The road in front of the bus explodes. Woodchuck is knocked unconscious. Another explosion goes off behind the bus. As the students try to orient themselves and evacuate, a voice over a bullhorn rings out, announcing that Ben’s 24 hours are up and that he must surrender or the bus will be blown up. Claire tells Ben to surrender. As Ben goes to leave the bus, Alexander Hale grabs him and tells him to run. He drags Ben away from the bus; Ben looks back and sees two men on a cliff above readying a grenade launcher.

Ben digs in his feet to escape Alexander’s hold. He shouts that he will surrender to SPYDER, but the agents seem to ignore him. Before the agents can fire at the bus again, someone on board shoots the grenade launcher out of the enemy’s hands; it bounces down onto the roof of the bus. Erica grabs it and chases after Alexander and Ben, gaining enough distance that she can fire the grenade launcher at the enemy agents. The agents fly into the ravine.

Erica tells Alexander to be useful for once and cover their escape, then she grabs Ben and starts running.
