SYNOPSIS
We open in a taekwondo dojo, seeing a nameless man get murdered by two men carrying pistols (Ash and Jimmy). Through conversation we learned that these guys are hitmen and this dead man was a target, so they begin to wait for an associate that will pick them and the body up. While waiting, they naturally start to drink. After a while and several shots, Ash reluctantly reveals that Jimmy was another one of his targets for that night. Jimmy is shocked and instinctively tries to shoot Ash, but Ash took out his bullets in the drunken haze. He tells Jimmy he just wanted some time to hang out before he did the hit because he gets rather lonely in this occupation. Jimmy tries to plead for his life, giving Ash an opportunity for mercy. Ash in his drunken state agrees not to kill Jimmy, feeling overwhelming pity at this man who he bonded with. Then, the associate coming to pick them up and killed Jimmy complete the job, then shoots Ash as he disobeyed direct orders from their boss.
