They meet Marco, a contact who warns Cole that Sadie prioritizes missions over lives. After a series of skirmishes with bounty hunters, Sadie decides to use Cole as bait to recover the weapon. They are eventually separated, but Cole manages to rescue Sadie on Socotra Island. Following a period of recovery and a stint at CIA headquarters, Cole is convinced to resume his role as 'the Taxman' to lure Leveque into a trap. They eventually team up in a high-stakes confrontation at a revolving restaurant. During a frantic gunfight, they successfully defeat Leveque's men and secure the Aztec device. The film ends with the two rekindling their relationship and deciding to travel together while pursuing their respective careers.
