Gathering his wife and three children, the missionary seeks the help of God through prayer. The low mutterings from the assembly grounds have subsided. Suddenly, frighteningly loud shrieks cut the darkness - shrieks of victory. The missionary peers out his bedroom window. Yan villagers are pouring into his front yard.
Lighted torches illuminate two men carrying a lifeless form tied to a pole.
Yans says that the missionary should return the intruder's lifeless body to his home villa ge. The crowd insists that the axe-mangled Emsa deserved his end. The missionary is stunned horrified and grieved. The spokesman again insists that the body must be returned to the enemy side. If not, the man's dead ancestral spirits could cause disease and death among the Yans.
