Late in the afternoon Emily Hahn is finally allowed to leave the Grispsholm. The only person left to meet her is a friend of her brother-in-law, who drives her to her sister Helen's downtown apartment where she's reunited with Carola, who'd been taken home by Helen when she began to cry uncontrollably during Hahn's interrogation.

 

The Canadian train arrives in Montreal. Two-Gun Cohen allows a Paramount newsreel reporter to interview him briefly but refuses to say anything about conditions in Stanley 'because any remark may influence the situation of people who are still prisoners'.
