The Yards Page #4

we were going to get into this now.

I think we should discuss this.

Hey, Will, they're waiting.

Sorry.

Let's go.

Leo...

I got a call from Weltec.

That guy Hector.

They heard about what happened.

They wanna offer me protection

if I come forward and talk to their lawyers.

They'd do anything

to get something on Frank.

Don't you f***ing turn on me, Willie.

Of course not.

I hung up on the f***ing guy.

I'm just saying

that we gotta stay tight here.

You gotta listen

to what the guys have to say.

Just listen to what they have to say.

Because we're in a very tough situation.

- What's up, Todd? What's going on?

- Take a seat in the back.

That cop you hit.

He's a big f***ing problem for us.

If he wakes up. We're all in trouble.

We don't know what you might do

to stay out of jail.

- I wouldn't f*** you.

- You get caught now and it's life for you.

Will, you know I wouldn't do that.

What happened? I thought

you were going to talk to Frank.

Frank's got no pull with the police.

He's on the fourth floor,

Booth Memorial. Four beds to a room.

Todd's friend's an orderly.

He works the night shift.

He'll get you in.

They got one officer

in front of the ward, that's it.

He's on an eight-hour shift.

Wait till he takes a leak,

then you go inside.

That guy's a f***ing cop.

Nobody wants us, Leo.

It's the only thing we can do.

I don't know if I can do this.

Well, you think about it,

'cause the only thing that cop saw was you.

If you can't take care of this for us,

we gotta take care of it ourselves.

We are not going after that f***ing cop,

you understand?

All right. You guys wait here.

Todd's gonna talk to his guy.

Come on.

Leo.

If anything happens...

if anything goes wrong...

then you run.

And you get the f*** out of the city.

I'll look in on your mother.

I feel like I'm gonna f***ing die.

Come on, man.

Break's over soon.

Don't you f***ing back out.

Well, now, how are we feeling?

We called your family, Jerry.

They're on their way down.

You were out cold there

for a while.

Just rest.

- What happened?

- Goddamn motherf***er ran away!

Your friend is f***ing dead, Willie.

You hear me? He's f***ing dead.

- What's wrong?

- He didn't come home last night.

- What happened?

- I don't know.

He missed his parole meeting

this morning. They're looking for him.

They said he's in violation.

He's in violation.

Sit down. Calm down.

What if... what if something happened?

Val, listen to me. You're my sister, I love

you, and you can't let this keep killing you.

You hear me?

Hm?

OK, gentlemen. Right in here.

All the way down the tracks.

Take your pictures of our circuit layouts

from the train signal boxes.

Build them to the specs.

Preference will be given to minority

companies for a portion of these contracts.

- Think about what I said?

- Get off.

Pendejo.

- You wanna help us out a little here?

- I wouldn't even bother with a bid on this.

- What?

- Word come from the inspector general.

The cop that was hit went through

the books and come up with a suspect.

It's your nephew.

Sorry I have to be the one to tell you.

- You're gonna get caught.

- Shut the f*** up.

You'll be the first one to go.

Goddammit!

Why didn't you tell me?

- We were gonna handle it on our own.

- On your own? You f***ing idiot.

This could be devastating for us.

If the borough connects us to it,

we're out of business -

and we could all go to jail.

I should never have let him

go down there with you.

It's gonna be all right. Leo's gone.

Nobody knows he was working for us.

They're not gonna stop investigating.

What, do you think there's a statute

of limitations for a murder case?

Who killed the yardmaster?

Was it Leo?

I understand.

You're trying to protect your friend.

Frank, we have to distance ourselves

from your nephew,

issue a denial to say

that he never worked here.

I'll talk to the accountants,

make sure they didn't file any W-2s.

I'll also put out a statement that we're all

very saddened by the turn of events, etc.

Please, none of that's gonna hold.

At some point it's gonna lead back to us.

What we gotta do is talk to this cop,

see what it'll take to make him

remember things differently.

Tonight's the borough president's party.

I'll talk to Seymour,

see if it's something we could pursue.

I thought I could help.

I thought I was gonna help him.

I'm sorry.

- What, are we waiting for them?

- We're always waiting for them.

- Hello?

- Hey, Bernie.

- Hey.

- How you doing?

- You ready?

- Yeah, we'll be right down.

Right down?

- What's the problem?

- Is Willie downstairs?

Yeah.

Well?

- They're thinking of getting married.

- I don't wanna talk about it with him here.

He's not my father.

Your mother looks really upset.

Don't you think

you should discuss it with her?

- Get the f*** out of my room.

- Hey.

It's all right.

Listen, you do what you wanna do.

You wanna upset your mother,

go ahead.

You wanna run into this thing

without thinking about it, you do that.

But get ready.

Get ready.

Don't you know what he does for Frank?

What?

How do you think he gets the money

for all the things he buys you?

For that car of his?

Frank won't tell me about it, but I'm

beginning to get an idea of what goes on.

I don't know what

you're talking about, Ma.

Whatever it is he's doing,

your cousin had to go away because of it.

I talked to my sister this morning.

She said...

he's in real trouble.

Thank you.

Sweetie?

How are you?

Let's wish Arthur happy birthday.

Yes. You wanna come?

You've said it enough, have you?

Here he is.

Hey, Mani.

Good to see you. Good.

Arthur.

I don't think he heard you.

They got some nice

roast beef over there.

Why don't you go sit down

and I'll join you in a minute?

All right.

What is this? I say hello to Arthur,

he gives me the cold shoulder.

He can't be seen with you right now.

He embarrassed me. You know how much

money I give to his f***ing campaign.

Just wait till things calm down a little bit,

all right?

Look, what do you know about this cop?

The one that's giving us all the hassle.

- He's pretty sure about the suspect.

- Well, how sure?

I don't know.

What are you trying to say?

Well, I thought maybe

we could create a little fund for him.

You know, he was hit bad

and maybe he don't remember so good.

- I could do a little digging.

- Oh, good. You do that.

'Cause we wanna help him out,

before this investigation

gets completely outta hand.

Don't move!

Warrant service.

We're looking for your son. Is he here?

- What are you doing?

- We got a warrant for his arrest.

Ma'am, what are you doing?

You all right?

- Let me know when you're clear.

- He's not here. Please.

- Over here, Joe!

- Ma'am.

- She's having chest pains.

- Close the door now. Come on.

Checking for weapons.

She's having problems.

Call a paramedic.

OKfficer Gerald Rifkin

will soon be on his way home.
