Plot[]
The group, having monitored Hastings' movements, have tracked him down to Cuba. They realize that Castro may have agreed to help Perseus move the Greenlight nuke to have a peek at his special software. Knowing the threat of a nuclear bomb near American soil and that Hastings was last recorded south of Havana, they believe he may be using an abandoned compound in secrecy.
Adler believes that they should do a smash-and-grab operation for the nuke. Park is worried that the nuke may not be there, but Hudson is confident that it is, as Perseus would have no reason to have Hastings there otherwise.
Fighting their way through Castro's army forces, "Bell" gets access to the CCTV, where they find the room the scientists are being held in. However, Perseus shoots and kills the scientists and destroys the camera, prompting the team to fight faster to reach them. Upon arriving, they find all but Hastings dead, but he himself has been mortally wounded.
As they secure the room, Hastings tells them that Perseus came in, shot them and escaped. Park asks her what he had them do; Hastings states that he forced his team to reverse-engineer the nuke's detonation codes, which would allow him to detonate all of the bombs in Europe, wiping out half of the continent so the United States could be blamed for the attacks. Woods spots Perseus getting on a helicopter, but fails to kill Perseus. Cuban reinforcements begin swarming the compound at the same time, with all teams making their way to the roof.
From there, a small team preps an air balloon to let "Skyhook" know that they need extraction. Park asks Adler where he and the others are, who state that they are bogged down by the enemy. "Skyhook" helps takes out most of the Cubans as they arrive to rope the team to safety. As "Bell" attaches themselves, a Cuban soldier appears and fires an RPG, badly wounding them, Park and Lazar.
"Bell" comes to and sees their allies badly wounded.
"Bell" decides to prioritize Lazar's safety first. They then try to rescue Park, but "Skyhook" lifts them and Lazar off before they can do so, and the arriving Cubans proceed to kill her.
