After Cottonmouth and Scarfe's bloody clash, Luke realizes that saving the community may turn former allies into enemies, and enemies into allies.
Scarfe attempts to blackmail Stokes, but is mortally wounded instead and escapes to Pop's barbershop for help. Cage contacts Temple, who treats Scarfe's injuries, while another of Stokes' men, Lieutenant Perez, is ordered to find and kill Scarfe. Knight finds out Perez is also on Stokes' payroll and tricks him into implicating himself, records his admission before arresting him.
Cage, Temple and Scarfe are ambushed by mercenaries hired by Stokes on their way to the hospital and although Cage fends them off, Scarfe dies from his injuries. With his dying breath he gives Cage a ledger with incriminating evidence on Stokes, which Cage then presents to Knight, leading to Stokes' arrest.
