Jimmy Conlon is the main protagonist of the 2015 action thriller Run All Night.
A retired hitman and enforcer for his best friend turned nemesis Shawn Maguire, the leader of the Irish Mob. After Shawn's son Danny is witnessed committing a murder by Jimmy's son Michael, Jimmy is forced to go against his best friend in order to ensure that his son is saved.
Jimmy was born in Hell's Kitchen New York on June 7, 1952, to Margaret Conlon and an unnamed father. He has an older brother named Eddie. At some point in his youth he met and befriended another Irish youth from the neighborhood named Shawn Maguire. The two men would become inseparable from that point on, doing everything together.
One night in the summer of 1970 both young men had a night of drinking with two women from the neighborhood Jenny Blake with Shawn and Maureen Galvin with Jimmy, while both young men were having sex with the woman Shawn's father came home and yelled "who's been drinking my scotch". This caused Jenny to become frightened and smack her head on the bedpost knocking her unconscious.
It is implied that both men enlisted in the military together in the fall of 1970 and served in the Vietnam War. At some point in the mid to late 1970's Shawn would befriend a man named Pat Mullen and together with Jimmy would go to work with, then run the Irish Mob in New York. At some point in October 1984 Jimmy would commit his first murder for Shawn. From that point onward Jimmy would commit anywhere from 17 to 21 murders for Shawn. The most notorious of these would be the murder of his own cousin, Billy Conlon, in April 1988.
At some point in the 80's both Jimmy and Shawn would have sons, Michael and Danny, respectively. Jimmy loved Michael, though he was absent often from the home. Michael would describe how he and his mother would worry about Jimmy constantly, and often find guns all over the house.
On December 24, 2014, Jimmy awakes in a bar called The Abby and attempts to get an $800 loan from Shawn's son Danny to fix the heater at his house. Danny decides to give Jimmy the money in exchange for him being Santa at a Christmas party, which Jimmy begrudgingly agrees. At the party Jimmy is shown heavily intoxicated and attempts to hit on fellow mobster Frank's wife. Jimmy than burns his hand on the fireplace and is taken upstairs to sober up. While in the room Shawn comes to comfort Jimmy and find out what's going on. Jimmy tells him that his guilt will not let him sleep, and that he has no one left in his life because of the things he has done. Shawn comforts Jimmy and lets him know that, when they cross that line, they will go together.
Later that night Jimmy is seen drinking at a local restaurant, when Detective Harding comes in by chance and attempts to get Jimmy to tell him how many people he has murdered, while leaving Jimmy his business card. Jimmy sits at his house watching a hockey game until he gets a call from Shawn, who says that Jimmy's son Michael saw Daniel kill someone and asks him to tell his son to keep quiet. Jimmy grabs his gun from under the sink and drives to Michael's house. The two men share an awkward reunion in which Mike refuses to let Jimmy meet his granddaughters. Jimmy then leaves but notices Danny's car. He opens the door and shoots Danny before he is able to shoot Michael. Jimmy than calls Shawn and informs him that his son is dead.
Jimmy is presented at the beginning of the of the film as a rather pathetic man past his prime. He is extremely depressed and a massive alcoholic. However when pushed over the edge Jimmy is shown to be nothing like the pathetic man he seems as he is absolutley ruthless towards those that threaten him or his family. As shown in his fight with Frank ...
