Moscow Mole/Transcript

At the Bureau's Russian headquarters, Moscow...

Ingrid Bjorn: , Chief Ripley and I would like a quick word with you.

Chief Ripley: I know there's some hard feelings about what happened in Europe, . Misleading you was a difficult but necessary decision.

Chief Ripley: But it worked exactly as I'd hoped! Bahir no longer poses a threat and you've made progress in learning about SOMBRA.

Chief Ripley: However, if we're to take down an international terrorist organization, it's essential that you learn to trust me again.

Chief Ripley: There's no time for group hugs, though. We're here in Russia to assist Natasha Romanova, the head of the country's space agency and incidentally, Marina's mother!

Chief Ripley: I'll let her brief you on the situation, but I will say this: there could be disastrous consequences worldwide if Natasha's suspicions prove to be true!

(Natasha enters the room.)

Natasha: Pleased to meet you  . I appreciate you're very busy at the Bureau, but COSMORUS's new project is nearing completion and there's rumors of a mole in the organization.

(Chief Ripley and Ingrid leave the room.)

Natasha: We cannot afford any leaks, so naturally I wanted the best of the best on the case.

(Marina enters the room.)

Marina: And Russian intelligence wasn't good enough for you, mother? I still can't believe we came all the way to Russia just for this, when we're supposed to be hunting down SOMBRA!

Natasha: Don't be so petulant, darling. Aren't you happy to see your mother? Anyway, I was thinking that   should get a feel for Moscow, find their feet a little.

Natasha: And where better to begin than the Red Square? I'll meet you there,  .

(Natasha leaves the room.)

Marina: , you need to keep your wits about you. That woman cannot be trusted!

(Jack enters the room, wearing a winter coat.)

Jack: Marina! You shouldn't talk about Ripley like that!

Jack: I know we're all feeling betrayed right now. But we have to remember that the Chief had our best interests at heart!

Jack: Oh, you were discussing your mother? Don't mind me then...

Jack: And we're heading to the Red Square, ? Well you'd better wrap up warm, it's chilly out there!

Chapter 1
Investigate Red Square.

Jack Archer: You've got to be kidding me! Another country, another dead body? We have the worst luck, !

(Natasha arrives on the scene.)

Natasha: Ah,  , you're already her-

Natasha: Oh, my! I know this woman,  . Her name's Darya Chernova!

Natasha: I almost didn't recognize her with her glasses missing. They have a unique tortoise shell design... They must be around here somewhere!

Jack: No matter where they are,  <Name> will find them! We're going to have to ask you to stand aside, Ms Romanova. <Rank> <Name> will need to talk to you about the murder in a moment.

(Natasha steps aside.)

Jack: Have you grabbed any clues, <Name>? Some torn pieces? You're right, they were just next to the victim's hand - she must have dropped them!

Jack: And a gold bracelet? I can't read the inscription, though. Do you think you can make out the letters?

Examine Torn Paper.

Jack: Check out this subway ticket, <Name>! It's just like the ones we used to get to the Red Square!

Jack: It's all in Russian, but I've definitely seen these station names before. It looks like the victim traveled to our crime scene from Komsomolskaya station.

Jack: Good thinking, <Name>! Let's retrace Darya's steps by heading to Komsomolskaya station. If we're lucky, we might find some clues about her killer!

Investigate Komsomolskaya Station.

Jack: You picked up a surveillance camera, <Name>? Great idea! If the victim came here, chances are that camera caught her on video!

Jack: You also grabbed some glasses? You're right, these must be the victim's glasses that Natasha told us about. She did say they had a tortoise shell design!

Jack: And you're right, there's a brown substance on them! Let's collect a sample!

Examine Surveillance Camera.

Jack: Great job, <Name>! You unlocked that surveillance camera in a flash!

Jack: No doubt our resident goth geek will be able to decipher all those files in it. Let's send the surveillance camera to Elliot!

Examine Glasses.

Jack: You've collected a sample of that gross brown substance from the victim's glasses! Well, rather you than me! Let's get it to Lars!

Examine Gold Bracelet.

Jack: What does the name plate on this gold bracelet say? "Darya and Oleg"? So the bracelet belonged to our victim!

Jack: And I'd bet my bottom dollar that this Oleg was her husband. We'd better inform him of his wife's death, <Name>!

Inform Oleg Chernov of his wife's murder.

Jack: Mr Chernov, I'm afraid <Rank> <Name> is here to inform you that your wife has been murdered. Can you think of anyone who might've wanted to hurt her?

Oleg: What the hell would I know? I hardly ever saw the woman. She was always working!

Oleg: All Darya cared about... was her job. It was always... job first, Oleg second!

Jack: You don't seem very upset about her murder. How much have you drank, may I ask?

Oleg: And that's notherthing! She always say Oleg drink too much! But... not true! Bryed! Oleg not drink too much. Darya not drink enough!

Jack: <Name>, I don't think we're going to get anything of use out of this guy. Stick around, Mr Chernov. We'll talk to you again when you're sober.

Ask Natasha Romanova about the victim.

Jack: Ms Romanova, what can you tell us about the victim?

Natasha: Darya was one of my most trusted employees! She's worked for me at COSMORUS for years!

Natasha: Darya was head of project management. She was my right-hand woman, in charge of funding and implementing new projects. She might have had a high-flying job, but she wouldn't have hurt a fly!

Natasha: I simply can't imagine why anyone would want to do something like this to someone as harmless as Darya!

Natasha: Unless... unless she uncovered something about the mole in COSMORUS!

Natasha: Yes! That must be it. She must have identified the mole and they killed her to avoid being unmasked!

Natasha: Oh, this is all my fault! If only I'd called you sooner, <Rank> <Name>. Maybe Darya would still be alive!

Jack: Let's not jump to conclusions just yet, Ms Romanova. <Rank> <Name> will examine all the evidence and get to the bottom of this murder!
