The Mad Axeman
Synopsis
As Christmas fast approaches, the characters locked in the flat become desperate, fearful and suspicious. At the behest of the Krays, Frank writes to the Home Secretary, and his case is debated in the Houses of Parliament. If he receives a parole date, he will agree to hand himself back in. This offer is declined and Frank becames a liability.
Frank falls in love with the hostess 'Lisa', and the dysfunctional family enjoy a final Christmas Eve dinner. On Christmas day, Frank thinks he is leaving the flat to go to the countryside and to be the Kray's right hand man. In fact he is taken outside, put in a van and shot multiple times.
