After exposing Eason as a killer, rickshaw puller Dylan Hanks is summoned by Mr. Lee. Mr. Lee praises Dylan, installs him as head of the Great Fortune Casino, introduces him to godson Walter, and promises to buy Dylan’s home and throw a celebration. Dylan admits he set Eason up after a friend saw the body. Celebration turns to hostility as rival gang members mock his low birth and openly threaten him—one even taunts, "your woman tastes good"—then a sudden cry signals violence, leaving his new authority and his loved one in immediate jeopardy.
