When the old man refuses to change his will, Mailer decides to kill them, and Kirby plays along. Farrell refuses to assist, and Mailer plans to kill him too. After a botched attempt, with Kirby's help, Farrell exposes the scam to the old man, dooming Mailer's plan, and allowing Kirby and Farrell to unite, as 'Two of a Kind'.
