Carter is captured by the monks of the temple and doused in gasoline in preparation for a public immolation. He escapes at the last minute and sets light to the chief monk instead. Back at their hotel, Carter confronts Baxter. Baxter's wife attacks Carter and Baxter accidentally shoots. Carter shoots Baxter but before he dies he whispers the name of the ringleader.
