The police investigating the truck crash discount Paul's comment that the driver's blood is literally on Quintillus' hands, and Inspector Rinaldi (Jan Arvan) orders the museum closed until the murderer is caught. That night, Tina sneaks in to sketch Quintillus. He arises and walks toward her. She screams, a watchman runs in and shoots Quintillus, but the bullets have no effect. Tina faints, Quintillus kills the watchman, then places the bronze brooch on Tina's jacket. By the time help arrives, Quintillus is again immobile.
