At Sammy’s gallery, Sammy leads Marty Tooms inside and leaves Marty alone before a huge painting of Callie Montrose. Marty is struck silent by the image, and Sammy lets Marty share a private moment with the girl Marty once tried to save and for whom Marty had sacrificed his life.

Afterward, Marty notices the painting beside it, titled Grace Number One. Sammy explains that he has just acquired it after making the same kind of offer he once made to Marty, this time to a young woman in Alabama who will use the money to make her house into a true home.

Later, on the balcony above Monta Clare, Sammy gives Marty a check in addition to returning the house, ensuring that Marty’s land is back in his own name and that his memories are protected. When Marty asks about the painting in the window, Sammy says it is the white house, bought from a dear friend, and explains that he keeps these works because they have become part of Monta Clare’s folklore and a reminder that hope can still prevail.

Marty finally thanks Sammy, but Sammy deflects the gratitude toward Joseph Macauley. Marty says he does not know where Joseph is, and Sammy raises his glass and replies that nobody does, ending the scene with Joseph’s absence hanging over the gift and its meaning.
