She confronts him with news that he’s after the daughter of the district attorney, accusing him of using her to advance his career. Is he getting out of his element? Does he need to stay tied to Gloria, who put him through law school?
On a fast train, on their honeymoon, Fred and Brenda try to forget their lives for the next two weeks. Gloria broods, and contemplates revenge. Her main hood, Joe tries to cheer up. Is his talk of loyalty intended to be more than that? Love maybe? Gloria seems oblivious to him, but sets revenge plans into motion. Gloria and Joe intercept Brenda on the road, and end the marriage as only a pair of thugs can. Joe is sickened by Gloria’s ruthlessness.
Time passes, and Gloria wonders that no news reports of the missing Brenda have been reported. Surely the body has been found off the busy highway. The tension drives Joe to drink heavily. A headline finally appears. Wait, if Fred and his wife attend the races, who was it they killed? After days pass, and no further report, even Glory is cracking up. Taking her revenge madness in a new direction, Gloria threatens to silence Joe.
