With his help, he learns the place of residence and the true identity of "Jones" (namely Roy Francis Netter, owner of a security company who had been fired from Quint's company), and lets him believe that his murder attempt on him was a success.

Then Quint, the private detective and a work colleague use the opportunity to break into Netter. There they can find evidence that he is a serial killer. However, Netter learns of the break-in, and so it finally comes to an armed showdown, in which Quint wins.
