A violent raid opens when an attacker shouts "Prepare to die!" as Luke fights and tells someone to take Mr. Searle and run. Pursuers close in while guards shout to stop the escape and Luke covers the retreat. Separately, Terilee answers Luke's call at home; he orders her to reach his villa within fifteen minutes and threatens that alerting police or her grandpa will mean her guard’s and father's deaths. She reluctantly agrees. Back at the villa the assailant taunts the bodyguard, commands "Bring me the knife!" and a terrified cry—"No! Stop!"—cuts the scene, leaving immediate danger unresolved.
