You used me!

Let him go.

Get off me!

I get knocked down,

I get up and I keep fighting.

That's all either of us know how to do.

Kaz didn't screw you.

You screwed yourself

'cause you're an a**hole!

Nick!

Nick! I couldn't stop them.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this? Where's B?

B's suspended.

So are the others you bought off.

This building was condemned in '09.

You sublet it from a management company

that's not even licensed.

This is his property now. And we're

here to escort you off the premises.

What? You can't throw me out.

We can if you've been

running an illegal club.

Serving alcohol, without a license,

violating safety and fire codes.

I built this. This is mine!

- Not anymore!

- Everyone out now! Let's go.

I close million dollar deals

before morning coffee.

This, this is nothing.

And you, white trash with gourmet Chinese.

Stick to dollar carry-out.

You son of a b*tch!

Donny!

Restrain that man right now!

Let's go! Grab him.

Get him out of here.

Get him out of her right now. Let's go.

Did you see that!?

That's assault, pal.

Open up.

She's okay. She's okay. She's with me.

Bray! You're lucky.

Someone wants to cut you a break.

Let's go.

Give us 5 minutes.

We don't need those, do we?

- You okay?

- Yeah. You?

So I know everything.

I know that you jumped parole

back in Louisiana.

What?

Whoops. You forgot to

mention that, didn't you?

Aya, I... it's complicated.

Cops don't know it, yet.

But as soon as they run your priors

they'll find out

and then you'll be back to New Orleans

and back in jail for parole violation.

You had 6 months left. That's what?

6 more months behind bars.

Ouch. Doesn't have to be that way.

Here's the deal.

That remains our little secret.

I don't press charges

and you're free to walk out of here

and get on the next plane, train, bus,

I really don't care what,

back to New Orleans

to never come back here again.

And you come work for me.

Aya, no.

Keep your little friend here out of jail.

- Don't do it.

- Shut up.

And I give your brother his job back.

Now, normally, I like to give

my clients 2 minutes to decide

once I put the deal on the table.

Your time starts now.

He can't do this. I mean,

who the hell does he think he is?

Aya, I'm sorry, okay. I tried to tell you.

I wanted to tell you in the restaurant.

It doesn't matter now. I'm not even angry.

Where are you going?

To accept his offer.

No, Aya, you can't! I don't want you

paying for my mistakes.

There's nothing you can do.

If you don't leave, you go back to jail.

- I won't let that happen.

- I'll be fine, all right?

- Don't worry about me.

- Donny, take a look around.

Look where we are.

We had our time but you and I are over.

So he's dropping the charges.

You're free to go.

Wake up in the mornin.

Trying to wish the night away

Hiding in the corner.

Waiting for the light to change

Yeah. And you can tell yourself.

The drama doesn't help

Good luck getting out of your own way

Praying you can stop,

chasing everything you're not

Making all the same mistakes

Heaven forever slipping

through my arms again

I'm dying inside me

I know I'll find a way

to hold on 'til the end

The time will blame me

This curse is on my back

It's like it's got me trapped

But I will keep on trying.

I'll go on reaching

'til the world is in my hands

I'm catching shadows

Oh, oh, oh, Heaven forever

slipping through my arms again...

- Hey, it's me.

- Nick is looking for you.

Yeah, I know Nick's looking for me.

Just listen.

I need your help with something okay.

...hold on till the end

I'm catching shadows

- Is it on?

- Yeah, it's ready.

I left New Orleans Monday night.

A day later everything changed.

That's when I met Aya.

Since then a lot has happened.

It's been pretty crazy. And some of it

you've probably even seen on here.

As of today, the two hottest clubs

in Brooklyn are gone.

They shut down Static.

Took it from Nick and

everyone who works there.

And Kaz has been demoted.

Oto will never be the same.

Yeah, maybe Nick and Kaz went too far

and let their egos get in the way,

but these guys created something special.

Something visionary.

But who really brought them down?

Some bullshit operator on Wall Street. An

a**hole who ruined everything for everyone.

One of those guys who has money

but nothing else.

No vision. No morals,

but they wind up with all this power.

So what are we going to do now?

Do we just stand by and let this go down?

Not me. Not anymore.

I'm not going to throw

the towel in this time.

I'm making things happen now.

I'll start something new.

Bringing artists together

just like Nick and Kaz did.

So I'm hosting a pop-up club tonight.

If you guys want to come down

and check this place out.

It's going to be a great night,

no cover charge.

And, you know, what? Drinks are free.

Whoa? Free drinks?

Listen, we got to fill this place up.

We got to get them here somehow, right?

- What if this doesn't work?

- It has to.

Listen, just get everyone together, okay?

Go back to Static, raid the liquor stash.

We got a lot of work to do.

But don't tell Aya. Not yet.

We got to time this just right.

Hi. I'm looking for a Camille.

- Camille Young?

- Yes?

Hi. I'm with Cobu. I'm the manager.

Who are you and what are you talking about?

The group with the girls and the drums.

I've seen their stuff. You got to check

these guys out. They're amazing.

And I came to give you this. It's tonight.

They're going to be there

with a live audience

and everything you need

to see these guys in action.

Very nice. Thank you.

Wait. You got to. Just...

And it starts at 10.

So I'll see you there, right?

Maybe.

Rocketeer Entertainment. May I help you?

Sorry.

Thank you.

I knew you'd stick around. I think

you're the only honest person I know.

This is business.

You never touch me, you never try.

Exclusive terms.

My immigration lawyer is the best.

- He'll look after everything you need.

- And Kaz?

Well, I tried calling him

and he hasn't called me back.

Maybe you can give him a shout

and talk some sense into him.

I'll need you to sign where it's indicated.

Don't I get 2 minutes?

Why don't you read it over?

You can bring it back with you

tomorrow night when you start.

Hey, it's Donny, Nick's brother.

Listen, I need your help

promoting something.

Big news going down

in Brooklyn tonight, people...

Running through this city.

I've been gone so long...

He's expecting you.

Don't know how I'll make it

The guy's a wanker. Thinks I'm a Brit.

Thinks I'm Japanese.

He's been screwing me out

of deals for months now.

So the answer is, I'm interested.

Yo, Nick, it's past 9.

He's still not answering.

Forget him.

Yeah? Let's go.

Wait!

Your brother, he kind of made other plans.

What are you doing out here?

Kaz. Kaz, I have to show you

something right now.

- I got to go inside.

- Please. Please?

I'll be back.

- This place?

- Yeah. Come on.

- All right, so where is he?
