Later, Bishop finds that his new assignment is to kill Harry. Bishops employer confirms by phone that the contract is correct, whereupon Bishop requests a facetoface meeting. Dean tells Bishop about a failed mission in South Africa, in which assassins of Bishops agency were killed. Dean relates that only two people knew about the missionhimself and Harryand that Harry had been paid for the contract details. Bishop reluctantly kills Harry with his own gun and makes it look like a carjacking. At Harrys funeral, Bishop meets Harrys reckless son Steve, who swears vengeance anyway he can. Bishop stops Steve from trying to bait and kill a wouldbe carjacker and decides to train him as a mechanic. He adopts a chihuahua and instructs Steve to take the dog with him to a coffee shop each day at the same time. As Steve settles in to his routine, Bishop escalates his training by taking him to observe a contract kill.Bishop later gives Steve a contract of his own. The target is a mechanic for another agency named Burke, who frequents the same coffee shop as Steve. Burkes only weaknesses are that he is interested in young men and small dogs. Burke makes his move on Steve and invites him out for drinks. Bishop instructs Steve to slip a large dose of Rohypnol into Burkes drink to cause an overdose. Steve ignores the instructions and instead goes with Burke to his apartment. Burke begins to undress, and Steve attempts to strangle him with a belt as Bishop had done with an earlier assignment. Steve manages to kill Burke after much effort and a lengthy fight. Dean expresses his disapproval of Bishops use of Steve for the Burke contract, but Bishop replies that he was given that contract through Harry and not Dean. ........
