Striking Distance

Police Department, zone one.

Sergeant Roberts.

The Polish Hill Strangler

has claimed a fourth victim.

The nude body of Arlene Dunn

was recovered from the Ohio River.

Police had been alerted

to the crimes by the killer, -

- who taunts them by playing the

song "Little Red Riding Hood".

The police brutality trial

of Detective Jimmy Detillo is over.

Detillo was convicted

for the beating ofLeon Watson.

Watson remains in a coma.

The key to the conviction -

- was the testimony of Detillo's

partner and cousin Thomas Hardy.

Hardy testified that his partner

used unwarranted force.

Come on, son, we're gonna

be late for the policeman's ball.

- You've got to face him sometime.

- I feel like an asshole.

Maybe you are an asshole.

You always were kind of strange.

- I had you as a role model.

- You got that from your mother.

- I see you got the boat fixed.

- Yeah, we're going out tomorrow.

What's the latest

on Little Red Riding Hood?

We get close, he slips away.

I'm telling you, Dad, it's a cop.

Maybe an ex-cop.

Uncle Nick thinks so, too.

- Did you talk to him about Jimmy?

- We talked around it.

Every cop in Pittsburgh

thinks I'm a rat.

You're not a rat.

You told the truth. Nick knows that.

Yeah, we'll look where it's got me.

It's tough, but you know

what my dad used to say?

"Loyalty above all else,

except honour."

We're pursuing a murdersuspect.

Wejust crossed

the 31st StreetBridge.

Suspectis armed and dangerous.

- Let's go.

- So much for the policeman's ball.

Take Bigelow.

- Don't you have a date tonight?

- You're my date.

- What happened to that nurse?

- It just didn't work out.

You've got to give these things

a chance, Tommy.

That girl that works for Dutch

is awful nice.

- Is there some meaning in all this?

- Grandkids.

What?

I'm not that grown up myself yet.

- There they are.

- Go down the alley.

Send an ambulance

to the southbound tube.

We'll trap him at 2nd Ave.

Captain Hardy.

Get out of the car now

with your hands up.

- Uncle Nick.

- Is this the policeman's ball?

This is your last chance.

Get out with your hands up.

Here he comes.

He drives like a cop.

Pull up to him.

Come on, fellas, easy.

My leg!

Something's wrong with my leg.

- Where's Dad?

- Tommy, listen ...

He's been shot, Tommy.

The killer got away.

Daddy! Jesus Christ!

Look who's here.

- Tommy, sorry about your father.

- Thanks, Don.

You just couldn't stay away.

Why come to the sentencing?

We've already heard your testimony.

- Uncle Nick.

- Hi, Tommy.

- How are you feeling?

- I don't know.

- How's the leg?

- Okay.

- I don't want to be here.

- You're a better man than I am.

Tommy, they got the guy

that killed your father.

- What is this?

- His name's Kesser.

He couldn't even lift those women.

We have an eyewitness

that saw him dump a body.

- Even you said it was a cop.

- I said it could be.

Now we have a witness

that said it wasn't.

- Dad, let's go in.

- Sit down, I'll be right with you.

Go ahead. Sit down.

I'll be right in.

I don't want any problems with you.

Do you understand me?

You should be glad we caught him.

Where is he?

They're going to throw the book

at him, Nick. Your son or not.

The criminal court of Pennsylvania

is now in session.

- We don't know, Your Honour.

Jimmy ... Son, listen to me.

Listen to Daddy. We'll talk to them.

We'll work something out.

Mama went off this bridge.
