Chang tricks Hackworth in admitting that he was the victim of a crime which he did not care to report to the proper authorities. The lieutenant then shows the video of the crime and asks him about the nature of book that also disappeared. Hackworth replies that it is not worth mentioning and then wonders if he could bribe a higher-ranking officer into forgetting about the book while he faces the charges. Chang leaves the option hanging and departs, now convinced that the book has a great value.
