Karras interrogates Tania about the murder. Alexandros tries to leave the country with her, but is caught by the police. Avgeri then tricks Tania into believing that Alexandros gave himself up as the murderer. Not wanting Alexandros to take the blame, Tania also confesses, before unsuccessfully attempting suicide in jail. Alexandros breaks her out of the hospital, only to have Tania give herself up so Alexandros doesn't get involved. She then refuses to speak to him. He proposes to her, saying he can't live without her.
