Sunday calls for order, and everyone is seated. He exposes Gogol as a police officer and tells Gogol to put his ID card on the table. It is the same blue card Syme received. Gogol removes his false beard, admits his deception, and congratulates himself on his performance. Sunday tells Gogol he likes him and wants to give him a chance, but if Gogol ever breathes a word of what he knows, he will kill him. Gogol is dismissed.

Sunday instructs Dr. Bull to carry on with the plans and leaves. Syme is the last one to leave the room. He is relieved to be away from the other men and thinks about what he should do next. Syme realizes he has his swordstick but has lost his cloak. He sees Professor de Worms standing near him and hurries away before the professor sees him. He is anxious to collect his thoughts and devise a plan.

Syme sits in the upper level of a nearby restaurant and eats lunch. When he comes downstairs, Professor de Worms is seated at a table. He avoids the professor and leaves. Syme wonders if Sunday told the professor to follow him. He weaves through the streets of London at a quick pace, in order to elude de Worms.
