Fracture Jaw/Transcript

== Cutscene ==
Adler: Alright Bell, we’re going back to Vietnam. First time Perseus pinged our radar.
An M1911, some classified documents, and a map of Southeast Asia are seen on a table. A picture of U.S. soldiers in Vietnam and a picture of Perseus are shown.
Adler: It was late January, ’68. We were a joint CIA- SOG taskforce, embedded within the 3rd Marine Regiment near Da Nang. SOG was there to sniff out Soviet activity. Word had it Russian operatives were active in the region.
Footage shows soldiers in helicopters and soldiers engaging in combat in Vietnam. A map also shows Da Nang circled in red. More combat footage is shown with soldiers firing artillery and other soldiers displaying a captured Soviet flag. Screen transitions to a picture of Perseus and an explosion.
Park: Perseus had no known presence in Vietnam.
Adler: That changed at Da Nang. Somehow, Perseus knew about Operation Fracture Jaw.
Screen transitions to more Vietnam combat footage and then to confidential documents on Fracture Jaw.
Sims: Fracture Jaw? That one sure went sideways.
The screen transitions to footage showing US Army General William Westmoreland and President Lyndon Johnson greeting troops in Vietnam. It then transitions to a newspaper declaring the war stupid and criticizing General Westmoreland.
Footage then transitions back to maps of Vietnam.
Adler: We launched out of Camp Haskins.
Sims: Yeah, I’ll never forget that shithole.
Footage goes to combat footage in Vietnam and then transitions to a photography dark room. The dark shows dog tags hanging, a picture of Adler with Sims in Vietnam, and a picture of Perseus.
Park: Good, we want those memories. No detail’s too small, a face, a name. We’re looking for anything that can lead us to Perseus.
Sims: This feels like looking for a needle in a haystack….…in a field of haystacks.
The screen transitions to footage Vietnam.
Adler: Maybe. But that needle’s somewhere. Remember… we had a job to do.
A file and a picture of Perseus are shown.
Cutscene ends. Screen goes dark.
== Gameplay ==
Sims: Fracture Jaw? That one sure went sideways.
Adler is seen waking up Bell in a tent.
Adler: Bell. Time to wake up. It’s crank time.
Adler exits the tent. Bell gets up and grabs an M16.
Fracture Jaw[player first name] "Bell" [player last name], Camp Haskins, VietnamJanuary 26, 1968
US Marines are seen around the camp and a CH-47 Chinook is seen taking off.
American Soldier: Like I said... Sometimes, you just can't miss.
(If Bell doesn't immediately join Adler...)
Adler: Still with me, Bell?
Bell goes to join Adler.
Adler: (to Bell) Welcome to another day in the life of Camp Haskins. Our little oasis in the middle of this godforsaken shitstorm. You’re pretty safe here.
Bell walks past a couple of American soldiers talking with each other.
American Soldier: So, why haven't we bombed the shit out of 'em yet?; Shit like that takes orders... and assets.
A soldier is seen handing tools to another soldier fixing a jeep. Adler greets the soldier handing the tools.
Adler: Hey Butcher! How’s the arm?
Butcher: Still hurts like hell, but at least I can move it!
(If Bell doesn't keep walking with Adler...)
Adler: Damn it!
Bell and Adler exit the camp and head to the landing zone where a group of UH-1 Iroquois helicopters are stationed. Sims is seen sitting in one of the helicopters and reading a pornographic magazine.
Adler: Hey, Sims! You know reading that shit's gonna make you go blind.
Adler grabs the magazine and puts it away.
Sims: Yup! That's why I want it all up here.
Adler: Bell, you're with Sims. You usually bring out the best in each other.
Bell boards the helicopter. 
Adler: We got a new assignment. FOB 4 Ripcord is holding a vital asset that Charlie wants real bad.
Sims: What kind of asset are we talking about?
Adler: The kind you don't ask about. Ripcord has been taking a hell of a beating, so it's our job to secure the asset and get the fuck out. Relax. We got fast fliers providing combat air support for this mission. It'll be a walk in the park.
Bell moves up to where the pilots are seated and the helicopter starts up.
Chalk Two: Headsets on. (pointing at his headset to the others.)
Bell puts on his headset.
Base Commander: All birds check in when ready.
The helicopter lifts off and Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf is heard playing. Other helicopters are seen lifting off.
Chalk One: Badger Niner-One good to go.
Chalk Two: Badger Niner-Two clear to go.
Chalk Three: Badger Niner-Three rotors up.
Base Commander: All birds, go go go. Crank up and pull pitch. All birds are in the air.
Bell sits down.
Adler: You sitting comfortably?
Sims: Aww, man, Adler! Why do I get the feeling you're about to give us some bad news?
Adler: Because you're a smart guy, Sims. But the news isn't bad. In fact it could be very, very good. The asset at Ripcord is gonna have to wait a little while. We're breaking off from the armada. Taking a detour.
Sims: And... that's good because?
Adler: A source tipped us off that there may be a heavy hitter from town, a Soviet operative known as Perseus.
Bell blocks the sun from getting in their eyes.
Sims: Awww, shit.
Adler: Appreciate the enthusiasm, Sims. If our source is right, we could be looking at an intel gold mine.
Screen goes white with Adler's voice echoing.
Adler: ...first time Perseus pinged our radar.
Two helicopters with the callsigns Badger Niner-One (Chalk One) and Badger Niner-Two (Chalk Two) are seen flying to a village. Bell is seen holding onto one of the miniguns.
Chalk One: (to Chalk Two) Approaching the village now.
Chalk Two: Roger that. Moving to establish an LZ.
Alder: RPG!
A RPG almost hits Chalk One and Viet Cong are seen firing RPGs at the helicopters from the rooftops of buildings in the village.
Adler: Chalk Two, light 'em up!
The group opens fire on the Viet Cong in the village.
Sims: There! In the bell tower!
(After taking out the Viet Cong in the bell tower...)
Sims: Fuck yeah.
Adler: Focus fire on the courtyard!
Sims: Nice shooting, Bell!; That is how you fucking do it!
More Viet Cong appear on the rooftops.
Adler: Dammit! More RPGs on the rooftop!
Chalk Two: Hold on, swinging around!
Adler: Don't let up, Bell!
Bell takes down more enemy soldiers.
Sims: Yeah! Blow the fuckers to kingdom come!
Chalk Two: Visual on LZ. Taking us down.
The helicopter lands on the ground.
Sims: You and me, Bell. Let's do this.
Bell and Sims step out of the helicopter, while Adler stays on the helicopter. Sims quickly takes out two Viet Cong and the two continue to engage the Viet Cong in town to locate the intel. Sims radios Adler.
Sims: You sure about this, Adler? Streets ain't exactly empty!
Adler: Your priority is securing any intel.
Bell and Sims eliminate the Viet Cong soldiers near them.
Adler: Our source eyeballed the Soviets at a building in the center of town.
Sims: Let's go, Bell! You're on point!
Bell enters a building and takes out two Viet Cong soldiers and heads up to the second floor.
Adler: Keep pushing forward. You're getting close.
Adler spots the building and a lot of Viet Cong soldiers are seen defending the building.
Adler: Sims. Bell. That's the building! Keep your heads down. We got this.
Adler gets on the helicopter's minigun to support the duo and guns down the remaining VC.
Sims: (to a VC) Ain't your day, bitch!; Fuck you!
Chalk One: Area clear.
Adler: Okay. Get inside. See what we got.
Sims: Go, Bell. I'm right behind you.
Bell enters the building and clears out the Viet Cong and the two head up stairs. They engage Spetsnaz operatives and Viet Cong. 
Sims: You're fucking done.
Bell heads to a red door. A minor white flash appears and an echoing voice can be heard.
Sims: (echo) ...like looking for a needle in a haystack...
Screen then goes back into focus and Russian voices can be heard behind the red door.
Sims: You hear that? It's on you Bell. Open the door.
Bell kicks the door open. Sims fights with a Spetsnaz operative and bashes him to death with his rifle. Another operative grabs his rifle and is ready to shoot but is shot by Sims.
Sims: (on radio) Adler. We confirmed it: Soviets on site.
Adler: You sure?
Sims: Well, I'm staring at two bodies that sure as hell don't look Vietnamese to me. Bell. Grab that comms log. Let's see who the fuck they've been talking to.
Bell grabs the comms log and looks inside the folder. Bell then closes the folder.
Sims: Mission accomplished. We have intel. Let's bug out.
Adler: Good work. Hang on to that intel. We're coming to pick you up.
Bell and Sims exit the room.
Adler: Alright. Let's go rejoin the armada and get this fucking asset.
The two defeat three Viet Cong soldiers as they are leaving the building. Badger Niner-One goes on a strafing run and takes out the Viet Cong reinforcements approaching.
Sims: Go! Back to the bird!
Badger Niner-One is seen landing after taking out the VC. Firebase Ripcord contacts the group on radio.
Ripcord: Badger Niner-One, this is Ripcord. We are still under heavy fire. VC are breaching the perimeter. What is your status?
Adler: We're inbound now, Ripcord. Get that asset ready for transfer.
Ripcord: Roger that, Niner-One. We'll keep the asset safe long as we can. Ripcord out.
Bell and Sims get in the helicopter and the helicopter takes off as they head to Firebase Ripcord.
Chalk One: Badger Niner-One in the air.
Adler: (to Bell) VC are all over the mountains. No civs here! All targets are valid.
VC at their outposts start attacking the helicopter.
Sims: Tear 'em up, Bell! Target the huts!
Bell target the huts and the huts explode. 
Sims: Fuck yeah!; Hell yeah!; Nailed 'em good!; Yeah!; Good shooting, Bell.
The Base Commander radios the group that a enemy helicopter is approaching them.
Base Commander: Badger Niner-One. We have confirmed visual on an enemy bird headed your way.
A Soviet Hind helicopter appears and starts firing.
Sims: Since when did the Cong have birds?
Adler: They don't. Fucking Soviets. (to Bell) Take down that Hind!
Bell returns fire at the Hind and continues shooting at the Hind.
Adler: Come on, Bell! Stay on him!
Sims: (to Bell) That's it! Stay on him!
Adler: (to Bell) That's it! Stay on him!; Yes! We got your ass zeroed!
The Hind eventually crashes and explodes
Sims: (to Bell) I think you got him.
Alder: Yeah. You got him. Good Job, Bell. The fact they sent that Hind after us tells you how pissed they are that we snagged the intel.
Chalk One: Ripcord base twenty seconds out.
Alder: Ripcord, this is Badger Niner-One. We're on final approach.
Ripcord: Roger that, Niner-One. The base is still hot, so watch yourselves.
VC soldiers hidden in caves in the mountains fire RPGs at them.
Ripcord: We'll do what we can to clear an LZ- and get the asset ready for transfer.
Adler: Roger that, Ripcord.
Sims: Watch the caves! Bastards are dug in!
Bell: Open fire!
Bell returns fire on the VC in mountain caves and defeats them. As they move on, they encounter a VC outpost where enemy soldiers open fire on the group.
Adler: Multiple ground targets!
Sims: Pick 'em off, Bell.
Bell picks off the VC and Sims spots a VC road convoy of supplies.
Sims: VC convoy on the road.
Adler: Take out those supply trucks. Every one of them rearms the enemy!
Bell shoots the supply trucks. Ripcord radios the group.
Ripcord: Badger Niner-One, this is Ripcord. You need to push back the VC reinforcements before we are overrun!
The base is seen under attack and a multiple U.S. helicopters are seen providing fire support to the U.S. soldiers on the ground.
Ripcord: Be advised: we have multiple birds in the air. Watch your fire.
Groups of VC soldiers with RPGs and groups of AA trucks are seen shooting at the helicopters.
Sims: Enemy's dug in all around the hillside!
Adler: We don't have a hope in hell of landing if we don't take out those positions. (to Bell) Light 'em up.
Bell returns fire and destroys the AA trucks.
Sims: Keep it up!
Ripcord: Badger Niner-One, our scouts have identified a significant enemy force approaching from the south! Divert to intercept!
Two VC convoys are seen being escorted by AA trucks heading up the opposite side of mountain where the base is located.
Adler: Take out those AA trucks!
Bell shoots the AA trucks which causes the rest of convoy to explode.
Adler: Nice work.; Good effect.
Ripcord: Badger Niner-One, they're breaching the main gate! We can't hold out much longer!
Adler: Hold on, Ripcord. We're on our way!
A VC convoy supported by armored vehicles is seen approaching the base entrance.
Sims: (to Bell) Hit that armor!
Adler: (to Bell) Stay on that convoy!
Bell destroys the Armor and the VC convoy. The VC stop firing and are seen retreating.
Sims: Fuck yeah!
Ripcord: Badger Niner-One, you are clear to land.
Chalk One: Copy that, Ripcord. Badger Niner-One setting down.
Badger Niner-One lands down on the LZ.
Ripcord: (on radio) The base is still hot, so watch yourselves.
Adler: Roger that, Ripcord.
Firebase Ripcord's base commander with two marines carrying a nuclear device are seen heading towards them.
Base Commander: (to Adler) You Adler? MACV-SOG?
Adler: Yeah, yeah. Just hurry the fuck up already!
Base Commander: Yes, sir. Thank you.
The Marines pass the nuclear device to Adler onto the helicopter.
Adler: Don't thank me. Thank Bell. __ the one who just snagged us a fuckin' phone book full of Soviet Intel.
Bell looks at the comms log folder.
Adler: Let's go. Now.
Sims secures the nuclear device.
Base Commander: (to Adler) Godspeed, Commander.
Sims: A fucking nuke? Are you fucking kidding me, Adler?
The helicopter lifts off.
Adler: It's a failsafe. That's all you need to know.
Sims: We that desperate already?
Adler: Not yet.
Badger Niner-One leaves the base with two other helicopters escorting them. A RPG is seen being fired that hits the helicopter, causing the aircraft to lose control and ram Badger Niner-One. The pilot sees the helicopter coming.
Chalk One: -RPGS! BRACE!
Badger Niner-One loses control of the helicopter. A door gunner is seen falling out of the helicopter. Sims and Bell try to help him.
Sims: GRAB MY HAND! I GOTCHA-!
The door gunner falls out of the helicopter to his death. Bell grabs Sims, who is falling out and manages to save him.
Chalk One: We've lost power!
A explosion from the rotor kills Chalk One's co-pilot. The helicopter crashes to the ground and flips upside down. A white screen appears. Adler's voice can be heard narrating.
Adler: ...Somehow Perseus knew...
Bell wakes up in the helicopter wreak which is sparking electricity and a small fire is seen starting. Adler and Sims wake up.
Adler: Sims! Bell! You okay?
Sims: We're okay.
A bullet hits the pilot in the head and bullets are seen firing at the group.
Adler: Fuck!
Adler pulls out his 1911 and shoots the VC charging at them.
Adler: Bell! Let loose with that damn turret before we're overrun!
Bell fires the mini-gun at the VC charging at them with AK-47s. Bell cuts his seatbelt after firing all the ammunition. The others free themselves.
Sims: Shit! We need air support!
Adler hands Bell a smoke grenade to signal a airstrike.
Adler: Bell! Call it in!
Bell gets out of the helicopter and throws the smoke grenade. 
Adler: Grab a weapon! Keep them the fuck off us!
Bell grabs an M60 off the ground. Alder and Sims carry the nuclear device out of the wreckage and place it behind a large rock. Bell and the others shoot at the VC approaching them.
Adler: Where is that air support?
A group of US fighter jets are seen flying over them as they drop napalm and miss the target location.
Adler: Fuck! Did they miss us?
 The VC fire RPGs at them.
Adler: RPG! Wait!
Adler hears the sounds of fighter jets in the area.
Adler: Here it comes!
A RPG blast knocks Bell backwards and white screen appears. Bell wakes up.
Sims: Bell!
Adler: Still with us?
Two fighter jets drop napalm bombs and VC are seen being burned alive. Adler grab and pulls Bell near the rock to avoid getting burned by the napalm. After the detonation, Adler checks to make sure there are no more VC in the area and decides to speak to Sims.
Adler: You think we can call this a success, Sims?
Sims: Least the nuke didn't go off.
Adler: (looks at Bell) More importantly...we got intel on Perseus.
Screen goes black and Adler's voice narrates.
Adler: I told you we had a job to do. It ain't done yet. Not by a long way.
Mission ends.
