A suitable moment for an intruder to enter, as someone forces the door of her house. Before she realizes it, she heads for the entrance and, without batting an eye, opens the door for a helpless lady in a zimmer frame. The mysterious old woman believes she is at her residence, but Bruna undoes the mistake, informs her that she knows where she lives and can take her there.
