The Departed (2006)
Answer: It was Leonardo's father and girlfriend killed out by the airport.
No way.
Italian mob boss and wife?
Answer: It was Matt Damon's parents.
Answer: They were "Guineas from the North End" who tried to tell Frank what to do. (Guinea being a racial slur for Italian-Americans). It's most likely just two unknown people because they are credited in the film as "Executed Woman" and "Executed Man."
