On the way to the Home Johnny stops short and meets Justin Parry, the owner of "Paradise" who says that the Mackley is a little further up the road. Moving on he meets Peter Mackley at the Home. The Home was built two years ago and is in deep debt. Dr. Nathan Way of Kingston, New York, is the physician for the Home. Dollar demands autopsies on the four deaths. Johnny talks with Kingston police Lieutenant Art Connelly. Back at the hotel somebody slips into Johnny's room and saps him. Dr. Way says that one death was natural but three were poisoned in a way as to make it look like heart failure with sodium theramylisolate. Dr. Way says that the only drugs the victims got were prescribed by him and made up by Mrs. Pierson at the drugstore. However, the drugstore driver is young Eddie Parry and he confesses he was the one who poisoned the prescriptions on orders from his dad, just before he dies of a motorcycle wreck fleeing Dollar and Way.
