the second scene is because tony feels bad about hurting immigrants, because italians were and are immigrants. tony wants to be honorable, and he feels bad about people 'not' in the game being affected by it. hearing the about the scam here, he looks despondent not suspicious. his desire to be a better person, but inability to do so is one of the largest contributors to his depression.
I think the staircase to Tony’s basement was the unsung hero of the series, the sheer weight it sustained in the beginning of this clip is a testament to that.
In reality it was just a set piece, the stairs go nowhere because it's already on the ground level. Imagine the actors doing re-takes and having to keep walking up and back down.
soo... all of those illegal activities we've been doing for the past decades or so wanna talk about it right now? no reason at all just wanna reminisce about the good ol days with my fellow mob gangster friends
"So, Tony Soprano, 6 foot 1, 265 pounds, thinning brown hair, of Italian-American descent, what are you going to do with that COLOMBIAN MONEY that you, Tony Soprano of North Caldwell New Jersey, illegally have? I was just curious, Tony Soprano born October 4th, 1959, because I'm a curious guy, you know? In fact if there are any other illegal things you have done, I'd love to hear about it. " Smooth, Jimmy.
Jimmy is the most non self aware person in this show like how are you gonna come back from your little bid and not expect Tony to catch on to his detective questions lmao
The things pussy said about his back before he spent a season out in puelto lico was just as stupid. The feds might understand that they put these rats in compromising positions, scaring them into butting in and asking uncharacteristic questions, recording their every move, but it can almost work in the long term if people dont realize that they're damaged goods. Raymond lasted for so long because he had an established position and kept his demeanor and information clean-ish enough to prevent drawing the wrong ire.
Christopher had the best reaction. So much emotion played out while she kept on talking. He just sat there hearing her talk, hearing how truly 'fuqhed' he really was, and you could just see his world collapse on his face.
Plus he was probably on some kinda drug too. He probably wasn't in his right mind to begin with. And that just added to his actions/reactions. Way to go Michael!❤🎉❤🎉
Agree. He looks nauseous, like he’s about to vomit. Probably because he knows he has to kill his fiancé who literally did nothing wrong outside of loving a mobster.
His ears were roaring, his heart pounding, every terrifying thing imaginable was ping ponging in his brain, his eyes darting. He probably didn't hear but 12% of what she was saying after the bomb dropped. Well, because of the rage and powerlessness he felt too, that exploded in him. Good God. That was some badass acting.
- You're a lucky man, Borko! - What do you mean? - You're out on bail on that UA-cam thing? - Yeah, so? - Only you would get multiple strikes for copyright ... and still be out uploading clips in time for dinner. You're a lucky guy!
Just wondering what our other fellow mafia gangster friends have been up to as well? Any other illegal activities Mr Anthony Soprano, boss of the north jersey Demeo crime family?
It's insane how much Adriana loved Chrissy. She didn't even really fight back, she was ready to just let him kill her on that couch while staring into his eyes.
That's FBI in real life. They're not the badasses as they're seen in TV shows and movies. They're fucking pathetic and useless. A thousand school shootings every decade in this country and they can't prevent them, very useless, even awesome school janitors prevented school shootings more than these useless pieces of shits. We should defund the FBI, good for nothings
For what it’s worth: that water heater in Tony’s basement was way too small for that house, and was not the same one that blew a year later. I know, I know “Mario Bros. ova here”…
You can have multiple water heaters for different zones, and they don't have to be next to each other. Why would you talk about this without knowing anything about it😂
One of my absolute favorite moments in the Sopranos is when he got shot in the leg and was cursing and screaming and hollering,i thought i was gonna end up in ICU i was laughing so hard, i can commiserate with the man, i was shot myself when i was young and it hurts like a bitch but he was just hilarious.
The acting from jim during the basement scene when he realizes it’s jimmy and then the scene following with Silvio is probably my favorite acting of the whole series. The desperation and anger is so felt.
Adriana's death is one of the most tragic and heart-wrenching in the series. Seeing her begging ang crying at the end. Imagine you've known someone in your real life doing that, pleading for life or mercy, and you just call them degrading names and shoot them in the back of the head. Imagine how much of your soul you would've had to lose to do that so cold and non-chalantly. I understand it's not a black and white situation with perfect angels on one side and demons on the other. But if ever there was an arc or scene that made me hate Silvio, Christopher and Tony, it was Adriana's death.
Adriana had no issue accepting everything that came from Chris-shoes, dresses, all the $, jewelry. She didn’t care what he did, as long as he brought home shiny new shit. She only cared when she got caught and it meant she was fucked. Fuck Adriana
it’s hard to feel bad for girls that knowingly get involved with scumbags and act like a victim when the lifestyle they like to benefit off isn’t convenient anymore
They were putting the screws to me like I was a El Señor De Los Cielos fan, telling me that the clips were copyrighted. They even said that theres a new reporting technique, that lifts them right off the website
Tony figures out a guy is a snitch, he smiles and invites him to stay for dinner or remains at the table smiling and eating. Chris figures nothing out, it has to be spelled out clearly for him to realize, then he almost kills her right there on the couch. Maturity and wisdom go a long way.
Well naturally (as he's portrayed) Chris is very impulsive and not particularly cerebral or methodical, so even if Chris was older and more experienced, he's still his impulsive himself in the end. For instance, never say "A" to Christopher... 💥👊🦵
Well yeah, in Tony's situation he has to play it cool and act oblivious because it was clear Jimmy was wearing a wire right then and there. Tony didn't verbally acknowledge anything Jimmy was saying, only gave head nods, and tried to change the subject.
@@ShiddyKong Search up when Ralph called Paulie's mom late at night pretending to be the law. Listen to what he tells her about Paulie 😂😂 Poor thing is now on Xanax 😂😂
Imperioli's acting is so chilling in that scene. Tony had let him off the hook so many times where he just could have offed him, and now he finds out that Ade's been an informant the whole time. He's realizing that it in all likelihood, Tony probably wasn't going to let this one slide because how could he ever possibly trust Chris after this.
Christopher looks like he's about to throw up while he's listening to her. Imperioli was brilliant in this scene. That's EXACTLY how it would have been.
He was very good in that scene. He knew he should have killed her right there. And he does a more than credible job of playing both the struggle between rage and love he has for her at that moment. He knows its the end of the road, and that it came just that quick out of the blue, but.....he just can't pull the trigger, as he tells Tony the next day.
Notice how Jimmy asks Tony about “the Colombian money”. No spoken code, just a direct question. He was fishing with his wire on his body. In almost every other circumstance he would have used code to ask that question. IMO that is what gave him away. Got too cute and tried to get Tony on tape talking about criminal activity. Also, great to have you back Borko! Keep them coming!
There's a good reason in most good Mob movies and TV series that Guy A says to Guy B something along the lines of, "Did you take care of that thing?" The "thing" itself is never discussed openly. This lingo comes from real life. And if Guy B follows up with, "By that thing you mean the Colombian money?"--then Guy B will soon be "sleeping with the fishes."
I used to think maybe he wasn't an informer and Tony was just being paranoid and was disinclined to suspect Pussy. But yes, he is clumsily trying to manoeuvre Tony into saying something damaging for the wire.
What I like about the sopranos series back in the day there was no show like it. Great TV series. Every actor in the TV series great. Great story Great characters
Every episode was like a .mini Scorsese movie great casting great acting great music great story lines; over the years it also worked like a soap you saw his kids growing up going through adolescence teenage angst and gradually becoming aware of the real world and trying to find their place in it ,so many different story lines going on at the same time it's also like a documentary about today's society. Television as good as it can possibly get
Phil: I'll tell you one thing and I'm not afraid to admit it. My estimation of Jimmy as Paco Rabanne who crawled up his ass and died just fucking plummeted.
I’ve said this before, but the acting by Christopher/Michael Imperioli when he slowly finds out Adriana is a rat, it’s just…. The best. Like Al Pacino in Godfather 1 before he kills Solozzo
He was a real sticker I mean stickler for the details . Could always find a hole to squeeze his way through. Heard he really knew how to use his rectal muscles.
1:23 Tony "I know you must've ratted cause why would you be out so quickly" in double speak. Wow Sopranos was something else didn't catch this the first time
Man, the way Chris says “I fuckin loved you” was so spot on, conveyed so much emotion and the way he already refers to her as if she’s dead and gone … great acting by Michael Imperioli
notice how christuhfuh says “how could you do this to US” not even “how could you do this to ME” then apologizes to her for the first time in literally ever
Watching Jimmy Altieri clumsily trying to fish for info from Tony is so painful. How did a guy this dim become captain? You could see his ulterior motives from Florida.
3:26. Big P is mouthing off like a snitch. He's lost his sense of discretion and instincts as a mafioso because he's been snitching so long. This is another inkling to Tony that something isn't right with him.
Chrissy and Adriana were incredible in that scene...brutal she had to be killed and to make it worse she really wasn't out for personal gain she genuinely tried to do the right thing always....FBI essentially killed her...ruthless
Worst take ever. She was ALWAYS out for personal gain and didn't bat an eye at murder, theft, and drug trafficking as long as it filled her wardrobe with designer clothes. She flipped because the FBI threatened her comfortable lifestyle, not because she had a sudden crisis of conscience.
UA-cam notifications when Borko uploads: “I want you to see it! I want you to see that fuckin video strapped on a sopranos binge alright! I want you to see it!”
Watching Adriana's confession, you get the feeling that she might have had a very small - very, very small - chance of talking her way out of it until she starts with, "... There was a murder..." At that point, it was like a husband confessing an affair (e.g. Michael Douglas in Fatal Attraction): "She meant nothing to me. It's been over for a long time now... But she's pregnant." At that point, you're done.
Jimmy Altieri: "I wanted to get my boss to incriminate himself on a recording device... but I compromised, I asked a litany of painfully leading questions about detailed wrongdoing and got no definitive response."
"Hello Anthony "Tony" Soprano, my captain of the soprano crime family underneath Don Junior, I am here to confirm what we shall do with the illegally gained money from the Colombians. Yes I was let off on bail after being caught with an illegal firearm while on probation. Anyways I have to go thanks for the information, I promise I won't tell anyone Tony Soprano. Goodnight!"
I love the scene between Christopher and Adriana, Christopher’s eyes remind me of the scene in the godfather where Mike is about to whack Solozzo and his eyes are darting all over, then he switches to Henry Hills meltdown after Karen flushes the drugs in Goodfellas. Love it
It reminds me of the scene in godfather 2 where Kate tells Michael about the abortion. The camera shows a close up of michaels face getting more and more mad as she is talking, they do the same shot on Christopher here while Adriana was explaining herself
5:30 reminds me of that scene in Goodfellas where Jimmy asked Henry to perform a hit and the movie freezes. Then Henry says, with certainty, that he knew Jimmy would kill him. At 5:30 the look on Christopher’s face said - ‘I love her, but for this there is no coming back’. Adrianna was naive, and thought Christopher cared more about her than the Mafia but he didn’t. Later in life, Christopher would resent the Mafia and realised Adrianna really cared about him. Then his own death by Tony’s hands. It’s a tragic story.
Tony sopranos and he's whole crew would of been put in jail within a month if the major crimes unit from the wire were put on this case. The FBI were laughable in this show 😂
Lester and Prez would’ve come up with some creative way to bust them by like episode 5. McNulty would be Tony’s worst nightmare instead of a buddy buddy like Harris.
I know that when Pussy describes the phone scam is when Tony really knew he was a rat. What I don't get though is what was Pussy supposed to do there? Furio asked about it. Should Pussy and/or Tony been like "don't worry about it" etc?
The tip off was that Big Puss sounded too rehearsed when he was describing the scam. Big Puss probably describe the scam to multiple agents and Tony picked up that he's been explaining this a lot lately
@@temleburst1999He's thinking that Pussy is explaining a scam out in the open in full detail without using any codewords or ambiguity or anything like that. So anyone who says anything in support of it is dead to rights. Notice how neither Tony nor Silvio chip in with anything, because they're not that stupid.

He knows its the end of the road, and that it came just that quick out of the blue, but.....he just can't pull the trigger, as he tells Tony the next day.
Notice how Jimmy asks Tony about “the Colombian money”. No spoken code, just a direct question. He was fishing with his wire on his body. In almost every other circumstance he would have used code to ask that question.
IMO that is what gave him away. Got too cute and tried to get Tony on tape talking about criminal activity.
Also, great to have you back Borko! Keep them coming!
he wasnt though, he was never a rat and the FBI informants later revealed show jimmy was never a rat to begin with, they were just paranoid.
@@videogames9972he was most certainly a rat. It was never revealed that he wasn’t.
There's a good reason in most good Mob movies and TV series that Guy A says to Guy B something along the lines of, "Did you take care of that thing?" The "thing" itself is never discussed openly. This lingo comes from real life. And if Guy B follows up with, "By that thing you mean the Colombian money?"--then Guy B will soon be "sleeping with the fishes."
Its never confirmed either way. Just like how long uncle philly was in prison is kept as a mysterious secret to build tension.
I used to think maybe he wasn't an informer and Tony was just being paranoid and was disinclined to suspect Pussy. But yes, he is clumsily trying to manoeuvre Tony into saying something damaging for the wire.
Pure Kino: “they were asking a lot questions, like about the recent subscriber and upload views..”
Borko: “well your community has grown…”
"Borkos lawyers told them hey, he doesn't own these clips. These clips were here when he moved into the joint"
The way Italians say “Fat Fuck”. Is legendary! It really hits home. What a programme!
What I like about the sopranos series back in the day there was no show like it. Great TV series. Every actor in the TV series great. Great story Great characters
Every episode was like a .mini Scorsese movie great casting great acting great music great story lines; over the years it also worked like a soap you saw his kids growing up going through adolescence teenage angst and gradually becoming aware of the real world and trying to find their place in it ,so many different story lines going on at the same time it's also like a documentary about today's society. Television as good as it can possibly get
"The Sopranos" changed television forever. There is before Sopranos and after Sopranos. Period.
@@erichodge567 yes
Phil: I'll tell you one thing and I'm not afraid to admit it. My estimation of Jimmy as Paco Rabanne who crawled up his ass and died just fucking plummeted.
Coach turned into a pumpkin 😢
“Furio learns of the Ackamee business model”
He wasn't mad until he found out she informed about the family business.
I’ve said this before, but the acting by Christopher/Michael Imperioli when he slowly finds out Adriana is a rat, it’s just…. The best. Like Al Pacino in Godfather 1 before he kills Solozzo
It reminds of the scene in Godfather II when Kay tells Michael that she got an abortion.
@@SRLovesPandas1 great scene. I think that’s a better comparison
Christopher learning about the FBI might be single greatest piece of acting ever recorded.
The uploader, it's BORKO! Do you understand me? It's FVCKIN' BORKO! Two uploaders busted by HBO at the same time, Pure Kino & Borko.
I thought it was your kid brudda Billy. God rest his soul. 47... just a kid...
@@user.--.But me? I'm an old ghost.....
Jesus Philly...... what if Billy jumped the gun????
@@user.--.God forbid! God forbid!
@@user.--. You know who loved jumping the gun, it was Joey Peeps
-> Borko uploads something
-> Sopranos fans: That`s fucking beautiful! Hahaha
I heard Vito always find his man. He knew who was ratting. He was very persuasive.
Yeah he had his Johnny Cakes to grease the wheels...
@@user.--.he was greasin the union!
He was a real sticker I mean stickler for the details . Could always find a hole to squeeze his way through. Heard he really knew how to use his rectal muscles.
If Vito found you he'd give you a real shellacking !!
Vito "Early bird gets the worm" Spatafore
1:23 Tony "I know you must've ratted cause why would you be out so quickly" in double speak. Wow Sopranos was something else didn't catch this the first time
Man, the way Chris says “I fuckin loved you” was so spot on, conveyed so much emotion and the way he already refers to her as if she’s dead and gone … great acting by Michael Imperioli
Always taken note of this because he follows it up with ‘what’re WE gonna do’ and not ‘what am I gonna do’ as you’d expect him to say.
the close ups on his face when adriana is in the middle of telling him are nuts. it's crazy that he can do that with his face on command
Yeah, and see all the gangs older wives eating fine and zipping there lips 24/7. Best Mob TV there was!
I always read him saying “how can you do this to us” that he was referring to Tony’s crew and not him and Ade.
Michael Imperioli was the 2nd best actor in the series after James
Imperiolis acting in this scene..
Masterpiece
His son was his strength
100%, insanely good.
He was loyal to his capo
He took Ben Kingsley to acting school
It really is good acting. Anybody can see that. It's as plain as the nose👃on HIS face 😂😂😂
- Get of the phone
- I gotta go. Wassup?
- It's borko, it's fucking borko
- What?
- The clips...it's fucking borko
New copyright techniques, I should have clipped him right there in my fucking basement.
You know, Bobby DeMarco predicted all this
Interior decorators and czechoslovakians are two entirely different things.
Lmfaoooooo
I FUCKING KNEW IT
Who did wha?
notice how christuhfuh says “how could you do this to US” not even “how could you do this to ME”
then apologizes to her for the first time in literally ever
Facts 💯
2:00 he meant 'Jimmy McNulty from The Wire is the 🐐'
If you check out how many of the cast members who passed away, it's like 60-70 people sadly.
The fuckin 90s, 20-30 years out
The show started a quarter century ago and featured lots of older men. That's just life
all that charcoal broiled meat
Got cheaper as the series went on
I saw Michael Imperioli on the subway a few months ago. He was wearing a mask at first, but I could see it was him. Then he took it off.
Drea DiMatteo's performance in her last appearance as a living character was absolutely stellar, one of the greatest things in the entire series.
5:39 That’s the Al Pacino I’M ABOUT TO BEAT YOU KAY face… 😵💫
Watching Jimmy Altieri clumsily trying to fish for info from Tony is so painful. How did a guy this dim become captain? You could see his ulterior motives from Florida.
"You missed your calling. You shoulda been a lawyer".
"Please, enough people hate me".
Brilliant.
That last scene is some of the best acting ive seen. Right down to the labored breathing
Brilliant acting. That's why the sopranos is the greatest tv show of all time.
Despite the title, Adriana wasn't discovered - she confessed.
plot twist: there was never any FBI. just rival mobs posing as FBI intending to cause dissent for Tony's mob.
3:26. Big P is mouthing off like a snitch. He's lost his sense of discretion and instincts as a mafioso because he's been snitching so long. This is another inkling to Tony that something isn't right with him.
Michael Imperioli fucking killed this scene. Just his eye movements, processing the information that he and Ade are likely dead.
Chrissy and Adriana were incredible in that scene...brutal she had to be killed and to make it worse she really wasn't out for personal gain she genuinely tried to do the right thing always....FBI essentially killed her...ruthless
no the mob killed her lmao wtf is this logic man
She was dead the minute she moved in with Chris.
Worst take ever. She was ALWAYS out for personal gain and didn't bat an eye at murder, theft, and drug trafficking as long as it filled her wardrobe with designer clothes. She flipped because the FBI threatened her comfortable lifestyle, not because she had a sudden crisis of conscience.
Tony: The wire! Its Jimmy!
McNulty: The fuck did I do??
What a great actor, damn. 0:23 You can't see his eyes, but you can feel his mind flow, his realization.
Imperioli does very good face acting. You can see him grow cold and ruthless like a wolf before exploding into a silent anger
UA-cam notifications when Borko uploads: “I want you to see it! I want you to see that fuckin video strapped on a sopranos binge alright! I want you to see it!”
Watching Adriana's confession, you get the feeling that she might have had a very small - very, very small - chance of talking her way out of it until she starts with, "... There was a murder..." At that point, it was like a husband confessing an affair (e.g. Michael Douglas in Fatal Attraction): "She meant nothing to me. It's been over for a long time now... But she's pregnant." At that point, you're done.
Between Borko uploading telenovelas and Captains catching (not pitching) how much betrayal can us Subscribers take?
Jimmy Altieri: "I wanted to get my boss to incriminate himself on a recording device... but I compromised, I asked a litany of painfully leading questions about detailed wrongdoing and got no definitive response."
Jimmy is as good at hiding that he is an informant as he is at telling whether or not Tony just figured out he is an informant
If this is what happens to FBI informants, I can't imagine what borko does to HBO informants.
It won't be cinematic
@@charliehancock4581 Of course not, it's HBO.
Hadn't seen Borko for a while. Maybe he flipped?
I wish they had done more with Bobby DeMarco, he was my favorite character.
I wish they had Drea do a nude scene !
"Hello Anthony "Tony" Soprano, my captain of the soprano crime family underneath Don Junior, I am here to confirm what we shall do with the illegally gained money from the Colombians. Yes I was let off on bail after being caught with an illegal firearm while on probation. Anyways I have to go thanks for the information, I promise I won't tell anyone Tony Soprano. Goodnight!"
I love the scene between Christopher and Adriana, Christopher’s eyes remind me of the scene in the godfather where Mike is about to whack Solozzo and his eyes are darting all over, then he switches to Henry Hills meltdown after Karen flushes the drugs in Goodfellas. Love it
It reminds me of the scene in godfather 2 where Kate tells Michael about the abortion. The camera shows a close up of michaels face getting more and more mad as she is talking, they do the same shot on Christopher here while Adriana was explaining herself
That Adriana and Chris scene is just heart wrencing 😱
Legit sad asf
Adriana really believed the FBI 😥
Facts 💯
Whenever the FBI says it's gonna be nice and sunny outside I reach for my umbrella.
I recall what mark Wahlberg says about the FBI in departed ..."the FBI are like mushrooms. Feed them 💩 and keep them in the dark"
That scene looks so real. You can almost see Adriananas eyes bulging with the strangulation.
That last scene … probably the most powerful in the entire series.
right up there with Whitecaps
5:30 reminds me of that scene in Goodfellas where Jimmy asked Henry to perform a hit and the movie freezes. Then Henry says, with certainty, that he knew Jimmy would kill him. At 5:30 the look on Christopher’s face said - ‘I love her, but for this there is no coming back’. Adrianna was naive, and thought Christopher cared more about her than the Mafia but he didn’t. Later in life, Christopher would resent the Mafia and realised Adrianna really cared about him. Then his own death by Tony’s hands. It’s a tragic story.
Re-watched this series about 6 months ago and realized how phenomenal it was. Definitely ahead of its time. Great writing and terrific actors.
Tony sopranos and he's whole crew would of been put in jail within a month if the major crimes unit from the wire were put on this case.
The FBI were laughable in this show 😂
ROTFLMMFAO 😭💀.
Major crimes ? Shiiiiiiiiiiiit
Natural po-lease.
Lester and Prez would’ve come up with some creative way to bust them by like episode 5. McNulty would be Tony’s worst nightmare instead of a buddy buddy like Harris.
I dont know they were putting the screws on jimmy and adrianna like they were shcoolkids
I never saw Christpher so unhinged, he was seeing himself buried alive in the woods.
I know that when Pussy describes the phone scam is when Tony really knew he was a rat. What I don't get though is what was Pussy supposed to do there? Furio asked about it. Should Pussy and/or Tony been like "don't worry about it" etc?
What tipped Tony off in this scene that Puss was a rat?
The tip off was that Big Puss sounded too rehearsed when he was describing the scam. Big Puss probably describe the scam to multiple agents and Tony picked up that he's been explaining this a lot lately
I was searching for this comment lol I was wondering the same thing. What is Tony thinking about ???
@@temleburst1999He's thinking that Pussy is explaining a scam out in the open in full detail without using any codewords or ambiguity or anything like that. So anyone who says anything in support of it is dead to rights. Notice how neither Tony nor Silvio chip in with anything, because they're not that stupid.
3:03 the delivery on that line was incredible😂😂😂😂
Jimmy walking in there with a ten gallon hat covering a video recorder with a big hole right in the front. 😂😂😂
Everyone breathing hard like they have been running a marathon
Exaggerate much?
The end of this with the two of them crying reminds me of Henry finding out that Karen dumped the drugs before he got arrested in Goodfellas.
Adriana should have bolted 5 minutes after Chris almost choked her to death. Went straight into witness protection.
Paulie snitching would kill Tony instantly lmfao
When Adriana told Chris she’s a FBI agent his heart drop n soul was taken
Poor Chrissy ! How much betrayal can he take ?!
Awesome scene!
