As Duffy is walking through the prison, he kicks an Old Man. Duffy walks into Arthur Blake's cell and takes a seat next to Arthur at a table. He reads off the charges against Arthur, grave robbing and murder, and tells him that it is his duty to write down Arthur's final words. Arthur tells Duffy that he is innocent of murder and he was framed by someone leaving a trail of limbs to his and Willy Grimes' homes. Arthur at first tells Duffy that he can't remember how everything started, but then Duffy offers him some whiskey. Arthur starts his story and tell Duffy about the first time he met Willy. Arthur continues telling his story to Duffy and tells him of when he and Willy came across something that wasn't quite dead. Arthur tells Duffy about the House of Murphy and an encounter he and Willy had with them. Arthur finishes his story and Duffy reveals himself to be Samuel Murphy and attacks Arthur. As he is about to kill Arthur, Willy hits Samuel in the head with a piece of wood.
