Confrontation
Heller exits the building, and is contacted by Dana, where he furiously exclaims that Alex has Amaya now. Dana concedes to the fact that her brother is no longer alive in that thing, and tells Heller to do whatever must be done. Heller runs at top speed to the point of no return. Upon arrival, Heller is confronted by Mercer and a good many Evolved, including Galloway. Mercer goes on to explain that he will infect humanity, to create a New World, with Amaya at the epicenter of it. He declares that the only obstacle left between him and his goal is Heller himself. So he mass consumes his remaining Evolved, and becomes powerful enough to kill and consume James Heller. The Final Battle has begun!

After Mercer’s memories reveal Amaya and Dana’s location, Heller unleashes a massive Devastator that decimates the Infected population and all biomass of the Red Zone, liberating it from infestation and ending Mercer Virus’ outbreak for good. Locating the bank vault, Heller expresses relief that Amaya is safe, but is also depressed at Amaya’s fear of his infection. Later, as Dana and Amaya stare at the dawn, Heller decides to walk away, having no place in Amaya’s life anymore, but is stopped by Amaya, and they embrace. Dana asks the solemn question: “What do we do now?” as the sun rises over the New York that liberated from virus…
