The cult crashes the helicopter while the team arrests Joseph and takes him by helicopter. Joseph escapes and orders the cult members to catch the cops.
The Tension Grows

Meanwhile, the character named John starts tattooing Hudson's sins on his skin to cleanse and purify him, with a cable broadcast in the region.

As a result of the Resistance's counterattack, Hudson escapes and John escapes.
Meet Jacob
Deputy heads to the next area, the Whitetail Mountains, to stop Joseph. In this region, there is a high-ranking boss in the sect named Jacob. Jacob is the person responsible for the training of the members of the sect. During training, Jacob brainwashes the cult members, manipulates them, and conditions them to a certain thought.

However, Deputy somehow survives and defeats Jacob, flooding the bunker.
Faith, Joseph's assistant sister, produces a gas called Bliss. This gas makes people vulnerable to hypnosis. Bliss is a chemical weapon that puts people in a trance to keep them in a trance for a long time. Deputy finds the production area of this gas and destroys the production.
