Albanian Gangster (2018) - full transcript

The criminal subculture of the Albanian community in the Bronx, starring a real-life ex-con.

Alright, lemme tell you a story.

The first time I've been to a
funeral, my father takes me.

Somebody killed our cousin
over some kind of drug deal.

Put a bullet in his head.

So, we go to the funeral and...

First funeral I've been to,
and I've seen my cousin.

You couldn't even recognize
him, his head was this big.

I've never seen my father
so upset in my life, ever.

At that funeral.

I mean, he was...

You could see it in his
eyes, he was pissed, so,



I'm at football
practice one day.

I played football
for my high school.

So, I'm at football practice,
I was about 15 years old.

My coach comes up to me, he
says, "Hey, you have to leave."

I'm like, "What happened," he
goes, "Your father's here."

I said, "Alright."

So I go, I get dressed in the
locker room, I go outside.

I see my father out there,
he's like, "Come on."

"Come on, my boy."

I'm like, "Where we goin', pop?"

He goes, "Don't worry about it."

So, we pull up
somewhere, we stop.

And I just looked at
him, I'll never forget.

He just stared.



He just looked at me

and stared at me for
a couple of seconds.

And I was like, what the
hell's going on, you know?

He goes, "Listen, my boy."

He goes in the backseat,

he pulls up this
blanket that he had,

a fucking shotgun
in the backseat.

He goes, "This is where the
guy, who killed our cousin is."

He goes, "I want you to see"

"what happens when
somebody kills somebody,"

"or does something to somebody
you love, or our family."

And now me inside...

Outside I'm cool, you know,
I'm a cool customer outside,

inside, I'm shaking,

but not from fear.

It wasn't from fear,
it was excitement.

I was happy,

like I was proud to be
doing this with my father,

you know what I mean?

He was like God to me, you know.

We wait, I'll never forget
the look in his eyes, man.

He was like a lion
on a gazelle, man.

He was locked, like locked in.

We're waiting, we wait, and
we wait about three hours.

Nothing happens, you know.

We're waiting and waiting,

he goes, "Alright,
forget about him."

Next day, I'm at
football practice again.

"Koja, listen, your uncle's
here to pick you up."

"My uncle?"

I'm like, what the
hell's going on?

We go back to my house.

Everybody's here: Uncles,
cousins, everybody.

So my grandfather and my
uncles take me into the room,

me and my brother,
and they tell us,

"Listen, your father is not
coming back for a while."

So right away I
knew what happened.

My brother didn't really
know what happened,

and then it was all
over, he went away.

He went and blew the guy's
chest out with a shotgun.

This is what you do.

If somebody does
something to your family,

somebody kills somebody and
disrespects your last name,

or your people, you do
what you have to do.

You sacrifice yourself,

no matter what.

(dramatic music)

(hip-hop music)

- (woman moaning)
- Oh shit.

What the fuck, bro, you
gonna wake up my mother.

You better shut up.

'Sup sweetheart?

- What, you want a cigarette?
- Yeah.

Alright.

Buff me up.

Call your guy.

- Huh?
- Call your boy.

Call him?

What's up, man?

Two weeks I'm waiting over here?

Man, I told you, I
really don't know what to say...

Yo, are you fucking
selling me fairytales, bro?

Do I gotta fucking
come to Brooklyn?

Do I gotta fucking come to...

Yo, talk to this motherfucker,

- he's your boy.
- I don't wanna talk to him.

- It's the same story.
- Talk to him.

- Every time.
- Tell him,

don't make us come
to fucking Brooklyn.

What day you gonna
be able to see me?

It's sunny out there.

They say there's
gonna be a hurricane.

- Here's breakfast.
- I gotta get outta here.

That's how you do that.

Yo, get this fucking
bitch outta here, bro.

We gotta get ready, bro.

She's putting
her shoes on, dude.

Alright, I don't give a fuck!

I'm waiting on you,
dude, I'm waiting on you.

You're telling me, I'm the
only reason you're here.

Alright, the only reason I'm
here's 'cause of you, alright?

Am I that important?

You see this fucking
shit I gotta deal with?

This fucking retarded
crackhead motherfucker.

I gotta get outta this.

Yeah, listen, fuck that shit.

I texted this girl last night.

She's not answering me.

I see my mother, the way
she looks at all my nephews,

and then she looks at
me, (scoffs) no kids, 47.

The only one I want,
I can't fucking get.

I don't understand what
the problem is here.

I think, you know
what the problem is?

I know what the problem is.

She doesn't like what
we're doing, what I do.

You know what I mean?

I just wanna have a kid with
that girl and come home.

Ma, here, take this baby
and take care of him for me.

(upbeat music)

Yo, can we get a round
of drinks for the boys?

How you doing, bro?

Alright, man.

(people chatting)

(sirens blaring)

What they want over here?

Don't fucking leave
nobody alone, huh.

- What, the cops?
- Yeah.

- Pussies.
- Bitch ass niggas.

- Thank you guys, thank you.
(laughing)

- They left.
- Yeah, they left, they left.

Thank God they
didn't tow the car.

Thank God they
didn't tow me, dude.

'The fuck outta here.

Yo, more drinks please.

Bring the fucking bottle!

Come on, I know
you don't need a drink.

Take a seat, take a seat.

My wife's killing me enough.

I don't need a
fucking cancer stick.

Yeah, that's why I'm
not fucking married, dude.

You guys are the
guys I'm married to.

- You guys.
- He goes, "Yo, my wife?"

You, you, you, you,
you, you, and you.

Alright, we gotta speak
Italian over here.

'Cause I got my
paisano over here.

We got the paisano over here!

What are you doing, Vinny?

This fucking guy
scuffed my brand new sneakers.

Who, Vinny?

Albanians don't
like this fucking kid.

Neither do the Italians.

And he's Italian.

- Fuck him.
- But I like him.

He's my number one right now.

Always a good time
with you guys.

Nobody likes that.

I think I can do pretty
much whatever I want.

He actually does think he
can do whatever he wants to do.

- Whenever he wants to do it.
- I don't really think it.

I do pretty much
whatever I want.

- Whenever.
- Yeah, he does.

Wherever.

I tell him, "Don't do
it," he still does it.

He's bad news this kid.

People need to act accordingly.

Looks a little short.

Go in the bathroom
and look at it.

This is what it is.

I'd rather have him than a
hundred Albanians that I know.

But then I'd rather
have 100 Albanians

more than 100 guineas,
or one guinea or two.

I'm his role model.

For about 10 minutes of the day.

Come here, gimme a kiss, baby.

Get the fuck outta here.

Come here.

Oh you wanna give
me a hug? (Laughing)

What the fuck are you doing

- with the fucking paisan?
- Yo, he's my paisan, bro.

He's mine.

He's mine, he's my nephew.

- He adopted me as his uncle.
- Hey, hey, he's with you.

Yo, Leon, if you vouch for
Vinny, he's good with us.

Let me tell you
something about that kid:

- He's with me, that's it.
- How can I trust him?

He scuffed my sneakers!
(men laughing)

- Big fucking deal, bro.
(all laughing)

You better fucking laugh.

Who the fuck is this?

Alright.

Yo.

- Yo we gotta get outta here.
- What happened?

The fucking, the
fucking Waterbug.

I been looking for

Yo, lemme know who.

This kid's making me sweat balls

'cause he's wearing
a sweater over here.

Dude, I'm fucking dying myself.

- All right, I got you.
- Yo chill the fuck out, bro.

The masseuse was
rougher last night, huh?

- Oh my God.
- Ahh, shut up.

How's your ass feel

She got pretty
close to my butthole.

She gave you the
shiatsu fucking massage?

Leon, Leon, there he is.

Yeah, when this is done.

Yo, all night...

Yeah, with every
fiber of my being.

I'm joking,
I'm sorry if I'm being...

- It's all good, chill.
- Okay.

- Good.

I'm gonna chill even more.

You need to get a drink.

Yeah, I'm definitely
getting a drink.

- Yeah.
- Cheers.

Cheers.

I'm sorry.

They say I come off a
little too aggressive.

- What do you think?
- A little aggressive.

You like that?

- Um, (chuckling)
you make me nervous.

I think I make everybody
nervous, including myself.

You actually calm me down.

I don't usually sweet-talk
too many people,

but you, I can't help it.

So.

(laughing) Sorry, am I
pouring it on too thick?

- A little too thick.
- Just a little?

Lay off the hot sauce, man.

You got me sweating right now.

I'm sweating like
one of my friends.

Yo, just stop me
if I'm being rude.

(mellow music)

Watch your step.

There you go.

I knew it.

I'm putting your keys
right here, alright?

- Thanks for taking me home.
- Drink this.

Yeah.

Nope, not that.

This.

You have a good time tonight?

Yeah.

I'm really happy
you had a good time tonight.

I want you to make
yourself comfortable.

I am comfortable.

Nah, you don't look comfortable.

- Here, sit down.
- No, I don't wanna sit.

- Why not?
- I like to stand.

- Are you staying?
- Are you gonna straighten...

Get the...

- What?
- Back off.

What do you want me to do?

- You're here.
- I want you to sit down.

Yeah, I'm gonna
sit down right now.

- Sit down.
- Look.

Seriously, no, come on, come on.

- I gotta go.
- Relax, why you so uptight?

I'm not uptight.

I just wanted to make sure
you're okay, and now I'm going.

I think I'm not okay.

You can't leave.

I'm definitely not
okay right now.

You're coming on too strong.

I'm not coming on too strong.

I'm trying to make
you comfortable.

Welcome to my home.

Thanks.

I gotta go now.

I gotta go.

I'll never understand
women, especially you.

I've been trying so hard.

Stay.

Maybe you need
to try a little harder.

I'm trying as hard as I can.

I'm doing everything
I know how to do.

Drink the water.

- Get over there.
- I gotta go.

- You ain't going nowhere.
- I am going.

Come on, please.
(Leon laughing)

- Stay.
- You're making me stay?

Stay for me.

- You're making me stay?
- I'll be nice, I promise you.

I'll be nice.

You know I got respect for you.

Let me go, I gotta go.

I'm not letting you go nowhere.

Get off me.

Get the fuck off of me!

Whoa, she's crazy.

Drink your fucking water.

Why you gonna be like that?

(mellow music)

Leon.

Yo.

Yo.

Yo.

You awake?

- Yeah, man.
- What's up, Leon?

Get the fuck outta here.

Get up, man.

What's happening?

You shot?

Well I'm a little
younger than Leon,

like 10 years or something
like that younger than him.

So, when I was...
Just a little.

Just a little bit.

So, when we were growing up,

you know, we were little
kids running around,

and these guys
were older than us,

and you know, each generation's
more crazier than the last.

So when we were growing up,

watching Leon and
these older other guys,

they were doing crazy shit, man,

I mean they were really
sick bastards, bro.

So when you were a little kid,

that's who you wanted to be,
you know, you look at them,

and, you know, that's
who you want to be like.

So, when we got to a
certain age, older,

it was tough, because we
grew up, it was all projects,

all black people, you
know, all Spanish people,

and we're the only
white kids there.

'Cause Albanians, when
they came from back home,

they were all poor,
you know, no money.

So they all took jobs as supers.

And everybody migrated
to Pelham Parkway,

or Mosholu Parkway, that's
where all of us were.

So we ended up, we
just stuck together,

and we just made a name
for ourselves, because...

Cuz, we had to fucking
destroy motherfuckers

- to know who we are.
- Yes.

Because we're here and
we're not going nowhere.

We're from north
Albania, you know.

We're Malsors, that's what
we're called, all right.

There is no Albania
without no Malsor.

The Ottoman Empire came
in and invaded Albania,

and for 500 years, they had
us under their fucking boot.

They didn't have us.

Well, they had,
they still had us,

they had Albania under
their fucking boot.

And what they did is...

That's why Albania now is
the only European country

that the majority is Muslim.

But we're Catholic, you know.

We stood in the
mountains, and we fought.

We fought.

We fought 'em back, for 500
years we fought 'em back.

Then after the fucking Ottoman
Empire, then the Serbs.

The Serbs, a hundred
years, they fuckin'...

The Serbs.

Always at war, our whole
history is just at war...

The Greeks.

The Italians.

That's why we're so...
The Nazis.

That's why we're so
hot-blooded, that's why we're so...

You know what I mean?

That's why we don't back
down an inch from nobody.

Yeah.

We laid down the fucking law.

Yeah we did.

That's what we did.

We went through
some crazy shit, bro.

We definitely did.

Generation after generation.

Everywhere you look,

you see three Albanians, one
black guy, one Spanish guy.

When I grew up here,

you see 300 black
guys, 300 Spanish guys.

You saw one Albanian.

You sat there and talked
to him for an hour

even if you didn't know
who the fuck he was.

Growing up, I was scared
to come around here

'cause they were gonna jump me.

Now?

I do whatever I want.

And so do the rest of us.

There's nothing I didn't
do in this neighborhood.

There's nothing I won't do
in this neighborhood now.

(mellow music)

You were fucking
Vinny the other night,

and now you're
hugging up on me, huh?

- Come on.
- How do you know that?

How do I know that.

Of course I know that.

- Who told you?
- Huh?

A little bird came down
from the sky and told me.

Sorry, I'm trying
to break away from you.

(mellow guitar music)

So then why
are you all up on it?

I'm not all up on it.

- She's all up on me.
- Yes but you're not like, yo.

You're like, "Ooh, okay."

Okay, but whose baby
is that in your stomach?

I don't know.

But if it's yours,

I would expect for you
to treat me better,

- and this is not a good sign.
- I don't know if it's mine.

(mellow guitar music)

I'm sorry, gimme a hug.

Look at that.

That's what I want.

- You want babies?
- Yeah.

You know with who.

- No.
- I want a baby with you.

Wow.

Listen, I um...

I've been in hell all this time.

I don't know, I am so, so...

Like I feel like
you're a magnet to me.

I feel like I need you.

And I believe I need you.

I think you're beautiful.

What kind of shit is
going on here, man?

Cuz, they do this every night.

Every single night
they do this, cuz.

They bust peoples'
balls, it's crazy dude.

Look, just for a couple
people hanging out,

look what they do.

They block the
whole fucking block.

This is an Albanian
neighborhood, cuz.

What do you think
they fucking doing?

Fuck these cops, man!

Don't let 'em hear
you say that, buddy.

He's something else, this kid.

Go ahead, go tell the cops.

Go ahead, go tell 'em.

He's a fucking soldier, I swear.

- 18 years, the same job.
- 18 years?

Riding the iron horse
of work every day.

I spent 18 years in the joint.

- I got no choice, cuzzie.
- I held the same job you did.

- I got family to raise, bro.
- I had 18 years in the joint.

You had a better
life than me, dude.

Oh man.

Yo, Leo.

- What was my name?
- Cheers.

- What was my name again?
- Nice seeing you.

What was my name again?

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

Leo.

- Cheers, what?
- Leo?

Leo, right.

Nice seeing you, cuzzie.

Don't blame him, he doesn't
even know his own name.

Next time you call me Leo,

you're going through
that fucking window.

Hey.

Leon, what's up?

What's up, man?

- How you been?
- I'm all right, you?

- How's everything?
- Good, man.

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

What's going on?

You want a drink?

I'm drinking already.

- What's happening, Koja?
- What's up, Viktor?

How you been, man?

Good.

How's your family?

- Brothers good?
- Everybody good.

I heard your father died, huh.

- Yeah.
- Sorry to hear that.

I appreciate that, thank you.

Get these guys a drink.

Don't worry about it,
I got this, it's fine.

Alright.

Take care.

See you again.

Yo, Vinny.

Vinny.

Shut up and listen to me, man.

You don't know who
that motherfucker is?

No, but he got a
big ass fucking mouth.

Yo relax, don't fucking
say nothing to him.

Don't look at him, nothing.

He's a fucking
federal informant.

You and Koja go in there,
just chill the fuck out.

Relax.

I'm gonna call Bear right now.

You keep an eye on him.

- Tell me if he leaves.
- He ain't going nowhere.

All right.

Yo, don't do anything,

- alright?
- I got you.

Call Bear.

- Yo.
- What's up big bro?

What's going on?

You won't believe who I
just fucking saw right now.

Who?

Who I ran into
in the fucking bar,

hanging out drinking
with the boys.

Who the fuck you run into, bro?

You remember Viktor
the fucking rat?

After how many years,
the motherfucker just...

What the fuck is
he doing here, bro?

I don't know.

All that time I spent
in the joint, huh?

When he saw me, he was
all dressed like a pimp.

I'm gonna go right now...
Calm down.

Here, take a blast,
take a fucking blast.

Fuck, motherfucker, man!

Calm down,
bro, give it a second.

He dies before I fucking
die, that's all I'm saying.

Leon, you gotta
calm down first, bro.

- Let's go back over there.
- We can't, no, no, no.

Let's go back over there.

I want to go right now and
kill this motherfucker.

Let's just go over there.

Fuck June and everyone.

No, we're not going
over there right now, bro.

Slow down a second first, bro.

We gotta do this...

- Think about this, bro.
- Gimme some shit.

We cannot just go in there
and do what you wanna do.

I know what you wanna do, but
we can't do it like that, bro.

There's fucking cameras on
every fucking corner, bro.

Just pass that.

Can't even find my fucking nose.

Lemme calm down a
little too right now,

'cause you got me fuckin'...

How the fuck does he
got balls to show up now?

We gonna go pick up June.

We gonna sit down have drink,
we gonna talk about this.

He got balls to touch me, bro.

There's no snitching.

If you see that person
anywhere on the street,

and you don't do what
you're supposed to do,

you're not a man anymore.

No matter how you do it.

If you choke him to
death, or whatever it is.

But if you see him on the
street, you have to do it.

If you're a man, you're a man.

There's no, "Oh, I'm a half
a man, or I'm 75% man."

No.

If you're a man, then you're
a fucking man, and that's it.

You fuck with our code,
you fuck with everything.

Our pride, our last name.

Everything that we did
for thousands of years.

Everything goes to shit.

If you don't do what
you're supposed to do.

Gimme the gun.

No, bro, chill out, bro.

- You're too fucked up, man.
- Gimme the fucking gun, bro.

Yo Leon man you're not in the
right fucking state of mind.

Who the fuck asked you anything?

I'm telling you,

you're not in the right
fucking state of mind.

You wanna get out?

You're my boys.

You guys are with me, right?

Cuz, I'm with
you, no matter what.

Are you with me, you with me?

But I'm not gonna roll

- when you stupid.
- I'm here for you.

Gimme the fucking gun.

Don't fucking give
it to him, Bear.

Relax with that shit, man!

- Put it down, bro!
- Back up!

- Leon, calm down.
- Shut up!

- Bear...
- Shut the fuck up!

Bro, put it the fuck down, man.

Shut up.

Put the fucking thing down, bro.

And you shut the fuck up too.

Yo, keep that shit down
bro, keep it down bro, yo.

- Leon, keep it down, man.
- Relax, bro, I got this.

Why the fuck did you
give him the fucking gun?

I thought he woulda
calmed down a little.

Calm down?

You just gave him a fucking gun.

Just go.

Bro, you with me or not?

Think about what
you're saying, bro.

We're fucking with
your head, alright?

Think about what you're saying.

Drive the car!

- Put that thing down, bro.
- Drive the fucking car!

Put that fucking
thing down, bro.

- This is my beef.
- Our beef too.

We're wasting fucking
time right now.

Drive the car.

Listen, Leon, man.

Let's sit down talk about it.

Bear, start the fucking car.

- Let's go get a drink, man.
- Put that thing down.

Please bro, put the
thing down, man.

- Take a fucking blast, Leon.
- Put that thing down, man.

Thank you very much, bro.

Thank you so much, bro.

Calm down.

We'll get him, he
ain't going nowhere.

Yeah they're leaving, they're
getting ready to leaving.

What the fuck's
taking Leon so long?

- Yeah, I'll take the tab.
- Where you going?

- Vik, where you goin, man?
- Ah, we're outta here.

- Have a drink on us.
- You ain't going nowhere.

You know what, I'll
take their tab too.

I don't need you to pay my tab.

- I wanna pay your tab.
- Get him a shot.

- Get him a shot.
- One Italian to another.

Listen, let's
have another drink.

Take the fucking check...

What's with the hostility, man?

What's going on with this kid?

Listen, this guy
had a couple bumps...

You didn't deny your plea,
you're denying my drink,

you rat fucking cocksucker.

Whoa, what the fuck
did you say to me?

Viktor, Viktor, Viktor...

Why don't you sit the fuck down?

- Vinny, Vinny...
- Yeah, you shut the fuck up.

Yo sit the fuck down.

Get your fucking
kid under control.

Vinny, Vinny, Vinny!

Yo, yo, yo, guys, guys, guys.

Listen, Vik...

What the fuck you looking at?

Your mom liked it in
the ass, that's right...

- Get the fuck outta here.
- Hey Vinny, stay over here!

Hey, Vik, Viktor!

Does this kid
fucking know who I am?

- Yeah, a rat.
- Let's have a drink.

- Vinny.
- Shut your fucking mouth!

Vik, have a drink,
let's settle this.

- Sit, Vin.
- You know what?

Come over here.

We're gonna take a walk.

- Have a drink, man.
- Koja, take care of yourself.

You, get your shit, let's go.

Enjoy writing your statement
on the way home, too,

you fucking rat.

What'd I just fucking tell you?

Don't make me ask you twice.

Vik, Vik, we're all good.

Have a good night, man.

Get outta here, you
little rat's bitch.

Vinny.

You got it, Viktor.

See you soon tough guy.

Go write another statement.

You ain't a fucking

Relax.

Listen, man, what'd I tell you?

Didn't I tell you to relax?

- Get off me!
- Huh?

Calm the fuck down.

What's wrong with you, man?

Why?

Fuck you.

You ever seen me before or no?

You want me to introduce myself?

What the fuck
does that mean, man?

Huh, you want me
to introduce myself?

What the fuck
does that mean, bro?

I'm saying if you want
me to introduce myself...

Just take the
shit, do your thing,

and lemme get outta here.

Alright, come on, get
the fuck outta here, bro.

- Beat it.
- Yo, relax, bro.

- Get the fuck outta here.
- What the fuck, man?

Who the fuck are you, man?

- Just chill.
- Last time I tell you,

don't do anything to

Just get the fuck outta here.

- Get the fuck outta here.
- Goddamn.

(hard rock music)

(cellphone ringing)

Yeah.

Leon.

Yo what's up bro?

Yo, this dude Vinny just
flipped out on these dudes, man.

We couldn't keep
'em here, they left.

I told you to keep a
fucking eye on 'em, man!

I know, I tried, man,
I tried to keep 'em here.

I tried to keep 'em here.

This dude flipped out.

Fuck, bro.

Where are you?

Fuck.

Come inside.

(dramatic music)

- I told you to keep it cool.
- They were leaving, bro.

- I told you to play it cool.
- Get the fuck outta here.

A rat shouldn't even be
in the same place as us.

Fuck, this is not
even a conversation.

Listen, listen, this
is not our problem.

This is Leon's problem,
you understand?

That's Leon's hit.

That's his kill, not ours.

Talking about my fucking mother,

what are you fucking crazy?

I know, but you gotta
play it cool for after.

I tried playing it cool.

He's paying his tab
regardless, then he's leaving.

When you see the guy with
two in his head, alright?

That's when you'll
feel better about him

talking about your mom.

Don't worry about it.

I woulda split his
shit open right here.

Now he might disappear, we
might never see him again.

I gotta sit here and
play waiting games.

In federal protection probably.

Fucking shit, man.

I don't need
youse to babysit me.

I told you, follow my lead.

What do you want me to do?

They're paying the
tab, they're leaving!

Listen, the point
was to keep 'em here.

They're taking too fucking long!

What do you think we're
gonna fucking do, huh?

For this time, just for this
time, don't be a hothead.

I don't associate with rats.

That's how important this was.

I don't know how you
want me to sit here.

This is important to Leon.

Fuck.

- Ooh.

Pah!

Alright, so what happened now?

- I dunno, people forget.
- It's not the same problem,

It's not the same person?

So now I gotta fuckin'...

What I gotta do?

I gotta teach...

Stay outta trouble.

I'm trying my best, dude.

You people here?

You guys, you were born in this.

I wasn't born in this.

I came here.

Nobody liked me.

I liked you.

No, I made people like me.

Real people like me.

That's why I got a lot of
love and respect for you.

But the rest of them?

Nobody likes me.

And I don't want nobody

Do you take it as a shot?

No, no, no you can't
take it as a shot.

Yo, it's rough.

You gotta sip it.

My uncle, from when he was
14, he smoked till he was 93.

He died.

Every single day of
his life he smoked.

How old was your grandfather?

- 108
- 108 years old.

- Yeah.
- He smoked his whole life.

I know, he was very old.

From five in the morning,

he walked to church every day,

- until it closed.
- Wow.

That sounds like my grandfather.

What's going on?

- What's up, bro?
- What's up, man?

- You alright?
- Sleeping?

Yeah, something like that.

- I came up here to see you...
- That's it?

- That's it?
- You want some?

No, no, I'm good, thank you.

She swears I'm an alcoholic.

I know. (Giggling)

I know.

I know, that's why
I came up here.

I'm having a rough
time with all this shit.

I know, you're bugging out, man.

- You don't know?

- You have a boy, you have one?
- I'm gonna wait.

I'm gonna wait.

Can I talk to you for a second?

Can you go make me
a coffee, coffee.

Coffee, thank you, coffee.

Thank you, I love you.

Why did we come over here again?

(traffic drowns out voice)

Alright, just have a
drink, we're leaving.

- What the fuck is this?
- Hey you want us to take off?

No, man, you're always
welcome at my house.

I just didn't know
you guys were coming.

I had a rough night.

- Yeah, what happened?
- I'm sweating like a dog.

Ah, something happened.

- Drank too much last night.
- Is that surprising?

I'll be right back.

- Now?
- Yeah.

Ladies, excuse me for one
second, I'll be right back.

- So?
- Fortune.

We're gonna look...

This is different from that.

That means a lot
of money, you see.

- For me?
- Yeah.

- A lot of money.
- Yeah.

Oh, that's so beautiful, my God.

What does it say, Maria?

It's really beautiful.

A lot of beautiful
trips, happiness, money.

Children maybe?

- Two.
- Two children?

Look, look.

Looks like not far apart
from each other, look.

- I see.
- You see those two?

Looks such a beautiful thing.

Very, very good luck.

Whatchamacallit in English,

I wish I knew better
to explain it to you.

I'm serious.

A lot of prosperity.

Yeah?

Everything looks
such a beautiful.

I swear on the Holy
Bible, I'm serious.

When we left the
country, that was 1975.

And me and my husband
and my three children,

and my mother-in-law,
she was old lady.

We left the house
because we were afraid

they were gonna put us in jail

because it was Communism time.

We went through
snow, and barefoot.

I walked five hours barefoot
with my kid on my back.

Jesus.

That's...

I wish I know how
to express even

more correctly, you know?

Then, when we came
to United States,

we arrived here, we start to
work a little bit, you know.

When you come over here, no
language, no help, no nothing.

Four years after,
my husband got sick

of cancer,

and he passed
away, 42 years old.

But finally God helped us, and

we did,

we did, you know, pretty good.

Leon, he's um,

he's a person...

He's a type of person

- very active.
- Mm-hmm.

Very active.

But he's very good
person in his heart.

And um...

But that doesn't
explain what's...

You really should

get

married to Leon.

(Lisa chuckling)

You will be, I
would be very happy.

Very happy.

I would be very happy

- for Leon.
- I'm sure you would be, yeah.

Because you're a sweetheart.

Marko.

Koja, what's up, cuz?

- How're you doing, my friend?
- Good.

How's everything?

Good, everything is good,

- thank God.
- Yeah, long time no see, man.

- What are we gonna do.
- What've you been up to?

Not much, playing with
this car a little bit,

trying to put her together,

- a couple of little things.
- Ah, she's a beauty.

- So how you been, good?
- Good, good, I swear.

How's your family,
how's your son?

- He's in college, right?
- Yes.

He's doing alright?

- He's doing okay.
- How's he in school?

He's doing good in school?

Everybody's good.

Otherwise, you'd
kick his ass, right?

- That's it.
- What about your daughter?

- How's she doing?
- She's alright.

Relax, she's okay.

- Alright.
- How you been?

I been alright,
running up and down.

Trying to make a dollar
here, make a dollar there.

Trying to get to your level.

You will get there one day.

Just gotta stay in line.

If I can make as long
as you, I'll be okay.

Right.

Go in the car, I wanna
show you something.

Let's hear this bitch roar.

This thing is
old, but it starts like new.

Sometimes.

(engine turns over)

That's a lot of
power right there.

Oh you can feel that power.

(engine revving)

Whoo, hoo, hoo!

Yeah, she's a fucking beast.

She's a fucking beast, man.

(engine revving)

You know why I
called you here, right?

No I don't.

I was wondering myself
why you called me.

I called you about Leon.

Listen to me.

You don't understand what
happened with this guy.

What happened with
this guy, we are exposed!

(speaks in foreign language)

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

Marko, I understand.

Listen to me,
listen to me, okay...

We gonna have feds on our ass.

I understand what you're saying.

He's seen the fucking rat.

What do you want
him to do, Marko?

What do you want him to do?

Nobody's gonna
stop him, not you...

I am telling you,
you shut him off,

- or I will shut him off.
- What are you gonna do?

You gonna take
the guineas' side?

- For money?
- All the Bronx...

Why, because you're
losing some fucking money?

- Knows about our shit!
- So what?

I don't wanna fucking talk
about this shit no more!

(speaking foreign language)

Get out!

Marko, lemme tell
you something...

- It's over!
- Okay, no problem.

Before I leave, before I leave,

I wanna tell you one thing...
Go!

Yeah?

- Okay, motherfucker, okay.
- Go!

And you don't call
me motherfucker.

(speaking foreign language)

- Goodbye.
- Okay, okay, Marko.

I'm not gonna hear
this shit anymore.

- Okay.
- Fucking scarlata!

(speaking foreign language)

Fucking scumbags!

Hold on a second.

Hold on a minute.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry.

What do you mean,
"What's wrong?"

You caught me off guard today.

- What's happening?
- I don't know.

You guys just showed
up unexpectedly,

and I just had woken up.

I was really happy
to see you there.

You don't know what
I'm going through.

So tell me.

- I can't tell you this shit.
- Why not?

'Cause it's not for you
to know stuff like this.

You're the only good thing
that I look forward to

in this life right now.

Can I make it up to you?

You know, I've been
through this before, Leon.

I don't think...
Don't do this shit.

I can't...

I hope you know,

I got feelings...
I do, I get it.

You don't know how
I feel about you?

Isn't it obvious?

(chuckles) Yeah.

I get it, I really do.

Just...

(gentle music)

Motherfucker.

You gotta know Leon earlier.

Back, you know, we're talking
about 10 years, 20 years ago.

Man, he was a bad
motherfucker, man.

Nobody could even look
that guy in the eye.

And now he's...

Since I've known
Leon, all right,

he's the one that flies
off the handle right away.

He has a short fuse.

Right away, something
sets him off.

And I'm always the one, I'm a
little more, you know, listen.

I'm the one who's more
cool, calm, collected,

you know what I mean,
I think about things.

I think things through.

I don't think about what's in
front of me one step ahead.

I think about three steps ahead.

And...

I don't know the
word to use for it.

I'm starting to feel
really angry, and really...

I'm starting to be a little
disappointed with Leon.

That's what it is, and
that's making me angry.

'Cause I wish he was smarter.

(hip-hop music)

Where's my money?

Where's my fucking money?

You fucking mutt.

You fucking piece of
shit motherfucker.

Huh?

How 'bout now?

Do your whole fucking
family a favor,

you fucking piece of
shit motherfucker.

Fuck you motherfucker.

Garbage, garbage, motherfucker.

Goodbye.

Piece of shit motherfucker.

I just don't know what to do.

I don't know how to help him.

I don't know how to help him.

Listen, anything
you do in this life,

there's a consequence.

Every action has a reaction.

You can't go out do crazy shit

and not expect something
else to happen.

Okay, you might
think at the time

you're bulletproof
and everything.

I could do this to that one,
I could beat this one up,

I could do this, or I
could fuck someone's wife.

All right, but listen,
somethings gonna happen.

That's how the world works.

You fucking bitch ass nigga.

- Where's that rat motherfucker?
- Leon, go relax.

You got that?

Viktor's your boy, right?

Leon, you're my boy,

- what are you talking about?
- Yeah, I'm your fucking boy?

I fucking did so much shit
for all you motherfuckers.

Somebody gotta know
where the fuck he is.

I don't know.

Somebody here gotta
know where the fuck he is.

If I knew, I
would tell you guys.

None of you guys remember me?

every fucking one of you.

woulda let you know.

I didn't see nothing!

Somebody knows
where that rat is!

Somebody knows
where that rat is!

life, I don't know where he is.

If I knew where he is, I
would fucking tell you.

- Listen, Leon, Leon, Leon.
- Talk to me.

Listen, I know you want
to catch this motherfucker.

But we gotta do it smart.

Take it easy, just take a seat.

Relax, man.

Listen, do things the right way.

foreign language)

Yeah we are.

- Yeah we are.
- Fuck that motherfucker.

Yeah we are.

That motherfucker got the balls

to touch me after what happened?

Yeah, but how 'bout
we do it without...

You understand,
without you getting...

- You understand?
- Yeah, alright.

Yeah, whatever, don't worry.

We'll see what happens.

Who are these people in here?

Who the fuck are

I'm not alright either.

- Ah alright.
- We'll get him, bro.

Alright, so?

So what the fuck, bro?

walking around here

after all the shit I've
been through because of him.

Yo, yo, yo, shh.

Come on, there are
people in here.

There are people in here, man.

Man, fuck everybody in here.

What happens if he ends up dead?

What happens if he ends up dead?

You wanna go to jail for the
rest of your fucking life?

Yes, yes!

- Right now I don't give a fuck!
- I know you would.

Sit down one second,
I gotta talk to you.

Lemme ask you a question.

Somebody else in
here's catching it

if I don't get the fuck
outta here right now.

- Hey, hey, hey.
- Come on, man!

Leon, look at me,
lemme ask you a question.

Yo, talk to me.

- That's all I hear is talk.
- Yo, Vinny, is he solid?

Yeah, Vinny's solid.

Why do you think I
keep him around me?

- You sure about that?
- Solid as a fucking rock.

He's not Albanian, my friend.

I don't give a fuck
if he's Albanian or not.

I babysat that kid
when he was a kid.

- Oh yeah?
- Yeah.

People could talk all they want.

All right, talk means nothing.

You have to prove
your fucking loyalty.

You have to prove
your fucking respect.

I've been around
enough people to know.

That's not what
loyalty is, Leon.

That's not what loyalty is.

If he's not afraid of death,

then he's not afraid of life.

That's what I see in him.

People don't realize this.

You think, with all your heart,

you think that he would
take a bullet for you

without thinking about it
in the blink of an eye?

Do you really,
really believe that?

No way.

Number one, he can't
work for anybody.

No, no, he'll
never work, period.

He can't work for anybody, okay?

- He'll never work.
- Forget about that.

But he's not for work.

He's a hustler.

He hustles.

He likes to go out drinking.

He was always like that.

But recently...

He was never careless.

He started hanging out with
these new people, like Vinny.

Hanging out with
these new people,

like who the fuck
are these people?

Who the fuck are
these people, man?

I don't know who the
fuck these people are.

Why, because they're there...

I just show him respect
'cause that's Leon's boy...

'Cause they're good
drinking buddies,

now it's your fucking best
friend in the whole world?

Yeah, I guess so.

That's what happens, overnight.

'Cause that's
your drinking buddy?

What the fuck is up, dude?

Leon's alright bro back there?

Yeah, he's good, bro.

We're all here for you, brother.

- You gotta know that.
- Man, fuck you.

You gotta know that, bro.

Where's my friends?

Where's my friends, huh?

- We're here.
- Yeah?

- We're right fucking here.
- Where, where are you?

Leon.

Leon.

Listen, I'm sorry, bro, I know
you're all fucked up, man.

I know you wanted
the motherfucker,

and we let him slip through
our fucking hands, man.

- I'm sorry.
- Shut the fuck up, bro.

All right, don't bug

This is what I gotta go through?

This is what my life
has turned out to be?

Fucking motherfucker!

Let this motherfucker...
Leon, Leon.

Fuck you!

There's the right
way to do things.

The smart way to do things...
Please, bro.

If something needed
to be taken care of,

it woulda been taken care of.

I don't care about no cameras...

Vinny, Vinny, Vinny,
take it easy, Vinny.

You're the one that
ruined that night.

Fuck outta here.

You niggas are treating me
like a fucking stepchild.

Why, 'cause I'm Italian?

You motherfuckers
ordered the guy a drink.

Yo Koja,

I don't even know how this
kid came in here bro...

What the fuck is that?

My man I told you,
you ruined everything.

You ruined it.

If that job was
supposed to get done,

what are you stopping me for?

- I woulda ended it right there.
- It's not your place.

Leon wanted to do it, not us.

That rat ain't supposed
to fucking even be near us!

Buy him a drink!

Keep him there!

What the fuck is wrong with you!

It's about family, it's
about honor, respect.

You have no fucking
clue about that...

- 'Fuck outta here.
- Leon, calm your boy down.

You shoulda been
a fucking author.

Leon, calm your
fucking boy down, cuz.

With your stories, bro.

Get the fuck outta here.

(dramatic music)

(Bear and Koja speaking
foreign language)

Yo, I know what the

You don't fuck with me?

You don't fuck with me?

Drop me off, you fucking faggot!

Yo, my man.

Get me the fuck out this car.

I'm tired of you and

You washed up gangsters,

(Koja and Bear peaking
foreign language)

What's up?

What's the problem?

What do you want to sit
here and talk about?

You wanna know what
I want to talk about?

Wanna know what I
wanna talk about, huh?

I wanna fuck...

- Listen to me.
- Do me a favor.

You're getting

- You're fucking lucky...
- Who's getting lucky?

Yo, you're fucking lucky
Leon vouched for you, bro.

You're fucking lucky.

'Cause me, I don't fucking,
you're not Albanian,

I don't fucking trust you.

I don't like you, I
don't fucking trust you.

You don't gotta like me, dude.

I don't run around with
you, I run around for him.

How you let that rat go?

- How you let that rat go?
- I didn't let him go.

Yeah, you let him go.

Nigga, he was paying his bill.

You know why, 'cause you're
a fucking hothead, that's why.

Yeah, am I a
spic, am I fuckin nigga?

Don't talk to me like
I'm some stepchild.

- I'm white just like you are.

I'll talk to you the way I
wanna fucking talk to you.

Stop getting in my face, dude.

- Alright?
- Stop getting in my face.

Who're you talking

Who the fuck you

Yo, you better
watch your mouth, bro.

You better have some
respect, motherfucker.

You been getting real
fucking testy lately, bro.

- Yeah.
- Real testy.

You know Leon's not

He ain't gonna save you

Save me?

Wow.

Come over here, lemme

Stop putting your hands on me.

- I'm telling you right now.

Don't talk to me like...

Hey, what do you wanna drink?

Lemme get a shot of Raki Rrushi.

I'll take a Heineken.

You know that already.

Everybody laughs in

kiss you on the cheek,

but behind the back they

How many times are

You don't think there

What the fuck is wrong with you?

You're a fucking mess.

This fucking bitch,

Nothing's going right.

So who cares about

I care about her, bro.

(cellphone ringing)

Thank you very much.

Cheers my boy.

This place is dead

He's afraid of his life.

He's not gonna show up.

Somethings not right, Leon.

You go sit over there.

Dude, we need to

- No we don't.
- Forget about him.

Forget about him.

He don't give a

You think he gives a

He's bugging the fuck out.

He lost his fucking mind.

Look what he's doing.

What the fuck

Look at you!

You worried about

How 'bout us, you

Yeah, you just sit there,

You're a fucking embarrassment.

But I still fucking love you.

(dramatic music)

He's about to have a kid.

Bear, he's about to have a kid.

Don't talk shit about Michelle.

- What's up with that?
- It could be yours.

- What about it?
- It could be mine.

- No, it's not mine.
- Watch your mouth.

Stop talking shit like that.

You're such a lowlife.

- Both of youse, I swear.
- It might be Jamal's, bro.

Believe me, it's not mine.

Yo, I'm gonna
tell you something.

If that kid turns
out to be mine,

I'm gonna fucking
beat both of youse up.

We're not gonna talk anymore.

We're not gonna be
friends anymore.

Leave her alone.

Don't worry about it.

Every month you're
gonna get a bill.

Cuz, what are you doing
with that girl anyway, bro?

- I don't understand.
- We all like her.

Ah yeah I love her.

She's my best
fucking friend, bro.

She's my fucking best friend.

Shut the fuck up.

(dramatic music)

She thought she had me.

She's like, "Yeah, I got
this motherfucker," cuz.

- She's like, "Yeah."
- Well, she did.

He's a John, he's a John.

He probably fucking
ate her out for free.

She thought she had me.

Actually, Yeah, I got
this, she don't, she don't.

She's like, "I got
this motherfucker."

Lisa.

You've been calling me all day.

'Cause I fucking miss you.

Lisa.

(gun fires)

Oh shit, go, go, go, go.

No, no, no, no.

Leon.

Leon, yo, stay with me.

Leon, answer me!

Motherfucker, man, fuck!

Yo, stay with me.

Please don't die on me.

Yo, Leon, look at me, please.

Yo, yo, we gotta go, man!

(sirens blaring in distance)

(gentle music)

Marko.

How you doing brother.

Sit down.

Thank you.

(hip-hop music)

Waiter!

(speaking foreign language)

(hip-hop music)

This is raki.

In Italian, they call it grappa.

Salut.

(hip-hop music)

(gun fires)

(hip-hop music)

If you grew up Albanian, right?

You had to be tough.

Your parents taught
you to be tough.

Like my father told me,

"don't you ever come,
if you lose a fight,

"don't you dare
fucking come home.

"Unless you beat the
shit out of that kid"

"worse than he beat
the shit out of you."

"Then you could come home."

You had to be tough,
you had no choice.

There was a point of where
we had to be established.

We had to establish ourselves.

Yeah, we had to make a name.

You can't be pushed around.

Because in all
honesty, in America,

a lot of, a lot of, you know,

you go to a lot of
these neighborhoods,

bad, not bad, I'm not
gonna say it, but mainly...

- Not America, New York.
- In New York.

Well, no, in America too.

America they don't
know shit in the Midwest.

They're a bunch of
corn-fried motherfuckers.

Yeah, but they think
white people are pussies.

That's what they think.

Well look, I spent
five years in the joint.

Until you come to the Bronx,
and you run into Albanians.

Yeah.

(hip-hop music)

Every time we went out,
there was always something.

Something, something, we
always started something.

We didn't start
it, we finished it.

Ah, come on, we
started a lot of it too.

You guys started it.

Not me.

I don't really start
problems, I just finish 'em.

That's what I said.

- Isn't that what I said?
- Yeah.

(hip-hop music)
