Sweeney slowly opened the bakery's door and looked both at Mrs. Lovett and Laura, both looking down.
Mr. T- What did you tell her?
Mrs. L- The truth Mr. T... You told me to do so..
Laura got up and looked at him while she was holding her broken arm.
Laura- Are you really my father?
Sweeney took his razor out and placed it on the table.
Mr. T- I'm sorry... he mumbled
Laura though limped towards him and hugged him while she had tears running down her cheeks. Sweeney, unexpectedly, put his end hand on her shoulder to push her a bit away and with his other hand held her chin up, only to see dry blood on her nose and forehead, and some couple of bruises here and there.
Mr. T- I never knew... I wanted to take revenge.
Mrs. Lovett got up and went downstairs, to take care of the bodies, she said. Sweeney, before following her along, gave her daughter a wet towel to clean her face and told her to stay here. He got his razor and went downstairs.
Five minutes had past when she heard both Mrs. Lovett and her dad singing and then... screaming. Screaming of a woman being burnt alive for knowing that his wife was alive after all, that she hadn't died, and that she also knew he had a second daughter. Screaming of Mrs. Lovett getting punished for what she had done. Deep down Laura felt like her dad had done the right thing.
She got up and slowly walked down the stairs leading to the basement. She opened the door to see Sweeney on the floor hugging a woman lying down. She had blood all over her face and neck, it was the same woman he had killed before. That woman had turned out to be Lucy, his beloved wife, and Laura's lost mother.
Laura- Who's that?
Mr. T- Lucy..... he sang.
Laura- Mom?
Sweeney started singing about a barber and his wife... him and Lucy.
Laura turned around to the oven and looked at what there was inside it from a tiny whole, burnt clothes and the smell of burnt flesh. She heard a sound but ignored it. Six seconds later she turned around to see her father still holding her mother on his hands and a shadow grabbing the razor next to him, Toby.
Laura- NO!
Before Todd could turn to look at her Toby sliced his throat and threw the razor down. Blood was dripping from the opening of his neck and his head started to slowly fall towards the floor. His blood was dripping on Lucy's head creating a big pool of blood on the ground.
Laura- WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!
Toby- I did the RIGHT thing, he's a bad human being!
Laura- That bad human being turns out to be my dad!
Toby slowly looked at her with a disappointed look and ran upstairs, probably to call the police...
