Iris tells Grant that Dennis is free and they are meeting Elliot and Dennis for a drink at the Club and then adds that she is having Ryan arrested for Alex's murder. Ryan tells Donovan that he didn't kill his uncle and that is all he will say and storms off. Dennis tells Elliot that he is going to take Vicky's offer and come back to KVIK.
