Deveraux enlists Payu, ex-Thai Special Forces and Long Fei, ex-Chinese Special Forces, on a humanitarian mission in Thailand to free prisoners. Unbeknownst to Payu and Long, Deveraux and his crew consisting of Mook, Joey, Steiner and Dom actually want to use this mission to free their leader Collins, a terrorist. Deveraux and his crew shoot up the village guarded by Indonesian soldiers, waking up Jaka and killing his wife. During the ensuing chaos, Payu and Jaka fight, but get interrupted when Mook shoots a grenade at Jaka, knocking him out.
Collins is later freed and Deveraux double-crosses Payu and Long to tie up loose ends, knocking them down into a cage. Collins sets a bomb to burn down the evidence. Payu and Long free the remaining prisoners and barely escape. Jaka wakes up and sees his village in shambles. After burying his wife and the villagers, Jaka swears vengeance against Payu and the people responsible for the destruction of his village. A few days later, Jaka learns that Payu and Long are participating in an illegal boxing ring in Maha Jaya.
