Interesting episode with an unexpected twist. The ending was not very happy though.

Definitely one of my favorite CBSRMT episodes so far. Well-written/well-acted, with a surprise ending that I never saw coming...

I hate the stories that end like this!

I have to agree with Mike. Terrific acting on the part of all, so that I did NOT expect the ending whatsoever. Loved the voice of Derry especially!

A hit man is hired to kill a gangsters competitor. The hit man has a heart and looks for a way to avoid the killing but things aren't as they seem and could backfire.

A hitman has a change of heart after meeting his intended victim's wife. However, his mercy comes back to haunt him.

A hitman is hired to take out a bookie who has gone into business for himself, thus taking profits away from his boss, who has hired the hitman. He does so partly to support his handicapped wife who apparently broke her back after an argument in which her husband critically injured her. The hitman takes pity on the beautiful woman and bargains to stage a phony murder to satisfy the boss, and allowe the two to escape. Surely such kindness and compassion will be handsomely rewarded. But this is CBSRMT…

The hit man DID commit crimes, though. Desecration of a corpse. And fraud: he took money from a mob boss under false pretenses. Still sad ending for him.
