1964, New York. Jack Andolini and Frank sit in their car, discussing the job given to them by Balazar, which involves killing children. Neither of them like the job, but it comes from Balazar's boss, who is yet to be known. Meanwhile, two year-old Eddie Dean, his ten year-old brother Henry and their sister Gloria are playing outside. Eddie is playing with his Western action figures of Johnny Bronco and Sam Sidewinder with Henry, while Gloria and her friend play hopscotch. While playing Henry "cheats" by using an imaginary cannon on Eddie's toy, which causes Eddie to cry.
