Maguire leads his gang and the buyer to the truck, opening it to find the guns inside. Charlie says he knew Maguire would expect a swap and "the trick was there was no trick." When the FBI shows up, Maguire figures it's another scam and gets into a shootout with them. Between the guns, the millions in cryptocurrency and trying to kill federal agents, Maguire would have been doing to jail if not for a sniper taking him out.]]

A congressman, convinced of the prestige he'll get, agrees to fund the project as soon as the Department of Defense places an order.
