The team regroups at the farmhouse—Marc, Bo, Sasha, Ellie, Norman, Bao, Strider, Diego, Link, and Tommy—worn but alive. Marc lays it out: no more running. It's time to kill Shane Jarvis, end Mercenary, and bring Jack home. He takes Bo, Sasha, Diego, Link, and Bao toward the submarine, leaving Strider, Tommy, and Norman behind to guard Grace. During watch, Strider sees Grace stir from her coma. They feed and patch her up. She whispers something urgent—there are more civilians trapped in their old base. Strider thanks her, nods to Tommy, and they gear up to head there. Meanwhile, Marc’s team infiltrates the Mercenary sub. Agent Gunn is waiting. “Jack’s not here,” he smirks. Link lunges, but Gunn throws him back. Marc raises his gun but lowers it—pointless. Diego, lost in hallucinations, walks forward and stabs Gunn. Gunn doesn’t flinch—he drags the knife through his own gut and into Diego’s chest. Diego drops. The team is surrounded. Back at the farmhouse, the Agent returns with forces. Norman tries to defend Grace, but when overwhelmed, he offers a deal: let him rejoin Mercenary and revive the Hunters. The Agent knocks him out and takes both Norman and Grace. At the old base, Strider and Tommy find nothing… except Shane Jarvis waiting. “Your friends are chasing ghosts,” he says. Before they can react—bags over their heads. War has come. And Mercenary is always a step ahead.
