He finds the complex bomb and manages to defuse it in time. They arrive too late but are able to catch up to Kate, and Dove jumps into her car. The two race back to the city, hoping to stop Kate before she starts the car. Dove is saved by Franklin at the last second, having followed Dove to the ship, and the two escape in time before the ship explodes, killing Gaerity in the process. Dove gains the upper hand, and handcuffs himself to Gaerity, preventing him from leaving, preparing to die to keep his secret and prevent any more deaths. Dove engages with Gaerity in a large mêlée fight throughout the ship. Gaerity reveals that he has set up another bomb in Kate's car and arms it via radio signal, then activates a Rube Goldberg-esque mechanism to trigger an even larger set of explosives that will destroy the ship.

In analyzing the bomb's debris, Dove finds a roulette ball that points to the abandoned ship, where he finds Gaerity. Dove tracks down Max, and goes to retrieve his tools, but Max, realizing that Gaerity had created the bomb to kill both of them, intentionally triggers the bomb while Dove is away, sacrificing himself. Max decides to try to stop Gaerity himself, trying to get close to him at an Irish bar, but instead ends up captured by him, and latched into a makeshift bomb. Gaerity's third bomb almost kills rookie technician Anthony Franklin, who has linked Dove's former life to Gaerity, but Dove rescues him and Franklin promises Dove any assistance he can offer. He explains his true past to Kate, and convinces her and Elizabeth to go into hiding at Max's seaside cottage. He rushes home and finds no bomb, but his dog, "Boomer," has been killed. Dove receives a call from Gaerity and realizes that Kate and his stepdaughter Elizabeth are in danger. Later, at the site of a fake bomb threat, technicians Rita and Cortez are killed by an explosive hidden in their bomb disposal robot. Gaerity sets up bombs specifically designed to kill the rest of the bomb squad: the first victim, Blanket, is killed by a bomb placed under a bridge on the night of Dove's wedding to his fiancee Kate. He takes a job as a janitor at the police station to learn more about Dove's present life and his co-workers.

Gaerity sees Dove on TV and makes his way to Boston, taking residence in an abandoned casino boat. Only Dove's uncle, retired Boston police officer Max O'Bannon, is aware of his past and encourages Dove to retire early, feeling he has done his penance. Devastated, McGivney moved to Boston and took on a new identity, hoping to find atonement in saving others by defusing bombs. He had been friends with Gaerity, but when Gaerity tried to set off a bomb that would have killed numerous civilians, he interceded, ending in the death of his girlfriend (Gaerity's sister), and leading to Gaerity's imprisonment. Dove hides that he is really Liam McGivney, a former member of a Northern Ireland terrorist cell. In Boston, Lieutenant James "Jimmy" Dove is a veteran member of the police force's bomb squad, on the verge of retirement and helping to train newer recruits. Irish Republican Army fighter Ryan Gaerity escapes from his cell in a castle prison in Northern Ireland after turning a toilet into a bomb, killing a guard and his cellmate in the process.
