Dean Richmond, an ex-con straight out of prison, is hired to write for the magazine. He and Peter work with Tracy on a cover-up briber story in connection with the union elections. Dean hoodwinks both Peter and Kane out of $5,000 that was meant for a payoff and shows up at Tracy's with the money and knife. She talks him into asking for help.
