In 1933, New York gangster Noodles (played by Robert de Niro) was hunted down for tipped off Superintendent Harold (Bruce Brenburg) that he had killed three of his accomplices. Before fleeing, he opened the suitcase where the gang funds were stored, but there were only newspapers inside. In 1968, Noodles, which had changed its name, received a letter from the synagogue informing the reburial of relatives and friends. Noodles got in touch with the rabbi and learned that the letter had been sent eight months ago and that his three accomplices had been reburied in a luxurious cemetery. Noodles returned to New York and sought out his old friend Mo (played by Larry Lap) to learn about the situation, but found nothing. During casual conversation, Noodles asked about Mo's sister Deborah (played by Elizabeth McGregor) and learned that she had become a famous actress. It turns out that the two had mutual affection when they were young, but Deborah (played by Jennifer Connelly) was ambitious and down-to-earth, rationally turning away the street thangler Noodles (played by Scott Tiller). Noodles found a key in the cemetery and used it to open the locker where the suitcase was stored back then. This time, the box was filled to the brim with 100-yuan notes and a note that read "Advance payment for the next job"...[Collapse]
