So I had never seen the film before, and did so in anticipation of Three Billboards, and I quite enjoyed it. However - and I'm not one to normally complain about plot holes - but for such a lauded screenplay, and one I've even seen listed on as a film without any plot holes here on Reddit, I felt like I must have missed something, because...
spoilers for the end
... how does Colin Farrel's hit man character know that his employer, Ralph Fiennes, had sworn he'd shoot himself on the spot if he shot a kid? He wasn't there in the scene when it was discussed, and yet he's clearly trying to tell him 'no, he's not...' implying '...not a child, a dwarf' when Ralph Fiennes is about to shoot himself.
Here's the closing scene, and here's the only time this principle comes up in the film, seemingly as though it was new information.
So.... did I miss something, or am I misreading that closing line's implication?
