01:58 It's been a long time
01:27 I'm telling you as a witness
00:24 Was as simple and as dumb as anything we'd ever done
00:30 I got a story I want to tell you
00:22 We can eat hot dogs
01:14 I don't give a fuck
05:03 It's been a long time for me
03:22 Michael Sullivan
00:08 What do you want
00:24 Are you sure you wanna go this way
00:29 The street is the only thing that matters
00:08 Sixteenth Chapel
00:18 If I can get that
00:12 The future lay sparkling ahead
00:10 I just want to shut my eyes and not have to see the places...
00:17 How long did it take him
00:17 And you won't need a doctor when I'm done
00:32 You want a Rolls Royce
00:14 This is one of my favorites
00:16 One down Shakes one down
00:15 I told him about the torture
00:31 A number of the inmates
00:12 Don't you guys have to go shoot somebody
00:18 You read the Count of Monte Cristo lately
00:10 The man I know is not the boy you remember
00:07 Father Bobby would have made a good hitman
00:17 There are no clear pictures of the sexual abuse we endured
00:09 Hell's Kitchen was a place of innocence ruled by...
00:17 I stopped off at Attica today on my way up here to see an...
00:33 You gotta get me one for our side
00:11 I didn't know you like pigeons so much
00:07 Michael was the most sexually experienced of us
00:50 You got enough for conviction
00:07 Mug me or marry me
00:13 What about the life that was taken
00:06 Now it's time for all of us to get a taste
00:06 I could die now
00:05 Did that hurt Nokes
00:11 The mother of God
00:12 That street is the dish of life
00:05 It's payback time
00:09 I don't think about it
00:10 They killed him
00:07 Father Bobby would have made a good hit man
00:12 In truth we were all surprised by Michael's actions
00:14 He's got a shot
00:20 Disappear for a while
00:16 But while they shouted their slogans
00:16 The temperature topped out at 98 degrees
00:04 Nuns are such easy targets
00:08 Most priests like to preach from the pulpit
00:08 So what do you want
00:19 Right through to the truth
00:09 It fell into my lap
00:13 You know your time here hasn't taught you shit
00:20 We haven't hit the hot dog vendor in couple of weeks
01:02 I don't understand you
00:09 He should not have to do time
01:11 So you Hell's Kitchen's Boys get any lunch
00:09 I buried one fucking wife
00:04 Do you still sleep with the lights on
00:07 You will be defenders of the faith
00:11 They stay back and let me do my time
00:12 Nokes warned us not to say anything to Father Bobby
00:24 Down on your knees
00:12 Did you observe these experiences
00:14 What have you boys done
00:30 A number of the inmates as tough as they acted during the...
00:12 And you won't need a doctor when I'm done...
00:03 Did that hurt Nokes
00:09 Do you still love him
00:12 Don't you guys have to go out and shoot somebody
00:07 Father Bobby would've made a good hit man
00:07 Father Bobby would've made a good hit man
00:28 Gotta get that number down
