Treason revealed:
However, Bishop's world takes a dark turn when he is given a new mission: to kill Harry himself. The fateful request comes from the dean, who confirms to the bishop the authenticity of the mission. In a face-to-face meeting, Dean reveals a botched mission in South Africa, where the agency's assassins were killed.

At the funeral, Bishop meets Harry's reckless son, Steve, who is seeking revenge on the alleged car thief.
An unlikely alliance:
Bishop stops Steve from a misguided vendetta and convinces him to enter the world of mechanics.

Revenge and reckoning:
After being ambushed by professional killers working for Dean, Bishop narrowly escapes. After discovering that Dean orchestrated Harry's death, Bishop sets out to confront him. However, Steve falls into Dean's trap and narrowly escapes an explosion, realizing Bishop's true agenda.
