Jackie goes to her car and is ready to leave when another car stops beside her and two men come out. The men explain that they were sent by fugitive-from-the-law Matthew Pearson and they were just making sure she wasn't followed. They tell her she needs to come with them to see Pearson. Jackie is suspicious as they explain she needed to be blindfolded, as Pearson's hideout was a secret. Jackie agrees to a blindfold and goes with them. She meets Pearson at his hideout and he says he's ready to give her an exclusive in order to see if the time was right for him to come out of hiding. He apologized for the blindfold but was worried she might betray him. Jackie tells him to call her when he's finally sure she's not going to betray him and asks to be brought back to her car. Then, she walks away.
