When the transport is ambushed to free Villard, Hatchett is the only one left alive and can also flee. However, he is wanted from now on as a suspected police murderer and turns to James Russell for help. He senses a big story and gives Franklin shelter, although he is about to get married.
Since Franklin has found out about a big deal with Raymond, both are targeted by Raymond, who wants to eliminate the two confidants.
