I cannot believe my luck.

I cannot believe my luck.

Someone had the courage to do what we've all wanted to do for a long time.

What?

Werner Berzins? Someone asked me to hand you this envelope.

Well then, give it here.

Here you go.

Well, well, well... What do we have here?

Oh, how touching. Who gave this to you?

A passenger from a third-class car.

She's worried about the closure of some newspaper due to an investigation into the emissions of some plant or other.

Oh, does she mean Chemprom? By a fortunate coincidence, the owner of this plant is riding with us.

There he is, with a top hat and a cane.

You know what? Take this letter to him. We'll have a laugh!

I showed this letter to Colt, like you said, and now he wants me to make something bad happen to you.

What? Oh my, what am I to do? I'm in trouble!

Well, don't keep me in suspense, bring it on!

But I wasn't going to.

Then you can make something bad happen to HIM, if you want.

What for?

Think of it as an old bet between us two. You can play on either side.

Why me?

I like you!

Well if you do it, I'll tell you the real reason why the newspaper got closed down.

Excellent. I hope I'll have time to drink at least a few cuppas before he comes back.

What was it you wanted? Something to do with a newspaper?

Ah, I remember now! The lady who wrote the letter wanted to stop her newspaper from being closed down.

Tell her that the whole supposedly oppositional rag was created with one purpose only.

As a mechanism to allow the disgruntled to let off steam.

But due to recent advances in chemistry and psychotronics, it is no longer needed

That's why it was closed down. Сhemprom and the investigation into its emissions had nothing to do with it.

Did I want something? I suppose...

I guess it offends me that all this rabble is riding on the same train as us and thinks that we have something in common.

I doubt I can do anything about it.

Of course you can't. You're one of them.

But you can make sure they all know their place.

How, exactly?

I know they're all breaking the law.

Hiding their dirty little secrets.

And I want you to uncover those secrets and blackmail them!

Let them know their place.

And I want at least someone arrested!

That's what I want!

Will you do that for me? I'll make it worth your while.
