The Shop agents arrive and Orville Jamieson tells Charlie she will have to come with him. Charlie tells them to leave and Andrew threatens that the same thing that happened to the Young Serviceman will happen to them. Irv comes out with his rifle and tells them to leave and Charlie starts to heat the area up. Knowles and Steinowitz grab Andrew and Irv is shot by an agent.
