[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO.
IT'S ME. IT'S DONE.
I NEED YOU IN BROOKLYN.
AN IRANIAN JEWELER IS GIVING ME PROBLEMS.
HE NEEDS TO DISAPPEAR.
HE'S HERE IN LITTLE ODESSA.
BROOKLYN'S NO GOOD FOR ME. YOU KNOW THAT.
YOU OWE US A DEBT. IT'S IMPORTANT.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
DON'T YOU WANT TO SEE THE OLD NEIGHBORHOOD AGAIN?
I'LL CALL YOU WHEN I GET THERE.
I'M TAKING YOU IN, LEE.
NOT A CHANCE.
COME ON OUT.
OR DO I HAVE TO COME IN AND GET YOU?
THAT'S THE WHOLE STORY, ARCH. ALL OF IT.
YOU DIDN'T KILL HIM.
I DID.
A LONG TIME AGO.
THE DAY I LOOKED AWAY AND HOPED HE'D CHANGE.
I'LL HAVE TO TELL JEN.
I'D LIKE TO TELL HER MYSELF.
[SOUND TRACK SLOWS DOWN]
SO IS THAT IT?
THAT'S IT.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
WHAT?
HUH?
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
IT'S ME, MOM.
[ROCK MUSIC PLAYS]
HEY.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
THAT WILL KILL YOU.
DID YOU GET THE SYRUP?
HMM?
I FORGOT. SORRY.
HOW IS MAMA?
IS SHE ALL RIGHT?
YOU SHOULDN'T SMOKE.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
SHIT.
WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING HERE?
WAKE UP. WAKE UP.
WHAT?
GET OUT OF THE CAR.
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
GET OUT OF THE CAR.
SON OF A BITCH.
HI.
YOU'RE LATE.
I KNOW. I WAS WITH MA.
I'M GOING TO BE GONE FOR A WHILE, ALL RIGHT?
O.K.
FINISH COUNTING THE PENNIES
AND PUT THEM IN THE BOX.
HEY.
WHAT IS IT?
IS HE GONE?
YEAH.
IF I LET YOU IN ON SOMETHING,
PROMISE TO KEEP IT A SECRET?
SURE.
DON'T SAY SURE. THIS IS BIG.
O.K.
WHAT IS IT?
I CAN'T TELL YOU.
COME ON. YOU CAN'T SAY THAT.
YEAH? IT'S GOING TO COST YOU.
HOW MUCH?
THOSE.
THE CIGARETTES.
THOSE? O.K., HOW ABOUT ONE?
NO. TWO CARTONS EVERY WEEK.
FINE, FINE, MAN. WHAT IS IT?
YOU NEVER HEARD THIS FROM ME, UNDERSTOOD?
YOU TELL ANYBODY, YOU GO TO THE DUMP.
I KNOW. WHAT IS IT?
YOUR BROTHER'S HERE IN BROOKLYN.
WHERE IS HE?
I SAW HIM GO INTO THE METROPOLE IN QUEENS.
THAT'S ALL I CAN SAY, KID.
[IRINA] OH!
[IRINA RAVING INCOHERENTLY IN RUSSIAN]
OH!
SHH. SHH. SHH.
GO TO BED. GO BACK TO BED.
CLOSE THE DOOR.
JOSH.
JOSH, HEY.
IT'S ME.
GET OUT OF HERE.
I THOUGHT WE'D MEET LATER.
IT'S NOT SAFE.
THEN WE'LL MEET LATER SOMEWHERE ELSE.
CAN'T DO THAT. I'M SORRY.
YOU LOOK GOOD, THOUGH. YOU'RE GROWING.
MA'S GOING TO DIE. SHE'S GOT A BRAIN TUMOR.
DOES POP STILL WORK THE STAND?
YEAH.
BE UNDER THE BOARDWALK.
NEAR NATHAN'S.
TOMORROW AT 4:00.
O.K.
COME HERE.
HOW'D YOU KNOW I WAS HERE?
I WON'T DO ANYTHING. JUST TELL ME.
SASHA ARONOV TOLD ME.
NOBODY CAN KNOW I'M HERE.
NOT YOUR FRIENDS, NOT OUR RELATIVES, NOBODY.
DON'T DISCUSS IT WITH SASHA OR ANYBODY ELSE, O.K.?
O.K.
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
FUCKING MICKEY MOUSE.
WHO'D YOU TELL ABOUT ME?
NOBODY.
DON'T INSULT ME, OR I'LL CUT IT OFF.
I TOLD YOUR BROTHER AND THE GUYS.
I TOLD VICTOR AND YURI. THEY WON'T SAY ANYTHING.
YURI STILL RUN THE STATION?
YOU GOING THERE NOW?
GET UP!
GET THE FUCK UP!
LET'S GO.
VOLKOFF'S LOOKING FOR YOU.
I KNOW THAT.
THIS ASSHOLE PICKED THE WRONG FUCKING TIME
TO BE HANGING AROUND MY HOUSE.
BAD FUCKING LUCK.
VOLKOFF'S RUKOVODSTVONOW.
HE WANTS YOU BAD.
COMES AROUND ALL THE TIME
ASKING WHERE YOU ARE.
WE GOT A PROBLEM.
YOU ALL KNOW I'M HERE, AND THAT'S A PROBLEM.
WE'RE GOING TO WORK TOGETHER.
DON'T WORRY. I GOT SOME MONEY FOR YOU.
WHAT IF WE DON'T WANT TO HELP?
[IRINA] REUBEN?
HEY...
MA.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
I DON'T HAVE MUCH TO SAY.
YOU WERE ALWAYS SO QUIET,
SO INTROVERTED.
YOU DON'T GO OUT WITH GIRLS?
NONE OF 'EM WILL GO OUT WITH ME.
OH, NO. YOU MUSTN'T SAY THAT.
WHY? DON'T SAY THAT.
OH, YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL.
YOU THINK I'M BEAUTIFUL.
YES.
STOP IT!
REUBEN, YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
NOTHING.
I KNOW. I LOVE YOU, TOO.
MA, DOES IT HURT?
HEY.
IT'S FUCKING...
IT'S FUCKING COLD OUT HERE.
YOU GONNA TELL ME ABOUT MA?
SHE GOT SICK MAYBE FIVE MONTHS AGO.
WHAT HAPPENED?
SHE HAD SOME HEADACHES.
THEY SAID SHE'D BE DEAD BY NOW.
FROM NATHAN'S.
YOU BAR MITZVAHED?
YEAH.
YOU GET A LOT OF MONEY?
NOT TOO MUCH.
YOU CAN MAKE LOTS OF MONEY FROM THOSE THINGS.
FRIENDS BRING YOU MONEY. RELATIVES.
YOU GOT FRIENDS?
THEY'RE SHVARTZES.
HOW ABOUT THE GIRLS?
THEY'RE SHVARTZTOO.
POP SAYS NOT TO HANG WITH THEM.
I WANT TO COME HOME AND SEE MA.
THEY THINK YOU'RE DEAD.
WHAT'D YOU DO?
I DID SOME THINGS.
THERE'S A LOT OF RUMORS.
BIGGEST KILLER IN THE WORLD'S A RUMOR.
BROOKLYN SHOULD BE CALLED RUMORS.
HOW YOU DOING? YOU O.K.?
MM-HMM.
WE'LL DO SOMETHING THIS WEEK.
O.K., LET'S GO.
LET'S GO HOME NOW.
I'LL RACE YOU.
DON'T WORRY. SHE DOESN'T LOOK SO BAD.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
IT'S NO BIG DEAL. COME ON.
DID YOU LET HIM IN?
YOU GUESS WHAT I GOT? IS THAT IT?
JOSH...
DON'T YOU HIT HIM.
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE.
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, OR YOU'LL GET BELTED.
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!
FUCK YOU!
GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!
I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU,
YOU FUCKING LAY A HAND ON ME!
GET OUT.
GET OUT,
I SAID!
MURDERER.
OUT!
YOU GO TO YOUR ROOM!
ALLA SHUSTERVICH.
IT'S JOSHUA SHAPIRA.
WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME?
I WANTED TO SEE YOU.
BUT I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING.
I KNOW THAT.
HOW YOU DOING?
I'M GOING TO GO HOME NOW.
I HEARD ABOUT YOUR POP.
I'M SORRY.
I HEARD ABOUT YOU.
CAN'T COME HERE ANYMORE, IF THAT'S WHAT YOU MEAN.
THEN WHY ARE YOU HERE?
I'M LEAVING SOON.
I WANTED TO SEE EVERYTHING.
ALEXA TOLD ME ABOUT YOU.
SHE SAID YOU LEFT
BECAUSE OF BORIS VOLKOFF.
YOU BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH.
YOU KNOW IF MR. BORIS DON'T LIKE SOMEBODY,
HE CAN KEEP THEM AWAY.
SO YOU DIDN'T DO ANYTHING?
WELL, DON'T GO TELLING PEOPLE I'M HERE.
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT I UNDERSTAND,
'CAUSE HERE I AM.
I CAN'T TALK TO ANYBODY, DO ANYTHING.
YOU KNOW?
HOPE I SEE YOU AGAIN.
ANYWAY, YOU CAN GO HOME NOW.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
HELLO?
REUBEN?
YEAH?
IT'S JOSHUA.
HEY.
BE HOME AT 10:00.
WE'LL GO TO A MOVIE, O.K.?
O.K.
YOU LIKE THE MOVIES?
YEAH. WHAT'RE WE SEEING?
WHATEVER. BE HOME AT 10:00.
GOOD-BYE.
HE WAS MAKING A CALL AT THE PHONE BOOTH
WHEN THE MICE FOUND HIM.
TO THE HEAD.
NO ONE SAW IT.
NO ONE SAW IT HAPPEN.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHO'D WANT TO DO THIS.
REUBEN.
MY NAME IS ALLA. YOU REMEMBER ME?
I WAS FRIENDS WITH SASHA.
YEAH.
WE HAVE TO TALK.
YOUR BROTHER CAME TO SEE ME. HAVE YOU SEEN HIM?
I NEED TO TALK TO HIM.
YOU LIKE MOVIES?
YEAH.
MEET US AT 3rd AND BRIGHTON.
10:00.
O.K.
O.K. SEE YOU.
I NEED IT, MAN.
I DON'T HAVE YOUR FUCKING LEG.
COME ON. GIVE ME MY LEG.
HE WANTS TO MAKE KISSY-KISSY.
SHUT UP. I'M DEALING WITH THIS CRAZY MAN.
I CAN'T HOP AROUND LIKE THIS.
I DON'T HAVE YOUR LEG.
WOULD YOU PLEASE GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE?
YOU GOT MY LEG.
HE'S GOT MY LEG.
FUCKING NUT.
OUR MAN IS AHMAD PAHLEVI.
A REAL CAMEL JOCKEY.
WE HEARD ABOUT HIM.
HE'LL BE TOUGH. THE MICE LOVE HIM.
SO?
SO HE'S UNTOUCHABLE.
THE COPS ARE PUSSYCATS.
YOU GUYS KNOW THAT.
THIS GUY IS NOTHING BUT SOME DUMB STUKATCH.
WE MAKE HIM GO BYE-BYE,
YOU'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
HE'S RATTED ON SO MANY PEOPLE,
EVERY ASSHOLE IN THE CITY, INCLUDING THE MAYOR,
WILL THINK THE ITALIANS OR T SHVARTZES
EMPTY THE WHOLE ROUND INTO HIS HEAD,
IT'S BYE-BYE, AYATOLLAH.
YOU'LL NEED GUNS. YOU GOT GUNS?
I CAN GET 'EM.
MR. BORIS, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.
KEEP 'EM SMALL.
SPECIALS. THROWAWAYS.
IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE VOLKOFF FINDS OUT I'M HERE.
I THINK ONE OF HIS GUYS RECOGNIZED ME.
HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?
'CAUSE HE SEES EVERYTHING.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GUY THAT SAW YOU?
YOU WON'T BE SEEING HIM NO MORE.
THIS WAS IN THE GARAGE.
REUBEN! REUBEN!
WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
DON'T HAVE ANY HOMEWORK?
NO. I FINISHED IT.
ARE YOU SURE?
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
WHAT?
YOU SHOULD DO YOUR HOMEWORK.
OTHERWISE, YOU'LL END UP...
LIKE THE DUMB GOYIM IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
I JUST TOLD YOU I FINISHED IT.
WELL, THEN, GO. GO HOME AND READ.
LET'S GO.
I DON'T WANT TO GO.
[HORN HONKS]
GOT TO GO GET THIS PERSON.
WHAT THE FUCK YOU TALKING ABOUT?
ALLA SHUSTERVICH.
SHE SAID SHE SAW YOU.
SHE WANTS TO SEE YOU.
I DIDN'T TELL HER WHERE YOU WERE.
I SAID WE'D PICK HER UP.
WHAT?
WHERE WE GOING?
3rd AND BRIGHTON.
[JOSHUA] GET IN. HURRY UP.
WHERE WE GOING?
WE'RE GONNA SEE A MOVIE.
MY MOM THINKS I'M COMING BACK EARLY.
HOW OLD ARE YOU? 22.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WENT OUT?
I DON'T KNOW.
GET IN.
PICK A MOVIE.
[REUBEN] WHAT MOVIE?
LOOK IN THE PAPER.
JUST MAKE SURE IT'S IN THE CITY.
[ALLA] CAN I SMOKE IN HERE?
[WOMAN] IT'S FREDDY. HE'S HERE.
I HEARD HIM.
[MAN] FREDDY IS DEAD,
BURIED, AND CONSECRATED.
WE WON, REMEMBER?
HE'S COMING BACK FOR US.
[MAN] THE KID'S RIGHT.
FREDDY KRUEGER'S HISTORY.
COME HERE.
TONY!
OH, GOD. I THOUGHT FOR A MINUTE--
WHAT?
IS JANE MISSING HERE?
CUT IT OUT!
THIS PUTS ONE SERIOUS DENT--
[BANG]
THE PIPES ARE COLD.
THE BOILER IS COLD.
SEE FOR YOURSELF.
[ALLA] GOOD NIGHT, REUBEN.
GOOD NIGHT.
NIGHT.
SO WHY DO YOU WANT TO TALK TO ME?
I DON'T KNOW.
I DIDN'T EXPECT TO GO TO A MOVIE.
I JUST WANTED TO TALK SOME MORE, YOU KNOW?
DON'T MAKE NO DIFFERENCE TO ME.
THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?
DID YOU KILL BORIS VOLKOFF'S SON?
THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HERE NOW, RIGHT?
TO SHOOT SOMEONE?
THAT'S WHY YOU LEFT.
I GO ALL OVER...
EXCEPT HERE.
YOU CAN'T TELL ANYBODY I'M HERE.
IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
JUST DON'T GO AROUND SHOOTING YOUR FUCKING MOUTH OFF.
I CAN'T GO BACK TO BRIGHTON RIGHT NOW.
WHAT ELSE CAN I SAY, YOU KNOW?
HOW'D YOU KNOW ABOUT MY FATHER?
I WANTED TO SEE YOU.
MAKE SURE YOU WERE O.K.--
NO. HOW'D YOU KNOW?
I DON'T WANT TO TALK ANYMORE.
GONNA GIVE ME YOUR NUMBER?
WE COULD GO OUT.
WE'LL GO OUT THIS WEEK.
I COULD MAKE A CALL.
HUH?
I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT?
I HAVE MY OWN PHONE.
NUMBER'S LISTED.
DOES THAT HURT?
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
YOU KNOW I CAN'T AFFORD IT.
YOU JUST WANT YOUR DRESS.
BORIS COULD HELP YOU.
YOU KNOW HE HELP ME.
HE HELPS EVERYBODY,
BUT I WOULD NEVER ACCEPT IT.
HE COULD LEND YOU THE MONEY.
MM-MMM.
YOU TAKE SOMETHING FROM HIM...
THEN YOU KEEP TAKING.
YOU CAN NEVER GET AWAY.
YOU CAN.
YOU CAN'T.
IT'S TOO EASY. IT'S WEAK.
THE WEAK ARE THE KILLERS.
THEY COME QUIETLY, AND THAT'S HOW THEY KILL.
IT'S GOD PUNISHING ME.
I HAVE TO BELIEVE THAT.
BECAUSE IF I DIDN'T, I COULDN'T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING.
YOU'LL ALWAYS HAVE YOUR SON.
MY SON.
I HAD TWO SONS ONCE.
I ALWAYS TRIED TO TEACH THEM,
ALWAYS TRIED TO DO MY BEST.
I MADE THEM PLAY MUSIC.
I PLAYED MOZART FOR HIM
WHEN HE WAS 5 MONTHS OLD.
THEN I BOUGHT HIM A PIANO.
I PRACTICED WITH HIM.
I READ BEDTIME STORIES...
EVERY EVENING.
I WAS STUPID, I GUESS.
YOU KNOW, TO READ TO A CHILD OF 2 YEARS OLD.
CRIME AND PUNISHMENT. I THINK THAT'S STUPID.
YOU JUST CAN'T FORCE THEM.
I NEVER FORCE ANYBODY.
BUT YOU KNOW, THERE'S A SAYING.
WHEN A CHILD IS 6 YEARS OLD,
HE SAYS THE FATHER CAN DO EVERYTHING.
WHEN HE'S 12,
HE SAYS THE FATHER CAN ALMOST DO EVERYTHING.
WHEN HE'S 16,
HE SAYS THE FATHER'S AN IDIOT.
WHEN HE IS 24,
HE SAYS FATHER WASN'T MAYBE SUCH AN IDIOT.
AND THEN WHEN HE'S 40,
HE SAYS IF ONLY I COULD ASK MY FATHER.
BUT I'M AFRAID...
MY SONS WILL NEVER ASK THEMSELVES THAT.
ARE YOU WORRIED THAT I'M MARRIED?
IT ISN'T THE FIRST THING ON MY MIND, BELIEVE ME.
I MEAN, DOES IT BOTHER YOU?
DON'T YOU THINK WE SHOULD TALK?
SPEAK ENGLISH.
IS SHE A GOOD FUCK?
I THINK WE SHOULD TALK, DON'T YOU?
I'M NOT GOING TO BE IN BROOKLYN LONG,
BUT I'M GOING TO SEE MA BEFORE SHE DIES
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
I'LL DO IT WITH OR WITHOUT YOUR HELP,
BUT I WANT TO MAKE A TRUCE.
TRUCE, ALL RIGHT?
I DON'T WANT TO SEE MA WITH US FIGHTING.
YOUR LADY FRIEND UP THERE.
HOW LONG YOU BEEN DOING HER?
BEFORE OR AFTER MA GOT SICK?
I LOVE YOUR MOTHER.
YEAH. DOES REUBEN KNOW ABOUT HER YET?
IT'S ME, MA.
JOSHUA...
NOW, YOU PROMISE ME
YOU'LL TAKE CARE OF YOUR BROTHER.
DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN-- WHEN YOU WERE LITTLE,
YOU GAVE PAPA ALL YOUR MODELS--
YOUR LITTLE PLANE MODELS?
I DON'T REMEMBER.
OH, YOU-- YOU SAID TO PAPA,
"I MADE ALL THESE PLANE MODELS FOR YOU."
[CHUCKLES]
NO.
BUT I KNOW YOU CAN CHANGE.
YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT, BUT I KNOW YOU CAN.
I GUESS SO.
YOU GO TO GRANDMA'S PARTY ON SUNDAY.
TOMORROW.
I CAN'T GO. YOU GO FOR ME.
I'LL GO.
SH-SH-SHE WON'T SAY IT,
BUT SHE WOULD LOVE IF YOU WERE TO GO.
I'LL GO, MA.
I LOVE YOU, MA.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
LAY DOWN, MA.
THIS IS GOING TO BE OUR HANGOUT.
[GLASS BREAKS]
EVERY TIME I COME HERE
AND THE TEACHERS RUSH US THROUGH,
I CAN'T EVEN ENJOY IT.
THOSE GUYS DON'T LOOK TOO HAPPY IN THERE,
THOUGH, DO THEY?
YOU KNOW WHAT? I HAVEN'T BEEN TO SCHOOL
IN, LIKE, MONTHS.
WHY NOT?
IT'S BORING.
I'D RATHER BE SMOKING BUD IN A MUSEUM.
LET'S GO SEE THE SNAKES.
I'M FUCKED UP.
[COUGH]
[TAPS ON GLASS]
DON'T DO THAT.
[COUGH]
DON'T DO THAT.
AIN'T YOU SCARED IT'S GOING TO SMASH THROUGH THE GLASS OR SOMETHING,
BITE YOUR HEAD OFF?
IF IT COULD, IT WOULD.
IT MIGHT.
WELL, I AIN'T STANDING NEAR IT.
ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE TO THE DUMP,
MAKE THEM DISAPPEAR?
THAT'S WHAT SASHA ALWAYS SAYS.
SAYS YOU GUYS TAKE SHVARTZAND SHIT TO THE DUMP.
ANYONE WHO GOES THERE NEVER COMES BACK.
[CHUCKLES]
* DUN-DONG
SASHA'S A NOBODY. HE SHOULD SHUT HIS FUCKIN' MOUTH.
WHAT'S THE MATTER?
AW, FUCK, I'M GONNA PUKE.
DO IT IN THE FUCKIN' CORNER.
WOW.
[TAPS GLASS]
[RETCHING]
[COUGH]
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOIN'--
HOW DID YOU GET IN HERE?
WHAT IS--
WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOING HERE?
[CLICK]
WHOA! OH! OH, OH, OH.
YOU ALL RIGHT?
GET THE FUCK UP.
[RATTLING]
WRONG DOOR.
WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO LEAVE?
GET SOME SLEEP.
WANT SOME?
GOT THE MUNCHIES.
SO WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO GO?
WE'RE JEWS. WE WANDER.
DIDN'T THEY TEACH YOU THAT SHIT IN HEBREW SCHOOL?
MAYBE BACK TO RUSSIA.
YOU GONNA STAY UNTIL AFTER MA DIES?
DON'T SAY THAT. SHE COULD STILL PULL THROUGH.
SO DON'T SAY THAT.
I HEAR HER CRYING ALL THE TIME.
YOU'VE BEEN VERY STRONG.
YOU DON'T ALWAYS HAVE TO BE THAT WAY.
YOU CAN FEEL SAD ABOUT IT.
I'LL TRY AND STAY A LITTLE LONGER.
HEY, YOU GOING TO GRANDMA'S PARTY ON SUNDAY?
WE'LL SEE.
JOSH.
YEAH?
I LOVE YOU.
GOOD NIGHT.
FEEL BETTER.
AND GO TO SCHOOL.
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT HIS WIFE?
IF YOU THINK SHE'LL SAY SHIT
AFTER WE'RE THROUGH WITH HIM, YOU'RE FUCKIN' CRAZY.
SHE'S NO PROBLEM.
IF SHE IS, SOMEONE WILL VISIT HER, TOO.
DOES THE APARTMENT HAVE ALARMS?
THERE'S NO ALARM.
I GOT A KEY.
IT'S PROBABLY THE LEAST PROTECTED PLACE
IN THE WHOLE FUCKIN' CITY.
WE'LL BRING HIM TO THE DUMP.
WE'LL DO IT THERE.
WE'LL BURN THE BODY.
IF THERE'S NO BODY, THERE'S NO CRIME.
WE'LL DROP THE GUN THERE.
THEY CAN'T PIN IT ON ANYBODY.
ALL RIGHT, SUNDAY'S THE NIGHT.
[TELEPHONE RINGS]
[ALLA] HELLO?
THIS IS JOSHUA. WANNA GET SOMETHING TO EAT?
IT'S LATE.
I'LL COME PICK YOU UP. WE'LL GO TO THE DINER.
[SIGHS] I'D BETTER GO.
HOW LONG YOU WORKED AT THE CANDY STORE?
THREE YEARS.
LOOKS PRETTY BORING.
IT'S O.K. HELP OLD LADIES PICK OUT CANDY.
GOT TO DO SOMETHING, SO THAT'S WHAT I'M DOING.
IT COULD BE WORSE.
SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO DO REALLY BAD SHIT.
ONCE MY MOTHER TOLD ME AND MY BROTHER
SHE HAD TO FUCK A GUARD TO GET OUT OF RUSSIA.
WANT TO GO?
I'M TAKING THE SUBWAY.
YOU COULD GET KILLED ON THE SUBWAY.
I'LL GO ON THE SUBWAY.
GO LIKE THAT?
I HATE IT.
YOU WANT A RIDE?
NO.
OH...
YOU ASLEEP?
MMM...
MMM.
DID EVERYBODY TALK ABOUT ME?
WHEN I WAS GONE, I MEAN?
YEAH.
WHAT DID THEY SAY?
I DON'T KNOW. THEY JUST WANTED
TO KNOW WHAT YOU WERE DOING.
DID YOU THINK OF ME?
NOT REALLY.
SOMETIMES.
I WONDERED WHERE YOU WENT.
WHY ARE YOU SO TIRED?
I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE IT'S 'CAUSE
YOU DON'T LET ME SLEEP.
[COUGH]
YOU GOING TO GO OUT AND SEE YOUR BROTHER?
HE'S NICE.
HE'S SMART.
MMM.
SMART KID.
AN AMERICAN.
MMM.
THINK I'M DUMB?
HMM?
YOU THINK I'M DUMB?
NO.
I'M NOT SMART, THOUGH...
LIKE OLD PROFESSORS IN T ORGANISATSIA?
THE FAMILY WAS SMART, THOUGH, IN RUSSIA...
AUNT IRENE,
UNCLE OLEG...
MY PARENTS, MY GRANDPARENTS.
THEY WERE REALLY SMART.
YOU UP?
I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU GUYS,
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG,
YOU DON'T PANIC. YOU TELL ME.
OR IF YOU CAN'T, YOU JUST GO ON AS PLANNED.
YOU FORGET ABOUT IT.
O.K.?
YOU KNOW WHERE YOU'RE GOING?
[TAPPING ON GLASS]
SHH!
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
WE ARE HERE...
TO CELEBRATE...
THE 80th BIRTHDAY...

SORRY.
THANK YOU, MR. VOLKOFF.
YOU HAVE BEEN VERY GENEROUS.
I'VE TREATED YOU WITH RESPECT...
WHICH I WOULD NOT DO
FOR SOMEONE ELSE IN YOUR SITUATION.
AND I'M GRATEFUL.
I'VE ASKED FOR ONLY ONE THING IN RETURN FROM YOU.
I'VE SPARED YOUR FAMILY.
BUT I'VE HEARD RUMORS
ABOUT THAT MONGREL OF A SON OF YOURS.
DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING TO TELL ME?
I WILL HOLD YOU RESPONSIBLE...
IF HE'S HERE.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
YOU WOULD KNOW.
I KNOW WHAT IT IS TO LOSE A SON.
ALL RIGHT.
I TRUST YOU.
OHHH!
[APPLAUSE]
[SOBBING]
PUT HIM DOWN.
[SOBBING]
DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD?
[SOBBING]
WAIT 10 SECONDS AND SEE IF GOD SAVES YOU.
[MUMBLING AND SOBBING]
GET THE TONGUE.
[COUGH COUGH]
BRING THE BODY.
DROP THE GUN.
WIPE IT DOWN.
[CAR MOTOR STARTS]
[CAR DRIVES OFF]
[SINGING IN RUSSIAN]
[ALLA HUMMING]
[RECITING IN HEBREW]
CAN'T REMEMBER THE REST OF IT.
I GUESS...THAT'S ENOUGH FOR NOW.
WHAT'S THAT?
THE MOURNERS' KADDISH.
I COME HERE EVERY WEEK.
IT'S THE PLACE MY FATHER DIED.
LET'S GO.
GOING AWAY?
YEAH.
I THOUGHT WE WERE GOING TO DO SOME THINGS.
I GUESS I'LL JUST BE SORT OF
HANGING AROUND AFTER YOU LEAVE.
GUESS THIS IS IT.
GOT NO CHOICE.
SORRY. I CAN'T MAKE IT TONIGHT.
PLEASE DON'T ASK.
[THUMP]
SHH, SHH.
[THUMP]
SHH.
ARE YOU GOING THROUGH MY MAIL AGAIN?
I FOUND SOME OF MY LETTERS...
IN ONE OF YOUR DRAWERS.
I KNOW YOU HAVEN'T BEEN IN SCHOOL
FOR TWO MONTHS. DON'T RUN AWAY.
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
REUBEN, I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
CAN I TALK TO YOU?
I WANT TO TALK TO YOU.
OPEN THE DOOR.
ALL RIGHT. YOU DON'T WANT TO OPEN THE DOOR.
[WHIPPING]
I'M SORRY I HIT YOU...
BUT YOU'RE ALWAYS RUNNING AWAY.
I DON'T WANT YOU TO SEE JOSHUA ANYMORE.
JOSHUA IS NOT YOUR BROTHER ANYMORE.
UNDERSTAND?
I'VE SPENT MY LIFE
TRYING TO MAKE THINGS BETTER FOR YOU.
I DON'T MAKE APOLOGIES.
IF I MAKE MISTAKES, I'M SORRY.
DO YOU THINK I LIKE WORKING AT THE STAND?
DO YOU THINK I ENJOY SELLING GIFTS...
AND MAGAZINES?
IT'S ONLY BECAUSE OF YOU...
TO MAKE MONEY... FOR YOU.
YOUR BROTHER IS A DIFFERENT STORY.
HE'S A STREET RAT.
YOU MAY THINK YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT HIM,
BUT BELIEVE ME, YOU DON'T.
HE HAS NO AMBITION...
NO DESIRE...
NO NOTHING.
I KNOW YOU DON'T RESPECT ME...
BUT LORD KNOWS I TRIED MY BEST.
REUBEN.
DOES YOUR GIRLFRIEND RESPECT YOU?
[CLINK]
CAME TO SAY BYE.
POP DID THAT TO YOU?
WE'RE GOING FOR A RIDE.
WHAT'S THIS?
SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP!
HEY, HEY.
WE'RE GOING FOR A RIDE.
[SPEAKING RUSSIAN]
IT'S MY SON.
STOP.
TURN AROUND.
TAKE OFF YOUR COAT.
TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS.
KNEEL DOWN.
AREN'T YOU GOING TO SAY ANYTHING?
YOU'RE A BIG MAN, IS THAT IT?
YOU'RE A BIG MAN?
I DON'T NEED A GUN TO BE A MAN.
I DON'T KNOW...
WHAT MADE YOU WHAT YOU ARE.
ALL I ASK YOU IS TO LEAVE REUBEN ALONE.
PLEASE.
EVEN YOU MUST KNOW
THERE'S NOWHERE YOU CAN GO ANYMORE.
YOU HAVE DESTROYED US.
YOU HAVE DESTROYED OUR FAMILY.
JOSHUA.
[CAR DOOR SHUTS]
