- BENJAMIN BARKER !! Sweeney shouted with a psychotic look and lifted her silver blades about to kill the Judge.
Then it was when Mr. Todd ripped the throat of his enemy and saw his blood spurt everywhere that he could finally feel avenged for all the disgrace that had happened in his life. Lose his dignity, his family and his freedom for 15 years all thanks to the greed and envy that Judge Turpin had with the life of the simple barber Benjamin Barker.
Then after the execution Sweeney gets rid of the body of Turpin throwing it by the passage that was in the ground.Judge
After that he hears a strange noise outside. Then he looks quickly out the window and hears hooves of horses approaching of the Fleet Street. It was the London police.
Sweeney, frightened by what he sees, decides to descend as quickly as possible to escape the barbershop floor. But unexpectedly the large chest in Mr. Todd's barber shop opens a few inches and he can see two curious eyes from someone in there. He approaches the chest and opens it revealing the person once, and apparently he was just a boy.
Mr. Todd then says:
- I do not know who you are, but you'll be sorry you're here. - He points the blade of his razor to that person.
But at this very moment, Sweeney hears a scream from Mrs. Lovett who is in the basement, so that he does not waste any more time there, he gives up killing the person to see what was going on down there and to escape the approaching police . He points the blade one last time to such a person and says.
- Forget my face, ... - That's the last thing Mr. Todd says before he rushes into the basement.
The boy was actually Johanna, daughter of Sweeney and Lucy, who hid her beautiful blond hair in a beret so as not to be recognized. She breathes in relief. Johanna did not know who that lord, but she saw perfectly when he killed Judge Turpin and was frightened by the horrible scene. Without hesitation she leaves and runs down the stairs to the middle of the street without knowing exactly where to go or where to wait for Anthony.
Mr. Todd quickly leaves for the basement to see what's going on down there.
- Why did you scream? - Sweeney asked when he came down the stairs looking at Niellie. She was panting as if he had just taken a big fright.
