RW659 - Heroes Reborn Rewatch E13 - Project Reborn

 

In this weeks episode of The Heroes Reborn Rewatch, Cory and Tom ctrl-alt-del the end of the world as they discuss episodes 13, Project Reborn.

Chapter Thirteen 'Project Reborn':

Volume: One

Written by: Tim Kring & Zach Craley

Directed by: Jon Jones

Original airdate: January 21, 2016

Synopsis: 

As Carlos, Micah, and Jose get Farrah to the hospital, they find it abandoned but Micah uses his powers to get the electricity going again. Carlos uses his army medical training to slowly nurse her back to health with Jose using his power to remove the bullet from her. Soon more people arrive at the hospital in need of medical aid, with Carlos and company staying to help them.

Emily learns that Tommy is trapped in Evernow, with Ren explaining that Miko is the only one that can go into the game. Meanwhile Tommy tries to figure out his prison, an endless maze of repeating corridors. As Dr SciGuy and Erica power up the machines, conduits reach out to Tommy within his prisons and attach themselves to him, forcing him to teleport a large number of people wearing their watches into the future. Afterwards, the cables retract and Tommy is left trying to find a way out. He eventually runs into a double of himself, seemingly caught in a time loop and who is somehow more clueless about the prison than the first smarter Tommy. Smart Tommy tells Clueless Tommy that they can be in two places at once and that their memories exist in this place, and that they need to think about their past and try to find them. Clueless Tommy begins to remember his past when he first saw Claire Bennet revealing her power on tv, with Anne revealing to Tommy that Claire is his birth mother and tells Tommy the truth. Clueless Tommy then  starts remembering more and more from his past, notably his father Hiro. He also sees the memory of the time he was taken to level 5 in Primatech and met his sister, and touched hands which caused a giant pillar of energy to explode into the sky through the building.

Erica and Dr SciGuy leave their lab and discover that the transfer worked with dozens upon dozens of people, including Ren and Emily, having been teleported to the future city of Gateway. Ren and Emily explore the facility and eventually find Ottomo and release him from the Evo machine tables. They wake up the real Miko who has no knowledge of who Ren is. DrSciGuy appears and holds them all at gunpoint but Ottomo comes from behind and kills him. Ottomo explains that Ren risked his life to free her and she is very appreciative. Otomo sends Ren into the game to find Miko in the game and rescue Tommy. Once inside, he finds Miko immediately and they set off on their quest. Eventually they find the prison and Ren removes the sword from the prison, with Miko saying they will meet again. As the video game shuts down, Tommy is freed along with Ren and they are confronted by Erica and her guards. Erica monologues about how this future will cease to exist if he goes back and stops the HELE. Tommy calls himself Nathan and as Erica fires a gun at him, he freezes time, creating a double of himself to go back in time and help Malina while he stays in the future and gets Ren, Otomo, Emily, and his mother, all teleported away to safety.

Back in the present, Phoebe discovers she has been left behind. Quentin, Luke, and Malina arrive at the clock tower and see the first solar flare approaching. Luke forces them to take cover, deciding it is his destiny to stop this flare himself and absorbs the power from the flare, floating up to it and destroying it in a spectacular explosion as he merges with it.

Quentin starts to take Malina to the clock tower, but they run into Phoebe who attacks them, pulling Malina up through the air, threatening to drop her. Quentin pulls out his gun, torn about shooting his sister, telling Phoebe they were used by Erica. Quentin begs her to stop, but she won’t and Quentin shoots her as she backs into a window and falls to her death. Malina falls as well but manages to hold onto the ledge and pull herself back up. 

As the second solar flare approaches, Malina readies herself against it but finds that she can’t stop it. Nathan suddenly appears and the two join hands to try and fight the flare but the power is too erratic, not working. Nathan decides to go back in time to Level 5 and see what happened. He learns that the beam that shot through the building only happened because a technician tried to pull them apart and became a conduit for their power. The man unfortunately died.

Bennet finds himself teleported to that same moment, learning what Nathan saw as well. Nathan appears and explains how he’s been trying to save the world but nothing has worked. Bennet volunteers to be the conduit. As he takes both of the twins’ hands, their power shoots through him  and reaches up to the flare, destroying it. The twins cradle their grandfather as he speaks to them, telling them he’s proud of them before he passes on.

In the future, the other Nathan cuts off Erica’s watch, enters the machine, and starts time again, sending everyone wearing a watch back to the present where they belong, leaving Erica behind in a world that will no longer escort. That Nathan… disappears?

Three months later, Quentin is in prison for reasons, and being interrogated by agents about what happened at Gateway. The agents are unbelieving that Evos would have saved the role without wanting credit, wanting to know who they were. Quentin tells them in a passionate speech that the Evos are all around them and chose to be heroes in that moment. He tells them that when they are needed, they’ll be here, without anyone having to ask them and that is who they are, that they are all of them on their best day.

Carlos continues his fight as El Vengador with Farah at his side and Jose wanting to help them. Emily and Nathan run the Ice Cream Shop, while Malina attends school. Both Nathan and Malina receive a mysterious tarot card, and when Angela is asked about it she tells Malina it’s from her father, who is coming for her and Nathan, and that no one can protect them.

Back-issues:

Michael Iliadis is credited as “trench coat man” (in the ice cream shop) and is the one who is assumed to be Malina and Nathan’s father. However, he could be an agent working for their father as well.

RW658 - Heroes Reborn Rewatch E11-12 - Clone Company

 

In this weeks episode of The Heroes Reborn Rewatch, Cory and Tom transmit their feelings and burn all the trash as they discuss episodes 11 & 12, Send in the Clones and Company Woman.

Chapter Eleven 'Send in the Clones':

Volume: One

Written by: Peter Elkoff

Directed by: Larysa Kondracki

Original airdate: January 7, 2016

Synopsis: 

Malina reasons that since Erica took Tommy, she might have also taken Bennet and so she and Luke stop to gather supplies, most notably a gun, since Luke says his powers are unreliable without sunlight.

Two Harrises travel with Phoebe and Quentin to find Malina, watching footage from the day before when she unleashed her powers on the giant storm. Phoebe is ready to kill her, which unsettles Quentin who questions that method, suggesting they bring her into Renautus instead like the other Evos, but Harris asks if there’s going to be a problem and he backs down. 

Erica pushes Hachiro to finish rebuilding the prison fortress in Evernow lest she kill his daughter, and then him. 

Tommy and Miko escape to another part of Gateway and she explains her mission to save him and he explains how 9th Wonders predicted they would meet, as Erica’s security men close in on him, they escape again, and talk more about the comic book and her partner Ren. Tommy sends Miko back to Sunstone Manor to play her part in a fight against Harris, telling him to tell Ren she loved him. She gives Tommy her bow as proof that he defeated her to try and fool Erica. Erica then has Tommy take them back to the present in Odessa. 

Meanwhile, Matt’s voice plays on a loop at Sunstone, making sure the Evos are compliant. Farah explains her job was to protect Malina who would be able to save the earth by stopping the HELE. The Haitian and Taylor go to deal with Parkman while. Carlos and Farah go to find Father Mauricio, Carlos, and Micah. Carlos and Farah take out several Harrises and eventually find the radio room and shoot the equipment to stop Matt from influencing everyone. Carlos puts on the El Vengador costume and together they find the captive Evos, Father Mauricio and eventually Jose, who leads them to Micah’s cell. As Carlos uses his suit to try and break through the glass, a Harris clone shows up but Father Mauricio intervenes with his power, taking him out. As Carlos thanks him, a guard appears and shoots Father Mauricio as Carlos punches the guard out. He mourns the pastor, but with renewed strength he finally frees Micha and has Farah see to Jose while he hides the body. 

As Matt complains on the phone to get the transmitter working again, the Haitian and Taylor come inside to confront him, turning off Matt‘s powers. The Haitian, Taylor, and Matt spar verbally with Matt telling them how his family walked out on him. He monologues about how he's doing a good thing, and earns a ticket to the future, but Taylor tells him that Erica is lying and just using him. The Haitian tries to get Matt to join them, relaxing his power, which enables Matt to shoot a gun near his ear and implanting a thought for him to leave, and then taking Taylor captive to use her as bargaining chip with Erica. He uses his power to learn about her relationship with Francis and her unborn child.

Outside on the grounds, Harris Prime shows up, calling off his clones so that he can fight Miko himself. The battle is evenly matched until Harris gets the jump on her, holding her from behind, ready to kill her but Miko takes her spear and impales herself all the way through so that it also impales Harris and kills him, instantly destroying his other clones as well.

Meanwhile, Team Quentin has the Harrisses using the Epic Glasses, eventually finding and stopping Luke and Melina. As the two flee into a cornfield, Malina tries using her powers but Phoebe is canceling both of theirs out. Luke has Malina run away but she comes back to help, and is quickly captured by Phoebe‘s darkness with Harris telling her to make her death quick. Luke rushes in and knocks Phoebe out and sets one of the Harrises on fire. A Mexican standoff happens between Quentin and Luke with Quentin eventually giving up. Malina shunts Phoebe, and they begin interrogating the two siblings for information about Tommy. Phoebe could care less, egging Luke on to shoot her. Quentin eventually gives up the answers they seek. Luke still wants to kill the two, but Malina convinces him not to, citing the many regrets he already has. Luke and Malina continue their journey with Phoebe and Quentin as their captives. As they reach the car, a Harris appears to try  and stop them but promptly disappears as Harris Prime was just killed elsewhere.

Back in the present day, Erica continues to manipulate Tommy, but lets him see his mother and Emily. Anne wants to talk more with Tommy, but Erica needs him for the moment, promising to return him later. They show him the new device that they’ll be using to amplify his power to send many more people to the future as long as they are wearing a tracking watch. Erica learns that Sunstone has been compromised and Parkman is on his way to her with Taylor in tow. Harris informs her that Miko is there as well, and Erica realizes that Tommy is playing both sides

Micah accesses Matt’s computer and shows the world the truth about Erica and how she manipulated everyone into hating Evos, showing the behind the scenes footage of the shapeshifter that impersonated Mohinder. People, including Tommy, his mother, and Emily, all watch the reveal, shocked at what they are seeing. 

As Eric watches the footage, she has Joanne brought to her, and reveals she has been manipulating the new stories so no one would try and find her, allowing her to continue hunting Evos. She then tasks her with a new assignment: kill Malina and Luke.

Chapter Twelve 'Company Woman':

Volume: One

Written by: Holly Harold

Directed by: Jon Jones

Original airdate: January 14, 2016

 

Synopsis:

Emily pleads with Tommy to not continue working for Erica, but he says the HELE is coming and he has to help where he can, telling her to get her gateway watch while he heads back to Erica. He asks her if the broadcast was true but she simply asks if it matters. He takes his place in the machine and manages to send a large group of people into the future. Erica tells Dr SciGuy that she just needs to keep Tommy complacent for the next 14 hours, when she’s interrupted by a guard, telling her she’s needed upstairs. Upstairs, Matt confronts Erica and has Taylor hold the gun on herself, threatening to have her shoot herself. Erica tries to defend her choices due to Matt not succeeding at Sunstone, but he presses her, revealing that she would lose not just her daughter if he killed Taylor, but also her grandchild. Erica decides to give him the watches he needs to save him and his family. 

Erica flashes back to her youth when her father was very sick and near death, but the town doctor showed her that he had a healing ability and could heal her father, if she wanted him to. She agrees but then learns the price for the service, allowing the doctor to have sex with her. Later, she learns she is pregnant, but her very alive father tells her that he is there for her no matter what. As her child Taylor grows, she falls ill, and Erica is forced once again to call the doctor for help. He heals her, but this time, his price is not sex, but the daughter herself, who he says will be safer with him. Erica kills the man with a pair of scissors but Taylor sees it. A young Hatman shows up at the door, telling her they’ve been tracking the doctor but then sees she has taken care of the problem herself. He offers to erase her memory of the incident, but she refuses saying she never wants to forget, instead asking him to erase her daughter’s memory of the incident.

Dr SciGuy talks with an assistant and mentions that they need to get 12000 people across the portal or else they won't have enough genetic diversity to sustain a population. Tommy overhears this and teleports away. Meanwhile, Erica comforts Taylor but is interrupted with news that Tommy left, telling her guards to find his mother and leaving. Taylor gets angry that she’s leaving again and suddenly all the glass in the room breaks. She thinks she’s an Evo but Erica said she’s had her tested and she doesn’t have powers, but her baby likely does. She aims the gun at Erica and forces her to take her to Francis, the two arguing and sparring verbally the whole way, but Erica’s guards show up and stop her. Taylor asks her mother why she haters her so much, but Erica breaks down telling her she loves her more than anything.  Erica surprisingly tells the guards to leave and tells Taylor she is still the greatest thing that ever happened to her. Taylor asks what is next, and Erica says they start over in the future, but Taylor says she would rather die than live in an empty world with her, something that absolutely breaks Erica’s spirit.

Tommy sees his mother being taken by Erica’s guards and freezes time to rescue her, getting her away from the area and showing her the future. Tommy doubts the prophecies, instead thinking Erica’s plan is the best way to save a large amount of people. Anne tells him that his father believed he was capable of so much more, regarding his powers, but Tommy is frustrated that he can’t remember any of what he learned. He drops his mother near the clocktower where he and Malina are destined to meet. 

Luke, Malina and their captives, Phoebe and Quentin, are in a long line of cars being checked by the authorities. Rather than sit around for them to find Malina, Luke suggests going to Union Wells High School, where everyone is being evacuated to, and try to get Tommy’s attention there instead of trying to get into Gateway to find Tommy. Luke pulls off the road and decides to finally end things and kill Phoebe and Quentin. Malina begs him not, saying he isn’t that same guy anymore. As Luke marches them into the woods to kill them, Phoebe pushes him about not being able to kill her and then runs away. Luke pulls the gun but Quentin knocks him over to stop him. As Phoebe breaks her bonds and pulls out the shunt, regaining her powers, Quentin breaks his bonds as well and grabs the gun Luke dropped after being knocked down. He stops Luke from going after Phoebe, but then hands him the gun, telling him that that girl isn’t his sister anymore. Together they go to Union Wells High School and Malina uses her abilities to get the attention of a news crew interviewing evacuees and sends a message out to Tommy to come find them.

Farah, Carlos, and Micah see the news broadcast, and Micah sends the message out on anything that can receive a signal on a loop so Tommy will see it.  Tommy returns to Anne but says he couldn’t find Malina, deciding to go back in time to find his sister. She warns him against it, citing his father’s warnings about changing the past. They then see the broadcast, and he teleports away immediately. Unfortunately, Erica and Dr SciGuy also saw the broadcast, and sent Joanne there, along with Otomo. 

Tommy shows up and starts looking for Malina, but Otomo finds him first and uses his powers to capture Tommy and place him in the same prison Hiro was trapped in inside of Evernow. Joanne also shows up and shoots while everyone panics and runs. Luke holds off Joanne and while they trade some barbs back and forth, she shoots Malina and Luke ends up killing her by unleashing his power on her. They check on Malina but she is safe because Farah turned invisible and jumped in front of her, taking the bullet. Carlos, Jose, and Micah take Farah to the hospital. 

Matt drives from the place, calling Janice and begging her to meet him so they can be saved, but ends up swerving to avoid a falling power line on the road and crashes his car into a ditch near a river. As his watches are washed away, Matt yells for help, until he breaks down mentally, and starts laughing, knowing his time has likely come.

 

Ren makes it to Odessa and is surprised to find his name is on the list for entry, and for receiving a Gateway watch. He ends up meeting Emily, and she realizes he is looking for Tommy and the two head off to try and find him together. As they explore the building, Ren recognizes the layout from Evernow and finds an elevator that will take them to the core after he uses his helix necklace as a key. They find Otomo and Erica talking about having imprisoned Tommy, and then witness DrSciGuy inject a sedative into Otomo, knocking him out. He activates the computer and Tommy finds himself trapped inside the digital prison. 

Back-issues:

Tom Melissis played the doctor. His biggest claim to fame is Degrassi: The Next Generation. He was also a lead in the series Due South (the adventures of an impossibly upright Royal Canadian Mounted Police constable and his American colleagues in the city of Chicago).

Caitlin Carver was Young Erica. She’s been in a small handful of episodes of Chicago Fire, Dear White People, The Fosters, and Hit The Floor. Most recently, she was in Call of the Void in 2025 (after the death of her brother, Moray tries to escape to a cabin in the woods when her retreat is derailed by a college band and their suspicious professor. They encounter a mysterious hum that once heard, there is no return).

RW657 - Heroes Reborn Rewatch E09-10 - Sundae 11:53

 

In this weeks episode of The Heroes Reborn Rewatch, Cory and Tom scream for ice cream and future proof their plans as they discuss episodes 9 & 10, Sundae Bloody Sundae and 11:53 to Odessa.

Chapter Nine 'Sundae, Bloody Sundae':

Volume: One

Written by: Marisha Mukerjee and Sharon Hoffman

Directed by: Gideon Raff

Original airdate: November 12, 2015

Synopsis: 

Carlos gets into Sunstone Manor as Dearing’s plan works perfectly, however, while Carlos is being processed, Dearing learns that they have to also swab him to make sure Evos aren’t turning in their own kind. He fights back but the nurse subdues him with a sedative.

Carlos manages to get the jump on one of the guards and steals his uniform as he sneaks around looking for his nephew and the pastor. He finds them, but Jose is seeing his father and doesn’t want to leave. The pastor says he has seen the light and wants to stay and help Erica. Carlos tries to get away but is captured by the Sunstone guards.

Dearing is interrogated by Matt who totally unironically condemns him for using his own powers against other Evos, before letting him commit suicide as his punishment. He then questions Carlos and learns about his time in battle in Afghanistan and tries using that to find out more about his secrets, learning about Farah’s involvement. 

Luke and Malina talk about fate, which she strongly believes in, and Luke refusing to talk about what made him lose his purpose in life. Later as they drive on, he does open up about his son however. 

Meanwhile, almost 8000 years in the future, Miko appears in a large desert, making her way towards a building in the distance. 

Taylor cuts and dyes her to try to hide from her mother. Hero Turther contacts her for a secret meeting. When she arrives, she finds herself taken captive by two assailants. When she awakens, she sees her mother there, but quickly finds out it is just a shapeshifter. The Haitian reveals himself and together they formulate a plan to try and rescue Francis and Hero Truther, Micah from Erica. 

Tommy and Emily walk hand in hand to the ice cream parlor, kissing before he leaves to see his mother. Hatman goes to see Emily and while he places a spinning penny on the counter, he stops her from touching it, letting her keep her memories of her first love of Tommy. Unfortunately, they are interrupted by Joanne who has returned to find Tommy. Hatman tries to distract Joanne and drops a number of pennies, hoping she will pick one up and thereby lose her memories, but Joanne notices a look between Hatman and Emily and cuts them off by flashing her gun menacingly. Hatman talks to Joanne, playing on her thoughts of losing her son, trying to convince her to pick up the penny so he can help her forget all about it.

Elsewhere Tommy talks with his mother who begins to tell him all about his past and where he comes from and who his family is and the true nature of his powers. Bennet shows up to confirm that Tommy can actually time travel just like Hiro. He tells him that he needs to get him and his sister to Odessa, but asks for a minute to talk with Anne. As Tommy goes outside, he runs into Quentin who talks with him, helping him get a candy bar out of the machine. He then gets a call from Emily but it turns out to be Joanne, leaving Tommy to teleport to the ice cream shop, leaving Quentin, who had hoped to take Tommy to Erica, empty-handed. Tommy then teleports into the ice cream shop and faces off against Joanne. Hatman tosses his briefcase of pennies as a distraction but Joanne reacts instinctively and shoots him dead. Luke and Malina, just having arrived outside the shop, hear the gunshot. Luke races in and faces off against Joanne who is surprised he didn’t burn inside their house. He burns the wall behind Joanne as a warning but she says Luke can just kill her so she can be with her son again and she will then kill Emily. As Joanne shoots and Luke launches fire towards her, Tommy reacts and freezes time. He then moves the bullet and redirects Luke’s flames, and restarts time while teleporting him and Emily to safety, though he does notice Malina in the back of the shop. Joanne escapes with Luke following behind her, chasing her, but Harris shows up and helps Joanne get away. 

Tommy returns to the hospital, and tries to teleport him and Bennet away but he can’t as it’s revealed Phoebe is there. Bennet draws his gun on her but Quentin draws his gun on Tommy, holding him captive and revealing to Bennet that he is working for  Erica now. Bennet gives up his gun as Quentin and Phoebe escape with Tommy as their captive. Back at the ice cream shop, Bennet finds Malina, introducing himself as her grandfather. Tommy meanwhile is brought to Erica, who invites him to sit for dinner with her as she tells him she will tell him how he can save the future.

Chapter Ten '11:53 to Odessa':

Volume: One

Written by: Seamus Kevin Fahey

Directed by: Larysa Kondracki

Original airdate: November 19, 2015

 

Synopsis: 

As Bennet talks to Malina about their next moves, Luke approaches them, wanting to help but Bennet is standoffish and refuses assistance. As Bennet and Malina make their way to Midian, talking about Claire and everything that happened for the twins’ safety and Erica’s plans, Luke follows them and he and Bennet exchange words again later with Bennet telling him they are fine on their own, despite Luke’s earnestness at wanting to help.

Miko enters Gateway and is confronted by the workers there, attacking them and beating them. Inside she subdues a guard and creates a makeshift spear as she investigates the building, eventually finding her father and his real life daughter who is hooked up into the Evo tables alongside others. He tells her how Renautus kept his daughter alive as long as he did what they said. He reveals that he sent Ren to her for reasons, and that she must find the master of time and space to get her final mission. Hochiro then apologizes, calling for the guards for fear of losing his real life daughter as Miko runs away.

Tommy awakens in a bed with a scar on the back of his neck as Erica greets him good morning. She explains he passed out after dinner and they ran some tests on him to be sure he was ok. Nathan asks about Phoebe and his family, assessing the situation, as Erica tries to manipulate him against them. She explains what her plan is, referring to Hiro and the idea they could send people to the future, hoping that Tommy will reopen the bridge that was cut off. He wants to see the future she is referring to so she agrees to show him. He ends up seeing the vast desert wasteland and the start of Erica’s new city called Gateway and decides that he will help her. He asks her about the scar and she admits the truth: that she tried to steal his powers but it didn’t work. Later, as Tommy sends some of Erica’s people back to the past for more supplies, she tells him to send back Quentin and Phoebe, convinced that Tommy is fully on board and not worried about him escaping. After he follows her instructions, reiterating that he wants to bring his family and friends here, Miko suddenly appears and grabs Tommy, telling him she is there to save the master of time and space and he teleports them both away. 

Quentin comments regretfully on the craziness going on but Phoebe shows no remorse and a much more aggressive attitude as she believes she is only useful to Erica, saying this is who she is from now on. 

The Haitian and his crew keep watch as their shapeshifter, Mr. Changeroo, now transformed into Erica, and Taylor, now with undyed hair and full length tresses restored, begin their ruse to get into the facility, easily bypassing security. 

Matt uses the information he pulled from Carlos to interrogate Farrah, and eventually brings him in as well to threaten so Farah will talk and tell Matt where Malina is headed. While Farah said she would never reveal it, the possibility that Carlos, whom she loves, would be killed by Matt, convinces her to give up Malina’s location. Matt meets with fake Erica and Taylor but with his ability working when they ask to see Micah, he suspects something is up, leaving Taylor to tase him unconscious. While Mr. Changeroo looks for more information they can use, Taylor goes off to find Micah.

As Matt awakens, Mr. Changeroo shifts into a copy of him. Harris walks in and shoots Mr. Changeroo immediately. Matt asks how he knew and Harris says he took a chance, which upsets Matt. He tells Harris about Malina’s destination but Harris says they’ve got it handled. Matt heads off to the captured Micah and makes him reveal if his and his family’s names are on the escape list.

Meanwhile Ren is desperately searching online for news of Katana Girl when he sees a shogun and starts following him. He finally tracks him to a dojo where samurai are fighting with wooden swords. The shogun unmasks to reveal himself as Hachiro Ottomo and Ren asks if this is real. Hachiro responds that they are constructs sent here by the real Hachiro in the future. He tells Ren to take a helix necklace, a key, and get to Odessa where there is a gateway that can take him to the future. He chases after Hachiro but he is gone as well as the fighting Samurai. he goes outside and soon sees a bus going to Odessa. 

Later, as Malina and Bennet drive they see dozens of cars stopped and giant black clouds filling the sky. She uses her powers to push the clouds away, and chaos ensues. As a car flies through the air towards Bennet, an unseen person suddenly appears and teleports him away. Malina eventually succeeds in saving everyone nearby, but people begin blaming Evos for the starting incident in the first place. She tries to find Bennet but only recovers his broken glass, and Luke convinces her to run away when someone fires off a gun.

Carlos, being led back to his cell, attacks the guard and gets the upper hand, releasing Farrah, and the two reconnect and begin escaping through the building together, armed and dangerous. They soon run into Taylor and the three of them team up. They escape and reunite with The Haitian and his team but they are then approached by dozens upon dozens of Harrises.
