| Description: |
After a low piano chord, we hear the Native theme from the opening of the film, now played by lush strings; the gamelan ensemble also enters (though not actually present on screen, so it may reflect her memory of the night of the murder, when musicians played this music outside of her house) |
| On-screen: |
