Outline

Scott and Stonebridge are stranded in the Alps with the mercenaries in pursuit. Scott knows that the CIA hide weapons caches across Europe, so they find a telephone at the farm of a retired Austrian soldier Oscar (Wolf Kahler) to call Christy Bryant (Stephanie Vogt), a past acquaintance from Vengeance, for the location of the nearest one, at a nearby dam.

After they leave, the mercenaries come across Oscar’s farm and torture him for their location. Scott and Stonebridge arrive at the dam, but the mercenaries arrive soon after. Furthermore, the cache is empty. When they are surrounded, Scott and Stonebridge destroy a part of a dam, killing some mercenaries, and jump into a river, but Scott is shot in the abdomen in the process.

After fighting through more mercenaries, the two make it to a safe house with Bryant. After Scott is treated, he learns that Bryant was paid off by the team to turn them over.

The mercenaries surround the safe house and kill Bryant. Scott and Stonebridge weather the initial assault, but they soon find themselves in a barn, surrounded. Faber offers to spare them if they pay him off.

Instead, Stonebridge kills Faber. The remaining mercenaries attack again, and although they are out-flanked, Scott and Stonebridge fight until the screen fades out.

In the next scene, Stonebridge confronts Ridley, and makes him acknowledge the dogtags of the team members killed (seen are Richmond, Locke, and Scott, though there are more than 3 delivered).

After weaselling an answer that he was just following orders from Whitehall, Stonebridge threatens to kill him, and leaves. The series concludes with Stonebridge seeking out Finn on the open road, with a reveal that Scott is alive and retired from service.

They part ways as friends, but then Stonebridge comes back to join Scott and Finn on their way to Vegas.
