Mercenary agents raid Ghost Headquarters searching for Daryl Manson. Marc tries to stop them but is warned Ghost has no authority over Mercenary operations. Daryl is taken before Centurion at a hidden Mercenary compound. Centurion tells him losing the Hunters broke his contract with Mercenary. Now he has one chance to make up for it: lead a smaller Hunter squad and track down Killshot. Mercenary knows Tobey Anderson is searching for a female test subject hidden somewhere in the islands, and they cannot allow her to escape. With no choice, Daryl agrees. Meanwhile Eugene Shepard realizes Wraith is collapsing. Mercenary has cut funding, the Hunters are gone, and the government is beginning to question him. Shepard secretly decides to abandon Wraith and disappear before Ghost or Mercenary can kill him. Jack learns Shepard is running and contacts Norman Ryder directly. Jack wants Shepard dead before he can reach Mercenary. Norman hates Jack, but agrees to help because Shepard is too dangerous to leave alive. The film becomes a manhunt across Ares Island as Norman and the Hunters track Shepard through ruined Wraith outposts and abandoned bunkers. At the same time Marc contacts Jack, warning him Mercenary is taking direct control of the islands. Jack refuses peace, telling Marc there will never be common ground between Ghost and Wraith. Norman finally corners Shepard inside a destroyed communications station. They fight brutally and Shepard barely wins, but during the confrontation he reveals something important: Daryl Manson knows the location of the new Mercenary Island. Shepard plans to find Daryl and work directly for Mercenary. Shepard escapes wounded. Norman calls Marc and tells him the truth—Mercenary abandoned Wraith, Shepard has gone rogue, and Jack is now alone. The movie ends at Ghost Headquarters. Marc lowers the phone as James Rain walks into the room carrying an unconscious Mitch Marston. Exhausted and bloodied, James looks at Marc and says, “Help is coming.”
