A co-conspirator frantically calls after a staged car crash fails: both targets walked away, and the driver is now demanding $1 million, threatening to expose their murder-for-hire deal. Ordered to silence him, the caller is berated and pushed to act. The scene shifts to a high-end auction where the Heart of Radiance ruby necklace—said to have belonged to the late Ms. Stuart—opens at $1 million and quickly jumps to $3 million. Amid a sudden alarm, someone shouts "Honey, look out!" and invokes a 'Suppressing Talisman.' The crowd notices something off about the necklace, leaving its nature and the blackmail unresolved.
