He tells the traumatized Placido Russo that even a killer like himself wouldn't murder a person who had taken care of him for so long.

He gives Gustavo Baggetta orders to locate Dallas Genoard and bring him back, dead or alive, which Gustavo Baggetta immediately relays to his men. [Episode 1]
~ Luck, Berga, and Keith Gandor discuss the assassination attempt earlier that day, and are informed by one of their henchmen that there had been additional attacks and that they'd captured another Runorata gangster responsible, whom Berga Gandor begins to viciously interrogate immediately.

~ Nicholas Wayne is approached by his assistant in the hallway. He is told that Gustavo Baggetta hadn't yet made his move, and Nicholas Wayne tells him to stay vigilant, as he is hoping that the Gandors and Runoratas would clash and cause an information leak about Dallas Genoard and his involvement in the top secret immortality cases.

~ Young Conductor kicks the gun out of Middle-aged Conductor's hand, catches it, and points it back at him. As his innocent expression and tone of voice melt away, Young Conductor finishes the tale of Rail Tracer, and tells him that it was too late to prevent him from coming, since it would awake inside of him the moment he pulled the trigger. Young Conductor shoots Middle-aged Conductor through the forehead. Dune arrives at the scene in a conductor's uniform, and Young Conductor point the gun at him, demanding to know who he was, since there was supposed to be only two conductors on the train. Dune, however, only dodges the questions, and Young Conductor drops the gun, judging him as the type to not surrender to any mere threat, and says he would have to torture him instead, opening the door to the outside. Dune takes his eyes off of him for a moment as he pulls out his gun, but when he looks up again, Young Conductor had disappeared. Dune steps outside, and Young Conductor reaches up from under the train, pulling Dune down and suspending him about a foot from the tracks. Young Conductor asks him again who he was, and Dune points his gun over his shoulder, so Young Conductor grabs his arm and uses the tracks to scrape away Dune's arm up to the elbow. Dune finally tells Young Conductor his name, but then hesitates again to tell him where he was from, causing Young Conductor to remove more of his arm. [Episode 9]
~ Young Conductor has learned everything about the whitesuits and what they had planned, but only has one more question. Where did Dune get the conductor's uniform? Dune, however, continues to babble about how Ladd Russo loved to play and kill, but Young Conductor doesn't punish him this time, understanding that he was the type who liked to play games. When he asks again, Dune tells him he had gotten it by killing an old conductor back in Chicago, which infuriates Young Conductor, who tells him that the conductor's name had been Tony and that he had been the one who taught him all about being a conductor. Dune laughs crazily until Young Conductor pushes his face down against the rails, killing him. [Episode 9]
~ Young Conductor throws Dune's corpse back into the conductor's room. [Episode 9]
~ Young Conductor lists his enemies, the Russos and the Lemures, but to him, they're all just a joke, and he would easily be able to kill them all.

Nick comments to Nice Holystone that Jacuzzi had suddenly become all fired up and Nice Holystone says that it was the first time since the Russo family had killed eight of their friends.

Goose Perkins tells them that if there was a beacon light on top of a bridge they would pass through in the morning, they would stay safe a little while longer, but if there wasn't, he would kill Mary Beriam and leave her body on the tracks. He couldn't negotiate with her husband while he was on the train, so he had others do it for him. He would also kill Mary Beriam if the police barricaded the tracks, and wouldn't listen to any pleas from Nataly Beriam to have them kill her instead. Goose adds that they would be doing the killing with guns to prepare her. Chane Laforet looks away. [Episode 9]
~ Ladd Russo, Lua Klein, and two other whitesuits arrive at the conductor's room, where Ladd Russo excitedly examines the room and the torn up corpse, wondering what sort of killing method would result in such a mess.

~ Ladd Russo begins to dance around the conductor's room as he wonders more and more about the one responsible for the mess.

Jacuzzi Splot decides to put off hunting "Rail Tracer" and the blacksuits off so they could concentrate on finding their friends first. Jacuzzi Splot tells Nice Holystone and Nick to climb over the dining car to search the other side of the train while he and Donny search the back of the train.

~ Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent reach the conductor's room and are horrified by what they see there. They wonder if it was "Rail Tracer's" doing, and worry about Jacuzzi Splot, who they hadn't seen along the way.

They manage to regain their footing and decide to talk inside of the nearby luggage room. [Episode 8]
~ After Jacuzzi Splot, Donny, Isaac Dian, and Miria Harvent enter the luggage room, "Rail Tracer" enters the conductor's car from the outside and peers down the hall. [Episode 8]
~ After Jacuzzi Splot shares all his information with Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent, they mix and match various Asian stories and information to draw comparisions. They encourage Jacuzzi Splot into becoming the magnificent savior of the train and its passengers, but he doesn't think he could become so amazing, since he broke the law by brewing alcohol and had gotten three people killed yesterday, and adds that the Russo family had killed eight of his friends a while ago and he had gone mad and robbed eighteen of their stores in a single day. Donny tells them that Jacuzzi Splot had been ten times more fearsome than usual and had cried a hundred times more than usual that day. Jacuzzi Splot explains that he had done it to get revenge, but because of his selfishness, many people were killed, so he couldn't become a magnificent person. Isaac grabs him by the collar and explains that ancient Asian generals had killed plenty of people, but they were good people because others believed that they were good people. Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent tell Jacuzzi Splot that they believed he was a good person, so that was what he was, and he thanks them for their support. [Episode 8]
~ Isaac Dian and Miria Harvent prepare to leave the luggage room, but before they go, they tell Jacuzzi Splot and Donny that they would ask "Rail Tracer" to get off the train and go back home, but if he didn't listen and was too strong for them to defeat, they would run and hide. Donny warns them that they could wind up getting themselves killed, but Isaac Dian says that he would just use his hundred guns, all of which consist of his pointing fingers, and when Jacuzzi Splot says he had no guns at all, tells him that there was a gun in everyone's heart. Miria Harvent tells Jacuzzi Splot and Donny not to die and she leaves the room with Isaac Dian. Jacuzzi Splot says that they were heinous and self-centered, so he would have to get busy and show off his own selfishness and become the greatest villain on the train while he was at it. [Episode 8]
~ Czeslaw Meyer invites Ladd Russo into a luggage room, where he pretends to be a normal young boy impressed with his strength and showers him with compliments, which convinces Ladd Russo to let him live for now, and he asks him what he wants. Czeslaw Meyer has a request, and Ladd becomes a little less civil, saying that, depending on whether he laughed or got angry, Czeslaw would live or die, and the only reason he was still alive was because he didn't call him an old man. Czeslaw asks him to kill everyone in the dining car, which shocks Ladd Russo, who asks him if he understood what he just said, and Czeslaw Meyer nods. [Episode 9]

~ The director of the Daily Days and Elean Douger are horrified to learn from Nicholas Wayne that Eve Genoard had been kidnapped, but the director is sure that no harm would come to her and is more worried about the possible sparks between the Gandors and Runoratas, but Nicholas Wayne assures him, lying, that steps had been taken to make sure that didn't happen, and is dismissed. Elean Douger complains to the director that Nicholas Wayne was up to something, but the director is already aware that Nicholas Wayne wanted to learn more about the top secret immortality files, and he also hopes that this situation would bring more information out into the open, especially whether Dallas Genoard had become immortal or not.

Donny tells them that Jacuzzi Splot had been ten times more fearsome than usual and had cried a hundred times more than usual that day.

Isaac grabs him by the collar and explains that ancient Asian generals had killed plenty of people, but they were good people because others believed that they were good people.

Donny warns them that they could wind up getting themselves killed, but Isaac Dian says that he would just use his hundred guns, all of which consist of his pointing fingers, and when Jacuzzi Splot says he had no guns at all, tells him that there was a gun in everyone's heart. Miria Harvent tells Jacuzzi Splot and Donny not to die and she leaves the room with Isaac Dian.
