I've always believed that McBratney fell just so Gambino could prove a point...that this couldn't happen to his nephew without the Killer being sought out and murdered in return. Perhaps Mcbratney was innocent or simply ran with the real killers and was sacrificed.

Even if he was innocent Gambino would want people to believe he was guilty and justice was served.

It's also speculated that Mcbratney was simply a part of orchestrating the kidnapping and was the only one left on the street who could take the fall.



I believe Manny was Jospeh Gambino's son.
