Damn it. I was trying to send it to you. Thank you. I was going to say pathologically. $100,000 for the rights to cover it. Ronnie accepts the offer, takes the money, presumably. We don't have proof. And then, interestingly, his marriage to Elaine is over within a few years. Yeah. I mean, he worked the son. That's kind of great. Totally. That's a lot of money.

These guys are really good at being kind of Robin Hood-esque. Yeah. Except for the murder. Right. Ronnie Cray dies at Broadmoor in 1995 at the age of 61 after a heart attack.

Reggie dies a few weeks later on October 1st at the age of 66.

Today, the Cray brothers are buried side by side in London next to their parents. And even after their deaths, the Cray twins continue to fascinate the public. And their twisted underdog story has inspired a niche industry of books, movies and TV shows and true crime podcasts.

This includes the 2015 film Legend, where the great Tom Hardy gives a dual blockbuster performance as both brothers in one movie. If you haven't seen it, it really is the best. I haven't.

He's not just a pretty face. He's not. Let's just start crying. There's also a 1990 film starring Martin and Gary Kemp as the Kray brothers. It's called The Krays.

Many continue to capitalize off of it. There are now gangster walking tours in London that roll through the areas where Ronnie and Reggie used to hang out, including London Walks at walks.com.
