When Maria demands that Zack come home as soon as possible, Zack promises to return, only to black out again and awaken while driving a car with a gun beside him in the passenger’s seat. Zack tries once more to discard the mysterious weapon, but he soon finds himself in the back of a Chinese restaurant where a man and woman present him with a ceramic gun that is impossible for a metal detector to trace.

Horrified, Zack suddenly realizes that he is on track to assassinate her! Zack tries to turn himself in before anything can happen but to no avail.
