The man at the counter proceeds to take his watch off. The thug questions him why. The man says “Never kill a man while wearing a good watch”. The man springs into action and stabs the Thug in the chest sending him to the floor. The rookie thug heads for the door as the man turns and throws the knife killing the rookie.
