We Own the Night Page #5

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.

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?

Are you sure it wasn't your mouth?

But I tell you, he wouldn't be

running around here like a king...

...if his uncle didn't own the place,

that much I know.

I gotta get back to work.

All right. Nice talking to you. Bye.

I'm gonna go talk to Amada.

- All right, I'll see you later.

- I'll be downstairs.

I was just telling her how you

stuffed a pill up her nose.

Yeah, that's going

on the wall of shame.

See you later.

Hey, babe, listen.

I don't think you should be around

Vadim so much right now.

Why? You jealous?

No, I'm not jealous. Listen,

it's nothing for you to worry about.

Okay.

I wanna tell you about

my meeting with Buzhayev.

This is the police!

- This is a raid!

- Let's go.

- Police!

- F***.

Let's find this motherf***er right now.

Let's go.

Let's go! Let's go! Let's go!

Everybody get your hands

on your f***ing heads.

- Let go of me, man.

- Get the f*** down!

Empty your pockets!

Oh, jackpot.

- Get on the bar. Hands on the bar.

- Who authorized this?

Tell me who authorized it.

I have the right...

What's the matter? You on

something? Come here.

That's right. Hands on your

f***ing head and don't move!

- Hey, easy, easy.

- Toss them all, Pudge!

- Where is he?

- Get on... Get on the f***ing ground!

Give him the charcoal.

Open your f***ing mouth!

Who the f*** authorized this?

- I'm looking for Vadim Nezhinski.

- He must be on something.

Get the f***ing charcoal.

You do a little dust?

- Bring him the f*** down here!

- Get this piece of sh*t up.

- Where is he?

- He's up here, captain! We got him.

How about some charcoal

to absorb the toxins?

Clear some space here

for me, ladies, please.

- Turn him, he's gonna puke.

- Where's Nezhinski?

- Get this piece of sh*t up.

- Here we go.

- Give me some space here, please.

- Get the f*** out here.

- Who else?

- Don't you move.

- Turn around.

- Here we go.

What are you looking at?

Turn your head the other way.

Turn around.

- What is this?

- Stay down, stay down.

Tough guy, huh?

What, you want me

to double your money?

- Stay down.

- There it is.

It's doubled. How's that?

What are you looking at?

Turn around.

What else you got in here, huh,
