Winston got up from the ground and sprinted out of his apartment, but Fontaine and his goons had already left. Winston was about to go back into his apartment and alert Andrew Ryan himself, but then he realized that it would be no good. All that would be done by Ryan is him telling the editor of the Rapture Tribune his front cover article for tomorrow's paper. No, Winston had a job to do: save his family by giving Fontaine his guns.

Winston entered the dock that the weapons were to supposed to be at and sure enough, there they were, all in boxes. Winston knew to get the guns he'd need to knock out the man at the dock, so he creeped up behind the man and picked up a wrench off of the floor, and then he struck the man in the back of the head. Winston watched in horror as the man fell to the floor. What had he gotten himself into? Winston then made sure that the pneumo was set to send the weapons to where Fontaine had instructed. Winston then loaded every last box into the pneumo.

Suddenly the lights cut out and large T.V screen emerged from the wall and turned on to show a picture of Andrew Ryan. "So tell me Mr. Hoffner, what did I do to make you steal my merchandise and sell it to the Saturnine over in Arcadia? I mean after all I gave you a job, so that you and your family may prosper in the city that I created!" Boomed Ryan. "No, no, no, Mr. Ryan you don't understand! Fontaine and his guys kidnapped my wife and child, and told me to deliver these weapons to him or he'd kill my family!" Winston explained. "Now why would he do that, Winston? Mr. Fontaine was the one who informed me of your treachery." Ryan questioned. Then Ryan continued, "For your crimes you shall pay the death penalty, because after what you've done people might end up dead! But I will not kill you. All I will do is put you up on the wall outside my office, next to the other parasites such as yourself." Ryan threatened. Winston ran out of the dock and continued through Port Neptune.

As Winston approached the Bathysphere he was suddenly halted. He could not move and he was ice cold, as if he'd been frozen. A man with Ryan security then walked up to Winston and struck him with a pipe. As he fell to the floor everything went black.
