WRL meets up with LSD and hands over the key and seal. LSD slips his watchers and takes the gold out of the bank. When the watchers realise he is missing Captain Lin sets in place a pursuit. While LSD is waiting for a fishing boat to take him away, XN shoots him and takes the gold, which he then hands over to a contact on the tram.

Mr Song appoints STN to lead in the effort to take back tariff autonomy.
