- Mustafa tells us that Gustave was just as vain and insecure as his patrons but he never grew old like them.
- Neither did Agatha. Two years after their marriage, she and their son died of a disease called Prussian grippe.
- Before this, on another train at another barley field, they are stopped. Gustave once again tries to defend Zero whose papers aren't any good.

- The soldiers shoot Gustave.
- As his sole heir, everything of Gustave's goes to Zero.
