One night, Teddy, also one of their cousins, reappears after having spent a couple of months in prison; he will be shot on the same night by one of Jackie O's hitmen. Everyone knows that Jackie O is the one responsible for the murder but nobody speaks in front of Martin Sheen, the police inspector.
