Intruders burst into the Kerr household demanding a will and press Mrs. Kerr for it. She insists she didn't make one; attackers rough her and shout for the document. Mr. Kerr orders Briar to fetch the contract from the study while staff scramble. Mrs. Kerr is wounded and bleeding; servants call for a doctor and nurse as people rush in to help. One attacker snarls, "Kill her," and threatens a pregnant woman as well. Medical help arrives but the killer's order remains, leaving Mrs. Kerr's fate immediately unresolved.
