The Sweet Escape/Transcript

On a boat, off the coast of Indonesia...

Chief Elizabeth Ripley: , it's time to step up our game. SOMBRA almost got a one up on us by kidnapping Elliot in Singapore, and it's only thanks to you that we got him back safely!

Elizabeth: From what Elliot's told us, the SOMBRA agent who kidnapped him was planning on bringing him here, to Indonesia. And we need to find out why!

Elliot: And I'll help you every step of the way, !

Elizabeth: Elliot! I wish you'd heeded my advice and stayed on dry land to recover from your ordeal.

Elliot: And I wish you guys would stop treating me like a kid. I keep telling you - I'm fine!

Elliot: Besides, I wanna do my part in discovering what kind of experiments SOMBRA's carrying out on their brainwashed recruits!

Elizabeth: Fine. But I want you to take it easy for a while. We'll need you in top form later.

Jack: Hey Chief, I think I can see somebody passed out on the beach!

Elizabeth: Whoever they are, they could be related to SOMBRA! Open the throttle, ! You need to reach that beach, NOW!

Chapter 1
Investigate Beach.

Jack Archer: We're too late, . This girl's dead! Someone's speared her!

Jack: You're right - we've seen this girl before! She was in the SOMBRA DVD we found in Japan - the one which mentioned the "next level" program!

Jack: And if she's here in Indonesia, we're definitely hot on SOMBRA's trail!

Jack: Do you think SOMBRA might've killed her, ? But why would they kill one of their recruits?! Something's off, I agree.

Jack: We'd better send her body to Angela - it's a good thing we've got all our equipment back on the boat...

Jack: Well spotted - that's our victim! And it looks like she was pretty close to this guy, whoever he is.

Jack: You'd better see if we can find him in the database. If we're lucky, it might also give us our victim's ID!

Jack: And this camera mgiht be our ticket to a fast arrest... if you can unlock its secrets!

Jack: If we're going to uncover what SOMBRA's up to, then solving this murder is our first course of action! Let's do this, !

Examine Unknown Man.

Jack: So the guy in the photo with our victim is Alam Somalinggi. He's a 25-year-old local fisherman.

Jack: And the database also gave us our victim's ID! She's his sister, Riaja Somalinggi.

Jack: Now for the part I hate: let's go inform Alam of his sister's death, .

Inform Alam Somalinggi of his sister's death.

Jack: Mr Somalinggi, we're sorry to inform you that your sister, Riaja, has been murdered.

Alam (crying): Then I've failed her! I was all she had after our parents died... It was my duty to protect her!

Jack: Do you have any idea what might've happened to her?

Alam: No. Her behavior became unpredictable once she hit her teens. One time, she disappeared for months and all I could do was wait for her to return!

Jack: Do you know where Riaja went during that time?

Alam: No, she refused to tell me anything. She was never the same after she pulled that stunt!

Alam: And yet, she still took the toy monkey I gave her when we were kids everywhere... even when she went missing! I bought it because she loved nothing more than playing in the monkey forest.

Alam: You didn't find the toy, did you,  ?

Jack: A... toy monkey? I'm afraid we didn't. But we'll keep an eye out for it.

Alam: I appreciate it,  . That toy has sentimental value, and I'd like something of Riaja's to hold on to.

Jack: You're right, . The way Alam spoke about Riaja's unusual behavior suggests he had no idea she'd been recruited by SOMBRA!

Jack: But good thinking, he did mention Riaja liked to visit the forest. Let's go have a look, we might be lucky!

Investigate Monkey Bridge.

(Before investigating Monkey Bridge)

In the monkey forest...

Jack: , keep your eyes peeled for anything that could've belonged to our victim-

(A monkey lands on Jack's left shoulder.)

Jack: Argh! Where did that monkey come from?!

(The monkey takes Jack's sunglasses.)

Jack: , get it off me!

(The monkey gets off with Jack's sunglasses.)

Jack: That scamp stole my sunglasses! But... they're essential to my flirting technique! We've gotta get them back!

(After investigating Monkey Bridge)

(Jack has taken back and worn his sunglasses.)

Jack: A-ha! Take that, you thieving monkey! I knew you'd get my sunglasses back, .

Jack: And they're not the only thing it stole! What about that toy monkey it was holding?

Jack: Oh, you're right! Our victim's brother said Riaja never went anywhere without her toy monkey - I bet this is hers!

Jack: There's some kind of powder on the toy. Let's vacuum it up!

Jack: You also found a broken test tube? I wonder how that got out here - I bet those monkeys broke it! Think you can collect a sample?

Examine Broken Test Tube.

Jack: You've collected a sample of that liquid from the broken test tube? Let's get it back to the boat and put it under the microscope!

Examine Blue Substance.

Jack: What does the microscope report say about that substance you collected from the broken test tube, ?

Jack: The substance contains sel... selenium oxydichloride and ferric hexa... hexacyanoferrate. That's quite the mouthful-

Lars: <Name>, be careful! That combination is what turned me blue in Thailand!

Jack: You mean like that professor we met, the one who turned himself blue thanks to his experiments?

Lars: Right - Professor Metcalf! He must be in these parts. I can't wait to catch up with him!

Jack: That'll have to wait, bro. This is the second time Professor Metcalf's been implicated in the murder of a SOMBRA recruit.

Jack: Just what are the chances of that, <Name>? We need a chat with Professor Metcalf!

Ask Professor Metcalf why he is on the island.

Jack: Hello, Professor. May we ask what you're doing here? Indonesia seems an unlikely location for a scientist.

Marshall: It's the perfect location, <Rank> <Name>! The monkey forest provides me with an endless supply of test subjects.

Jack: You're here to experiment on the monkeys?! That's animal cruelty!

Marshall: I don't test anything on them that I haven't tested on myself first! Anyway, what do you want from me, <Rank> <Name>?

Jack: We've found a girl named Riaja Somalinggi murdered. We're looki-

Marshall: Never heard of her. Anyway, if you'll excuse me, I need to get back to my experiments, <Rank> <Name>.

Examine Toy Monkey.

Jack: That powder you vacuumed up from the toy monkey was covering a message! It reads "To the best little sister in the world."

Jack: This proves it's the toy our victim's brother gave her when they were kids. He said she still took it everywhere with her, though, so how did it end up in this forest?

Jack: Good idea, this yellow dust might tell us more. Let's get it to Lars!

Analyze Powder.

Lars: Hey, <Name>! I've got a joke-

Jack: Dude, I love your jokes, but we've gotta solve this murder ASAP if we want to stay hot on SOMBRA's trail!

Jack: So just tell us about that powder <Name> collected from our victim's toy monkey.

Lars: You sure don't monkey around, do you, <Name>?

Lars: Okay, okay. The powder you sent me contained ginger and turmeric...

Lars: Both of which are used to make jamu, a local herbal medicine!

Lars: You can see itinerant jamu sellers carrying their wares in a basket all across Indonesia!

Lars: And before you ask, <Name>, Angela said there was no trace of jamu in the victim's body, and that stuff stays in your system for days!

Jack: So the jamu didn't come from our victim... Not to mention we found her body in the beach and the toy was in the forest! What does that tell us?

Jack: <Name>, you're right! The only person who could've touched that toy after the victim died is our killer!

Jack: So our killer takes jamu herbal medicine! Well, a hefty prison sentence is just what the doctor ordered, <Name>!

Examine Camera.

Jack: You managed to unlock that camera, <Name>? Let's click play and see what's on it!

Start of footage...

(Paul Irwin is seen holding a crocodile egg.)

Paul: G'day folks! This is Paul Irwin. I'm filming in Indonesia, where we're about to see something extraordinary.

Paul (ponting to the egg): What I've got here is a crocodile egg, and I reckon it's about ready to hatch.

(The egg starts cracking.)

Paul: Saltwater crocodiles lay up to 60 eggs at a time and it takes about three months-

(The baby crocodile pops out of the egg.)

Paul: Holy smokes! Take a look at this little guy!

Paul: What a privilege it's been to witness nature at work! Until next time, folks!

End of footage...

Jack: O-kay... that guy is dripping with enthusiasm. How does this help our investigation though, <Name>?

Jack: Oh, I see your point! He was filming on our crime scene... So he might've seen something! Let's go talk to this Paul!

Ask Paul Irwin if he knows anything about the murder.

Jack: Excuse me, Mr Irwin, we believe this camera we found on the beach belongs to you?

Paul: Crikey! Thanks, <Rank> <Name>. It would've been a crying shame to lose such cracking footage!

Paul: I've been filming my latest documentary nearby. It's called "Cuddly Crocs: The World's Most Misundestood Creatures." I mean, did you know-

Jack (holding up a picture of Riaja): I hate to interrupt, Mr Irwin, but <Rank> <Name> is investigating this girl's murder, which took place close to where you were filming.

Paul: I'm afraid I didn't see anything, <Rank> <Name>. So if she wasn't killed by a croc, I can't help ya!

Autopsy Victim's Body.

Angela: <Name>, I can't believe I have to autopsy another person. Seeing any life cut short is tragic, but it really hits home when they're barely more than kids.

Angela: What's more, there was something unusual about your victim... She had yellow eyes!

Jack: You mean she wasn't just wearing contact lenses? What the heck could've turned her eyes yellow?

Angela: Unfortunately, I couldn't determine the cause. What I can tell you is that the victim was shot from behind with a speargun, at a distance of 20 feet.

Angela: Spearguns are commonly used in fishing communities like those which exist on some Indonesian islands, where fishermen still dive to catch their fish.

Angela: Normally, the spear doesn't come completely detached from the barrel, though. So keep your eyes peeled for the rest of the speargun, <Name>.

Angela: Anyway, the spear pierced your victim's right lung, causing a pneumothorax - otherwise known as a collapsed lung.

Angela: But more importantly, after examining the angle and velocity at which the spear penetrated your victim's body, I can tell you that your killer's dominant hand is their left hand!

Jack: Our killer's left-handed, eh? Well, they'll be left with a murder conviction once you've caught them, <Name>!

Later, back on the boat...

Jack: This time, we're definitely hot on SOMBRA's heels, <Name>! After all, our victim is none other than one of their recruits!

Jack: Her brother clearly had no idea, but then again, who expects their little sister to be indoctrinated by a criminal organization

Jack: Professor Metcalf is also here, and he's up to no good testing on monkeys!

Jack: And speaking of experiments, we still don't know exactly what SOMBRA's up to!

Elliot: <Name>, I've got a lead!

Jack: Elliot, you heard what the Chief said about taking a break-

Elliot: But this is important! We've had another tip-off from X!

Elliot: There's a SOMBRA camp on the island - and X gave me the coordinates!
