Marius works with Gina and Gavin, who find out the gangsters’ names are Frank and Joe. Marius has some kind of plan that involves sneaking into their hotel room, but Gina and Gavin get caught and Frank surprises Marius when he gets there. Meanwhile, Joe is at Julia’s house ready to shoot her. Marius is able to call to warn her, but at mortal risk to himself.
