Hey! You crazy, man?

Kaz, we'll kill you!

Let's go!

Aya!

Hey, Nick, you all right?

Hey!

Aya!

Come on.

What?

Go! Go! Go!

All right. We made it.

- Who are you?

- What?

Who are you? You jump up on the bar,

put cans on your feet.

- Who does that?

- You were up there too.

Where to?

10 blocks at the subway.

Okay. Yeah. It's a tight squeeze

back here, man, don't you think?

File a complaint. I am a courier, too.

I have many jobs.

It is New York.

Are you okay?

He hit you.

Been popped harder. I'm Donny.

Aya.

Yeah, I know.

How do you know Nick?

He's my brother.

- Your brother?

- Yeah.

Well, our moms used to work together,

mine split.

So Nick and his mom took me in

when I was just a kid.

So he's my brother.

This is crazy.

It was kind of crazy

but we kind of got used to it.

No, no, no, no. You saw what happened.

Nick and Kaz were ready to kill each other.

Whoa, listen, I just got in today.

I'm not in all that back there.

You're in it now.

What the-?

Stop! Don't.

Well how can I find you?

Give me your phone.

Aya!

Come on!

I didn't even know my phone could do that.

Go.

Let's go!

Are you f***ing crazy?

Someone could have been killed.

No, stop it!

We can keep this up right here, if you want.

Either shoot somebody or pay me.

My meter's running.

Get in the car now.

Get in the car!

In the car.

What kind of stunt was that, huh?

What are you doing?

Someone could have been hurt.

See?

This is exactly what I warned you about.

You don't know sh*t!

You been here one day- He's been here one

day and look at the mess you've caused.

Listen, I have nothing to do with whatever's

between you and her brother.

I told you to stay off my stage, didn't I?

I was on the bar.

Yeah, I'm going to hire

a babysitter next time

Now get your ass in the car.

Yo, let's roll.

Forget this.

Man you don't even know where you're going.

Yo, Nick, you want me to go and get him?

No. Let him dance with a hat

on the ground for a few days.

You reached Nick, you know what to do.

Hey, man, it's Donny.

Just give me a call back when you can.

We goin' light up this city

Ooh, if you're rolling with your crew,

I pity, pity the fool who,

Who don't rep for this city

Ooh, if you got some drank in you,

I pity, pity the fool who,

Who don't rep for this city.

We goin' light up this city

Ooh, if you're rolling with your crew,

I pity, pity the fool who,

Wish us luck.

Who don't rep for this city

We goin' light up this city

We put this together for you.

Thank you.

- How many girls do you use again?

- 6, counting me.

Oh, this next one has a softer vibe.

That's better.

So when are you performing next?

We don't really have a spot right now.

But I need to see you live,

in front of a crowd.

The audience goes crazy when they see us.

It happened the other night.

But I wasn't there.

Camille. Your 2:
30's here.

Look, we produce live acts.

We find you names to tour with or open for.

We connect you with investors

to fund off-Broadway runs.

But we need to know if there's an audience

for anything we back.

Good luck.

- Here you go.

- Thanks.

I'm not your ordinary

chick with the radio song

I'm not saying I ain't cute

but don't get me wrong

I'm making... making... when you put it on

All the way to the... Club

Don't be confused when you see me

I don't want to be compared to nobody

If you want me to start to raise you up

Crank it up a little higher

'til you feel good...

Admit it. You were only there

last night to show Nick up.

- You hate losing as much as I do.

- I didn't lose.

Michael.

Eh, "Kon-ban-wa. "

I understood some of that.

My impressive Japanese, right?

Natsumi. Hi. Aya, how are you?

Good, thank you.

Let's hear it one more

time for Blueprint Cru!

New system sounds great.

A little too much bass, if you ask me.

Here we go with the Korean again.

Maybe he didn't want you to understand.

So come on, let's do this.

Sunday night, you and your girls

finally perform here.

You can go on as late as midnight.

We can invite Camille.

Camille?

This producer that's interested in us.

Really?

She just needs to see us live

in front of a crowd.

I see, so you want to use my place

for your audition?

Your and my brother's place, you mean.

Yeah, I don't think it's

going to work like that.

See, if you perform here it's exclusive,

nowhere else.

Look, it's just business, okay?

I'll tell you what. I'll tell you what,

I'm a fair guy.

I'll match whatever this producer offers

and I'll add two percent of the door.

That's good business.

- Thank you, but no.

- Aya.

I said no thank you.

Excuse me.

Well, I've got guests to show backstage.

Let's get a technician

in to calibrate that bass.

Put your hands together,

ladies and gentlemen!

- Tonight's headline

- All the way from Korea. U-Know!

A mile out and we're traveling alone

Things are calm and you were saying

Where are we going

Do you know the way?

2 miles out and the warning lights on

And so I say the car's overheating

We're done for today

Think about the way that we came

Doesn't make any difference

When it all breaks down

Here we are

Running on empty

Hey.

What are you doing here? If Kaz sees you...

Forget your brother. I came to see you.

What we did last night I haven't done

something like that in a long time.

It was amazing.

- It was okay.

- Okay?

Whoa, what if I said I was holding back?

Then I'd say you're lying.

Let's get out of here then and find out?

- No, I can't. I have to work.

- This late?

Something happened at Static.

I don't know what it was.

- You felt it, too.

- I don't even know you.

- We can solve that problem.

- We can't solve anything. Kaz.

- My brother could hurt you.

- I'm not afraid of him.

There's the door, let's just get out

of here, okay? Nobody's looking.

This way.

Hi Aya.

Hey.

- What are you doing?

- Keep it on.

Go! Go!

I just want you to be successful.

You know that.

I'm not going to work for Michael.

I'll be here, okay. Nothing's gonna happen.

You can't always protect me.

What if Nick's right?

What if all you did was steal his idea?

Steal? He's the one who screwed me, okay.

And you can't patent an idea.

I opened up a real club,

not some underground joint.

Nick has to bend rules and skirt laws.

He can never do what I've done.

But how much of yourself have you given up?

You're running out of time, Aya.

- Come on.

- Hey!

I don't believe you paid the cover charge.

Yeah, your joint's over-priced.

Did Nick send you?

No, I just wanted to see

this dump for myself.

Well, now that you've seen it,

don't come back here no more.

One thing. What kind of shampoo

does this guy use?

What is this? What is this?

Are you nuts? If someone sees.

It's Nick's brother.

You're that Wall Street prick, right?

Yeah, he came looking for Aya.

Oh. Come on, let's go. Let's go.

His brother?

This could not have been the plan

Be exactly where I am

Never found a place to land
