- Fire Chief Conklin, under the direction of two mechanics, repairs the Ford. It takes all day. During this time the gang tries to reason with Coalhouse, but he won't listen.
- Father, now a hostage, talks with Younger Brother and asks what he should tell Mother. Younger Brother says he can't tell Father because Father is self-deluded and an oppressor of humanity. They argue and then Younger Brother leaves, saying that neither Father nor Mother will see him again, though he loves and admires his sister.
- When they are set to leave, Father is left behind. Mother's Younger Brother will be the hostage, now that he's wiped off his black face, since—as Coalhouse says—one white face looks like another.
- The gang exits and drives off in the Model T, leaving Father and Coalhouse behind.
