At a public event someone shouts Sean's name and taunts him for his past as a deaf-mute, accusing him of hating crowds, ridicule, and his current self. Another person complains Sean wouldn't even brush them off with sign language. The insults escalate into a comparison to the Rivera family, calling him a 'rotten apple'. The scene cuts to Ms. Stone's office where P&S Studio submits a formal request for a 200 million fund. Advisers call it preposterous and press Ms. Stone: Will you still follow through? She is left to decide; no answer is given.
