Whatever happened to the Russian mobster that Paulie Walnuts let get away a couple of seasons ago?
This ties into my theory on how the Sopranos will end. Supposedly the last scene takes place in a New Jersey ice cream shop. Here's how I think it'll play out:
FINAL SCENE:
TONY and AJ enter an ice cream shop. Robert Patrick's compulsive gambler character from season 3 is manning the counter, but Tony fails to notice. AJ glances up at the menu)
AJ: I want an ice cream cone... and a hamburger... and french fries.... and some fucking ziti (wink to the camera)... and...
TONY (shaking him furiously): YOU'LL GET NOTHING AND LIKE IT!
Just then, the INDESTRUCTIBLE RUSSIAN MOBSTER, still badly injured, storms into the shop and stares down Tony. We see he is holding clumps of wingtipped hair in his tightly clenched fists.)
TONY: No! It can't be you! We all thought you were dead!
The IRM says something in Russian, but some jackhammer noise outside drowns out his voice, so even if you speak Russian you don't know what he's saying, and it's supposed to always remain ambiguous.
Suddenly, the IRM attacks Tony, first attempting a bear hug w/ no success, then slamming him through a table in a feat of mom-rescuing-trapped-child-like strength. A horrified AJ stands there watching because he is useless. Robert Patrick has fled the scene. The IRM then drags a stunned Tony over to the soft serve machine, where he slowly empties its contents down Tony's throat, choking him to death.
The camera then pans from Tonly's lifeless body over to a tub of ice cream marked BEN & JERRY'S DUCK DUCK GOOSE. We hold this shot and superimpose it over a flashback of Tony frolicking with the ducks in his pool at the beginning of season one.
CUT TO:
A blank, bright white screen, in front of which stands the creepy, silhouetted old woman Tony has previously seen in his dreams. The figure steps slowly forward and is revealed to be... DAVID CHASE in drag. Chase then smiles knowingly at the camera as we fade out. The Rolling Stones' "Rough Justice" plays over the credits.
