While playing poker with Weis, Will bets all of his time and wins 1,100 years in the hand. Afterward, Sylvia invites him to a party in the Weis mansion. Will buys a mid-1960's Jaguar XK-E and drives himself to the party, where the Timekeepers quickly apprehend him. Raymond Leon confiscates all but two hours of Will's time, but Will manages to escape with Sylvia as a hostage. En route to Dayton they are ambushed by Fortis and his gang, who take all but thirty minutes of their time. Will attempts to get some time back from Borel, but learns that he used his time to drink himself to death. Sylvia is forced to pawn some jewelry to get time, and Will calls her father to demand a 1,000 year ransom for her. Weis refuses to pay, and Will decides to release Sylvia. She calls her father again from a pay phone, but they are ambushed by Leon, whom Sylvia shoots by accident.
