Malicious Intent
Synopsis
Three days later, during a party at Joe's house, two heavies arrive to kill Dudley, but a case of mistaken identity leaves an innocent dead. Dudley's plans to run are heightened, but he must wait for the proceeds from his dealer friend Ashraf. He blackmails Joe into getting rid of the body. We flash back in Dudley's mind to Jimmy McCarthy's bar; Dudley is almost drowned at the hands of Jimmy's bodyguards and a coke gun. Jimmy gives him a chance to redeem himself and return the goods.
Joe is close to breaking point, changes his mind about dumping the body and confronts his amoral sibling with the intent of involving the police. But coupled with the investigation of the case and the latest murder, Dudley finds it easy to manipulate him and buy more time.
Ashraf is concerned for his own safety, but agrees to help by sending a courier with some money. Unfortunately the courier never makes it as Jimmy McCarthy and his heavies arrive first. Jimmy, angry and frustrated, with a bloodied, yet stubborn, Dudley, orders the torture of a bound Joe. A plastic bag is pulled tight over a helpless Joe's head. Dudley, with no other choice, grabs a hidden gun and opens fire....
