Mr. Ricci uses his influences to stay free and then is confronted by Omar. Mr. Ricci tells him that the consequences of his crimes will also affect Anna as long as he was only giving their names to someone more powerful than them. He warns Omar that his daughter is now running a danger worse than the jail.

Meanwhile, we come back to the starting scene, where The Virgin convinces Awa to use her handkerchief as long as it would help her with her sight sickness. Awa dry her tears in her handkerchief and suddenly is able to see clearly. The Virgin then asks her that, when she fells something she will relieve it without hesitation.

In the security house, Omar is scared by the portraits, but decides to try to save Anna.

But the second gangster arrives and Omar tries to stop him, he ends up almost knocked down by his rival but Anna manages to beat him down with a chair.

Then Omar and Anna tries to escape and, while Anna is hiding inside the room, Omar ends watching one of the portraits and suddenly he sees a woman that he identifies as his mother. She encourages him to embrace what he loves most. Omar makes Anna come out and embraces her, now she also disappears and the couple manage to get out of the security house. Anna reappears but Omar is not capable to become visible again. The gangster come after her but suddenly a group of police cars arrive.
