- Spade secures the statue in a safe deposit box, then goes to find Brigid.
- The address she gave over the phone is an empty lot. Unless Brigid is disguised as a signpost, she's not there.
- Spade calls Effie and tells her the phone call was a fake.
- When he gets out of his car at his apartment, Brigid runs out of the shadows.
- She's exhausted, and Spade helps her inside.
- But Wilmer is inside his apartment behind the door.
- And Gutman and Cairo are waiting in the living room. The gang's all here.
- Gutman gives Spade an envelope of $10,000 in exchange for the Falcon.
- Spade doesn't appreciate being shortchanged, but Cairo believes that they have the upper hand, seeing that they have their guns pointed at Spade.
- Spade says he'll give them the Falcon, but they need a fall guy to take the blame for the murders, or else the police will blame him.
- He suggests they turn in Wilmer.
- But Gutman thinks of Wilmer as his son. Plus, he thinks Wilmer would tell the police the truth.
- Wilmer doesn't seem to be a fan of the idea. He wants to shoot Spade.
- Gutman tells Wilmer to heel. If he shoots Spade, they'll never get the Falcon.
- Spade's backup plan is to give Cairo to the police.
- Cairo, of course, doesn't like that, and tries to talk Gutman into selling out Wilmer.
- Wilmer advances on Spade, who punches the boy in the face. Lights out, Wilmer.
