James tells him to stop but Alphonse threatens him too and knocks him down before Tate aims his gun at him, while revealing his name. Alphonse silently realizes Ghost set him up before staring down and prepares to shoot until Tate shoots him dead. Tate is held as a hero by the guests, as James thanks him for his acts.
Afterwards, a news crew arrive and Tate talks with them about his actions. He explains that that he knew Alphonse but did not expect for him to relapse into crime. Watching, Ramona notes to James that Tate will be getting publicity with his recent heroics and this will help in the long run.
