Synopsis for "A Little Knowledge"
In Chesler, also known as "the Sweatshop", Andrew "Eyes Eisenstein was hiding from Jack-in-the-Box and saw his real face. He could picture himself leaving the Sweatshop and becoming rich if he learned Jack-in-the-Box's true identity. Eyes went to Craig Avenue Bar & Grill and accepted a job. There, he also told his colleagues about his encounter with Jack-in-the-Box moments before the hero crashed into the bar. As Eyes fled, Jack-in-the-Box demanded to know where the Middleman was picking up stolen goods.
On another day, he saw Jack-in-the-Box in his true identity walking with a woman who he learned was Tamra Dixon from Channel 3 News. Later, Eyes searched Tamra Dixon, found a picture of her with Jack-in-the-Box, and learned that his real name was Zachary Johnson, CEO of Z.J. Toys. At his job at Everett Pier, he was carrying a crate into a truck when Jack-in-the-Box burst out from the crate and attacked him and the other criminals, although he escaped the fight and after hiding, he decided to take a bus to Anchorage.
