared about in her life. She promised to meet him alone because she was going to Hollywood the next day, just to say goodbye. Debbie kisses noodles on the bus leaving the hotel. Noodles raped Debbie. Break up.

193365438+February, the ban will be lifted. The underworld boss is still staring at these four brothers, hoping that they will join hands to mediate politics and make bigger deals. The noodles are not dry. Mance said that maybe he should stop eating noodles from now on. They went to Florida for their holiday together. At this time, they have accumulated1000000, and Noodles feel it's time to wash their hands. Manx said he wouldn't wash his hands until 20 million or 50 million. He told Noodles that he had an idea to rob the Federal Reserve Bank.

Carol, a woman from the Isle of Man, suggested that Noodles tell the police about the plan to smash the bank in the Isle of Man. This will put him in prison and prevent him from dying while committing a crime. Noodles think this is a good idea. In order to protect a friend's life, he called the police on the night of the carnival when prohibition was lifted. It was soon discovered that Manes and others were still robbing, and three people were killed, thus avoiding the disaster.

8. 1968. Noodles recognized Jimmy, a trade union leader related to the Bailey scandal, and thought their situation might be related to this matter. He started investigating Bailey. First, I visited the luxurious Bailey Foundation. The owner of the foundation is Carol, a woman from the Isle of Man. She said that the foundation was initiated by wealthy businessman and politician Bailey fifteen years ago, but Bailey himself did not attend. It was a beautiful actress who unveiled Bailey at the opening ceremony of the foundation. Noodles recognized that it was his lover Deborah.

Noodle received the invitation of Secretary-General Bailey and went to Beifu, Long Island for a banquet the next day. Noodles visited Deborah backstage at the Metropolitan Theatre, hoping to know Bailey's real identity and the reason why he was invited to the party. During the conversation, I learned that Bailey is a wealthy businessman who moved from Los Angeles. Although Deborah is still unmarried, she has lived with Bailey for many years. Deborah didn't know why Bailey invited noodles to dinner, but advised him not to go, or he would be disappointed. She suggested that he leave to preserve his memory of the past.

When leaving the theater, Noodle accidentally saw Debela's son, who had been waiting politely outside the door, and looked exactly like the young Isle of Man. Then it dawned on me that Bailey was none other than his old friend Mans 35 years ago.

9. Knowing that it was the invitation of the Isle of Man, Noodles went to the meeting on time. While Deborah was anxiously waiting for noodles to appear, Marne had invited noodles to the study to talk alone. Manx said that he will not live for a few days, because many politicians are involved in the current scandal, and they will definitely get rid of him. Manx thinks Noodle has the right to kill him, because he owes Noodle a lifetime debt: he keeps millions of dollars for himself and steals his girlfriend Deborah.

It turned out that Manx was the mysterious person who invited noodles from other places to new york, in order to pay off his debts. He told Noodles that the bank being smashed was a scam from the beginning. Even let noodles snitch was carefully planned by him. Let Noodles kill him personally, and you can end this life's feud.

But he refused to make noodles, because he had washed his hands and didn't want to get involved in political affairs. He left from Beifu. Bailey silently disappeared behind the garbage shredder.

End: 1933. Noodles are a heavy smoker, dreaming that they will have 1 million, laughing and falling asleep to edit this paragraph.
