Not living.

Was it always the Black man's plan to kill the grey man after the exchange?
Was the blackman aware there would be an exchange? If so, did he know what the item would be?
You said the greyman did not know the blackman, but the meeting was set up. Was the blackman not who the greyman was expecting?I'll try to explain this question better. For example, the greyman was told he would be meeting a blackman (whom he had never met nor knew what he looked like) on a train, the killer was aware of this somehow and pretended to be the man greyman was supposed to be meeting.
If the greyman had still boarded the train and sat next to the blackman but did not have the item with him, would he still have been killed on the train?

1. Has an iffy assumption but I'll say mostly yes.
2. Ditto. Yes he knew what the item would be.
3. The setup was a yes and no answer, you are interpreting that answer wrong.

Was the item exchanged a letter?


No to all. The meeting was not set-up in a traditional sense, that is misleading, and why I said yes and no. Think about how a hitman does his job.

Does the gray man ride the train regularly? - Maybe he is a regular commuter or maybe he is the train conductor/driver.

Was the black man's mission/objective fully complete upon killing? Or more towards what I'm getting at, did the black man need to kill AND obtain/keep the object (instead of throwing the object away or leaving it on the train) for the mission/objective to be fully successful?



Yes they talked. Yes the black man initiated it. Yes it was polite.

Yes he does.

Yes it was complete. No he did not need to have the object.

I'll assume they aren't colleagues/family/friends...

Did they black man contact the gray one to meet on the train? Was he (gray) somewhat forced to go and bring the item?

Correct, they are none of those.

No, no.

Was this a preset/scheduled meeting and exchange? - similar to Seth_'s question
Yes and no. The yes aspect is atypical though.

Is this meeting part of either man's job? Yes, the man in black, not the man in gray.
Has the gray man ever done this in the past (exchanging this particular item in a train ... without getting killed obviously)? Possibly, I don't know.
Is killing part of the black man's job? Yes
Gray man's job? No

Does the man in black normally carry a gun+silencer?
Probably not all the time, but surely more than the amount a typical person would.

Did the gray man carry the item on himself (maybe in a pocket)? - trying to get at what the item is and why the item is important
Yes.

I assume no one realized what happened before he got off/he was sneaky. It was not legal. Don't know if he got caught.

Did the gray man carry a weapon?
No

Was the gray man surprised by being shot?
Yes he would have been.


Was the thing exchanged something of monetary value to the gray man? Black man? Was the thing exchanged something of personal value to the gray man? Black man?

No, no particular value.


Was the man in gray killed because the exchange occurred?

Yes.

Was the man in gray killed because the man in black was unsatisfied with the exchange?
No.

One thing I'm wondering is why this exchange is on a train ... and a commuter train at that. Also, is the location important? And why did the man in black wait a stop to shoot the man in gray instead of shooting him immediately? Why was a silencer used (I guess to avoid witnesses until after the killing was done)?

Location is not very important. It's relevance is very outside and subtle. Yeah the silencer is to be able to do it in a public place without people realizing it. These details will not be very helpful in figuring it out.
Show nested quote +

Also, I'm making a total guess and saying that whatever was exchanged was of no real value ... something along the lines of a holdup note or terrorist note or a bomb disguised as something else ... something to throw us off.

Yeah on the no real value, no on the rest.

Nice questions.

Was the reason why the gray man was killed because of the gray man's job? - getting at something like the gray man was the leader of a big labor union and a company wanted him dead because he would cause labor problems (go on strike or something)

Was the reason why the gray man was killed because of the gray man's personal relationships? - getting at maybe the gray man had an affair with the black man's boss' wife

Was the gray man killed for monetary reasons?

Is the item in question visible if you are walking around on the train looking at people?

There has to be some situation where something bad happened to the boss (whoever hired black man), where the only real identifier was the special smokes. So the boss hires the black man to kill this suspected guy. The black man goes and sits next to a guy he thinks is the target, asks for smokes, confirms that these are the particular smokes of the target, and kills him.

Heh this was a little confusing then:
