:08:01
I-I like that.
:08:02
Some lady slips
in a supermarket,

:08:05
I'm with her. A guy...
:08:07
The discussion's over.
:08:08
I'm an alcoholic.
This is a murder case.

:08:10
This isn't for me.
:08:12
It was once.
:08:13
Yes, but, uh...
:08:14
Before you let
the drink lead.

:08:17
Be sober by tomorrow.
:08:19
And don't look
so worried, Snyder.

:08:21
You got nothing to lose,
just like the rest of us.

:08:24
I-I don't want to
be a burden to you,

:08:26
but I do, you know...aside...
:08:28
Or along with
my alcohol problem,

:08:30
I have a slight drug problem.
Nothing big.

:08:34
Go away.
:08:45
Within days of
Michael taking the case,

:08:47
the West Side Boys got
a visit from King Benny.

:08:49
He asked that the verbal abuse
directed at Michael continue.

:08:53
Cries of "Traitor"
and "Gutter rat"

:08:55
were heard up and down
the avenue.

:08:57
But there was never to be
a death move against him.

:08:59
The hit on Michael Sullivan,
if there was to be one,

:09:02
could only come
from King Benny.

:09:03
The underground word,
the only one that mattered,

:09:06
had spread through the streets
with the speed of a bullet.

:09:12
King Benny's sleepers
were making their play.

:09:16
Sleepers was a street name
:09:18
for anyone who spent time
in a juvenile facility.

:09:29
Hey!
:09:30
You going to pay for that,
you little prick?

:09:32
I need your help, Fat Man.
I need a big favour.

:09:35
Be outside.
:09:36
King Benny been to see you?
:09:38
Oh, my goodness.
:09:39
What a fucking thing
we put together, huh?

:09:41
You have a drunk lawyer
on one side,

:09:44
a kid lawyer on the other,
:09:46
fucking paperboy
making like Dick Tracy.

:09:49
There are four sets of eyeballs
that saw the whole thing.

:09:52
You know?
:09:54
Meanwhile, the two on trial
killed more people than cancer.

:09:56
Fucking General Custer
has a better shot at a walk.

:09:58
There's no connection
with the guard and us.
