Part 2/8:
The narrative quickly shifts focus to another assassin, Cook, who, after a grotesque turn of events at a car dealership that ends with the dealership owner being run over, targets a sailor named Bennett. Bennett, a fellow former soldier, leaves to man a tugboat, only to find his exit cut short by a remote-controlled explosion orchestrated by Cook.
As the action intensifies, we are thrust into the life of retired Army Special Forces Colonel John Matrix. Residing in the mountains of Upstate California with his young daughter Jenny, John enjoys life in a serene bubble that is abruptly pierced by the arrival of Major General Franklin Kirby. Franklin reveals that John’s former military unit has been decimated by unknown mercenaries, and John's own life hangs in the balance.
