[x] Remove Ad
Sam discovers many of his colleagues are taking bribes from a local gangster, and resolves to put a stop to police corruption. However, a skeleton in Gene's cupboard makes him reluctant to join the crusade, and his fears are underlined when a young woman mixed up in the case meets a grisly end. The 21st-century detective also can't resist tracking down his mother, who is facing money worries.

Sam: He's gay?
Gene: As a bloody Christmas tree! Mind you, he is a little touchy on the subject being a twisted Catholic with an elderly mother and all so I wouldn't go mentioning it to him.
| Gene: You do not humiliate my officers.
Stephen Warren: If you can't keep your people in line, I'll do it for ya.
Gene: I'm the sheriff, Warren, and don't you ever forget it!
Stephen Warren: No, no, Mr. Hunt. You're a bent sheriff, don't you ever forget that!
