The story
Graham Marshall, a long-time executive in a large advertising company, is unexpectedly passed over for promotion in favor of his obnoxious younger rival Bob Benham.
In a fit of rage, Graham pushes him hard enough that he falls on the subway tracks and gets run over by an oncoming train.
First he rents a car using George's corporate account and procures a bottle of heavy downers from Joe, an office courier who deals drugs.
