Outside of Midtown Manhattan, Caleb, Mitchell and Maya look on at the siege with the evacuated civilians as Maya speaks.

Maya: You'll make it, guys.....you'll make it.

In the command center, the Condemned forces are seen attacking as James, Cassandra and Marcus enter a helicopter piloted by Margret to transport the A.O.W nuke. Sarah, Shawn, Pierce and Bowers are seen in the computer room as Kyle speaks through the radio.

Kyle: Sarah? Pierce? Anyone there?

Sarah: Yeah....what's going on, Kyle?

Kyle: We're entering the cavern now. We hijacked a giant beast called a Goliath so we could-

Sarah: Wait, you did what?!

Kyle: We're riding a Goliath...we're going to use it to clear the area a whole lot faster.

Jake: For the record, I am against this crazy ass idea.

Sarah: Uh....I don't know how to react to this....except I love you and be careful....

Kyle: I love you too, Sarah....stay safe.

Condemned forces begin breaking through to the command center as Sarah, Shawn, Bowers and Pierce hold them off with retaliating gunfire. In the Condemned tunnels beneath Midtown Manhattan, Kyle and Jake control the Goliath to open fire on the attacking Condemned drones.

Kyle: Jake, I got the turrets! You get the rockets!

Jake: Rockets! Rockets! These controls are very fucking complicated!

Kyle controls the turrets while Jake controls the rocket launcher to take out the attacking Condemned army. The Condemned army retreat as Kyle and Jake continue to open fire, mowing down most of the fleeing Condemned. As Kyle and Jake continue controlling the Goliath, Condemned on turrets attempt to get a lock onto Kyle and Jake.

Jake: Kyle! Those fucking turrets are trying to get a lock on us!

Kyle: I see em! Take em out, before they got a lock on us!

Jake uses the rocket launcher to take out the turrets, before Manticores appear as Kyle guns them down. As they continue down a big tunnel, a giant Eight-Legged Titan bursts through the wall.

Kyle: Ah, fuck me! A goddamned eight-legged Titan!

The Eight-Legged Titan attacks, before the Goliath blocks and punches the Eight-Legged Titan.

Jake: C'mon, Donkey Kong! Fight back!

The Eight-Legged Titan jumps onto the Goliath, before it is thrown off into the wall. A struggle ensues as Kyle and Jake yell out, before the Goliath rips off one of the Eight Legged Titan's legs and stabs it in the torso. With the Eight-Legged Titan mortally wounded, Kyle and Jake control the Goliath to curb stomp the Eight-Legged Titan.

Jake: Yeah!

The Goliath beats on its chest, before roaring and continuing down the tunnel. The Goliath takes down the gate, before it continues wreaking havoc among the Condemned army. As they continue fighting their way through the tunnel, a torture barge appears as Kyle and Jake take it down, before taking down another gate that leads to the support beams under Midtown Manhattan.

Jake: This is it!

Kyle: Then let's take them out!

The Goliath walks into the radioactive river as it roars, before taking out the Manticores attacking. Kyle and Jake destroy first support beam as Midtown Manhattan, resulting in a part of the city sunken.

Kyle: That's one!

Kyle and Jake take out the next support beam as a fortress of the Condemned is destroyed.
