Synopsis/Details
A young hit man turns up at the apartment of his older and more experienced partner. They have been assigned a new hit but Willem (the older man) is in no hurry. He suggests a coffee in a local outdoor bar. As they are served, Willem accuses Frank (the younger man) of sleeping with his wife. Frank admits to it, but without contrition. ‘She’s too young for you, Willem’. They agree to put the issue behind them and proceed with the hit. But walking down a quiet alley Frank realizes that Willem, behind him, has drawn his weapon. He tries to placate Willem but is told to keep walking. If he can make it to ten paces he will live. At ten, Frank thinks he is safe. But he is not.
