Colleen and Jessica sit uncomfortably in the backseat as a driver and a guard take them back to the airport. After they pass the gate (which is closed behind them) and pull onto the tarmac, the driver gets a call and when he speaks, it's in a low whisper; Colleen and Jessica both give each other nervous glances. The car pulls to a stop. "Why are we stopping?," Colleen asks in an attempted nonchalant tone. The driver cocks his head back briefly, "Get out of the car, please," then both he and the guard step out. Back at the plane, Paladin descends the steps leading up to the jet and reaches back to grip his gun tightly as he watches them. The driver waits beside the rear driver's side door as Colleen and Jessica get out (Colleen makes sure to keep the door open). The driver's guard gets out on the passenger side of the car and calls out to Paladin, "Pilot, could you please come here for a moment?". Paladin nods and smiles, "Sure thing," then walks out to the car.
"So can I have my gun back?," Colleen asks as she holds out her palm. The driver reaches into his jacket and gives her a reassuring smile, "Sure," and then pulls a gun, pointing it at near point-blank range. Colleen grabs his wrists and brings them down against the car door with enough force to make him drop his weapon. Standing on the other side of the car, the guard pulls his own weapon, but Paladin quickly draws and fires, shattering the passenger side window as he hits his target. Colleen palm-heels the driver across the face, grabs him by the back of his jacket as he reels back, then slams his head through the door window. She picks the gun off the ground and turns to Jessica, "Get to the plane!"; the three of them race back to the jet. They let Jessica climb on board first, then Colleen asks Paladin, "Where's Shang-Chi?" "We got other things to worry about," he points to the distance as more guards approach, rifles drawn. Both Colleen and Paladin open fire, striking two as the others duck behind crates, luggage vehicles, and other forms of cover.
The sound of an approaching engine can be heard across the tarmac, gaining everyone's attention. They look out across the airport and see a jeep burst through the gate and roar to their location. Colleen smiles, knowing full well who is behind the wheel. Shang-Chi drives the vehicle toward the plane at a determined speed. The guards turn their attention away from the plane and gather on the tarmac to open fire on the jeep. They bust the headlights, put several bullets through the grill and then the front tires. Soon, the jeep dives nose first into the pavement, flips over, and starts rolling as bits of debris fall off. It loses momentum as it gradually comes to a stop, then rests on its side as smoke billows from it. The guards quickly approach the jeep with their rifles ready. Meanwhile, Colleen and Paladin hold their breath as they wait for any signs of life. As the guards get closer, a figure leaps over the destroyed jeep, flips through the air and a heel lands against the chest of one guard, throwing him against a stack of containers that quickly topple over. Shang slips in the middle of the cluster of guards, making their rifles mostly useless as they cannot shoot at him due to the lack of range. He kicks one in the face, punches another, and continues the momentum of his spin by elbowing the third. One guard steps back and raises his rifle, but Shang sidesteps, shoving the muzzle of the rifle just as he opens fire, which strikes another guard in the distance. Shang-Chi ducks down, sweeping his legs out from under him. With the final guard on the ground, Shang flips into the air, bringing his heel down on top of the fallen guard.
"That's why I wanted him on the team," Colleen says aloud.
"Good choice," Paladin agrees.
Shang races to them, slipping the pack from his back, then handing it to Colleen. "Here," he tells her, "This is the layout of the land as well as potential targets."
"The Prime Minister isn't coming?"
"He won't leave his people. This information should give us the advantage, though. No one would know this country better than the Sokovians themselves."
Another jeep comes through the broken gate and heads their way.
"We have company," Jessica calls out from the plane.
"We need to take off now!," Paladin retreats to the cockpit, "Strap in everyone!"
"They'll destroy the plane before we even get into the air," Shang says solemnly.
"I don't like the look you have right now."
Shang turns and kisses her and she is taken aback for a moment. He releases her, smiles, and tells her, "I wish we had more time," then turns back to the rapidly approaching jeep. He steps off the jet's ramp and begins running toward it as it gets closer. Colleen calls out, "Wait!". Jessica pulls her inside, "Colleen, we have to go!" They close the ramp to the jet and Paladin begins flipping switches on the console. The propellers come alive and the plane's wheels begin to turn. Shang continues to run at the jeep headlong, which shows no signs of slowing. He launches himself high into the air and the two men in the front seats drop their jaws. Shang's reflection appears a split-second before he flies straight through the windshield, feet-first. Paladin pulls the jet onto the runway while Colleen and Jessica peer through the windows.
The driver's side door opens and the driver spills out in an unconscious heap, which is followed by Shang who rolls out of the vehicle and stands ready. The rear door opens and he quickly kicks it, slamming it against the head of the next man who gets out. A second man gets out on the opposite side with a rocket launcher. He crouches to the ground and quickly takes aim at the jet as it prepares for take-off. Shang comes in with a kick to the side of his head and as he falls, he fires a single rocket. The projectile arches over the jet, hitting the tail of another plane. Jessica flinches as she sees the explosion from her window. Finally, a pair of high-heel shoes step out of the jeep; Ricadonna is the last one to get out. A confident smirk appears across her face and she makes her way to Shang as he disarms the rocket launcher.
He doesn't turn, but still somehow knows someone is approaching from behind, so he quickly spins and throws a punch. Ricadonna raises her arms over her head defensively and when Shang strikes her forearm, there is a distinct sound of clanging metal. In the plane, Colleen watches helplessly as Paladin drives them down the runway. Shang clutches his hand in pain and is quickly knocked down with a punch to the head. Ricadonna snatches him by the throat, then lifts him over her head. He says nothing and shows no emotion; he simply stares into her eyes.
"I know your kind," Ricadonna says with a smile, "I could torture you for hours and you'd die before you even made a sound," the smile fades, "So I guess there's no reason to keep you alive then."
She flips her wrist and there's a distinct snapping sound. The jet takes off into the sky and Colleen watches from above as Ricadonna drops Shang-Chi's dead body at her feet. "No!," she screams and presses her hands against the window. Jessica closes her eyes and shakes her head as she hears Colleen's sobs. Paladin, meanwhile continues to fly, nervously looking out the windows for anymore enemies. From the ground, Ricadonna watches as the jet flies away, scowling as they retreat.
