If I do I will

having to protect him.

I'm not asking.

- Are you sure?

- It's time to pay my debt.

Ladies and gentlemen, although

accustomed to public speaking 1405

You know, Sam, likes the debate.

- What do you think?

- Magistral.

Thank you.

First I want to

thanks everyone for coming,

this is a room full ...

My wife and I are among

good friends, so thank you.

A smart man once told me:

that politics is

the art of the possible.

This afternoon, Jack Valliant

went to the station,

Tonight finds the number

the bus ran over him.

He fought the good fight,

but was hitting the shadows.

It was like Roberto Duran,

no, I want more. Do not hit me more.

He said it's urgent.

I'll take care of it.

Do not go anywhere.

I have to thank

for many people.

- Yes?

- I am.

Why are you calling me so early?

I thought it would know now, Mayor. / i

- It's your future.

- Have your rights, Nick.

- I'm done with you.

- Understands the rights IHE describe it?

I understand that you are suicidal.

You may have forgotten

how he got his job

but not me.

You think a tribunal

New York condemn me?

I'm just the guy handcuffed.

- Do not worry, honey.

- Have you ever worried?

I think we both underestimated

Billy, the mayor.

And again, many

underestimates us.

Do you think Billy

fall for that.

Andrews was found

sleeping with his wife.

I arrived to find.

In this case, why did you do that?

Mayor, how to participate?

Just a statement.

How does your situation?

Did you?

Lawyer, New York went to

many things in the last days

From murder

Paul Andrews, 1452,

his campaign manager 1453,

and culminated last night with the

Nick Hostetler detention,

connected to this crime.

What does that mean New Yorkers

that frankly lost

faith in government?

Well, these days

really shake ...

Hey, Rachel. It's getting

out of trouble?

- I'm trying.

- Yes, I know.

What we're drinking.

It's the big day, Billy?

It seems that such

has a lot to do.

By Jack Valliant.

Good person.

I have this for you.

- What is it?

- What do think?

Phonecards.

- Thanks.

- Always have, Billy.

All right, Katy.

I'll be home soon.

- I'll be here.

- Come on, Billy.

The road is long.
