Who they are

Cornell wanted to play piano and was handed a gun trade instead, and the series keeps returning him to the keyboard as the one place he is not performing. He is the best kind of local villain: he genuinely loves the neighbourhood he is bleeding, and the laugh he does when a plan collapses is the season's most memorable sound.
