Kino realizes that Coyotito has died from one of the shots of the trackers. When Kino returns he doesnвЂ™t hear CoyotitoвЂ™s voice or cry. Kino finds the three trackers and kills them too. In the cave, the trackers imagine that they hear a coyote pup. To avoid further attention, Kino removes his clothing too. They hide in a cave after seeing a group of sheep trackers. Kino and Juana continue to hide during the day, escaping attention and travel night. The next night, they leave for the capital city. Kino and Juana hide at Juan Tomas and his wife, ApoloniaвЂ™s home. To their shock, KinoвЂ™s house destroyed and set on fire.

Their escape plan is jeopardized as his canoe is damaged. While the murder was an act of self-defense, Kino believes that he will be charged for it. He tells her that they must leave their home. Kino kills one of the men as Juana watches from a distance. After a while, few men attack Kino, knocking the pearl from his hand. Kino catches her before she can do that and punishes her. The same night, Juana takes the pearl and tries to throw it into the ocean. Sadly, Kino refuses to listen to her and tells her that he would not let people cheat him. Juana begs Kino to see that the pearl is an evil thing and is putting them in danger. That same night, Kino is attacked by thieves once again. Then he decides to go to the capital city to sell the pearl. Most dealers check the pearl and quote a similar rate. However, when the dealer offers a thousand pesos, Kino thinks the pearl is much more valuable and should get at least fifty thousand pesos. Kino takes his neighbors along with him to sell his pearl. They tell him to give the pearl to the Pope as a gift, including conducting the prayers for his familyвЂ™s souls and sharing the amount with the needy people of La Paz.

Kino dreams about getting married to Juana in a church. Juan Tomas, KinoвЂ™s brother asks him about his plan with the money he would get from the pearl. Sadly, Kino and Juana are not aware of the neighbors and the possible danger to their peaceful life. On another side, KinoвЂ™s neighbors are jealous of his fortune.
