Dave ironically praises Arturo's intelligence in knowing who Dave is and who his friends are. Arturo tries to get rid of Dave and calls him a ''filthy criminal'', who didn't use his courage to face him, one of the detestable members of the cruel Dark Animals, Dave makes his second victim of the day and kills Arturo with his sword.

Dave plans to set up an ambush to kill Daisy and Simon, simulating a robbery. But before that, Dave gives a lollipop to gain the little boy's friendship and affection.
