Nowak believes his beloved daughter has been executed as a heretic. Father Grabowski comes across a letter from Badeni containing an unusual request.

In a medical area within the inquisition chamber, a wounded Oczy awakes to see Nowak, who has kept him alive in hopes of extracting information.

Nowak gives two rookie inquisitors a terrifying first taste of their new roles. Badeni meets with Jolenta and tells her he has completed his theory.
