One afternoon, a chance at redemption comes in the form of Alcott, a mysterious man who Tyler finds on his porch one day. While we know nothing about Alcott (his name is never actually revealed in the film), he brings with him an opportunity that Tyler can’t turn down. The chance to extract Tyler’s ex-wife’s sister and children from the wretched clutches of her husband Davit, who also happens to be the head of the Nagazi crime syndicate. The family is locked up in a maximum security prison inGeorgia, which means he’s going to need his team. Tyler recruits his trusted fellow mercs Nik and Yaz, and together with the rest of the merc team, they conduct their most impossible extraction mission to date.

While the mission is successful, it’s not without life-altering consequences for Tyler. He rescues Ketevan and her children, but he loses Yaz along the way. It’s a gut-wrenching, soul-crushing blow to the otherwise battled-hardened mercenary. For the emotional win, he finally has the chance to find closure with his ex-wife. In what amounts to the most insurmountable battle of his life, he summons up the courage to admit that he was wrong for abandoning his family at the time of their son’s illness. It’s a pivotal moment for Tyler in his long and complicated personal journey, but the resolution brings him a moment of much-needed peace.
