Uncharted 4: 20 Amazing Moments
9. Plot Twist: Rafe Got Sam Out Of Jail
In Chapter 15 (The Thieves of Libertalia), Rafe breaks up the standoff between Nate, Sam and Nadine. Nate tries to bargain for his and Sam's lives, explaining that they'll help Rafe get the treasure if they can have a small cut to pay off Sam's debt to Hector Alcazar.
At this point, Rafe explains that Alcazar in fact died in a shootout in Argentina six months ago, and he was the one who in fact broke Sam out of jail, but not with an epic shootout like Sam claimed, but instead just bribing a warden and having Sam walk right out the front gate.
Rafe continues that Sam has been helping him track down the St. Dismas Cross for two years, much to Nate's shock, having uprooted his life to help Sam get out of trouble. Rafe then attempts to shoot Nate, but Sam takes the bullet to the shoulder, though Nate still falls from the cliff and is knocked out.
