Tony as it turned out knew what he was talking about in that soon started the slow motion collapses and downfall of Jerry as well as his fellow mobster friends Joe & Serge, Joe Pesci & Bobby Alto, who were foolish enough to work for him. That had another victim of Jerry's brutal tactics store owner Izzy attacked in the bank parking lot, where he just withdrew $40,000.00, to be savagely beaten up and robbed by him together with Joe and left for dead there. Jerry who had earlier been shot and wounded by two hoods hired by Bernie who took off with the $28,000.00 he took from him. Now he ends up losing the $40,000.00 together with his two friends Joe & Bobby to hit-man Matley, Keith Davis. Its Matley who was hired,by persons unknown, to do a job on them as well as, for reasons not quite explained, both Greene as well as Bernie.
***SPOILERS*** Now all this killing on Jerry & Matley's part has become very personal with Joe & Bobby iced Jerry finds out by strong arming restaurant owner, by interrupting his pasta dinner, Spinoza-played by Frank Ammirati-who in fact contracted Matley to do a hit-job on them and where to find his secret hideout in the Meadowlands swamps and eventually setting him up in an ambush and whacking him. With what seems like his job as a collector on hold Jerry plans to take a trip to the Poconos with his live in girl friend Paula, Ann Jones, to chill out.
