The Wittenmeiers' servant, [[Hannalore]], lets her mistress and Mary in. Mary mentions that the Doctor and Bratfisch were heading to the Stahlbaum's lodgings. Mary and Mitzi hear a horse outside and see a driverless horse-drawn cab across the street. | The Wittenmeiers' servant, [[Hannalore]], lets her mistress and Mary in.

In Stahlbaum's residence, the Doctor smells sulphur and potassium nitrate guessing this to be gunpowder. They risk lighting a match and see bullet holes in the plaster and some splintered wood. It turns out that Drossel is still there and Bratfisch remembers him as a doctor who gave away tickets for a puppet theatre at the Exposition. Drossel introduces himself, claims that Stahlbaum owes him money and admits that the bullets were intended for him but implies that Stahlbaum has missed, which the Doctor hears with disbelief given how small the room is. Drossel then claims that the Turk was in fact his creation, not Stahlbaum's, and was simply stolen from him by the latter to curry favour of the Royal Family, [[Franz Joseph]] and [[Sisi|Elisabeth]]. He threatens the Doctor with consequences if he tries to interfere and leaves. Both Bratfisch and the Doctor noted that there were two bullet holes in Drossel's waistcoat but not a splash of blood.

Meanwhile, Mary and Mitzi are observing the strange cab parked outside Mitzi's house and see a procession wearing masks and moving in a strange way. Mitzi mentions that this is the wrong time of year for Fasching or carnival. The procession rings the bell. Although the Doctor instructed to bolt the door, the women neglected to mention this to Hannalore, who responds to the bell first. Mary bravely takes a stand against the puppets with a poker telling Mitzi to go upstairs and guard the child but is overpowered and carried away. | Meanwhile, Mary and Mitzi are observing the strange cab parked outside Mitzi's house and see a procession wearing masks and moving in a strange way.
