Jane gradually pieces together some suspicions, and hires a local low-life to investigate. The bearded men capture him. Jane tries to rescue him, but they capture her too. With Lizette's help, she escapes. They pursue her, and the dangerous situation escalates, but with odd inconsistencies that keep Jane wondering, as well as terrified for herself and Lizette.
