Martha, Aiden's aunt, rushes to stop the Lowell household from shipping the six-year-old away. Family elders insist he is expendable while insisting only Toby is their true grandson; servants and drivers try to force Aiden into a car. Martha blocks the vehicle, pleads and is threatened—drivers are ordered to drive and even told to run her over. Inside, Aiden panics and the group shouts that "Aiden has asthma. He needs his inhaler or he could die!" Despite the alarm, they lock him in and speed off. Aiden repeatedly calls for his parents, leaving his immediate safety unresolved.
