- Peter takes the man aside, then pretends to be a gangster who's already planning to take advantage of the reward.
- Peter scares Shapely by talking about the machine guns he's carrying and "the Killer," the kingpin or "boss of the outfit," with whom he'll put Shapely in touch.
- Shapeley runs away, scared out of his mind, but Peter realizes that he and Ellie won't be safe for long: Shapeley can still report Ellie's whereabouts from a distance.
- Peter tells Ellie they have to run away, and that's what they do.
