What Doesn't Kill You Page #6

all right? You're not. It's over, you know.

But your kids

love you. They do.

They got it better than

we did, all right? They do.

They got a good mom.

They're good. They love you.

- You really think they do?

- I know they do, all right?

Someday you're gonna make all

this up to them. All right?

Hey, hey, look at this guy up here. All

right? You see who I'm talking about?

He's doing 35 for an armored car,

all right? So, things could be worse.

Yeah, things could be worse.

Prison is the most boring

waste of time you can imagine.

Yesterday is the

same as tomorrow.

A bunch of cowards hiding

behind muscles and tattoos,

the most dangerous kind,

people filled with fear.

All I ever think about is how

I let you and the kids down.

I miss you. I'm sorry.

So I got that number to them guys

when you get out. They're good guys.

I drank away my wife.

It was hell, but that's

what the booze does.

Jesus Christ, that's Danny Sullivan.

I haven't seen him in 15 years.

Oh, yeah. He was friends

with my uncle, right?

Yeah, he was. He looks great.

Twenty years ago, I was

sitting right where you are.

Anyways, what else you got?

I was able to get

a handle on it.

I was able to get a little

piece of my life back.

- Hey, you with us?

- Yeah, yeah.

Once again, my name is Dan. I'm an

alcoholic. Thanks for letting me talk.

All right, everybody

back to the block!

Hey, Sully. I'm Brian Reilly. I

met you when I was a little kid.

Bobby's nephew. Yeah, yeah,

yeah. He was a good man.

Yeah, he was. Thanks.

So, you hear anything

that made sense?

Yeah. A few things, yeah.

How much time you got left?

- Just a couple weeks and I'm out.

- Good, good.

You planning on staying sober?

- Yeah. Yeah, sure.

- You got any meetings lined up?

I've never been to a meeting

before I come in here,

and that was just

to get off the block.

If you ever want to go

to a meeting or just talk,

- give me a call. - All right, Brian,

let's go. Time to go back.

Just one minute.

- All right. Thanks, Sully.

- You bet.

Hey, Paulie.

Remember that scumbag child

molester we saw on TV last week?

- Yeah.

- I'm putting him in cell 12.

Thanks, Callahan.

Yeah, yeah, yeah,

let's go! Let's do it.

What the f***?

Come here a second. Come here.

You f***ing... You take

the pain, you f***ing freak.

You like f***ing kids? You

f***ing rape f***ing kids!

What's wrong with

you? Come on, come on.

You eat like a f***ing animal.

Don't start, Paulie.

Here they are.

All right, let's go.

- Enjoy yourself.

- Thanks.

Eat however you want.

How you doing?

All right, let's

get right to it.

We all know you did it.

Personally, I don't give a sh*t,

but Sergeant Callahan may lose his

job. He's already been suspended.

I know he's been good to you two,

newspapers, privileges, whatnot.

I got the D.A. all

over my ass on this one.

As sick as these bastards

are, they're protected.

- What are you looking for?

- Well, if somebody came forward,

we could make this go away and

save everyone a lot of aggravation.

Callahan's a good man.

So what are we looking at?

Six more months or

90 days in the hole.

It was me.

- What?

- Just you?

- Yeah, just me.

- Wait a second.

- Come on. You'd do the same for me.

- You don't have to do that.

- Say hi to the boys.

- Paul.

- Just you?

- Just me.

It's the right thing, Brian.

Come on, you'd do the same thing.

What, so the boys,

they didn't wanna come?

No, they wanted to.

Mark's still sick.

Sean'll come around. You're

gonna have to work on it though.

So...

What do you plan on doing?

I'm not sure yet.

- You're gonna get a job, right?

- Yeah, I'm gonna get something,

but first I want to just spend

some time with you and the kids.

Stacy, take a good

look around here

'cause I will never ever put you

and the boys in this situation again.

You'll never see me like this

again, ever. I promise you.

Hey, Callahan. So this

is where they got you.

Yeah, well, it could've

been a lot worse, huh?

Yeah. I appreciate everything you did

for us. You're all right, Callahan.

- Take care out there, Brian.

- Thanks.

Hey, buddy!

I missed you. Let me

see. Let me see you.

Give me a look. Hey,

where's your brother?

- He went to go meet his girlfriend.

- He'll be home later.

He did? Do you have

any girlfriends?

- I have two, actually.

- Not bad, not bad.

- Hey, Katie.

- Hey.

- How've you been?

- Good. Welcome back.

Good to see you.

Thanks for watching

them for us.

Your brother went to

see his girlfriend, huh?

Yeah, he'll be

back later though.

What happened

to Coynes Tavern?

They made it into

condos two years ago.

All these yuppies are moving in buying

up everything. Rents are unbelievable.

Everything's changing.

So now you gotta be rich

to live in South Boston.

So we are.

Mark told me you

have a girlfriend.

- Yeah? Is she pretty?

- Very pretty.

This is pretty good.

- Pretty good?

- Yeah, pretty good.

- What's her name?

- Stephanie.

I'd like to meet her sometime.

I gotta go. I'll

see you later.

- You don't wanna finish?

- No.

Not too late, Sean. Sean?

All right, I'll

see you, buddy.

Wow.

You don't have to say that.

Oh, my God.

Come on, you're gonna be late,

and your ma is gonna kill me.

- I miss you, man.

- All right. Bye.

All right. I put a

cupcake in your lunch.

All right. Thanks, Dad. Bye.

I love you, Mark.

I love you, too.

What?

What are you banging on the

door like you're the cops for?

- Do you know you're $600 overdue?

- Yeah, I do now.

We sent you three notices, so

unless you make a payment...

Hey, you seem to be taking

this pretty personal.

What, is the money coming

out of your own pocket?

Just doing my job.

Well, some people don't have a

job that pays 52 checks a year.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Listen, you either pay the money, or

I'm gonna have to shut your gas off.

Hey.

- You ain't shutting off a f***ing thing.

- Relax.

Now, you get back in your

little truck, and you drive away

before I bash your

f***ing head in.

- Take it easy, okay?

- No, no. Get going.

Call the cops. Do what you

have to do. I'll find you.

Hey, hey. Wait a second.

Now look what you got me

doing in front of my wife.

Now, shake my hand, and smile at

her like everything's all right.

Give her a little wave.

Now, write down on a piece of

paper where I can make a payment.

Okay.

Thanks. Have a nice day.

He gave me a number where

I can make a payment.

- I can't ask my father for no more money.

- I'll see what I can do.

You mean like a job?

I only been out for two days.

I need you to give me a chance.

No, no, no. I just

meant, you know...

- What?

- Never mind.

- Hey.

- Look who it is.

- All right.

- Good to see you.

You, too, Jackie.

- Welcome back.

- Thanks.

- Look at you. You lost a bundle of weight.

- Yeah, I did.

How does it feel to be home?

- Different.

- Yeah, yeah, I know that feeling.

So Pat said there was

an envelope for me.
