The four of them quietly leave, Jack calls Audrey, tells her to get out of the building immediately. Audrey says she's on her way out. The truth is that Audrey is approached by guards who place her under arrest. Other guards release Hammond from his interrogation cell. Jack, Chloe, Morris, and Nadia meet up at Jack's car. A guard tells them to freeze. Jack knows the guard is too far away for Jack to take away his gun. Just then David appears, knocks the guard out, tells, them to get out. Jack realizes Audrey lied to him. He wants to wait, but Nadia says then need to leave. Audrey lied because they need to stop Max. Reluctantly Jack agrees. The four of them get into the car.
