As Ash defuses the final explosive Syms finds out who he is and finds his wife Melody and takes her hostage and after Ash finds the money but must confront Syms and learns the Mall’s investor Mark Burtrand stole the money and hid the money there years ago and hired Syms to steal it before it was found.
