85. Put to death the earthly things in you.Copy !req
86. Immorality. Impurity. Passion.
Vengeance.Copy !req
87. The Lord has forgiven you.Copy !req
88. You also must forgive.Copy !req
89. You go forth to a country
torn apart by civil strife.Copy !req
90. Thank you, Reverend.Copy !req
91. Lend your hand
to the work that yet remains,Copy !req
92. that this war may end,Copy !req
93. and the plague of slaveryCopy !req
94. that brought this
conflagration down upon usCopy !req
95. vanish forever from the Earth.Copy !req
96. In the second year
of the Great Civil War,Copy !req
97. when the Irish Brigade
marched through the streets,Copy !req
98. New York was a city full of tribes.Copy !req
99. War chiefs.Copy !req
100. Rich and poor.Copy !req
101. Lincoln will make
all white men slaves!Copy !req
102. It wasn't a city, really.Copy !req
103. It was more a furnace.
Where a city somedayCopy !req
104. might be forged.Copy !req
105. That's the spirit, boys.Copy !req
106. Go off and die for your blackie friends.Copy !req
107. We should have run a better man
against LincolnCopy !req
108. when we had the chance.Copy !req
109. New York to secede
from the Union!Copy !req
110. Are you trying to say
we're no different than niggers?Copy !req
111. - You ain't.
- Good evening, brother.Copy !req
112. God save the Union!
The Union forever!Copy !req
113. Go back to Africa, niggers!Copy !req
114. Africa!Copy !req
115. The angriest talk
was of the new Conscription Act.Copy !req
116. The first draft in Union history.Copy !req
117. Join the army, lads.Copy !req
118. Three square meals a day
and good pay.Copy !req
119. When the Irish came,
the city was in a fever.Copy !req
120. Since the time of the Great Famine,
they'd come streaming off the boats.Copy !req
121. And they got a right warm welcome.Copy !req
122. Go back to Ireland, you dumb Mick!Copy !req
123. - You'll remember that, you bog eyes!
- Get back on the boat, Paddy!Copy !req
124. I only came two hours
downriver from Hellgate,Copy !req
125. but they all took me for an immigrant.Copy !req
126. Why not?Copy !req
127. There were a thousand
different accents in New York,Copy !req
128. and to the Natives, you see,
it was all the same.Copy !req
129. Tammany's here to take the chill off
your soul and the weight off your heart.Copy !req
130. Welcome to America, son.
Your long, arduous journey is over.Copy !req
131. Go back to your own country.
- Vote Tammany!Copy !req
132. America for Americans!Copy !req
133. New York loved
William Tweed, and hated him.Copy !req
134. And those of us trying to be thieves...
We couldn't help but admire him.Copy !req
135. Mr. Cutting. Gentlemen.Copy !req
136. - Thank you for coming. It's an honor.
- Mr. Tweed.Copy !req
137. Sir. Please. Excuse me?
I think you're frightening them.Copy !req
138. So?Copy !req
139. Don't mind him,
he used to be an Irishman.Copy !req
140. Ah, the Five Points!
Murderer's Alley. Brickbat Mansion.Copy !req
141. The Gates of Hell!Copy !req
142. It is here, in this vile place...Copy !req
143. Look upon the face of this poor child.Copy !req
144. She lives in squalor,Copy !req
145. in this Godforsaken den of
vice and misery behind me...Copy !req
146. Every year the reformers came.Copy !req
147. Every year the Points got worse.Copy !req
148. AS if it liked being dirty.Copy !req
149. Where am I going to go?
Move.Copy !req
150. - The Reverend wants you out of here.
He can't do that!Copy !req
151. Come on, you filthy tosser!Copy !req
152. Move!Copy !req
153. from the filthy densCopy !req
154. to which these miserable creatures
have fallen.Copy !req
155. In God they will find their true home.Copy !req
156. You may or may not know, Bill,Copy !req
157. that every day I go down
to the waterfrontCopy !req
158. with hot soup for the Irish
as they come ashore.Copy !req
159. - As part of building a political base.
I've noticed you there.Copy !req
160. - You may have noticed me.
- Indeed,I have!Copy !req
161. Throwing torrents of paversCopy !req
162. and withering abuse on every single
person who steps off those boats.Copy !req
163. If only I had the guns, Mr. Tweed,Copy !req
164. I'd shoot each and every one of them
before they set foot on American soil.Copy !req
165. Mulberry StreetCopy !req
166. and Worth.Copy !req
167. Cross and Orange and Little Water.Copy !req
168. Each of the Five Points is a finger.Copy !req
169. When I close my hand,
it becomes a fist.Copy !req
170. And any time that I wish,Copy !req
171. I can turn it against you.Copy !req
172. I understand.
But we're talking about different things.Copy !req
173. I'm talking about civic duty.Copy !req
174. Responsibilities we owe to the people.
Schools and hospitals,Copy !req
175. sewers and utilities,Copy !req
176. Street construction,
repairs and sweeping.Copy !req
177. Business licenses, saloon licenses...Copy !req
178. St. Michael
the Archangel, defend us in battle.Copy !req
179. Be our protector against the snares
and the wickedness of the devil.Copy !req
180. Streetcars, ferries, rubbish disposal.Copy !req
181. There's a power of money
to be made in this city, Bill.Copy !req
182. With your help, the people
must be made to understandCopy !req
183. that all these things are best keptCopy !req
184. within what I like to call
the Tammany family.Copy !req
185. Which is why I am talking aboutCopy !req
186. an alliance between
our two great organizations.Copy !req
187. - You're talking about muscle work.
- That too. Muscle to match our spirit.Copy !req
188. You own the crushers,
get them to do it.Copy !req
189. The police? Oh, no! Jesus, no!Copy !req
190. The appearance of the law
must be upheld.Copy !req
191. Especially while it's being broken.Copy !req
192. Give me the strength
for what I must do.Copy !req
193. Who are you?Copy !req
194. - Hey.
No.Copy !req
195. I said, who are you?
What are you doing here?Copy !req
196. I just like it down here, is all.Copy !req
197. See what's in his pockets, Jimmy.Copy !req
198. Now, look. Look, boys.
I really don't want to fight.Copy !req
199. Don't want to fight?Copy !req
200. Don't worry, son.
Ain't gonna be much of a fight.Copy !req
201. Don't kill me.Copy !req
202. - Where'd you get that?
- I told you I didn't want to fight!Copy !req
203. Why not? Look how good you done.Copy !req
204. You're the Priest's son, aren't you?Copy !req
205. You. Get away from me,
you understand?Copy !req
206. You don't remember me, do you?
I was the one tried to help you.Copy !req
207. - What?
- I was the one tried to help you.Copy !req
208. When the Natives took you.Copy !req
209. - That was you?
- Yeah.Copy !req
210. I thought you was killed.Copy !req
211. They just locked me up,
you know that?Copy !req
212. This long?Copy !req
213. Well, I kept trying to escape, you know.Copy !req
214. They add on time for that.Copy !req
215. So what are you doing back here?Copy !req
216. Guess I missed the place.Copy !req
217. Bowery Boys.Copy !req
218. Get back here!Copy !req
219. The Five Points. Paradise Square!Copy !req
220. The streets here are always
lively of an evening.Copy !req
221. Who are the gangs around now?Copy !req
222. We got the Daybreak Boys
and the Swamp Angels.Copy !req
223. They work the River looting ships.Copy !req
224. The Frog Hollows shanghai sailors
down around the Bloody Angle.Copy !req
225. Shirt Tails was rough for awhile,Copy !req
226. but they become
a bunch of jackrolling dandies,Copy !req
227. lolling around Murderer's Alley
looking like Chinamen.Copy !req
228. Hell-Cat Maggie,
she tried to open her own grog shop.Copy !req
229. But she drunk up all her own liquor
and got throwed out on the street.Copy !req
230. Beautiful.Copy !req
231. Now she's on the lay for anything.Copy !req
232. There's the Plug Uglies, they're from
somewhere deep in the Old Country.Copy !req
233. They got their own language.Copy !req
234. No one understands
what they're saying.Copy !req
235. They love to fight the cops. And the
Night Walkers on Ragpicker's Row.Copy !req
236. They work on their backs
and kill with their hands.Copy !req
237. They're so scurvy,
only the Plug Uglies will talk to them.Copy !req
238. But who knows what they're saying.Copy !req
239. The Slaughter Housers
and the Broadway Twisters,Copy !req
240. they're a fine bunch of bingo boys!Copy !req
241. And the little Forty Thieves.
I used to run with them for a while.Copy !req
242. Till they got took over
by Bendrick the CockroachCopy !req
243. and his red-eyed buggers.Copy !req
244. Bendrick carries a germ.Copy !req
245. If you try to leave the gang,
they say he hacks up blood on you.Copy !req
246. The lime-juicers are nothing
but a bunch of rapacious grab-ups...Copy !req
247. The True Blue Americans
call themselves a gang,Copy !req
248. but all they really do is stand around
on corners, damning England.Copy !req
249. If you believe one word
that the British say, you're a fool.Copy !req
250. Any of them got the sand
of the Dead Rabbits?Copy !req
251. You don't say that name.Copy !req
252. That name died with your...
It's been outlawed.Copy !req
253. When I was in the blockhouse,
the chinks told meCopy !req
254. that the Natives celebrate
their victory every year.Copy !req
255. Is that true?Copy !req
256. Aye, that they do. It's quite the affair.Copy !req
257. The Butcher himself's got
to invite you, or you don't go.Copy !req
258. Look where you're going, Johnny!Copy !req
259. You look stunned and poorly, sir!Copy !req
260. Quite a pair of conversationists,
aren't you!Copy !req
261. Maybe not. We're deep thinkers.Copy !req
262. Well, gentlemen, I leave you
in the grace and favor of the Lord!Copy !req
263. Jenny, finest bludget in all the Points.Copy !req
264. She is a prim-looking star-gazer!Copy !req
265. But I'd check my pockets if I was you,Copy !req
266. because I do believe
she lifted your timepiece.Copy !req
267. I let her take it.Copy !req
268. I let her take things all the time.Copy !req
269. - Is that right?
- Yeah.Copy !req
270. We always liked
a good fire in the Points.Copy !req
271. You could generally pick up
a little swag,Copy !req
272. and if the cops came along,
then you really got a show.Copy !req
273. The Municipal Police fought
the Metropolitan Police.Copy !req
274. The Metropolitan Police,
they fought the street gangs.Copy !req
275. Hurry up, men,
before the Black Joke get there!Copy !req
276. There were 37
amateur fire brigades,Copy !req
277. and they all fought each other.Copy !req
278. The Black Joke
are on their way,Copy !req
279. Tweed, and they'll beat the shite
out of you.Copy !req
280. Okay, boys! Get the hose out!Copy !req
281. Go get 'em, boys!Copy !req
282. Give those Bowery Boys hell!Copy !req
283. Quick,
before there's nothing left!Copy !req
284. Go back to the Bowery, ya bum!Copy !req
285. Stop them. For God's sake,
they're taking everything!Copy !req
286. In your next time of trouble, ma'am,
call on Tammany first!Copy !req
287. But it's not too late.
You can still save my house!Copy !req
288. Let's go!Copy !req
289. I thought you said you was hungry!Copy !req
290. Grab what you can, Johnny.
Let's get out of here!Copy !req
291. May I point out that this building
is burning to ashes?Copy !req
292. And may I point out that this areaCopy !req
293. is the province
of my own Americus fire brigade,Copy !req
294. and that you lot belong
only in the Bowery?Copy !req
295. May I point out that
you're outmanned, outmaneuveredCopy !req
296. and in a moment, outfought?Copy !req
297. Am I?Copy !req
298. There's the Black Joke!
Let's take them on the cobbles!Copy !req
299. Go spill some claret, boys.Copy !req
300. Where's Johnny? Have a nice Mass?Copy !req
301. Clear the way for Bill The Butcher.Copy !req
302. Okay, boys, to work!Copy !req
303. What's the point?Copy !req
304. The fire's near burned
anything of value inside.Copy !req
305. Boys, forget that one.
Next building over.Copy !req
306. Mustn't let it spread!Copy !req
307. - Take what you want from that one.
- What are you doing?Copy !req
308. What are you doing?
There's nothing wrong with this one!Copy !req
309. This is my house.Copy !req
310. Johnny!
JOHNNY; Help!Copy !req
311. Johnny!Copy !req
312. Help!Copy !req
313. Help! Help!Copy !req
314. Help!Copy !req
315. Come on.
Come on, Johnny. Get up! Leave that.Copy !req
316. You two, on your way!Copy !req
317. His name's Amsterdam.Copy !req
318. - How's the beak?
- Ain't so bad.Copy !req
319. You. You got anything,
you can give it up or you get out.Copy !req
320. - Is that it?
- That's it.Copy !req
321. Right. Here's the rake.
Everything comes here, we fence it,Copy !req
322. Johnny takes our tribute to the Natives,
and we chop up the winnings.Copy !req
323. Each to his equal portion
amongst the gang.Copy !req
324. Does that meet
with your approval, Hellgate?Copy !req
325. My approval?Copy !req
326. What's the matter, jack sprat,
can't you think for yourself?Copy !req
327. I'll slit your fucking throat!Copy !req
328. You boys will settle with me
before settling with each other.Copy !req
329. I come for my due and proper.Copy !req
330. Well, this ain't a bad haul.Copy !req
331. You know, when folks start into saying
to where the country's going to hell,Copy !req
332. I always tell them,Copy !req
333. "You just look at all the hard work
our fine young lads is doingCopy !req
334. "down in the Five Points."Copy !req
335. Oh, yeah. Now, this is just the thing
for Mrs. Mulraney.Copy !req
336. All right there, Happy Jack.Copy !req
337. Leave us with something
to quarter to Bill The Butcher, eh?Copy !req
338. Would ya?Copy !req
339. Not my favorite tune.Copy !req
340. Thank you, boys.Copy !req
341. You keep out of trouble, now.Copy !req
342. Every year the Natives
celebrated the killing of my fatherCopy !req
343. all over again.Copy !req
344. At Sparrow's Chinese Pagoda
on Mott Street.Copy !req
345. The chinks hated the Natives
worse than we did.Copy !req
346. The drum rolls,
and the Butcher drinks a glass of fire.Copy !req
347. When you kill a king,
you don't stab him in the dark.Copy !req
348. You kill him where the whole court
can watch him die.Copy !req
349. Hey, you got any timber?Copy !req
350. As I walked down to Chatham StreetCopy !req
351. V'; '71,': V,Copy !req
352. She asked me to see her home
She lived in Bleeker StreetCopy !req
353. To me away, you santee

355. To me away, you santee
My dear Annie!Copy !req
356. Oh, you New York girls
Can't you dance the polka?Copy !req
357. We walked on through Bleeker Street
and stopped at 44Copy !req
358. Her mother and her sister dared
to meet us at the doorCopy !req
359. Hey, Maggie.
Right ear or left ear?Copy !req
360. - Give us a drink, you idiot.
- Help yourself.Copy !req
361. - To health.
Place your bets!Copy !req
362. Two minutes to place your bets.Copy !req
363. Gentlemen!
The match is due to commence.Copy !req
364. The count to beat
is 25 rodents in three minutes.Copy !req
365. Towser against the vermin.
Are the enumerators satisfied?Copy !req
366. Fifty!
- Yes!Copy !req
367. Let them go!Copy !req
368. - Where are you going, boy?
- I'm here to pay tribute to Bill.Copy !req
369. Are you now? Give it to me.
I'll give it to him.Copy !req
370. No, thanks. I'll give it to him myself.Copy !req
371. What do you want to keep,
the money or your teeth, boys'?Copy !req
372. John.Copy !req
373. Welcome.Copy !req
374. From me and me lads, sir.Copy !req
375. Mate of yours? Where's he from?Copy !req
376. Oh, he's not from here, sir.Copy !req
377. You!Copy !req
378. That's close enough!Copy !req
379. Your friend can't look me in the eye.
That's not an admirable characteristic.Copy !req
380. No one can look you in the eye, Bill.
Not when you're playing cards.Copy !req
381. This is whist. This is a gentleman's
game. Make a gentleman's bet.Copy !req
382. - I am betting large, Bill!
- That ain't large.Copy !req
383. Please, don't make
that noise again, Harvey.Copy !req
384. I like a man
who's willing to burn for his swag.Copy !req
385. How do you fare on water?
Come closer.Copy !req
386. Close, John, I ain't gonna bite. Close.Copy !req
387. There's a Portuguese ship
lying low in the harbor.Copy !req
388. Quarantined three weeks.Copy !req
389. Get there before
the Daybreak Boys strip her.Copy !req
390. Maybe you and me will talk some more.Copy !req
391. - Consider it done, sir.
- Good boy.Copy !req
392. And you. Whatever your name is.
What is your name?Copy !req
393. - Amsterdam, sir.
- Amsterdam?Copy !req
394. I'm New York.Copy !req
395. Don't you never
come in here empty-handed again.Copy !req
396. You gotta pay
for the pleasure of my company.Copy !req
397. Take him for a boat ride, John.Copy !req
398. Who knows, but he might
save your life again.Copy !req
399. If the Daybreak Boys catch us
on this river, they'll slit our throats!Copy !req
400. I'll do it myself
in a minute if you don't keep quiet!Copy !req
401. I never liked the harbor after dark.Copy !req
402. And now, each night, they brung
ashore the bodies of the soldiers.Copy !req
403. So many mothers
have not even the solaceCopy !req
404. of knowing
where their sons have fallen.Copy !req
405. I lost my own eldest at Antietam.Copy !req
406. And his mother and I were unable
to recover his remains.Copy !req
407. It was a mournful sight.Copy !req
408. The war can't last forever.Copy !req
409. But we had business of our own.Copy !req
410. The Daybreak Boys have
already been here.Copy !req
411. And there's nothing left.
Let's go back, eh?Copy !req
412. What in hell?Copy !req
413. Jimmy, get down!Copy !req
414. Jesus, that'll bring
the harbor cops for sure!Copy !req
415. Out of the way!Copy !req
416. Let's take a look.Copy !req
417. Jesus, they killed everybody!Copy !req
418. There's nothing here but...Copy !req
419. - Bunch of dead sea crabs.
- Come on. Let's go.Copy !req
420. Shove off!
No. Wait for Amsterdam!Copy !req
421. Where's Amsterdam?Copy !req
422. - Oh, you damn fool! Take him.
- What in the hell for?Copy !req
423. Look in my glims.
I said no less than 15!Copy !req
424. - Wait. Is this fresh?
- Four hours, most.Copy !req
425. Much obliged, gents.Copy !req
426. What's that word?Copy !req
427. - It means body snatchers.
- I didn't ask the meaning.Copy !req
428. - I asked the word.
- Ghoul?Copy !req
429. Ghoul? That's a good word.Copy !req
430. "Ghoul gang slaughters,
a fresh outrage in the Five Points."Copy !req
431. It's a notice you can be proud of.Copy !req
432. - Thank you.
- Low thing, to do that to a body. Low.Copy !req
433. Why? They could've left
that ship with nothing.Copy !req
434. Instead, they made
The Police Gazette.Copy !req
435. A periodical of note.Copy !req
436. A body's supposed to stay
beneath the earth.Copy !req
437. Wearing the wooden coat
until the Resurrection.Copy !req
438. These two are just a pair
of bug-eating sons of Irish bitches,Copy !req
439. same as you are.
Don't seem to bother them none.Copy !req
440. And then, maybe they don't
share your religious scruples.Copy !req
441. Maybe they're just
a couple of Fidlam Bens.Copy !req
442. I've been called a lot of things, mister,
but I've never been called...Copy !req
443. - Fidlam Bens.
- Fidlam Bens. Right.Copy !req
444. Well, if I knew what in the hell
that meant,Copy !req
445. I might be inclined to take offense.Copy !req
446. A Fidlam Bens is a fellow
who steals anything, dead or alive,Copy !req
447. because he's too low to work up
a decent lay for himself.Copy !req
448. Count that careful, Bill. Just...Copy !req
449. - Count it careful.
- I'm telling you, that's all there is.Copy !req
450. - That's all they give us. That's all...
- Now, chiseler...Copy !req
451. If you had said "chiseler,"Copy !req
452. now there's a word
I understand, you know?Copy !req
453. Now, is that what you're calling us?Copy !req
454. I can think of a number of things
to call you, boyo!Copy !req
455. Right. But I asked if you
was calling us chiselers?Copy !req
456. Supposing I am?Copy !req
457. Well, then we got business.Copy !req
458. That we do!Copy !req
459. Fight. There's a fight.Copy !req
460. Two bucks on McGloin!
Four bits on the kid.Copy !req
461. Five bits on the kid!Copy !req
462. I got five on Amsterdam!Copy !req
463. Come on, McGloin,
he's just a kid.Copy !req
464. Four bits to back Amsterdam.Copy !req
465. Watch his left, McGloin! Watch his left.Copy !req
466. All right, that'll do. That'll do.Copy !req
467. Anything to say now, huh?Copy !req
468. That'll do, for Christ's sake.Copy !req
469. - Drag him off.
- That's enough, kid. You got him.Copy !req
470. Come on. You won.
McGloin?Copy !req
471. You're getting too old for it, McGloin.Copy !req
472. McGloin? How would that head look
without the ears and the nose on it?Copy !req
473. You'd better leave that head alone, Bill.Copy !req
474. I think I'm gonna trim the ears
and the beak off of that head.Copy !req
475. Make a nice pot of soup of that head.Copy !req
476. We could find
a tastier head than that, Bill.Copy !req
477. I ain't got the stomach for no Irish stew.Copy !req
478. The mighty McGloin.
Almost fishhooked by a sprat.Copy !req
479. On the seventh day the Lord rested.
But before that he did,Copy !req
480. he squatted over the side of England,
and what came out of himCopy !req
481. was Ireland!Copy !req
482. - No offense, son.
- None taken, sir.Copy !req
483. I grew up here.Copy !req
484. All I ever knew of Ireland was in the talk
of the others at the orphan asylum.Copy !req
485. In which part of that excrementitious
isle were your forebears spawned?Copy !req
486. I've been told Kerry,Copy !req
487. but I lost proof of it in my language
at the asylum.Copy !req
488. I was raised in a very
similar establishment myself.Copy !req
489. Now, everything you see
belongs to me,Copy !req
490. to one degree or another.Copy !req
491. The beggars and newsboys
and quick thieves, here in Paradise,Copy !req
492. sailor dives and gin mills
and blind tigers on the waterfront,Copy !req
493. the anglers and amusers,Copy !req
494. the she-he's and the chinks.Copy !req
495. Everybody owes,
everybody pays, becauseCopy !req
496. that's how you stand up against
the rising of the tide.Copy !req
497. - Is that right, boys?
- Yeah, Bill, that's right.Copy !req
498. Enlist. Join up!
Serve your country.Copy !req
499. Enlist. Join up!
Serve your country.Copy !req
500. Volunteer and get your $50 bonus!Copy !req
501. We need 30,000 volunteers, and we're
prepared to pay $677 per volunteer.Copy !req
502. Please read this. Thank you.Copy !req
503. Would you like to take one of these,
please, to fill out?Copy !req
504. Three square meals a day.Copy !req
505. Three square meals a day.
Young man?Copy !req
506. Enlist and serve your country.Copy !req
507. Three square meals a day, gentlemen.Copy !req
508. If you're interested, I suggest you
read this and consider joining up.Copy !req
509. Everywhere you went,
people talked about the draft.Copy !req
510. Now, you could buy
your way out for $300.Copy !req
511. But who had $300?Copy !req
512. For us, it might as well
have been $3,000,000.Copy !req
513. The recruiters... No, they was too
scared of the gangs to come after us.Copy !req
514. Besides, we never dreamt the war
would ever touch New York.Copy !req
515. Good morning, sir.Copy !req
516. You! Don't you run into me.Copy !req
517. Fair enough.Copy !req
518. I said don't run into me!Copy !req
519. Sorry!Copy !req
520. - Everything in place?
- It seems so.Copy !req
521. Well, then, I leave youCopy !req
522. in the grace and favor of the Lord.Copy !req
523. - That's right.
- Thank you.Copy !req
524. That (my mam!Copy !req
525. - Oh, no! I'm sorry.
- Allow me!Copy !req
526. - Thank you kindly, sir.
- It's my pleasure.Copy !req
527. I hope you won't find me rude if I
speak. I don't want to appear forward.Copy !req
528. Well, sir, that depends
on what you say.Copy !req
529. Would you call me recklessCopy !req
530. if I said that you were
the prettiest girl in New York?Copy !req
531. Only New York?Copy !req
532. This is my stop.Copy !req
533. May I walk with you a little, then?Copy !req
534. That, sir, would be too bold.Copy !req
535. Good morning.Copy !req
536. For every lay,
we had a different name.Copy !req
537. An angler put a hook
on the end of a stickCopy !req
538. to drop behind store windows
and doors.Copy !req
539. An autumn diver
picked your pocket in church.Copy !req
540. A badger gets a fellow
into bed with a girl,Copy !req
541. then robs his pockets
while they're on the go.Copy !req
542. Jenny was a bludget,
a girl pickpocket.Copy !req
543. And a turtledove.Copy !req
544. A turtledove goes uptown
dressed like a housemaid,Copy !req
545. picks out a fine house,
and goes right through the back door.Copy !req
546. Robs you blind.Copy !req
547. It takes a lot of sand to be a turtledove.Copy !req
548. I'll have my medal back.Copy !req
549. Oh, Jesus.Copy !req
550. Don't do that again.
I said, don't do that!Copy !req
551. Go back to the Points,
and leave me to my businessCopy !req
552. or I will open your throat,
so help me God.Copy !req
553. All right.Copy !req
554. Go on, then.Copy !req
555. I would.Copy !req
556. Go on, then.Copy !req
557. Now, give me back my medal.
Make it quick.Copy !req
558. I don't know which one's yours.Copy !req
559. Suppose I help myself
to everything, huh?Copy !req
560. Suppose you do.Copy !req
561. Might I walk with you a little, then?Copy !req
562. What do you suppose
a fellow could earn up here in a clay?Copy !req
563. Maybe we could pile in together?Copy !req
564. Oh, I think you're a bit rough
for this sort of game.Copy !req
565. - Besides, I work alone.
- Alone?Copy !req
566. - What do you quarter to the Butcher?
- Me? Nothing.Copy !req
567. Nothing?Copy !req
568. The Butcher and me
have a special arrangement.Copy !req
569. - I don't want to see you again!
- Well, I don't blame you.Copy !req
570. Pennies in their pockets
and hope in their eyes.Copy !req
571. Pennies in their pockets
and hope in their eyes.Copy !req
572. They peer to the West,Copy !req
573. searching the horizon
for a glimpse of land and salvation.Copy !req
574. A glimpse of America.Copy !req
575. Seeing all this povertyCopy !req
576. must be most unsettling,
Miss Schermerhorn.Copy !req
577. Some days, of course,
the uptown gangs come down to us.Copy !req
578. The Schermerhorns is one
of the oldest families in New York.Copy !req
579. They didn't run the city,Copy !req
580. but they was listened to quite carefully
by them that did.Copy !req
581. Commissioner Brunt said
you wished to view the PointsCopy !req
582. in all its splendor and squalor.Copy !req
583. "Spare nothing
concerning the conditions," said he.Copy !req
584. Yeah, nothing
except our safety, Constable.Copy !req
585. I'm sure we can be in no dangerCopy !req
586. while we're in the constable's
company, my dear.Copy !req
587. Quite so, madam. Witness.Copy !req
588. - Shall we continue on?
- You dare to leave it there?Copy !req
589. Safe as a bank, Mr. Greeley,
since all know it's mine.Copy !req
590. Is that man drunk?Copy !req
591. Dead as Good Friday, miss.Copy !req
592. Good day to you, Mulraney.Copy !req
593. Boys'?
Jack.Copy !req
594. Slum sociable?Copy !req
595. Fact-finding. Reform-studying.
May I present...Copy !req
596. The schermerhorns of Fifth AvenueCopy !req
597. scarcely require
an introduction from you, Jack.Copy !req
598. Mr. And Mrs. Schermerhorn, indeed,
and their daughter.Copy !req
599. - This gentleman, of course, is...
- Mr. Horace Greeley.Copy !req
600. The famous publisher.
A pleasure and an honor, sir.Copy !req
601. - Of The Tribune.
lam William Cutting.Copy !req
602. How do you do, Mr. Cutting?Copy !req
603. As of this moment, extremely well,
thank you. How do you do?Copy !req
604. Orange blossom. Delicious!Copy !req
605. Mr. Cutting is...
- What a peach!Copy !req
606. She could have a fine career
on the stage.Copy !req
607. - ... one of Five Points' local leaders.
- Pleasure to meet you, sir.Copy !req
608. - Mr. Greeley.
- Pleased to meet you, Mr. Cutting.Copy !req
609. Five Points welcomes you.Copy !req
610. You are welcome to these streets,
and will pass in safety.Copy !req
611. Oh, I'll see to their safety.
Thank you, Bill.Copy !req
612. Here we are. Good day, lads.Copy !req
613. - Criminals' braggadocio, you see.
- He knows who I am!Copy !req
614. Oh, indeed, sir.
You're well-known in these parts.Copy !req
615. I must say that I find that
strangely flattering.Copy !req
616. - Never did like crushers.
- Well, draw it mild, son.Copy !req
617. Happy Jack don't fill his lungs
without I tell him he may do so.Copy !req
618. Do you think my watch would be safe
up on that lamppost, Bill?Copy !req
619. Why don't you hang it up there
and see?Copy !req
620. Someday.Copy !req
621. Someday is right.Copy !req
622. This a new lad?Copy !req
623. Just another bastard son of Erin
I folded in the warmth of my embrace.Copy !req
624. Hey!
- Just want to see your face, son.Copy !req
625. No harm intended.Copy !req
626. You get to know a lot,
butchering meat.Copy !req
627. We're made up of the same things.
Flesh and blood. Tissue. Organs.Copy !req
628. I love to work with pigs.Copy !req
629. The nearest thing in nature
to the flesh of a manCopy !req
630. is the flesh of a pig.Copy !req
631. - Pig, huh?
- That's right.Copy !req
632. This is for you, Mother.Copy !req
633. Here you go.Copy !req
634. - God bless you, Mr. Cutting.
- God bless you.Copy !req
635. - She ain't really my mother.
I knew that, Bill.Copy !req
636. This is the liver.Copy !req
637. The kidneys. The heart.Copy !req
638. This is a wound.
The stomach will bleed and bleed.Copy !req
639. This is a kill. This is a kill.Copy !req
640. Main artery. This is a kill.Copy !req
641. You try.Copy !req
642. Go ahead.Copy !req
643. Lung, good.
Don't foul the blade on the rib.Copy !req
644. Very good. Main artery.Copy !req
645. Bleed him slow.
Let him think about it for awhile.Copy !req
646. Slow death. Good.Copy !req
647. You will each bill the city
$5,000 a monthCopy !req
648. for supplies and services,
of which you will receive 10%.Copy !req
649. Bill!Copy !req
650. Mr. Killoran will work out the details.
Thank you, gentlemen.Copy !req
651. That's how we do things
around Tammany, gentlemen.Copy !req
652. Who's this, then?Copy !req
653. Thank you, boys.
- Good day, sir.Copy !req
654. You got something on your mind?Copy !req
655. Bill's taken quite a liking to you.Copy !req
656. Now if you're up to something, bene.Copy !req
657. Only I don't want no part in it.Copy !req
658. I was in Hellgate for 16 years.Copy !req
659. I'm just trying to make my way,
is all, just like you.Copy !req
660. Unless, of course,
you got a better notion?Copy !req
661. Bill, I can't get a day's work doneCopy !req
662. for all the good citizens coming in here
to harass me about crime in the Points.Copy !req
663. Some even go so far
as to accuse Tammany of connivanceCopy !req
664. in this so-called "rampant criminality."Copy !req
665. What am I to do? I can't have this.
Something has to be done.Copy !req
666. - What do you have in mind?
- I don't know.Copy !req
667. I think maybe
we should hang someone.Copy !req
668. - Who?
- No one important, necessarily.Copy !req
669. Average men will do.Copy !req
670. Back-alley amusers with no affiliations.Copy !req
671. - How many?
- Three or four.Copy !req
672. - Which?
- Four.Copy !req
673. You stand here convicted varyinglyCopy !req
674. of lewdness, jackrolling,
sneak thievery,Copy !req
675. chloral hydrating, sodomy,Copy !req
676. strangulation and enthusiastic
corruption of the public good.Copy !req
677. We all go someday, right?Copy !req
678. Chin up.
Handsome bunch of gallows fruit.Copy !req
679. There's my old friend.
How are you feeling, Arthur?Copy !req
680. I'm okay. I'm okay, you know.Copy !req
681. Oh, say hello to Amsterdam.Copy !req
682. Nearly fishhooked McGloin
the other day.Copy !req
683. - How do you do?
- Nearly!Copy !req
684. I see you dressed
for the occasion, Arthur.Copy !req
685. You know me, Bill.
Always like to look me best, you know.Copy !req
686. That's the spirit.Copy !req
687. It's a nice locket.
I'll give you a dollar for it.Copy !req
688. - It's me mother's.
- Dollar and a half?Copy !req
689. Done.Copy !req
690. We'll miss you, Arthur.
See you in the heart country, Seamus.Copy !req
691. Is my son present here?Copy !req
692. Where's my little fellow?Copy !req
693. Look at your da.Copy !req
694. Farewell, dear boy.Copy !req
695. I never struck a foul blow
nor turned a card.Copy !req
696. May God greet me as a friend!Copy !req
697. That night the reformers held a dance.Copy !req
698. That was the Five Points, all right,Copy !req
699. hangings of a morning,
dancings of an evening.Copy !req
700. Not sure, mess“, but...Copy !req
701. It's not a matter of words,
I can tell by the way she smiles at me.Copy !req
702. - She smiles at a lot of people, John.
Sir!Copy !req
703. You don't know her.Copy !req
704. A penny of gratitude
for a fighting Irishman, young sir?Copy !req
705. - You from Kerry?
- I am, sir. Lam.Copy !req
706. - It ain't much.
- Thank you, sir. Thank you.Copy !req
707. Ladies and gentlemen,Copy !req
708. we are delighted
to see so many young facesCopy !req
709. at our first annual Mission dance.Copy !req
710. This will be a real balum rancum, eh?Copy !req
711. The Mission welcomes
Christians of every stamp,Copy !req
712. and we are particularly happy
to greet our Roman Catholic friends,Copy !req
713. who join us here tonight.Copy !req
714. Ladies, come with me. Come with me.Copy !req
715. We're going to start the dancing
in just a moment.Copy !req
716. Good evening, Reverend.
- Good evening, Your Holiness.Copy !req
717. Good evening, Reverend.Copy !req
718. it looks as though
you should have shaved closer.Copy !req
719. Good evening, Reverend.
I do beg your pardon.Copy !req
720. Miss...Copy !req
721. Uh...Copy !req
722. - Everdeane.
- Miss Everdeane.Copy !req
723. Now, gentlemen, over here,
if you don't mind.Copy !req
724. Thank you. Open it. Hold it up.Copy !req
725. Into the mirror.Copy !req
726. That one!Copy !req
727. Our queen has chosen.Copy !req
728. Sir, your lady!Copy !req
729. Right.Copy !req
730. Regular services are held at the church
at 6:00 and 8:00.Copy !req
731. Go to hell.Copy !req
732. - What do you think you're doing?
- I'm dancing.Copy !req
733. - I said Why'd you pick me?
- That's none of your business.Copy !req
734. Would you mind telling me?Copy !req
735. Sorry.Copy !req
736. God damn it.Copy !req
737. Sorry.Copy !req
738. - I'm not much of a dancer.
- Just try to keep calm.Copy !req
739. I ain't never been
to a stepping ken before!Copy !req
740. It's best not to look down.Copy !req
741. You can hold me tighter if you'd like.Copy !req
742. - All right?
- Aye.Copy !req
743. So why didn't you dance with Johnny?Copy !req
744. BecauseCopy !req
745. I didn't want him.Copy !req
746. I'm not wanting this.Copy !req
747. - Wait. Wait.
- What?Copy !req
748. How does this open?Copy !req
749. It takes too long to lace back up.
We'll be here all night.Copy !req
750. Sure. All right. I'll take it off.Copy !req
751. There was a baby. They cut it out.Copy !req
752. Sorry.Copy !req
753. It's fine.Copy !req
754. Have you got any scars?Copy !req
755. One or two.Copy !req
756. - What's that, then?
- That?Copy !req
757. It's a gift from Mr. Cutting.Copy !req
758. A Sift?Copy !req
759. A gift.Copy !req
760. - Was it your birthday?
No.Copy !req
761. What'd you give him, then?Copy !req
762. The answer to that
has nothing to do with you.Copy !req
763. Don't tell me you're angry with me?Copy !req
764. No. I'm through with you.Copy !req
765. Well, you're quicker than most fellows.
Generally they wait till afterwards!Copy !req
766. Well, I ain't interested
in the Butcher's leavings.Copy !req
767. Listen! Keep clear of the pikers,
15 to one, Bug-Eye Moran.Copy !req
768. Amsterdam!Copy !req
769. Everyone was working for the Butcher.Copy !req
770. We ran his errands, made his money,Copy !req
771. took a piece
and said, "Thank you, sir."Copy !req
772. Gentlemen, it's a raid.Copy !req
773. Even Tweed.Copy !req
774. The fight's over!Copy !req
775. Even me.Copy !req
776. My father's son.Copy !req
777. - What the hell is this?
- Sorry, Bill.Copy !req
778. The city ordinance against boxiana's
a blight, I grant you.Copy !req
779. But some appearance of order...Copy !req
780. I'm losing revenue while you speechify.Copy !req
781. Get out there and collect those bets.Copy !req
782. How do I collect
if no one won the fight?Copy !req
783. This counts as a "no decision."
You've got that covered, right?Copy !req
784. Didn't anybody pay off
the goddamn police?Copy !req
785. We paid the Municipal Police.
This is the Metropolitan Police.Copy !req
786. - You are going to repay me every cent.
- Mr. Tweed.Copy !req
787. - Who asked for your opinion?
- Let him speak!Copy !req
788. We don't answer to you.Copy !req
789. The law says that there's no boxing
in the city, is that right?Copy !req
790. - That's right, in the city.
- Well, where does the city end?Copy !req
791. The winner,
in the 75th round...Copy !req
792. Allow me to acknowledge the man
whose vision and enterpriseCopy !req
793. made possible
the staging of this noble combatCopy !req
794. in these awe-inspiring
and entirely legal surroundings,Copy !req
795. Mr. William Cutting!Copy !req
796. And... And his young associate.Copy !req
797. That's you, boy.Copy !req
798. Come on. Get in there.Copy !req
799. You done very well.
How do you like them apples?Copy !req
800. We done good. We done all right.Copy !req
801. And while I have
your kind attention...Copy !req
802. It was a good show.Copy !req
803. May I remind you
of the further wonders that await youCopy !req
804. at my museum, located on Broadway.Copy !req
805. P.T. Barnum's Gallery of Wonders!Copy !req
806. That's my money.Copy !req
807. Get your hands
out of me pockets.Copy !req
808. It's a funny feeling,
being took under the wing of a dragon.Copy !req
809. It's warmer than you think.Copy !req
810. That's the building of our country
right there, Mr. Cutting.Copy !req
811. Americans aborning.Copy !req
812. I don't see no Americans.
I see trespassers.Copy !req
813. Irish harps will do a job for a nickel
what a nigger does for a dime,Copy !req
814. and a white man
used to get a quarter for.Copy !req
815. What have they done?
Name one thing they've contributed!Copy !req
816. - Votes!
- Votes, you say?Copy !req
817. They vote how the Archbishop tells
them, and who tells the Archbishop?Copy !req
818. Their king in the pointy hat
what sits on his throne in Rome.Copy !req
819. Bill's got mixed feelings
as regards the Irish.Copy !req
820. Bill, deliver these good and fervent folk
to the polls on a regular basis,Copy !req
821. and there will be a handsome price for
each vote that goes Tammany's way.Copy !req
822. My father gave his life
making this country what it is.Copy !req
823. Murdered by the British with
all of his men on the 25th of July,Copy !req
824. anno Domini 1814.Copy !req
825. You think I'm gonna help you
befoul his legacy?Copy !req
826. By giving this country over to themCopy !req
827. what's had no hand
in the fighting for it?Copy !req
828. Why? Because they come off a boat
crawling with liceCopy !req
829. and begging you for soup?Copy !req
830. You're a great one for the fighting, Bill,
I know, but you can't fight forever.Copy !req
831. - I can go down doing it.
- And you will.Copy !req
832. What did you say?Copy !req
833. I said you're turning your back
on the future.Copy !req
834. Not our future.Copy !req
835. That document makes you a citizen,Copy !req
836. this one makes you a private
in the Union army.Copy !req
837. Now go fight for your country.Copy !req
838. Next.Copy !req
839. Well, meself and a hundred moreCopy !req
840. Sign here, son, or make your mark.Copy !req
841. to America sailed o'erCopy !req
842. Our fortunes to be made
we were thin kin 'Copy !req
843. When we got to Yankee land
They shoved a gun into our handsCopy !req
844. Saying, "Paddy, you must go
and fight for Lincoln"Copy !req
845. There's your musket.
Make sure you keep it dry on the boat.Copy !req
846. Same for the cartridge case.Copy !req
847. Where we going?
I heard Tennessee.Copy !req
848. Where's that?Copy !req
849. There is nothing here but war
Where the murdering cannons roarCopy !req
850. And I wish I was at home
in dear old DublinCopy !req
851. Do they feed us now,
do you think?Copy !req
852. My children, my children.Copy !req
853. We must heal the divisions between us!Copy !req
854. This war must cease.Copy !req
855. North and South must stand united.Copy !req
856. What happens at the finish, then?Copy !req
857. Then we have ourselves a rowdydow!Copy !req
858. Ain't you never been
to the theater before?Copy !req
859. Mr. Legree, lay down your whip.Copy !req
860. Miss Eliza, join hands with Mr. Shelby.Copy !req
861. And Topsy, clear little Topsy.
Cradle Uncle Tom's head.Copy !req
862. Leave the nigger dead.Copy !req
863. Get me down!Copy !req
864. Down with the Union!Copy !req
865. - Down with the Union!
- Down with the Union!Copy !req
866. - Down with the Union!
- Down with the Union!Copy !req
867. For the blood of the Irish.
- Bill, get down!Copy !req
868. Somebody's popped the Butcher!Copy !req
869. Stifle that rat bastard down!Copy !req
870. God forgive me.Copy !req
871. Whose man are you?
Speak smart and speak up!Copy !req
872. What's he saying, boy?Copy !req
873. I think he's making his peace with God.Copy !req
874. To hell with that!
He makes his peace with me.Copy !req
875. I'm hearing confession tonight,
you motherwhoring Irish nigger!Copy !req
876. Whose man are you?Copy !req
877. We speak English in this country.
Whose man are you?Copy !req
878. You see this knife?Copy !req
879. I'm gonna teach you to speak English
with this fucking knife!Copy !req
880. Whose man are you?Copy !req
881. Whose man are you?Copy !req
882. Well, that didn't tell us very much.Copy !req
883. Fine waistcoat.Copy !req
884. Shame about it,
I don't think it can be mended!Copy !req
885. Will I keep it as a souvenir?Copy !req
886. Where's Legree? Where's Mopsy?Copy !req
887. Tragedians, let's continue.
Intermission is over.Copy !req
888. - Now that was bloody Shakespearean.
- What?Copy !req
889. Do you know
who Shakespeare was, sonny?Copy !req
890. He was the fellow
who wrote the King James Bible.Copy !req
891. Mister, I don't know
what in the hell you're talking about.Copy !req
892. Because you're a thick,
ignorant, barbarous Irish whelp!Copy !req
893. Just like your father.Copy !req
894. That's it! That's it!Copy !req
895. Tear my head off
and destruct the world.Copy !req
896. Just like the rest of the stupid Irish
in this country.Copy !req
897. That's why I never ran with your dad.Copy !req
898. Get off me, you crazy bastard!Copy !req
899. it means, "if you're not strong,
you'd better be smart."Copy !req
900. Now I don't know
if you're being too clever or too dumb.Copy !req
901. But whichever it is,
just remember this much.Copy !req
902. For all his faults, your father was a man
who loved his people.Copy !req
903. Amsterdam. Amsterdam.
New York is calling you.Copy !req
904. Look at that.
What in Christ's name is that?Copy !req
905. Rhythms of the Dark Continent,Copy !req
906. thrown into the kettle
with an Irish shindig.Copy !req
907. Stir it around a few times,
pour it out as a fine American mess.Copy !req
908. A jig doing a jig!Copy !req
909. A little keepsake.Copy !req
910. - Good on you, sir.
Come upstairs with me, Bill.Copy !req
911. Have I ever had you before?Copy !req
912. So you don't call me
by my Christian name.Copy !req
913. Bill! Thank God you're all right!Copy !req
914. I heard the news
and came over as quick as I could.Copy !req
915. Or as timely as the angel of death.Copy !req
916. Bill, you're not suggesting that I
would stoop to what you're suggesting?Copy !req
917. Stop slabbering.Copy !req
918. If I thought it was you,
you would be in a wooden coat.Copy !req
919. Now I got a hole in my shoulder
and it hurts,Copy !req
920. so have a drink and shut up,
or shut up and get out.Copy !req
921. I believe I'll have a drink.Copy !req
922. Careful, Tweedy,
the mort's Frenchified!Copy !req
923. No, no! I'm clean. Come on.
Let's go to the bar.Copy !req
924. - Jenny.
- Bill.Copy !req
925. Let's wrap you up.Copy !req
926. It's gotta be tight.Copy !req
927. Loves to make me cry.Copy !req
928. You can take it!Copy !req
929. There's my boy.Copy !req
930. It's all right. It's all right.Copy !req
931. To the Butcher!Copy !req
932. We're all much obliged.Copy !req
933. Forever.Copy !req
934. To the Butcher!
To the Butcher!Copy !req
935. Why don't you get out of here, Johnny?Copy !req
936. Go on. Go!Copy !req
937. Is there anyone in the Five Points
you haven't fucked?Copy !req
938. Yes! You!Copy !req
939. Bow down!Copy !req
940. Try it and I'll bite you.Copy !req
941. If you were gonna bite me,Copy !req
942. - I don't think you'd warn me, huh?
- Find out!Copy !req
943. Oh, Jenny. Oh, Jenny.Copy !req
944. I can't sleep.Copy !req
945. I... Hope you don't mind us
laying out tonight here, sir?Copy !req
946. Whatever takes your fancy,
my young friend.Copy !req
947. Is it your shoulder
that's keeping you up?Copy !req
948. No, I don't never sleep too much.Copy !req
949. I have to sleep with one eye open.
I only got one eye, right?Copy !req
950. How old are you, Amsterdam?Copy !req
951. I'm not too sure. Never did figure it.Copy !req
952. I'm 47.Copy !req
953. Forty-seven years old.Copy !req
954. You know how I stayed alive this long?
All these years?Copy !req
955. Fear.Copy !req
956. The spectacle of fearsome acts.Copy !req
957. If somebody steals from me,
I cut off his hands.Copy !req
958. He offends me, I cut out his tongue.Copy !req
959. He rises against me,
I cut off his head, stick it on a pike.Copy !req
960. Raise it high up,
so all in the streets can see.Copy !req
961. That's what
preserves the order of things.Copy !req
962. Fear.Copy !req
963. That one tonight. Who was he?Copy !req
964. A nobody.Copy !req
965. A coward.Copy !req
966. What an ignominious end
that would have been.Copy !req
967. I killed the last honorable man
15 years ago. Since then...Copy !req
968. You've seen his portrait downstairs?Copy !req
969. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
970. Is your mouth all glued up
with cunny juice?Copy !req
971. - I asked you a question.
- I said I seen it, sir.Copy !req
972. Oh, you got a murderous rage
in you, and I like it.Copy !req
973. It's life, boiling up inside of you.
It's good.Copy !req
974. The Priest and me,
we lived by the same principles.Copy !req
975. It was only faith divided us.Copy !req
976. He gave me this, you know?Copy !req
977. That was the finest beating I ever took.Copy !req
978. My face was pulp.Copy !req
979. My guts was pierced,
my ribs was all mashed up.Copy !req
980. And when he came to finish me,Copy !req
981. I couldn't look him in the eye.Copy !req
982. He spared me, because he wanted me
to live in shame.Copy !req
983. This was a great man.Copy !req
984. A great man.Copy !req
985. So I cut out the eye that looked away,Copy !req
986. I sent it to him wrapped in blue paper.Copy !req
987. I would've cut them both out
if I could have fought him blind.Copy !req
988. And I rose back up again
with a full heart,Copy !req
989. and buried him in his own blood.Copy !req
990. Well done.Copy !req
991. He was the only man
I ever killed worth remembering.Copy !req
992. I never had a son.Copy !req
993. Civilization is crumbling.Copy !req
994. God bless you.Copy !req
995. If you got anything to say,Copy !req
996. then now is the time to say it.Copy !req
997. Who is he to you, Jenny?Copy !req
998. I was 12 years old.Copy !req
999. My mother was dead.
I was living in a doorway.Copy !req
1000. He took me in.Copy !req
1001. Took care of me...Copy !req
1002. In his own way.Copy !req
1003. After they cut out the baby...Copy !req
1004. He doesn't fancy girls that scarred up.Copy !req
1005. You should know, in your own mind,Copy !req
1006. that he never laid a hand on me
until I asked him to.Copy !req
1007. Who are you?Copy !req
1008. Who are you?Copy !req
1009. Gentlemen, fine gentlemen,Copy !req
1010. you are most welcome to this palace
of wonder and enchantment.Copy !req
1011. Where visions to rival the finest
imaginings of Scheherazade,Copy !req
1012. and the tales of the perfumed
Nights of ArabiaCopy !req
1013. will greet your burnished eyes!Copy !req
1014. What am I bid
for this flaxen-haired, Teutonic beauty?Copy !req
1015. Feast your eyes on the magnificent
plumage of these exotic creatures.Copy !req
1016. Gentlemen,
you've seen our caged birds.Copy !req
1017. Well,
how'd you like to make them sing?Copy !req
1018. Let me see the color of your money,Copy !req
1019. and they could be singing for you.Copy !req
1020. No!Copy !req
1021. No! No!Copy !req
1022. May God put the steel
of the Holy Spirit in my spine,Copy !req
1023. and the love of the Blessed Virgin
in my heart.Copy !req
1024. Amen.Copy !req
1025. Easy, now.Copy !req
1026. - What did you say?
- He's not who he says he is.Copy !req
1027. He's not who he says he is?Copy !req
1028. Count your blessings
he considers you a friend!Copy !req
1029. The only thing he considers, Bill,Copy !req
1030. every day and every night,
is how best to kill you.Copy !req
1031. You got a loose tongue
in that head of yours.Copy !req
1032. You want me to take it out for you?Copy !req
1033. I'll bury it right up your fundament,
where it belongs!Copy !req
1034. I can read right through you!
You're empty!Copy !req
1035. His name is Vallon!Copy !req
1036. Don't do it, Bill! His name is Vallon!Copy !req
1037. They're curious people,
these Celestials.Copy !req
1038. You know why he wears short sleeves?Copy !req
1039. No. Why?
- Because everyone can seeCopy !req
1040. he's got nothing stashed.Copy !req
1041. Jesus, let's hope
that never becomes the fashion.Copy !req
1042. Johnny?Copy !req
1043. Get up.Copy !req
1044. Ladies and gentlemen,
if I may have your kind attention.Copy !req
1045. As some of you have surely noticed,Copy !req
1046. our friend and benefactor,
Mr. William Cutting,Copy !req
1047. is tonight wearing a waistcoat
of certain distinction!Copy !req
1048. Might we...Copy !req
1049. Might we tonight appeal to himCopy !req
1050. to favor us
with another exciting exhibitionCopy !req
1051. Of skill,Copy !req
1052. courage,Copy !req
1053. Daring and drama!Copy !req
1054. Bill's going up.Copy !req
1055. The Spider's Kiss!Copy !req
1056. River of Blood!
The Tomahawk!Copy !req
1057. The Morning Glory!Copy !req
1058. The Wheel of Death!Copy !req
1059. - William Tell!
- The Butterfly!Copy !req
1060. The Tomahawk!
Spider's Kiss!Copy !req
1061. The Butcher's Apprentice!Copy !req
1062. - The Butcher's Apprentice!
Command performance!Copy !req
1063. Command performance!
A command performance!Copy !req
1064. Where have you been?Copy !req
1065. A command performance indeed.Copy !req
1066. I want you to get out of here,
do you understand?Copy !req
1067. And for this, I must beg the indulgenceCopy !req
1068. of my former assistant
in matters of impalement,Copy !req
1069. the Butcher's original apprentice.Copy !req
1070. What do you say, Jen?
One more time for the sweet souvenir.Copy !req
1071. Come on!Copy !req
1072. Don't do it!Copy !req
1073. Good girl, Jenny!Copy !req
1074. Don't be afraid.Copy !req
1075. What a woman.
Yeah, Jenny.Copy !req
1076. Good evening, Bill.Copy !req
1077. She'll be all right.Copy !req
1078. - Remember this?
- Of course.Copy !req
1079. You may feel more comfortable
without that garment, Miss Everdeane!Copy !req
1080. You'll have to filch me a new one, Bill!Copy !req
1081. Anything in your pockets tonight?Copy !req
1082. Oh, I ain't started working yet.Copy !req
1083. What about that locket that I gave you?Copy !req
1084. Apologies, my dear. Pick it up.Copy !req
1085. Whoopsie-daisy!Copy !req
1086. Now it's good and broke!Copy !req
1087. I can't seem to get
anything right tonight.Copy !req
1088. You got the sand
to give them a grand finale?Copy !req
1089. Maybe when you're aiming
a little straighter.Copy !req
1090. Want some poverty, Jen?Copy !req
1091. Enough of this heathen music.Copy !req
1092. Get rid of these goddamn monkeys.Copy !req
1093. Strike up, boys!Copy !req
1094. This is a night for Americans!Copy !req
1095. - Jenny!
Get your hands off!Copy !req
1096. Amsterdam!Copy !req
1097. Hats off!Copy !req
1098. We hold in our hearts
the memory of our fallen brothers,Copy !req
1099. whose blood
stains the very streets we walk today.Copy !req
1100. Also on this night,Copy !req
1101. we pay tribute
to the leader of our enemies.Copy !req
1102. An honorable man
who crossed over bravely,Copy !req
1103. fighting for what he believed in.Copy !req
1104. To defeat my enemy
I extinguish his life,Copy !req
1105. and consume him
as I consume these flames.Copy !req
1106. In honor of Priest Vallon.Copy !req
1107. All grieve Priest Vallon!Copy !req
1108. That's a wound!Copy !req
1109. I want youse all to meet
the son of Priest Vallon.Copy !req
1110. I took him under my wing,Copy !req
1111. and see how I'm repaid?Copy !req
1112. - You bastard!
- Saves my life one dayCopy !req
1113. so he can kill me the next,
like a sneak thief.Copy !req
1114. Instead of fighting like a man.Copy !req
1115. A base defiler,Copy !req
1116. unworthy of a noble name.Copy !req
1117. Oh, Jesus.Copy !req
1118. Why, that'll do, McGloin.
Splay him out.Copy !req
1119. This show ain't for blackies.Copy !req
1120. You, you get to watch.Copy !req
1121. Don't you hear, nigger?Copy !req
1122. This is fresh meat.Copy !req
1123. What I mean... We need to
tenderize this meat a little bit.Copy !req
1124. All right, let's kiss goodnight
to that pretty, young face of yours.Copy !req
1125. No!Copy !req
1126. What'll it be, then?
Rib or chop? Loin or shank?Copy !req
1127. The liver!
The spleen!Copy !req
1128. The tongue!
The kidney!Copy !req
1129. The lungs!
The liver!Copy !req
1130. His legs!
The tongue!Copy !req
1131. The kidneys!
The stomach!Copy !req
1132. - The heart! The heart!
- The heart?Copy !req
1133. - This boy has no heart.
- Then kill him!Copy !req
1134. - Kill him!
- Kill him!Copy !req
1135. Jenny, please.Copy !req
1136. He ain't earned a death.
He ain't earned a death at my hands.Copy !req
1137. He'll walk amongst you,
marked with shame.Copy !req
1138. A freak, worthy of
Barnum's Museum of Wonders.Copy !req
1139. God's only man spared by the Butcher.Copy !req
1140. No!Copy !req
1141. No! No! No! No!Copy !req
1142. Here.Copy !req
1143. Here.Copy !req
1144. This way. Come on. Come on.Copy !req
1145. I want to show you something.Copy !req
1146. My mother's bones share this grave.Copy !req
1147. I've saved 10 cents out of every dollar
I've ever earned since I was 13.Copy !req
1148. That's $215.Copy !req
1149. For bludgeting, and the rest.Copy !req
1150. This is what I wanted to show you.Copy !req
1151. This is where we're going to go,
as soon as you get well.Copy !req
1152. San Francisco, California.Copy !req
1153. You can have anything you want
out there.Copy !req
1154. These men are pulling gold
right out of the river.Copy !req
1155. With heir own hands.Copy !req
1156. We're here. We need to get there.Copy !req
1157. We start here,Copy !req
1158. go down 'round here,Copy !req
1159. up into San Francisco.Copy !req
1160. The shortest way to go.Copy !req
1161. Would you go with me?Copy !req
1162. No need to fire that, miss.
Or even aim it.Copy !req
1163. An audience with your mangled friend
is all I want.Copy !req
1164. I got 44 notches on my club.Copy !req
1165. Do you know what they're for?Copy !req
1166. To remind me of what I owe God
when I die.Copy !req
1167. My father was killed in battle, too.Copy !req
1168. In Ireland, in the streets.Copy !req
1169. Fighting those who would take
as their privilegeCopy !req
1170. what could only be got and held
by the decimation of a race.Copy !req
1171. That war is a thousand years old
and more.Copy !req
1172. We never expected it to follow us here.Copy !req
1173. It didn't.Copy !req
1174. It was waiting for us when we landed.Copy !req
1175. Your father tried to carve out a corner
in this country for his tribe.Copy !req
1176. That was him.
That was his Dead Rabbits.Copy !req
1177. I often wondered,
if he'd lived a bit longer,Copy !req
1178. would he have wanted a bit more?Copy !req
1179. Why'd you rifle through
his pockets, then?Copy !req
1180. For safekeeping.Copy !req
1181. I thought maybe you could do with it.Copy !req
1182. Blood stays on the blade.Copy !req
1183. That's a sorry-looking pelt.Copy !req
1184. And it's been so nice and quiet
for the last three months.Copy !req
1185. Tell me, this charge,
does it sit uneasy with you?Copy !req
1186. No, it's...Copy !req
1187. Not uneasy, Bill.Copy !req
1188. No, I wouldn't say that.Copy !req
1189. But, my allegiance is to the law.Copy !req
1190. I'm paid to uphold the law.Copy !req
1191. What in heaven's name
are you talking about?Copy !req
1192. You may have misgivings,
but don't go believing that, Jack.Copy !req
1193. That way lies damnation.Copy !req
1194. I'm in no danger of damnation, Bill.Copy !req
1195. Here's the thing.Copy !req
1196. I don't give a tuppenny fuck
about your moral conundrum,Copy !req
1197. you meat-headed shitsack.Copy !req
1198. That's more or less the thing.Copy !req
1199. And I want you to go out there. You.
Nobody else.Copy !req
1200. None of your little minions.
I want you to go out there,Copy !req
1201. and I want youCopy !req
1202. to punishCopy !req
1203. the personCopy !req
1204. who's responsibleCopy !req
1205. For murdering this poor little rabbit.Copy !req
1206. Is that understood?Copy !req
1207. Right.Copy !req
1208. Help yourself to some decent meat
on the way out.Copy !req
1209. - IllCopy !req
1210. Is that you, boy?Copy !req
1211. I didn't mean nothing
by that shot, you know.Copy !req
1212. You scared me, is all.Copy !req
1213. Sure, you know, I'd never do you harm.Copy !req
1214. Come out, now, lad.Copy !req
1215. Remember your father and me?Copy !req
1216. Are you too young to remember
your old Uncle Jack?Copy !req
1217. Oh, the times we had.Copy !req
1218. You know I won't hurt you.Copy !req
1219. Is he dead?Copy !req
1220. Matthew, come see, quick.
Everybody, quick.Copy !req
1221. This is bad for everybody.
What's next, dead politicians?Copy !req
1222. I could spare half a dozen of you
easier than I can spare him.Copy !req
1223. Still, I think it shows dash.Copy !req
1224. Give the boy some time,
we'll settle with a good dustup.Copy !req
1225. The lads here.Copy !req
1226. Well, there's more of us
coming off these ships every day.Copy !req
1227. I heard 15,000 Irish a week.Copy !req
1228. And we're afraid of the Natives.Copy !req
1229. Get all of us together,
and we ain't got a gang.Copy !req
1230. We got an army.Copy !req
1231. And all you need's a spark, right?
Just one spark.Copy !req
1232. Something to wake us all up.Copy !req
1233. It was me
who played you false.Copy !req
1234. - I'd take it back if I could.
- Take it back?Copy !req
1235. Johnny, I gotta kill you.Copy !req
1236. Get out of the Points,
and don't come back.Copy !req
1237. Where are you going, boyo?Copy !req
1238. Come along. Come on.Copy !req
1239. Tell us, John, what's the trouble?Copy !req
1240. No trouble, Bill.Copy !req
1241. Still hiding out with your friends?Copy !req
1242. No, I'm... I'm not with them, Bill.Copy !req
1243. I'm with you, I'm... With the Natives.Copy !req
1244. You always was a Native
as far as I'm interested, John.Copy !req
1245. Till you became a stag.Copy !req
1246. You tell me you're a Native?
Do you want to know what a Native is?Copy !req
1247. A Native is a manCopy !req
1248. what's willing to give his life
for his country.Copy !req
1249. Like my father done.Copy !req
1250. Are you willing to do that,
my young friend?Copy !req
1251. John? Johnny?Copy !req
1252. Johnny?Copy !req
1253. I'll get you...Copy !req
1254. It hurts too much.Copy !req
1255. Just kill me.Copy !req
1256. Just kill me.Copy !req
1257. Please. Please. Please.Copy !req
1258. Please. Please.Copy !req
1259. Please.Copy !req
1260. I'm sorry, Johnny.Copy !req
1261. Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners nowCopy !req
1262. and at the hour of our death. Amen.Copy !req
1263. Rest in peace, Ma.Copy !req
1264. What are you doing here, boyo?Copy !req
1265. What's that nigger
doing in this church?Copy !req
1266. What's a Dead Rabbit
doing with the Natives, huh?Copy !req
1267. There's no niggers among the Natives.
Niggers and robbers is one thing,Copy !req
1268. but a nigger in the church,Copy !req
1269. - that's something else.
- You run with the Natives,Copy !req
1270. you go pray with the Natives.Copy !req
1271. You're going to wind up on a stake,
like your man did.Copy !req
1272. McGloin?Copy !req
1273. Father. Jesus. Did you know
there's a nigger in your church?Copy !req
1274. Jesus.Copy !req
1275. The Earth turns,Copy !req
1276. but we don't feel it move.Copy !req
1277. And one night you look up.Copy !req
1278. One spark,Copy !req
1279. and the sky's on fire.Copy !req
1280. It's a touching spectacle.Copy !req
1281. We'll come back
when you're ready for us.Copy !req
1282. The past is the torch
that lights our way.Copy !req
1283. Where our fathers
have shown us the path,Copy !req
1284. we shall follow.Copy !req
1285. Our faith is the weapon
most feared by our enemies.Copy !req
1286. For thereby shall we lift our people upCopy !req
1287. against those who would destroy us.Copy !req
1288. Our name is called the Dead Rabbits,Copy !req
1289. to remind all of our suffering,Copy !req
1290. and as a call to those who suffer still
to join our ranks,Copy !req
1291. however so far they may have strayedCopy !req
1292. from our common home
across the sea.Copy !req
1293. For with great numbers
must come great strength,Copy !req
1294. and the salvation of our people.Copy !req
1295. We don't want your business.Copy !req
1296. How many other men live here?Copy !req
1297. You all have to register.Copy !req
1298. - You can't force me to join no army.
- Have you got $300?Copy !req
1299. Of course not.
Who the hell's got $300?Copy !req
1300. If you are drafted,
release from military serviceCopy !req
1301. can only be secured for $300,
according to the Conscription Act.Copy !req
1302. - $300?
- Otherwise, you have to serve.Copy !req
1303. - Who the hell's got $300, eh?
- You have to serve, sir.Copy !req
1304. - You tell me.
- Unless you have $300...Copy !req
1305. - Boys!
- Go back to where you came from,Copy !req
1306. - you bastard!
I am born in this country, sir.Copy !req
1307. You immigrated here.
You will fight for this country, sir.Copy !req
1308. Sweet Jesus, war
does terrible things to men.Copy !req
1309. Get back uptown,
where you belong.Copy !req
1310. Three hundred dollars?
So it's another rich man's war.Copy !req
1311. We'll be back for all of you.Copy !req
1312. Sir, I request an audience
with this man.Copy !req
1313. Does no one speak English
in New York anymore?Copy !req
1314. - I don't understand.
- Oh, you do speak English?Copy !req
1315. I wonder if Miss Everdeane could
angle her rifle in some other direction?Copy !req
1316. I wonder, Mr. Vallon,Copy !req
1317. if you understand the true value
of this sort of publicity?Copy !req
1318. The Archbishop himself,Copy !req
1319. shoulder to shoulder with half the Irish
in the Five Points.Copy !req
1320. I'm offering, my boy,
to form an alliance with you,Copy !req
1321. against Bill Cutting
and his slate of Nativist candidates.Copy !req
1322. I'll negotiate a handsome fee
for every Irish voteCopy !req
1323. you send Tammany's way
in the coming elections.Copy !req
1324. I need a new friend
in the Five Points, son.Copy !req
1325. I'd like that friend to be you.Copy !req
1326. Well, now, just a moment, Mr. Tweed.Copy !req
1327. Suppose we do get you those votes.Copy !req
1328. Would you back an Irish candidate
of my choosing?Copy !req
1329. - I don't think so.
- What if we get you all the Irish votes?Copy !req
1330. Mr. Vallon, that will only
happen in the reign of Queen Dick.Copy !req
1331. - Beg your pardon?
- That means it will never happen.Copy !req
1332. Now, I might be persuaded
to back an Irish candidateCopy !req
1333. - for, say, alderman.
- Alderman?Copy !req
1334. We've already got Irish aldermen.Copy !req
1335. So we have. That's why...Copy !req
1336. What's bigger than alderman?Copy !req
1337. Sheriff. Sheriff.Copy !req
1338. All right, Mr. Tweed,
you back an Irishman for sheriffCopy !req
1339. of the city and county of New York,
and we'll get him elected.Copy !req
1340. I love the Irish, son, but higher than aldermanCopy !req
1341. - you shall never climb.
- Why not?Copy !req
1342. For one thing, no man living
can consolidate the Irish vote.Copy !req
1343. - I can.
- And for another, I mean no effrontery...Copy !req
1344. No one's yet found an Irish candidate
for sheriff worth voting for.Copy !req
1345. Monk.Copy !req
1346. Here.Copy !req
1347. Is that me, looking as sober
as me own grandfather?Copy !req
1348. Another great man, I'm sure.Copy !req
1349. Retarded drunken bastard.Copy !req
1350. Could I say what I want?Copy !req
1351. That's why I wanted you.Copy !req
1352. Our elected representatives
are a gang of thievesCopy !req
1353. who swear to better our lotCopy !req
1354. while dipping their hands
deep into our pockets.Copy !req
1355. I stand shoulder to shoulderCopy !req
1356. With community leaders like Bill CuttingCopy !req
1357. against any and all inroads
into our fine democracy.Copy !req
1358. I'll see to it that no one takes awayCopy !req
1359. what you have earned
by pluck and application.Copy !req
1360. To invading hordes of Hibernians.Copy !req
1361. You go to the polls,
and you put your markCopy !req
1362. next to the name Walter McGinn.Copy !req
1363. Against the potato eaters,
like them, over there,Copy !req
1364. thieving our jobs.Copy !req
1365. Why should so many Irish
die down South,Copy !req
1366. when the first war to win
is not down in Dixie,Copy !req
1367. but right here, in these streets?Copy !req
1368. And who's the finest street fighter
in the Five Points?Copy !req
1369. - Monk!
- Monk!Copy !req
1370. That's right.
Now let the whole damn city hear it!Copy !req
1371. That man was right born for this.Copy !req
1372. He's killed 44 men.
Laid low a couple hundred more.Copy !req
1373. - Is that right?
- That's right.Copy !req
1374. I should have run him for mayor.Copy !req
1375. All right, line them up. It's election day.Copy !req
1376. Come on, you. Come with me.Copy !req
1377. Okay, quiet.Copy !req
1378. Come on, you bastard,
we need your vote.Copy !req
1379. Bastard? I fought for you, nigger.
I lost an arm for you.Copy !req
1380. Well, that's a start. Now, come on.Copy !req
1381. Rise and shine, rise and shine.Copy !req
1382. In this great country of ours,
even the hop fiends get to vote.Copy !req
1383. Less art and more haste, darling.Copy !req
1384. Where are you going?
- I already voted today.Copy !req
1385. Cast for Monk and Tammany, by God.Copy !req
1386. - Twice.
- Twice? Only twice?Copy !req
1387. You call that doing your civic duty?
Come with me.Copy !req
1388. Oh, no, you don't.
Get back and sit down.Copy !req
1389. Here's another one.
Clean him up good.Copy !req
1390. Shave their beards off, boys,
and send them back to vote again.Copy !req
1391. All right, boys, vote Monk/Tammany.Copy !req
1392. - Monk/Tammany.
Monk/Tammany.Copy !req
1393. So, gentlemen, what our
great city needs is a new courthouse.Copy !req
1394. Now, I propose it should be
a modest, economical structure.Copy !req
1395. Excuse me one moment. What is it?Copy !req
1396. Monk's already won
by 3,000 more votesCopy !req
1397. than there are voters.Copy !req
1398. Only three? Make it 20, 30.Copy !req
1399. We don't need a victory,
we need a Roman triumph.Copy !req
1400. But we don't have any more ballots.Copy !req
1401. Remember the first rule of politics.Copy !req
1402. "The ballots don't make the results,
the counters make the results."Copy !req
1403. The counters. Keep counting.Copy !req
1404. It's from Bill.Copy !req
1405. Monk?Copy !req
1406. Citizens of the Five Points.Copy !req
1407. Mr. Bill Cutting is attempting
to draw me into an argumentCopy !req
1408. that would no doubt end in bloodshed
and the compromising of my office.Copy !req
1409. What do you think?Copy !req
1410. Should I engage, and silence
this relic of the ancient law?Copy !req
1411. Or shall I be your chosen voice,Copy !req
1412. in a new testament, in the New World?Copy !req
1413. There you are, Bill.Copy !req
1414. The people have spoken.Copy !req
1415. The very notion of violent reprisal
benumbs them.Copy !req
1416. Come on up.Copy !req
1417. Let's see if we can resolve
our grievances the democratic way.Copy !req
1418. That, my friends, is the minority vote.Copy !req
1419. Now you tasted my mutton,
how do you like it, huh?Copy !req
1420. Look, I want you to see this.Copy !req
1421. This is you, right here.Copy !req
1422. Notch 45, you Irish bog bastard.Copy !req
1423. Why don't you burn him,
see if his ashes turn green?Copy !req
1424. Fortune favors the bold.Copy !req
1425. You killed an elected official?Copy !req
1426. Who elected him?Copy !req
1427. You don't know
what you've done to yourself.Copy !req
1428. "I know your works.Copy !req
1429. "You're neither cold nor hot.Copy !req
1430. "So because you are lukewarm,
I will spew you out of my mouth."Copy !req
1431. You can build your filthy world
without me.Copy !req
1432. I took the father, now I'll take the son.Copy !req
1433. You tell young VallonCopy !req
1434. I'm going to paint Paradise Square
with his blood.Copy !req
1435. Two coats.Copy !req
1436. I'll festoon my bedchamber
with his guts.Copy !req
1437. As for you, Mr. Tammany fucking Hall,Copy !req
1438. you come down to the Points again,Copy !req
1439. and you'll be dispatched
by mine own hand.Copy !req
1440. Now get back to your celebration
and let me eat in peace.Copy !req
1441. I paid you fair.Copy !req
1442. Stop.Copy !req
1443. Raise.Copy !req
1444. You son of a bitch.Copy !req
1445. Challenge.Copy !req
1446. Challenge accepted.Copy !req
1447. And then it came.Copy !req
1448. - The first day of the draft.
Thomas O'Neill.Copy !req
1449. Andrew Lewis. Joseph Flynn.Copy !req
1450. They read out
the draftees' namesCopy !req
1451. like they was dead already.Copy !req
1452. J.B. Cleason.Copy !req
1453. - The O'Connell Guard.
- The Plug Uglies.Copy !req
1454. As for us...
- The Forty Thieves.Copy !req
1455. the tribes were gathered.Copy !req
1456. - The Kerryonians.
- The Chichesters.Copy !req
1457. The drums was beating.Copy !req
1458. Dead Rabbits.Copy !req
1459. - The American Guard.
- The Atlantic Guard.Copy !req
1460. - The Slaughter Housers.
- The Bowery Boys.Copy !req
1461. Confederation of American Natives.Copy !req
1462. James Mooney.Copy !req
1463. But all we could see
was the hand in front of us.Copy !req
1464. Sean O'Connell.Copy !req
1465. G.W. Morris. John Doyle.Copy !req
1466. - When?
- Whenever you like.Copy !req
1467. - Daybreak tomorrow.
- Ground?Copy !req
1468. - Paradise Square.
- Weapons?Copy !req
1469. That I leave up to you.Copy !req
1470. Bricks, bats, axes, knives...Copy !req
1471. Pistols?Copy !req
1472. No pistols.Copy !req
1473. Good boy.Copy !req
1474. Terms are resolved.
Council is concluded.Copy !req
1475. Thomas McEvoy. W.H. Miles.Copy !req
1476. To hell with your damned draft!
Give them hellfire, boys!Copy !req
1477. Rip them apart!Copy !req
1478. Kill the rich bastards!Copy !req
1479. Uptown!Copy !req
1480. They're not getting my son!Copy !req
1481. Uptown at the draft office,Copy !req
1482. the cops broke a few skulls,Copy !req
1483. and everybody run away.Copy !req
1484. But the word was spreadingCopy !req
1485. in the dark.Copy !req
1486. Up on Fifth Avenue,Copy !req
1487. the Schermerhorns and their mob
breathed a little easy.Copy !req
1488. Just a brief burst of anger
over Mr. Lincoln's draft.Copy !req
1489. Entirely justifiable in my view.Copy !req
1490. Well, there are two sides
to that question.Copy !req
1491. There are several sides to the
question, in fact, Mr. Schermerhorn,Copy !req
1492. but only one right side,Copy !req
1493. as with any question
that involves the abuseCopy !req
1494. - of executive power.
- In any case, Mr. Greeley,Copy !req
1495. we can all be thankful
that it wasn't any worse.Copy !req
1496. It may be worse yet, sir.Copy !req
1497. I saw them. I don't know what to think.Copy !req
1498. Now, what is it that you are
so fond of saying, Mr. Tweed?Copy !req
1499. And... Mr. Greeley, you won't like this.
But what is it?Copy !req
1500. I don't remember.Copy !req
1501. You can always hire one half
of the poor to kill the other half.Copy !req
1502. I come to say goodbye.Copy !req
1503. I've booked passage for California.Copy !req
1504. Jenny, give me one more day
and I'll go with you.Copy !req
1505. You'll be dead by then.Copy !req
1506. - Well, what would you have me do?
- I don't know.Copy !req
1507. - This will all be finished tomorrow.
- No, it won't.Copy !req
1508. This whole place
is gonna burn, anyway.Copy !req
1509. I've heard that the poor
are going from door to doorCopy !req
1510. in the Five Points,
asking those supportersCopy !req
1511. who wish to see further riotsCopy !req
1512. To place a lighted candle in the window.Copy !req
1513. Irish, Poles, Germans, all of them.Copy !req
1514. Mr. Greeley, the city is not mad.Copy !req
1515. I prophesy a very dark night.Copy !req
1516. Nobody goes to work today.
We'll shut the factories down!Copy !req
1517. When the sun rose
next, the city had split in half.Copy !req
1518. From all over New York, they came.Copy !req
1519. Ironworkers, factory boys,
street cleaners.Copy !req
1520. Irish, Polish, German,Copy !req
1521. anyone who never cared
about slavery or the Union,Copy !req
1522. anyone who couldn't buy his way out.Copy !req
1523. "Let the sons of the rich
go and die," they cried.Copy !req
1524. "Let the sons of the poor stay home."Copy !req
1525. The earth was shaking now.Copy !req
1526. But I was about my father's business.Copy !req
1527. Oh, mighty Lord,
you are the dagger in my hand.Copy !req
1528. Guide my hand
on this day of vengeance.Copy !req
1529. We give thanks
to the Lord, for he is good.Copy !req
1530. With you, the swift cannot flee
nor the strong escape.Copy !req
1531. Let my sword devour,
till its thirst is quenched with blood,Copy !req
1532. and my enemy sleep forever.Copy !req
1533. For you are the Lord God of retribution.Copy !req
1534. For the Lord crushes the wicked.Copy !req
1535. For the Lord is merciful.Copy !req
1536. And his love endures forever.Copy !req
1537. - Amen.
- Amen.Copy !req
1538. Amen.Copy !req
1539. You sons of bitches!
Come on out!Copy !req
1540. Upstairs.
Father!Copy !req
1541. Get the women upstairs.
Father!Copy !req
1542. Let's take them hostage!Copy !req
1543. From 18th Precinct.Copy !req
1544. The mob are sacking houses,
27th Street and Seventh Avenue.Copy !req
1545. We have no force to send.Copy !req
1546. From 16th Precinct.Copy !req
1547. All the stores
are closing on Eighth AvenueCopy !req
1548. from fear of the mob in 17th Street.Copy !req
1549. From 4th. The rioters
are attacking colored boarding houses,Copy !req
1550. robbing them, and setting them on fire.Copy !req
1551. From 21st. The mobCopy !req
1552. have just broken open a gun store
on Third Avenue,Copy !req
1553. and are arming.Copy !req
1554. The Marshal's Office on Third Avenue
is burning down.Copy !req
1555. The police is of no avail.Copy !req
1556. Show yourself, Tweed.Copy !req
1557. Two colored men
brought in, almost dead.Copy !req
1558. There are 50 more Negroes outside
who need help.Copy !req
1559. The blacks are being attacked
all over the city.Copy !req
1560. - Hey! There's a $300 man.
- Get him!Copy !req
1561. Did your daddy
buy you out of the army?Copy !req
1562. Can he buy me out of the army, too?Copy !req
1563. There is danger of mob
attacking the armory,Copy !req
1564. corner of 21st Street, Second Avenue.Copy !req
