The story unravels when Trabucco goes to the hotel where Ruby is staying and plans to get his plans into motion. However, his plans are foiled as he runs into one of his troubled colleagues who is on the verge of suicide, due to his marital infidelity issues. Trabucco is now suddenly faced with trying to focus on his original plans to hit Gambola and which is now interrupted by Victor Clooney, a man who consistently attempts to kill himself.
