Montag watches the Hound track him through people's windows, and he heads for the river, as to prevent the hound from catching his scent. He washes up on the countryside, and he encounters a circle of homeless men. They invite him over and give him some clear liquid, which they say will disguise his scent. On the TV, they see that the police found a scapegoat, and the Hound pounces on an innocent man walking alone, who they claim is Montag.
Bradbury uses many dramatic pauses to heighten the tension during the chase. Montag ponders his life, and thinks of it as having a different purpose now. In the countryside, Montag becomes a whole person for the first time.
