Danny reflects that when multiple people need to be killed, the order is crucial. He remembers a story about three Albanian brothers targeted by a killer named Callum. Because Callum killed the less dangerous brothers first, the surviving brother realized he was next, set a trap, and brutally killed Callum instead.

That memory leads Danny to a practical decision: Jason Ritchie must be killed before Suzi. Danny is in Spain, having arrived by jet-ski at Playa de Bahínas, where he meets a hired killer at a beach restaurant. While eating a burger, Danny discusses the plan and asks when the first murder can be done.

The hitman says he can kill Jason the next day by posing as an Amazon delivery driver at Jason’s secluded house. After that, the hitman plans to go directly to the second target, Suzi, and wait outside her house when she returns from the school run at three. Danny approves the plan and gives the hitman the first ten thousand pounds, promising twenty thousand more on Wednesday.

Danny stresses that the killings must be quick and clean, explicitly warning the hitman not to repeat Callum’s mistake. The arrangement shows that Danny is not acting impulsively; he is carefully sequencing the murders to reduce the risk that one target might warn or protect the other.

After the deal is made, Danny imagines the outcome he wants. He expects to receive a police call telling him that his wife is dead, then fly home with a perfect alibi. Danny is already planning his future freedom: selling the house, leaving his son with his grandfather, and starting a new life abroad.
