The Yiddish Policemen's Union

Landsman shares what he knows with Bina, who tries to reach out to the United States Attorney’s office. Landsman cautions her that the United States government may be involved in the conspiracy, though he admits that he cannot account for which government offices are trustworthy. The deeper he goes into explaining the conspiracy, the harder it is for Bina to feel like she should involve herself in his investigation. She nevertheless shares what Landsman has told her to the United States Attorney. Bina resolves to take Litvak into custody so that she and the attorney can glean more information from him.

Landsman remembers that Buchbinder was telling him about his plan to reopen his museum in Jerusalem. Suspecting that Buchbinder was talking about the conspiracy, Landsman and Bina trace his address to the Moriah Institute at Blackpool Hotel, which is located across the Zamenhof.

Just then, an American man arrives at Bina’s office. Bina introduces him as Mr. Spade, the U.S. Marshal overseeing Sitka Central’s turnover to the United States government. Spade accuses Landsman of conducting an unauthorized investigation while on suspension. Bina says that because she has already informed the United States Attorney’s office of the conspiracy, they now have jurisdiction over the investigation.
