The Kid confesses to shooting Dopey. Bridge tells the boy he could not have killed Dopey because Dopey was screaming. The Kid tells Bridge he is The Oskaloosa Kid. Bridge, who knows the real Oskaloosa Kid, wishes James, his invisible valet, were there to make a cocktail. Near the house a car careens out of the dark, a shot rings out as a woman screams and is thrown from the car.
Bridge carries the girl into the house.
Inside, the Kid trips over a body. Using Bridge's flashlight, the Kid discovers a gaudily dressed corpse. Suddenly they hear a heavy body, dragging a chain, ascending the cellar stairs. Bridge herds them upstairs. At the top of the stairs the terrified Kid drops the flashlight to the floor below, bringing on a sudden and menacing silence.
