Vanessa meets with Quinn’s attorney. She announces that she is Quinn’s sister and that she can prove Quinn’s innocence. She states that she and the rest of the family had put him in a drug-rehabilitation facility, where he had been for 21 days before the judge and his mistress were found dead. She has paperwork from the facility that he was there, including DNA evidence. His confession and subsequent moody behavior is explained by his diagnosis of bipolar disorder.

Nathan’s employees report that he has gone missing. The police find Nathan’s car, but no one connects him to the Nathan Coley who was arrested in Jamaica in Malcolm’s company. Meanwhile, Malcolm finds a gold dealer and converts several of the gold bars into cash. He buys several laptops, books, and toolboxes; places some of the bars inside the items; and packages them for shipping. Vanessa does the same. Malcolm sends an email to Stanley Mumphrey and Victor Westlake, telling them that he has realized that his accusation of Quinn was in error and that Quinn’s confession is bogus. Quinn’s lawyer now has proof of an airtight alibi. Malcolm knows the identity of the real killer, and if the FBI wants to catch that killer, they will have to cooperate with Malcolm, who has no plans to return to the US.
