I ask for help leading economists

- To help resolve this.

- We know about it ...

These are the same people we

put the depression of the 80s

Why New Yorkers began

Why then want solutions.

They do not want this type of solution.

And only one person at this stage in

the business of finding solutions.

The other is in the business

to say how the situation ...

This is a debate or

are being trained

welcome Nick Hostetler?

The problem exists because and

his friends manipulate the game.

And the honest workers

New Yorkers recognize

nothing will change.

Never change if we continue

to elect someone like that.

Do not tell me that nothing has changed.

When I was elected as mayor

this was a city in bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy! Step by step

I began to recover.

The only Village Bolton of these steps.

Tell me that things have changed.

I stand before you all,

and said $ 3 billion.

Tell me things changed.

No other mayor in the

history of this great city

had the ability to be

before the people and said that!

Tell me who changed ...

Leaving home with your child tomorrow

and take you to the park

play, you feel safe?

Yes, you feel safe,

because I have his letters

and I know the feeling.

This is us, working together,

fixing things. Tell me

things have changed!

- It

- Way to go, Mayor!

Counselor Valliant, question

Original remains:

What do the shortfall?

- I. ..

- Do not worry, counselor,

Nick finds a way.

Two honks if not, I understand.

- Pour the bank, right?

- Okay.

I will be back.

- Do you know who I am?

- No.

Because I know who you are, Todd.

And I know what you did, you little sh*t!

You set Andrews died.

- No.

- The established.

It was noted that meetings and ambush.

- I did not do that.

- Put him in an ambush.

- No, not kill him.

- Shut up!

- You lie.

- Do not kill him.

You're a liar. Are you lying?

My God, he was my friend.

- What?

- He was my friend!

Get up now!

What did I say? Tell me what's going on.

Please stop hitting me!

I did not know. Only

would deliver something.

I was in the corner

waiting for him,

I saw him down the stairs

and waited. Right?

I would give anything to win Valliant help.

To help overcome

Hostetler Valliant the bastard.

That makes no sense, Hostetler

is a friend of his father.

F*** my father!

I had the contract in my hand.

And Paul saw me waving, smiling ...

Murdock should have me

followed in his car ...

and then went out and shot, man!

Headshot of sh*t!

And that appeared on weekdays

- As if nothing had happened.

- Todd, okay.

Look at me, calm down, okay?

Where is the contract?

Take it. No more.

Are you sure you want

do that with your father?

Yes.

Sh*t. Go up the stairs.

Vai!

It was an accident. It Taggart, calm down!

F*** you!

- Are you okay?

- Yes

- Are you okay?

- Yes, I'm fine.

So ...

As Fitzgerald says:

"In the future orgasmic

year after year, usually

retiring before us.

Who place to do this? Murdock?

I think not

available for the task.

I hope he has not suffered.

No more than Andrews.

A shame what happened that type.

Tell me something, mayor.

I think you let me turn

Do you think there could not answer?

What responses have you, Billy?

I know Andrews discovered

This is the reason why

Why get rid of it.

No sir, I do.

You're not the man

who hired Murdock.

Trying to catch my testimony.

Yes, you're smart mayor.

Granted, all that

you have presented.

But to deny Bolton Village, and Donovan ...

and no big contract

with Rochway Group.

Nobody can do anything, right?

If someone makes the

courtesy dying bribe.

I'm impressed,

men. You are good.

Maybe that's why the

People keep electing me.

- Why do the service.

- So all this?

All this in the city?

Everything I do is for the city.

The city has a 50%
