00:11Satan, your kingdom must come down
00:15Satan, your kingdom must come down
00:21I heard the voice of Jesus cry
00:27Satan, your kingdom must come down
00:32Ooh, ooh, ooh
00:41Ooh, ooh, ooh
00:43Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
00:47Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
00:57Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
01:02Take a seat, please
01:14It's called Lewy body
01:16Abnormal microscopic amounts of protein depositing themselves in the nerve cells of your cerebral cortex and substantia nigra here and
01:24here
01:25Destroying them over time, atrophying the frontal and temporal lobes
01:29It's rare, it's not Alzheimer's, it's not Parkinson's, but like them, degenerative progression is slow, irreversible, and there is no
01:39known cure
01:40First, your higher mental functions will deteriorate
01:44Orientation, intelligence, insight
01:47Your speech will become unusual, nonsensical at times, with unconscious repetition, loss of words
01:53You will experience increasingly severe visual hallucinations, paranoia, delusions
01:59Depression is common, anxiety more so
02:02Later, as the disease advances, you will see dystonic postures, muscle rigidity, tremors, loss of language, memory
02:10Eventually, you'll not be able to carry out simple daily tasks
02:14Your body movements reduce drastically, with fluctuating levels of unconsciousness lasting days to weeks, until death
02:22How long?
02:24It's hard to say, three, maybe five years, could be more, could be less
02:27I can't shake
02:29We could try to mitigate some of that with anti-Parkinsonian drugs, but
02:33What drugs?
02:34They may acutely worsen the hallucinations and delusions, precipitating psychosis
02:39What drugs?
02:39L-Dopa, combined with rivastigmine, maybe haloperidol for the neuroleptic side
02:45We'll have to see what works for you
02:48You'll need legal advice, advanced directives, power of attorney, determining the course of certain ethical decisions
02:55If, for instance, your behavior becomes aggressive, dangerous to yourself and to others, do you want to be medicated or
03:01restrained?
03:02When your sensory functions deteriorate, or redirectify through surgery, or leave B
03:08You need to make these decisions now, while you still can
03:12Eventually, you'll need 24-hour care, somewhere comfortable, where your needs can be bed
03:16I assume this could be at home
03:18You might want to talk to your family
03:22There are also support groups, elder care
03:25Thank you, doctor
03:3120,000 men used to work here, in this place
03:36Slaughtering hundreds of thousands of hogs and cattle each day
03:41Life
03:44For all its cares and its terrors is no such great thing after all
03:49Laborer
03:51Or hog
03:52Sinclair
03:53Yes
03:57Thanks for meeting me out here, doctor
04:00I know you understand
04:01I understand
04:26I'm ready
04:31I'm ready
04:54I'm ready
04:56I'm ready
04:56I'm ready
04:57I'm ready
04:59I'm ready
04:59I'm ready
05:00I'm ready
05:01I'm ready
05:01I'm ready
05:02I'm ready
05:02I'm ready
05:02I'm ready
05:02I'm ready
05:02I'm ready
05:02I'm ready
05:03Breaking, breaking, breaking.
05:08Breaking people, breaking everybody.
05:23They're ready.
05:25That's about 600, podium stage right.
05:27You'll walk across, Friendly's behind for the cameras,
05:30packing the first three rows in the pit.
05:31Hayes, Rosen, Colin, and his wife sit stage left in that order.
05:34When you introduce him, she'll come first, then Colin.
05:36Kenny Williams is doing the intro.
05:38Williams? What's the, uh...
05:40Stealth bomber.
05:41That's right.
05:41Ladies and gentlemen, the great mayor of this city, Tom Kane.
05:49Mr. Mayor, good to see you. Good to see you.
05:54Thank you, Kenny.
05:56That's all you're going for for first base, huh? Cool?
05:58Yeah.
05:59Come on, don't mind them, you can tell me.
06:00Later, later.
06:01Kenny Williams, stealth bomber.
06:13180 years ago, a young man arrived in town by boat.
06:17His name was Jeremiah Porter, a Presbyterian minister.
06:21What he found was a settlement numbering no more than 300 people.
06:24The majority were soldiers stationed at Fort Dearborn, along with some French trappers and pockets of Pottawatomie Indians.
06:30And among the lot of them, vice was rampant.
06:34Corruption, an accepted way of life.
06:37Prostitution, boozing, cards, dice, all forms of gambling were common occupations.
06:42Jeremiah Porter set about to change that.
06:47He built a church.
06:48The first church in the city.
06:50The first Presbyterian church of Chicago.
06:53And from there, he began his work, eradicating gambling, stamping out vice, and raising arms against corruption.
07:02Today, the first Presbyterian still holds daily services.
07:06It stands as a testament to an abiding truth about the nature of this great city.
07:13This most American of all cities.
07:17Chicago.
07:19Go ahead, Chicago.
07:21That always, its darkest elements have given rise to its greatest crusaders of light.
07:27Its grafters and gamblers, sinners and corruptors, mob bosses, and crooked aldermen, have always been met face-on by those
07:37who would not, could not be corrupted.
07:43What the fuck is this?
07:47Men of moral muscle.
07:51Men of backbone and unimpeachable integrity.
07:54Men who bareheaded, shoveling, wrecking, planning, building, breaking, and rebuilding made this city and this state what it is today.
08:10My friend, Governor Mac Cullen is such a man.
08:17Come on up, Mac.
08:20And with your help, Mac is going back to Springfield again and again and again.
08:26Cullen! Cullen! Cullen! Cullen! Cullen!
08:32Cullen!
08:40All right, everyone. Listen up.
08:44Grab your stuff.
08:45Salvo Miguelito bring the 360 track hose and the Hydro we're working today.
08:50Over there.
08:53I don't know who the hell cooked up this contract division bullshit,
08:57but we got 1,372 plots to get through,
09:00and on every single one, I want the same thing.
09:02Six inches. That's about a half shovel's length, yes?
09:06Yep. Not an inch more.
09:07Now, when your guys hit that depth, they stop. Stop.
09:11You call over one of my guys.
09:13We can't touch the topsoil. You can't touch the coffins.
09:17So we're gonna have to work this together.
09:19All right, let's go. Let's go.
09:20Come on, guys.
09:28No, no dinner. It needs to be out at 8 p.m. sharp.
09:32What kind of gifts?
09:35Ma'am, I need to call you back, okay?
09:36No, I'll call you back. Thank you.
09:39Colin's called three times since you left.
09:41Get him.
09:43And send Stoney in, will you?
09:48Colin's on the line, sir.
09:49Put him through.
09:53Tom!
09:54Mac?
09:55Hell of a speech.
09:57Thanks.
09:57Hit the times and the Sentinel already.
10:01How's it looking?
10:02Good.
10:04We're going out wide for the next two weeks, back in town a couple days before the primary.
10:08What's the temperature?
10:10That's a toxic shitstorm anywhere across the 50 where there's a boat.
10:14Two, sometimes three termers.
10:17I mean, wily old sons of bitches with smooth operations, cashed up, good messaging, plenty of grit, getting their behinds
10:25handed to them on a sandwich platter.
10:27With Walsh's ties to DC, why don't you just run the ads and watch yourself implode.
10:31Defending them.
10:31Yeah, Walsh.
10:33Walsh I know how to take.
10:34It's not the main event I'm worried about.
10:36It's this primary.
10:38Primary's in the bag, Mac.
10:39You got Cook County.
10:40What else do you need?
10:41Yes, of course.
10:42Thank you, Tom.
10:50Well, I guess that's it.
10:52Anything else I can do for you?
10:54I'll be sure to ask.
10:55Thanks again, Tom.
10:56Mac.
10:58I need to know exactly how he's coming at me.
11:02When, how, what, fuck!
11:04Is this about O'Hare?
11:07Don't fucking ask questions.
11:10This isn't some fucking learning moment.
11:16Fucking moron.
11:17How's the kid looking?
11:18He'll be here in an hour.
11:21Is he ready?
11:22He's ready.
11:23His attacks on Cullen are gaining some serious balls.
11:26Anybody putting him up to it?
11:27Nope.
11:28He either really gives a shit or he's the most ambitious son of a bitch I've ever seen.
11:32He's straight, goes to church, family, kids, camera loves him.
11:37He's young, but the game has changed.
11:39No one cares about that anymore.
11:40Tony.
11:43I need five minutes.
11:45Sure.
11:45.
11:55.
12:09.
12:14Sixty-two.
12:16Clinic.
12:18At police hall.
12:19Emma.
12:21Can I take a message?
12:22Number sixty-two.
12:26Uh, can I come in with him?
12:28Uh, are you family?
12:29Yeah, I'm his nephew.
12:33What's your name, sir?
12:35Morrison.
12:37Austin Morrison.
12:38Date of birth?
12:40Oh, five, two, five, three, three, five.
12:46Dress?
12:47She lives in Inglewood.
12:48Uh, do you need more than that?
12:50Uh, Zephyr.
12:51Uh, six-zero-six-two-one.
12:54Is he Medicaid or PCA, CHIP?
12:57Uh, no.
12:58What's your name?
12:59Darius, well, D.
13:02He has emphysema.
13:03He's been on inhalers, but he started to feel a lot of pain.
13:06Well, the doctor will be with you in a minute.
13:11Um, uh, ma'am, can I take this?
13:15Yeah, it's, um, private.
13:18Well, I can't leave you in here alone.
13:24All right.
13:26All right.
13:30Yeah.
13:33I can't right now.
13:36Yeah.
13:37How much?
13:39Uh, what it...
13:41Why?
13:43Man, tell him I can't, dog.
13:45Well, it is what it is, yo.
14:00Okay, so what have we here?
14:04Mr. Morrison.
14:05I can't wait for you soon.
14:06It was your dad.
14:11My dad?
14:12On the phone?
14:13Well, uh, what did he say?
14:15Just to call him.
14:3163?
14:36Not long ago, financial shortages had placed Noble Square Elementary on a list of imminent school closings.
14:43But through its partnership with Sayentia, Noble Square's faculty, staff, and students have improved this school to become one of
14:52the most successful in the city.
14:55Grades are up. Attendance is up. Parents and students are satisfied.
15:01Sayentia working with local government provided the critical technology required to help turn this school around.
15:08Sayentia CEO Mike Bozovich is himself an alumnus of Noble Square, so I know how saving this particular school has
15:16been of personal importance to him.
15:20Good job, everyone. Good job.
15:28This is Kane Redd with students and met the faculty and staff at Noble Square.
15:33She's scheduled to continue her meetings with Sayentia staff at their headquarters this afternoon.
15:41Let's get some B-roll on the students.
15:43Hey, you guys want something with a bit more bite?
15:46Don't you ever mind?
15:47Miller Sentinel.
15:55Get that. The mold.
16:00Get all of that and then swing it back to her.
16:12All right, and over here, who remembers what was in this box?
16:27Let's get it.
16:52Yes, send me.
16:53Alberto, I'm Checo.
16:55Checo.
16:56Checo, Checo, Garza.
16:58What do you want?
16:59Well, you told me that you called me if something happened.
17:01Hey, you're going to take it all day long because you're going to talk a little bit of something.
17:04Something happened, something happened.
17:05Hey, man, seriously, talk.
17:08Well, you got to the whole world, you guys.
17:10People of the natives.
17:12What, under the tomb?
17:14Yes.
17:15Latinos?
17:16Yes.
17:17Like Indians?
17:18Yes, yes.
17:20So, one question.
17:22Why did you get into public service?
17:24Because I believe in the role of government to do what the private sector can't.
17:28Provide the safety net necessary for private businesses to thrive.
17:32Because I believe in the power of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
17:36Treasurer Zajac is yours, sir.
17:38Mr. Mayor.
17:39Good to see you.
17:39I was born here.
17:40How are you doing?
17:41How are you doing?
17:41How are you doing?
17:41South Chicago.
17:42In the bush.
17:45My father worked steel at EC10 every day of his life, and the only thing he ever expected
17:49of me is that I would never do the same.
17:51So I'm sure you've heard it before.
17:53Stanford undergrad, law at U of C. It's straight to Holland and Dunn in the city.
17:57Called the path of least resistance.
18:00One day, I realized I could see the whole thing.
18:02Not just the steps I had taken to get where I was, but every step from there on out as
18:06well.
18:07The rest of my life, in its entirety, it made me feel miserable.
18:12I took a job at the housing authority.
18:14I was overqualified and underpaid, but everything changed.
18:19My worst day there was always better than my best in the private sector.
18:23From there, I ran for state treasurer.
18:25And I won.
18:26And every day has been nothing but exhilarating since.
18:29Because everything I do, every decision that I make in some small, practical way affects
18:34the lives of every citizen in this state.
18:37All 12,910,409 of them.
18:42And that matters.
18:43That's fucking good.
18:47Come with me.
18:51When Cermak was mayor, he used to come up here all the time.
18:57He was a bohemian.
18:58An immigrant.
19:02Working class like you, except he utterly lacked charisma.
19:06But he had a gift.
19:07He understood people.
19:09He was the first to force the Irish into sharing power with the other ethnicities.
19:15His house for all people, as he called it.
19:19From here, he had an uninterrupted view of the whole thing.
19:23All 50 wards.
19:25North side, Lincoln Square, the Germans.
19:28Northwest, Division of Nashland.
19:30You're a lot.
19:31The Polonia Triangle.
19:32As well as the Czechs.
19:34The Jews.
19:35The west side.
19:36The Italians.
19:37The south side, the blacks.
19:38All the rest.
19:39And in between.
19:40The Irish.
19:42These were tribes.
19:44They hated each other.
19:46They fought, maimed, killed, and rioted against each other.
19:49Cermak.
19:51Weaved a thread to the lot of them.
19:53They pulled them in.
19:55Forming the first truly dominant political force this country had ever seen.
20:00He did it because he understood something basic about all people.
20:05They want to be led.
20:08They want their disputes settled.
20:10They want their treaties negotiated.
20:11Their jobs dispensed.
20:13Their mutinies punished.
20:14And they want their loyalties rewarded to those who lead them to all they want.
20:23They get power.
20:24It's a covenant.
20:26Unspoken and elemental.
20:29When a part fails, it needs to be fixed.
20:41I want you to run for governor against Matt Cullen in the primary.
20:45I want you to come at him from his wing and hammer him with all you got.
20:48What makes you think I'd want to do that?
20:50Oh, come on.
20:50You've been chewing at him for three months straight.
20:52Two Sunday op-eds.
20:53One on the Sentinel.
20:54One on the Sun-Times.
20:55Six appearances on local television.
20:57Three on cable.
20:58And your speeches at Northwestern, Archer Daniels Midland, and Lou Mitchell's Diner.
21:02If I didn't know better, I'd say that you've been contriving this face-to-face even before
21:07me.
21:07Because the only thing you're missing is heft.
21:12Here I am.
21:18What do you want from me?
21:20You'll know when it comes up.
21:21You won't have to ask.
21:25Am I supposed to just damage him or go for the whole thing?
21:28It's not a matter of degrees.
21:29He needs enough precision surgery to go after him because it's time to take him out.
21:33His numbers are high.
21:34There's only three weeks left until the primary.
21:36It's an eternity.
21:37Three days would be.
21:39Don't tell me you have to think about it because I know you don't.
21:45Smile.
21:47Why?
21:49Sometimes it's necessary to let the other guy know you're coming.
21:55Get into the situation downstairs.
21:58Sir, something urgent.
22:07It's my company, MoCo Industries.
22:11Our job here today was to clear the graves from the cemetery and some of my workmen were
22:16Who is there?
22:17Alberto MoCo Ruiz.
22:2030th Ward.
22:21South Longdale.
22:22He's one of Lalo Mata's guys.
22:24Got the contract to work O'Hare in St. Johannes.
22:28What's he doing in front of a fucking camera?
22:30For all intents and purposes, we believe it's an old Indian side of some great archeologic importance.
22:35Where is Mata?
22:38Hi.
22:39Mr. Miller.
22:42Sorry to keep you waiting.
22:45Dr. Singh referred you, but I'm a little short in my notes here as to why.
22:51I'd like to apologize.
22:53Dr. Singh is an old friend and I've grossly manipulated that friendship to get here to see you.
23:00I'm a reporter with the Chicago Sentinel.
23:03And I'm doing a story, kind of taking a deeper look at Tom Kane.
23:08I know he's been to see you.
23:10And given what you specialize in, I think there may be some information here that could be serious interest to
23:15the public.
23:19I understand you're bound by confidentiality, but...
23:22Thank you, Mr. Miller.
23:29If you change your mind.
23:43Mr. Mayor.
23:44I'm in my nephew.
23:46Hope it's okay if he sits in.
23:47Thought he could learn a bit about the context of things.
23:52It was a mistake.
23:54Tom, you know that we appreciate.
23:55I appreciate everything that you have done for us.
23:58If this poca madre, if Moco had taken even a moment to stop and think about it,
24:03he never would have rushed over there with the cameras like the hijo that he is.
24:08He's not the brightest, but he has his uses, right?
24:10These guys are cheap.
24:11Never been in trouble with ICE.
24:13You know, we have this saying.
24:16You don't ask for pears from an elm tree.
24:19Moco, he doesn't think.
24:21He can't...
24:21Stop.
24:23Kidding.
24:25Six new parallel runways, two new terminals.
24:27Entire estimate for the O'Hare Modernization Program, $15 billion.
24:30Total lifespan of the project to date, 22 years.
24:33$16 million paid by the city of Chicago to the city of Bensonville to drop its opposition to the expansion
24:38and allow for the demolition of 500 homes in its municipality.
24:43$630,000 paid to St. John's United Church of Christ to acquire the 5.32 acres of the St. Johannes
24:48Cemetery,
24:49which stand in the way of the proposed expansion and begin land condemnation,
24:52grave relocation and family compensation programs.
24:56374 state court arguments brought before DuPage Circuit Judge Merriam,
24:59174 in federal court, all pertaining to the alleged assaults on the religious beliefs of the families of the interred,
25:04all fought in one, cost to the city over $10 million.
25:0687 articles of court ordered respected dignity etiquettes in dealing with the buried contractually agreed fine
25:12for breaking each article $1,000 per breach.
25:15Heroes of the Underground Railroad.
25:17Tom?
25:2022 fucking years.
25:22You think this is easy?
25:24It doesn't mo-co.
25:26I've been accused of bulldozing the First Amendment.
25:29Of trashing people's constitutional right to rest in peace until Jesus Christ's redemptive resurrection
25:34at the world's fucking end!
25:36And I've only been dealing here with your average heroes of the Underground fucking Railroad,
25:42veterans of the Civil fucking War,
25:44families who hosted Abraham fucking Lincoln,
25:47lying in graves that happened to be lined up east-west
25:50because they believe that Christ will return on that axis,
25:53which also happens to cut smack fucking bang across two of my runways!
25:59You think this is easy?
26:03Answer me!
26:04No.
26:08They don't fucking listen to your people, do they?
26:12Fucking listen!
26:13I've been calling everything from sacrilegious to vile to a fucking grave robber!
26:19And I'm doing it all!
26:21Brow-beating!
26:22Fineshing!
26:23Fineshing!
26:23Pleading!
26:24Threatening!
26:25On my goddamn knees!
26:27Fucking debasing myself!
26:29For what?
26:30For the contracts!
26:32For the jobs!
26:33For the greater fucking glory of this glorious fucking city!
26:36For the likes of you!
26:39And you're Mr. Fucking Moko Fuck!
26:44Does he hear me?
26:46Can he fucking hear me?
26:49Siéntate, Jaime!
26:50Pay attention, son!
26:52This right here is the context of these things!
27:04Thank you!
27:06For coming!
27:13Somebody!
27:14Get me some water!
27:28Next!
27:29Potawatomi.
27:31How long?
27:32Moretti's getting him.
27:37By mandating annual testing of children in grades three to eight, and setting a twelve-year
27:43timetable for closing chronic gaps in student achievement, we believe we can meet these goals.
27:53I wonder if I could have a private work.
27:59I had my start in your father's administration, transportation authority, so it's an honor to be working with you now.
28:07And your husband.
28:08Mr. Bosovich, I hope it's okay if we bypass idle chatter.
28:11Yes, of course.
28:12Mr. Bosovich.
28:17The conditions in that school today were a disgrace.
28:19Mr. Bosovich.
28:20I know.
28:22And I apologize.
28:24We try.
28:25But sometimes we come across odd forms of intransigence, particularly from faculty.
28:30But I assure you, our goal always is to strive for what's best for the children.
28:37Mr. Bosovich.
28:38My husband's administration has allocated $2 billion over five years to be dispensed to
28:43joint public-private enterprises targeted expressly at servicing the city's schools, companies
28:50like Ciantia.
28:52He ushered the funds through the city council with no public hearings, and he put my hand on
28:57the spigot.
28:59Mr. Bosovich.
29:00Please do not mistake my concern for today's mishap as a tell for a bleeding heart.
29:05Mr. Bosovich.
29:05You're interdependent.
29:06What reflects poorly on you reflects poorly on me and on the mayor.
29:12There's a minimum standard across all of your company's line of services that'll be enough
29:17to keep her eyes away.
29:20Mr. Bosovich.
29:20Please meet it.
29:22I don't care how you do what you do.
29:24I care about how it looks.
29:29Yes.
29:31Yes.
29:33Uh, Mayor Kane and Chief English of the Potawatomi Nation are both very excited about the possibility
29:39of a major new archeological discovery.
29:41And the mayor feels very strongly that all elements of the find should be housed in a museum
29:45for proper preservation, and we've already had contact with both the Field Museum and the
29:49Smithsonian Institute, but the mayor prefers a local museum so that people can come to Chicago,
29:54see the treasures of our nation's past.
29:57Maybe stay in a hotel, buy a cup of coffee, commemorative mug.
30:04Sir, does this call the ownership of the land into place?
30:07Uh, no questions.
30:07Please.
30:08How does this affect O'Hare, sir?
30:10I don't know.
30:11What's it gonna take, fellas?
30:14Airport, casino?
30:14No.
30:17Camille, Eguilan, Pinakamalagi, Gumagana, Kasei Sayang, Numa Isan, Salido.
30:34Trout Builders.
30:45Okay, that's it.
30:46Thank you, everyone.
30:48Thank you very much for coming.
30:50That guy was two years ahead of me at Yale Law.
30:53Now he's dropping his pronouns and wearing sacks.
30:57It works.
30:59Find out what that hands and builders nonsense was about.
31:03This guy's gunning for no hair contract.
31:05Let him bid against Mata's guy.
31:07Fuck them both.
31:08I need something to get those maggots on the city council off my back.
31:12Something to give me control over the cemetery without their oversight.
31:15Find something they can't vote against.
31:16Something today.
31:19Nurses.
31:21Cops.
31:21Firemen.
31:24What about trash?
31:29You know, throughout almost all of its history, golf has been associated with the most phenomenally
31:35stupid clothing ever conceived for a sport.
31:37You see, all sports, when they first come onto the scene, have idiotic clothing.
31:41That's because they want to grab attention, credibility.
31:43They want to grow.
31:43But as they become more established, they become more austere.
31:48What about ice dancing?
31:50That is the exception.
31:51But the rule still holds.
31:53And you see, this is the same exact trajectory that ethnicities take when they first come
31:57to this country.
31:58At first, they're all flash and dash, hair greased, hot wheels, pimp clothing, pimp jewelry.
32:05But as they become more established, they become more austere in their tastes.
32:11Take a look at the Italians, the Irish, the Greeks, the Jews, except the blacks.
32:16The blacks are the exception.
32:18They're like ice dancing.
32:19But for everyone else, this is the truth.
32:23As time passes, they begin to understand the value of modesty, of group strength, of groups
32:29making collective decisions, of keeping your mouth shut and checking up the ranks.
32:35Perdóname, Lalo.
32:36You understand, though?
32:38Si.
32:39Good.
32:44I don't know where my ball has landed.
32:47You know, I think I might have floated into those trees over there.
32:50You guys think you can help me find it?
32:51Yes, sir.
32:52Moco?
32:54Por favor, Lalo.
32:55I am fourth generation, Moco.
32:56You will speak to me in my language.
32:59Please.
33:00Come, come.
33:00Let's go.
33:01Otherwise, we're going to have to yield the field of play here.
33:16You and your furrowed brow.
33:19What do you think he unearthed this?
33:21He is toying with us.
33:24This fucking thing.
33:26Every time you show me something on this, it's a goddamn...
33:42Is there a bunch of private shit on that thing?
33:45Yes, sir.
33:46Well, go get it, then.
33:48All right, Mr. President.
33:59Thank you, Mr. President.
34:00The matter now before the Council, Ordinance P02011-3, to extend city trash collection services
34:07for a period of 12 months from this date, and to appropriate the necessary funds to continue
34:12said services.
34:14The ordinance has been read.
34:15Thank you, Mr. President.
34:16I'd like to read out a proposed amendment.
34:18You may read the amendment.
34:20Amendment to the ordinance to designate any and all potential archaeological finds
34:25at the grounds known as St. Johannes Cemetery, O'Hara adjunct,
34:30under the sole authority of his honor, the mayor.
34:32Mr. President.
34:32To determine all decisions and actions affecting said archaeological finds.
34:37Mr. President, on the merits of the amendment.
34:38If I may, the language of the amendment contains all that there really needs to be said or known.
34:43Without oversight, without oversight, just hand the authority over.
34:46If my colleague has an actual objection, then you're hoodwinkering.
34:51We are being hoodwinkering.
34:52That is not an actual objection.
34:54Time is the trash collection.
34:55Mr. President, this is outrageous.
34:58I ask that we debate the merits of the amendment alone.
35:01We have had neither the opportunity nor the time to do this.
35:05We need to debate this, Mr. President.
35:07Call for a vote.
35:08I mean, people talk about business as usual.
35:11Excuse me, Mr. President.
35:12I mean, you can't just pass this over us and have us think we're not going to do anything
35:15about it.
35:17Mr. President, call to a vote.
35:20Mr. President, we have to debate this.
35:31I mean, if you're going to play by the rules, you've got to debate this, Mr. President.
35:34Call for a vote.
35:37Call for a vote.
35:38No, no, no, no, no.
35:39Mr. President, you want to listen to me or what do you have to say?
35:42Order.
35:44Order.
35:47And over the hardware.
35:51Laptops, Blackberries, phones, iPads, all of it.
35:54No word in, no word out.
35:56No Twitter, no Facebook, nothing.
35:59The amendment stands.
36:01Each of you will remain here until you can decide what it is you wish to do.
36:05I expect a simple up or down vote.
36:08If the motion loses, I will make every single vote publicly known.
36:14You can explain your decision to your constituents on your own.
36:18Let the streets run with shit.
36:43So, the Zajax news will hit in the morning.
36:46We're expecting lukewarm in the opinions and nothing in the polls as anticipated.
36:51You'll stay with Cullen for now.
36:53We have a statement ready if needed, confirming your ongoing support.
36:57Warning is taken from one of your own speeches, Crusader of Light, and so on.
37:02You want to see it?
37:03Who wrote it?
37:03Kitty?
37:04No.
37:06The drop on Cullen, when it comes and you're pivoted away,
37:08we think the best way is to go with a single source, exclusive, anonymous.
37:12That way, the rest of the media will devour each other, either trying to outdo it or debunk it.
37:17Good.
37:18Who?
37:18Sam Miller.
37:19Sentinel.
37:21We've kicked his tires.
37:23No known political affiliations.
37:25Not a beat guy.
37:26Not one of our guys, either.
37:27Did an expose on City Hall last year.
37:29Remind me.
37:30A handful of aldermen ran their mouths off to him for a month,
37:33forgetting who he is, and he printed all of it.
37:35Stupid shit, they and their asshole aides usually say.
37:38Only surprising if you believe them to be Paragon's intellect in the first place.
37:42Left him with a reputation for not being afraid to burn bridges.
37:46Truth is, he doesn't have any, but that's his brand, so he's perfect for this.
37:52Anything else?
37:53Yeah.
37:54One more thing.
37:55Um, these were taken today.
38:03He was asking her about you if you threw them out.
38:08That's Miller on the right.
38:13Who took these?
38:15One of my guys.
38:16Like I said, we're kicking his tires.
38:22How much do you know?
38:23All I've told you.
38:26Keep it to that.
38:28And her?
38:30What do you think?
38:31I think a gentle reminder of certain oaths.
38:37Reminder.
38:42I need some medication.
38:45Quietly.
38:46What do you need?
38:47I don't want to do this alone.
38:56He's quiet.
39:01Good job.
39:13Good job, ma'am.
39:26I'm leaving.
39:27What's up?
39:28I was just driving here and I saw you.
39:32Oh, yeah. I walk here.
39:37How's your uncle?
39:38He's all right.
39:40Oh, yeah, they said you organized for the breathing device, right?
39:43Yeah. Well, he needed it.
39:54Can I give you a lift somewhere?
39:57Are you, um...
39:59Are you looking for something?
40:03Yeah.
40:09I bet.
40:40Oh, sorry. I didn't know there was anyone in here.
40:44It's your suit for tonight's dinner.
40:47Is it just a speech?
40:49No, I couldn't get them to back down.
40:51You'll be receiving the Latino Business Association Chairman's Award.
40:57Can't phone monkey out there bring that in for me?
41:01Yes. He can.
41:03You are where you are.
41:05I've always liked the fact that you are unencumbered by excuses for it.
41:11Don't undermine yourself with shit like this.
41:13Yes, sir.
41:20Sir, I hope you don't mind me asking, but is everything all right?
41:24How long have you worked for me?
41:28Eight years.
41:30Eight years.
41:34Don't ask me that again.
41:39Yes, sir.
41:48This is it.
41:57You want to wait here?
42:02No. I'll come with you.
42:05All right.
42:25Just wait a minute.
42:25Oh, hi. Just wait here, is it?
42:26Yep.
42:33Yes, yes.
42:33I can use it. I can use it.
42:38One more time.
42:43Yeah.
43:03So, uh...
43:15Meredith?
43:17Tom? How long is this thing going to take?
43:20Forty-five minutes.
43:29Max?
43:45There we go.
43:52This is the neuromuscular blocker. It's temporary. Please try to pay attention.
44:00Hippocrates, in part, whatever in connection with my professional service I see or hear
44:06in the life of men which ought not to be spoken of. I will not divulge.
44:11As reckoning at all, such knowledge should be kept secret.
44:16I know you can't nod. I will assume you understand the content of this message.
44:36Who was there?
44:38Okay.
44:40Just give mommy a moment.
45:07Ladies and gentlemen, our friend, Thomas Kane.
45:14You are the new energy.
45:16We are the sediment. The layers beneath. You are the topsoil. The good stuff. Working. Toiling.
45:24This is your time. Because achievement does not frighten you.
45:30You know, we have an expression about pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.
45:33And I think the closest thing you guys have to it is...
45:35Here I go.
45:37Quien quere peces, que se moje el culo.
45:42Am I right?
45:50You who wants fish has to get his ass wet.
45:55My friends, as long as you're willing to get yours wet, I will get mine wet right along with you.
46:31Mr. Mayor, when you speak, we listen.
46:36Thanks.
46:38Absolutely.
47:01I can't take care of you.
47:41Thanks for doing that.
47:47Maybe I'll stay at the house tonight.
47:49You do what you want, Tom.
47:56Frank, you got your socks kept?
47:58Yeah.
47:59Hand it over with you.
48:02And pull over, please.
48:13Fellas, I'm going to need the car.
48:15Give me the coat.
48:17Thanks, Pat.
48:19You can pick this up later at the house.
48:20Go to bed.
49:10Kitty, what's your real name?
49:12That is my real name.
49:16Wait five minutes.
49:30Hello?
49:31Yeah, I got this number from Ezra Stone.
49:33Do you know how this works?
49:35No.
49:36You tell me what you need.
49:37I tell you when and where.
49:39Come alone, turn off your phone, not standby off.
49:43Is there a GPS in your car?
49:45No.
49:46All right.
49:47Tell me what you need.
50:08Hello?
50:09Dad?
50:10Emma.
50:13You called me.
50:14Hi.
50:14No, no.
50:15How are you?
50:17Wait.
50:17What is it, Dad?
50:18Listen, Emma.
50:19I'm sorry.
50:19I've got to call you back.
50:20Five minutes.
50:22Can you give me a number?
50:24The only one I have is at the church.
50:28You know, I'm going to call you back, Dad.
50:30No, Emma.
50:31No, I'll call you.
50:37Wait.
50:38Wait.
50:40I said no phone.
50:41Look, I'm sorry.
50:43Please.
50:44Wait there.
50:54Adamant Exelon L.O. Parade.
51:00You know who I am.
51:02No.
51:05It's all right.
51:44Gifts from God, the children of God.
52:14Hey, I missed you, Elia.
52:17I just wanted to thank you again for what you did for my uncle.
52:22Um, thank you for coming.
52:23No, no problem.
52:35Good night. Good night.
52:36Thank you for coming.
52:43Hey, Elia.
52:44Thank you, Elia.
54:14Who's holding out?
54:15Oh, Ross and his gang of six.
54:19The South Side Nine.
54:20The entire Gugu block.
54:23Carmona, Brown, Solström, Desgupta, Ritchie, Salamu.
54:29None of them can afford to vote no, so they're all sweating it out, hoping someone else cracks
54:33first.
54:34It's a fun little game of chicken they're playing in there.
54:37All city waste management operators have already been warned.
54:42Starting in the morning, nothing's getting picked up.
54:45Looks like we'll have a fight on this one.
54:48So be it.
54:49Yeah.
54:51You got what you were looking for?
54:53Yes.
54:55Thanks.
54:58Night, Stoney.
54:59Buzz.
55:00I was with just a drink.
55:04I'll take it.
55:06That's what I know.
55:07My fingers.
55:07The air.
55:16But the hell I got it out of here.
55:21No, no.
55:28I'm just...
55:29Let's go.
56:12You're awake?
56:14Yeah.
56:16You need a plumber.
56:19Okay.
56:21Garbage disposal. It's broken.
56:24Alright.
56:29I'll get someone at the office to send someone.
56:38Meredith.
56:43Tom?
56:49Good night.
56:50Good night.
56:57Good night.
57:00Good night.
57:09Good night.
