After being attacked by Alex Schneider and his unknown accomplice, Marius checks the main character's condition before asking her to give up being Jason Sanders' defense attorney so that he can prove Jason's innocence through means she may not approve of.

In Marius' car, the two mull over the case and discuss the possibility that Cher Young may have a backup copy of the stolen evidence.
