The third episode of "Sexy Beast" kicks off with Gal delving into the mysteries of the bizarre ornament he uncovered in the safe. Through an associate, he learns that this intricate piece is not only immensely valuable but also a national treasure of Laus. Intrigued, Teddy realizes he might have underestimated Gal and his cronies, as Gal informs Don that he won't hand over the ornament to Teddy until he unravels its secrets and the underlying plot. Gal emphasizes that to pull off this heist, they must be privy to every detail. However, Don argues that their duty is fulfilled by delivering the item, as per their agreement.
Meanwhile, at the casino, Cecelia stumbles upon a sinister scheme – someone is tampering with the slot machines. She tasks Don with uncovering the culprit. Don's investigation leads him to Eddie Bartlett, a notorious figure in such schemes, but this theory is quickly debunked since Bartlett is currently serving a prison sentence. This leaves the question looming: who could be perpetrating this crime?
Gal and Don embarked on a mission to confront Bartlett's wife, harboring the hope that she might illuminate the murky situation. To their astonishment, she admitted her culpability, driven to desperation by her husband's abandonment, which left her financially ruined following his imprisonment. In an unexpected twist, Mrs. Bartlett suddenly swung at Don, cracking him over the head, prompting Gal to leap into action to shield his friend. Enraged, Don longed to retaliate, but Gal held him back, reminding him, albeit reluctantly, of her gender.
Cecelia's displeasure knew no bounds when she came to learn of Gal's restraint. She suspected a deeper motive—that he was attempting to temper her brother's fiery temperament. She insisted that Mrs. Bartlett be dealt with swiftly and decisively, confronting Gal with a stern warning about his overly protective stance.
Later, Stan Higgins storms into the Golden Eagle and orders Gal to vacate the premises. As Gal exits, he's greeted by a car waiting at the curb. Inside, Teddy is at the wheel, brooking no delay in warning Gal to wrap up the job swiftly. Teddy makes it clear that without Gal, Don's utility diminishes. With that stark message, he orders Gal out of his car, leaving no room for doubt about the urgency of the task ahead.
Dee Dee steps into her home, astonishment spreading across her face as she spots her boyfriend there, awaiting her return. They exchange a passionate kiss, and he promptly suggests they embark on creating their own films, freeing her from the shackles of working with the McGraws.
Meanwhile, Freddie McGraw and his father, in cahoots with a corrupt policeman, are hot on the trail of the coin thief. They unleash a brutal attack on Aitch, hoping to coerce him into revealing the thief's identity, but he remains steadfast, revealing nothing.
Elsewhere, Dee Dee brandishes a bat, smashing it into the face of the director of one of her pornographic films. She declares, with fiery determination, that her collaboration with the McGraws has come to an end.
The corrupt cop, under pressure, spills the beans to Freddie, naming Teddy Bass as the culprit behind the coin theft. But Freddie's reaction is swift and lethal; he guns down the cop and speeds off on his motorcycle, hell-bent on confronting Teddy.
In a separate scenario, Cecelia has Mrs. Bartlett in her clutches, forcing Don to carry out a grueling act of violence - smashing her hands with a hammer. Gal, meanwhile, delivers the ornament to Teddy and inquisitively asks who their true employers are. Teddy, with a knowing smile, instructs Gal to pack his bags, promising him all the answers the next day.
Gal complies and leaves, leaving Teddy alone - until Freddie confronts him, gun aimed squarely at his temple. Teddy, unfazed, quips, "What took you so long?" Freddie hesitates, then chooses to walk away rather than pull the trigger.
The episode concludes with Gal reuniting with Dee Dee, the two strolling through the bustling streets together, leaving a trail of intrigue and unresolved tension in their wake.
