She breaks down explaining that he was threatening her and she didn’t know what to do. Vincent calms her and suggests they call the police as it was clearly an accident. Claudette panics and tells him not to. She paces the room and tells him to trust her. Vincent doesn’t understand and follows her to the basement but Gavin has gone.

The back door is open and Claudette runs out onto the Square looking for him. She worries he’s gone to the police and Vincent finds Gavin’s photo on the floor and asks Claudette to explain. She tells him that Gavin knew his father and was there the night he died. Vincent asks to know exactly what happened that night; things don’t add up. He asks her outright if she killed Henry and she finally admits that she did. She explains that she pushed him off the balcony and that his body was buried under the Spring Lane estate.

She tells him that the urn she has kept is filled with dust from the vacuum cleaner. Vincent puts his hands around his mother’s neck and begins to choke her. Patrick comes down the stairs and pleads with him to stop…
