Anton Hamm arrives at Rocco Calder’s office, but only June is present. He gives her a letter for Calder, an admission of his guilt because he wants Calder to know what is going on. As June takes the letter to Calder’s office, she discovers a listening device attached to the bottom of his desk.

Rocco Calder is at the Clarkson Academy for the Gifted. He pulls John out of class to speak with him. He reveals that his office is bugged, so the prime minister knows Keita will be in his office at noon on June 21. He wants Keita to keep the meeting, and Calder will honor his agreement to grant Keita permission to remain in the country. He wants John there to videotape what happens. John agrees.

Keita feels strong before the 10-miler now that his diabetes is under control. Billy Deeds, the racist heckler who beat him in the half-marathon, is present, but Keita believes he can beat Deeds this time. Keita runs with the USB stick strapped to his back, wrapped in plastic. He does well in the race and is the front-runner. Around mile five, a group of police officers on motorcycles pull up as though ready to arrest Keita.
