Don't you guys have to go out and shoot somebody?

We always got time for a song!

Just kidding, you know what I'm saying?

You pick it, Mikey. Nothing too slow.

Start us up.

-How many songs do you know? -One.

"Walk...like...a...man!"

"Walk like a man..."

"...fast as you can..."

"Walk...like a man, my son..."

"Go tell the world... forget about the girl!"

Don't forget about the girl!

On March ...

John Reilly's bloated body was found face up in a tenement building...

...right next to the bottle of boiler gin that killed him.

At the time of his death, he was a suspect in five unsolved homicides.

He was two weeks past his th birthday.

Thomas Marcano died on July .

He was shot at close range times.

The body lay undiscovered for more than a week.

There was a crucifix and a picture of Saint Jude in his pocket.

He was years old.

Michael Sullivan lives in a small town in the English countryside...

...where he works part-time as a carpenter.

He no longer practices law, and he has never married.

He lives quietly and alone.

Carol still works for a Social Service agency and lives in Hell's Kitchen.

She has never married...

...but is a single mother supporting a growing -year-old son.

The boy, John Thomas Michael Martinez, loves to read...

...and is called Shakes by his mother.

It was our special night, and we held it for as long as we could.

It was our happy ending.

And the last time we would ever be together again.

The future lay sparkling ahead...

...and we thought we would know each other forever.
