The crew, as Magnus ordered them, went to the hospital. And the first person who entered Sebastian's room was Catherine who found him reading a newspaper.
Sebastian: Good morning, love. Sorry for bothering you this morning. I feel better now.
She began crying again and suddenly she ran and hugged him, she said:
Cat: Uncle... You're... cancered...
Sebastian: (completely shocked) ... What?
Cat: The doctor said it's liver cancer! I don't want you to die! Not you! I don't want to lose you!
Sebastian: (trying to calm her down) It's ok, I won't die... I won't let you alone... I'm still young... don't you remember? I told you that last night... we're still young...
Scottchand got in the room with the rest of the crew, silently, and so Seb asked him:
Sebastian: Is that right, Magnus?
Magnus: Yes. You're lucky, because the cancer is in the first stage. Rarely liver cancered people know about their sickness in the first stage.
Cat: We need a million dollars to have a surgery, to rescue you.
Magnus: There is a chance in killing the tumor with medicines, without a surgery. However...
Sebastian: What?
Rocky: Why didn't you tell us about the train?
Sebastian: (confused) What?
Rose: A man called William Kingston, our train's seller, sent you a letter, asking you to give him a million dollars to finish paying him.
Sebastian: Damn it... I forgot completely that...
Angry: Now, what should we do? Do you have two millions dollars?
Sebastian: I know that what will I say now will scare you a lot but... I don't have even a million dollars...
George: Huh?!!
Rose: Oh my God...
Sebastian: I spent what we won and raised from our shows around the world on parties and your salaries, and I kept what will be enough for us until the next show in the next year.
Rose: Don't worry, boss; we'll give you back our salaries.
Sebastian: (smiling) No, dear Rose, I won't take your salaries... (Asking Magnus) Magnus, how much is the percentage of surviving without a surgery?
Magnus: I suppose... little... less than 30%.
Sebastian: (pretending the happiness) So... Don't get that worried! We can do it! We're The Extraordinary Circus! We can do anything we want to do! Let us be optimistic! Do you know why people love us? They do because we spread lights, hope and optimist. That's why!
Rocky: Ok, we're always optimistic but...What should we do?
Sebastian: Listen...
Suddenly, he took a little bucket and vomited. The crew got afraid and anxious. But he reassured them, saying:
Sebastian: I'm fine... Don't worry... We need to think... to find a solution... Come on... Let us find a way to offer at least a million dollars to keep our train...
Abruptly, Cat had an idea:
Cat: Uncle! I found it!
Sebastian: What?
