Tommy is approached by a priest, Father Hughes, an agent for a group of establishment types anxious to prevent a communist revolution in the country, leading to a meeting with Tatiana's uncle, Grand Duke Petrovna, to discuss the arms deal. Meanwhile Vicente Changretta, leader of a rival Italian gang, suggests a truce, which the headstrong John Shelby, to Polly's anger, rejects. As a result there is a renewal of a violent turf war, culminating at Tommy's evening in aid of his charitable foundation.
