Three days later then Wax's prediction, on the first of Doxil in 342,{{file ref|House_Record_broadsheet.jpg|The House Record Broadsheet}} Marks robbed the [[First Union Bank (Elendel)|First Union Bank]].{{book ref|mb5|2}} As he escaped with a sack of banknotes on his shoulder, he was pursed by Wax through the streets with Allomancy, while [[Wayne]] and Constable [[Marasi Colms]] followed in a motorcar. Wax followed Marks across the city and through the accounting offices of Linville & Lyons in a skyscraper, protecting several citizens, such as Lady [[Dorise Chevalle]], from being accidentally injured by Marks in his attempts to kill Waxillium and escape.{{book ref|mb5|2}}{{file ref|House_Record_broadsheet.jpg|The House Record Broadsheet}} During the chase the Marksman was shot by Waxillium in the shoulder.{{book ref|mb5|2}} As Marks approached the Breakouts, Wax saw what appeared to be [[Bloody Tan]] watching them from among the bystanders. When Marks entered the Breakouts, he lost the distracted Waxillium, who had crashed to the ground in shock.
Thinking he had escaped, Marks retreated to a hideout in the slums, where he met a few of his local allies.{{book ref|mb5|3}} While Wax and Marasi attempted to canvass the area, Wayne disguised himself as a local and tricked one of Marks' friends into going to his hideout. Wayne followed the man to Marks' hideout, where he burst into the room through a window with a [[bendalloy]] bubble, knocked out Marks, and retreated before anyone else in the room could react. Wayne returned to Wax and Marasi carrying the Marksman over his shoulder. As they prepared to take Marks into custody, an assassin shot crossbow bolts at them, hitting the Marksman in the throat and killing him, so that he could not talk about the Set's plans. The assassin returned to ensure that the Marksman was truly dead, but he was surprised by Marasi. He attempted to take her hostage, but Marasi shot the assassin in the head, killing him as well.
