Dr. Manette tells the ghost that he's too late. He's worried that if he recovers his powers, he'll be able to destroy all living beings . He wants to go to the meeting, but he can't go because of the traffic jam. He tells his driver to go at full speed, but the driver refuses to listen to him, saying it's fine to walk if you're in a rush. The ghost says that he has been feeling uneasy all morning, like an ominous threat.
