Harvey meets up with Brandon an old childhood friend at the public service office. Brandon lies to Harvey and tells him that he's on work release to fix computers. He says he has been assigned to iron out the glitch in the 17 cents affair, when he has actually been called in by The Minister. The Minister is getting more and more stressed out concerning the State Security files issue, so much so Harvey, when reporting to clean the restrooms, finds the Minister vomiting. The Minister tells Brandon he must not fail. Brandon devises an explosive solution to solve The Minister's problem.
