<P> Creasy finally wakes in the vet hospital, and learns from Rayburn about the foiled ransom and Pita's death . Against the doctor's advice that his wounds could kill him, Creasy leaves before the hospital to start his own investigation . He goes to Pita's room, looking for her notebook for a suspicious license plate she once recorded, when Lisa appears and approves of his intention to kill everyone involved in Pita's abduction . Rayburn helps Creasy purchase multiple black market weapons and explosives . Mariana Guerrero, Manzano's girlfriend and a journalist investigating kidnappings, convinces Manzano that they should provide logistical support . </P> <P> Pita's license plate note leads Creasy to Jorge Gonzalez, the thug he saw dragging Pita away . Gonzalez turns out to be another PJF cop, who reveals (when tortured by Creasy) that he is a member of a criminal syndicate called "La Hermandad". He gives Creasy information on the operatives involved in the next stage of the kidnapping . Creasy tortures (then brutally kills) his way up the chain of command . The trail leads to PJF Lt. Fuentes, who is revealed to be the "president" of La Hermandad . Fuentes reveals that his men stole the ransom (a regular part of their illegal activities), but that the bags only held 25% of the ransom . In a failed attempt to have Creasy spare his life, Fuentes reveals that lawyer Kalfus was the last to handle the ransom bags, tying him to the missing $7.5 million . </P> <P> Creasy finds Kalfus dead at home, and also finds evidence of questionable financial dealings with Samuel, linking Samuel to the kidnapping . When he confronts Samuel and Lisa, Samuel confesses to Creasy and Lisa that he agreed to Kalfus' plan to work with The Voice to stage Pita's kidnapping . He needed $5 million of the K&R policy to pay off gambling debts he inherited from his father, splitting the rest between Kalfus and The Voice; he had not anticipated Fuentes' corruption and betrayal would ruin the plan and get Pita killed . Samuel held Kalfus responsible for the botched drop (since he had personally brought Fuentes in to assist in the scheme) and confesses to killing him . An enraged Lisa demands that Creasy kill Samuel; Creasy instead leaves Samuel with a pistol and the misfired round, which Samuel uses to commits suicide . </P> <P> Using information provided by Creasy, Manzano is able to identity as Daniel Sanchez, who Mariana then exposes on the front page of her newspaper . Creasy sneaks into the home of Daniel's brother, Aurelio, finding Daniel's pregnant estranged wife and three of his children staying there as well . Aurelio shoots Creasy, but Creasy ties him up, tortures him, and has the wife phone Daniel . Creasy threatens to kill all of Daniel's family unless he gives himself up, but Daniel for Creasy himself . After Daniel is able to provide confirmation that Pita is alive, Creasy agrees to the demands . Creasy calls Lisa with the news and has her join him at the exchange, having her hold a shotgun to Aurelio's head to ensure the exchange happens . Creasy and Pita embrace and briefly talk at the midpoint of the exchange . Pita runs to her mother, who releases Aurelio while Creasy surrenders to the kidnappers . As Lisa and Pita drive away, Creasy succumbs to multiple gunshot wounds and dies in the kidnapper's car . Manzano, knowing Pita is free and Creasy is dead, kills Daniel during his "arrest". </P>
