Ashes to Ashes (mission)/Transcript

==Cutscene==
Hudson: Five years ago NATO intelligence detected a powerful signal of unknown origin. The new signal created radio disruptions worldwide.
Sims: Not to mention all kinds of conspiracy theories.
Hudson: NATO quickly tracked it to this facility in the Soviet Republic of Ukraine. The Duga radar array.
Sims: It's an over-the-horizon radar system. Big improvement over their old missile defense tech. It uses a lot of juice. Could be used to broadcast any long-range signal they want.
Adler: Like detonation codes to every Greenlight nuke in Europe.
Mason: Where exactly is this thing?
Sims: About 60 miles north of Kiev, between the cities of Pripyat and Chernobyl. It's nothing but thick forest for miles around.
Adler: A perfect hiding spot for Perseus.
Sims: We'll have to drop you in a little further out. No recon, no heavy support- just a light infiltration squad.
Woods: Shouldn't be a problem. Just point the way.
Adler: Bell came through for us in the nick of time. I never doubted it.
<tabber>
Park Alive =
Park: Adler. Still seeing no activity from our side.
|-|
Lazar Alive =
Lazar: Adler. No contact over here. Place seems empty.
|-|
Neither Alive =
Mason: Adler. No signs of movement or activity. Place is dead.
</tabber>
Woods: Same. I haven't seen shit.
Adler: Alright. Everyone converge on the gate.
Adler's team enters the radar array through the front gate. The scene cuts to Bell and Adler exiting their truck.
Adler: You're sure you're not forgetting something, Bell?
===Ashes to Ashes===
[First Name] "Bell" [Last Name], [Affiliation]
Duga-2 Radar Array, Khabarovsk Krai, USSR
March 15, 1981
Bell and Adler equip their weapons and exit the vehicle, and the team gather near the entrance.
Mason: There's nothing here. This can't be the right place.
Adler: We didn't see anything on our side either.
Woods: [It's him!/It's her!/I knew it!] [He/She/Bell] fucking lied to us!
Adler: That true, Bell? You pull us out to the middle of nowhere Russia, so Perseus can detonate those nukes?
<tabber>
"You were a fool to trust me. Typical American arrogance." =
Adler: I had no choice but to trust you!
|-|
"Unless stopped, the United States will harm the world more than those nukes." =
Adler: What kind of fucked up logic is that?
|-|
[Signal Ambush] "You underestimated me Adler. Time to die." =
Bell clenches their fist, signaling the ambush. Russian clamoring can be heard behind them, followed by a Soviet operative firing a missile at the team. Bell is incapacitated. This cancels all dialogue and commences the assault on Adler's team.
</tabber>
Adler: What a waste. You could've actually done something with yourself, kid.
<tabber>
"Like help the U.S. hide nukes across the world?" =
Adler: Those nukes were for defense, not offense. Don't you recognize the difference?
|-|
"I bet on the winning horse." =
Adler: There's no winner here, Bell! You've just dragged everyone into the loser column with you.
|-|
[Signal Ambush] "I'm not done yet." =
Bell clenches their fist, signaling the ambush. Russian clamoring can be heard behind them, followed by a Soviet operative firing a missile at the team. Bell is incapacitated. This cancels all dialogue and commences the assault on Adler's team.
</tabber>
Adler: I'd let you walk back to Perseus, but I think I'll spare you the regret instead.
<tabber>
"I'm sorry that you won't be around to find out." =
Adler: Why am I not fucking surprised?
|-|
"At least he never robbed me of my identity." =
Adler: Apparently we didn't do a good enough job.
|-|
[Signal Ambush] "You'll die here. Disowned and forgotten." =
Bell clenches their fist, signaling the ambush. Russian clamoring can be heard behind them, followed by a Soviet operative firing a missile at the team. Bell is incapacitated. This cancels all dialogue and commences the assault on Adler's team.
</tabber>
Adler cocks his rifle.
Adler: Time's up, kid.
<tabber>
Ambush Prepared =
After selecting any of the highlighted dialogue choices, Bell will clench their fist, signaling the ambush. Russian clamoring can be heard behind them, followed by a Soviet operative firing a missile at the team. Bell is incapacitated.
After Bell recovers from the blast, Perseus approaches them wearing a gas mask and hoists them up. 
Adler: I'm hit! Taking cover!
Perseus: On your feet, comrade. Ready for a little retribution?
Perseus hands Bell an AK-47 and leads the assaults on Adler's team.
Bell is now tasked with killing Woods, Mason, and Park or Lazar, depending on the player's actions in End of the Line. Bell's former comrades will also exclaim at them for their betrayal.
Woods: We're gonna bury you, motherfucker! / Bell, you shouldn't have fucked with us! / It's your funeral, Bell!
Mason: Should have stayed on our side. / Goddamnit, Bell! You're gonna die here. /I'd run while you can, Bell.
Park (if alive): Bell, you're making a mistake! / You don't need to do this, Bell! / Bell, stand down!
Lazar: (if alive): You can change your mind, Bell! / Bell, stop! / You're better than this, Bell!
After killing a named member in Adler's team, the other surviving members will comment on it. The exact dialogue depends on the order they are killed.
Adler can be heard exclaiming each time a named member is killed.
Adler: Stay in it! / Don't back down! / Keep fighting!
After killing their former teammates and the rest of the soldiers, Bell advances into a building to search for Adler. Perseus, whose face is still concealed by his mask, leads them inside.
Perseus: Over here, comrade! This is it! Your friend went through here. He is not far.
Bell follows Perseus down the hallway.
Perseus: Come out and play. You are running out of time. And space.
Perseus and Bell come across a doorway with a bloodstain on the floor beside it.
Perseus: The cat becomes the mouse.
Bell opens the door and encounters an injured Adler slumped near a crate.
Adler: Glad to see you still care. Mind giving me a light?
Adler gestures towards his lighter, which is sitting on the floor next to him.
If the player waits.
Adler: I'd offer you a cigarette, but you don't smoke anymore. We tried to help you with all your worst qualities. I guess science still has its limits.
Perseus: Please. Just shut him up.
Adler: Looks like you made a new friend. I'm happy for you. He seems charming. He's really growing on me. 
Adler: I don't get bored easily, kid, but you're really getting good at this.
Adler begins nonchalantly humming a tune while holding his cigarette.
Bell approaches Perseus, who removes his gas mask to greet them.
Perseus: You remember my face, don't you?
Perseus pulls out a radio and places his hand on Bell's shoulder.
Perseus (through radio): Solovetsky. Stand by for the detonation order.
Soviet Soldier (through radio in Russian): Yes, sir.
Perseus hand Bell the radio.
Perseus: I think you deserve this moment, comrade.
Bell orders the detonation in Solovetsky through the radio.
Soviet Soldier (through radio in Russian): Yes, ___. / Yes, Commander.
Perseus: I wish we could return to Solovetsky to watch it all unfold, but that chapter is closed now. We begin the next one together.
Perseus pats Bell on the shoulder.
Perseus: You did well.
Perseus gazes over Adler's corpse.
Perseus: And to think after all this time, they still believe I'm Perseus. 
Perseus squats near Adler's corpse.
Perseus: As if Perseus could ever be an individual, working alone. So American.
Perseus stands up and faces Bell.
Perseus: We'll need a new home now. The Central Committee will be more surprised than the CIA. Even if we made the best choice for the future of mankind.... Nyet. For humanity.... Their eyes will be clouded as ours once were. Come. There is still much to be done.
Their mission complete, Bell and Perseus leave Duga.
|-|
No Ambush Prepared =
If the player chose to not prepare an ambush, all signal ambush dialogue will be omitted. After Adler cocks his weapon, no further options are given.
Mason and Woods approach Bell with their weapons drawn. If Park or Lazar are present, they will turn their heads away.
Adler: I guess I'll finish this job myself.
Adler open fires on Bell, who falls backwards and hits the ground.
Adler: You want to load up the body?
Woods: Fuck if I care. Leave it for Perseus to find.
Adler: Get Hudson on the horn. We've got to warn the President.
Bell's vision fades as the mission ends.
</tabber>
==End Cutscene==
TV footage of the Greenlight detonations is viewed by President Ronald Reagan and Deputy Strategist Emerson Black.
Reagan: My God. How many Greenlight nukes did he detonate?
Black: All of them, Mr. President.
Reagan: Does anyone know the nukes are ours?
Black: Materials related to Operation Greenlight were anonymously release an hour ago, presumably by Perseus. Calls are beginning to come in from across the globe.
Reagan: That son of a bitch.
Black: You and Vice President Bush are to be moved to secure locations immediately. 
Reagan: I want any business related to this thing erased forever. Everything. Can you make that happen?
Black: Of course. It's already begun.
The televisions all turn to static before shutting off.
The scene cuts to CIA Safehouse E9 being burned by operatives under Hudson's command. Perseus is heard in a voiceover.
Perseus: We will watch Europe burn. We will watch the empire of the United States collapse under its own weight. A world with two superpowers will become a world with one. The Soviet Union. 
The evidence board featuring Perseus' photo is seen burning.
Perseus: And if the leaders of this new world order squander the opportunity we have provided them... then they too will be replaced.
Multiple scenes appear, showing the consequences of Bell's past actions with Perseus' voiceover.

Bell Alive =
===Qasim Javadi===
===Anton Volkov===
===Eleazar Azoulay===
If Lazar was killed in End of the Line, Perseus will comment on his death.
Perseus: You say Eleazar Azoulay perished in Cuba. We will not miss that one. His interference with our Middle East assets will be a distraction no more.
===Helen Park===
If Helen Park was killed in End of the Line, Perseus will comment on her death.
Perseus: You say that Helen Park perished in Cuba. / And Helen Park was wiped out with him.
Perseus: She had been sniffing around the edges of our group for years. One less Western nuisance for us to deal with.
Perseus: As for the rest, it was a pleasure eliminating them by your side.
