At a gambling table staff tells the boss the cheque is fake and a young gambler is seized for questioning. He denies being sent, then admits Marion Luke sent him to warn that Mr. Mill wants the boss dead. The boss rejects the claim and doubts Marion would risk a messenger. Another voice accuses Joey Zack of being a planted spy and says Marion risked sending him. Panic breaks out, "Damn it! Wanna run?", then someone shouts, "Haley, do it!" The warning hangs as action is ordered and the boss's fate stays unresolved.
