Pledge and his crew run down into the Gallery Place sewers and set out fresh chicken, tuna, and shrimp. The smell fills the air in the basement stacked with food along the lower track tunnel.

O’Diseases and Woo Germ are playing pool. What’s this? The boys made early dinner. Followed by their crews, they race to the basement and begin feasting.

Pledge signals his waterfront crews to begin chewing on the metro train track electrical power lines at the L’Enfant Plaza Station tunnel, causing it to short out. A fire breaks out and thick black electrical smoke rushes through the tunnel, all the way to Gallery Place station!

Pledge and his crew steal a phone from the metro train on the upper level, looking down on the O’Diseases and Woo Germ’s rats feeding, waiting for the basement to begin to fill with smoke so he can film them as they die.

O’DISEASES: Woo, we need to talk. Dean’s outfit tried to rub-out that cat, Bill, on Capitol Hill. Dean came here in 1920 from New York to rub-out that long-time Union Station mob boss, Mucus, and took over his organization.

WOO GERM: Let’s get him first. Put a hit on him with the freelance gangs. They might get lucky.

O’DISEASES: Them bands of country hicks from VA and MD?! They wouldn’t stand a chance!

WOO GERM: Then we should have a sit-down with Dean and discuss territory rights.

O’DISEASES: That won’t work. The first sit-down meeting with that dirty rat Dean, bosses from the upper Northwest Woodley Park, Friendship Heights and Dupont Circle station crews attended and never returned. I tell you, Woo, we got to get him now!

WOO GERM: Boys, y’all did good tonight, making this early dinner.

Their lungs being to fill with smoke. They start coughing.

WOO GERM: What?! It’s a trap! Make a run for it, boys! I can’t see! I can’t breathe!

O’DISEASES: This is it, Woo. We’re trapped, like RATS!

Smoke fills the basement and they all die.

DEAN: Okay, but I want it done. Find that Willie the Squirrel. I want him!

RAGS: Boss, Pee Wee the Flea could send us to Sing-Sing on racketeering charges. That’s a 20-year stretch.
