Some Things Can Be Taken For Granted

An American tourist is brutally attacked and murdered at a noted Chinese destination, the Drum Tower.

An American couple is visiting China to see the Olympics. The Husband hears of the attack and chooses not to tell his wife in order not to "worry her".

The Wife hears of the killing while visiting the Drum Tower during a BBC interview. She also learns that Husband already knew of the attacks, as well as separate terrorist bombings in the northwest.

The Husband isn't mentioned in the interview. Presumably, he's preparing to die as soon as the reporters are out of earshot.
