Plot[]
The trio are still at the abandoned quarry, preparing for Lozano's attack. They have attempted to procure weapons from their arms dealer but have been unsuccessful; Felix is convinced what they are doing is suicidal but Locus tells him they've survived worse. While the they are preparing, Siris realises that Lozano doesn't know he exists, as the crime boss only mentioned that he knew of Locus and Felix and Siris could run without Lozano ever knowing. Siris argues that he has a family. Felix is initially furious and threatens to shoot Siris but Locus talks him down, agreeing that he could slip away. The scene ends with Siris putting his weapons on the table, implying he has run away.
Later that night, Lozano and his men arrive in force at the quarry, with most up near the main building with Felix and two groups guarding the quarry entrance. Lozano is driven up to Felix but remains within an armoured limousine and talks to Felix by phone. Felix gives Lozano one last chance to let them go but he refuses. Lozano orders his men to shoot Felix but as one prepares to do so, Locus snipes the man from an elevated position. A battle breaks out between the two mercs and the gangsters.
As the battle rages, one of the gangsters near the gate tries to shoot at Locus with a sniper rifle, only to realise the area has been littered with dynamite. The dynamite detonates, killing half of the gangsters at the gate. The survivors are then gunned down by a third party, revealed to be Siris, who had in fact chosen to stay and fight all along.
Siris then rushes up to the main battle and kills most of the remaining gangsters. He then opens up Lozano's car expecting to see the crime boss, only to see the vehicle is empty. Lozano sneaks up behind Siris and hits him in the head with a baseball bat. Lozano proceeds to tell Siris how he told them he was going to make good on his threat, before raising the bat. However, he is then suddenly gunned down by Felix. Siris tells Lozano that he shouldn't have brought family into it, though Lozano says "But you did first" before he dies.
As the sun rises over the quarry, the mercs are victorious. Felix thanks Siris for ultimately choosing to stay; Siris points out that they are partners. Locus notes how they're even more down financially on equipment costs due to the battle. Siris agrees and observes that it would probably have been smarter to turn Lozano in. Felix then asks how much they think they can get for Lozano's limousine. The episode ends with the trio driving the limousine triumphantly through the city streets.
Transcript[]
In the abandoned quarry, the mercs are preparing for battle. Siris inspects his sniper rifle, while Locus parks a bulldozer off to the side.
Locus: We're good on the north and south. I had enough extra limestone to make a bottleneck at the east end.
Siris: Good.
Locus: Dynamite?
Siris: In the crate.
Locus: Good.
Felix: Welp, our trusty arms dealer isn't returning my calls, so he's either high or... fully aware of how fucked we are. (beat) On the bright side, there's a pileup on 35, so, that buys us some time. You know, in case we just wanna kill ourselves.
Locus: We have enough firepower. We also have the cliff to our backs, and a thorough understanding of the terrain. We have survived worse. [Forcefully gives Felix a gun] But if you waste a single one of our rounds on yourself, I will be very unhappy.
Felix: ...Why does it always gotta be about you?
Siris picks up a pistol and examines it thoughtfully.
Felix: Wu, you wanna give me a hand? Hey Wu! Ammo?
Siris: Lozano doesn't know about me...
Felix: What?
Siris: Lozano. He called you out. Locus and Felix. Two bounty hunters, but he never mentioned me. I was never inside.
Felix: The hell are you saying, Mas?
Siris: I'm saying I have a family, man.
Felix: Are you kidding me?
Siris: You and Ortez fight just as well without me.
Felix: No, fuck that. Are you seriously trying to get out of this?!
Siris: I never wanted this.
Felix: Son of a bitch! [Raises gun at Siris, Siris points his gun in return]
Locus: Felix! (a moment of silence passes) Siris is right. Lozano has no idea he exists. If he wasn't here... no one would question a thing.
Short pause, then Felix and Siris lower their guns. Siris thinks for a moment, then puts the pistol back down on the table. Later that night, a group of black cars plow through the gate at the quarry's entrance. They park in front of the main entrance. Felix has a gun on the recently deceased Gabriel's head. Gabriel has a bag over his head and is tied to a chair to give the appearance that he's still alive. Lozano's men get into position and point their guns at Felix.
Felix: So, what? Daddy chicken out?
Another squad of cars pulls up to the scene, including a hummer limo containing Lozano. Even more of Lozano's henchmen come out of the vehicles. One of the men throws Felix a ringing cell phone.
Felix: Really? [Picks up the phone and answers] This is Felix.
Ruben: Felix, thank you for saving me the trouble of hunting you down. I respect a man who chooses to look his death in the face.
Felix: Well that's awfully presumptuous of you.
Ruben: Where is your partner?
Felix: Oh, he's around. We wanted to give you one more chance to take your kid and let us go our separate ways.
Ruben: I'm afraid you are not in a position to negotiate.
Felix: Come on man, I have a gun to your son's head! Most people would call that a pretty hefty bargaining chip.
Ruben: I am not most people.
Felix: [sigh] Yeah. I guess not. But you were stupid enough to come here.
Ruben hangs up and taps of the window, signaling one of his men to fire at Felix. Before he can pull the trigger, he is shot in the head from a distance.
Bodyguard 1: Sniper!
He also gets shot through the head. The sniper is revealed to be Locus, who has positioned himself on top of a nearby cliff.
Locus: Move!
Felix: Moving!
Felix kicks Gabriel toward the cars.
Bodyguard 2: After him!
Ruben's men chase after Felix, while Bodyguard 2 stays behind to pull the sack off of Gabriel's head to find that Gabriel has a live grenade in his mouth.
Bodyguard 2: Oh shit!
Boom.
Ruben: Will somebody kill these motherfuckers?
Bodyguard 3: Go, go! [Points a sniper at Locus] I got you.
He stops to realize that the ledge he's up against is covered in dynamite. All the other men turn to see what happened and are immediately shot by Siris.
Siris: Second positions.
Ruben: Ronaldo, what's happening?
Siris: Sit tight Ruben.
Felix hops onto an escalator to avoid Lozano's men. He shoots one in the head, plants a bomb on the lift, then turns and jumps to the nearby ledge. He gets shot in the leg on the way down. Felix pulls out a detonator and blows up the lift, killing the men inside. Locus helps Felix onto his feet.
Felix: How many is that?
Locus: Nineteen.
Another henchman appears behind Locus.
Felix: Shit.
Felix throws a knife at the henchman, striking him with the blunt end and causing him to fall off the ledge.
Felix: That works.
Siris kills the rest of Lozano's men, then opens the limo door to search for the mob boss He finds it empty and is hit in the head by Lozano's baseball bat.
Ruben: I told you. You fucking piece of shit! I told you I'd bash your head in! Fucking bounty hunters. [Raises his bat and is shot multiple times by Locus and Felix.]
Felix: What a douche.
Siris: [To Ruben] You shouldn't have brought family into it.
Ruben: But you did first. [Dies]
Siris lets these words sink in, then turns to see the sunrise.
Felix: Nature is so fucking cliche.
Locus: We're alive. Quit complaining.
Felix: Yeah, but it's part of my charm. [To Siris] Hey, thanks for staying.
Siris: We're partners.
Felix: Partners.
Locus: We're still out our initial equipment cost, and then some.
Siris: Yeah. Probably would've been smart to turn him in.
Felix: Well, how much do you think we'd get for this? [Knocks on Lozano's limo]
Cuts to a city street, where the mercs are driving away to pawn off the limo. They run red lights and cut off other drivers in the process, clearly no longer concerned about public safety.

Trivia[]
- The episode's end credits reveal Felix's full name to be Isaac Gates.
- The three mercs driving past a red light at the end of the episode could possibly symbolize Felix and Locus' transition from being neutral and chaotic good as bounty hunters to becoming the evil mercenaries shown in the Chorus Trilogy.
- Felix's horrible knife throw is a reference to his improved knife skills in the future.
- The blunt end of the knife hitting the henchman in the forehead may be a reference to a scene in the 2000 slasher horror film Scream 3 where the killer does exactly the same thing to the character Dewey Riley. The only exception to this being that Dewey survives, while the henchman falls off the railing and dies.
- Felix being shot in the leg is a reference to Neighborhood Watch where Locus shoots him in the leg.
- Felix pulling a gun on Siris only to be interrupted by Locus is a reference to The Thin Fed Line, where the same thing happens with Sharkface.
- At the 6:22 mark, where Felix runs up a gravel escalator before detonating an explosive to kill three pursuing enemies likely references the 1998 anime Cowboy Bebop, where the character Spike Spiegel nearly did the exact same thing.
- Felix's line about nature being so cliche at the end as the sun rises references "cue the sun", a common trope in tv shows and movies.
