John offers to go and get water, but the Senator tells him they have already talked about it and he doesn't want to lose anyone else. A man runs up to the Senator with an empty bucket and tells the Senator there isn't anymore water in the water tanks. The Senator tells a gathering crowd they must wait, but John tells him the ozone layer destroyed during the nuclear war won't return.

John tells the Water Truck Escort Drivers to cover them as they try to escape. A Water Tank Escort lights a fuse and drops explosive barrels in the path of the Exterminators. The attack continues as both Water Escorts and members of The Exterminators are killed and a Water Truck Escort Driver veers into an Exterminator car and crushes it. An Exterminator climbs onto the truck and then shoot and kills the Water Truck Escort Driver. John gives Tommy the map to the water and tells him to stay hidden.
