have a job to do, just like we do.

It's their game, let them play it.

What I'm about to say

does not leave this room. Is that clear?

Mr. Salvano has been working

for some time...

...in cooperation

with certain federal agencies.

I'm not at liberty to divulge the nature

or extent of Mr. Salvano's involvement.

I just learned of its existence myself

a few hours ago.

One thing I can tell you

is that Mr. Salvano's role...

...is crucial to an extremely sensitive,

ongoing investigation.

Any surveillance...

...harassment or unauthorized operations

against this individual are forbidden.

I order all of you, with due respect

for your work and your courage...

...to stand down.

Why don't you a**holes

stand down on this?

You're gonna need me.

Need you. For what?

To get your ass out of jail.

You think you can afford my bail?

No.

Neither do I. Not on this pay.

You'll end up in jail for a long time,

I have the strangest feeling.

You're jealous 'cause I'm gonna stay a cop.

What the f*** is this? Go back to work.

Here we go.

What are you thinking?

Isn't this your mother's church?

Yes, but I'll bet she hasn't seen these boys

in the choir.

Hey, Nico!

I can't believe you're in church

without your family.

Hello, Father. How are you?

This must be your partner in crime.

- Delores Jackson.

- I'm Father Gennaro.

I saw you at the baptismal party.

- Nico, we gotta go!

- No, please. Wait.

God, it's good you're here.

If you got a few minutes,

there's something I'd like to show you.

Please.

I haven't been down here since I was a kid.

What's this?

The rats are getting bigger.

- When did this happen?

- Two nights ago. I didn't call the police.

What do they want, the bingo receipts?

These are friends.

Father Tomasino, this is Nico.

- Mucho gusto, Padre.

- How do you do?

- Sister Mary.

- Hi, Nico.

- Delores.

- How do you do, Father?

- Seora, mucho gusto.

- Hello.

My friend, Father Tomasino,

is working with the sanctuary movement.

He's visiting...

...helping his people work out

some of their immigration problems.

Sorry to have troubled you.

Nico, we must go.

Gracias.

Nice meeting you, sir.

Bye-bye.

- How long have those people been here?

- Too long.

At least the children go to our school.

Who do you think broke into the room?

Kids, maybe. Maybe worse.

It's not the first time.

Would you like us to send a car

to check on you?

No, please. Police frighten these people.

I know what you mean.

They frighten me, too.

It's too far out of your way.

I can't ask you to go to that much trouble.

Look, I really don't mind coming by.

Promise, okay? All right?

Say, Nico, by the way,

when was your last confession?
