Harry insists he must go to his brother's house to repair the table leg he broke. He is delighted to finally be out and his brother is clearly delighted to see him, but hides concern for his brother with false cheer. They repair the table leg, Harry cuts himself badly, realizes how quickly his life is ebbing away as he sees the blood flow. Harry asks his brother to come and play pool, but his brother dismisses the idea, so Harry finds someone in a pub to play pool with. The people in the pub think the table leg is a gun, they call the police. The police come and, just as Harry resolves on a plan for the rest of his life, shoots him in the back.
