It was then revealed that Reginald had ordered the siblings to disrupt an arms dealer and destroy a weapon in a container, warning them not to open it.
However, Ben, who was left behind to plant explosives, hears noises inside the container and despite Reginald's instructions, he opens it and finds a young Jennifer.
