[Cutscene: Death of An Angel]

After killing Chimera from the specimen tank, Nathan Hale spits on the ground, then turns and heads to the tank himself. He stops at the computer console in front of the tank and presses a flashing red button; the tank begins to open. Hale heads up the stairs towards it, slamming a fresh clip into his M5A2 Folsom Carbine and taking aim. Suddenly, the Angel inside the tank slams at the protective glass. Hale staggers in pain, clutching his head as the Angel smashes its way through the glass. Hale regains his senses and shoots the Angel in the face. The Angel screams and points at Hale, trying to use its power to take over his mind; Hale stops for a moment, looking confused, but then his face contorts into a snarl of anger, and he resumes shooting, firing a continuous burst into the Angel's head. The Angel tries to regain control but Hale ignores it, shooting until the Angel is dead. Hale considers its corpse for a moment, then heads for a lift to the surface. Cutscene changes to an image of Hale leaving Northern Command.

Parker (narrating): I had almost given up hope of him surviving, when I saw Hale coming up in the lift. I could tell from his face that he had found the Angel. There was no point in asking... if he was alive... then the Angel was dead.

An image of Hale and Parker inside the VTOL.

Parker (narrating): Hale was starting to show more effects of the conversion process. His movements had the unnatural quickness of the hybrids. Judging from the bullet holes in his uniform, he had acquired their healing capabilities as well.

A map of Britain, showing the Chimeran retreat from Cheshire to Somerset is shown.

Parker (narrating): We had tracked the Chimera leaving Northern Command to a gorge in Somerset. Cartwright led a squad of soldiers after them. It had been two hours since he had reported in...

An image of Hale arriving in Somerset just after departing from the VTOL hovering behind him.

Parker (narrating): Hale volunteered to go after them. I expected he would locate Cartwright. There was no way I could have imagined what else he would discover in that gorge...

Parker (narrating): He must have known Hale was infected when they first met in Nottingham.

Cartwright stands up and walk slowly towards Hale as he cocks his sniper rifle. Hale look at Cartwright's L23 Fareye for one second and then he look back at Cartwright. Cartwright stop right in front of him and they look each other for a moment. Cartwright then reach for his car key in his left trouser pocket and throw it to Hale, who catches and looks at it.
