Absolutely sure.

Oh, pity.

The next step...

is the carefully planned obliteration...

of identifiable portions

of the cadaver...

before it is found.

Features, dental structure.

Fingerprints. We can't

leave anything to chance.

No, I guess not.

Would you mind if...

Please.

Thank you.

Now, there is a problem that the

circumstances of your death...

must be simple.

A simple accident, strangely

enough, is costly, Mr. Wilson.

The trick lies in obliterating

just so much and no more, so that...

an identification still

can be made based on...

as I say, general dimensions...

plus a credible sequence of events.

Witnesses, et cetera.

The whole thing must be

very carefully staged.

We guarantee a death of this kind.

Excuse me. Delicious! They

have a wonderful way...

of baking cheese on it so

that it gets very crispy.

Now, there are any number of

ways you can be found. Excuse me.

I mean, your body can be found.

The victim of some kind

of machinery, an explosion.

A hunting misadventure.

Oh, but I think these are

somewhat too gross for you.

I had thought perhaps a hotel room fire.

Would you like me to

outline the circumstances?

No, thank you.

Oh, good. I was hoping you would agree.

No! I mean, I can't be sure.

Oh, of course.

We can't expect you

to decide all at once.

Think it over. There's so much

else to be done, Mr. Wilson...

but if I may say so...

death selection may be the most

important decision in your life.

Here are the trust instruments.

Mr. Joliffe, Mr. Brown.

My colleagues.

Now, this is your revised will...

drawn in accordance with the

requirements of the trust.

They're all predated, of

course, to save you the trouble.

It's standard procedure.

Effective at the time of your death...

the trust provides for

very liberal settlements...

on your wife and daughter...

and more than sufficient funds...

for your financial needs

in your new identity...

from sums assigned to

us as your trustees.

Insurance policies...

annuities...

real estate.

If you'll sign right here.

The staging here is rather

authentic, you'll see.

Of course, the drug made it

easier to manipulate you...

into the proper positions and attitudes.

Rest easy, Mr. Wilson.

You did not ravage our girl.

Of course, the photography

is not too professional...

but I think it's clear enough.

- So now it's...

- I have a message from Charlie.

He wanted me to tell you

that rebirth is painful.

You were going to say...

"So now it's blackmail," eh, Mr. Wilson?

- What would you call it?

- Just kind of insurance.

Isn't it easier to go forward

when you know you can't go back?

But you knew that, didn't you?
