and moltesanti's relationship to come to an abrupt end as mcbreyer grows tired of the italian control within newark and specifically in the black neighborhoods this results in mcbreyer targeting moltasanti and his crew throughout the film along with mcbrayer despising against moltasanti dickie's girlfriend and basically his stepmother joe supina also sides with harold against maltesanti after contemplating to go into business at the beauty parlor with joe subpoena dickie reluctantly agrees on being partners with her however little did dickie know that josephina sneakily went into business with mcbrayer and had been sleeping with him behind his back with dickie full of shock disbelief anger and feeling like he was stabbed in the heart by joe subpoena an enraged dicky drowns joe subpoena a similar death out of rage that we saw earlier in the film when dickie killed his own father it's this scene here that is the true downfall of dickie moltesanti as he has completely lost who he is and was when we first saw him in the beginning of the film moltesanti has changed completely as he tries to become a better individual and influence for his nephew but yet he continues to steer him towards a life of crime which we know tony followed the last and most important enemy that dickie gained along his journey was uncle junior earlier on in the film when johnny boy soprano returned from jail we saw him resent junior's leadership while he was away johnny boy soprano went on praising the work ethic of dickie and we can see here from this conversation that junior begins to resent dicky there are other scenes throughout the film that display the resentment that junior carries towards dickie much like this dinner scene here and when junior tries to talk to a young tony soprano but livia tells him that he'll only listen to dickie towards the end of the film at a funeral we watch uncle junior slip and fall and seriously injure his back while trying to get up dicky can't help but laugh uncontrollably and mock junior this teasing by dickie was evidently the final straw for dickie to be killed in the eyes of uncle junior while it's unclear what the motive was for junior behind the moltasanti murder it's quite possible that a motive junior had to kill dicky was a way to get closer to tony and when it comes to who pulled the trigger this too remains a mystery as we can't fully get a clear-cut look at the perpetrator while tony said to christopher in season NUMBER_TOKEN that it was a crooked cop in barry haidu from what we can see from the film it's quite possible that haidu's desperate screams of christopher being lied to and set up were true christopher always had this image of his father being nothing more than a junkie despite him having no recollections of his father due to dicky dying while he was just an infant but from what we can see in
