A young man cautiously meets a man claiming to be from the County Electromechanical Plant, who offers $500 for his grandfather's coupon. He hesitates, and they arrange a new meeting behind a state-run restaurant the next day. Meanwhile, another man blames Carl for his recent troubles and vows revenge. He spots Carl with a bag and decides to follow him. At the agreed meeting, the young man asks if the $500 offer still stands, and the man named Todd Arthur confirms it, producing $1,000 upon seeing the TV coupon the young man has brought.
