As for their motivations, John blames Eddie for the murder of his own brother Tommy (Peter Serafinowicz) in the first season, while Freddy holds some resentment against his brother after his father wrote him out of the will, making Eddie the heir.

The duo killed Bella by rigging an airplane to explode at a certain altitude, in the hope they would kill both Eddie and Bella – but only the latter was on board.

Subsequently, they planned an assault on Halstead Manor to kill Eddie and remove any threats to Freddy’s claim.

However, this plan also goes awry, as everyone survives.

This leads to a scrap on the field outside, which ends with Eddie holding his brother at gunpoint.
