Black picks up the exchange with ...h6 at the diagram but misses a more eloquent mate in 5.  What was it?

Oh please!! there is a mate in 3!!! if that is not what you meant.

the black rook from G2 to G4 and the white king must go to H5 where the black advances a pawn to G6, 1. the white advances again the king to H6 and the black moves the queen to F8

2. the white sacrifices the rook from G5 to G6 and black takes the rook with his pawn H7 to G6, either way the white king gets pushed into H6 where the black queen mates him.
