After several days of continuous torture, Ștefan Davidescu mentioned that he had given his brother manifestos to distribute them. The aggressors stop the torture and order Dory and Ion to hit Ștefan, but they refuse and are harshly punished.

He was the first in a group of 15 students in the cell to break down during the unmasking, giving information that he had hidden and tarnishing his own values. As a reward, the aggressors allowed him to walk to his bed. His inner collapse was followed by the fall of Mihai, then Ion, and the last in the group, his cousin Dory.

After transcribing some statements, Ţurcanu evaluates them all and declares them reeducated, each being moved to a different cell. Ștefan was sent to room 4-hospital.
