Mariana confronts Angelo as the Duke calls for Friar Lodowick. In a scuffle with Lucio, the Friar is unmasked and revealed as the Duke. He calls for the women to be released and forces Angelo to marry Mariana before condemning him to death. Mariana begs for mercy on behalf of Angelo. Barnardine arrives and is pardoned by the Duke. The Provost confesses that she’s kept Claudio alive, and reunites him with Isabella. The Duke sends Lucio to prison and rewards those who behaved honorably with what he thinks will make them happy.
