So How Was Schumer Killed?


Perhaps I missed it, but was it ever explained exactly how Schumer was killed in the opening sequence? Presumably the "consultant" who walked directly past and behind him got something into his neck, but how?

A minor point, but I am curious.

Yea, we don't see close-up what happens, but it was a safe bet that the man who bumped into him stuck him with a syringeful of poison as he passed. When Clive Owen inspects the body later he finds a tiny puncture wound in his back.

"Some ancient Italian maxim befits this situation, whose particulars escape me."

I don't think he could have had the time to stick him with a syringe and get it out. Maybe it was a tiny blow dart . . .

The "consultant" did a Georgi Markov on him
