*CompleteMonster: Mobster Billy Burke, an {{arms dealer}} based in New York City, crosses paths with Frankie "The Angel" [=McGuire=], alias Rory Devaney, who expresses interest in purchasing Stinger missiles for [[UsefulNotes/TheTroubles the IRA]], missiles that would cause much damage. Despite Burke's efforts to secure the deal, Frankie hesitates, leaving Burke in a dire financial situation after acquiring the Stingers. To exert pressure, Burke dispatches his henchmen to vandalize the residence of police officer Tom O'Mara, where Frankie had been staying, and they hold Tom's wife hostage. Burke captures and mercilessly beats Frankie's friend Sean Phelan, seeking revenge, before [[OffWithHisHead gruesomely decapitating]] the latter. Further belittling Frankie's intellect, Burke demands that he hand over the owed money. While he is brought down by Frankie's cleverness, Burke is the worst America has to offer: an individual whose own {{greed}} fuels his violence, not caring about the collateral damage as long as he gets paid.
