:50:01
If you are drafted, release from militairy
service can only be secured...
:50:04
...for 300 dollars, according to
the conscription act.
:50:04
Shall I walk with you a
little, then?
:50:06
300 Dollars?
:50:07
Otherwise you have to serve!
:50:08
Who the hell's got 300 dollars?
:50:09
You have to serve, sir!
:50:10
You tell me!
:50:12
Boys!
:50:15
What do you suppose a fellow
can earn up here in a day?
:50:15
I was born here, sir. You
immigrated here!
:50:18
Maybe we can pile in together?
:50:19
Sweet jezus. War does terrible
things to men.
:50:19
I think you're a bit rough for
this game.
:50:22
Get back up town, where you
belong!
:50:23
Besides, I work alone.
:50:24
300 dollars. It's another rich
man's war!
:50:26
Alone?
:50:27
What do you core to
the Butcher?
:50:28
Sir, I request an audience
with this man.
:50:29
Nothing.
:50:30
Nothing?
:50:31
The Butcher and me have a
special arrangement.
:50:33
Don't they speak English in
New York anymore!
:50:35
Don't understand.
:50:36
You do speak English!
:50:39
I wonder if miss Everdeane can angle
her rifle in another direction?
:50:40
I don't want to see
you again!
:50:42
I don't blame you.
:50:45
Pennies in their pockets and
hope in their eyes.
:50:48
They peer to the west.
:50:48
I wonder Mr. Vallon, if you understand
the value of this sort of publicity?
:50:50
Searching the horizon for a
glimpse of land and salvation.
:50:55
The Archbishop himself, shoulder to shoulder
with half the Irish in the Five Points.
:50:56
A glimpse of America.
:50:58
Seeing all this poverty must be
most unsettling, Mrs. Schermerhorn?
:51:01
I'm offering my boy, to form an
alliance with you...
:51:01
Some days the uptown gangs
came to us.
:51:03
...against Bill Cutting and his
slate of Native candidates.
:51:05
The Schermerhorns were one of the
oldest families in New York.
:51:07
I'll negotiate a handsome fee, for
every Irish vote...
:51:09
They didn't run the city..
:51:09
...you send Tammany's way, in the
coming elections.
:51:10
...but they were listened to quite
carefully, by them who did.
:51:13
Commissioner Brunt, said you
wanted to view the Points....
:51:14
I need a new friend in the Five
Points, son.
:51:15
...in all its splendor an
squalor.
:51:17
Spare nothing concerning the
conditions, said he!
:51:20
Nothing except our safety,
constable.
:51:20
I'd like that friend to
be you.
:51:23
I'm sure we can be in no danger
while we're in the constable's
company, my dear!
:51:26
Now just a moment, Mr. Tweed.
:51:26
Quite so, madam. Witness!
:51:28
Suppose we do get you those votes.
:51:34
Would you back an Irish candidate
of my chosing..
:51:36
I don't think so.
:51:37
Shall we continue on?
:51:37
What if we get you all the
Irish votes?
:51:38
You dare to leave it there?
:51:38
Mr. Vallon, that will only happen
in the reign of Queen Dick!
:51:40
Safe as a bank, Mr. Greely.
:51:41
They all know it's mine.
:51:44
Is that man drunk?
:51:45
Beg your pardon?
:51:46
That means it will never happen.
:51:46
Dead as good friday, miss.
:51:47
Now I might be persuaded to back
an Irish candidate...
:51:49
...for, let's say alderman.
:51:50
Alderman?
:51:51
We've already got an Irish
alderman.
:51:53
Good day, Mulraney.
:51:53
So we have, that's why....
:51:54
What's bigger than an alderman?
:51:55
Boys?
:51:56
Jack?
:51:56
Slum socialable?
:51:57
Track finding. Reform studying.
:51:58
Sheriff!
