How Family Ties Pull Tyler Rake Out Of Retirement & Back Into Action

Family is an important motivating factor in the first "Extraction" as well. In that film, Tyler Rake must rescue Ovi (Rudhraksh Jaiswal), the son of powerful crime lord played by Pankaj Tripathi who threatens to kill former Indian military leader Saju Rav (Randeep Hooda)'s son if he doesn't agree to help. Through this storyline, viewers learn that Rake's son died of lymphoma while he was away working for Australian special forces. The responsibility Rake develops for Ovi and his subsequent interest in helping out his ex-wife Mia's family in "Extraction 2," then, all stems from the guilt he feels over his absence from his son's life and death.

During their final "Extraction 2" conversation, however, Mia tells Rake that their son found his father's strength inspirational while attempting to combat the disease that was taking his life. This moment, then, leaves Rake effectively absolved of his biggest sin. That said, "Extraction 2" practically guarantees a sequel in its final sequence, in which Alcott requests that Rake and Nik undertake a new mission at the behest of his mysterious boss. So, while family may motivate Rake no longer, his story will most likely continue under new pretenses.
