Episode: 2
Hannah endures a decade of harsh physical labor and recurring malaria in Africa while officials ignore her transfer requests. Back home, Samuel makes monthly phone calls to keep her trapped there. Samuel then visits Hannah as she lies dying in a broken hut. He tells her that Grace faked her injury and the doctor took a bribe. A man in a military dress uniform enters and demands to know if she admits her mistake.
Hannah works in ditches and muddy fields under the scorching heat for a decade. She endures repeated bouts of malaria and ages prematurely. Her neighbor Martha notices her deteriorating state while officials continue to ignore every transfer request Hannah files.
In an office flashback, Samuel sits in his quarters and places a phone call to the Peace Corps director. He orders the director every month to reject Hannah's requests and keep her trapped working in Africa.
Samuel arrives at Hannah's decaying hut as she lies dying under a mosquito net. He explains that Grace faked her knee injury and they paid off the doctor. Then, a man in a military dress uniform walks in and confronts her.
“This poor girl, no family, barely in her twenties, hair half-white, looks forty.”
“Keep her there. She's not done learning.”
“Here's the thing. Grace's fall, we staged it. The knee was never injured. We paid the doctor off, it was supposed to teach you a lesson.”
“Hannah, do you finally see your mistake? Ten years, was that long enough to make you admit you were wrong?”
The episode ends inside the hut with Hannah lying on her sickbed. A man in a military dress uniform stands over her, demanding that she admit she was in the wrong after ten years of isolation. Will Hannah submit to their demands in her final moments, or will she speak out against their cruelty before she dies?
