What happens between the scene where Max knocks Noodles out, and the moment Noodles come to?
I know a lot of the footage of Once Upon a Time in America is missing, but I cannot understand what happens between the scene where Max knocks him out and the one where Noodles all of a sudden appears in the street and contemplates his friends' corpses.
When does he come to, and what has happened to the party?
How much time elapses between the body-bags scene and the opium den, where Noodles already has a newspaper with the latest news?
Best Answer
When Max knocked Noodles out, he went away for his score but due to information given to the police by Noodles, they weren't successful (as we know upto that scene) and were shot dead by the police:
Minutes after calling the police, Max knocks Noodles unconscious during an argument. Regaining consciousness, Noodles finds out that Max, Patsy, and Cockeye have been killed by the police, and is consumed with guilt over making the phone call.
But it was all Max's trick, he explained it to Noodles later in the movie:
Max explains that corrupt police officers helped him fake his own death, so that he could steal the gang's money and make Deborah his mistress in order to begin a new life as Bailey, a man with connections to the Teamsters' union, connections that have now gone sour.

If you are referring to the last scene of the movie, then it was just after Noodles found the dead bodies of his friends. The opening and the ending scene are sequential:
The end returns to the opening scene in 1933, with Noodles entering the opium den after his friends' deaths, taking the drug and broadly grinning.

When the teenage Deborah refuses to open the door to tend to Noodles wounds that has just been beaten up by Bugsy and his gang, she does it because she wants to shut him out (literally and metaphorically) and because she doesn't want to be dragged down by him, as she knows she would be if she lets him in.Gumball | Darwin's Potato Diet | The Potato | Cartoon Network
