Eventually, Ford realizes that in order to survive in Haiti he would have to become a vegetable himself; revolted by the wretched beggars and savage beatings, he escapes to the safety of the U.S. Burton envies the American's innocence, but he has been affected and infected by Ford's passion to obliterate evil.
