Narrative
The business man is a courier for an unknown company, delivering a briefcase. The briefcase (The contents of which are never revealed) is sought after by the Boss, who recruits a Gangster to retrieve it. The story follows the Gangster, and a voiceover (spoken by the Gangster) at the beginning provides more information about him. The Gangster intercepts the business man, killing him and taking the briefcase. He then delivers it to the Boss. They have a short discussion about what the gangster needs to do next.

Overview of Opening
The scene starts with the business man, carrying a briefcase,  walking amongst a crowd of people, leaving a train station. This starts a sequence of cuts between two characters: the business man and the Gangster. The gangster is attempting to intercept the business man, walking through narrow streets and dark areas. The business man walks through slightly brighter areas, through the city.
Eventually, on a dark street, both characters are seen, walking towards each other. The Gangster proceeds to stab the business man, taking the briefcase and walking hurriedly.
The scene then fades to the opening of an alleyway, where the gangster meets with the Boss character. The Boss takes the briefcase, checks the contents and then puts it away. The Gangster and Boss then have a short discussion about the next 'job'.
