Mengambil tempat dengan pancaragam dan dua ahli protagonists Christian (Josh Boswell) dan Gloria (Lisa Stelly) in a white room. The police or army arrive outside the room and open fire through the window. As bullets rain through the room, the band continues playing. Gloria picks up the phone and throws it into a fish tank. As the bullets continue to fly and tear apart the room, Christian and Gloria walk toward each other, unharmed by the bullets. They embrace and kiss, recreating the 21st Century Breakdown cover art.
