Under Hellgate Bridge Page #5

These are

dangerous people.

You f*** up, and nobody's

gonna back you up on this.

There's a lot of cash

in this envelope.

Don't f*** up.

T rust me, Mike.

T rust me.

You want one?

They're good.

I guess not, huh?

Mitch-

it's time.

- Mitch!

- Yeah?

T eressa, come on,

T eressa, come on, stop.

Stop, stop, stop, stop!

- Hmm?

- Stop, stop, stop.

Stop, stop.

Mitch:
I'll take you

to dinner tomorrow.

Eddie?

Doreen:
Eddie?

Vincent. Sh*t.

Vinny, come on, Vinny!

Get the f***

outta here, Vince-o.

Eddie? Eddie?

Eddie!

Eddie!

Eddie.

Eddie... Ryan!

Ryan!

- Eddie.

- What happened?

He's been hurt bad.

- What happened?

- ... Me and my dope.

Go upstairs.

Eddie, sit up, sit up.

- Can you walk?

- I don't know.

- Let me see. Let me see!

- What am I gonna do?

Eddie, you gotta

go to the hospital.

- No! F***-

- All right, take it easy.

- We'll put you in bed.

- I'm scared, Ryan.

Get upstairs. Easy.

He's gonna kill me.

He's gonna f***ing

kill me, Ryan.

You know he never

stops talking about you.

He's got tons of stories about

when you guys were little.

You're his big brother.

He actually told

the whole neighborhood

that someday you'd come back

and take care of him and Jimmy.

He actually believed that.

For a while, at least.

Some story, right?

Yeah, some story.

It's been tough

on him with you gone.

He just really

sort of has me.

And we have our problems,

you know?

Sometimes we get

too f***ed up and stuff.

But at least

we have each other.

I'm glad you were

there for him, Doreen.

Eddie told me

when you guys were little,

it was you who first

turned them on...

You know?

Got them both high.

He said it was great.

It's hard to shake once

you've been in it for too long.

It's lucky for you-

you got out.

Y eah, I was lucky.

Wish I knew what

he was doing out in Brooklyn.

The only time he ever

went out there was with Vincent.

When they were doing some-

well, you know-

business.

Once like...

a month ago,

and then last week-

when Jimmy overdosed.

Eddie was with Jimmy

the day he died?

Yeah.

Eddie went with Vincent.

He was gonna hook up

with Jimmy.

- Then they were coming here.

- Doreen, this is important.

Are you sure that was

the day Jimmy died?

Yes.

I was waiting

here for them.

And then Eddie

showed up alone

and he seemed really

worried about something.

Then we both got high...

and passed out.

And later that night,

we heard that Jimmy died.

And it was just

a whole f***ed up day-

and everything.

Eddie didn't say anything about

what he was doing tonight?

No.

He was just

talking to Mike...

and then I followed him

out to Brooklyn.

I'll be back

in a little while.

If anything happens to Eddie,

call an ambulance

or get him to

a hospital. Okay?

Okay.

But where are you going?

To watch out

for my little brother.

Salvadore.

Charlie.

How's Uncle Dominic?

He's getting old.

But we're all getting old.

It feels like rain.

Maybe you can put in

a good word.

There are some things that

are simply out of our hands-

and there are some things

that aren't.

That's why you've come,

isn't it?

Your man,

he's out of control.

Come inside, we'll talk.

Hey...

don't start that sh*t.

Hey, we're closed.

You hear me?

We are closed,

come back tomorrow.

Look who it is.

What the f*** do you want?

It's all right, Mitch.

I'm sure Ryan is just looking

for a little action.

After all, this is

the best game in town.

I think it's time

for me to take a leak.

I'll be right back.

You just missed a group

of nice Latino gentlemen

who were here

looking for Eddie.

Apparently he was

a very bad boy tonight.

Very bad.

Not only did he rip off

a kilo of their pure heroin,

but he put

quite a few holes

in a number of their

most-valued employees, huh?

And you know how hard it is

to get good help these days.

But the best part is that

he stole 60 Gs from me.

60,000 of my

hard-earned money,

so he's suddenly

very popular.

We both know Eddie

didn't rip anybody off.

You'd be surprised at what

some people will do

for that much

money and drugs.

I mean, do you even

know what 60,000

and a kilo looks like, huh?

He doesn't have a clue.

He doesn't know his ass

from his elbow.

Go around

behind the bar.

Go on,

Mitch won't bite you.

Go on, take a look.

Take a look

in the ice maker.

Latinos aren't stupid.

They'll figure this out.

Maybe I'll point 'em

in the right direction.

I think it's a little

too late for that.

They're probably

over there right now,

sort of-

working things out.

Go on, call him up.

Call him up, a**hole.

You see, Eddie's probably

entertaining guests right now.

And you know how those Latinos

love to party, huh?

(growling)

I know you're hit.

I just don't know

if you're alive.

F*** you.

Good. Good,

you're still there.

That's more than

I can say for poor Mitch.

Vincent:
Mike?

Mike, are you all right?

Mike:
I'm all right.

Are you all right?

Yeah, I'm fine.

Listen to me,

go get Sal,

bring him here

so he can take care

of this little situation.

Then we'll pay

Eddie a visit,

see if he's still

in one piece.

Mike:

Vincent? Vincent!

Mike, just go.

Just go,

do what I tell you.

Looks like we got ourselves

a little Mexican stand-off here.

You're hit. I'm hit.

And you got a gun,

I got a gun.

I can't get at you

and you can't get at me.

I think there's three

things you're missing.

What's that,

pretty boy?

First of all, I think you're hurt

a lot worse than I am.

In fact, I think

you're bleeding to death.

You can't get to your feet,

otherwise you'd have

been over the top

of this bar already.

And what's number two?

I got your kilo

and 60 grand.

Y eah sure,

till Sal gets here.

And what's three?

I got a telephone.

Oh, great.

Let's order

some pizza, huh?

How many we're gonna get

for 60,000, you dumb f***?

Carla, it's me.

Carla, hang up the phone!

Yeah, he's here.

You wanna talk to him?

- Vinny, wanna talk to Carla?

- F*** you.

Vinny's in

one of his moods.

I'll tell you.

I'll tell you-

I'll tell you

I love you.

I love you.

Yeah. What's your answer?

I know, baby, so am I.

So am I.

Come on now.

Go ahead, you-

you tell me.

You hear that, you a**hole,

she loves me.

Now listen you-

you wake up-

wake up Tyler and-

and take nothing.

You just- put on your coats

and you get in a cab

and meet me on the corner of

Eddie's block, understand?

Vincent:
I'll

f***ing kill you.

I'll kill you both.

I'll find you.

And then I'll kill you.

I'll kill all...

I'll kill both of you.

I could kill you

right where you lay.

You better do it.

You better f***ing do it.

Pray to God that I don't

get up off this floor, Ryan.

You better

go to that priest,

and pray to him

that I don't get up.

You know,

next time I see Father,

I am gonna thank him-

because he told me

some things.

He told me all about you-

and Eddie and Jimmy-

and some things about

Carla you don't even know.

That's when I realized there's
