| “ | Pure cyanide. Careful. It's rare, pricey. Comes as a powder. You can liquefy it, spray it, bake it in a fucking cake... pour it on a guy's shirt and he's dead before he can say 'I'm sorry'. No more stakeouts, I can do it anywhere. I don't have any friends... so it makes it easy. 'I only feel alone around other people'... couldn't be truer. | „ |

Biography[]
When Richard Kuklinski is on a job for Roy DeMeo, he goes to meet a man named Marty Freeman, while he's in the middle of making a porno with a 17 year old girl named Alex, who hides in the closet when he arrives. Richard tells Roy over the phone that he hasn't seen Josh in a while and Roy tells him he believes him, but then tells Richard to kill him anyways, which he does after forcing him to pray to have God stop him from killing him to no avail. Before he leaves however, Richard finds Alex in the closet who's close to the same age as his daughters, so he lets her go with a warning. While she's running away, Richard meets another hitman named Robert Pronge who nearly kills Alex.
Later that day, Richard meets with Roy again who tells him he should have killed Alex, but Richard says he refuses to murder children. Roy tells him that because Josh robbed the Colombians, he's paranoid constantly about getting whacked and even killed a man in his neighborhood thinking he was a hitman, but was only a college student parked outside this house selling vacuums. Richard decommissions Richard until further notice, despite Richard saying he's good at what he does, despite the only loose end still being alive.
Sometime later, Richard meets his brother Joseph in prison, who's been in there for over ten years after he raped and killed a 14 year old girl. Joseph tells him about a job that could help him be released that pays several thousand dollars, but Richard reminds him that no one would forgive a murderous pedophile who's out of prison and refuses the job, leaving him to his doomed fate even after he's reminded how Richard used to take Joseph's beating from their abusive father for him when they were younger. Later on after accidentally crashing his car into another person's car and having his family insulted from the man, he chases him down until his wife begs him to stop. That night his wife accuses him about not caring about her or their daughters and infuriates him to the point where he smashes up their kitchen to release his pent up anger, then after he calms down he reminds her that everything he does is for them and they're the only thing he cares about.
Desperately needing work now, Richard meets with Robert in his ice cream truck for any jobs he has available, since he holds no loyalties to anyone other than himself. He finds out Robert killed Alex who he had force fed a pufferfish to poison her, who then tells him about pure cyanide he steals from coroners, which he plans to use with Richard to make their hits look like nothing more than heart attacks and keep their bodies in freezers to make their suspected times of death impossible to pinpoint. Richard and Robert work together for a long while, killing dozens of people with their inconspicuous poison of choice, while finally being able to provide for his family again.
Meanwhile, Josh meets with Roy who finally decides to shoot him, but can't bring it to himself to finish him off. While Leonard shoots him an excessive amount of times, Roy and Mickey assault Leonard and Mickey seals his fate since he hit a made guy in the Italian mafia. Leonard meets with Richard to put a hit on Mickey, who agrees and kills him at a nightclub with a cyanide sprayed made to look like only a sneeze, giving him a heart attack. As Richard leaves the club, his friend Terry tells him he knows he's a hitman and asks for some work, who tells him he'll speak to Terry later about it.
During Richard's oldest daughter Anabel's birthday party, Roy pulls up to his house and confronts him in his car about the unauthorized hits he's been doing when he wasn't supposed to be doing anything behind his back for Leonard. Roy tells Richard that Terry came to him about the job offer, thinking the two were friends, and Richard's other daughter Betsy comes out concerned about him. Richard begs Roy to not have her or his family hurt and Roy agrees, but tells Richard if he sees him again, he'll kill him and his entire family. Having no choice, Richard sets up Terry with a fake job and kills him for going to Roy.
On Christmas day three months later, Richard is forced to go to a pay phone to speak with Robert about Leonard being paranoid and to meet with him at a cemetery. Once he arrives, he asks for the $50K he was offered to kill Mickey but Leonard refuses to pay and just as he's about to leave, Leonard threatens Richard's family again which forces Richard to kill him. Once Roy hears about this, he pays Robert to do a drive by on Anabel, but she manages to survive. Immediately suspecting Robert, he goes to meet with him at a park and after a brief conversation, Richard shoots him with a silenced pistol and leaves his body in a position to make it look like he fell asleep.
