My last confession?

I'm a married man.

I have no sins to confess.

You're a police officer.

You got a lot of sins to confess.

He's got your number!

- Is that your impression of police officers?

- I want to see you in church Sunday, okay?

I feel better when you're in church, okay?

You don't show up, I'll call your mother!

I wish you would. She loves you.

Why don't you go to church?

It'll be good for you.

Get your soul saved.

Our leaders tell us...

...and talk to us about them and us.

But almighty God talks to us...

...about all of mankind...

...as one.

Now, we have an obligation...

...to find out what is the truth.

We need to study. We need to question.

We need to read and we need to find out...

...what they are doing in our name.

And we must support those brave souls...

...who seek...

...the truth.

God bless us. Amen.

Get down!

There's nothing else we can do.

Lord God, Heavenly Father...

...receive the soul of our dear

departed friend, Father Joseph Gennaro.

Come on.

Get a list of everybody treated here today.

Everybody.

Find those sanctuary people...

...the ones we found hiding

in the bottom of the church.

I want to know where they're from

and who might want to harm them.

Where are you gonna be?

Just stay by the radio. I'll find you.

- He didn't make it.

- Oh, Nico!

Oh, no!

Lieutenant Strozah, these are FBI agents:

Halloran, Neeley.

Sweetheart, go to the car.

I'll be right there, okay? Take Mama.

Nico, you okay? How's the family doing?

Excuse me. I'd like to have a word

with you.

Alone.

What the hell is it?

It's you, that's what the f*** it is!

Keep your goddamn hands off me!

- You let Salvano walk.

- Salvano?

Yeah.

What are you, crazy?

What does he have to do with this?

That was no cherry bomb, that was C-4.

I've used that sh*t. I know what it

smells like and what it blows like.

Salvano never came near that C-4.

It's in federal holding right now.

Besides, why would Salvano

blow up a church?

I tailed him two days ago.

He and his goon were in that church

and they weren't taking communion.

I saw the woman who planted the bomb

and she was with Salvano's lawyer.

Now, I want some f***ing answers.

You tailed him after I ordered you off?

I want to know where Salvano is.

My orders were to release him,

not babysit him.

You think you're rough stuff.

Martial arts hero, chop-suey crap!

Let me tell you something.

You're not bulletproof.

You're not even a good cop.

You sneak around

playing your street-dick games...

...and all you come up with is conjecture,

wild coincidence and bullshit!

I want the name of the federal agent

who signed for those explosives.
