Just before his early retirement, he is sent on two of his most dangerous assignments yet, which include kidnapping, killing and purchasing a ridiculous amount of hard drugs.

Craig’s cocaine dealer is a mess of violent fun and shows his beleaguered nature when the going gets too rough. "Hotel Splendide" (2000) Long before he was the first blonde.
