Charlie sends the entire island staff to a Sandals resort in Grenada, and the Convocation arrives. Alongside Gratas, Harden, Ji-Jong, and Petersson are two additional members, Jean Arcement and Deiter Weiss. Tobias accompanies them as their sole security. The Convocation members struggle with the hand scanners before eventually gaining access to the storeroom. Inside, the vast space is filled with crates, reminiscent of scenes from Raiders of the Lost Ark. Petersson comments that all these items belong to them. However, Gratas clarifies that they are his property before abruptly shooting Petersson. Tobias swiftly eliminates Arcement and Weiss, then Harden and Kim. As he lies dying, Harden questions Gratas about his motives. Gratas explains it is all for the sake of money.
Gratas and Tobias contemplate shooting Charlie, who informs them that Morrison rigged their tender with a bomb that will detonate if he does not return alive. Reluctantly, Gratas and Tobias agree to spare Charlie's life. Gratas then dispatches Tobias to fetch tools to open the crates.
Gratas reveals to Charlie his motive for eliminating the other members: There was not enough money to cover everyone's debts. When Tobias returns with the tools, they discover the crates are empty. Panic-stricken, Gratas realizes Jake planned this to dismantle the Convocation.
