mike, remember serpico got shot in the face.

all he wanted was to get back to manhattan and instead he got shot at, called self-obsessed by his old captain (who was never looking to do him any favors to begin with), and busted his friend. oh, and got a lecture on loyalty from everyone at the 2-7 who apparently started hating his guts the day he got booted to staten island and never called or checked up on him.
