- Not what you'd expect.

Come on in, Tom.

Tom Hardy, Jo Christman.

She's a police officer,

a qualified diver and a paramedic.

- Hi, nice to meet you.

- Nice to meet you.

- No.

- Okay.

- Can I ask you what he said?

- No.

Thanks.

I hope she floats.

You want to get

that stern line, please?

- Afternoon.

- Hello.

Give me the bottle.

Let me rephrase that:

Give me the bottle now.

- You know this is a no-wake zone?

- No, sir, I didn't.

- Drive a little slower next time.

- We have to give them a ticket.

- No, we don't.

- They were speeding.

You better do it. I'm not sure

I can stand the excitement.

Sir, I need your registration.

- Hardy, did you see that?

- Yeah.

Take the wheel.

Keep heading up the river.

Tell Penderman to send backup.

River Rescue, this is 9221, over.

Land shark.

How many men upstairs?

Let me rephrase that.

- Two, plus a pilot.

- Close your eyes. Close 'em.

Where's the $200,000?

I'll blow your head off.

Pittsburgh Police.

We have two choices here.

You either put the guns down

or we all start shooting.

I'll shoot!

Hey, man, untie us!

Behind you!

Thanks, Dutch.

Hey, you did really good

out there tonight.

- Thanks, Hardy.

- Really good.

- Thanks.

- Goodnight.

- I've never had a woman partner.

- Neither have l.

- You guys are understaffed.

- This is the new effiiciency system.

- See you tomorrow.

- No, I'm off until Wednesday.

Damn it!

Hello.

Who is this?

Who is this?

PITTSBURGH DEPARTMEN OF PUBLIC SAFTEY

KESSER:

CHICANIS:

Tom, what are you doing here?

Are all the bars closed?

Just visiting some old friends.

- You don't have any old friends.

- Who'd know that better than you?

Yeah, old friends.

Goddamn it. Mother f***er!

He was in the Polish Hill files.

Hey, Tom.

What are those? What is that?

What? This?

Nothing, just some papers.

As the ltalians say, "Don't scald

your tongue on another man's soup."

There's an lrish saying:

"Never listen to ltalian sayings."

I knew this was going to happen.

You just won't let go, will you?

I can't lay down on this.

My father's in a grave ...

- We've got the guy who killed him.

- A cop killed my father!

- Kesser doesn't have the brains.

- He was convicted in court ...

- Answer me!

- I'm telling you!

Your father is dead

and this case is closed!

If you can't accept that,

that's your problem.

I can take that gun and that badge

away from you right now.

- Is that what you want?

- Do what you got to do, Nick.

Hardy, we're out of our patrol zone.

Will you tell me where we're going?

We're going to visit a friend.

I'll break here for dinner.

I'll be back.

Right ... I'll just stay here

and watch the boat.
