Left Behind: World at War

The Tribulation Force infiltrates a Global Community compound and begins stealing Bibles. Guards are quickly overwhelmed, and Chris uses kung fu to disable the defense while the others escape with the loot. The raid demonstrates the group's willingness to confront GC directly.

In Washington, D.C., Mallory informs Fitzhugh about Nicolae's biological attack plans. Before he can relay the information, Mallory is killed in an ambush, and a militia comes to the President's aid. The threat from Nicolae becomes personal for Fitzhugh.

Bruce Barnes marries Buck to Chloe and Rayford to Amanda White in a ceremony at the Trib Force underground HQ. The event gives the team a moment of normalcy amid escalating global chaos. It also signals shifts in membership and alliances within the group.

After the ceremony, Buck Williams heads to Los Angeles to continue his mission and monitor GC activity. His departure marks the start of a new phase in their coordinated resistance. The journey foreshadows upcoming confrontations with Nicolae’s regime.

Meanwhile, Rayford Steele flies to New Babylon to pursue leads and connect with allies abroad. The mission highlights the global scale of the Trib Force's struggle. The journey also sets up potential later reunions with Buck and other members.

Nicolae Meets Fitzhugh and shares concerns about Mallory's death while reconciling with Carolyn Miller, who poses as Nicolae's top aide. Miller recruits Fitzhugh for a clandestine operation against Nicolae and uncovers the plan to steal Bibles and lace them with anthrax. The seeds of a deadly conspiracy are sown.

The Global Community thwarts the Trib Force's escape plan, forcing Fitzhugh to retreat. He then attempts to shoot Nicolae in his office, but the rounds pass through Nicolae and strike a guard, revealing the fragility of their positions. The failed attack marks a turning point in Fitzhugh's arc.

Using supernatural abilities, Nicolae throws Fitzhugh out of a 20-story window. Fitzhugh miraculously survives, crawls up, and walks away, leaving Nicolae shocked and the militia skeptical of the threat Fitzhugh posed. The antagonist's seemingly invincible aura is reinforced for now.

Fitzhugh returns to the militia base to report his failure, but is met with disbelief and skepticism. Carolyn Miller bears the emotional toll of the setback. The unit's morale suffers as trust in Fitzhugh wanes.

World War III encroaches on the Trib Force's underground HQ, infecting Bruce and Chloe with a virulent bacteria. In a surprising turn, Chloe survives when the red wine used in their communion acts as an antidote. The group's faith is tested as the world falls apart around them.

Buck Williams meets Fitzhugh amid the ruins of the White House and helps the President toward a personal conversion. The meeting provides a rare glimmer of hope and a personal transformation amidst the chaos. The scene also reinforces the idea that unlikely alliances still matter.

Fitzhugh activates a personal transmitter and dials Carolyn to reveal the key conversation, intending to obliterate the GC headquarters with a missile. The plan backfires as the transmitter location is exposed, and Fitzhugh dies in the resulting explosion that wipes out the GC base. Nicolae survives the blast, emerging from the flames unharmed.

Buck receives a call from Chloe in an elevator, telling him about the wine antidote and Bruce's death. He vows to return home, but the moment ends with Carolyn appearing armed and Buck signaling that they must talk. The scene leaves an uneasy tension as the last alliance remains fragile.

With the GC base largely destroyed, Nicolae walks out from the flames angrily but unscathed. The victory is Pyrrhic, signaling that his rise to power is far from finished. The ending sets up an ominous cliffhanger for future confrontations.
