Blaming the Cartel for her brother's death, Asuka has the Yakuza seize the site, and tortures Catalina's partner Miguel (Al Espinosa), whom she left behind, for information on the Cartel's operations, which Claude subsequently hits, earning Catalina's wrath. In retaliation, she murders Asuka and Miguel, and kidnaps Maria, ransoming her for $500,000. When Claude meets with Catalina to hand over the ransom payment, she double-crosses him once again, and leaves him to be killed, but he escapes from the trap and pursues Catalina, eventually shooting down her helicopter. With Maria saved, she and Claude flee the scene, though as she begins to complain about what happened to her, a gunshot rings out, and Maria's voice is silenced.
