Biography
Jimmy is a police sergeant and the cousin of Sergeant Tom Hardy, who informed on Jimmy after he used excessive force on a suspect. Jimmy is also the son of Captain Nick Detillo, another member of the police force. After Tom is involved in a police chase in pursuit of a serial killer nicknamed the Polish Hill strangler, Tom's father is shot dead and the killer manages to escape. As the police round up usual suspects, Jimmy refuses to go to prison and instead climbs to the top of the 31st Street Bridge, preparing to throw himself off in the same way as his late mother. Nick and Jimmy's brother, Danny, try and persuade him not to jump just as Tom arrives, but Jimmy jumps anyway, much to their dismay. His body disappears into the water below and is never found.

Two years later, Tom discovers that all of the young women he has had past relationships with are being murdered, and Tom eventually suspects that the killer is Danny, wanting to avenge Jimmy after initially blaming Tom for his suicide. However, inside a cabin, Tom is knocked out and awakens to find himself, Danny and Tom's new partner Emily Harper tied to chairs. Jimmy then appears before them, revealing himself to be the Polish Hill strangler. After toying with his victims, Jimmy is confronted by Nick, who points a gun at him.
