| Mark is having breakfast at the Orient Express. Mason is talking over the phone with somebody about him and gives an order to act. Mary comes out of the bedroom and she is surprised that Mason is still here. He says that the business he works on went easier than he expected. |

| Mark finishes breakfast and he is about to go. At the exit of the restaurant a policeman arrests him on a charge of rape. Mark notices Julia at the restaurant and asks her to be his attorney. |
|
|
| Mary resents Mason's filing a charge against Mark and accuses him of willing to revenge. Mason answers that she is too kind-hearted to make Mark pay for what he has done. He answers Mary's question that he has enough evidences; otherwise he would not file a charge. |

|
| Mary says he does not spare her feelings because of his wish to punish Mark. She says she does not want the intimate details of her marriage to be discussed by everybody. She asks Mason to withdraw an action. Mason does not want to do it. Mary shouts that she does not want to be punished along with Mark, and this trial is going to do this. She refuses to testify against Mark. |
|
|
| Mary is sitting on the sofa in silence. Mason tries to reconcile with her. Mary says with bitterness that although he apologizes he keeps on doing what he wants. Mason does not understand why she does not want to go against Mark and she did not want to do it from the very beginning. He even asks if it is affection for Mark. Mary answers indignantly that it is not. |
|
|
| Then Mason concludes that the reason is a baby and the possibility of Mark's paternity. He promises her that he will accept the baby no matter who the father is. Mary does not want a scandal but Mason says it is the only way to protect their baby from Mark. Mary says with annoyance that there must be another way. |
