Šmucovo in Niko v hiši, v kateri se je, kot ugotovita, zgodilo posilstvo, preseneti prihod Zucchera in Gajića.
Niki se drobci iz usodne noči sestavljajo v zaokroženo sliko Nika zdaj nima več dileme – ve kdo, je storilec, sprašuje se le še – zakaj. Razlogi so šokantni. Živa je prepričana, da je njene novinarske kariere konec, še preden se je začela. Vendar Pretnarjevo dejanje, ki ga Živa razbere med vrsticami poslovilnega teksta, stvari zavrti v nepričakovano smer.
Šmuc and Nika, in the house where they realize the rape took place, are surprised by the arrival of Zucchero and Gajić. For Nika, fragments of that fateful night finally form a complete picture. She no longer has any doubt — she knows who the perpetrator is, and now only asks herself why. The reasons are shocking. Živa is convinced her journalistic career is over before it even began. Yet Pretnar’s act, which Živa interprets between the lines of his farewell text, turns events in an unexpected direction.
