The Corrupt Cop: Police lieutenant with connections to mob boss Doyle Lonnegan.
Lowest Moment: After catching grafter Johnny Hooker and explaining that the money he successfully conned belongs to Lonnegan, Snyder demands to get paid part of Hooker’s share. Hooker proceeds to pay him in counterfeit notes.

The Corrupt Cop: The crude, ill-tempered split-personality of Rhode Island State Police trooper Charlie Baileygates.
Lowest Moment: With prison escort Irene slowly falling for nice-guy Charlie, Hank poses as his more polite other-self and tricks Irene into sleeping with him. Although is it really technically ‘cheating’ if... nope, our mind has drawn a blank.
