- Tory is furious with Richard for shooting off all his flares and kicks him out of their treehouse on the desert island. Richard declares war, attacks Tory with his ingenious pineapple cannon and cuts off his water supply. Tory fights back, building a ballista and bombarding Richard in his foxhole with fruit missiles. As the Escapists strive for more elaborate weapons to win victory, possession of Clarkson becomes the ultimate objective.
- Its war between Tory and Richard. Tory has thrown Richard out of the beach house and Richard is trying to get back in. Tory throws all of Richard's stuff out. He even burns Richard's precious auto-biographies. Richard makes his base near the containers. He decides to cut off the water supply to the water wheel. He creates an air cannon with a fire extinguisher and uses that to fire a pineapple a distance of 100 feet to attack the water supply. The valve on extinguishers is designed to bleed the air out slowly, so Richard switches it to a different valve, which opens at full throttle and closes equally quickly to eject air at a high pressure. Hammond attaches a barrel to the extinguisher by fashioning one out of the heat exchanger they salvaged from the boat. He uses a bicycle pump to pressurize the extinguisher. And finally attaches a trigger.
The pump will put 5 bars of pressure into the extinguisher. When released, it will produce 900 pounds of force in the barrel, behind the pineapple. to test the cannon, Richard loads a pineapple into the cannon. The cannon works, but its very heavy and difficult for Richard to point it accurately. resetting the cannon is a job in itself and takes a few minutes. Tory is impressed with the air cannon and even comes down to see it while Richard is charging it with the pump.. But then Richard starts attacking the water supply to the water wheel. He hits the water trough and it starts leaking, due to which the water supply to the wheel reduces and it stops. Then Richard starts attacking Tory and the beach house.
Tory decides to mount an attack on Richard's dummy, which he has named Clarkson. This dummy is very dear to Richard, who even took it on the boat when they tried to leave the island. While Richard is sleeping, Tory steals Clarkson and Richard's phone. The next morning, with Clarkson by his side, Tory decides to create a ballista, a greco-roman artillery, that gets its power by twisting a rope really tight and then releasing it suddenly. It throws stuff for miles. The next morning Richard finds Clarkson missing and is enraged.
Tory starts filming his own videos on Richard's phone. Tory has created his ballista. Tory has used floorboards and railings from the house to erect the ballista. Tory starts raining fruits on Richard's fox hole. But even the ballista is not rapid fire and takes time to load, giving time to the rivals to catch up. In retaliation, Richard steals Tory's screw tank. Tory is running out of fresh water and so, he fashion a crude urine distillery. It wont taste like regular water, but it would a lot better than drinking straight piss.
Richard decides to attack the beach house, with a souped up screw tank, which was fortified. The fruit from the ballista simply bounce over the armored screw tank. The air cannon has been improved, so it fires a 4 shot burst now. And with it being close to the beach house, it does some real damage with the pineapples. Richard then has to retreat to get more pineapples. Tory decides to gas out Richard from the screw tank. Its an classic anti-tank move. Tory builds a vortex cannon. He makes dry chilli powder from hot chilli peppers. He loads them into his vortex cannon and plans to fire it into Richard's face. He uses the hairspray from Richard's room as a propellant for his cannon. The vortex cannon is shaped like a cone. It is connected to a battery, which powers a spark plug. It has a mixing chamber for hairspray and oxygen, ignited by the spark plug. This shoots the mixture of gases in a vortex towards the enemy. The vortex is strong enough to carry bits of chilli.
As Richard returns in the screw tank, Tory is ready. It works, as Richard is blinded and cant see what he is doing. But in that, he drives the screw tank right into the water wheel, which comes unhinged and falls on the screw tank. Richard somehow survives. Tory is worried that Richard is dead, and relieved when he finds him alive. Richard is furious that Tory used chemical warfare on him. They both run for Clarkson, trip the Anti-intruder system and get scooped up the nets. Vultures are flying overhead.
