If you fail, ors...

I hope you're listening, buddy.

If you fail to finish in

the 90 minute window,

you beautiful wife, Abbie,

loses a body part per objective.

K?

Okay.

Mission one.

National bank is

about to be robbed.

Your mission is to get

inside, undetected, during

the robbery and retrieve

the contents of safety

deposit box 1121.

Do you hear me?

If you're compromised,

it's all over.

Think of Abbie,

beautiful, Abbie.

Okay, scout, you

better get a move on.

Your 90 minutes begin now.

Heavy.

Yet, still has a classic

video game setup.

How can we embrace the new

without acknowledging the old?

True that, true that.

Inventory, inventory.

Hit the Grey button.

No inventory menu either?

What, he just pulls out

whatever he has on him?

That's weird, but okay.

Ladies and gentlemen, just in.

We are getting unconfirmed

reports of armed men from

the Southtown branch

of National bank.

No details as of yet.

I'm told one of our

reporters is sending us

text messages from the scene.

From inside the bank.

Please stand by.

I'm gonna stay on the

line today with you.

Orders straight from the top.

Yes, ma'am.

Why don't you just beam me

with excitement over your

assignment?

Max, I didn't mean it

like that. I mean...

Oh, come on, Princess.

Say it with me... smitten!

Who says that anymore?

I say it.

Oh sh*t.

I wonder if I uh...

Max, stay on the mission.

We're on a time table remember?

Yeah, totally.

Max!

I told you to stay

on the mission!

Well, I guess I don't want

any stars or anything.

Don't do that again.

What? It's just a game.

Relax.

Just having a little

fun, that's all.

Um, yeah. Just remember

the clock is running.

Yeah, right.

Oh sh*t.

How the hell am I supposed

to get in there undetected?

- Let's move.

- Dear god, please!

- Please no!

- Stay down!

We see movement,

we start shooting.

Get it?

Open the vault!

Gotta be the manager.

Hey!

Get the bags ready.

What are you doing?

How do I talk to people?

Hit the black button with

the cursor over her.

Hey, baby.

Hey, baby.

What?

Yeah.

I've never seen mpc's

react like that before.

Well it's probably because

you're being a douche.

Oh hey!

Sweetie pie.

Oh, you getting a little

jealous on me or what?

Uh, hardly.

I kinda like it.

I need to access safety

deposit box 1121.

Are you crazy?

I need to access safety

deposit box 1121.

Wait, where do I know you from?

I need the keys, ma'am.

You're gonna get

yourself killed.

I need the keys right now.

I don't have them.

They're in my desk.

It's over there.

Well, I think this is two

points for difficulty.

Get down!

Okay.

Bingo.

Oh!

What is this?

Is this thing on?

Hey, you got a hot

shot over here.

Drop the gun or you're dead.

3, 2, 1.

Okay, okay!

- I got the bag.

- Sweet!

Tryna murk some mpc's.

Stealth is key for

this mission, Max.

Thanks for the tip.

And um, don't kill any hostages.

You'll fail the mission.

Um, someone's being a

little drama queen.

Relax.

I can always reload

and auto-save.

Hey, you're all gonna die.

Get him!

Everybody, stay down!

Stay down!

Check right.

Clear.

What was that?

I didn't copy.

Come again.

Smile for the cameras.

I see him!

Knock, knock.

You're dead.

Hey, I'm gonna take

a quick break.

Why won't this damn thing pause?

Uh, I'll look into it.

Well, I'm still taking a break.

Man's gotta take a leak.

We're here with bank

manager, Lillian Brandt,

who is one of the hostages

in this crisis.

Can you confirm that he

killed all the suspects?

No, he stopped them.

And you're saying this

man is Orson creed.

What the hell?

I didn't recognize him at first.

It was a mess in there.

The Orson creed who was

recently fired following

disputes with sentinel

ceo, Andrew Kincaid?

No.

He saved my life.

I just wish that

I could thank him.

It just seemed like he was

gone as fast as he came.

If you're out there, thank you.

We're awaiting comment

from sentinel and

authorities tell us attempts

to contact Orson creed

- no, this is not right.

- And his wife have failed.

Ladies and gentlemen, you

are as confused as we are.

Stay with us.

Ladies and gentlemen,

these cellphone photos

just came to us from

our source inside.

Uh, it looks pretty convincing.

Orson creed, apparent

hero, leaving the bank

with two million dollars.

As far as we know, the

money has not been

recovered and there is

no sign of Orson creed.

Is everything okay?

I'm calling the police.

What!

Max, no!

Max!

9-1-1 operator.

Sit down and play the game.

What's going on?

I should be asking you that.

I sit down and start

playing this brand new game

and all of a sudden my mission

is on the goddamn news.

- There's no way.

- Calm down, Max.

Calm down?

Calm down.

Just tell me.

Did I just kill a

bunch of people?

You need to listen

to me right now.

You need to keep playing, Max.

Trust me, just keep playing.

You have to.

Not until I figure

out what's going on.

The only thing I'm doing is

turning this damn thing off.

Max, no!

Hello, Max.

No, this is not happening.

Shut up!

And listen very, very carefully.

Your life depends on it.

Now let me be perfectly clear.

If you, Max, try to call

the authorities, turn off

your console, or

leave the house...

Which shouldn't be a

problem for you, right?

We're going to kill your

girl and then we're gonna

tell the cops what you did.

What?

What are you talking about?

I'd check your bank account.

I can see it in

the headlines now.

Say it isn't so, Max.

Sh*t.

I think you get the point.

Now finish the game.

Max.

Max.

You have to finish the game.

Ors!

I knew you'd make it.

Good job.

Very exciting stuff.

Your wife keeps

her digits for now.

Let's see how you do on

round two, shall we?

There's a private school

a few miles north.

There's about to be

another shooting.

Get there and wait for

further instructions.

Please try to stay in the game.

I can't believe you're

a part of all this.

They didn't give me a choice.

Save it.

You're just a voice!

Tech support.

Okay, champ!

Good god, this guy is annoying.

There's a shooter

in the building.

The authorities are

about to be contacted.

Internal security will

attempt to take him out.

You are going to stop them.

- What?

- You heard it right, folks.

Your mission is to

protect the shooter.

And if you refuse, I've

been itching to spend some

time with Abbie.

Clock starts now.

I'm not doing this.

No.

Max, you have to.

No!

I don't wanna die.

I'm sorry.

Oh god.

Let me go!

Let me go!

They're gonna kill my mother!

You!

No, no, no, no!

Max.

Max! You have to get

him out of there.

Ladies and gentlemen,

we go now to frank b. Cooper

high school where a shooting

has just taken place.

Tragic day for our city.

You look sad, Orsy.

Why the blues?

You should be so happy.

Abbie's still in one piece.

Nothing?

No witty comeback?

That hurts my feelings.

Your next mission is a juicy...
