Thomas Shelby knows what people believe in in America, and it's not just what he's picked up from television as a child. They believe in a handsome face, a good suit, and a good story told in confidence.
Thomas has all that, and a British accent that he poshes up considerably. Not that he thinks most people in New Mexico would be able to tell the Queen's English from his pure Brum one, but he'll not take his chances.
Tonight, he's set up in a nice cocktail bar near the office district. Go to a shabby place and you'll never make any money, go *too* nice and people won't be willing to interact with strangers. Lawyers and financial types looking for interesting new people is perfect.
