We see the face of Sean McRoberts (Shia LaBeouf) in a dark room. Sean wears a US Marine uniform and is surrounded by other Marines. An older, British man, Patrick Lind (Pierce Brosnan), a Captain in the British Army. A large image of Frank Abbadon (Kevin Durand) is projected onto a white screen hanging from the wall. Lind paces in front of the screen, addressing the unit.
LIND
You are the elite, the best at your respective functions from all of our Allied nations. You have been brought to this unit for one reason.
Lind looks at the screen with the image of Frank in a US Marine uniform holding an M16 to the head of a prisoner with a grimace on his face.
LIND
Frank Abbadon-a murderer and traitor to America. He is one of the most ruthless and despicable men in the world. From what I gather, he was once the second-fastest rising Marine in the states.
MARINE
Who was the first?
We see the face of Ray Patterson (Grant Bowler), meeting eyes with Lind.
We see Sean, crouched behind a half-destroyed brick wall, holding his rifle tightly to his body. Only Ray is crouched next to him.
SEAN
Captain...if you don't mind me asking, what's the deal with you and this Abbadon guy?
Ray pauses and looks away.
SEAN
I'm sorry, if you don't want to tell me, that's-
RAY
Frank and I were in the same company, years ago. We were both two of the best young Marines that had been seen in years, and we spent a lot of time together in Iraq.
RAY
I guess you could say I was the closest thing to a friend he ever had.
Enemy planes fly overhead and drop a dozen bombs on the city that Sean and Ray are outside of. They both fall to the ground to be fully protected by the wall. The explosion is massive as the entire city collapses, and the debris comes towards Sean and Ray.
We see Abbadon holding a gun to the head of Jake Faber (Michael Mantenuto), the son of the Vice-President, who is on his knees. Ray approaches him with his gun pointed at Abbadon's head, and a stand-off begins.
RAY
Let him go, Frank!
JAKE
Shoot him, he's just gonna kill me anyway!
Frank brutally kicks Jake in the ribs, sending him to the ground.
RAY
No, he isn't! Stay calm, alright? Frank, you're not that kind of person, you're not going to murder a defenseless boy!
FRANK
You know, Ray, in the five years we spent together, I thought you would have gotten to know me.
We fade to black as a gunshot is heard.
We see the President of the United States, David Garcia (Nestor Carbonell) in a military bunker. He sits at a table with a military commander.
COMMANDER
Sir, did you hear me? Nuclear weapons have been deployed! We must respond!
GARCIA
I will not be responsible for a nuclear war!
COMMANDER
You won't be responsible, because if you don't do anything, we're all dead!
Garcia pauses with his palm on his forehead, sweating.
GARCIA
Give 'em everything we got.
We see Sean looking on from a convoy in the desert as American planes fly overhead. We can barely make out missles in the distance being dropped over a large city. A mushroom cloud soon surrounds the city in the massive explosion, leveling the city completely.

We see Sean slowly walking through the remains of a partially destroyed house, his rifle pointed cautiously in the air. He turns a corner of the hallway when, suddenly, he hits the floor at the sound of a long spray of bullets. One catches the side of his leg and he lays on the ground, incapacitated. As he holds his leg in pain, Frank Abbadon emerges from the darkness and stands over him, pistol in hand. He kicks away Sean's rifle and presses his pistol against his head.
FRANK
Say goodbye, little boy.
