Synopsis: In the past, a group of mercenaries are trying to find somewhere safe after two of them are killed by Logan. They are soon attacked in a cabin, and Logan takes out Van Slyke before disappearing into the woods. That night, their leader, Malone, dreams of how Logan took out Shelly and Schmidt, forcing them to travel hundreds of miles away to safety. Logan has followed them all the way. Logan makes an appearance that night, and simply says, “Remember Iraq?” before vanishing into the woods again. The mercs follow him outside and find Rollins dead. With just Bruno, Malone and Needle still alive, they take a canoe and head down river. Malone figures this has to do with an incident in Iraq five years ago tomorrow. They were hired to storm the American Embassy. There, Malone abused a nun before escaping by the skin of his teeth when the Embassy was attacked. Logan manages to destroy their canoe and kills Needle. Bruno then figures that, if he kills Malone, whose idea the Iraq job was in the first place, Logan might let him live. Malone kills him before he gets the chance. Malone heads down the shoreline, until he runs out of both energy and land. Logan appears beside him, overlooking a precipice, which drops into a ravine. Logan informs Malone that the nun was Canadian, and she had told him in her dying breath to ensure they suffered as she had. Logan was angry that they had taken away her spirit and her soul to the point where she could not forgive them. Malone points out that he’s a day early, but Logan tells him he forgets the time zone. Iraq is a day ahead of them. Malone takes his own life rather than be butchered by Logan, and Logan heads off with no sense of satisfaction coming from his actions. In the present, Karma offers Logan a drink. She comments that he was lost in thought. Logan replies that he was thinking of a man who avenged a nun once. He was a different man to Logan; more of a loner and more vicious, but less of a man. He accepts the drink, figuring this’ll be a long night.
