The Yards Page #7

Synopsis: In the rail yards of Queens, contractors repair and rebuild the city's subway cars. These contracts are lucrative, so graft and corruption are rife. When Leo Handler gets out of prison, he finds his aunt married to Frank Olchin, one of the big contractors; he's battling with a minority-owned firm for contracts. Willie Gutierrez, Leo's best friend, is Frank's bag man and heads a crew of midnight saboteurs who ruin the work of the Puerto Rican-owned firm. Leo needs a job, so Willie pays him to be his back-up. Then things go badly wrong one night, a cop IDs Leo, and everyone now wants him out of the picture. Besides his ailing mom and his cousin Erica, to whom can Leo turn?

but your showing up here tonight

indicates confidence in our system.

Our internal investigation,

which will be aired next week,

will show the claims

of concerned citizens -

as well as the claims

of some of our media -

are totally unfounded.

Our investigation concludes

the suspect that we have

been following for some time

should be cleared of all charges.

Please.

Ladies and gentlemen, please.

Excuse me, sir. We have

a report of an alarm at this location.

Can I see your license, registration

and insurance card, please?

Sir?

Get outta the car.

Get outta the car!

- Go call for backup. Get backup.

- Got it.

What were you doing in there,

huh? Got anything on you?

As I was saying. Our report.

Which will be made public next week.

Will show that we have a great deal of

violence and vandalism in our subways.

We have made an unfailing commitment

to our public transportation systems.

We cannot let the violence of a few of these

hooligans tear the fabric of our great city.

Every one of our hearts

goes out to the family...

- Mr. Olchin?

- His murder is a true tragedy.

We have shown time and time again

that we can come together.

As I look around the room this evening,

I see that we...

Mr. And Mrs. Olchin,

could you come with us, please?

It's about your daughter.

We're sorry.

She was found in your house.

She was deceased.

I'm very sorry.

I'm really sorry, ma'am.

Ma!

Ladies and gentlemen,

just take your seats, please.

Ladies and gentlemen, please.

Leo.

Look, uh...

I just want to tell you

you got nothing to worry about,

'cause, well, I got friends...

and we're gonna make sure

this animal gets what he deserves.

And, uh...

in the future...

you know, whatever you need.

Coming back inside?

You know, your mother needs you.

Come on.
