Detailed Synopsis

Ray (In Bruges)|Ray talks about being sent to Bruges, Belgium after assassinating a Priest (In Bruges)|Priest. Ray and Ken (In Bruges)|Ken arrive in Bruges and Ray complains about Bruges being a dump. They arrive at a hotel run by Marie and Ken requests two rooms that were reserved under the names Cranham and Blakely. Marie tells him they only have one room booked and there are no other rooms available due to the Christmas season. Ken tells Ray they will have to stay in Bruges until Harry (In Bruges)|Harry calls them, even if it is two weeks. They go sightseeing and Ken mentions Bruges is the most preserved Medieval town in Belgium. Ken goes up the Belfry of Bruges while Ray stays behind. Ken is short on change by ten cents, but the Ticket Seller insists he pay the proper amount. An Overweight Man, Overweight Woman and Overweight Woman 2 walk up to Ray and Overweight Man asks Ray if he has been up the belfry. Ray tells him it is trash and after Overweight Man questions him when Ray says he and his family won't make it up the belfry, Ray calls Overweight Man and his family elephants. Overweight Man chases after Ray, but can't catch him and Overweight Woman 2 calls Ray rude and calls Ken a curse word after he warns them the stairs are really narrow. At the pub, Ray suggests they wait two days and then call Harry and leave, but Ken thinks they might have been sent to do another job. Ray convinces Ken to go sightseeing during the night. Ray sees a movie being filmed with a dwarf in it and runs over to get closer as the Film Director tells Jimmy (In Bruges)|Jimmy he wants him to tip toe like a mouse. Chloe walks over to Jimmy and Ray refuses to continue sightseeing. He walks over to Chloe and flirts with her. As she is walking away, Ray tells her a lot of dwarves tend to commit suicide. When he continues to use the term midget, she corrects him and says Jimmy prefers the term dwarf. Ray invites Chloe to dinner and as she laughs and walks off she drops a card with her name and phone number on it. As Ray is leaving he gives the thumbs up to Jimmy. Marie gives Ken a message from Harry which angrily tells him to be in the hotel room tomorrow night. Ray comes in late and tells Ken about his date tomorrow with Chloe. The next morning, KEn apologizes for the message Harry left and then tells Ray they are staying in. Ray reminds Ken he has a date planned and Ken compromises as long as they do whatever Ken wants to do during the day. They go to the Basilica of the Holy Blood and Ray waits outside while Ken goes to touch a supposed vial of Jesus' blood. Ray sees Jimmy walking and waves at him, but Jimmy ignores him. As Ray sees a boy walking with his family, he has a flashback to when he shot and killed the Priest and also accidentally shot a Boy in Church who was waiting to tell his sins. They go to the art museum and look at Hieronymus Bosch's painting The Last Judgement and then discuss Heaven, Hell and Purgatory. Ken tells Ray about Danny Aliband's brother who he shot and killed when the brother tried to protect Danny and Ray expresses remorse about killing the Boy in Church and contemplates suicide. Ray takes Chloe to a restaurant on his date and he tells her he shoots people for money and she tells him she sells drugs to film crews. Ray tells a joke about Belgians and child abuse and after Chloe tricks Ray into believing one of the children murdered was her friend, she gets up to freshen up. Canadian Guy remarks to Canadian Girl how unbelievable it is that Chloe keeps on blowing smoke at them. Ray and Canadian Man start to argue and Ray punches Canadian Man, who he assumes is an American, in the nose and Canadian Woman in the face when she charges at him with a wine bottle. Chloe returns and they leave the restaurant. Ken gets the call from Harry who tells him to kill Ray after telling Ken he sent them there so Ray could have a good time before he is killed. Harry gives Ken the address to Yuri's house so he can pick up a firearm and then tells Ken to call him from Jimmy Driscoll's after he kills Ray for killing the Boy in Church. Ray and Chloe are kissing at her apartment when Eirik shows up and threatens Ray for being with Chloe. Ray takes away Eirik's gun and Chloe tells him it is full of blanks. Ray shoots Eirik in the face when Eirik threatens him with a knife and Chloe tells him, Eirik and her use the gun to rob tourists. Eirik screams that he can't see out of his left eye and Chloe leaves to take him to the hospital. Ray keeps the gun and finds a jar full of drugs and a box of ammo which he takes. At the pub, Ken motions for another beer to the Barman (In Bruges)|Barman. Jimmy walks in with Denise and Ken asks him how the movie is going. Ken compliments Denise and Jimmy admits she is a prostitute. Ray walks in and tells him how his date with Chloe went and about the drugs he stole. Ken goes to take some cocaine and Ray goes over to Jimmy and Denise and demands to know why Jimmy didn't wave back at him.
