Brandt dines with a high-ranking military acquaintance, Oberst von Elmendorff, who tries to recruit him in a military plot to assassinate Hitler, while Kessler invites Albert to a strange garden party.

Kessler tries to help Brandt as he tries to cope by heavy drinking and flirting with Monique at the Candide.
