At this point Hossam is convinced the officer is pursuing him and confesses to the shooting. He is surprised when he learns the inspector knows nothing about his crime; the inspector has just been on his way to attend his sister's wedding. The inspector decides to cancel the vacation to turn the criminal in. On the way to the police station during another escape attempt it becomes clear to the officer that Hossam has fled his father's home and that he has seduced a girl who has had his baby. The inspector has emotional conflicts and wants to correct what is between Hossam and Hoda. He brings them together and discovers the man Hossam shot did not die.
