Save your questions until the end, because right now we’re jumping out of this window to escape from the Real Cops. Who is “Them?” What’s the significance of “We live in a twilight world?” Who has the Well-Dressed made contact with? Shhh. While this conversation is going on some of the Real Cops are coming down the corridor, shooting terrorists. This siege is a blind for them to vanish you.” The Well-Dressed Man complains that he has already established contact, but Pete insists that he has to either bring the Well-Dressed Man in or kill him. Then the Pete tells him, “You’ve been made. Then Pete addresses the Well-Dressed Man, saying, “We live in a twilight world,” to which Well-Dressed Man responds, “And there are no friends at dusk.” They kill his military friend and anyone else in the room.
