Wiseguy - (Nights in White Satin)

1/2 of finale of Steelgrave storyline (original Moody Blues song used.)
Sorry, I don't have more clips than these 2.

[@marinda3262]

Reading the comments, we all agree.30 , 40 years later and one still remember this scene.For years I was thinking about Wiseguy and this particular episode. edged in my memory.So happy I found it on KZbin. Been binge watching Wiseguy ever since

[@Randy-k7f]

Ray Sharkey is one of the greatest actors ever that is the scene that stands out i bought the DVD set and heard lame elevator music but we can all watch and listen to it the way we did all those years ago thanks to you tube Ray Sharkey is one of the greatest actors ever gone but not we love you you are missed RIP

[@nhmooytis7058]

First saw this 30 years ago and have never forgotten the effect it had on me. Amazing acting job from both Wahl and Sharkey. Always makes me cry :(.

[@rocklandrez]

I was moved practically to tears by this w/ the original music. Mature and real writing/acting - what a great and groundbreaking show!

[@theskipper0174]

This is one of the very few Stephen J. Cannell shows I have never seen before, and intend on finding in its original format with the music attached.

[@slightlycrafty]

October 2022 and this scene is still the absolute best written scene on a television series! I remember watching this with my sister when it originally aired... Not a dry eye in the living room.... The complicated friendship that Sonny and Vinny still stands the test of time!

[@donnachancey9037]

This episode is a very special memory, watching it with my Dad. We both cried..

[@Lorriann63]

This is the best scene of any show on television, ever! I watched it the night it was originally broadcast, and I couldn't take my eyes off it! Gave me goosebumps! Part of the reason is the song Nights In White Satin. It brings the emotions home. When I bought the DVD set years later they had taken the song out and replaced it with some lame instrumental music. It just didn't work as well. Even Ken Wahl said that he didn't know why they replaced it. He and Ray Sharkey had great chemistry together, and it shows in the exceptional acting both men did. I have the entire series, but seasons 1 and 2 are the best, with 1 being the greatest of all.

[@chriskehoe007]

I totally agree with you I have it as well I hated that they did this this segment and Mel profit were the best episodes of the series classics the music plays a big part in the scenes and they screwed it up by replacing that song

[@Lorriann63]

I am in total agreement with you!

[@HamillSparkles]

Unfortunately, The Moody Blues wouldn't negotiate reuse of the music...

[@hanksballoons]

The original scene tied so closely to the music, it still brings tears to my eyes. I remember watching this live, watching their friendship explode and the music describing it EXACTLY. I was 22 when this aired and it tore me apart. Unfortunately the money punks will never allow Wiseguy to be released 100% intact. The entire Dead Dog arc is unrecognizable without the music.

[@rebeccaann5364]

I absolutely agree with u.

[@karenmchugh8580]

I just started re watching this amazing series. At the end, when Sonny and Vinnie are fighting in the cafe, I was looking forward to the dramatic emotional ending between Vinnie and Sonny with Knights in White Satin on the jukebox. I was very disappointed when the song did not come on, but some quiet music instead! I looked at KZbin and saw this video that included Knights of White Satin. I wondered if there was some kind of copy right that would not allow Knights to be played. I am binge watching Wiseguy all weekend now. BEST series of the 80's.

[@midnightrider1827]

My brother and I 25yrs later still talk about this scene..I knew how good it was then and still do now..so powerful.

[@rebeccaann5364]

Oh hell yeah. Love it. I was a kid and remember this scene so well. Love the Sonny Steelgrave arch.

[@G.Farr4]

Just what I was looking for! Can’t believe it’s here!

[@donnachancey9037]

My Dad and I Never forgot this episode, and it could still bring tears today..we always called it, Sonny and Vinnie". 'Nuff said.

[@JanineLANeville]

Yes I've never forgotten this episode and scene and the song that went with it . It's good to know I'm not the only one .

[@lindaryan95]

Very powerful. Great acting. My favorite scene of the series. Watching it again on Roku in 2021.....just wish they had kept "Nights in White Satin".....worth the royalty money in my opinion.

[@clintongoodman6285]

Wow. Simply amazing how this scene fit perfectly with the songs played. The best t.v. series ever aired.

[@cryptowealthnetworkinfo2888]

My All TIME Favorite Series and scene. The Acting was Off the Charts!

[@ringsidejen1]

So much emotion..such great acting..This show is as timely and relevant today as it was when it first aired. Ray Sharkey and Ken Wahl deserved Emmys. So glad Ken is a Golden Globe winner.

[@rebeccaann5364]

I love this scene. Such great acting. Love the song playing in the background and it fits the scene so well. Love it when Sonny tells Vinny how are u going to remember this Vinny . How are u going to remember me Vinny. Best scene .👏

[@TheJcunnin21]

I remember watching this episode with my dad ( who passed away on 11/30/2010) it really reminds me of him . this was the best and I mean best show of the 1980's.period.

Very sorry for your loss.

[@JanineLANeville]

I've never forgotten this incredible scene. I'm so glad I can see it now on KZbin. Thankyou

[@samarazi]

Best tv show ever, and the "night in white satin" is the best part of this show. RIP Ray

[@affyo]

I can't thank you enough for having this to watch with Knights in White Satin in it, I LOVED THIS SHOW!! thank you for posting this!!!!!!!! WARMLY!!!!!!! 10 stars to you!

[@Madbandit77]

Damn. It's so Peckinpah (with a hint of Puzo) , in terms of the betrayal between two "friends" who come from the same neighborhood and have the same goals but they have different ways of going about it. It's kismet that Ken Wahl, the late Ray Sharkey, writer David J. Burke, director Rob Iscove and the series's co-creators Stephen J. Cannell (RIP) and Frank Lupo got this scene down to perfection. "Wiseguy" not getting an Emmy, albeit the show itself and Jonanthan Banks both earning nominations, is criminal.

[@Bladestar7]

This was the show back in the day. Ray Sharkey was amazing. this just showed the deep bond between Vinnie and Sonny. Even though they were on opposite sides, they had a love for each other

[@Jack-zq4rm]

I've never forgotten this iconic scene especially with the nights in white satin song.

[@meggiles6848]

I have never heard this song without remembering this scene. It was the third actor in the room.

[@margiekolby2014]

So amazing you can just feel the love between the two of them. I love this show. Thank You so much.

[@wolfieears1984]

You can. The music is expressing it, as are their faces. No wonder it affected Vinnie so badly in later episodes.

[@christineflowers9980]

I just saw this again, after years. I remember seeing this with my brother, the year it was first broadcast, and feeling a chill down my spine. This was some of the greatest acting on television, and it was all done with the eyes. There is nothing better, no better representation of true, betrayed, desperate friendship. Thank you so much for putting the original soundtrack to it. Profoundly moving

[@vance917]

One of the top five TV series ever. A true classic.

[@Jack-zq4rm]

Very well said

[@wolfieears1984]

Well expressed, Christine. This scene is unforgettable.

[@barbaradavis8452]

I loved Wise Guy. Your right about the acting. If it doesn't grab my attention. I move on. Not to many shows were ever like Wise Guy.

[@JulieAiken]

I agree. This stands out in my almost 60 years of TV watching as one of the top 5 scenes. Gripping and so emotional, even if you don't know the compelling story. Such a fantastic show (and great to see Jonathan Banks having so much success).

[@lynz034]

Only having recently watching Wiseguy, this scene is a stonker. The series is phenomenal with great story lines and actors. Better than half the stuff out nowadays.

[@ThirstyEye]

I knew of when it first aired, but yeah. I also only the fast few months watched it. Great stuff!

[@ThirstyEye]

2:07 "I don't like bein' stared at". OMG, vulnerability off the charts! this scene kills me. Already knows he getting nailed by the Feds, stressed. But his best bud (albeit undercover agent) peers into his soul and he can't take it. Heartbreaking.

[@nja3224]

A scene for the ages. Perfection. The nights in white satin replacement music killed the perfection that this scene was. It certainly didn’t improve it.

[@chriskehoe007]

This was a great show especially in the early seasons this scene still hits me hard when i see it what a classic scene why did they have to screw it up by changing the music in it

[@logovo]

It was one of those shows I had to see each week. Ahead of it's time for sure.

[@CarMoves]

The was the first time I heard Nights in White Satin. This scene was so powerful, I went and got their album the next day.

[@AdrianGonzalez-dv8mb]

I love this scene it so powerful and sad you can see the great acting and the song goes with it

[@JimmyJig57]

Extraordinaire. Vu en août 1997. The ultimate échec song

[@spiderlegs50]

If this scene doesn't make your eyes swell up,,,you have no emotion. 😢

[@sammypepper1964]

One of the best 10 minutes in Television History.....Wiseguy Nov. 1987 (CBS)....Ken Wahl and the late Ray Sharkey......featuring Good Lovin' by the Rascals and Nights in White Satin by the Moody Blues....

[@jamieashby8810]

It's absolutely criminal that they didn't pony up the cash for the rights to 'Nights in White Satin' for the DVD release. Hell, even a cover version would've been better than the lame, nondescript, generic music they inserted. Absolutely ruined the scene and destroyed the impact. Thanks so much for posting this gloriously done moment.

[@donnachancey9037]

Well said! Reruns are on Z Living now, and I was Shocked that they did this!

[@cryptowealthnetworkinfo2888]

INDEED!

[@kienischneider9862]

The generic music completely butchered the scene. The song basically acted as a script. Without it, the scene is meaningless. I saw it with the generic music first and was confused why it was going on for so long with them just staring and drinking. I mean honestly, just how much does it cost bc you can't have this scene without the original music.

[@Lorriann63]

I definitely agree!

[@jdfox8889]

Oh so that’s why it doesn’t play when you watch it on KZbin for free so this song did play in the television show

[@PaulLesFender]

Ray Sharkey was a legend....

[@dragonusn]

I knew I wasn't insane! I was watching this on HULU and they took this song out of it! I saw this episode ONCE when it originally aired over 20 years ago. I never forgot this scene. The song made it powerful and was pretty key to the depth of the emotion of the situation. I guess licensing must have been an issue. Just goes to show that money CAN stifle creativity.

[@Rinoaeris]

First time ever watching Wiseguys (loving it, wish the Steelgrave arc had lasted longer!) and just watched this episode on Prime. I'm so disappointed they didn't keep the original music. 'Nights in White Satin' makes this scene far more impactful than whatever rubbish they swapped it for!

[@dirkenharris1205]

I loved this show when it first came out and watched every episode. I never forgot this scene out of all of them. I just started re-watching on Roku channel. I couldn't wait for this scene to come up. I was literally shocked when "Night's in White Satin" didn't play! I still can't understand WHY in Sam Hell it got edited out! It was the absolute perfect song to play. Whoever decided to take it out should be tortured endlessly. Thank you for posting the original scene and how I remembered it.

[@Wagara]

My absolute favorite show. The Steelgrave arc was the best of the show if you watched it from beginning to end. Thank you for posting this.

[@ThePass1967]

you and me both i was 19...what a show...what a time..i miss the 80s

[@victorrivera8807]

I Can't Here this song without thinking of this scene. This is one of the greatest shows ever. Can't believe it was cut out of the DVD.

[@PFCD]

What a shame that this is no longer on video with this song. It changes the entire feel of the scene without Nights in White Satin.

[@nigelfoote2898]

The perfect song to a great show makes all the difference. Miss this show a lot. Ken Wahl was a total badass. The villains were the coolest characters ever created for the small screen IMO.

Crying!

"Just what the truth is, I can't say any more" My god, could they have timed those lines any better? Absolutely the perfect song for this scene and they can never legally broadcast it

[@wolfieears1984]

@@hanksballoons The lines of the song say it all. Look at Sonny's face when they're singing.."I love you.." It's speaking volumes , as is Vinnie's. Never put into actual words until the moments just before his death.

[@goodplenty534]

The feels

[@kencooper8835]

Such an iconic show. That first season was perfect. When Nights in White Satin started playing, I teared up.. because I felt what was coming next.. Though violent and horrific, Sonny went out on his own terms.

I love this show. Have the dvds. Ken Wahl and Ray Sharkey are so good together. The end is so sad. They portrayed their characters so well. Excellent show.

[@cathyr1560]

[@LogoMan7777]

Catalina Interesting. I read somewhere that disc 4 on one set had Ken Wahl's commentary on an episode and no way to shut it off. And they were Ken's favorite episodes, too!

[@cathyr1560]

Greg Palmer I have 4 box sets. Ken Wahl does commentary on each one but not every disc and have no problem with that. My favorites are #1 Sonny Steelgrave & the Mob and #2 Mel Profitt. There is a gag reel on the first box set. Wish there were more. Love the gag reel.

[@vance917]

The end that I find so sad is that one of them died of AIDS, and the other fell down some stairs and broke his neck.

[@John_Locke_108]

I remember watching this with my sister the day after it aired. I was ten so it was on past my bedtime but she taped it for me. And we we watched it together and we cried so much. Every time I hear this song I think of watching this episode with her.

[@kforcer]

Taking this song out of the DVD version was almost like a slap in the face--waiting for it, experiencing the build-up...and then...nothing.

[@taratova]

The best acting I ever saw was this scene. Vinnie and Sonny. I was shocked they killed off Sonny. This was the best episode when Sonny was on Wise Guy.

[@affyo]

LOVED this show, especially these episodes with KW and Ray Sharkey,Sad that they could not put this song on the DVD set, i really miss it not being there, thank you for having the orgianal posted,brought back wonderful memories, thanks so very,very much!

[@ThePass1967]

was one of the most amazing scenes i ever saw..i remember where i was when i saw this...all those years ago

[@logovo]

Yeah, The Sopranos made me think of Wiseguy. It was sort of ahead of it's time. It might not have had the mafia character as the main guy, but Steelgrave was sort of a prototype for Tony. The bloody, ruthless mafioso whos still was sympathetic.

[@ChuckieMcHaggis]

Totally know where you're coming from. So many 80s programmes were laden with clunky, cheesy dialogue. Then this final scene. You can almost hear the director arguing with nervy producers: "No, really, the audience is intelligent enough. The characters don't need to say anything while the song's playing. Yes, I know it's five minutes without dialogue, but if you look closely, the characters are actually still communicating."

[@nhmooytis7058]

McHaggis Chuckie I thought it was the most homoerotic thing I'd ever seen.

[@wolfieears1984]

They sure were. Unforgettable.

[@theweirdturnprofessional9321]

Ray Sharkey owned Sonny Steelgrave. He was robbed of an Emmy. May his sweet soul RIP.

[@marinda3262]

Absolutely. He was superb as Sonny

[@Macleodking]

I always wondered about the subtext of this scene. Nights in White Satin is a very romantic song, and these two characters were very close. And Ray Sharkey saying "How you gonna remember this?... How youe gonna remember me, Vinny?" And of course Ray Sharkey died later of AIDS.

[@donnachancey9037]

The way my Dad and I interpreted it was "Knights In White Satin".

[@wolfieears1984]

Supposedly caught through drug usage..It's the subtext in this that really grabs you. You know what they both want to say by their expressions throughout this beautiful song. What fantastic actors. I could have watched both arcs in season 1 stretched out over several seasons.

[@wolfieears1984]

In the Nights in white satin part of the scene, Sonny keeps his eyes fixed on Vinnie but Vinnie can't hold his gaze, looking away/shifting uncomfortably about 8 times. So although he says "I've made my peace, Sonny"...he hasn't..and actually never will, and rightly so.

[@freespiritjustsoul]

WOW...I NEVER saw this show...I gotta find it on DVD! It is OUTSTANDING!!! And that Vinnie guy...He is SOMKIN' HOT!

[@blackamerican40]

This scene always makes me sad. RIP Ray 😢🙏

[@ellenshipley1240]

Thank you. I've wanted to see this scene again for years.

[@seamusberen]

one of the great scenes in tv history--really screwed it up on the DVD by taking out the song--the lyrics really mirror the tortured relationship of these two--Wahl was really good. Sonny and Vinny made this series work. Thanks for showing the original ending.

[@Sistahmomma]

This scene was cut out on the dvd. WHYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!?????? I was transfixed to the set watching this go down. Vinnie and Sonny formed a bond that neither realized was so strong until the end. Nights in White Satin was the perfect song for that moment. They lived the high life, dressing to the nines, wining and dining at the best places. Ah, everything must end...sooo sad. Loved that show. Wish they'd bring back the reruns.

[@Madbandit77]

Music rights. As for reruns, the show's on the Heroes & Icons Channel.

[@nickgrilli7302]

If you were a fan of the show, and knew the characters, the scene with Nights in White Satin is one of the best scenes ever in movie or TV history. Everything just flat out worked in that scene. Today they heavily modified it by cutting parts and original music, and it is not even close to the original.

[@mpb1472]

I just watched this on the Roku channel. They destroyed a masterpiece of a scene by not including the song, The Knights In White Satin. The weight of the moment and the emotional impact was all right there for us to see and feel. I remember being so moved by it and in this recent viewing feeling deprived of something so special. The series was great but the Steelgrave arc was the best part of it. Ray Sharkey and Ken Wahl had a perfect chemistry.

[@Leslie-um6wj]

Thank you, thank you for adding the music! It's just like I remembered it - it gives me chills.

[@Fiorano1978]

sometimes ... an exchange of glances is much stronger to express the feelings of attachment that one has towards one another ... as Vincenzo felt them for Sonny despite the fact that he was an agent of the FBI and that his final goal was for him to be arrested, he experienced strong things with him and the reverse was just as true for Sonny who considered Vinnie as his brother ... which only returned his betrayal to his eyes that more cruel and consequently its inevitable disappearance ....

[@davestonehill6177]

Great scene!

[@LanceZaan1]

I remember right after seeing this episode I went out and bought Days of Future Passed.

[@gabriellefarrell9497]

The writers did an excellent job. For nine previous episodes we got to watch Sonny and Vinnie become friends, and then brothers. That's what made this scene so good. They didn't cram their relationship into 45 min, or a two part episode. This scene is raw to anyone who watched the series from the beginning. Sharkey was amazing, and the director was amazing for capturing it the way he did. As a 30 yr-old the 80's are not my era. I didn't even notice the song that was playing on the jukebox until I rewatched this scene on KZbin and read the comments. I cried regardless of the music, that's how good it was. These guys should've won something. It was a TV show for crying out loud! Who puts in this kind of effort for a TV show? Today's writers could really learn a thing or two, even from short lived unknowns like this. In fact, a lot of good stuff came from short lived unpopular shows. These are the jewels of Hollywood! This episode was so raw, I stopped watching the show. I don't know why but I couldn't keep on. It had to end here for me. Maybe later I'll pick it up again.

[@threerings1345]

Off the subject of this scene the actor Jonathan Banks was tremendous on this show. When he appeared on Breaking Bad for the 1st time in '09 I told my friends that he was in Beverly Hills Cop and 48 hours, but they didn't realize it and thought it was strange that I even knew his name at 27 years old. Fast forward 9 years to 2018 and he's now one of the biggest and most popular actors on television.

[@JohnDoe-rj8nd]

Fair warning that the new blu ray re-release not only didn't add the song back in, but they cut out the entire section where the juke box plays. Luckily there is a torrent out there that has all the original DVR recordings from when the show was on air, with all the original music.

[@bobbyt1318]

~Ray Sharkey RIP

[@logovo]

Yeah, I heard about that. I know that fans played the episode and put back the right song. That is how I came about this clip.

Wow. I love that piece. And thanks for posting it! I have the DVDs, but I haven't had the stomach for watching that scene to see what they did to it.

[@43658hgt]

I saw this scene just by a random chance once about 30 years ago and I've never forgotten it . It was so haunting , powerful and beautiful . Nights in white satin was the perfect music for it.

[@Jack-zq4rm]

It's almost touching to see them both physically close and climbing up to look out considering they were trying to kill each other only a few moments ago.

It's kinda crazy how far ahead of the curve this show was. This show came out a decade before the Sopranos.

[@ThirstyEye]

Ken suffered a serious neck injury in 1992! Maybe you know more than I, but sounds like he never recovered from the chronic pain.

[@wolfieears1984]

@@ThirstyEye It was earlier than that I think but in a way it was his own fault. He fell down some marble stairs in the house of someone else's fiancée!! Said at the time it was due to a motorbike accident because he didn't want the truth to come out. Unfortunately KW allowed himself to be caught up in the "famous" trap thinking he could do what he liked as not constrained by "normal" standards. This even though he always made a big thing of he was only doing it because it paid well, could give it up tomorrow etc. Just a normal guy. And so on. He didn't leave Los Angeles though!

I'm sure he was embarrassed about the circumstances, but I do believe him when he also states that he did not want to bring negative publicity to that lady and Rodney. And one can slip on stairs anywhere. No, infidelity is not to be celebrated. But *where* this happened is not important.

[@wolfieears1984]

@@ThirstyEye I'm not saying where it happened was important per se but I'm saying it was RELEVANT to what we were discussing. The original comment was that he "threw his career away" and you replied that he got a serious neck injury as if that hadn't been a conscious thing to do but some random bad luck. And I said it wasn't random as such but a result of him being somewhere he shouldn't have been, carrying on with someone else's fiancée (i.e. risky in more ways than one and not something someone with integrity would do). I love "Vinnie" as a character and I like Ken Wahl but he was far from perfect.

[@ThirstyEye]

@@wolfieears1984 Fair enough. I don't know much else of Wahl's work, but I'd recommend The Soldier if you've never seen. Rather goofy action film, but some undeniably impressive moments. I finally watched Wiseguy this year, dug quite a bit. But in some ways Wahl to me will always be The Soldier 'cause that's what I first saw as a kid, haha.

(Google)....November 12 1987, mesmerized in front of the TV watching this scene. Initially attracted to Wiseguy as I live in Vancouver; first season unforgettable. Can it keep it up? Only the toes knows... Second season, Memorable. 3rd Season Meh. 4th season? In 1990 we didn't have a term for realizing your favourite show now sucks. May 2 1996 Reunion movie..interupted by earthquake after 5 minutes. Never saw it repeated.. (Glance at sidebar)....Watch? 16 years, That's a long break :)

[@albionangel]

wow, I haven't seen this since it originally aired, but the final scene has stayed with me all these years.. "how are you going to remember me?" and then them looking into eachothers eyes as the song goes "and I love you"... so intense, some of the best TV ever. Do you watch the sopranos? another great mafia show that makes great use of good music.

[@wolfieears1984]

Yes the song is saying it for them.

[@Galen-864]

It was absolutely sickening that they took the original music out of this scene because it completely destroyed the entire meaning of one of the best television storylines/relationships ever - a story of brotherly love and betrayal. I got burned for $80 when I eagerly bought the DVD twenty years after this aired, waiting in anticipation for this scene, and was horrified at what they had done to it. There should be a law that they can't remove the original scores and songs and basically steal from fans.

[@Jack-zq4rm]
