The police take away Preysing to prison for killing a Baron. Kringelein asks Flaemmchen what she was doing with someone like Preysing. She tells him, that regretfully she was with him for the money, so she could start a new life for herself in America. Kringelein reminds her that he has money, and he will always take care of her. Erik finds out that everything is okay with his son and wife. Witt, Sandor, and Raffaela usher Grushinskaya out the lobby of the hotel, hoping that she will not hear of The Baron’s death. The Doctor, looks through the lobby of the hotel, and notes, “Grand Hotel, Berlin. Always the same – people come, people go – One life ends while another begins – one heart breaks while another beats faster – one man goes to jail while another goes to Paris – always the same.” The Doctor decides, “I’ll stay – one more day.” MUSICAL NUMBERS 1.
