Identity Crisis/Transcript

==Cutscene==
Bell is shown lying in a car after Arash Kadivar shot him.
Adler: Over here, we've got a live one!
The cutscene starts back to after "Bell" was rescued.
Adler: I've got to admit I'm surprised. I didn't think they'd recover so fast. We tried everything. Normal forms of interrogation weren't working.
Park: Breaking a subject's will and erasing their mind is a difficult and painful process.
Adler: That's a small price to pay.
Images of biological and radioactive materials flash across the screen.
Park: The CIA's mind control program has had a great deal of success with implanted memories.
Adler: You want me to tell them about my time in Vietnam?
Park: Lastly, you'll need a command phrase to trigger the implanted memories.
Adler: We have a job to do. You had to reach the Soviet bunker.
Park: It appears the subject's programming is beginning to take hold.
Adler: We've got a job to do. We've known each other for years. Fought together, bled together. Been through the hell of Vietnam together. We've got a job to do.
Park: And now the training's complete. We just need to give the subject a name.
Adler: Bell.
Bell wakes up.
===CIA SAFEHOUSE E9, "DIE LANDEBAHN"===
[player first name] "Bell" [player last name], CIA/MI6/Ex-KGB/Classified
52.5200 N, 13.4050 E, West Berlin
March 14, 1981
Bell opens his eyes to find Sims standing by him.
Sims: [He's/She's/They're] coming to.
Adler: Bell, no more fucking around. What did Perseus say? Where is he?
<tabber>
Who am I?=
Adler: You're disoriented, Bell- we'll explain everything later. Right now, we need to help each other.
|-|
What's happening to me?= 
Adler: What you're going through now is nothing compared to what you'll experience if you don't start cooperating.
|-|
</tabber><tabber>
Bullshit.=
Adler: "Bullshit" is what your whole life will amount to if you don't come clean. Tell us where Peresus is!
|-|
What did you do to me?= 
Adler: We gave you a second chance when you were shit out of luck. Now we just want some assistance in return.
|-|
Where is Peresus?=
Adler: Where is Peresus? You tell us Bell, that's what this whole fucking thing is about!

</tabber>
Depending on the player's choices in End of the Line, either Park, Sims, or Lazar will step forward and talk to Bell.
[Park]
Park: Bell, you were one of Perseus' agents. His associate, Arash Kadivar, turned on you at the airstrip in Turkey. Left you for dead.
[Lazar]
Lazar: Bell, you were one of them. We think Perseus cut you out of the picture in Turkey. Adler found you, still alive.
[Sims]
Sims: You worked for Perseus, Bell. I know it's hard to believe, but Arash Kadivar 86'd you at that airfield in Turkey.
The screen fades into white. A flashback begins. Cut to Bell's POV back on the night when Mason and Woods attacked Trabazon Airport in Turkey. Bell is riding in a truck with Arash Kadivar. Bell looks at a file in his hands and then hands it over to Arash on his right.
Arash: When the plane leaves Trabzon, it stops in Duga. This you know. Here's what you don't know. Perseus won't be there. None of these hired guns are going to leave Duga alive. We'll dump their bodies in the forest. Then we will move the weapons to Volkov in Berlin.
Arash hands the files back to Bell.
Arash: From there, we fly to Solovetsky.
The truck arrives at Trabzon Airport. Arash steps out of the vehicle and closes the door.
Arash: But, I have other plans for you. Perseus thinks too highly of you. I don't want the competition.
Arash quickly draws his pistol and shoots Bell and the driver. Bell slumps into unconsciousness as the screen fades into white.
Adler: (narrating) We were there. We found you after everything went down.
The screen moves forward later to when Adler discovers Bell in the truck.
Adler: Over here! We've got a live one!
The screen fades to white again and returns to the present moment in the safe house. Bell now has dialogue options to choose from.
<tabber>
You're lying! You put this shit in my head.=
Adler: The CIA reinvented you, Bell.
|-|
I believe you. I'll help you if I can.=
[Same response]
|-|
</tabber>
The screen reveals Bell's identity papers and secret files.
Adler: We needed to give you a new identity to replace the old.
Based on the player's choices at the start of the game, Adler can reveal Bell's agency association.
<tabber>
MI6=
Adler: It was Park's idea to make you MI6. She wanted that bond with you. You even picked up a bit of her accent.
|-|
Ex-KGB=
Adler: Hudson thought we were making a mistake by conditioning you to be an ex-KGB agent. But what else is new.
|-|
Classified=
Adler: In the end, no specific background really stuck with you. You resisted everything we tried. So we just kept it a mystery.
|-|
CIA=
Adler: Sims and I both wanted you to be CIA. You didn't resist it as much as we thought you might.
|-|
</tabber>
The screen flashes back to the Soviet control room from "Redlight, Greenlight".
Adler: And we were able to utilize your language and cryptography skills as an added bonus.
Flash forward to the present.
Adler: The bigger challenge was your memory.
<tabber>
Park=
Park: The CIA's MK-Ultra program used Adler's missions in Vietnam as a template. We needed you to have that shared experience, that lifelong bond, to establish trust.
|-|
Sims=
Sims: You were a guinea pig for the CIA's MK-Ultra program. They used me and Adler's missions in Vietnam to create new memories. Nothing brings people together like wartime. Instant family. Brothers in arms.
|-|
Lazar=
Lazar: You were put through the CIA's MK-Ultra program, Bell. They gave you new memories - things constructed out of Adler's. It's fucked up, but they needed you to believe you were one of us.
|-|
</tabber>
Images flash across the screen from Bell's memories in Vietnam and the level "Fracture Jaw".
<tabber>
You people are sick.=
Adler: Are your hands clean, Bell?
|-|
I was never really in Vietnam?=
Adler: No. Count yourself lucky. You've only had those memories for a few months. Me, I've been living with them for over a decade.
|-|
How did changing my identity help you?=
Adler: Interrogation didn't work with you. But thanks to MK-Ultra's research, we had a backup plan. If you believed you were someone else, we could lead you to a place where you'd give up everything.
|-|
</tabber>
Bell now has two dialogue choices.
<tabber>
Fuck this.=
Adler: I don't think so. You're still holding back on us, and we are going to get it out of you.
|-|
What did I give you?=
Adler: Enough to get us where we are today. But, we're not finished yet.
|-|
</tabber>
Adler grabs Bell.
Adler: We have a job to do.
The screen fades to white. Flashback to past events where Adler says the same line over.
Adler: Bell, come on, we've got a job to do.
Flash forward to the present.
Adler: The trigger phrase kept you in line, but it didn't get us everything we needed.
Images of the red door flash in Bell's mind.
Adler: Your innermost secrets were always locked behind a door.
An image of Bell's Soviet file lies on a table. Flash forward to the present.
Adler: Bell, I realize you probably hate us right now. What we've done to you. I just need you to fully understand the stakes here. What you do right now is not about me, it's not about you. It's about millions of other fucking people. It's about stopping someone who in the end has no true allegiance to anyone other than himself. So tell me. Where is Perseus?
Flashback to Bell's meeting with Perseus.
Perseus: Once we control the Greenlight arsenal, we will detonate them all from the safety of Solovetsky.
The word "Solovetsky" echoes as the game flashes forward to the present once more.
Adler: This is your chance to define who you really are, Bell. Where is Perseus?
Perseus: (echoing) ...from the safety of Solovetsky.
At this point, the player must make a choice between whether to tell the truth or lie to Adler.
<tabber>
[Truth] Solovetsky. It's Solovetsky Monastery.=
Adler: Solovetsky... 
|-|
[Lie] Duga. The radar array near Duga.=
Adler: Duga... 
|-|
</tabber>Adler: Sims, get Washington on the line. Everyone else, gear up. We're leaving now.
Whichever choice the player makes, Sims walks out of the room and Adler unstraps Bell from the gurney to help him up.
Adler: You made the right choice, Bell. Come on. You're still one of us.
Adler and Bell walk out of the room.
Fade to black. The level ends.
