The Fans are all killed during this attack; their last survivor, Tony, is personally killed past Pardo afterwards attempting to give up to the police, to deny him his "15 minutes of fame." Post-obit this, Pardo has a nightmare wherein he is outed equally the "Miami Mutilator", a series killer he has seemingly been later to attain fame like to Jacket, and barricades himself in his dwelling.

Their concluding consignment involves besieging a heavily guarded Power Constitute controlled by the Russians. As they make their way into the building, the commander in charge, having apparently gone insane, murders the found's technicians and begins a meltdown on the main reactor before shooting himself in the head. The Soldier saves Jacket's life during their escape endeavour, later on a booby trap explodes and severely injures ii members of their unit including Jacket, merely dies a year afterward during a nuclear strike on San Francisco which decisively terminates the state of war in the Soviets' favor, revealing his appearances to exist Jacket's comatose hallucinations.

In 1989, Jake and Richter are sent on individual missions parallel to Jacket's; Jake realizes the officially-peaceful fifty Blessings organization has been the one giving him orders all along when he meets with one of their representatives, who denies everything. Subsequently, he is sent on a suicide mission, which ends differently depending on the player'southward deportment: if the role player fails, he is captured, tortured, and eventually killed by the Russian Mafia, and if he succeeds, fifty Blessings takes him to a safehouse and kills him anyway to silence him. Richter is revealed to exist reluctant to work with 50 Blessings until they threaten his ailing female parent. Richter is somewhen captured and imprisoned, but manages to escape during a prison riot orchestrated by 50 Blessings to kill him to proceed him from corroborating Jacket's testimony.

Back in 1991, the escaped Richter shares his story with Evan in exchange for airplane tickets for his mother to come to Hawaii. Evan's marriage and finances, however, are nether pressure equally he spends more than time working on his book, and he must cull whether he abandons the volume or his family unit.

Meanwhile, the Son is trying to reclaim his father's empire from Colombian gangsters who filled the power vacuum his male parent's death left.

Under the influence of his own designer drugs he goes on a rampage, killing his own men in addition to the superhuman monsters he sees the Fans as, and so walking off the hideout'south roof on a rainbow bridge to his expiry.

The epilogue shows Richter, reunited with his mother, hearing on the news that the American and Soviet presidents were both assassinated in an attempted coup d'état, with the prime number doubtable existence an American general. The Soviet Union declares this an human activity of war, and launches several nuclear attacks against the United States which obliterate Miami and Hawaii.
