Cabrini Green?
:28:04
Candyman country.
:28:07
If you're after the hook man,
read the paper I wrote about him...
:28:11
...1 0 years ago.
:28:13
You know the story, don't you?
:28:25
Then how are you going to bury me?
:28:31
The legend first appeared in 1 890.
:28:35
Candyman was the son of a slave.
:28:39
His father had amassed a fortune
from designing a device...
:28:44
...for the mass producing of shoes
after the Civil War.
:28:48
Candyman had been sent
to the best schools...
:28:51
...and had grown up in polite society.
:28:55
He had a prodigious
talent as an artist...
:28:59
...and was much sought after
when it came to the...
:29:03
...documenting of one's wealth and
position in society in a portrait.
:29:09
It was in this latter capacity...
:29:12
...he was hired by a rich landowner to
capture his daughter's virginal beauty.
:29:20
Of course, they fell deeply in love,
and she became pregnant.
:29:28
Poor Candyman.
:29:34
Her father executed
a terrible revenge.
:29:38
He paid a pack of brutal hooligans
to do the deed.
:29:43
They chased Candyman through the town
to Cabrini Green...
:29:47
...where they proceeded to saw off
his right hand with a rusty blade.
:29:54
And no one came to his aid.
:29:58
But this was just the beginning
of his ordeal.
