Hey gang,
Wasn't Burke Devlin a scapegoat for Roger "The Dodger" Collins? Five years in the slammer for a crime you didn't commit would be enough to embitter anyone, don't you agree? (Think "Shawshank Redemption.")
Somehow, I don't think that Roger's belated admission of guilt would be enough to assuage the hot-tempered Mr. Devlin.
Bob the Bartender, who wonders if Burke Devlin (had he not gone down in that jet plane in Brazil) would have foregone any acts of vengeance against Roger, a la Vito Corleone?
