    The pilot gives Ethan a backpack with supplies/letter, and tries to fly away. Ethan stands in front of the plane, hoping that the pilot will stop, but at the last minute, he jumps out of the way, as the plane was not stopping. The letter that was given to him was written by his father. It tells Ethan that he has to walk 200km across the desert in 7 days to get to Tunis. If Ethan is on time, he will get a lot of money. This money can be used for anything, and there is a plane ticket for anywhere.

He made him think that he was going to get arthritis.
