Norman Ryder forces Eugene Shepard at gunpoint, demanding he lead him to Tobey Anderson before Daryl’s hunters can reach him first. Shepard insists he doesn’t know the exact location, but Norman doesn’t trust a word he says. Meanwhile, Marc sends Ellie Smith to find Daryl Manson and get the location of the new Mercenary Island before Mercenary disappears again. Elsewhere, Tobey tears through the last Mercenary Outpost inside the United Islands. Tobey fights room to room until he reaches a containment chamber and finds his sister, Iris Anderson, weak but alive after years of imprisonment. As alarms sound, Norman and Shepard arrive at the ruined outpost only to run into Daryl and his remaining hunters. Daryl attacks Norman and frees Shepard. Before Norman can retaliate, Ellie arrives and the four collide inside the burning facility while Tobey and Iris escape through the lower halls. Daryl corners the siblings near the docks and grabs Iris, holding a knife to her throat. Tobey fires a desperate shot that destroys Daryl’s eye. Screaming in rage, Daryl raises his knife to kill Iris—but Norman steps between them. The blade drives deep into Norman’s chest. Everything goes silent. Norman opens his eyes and finds himself staring at Bryce Orwell, the Ghost member Norman murdered years earlier during his darkest days with the Hunters. Norman apologizes for everything he became. Bryce tells him his death was the first step toward Norman becoming someone better. Norman spent years taking lives for power, but now he gives his own life to save someone he doesn’t even know. Back in reality, Ellie catches Daryl before he escapes as Mercenary agents storm the outpost. Daryl tells Ellie Mercenary will kill him for failing again, but they still need him because he knows where Mercenary Island is. Shepard is already gone. Ellie realizes she has no choice. She takes Daryl prisoner while Tobey carries Iris away from the burning outpost as Norman Ryder dies a hero.
