1994
Robert Rath, a professional assassin seeking retirement, finds his final contract stolen by Michael Bain, a younger, ambitious hitman eager to replace him. Rath is then assigned to eliminate a surveillance specialist named Electra, but instead, he partners with her to retrieve valuable disks and escape their dangerous profession. They travel to Mexico to complete a bank transaction, but Bain tracks them, leading to a tense confrontation at the bank. Electra intervenes, shooting Bain, and Rath ultimately kills him. Rath and Electra leave together, free from their past lives as assassins.

Robert Rath, ElectraNo. It's the truth. I know what you are. Like me, like Bain, you're a ghost, you're not part of the real world. You don't have a social security number. You don't pay taxes. You've probably used ten different names over the last ten years. A long time ago something probably happened, something illegal and you ran, you disappeared and it was easy. You think you can do it again. But I'm telling you, fading from the law is nothing. No matter what you do, where you go, I swear to you that Bain will find you.
Oh! I got a question. Jesus, this has been driving me crazy for years -- shit, listen to me. I sound like some fucking fanboy. I'm sorry, but I just got to ask you. Everybody talks about how you left the Agency and got into the business and then how you went after the Russian, Nicholai Talinkov --
He believed it all went back to one night, when as a little girl. I watched my parents have this big fight, really big. I thought my mother was going to kill my father. Then they went into their room and made up. And I watched them make love through the keyhole.
I'm sorry, this may sound really weird, but my friend told me he slipped a letter under the door here and I was wondering if you happened to see it?
