Amanullah leaves Kabul, covered in shame after crying in front of the world's cameras at the UN. He takes refuge in the Mountains of Logar, at the home of Monadjat, a "war lady", a long-time friend. Axel, against Lala's advice, decides to adopt Aklamash, a 12-year-old orphan who has been following him everywhere since they met. As for Michel, he was arrested by the anti-drug squad which forced him to work together to bring down Jamal's business. For Michel, it's an opportunity to get rid of the Russians by making them take the blame.

Après son intervention émouvante à la tribune de l'ONU, le colonel Amanullah se sent honteux. Les journalistes de la presse internationale le sollicite pour l'interviewer. Mais ce dernier décide de quitter Kaboul pour se ressourcer dans les montagnes du Logar chez Monadjat, une vieille connaissance. Lala comprend à quel point Jamal est devenu dangereux et met tout en oeuvre pour retrouver son père.
