(3.67 / 3 votes)Oh, the night
Some of the boys
got loaded drunk
And they ain't got sober yet
As long as
Every man was feeling gay
O'Leary came
with the bagpipes
Some music for to play
That's how they showed their
respect for Paddy Murphy
That's how they showed
They said it was
a sin and shame
And they winked
at one another
the place was full
As Mrs. Murphy sat
in the corner
Pouring out her grief
Kelly and his gang came
tearing down the street
They went into an empty room
They put the bottle
with the corpse
To keep that whiskey cold
That's how they showed
their respect for...
They took the white
kid to the hospital.
He's in a coma.
Officer, you should
check in with the family.
Whatever you're selling,
I ain't buying.
Okay, guys, take off.
Yes, sir.
Coffee's free for
friends of the press.
was just here.
Who told you that?
You just did.
You got the names of
the victims for me?
You know I'm gonna
find out anyway.
Not from me.
Okay. You want to play
I'm not playing this
game with you, Cal.
Look, Don, I got a living to make, all right?
I got mouths to feed,
goldfish.
No names, no quotes, all right?
Okay.
Two victims,
one shooter?
Confirm.
One dead,
one in the hospital?
Confirm.
Drug related?
Confirm, but deny later if I have to.
- Good morning.
- Good morning, sir.
Okay, I'm late. I know.
I don't need to
be reminded of it.
I've been over the briefing notes 1,000 times.
Stephen.
Yes?
Metro Police just called.
What?
accident on the Metro this morning.
They identified her
by her staff badge.
Horrible news
for all of us.
But, Stephen, we're scheduled to start now.
What do you want to do?
Morning, Pittsburgh.
Yinzer.
Cal.
Morning.
Talk to me
about this shooting.
You know,
one guy's still alive.
Deshaun Stagg?
No, he's dead.
The other guy on the bike,
Vernon Sando.
Hey, Gene, did you read
Yeah, I'll get
to it, Ferris.
Because it's a great human interest
story. Yeah, human interest.
So what's the deal?
Stagg's drug deal goes wrong,
and this guy just rides by?
Yeah, something like that,
I think.
That's a remarkable
feat of survival.
Well, at least it's got a
little bit of a zip code to it.
Georgetown's the angle,
right?
No, no, the angle is
that this guy Vernon Sando
has got an MBA from Duke.
What's he doing on a bike?
He's buying
a pizza franchise.
You know,
they make you ride the bike
for the first six months,
learn the ropes.
He's got a wife, two kids,
mortgage, total citizen.
What's his condition?
Critical, non-reactive.
Paragraph three. He's in a coma.
Okay, let me know.
I will.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Welcome to our hearings with private
security contractor PointCorp,
part of the inquiry
into the Defense Department's
privatization and
outsourcing practices.
Before we begin, I've just
received some terrible news.
Sonia Baker,
who was the lead researcher
for this committee
staff, died this morning.
The circumstances of her
death are not yet clear.
Well, I'd like to send my
condolences to her family.
Oh, my God,
are those tears?
he's balling her.
Wait, you owe me 50 bucks.
Bad Congressman! Bad.
What a scumball!
Somebody get me
a picture of the girl.
Let's hope she's not
