As the survivors begin to ransack the Prime Kronos Facility, taking their weapons and medical supplies, Mitchell approaches Kyle.
Mitchell: We got enough medical supplies from these guys...should last us years....this was the biggest win, yet....
Mitchell extends his hand as Kyle shakes it.
Mitchell: Thank you, Kyle.....me and the people of Midtown Manhattan are in your debt and service.
Walter and Billy arrive with the surrendering soldiers and staff including Barnes and Jackal.
Walter: Found a few doctors and scientists still alive along with some soldiers. What do you want to do?
Shawn: I can point out the sort who were with or against us.....Olivia, she can help...
Kyle: Of course.
Olivia and Shawn point out the loyal staff and soldiers, including Charlie and Mary.
Kyle: Those of you who were with us....you're welcome to come back with us to our home. We'll take you in....and you too, Olivia...
Olivia: Me?
Kyle: Yeah...after all, Shawn trusts you and you did bring me back to life.
Olivia: Yeah, that I did...
Walter: What do want to do with the rest of these assholes?
Kyle: Those of you who were against us...we're not going to kill you...that'd be too easy for you all....except I have a better punishment....you'll be banished into the wasteland.....
Kronos Scientist: Are you fucking insane?! I'd rather die.
Walter cocks his pistol.
Kronos Scientist: On second thought, I'd rather not.
Jackal: This is bullshit, you fucking asshole! We'll die out there.
Kyle: Not my concern how y'all survive and if y'all survive....your medical supplies...your technology...your weapons...your armor...it's ours now...it's the wastelands...only thing you're leaving with are your lives and the clothes on your backs....consider yourselves lucky...now; start walking
All the captured Kronos scientists and Zeus Corps soldiers begin to walk towards the gate before Kyle points at Barnes.
Kyle: Except for you, Barnes! You're coming back with us....as a P.O.W.
Barnes: A prisoner? Like hell. You may as well just kill me.
Nathan: That can be arranged.
Kyle: No....he's coming back whether he likes it or not. He's gonna spend the rest of his life in a cell....wishing I had killed him.
Kyle walks towards the vehicle before Nathan walks up behind him as the two engage in a conversation.
Nathan: are we really doing this? Letting this asshole be our prisoner?
Kyle: It's the right thing to do.
Nathan: No, the right thing to do is to put a bullet in this guys' head.
Kyle: You don't agree, but this is how it has to be-get used to it.
Nathan laughs skeptically.
Nathan: You know that most of our fighters including Shane, Mark and Jenna are dead, right? They died fighting your war to take down Kronos and kill Ryder and Barnes....I thought that was the plan.
Kyle: Plans change...and Ryder's dead. We need to prove we're not like Kronos by sparing our enemies.
Nathan scoffs.
Nathan: Right....you want to take Shawn as your right-hand man....be my guest.
Kyle walks off, before Nathan gives a compelling look. Later, Kyle is seen walking with Shawn.
Shawn: I see why you're not taking Nathan with you....just so you know; I'm close to fucking him up ten times more than you did.
Kyle: Please...do not remind me of that...this is a moment of victory.
Kyle shouts to Ashley.
Kyle: Ashley!
Ashley walks over to Kyle.
Kyle: While Shawn and I look around the base, you keep an eye on things.
Ashley: Me? Why not Nathan?
Kyle: Your brother's got a way of letting shit get out of hand.
Ashley: I mean....
Kyle: If can't do it, I can get Walter, Billy or your sister-
Ashley: I can do it...it's just you're asking me to babysit my big brother.
Kyle: Well, you handled your own today...you didn't run...and you've matured....you're a survivor...you always were...your Dad would be proud of you. All three of you.
Ashley: Thank you, Kyle....that means a lot to hear that....thank you.
James is carrying the damaged and non-functional Mr. Jax with a saddened look, before Cassandra approaches him.
Cassandra: Hey.....you can fix him.
James laugh.
James: Yeah, I could.
Shawn approaches Kyle.
Shawn: My Dad was right....
Kyle: About what?
Shawn: When we were at the orphanage playing the day we picked you up, my dad said we'd serve a better purpose out here...
Kyle: And here we are...your Dad was a good man....a great one....so was Colin...your Uncle did a helluva job raising James.....I never told you how brave Colin was...he would've been proud of you two.
Shawn laughs.
Shawn: Guess it's my job now to make sure the shit-sniffer doesn't get into trouble.
Kyle: That name is never going to die down, huh?
Shawn: No...
Shawn and Kyle laugh.
Meanwhile, Mary is patching up Walter's wounds.
Mary: So I hear you're the tough one? Walter?
Walter: Well, more or less, baby.....for you, I definitely am. Oh, yeah, that big ship on the side sticking out....I did that.
Mary blushes for a moment as Walter laughs. Meanwhile, Nathan approaches the vehicle that Barnes is being contained in.
Nathan: Gentlemen, you mind if I take a grab something out of here real quick?
Drew: Sorry, Mr. Stahl, we have orders from Kyle to guard this vehicle. The Zeus Corps Commander is being held prisoner here. No one's allowed in for the time being till we leave.
Nathan: Oh, right, right...well, maybe just a quick something in this vehicle.....I mean, the guy's handcuffed with one arm.
Mel: Mr. Stahl, no one has access for the time being.....
Nathan: Okay.....
Nathan notices the Drew's' shaved chin.
Nathan: Hey, did you just shave, man? Look's good....
Drew: Yes, Mr. Stahl, just shaved this morning.....clean shave...
Nathan: Clean shave
Nathan nods.
Nathan: nice...
Drew: Yeah, damn near cut myself when I was started...
Nathan: I think you missed a spot...
Drew: Damn it...uh...could you point out where?
Nathan: Sure...
Nathan pulls out his blade and slits Drew's throat as then stabs Vegas Mel in the chest, muffling his screams. Drew bleeds out as Mel dies as Nathan takes the blade out his chest. Nathan enters the vehicle and finds a gagged and bounded Barnes handcuffed. Nathan kneels in front of Barnes, who stares at him. Nathan looks down at the ground moment, before he then repeatedly slaps himself in the face, before cocking his pistol and aims it into Barnes' head. Nathan ponders a moment. Outside, Shawn hands Walter a Zeus Corps assault rifle.
Shawn: this is the last weapon on stack.
Walter: Oh, hell yeah...
Shawn: Yeah, you'll like that....it kicks back a whole lot more than any normal rifle, but it packs one hell of a punch.
Walter: Yeah?
Shawn: Hell yeah.
Kyle arrives.
Kyle: Walter, can you see how Barnes' doin? Make sure he hasn't made a fuss.
Walter: You got it.
Walter walks to the vehicle that Barnes is being contained in.
Walter: Hey, boys...how's our one-armed steroid junkie doin? He being a good boy?
Walter notices the dead bodies of the guards, before he pulls out his pistol and finds the vehicle empty.
Walter: Oh, shit! Fuck no, man! Fuck, man!
Walter runs off to alert the others while Barnes is pushed forward being led by Nathan. After entering the alleyway, Nathan stops Barnes, before removing his bind so he can see.
Nathan: Don't make a noise. (Removes gag) Don't scream.
Barnes: Why the fuck would I scream?!
Nathan pulls out pistol and points it to Barnes' head.
Nathan: Keep your fucking voice down! Okay, your people, your soldiers....do you know where they might be we destroyed the facility?
Barnes: I don't keep tabs on my staff members. Kyle sent them to the wasteland....God knows where....Why the hell would I know where?
Nathan slaps Barnes, knocking him down, before he grabs him.
Nathan: Look, man, I'm your only chance of getting out of here alive.....You go find your group....tell them about how to gain access....you get your revenge....
Barnes: What? Why are you doing this?
Nathan: Because...I.....I'm just- I'm just done with Kyle....This group is fucked. He's taken everything from me....my father and my girlfriend are dead because of him and now.....he's turned my family against me....
Barnes: You want to kill him, don't you?
Nathan: More than you know.
Nathan helps Barnes up.
Nathan: Now, go on....you don't have to long, before they realize you're gone.
Nathan cuts Barnes lose, before Barnes walks toward the gate.
Barnes: Willing to turn on Kyle? On your own sisters? That's cold blooded.....you know, Nathan...you could've saved us a whole lot of trouble....could've told us Kyle and Shawn's' plan...I'll be seeing you again.
Barnes jumps over the Prime Kronos Wall while Nathan vents, having another PTSD moment, before ramming into the wall, breaking his own nose. He then pulls out a knife and slashes his face, looking as if Barnes attacked him. Meanwhile, the bodies of the guard are carried out by Midtown Manhattan medics as Kyle, Walter, Shawn and Mitchell are present.
Kyle: How the fuck did this happen, man?!
Shawn: I have no idea!
James, Sarah, Cassandra, Ashley and Billy join in.
James: What happened?
Kyle: Barnes is missing.
Sarah: What?! How'd that happen?!
Kyle: It's all right. Don't panic. He couldn't have gone far.
Mitchell: I don't see how the hell he broke out! The guy's got one fucking arm.
Kyle: Not to mention, the cuffs are still hooked onto the pole. He must've slipped through em.
Shawn: How can he do that with one fucking arm? Let alone kill two guys.
James: What do we do?
As the group contemplate on what to do, Nathan, who is watching this, tosses away his pistol, before kneeling and after a few moments, calls out Kyle's name.
Nathan: Kyle! Kyle!
Nathan walks up to Kyle, Shawn, James, Sarah, Ashley, Walter, Billy, Cassandra and Mitchell.
Ashley: What happened to you?
Nathan: It's Barnes! He's armed! He took my gun!
Sarah: Are you okay?!
Billy: What the hell happened?
Nathan: I saw the whole thing! He broke out and shot those two men. I tried to chase him down, but the bastard jumped me and now he's got my gun! We gotta go get him, Kyle!
Kyle: Agreed.
Kyle speaks to Mitchell and Walter.
Kyle: Okay, Mitchell, Walter, get everyone into to the trucks.
Kyle speaks to James and Shawn.
Kyle: Shawn, James, you come with us.
Nathan: Walter, I'm going to need your gun.
Billy: We should consider this. Letting him go. Wasn't that the plan?
Kyle: No, the plan was to bring him back as a prisoner, not let him lose with a gun so he can kill someone else.
Ashley: Guys, you don't know what can happen.
Nathan approaches Walter, who hands Nathan his pistol.
Kyle: Keep everyone safe. If we're not back in an hour, head back to Midtown Manhattan. Get more of our boys!
Shawn and James arm their weapons, before everyone else heads back to their vehicles. Kyle, Nathan, Shawn and James begin their search for Barnes.
Nathan: I saw him head out to the wasteland south, before I blacked out.
Kyle: He couldn't have gotten too far. He's injured, bleeding out, exhausted...
James: and armed.
Shawn: So are we, but only we have the upper hand.
Kyle: You got anything, Shawn?
Shawn: No...no blood trails. Bloody footprints. Nothing.
Nathan: Well, there's no use in tracking him, okay? We just need to split up. It'll go by much faster. We chase him down. Easy.
Shawn: This guy's got one amputated arm and was handcuffed. You tellin me he broke out of watched truck, shot two of our guys and beat the hell out of you just like that?
Nathan: You trying to say somethin, Shawn?
Shawn: Just doesn't make much sense.
Nathan: Yeah, well, I said the truth.
Kyle: Okay, enough.
Kyle speaks to Shawn.
Kyle: Shawn, you and your brother start heading out the left flank. Nathan and I will get a better view on the roof.
Shawn: Got it.
Kyle: Remember; Barnes is not the only one we need to worry about. Keep an eye out for each other.
Meanwhile, Cassandra, Walter and Sarah are seen waiting by their vehicles while Ashley is looking out. Kyle and Nathan are seen walking upstairs to the roof of the Prime Kronos Tower. Nathan tends to his broken nose and cut.
Kyle: that looks bad, man.
Nathan: I'll be fine....
Kyle: How'd he do it?
Nathan: Do what?
Kyle: How did he break your nose and cut you with just one arm? One fist? He doesn't have a lot of strength.
Nathan: Guess he just got lucky....you don't need to worry about me.
Shawn and James continue searching for Barnes, but also have no luck. In the tower, Nathan stops and looks back at Kyle, who gives a look of concern. Shawn and James continue searching but find a blood mark on the wall.
Shawn: looks like this is how Barnes broke Nathans' nose....wait....this didn't kill him though.
James: what do mean?
Shawn: Barnes has the strength of ten men....with his strength, he could've killed Nathan....it looks like as if it was self-inflicted.
Kyle and Nathan continue walking up to the roof, before the two stop.
Kyle: Do you feel right? You think we'll be able to spot him? Sun's going down and we won't have the advantage to spot him long.
Nathan: Yeah...this is right....this is right...
Kyle: so he beat you up and took your gun, did he?
Nathan: Yeah, it's a shame. My-my dad gave me that gun...Barnes is going to wish he'd kill us when we find him.
Kyle: (suspicious tone) hmm.... I guess so....
Nathan: Let's go. C'mon.....find this bastard, "buddy".
Billy and Ashley are inspecting the bodies of the two dead Midtown Manhattan survivors.
Billy: Hmm...that's weird...
Ashley: What?
Billy: Their throats were slit....and your brother said that they were shot....
Ashley: Maybe, he shot them quietly.
Billy: no...we don't have any silencers and there's no bullet wounds on their bodies.....
Billy gives a suspicious look while Kyle and Nathan finally reach the roof.
Kyle: You said he hit you hard with his bare hand?
Nathan: Yeah, that's what I said.
Kyle: He punched you inside or outside the truck?
Nathan: Inside.
Kyle: Inside....huh....it's just that...the door was shut when Walter came by...so I can't help putting my mind on how Barnes forced a door open when he had him chained...also, you said he shot those men....but their throats were slit....the door was shut then...so he couldn't gotten out without some help.
Nathan: Yeah, I saw that too.
Kyle stops as Nathan puts his hand on his pistol, before Kyle places his pistol in his holster and begins to laugh.
Kyle: I am a fucking idiot.
Nathan: Yeah, that we agree on.....you're not a complete idiot, I'll give you that....caught on faster than I thought.
Kyle: Could you at least have the dignity that's left to call it what it is; betrayal...deceit.....murder...
Nathan takes out his pistol, before Kyle turns and faces Nathan.
Kyle: You really think if you go back to Midtown Manhattan without me or Barnes-
The two men cautiously walk in circles.
Nathan: Shut the fuck up, man! I mean it!
Kyle: You really think that anyone will believe whatever fucking bullshit fairytale you plot?!
Nathan: That's the thing it's not a fairytale plot. I saw Barnes take you down....I tried to stop him....but he ran....
Kyle: you let him go, didn't you? you've put your family and the entire city in danger....
Nathan: It won't be easy, but my sister....she'll get over you.....
Kyle: Is that what this is about? Is this about Sarah....or is this about Nora? Man, I did everything I could to make sure she stayed alive....we both did....but things' happen...
Nathan: If you were dead before, she'd still be alive..
Kyle: What do you think she'd say if she saw you like this?
Nathan: She'd be alive!
Kyle: Her death doesn't justify what you've done...what you did to Zed....to Beth.....to Sarah....Why? Why, man? I thought we had talked about this. Settled this shit out.
Nathan laughs.
Nathan: we tried to fucking kill each other like a bunch of school boys, man. What'd you think was going to happen after the war, huh? You're going to say you're sorry? I'm going to say I'm sorry? Next thing, you know, we sing a song about how we're close best friends again forever and we skip into the flowers.....Brother, that's only in the movies and this isn't a movie....you humiliated me and beat me in front of my family! You got my girlfriend killed! You let that piece of shit, Shawn, into my group! Hell, man, you were in his place months ago! You and him have no place here in this group....these people...my sisters...they follow me....you think you're some guardian angel, but you're not....it should've been me to lead this win! Not you! Me, goddamn it! If I had lead this victory, Jenna, Shane, Mark...all the people we lost....we'd win in a heartbeat...without losses.
Kyle: So that's it, huh? You going to shoot me down in cold blood? Sham your father's memory? Beat up Sarah when she tries to be with someone who has a bad past, but a good heart?! Be the positive, tough leader? You won't be called a leader....you'll be called a goddamned false prophet ....that life will be nothing...Nothing, but a fucking phase...an insult to your family name and to who your father was....You won't be able to live with yourself.....hell, you could barely live with what happened to Nora...what you did to Zed....what happened with Beth....
Nathan: you've got some balls to talk about how I can live! You have no fucking idea what I've lived with what I can do. The things I've done to survive....I lost my mother. My father. Nora! At least, I have something to live for my sisters! You don't have shit! Matter fact, you want to see what I can do? What about you? Let's see what type of man you are.
Nathan puts his pistol back in his holster and raises his hands.
Nathan: C'mon, man. I'll give you thirty seconds free. Let's see what type of man you are. Pull out your gun. Let's have a draw. Put a bullet through my fucking skull. Right here!
Kyle: No, I won't.
Nathan: What's that?
Kyle: I won't do it.
Nathan: What? c'mon, Kyle. I thought there weren't any good guys anymore. Those are your exact words.
Kyle: I was wrong.....
Nathan: The great Kyle Desipich admitting he was wrong?
Kyle: Yeah....I was wrong.....there are still a few good people in this world. People who manage to keep their sanity.....who still believe....in hope....your sister taught me that....
Nathan: In what? God?..... As far as I am concerned, there is no God in my eyes....not anymore...He didn't take you, or me or anyone else left on this fucking planet up to heaven when everything went to shit.....well, that's also the weak people like you. You can't do what I've done. I'm a better leader than you, Kyle! I'm a better leader. I can make the decisions you can't....I'll fight for them, when you couldn't. You couldn't save my Dad or Jacob...Bart....; you couldn't save Dante or Colin....Nora died because of you....you're not getting my family killed...you're not good enough for Sarah....you're just not....everything before Cratersville was going so perfect! So perfect! But then you show up and turn everything into a clusterfuck! Destroyed everything!...I should've killed you in the City of the Damned....right then and there.....I'm going to ask you some questions....answer them truthfully.....Were you part of the Zeus Corps Military?
Kyle: Yes....
Nathan: Are you in love with my sister?
Kyle: Yes....
Nathan: Last question....did you sleep with my sister?
Kyle: No...
Nathan pulls out pistol and aims it at Kyle.
Nathan: Don't fuck with me! I see it in your face..... One last time; did you sleep with Sarah?
A few moments of hesitation.
Kyle: Yes....let me ask you something and answer me truthfully.... If you can make the hard decisions that this group can't, why didn't kill Nora yourself that day? Huh? Put her out of her misery yourself? Why couldn't you pull the trigger back then? Answer me that!
A moment.
Nathan: I couldn't.....
Nathan tears up.
Nathan: I couldn't.....I loved her, Kyle.....I fucking loved her....It should've been me....
Kyle: Last question; do you love your sisters?
Nathan: Of course...I'd be willing to die for my sisters!
Kyle: Bullshit....if that were true, we wouldn't be standing here right now.....Sarah made her choice and that's fair.
Nathan: Life isn't fair! thought we could be un-fucked up men in a very fucked up time! You were dead wrong! The world is a fucked up place.....it is cruel...and it takes life....both innocent and guilty.
Nathan aims the pistol at Kyle's head.
Nathan: Kyle....I'm sorry, but I have nothing left....No family, no friends, no girlfriend, no fucking respect! Nothing! This world is all I have! You're not fit for this world! You're good enough for my sister! You're just not! I can make it perfect again for me and my sisters....I can....I just have to kill you....what can you do? You're not fit for this world.....therefore, you have to die.
Kyle: I'm sorry, Nathan....because your sister taught me something else.
Nathan: What? Love never dies?
Kyle: No... I'm not ready to die.
Kyle smacks the pistol away, before punching Nathan. The two pull out their machetes and collide blades, before they disarm each other. Kyle punches Nathan in the ribs twice and then the face. Nathan then knees Kyle in the stomach and pushes him back. Nathan then punches Kyle in the face twice before backhanding him, but Kyle grabs Nathan, causing to fall in the lower floor. At their vehicles, Sarah, Walter, Cassandra and Mitchell are seen waiting.
Mitchell: Where the hell did Billy and Ashley go?
Cassandra: I don't know, but I can't contact Nathan or Kyle....
Walter: They'll be okay...they all will.....
Walter talks into his radio.
Walter: Nathan.....you around, man? Yo, Ashley and Billy are gone...we think they're going to help search for Barnes too.....Kyle...Nathan...Talk to me...
Sarah stands up and grabs a pistol, before Walter stands up.
Walter: What the hell are you doing?
Sarah: I'm not going to sit here and wait to hear that Kyle; my brother or sister has been killed by this asshole...I'm going out there!
Cassandra: Sarah! Wait! It's dangerous!
Sarah: I'll be fine!
Sarah leaves the room as Walter chases after her.
Walter: Sarah! Goddamn it!
At the rooftop of the Prime Kronos Tower, Kyle and Nathan continue their fight with Kyle blocking Nathan's strikes with the sheet metal.
Nathan: You take stole my father's trust!
Nathan takes a swing at Kyle.
Nathan: You get my girlfriend killed!
Nathan takes a swing at Kyle.
Nathan: You judge my leadership!
Nathan swings at Kyle, who blocks with the sheet metal.
Nathan: You fuck my sister behind my back! Turned my family...against me!
Kyle: You did that yourself! I trusted you!
Kyle blocks a strike.
Nathan: You're a brother to that soldier asshole!
Nathan swings at Kyle.
Nathan: I...fight for Cratersville! For my family! Gave them hope...Gave them freedom!
Nathan swings at Kyle with the pip as he blocks with the sheet metal.
Kyle: Killing Zed? Hurting Sarah? Getting Beth killed? You don't fight for us! You fight for yourself! You don't even care about your sisters!
Nathan: FUCK YOU!
Nathan lets out an annoyed grunt and kicks Kyle back, before Nathan continues to swing savagely as Kyle continues to block.
Nathan: If you were dead, Nora would still be alive!
Kyle: If Nora was still alive, she'd be afraid of you! She'd be disgusted of the monster you've become! You ask me; she's better off dead.
Nathan disarms Kyle, knocking the sheet metal away. After tense pause, Nathan prepares to strike Kyle, but he then slams his fists into Nathan's ribs. Nathan swings but Kyle grabs the pipe and punches Nathan before knocking the pipe into his stomach. Nathan then punches at Kyle, who dodges and blocks. Kyle then punches Nathan back. Kyle picks up the pipe and walks towards Nathan, preparing to strike, but stops himself.
Kyle: Stop this, Nathan! Look around! Look at we've accomplished today! Together! That's how we survive!
Kyle tosses the pipe away.
Kyle: Your sisters aren't alive because of you or me...they're alive because of us! All of us! Yes; we couldn't save Nora or Colin or Dante...or anyone else we've lost, but we can save more....we've given the world a chance to prove that we can live without Kronos....
Kyle offers hand to Nathan.
Kyle: You are my brother, Nathan...
Nathan notices a machete under a pile of wood, before he seemingly takes Kyles' hand, but then slices Kyles' knee, causing him to scream in pain and fall to the ground. Nathan stands up, clutching his machete.
Nathan: Last year, I lost over two-hundred people in the blink of an eye....and you and everyone in this group....just told them to go fuck themselves....What the fuck do you expect, Kyle? You took my life...took my family from me...humiliated me in front of my sisters...what did you think I was going to do? Let that go? You corrupted my sisters...and then put your hands on one of them.... You are not my brother.
Kyle: Sarah will never forgive you if you do this.
Nathan: Yeah...well, like I said, maybe she'll get over it...I'll just have to kill her if she doesn't...Goodbye, Kyle Desipich.
Nathan prepares to execute Kyle, but is suddenly shot in the back by Billy, who approaches the wounded Kyle and Nathan with his gun aimed at Nathan.
Billy: That's enough, Nathan!
On the ground, the gunshot on the helipad is heard by Sarah and Walter.
Walter: You hear that?
Sarah: Yeah. Sounds like it came from up there. Come on!
Sarah and Walter move into the helipad building, before Walter looks back to notice Barnes hopping the fence.
Walter: What?
Sarah: Walter! Come on!
On the helipad, Billy aims his gun at Nathan.
Nathan: What? Me? He tried to kill me, Billy....he led me to the roof....he-
Billy: Save it! I heard you.....you are out of line!
Nathan attempts to attack, but Billy knocks Nathan out with a punch, before he puts his pistol away and helps Kyle up.
Billy: You okay, son?
Kyle: Yeah...what do we do about Nathan?
Billy: Well...eventually, everyone will know about what he's done....
Kyle prepares to speak, but behind him, Nathan is gathering his strength and grabs his pistol as Billy notices this and pushes Kyle out of the way, resulting in Nathan shooting Billy in the torso, before finally the head. Kyle watches in horror as Billy falls dead, before giving an angry look and charging at Nathan, who maneuvers, knocking Kyle to the side. Nathan aims his pistol at Kyle.
Nathan: You see what you're making me do, man?! Now, I've had to kill one of our own, because of you! Don't you see it, Kyle?! You have to die in order for everyone to live.
Ashley: Nathan? Wh-what have you done?
Nathan turns to notice a horrified and tearful Ashley standing behind him, before Nathan walks towards Ashley.
Nathan: Ashley.....you know; you shouldn't be here. You-
Ashley aims her pistol at Nathan, giving him a shocked look.
Nathan: What are you doing?
Ashley: Stay back....
Nathan: Ashley....you-you-you don't understand...It was Kyle...he-
Ashley: No...it's not him...it's you, Nathan....you say Kyle is dangerous, but you're dangerous.....you just murdered Billy...I saw it....
Nathan: He's destroyed our family....just put-put the gun down, okay? It's not what it seems.
Ashley: No, it is! He's not destroying this family....you are.... you're a fucking monster..
Nathan walks towards Ashley.
Nathan: I-I'm a monster?
Ashley: I said stay back!
Nathan: Well, if you feel like I'm dangerous.....that I'm a monster...then pull the trigger.
Nathan walks up to Ashley until the tip of Ashley's barrel touches his chest.
Ashley: Nathan, please....don't make me do this...
Nathan: You've had training.....you're one hell of a shot....(tear rolls down Nathans' face) so do it...please...I know you can....do it!
After some hesitation, Ashley pulls the trigger, but the gun does not go off, revealing the safety on the pistol is still on.
Nathan laughs.
Nathan: Safety first....still learning...
Nathan smacks the gun away, before grabbing Ashley.
Nathan: My youngest sister.....I've protected you...I've loved you....I took care of you...and you're going to try to fucking shoot me?!
Nathan smacks Ashley down.
Ashley: Nathan...please...stop this! We're family! Think, Nathan! What would our parents or Nora think of what you've become?!
Nathan: They'd fucking adore the man I've become! If I was like this from the start, they'd be alive! What it is now?! You're going to fucking beg? Huh? Ashley? he...has done nothing but bring chaos and death...to our fucking family! and if you're going to try and kill your own flesh and blood, then you just don't get it....if I can't protect you.....then you are just as good as dead!
Nathan prepares to shoot Ashley until Nathan is suddenly impaled through the chest with the machete held by Kyle, shocking Ashley as Nathan coughs up blood and drops his pistol in shock. Kyle and Nathan make eye contact.
Nathan: Goddamn you...Kyle Desipich....
Kyle takes the machete blade out of Nathan, who then tumbles to the side of the building and crashes through a building with a glass roof, in which the impact kills Nathan. His corpse then lands on a table that breaks down. Kyle yells out in regret and anger while Ashley is in shock, before Kyle turns and walks over to a traumatized Ashley.
Kyle: Hey...Ashley....hey...look at me...
Kyle gently touches Ashley's' face as the two make eye contact.
Kyle: Are you okay?
Ashley suddenly begins to break down at the loss of her brother, before Kyle gives a saddened look and comforts Ashley, hugging her head into his chest.
Kyle: Shh...it's okay....it's okay...I'm sorry.....goddamn it....I'm so sorry, Ashley...
Meanwhile, Sarah and Walter arrive in the cafeteria to find Nathan's corpse as Sarah breaks down. Sarah cries.
Sarah: No! No! Nathan! Nathan!
Walter is saddened by the loss of Nathan, before he comforts Sarah. Shawn and James arrive on the rooftop to find Billy's corpse and Kyle comforting Ashley. James is visibly saddened at the loss of Billy.
James: Billy....
Shawn: What the hell happened?
Ashley: Barnes attacked us.....He killed Nathan and Billy...
Kyle: Yeah.....that's what happened....
Kyle looks down at Nathan corpse.
Kyle: That's what happened.
