Ellie, Tobey, and Iris arrive back at Ghost’s base with Daryl Manson. Daryl tells them Mercenary wants him dead for failing again, and now Tobey and Iris are targets too. Tobey grips Norman Ryder’s bat tightly until Daryl tells him that carrying the bat means carrying Norman’s burden. Tobey nearly kills Daryl, but Marc stops him. They need Daryl alive. Daryl explains that Shepard stole the map to Mercenary Island before abandoning everyone. Marc forces Daryl to help track Shepard down, and soon Marc, Ellie, James, and Daryl arrive at the Ares Island docks where Shepard prepares to board a ship leaving the islands. Daryl approaches Shepard alone and warns him Mercenary will kill them both if they don’t get the map back. Shepard calmly admits he burned it. Daryl panics. Without the map, Ghost imprisons him forever, and Mercenary kills him. Then Daryl realizes there could be another copy aboard the ship with the captain. When Shepard turns away, Daryl knocks him out. The four sneak aboard the cargo ship and take down crew members. James finally finds the map—but Shepard recovers and ambushes them. He slams James into the wall and shoots Daryl through the side before aiming his gun at his head. Marc spots an escape route off the ship with the map still in hand, but taking it means leaving Daryl. Ellie reminds Marc that Daryl murdered Norman. Marc hesitates. Then Marc, Ellie, and James escape the ship while Shepard chains Daryl to a pipe below deck. Shepard radios the captain and demands direct coordinates from Mercenary. When the captain asks why, Shepard explains the map is gone, but he has someone Mercenary wants. Back at Ghost’s base, Marc expects relief—but instead finds chaos. While they were gone, Mercenary agents attacked and kidnapped Iris. Tobey sits in silence gripping Norman’s bat while Mitch explains what happened. Marc unfolds the stolen map across the table and stares at the marked island. They know exactly where Mercenary is now. And they’re going to war.
