Why did the 5th hitman take that crap deal? He could have said no. Obviously he had "sell my lethal services for an exceedingly low sum" remorse or something like that..

Just say no and force the 4th hitman to follow through. Unlikely any other assassin would have taken that bad deal. Obviously glad he did and it worked out that no one was murdered, but still, he could have said no.



Because those are not hitman but scammers. Take some buck and doing nothing is not a bad deal, if ignoring the risk.


> take that crap deal?

1. It's a signify amount of money in China

2. You don't know if he needed the money (it may have been a fantastic deal to him).

3. He came up with a work-around — he asked victim to fake his death so he could get payout — workaround later failed for other reasons.
