Farnum is threatened by James Wesley

Farnum was eating lunch in a park when James Wesley approached him and sat beside him; Farnum was annoyed because he wanted to eat alone. Wesley showed Farnum a live video feed of his daughter, Tracy, in a park, unaware she was being watched by Rance. Farnum believed that Wesley was extorting him for Don Rigoletto until he was told that Rigoletto had retired and transferred the debt to a new lender. Wesley said that the debt would be forgiven and Tracy spared if Farnum cooperated with him.[4]

"I'm sorry."
―Clyde Farnum to Karen Page[src]

James Wesley instructed Farnum to assassinate Karen Page, who had discovered a money-laundering scheme orchestrated by Union Allied Construction. As she was incarcerated at the 15th Precinct Police Station for the alleged murder of Daniel Fisher, he snuck inside Page's cell and attempted to strangle her, making it look like a suicide. Farnum apologized to Page as he wrapped a bedsheet around her throat but was unable to kill her as she scratched at his eye and called out for help.
