Edgar makes it home, but he hides in the hay bails of the barn instead of making his presence known. He also found out that Almondine had died. Glen has got it into his head that he is going to confront Edgar, one-on-one. Claude even gave him the idea to use ether. While Edgar was in the barn he spies Claude digging out the bottle of poison. Later that night, Edgar went to the woods to wash and sleep. He was woken by Essay, who had been penned in, walking up to him bearing a collar with $330 and car keys taped to it. It was a bribe and proof that Claude knew he was there. Claude also tipped off Glen, who then came to the barn with the ether. He sneaks up on Edgar and put the soaked rag to Edgar's face. He got groggy, but he was able to throw quicklime into Glen's face. Glen is blinded and drops Edgar and the ether. I think he was blind from the beginning, being coerced into the situation without even knowing it. The ether spread and was ignited by a lightbulb and fire quickly spread and smoke engulfed the barn. Edgar went into the barn over and over anyway to get the dogs' files, which were the lifeline of the dogs. Claude goes in too, but only to retrieve the poison. Edgar doesn't see him. He fills a syringe and Edgar never felt the pierce of the needle. Minutes later Edgar fell unconscious and had visions of Almondine and his father. He died shortly after. The smoke was so thick by then, that Claude didn't make it out either. The dogs followed Essay and left.
