  The Score 
  'Discreet Wetwork. Fast. Clean. No Children!' 
  Death is always around us, but when is it an accident and when is it orchestrated?  How do we 
  know that the dictator of that Middle Eastern country died of a natural heart attack?  The 
  "murder for hire" business is a huge necessity and has been currently flooded with killers as of 
  late.  Now would be the best time to hang up the silenced sniper rifles and pick up the barbeque 
  cooking utensils.  But how does a person whose whole life has been about killing put away 
  those impulses and join up with the regular Joe's of society?  Who can you trust and how do you 
  learn to trust?  More importantly, how do you keep your past a secret? 
   
  Movie Night 
  Inspired by films such as Red (2010), A History of Violence, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, The Whole Nine 
  Yards, Grosse Point Blank, True Lies, Smokin' Aces, Lucky Number Slevin, Horrible Bosses,  
  and any other film that involves assassins, hitmen, mobsters, lies, spies, and people generally 
  doing heinous acts of murder for money. 
   
  A word before starting 
  When establishing relationships during the Setup, one Relationship from "Bound by Contract" 
  needs to be chosen between a pair of players so that at least one player is explicitly a 
  professional killer.  It is possible for other killers to be added in later (explicitly or implicitly), 
  but at least one professional killer must be present at the start.
