Train Platform Tragedy and a Narrow Escape in City Square
On Salve Square an argument ends in chaos as Rorty and a crowd confront fate on a city train platform. A heavy man named Rorty fights through a crowd, a girl among witnesses, and pigeons burst from a car as the train nears. Rorty recalls his past and faces a possible murder confession while warning McHugh to abandon an impending plan. The scene shifts to Houston Street where the train stops and the pair part, a tense moment over a looming arrest and a desperate plan to escape.
