The 'Sopranos' prequel film resolves a long-standing debate among fans about what happened to a key character, but it may not be who you think.
Who killed Dickie Moltisanti — and why?
Despite Dickie’s importance to Tony, until Chase decided to place the character at the heart of “The Many Saints of Newark” , little was known for certain about how he lived his life — or the exact manner of his death. The last words the audience hears before Christopher kills Haydu are “I’m sorry,” but it is not entirely clear whether those words are coming from Haydu or from the television that’s playing an episode of “Magnum, P.I.” in the background.
In fact, it was ordered by Tony’s uncle, Junior Soprano , whom we see after the hit receiving a phone call saying, “It’s done.” In “The Many Saints of Newark,” we see Junior’s sense of resentment toward Dickie Moltisanti slowly build, even as he outwardly tells Dickie to consider him a brother. While the two occupy a similar level in the DiMeo crime family, it is clear that Junior is less respected than the younger, less experienced but more charismatic Dickie, a fact that gets under the power-hungry Junior’s already thin skin.
