But David was seen by the security guard. David tried to get away with Millie but was send to the police station.

After staying 8 hours and waiting to be charged, Mary Rice, David's mother appeared and gave him the key to escape. David quickly got himself free and brought Millie to the airport. Leaving Millie to fly back to USA by herself, David teleport himself to Griffin's hideout in a dessert. Apparently, Griffin has been traced down paladins and tried to eliminate them. Griffin also tell him that Jumper is unable to teleport when they are attacked by electrical shock. When David teleport back to his house to question his father why Mary leave him when he was five, he found the father was murdered.

Roland and gang reached when the couple teleport away, they used the hight wave electrical supply and open the door of the teleporting. The paladins managed to get into Griffin's hideout and the fight begins. Expert fighter Griffin managed to beat the paladins away but Millie was caught by Roland and tie up in her own apartment. To save his love one, David went over there and tried to teleport the whole building away. David managed to use his strong will and move the house into an ocean and back to the library again. Roland was there as well. Finally David teleport Roland onto a hole in a dessert which no one will ever go there.

David finally traced down where Mary is. It seems like Mary is one of the paladin, to make sure her son is safe, she has to leave for his own good. In the end, David left and brought Millie along.
