YMMV / The Outfit

• Magnificent Bastard: Leonard Burling, the seemingly humble owner of L. Burling Bespoke, was once a violent gangster who retired from crime to take care of his family, only to witness them getting burned alive once his past caught up to him. Moving to Chicago and starting his own shop, Leonard allows the Boyle crime family to drop off dirty money, but when the Boyles and LaFontaines start shaking up the neighborhood, Leonard plans to do something about it. Spending months plotting their downfall, Leonard creates makeshift letters from the Outfit to scare the Boyles into giving up an incriminating tape. Manipulating the Boyles into betraying each other, while even getting the family head Roy to walk into a deadly trap to save his secretary Mable, Burling makes a deal with the LaFontaines to hand them the tape in return for a ton of money, only to give them a fake tape and hand over the money to Mable so that she can live out her dreams. Burning down his shop while ensuring both crime families will go down, Leonard casually walks out of the incinerating building with plans to start his life over again.
