As Templar predicts a grim future filled with invasions and concentration camps, the couple's worries are interrupted by a fire in the distance. Rushing to the scene, Templar bravely enters the burning building, but is unable to save a man trapped inside. They later discover that the occupant is a war profiteer poised to benefit from the impending conflict.
