We Own the Night Page #2

Why are you coming to me?

Why...? Why is this my problem?

The whole city's falling apart. Don't

you have any sense of responsibility?

Let me think.

No. No, not really. I don't.

I got enough f***ing problems, Joe.

The streets are

in f***ing chaos, Bobby.

- Our guys are dropping like flies.

- Joseph, come on. l...

Joseph, you go downstairs.

Let me talk to him, all right?

- Yeah, thanks for coming.

- It's always a pleasure. Thank you.

You better be careful out there

the next couple weeks.

- What's that mean?

- You know.

- Joseph.

- Fine, Pop. You f***ing deal with him.

- Take care, Bobby.

- Yeah.

Move over. Move over.

Been a long time

since we've seen you.

Your brother says you don't

answer the phone anymore.

I've been busy, Pop.

That's all.

Yeah?

What's going on with you?

You can't talk?

I don't know.

You what?

Things are all right.

- You're all right?

- Yeah.

Yeah?

You know, I could've gotten you

a good job with us, a safe job.

If you would have asked.

If you'd been around.

I got a job. I got a job. A good job.

That's the whole point

of this conversation we had.

That's why your brother was here,

because of this club.

Your brother says that you've been

using your mother's name these days.

Yeah, just for the business.

You know, it's easy.

"Bobby Green"?

Well, people can pronounce it,

you know?

That Puerto Rican you brought.

She been hooking you up?

- What do you mean?

- Come on, I can smell it on you.

You keep laughing.

Your mother, rest in peace,

I think she was too easy on you.

All right.

I gotta go, Pop.

Bobby, let me tell you something.

Sooner or later,

either you're gonna be with us...

...or you're gonna be

with the drug dealers.

This is like a war out there.

Now, do you understand that?

Do you?

I'll see you.

Careful.

It's getting late. How are

the kids doing? They tired yet?

They're always tired. They worry

about you when you're out at night.

- Baby, sit up straight.

- Baby, do me a favor.

Don't start, all right?

Excuse me, everybody.

Can I have your attention, please?

Hi, my name is Deputy Commissioner

Spiro Giavannis...

...and we're here this holiday season

to honor one of our new leaders...

Let's get out of here...

...and go party with Jumbo.

- Why?

Baby, your family don't like me,

I don't care. I'm here for you, okay?

F*** them. Let's go. It's boring.

- They're stiffs. Yeah.

- Really?

I'm sure the chief would like

to say a few words.

So I'd like to bring him

up here now. Chief?

Thank you. Thank you very much.

Yeah, chief.

You know, I used to tell my kids,

"Work first, play later."

And my son Joseph

really took that to heart.

Been a real fighter over the years.

He overcome the dyslexia...

...and eventually wound up

graduating John Jay as salutatorian.

And hey...

I'm very proud here tonight.

I wanna thank you all for coming.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Before I say anything else...

...one of our brothers was killed

in the line of duty last night.

Edward Conlon was gunned down...

...serving a warrant

on Northern Boulevard.

Hey. Come here.

The clock is about to strike 11.

I thought we might be able to give

a moment of silence to remember.

- Come on, get over here.

- Which one?

Come on, I'm meeting with Buzhayev

tonight. Which one? This one?

That one. Hey, baby.

- I got good news.

- Yeah?

So I talked to my mom yesterday.

She's feeling better.

So I can move in whenever I want.

Really?

- Don't joke with me.

- I'm not.

I like it. I like it.

It's official. You get your side

of the bed, I get mine.

Seriously, it's great news.

- Hey, I got you something.

- What?

You've been working so hard lately.

- What is it?

- Open it up.

- Now?

- Go ahead, open it.

It's nice.

I like it.

Thank you.

- I love you so much.

- I love you too, babe.

We'll have a lot of kids...

...big house.

- Yeah?

Can we get big kids

and a lot of houses?

Hey, Bobby! Get your ass out here.

It's probably Jumbo. Come on, let's

go hang out with them for a minute.

Everybody, the life of the party

is here.

Hey, Falsetti,

you get what we wanted?

Absolutely. I got a little of

what everybody asked for here.

I got uppers, I got downers.

Hash, mescaline, some blow.

The troops require sustenance.

Go, go, go!

You gotta get dressed.

You gotta get dressed.

Come on, get dressed.

You can't be late

for the boss, baby.

- Bobby!

- Well, hello, how are you?

I thought you could ride. Not riding

so good. You don't ride bareback?

How are you?

- Bobby.

- You wouldn't believe it.

It's 40 degrees out, line's halfway

around the block. It's unbelievable.

I'll grab something in a second,

thank you.

Take kids in the other room.

Don't worry, kids.

You will see Grandpa on Tuesday

to ride the horses.

Not on the furs!

- Bobby.

- Pop.

- Have a seat.

- Why? What'd I miss?

Listen, we're thinking

about expanding.

Maybe we'll open another spot

next year across from Brighton.

- I like it.

- Yeah, good.

And we think you'll run it

and we'll do it exactly like here.

- Could be good.

- Good?

Good, yeah. Listen...

...I've been thinking. If you wanna

open another spot, I mean...

...why not try Manhattan?

- Manhattan's very expensive.

Depends on where you go.

I mean, you get in there now,

get something for cheap.

I'm talking a big space,

a big warehouse.

You get different levels going.

We could do something different

on each floor.

Like one floor could be rock 'n' roll.

Then you do another floor,

you got disco. Something like that.

He's got so many ideas!

And don't let your hair-brained

nephew Vadim screw it up!

It's a lot of money, Papa.

Your fur business can

support that right now?

My son-in-law, he worries people

take advantage of me.

I understand that.

But I think we can do something

special and different.

Worst-case scenario,

it's a great investment.

I mean, I think it's worth looking into.

All right.

So bring some details.

We'll figure out the numbers.

- Yeah?

- Okay?

Good.

I love you.

Hey, who is this?

You are in the presence

of the future king of New York.

The future king?

What are you talking about?

Listen, nothing's definite

so don't say anything.

I was just with Mr. Buzhayev.

He's talking about opening

another spot in Manhattan.

He wants me to run it.

I want you, my brother, to be a host.

Of course! I'm a people person.

That's my specialty.

- I know.

- My f***ing man.

I'm the "hoster" with the "moster."

That's beautiful news, Bob.

Beautiful.

Now you'll finally be getting me

all the women I deserve.

What's Amada doing

at Vadim's table?

She's doing what she's supposed

to do. She's charming the customers.

- What do you hear about him, Jumbo?

- I don't know what I hear.

- I hear stories.

- You hear stories. Like what?

Stories.

Like last year, one of his guys

was gonna rat him out.

Cops found his head

on Brighton Avenue.

- F***ing dick was in his mouth.

- Sure it wasn't your dick?
