We Own the Night Page #4

Synopsis: Brooklyn, 1988. Crime is rife, especially drugs and drug violence. A Russian thug is building his heroin trade, while everyone laughs at the cops. Brothers have chosen different paths: Joe has followed his father Bert into New York's Finest; he's a rising star. Bobby, who uses his mother's maiden name, manages a club. Bobby too is on the rise: he has a new girlfriend and a green-light to develop a Manhattan club. Joe and Bert ask him to help with intelligence gathering; he declines. Then, Joe raids Bobby's club to arrest the Russian. From there, things spiral out of control: the Russian puts out a hit on Joe, personal losses mount, and Bobby's loyalties face the test.

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."
