Fourteen years of absence shattered the silence of London. Sweeney Todd, consumed by grief and a thirst for vengeance, had returned. His razor sang death to every customer, their bodies fed to Mrs. Lovett’s ovens. But fate turned cruel. A beggar woman, his wife, stumbled into his shop. Unrecognized, she fell under his blade.

"I killed her!" In a blind rage, he hurled Lovett into the fire, then collapsed beside his dying love, babbling desperate promises as she weakly called his name.
