During the movie, Hoyt often does the opposite of what Alonzo tells him to do. He tells Hoyt not to get involved with anything but organized crime, and avoid wasting time with small crimes, but he helps the girl who is getting raped (which eventually saves his life), he tells him never to mention his family while working, but he says he's married and has a daughter when he's about to be shot in the tub, he tells Hoyt never to enter the rough neighborhood "Jungles" without him, but he does (which eventually helps him catch Alonzo).
