The Yards Page #5

at the Sunnyside rail yards in Queens.

Has recovered.

Tonight he has given police their first lead

in their search for his assailant

and the killer of an MCT yardmaster.

After reviewing police mug books.

Rifkin positively identified 24-year-old

ex-convict Leo Handler as his assailant.

Although police believe

Handler may have fled the state.

They are asking anyone with

any information as to his whereabouts

to contact them immediately.

Where were you

when the lights went out?

Hello?

It's me. Will.

Leo.

Where are you? You OK?

They're blaming me for things

I didn't do, for everything.

That ain't right.

I can't go nowhere or talk to nobody.

I'm sorry.

There's nothing I can do right now.

Well, when can I come back?

Leo... you gotta stay away

for a little longer. OKK?

How's my mother? I want to call her,

but they probably got the phones tapped.

Did you see her?

Willie?

Yeah, I did.

Is she OK?

- She's gonna be all right.

- What? What's wrong?

No, nothing.

The family's with her and she's OK.

Hey.

- I can hear in your f***ing voice.

- No, listen.

Leo, listen. Calm down, all right?

Look, I can't talk right now,

but call me back in a coupla weeks.

And just know that Frank's trying

to work everything out, OK?

Leo? Are you there?

Yeah, all right.

Is your mother up there?

What are you doing here?

You wanna get caught?

The police were here.

I know.

I've been watching them come and go.

I'm gonna go around the back.

Let me in.

Go ahead.

I need to see her.

Ma.

Ma.

You well?

How are you feeling?

I've just come by

to see how you're doing.

Ma...

I know I'm not the son you wanted.

I promised myself that I would do

whatever I could to fit in.

What happened before,

I know I did wrong.

But I did not do

what they're saying that I did.

I know...

I know that I'll never

be able to redeem myself.

But I just wanted you to know...

it wasn't me, Ma.

I'm leaving now.

I just wanted to see how she was doing.

Leo.

Was Willie with you?

At the yards?

It wasn't him, was it?

Hey.

You gotta be strong now.

I know you guys have plans.

We've just gotta try to find

a way through this.

We're gonna get through this, OK?

Come on.

- Thanks for looking after her.

- Yeah.

I'll come back tomorrow.

Get the doctor to come see her, OK?

Mr. Olchin, sorry to interrupt your meeting.

Detective Tommasino.

- Detective Bulette.

- What can I do for you?

We'd like you to look at this.

We wanna ask you a few questions.

- Oh, him, yeah.

- Do you know where he is?

I only met him a coupla times.

Wife says he's a troubled kid.

- So he's not in your employ?

- No.

Your secretary said

he came by to see you.

Yeah, right. He was looking for a job,

but I didn't have anything for him.

You will contact us

if you gain additional information?

- Absolutely, absolutely, yes.

- Thank you for your time.

- Thank you.

- Thanks.

Seymour. What'd you find out?

There's a hearing

about that yardmaster who got killed.

There's something else too, Frank.

I talked to the division captain last night.

He says there's no way.

Cop is straight. There's no chance

he's gonna go under the table.

Jesus Christ,

can't Mydanick help us out here?

What do you mean, "help"?

The kid's a murderer.

What'd the cops say to you?

What? What do you think?

They're looking for him.

Maybe you should think

about getting him before they do.

- What?

- Make sure he don't turn up.

What are we talking

about here, Seymour?

What do you think I am?

I'm just saying this is a real priority

for the borough president right here.

He doesn't want us

to all end up like Donnie Mannis.

Yeah, well.

You guys are gonna just have to

think of something else.

I'm could never do nothing like that.

The f***ing kid is in my family.

Make sure he don't turn up.

- Is there anything more we can do?

- I'm gonna be over at the Johnson.

Is there a number?

I need to get your number.

- Take care.

- Thanks.

Hi, Mrs. Olchin.

Hey, sweetheart.

Your brother said you'd be here.

I've been calling you.

Ma.

I'll go inside.

Where you been?

In here.

I know that.

- How come you don't call me back?

- There's just a lot going on right now.

Has your mother

got a problem with me?

I don't know. No.

I saw the way she looked at you when

you told her we were gonna get married.

I think you should go.

I wanna talk to you.

I don't have anything to say.

Erica.

Is... is this 'cause of

what happened with Leo? 'Cause...

- I'm going back inside now.

- No, Erica, wait. I wanna talk to you.

Erica...

Erica!

I got a hearing coming up

with the... with the city.

It'd be nice if you came with me

for a little support.

OK.

How's your sister?

What's the matter, honey?

I saw Leo tonight.

Outside the apartment.

You saw Leo tonight.

He's gonna wind up

getting all of us into trouble.

You told me

he wasn't coming back.

That was just the other night.

- He was there?

- Yeah. He was there.

We gotta deal with it right now.

Well, what do you want me to do?

My wife is, uh...

very upset.

I mean, Erica's been spending

a lot of time over there with Leo.

You know she doesn't

like 'em being together,

because of what happened

between the two of 'em.

What do you mean?

You don't know?

She caught 'em together

when they were 15.

I never knew that.

I found some letters from him to her,

but I never thought that...

I don't know.

I wish there was some way

to take care of this.

What are you doing here?

Willie?

I just came by to see my mother.

To see your mother?

You're not supposed to be here.

He went to see

if it was safe to leave.

Shut up.

Why'd you come back?

You f***ed everything up.

Honey, just let him...

F***!

What the f*** is wrong with you?

Let me go.

F***!

You f***ing...

Come on!

- Come on, bro.

- F*** you.

Come on.

Little f***er!

F***.

It's over, Will. No more.

You f***ed me, Will.

You f***ed me.

Shh.

Shh.

Frank?

Jesus! What happened to you?

Did your mother see you like that?

I know I haven't always given you

as much respect as maybe I should have.

And I haven't given you a chance

to be a father to me and my brother.

And I'm sorry.

'Cause I know how much

that means to you, how hard you've tried.

But I hope you can forgive me,

'cause it's been hard for me too.

I loved my father very much.

And we were all very close as a family.

That's why I'm asking you now...

Leo needs your help.

He wants to see you.

I told him you would.

Please.

Please.

Where is he?

I could take you.

Go out to the car.

Leo?

Yeah, over here.

You know, you've been causing me a lot

of difficulty. Policemen coming to see me.

I need you to help me.

What is it you think I can do?

I don't know. Maybe you could talk

to some of them people you know,

'cause I didn't kill anybody.

Do you have any idea who did?

I...

I wish I could help you, Leo.

I-I really do.

But, uh, I gotta do what I can to protect

what I've built, you know, for my family.
