Elsewhere, Jackie brings the woman in yellow dress to his apartment. As they begin to undress, Jackie hears something in the bathroom and goes to check out. He finds Butcher Joyce cleaning up the corpses.
Meanwhile, Sonatine and Brotherhood of The Darkness surround Jackie's apartment. Back at the apartment, Jackie questions Butcher as to what he's doing here to which he answers that Vinnie called him in. Jackie then notices some inaccuracies with Vinnie's story of how Frankie Franchetti was wounded. He then asks him keep quite and goes back to the girl. Then suddenly, Sonatine and Brotherhood of Darkness break into the room. Jackie frustrated, unleashes the Darkness on them, but Sonatine reveals that if he impregnates a woman, he will die.
