At the hospital, Kyle shows Marcie security footage of David’s shooting. The footage confirms her suspicion that David’s attacker did not intend to kill him but wanted something from him.

Further footage shows that after David was shot, he made a short call on a burner phone. Kyle states that David called Camille, his pregnant girlfriend. Marcie refuses to answer Kyle’s questions and leaves the hospital. A Jeep pulls up beside her, and the driver introduces herself as Camille.

Kyle replays the anonymous phone call Camille made to emergency services reporting David’s shooting. Agent Blair arrives and introduces himself. Kyle tells the FBI agent everything he suspects about David. Blair agrees with Kyle and offers to test David’s clothing for DNA that will prove his identity.

Camille says that David delayed telling Marcie the truth as he did not want to subject his family to life on the run. She explains that David “sent [her] packing” (236) three years earlier, stating he wanted to be with his family. However, they kept in contact. When Camille says she cannot understand why David’s attacker did not kill him, Marcie realizes Camille does not “know about the money” (238).

Tommy disposes of his gun in the river near Anna’s Bridge. As his initial plan failed, he intends to focus on getting Marcie alone.

Agent Blair tells Kyle to keep the FBI’s involvement in the case to himself.

Kyle tells Agent Blair that they must protect Marcie and her children and that he will not allow the FBI to use the family as bait to catch Cagnina. Kyle cannot believe that Marcie would have knowingly married an assassin.

Camille offers to help protect Marcie and the children.

At the hospital, a doctor tells Marcie that David is in an induced coma. The next few days will be critical.

While David is in a coma, Kyle and Ginny Risely take his fingerprints, a sample of his blood, and a sample of the blood on his head from his assailant.

Tommy locates Marcie’s car in the hospital parking lot and places a GPS tracker under the vehicle.

Camille meets Marcie and the children in the hospital cafeteria and agrees to look after the children whenever Marcie cannot be there. Marcie reveals that she must go somewhere that afternoon.

Marcie drives to a travel store and buys 11 duffel bags. She then goes to the bank and opens three large safe deposit boxes.

Tommy follows Marcie, watching her purchase the bags. When she enters the bank, he climbs into the back seat of her car, wearing a ski mask.

Agent Blair questions Camille in the hospital cafeteria. He points out that if Camille is Silas’s girlfriend, she is also culpable for the Halloween Massacre. When Camille does not respond, Blair points out that she is breaking the law by carrying a firearm in a hospital. He instructs her to tell him everything.

When Marcie returns to her car, Tommy presses the barrel of his gun to her head. Seeing his piercing blue eyes through his ski mask, Marcie realizes he is Silas.

Marcie has deduced that David is Wesley Price, Cagnina’s accountant. He risked his life by volunteering to testify against the mob boss and stayed in the same witness detention center as Silas. Silas confirms that David/Wesley fell in love with Marcie when he saw her visiting him at the center. He was moved from the detention center before the massacre.

Agent Blair acknowledges that Camille’s job as a witness protection agent involves concealing David’s former identity as Wesley Price, even from the FBI. However, he argues that their goals are the same. Camille is unconvinced that they can protect Marcie and her children while also catching Cagnina. Blair realizes that Camille does not know about the money.

Marcie tells Silas the stolen money is in safe deposit boxes at Prinell Bank. She offers to give him all of it if he leaves her children alone. Silas instructs Marcie to drive to the bank the next morning, fill the duffel bags with money, and leave them in her unlocked car. He warns her not to involve the police.

The following day, Kyle is waiting for Marcie at the hospital. He admits that his theory was wrong. DNA tests have proved that David is Wesley Price, while the spot of blood from his assailant came from Silas. Marcie begs Kyle not to pursue Silas.

Camille warns Marcie that Agent Blair has guessed the truth and is coming to the house that evening. Marcie realizes she has no choice but to go against Silas’s instructions and comply with the FBI.

Agent Blair tells Marcie that if she helps him catch Michael Cagnina, she will not be prosecuted for money laundering and tax evasion. However, David will not be granted immunity as he was responsible for the Halloween Massacre. Blair claims that Cagnina paid David $20 million for disclosing the secret location of the witness detention center.

Marcie struggles to believe that David was involved in the Halloween Massacre. Agent Blair has ordered her to follow Silas’s instructions, promising that the FBI will stand by and keep her safe.

At the hospital, Marcie is devastated to discover that David has suffered brain death. She sits with her husband, telling him she loves him and that she and the children will survive.

Kyle offers his sincere condolences to Marcie. Marcie apologizes to Kyle, acknowledging it must have hurt him when she settled down with another man in Hemingway Grove. She tells Kyle she has agreed to work with Agent Blair and asks if he will take care of the children should anything happen to her.

Leaving the hospital, Marcie drives past the pub’s Ernest Hemingway statue and recalls how she argued with David over the cost of erecting it. At Prinell Bank, she opens the safe deposit boxes in a private viewing room. The first four are empty. The fifth contains a large envelope.

The envelope contains a cell phone, a remote control, a thumb drive, and papers. Marcie reads a letter from David confirming his love for his wife and children. David states that he did not know a mobster had hired him as an accountant, and he exposed Cagnina when he discovered the truth. A separate sheet of paper bears six shocking words that alter Marcie’s understanding of the situation.

Marcie leaves the viewing room and goes to the bathroom down the hall. Sitting in a stall, she calls 911 on the cell phone David provided.
