By organized crime in the city, you know who we mean; that's Jackie Costigan, that's an old picture. Jackie met his demise. Last known photograph. Costello uses three key guys: that's Fitzy; off-the-boat psycho who lives with his mother, who's straight out of Going My Way. Delahunt; muscle. French; the number one. But of course the rock star; you know who. We've done a briefing. Books, so read up. I want any and all ideas so I can pass them off as my own. Word hard, you'll rise fast. You're in the best possible position in the department. Let's go to work."
