Patty tortures Cato. She has her men waterboard him using her pantyhose and she shaves off all of his hair including his eyebrows. She tells him that she uses men like him to help her capture other slaves and other black people because people trust others who look like them. She claims that in order for him to be let go he has to help her capture 60 black people, 30 for him and 30 on Devi's behalf. 

Patty explains this and how black people think to the magistrate, and Cato "proves her point" when he tries to shoot her with an empty shotgun. She sets up a deal with the magistrate to capture more black people, including free black people for a profit. 

Cato is sent into a bath house where he strikes up a conversation with a free black man in there. He eventually turns the man over to Patty's men, and the free man tells people about his papers, but it doesn't matter. When Devi finds out what Cato has been doing she's upset. She calls it barbaric and refers to him as being a monster.

Cato, fed up with what she's said and her inability to grasp what things are like in America, he turns her over to Patty too. Devi is sold into slavery despite not being black or American, and instead of 59 people, he's down to only needing 28 more.
