If that isn’t the ultimate sacrifice, then what is? He does all this, just to protect his family from the life he got himself into all those years ago. He just stands there, ready to meet his long-awaited fate. But he doesn’t try to run, nor does he put up a fight.
When he hears the hitman Vito Scaletta say his name, he knows what’s coming next. Tommy’s final moment as an older man is an act of sacrifice. Throughout the game, Tommy reveals his dealings with the Salieri family to a detective. That’s not the only sacrifice Tommy has to make though. He succeeds, sending Salieri down, but it means sacrificing himself, having to spend 8 years in prison. To ensure the safety of his family, Tommy consults with Detective Norman, as seen in the intro and during intermissions throughout the game, spilling the beans on the Salieri mob. Not only does he want out, but he wants to make sure that Salieri can’t bring harm to anyone else. It’s at this point that he realizes what he’s got himself into. When Paulie and Frank are killed under Salieri’s orders, Tommy wastes no time in getting revenge. Tommy might be willing to please Don Salieri, but that doesn’t stop him from going behind his back to help his friends. When Frank and Paulie want to leave their life of crime behind, he willingly helps them.
Working with the Salieri family may not be morally right, but Tommy isn’t afraid to make the right decision. Tommy will gun down mooks and bad guys, but he will not slaughter an innocent person.
He is clearly very shaken by this, calling Vincenzo in a panic. At one point, Tommy makes a horrible mistake when he has the wrong person killed with a car bomb. Tommy is hesitant at times to kill and is unnerved by what he witnesses during his time as a mob member. Sarah becomes an important part in Tommy’s life, particularly after they get married.
