Bea asks Fingers for her customer's food orders and then walks over and asks Karsh if he would like more coffee. Karsh ignores her and watches the television as David Harris is interviewed and he says the prison riots which closed the state penitentiary were due to the brutal treatment of the prisoners and blames Karsh. Karsh arrives at the penitentiary and demands Russell let him in. Sharon Fox calls David a pervert for writing the film and Karsh walks onto the set and tells Sharon he liked her other film and she calls this film crap. Karsh walks up to David and tells him he knows he has been asking questions about the prison riot. Karsh then warns David to stop asking questions. While Karsh is in the restroom, Ivan Moser burns him to death with a blow torch.
