When her efforts lead to a dead end, Beck confronts Joe, who explains everything to Beck’s satisfaction. Joe takes Beck to meet Mooney (who has had a stroke and is unable to communicate), Joe’s father figure and the original owner of the bookstore.

Ron’s abuse puts Claudia in the hospital, and Joe kills him to protect Paco. Joe explains to Beck his reasoning for murdering Benji and Peach, and relates it to his childhood mental abuse at Mooney’s hands. She appears to empathize with Joe and seems grateful for his actions. Beck lures Joe into the vault and manages to lock him in, revealing that it was all just an act to get him to open the door. Still trapped in the basement, she calls out to Paco, who thinks she knows about Ron and leaves. Joe escapes the vault and kills Beck.
