You wanna be a boss, you wanna win this war? The money's not enough. You need respect. You need soldiers who wanna fight for you. You go it alone out there, you're not gonna last a day. I can get you that respect. I couldn't help your mother. Let me help you, huh? C'mon...

As you all know, I was stuffed in Arkham State Hospital for a decade. Convicted of murdering seven women. Summer Gleeson. Taylor Montgomery. Yolanda Jones. Nancy Hoffman. Suzanna Weekley. DeVry Blake. And Trisha Becker. Their names are worth saying. Victims are so quickly forgotten, aren't they? Our stories are rarely told.
Okay, alright. I think that's--
Yes? Hm? I've had a lot of time to reflect. And I have to say... I was genuinely surprised at how many of you wrote letters telling the judge that I was mentally ill. Like my mother. Not that the judge needed much convincing; my father saw to that. Still, I trusted you. I loved you. And yet not one of you tried to help me. Except for my brother. The man you all flew in to mourn. And you know, the real thorn in my side is that, unlike everyone here, I was innocent. I mean... Jesus Christ, Milos has a higher body-count than I do.
Sofia!
I know you're all anxious for me to leave. No one has been shy about that. I'd really hoped that it would be different, but I understand. I don't fit into this family any more. So tomorrow, I'm starting a new life. For the first time, I have hope. To new beginnings. Cent'Anni.
First, I'd like to address the elephant in the room: I gassed the family. I killed them all. And I am... so glad that they're dead. My family disposed of my mother like she was nothing, then they did the same to me. And honestly, none of you are any different. None of you are made men, except for Johnny here. The rest of you... You're pawns. You're overlooked. Expendable. My mother was Isabella Gigante. Few spoke of her after she died because she was a force greater than the Falcones could handle. As of today, my father's legacy is dead and we will never speak his name again. From this point on, I am a Gigante, and this is a new family now!
What are you doing?
A family that will not treat you like cannon fodder in a fruitless war against the Maronis, a war which I intend to end!
Alright, okay, Sofia? Let's not be rash here, alright? These gentlemen know we got a score we need to settle.
[Sofia shoots Viti in the head and presents a duffel bag full of cash to the table.]
This? This was my father's. But he made it off of your labor. You did the dirty work, and they kept it all for themselves. If you join me, you will have a new family. And I will pay you what you're worth, more money than you've ever seen before.
