Under Hellgate Bridge Page #4

I just don't know enough

about what's going on.

Sometimes I can help.

- Come inside.

- No, I can't.

Come inside

the confessional.

I can help.

(heavy breathing)

Yes...

Ryan!

I knew you were

gonna be here.

Hey.

Jimmy and me used to come up

here, you could never find us.

Bullshit, I knew

where you were.

I just didn't wanna

spoil it by finding you.

- You can see Manhattan from here.

- Yeah, there's more past that.

Not for me. Not anymore.

- What about Jersey?

- Oh, Jersey! Ew!

Come on, pack your bags,

get your sh*t, we'll just go.

- Hey, come on, stop that!

- Hey, Ryan's rules are back!

I'm your big brother.

I'm supposed to watch out for you.

You were supposed to look out

for me and Jimmy.

- That was your job.

- It's not too late.

- Jimmy might think so.

- (beeper sounding)

- Gotta go.

- Is that Vincent?

H ey, you see this?

Some people make it outta here

and some people don't.

You did it the hard way

but you made it out.

I didn't. I'm still here.

This is my world. And I like it.

He's calling me,

I gotta get back to it.

Do you, Eddie,

I mean, do you really?

Yeah.

Eddie, come on,

I'm still your big brother.

Yeah... you're still

my big brother.

Hey.

I'd invite you in,

but you know how she is.

Um, this is some

of Jimmy's stuff.

There wasn't much left.

He just about sold everything.

You sure you don't

want any of this?

I'm sorry, but I gotta

walk away from this.

I feel like I've been

hit by a freight train.

It's been hard on me.

It's been really hard.

Oh, uh... these are...

Jimmy's letters

that you returned unopened.

It hurt him that

you wouldn't read them,

but he wrote you

all the time.

He just stopped

mailing them. I guess-

he didn't want you to know

he was in trouble.

Didn't want to bother you

with that stuff.

H e wrote up until the end

and towards the end

he was just- well, you wouldn't

have recognized him.

Woman:
Marsha.

I gotta go, Ryan.

I gotta go.

You know, when we were

all growing up,

you three brothers

were really something.

You were really

something.

What happened, Ryan?

What happened

to all of us?

Mitch, what exactly

did he say to you?

He said he'd be here.

Where is the little prick?

Three times I paged him,

nothing.

That whole f***ing family was always

just one big piece of sh*t.

We'll find him.

I want him out

on the street now.

And no more f***-ups.

Doreen:

Eddie! Get up!

Eddie!

Get up!

What happened! What did he have?

What'd you give him?

What did he take?

What did he take?

Eddie, come on,

breathe, Eddie. Breathe.

Doreen, call an ambulance.

Doreen, call an ambulance.

Eddie, come on.

Eddie, come on.

Roll over, cough it up,
