- Fowler arrives at Mr. Chou's residence and asks for Mr. Heng. He doesn't seem to be in.
- After a short delay, a woman there ushers Fowler to a place a few blocks away where he finds him.
- Mr. Heng had heard the news of the attack. He's staying away from Mr. Chou's for a while. Even though he had nothing to do with the attack, it's the job of the police to find a culprit.
- Fowler informs Mr. Heng that Pyle is to blame.
- Mr. Heng agrees.
- Fowler asks if Pyle is with the O.S.S., a U.S. intelligence agency. Mr. Heng surmises that the initials are different.
- Knowing that the police aren't interested in General Thé and that they can't touch Pyle, an American, Fowler asks how Pyle can be stopped.
- Would he be prepared to help them, Mr. Heng asks?
- Mr. Heng suggests that Fowler invite Pyle to dinner at six thirty at the Vieux Moulin. They will apprehend Pyle on the way.
- What will they do? They'll act as gently as the situation allows. That sounds like it could cover a lot of ground. Well, you know what happens.
- Fowler agrees. He's taking sides at last.
