In an elevator, Bill, on his way to his lover's place, is approached by Reese, who informs him that the two men standing behind them are hit men, sent by his wife to kill him because he is cheating on her. Before they can strike, Reese intervenes and puts them out of action by shooting them in the legs, suggesting Bill, "call the police and a good divorce lawyer." A pay phone rings on a New York street. A man with a British accent answers it, and is given a high priority job to do at, "triple the usual fee." He asks for the name, but says no more.
