Dr. Oakes collapses from exhaustion and upon awakening finds out that Nurse Bauer has died from meningitis.
Oakes, suffering from terminal radiation sickness, decides to return to Kansas City to " see my home one last time before I die " while Dr. Hachiya stays behind.
Oakes hitches a ride on an Army National Guard truck, where he witnesses military personnel blindfolding and executing looters.
At his home, he finds the charred remains of his wife's wristwatch and a family huddled in the ruins.
The family silently offers Oakes food, causing him to collapse in despair, as a member of the family comforts him.
