While Albert tails the Count, the Count unknowingly drops his pocketwatch, which Albert uses to set up a meeting with the Count. When he tries to return the watch, he and Franz are invited to dinner during the final spectacle of the Carnival. Albert is offered a chance to pardon one of three murderers by choosing one out of three of playing cards, but randomly chooses the boastful murderer, Rocka Buriol, to his surprise and dismay.
