When the door opens, the playboy is already back at work. He tells us that he sent away the money so that he could tell the truth about his father's death. He also tells us about his relationship with his sister-in-law, whom he calls "the clever woman." He says that she chose to "play the fool" for the money and prestige she could get from being with him. After the break-up, she tried to force him to reconcile, but it did not work. She also kept spreading rumors that his private life was "a mess" to keep women away from him. The playboy says that he will be back later that night, and he tells the girl to go to sleep first, because he is going to be out all night on business. He then tells her to take her hands off him and tells her that he is still injured. He wants her to speak in his name and sue the gang and her sister. He says he has reason to believe that they were instructed by her. They still have not found any evidence linking her to the crime, but he does have one more thing to ask for: he is not a relative.
