His son is left badly injured by the attack, and as John watches his only son slipping away, he is forced to face a terrifying truth: no matter how far you try to run from your past, it will always find you. With his whole world hanging by a thread, John realises that his only option is to leave his family at the time they need him most, and return to the world he left behind.
