Moved, Hlne stops work and leaves her family responsibilities to stay with Nomie throughout her recovery, aiding her as she regains mobility and helping her to communicate since she cant yet speak. When one of the pimps returns to threaten and beat Nomie again into submission, Hlne follows him out of the hospital, knocks him unconscious with a wooden plank, and leaves him for the police to find. ........
