Val's political influence secures his release, but Grant determines to keep an eye on him as he knows that the gambler will not be satisfied until he has secured vengeance on Benny. Val prevails on Nell by threats to lure Benny to an apartment for a supposed birthday party. Grant, following Marron, sees him secure a gun, and when he enters the apartment house takes the opportunity to phone to Detective Galloway. As he finishes the call Nell and Benny enter the apartment. Grant finds the door barred and goes to the rear where a building is being erected. Climbing to a level with the first floor, he sees Marron hiding behind a curtain awaiting Benny. Grant grasps the rope of a crane and starts to swing through the air. Before he can reach the window a shot is heard. A moment later Grant crashes through the window, downing Marron. He turns to find that Nell, her conscience hurt by her part in betraying Benny, whom she really loved, has stepped between "The Rat" and Val at the moment of the shot and has given her life as a sacrifice.
