Mom is about to leave with a man who suddenly appears and knows the contract, prompting urgent family intervention. Ash (her son), Susan, Sean and Shannon plead with her not to go, promise to care for her, and warn that the man will take the land and antique then abandon her after getting the money. Susan stresses the man's suspicious knowledge; the mother refuses and declares, "I'm not transferring the land rights, and that's final!" The scene closes with an accusation and the chilling threat, "You'll die a miserable death!"
