Stiglitz take refuge in the caravanserai and Nazrullah and Nur go to get help. Ellen has joined the Koshis, and is now with their leader Zulfikar. The Koshis offer to take Mark back to Kabul, and behind his back, practically steal every single part of his jeep.
Instead, he is given a secret mission to travel further with the Koshis and find out that secret place, where all the nomadic tribes of Asia meet once every year.
