The father of the kidnapped boy complains to the chief of police that the men kidnapped the boy, put him in danger, and threatened to kill him if they didn't let him go. The chief orders the men to leave, and the father thanks the chief for the job he has done. The father asks the chief to say hello to his partner, who can be kind to him at times. The son asks if he's been awake by now. He's sorry, he says, because he got hurt when he told the chief not to be too careful. He says that if they're together, they'll be able to help each other if something happens. He asks if the chief is okay now, and he says that he was planning to talk to Edgar after he left. He tells the chief that he likes men, and that if something happened, he'd be losing a subordinate, but the chief doesn't worry about him.
