Plot[]
The film opens with Alma swinging on a swing next to a tree, but before Becket can get close the screen fades out and Becket then experiences a hallucination involving a ruined city, where he sees Alma walking along and precedes to follow her to a hole that goes back to the real world where Becket and the team are preparing for a mission. As he recovers, Alma's child form grabs him before suddenly disappearing, with it turning out to be Redd Jankowski (a teammate of his squad), before he is sat down by Lt Stokes who initializes his visor. Becket's squad arrives at the penthouse complex where Aristide lives, only to find it under assault by a black ops team of mercenaries dispatched by Armacham's Board of Directors. After saving Aristide, Becket uncovers hints of a project known as "Harbinger," which involves himself and several of his teammates. Aristide claims that Becket and his team are the only way to stop Alma, but before she can elaborate, the F.E.A.R. Point Man detonates the Origin Facility's reactor. Becket is knocked unconscious in the explosion.
When he comes to, Becket finds he is being operated on by a team of doctors under Aristide, and begins seeing more visions of Alma. After he recovers, Becket find himself in a hospital deep underground, along with the rest of his squad. The hospital comes under attack by ATC clean-up crews led by Colonel Richard Vanek, and Becket must fight his way out. While escaping, Becket receives communications over his radio from a man who calls himself "Snake Fist". On the way out of the hospital Becket finds Sgt. Redd torn up by a surgical machine. After escaping the hospital and confronting the commander of the ATC forces, Becket fights his way to the surface, encountering the reactivated Replica troops. As he moves to the surface, Becket is also repeatedly physically assaulted in hand-to-hand combat by Alma, who Snake Fist says is trying to "absorb" Becket, drawn by the psychic energy he now emits after his operation.
After reaching the surface, Becket regroups with what is left of his team, many of whom have been systematically killed by Alma. Now consisting only of Becket himself, his superior Lieutenant Stokes, and Sergeants Manuel Morales and Harold Keegan, the squad moves to nearby Wade Elementary, an Armacham-controlled school where Snake Fist and Aristide are hiding. Once he reaches the basement, Becket discovers that the basement of the school is another Armacham research facility, for a project known as "Paragon." Here, Becket discovers that Project Harbinger was an attempt to create more psychic commanders similar to Paxton Fettel without the use of Alma Wade and that Becket and Keegan were the most promising subjects. Project Paragon, meanwhile, is intended to condition psychically-gifted children to work for ATC.
In the basement facility, Becket kills Colonel Vanek and finds Snake Fist. Snake Fist reveals himself as a researcher for Armacham, and explains that the only way to defeat Alma is to travel to an Armacham base inside a nuclear reactor underneath nearby Still Island, which houses a device that can amplify psychic power. With this device, Becket can possibly defeat Alma with his own psychic abilities. Snake Fist insists that they must leave immediately, then presents Beckett with an experimental weapon he took from the facility. Upon taking the weapon, a Replica Assassin jumps down from the ledge and decapitates Snake fist, instantly killing him.
On the route to Still Island, Becket's squad is ambushed by Replica troops, and Sergeant Keegan wanders off in a daze during the battle. Becket follows and tries to recover Keegan, but is instead delayed by Replica forces. After fighting off both the enemy soldiers and more of Alma's assaults, he eventually reunites with the remainder of the squad underneath Still Island and heads for the Armacham facility. Becket enters the psychic amplifier, and as Stokes prepares to power up the machine, she is interrupted by Genevieve Aristide, who explains that she operated on Becket so he would serve as a lure for Alma. Instead of destroying her, Aristide plans to seal Becket and Alma inside the device together, so Aristide can use Alma as leverage against Armacham. Stokes disagrees with the action Artistide is about to perform, and reaches for her gun but is shot by Artistide before she could shoot her. Stokes collapses, with her ultimate fate unknown.
Alma then appears, almost immediately after Stokes is shot. Artistide seals the chamber as the walkway retracts. Alma pays her no attention, instead focusing on Becket, who she sends into another "hallucination", (except in this case he is possibly interacting with the real world) where he fights off apparitions of a maddened Sergeant Keegan while trying to activate the amplifier and destroy Alma. As Becket fights Keegan, the battle is interspersed with images of Alma raping him. Finally, after activating the last switch, Becket escapes the hallucination to find himself sealed inside the device. Suddenly, the device is unsealed from the outside by Alma, as if the surroundings to be the telesthetic amplifier in the Origin Facility. And Becket, securely strapped to the chair inside the device, is at her mercy. Instead of killing him, Alma walks up to Becket and reveals she is pregnant (as she is shown with a swollen belly; clearly indicating pregnancy). She used the psychic link forged with him, while he was effectively trapped in the hallucinations, to conceive a baby with him. Alma proves the child is his by taking Becket's hand and gently placing it over her stomach. The film ends as Becket hears the child say Mommy inside Alma's body.
