Unknown
All Dan Patello ever wanted to do was follow in his father's footsteps and be a police officer. But Dan wasn't prepared for the rampant corruption within the force, and upon the birth of his son, began at 10-year 'career' of, among other things, taking bribes, planting evidence and lying in court. On his son's 10th birthday, he is shot and killed by a man who he had framed years earlier.
Mr. Smith has no sympathy or patience for this dirty cop and doesn't want to defend him, seeing him as irredeemable. But Judge Othniel sees Dan's promise and sends him back as an Internal Affairs detective to prevent his younger self from starting down the wrong path. Along the way Dan discovers his father's secret, which he may not be able to accept. The judge also takes the opportunity to send Mr. Smith back as a priest with a bad record to help him learn the lessons of faith, forgiveness and patience.
