with him. Adam had previously helped the Rajah in India, and the latter tasked him with finding his treasure by extracting information from Hater, in return for a job in India. Adam was only using Eve and Kile as stooges to get Hater out, should in case anything go wrong. But now that the plan has failed and Baird is delivering Hater by himself, Adam didn't need Kile anymore and got rid of him by tipping police about the necklace. Adam tells Eve to come with him to India to become the Rajah's concubine, to which Eve flatly refuses. In anger Adam tries to kill Eve but is stopped by the spying Dallas. He sends them both to hospital. The last phase and twist of the story moves to Baird. Slowly dying of gangrene and sepsis, he forgets about the gagged and bound Hater with him and drives to Anita's apartment to meet her. Olin and Dallas arrive with cops, and both question Anita. Hater is found dead of suffocation and injury in Baird's car already. At this point it is revealed by Anita that Hater was actually her father, and she was waiting for him all these years to return. Dallas sends Anita to meet the sick but armed Baird alone in her apartment. Anita tells Baird who actually Hater was, and Baird says he didn't mean to kill him. She also tells him at this point that there really is no treasure existent now because it was taken by her mother (Hater's wife) when Hater was arrested long back, abroad on a ship which sank with the treasure but her mother was saved and she moved on with life. Anita helped Baird because she dislikes police for what they did to Hater. Anita then leaves, and Olin and Dallas confront Baird. A now remorseful Baird requests them not to charge Anita with sheltering him before, and dies. Olin decides to leave Anita out of the case. Prodded by Purvis, Dallas speaks to Anita and offers her money for any information on the treasure, but she flatly denies knowledge about it and walks away. The impressed Dallas offers to help Anita in future.
