Rick found that Haiti hadn't changed much. A dictator was still in power, police were still killing the poor, but now they were selling the bodies back to their families at high prices. "Body merchants" would visit the media and try to get paid to take them to a dead body. Aristide was expected to return, but no domestic uprising came. Only Clinton could change things. Jimmy Carter came to negotiate a return for Aristide, and the military government organized counter protests by paying people. Rick left with little hope for Haiti.
