The plot

3 men take on a heist, they think it goes well, slowly stuff about starts to unravel and peoples suspicions start to arise.

Opening scene

Set in a classy restaurant, we cut to 3 different conversations around the restaurant.
First conversation
Man in love with woman talking about life and love.
Second conversation
Man talking with a FBI officer, talking about entering the FBI.
Third conversation
Man talking to the restaurant owner about taxes and threaten him about his expenses.

As we cut from conversations, we notice they all add different outlooks and opinions about a recent jewerlly heist opposite the restaurant. As conversations end we see that the first man puts an tiny empty bottle of poison in his pocket and we see the woman slowly drinking her drink. We then see that under the table the second man has a pistol pointed at the the FBI's genitals. And the third man  slowly opens his briefcase and puts on rubber gloves and gets out a glove.

As they all exchange last words, the woman's head falls on the table, the second man blasts the FBI under the table, and the third man chokes the owner to death in the vacant room.
With everyone in the restaurant in terror they slowly stand up, regroup and walk out the restaurant together. As they walk out we turn to the right and notice the jewerlly store everyone was talking about.

Characters

Norman Oats

A very bland man. His intelligence is hidden by the expectations of others. As he doesn't shine us with a terribly appealing individual our expectations of him are low. Very misjudged, and underestimated, Norman lives his life mentally alone as he enjoys watching James bond movies, Bogart and Cagney films, cycling, and his job at a card making store. His appearance usually contains cargo pants, grey bland sweaters and shirts with glasses. Doesn't speak too much only when 'told' to. Very much like Walter White. But throughout the movie his appearance changes from Dr Jekyll to Mr Hyde.
