Just as John comes into the hallway, the shift-changes. The hall fills with hundreds of Delta twins who line up when an Alpha calls out that it is soma distribution time. John is suddenly overwhelmed with anger, and thinks that soma caused Linda's death. He shouts that soma is poison, and tells the Deltas to throw it away. Just the idea terrifies and angers the Deltas.Bernard and Helmholtz get a phone call telling them what the Savage is doing. They hurry to the hospital. They arrive just as the Savage starts dropping somaout the window, causing the Deltas to riot. Helmholtz shouts "Men at last!" and runs to help the Savage. The two fight off the Deltas and throw more soma out the window.When the police arrive, they spray somavapor into the air to quiet the Deltas. The police take Helmholtz and the Savage into custody. Bernard tries to slip away, but the police take him too.

Then there was Helmholtz who wanted to read and even write a book but he couldn't. John was the only one who had tried to change the way the society was...
