He calls The Mayo to find his friend, but the clerk informs him that no one with that name is staying at the hotel.
In “Caprice,” Armand decides to take Dwight out, shooting through the window and injuring the driving instructor. A car chase ensues, and Armand lights the car on fire, causing a traffic jam.

The next day, Armand attempts to remove the dog feces from his neighbor’s dog but is ambushed and taken into the house to be interrogated.

He understands Armand attempted to kill him out of misunderstanding and demands $300 every week as retribution for the assassination of Dwight.
