When his strengths are back he starts planning his own escape and he digs below his bed. He quits on digging and he hears a voice calling him. The voice was from a priest called Farria.

The priest tells him for him not to continue digging that he'll go to his jail. Dantès really happy obeys him and when the days pass by he becomes nervous until he hears Farria's voice.
