Spoilers ahead

Two men clad in plastic biohazard suits are busy working as a cleaning crew at a gruesome crime scene. Among them is Elvis, who is struggling to cope with the sights and sounds of his surroundings, frequently vomiting into a bucket, showcasing his lack of experience in this grisly line of work. Conversely, his partner, Leo, remains surprisingly calm and collected as he diligently mops up a large pool of congealed blood on the floor with handfuls of paper towels. Just then, Leo’s cell phone rings, and as Elvis attempts to help by answering it, he unwittingly holds the phone up to Leo’s ear while Leo is still gloved and engaged in his task.
