While Matthias searches Quaid's memories, Lori and Cohaagen storm the Resistance base. Lori pursues the pair, but they manage to escape. Quaid is confused and unsure what to do until he noticed a tear on Melina's cheek and shoots Harry. Harry tells Quaid that killing Melina is the only way out. The police arrive and Harry appears, trying to convince Quaid that he is still in a Rekall-induced dream. Melina revealed that she was Hauser's lover before he was captured, comparing their matching scars from a time they were shot while holding hands in Quaid's "dream". Hauser had seen a "kill code", which could be recovered from his memory by Matthias, the Resistance leader, in order to disable the robots. The recording reveals that Cohaagen would use an army of robots to wipe out the Colony, replace the Colonists as laborers, therefore giving the UFB more living space.

Inside it Quaid finds a message from himself with the address of an apartment in UFB. After Quaid escapes, he receives a phone call from Charles Hammond, a former colleague of his who directs him to a safe-deposit box.
