Empire State Page #8

Got it.

- Let's get outta here.

- What, we stepping out?

- Yeah.

- Okay, let's do this.

Michael, where's, um...

- Where's what?

- Where's Jimmy?

Where's he been lately?

- Jimmy's working.

- No, I know, he hasn't been here in...

it's been like almost a week.

He's always with you.

I'm just wondering.

I'm just wondering where he is.

I think he's got the...

the construction thing.

- Oh yeah yeah.

- He's been working at that movie house.

- Mm-hmm.

- So it's been real busy over there.

Yanni, that looks good. Can you

turn it on? You can't turn it on?

There's a lava

in the back I think.

It looks good anyway.

Where the hell are you going?

Use the bathroom.

Hey, I'm looking for a...

Spiro Stravakis.

- Stavrakis.

- Stavrakis!

That's good.

Are the police asking?

- What, that obvious?

- Only if you're the police.

Yeah, we came here

about the Empire heist.

Just curious if anybody

knew anything about it.

The Empire heist in the Bronx?

- Mm-hmm.

- And you're here looking?

I thought the papers said

that was the Guineas.

- You know, the real mob.

- Ah, you know.

Big-time lowlifes,

small-time lowlifes...

it's all the same to me.

Ain't that right there, Michael...

Dimitriu?

Did I say that right?

You come into my place

and you start saying people's names,

- but you never said your name.

- You're right.

- We didn't.

- And what are you insinuating?

That maybe Michael here had

something to do with this robbery?

Just want to ask your boy

if he have any ideas on it, that's all.

My boy, detectives,

has the good f***ing sense to know

that if he or anyone around me had

anything to do with something like this

without my knowledge,

that they'd lose their balls.

So no, you can be certain

he has no ideas on this.

So you're answering for him?

- I just did.

- He's answering for you.

Okay. Well, we got nothing else.

- Yassou?

- Yassou, yeah.

All right.

Yassou.

Michael, have a seat.

Look at him,

he's talking to someone.

- Son of a b*tch.

- You sure?

I'm positive.

He's looking right at the camera.

I've been looking

at this thing all afternoon.

Ah, here he is.

Son of a b*tch.

Hey, Chris.

Hey, man.

- Hey.

- How you doing?

Come on in.

Hey, guys, give me the office for a sec.

- Sure.

- Hey, listen, I never got the chance

to properly thank you

for saving my life out there.

So thank you.

Yeah, I'm glad to see

you're doing okay.

Yeah, me too.

Here, grab a...

grab a seat, sit down.

Listen, uh, thanks

for coming down, man.

You know, any time something

like this happens

we gotta bring you down,

we gotta talk to people.

It's all the procedural bullshit.

You know the drill.

- Yeah, for sure.

- Okay.

So I gotta ask you...

nothing seemed out

of the ordinary? Not a thing?

Uh, I know it sounds crazy,

but, you know,

I was making the rounds,

I went to the bathroom.

I didn't hear anything. I come back.

That's it.

You know these guys?

That guy's a Michael Dimitriu

and another guy's

Eddie Papastratos.

They're small time criminals,

but I wanted to know if you knew them.

- Yeah, why?

- I was just checking, that's all.

I mean I haven't spoken

to them in a while, you know, if...

SO...

you know, I'm sure they had

nothing to do with this

- if that's what you're saying.

- I didn't say that.

But okay.

Okay, so,

you have any more questions

or is that it?

You said that there was

only one guy, right,

- who broke in, the robber?

- No no, I didn't.

You know,

I didn't see anyone, so.

Huh.

You know we got this video here

and, uh, near the money room

right before the guy

with the ski mask

looks up and he smashes

the surveillance camera,

it's like he's talking to someone.

Then he looks up

like someone told him

where the camera was.

It's the weirdest thing.

Like I told you,

I didn't see anyone, so.

Yeah, you said that already...

a few times.

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Okay, you don't know nothing.

Okay, are we good?

Yeah yeah yeah.

We're done.

Okay, great.

I thanked you

for saving my life, right?

- Yeah.

- Okay, good.

But that don't mean

for a goddamn second

that I won't hesitate

to drag your ass in

if I find out you've been lying

to me about all this sh*t.

Do you understand?

Yeah, I got it.

All right, we're cool.

Now you can go.

Whoo!

Hey!

Spiro wants to talk.

Get in.

Yo, Orlanda.

Please, sit down, yeah?

Here.

You're late, huh?

So this is where

we hang out, huh?

The big time.

Please, no secrets.

Put your bag down

right next to ours.

It's cool.

Eight mill, all there.

The coke pure?

Why do people always

ask that, huh?

It's the movies, yeah?

Of course.

Clean?

Of course.

Now you must have

serious financing

for Mike to make you his partner

instead of Jimmy.

- Right?

- Yeah well,

listen, Jimmy ain't

a part of this no more.

Okay?

Okay.

Let's count it.

And now we wait, huh?

It's a lot of money to count.

Christo Christara.

Wow, you've been through

a lot lately, huh?

Some couple of f***ing days.

We got something for you.

Where's...

where's our special guest?

Anybody know where

our special guest is?

- Taking a piss.

- He's taking a piss?

He's taking a piss.

Hey, he's taking a piss.

Okay, so.

Before you tell me where the money

from the robbery is in the Bronx...

and you're gonna f***ing tell me,

which is the only reason

we don't bash your

f***ing head in right now...

but before you do,

there's somebody I want you to meet

who's been telling me about a robbery

you didn't want to include me in on.

Spiro, listen,

I don't know what

you're talking about, okay?

Hey, I understand. I understand!

That's why I'm saying

I just want you

to meet somebody first.

It's not a big f***ing deal!

And here he comes.

We don't have to wait any longer.

Our f***ing special guest...

Mr. Jimmy back

from the f***ing dead.

Unbelievable, right?

Next time you want to kill somebody,

make sure you f***ing kill him!

How you doing now, Christo, huh?

Now go get my f***ing money.

Two?

Yeah.

Eddie Papastratos

working tonight?

Not tonight.

How about his friend, Chris Potami?

Who's asking?

Cops.

How about some menus?

Naw, it's all right, honey.

We really are cops though.

If it's okay,

we'd like to look in Eddie's locker.

Is that all right?

Eleni, come here.

These guys say they're cops

and they want to look

in Eddie's locker or something.

You're cops, the two of you?

- Those real?

- Yes ma'am.

- Yeah.

- What'd he do?

Well, we're hoping nothing.

All right then.

Come on.

- Just follow you?

- Yep.

Go ahead,

do what you want.

- Which one?

- Middle.

- It's okay?

- Mmm.

Find any sh*t about another girl

in there, you hand it over to me.

Yeah, you got it.

No goddamn way.

Wow.

Is eight.

Eight million.

It's all there.

Here's 400 extra.

It's yours.

Okay,

you can go now.

- What are you talking about?

- Stand up,

turn around and walk

out that door.

What the f***

are you talking about?

It's not hard.
