ida's visit makes pinkie decide he needs to kill rose too, and he confides to his last remaining gang member, dallow, his plan to get rose to enter a suicide pact with him and kill herself first. pinkie also tries to destroy the voice recording he made to avoid its becoming evidence after rose's death, but only succeeds in scratching it. dallow objects, saying rose's death is unnecessary because ida is about to leave brighton, having been unable to find any convincing evidence against pinkie. colleoni has also paid off pinkie and dallow to leave town, and they go for a final drink with rose before departing.
