He wanted Ethan.
Claire insisted on going with him.
Bennett warned them.

Ethan nodded.
“It is.”

“Because he believes we're afraid.”
Inside the theater, Victor appeared beneath the broken spotlight.

“Michael would be proud.”
Ethan stared at him.
“You killed my father.”
Victor smiled.
“Your father killed himself by refusing to understand the rules.”
Claire stepped forward.
“You took my mother.”
“And you stole something from me.”
Claire's expression remained calm.
“What?”

Bennett's team entered from the rear.
The trap had been turned against its creator.
But Victor had anticipated that too.
Smoke filled the theater.
When it cleared—
