At night, the addiction patient who Thackery previously hypnotized into rejecting alcohol sneaks out of his ward at the Knick to drink embalming fluid. He’s discovered dead the next morning.
Bertie goes over his research on adrenaline with Thackery. Using a rabbit as a test subject, Bertie captures Thackery’s interest by showing how the gland extract can jump-start a failing heartbeat. A nurse interrupts Bertie’s presentation: Mr. Brockhurst, Zoya and Nika’s minder, has arrived at the Knick with a gun, in search of his “property.” Thackery is able to distract Mr. Brockhurst long enough for Cleary to come up behind the man and knock him unconscious with a baseball bat.
