Meaning of quote from show
All right, so the show is 'Gotham'. A mafioso type character who has the mayor, city council, and police department in his pocket is talking with a police detective about how he framed this random person for a crime so the public would see swift justice being done by the police department. The detective asks the mafia don why making the police department look good is so important to him. The don responds with "I'm a businessman. You can't have organized crime without law and order". What does this quote mean? And what's the significance of him saying he's a businessman at the beginning? If there is none it just seems kind of random
Then a few episodes later, the detective tries to arrest the don and they have another exchange of dialogue. The don says to the detective "One day you'll see I'm right. You'll see I'm not the enemy...the system isn't the enemy...the enemy is anarchy. I told you that before but you didn't listen." So why would a lack in the mafia's involvement in the city government/system mean that that system will be completely destroyed and anarchy will happen? He's implying that the only type of government is a corrupt one but I don't get how that's possible
Here's one of the scenes (sadly can't find the other one on youtube)
