The Boondock Saints: Story

The story is about two brothers, Connor and Murphy McManus, that kill 2 Russian mobsters in self-defense, and believe they are sent from God to rid the city of evil. There are 3 Russian mobsters in the very beginning that try to take over a local bar the brothers enjoy going to, and there are about 5 men at the bar, including the brothers, their Italian friend, and 2 other friends, that engage in a bar fight with the mobsters; the mobsters are outnumbered, and are beaten up. The next morning, the brothers are jumped by two of the three mobsters, and the brothers end up killing them by dropping a toilet on one of them and beating the other to death. F.B.I. detective Smecker is at the crime scene of the mobsters, and Smecker ends up with the conclusion that the boys killed them in self defense, after the brothers turn themselves in, so no charges were pressed. After spending a night in jail so the press wouldn't get involved, the brothers are picked up by their friend Rocco; while in jail, the brothers have a vision in their dreams from God that they are meant to rid Boston, their city, of crime and corruption. The brothers tell Rocco of this vision; the brothers then trade in the Russian mobster's valuables that were earlier stolen for guns and other supplies, notably silenced guns. After this, the brothers find out about a Russian mob meeting being held in a hotel, and manage to kill all 8 of them. Rocco, who was sent to kill the 8 Russians by his Italian mob boss "Papa Joe" Zakavetta, is told by the brothers that Papa Joe set him up. Agent Smecker arrives at the crime scene, and suggests that an international mob war has be triggered. Rocco finally realizes he was set up by Papa Joe, and tells the brothers to take down Papa Joe and his mob. The brothers agree, and kill Vincezo, the Yakavetta crime family's underboss. After killing a criminal that Rocco had a personal hatred for at that man's house, the three men are ambushed by Il Duce, a hitman hired by Papa Joe, as they are exiting the house. The three suffer wounds, as does Il Duce. Rocco's finger is shot off, and after the three flee the scene, agent Smecker finds it and finds out not only who the finger belongs to, but who the killers are. Then, Smecker goes to a confession stand in a church, to get advice. Without much help from the priest, Smecker decides to help the brothers take down crime, since they seem to be much better at it than himself. The brothers and Rocco attempt to break into Papa Joe's house and assassinate him and his men, but fail and are tied and bound in his basement. Papa Joe kills Rocco, then leaves his men in charge of the brothers, to do whatever they like. At this time, agent Smecker disguises himself as a woman to infiltrate the house, and kills two men before being knocked out by Il Duce. The brothers themselves brake out of their handcuffs and kills two men themselves. In honor of their friend Rocco, they begin their sacred ritual by putting pennies in his eyes and saying their family prayer. Il Duce sneaks up on them from behind, with the intention to kill them. When he hears their prayer, he realizes the two brothers are his own sons. Papa Joe has a court trial after being charges for killing 17 men; the court trial is raided by the brothers and their father, ridding the security there of their guns. The father tells everyone in the courthouse they have been chosen to witness what is going to happen, and they are to tell the world of their existence. After the brothers give a speech that their intention is to rid the city of evil to protect the innocent, the brothers and their father execute Papa Joe with two silences shots and one automatic gun shot to the back of the head. When the three men kill Papa Joe, everyone in the courtroom flees. There is a scene where the media dubbed the three men "the Saints", asking people's opinions about these saints and what they do.
