Continuity mistake: When Axel shoots Zack at the mansion, he falls to the floor, dead. It cuts to Axel, and then back to Zack, whose position on the floor has changed a little bit. The white piece of wood that he fell on is gone too. Also, I can't be too sure about this, but it does look to be a different actor.

Answer: Axel gets knocked out by one of the thugs as soon as he opens the door. His boss later make mention of the fact that he's lucky he didn't get killed too. They probably spared him because he didn't see who hit him and therefore could not tell anyone what they looked like.
