Miles lands the helicopter four miles from the Tower, On his groups hike to the entrance of the Tower, they run into Aaron and Raven. Aaron tells Miles that there is a way into the Tower, but they have to find a way around Monroe's troops. Inside the Tower, Randall shows Monroe the control room, where the U.S. government's satellites still have live feeds of the entire planet. According to Randall, the Tower has the capacity to do anything and is impervious to everything, including the Blackout. However, they first need to go to Level 12. Rachel is shocked when Randall reveals this, but Monroe and his troops enter the elevator, ready to witness the entirety of the Tower's potential. Monroe and his group take the elevator to Level 12, but it stops at Level 11. Monroe's men step out of the elevator, but an alarm sounds and Jenkin's men, using superior coil gun weaponry, begin to take down Monroe's men.

Outside, Tom Neville, Jason, Danny and Tris take out the Militia encampment's power source with grenades.

However, only Miles, Raven, Octavia and Aaron can get in, leaving Jason, Danny, Tris and Neville outside when the door shuts. The Militia captures Jason, Tris, Danny and Neville, but they manage to plot a revolt with the assistance of General Jeremy, they meet during interrogation. At the Tower, Rachel tells Monroe that he killed her husband and Ben's death was his fault, but Monroe tells her that he doesn't know how he got out of control and reveals to Rachel that he also has a son, too.
