In the next silo over, Jerry, a psychotic maniac, has women of his own. Paul has made the girls very comfortable as he lies and tells the ones with him that the world was hit by a large meteorite and has ended. Jerry just chains them to the walls. As Paul keeps his lies alive, he allows them to move about and thinks all is well until Katrina (on level 7) seems to have mental issues. Suzanne (on level 3) enjoys taunting her and Ann (on level 5) is more than content to just make what life they have, the best it can be. After Paul and Suzanne venture outside in latex hazmat suits, Paul fakes the shooting of Jerry to make Suzanne believe that all people outside are now half brain dead as they wander about in a stupor. Suzanne returns to the silo in a panic only to find that Katrina has killed Ann and now turns her anger to Suzanne. After defeating Katrina and escaping the silo, Suzanne finds Paul in a house that has cable TV and the news shows that she is missing and presumed kidnapped. Jerry keeps her from killing Paul with a knife and she is quickly drugged, but they are unsure if she will remember the event.
