Kaine remembers his birth from a clone casket and his rejection by the Jackal as he rescues all from the burning diner except Ben and Janine, with whom he wishes to die. He pleads with them to welcome death, but Ben begs Kaine to let Janine live. Kaine, reluctant, saves them both just as the building explodes, wall-crawling them away to a nearby rooftop. Their freedom, he announces, has come with a price: they must kill him. Ben declines, not able to thank him enough nor able to kill him, instead telling Kaine that he must take him in.
A fight on the rooftops breaks out, and the police, arriving to take care of the fire and survivors, recognize Kaine from the Parker trial. Officers storm the rooftop and fire at Kaine but to no avail. He knocks out the officers and takes one with him, and as Kaine poses to be killed by other police, he is saved by Reilly wearing a mask. Again Kaine wonders why Ben cannot let him die, and after realizing the answer in his own heart, waits a moment and hears that Janine will give herself up and end her running in hopes of a better tomorrow. After hearing this, Kaine admits his mistakes and turns himself in to the police as well, saying he "will never forget" Ben.
