It continues to go back and forth between the settings of Kathy and Zeituon. Kathy is worried sick for Zeitoun as the worse of the storm approaches. After Zeitoun moves everything in their house upstairs, he has a phone conversation with Kathy. She tells him that she should come over here and Zeitoun tells her he can't because he has to take care of their house. However, Zeitoun's phone is about to die so they hang up and have their individual settings. Kathy drives the kids around to waste time and is continuously being scolded by her family. She asks if they can take some of Zeitoun's family members in, but her mom says no for some odd reason. Zeituon starts driving around New Orleans in a canoe. He meets his neighbor named Frank and takes him for a ride through the city. They happen to see a lady who is just floating there, Frank and Zeitoun tell her that they will find help where they are going and come back. Luckily, they see some boats with officers on it. They redundantly call for help but the officers do not respond to their cries for help. This does not stop Zeitoun as he heroically saves the lady. He goes around the city trying to help everyone he can and he feels great. After this day, he calls Kathy. She is ecstatic to hear from him and glad he is ok, but she still asks him to come to Baton Rogue. Although Zeitoun knows the city is in bad condition, he refuses and tells Kathy how he has to help the people of the city recover. After that, Zeitoun goes home and finds some pictures of his family and brothers in his household. He is being reminded of when he grew up and when his kids grew up and becomes really happy.
I think it is amazing that Zeitoun is helping the city recover when he is a victim himself. This is a very brave and courageous act to be performed in a time in need for everyone in the city. Zeitoun is obviously a good man and always does whatever is the best for other people. Even though he is slightly worried about his own condition from the storm, that slight scary feeling does not stop him from helping other people in his community.
