Marion is summoned by a mob leader who frames the mission as a loyalty test and pushes him to act where Henry won’t. Marion rejects sentimental ties and bargains for $1.2 million, taking a $600,000 deposit in exchange for a risky job: retrieve a prize token from Bluebrook Club’s third basement, where a woman will meet him with details. He bluntly tells the leader his life isn’t the leader’s concern. Elsewhere, Mr. Mill’s circle learns Marion’s mother is undergoing chemo and the boss plans a “little surprise” for her. Marion leaves for the job while his mother’s fate remains in jeopardy.
