3. Can you tell from this sequence the role of this character? i.e are they a protagonist/Antagonist?
You don’t really know who the protagonists are, because they are all shady mysterious characters and you need more information to find out which sides they are on. But the information we do get is we think their all antagonists.

4. How do you know this?
I know this because the pair, Gaear and Carl, seem dark and mysterious, like hitman, just doing a job to make money.

Jerry is an antagonist because he wants his wife taking out, for a lot of money as well as for personal reasons.
