In the ruined antique shop, Lara reads a codex alongside Jake Russo and learns that distance will kill Victor. She rushes back to the Brooklyn apartment. Brotherhood captain Marcus Kane attacks to seize the ring. Victor takes a silver bullet meant for Lara. Lara blinds the squad with a flash grenade and flees into a dark alley, where undead smuggler leader Selina intercepts them in the rain.
Lara digs through debris in the antique shop while Jake Russo keeps watch. She finds a hidden codex explaining the contract. Realizing distance destroys Victor, she abandons the search and dashes back to the apartment to help him.
Lara returns to find Victor's body fading. Marcus Kane leads Brotherhood members inside to take the relic. When Marcus shoots at Lara, Victor absorbs the silver bullet to protect her. Lara drops a flash grenade so they can escape.
Lara supports Victor through a dark alley in the driving rain. The silver round makes his soul dissipate continuously. Selina appears holding a black umbrella to block their way, ordering them to hand over the relic immediately.
“Equivalent exchange. The bride of death shares his power and curse, until the soul is fully stripped.”
“Shut up. Until the bond breaks, you only die by my hand.”
“Give me the ring, or I'll send you both to the underworld together.”
Victor lies weakened on the wet ground as the silver bullet accelerates his soul's dissolution. Selina stands over them in the downpour with an open black umbrella, blocking their only escape route. She threatens to cast them both into the underworld. Can Lara protect the dying God of Death, or will Selina pry the ring from her finger?
