Part 1, Chapters 31-40 Summary

Elizabeth unveils the binder with Ian’s financials to the police. She pretends she doesn’t know what is in them by saying it’s “probably all nonsense” but she will let him be the judge (91). Jason soon arrives, and Chris asks him to step outside for a photo op; Jason was a famous boxer before retiring and later facing difficulties. Jason gives his phone number to Donna and asks that she send him a copy of the photo she took of him and Chris; Chris is curious as to why, but Donna says it’s because Jason wanted an excuse to give her his number. Later, Donna brings up the fact that Jason knew Tony better than he initially made it seem. Jason denies it and says that he never had any dealings with Tony. Chris then shows Jason the photo featuring Jason, Tony, and Bobby at Black Bridge, but Jason easily avoids any association by saying that people ask him for photos all the time.

Elizabeth visits Penny again in Chapter 33, when John interrupts her thoughts. He says that he was watching a television show on the day of Tony’s murder, when he saw Ian’s car leaving from the top of the hill at 3 pm.
