At 1:24:55, Jake alleges that the manual in question calls for operative or operatives to throw target out of 13th story window when carrying out assassination. More precisely, the manual says, "The most efficient accident, in simple assassination, is a fall of 75 feet or more onto a hard surface." The 13th story of a building, which converts to a height of approximately 141 feet, satisfies this requirement.
