• On the way to a detention facility, Mike's police escort is ambushed and killed by Salient Global troops who proceed to capture Mike. Mike kills his assailants and then unmasks several of the mercenaries, including Bruno. He then deduces that Wade framed him and goes out to clear his name. The FBI soon investigates the scene.

• Wade and his second-in-command Travis Cole dispatch Salient Global mercenaries to Clay's Mountain Cabin in West Virginia.

In the morning, Mike and Clay leave the cabin and give Thompson and Ramirez the coordinates to the cabin so they can acquire evidence that Mike was truly framed after all.

• Clay rescues Leah and her daughter after they are on the verge of being kidnapped by Wade's henchmen. He tells Leah that he is Mike's father and that he regrets abandoning them.
• Ramirez and Thompson head to the Salient Global Facility to confront Wade, but he kills them and orders his men to head to St. Matthew's Hospital so they could finish their mission and kill Trumbull and Mike for good.
• Mike heads to the hospital and gives himself up, but Trumbull orders him to be released as Mike had saved him. Mike orders the hospital to be under lockdown but is later forced to evacuate the hospital as Salient Global had increased the nitrogen and oxygen to unstable levels, which would level the hospital.
• A large gunfight occurs between Salient Global and the Secret Service, with casualties on both sides. During the fight, Wilcox and all Secret Service agents are shot dead and the hospital is leveled.
