<onlyinclude>

The previous morning, [[Conway]] sits at breakfast with [[Lysette]]. The two reminiscence about [[Ira]], Lysette's ex-husband and Conway's former boss, and her son [[Charlie]] who died in a tragic roofing accident. Lysette tells Conway of a mail-order delivery, the "last act" of [[Lysette's Antiques]] before she leaves that day to move in with her sister [[Cora]] due to her old age. As the ''Neurypnol TM'' wears off, the dream slowly vanishes and Conway awakens in [[Dr. Truman]]'s house.

Lula gives Donald the information needed to find [[Dogwood Drive]] and asks him to perform the calculations needed to resolve the previously-mentioned street name collisions. Donald states he should have the results in an hour, and will forward the information to the Bureau. Lula and the group return to the Bureau to wait. As they descend from the Hall of the Mountain King, [[Emily, Ben, and Bob]] can be seen and heard playing "[[What Would You Give]]" in the foreground. Back at the Bureau, Lula states that after sorting through the results and cross-checking references with their records, they were able to find a corresponding [[Silo of Late Reflections|mail stop]] along the [[Echo River]] route, and notes the night ferry is scheduled to stop by shortly, taking them where they want to go. Lula wishes them safe travels, and muses she's feeling impulsive, and may return to Mexico.

While waiting for the ferry, Conway reveals what happened while he was talking with the strangers: he and Shannon had gone via a hidden elevator to an underground [[Hard Times Distillery|whiskey distillery]] staffed by indistinct glowing skeletons, identical in appearance to Conway's new leg. At the distillery, Conway and Shannon meet [[Lem Doolittle|Doolittle]] who mistakes Conway for a new hire as a shipping truck driver. Doolittle gives them a tour, speaking only via a tape recorder around his neck. He hells them about The Formula, a revolutionary equation introduced to them by a [[Weaver|brilliant mathematician]] that allows them to simply plug daily numbers in and run it through an adding machine instead of compounding interest by hand. Doolitrle introduces Conway and Shannon to many of the distillery workers, all of whom who fell into debt and were forced to work to pay it off. He tells Conway he hopes he is a better drive than [[Miguel]] a truck driver who got into an accident that evening involving bourbon and glass strewn across the interstate. In inspecting the truck Conway is expected to drive, he recalls stories of his past with [[Lysette]] and his former boss [[Ira]] in small vignettes. In one story, he recounts the accident that killed Lysette's son [[Charlie]]: too hungover to perform a roofing job, Charlie took Conway's place and, in performing the work in the hot sun, slipped and fell to his death.

On the way back up to logistics, Doolittle tells Shannon and Conway that the black mold from the Hall of the Mountain King is drawn to ethanol fumes which seep through the air into the cavern; not wanting even a drop of whiskey to go to waste, the workers come to scrape it off the machinery. Arriving upstairs, he shows them the adding machine which calculates each day's interest, and tells Conway he is hired, offering him a "shift drink" to mark the occasion. Shannon protests, but Conway, in a daze, cannot resist, and takes a sip of the alcohol (with the game's cursor slowly, automatically moving toward the "Drink" option, outside the player's control). Shannon firmly states that they have a delivery to make and that Conway will not be working for them, but Doolittle notes that the alcohol he just drank was very expensive, not to mention the time he spent giving them the tour. Doolittle says that Conway will start tomorrow, as the scene blurs and fades to black.

Back in the Bureau, the group stands in front of Conway's truck, mulling over what's to come next. A tugboat arrives. As it pulls into view, a horn blares, revealing a gigantic, trumpeting wooly mammoth.
