Q2

Why does Killer Bean refuse to kill Cappuccino when ordered by Detective Cromwell?

Q3

What is the Shadow Agency?

Q4

Why does Cappuccino shoot Vagan?

During the confrontation at Cappuccino's base, Killer Bean reveals that his actual target is Vagan, not Cappuccino himself.

Q5

What is Vagan's connection to the Shadow Agency?

Why does Killer Bean surrender to the police?

When Cromwell arrives with the full police force surrounding the warehouse, Killer Bean decides to surrender. His reason is strategic: he hopes that being in police custody will protect him from the Shadow Agency, which he knows will come for him after killing Vagan. Turning himself in gives him a tactical advantage against his former organization.
