"He was a bit naughty as well!"

Sean promises to make up what he forgets about meeting "Mad" Frankie Fraser.

"Was there someone in the Kray gang," Sean asks, "who was known as Paddy the Hat, or Jack the Hat?"

Jamesey Kelly in Strabane confirms: "Yes, Jack 'The Hat' McVitie." And John adds that The Krays, the notorious East End gangsters, "did him in".

"Was there a murder in the famous pub?" Sean asks. "'We gotta get Jack the Hat. He's been talking...?'"

An anonymous caller says they were in the pub the week after the killing. "It was business as usual."

"If I were on Millionaire," Sean says, "I would get the name of the pub, if I had a choice of four."

"It was the Blind Beggar pub," Mick says.

"Jack the Hat wasn't killed in the Blind Beggar," says Patsy in Strabane. "He was killed at a house party."

"I'd have lost a million quid," says Sean.

"Wasn't there another boy," says Gerry, "called Mad Frankie Fraser? He was a bit naughty as well...?"

"I met him," Sean says. "It was at a bus station, and we got talking. Can't remember what we talked about. But there's a chapter in a book about it. I'll make it up."
