Dog in the Manger Showings and a Painter on the Thames

A stranger, also bent on self harm, appears with a brick and is rescued by Smithers who drags him to shore. The two exchange tense dialogue and plans unravel as the stranger imagines betrayal, leading to a dramatic confrontation and a sudden return to the river edge.
