Alden has a meeting with Mursky, Jr. Jackson, Judge Engstrom, and Albano. He tells them that they need to get rid of the Tenants immediately or the property deal will be forfeit. Alden tells them that the law is on the side of the Tenants and asks for ideas on getting rid of the Tenants. Engstrom complains that the laws today only protect the welfare people. Alden then tells them about Louis Roman. Mursky thinks they should pay off Louis, but Albano just wants Louis killed. After the meeting ends, Alden walks into his office and tells Shibata that his plan is working perfectly. Alden tries to bribe Louis, who refuses his offer. Alden then makes a phone call to Shibata and tells him that Louis rejected the offer. Later, Shibata is seen petting his cat in Alden's office.
