MONDAY MORNING:

A.J. calls Vito enroute for T-Storage Rental Compound Offices to meet him after slipping out of Jeni Fazio's house shortly before dawn.

A.J. told Vito to bring some "Blow" w/ him:
"I need a Blast & a double espresso!" A.J. admits. 

The two Young Soprano Brothers had to load a moving truck rental w/the Russian frozen semen tanks to return to rightly owner.

Vito drove them in the rental truck from Newark to Jersey City waterfront where they will meet Valery Baganov & his son Dmitri.

They followed them to the warehouse district to dock their truck & unload to account for the sealed semen tank lids. There were twleve tanks instead of ten as A.J. had previously believed. Which would prove to be all for the better. 

Then Valery pointed out an idling helicopter outside of the warehouse on a small concrete landing-pad. The two men would board the helicopter & leave Vito & Dmitri behind w/the truck & the returned semen canisters.



RUSSIAN CARGO SHIP

MOORED
HUDSON RIVER


The helicopter lifted off as the sun was beginning to crest above the NYC skyscrapers to leave the Jersey Shores & fly out to a Russian Cargo Ship moored in the Hudson River. 

The entire flight took less then ten minutes before landing upon a ship-deck pad where they were greeted by two large middle-aged Russian men.


VIKTOR KLEIV

RUSSIAN MOBSTER


Viktor Kleiv & his younger brother & Captain of the Ship named "Keel". The two men were both Valery's uncles on his mother's side of the family.

The two Russian Mobsters were human traffickers while smuggling  contraband weapons ammo & drugs from Europe & South America to the United States.



"KEEL"

RUSSIAN CARGO SHIP
CAPTAIN


The four men went below board to the ship office for an informal sit-down. They began by saluting glasses of volka.

"Our nephew calls you his Comrade & has told us many good things about you--So any Comrade of Valery is a Comrade of Our's--Son of Anthony Soprano." Viktor acknowledged A.J.



VALERY BAGANOV

RUSSIAN MOBSTER


"Valery has told us that you have returned ten semen tanks that belong to us--Yes?"

"NO." (NO?)
"No--We returned twelve." (Twelve?!)

"Yes.--Twelve. I had miscounted & discovered my error when we recounted while we were loading."



TWELVE RUSSIAN 

FROZEN SEMEN TANKS


"GOOD!--You are a Honest Man Son of Anthony Soprano! I knew that there were 12 canisters missing but we were pleased when our nephew notified us of locating ten." Viktor raises his empty glass for Valery to refill & nodded towards A.J. to have a second glass w/him.

"Valery has said that you found the tanks inside a delinquent storage unit rental--Yes?" (Yes.)

"& There was Nothing else in this storage unit you may have overlooked as you initially miscounted the tanks?!" Viktor pointedly asked.

"There was Nothing Else.--I am certain." A.J. calmly answered as he felt a Spike.

"You see Son of Anthony Soprano the man who was entrusted w/these semen tanks & other contraband has since disappeared & gone missing.

But each of these tanks you've returned are worth as much as 1M$ each to the proper buyer. & They will compensate us for all of the weapons & drugs that have been lost. So--We are grateful for your Honesty!"

A.J. feels a second Spike w/ his Russian host's blunt remarks. But A.J. continues to keep his composure & calm demeanor in spite of his flaring sensitivities.



VIKTOR KLEIV

RUSSIAN MOBSTER


Viktor gives A.J. a tour below board of the ship &  He tells A.J. before he & Valery left to return to the Jersey Shores that he will compensate him for his time & effort as a gesture of goodwill w/ Hopes they could conduct business together in the future.

A.J. agrees & shakes hands w/ the two Russian Brothers as he boarded the helicopter to leave the cargo ship & return to the New Jersey mainland.



400 CASES OF

RUSSIAN VOLKA


When A.J. returned to meet Vito at the truck he found that it had been loaded w/ 400 cases of Russian Volka plus 20 Kilos of Cocaine from Brazil & a large leather briefcase w/100K$ of Russian paper Currency. 


100K$

RUSSIAN CURRENCY 

Also--Viktor had returned Livia Soprano's old vintage record collection that he had bought from Svetlana with an antique gramophone record-paper.



"CHRIST--LETS GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE V!"

A.J. lights a red-pack cigarette as he pointed Forward out the dirty windshield while running his hand through his greasy hair.

"Goddamn Vito--I'm hungry as Fuck!"
