Cosimo (Luis Guzmán) and Toto (Michael Jeter) attempt to steal a car and Cosimo gets caught. In jail, he meets an old man who tells him about a Bellini - a perfect heist -- which he cannot pull off because of his jail sentence. Cosimo wants his girlfriend/fiancée, Rosalind (Patricia Clarkson), to find a "Mullinski" (a first time crook to take the fall for his crime of grand theft auto) so that he can get out of jail and pull off this Bellini. After talking to Toto, Basil (Andrew Davoli), Leon (Isaiah Washington), and Pero (Sam Rockwell) - and telling them the basics of the "Bellini" in the process - Pero is paid $16,000 to confess to Cosimo's crime. In jail, he gets Cosimo to tell him what the Bellini is, and then lets him know that his sentence was suspended so that he walks out a free man, leaving Cosimo to rot in jail. LESS
