HeвЂ™s all in on this, and wants no loose ends. Frankie, when confronted with bribing the still-alive armored security, decides to murder them rather than give up chump change from the robbery to save them. HeвЂ™s a loose cannon, and going up against his brother FrankieвЂ™s wrath will prove an explosive move. His brother Jimmy looks to be his weak link, desperate for cash and unable to keep his need for money straight. It will be interesting to see what heвЂ™s building towards, if not for himself and his family.

Frankie mentions to his wife Cathy that the first truckвЂ™s haul is not enough, as though thereвЂ™s a benefactor heвЂ™s working toward paying off, or theyвЂ™re looking for a way out from it all.

Related Debris Review: A Message from Ground Control (Season 1 Episode 12) ItвЂ™s a tall order, to stand among a pit of snakes and attempt to bend them to your will, but his perseverance, and willingness to use that very system against itself at the end, makes for an interesting avenue to take his character down. His heart is too much in the right place, believing in justice and doing the right thing. The show smartly pits Decourcy against a world of injustice, where the law is malleable in lieu of favors and expediency. JackieвЂ™s not without his use, too, offering Decourcy the way to properly solving the armored truck situation. HeвЂ™s smirking and smiling and cursing his way through every scene, and a complete joy to watch.

Kevin Bacon as Jackie Rohr in in CITY ON A HILL, вЂњThe Night Flynn Sent the Cops on the IceвЂќ. Both could not be any different from each other, one a man of the law while the other skirts it any way he can. The show is more or less a co-starring affair between Aldis HodgeвЂ™s district attorney Decourcy Ward and Kevin BaconвЂ™s FBI agent Jackie Rohr.

Its starting point comes in trying to protect an FBI informant source from getting charged in a police shooting, while armored truck robberies start occurring and become a larger focus by episodeвЂ™s end. A birdвЂ™s eye view of Boston in the 1990вЂ™s becomes the focus on City on a Hill Season 1 Episode 1, вЂњThe Night Flynn Sent the Cops on the Ice.вЂќ
