Marc, James, Ellie, Clint, Ken, Darren, Mitch, and Tobey arrive on Mercenary Island by jet. Missiles streak from hidden launchers. Their jet is torn apart and crashes into the sea. They wash ashore on a beach. Soldiers emerge lead by Centurion. Ghost is forced to their knees. Centurion tells Marc to stay quiet before shooting Darren in the head. He drags Ken forward and forces his head underwater. Marc struggles against his restraints as Ken fights, but Centurion smiles. Ken stops moving. Centurion announces there are two more open graves and offers Ghost the chance to choose who dies next. Nobody speaks. Marc demands to be killed instead. Centurion refuses, saying this is Marc's punishment. Ellie volunteers. James and Marc scream for her not to, but Centurion grabs her and snaps her neck before throwing her body into the sand. James swears he'll kill Centurion. Centurion kneels beside him and tears away his lower jaw before crushing his skull beneath his boot. The beach falls silent. Centurion tells the survivors they are welcome to Mercenary Island, but none of them will leave alive. He prepares to continue when gunfire erupts from the treeline. In the confusion, Marc, Clint, Mitch, and Tobey escape into the jungle. They arrive at an isolated hut deep within the forest. For the first time since Bo's death, Marc breaks down completely. Clint and Mitch sit silently while Tobey stares at Norman's bat, unable to process everything they have lost. The door opens. A stranger introduces himself as Nick Cain. Nick explains that he has been hiding from Mercenary for years and was responsible for the attack on Centurion's men. He knows exactly who Ghost is, and he knows why they came. His brother was taken by Mercenary and is being held somewhere on the island. Tobey says maybe Iris is where Nick's brother is. Marc wipes away his tears and stands. Marc tells him they'll help find his brother, but only if Nick helps them destroy Mercenary once and for all. Nick nods.
