Amir understands why Baba used to give presents to Hassan. Amir thinks that he is responsible for Hassan's death. If he wouldn't have driven Hassan and Ali out of the house, then they would be in America.Amir finds Rahim Khan praying, and he tells him that he will go to Kabul and find Sohrab. Amir takes the help of a man named Farid to drive him to Kabul.
Amir has to wear a fake beard as beards are required for men under Taliban law.In Afghanistan, he starts to see warfare and poverty. He feels like a tourist in his own country. Farid points to an old man dressed in rags and says that this is the real Afghanistan, and Amir has always been a tourist. Farid thinks that Amir is returning to sell off his father’s land and then go back to America. They reach Jalalabad that night and stay with Farid’s brotherWahid. The family is poor. Wahid asks Amir why he has returned to Afghanistan, but Farid interrupts and says sneeringly that Amir is probably there to sell his land and bring the money back to America. But then Amir explains that he is here to find the son of his illegitimate half-brother and bring him back to Peshawar to be taken care for. Wahid’s wife serves dinner to Amir and Farid. Wahid says that he and his family ate earlier, so they do not join the guests. As he eats, Amir notices Wahid’s three young sons staring at his wristwatch. He gives them the watch as a present, but they quickly lose interest in it.When they reach Kabul, Amir does not even recognize it as his old home.
That night he dreams that he executed Hassan.
He finds Farid arguing for food. He finds out that the children weren't staring at his watch but his food.He puts some money under the mattress. They find beggars all around and there were no trees. There are no more kites, and the streets smell like diesel instead of lamb kabob.
A Taliban truck approaches with a few bearded men having guns.He stares at the truck so Farid warns him. Amir also warns him. When he talks to the beggar, he finds out that the beggar was also a teacher in the university like his mother.
Amir and Farid find the new orphanage where Sohrab is supposed to be. The director, Zaman, first pretends he has never seen Sohrab. Only after Amir explains that he is Sohrab’s half-uncle and reveals some defining details about Sohrab does Zaman says Sohrab is no longer there, and it may be too late for him.The Taliban had taken the child.
They reach Baba's house in Kabul.The trees were leafless. The paint was peeling out. The old pomegranate tree was still there with something carved on it 'Amir and Hassan. The sultans of Kabul.'
It was time to go.
That night Fad asked him about America. Amir says,"Every home had a TV. Every TV had a remote and you could receive up to 500 channels."
The other day, they reach the Ghazi Stadium. Amir saw the Talibs killing two blindfolded people by throwing stones at them.
They meet the Talibs in Wazir Akbar Street's big house. He sees Sohrab dance. Sohrab looked just like Hassan as this age.
Amir finds out that the Talib official is Assef. When he asks to take Sohrab, he says that he has to fight. Assef puts on his brass knuckles.
Amir gets badly hurt when Sohrab saves him by shooting a slingshot in Assef's eye.
Amir is in the hospital now. He had a lip injury, just like Hassan.
He reads Rahim Khan's note. Rahim Khan said that by saving Sohrab he could redeem himself.
Amir has turned towards redemption. I think that now Amir can redeem himself.The story has turned its path.
