Charlie, it might benefit us both
if we were on more friendly terms.
You can't be both-- you're either in charge
or your someone's mate, never both.
Well, at least show some gratitude, then.
I saved your life this afternoon,
yet you've offered not one word of thanks.
Do you know how many coppers' lives I've saved?
Or how many have saved mine?
It's a given-- I'd have done the same for you.
Yes, well, even so...
Is that what you want from all this?
Someone to say, "Well done"?
Someone to tell you how clever you are?
'Cause no one did when you were a nipper?
Do the job or don't do the job.
Just don't ask me to tell you what a good boy you are.

You didn't seriously think I'd listen to you, did you?

What can I say?
I'm an optimist.
I should've known you were here.
Like you said, it's the perfect place to hide.
Mm, apparently not.
What else have you found out?
I know that Sean O'Driscoll killed your brother.
First, I thought you were running from him.
But then I realized.
You're not hiding from him.
You're hunting him.
You've found him, haven't you?

♪ ♪
Untie him,
and we'll take him to Scotland Yard.
There were two witnesses to my brother's murder.
One was Maggie, a barmaid
O'Driscoll had taken a shine to.
And the other was Eamonn.
He was in the wrong place at the wrong time.
And you killed him for it.
I got to know Maggie and Eamonn over the years.
Kept them on the payroll.
The deal was, if he ever came back,
they'd let me know.
Eamonn was as good as his word.
But I got to him too late.
That's why I moved Maggie somewhere safe.
Tell all this to the police.
What's sense is there keeping him here?
So I can put a bullet in his head.
No! Please, don't. No, no, no, no, Patrick, you're not thinking clearly.
I've never had more clarity.
My brother was the sweetest,
kindest soul you could ever meet.
The only family I had left.
And he took him from me! (pistol cocks)
If you kill him in cold blood,
you are no better than he is.
Get out of my way.
This will be murder, Patrick.
You will hang! Get out of my way!
No, Patrick, please do not do this.
If not for yourself, then for me.
For you?
All my life, I've been told
there are things that I cannot do.
And for all your faults,
and God knows there are many,
you are the only one to ever show any faith in me.

FITZROY: You'll have to testify
and explain your part in all this.
You should have contacted us when you knew where he was.
