Trask begs Judith to release him and repent of the sin of entombing him forever in a remote room in the West Wing. Shortly thereafter, Judith announces that the West Wing is to be sealed off, being intolerably expensive, and that she has changed the locks to its doors. Judith has secretly arranged to have a direct phone line connected to Trask's tomb, which she uses to inform him that she knew about the death he had intended for her, as Trask's last supply of candles burn down, leaving him in darkness.
