Lino, Angela's estranged husband, takes the trio of runaways to his father's estate. The men in pursuit will not bargain with anyone. The chase is on again.
Kim, the man who the children's mother was to have met, rescues the runaways. He takes them to a forgotten town in the mountains run by a religious society.
