Daniel is subsequently visited by Eli while drunk in the private bowling alley in his mansion. Eli, now a radio preacher, offers to sell Daniel the property rights to the Bandy ranch, as William Bandy has recently died. Daniel agrees on the condition that Eli denounce his faith and his own credibility. Eli reluctantly acquiesces, only for Daniel to then reveal that the property is now worthless because Daniel's neighboring wells have already tapped and drained the same oil reservoir. Shaken, Eli confesses to being in dire financial straits and to having strayed morally. Daniel taunts Eli in revenge for his own previous humiliation before chasing him around the bowling alley and eventually beating him to death with a bowling pin. Exhausted, Daniel collapses on the floor next to Eli's body. When his butler appears to ask about the commotion, Daniel announces "I'm finished."
