The next morning, Si says that he's glad that the pen is back in working order. He's also glad that he didn't have to go to the press conference to explain what's going on. Si can't believe that someone would come clean and say that they've lost the pen, but he thinks it's because someone else came clean and claimed that they lost it. Si says he'll apologize to Yonker, and then he can go back to his job. Si tells Yonker that he has lost his job, and that he promised him that Yonker's family would never return to the city. Si apologizes, but promises that he won't accuse Yonker again.
