Now that the children have run away, the gang is left with only 12 hours before the deadline. They've got to get the city council to approve the deal, but they don't have time to waste. They also have to figure out how to get rid of the mob before they have to tear down the whole thing. The gang is sorry that they lied to the mob, but it's also sad that they didn't tell the truth about Don Pedro's involvement in the gold diggers. Now that he's dead, Don Pedro probably doesn't care about the money they're going to get from the mob.
