The police confront Mr. Lehmann with Mrs. Lorenz's accusation. Mr. Lehmann reacts arrogantly, but privately, he’s worried.

Ms. Gonzor and Mr. Lehmann discuss the complaint that Ms. Lorenz has filed against him, and Ms. Gonzor tells Mr. Lehmann that he will need to stay home while the investigation is taking place. However, he does not want to accept this…

After things become unpleasant for him at home, Mr. Lehmann makes the bad decision of going to Ms. Lorenz's apartment to confront her. His lawyer is concerned that this makes him look quite bad in court, especially now that Ms. Schmidt, his main ally at work, has passed away and can't defend his character.
