We have no record of it. Some other
precinct must have made the arrest.

1:42:06
It sounds like your special friend
was wanted for somethin' else.

1:42:09
Like what?
1:42:11
Lady, how can I help you?
You don't even know your friend's name.

1:42:22
Six degrees.
1:42:25
We weren't family.
We didn't know Paul's name.

1:42:29
I went to the district attorney's office.
1:42:31
We weren't family.
We didn't know Paul's name.

1:42:37
I called the criminal courts.
I wasn't family. I didn't know Paul's name.

1:42:45
I read today that a young man
committed suicide in Rikers lsland prison,

1:42:52
and tied a shirt around his neck
and hanged himself.

1:42:58
Was it the pink shirt?
1:43:01
A burst of colour. Pink shirt.
1:43:05
Was it Paul? We never did
find out who he was.

1:43:09
I'm sure it wasn't him.
1:43:11
- Yes, I agree.
- Isn't it amazing?

1:43:15
We haven't seen the last of him,
believe me. He'll be back. He'll find a way.

1:43:19
The imagination... Oh!
1:43:22
- Why does it mean so much to you?
- He wanted to be us.

1:43:27
Everything we are in the world.
1:43:29
This paltry thing, our life, he wanted it.
He stabbed himself to get into our lives.

1:43:35
He envied us.
We're not enough to be envied.

1:43:39
Like the papers said, we do have hearts.
1:43:41
Having a heart is not the point.
1:43:44
We were hardly taken in.
We believed him for a few hours.

1:43:48
He did more for us in a few hours
than our children ever did.

1:43:54
And he wanted to be your child.
Don't let that go.

1:43:57
He sat out in that park and said
"That man is my father."
