Murphy: About an hour later, the phone rings. It's Harry. He's talking like a goddamned machine gun, going on and on about a horserace back in '79.

Murphy: It was a drugstore handicap, big windup, around the time The Boss and the Rabbi set up shop in New York, before people started waking up with knives in their backs. Anyway, he goes on about this local legend about this kid.

Murphy: But when The Rabbi and The Boss find out the fix is in, well, they are the opposite of happy. Word comes down an example is to be made. These guys kill everyone. And I mean everyone. Max, his wife, his kid, Roth. Even the goddamn horse died. These guys went to town with a tomahawk. It was a fuckin' massacre. They had to bring in a specialist to do the kid; 'cause nobody would take the job.

Murphy: So, Harry's going on about how they had to bring in a specialist to kill the kid, but I ain't seeing the connection, so I says, "Harry, what does any of this have to do with the case?" He says, "The horse's name." I say, "What about the horse's name?" He says, "The horse's name was Lucky Number Slevin."

Slevin Kelevra: The two of you killed everything I ever loved. Fuck you both.

Murphy: Now, there is no such person as Slevin Kelevra, as far as I can tell, which means the kid was using a pseudonym, which is kind of interesting,him picking the name of a dead racehorse and keeping company with The Boss and The Rabbi, seeing as how they had some involvement with that very same horse.

Murphy: One more thing. We got a new guy in the precinct. Jewish fella... funny little guy, talks a lot. Anyway, in case you're interested, he says the name Kelevra is Hebrew. Says it means...

Slevin Kelevra: Bad dog.

Murphy: Brikowski, you there?
