After Garcia is rescued by a group of American soldiers, Roberta is engaged by and defeats Shenhua, Sawyer, and Lotton with non-lethal force. Confronting her, Fabiola is forced to acknowledge her chief's insanity. Regaining consciousness in the presence of the Americans, Garcia pulls a gun on their commander, Major Shane, who, after learning about Garcia's circumstances, agrees that he has a right to vengeance. Roberta attacks, interrupting the exchange, but is repelled with assistance from Hotel Moscow. Meanwhile, Rock has a meeting with Eda, and calls Dutch to arrange for the Lagoon Company to take the Americans out of town. Dutch hangs up on him, but when Chang calls for the same reason, he is left with little choice, and accepts. Finding their young employer in the hands of the Americans, Revy and Shenhua decide to attack them, but are prevented from doing so by Hotel Moscow. Garcia hands the Americans a map from Rock's envelope. Following it, they head for the coast. En route, they are again attacked by Roberta, and, again, Hotel Moscow intervenes in their favor. With Garcia, Fabiola, the Americans, and the Lagoon Company on board, the Black Lagoon sets sail for the river Mekong, while Eda manipulates Roberta into boarding an air plane with her.
