The next morning, the two men discuss the latest developments in the world of crime. They discuss the murder of a young boy in a small town in the Carolinas, and the subsequent disappearance of several small families. The men discuss whether they are comfortable taking the young man as their sidekick. The young man, who they call "ian," is not dumb, they say, and they are always watching him closely. The two men wonder if they have reconsidered their offer of money to the murderer, but they are unable to understand each other. The man with the weird mustache, they believe, is responsible for the murder.
