Following her trail, he ends up in New Babylon, a city at the bottom of a crater where all outsiders are welcome and all live an equal life in freedom. Here he finds his now 20-year-old daughter Sarah, who is about to marry John Ellis, the founder of New Babylon. Sarah believes her father was to blame for the massacre that killed her family while Django was at war. She demands that he leave town immediately.
