As a sequel, this film has a more in-depth description of the financial system of the killer world. For example, the male protagonist does have a lot of income as a "legend" among the population.

In the film, there are two shots depicting the male protagonist’s deposits. About three stacks of gold coins are missing at home, two of which are in the bank safe, and the rest were spent in the first movie. It can be seen that the protagonist is a good person who does not like to spend money. man.

There are a total of 24 stacks of gold coins, and the number of each stack fluctuates around 35. The protagonist has accumulated about 840 gold coins for many years.

There are also prices in the killer world

The hotel price in both movies is a gold coin per night, and this price is universal.

Four coins are required to unlock the hidden route and three keys

Only one gold coin is needed to seek asylum in danger

Two glasses of wine (including tip) need a gold coin

Killing two people saved the life of the male protagonist, the processing fees for the two corpses and subway surveillance video (the killers who died before are not considered for the time being), plus the travel expenses and sling money, I don’t know how many people are behind the scenes. Working together can only earn two glasses of wine money in high-end hotels, which shows the hardships of people at the bottom of society.

While studying prices, I discovered a terrible detail

At the beginning of the movie, there are scenes of smuggling by taxi

Coke, gold bricks, gold coins, U.S. knives

A close-up of a banknote in another shot is zoomed in and reversed

The same number indicates that this is a batch of counterfeit banknotes. Will the gold coins shipped together be also counterfeit coins? After all, these wooden boxes appeared in a later plot

Manager had such a conversation with someone

Impeccable: impeccable (no problem)

Put these into circulation: put them into (currency) circulation

Nice job, nice job

Just three sentences contain a lot of information:

Impeccable is obviously not a word used to describe common currencies, and he used a jewelry appraisal magnifying glass when examining these gold coins, which is also very interesting

The word "Put" is used very informally and casually, which makes people feel like they are operating secretly.

The last two compliments are more like appreciation for the manufacturing level of this batch of counterfeit coins.

So what exactly is Winston's true identity? Two possibilities can now be guessed:

1. He has a head and a face, and eats black and white, but he is not the kind of person who can control finance at the top of the pyramid, and he has direct communication with high-level people, so his counterfeit currency business is very likely to have been tacitly approved or even upper-level instruction.

2. One of the high-level characters, even the real Manager (very in line with his principled character in the movie), hides his identity in order to better monitor and control the entire underground world

Regardless of the possibility, after these killers realize that the gold coins they use every day, the gold coins that symbolize their status and status, and the gold coins obtained by terminating the lives of others and even friends, are just a manipulation tool for managers, they will not hesitate. Did you pull the trigger?
