action

Jerry and Tom are in an otherwise empty bar with a man who is tied up. They are waiting for a call to confirm the order. Jerry is quite nervous and is playing around with his gun. To bridge the gap, they tell jokes. But Jerry doesn't like the jokes of the man who is tied up and his head is covered.

There is a flashback. Jerry and Tom work for a used car dealer called Billy. This has apparently been doing contract killings as a side business for years. Vic, another employee, was initially responsible for this, then Tom and later Jerry slipped into this business too. Time flies. Vic, who is said to have been commissioned by John F. Kennedy to kill Marilyn Monroe but then had an affair with her and is said to have shot the president in revenge for her death, is retiring and intends to write a book about his life under a pseudonym to publish. Billy, who wants to continue working in the sideline, does not fit and assigns Tom and Jerry to dissuade Vic from his plans or to murder him. When Vic does not want to give up his project, Jerry deviates from the usual procedure and kills him with a syringe. Tom, who was friends with Vic while Vic never liked Jerry, is upset about this.

Over the years, Jerry has become more and more out of the ordinary. He says that when his baby wouldn't stop screaming, he put the barrel of his gun to his head. During an assignment, he shoots an innocent bystanders, whose death ultimately brings about Tom. They later travel to Florida with their families for a contract killing. Contrary to Tom's protests, Jerry shoots the victim in front of the public.

The plot returns to the opening sequence. Tom takes Billy's call. But instead of shooting the man who is tied up, he stabs Jerry, then frees the man and goes to the jukebox. The man in chains announces that he will also kill Tom, who saw it coming.
