Malloy is a force. He tells, no, orders Sam Evans and Roger Collins to a meeting that night at eleven with Burke Devlin. It is time to get everything out in the open at the fishing fleet office.

He wants to know Sam's connection to the wrongful conviction and isn't about to just forget his presence at the meeting that night. Maggie just cannot believe that her father had anything at all to do with Malloy's death; Sam and Malloy were fr...
