The Yards Page #3

- What is it?

- Open it up.

Oh, Willie.

We'll tell everyone this weekend.

I want to make this right.

I love you.

- So where are we going?

- We're going to the Sunnyside yards.

The guys will be there.

They're waiting for us.

There's someone new I want you to meet

that's working with me now.

What are we going to do down there?

We take out our competitors' trains.

Short their stuff out,

make sure it don't work right.

Make it unreliable,

and we get the jobs.

Tonight, it's Weltec's trains.

Remember those f***ing guys

we had the run-in with at Borough Hall?

I just want you

to stand back and watch tonight.

Everything's going to be all right.

- Boys, what's going on?

- How you doing?

- What's up, Dante?

- How you doing, Todd?

Hey, Leo.

Raymond, that's Leo.

- How you doing, man?

- What's going on, how are you doing?

He's coming down with me to make a drop.

You ever in Local One or Local Three?

No.

'Cause we don't deal with construction.

I don't know nothing about that.

All right, well, you're here

'cause your friends clear you.

All right, we're going down.

Leo, stay here.

- Make sure nobody comes down, all right?

- All right, I'll hang right here for you.

Got you those Knicks tickets.

This is for you.

I don't want it, Willie.

You gotta get your guys off the tracks.

- What are you talking about?

- You've been moved out.

Weltec came in here last week

and they put 2k right there.

- And they got the muscle to back it up.

- Come on, you know how this works.

Somebody comes to you with a better offer,

you come back at us.

Word is Electric Rail's going under and

Weltec guaranteed they'd match any offer.

Now, Willie, get 'em off the tracks,

'cause I got the cops coming down here.

Keep going.

Come on.

You wouldn't do that to us.

- What the f*** are you doing?

- Jump.

Willie!

Will!

Hey! What are you doing?

- Nothing.

- Nothing? What do you mean, nothing?

You a troublemaker? I oughtta crack

your f***ing head open, you know that?

Turn that thing off.

- What the f*** you gonna do with that?

- Turn that f***ing thing off.

I'm talking to you.

You got some ID?

Don't f***ing do it, man.

Put your hands up. Turn around.

- You little f***er!

- I didn't do nothing!

I oughtta break you down, motherf***er.

- Hello.

- Mrs. Handler. Is Leo there?

I'm here, Ma. You can hang up.

You've gotta know.

I didn't mean to do it. You know that.

What the f*** happened?

You said everything would be all right.

Everything got f***ed up.

Did anyone see you? What did you do?

What do you mean? A f***ing cop came

down and beat me on my f***ing head.

You OKK?

Yeah, I'm all right,

but I don't know about the cop.

All right. We can't panic.

I'll talk to Frank and he'll know what to do.

Don't worry. Leo. The borough

can't afford arrests and investigations.

The f***ing politicians are in on it.

- You understand?

- I understand.

Willie.

Hey.

I didn't know you were staying here tonight.

I had to get out

of that f***ing house.

Who's that?

- Who is it?

- Raymond.

What the f*** happened?

We can't talk right now. Get the guys

and we'll meet back at the office tonight.

All right?

Is that blood on your hands?

It's nothing. I cut myself. Go home.

- Who was it?

- It was just someone from work.

Now?

Don't worry about it.

Just go back to sleep.

Hello.

- Hold on.

- Who is it?

I don't know.

- Yeah?

- Some trouble this morning?

- Who is this?

- You know the yardmaster is dead.

And that cop may not make it either.

- Hector, is that you?

- You come forward.

Weltec has some very good lawyers.

Don't call here again.

What does everybody want?

I'm sorry, it's so crazy.

I didn't know you were

gonna be here this morning.

I can't wait till we get married.

We'll tell my mother.

Then we'll get married.

We're gonna have a whole family.

- What's the matter?

- Nothing. I'm tired.

- Busca al senor OKIchin?

- Si.

El esta en ese cuarto.

Esta en un meeting.

Conglomerates lose the defense contracts,

then they're back in the train business.

We understand,

but there's nothing we can do.

I'm getting squeezed. The conglomerates

come and take away the work at the top.

The minorities get the work at the bottom.

I'm squeezed in the middle.

Frank, take it easy.

You gotta wait till after the election.

After this election? The next election?

There's always an election.

You have to be patient, Frank.

Right. Well, you listen to me.

You gotta kill these minority quotas

or I'm out of business. Simple as that.

It's too hard now. We got this killing at the

yards. Who knows where that's gonna go?

- You know anything about that, Frank?

- No.

I do know if it were any of my guys,

I'd f***ing kill them.

We hear that cop's still alive, Frank.

He's in a coma.

If he pulls through, and he turns out to be

the business, all hell's gonna break loose.

The cops'd be all over us.

There's no way we could control it.

- Lo encontr?

- S. S.

What is it?

- It's me.

- Hey, Willie. What do you need?

I want to talk to you about something.

I'm very busy right now.

It's no big deal.

I can take care of it myself.

Right. Good. Good.

What I'm telling you here is that

my company's in serious f***ing trouble.

A transit worker is dead

and a police officer is in a coma

after a predawn attack

at the Sunnyside repair yards in Queens.

Police say OKfficer Gerald Rifkin

responded to an alarm call at the yards

just after one o'clock this morning.

Ten minutes later. Police backup units

discovered OKfficer Rifkin

face down and unconscious on the tracks.

The body of yardmaster Elliot Gourwitz

was also found nearby in his office.

He had bled to death

from a single stab wound.

Gourwitz had worked

for the MCT for 14 years.

Queens Borough President. Arthur

Mydanick. Was shocked at the incident.

I was very upset to hear about this.

We're not gonna stand for these attacks.

We're gonna put finding the assailants

top of our agenda.

OKfficer Rifkin

remains in critical condition.

And tonight.

Police are still without a suspect.

- Nice.

- I need milk.

- I'll get it, Aunt Val.

- Oh, thanks, honey.

You still go to Walbows?

Yeah. Sometimes.

- Leo, is that for you?

- I got it, Ma.

- What's going on?

- We gotta talk.

- The guys are waiting for us downstairs.

- I don't...

Willie! We're having some cake.

Come on in.

Thank you, Mrs. Handler.

I can't right now.

But Erica's here.

Don't you wanna come in? Come on.

Come on in.

Hey. I didn't know you were here.

Yep.

Hi.

- Hi, Mrs. Olchin.

- You look very handsome tonight.

Thank you.

- Excuse me. I gotta run.

- No, no, no. Willie, come here. Come here.

Ma...

Willie and me,

we talked about maybe getting married.

When did this happen?

We talked about it last night.

- What about school?

- I'm still gonna finish.

This is a very big step.

Don't you think we should discuss it?

Will, is that them?

Yeah.

No, thanks.

I've really gotta go.

I didn't know
