He has received a note suggesting a tryst in the gardens, which he thinks is from Elisabeth, but which is really from Eboli, to whom he mistakenly declares his love. However, the King produces it and points to the portrait of Don Carlos which it contains, accusing her of adultery. Over the following twenty years, cuts and additions were made to the opera, resulting in a number of versions being available to directors and conductors. In the confusion, Eboli escapes with Carlos. A shadowy figure appears--one of the Grand Inquisitor's assassins--and shoots Posa in the chest. Posa asks Carlos to entrust to him any sensitive political documents that he may have, and, when Carlos agrees, they reaffirm their friendship.Alone, the King, in a reverie, laments that Elisabeth has never loved him, that his position means that he has to be eternally vigilant, and that he will only sleep properly when he is in his tomb in the Don Carlos has been imprisoned. The King sees that Posa is dead and cries out in sorrow. The King gratefully accepts this offer, and again warns Posa to beware of the Grand Inquisitor.
