Jericho

**Jericho** is the first story quest for Act III in *We Happy Few*. Ollie has to defend himself against the Headboys before escaping the train station.

## Objectives

* Check out the alarm
* Defuse the bomb!
* Sweep for more bombs!
* Defuse the second bomb!
* Find a way out
* Get parachute
* Get back to your base!
* Grab the essentials
* Escape to the roof
* Jump!

## In-Game Description

Someone's trying to break in!

I better defuse this, or it's going to take down the entire bloody tower.

I better make sure they haven't set any other bombs.

Bombs! The bastards must be getting desperate.

I doubt this building'll be standing in the morning. I better find a way to get out of here!

I need to get that old parachute, get back upstairs and jump off the roof.

I'll admit it's a stupid idea, but I'm in a collapsing building and the doors are blocked. I don't have time to think of a smart one.

Christ on toast, there's swarms of them. Retreat!

I need my emergency bag. And my picture of Margaret. And that dolly I raided the Victory Memorial Camp for!

Can't go down. Have to go up!

I hope I don't break my ankles.

## Walkthrough

After the cutscene ends, head down the lift and defeat the headboys before defusing the bomb they set up before it blows.

The player now has time to breathe, search the area for anything useful, the player can also head back upstairs and clear the room of all items held within, the player can continue forth afterwards.

On the other side are more headboys and another bomb.

After another scene, defeat the four Headboys in the area and grab the Best First Aid Kit placed on some scaffolding, then continue through the destruction to find the parachute

Crawl through the hole in the mesh to ride the lift back up, and then continue around the tower to trigger a small cutscene. The player can either fight the Headboys or rush to the lift and hit the lever to ride it up without fighting a single Headboy.

The player can now collect Margaret's Doll and portrait from Ollie's hideout, then use the wheel to lower the ladder to the roof.

Head up on the platform and the last cutscene will play showing Ollie successfully escaping from the tower.

## Transcript

### **Intro**

Open/Close

Ollie: I wonder if little Artie got away all right.

Ollie: Wasn't that the caper. I thought he'd never cut the power.

Ollie: Well I hope she likes it.

Margaret: That wasn't very nice. What you did. To Arthur.

Ollie: What'd you do while I was out?

Margaret: Stuff...

Ollie: Chanterelle?

Ollie: You're a master of conversation.

Ollie: Look what I got you in the warehouse!

Margaret: Oh, she's so pretty!

Ollie: That's a fair bit o'Christmas there, isn't it?

Arthur: Did you know the power switch was alarmed?

Ollie: They're all quite mad, you know. The Home Army lads.

Arthur: Did you know the power switch was alarmed?

Ollie: I think they want the Germans to come back. It's the shame of it, ye see.

Arthur: You bloody knew!

Ollie: For heaven's sake, Artie, times are hard, but you and I are neighbors from way back.

Arthur: The tanks are hollow, Ollie.

Ollie: What's that?

Arthur: The tanks - they're made of papier mâché!

Margaret: Like we made in school?

Arthur: We could have fought them! If they didn't have real tanks.

Margaret: Did- Did you know they were fake?

Ollie: Of course not!

Arthur: I wouldn't have to lie my way out of that train...

Ollie: I would have told the lads. We'd have risen up.

Margaret: But Ollie. You were the General's secretary. You must have known.

Ollie: You don't forget a thing like that. If we'd've known, we'd have risen up. We'd've had to. We'd have saved you. And everyone else's kids.

Arthur: Didn't you hear me? I have to go find him.

Ollie: How? The Bridge is crawling with policemen.

Margaret: There's that thingamajig you told me about.

Ollie: But I was going to use that...

Margaret: You were going to leave me?

Ollie: No, of course not! You're my daughter!

Margaret: They'll never believe you're a bridge inspector.

Ollie: You're right. You're always right.

Ollie: Take this to the Maidenholm bridge, and tell the Bobbies you're there to fix the bridge works.

Arthur: And from Maidenholm, I could get to Apple Holm.

Ollie: Say hello to Percy from me.

Arthur: Well, then... See you on the other side!

Margaret: I don't see how you could have not known.

Ollie: I couldn't have known about the tanks, Meg. I'd never have forgotten such a thing.

Ollie: I'll see the General. He'll tell you. He'll tell us I never knew.

Ollie: Margaret!

Ollie: He has to.

Ollie: Margaret!

### **Infiltrators**

Open/Close

Ollie: Ah! For fuck's sake!

Ollie: Oh for fuck's sake.

### **Headboy Taunts**

Headboy: YOU CAN'T HIDE FOREVER!

Headboy: WE'RE COMING FOR YOU, YOU GREEDY BASTARD!

Ollie: GO EAT A BANGER, YE REEKY SCUNNER!

### **Escape Plan**

Open/Close

Ollie: How the hell do I get out of here? The doors are blocked!

Margaret: We can't stay here! The roof is going to fall on our heads any minute!

Ollie: How about we go back up and jump off the roof?

Margaret: Are you crazy?

Ollie: Well, I have that parachute, so it's better than it sounds.

Margaret: You're going to take a parachute up to the roof and jump off?

Ollie: If you've got a better idea, don't be shy!

### **Headboy's Hostage**

Open/Close

Headboy: Are you setting that fuse right? What if Private Wossname lied to us!

Wastrellette: Calm down! He's not stupid. We've got him locked up. If we don't come back, he'll starve to death!

Ollie: They've captured one of the Home Army lads!

Headboy: He could signal somebody from the window!

Wastrellette: Then why don't you fuck off back to Canary House if you're worried about it!

### **Ollie's Escape**

Open/Close

Margaret: I think they're setting up another bomb!

Ollie: Where the hell are they getting explosives?

Margaret: Oh, wait, they're missing something.

Margaret: No, I think they found it.

Margaret: I think they've stuck the fuse in!

Margaret: They're running away from it!

Ollie: If this doesn't work, I won't feel stupid for long.

Margaret: Chocks away!

Ollie: Margaret! Wait for me!

Ollie: Oh for Christ's sake!

Ollie: Ah! Fuck's sake!
