However, the baby starts crying when it sees Tony. When Johnny Boy comes home from prison, the family celebrates, and Tony Soprano's asked to hold the child.
There are a few reminders of the fate that awaits Chris, who makes a brief appearance in the movie as a baby (not played by Imperioli, obviously). Chris (voiced by Michael Imperioli) ends up narrating The Many Saints of Newark from the grave, telling us about his murder and his father, Dickie. Taken from us too soon by the hands of Tony Soprano. Had Christopher known that Junior ordered the hit, the events of The Sopranos may have played out very differently. What we never knew was that Junior orchestrated the death of Dickie, and it's unclear whether Tony ever knew the truth. Barry Haydu – who Dickie's son, Christopher, ends up killing. We know, from The Sopranos, that Tony believes the murderer to be Detective Lt. He ordered a hit on Dickie, and we get a brief glimpse of the man who did it. In other words, there was a lot of resentment, and Dickie laughing at Junior after the Soprano fell down some stairs was the last straw. The family seemed to see Dickie as more of an uncle to Tony than they did Junior. Then, there was Johnny Boy – Tony's father, played by Jon Bernthal – who told Junior to be "more like Dickie". Once, Dickie said that Junior should have clapped back quicker when someone took the mickey out of him and his goomar. Junior was humiliated a few times through The Many Saints of Newark by Dickie. It initially seemed that Harold would end up either being killed or killing Dickie, but before the two could exact revenge upon each other, a certain Soprano got in the way. So, who killed Dickie Moltisanti? That's a question that will surely cause some debate. There's a lot to untangle, but that's what you would expect from such a condensed story. Not to mention that Tony will one day kill Dickie's own son. It may be slightly unclear who did the deed, but we'll get onto that.Īlso of note, a young Tony Soprano (played after the time-skip by Michael Gandolfini, James Gandolfini's son) is present through many big events in Dickie's life, almost witnessing Dickie killing his own father and trying to see Dickie before his own death. The cranky Soprano orders a hit on Dickie, who later dies while unpacking the back of a car. Dickie comes over and starts laughing at Junior, angering him. However, at a funeral, Junior Soprano (Corey Stoll) falls over on some wet steps.
From this point onward, Dickie and Harold seem to be set on all-out warfare. Dickie later kills Giuseppina, drowning her in the ocean. Having been humiliated by Dickie, tensions are raw between the two, and Harold ends up sleeping with Giuseppina – now Dickie's lover (Melfi and Freud may have a few things to say about Dickie keeping his step-mother as a goomar.). Dickie comes to lock heads with Leslie Odom Jr's Harold McBraye, who once worked for Dickie but later starts his own crew.
