Monsley activated the magnetic cuffs Conan still has on his wrists and ankles. Causing him to have a much more difficult time to catch up to the Barracuda. But he continues to swim to the ship no matter what. Meanwhile Dyce ties Lana to the front of the ship to become scarce against Lepka's attacks. But Lepka's gunboat attacks the Barracuda without warning. Dyce's plan wasn't work so he ordered the ship to turn back. This was a good thing because it gave Conan a second chance in getting to the ship. Lana could sense Conan's presences and managed to set herself free from the ropes. Got onto a barge to escape and finally found Conan at last. Lepka's gunboat caught up with the Barracuda and surrounded Dyce's men. Lepka orders the gunboat to attack the escaping barge which he doesn't know is being driven by Lana. The gunboat blasted the barge to nothing. Dyce revealed to Lepka that he just killed Lana without knowing it. But Jimsy knows that Lana and Conan couldn't possibly be dead. And that they're not. They survived the blast but Conan's magnetic cuffs got stuck in a pillar. He tries all his might to get free but no use. Lana doesn't want him to give up so she goes to the surface and get some air for Conan. She kept doing repeated times till she fainted. This made Conan used more of the strength he has in him. And finally he's free from the magnetic cuffs and brought Lana to the surface. They made it to dry land by morning and discovered a graveyard of tanks from WW3. Lana was tired from the swimming so they went to rest under one of the tanks. Conan found free fruit for Lana to feed on. Later that night Lana could sense her grandfather's presence at the other side of the land. This was good news for Lana. She now knows she'll be reunited with her grandfather.
