short-term contracts.

I'm terribly sorry,

you've made a mistake. I'm a...

I'm a picture framer.

I have a small shop.

- No. No mistake. I can assure you.

- How did you get my name?

Can we meet for coffee at

the Cipriani about twelve noon?

I promise you it will be to your

considerable financial advantage.

Organized crime wrecks the lives

of millions of innocent people

and we need to do something about it.

- What exactly are you after?

- The job will take two days.

Then we pay you 50 grand.

- How much?

- 50,000 dollars. Guaranteed.

For two days?

What's the work?

To kill an extremely evil man.

To kill? What?

There's absolutely no risk.

Wait a minute,

this is some sort of a joke.

You think this is a f***in' joke?

This ain't "Candid Camera".

I'm being straight with you.

A f***ing joke!

I'm sorry. But you've definitely

got the wrong person.

- I don't think so.

- Where did you get my name?

We done a search.

If this isn't a joke, it's a mistake.

Please forget you ever met me

and I promise I won't say anything

about this to anyone. All right?

50,000 dollars is a lot of money.

You have a beautiful son.

And you're f***in' dying

of chronic myeloid leukaemia.

- What?

- It's like I said before.

We do our homework.

If you change your mind,

I'll be here for a couple of days.

- Hello.

- Tom, he's a wanker.

You wanted an innocent,

they come together.

- So he's going to deliver?

- Of course.

- What did you offer him?

- 50,000 dollars like a wanker.

- Double it. I'll pay the difference.

- You have 50,000 dollars?

Are you okay?

- You look pale.

- Just a bit shaky.

What's wrong?

I bumped into a total stranger

who knew I had leukaemia.

- The whole world knows.

- It's a small town.

Yes, I know.

- You shouldn't be ashamed of it.

- I didn't say I was.

Don't be so hard on yourself.

- Oh God, I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

It's okay.

- I'm scared.

- I know.

I just wish

everything were different.

I wish you didn't have that job.

We need the money.

Look... please.

- I apologize for upsetting you.

- Then please leave.

When you come to Berlin, I can get

you to see a top specialist,

absolutely no obligation!

I don't need

another second opinion!

Twice in my life doctors have said

I was dying. But I'm still here.

Look at me.

I'm still here.

I've been authorized

to increase the original offer.

100,000 dollars.

Look... I'm sorry.

Thank you very much for your time.

Please call me.

- Hi. Can I give you a ride?

- No, thanks.

- I'll drive.

- I like to walk.

Indulge me.

- Thanks for the party. How are you?

- Fine.

It's none of my business,

but I know you're not.

I'm sure it can't be easy
