Walker promised to bring Charlie back to his father in Havoc
Havoc began with a quick flashback of Tom Hardy's Walker being involved in something messy and illegal. But no details are revealed right away, and everything gradually unfolds. However, it was made clear that Walker was a corrupt detective, which strained his personal life and relationship with his wife.
Later, there is a high-speed chase sequence between four young people, three men and a woman, running away from the cops in a transportation truck. To evade the cops, one of them threw a washing machine onto the incoming car, severely injuring a policeman, Cortez. After losing the cops, they went to a high-profile Triad member, Tsui Fong, to deliver a bag.
However, a few moments later, three gunmen in hockey masks gunned down the place with assault rifles, killing the gangster and all his people. Walker was a homicide cop who began investigating the case. He identified one of the people as Charlie Beaumont, son of an influential businessman, Lawrence Beaumont.
Walker and other cops had previously done dirty jobs for Lawrence, so he made a deal to deliver Charlie to him as the final job. Once Charlie is delivered, he shall never be asked to take care of shady business or clean Lawrence's mess.
Tsui Fong was killed by the cops in Havoc
Walker began investigating the case but did not inform his partner, Ellie, or his superiors. Due to this, he was taken off the case, and Vincent, played by Timothy Olyphant, was made in charge. It was revealed that Walker, Vincent, Cortez, and two other cops were involved in a job that got an undercover police officer killed. Although Vincent pulled the trigger, the secret could have incriminated all of them.
Through Ellie, Walker found out about a scrapyard worker, Raul, who had raised Mia. He found Mia through Raul and warned him to keep his mouth shut, as only he could save her from the danger. Walker found Mia in a club, but she refused to trust him. She told him that it was Vincent and two other cops who killed Tsui Fong and his people.
Soon, Vincent, with two other cops, showed up, followed by the Triad mobsters, resulting in a bloody battle. Walker and Mia tried to fight their way out of the place and were also joined by Charlie. After rescuing them from the club, Walker called Laurance to update them. However, he wasn't aware that Tsui Fong's mother had already taken him captive.
Walker saved Charlie and Mia at the end of Havoc
Havoc ended in the same fashion it began, with bloodshed and chaos. The last battle happened in Walker's cabin outside the city. A horde of gunmen attacked the cabin from all sides, breaking every door and window.
Walker, Mia, and Charlie retaliated and kept them out for a while but were eventually outnumbered. Tsui's mother asked Lawrence to kill Mia in return for his son's life, but he couldn't go through with it. Ellie, who had apprehended Vincent and another dirty cop dealing drugs with another Triad member, Ching, brought them to the cabin and announced that they were the actual killers of Tsui.
The place erupted in chaos again, with only Charlie, Walker, Mia, Ellie, and Vincent surviving. Walker saved Charlie as promised, but Lawrence was killed trying to save his son. Walker shot Vincent, who was running away with a bag full of drugs, and asked Ellie to arrest him. Havoc ended with Walker lying propped up against a train, watching the police cars arrive.
