MORRIS ODELL: Though the evidence itself has not been revealed, US intelligence is claiming to have proof of China manufacturing nuclear weapons, a blatant infraction of international treaties. China has made an unmitigated denial of the charges, restating the belief that...

ODELL: Diplomatic talks with China continue to crumble. US military forces are mobilizing towards the anticipation of possible hostilities.

ODELL: China again denies any involvement in Kombayn Nikoladze's...

ODELL: Oh my God...

ODELL: Broadcast through the internet just minutes ago.
NIKOLADZE: [on webcam] ...cannot allow my nation to be subjected to the blatant international despotism of the United States, or the cronyism of it's allies. The world is not yours alone. And the soldiers you send into it are all equally guilty of American fascism.

NIKOLADZE: At 5:30 PM, Greenwich Standard Time, the United States soldiers captured in a just war against their motherland will be executed. Their deaths broadcast for the world to watch.

In game, part one
Sam is outside Mouke Tsoe-Bo Meats abattoir in a fenced area.
LAMBERT: Fisher, we're getting close to war. If Nikoladze kills these men on live broadcast, we're sunk.
FISHER: Are we worrying about the broadcast or the murders?
LAMBERT: For now, the broadcast. It'll buy us time to stop the killings. Nikoladze is broadcasting from an antenna on the roof. That's your first objective, you'll find the rest on your OpSat.
The player has the option to activate a switch that releases water that provides cover for Sam.
GUARD 1: I thought this was what made the pool drain.
GUARD 2: It is, I think. Maybe it's malfunctioning.
GUARD 1: It doesn't affect us anyway.
Sam goes into another area where he intercepts a guard making a radio announcement.
GUARD A: Colonel, this is Badri. The landmines are in place; make sure nobody without a polarized thermal sensor enters the courtyard.
Sam navigates his way across the courtyard, being careful to avoid the landmines which he can spot with his thermal goggles. He climbs onto a dumpster and up to a ledge. He goes through a crawl space to a metal roof.
[Version One]
Through the ceiling window he sees Grinko, Nikoladze and their men standing around a table.
GRINKO: I want all identifying details stricken from the room. Keep the lights off of the walls. Give them fuller highlights. We need to clearly see their faces when they die. Where's our sound-man? Make sure we're close enough to hear prayers.
[Both versions]
If Sam walks on the metal roof:
GUARD 3: There's something on the roof. Should we check it out?
GUARD 4: Eh, it's probably another rat. I don't want to miss the executions.
If Sam steps on the roof again:
GUARD 4: That's not a rat! Let's go!
The two guards come out and start shooting at Sam.
If Sam successfully makes it to the antenna and shuts it down.
GUARD 5: What the hell just happened? The broadcast antenna is down. We've got no outgoing signal.
COLONEL BAGRAT: We're under attack. The Americans are here. They've taken out the broadcast antenna.
GRINKO: Get Nikoladze out of here. I want his helicopter airborne, now! I want a squad of technicians with an armed escort on the roof, and repairing that antenna. I want the Americans found and killed.
BAGRAT: Yes, Sir.
Nikoladze leaves while some guards go up to the roof.
LAMBERT: Sound's like you shook things up pretty well. But it's only gonna buy us a few minutes. Find those soldiers, Fisher.
Sam defeats the guards and heads through a door and down the stairs into the next room.
Part two
SOLDIER 1: We have Nikoladze on board. Estimated departure in....
Sam is on a balcony looking over a large bathroom. He bypasses the guards and heads down a corridor.
NIKOLADZE: Grinko, this is Nikoladze. Kill the American soldiers. Take them to the studio and kill them. We'll release the footage whenever we can. Tell Feirong we're moving ahead; I'll retrieve the Ark.
After going a bit further down the corridor:
GRINKO: This is Grinko. I want the American soldiers prepped and in the studio; the executions are going forward as planned.
SOLDIER 2: Yes, Sir.
Sam overhears some soldiers having a conversation.
SOLDIER 3: That was Grinko. He wants us to escort the soldiers to the studio.
LAMBERT: You copy that, Fisher? The executions are going forward.
FISHER: I heard. We got any more diversions?
LAMBERT: Your gun's full of them. Make sure that escort doesn't reach our troops.
Sam enters a room and finds a soldier at a desk. He grabs him.
SOLDIER 4: What the hell?
FISHER: Where are you keeping the American soldiers?
SOLDIER 4: Grinko will kill me.
FISHER: He's not as creative as I am. Where are they?
SOLDIER 4: Ow!
FISHER: Where!?
SOLDIER 4: The basement.
Sam interrogates him again:
FISHER: Where's Grinko?
SOLDIER 4: He'll murder you. He'll kill you all.
FISHER: Where do I find him?
SOLDIER 4: He'll find you.
Sam interrogates him again:
SOLDIER 4: Kill me.
Sam crawls and climbs to above the ceiling. Below him, two soldiers are talking.
SOLDIER 5: What about the broadcast?
SOLDIER 6: It's not our place to question, let's go.
Sam heads through a number of ice rooms where steam clouds his vision. He then makes his way the slaughtering pens where cows appear to have been shot up as they are full of bullet holes.
SOLDIER 7: Are you sure?
SOLDIER 8: They've put him on a helicopter. Nikoladze has left us.
SOLDIER 7: Grinko must think the Americans are here.
SOLDIER 8: God help us if they are.
Sam heads further down the corridor.
SOLDIER 9: That's sick. I'm a soldier, not a sadist.
SOLDIER 10: Come on, you know you want to watch.
SOLDIER 9: I don't. Broadcasting murder is barbaric.
SOLDIER 10: You're naive to think it's anything but history.
SOLDIER 9: It's a pointless conversation. We're on patrol until the alert quiets.
SOLDIER 10: Don't tell me you believe those American super spy stories coming out of Kola.
SOLDIER 9: If Nikoladze believes them, I believe them.
SOLDIER 10: Those stories are nothing but Russian winters and Russian vodka. We should be with the others watching the broadcast.
Sam reaches a large open room where there are two turrets facing separate corridors. Down one of these exits are the American soldiers; down the other are captured Chinese diplomats.
If Sam speaks to the soldiers:
AMERICAN SOLDIER: I wanna go home.
Or
AMERICAN: Grinko wouldn't let them torture us. He kept saying we had to look pretty for our execution.
Or
AMERICAN: I don't want to die in the cesspit.
And
AMERICAN 2: Where are the other soldiers?
Or
AMERICAN 2: We haven't eaten in two days. I'm not sure I can walk.
Or
AMERICAN 2: Thank god, they were gonna kill us.
AMERICAN 3: You've come to save us. Where the others?
FISHER: It's just me.
AMERICAN 3: Oh crap.
If Sam keeps talking:
AMERICAN 3: I don't think I can help you. We're too weak to fight.
Or
AMERICAN 3: They've treated the Chinese worse than us. There was nothing we can do.
If Sam speaks to the Chinese:
DIPLOMAT 1: How could one human do such things to another?
Or
DIPLOMAT 1: I don't want to die.
DIPLOMAT 2: I don't know why they've let us live this long. They've killed so many.
Or
DIPLOMAT: I think they know we know something.
LONG DAN: You are American.
FISHER: You're Chinese.
LONG: The PRC ambassador to Myanmar. I must speak with a representative of your government.
FISHER: They hear everything I do. Shoot.
LONG: Kong Feirong does not represent the will of China. He is a splinter faction of the Chinese army, all of them fanatics and fools.
FISHER: What does he want?
LONG: First Taiwan, with others to follow. Gifts to the PRC, he thinks they will not be able to refuse.
FISHER: How is Nikoladze involved?
LONG: Trade. Feirong provides transport and munitions in exchange for weapons grade nuclear waste.
FISHER: Does China know?
LONG: No, and unless they are are issued proof of Feirong's activities, I fear the certainty of war.
FISHER: What's the proof?
LONG: On the computer in his office, my office, he has overridden and reset the lock.
FISHER: I force him to open his computer and forward the contents to the PRC, and our countries don't go to war.
LONG: Such is my hope.
If Sam kills or knocks out any of the Chinese or Americans:
LAMBERT: Good Lord, Fisher, what have you done!? Do you know what that murder will cost us? The mission's over. Get out of there!
Mission Failed
After speaking to Long Dan, Sam intercepts a radio message from Grinko.
GRINKO: Damnation. The Americans have taken the basement. I want all available men armed to converge on the basement. We'll kill them all.
If the troops kill the Americans:
LAMBERT: Oh, God. They killed the troops, didn't they?
FISHER: I'm sorry.
LAMBERT: We can't politic our way out of this anymore. The mission's over.
Once the wave of soldiers is defeated:
GRINKO: Colonel Bagrat, Report. Colonel Bagrat! Damnation. I'm going down there. Nosenko, you're coming with me.
LAMBERT: Fisher, Kill Grinko.
FISHER: OK.
LAMBERT: His men are mercenaries; their only cause is money and intimidation.
FISHER: So once Grinko's dead, they scatter.
LAMBERT: Let's hope so.
Grinko and Nosenko enter the basement. Sam kills them both.
SOLDIER 11: Grinko's dead! He killed Grinko!
SOLDIER 12: Repeat that.
SOLDIER 11: Vyacheslav Grinko is dead.
LAMBERT: Fisher, Echelon just picked out an intercept. Feirong knows that Grinko's dead and Nikoladze is gone.
FISHER: That's not good.
LAMBERT: Get back to the embassy. He's trying to destroy the evidence that could keep us out of a war.
FISHER: Right.
Mission Complete
