In one bold move, a friend from his past puts Luke on the defensive, Misty in dire straits, and Harlem's safety in jeopardy.
Cage meets with Knight at Harlem's Paradise during a rally against superhumans presided by Dillard. Stryker and his men locate him and take several hostages, including Temple, while Cage and an injured Knight barricade themselves in a secret basement. Stryker frames Cage for the crisis and threatens to execute innocents, forcing Cage to surrender, leading to a shootout during which the police storms the building and Stryker escapes, while Cage is arrested despite the public's pleas that he is innocent.
