Billy Brasco

Episode 3 of 4

Pastor Begbie vows to find an undercover cop called Donny who pretended to be his best friend and got him put away. He doesn鈥檛 know that 'Donny' was Billy without his moustache.

Talk of a Troubles amnesty gets Pastor Begbie thinking about all the time he spent in prison.

He remembers a guy called Donny, who he thought was his best friend. It turned out that Donny was really an undercover cop who befriended Begbie to get evidence against him. He turned Begbie in to the police and sent him to gaol.

Begbie always vowed to catch up with the 'rat'. Thinking about it makes him angry again, and he becomes determined to track him down. What he doesn鈥檛 know is that 'Donny' was actually Billy. After Begbie was arrested, Billy grew a moustache. When Begbie got out, he didn鈥檛 recognise Billy, and the moustache has been his disguise ever since. As long as he keeps it, Billy is safe.
