The scientist says that he just saw blackness, and Whitney wonders why he came back. After a moment, Jason's skull shrinks to its normal size. He warns them that they can't take him to a populated area, and tries to get out. Whitney says that Jason needs a lesson in doing what he's told, and Joseph's thugs drag him out. They open the back to show Jason their hostages, and realize that Peggy and Jarvis have escaped.
