The group stops for the night to sleep and one of the travelers, Wilner, makes the rules for what they can and cannot do in order to be safe. They see a fire down the mountain and can smell burning human flesh and decide it’s time to move on. Wilner insists they go through the forest to the border and that a pair of Dominican sisters can no longer travel with them. The group acquiesces to his direction and moves on. At the foot of the mountain, they find an abandoned settlement that belongs to Haitian traders. At first, the group is excited thinking they have found protection, but Yves discovers several dead bodies hanging from nooses, so they keep going. 

The group arrives in the bustling city of Dajabon at night. The try to blend in but it doesn’t work, and a group of men end up attacking them. Despite putting up a good fight, Tibon is killed. Yves and Amabelle are forced to kneel while several people shove their mouths full of parsley, making it almost impossible to breathe or think. All around them, people celebrate the Generalissimo’s presence in the city, and Dominican pride in general.
