Tom Cruise, playing a hitman known as Vincent, has a drink in jazz club with its owner afterhours. The owner of the jazz club, Daniel Baker (played by Barry Shabaka Henley), tells Cruise about his life surrounding jazz, including playing for Miles Davis. Next, Tom Cruise, who had thus far been joyfully listening, coyly reveals to Baker that he is a hitman who has been contracted to kill him. Vincent then tells Baker that he will ask him a jazz question and if he gets it right he will walk away, if he doesn’t, he will kill him. Baker agrees, and Tom Cruise asks, “Where did Miles learn music?” Baker replies:
"I know everything there is to know about Miles. … His father was a dentist, East St. Louis, invested in agriculture, made plenty of money. He sent Miles to Juilliard School of Music, New York, 1945."
Vincent then shoots Baker in the head three times at point blank range, catches his head before it falls on the table, and whispers into his ear:
"He dropped out of Juilliard after less than a year, tracked down Charlie Parker, on 52nd street who mentored him for the next three years."
