Den of Vipers

Left alone, Roxy thinks about setting up a fund in her surrogate father’s name with the money she now has. When she grows bored, she enlists the help of her bodyguard to break into the Vipers’ armory and retrieve the baseball bat she once used on Garrett. Her insurgence earns her a call from Ryder, and they have phone sex. He promises to be back in an hour. She then receives a message from Garrett’s phone, asking for help and to meet him at a hotel. She leaves to meet him with her bodyguards.

Decked out in weapons, Roxy arrives at the hotel with her bodyguards, and they are immediately attacked by gunmen. She defends herself against four of them but is eventually knocked unconscious. When she rouses, she feigns sleep to take in her surroundings: She is now a captive without weapons, and they are driving to an unknown location. Using the pointed heel on her shoe, however, she kills all three men in the car. The car spins out of control and is then hit by a second car. Crawling out of the wreckage, she defends herself as best she can until they inject her with something, and she once again falls unconscious.

Ryder is running late to his rendezvous with Roxy when he sees the missed calls and messages that inform him Roxy has been kidnapped. Garrett sends him a video from traffic footage that shows Roxy attempting to fight back against her assailants. Furious, Ryder calls the Triad’s family restaurant and leaves a message promising their deaths in horrific ways. He picks up Kenzo and brings him up to speed. Kenzo lashes out from worry, and Ryder promises they’ll find her, save her, and destroy those who took her, while still having nagging doubts himself. Ryder plans to hunt anyone and everyone who’s ever worked for the Triad from the ground up to stoke fear and dissent.

Diesel has killed four people already and is losing his grip on his anger as he panics over Roxy. He and Garrett meet Ryder and Kenzo at the warehouse with all their men; eight people who’ve worked for the Triad kneel before them. They kill them one by one until one confesses the Triad is keeping Roxy at one of the Vipers’ safe houses. Garrett proposes to find Daphne and then confronts the others on why she’s still alive. Diesel confirms she was tied down and meant to burn in a building he lit on fire. Ryder orders Diesel to let loose as a fatal message to the Triad before convening with Kenzo to figure out which safe house they’re using.

Garrett frets over Roxy and blames himself because Daphne was able to manipulate him. Cherry calls Garrett to tell him the men he’d sent to follow Daphne have turned up dead. They arrive at a convenience store owned by a man who worked for the Triad, and Garrett pummels him to death. He allows another man in the store to live so that he can inform the others that Garrett and the other Vipers are coming for them. They decide to hit the market next; Diesel spies someone who looks like Roxy. When it isn’t her, he is rattled and more murderous.

Despite calls coming in from former members of the Triad, Kenzo still feels anxious. He and Ryder go over the possible safe houses the Triad might use, and together they figure out they must be using their father’s old hotel, the place where they grew up, were abused, and, eventually, killed their father. After promising not to attend to old ghosts, they call in Garrett and Diesel.

Roxy wakes up hanging upside down from the ceiling. A man and two of his minions arrive, and they beat her to know how to kill the Vipers. She snarks and refuses, and they beat her more. She falls unconscious again, and when she next wakes, she is strapped to a chair. She worries about how her death might affect the Vipers. Two men enter, and the bald man hits her multiple times after she provokes him. The other man, Andrew, stops him and sends him away. Alone, he tortures her by cutting her with a knife to extract information. No matter how much pain he inflicts, however, Roxy never answers, insulting him instead. He eventually leaves to update his boss on his progress. Despite being battered and having several broken bones, Roxy attempts to escape by deliberately falling and breaking her chair. When the bald henchman comes to check on her, she smashes a piece of the chair in his face.

Ryder tells his men and the other Vipers their plan of attack. Garrett uses a grenade launcher to create an explosion, and they all swarm into the gunfight. The four Vipers stick together, heading down the levels, as Ryder knows that is where they are most likely to keep Roxy. In the basement, they hear a familiar yell. They move together, killing everyone in their path until they find Roxy smashing the butt of a gun in a man’s face. They gather, reveling in their reunion. Ryder sets Roxy’s dislocated arm as Diesel rages that she left them behind. Promising punishment, they all file out to kill the remaining Triad members in the building.

As they leave the basement, they banter about Diesel’s unicorn fanny pack. They get back to the first level of the hotel and clear all the rooms one by one, killing as they go. Garrett and Kenzo team up and go to the roof, where they are ambushed. Garrett loses consciousness as he hears Kenzo scream for him.

Still on edge, Diesel, Ryder, and Roxy continue to clear out rooms. A grenade is tossed at them, but Roxy beats it away with a baseball bat they picked up along the way. They arrive at a conference room, where Ryder gets strangely quiet. At Ryder’s order, Diesel tosses in one of the grenades in his fanny pack. They find one of the Triad leaders. They stab him, but he laughs at them and tells them Garrett is missing. Roxy kills him with her bat, and Ryder orders them to focus on retrieving Garrett.

Roxy, Ryder, and Diesel find a stabbed Kenzo on the roof, with Garrett nowhere in sight. Diesel carries Kenzo down to the lobby, then to the car, and they rush to bring him to a doctor. They try to keep Kenzo awake, and Roxy agrees to marry them all if he stays alive. They arrive at the Viper tower’s parking garage and hand Kenzo to security guards who will bring him to a doctor. Roxy gathers weapons, and by the time she returns to the garage, Diesel has learned where another leader of the Triad is hiding. He drives the three of them to the Triad’s family restaurant. They seat themselves, and Roxy demands to know where Garrett is. When the man insults her, she takes Ryder’s gun and shoots five henchmen. After much threatening, the leader gives over the address and tells them to expect 30 of their men, his last remaining brother, and Garrett’s ex-girlfriend. He pleads with them not to kill his wife, and Roxy kills him before they leave to save Garrett.

Garrett wakes up bound to a bed. Daphne comes into the room and promises to finish what she started and kill him. She provokes him and promises to use the same knife she’d used when she tore up his chest and left him with his scars. When he reins in his fear and doesn’t rise to her provocations, however, she stabs him repeatedly.

Roxy and the others race to the address. Ryder instructs Roxy to get Garrett out from the house while he and Diesel take care of the henchmen. When they arrive, Kenzo is there too, refusing to leave Garrett behind. Diesel blows up the front door, and Roxy uses it as cover to slip in and find Garrett. After going through many of the rooms, she finds Daphne mid-stab motion while straddling Garrett. She beats Daphne to death with her bat, then turns her attention to Garrett. Still in the throes of terror, he does not recognize her and chokes her when she frees him. Roxy, however, does not resist, and it is her compliance that breaks him out of his mindset. Amid his apologies, she comforts him and then helps him out of the room. They meet with Ryder, who helps them into the car. On the way, Roxy sees Sam, her old bodyguard, has been killed. Before they leave, Diesel explodes the house.

They rush Garrett to a doctor, but he is fading fast. Roxy pleads with him to stay alive and not to leave her like everyone in her life. They arrive at the apartment, and the doctor sedates him to work on his injuries. Kenzo is sent back to a doctor, too. Diesel brings Roxy to a bathroom and cleans her. He talks to her to calm her and tells her about how he never found his father. When Garrett makes it through the night, they know he will survive. Diesel ponders over how much Roxy has changed their lives by giving them a home and love. Ryder then takes time off to be with his family.

Kenzo, Garrett, and Roxy share a bed as they heal. Ryder and Diesel have captured the third and final leader of the Triad, and they break all his bones and skin him alive in Diesel’s basement before eventually killing him.
