While in the jungles, they meet a plane passing by and Ollie shoots a flare arrow, only to be greeted with gunfire. Ollie takes them down with an arrow, and the plane lands far to the mountains. Ollie and Dinah then goes to the crash site, a field of opium poppies. It was then they discover that the guys were drug traffickers and the island is their den.

They found Ollie's yacht in which Hackett used to go to the island, where Ollie finds the bow he's bought at the auction. Rather than going back to the US, Ollie is determined to avenge Taiana and help the enslaved people of the island, with Dinah agreeing as well. **The final battle begins.**

After most of them men were defeated, Hackett were held at gunpoint by Dinah, preparing to kill him, however, Ollie protested, seeing as he deserves jail time instead, but they were interrupted by China shooting Hackett dead.
