During the events of In Bruges (2008) played by Brendan Gleeson
Ray and Ken arrive in Bruges and Ray complains about Bruges being a dump. They go to 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 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. Overweight Woman 2 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. 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. 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. 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. At the pub, Ken motions for another beer to the 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 later they all go to a room and do drugs together along with Kelli. Jimmy tells everyone his theory on an upcoming race war and Ken tells Jimmy his wife was black. Ken and Ray leave after Ray chops Jimmy in the neck for trying to take more of the drugs for himself. Ken goes to Yuri's house and gets the gun to kill Ray and Yuri suggests a location to kill Ray. As he returns to the hotel, Marie tells Ken, Ray was acting weird and gave her 200 Euros to give to her unborn baby. She gives Ken the money and tells Ken where Ray was heading to. As Ken is about to kill Ray, he stops when Ray is about to shoot himself in the head. They argue about who is allowed to kill Ray and Ken takes away Ray's gun. Ken decides to put Ray on a train and send him away and deal with Harry himself and Ray cries about killing the Boy in Church. Ken tells Ray the reason they were sent to Bruges and then Ray takes a train out of Bruges. Ken calls Harry and tells him he let Ray go. Harry and Ken sit down and Ken explains to Harry why he spared Ray. Harry tells Ken, he doesn't care if Ray is suicidal and would have killed himself on the spot if he had killed a kid. Harry and Ken decide to go to the belfry to sort things out. The Ticket Seller tells Harry and Ken that the belfry is closed due to Overweight Man having a heart attack. Harry tries to bribe the Ticket Seller, but the Ticket Seller takes the money and throws it at Harry's head and proceeds to shove his finger into Harry's head while telling him the belfry is closed. Harry beats the Ticket Seller to death with his gun and follows Ken up the belfry. Ken refuses to gun fight with Harry and Harry can't make himself kill Ken and instead, shoots Ken in the leg. Eirik sees Chloe and Ray together and as Harry is carrying Ken down the belfry, Eirik tells him Ray is in Bruges. Harry shoots Ken in the neck and starts to run down the stairs as Ken climbs back up. Ken climbs to the edge of the belfry and throws down coins to clear the area before jumping off the tower. Ray runs over to Ken who tells him Harry is there and Ken gives Ray his gun, which is broken, before dying.
