In this short scene, Dr. Ganymede explains that he has just made a dream in which he sees the hostage locked inside the house. He asks the doctor to come in and test the potion on the hostage. The doctor refuses to touch the hostage, saying that the potion will make the hostage bleed to death. The hostage protests that he cannot drink the potion without the permission of the village chief. He says that the chief has already decided to kill him, and that the doctor should come in, close the bottle, and feed the potion to the hostage's mouth. He then blames the doctor for the spill of the pill bottle, saying, "you still dare't blame me, huh ! go to hell!" The doctor explains that doctors are supposed to be benevolent, but that ordinary people are obliged to pay for the deaths of their patients. The village chief, he says, is not interested in money or power, but only in killing people.
