Jack angrily throws his beer in Alfred's face. Alfred tries to kill Jack and Jack runs up the 80-foot-high section of stone wall that still has wet mortar at the top. Alfred tries to throw Jack off the wall but Jack escapes. The wall is seriously damaged in the process. Alfred pursues Jack into the nearby mason's lodge where two men accidentally set fire to the lodge during the fight. Philip is furious and insists that either Jack or Alfred must leave.
