John, his sons, Django and Sarah travel to Nagadoches, where an old friend of John's could eventually sell them a drill. Alerted by Aaron, her protégé infiltrated in New Babylon, Elizabeth tries to get a head start and organizes an attack. But Django soon thwarts his plans.

Relations between Seymour and his father deteriorated. Django suspects John's son of betraying the community by delivering information to Elizabeth. To find out, Django and John secretly organize two new expeditions. The first will convoy barrels of oil; Seymour will only know of the existence of the second, containing only water. If it is attacked, Seymour will be unmasked.
