Risk It All/Transcript

*[The mission starts on the rooftop of Chris's House in Perez, at night. Chris is overlooking the city.]*

**CHRIS**: This city. My home. And I’m about to risk it all and leave it, to go to some foreign dimension. My life was alright up until I met James. Then things took a turn. But was it for the worse?

*[Chris gets a call from Joey. He answers.]*

**CHRIS**: Joey! Yo, man, where you at?

**JOEY**: At Starlings', yo! They got the best burritos! Listen to this: *[farts]* NOBODY’s got burritos that make you do THAT!

**CHRIS**: Damn, I almost smell that through the call. But I’m sure other burritos make you fart as well.

**JOEY**: Oh, everything makes me fart. I was just making a point. Look, the clerk’s laughing. Hey, where are you all going? Come back!

**CHRIS**: What happened?

**JOEY**: Everyone ran out of the restaurant. Meh.

**CHRIS**: *[laughs]* Aight, good talk. Now, why did you call exactly?

**JOEY**: Oh, I can’t tell you here. Lemme leave first.

*[We hear the door open, and Joey’s footsteps through the phone.]*

**JOEY**: Alright, listen up now. I think I know how Father Time is getting your whereabouts. Like how you said he always knows where you are.

**CHRIS**: I’m listening.

**JOEY**: Charles has been digging in and there was a satellite dish receiver recently installed on the top of Clergy Tower. And I have a hunch that it has something to do with how Father Time knows everything that’s going on, like you said he does.

**CHRIS**: So head up there by the big golf ball, find the receiver, and destroy it?

**JOEY**: Yup. But make sure you secure it first. Don’t wanna accidentally destroy some evidence.

**CHRIS**: I got it.

**JOEY**: Is that what that thing is? A giant golf ball?

**CHRIS**: I have no idea.

*[The player must get to the top of the building, find the beeping satellite dish, and approach it. A cutscene plays which shows Chris crouch down to it, look around it for any evidence, and sure enough, a small microchip-like device is sticking out of it. Chris grabs this chip and destroys the satellite dish with a Sun Bomb.]*

**JOEY**: You did it?

**CHRIS**: Yup. And there was a microchip thing sticking out of it.

**JOEY**: Did you get it?

**CHRIS**: Of course.

**JOEY**: Awesome. Bring that back to me, I’ll give it to Charles and maybe he can do some stuff and see what’s on it.

**CHRIS**: Aight.

*[The player must head back to Jack’s house. Joey will be waiting for Chris at the door. When Chris enters, Joey closes the door behind him.]*

**JOEY**: So, you got the chip?

*[Chris raises his hand, showing the chip.]*

**CHARLES**: Good. I’ll take that, try to see if anything useful is on it.

**JOEY**: Alright, while he’s doing that, can I make you a cup of coffee?

**CHRIS**: No thanks, homie, I’m good.

**JOEY**: So, did you have like a job or anything before you met James?

**CHRIS**: No. But my life was hell.

**MELANIE**: How so?

**CHRIS**: Well, I can tell you a bit about myself, if you’d like.

**JOEY**: Sure.

**CHRIS**: Aight. Well, my homie Mark and I were tight. Then one day, a few years ago, Mark owed the leader of the G Gang something. He paid up, but the leader still wanted more. I guess out of anger, Mark shot and killed him, and me and him ran out of the place.

**MELANIE**: Oh my God!

**CHRIS**: And from that day until the day I met James, the gang was after us. Every day I lived in fear, afraid of what was to come. And I was right. Eventually, a few weeks ago, Mark was finally killed by those damn thugs. I was lucky to survive, but that’s because James Derettas had my back. That’s when I met James.

**JOEY**: Wow.

**CHRIS**: That’s pretty much my story. Anything before that is a blur.

**JOEY**: That’s all you remember?

**CHRIS**: Well, I remember my childhood. Wasn’t really raised well, y’know? Dropped out of school, momma raised me to be who I was. But who was I? Not good, I’ll tell you that.
JOEY: But you’re changed now, right?

**CHRIS**: Of course. All this has shaped me to be who I really am. I guess I just didn’t see that back then.

**MELANIE**: Well, anyone can change if they’re accepting. But they have to make the first step. And I can see, you did.

**CHRIS**: Thanks, Melanie.

**JOEY**: And you’re welcome to stay with us anytime, bud.

**CHRIS**: Thanks, Joey. This means a lot to me.

*[Chris and Joey pat-hug again. Chris hugs Melanie.]*

**CHARLES**: That was a sweet moment, but I decrypted this chip.

**CHRIS**: What’ve you got?

**CHARLES**: It shows that a man named Davis Frewar installed the receiver. Ah, yes! He was affiliated with an unknown crew. Most likely affiliated with Father Time.

**CHRIS**: I think it’s time we pay this guy a little visit.

**MELANIE**: But how do you know he’s even still in the city?

**CHARLES**: I’ll check now. But the satellite was only installed a few weeks ago... right during the time Father Time first became known!

**JOEY**: That can’t be a coincidence. Scan the city for Davis right now.

**CHARLES**: I am. It looks like he is still here. But he’s at the airport, looks like he’s waiting for a plane.

**JOEY**: Uh, oh. Chris, go after him right now. We can’t let this guy leave!

**CHRIS**: On it!

*[The player must head to the airport, fast. Once they arrive at the front of the terminal, they must head inside and find Davis, who is waiting for his flight. When the player approaches him, a cutscene starts which shows Chris grab Davis. However, at this moment, Davis pulls out a pistol and is about to shoot Chris. The player must act fast and pull out Chris’s pistol as time slows down, and shoot Davis in the leg. Davis collapses and exclaims in pain.]*

**CHRIS**: Alright, Davis, you’ve lost. What do you know about Father Time?!

*[Security guards run over to Chris, but he puts up a force field of light energy around him and Davis before they can reach him.]*

**DAVIS**: I don't know what you’re talking about! What the fuck is this?! Who are you?!

**CHRIS**: Don’t worry about who I am, you just worry about TALKING!

Chris prepares his light energy, about to shoot Davis with it.

**CHRIS**: I know you know something!

**DAVIS**: Alright! I’ll talk! Yeah, OK, Father Time! He… he forced me to install a satellite dish for him on the roof of Clergy Tower!

**CHRIS**: And what does it do?!

**DAVIS**: It’s supposed to make it easier for Father Time to scan the city and track people’s locations! It can also pick up on anyone’s conversations within the city!

**CHRIS**: So THAT’S how he knows everything. Joey was right.

**DAVIS**: What?!

*[The player must execute Davis by shooting a Projectile at his head. Once Davis is dead, Chris shoots up in the air, through the ceiling of the terminal, and is now on the roof. The force field below dissipates. Chris calls Joey.]*

**CHRIS**: Joey, I got what I needed. Davis is dead.

**JOEY**: What? Why’d you kill him?

**CHRIS**: I couldn’t risk him running around revealing my secrets. He had to go.

**JOEY**: Alright, I guess. But remember, we want the people to love and respect you, not fear you. I tried steering James down the right path when he was in your shoes, but it didn’t work at first. People feared him. But eventually he stepped up his game, and people loved him again.

**CHRIS**: So what are you saying?

**JOEY**: I’m saying, don’t kill people. Be a hero, man, and people will love you.

**CHRIS**: Alright. But if someone poses a threat against me, they’re gone. Like Davis was.

**JOEY**: Alright, man. Just heed my advice. I’d assume the cops are after you, so you better lose them. When you do, come see me, and we’ll plan the bigger picture.

*[The player must lose the heat to complete the mission.]*
