:34:02
I have the Sollozzo notes here.
:34:05
Now...
:34:08
Sollozzo is known as The Turk. He's
supposed to be very good with a knife,

:34:14
but only in matters of business
with reasonable complaint.

:34:18
His business is narcotics.
:34:22
He has fields in Turkey,
where they grow poppy.

:34:25
In Sicily he has plants to process them
into heroin.

:34:29
He needs cash, he needs protection
from the police.

:34:33
He'll give a piece of the action.
I don't know how much.

:34:37
The Tattaglia family is behind him here.
They have to be in it for something.

:34:43
- What about his prison record?
- One term in ltaly, one here.

:34:48
He's known as a top narcotics man.
:34:51
- Santino, what do you think?
- A lot of money in that white powder.

:34:58
Tom?
:34:59
Yes. There's more money in narcotics
than anything else.

:35:04
If we don't get into it, somebody else
will, maybe the five families.

:35:08
With that money they can buy
more police and political power.

:35:13
Then they come after us.
:35:15
Now we have unions and gambling, and
that's great, but narcotics is the future.

:35:21
If we don't get a piece of that action,
we risk everything in ten years' time.

:35:31
So? What's your answer
going to be, Pop?

:35:39
Don Corleone.
:35:43
I need a man who has powerful friends.
:35:46
I need a million dollars in cash.
:35:49
I need those politicians that you carry
in your pocket, like nickels and dimes.

:35:57
- What is the interest for my family?
- 30 per cent.
