Synopsis: Dallas asks the Gandors to help him exact his revenge on Firo but is denied, Eve is kidnapped by Gustavo, and Ennis finds Dallas.

Nicholas and Elean, the guy who attended to Eve, are in the director’s office. Word of how Nicholas appeased Gustavo by telling him of Dallas’ sister has reached the director. He doesn’t seem pleased. Nicholas explains that he was threatened and Gustavo Bagetta’s power would be too much for him. Afraid that he’d be killed, Nicholas says he accidentally told Gustavo of Eve (It didn’t look accidental to me though). Elean tells Nicholas that it’s no reason to say things that would put Eve in danger. Nicholas says he understands that it’s no excuse. He says he has taken the proper measures. The director tells him that even if he thinks his life may be in danger, he doesn’t agree with the idea of using the little girl to get out of the situation. He says, like Elean, he can’t sympathize with Nicholas. He then tells Nicholas to take responsibility for his actions.

Nicholas gets out of the director’s office. A Chinese employee waits for him outside. Nicholas asks him if there’s any news. The Chinese guy says there’s none. There’s no movement yet. Nicholas instructs the Chinese guy to inform him if anything happens. If Gustavo and the Gandors get into a dispute over Dallas, there should be some information leak. The Chinese guy nods. Elean is eavesdropping nearby.

In the Flying Pussyfoot, Spike, one of the guys who was assigned to look for the woman in work clothes, asks his companion for help through a hand-held radio. He tells them he is in the luggage room and that the others disappeared. He asks for reinforcements. Gunfire is suddenly heard.

The woman who climbed out the window is hiding underneath the train. She sees a black figure go inside. The black figure pulls a man and the man mysteriously disappears. After that, the black figure whispers something to the woman then returns inside. Frightened, the woman went the opposite direction.

In 1930, the men who harassed Barnes and whom Firo fought, are asking for someone’s help for revenge. The man they asked asks them why he should help. The men’s leader replies that Firo is an outsider and he is doing whatever he wants in their place. The guy they talked to say that people like them, who aren’t members, shouldn’t worry about their problems. The men’s leader tells the person he asked for help, Luck, that if he will help them, they will join his organization. Luck asks the men’s leader, Dallas, if he ever thought of why they never asked him to join them. He tells Dallas they he might have thought they feared him because they didn’t interfere with his outrageous behavior but the real reason is that they didn’t even see the slightest use for him. Luck says that thanks to Dallas’ group of robbers, the police are too busy dealing with them. He says that they are nothing more than decoys.

Dallas says Luck doesn’t know anything about them. Luck tells him that he does know that Dallas was done in by a man much younger than him. Berga arrives and throws Dallas and his group out. Luck tells him that he doesn’t know them.

Dallas left the wooden box with the bottles of medicine in the Gandor’s place. Berga and Luck don’t know whether it is liquor. They set it aside.

In the train, Czeslaw leads the senator’s daughter out of the dining car. Czeslaw finds some sort of closet and tells Mary, the girl, to hide there. He says he well take a look at how things are at present and that he will come back after. He closes the door. Czeslaw thinks it’s one nuisance taken care of. He can start finding the Immortals.

Jacuzzi, Nice and Donny go to a room where they think Nick is kept. They go outside and discover that Nick is indeed there. Earlier, Lua and one of Ladd’s men were also kept inside. Ladd found them but only took Lua with him. Nick asked Ladd to untie him but Ladd asked if there’s anything in it for him. He said if Nick had been a woman, he could ask him for a kiss or so. He then told Nick to die. It would be his destiny to die on that place.

Nice relates what happened to Jacuzzi and the rest. Suddenly, they notice blood flowing on the floor.

Mary is inside the closet scared. She knocks something (a broom perhaps) off. One of Ladd’s men who is in the hallway hears the sound. Mary tries not to make a sound but the man in the hallway comes, opens the door and finds her. He tells her not to scream. He thinks he shouldn’t do it to Ladd but it might be alright to take the girl for himself. He says, unlike Ladd, he likes to hurt people weaker than him. The guy suddenly falls. His back bleeds. Chane has just stabbed him.

Jacuzzi and his group find themselves in the hallway with Ladd and his men. Ladd asks Jacuzzi if the man kept in the room earlier is with him. Jacuzzi asks him how he knew his name. Ladd introduces himself and tells Jacuzzi that he should already know why he knows him. Ladd approaches him and asks what he is doing in the train. He says he’s going to take control of the train and that he will kill half of the passengers but depending on the circumstances, he might kill everyone. Jacuzzi clenches his fist, trembling. Ladd tells Jacuzzi and the others that if they don’t want to be killed, they should jump off the train.

Jacuzzi asks Ladd if he or his men killed the conductors. Ladd doesn’t seem to know about this. He tells his men that they will go to the conductor’s room. They leave Jacuzzi and his group but Ladd says that he will make up for it later. He then says that whoever killed the conductor and whoever did what happened in the room with blood, wasn’t them.

Nick asks Jacuzzi if he’s just going to let Ladd go that easily. Jacuzzi says there’s someone else they have to beat first. Jacuzzi goes inside the room with blood.

Isaac and Miria are mad after almost being hit by Ennis’ car.

Dallas and his men are at an alley. His men ask him what they will do, now that the Gandor’s don’t want to deal with them. Dallas tells them to shut up. He says one day he will kill Firo and the Gandors. His men tell him that even so, Dallas’ family is still rich, they might give him some money to play around. Dallas says that his family said they donated all of their previous month’s assets to robbers. One of his men says Dallas must still have enough to eat. He also comments that he heard Dallas has a cute sister. Dalls becomes angry. He tells the guy to stay away from his sister. If he does something to her, he won’t let him get away with it.

Isaac and Miria are playing with their masks. They reminisce their stealing adventures. In the beginning, they were thieves of time and stole clocks. Then they tried to steal an entire museum but they only managed to steal the door which was pretty heavy. After reflecting on their actions, they decided to do good deeds and stole the inheritances of very rich people so that there would be no fighting over the inheritance. Isaac then suggest to Miria that for their final job, they will do another good deed. Isaac says that they are going to take the mafia’s black money, for example. Miria agrees.

Dallas passes by, bumping Miria. Isaac and Miria tell him to watch where he’s going. Dallas’ men comes.

one night in 1931, Gustavo and his men went to Eve’s mansion. Gustavo orders his servant to make a phone call. Unknown to them, the Chinese guy from Daily Day’s is observing. Gustavo’s henchman makes a call and says he’s from the newspaper company and that they found information regarding Dallas.

Eve’s servant who received the call tells Eve about it. She says that the man who called hung up after. She suggest that they go to the newspaper company’s office.

Gustavo and his men are waiting outside. When Eve went out of the house, they nabbed her.

Jacuzzi and the others are horrified at what they saw in the room. It must have been something really gruesome. One puzzling thing about it is that there’s blood in the ceiling as well. Nick goes to the window to get some fresh air and sees someone outside, in the coupling between the train cars in front. He informs the others of this. They all take a look. Jacuzzi wonders if it’s the Rail Tracer.

Ennis passes by the alley where Isaac, Miria, Dallas, and his men, are. She sees Miria being held at gunpoint. Ennis goes inside the alley. Dallas is beating Isaac up. Ennis seem to recognize them as the one who took the bottles from Barnes (based on his memory which Quates showed her). She approaches the guy who is holding Miria and delivers a swift kick. Without effort, Ennis punches a guy and hits another. They fall. Only Dallas is left. Dallas tells her that he’ll let Isaac and Miria go. He asks Ennis to let him go off the hook. Ennis tells him she has business with him. Ennis punches him in the stomach. Dallas falls.

Isaac and Miria come to Ennis. Isaac says he’s amazed he handled all of them by herself. Isaac and Miria thanks her foe saving a complete stranger like themselves. Ennis remembers them as the couple she almost hit before with her car. She smiles. Isaac and Miria tell her to ask them anything in return. She asks them if they can help her carry the four men to her car.

The Chinese guy whom Nicholas sent to watch outside Eve’s house reports that Eve has been kidnapped by Gustavo. The Daily Days director has heard of it as well. Elean is mad at Nicholas. He asks him what he is planning. Nicholas says he doesn’t think Gustavo will hurt Eve yet. The director tells them to calm down. He says he is worried that the rivalry between the Gandors and the Runoratas is getting out of control because of them. He asks if Nicholas has taken that into consideration. Nicholas replies that he has a fool-proof measure to prevent what the director feared from happening. Nicholas leaves the director’s office.

Elean tells the director that Nicholas looks like he’s scheming something. The director says he is aware of that. Nicholas must be trying to make a way for the Gandors and the Runoratas to clash head on. He must be hoping interesting things would happen. Elean asks the director if he is just going to let Nicholas do his thing. The director replies that even though, it’s something top secret, there are still a lot unknown about Dallas. Whether he became an Immortal or not, they might learn something from the events. It’d be perfect for them.

The director says that there will be some sparks between the two families. He says the legendary assassin, Vino, or Claire Stanfield is headed for New York. She seems to be invited by Luck Gandor and is currently on board the Flying Pussyfoot.

Ennis has taken Dallas and his men to Quates. Quates says he doesn’t think he’ll gain much knowledge from “eating” him. He tells Clare to prepare something. Clare takes a syringe and injects some liquid into Dallas.

Anyway, I was awestruck upon watching this episode. Things are getting better than what I had previously thought. For one, the revelation that the guy from the previous episodes, is just amazing. His sister Eve and the Runorata family has been looking all over for him in vain, unaware that he is just there.

Aside from that, most of the characters have started to interact with the others. Before it seemed as if we are looking at different stories but the point where these individual stories intersect has become clearer.

I wonder if the Rail Tracer is something supernatural. If it isn’t, he/she must have some ability like Quates to “eat” people. Quates “eats” people to gain their knowledge, and other stuff. This plays on the belief among cannibals that eating someone, especially that person’s brain, would enable one to gain that person’s abilities, among other things.

I also wonder who Vino or Claire Stanfield is. Could she be the woman in work clothes?
