Matthew drops his jar of water, and it shatters. As the voices approach, he and Gus cling to each other. Suddenly, a familiar voice calls out to Gus, and Gus recognizes that it’s Rossi. Gus calls in return, and as Rossi appears, he notices that she’s accompanied by Jessie. Jessie, apparently, has mentioned Gus’s plan to Rossi, encouraging them both to intervene.

Rossi tries to convince Gus to turn back. When Gus refuses, Rossi and Jessie decide to stay and help. Rossi throws on her motorcycle helmet for protection, and she and Jessie fish out a few digging tools from her backpack. With Matthew supervising, the group begins to dig.

Matthew and Jessie share a few tense words. Jessie traces his ancestry back to José Navarro, and he assumes that Matthew is related to William Dufort. The two briefly scuffle until Rossi interrupts them, admitting that she doesn’t know the mine’s history. Matthew and Jessie each relate a different version of events. When they again come to blows, Rossi wonders why Jessie isn’t willing to move on. Jessie says that his family might be rich if Dufort had not murdered Navarro.

Meanwhile, Gus focuses on digging. Eventually, he strikes a weak point in the wall and chisels a small hole.
