: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!
:52:00
Sheriff!
:52:00
May I present...
:52:01
Alright, Mr Tweed, you back an
Irishman for sheriff...
:52:01
The Schermerhorns hardly require
an introduction from you, Jack.
:52:04
...of the city and county of
New York...
:52:05
Mrs. Schermerhorn and her
daughter.
:52:05
...and we'll get him elected.
:52:07
The gentleman of course is.....
:52:07
I love the Irish, son...
:52:08
Mr. Greely. The famous
publisher.
:52:08
..but higher than alderman you
shall never climb.
:52:10
It's a pleasure and an
honour, sir.
:52:11
Why not?
:52:12
For one thing, no man living can
consolidate the Irish vote.
:52:12
Of the Tribune.
:52:13
I am William Cutting.
:52:15
I can!
:52:15
And for another, I mean no
offence...
:52:16
How do you do, Mr. Cutting?
:52:17
...no one's yet found an Irish
candidate...
:52:19
...for sheriff worth voting for.
:52:19
As of this moment,
extremely well.
:52:21
How do you do?
:52:23
Orange blossom. Delicious!
:52:24
Monk!
:52:26
Mr. Cutting is...
:52:26
Here.
:52:28
What a peach! You had a fine
carreer on the stage.
:52:30
...one of the Five Points local...
:52:32
Got me looking as sober as me own
grandfather!
:52:32
Please to meet you, sir.
:52:33
..leaders.
:52:34
Mr. Greely!
:52:34
He was a great man, I'm sure.
:52:35
Pleased to meet you,
Mr. Cutting.
:52:36
The Five Points welcomes you..
:52:36
He was a drunken bastard.
:52:36
...to these streets...
:52:38
..and you shall pas in
safety.
:52:40
Can I say what I want?
:52:41
I'll see to their safety.
:52:43
Thank you, Bill.
:52:43
That's why I wanted you.
:52:44
This way.
:52:46
Our elected representatives are a
gang of thieves!
:52:46
Good day lads.
:52:47
Criminals who brag
a dote show.
:52:48
Who swear to better our lot...
:52:49
He knows who I am!
:52:50
Inderdeed, sir. You are well
known in these parts.
:52:50
...while dipping their hands deep
into our pockets.
:52:53
I stand shoulder to shoulder with
community leaders like Bill Cutting...
:52:54
I find that strangely flattering.
:52:57
Never did like crushers.
:52:57
....against any, an all in roads in
our democracy.
:52:58
Well draw it mild, son.
:52:59
Happy Jack don't fill his lungs
without me telling him to.
