The team manages just to withdraw unseen, but Jason refuses to give up or salvage only the crucial research Jin secretly copied, so they decide to try again without Kwan, even though this may mean missing heir extraction deadline. They reach Jin and convince the frightened, slow senior to hobble along after switching footwear with poor Clay and slipping past the compound guards. Seeing the North Koreans report the escape, general Parham says the big picture any risk of nuclear conflict far outweighs leaving Jin and his own SEAL team behind, so refuses to stretch the deadline. The men make it, but doubts arise if Ray and even Jason are still up to it and stir conflicts.
