- was the testimony of Detillo's

Come on, son, we're gonna
be late for the policeman's ball.
- You've got to face him sometime.
- I feel like an a**hole.
Maybe you are an a**hole.
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
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?
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.

Take Bigelow.

- 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.

Mama went off this bridge.
