The Marine 4: Moving Target

Jake Carter and the Hawthorne team await the handoff of Liv Tanis, an IT engineer carrying critical Genesis intel. The mood is tense as they set up protective custody and scan the perimeter for threats. Liv's arrival marks the fragile first line of defense against a conspiracy that runs deep within Genesis.

Genesis mercenaries ambush the convoy, turning a routine transfer into a deadly fight for survival. Daniels is killed, and Jake fights to shield Liv while stealing a mercenary vehicle to gain distance. The plan for a quiet handoff quickly unravels as gunfire closes in.

Jake and Liv reach a desolate safe house to regroup, but trust is frayed as Liv questions Jake's loyalty. She grabs Jake's gun and insists on a real plan to reach safety, while the danger outside intensifies. Two DOJ agents, Nate and Ethan, arrive with their own hidden agenda.

Ethan shoots Nate after Nate reveals Vogel's involvement and the scale of Genesis' betrayal. It becomes clear that Ethan is colluding with the mercenaries, and their hunt for Liv grows more ruthless. The fragile line between ally and traitor fades in a moment of brutal treachery.

Liv escapes the house as alarms scream and Jake drives to safety, commandeering a mercenary boat to put distance between them and their pursuers. The escape buys time but the chase remains relentless, with gunfire echoing through the water and shore. They reframe their alliance under pressure to survive.

The couple push through the countryside on foot, with Liv wary of Jake’s loyalties and Jake insisting that sticking together is their only shot. They press on through fields and woods, driven by a shared will to reach safety. The pace quickens as dawn approaches.

Liv hits the highway and accepts a ride in a trailer truck, hoping to reach the nearest police station. Jake follows their trail and spots a passing police car that could lead to safety, fueling a tense game of cat-and-mouse. The pursuit stretches into the day as the stakes stay high.

At the police station, Det. Paul Redman tries to verify Jake's identity and coordinate Liv's safety. The tension spikes as Ethan’s proximity to the mercenaries undermines the operation, and the station is overrun by attackers. Jake and Liv seize a chance to slip away into the night.

The attackers intensify, triggering a brutal chase through woods as Vogel’s forces try to close the net. Vogel's men are decimated but not defeated, and Ethan remains relentless in his pursuit of Liv. Liv and Jake clash with the mercenaries in a survival-driven battle under the cover of darkness.

A violent confrontation leaves Vogel wounded and Jake momentarily stunned, while Liv shoots Ethan in the head. Amid the chaos, Liv completes a critical data dump, uploading Genesis' corrupt military operations to a dozen news sites so the truth goes public. The information radiates outward, threatening the corporation's control.

Jake recovers and defeats Vogel in a final, brutal struggle, snapping Vogel's neck. The immediate threat is neutralized, and the exposure of Genesis' conspiracy gains undeniable momentum. Liv's information starts to ripple through the media, indicting key players.

In the aftermath, six Genesis Defense Corporation members are indicted as the truth goes public. Liv and Jake share a quiet kiss and Liv provides Jake with a fresh tuxedo, signaling a possible new life together. The future remains uncertain, but justice feels within reach.

Liv boards a nearby plane, carrying the incriminating evidence and a chance at a safer life. Jake watches the plane lift off, hopeful that justice will follow and that they might find a future together, despite the uncertain road ahead. The mission ends with a fragile glimmer of peace and possibility.
