At the same time, Solomon takes aim from behind close at the parked cars and kills the operative that would've otherwise shot and killed a then disarmed Dimitri. But as Solomon rescued Dimitri, this costs the two a availing asset in the Iranian nuclear program because the American operatives takes Khalaji.

It was the first time for Blackburn to see Solomon, which was hidden amongst the remains of a crumbled building.

His terror cells targeted both Paris and New York City.

Blackburn aboards onto the next car via emerging from the window before it explodes. When he sees Solomon inside, he shoots Blackburn, but Blackburn somehow survives and makes it to the front of the train.

Solomon surprisingly seizes Blackburn, and threatens him with his gun so he can find out if the Marine is alone. Blackburn uses this advantage to break free of Solomon's grip, and overpowers the PLR operative with the detonator to the explosives on the train. Solomon states that Blackburn is good and Solomon is not afraid, and asks the question how about the Marine. Blackburn, in response, detonates the explosives to stop Solomon from achieving his objective.

However Solomon, Blackburn and the remains of the PLR survives the blast, with Solomon and his men fleeing through the subway tunnels with the nuclear device, chased after by Blackburn. When Solomon drives a SUV, he is driven off the road by Blackburn and Montes, who have commandeered a police car.

Death

Dazed by the crash, Solomon recovers in time to kill David Montes before Montes can kill him, claiming, "It's not about winning." He then tries to shoot Blackburn, only to be out of ammunition. This allows Blackburn to take opportunity to attach himself to Solomon with handcuffs, and the pair fight each other, with Solomon knocking Blackburn by pinning him to the hood of a car and punching him many times.

As Blackburn falls to the ground, Solomon tries to activate the nuclear case, but Blackburn trips him up before picking up a brick and bludgeoning him repeatedly with it, killing him in the process. With the final nuke secured at Blackburn's hands and with the other PLR plotters either dead or arrested, Solomon's plot to destroy New York City ends with him.
