After finally making it back to the building that he used to call home he meets a woman named Mrs Lovett who runs a Meat Pie Shop on the ground floor. Mrs Lovett recognizes who Sweeney really is and relays the tragedy that his family faced after he was taken away, and she reunites him with his straight razors which will begin his journey of revenge.
