In the final minute before midnight, the Chancellor breaks down and begs to be let go "in the name of God". Wordsworth agrees to do so and gives him the key to unlock the door. The Chancellor flees from the room just before the bomb explodes, killing Wordsworth. Due to his cowardly display in Wordsworth's room and invocation of God, the Chancellor is replaced by his own subaltern and declared obsolete. He protests against this verdict and tries to escape, but the tribunal's attendants overwhelm him and beat him to death.
