Slam Bradley is trying to figure out what Selina is up to. He stakes out Swifty's Pawn Shop, and spots and identifies Chantel. Selina and Swifty get away. Slam decides to track down Chantel to see if she's connected. He finds her as Falcone is about to kill her, having tortured the heist plans from her. Slam kills Falcone's men, then beats Falcone till he learns what Falcone knows of the heist, and that Falcone has tipped off the train and the Canadian heroin dealer, LaPerier. He talks a sea plane pilot into flying him to the border. Meanwhile, LaPerier intercepts Swifty at the border.
