The Story

Victor Maynard is the best and most expensive hitman in London, having taken over from his late father and his mother, who is now residing at “Memory Lane” and would love to see him settling down and getting a heir.
Rose is a thief and sells fake paintings and ends up tricking Ferguson into buying a fake Rembrandt. Ferguson therefore hires Victor to kill her, but Victor fails when he begins to fall in love.
When Ferguson’s bodyguards Mike an Barney take it upon themselves to kill them both, Victor and Rose go on the run – along with Tony, who got caught in the crossfire. They find a room in a Hotel – only two rooms next to Ferguson’s suite.
With some luck (and a baby’s help), Victor, Rose and Tony once again manage to escape and find refugee at Victor’s house on the countryside, while Ferguson sends Hector Dixon, the second-best and almost-most-expensive hitman, after them…

Rupert’s character

Tony works at a car park washing cars by hand, and meets Victor Maynard and Rose when they have a run-in with Ferguson’s bodyguards. Mistakenly believing Victor to be a private detective, Tony becomes his apprentice and joins Victor and Rose on the run.
