James puts on his goggles over his eyes, covering them from the snow.
Sarah: Can't see shit with this snow storm.
Kyle: But that means Taker's can't see us.
Kyle, James and Sarah sneak through courtyard, avoiding any Takers in the way or taking them out quietly. Eventually, Kyle, James and Sarah manage to make it to the train hangar and manage to sneak their way into the control turn table room. Taker members attack the three, but Kyle and Sarah manage to hold them off while James turns the turntable on. James joins the gunfight and in the midst of the fight, propane tanks are hit that cause an explosion, which causes the floor beneath the turntable control room to collapse. Kyle, James and Sarah fall to the floor below.
Sarah: Shit, that was close!
Kyle, James, and Sarah recover.
James: Look! There's a manual drive on the platform! It's gonna be hard to turn it that way, but at least it'll get the hard part done and over with!
Kyle, James and Sarah fight to the platform while James enters the train and gets to the front of the train.
James: Okay, how the fuck do I drive this thing?!
While James tampers with the train controls, more Taker guards arrive, but Kyle instantly guns them down with the assault rifle.
Kyle: They're down!
Sarah: Kyle, give me a hand here!
Kyle and Sarah turn the manual drive lever, allowing the train to be free. James starts the engine and the train moves. Kyle and Sarah manage to jump on as James pulls on the accelerator.
Taker: They're taking the train!
Taker: They're gonna ram the fucking gate!
Kyle and Sarah join James at the bridge of the train. Sarah laughs.
Sarah: We did it!
Sarah hugs Kyle, but suddenly, movement is heard on top of the train and a flash grenade is dropped into the bridge.
Kyle: Shit!
The flash grenade explodes. After the flash, Kyle awakens to find him, Sarah and James surrounded by Takers with their weapons aimed.
Taker Officer: Base, we've apprehended the engineer with his friends! Kyle Desipich and his wife! Over!
The officer's radio is broadcasting feedback. As this is happening, Kyle looks up to one of the Takers, who winks at him.
Taker Officer: Roger that, base!
The Taker Officer turns to the other Takers.
Taker Officer: All right....the engineer's gonna be our prisoner. We could use a man of his skill....as for these two, kill them.
The two Takers nods and aim their weapons at Kyle, but suddenly, the two Takers aim their weapons at the other two Takers and shoot.
Taker Officer: What the fuck are you doing?!
The two other Taker grabs the Taker officer and his accomplice and force them on their knees while the other female Takers pull out their knives at put it to the others throats.
Joseph: Get on your knees!
Rocky: Get down, bitch!
Marcus: Shut up!
Cassandra: Be smart.
The Takers holding the officer and the accomplice at gunpoint take off their disguises, revealing to be Shawn, Caleb, Marcus, Rocky, Joseph, Cassandra and Margaret. Rachel and Abigail walk onto the bridge of the train, before Kyle laughs and helps Sarah.
