Back in the present, the brothers arrive at the airport, but they suddenly decide to rip up their tickets and go visit their mother. They reach the convent, where their mother is surprised but overjoyed to see them (and Francis coyly admits that his accident was actually a suicide attempt). That night, after the brothers confront their mother for abandoning them, the family gathers together in silence and reconnect in love. The brothers awake the next morning to find their mother gone, leaving them their breakfast. They decide not to wait for her to return.
