|
Helping the family out? That's dangerous work... Hope you're being safe about it.
|
|
2
|
00732A5E
|
00732A80
|
Not a bad instinct. Happy to have the extra body.
|
|
3
|
00732A5F
|
00732A82
|
Pop... So he's not totally gone. That's reassuring. Or upsetting. Haven't decided yet, and don't have time to.
|
|
4
|
00732A60
|
00732A81
|
The Family? Steer clear of them, Vin. They're trouble.
|
|
5
|
What has you looking for those gangsters, anyway? Your new friend here drag you into this?
|
|
6
|
00732A65
|
00732A8C
|
Hah! I like that attitude.
|
|
7
|
00732A69
|
00732A84
|
Oh, it's you! Who were you, again?
|
|
8
|
00732A86
|
So what did Pop have to say? Anything comprehensible?
|
|
9
|
00732A89
|
Okay, now that we're here, it's time to find Sloane.
|
|
10
|
She used to patrol this area, said if I ever needed help to head this way and she'd find me.
|
|
11
|
00732A8B
|
Always nice to see some friendly faces, though I don't recognize yours.
|
|
12
|
007345E2
|
Hey, you! Yeah, you! You're gonna come over here and settle an argument for us. We was just about to take our lunch break, but I ain't leaving until we figure this out.
|
|
13
|
Tell this guy it's real.
|
|
14
|
00734608
|
You're back! That was incredible, what did you find?
|
|
15
|
00734857
|
We used to use pipes like these to pump the water out of buildings and go hunting for salvage.
|
|
16
|
But couldn't we reverse the flow, and use the pressure to flush the Family out?
|
|
17
|
With the right adjustments, we can blast enough water inside to take out any guards and create some kind of opening.
|
|
18
|
007348A3
|
H-Hey, look, I just work here, okay? I don't want any more trouble. Take what you want, but don't hurt me!
|
|
19
|
007348A4
|
We did it... The plan worked!
|
|
20
|
0073E9B6
|
So, you going to follow in Vinny's footsteps and come with?
|
|
21
|
0073FCA1
|
Phew. That brought back some memories.
|
|
22
|
0073FCA2
|
It's real!
|
|
23
|
0074F790
|
I heard your "work" from out here. Not how I would have done it, but impressive nonetheless. I hope you have something to show for your violence?
|
|
24
|
0074F791
|
Look, I can't just give out classified info... You'll have to make me an offer better than the kneecaps I'll lose for telling you.
|
|
25
|
00753BB9
|
How did I not see it? Pop...
|
|
26
|
00733312
|
00733315
|
It's nice to know I haven't lost my touch.
|
|
27
|
007345B6
|
00734606
|
Really? Then we were right! I can hardly believe it!
|
|
28
|
007345B7
|
00734607
|
I think I know the building you're talking about.
|
|
29
|
We received reports of people slinking around that area, but it's so full of Overgrown that I dismissed the idea out of hand.
|
|
30
|
That was dumb of me... Let's head that way, see what's there. Maybe we can sneak inside.
|
|
31
|
007345B8
|
007345E3
|
I need proof, or I ain't budging.
|
|
32
|
007345BA
|
007345D8
|
Whoa, what? You mean what I saw was commie money?
|
|
33
|
007345BE
|
007345D3
|
That's no way to win an argument!
|
|
34
|
007345C0
|
007345DC
|
What in the--? Let me see that!
|
|
35
|
Well I'll be damned! Is this some kind of trick? No... it is real!
|
|
36
|
007345C2
|
007345DB
|
Unbelievable. You just walk into someone else's conversation and side with this instigator?
|
|
37
|
There's no way the two-dollar bill ever existed. What would you even use it for? We don't have a two-cap cap, do we? There's no need!
|
|
38
|
007345C3
|
007345D4
|
See! What'd I tell ya!
|
|
39
|
007345C5
|
007345DD
|
The two-dollar bill!
|
|
40
|
007345C7
|
007345D5
|
Missing the good old days?
|
|
41
|
007345C8
|
007345DE
|
I don't miss the danger. But it does feel good to be a Muni again, even as a fill-in.
|
|
42
|
007345CA
|
007345D6
|
Hmm, worth a shot.
|
|
43
|
We'll hang back and keep watch from this direction. Good luck!
|
|
44
|
007345CC
|
007345DF
|
Whoa, you sure? The Family doesn't always respond well to reason.
|
|
45
|
007345CE
|
007345D9
|
That sounds... extreme.
|
|
46
|
007345CF
|
007345D7
|
Hey, let's not turn this into a blood feud with the Family if we can help it, alright?
|
|
47
|
00734848
|
00734879
|
These pumps are finicky. We'll need to turn the valves in the right order to reverse the flow.
|
|
48
|
The valves are marked with their numbers. I think the order should be: three, two, four, one. Can you remember that?
|
|
49
|
00734849
|
00734876
|
I've needed a breather for years. But we're too close to our goal. Let's keep going.
|
|
50
|
0073484B
|
0073487A
|
*sigh* Okay, concentrate... Back to business.
|
|
51
|
0073484E
|
00734858
|
Let's start over. It's three, two, four, one.
|
|
52
|
0073484F
|
0073485A
|
No, that's not quite right.
|
|
53
|
00734850
|
00734855
|
Now that you mention it, we did have an incident once where a newbie mixed up the valve order and blasted a bunch of Overgrown to kingdom come...
|
|
54
|
00734880
|
0073489F
|
Now we just need to look around and see if there's a cure stashed here somewhere.
|
|
55
|
Before we do, though, tell me something. Once we're past all this, do you think I should come back here? Leave the business, try and return to my old life?
|
|
56
|
00734882
|
0073489D
|
Seems like we owe my father another visit. Senile or not, we have to get him to cough up some info if we want to save Abbie.
|
|
57
|
00734883
|
007348A2
|
I guess it is. It's just hard to come to terms with that. I chose a different path, after all.
|
|
58
|
I never saw myself as someone who would drop everything to 'follow his dream.' It just never seemed realistic.
|
|
59
|
When my family came begging, I went back to them. It just seemed like the right thing to do. I always want to do what's right.
|
|
60
|
I'm just not sure what that is right now.
|
|
61
|
00734884
|
007348A0
|
Which is why I never considered it an option.
|
|
62
|
I'm Mr. Dependable, and I take pride in that. I tend the bar, I keep the books, I look after my little sis.
|
|
63
|
It's just... Being here, doing what I love again... It's really made me reconsider, you know?
|
|
64
|
00734885
|
00734886
|
Whoa! That did it! Let's get in there and clear out what's left!
|
|
65
|
00735519
|
0073551F
|
You know I'd love to have you back, Vin. But Abbie comes first.
|
|
66
|
0073551A
|
00735522
|
That's what I keep telling myself. But there's a part of me that still thinks I did wrong by you.
|
|
67
|
0073551B
|
00735520
|
They're your family, Vin. You did the right thing.
|
|
68
|
0073551C
|
00735524
|
You're pulling my leg. There's no way...
|
|
69
|
0073551D
|
00735523
|
I'm telling you, it's real! I've seen it with my own two eyes.
|
|
70
|
0073551E
|
00735521
|
We made it. Thanks, Vin, you held up pretty well after your hiatus.
|
|
71
|
0073E954
|
0073E995
|
Alright, I saw some of my cadets head down the road past your makeshift landing pad. Head over there and help out anyone you can find.
|
|
72
|
Vin and I will take our own path and help out the rest. Meet us up the road closer to City Hall when you're done.
|
|
73
|
I have a hunch about where we can find that warehouse of yours.
|
|
74
|
Good luck.
|
|
75
|
0073E955
|
0073E99A
|
You really must be new here. Think plants, but mutants.
|
|
76
|
They creep over everything and everyone, devouring it all. Their spores infect things and turn them into mindless drones.
|
|
77
|
They've always been out there in the Pine Barrens, ever since the war.
|
|
78
|
It's our job to keep them out of the city proper so the people here can enjoy the lives they've made for themselves.
|
|
79
|
0073E956
|
0073E9A5
|
Trust me, this is the right way to go about this.
|
|
80
|
Abbie's stable for the moment, but these Munis could be dying this very minute. And the search could take days without Sloane's help.
|
|
81
|
0073E957
|
0073E99C
|
You sound even more determined than Vin does.
|
|
82
|
0073E958
|
0073E998
|
And what about you? You as good a Samaritan as Mr. Russo here?
|
|
83
|
0073E959
|
0073E9B0
|
Listen, you're our best bet for finding that warehouse. Let us help you. Together we can find your squad faster, and then you can repay the favor.
|
|
84
|
0073E95A
|
0073E9AC
|
Vin... I'm so sorry.
|
|
85
|
You know I want to help, but first I've got my own problem to solve.
|
|
86
|
I'm only out this way because my squad got scattered fighting Overgrown nearby. I'm still missing a lot of my people.
|
|
87
|
I need to find them, but there's a lot of ground to cover.
|
|
88
|
0073E95B
|
0073E99F
|
Abbie's on Devil's Blood. We're here trying to find an antidote.
|
|
89
|
I know the mob moves in and out of the district. Don't ask me how.
|
|
90
|
It's the perfect place to hide chems. Tucked in a dangerous part of town away from their precious casino, out of the spotlight.
|
|
91
|
If they do have a warehouse here, maybe we can find a lead on a cure. Please, I need your help.
|
|
92
|
0073E95C
|
0073E993
|
Oh really? And what exactly is this "problem," Vin?
|
|
93
|
0073E95D
|
0073E997
|
Helping Abbie? What does Abbie have to do with those lowlifes?
|
|
94
|
0073E95E
|
0073E9AB
|
A "cure?" I hope that doesn't mean what I think it means.
|
|
95
|
0073E95F
|
0073E9A8
|
Abbie... My daughter...
|
|
96
|
Er... Isn't she great? So smart, she can do anything.
|
Close to breaking character
|
97
|
0073E9A9
|
Abbie, darling... Such a strong child...
|
|
98
|
0073E9AA
|
Damn! Some father...
|
|
99
|
No, it's not his fault. It's just... I wish he could be here for us right now.
|
|
100
|
00745294
|
Hey, I'm not one of them! Not anymore...
|
|
101
|
00750B76
|
Hang in there, Abbs.
|
Abbs = Abbie, his sister
|
102
|
0073E960
|
0073E9AF
|
Of course we can trust her. Do you think I'd put my sister's life in her hands if we couldn't?
|
|
103
|
Before I moved to Appalachia with my family, I spent some time "away."
|
|
104
|
I left the family business and joined the municipal government. Sloane was my colleague.
|
|
105
|
I wanted to make something more of my life. The Munis help the people of Atlantic City rather than exploiting them.
|
|
106
|
Sloane is a good person. I'm sure she won't lead us astray.
|
|
107
|
0073E962
|
0073E99B
|
Sloane's a friend, a former colleague. She works for the city, doing "street cleaning."
|
|
108
|
Oh, it's not what you're probably thinking -- she's a monster hunter. She and her crew take care of any Overgrown that slip into town from the Pine Barrens.
|
|
109
|
She kills things. Bad things, like Overgrown, mind you. You'll get along great.
|
|
110
|
0073E964
|
0073E9B2
|
Alright, let's see if she still knows my whistle...
|
|
111
|
*whistles*
|
|
112
|
0073E969
|
0073E9A1
|
Alright, we'll need to borrow that Vertibird of yours again. I'm coming with you this time.
|
|
113
|
We'll fly into downtown and I'll get us in contact with an old friend of mine familiar with the rumors. She'll know where to go from there.
|
|
114
|
0073E96C
|
0073E9A4
|
Well... Yeah, it's a stretch, I'll grant you. But it's a starting point.
|
|
115
|
0073E96E
|
0073E992
|
That's right, it's a lead. It could come to nothing, but it's worth a shot.
|
|
116
|
Better than twiddling our thumbs while Abbie wastes away.
|
|
117
|
0073E970
|
0073E9A7
|
Glad you agree. I know it's a long shot, but it gives us a starting point.
|
|
118
|
0073E972
|
0073E996
|
I remember he would take 'business trips' to the city center. That's government territory, so it always struck me as out of character.
|
|
119
|
He told us he had a warehouse there. Never said what it was for, and I never found out, either.
|
|
120
|
If he really was involved with Devil's Blood, though, maybe that place has something to do with it?
|
|
121
|
Maybe the Family is keeping stock there? Even an antidote, if we're lucky?
|
|
122
|
0073E973
|
0073E9AE
|
Hey, that's my sister you're talking about!
|
|
123
|
I am not going to give up so easily!
|
|
124
|
0073E975
|
0073E991
|
Yeah, I'm sure. That chem is much too strong. It's taken more lives than I can count. We can't afford to give her a drop more.
|
|
125
|
0073E977
|
0073E9B5
|
Well, I've been trying to remember anything Dad may have told me about his... 'job' back in the day, and something came to mind.
|
|
126
|
0073E979
|
0073E9A3
|
I agree... Ever since Abbie mentioned Pop, I've been racking my brain, trying to remember anything he might have told me.
|
|
127
|
0073E97B
|
0073E990
|
If he won't help us, we'll need more of a Hail Mary.
|
|
128
|
0073E97E
|
0073E994
|
Damn! Some father...
|
|
129
|
Ugh, sorry. It's not his fault, I know, I just wish he was here for us right now.
|
|
130
|
0073E984
|
0073E9B1
|
Why's it so damn cold in here? Turn up the heat!
|
|
131
|
0073E98A
|
0073E9A2
|
Abbie? In trouble? She... I... If only I could have...
|
Very close to breaking character
|
132
|
Erhm... If only I could have, er, spent more time with her...
|
|
133
|
0073E98C
|
0073E9A0
|
Off a rocker? I don't have a rocker. Left it in Atlantic City.
|
|
134
|
0073E98E
|
0073E9B7
|
Hey, don't be so hard on yourself! I know a lot, but I've been around a long time.
|
|
135
|
0073FC54
|
0073FC92
|
It's fake!
|
|
136
|
0073FC55
|
0073FC90
|
Yeah, get outta here!
|
|
137
|
0073FC56
|
0073FCA3
|
Hmm... This raises more questions. Let's go eat. I think better when I eat.
|
|
138
|
Thanks, stranger.
|
|
139
|
0073FC57
|
0073FC93
|
I told you. No real American would put up with such a thing.
|
|
140
|
0073FC58
|
0073FC83
|
I told you so! Now let's get some grub, I'm starving.
|
|
141
|
0073FC59
|
0073FC95
|
Proof! I need physical proof!
|
|
142
|
0073FC5A
|
0073FC86
|
Hey, you don't want to take this seriously? Then beat it!
|
|
143
|
0073FC5C
|
0073FC98
|
What!? Prove it to me!
|
|
144
|
0073FC5E
|
0073FC89
|
|
|
145
|
0073FC60
|
0073FC9C
|
And this moron thinks it does!
|
|
146
|
0073FC61
|
0073FC8D
|
You might be a bigger smart aleck than my friend here, pal. Now where do you really land on this?
|
|
147
|
0073FC62
|
0073FC88
|
Allegedly.
|
|
148
|
0073FC63
|
0073FC9B
|
That's right. This moron doesn't think it exists.
|
|
149
|
0073FC65
|
0073FC8C
|
|
|
150
|
0073FC67
|
0073FC9E
|
Oh, very funny chucklehead. So which one is it, then?
|
|
151
|
0073FC69
|
0073FC8F
|
Money! A denomi- a deno- er, it's prewar money!
|
|
152
|
0073FC6B
|
0073FCA0
|
Ahaha! That's what you get for pulling a stranger into this.
|
|
153
|
Good on you, stranger. Didn't even have to hear about a two-dollar bill to know it makes no damn sense.
|
|
154
|
0073FC6C
|
0073FC91
|
You get to be on the right side of history, how's that work for ya?
|
|
155
|
0073FC6E
|
0073FCA4
|
Hey! You don't even know what I'm talking about!
|
|
156
|
0073FC70
|
0073FC94
|
So how're you gonna prove it? Gonna pull one out of thin air?
|
|
157
|
0073FC71
|
0073FC84
|
It's true!
|
|

If you say so. But if things start going south, bail and find another way in. Fighting is a last resort.
|
|
160
|
0073FC76
|
0073FC99
|
If they're guarding a building off their usual turf, it has to be something important. But how do we get in?
|
|
161
|
0073FC77
|
0073FC8A
|
Abbie... Poor girl. I hope for her sake whatever hunch you have pays off.
|
|
162
|
You should check down this alley. We've seen Family members hanging around a building down there.
|
|
163
|
I don't want a fight, so we've never pressed them on why. Could be what you're looking for.
|
|
164
|
0073FC78
|
0073FC9D
|
Stay? I couldn't do that... Right? My family needs me in Appalachia. Abbie needs me.
|
|
165
|
0073FC7A
|
0073FC8E
|
You're right. Abbie needs our help.
|
|
166
|
0073FC7C
|
0073FC9F
|
Right, we need to search for that warehouse. Abbie's life depends on it.
|
|
167
|
0073FC7E
|
0073FC85
|
R-Really? Are you sure? Abbie needs you...
|
|
168
|
0073FC7F
|
0073FC9A
|
Like I said, to help Abbie we need you. Plus I can't just leave my old comrades to die.
|
|
169
|
0073FC80
|
0073FC97
|
If you insist, I won't turn you down. But I hope you aren't doing this out of some misguided sense of guilt.
|
|
170
|
0073FC82
|
0073FC8B
|
Listen, I'd wager I've known Vin a fair bit longer than you.
|
|
171
|
His family may have some skeletons in their closet, but compared to the rest of Atlantic City, Vin has the conscience of a newborn babe.
|
|
172
|
007442FD
|
00744303
|
*sigh* Maybe I did. But it's too late to go back now, right?
|
|
173
|
007442FE
|
00744304
|
I... *sigh* I know. That's what I tell myself every day.
|
|
174
|
007442FF
|
00744301
|
I... Look, that was a private conversation, but you're doing us a huge favor here, so I guess I'll spill my guts to you, too.
|
|
175
|
Yes, I had second thoughts about leaving Atlantic City. I loved my job with the Munis.
|
|
176
|
Wading into this scummy pond water, taking the torch to endless nests of Overgrown, it was the furthest thing from my past -- and current -- life.
|
|
177
|
It had meaning. I wasn't slinging cocktails for killers, or working all night just to keep my mom's insane project in business.
|
|
178
|
I really felt like I was living, you know? Not shutting my eyes to the world outside, wishing it would all just go away.
|
|
179
|
So you can imagine I have a few regrets.
|
|
180
|
00744300
|
00744302
|
So you don't like compliments. Check.
|
|
181
|
0074498D
|
007449A8
|
There has to be something... Hey, what about these?
|
|
182
|
0074498E
|
007449A7
|
This is the building the terminal referenced. No obvious way in...
|
|
183
|
0074498F
|
007449A1
|
You're going to have to try. If you mess up, I'll be here to remind you.
|
|
184
|
It shouldn't be too dangerous... I don't think.
|
|
185
|
00744990
|
0074499F
|
That's right. Let's have at it.
|
|
186
|
00744991
|
007449A3
|
Wait, you don't think...? It's not like that.
|
|
187
|
Is it?
|
|
188
|
00744992
|
0074499C
|
I know you will. I'm sorry to make you choose again, but I really do feel it would be right for you to return.
|
|
189
|
Think it through. I'll be here for you either way.
|
|
190
|
Good luck, Vin.
|
|
191
|
00744993
|
007449A4
|
I knew this was coming... but I'm still not sure what to say. In my heart I'm a Muni, but I left for a reason.
|
|
192
|
My family needs me, desperately. If I'm not there for them, they'll probably devolve into raiders or ghouls or worse. And I'm only half joking.
|
|
193
|
I need to think about it. I will take it seriously, I promise.
|
|
194
|
00744994
|
007449A5
|
It's a good plan, Vin, but this is the end of the line for me.
|
|
195
|
If a municipal officer got caught assaulting a gangster hideout, it could jeopardize the peace we have in Atlantic City.
|
|
196
|
Before I go, though, I want to make you an offer. I want you to come back to us when this is all through.
|
|
197
|
Curing Abbie takes precedence, I would never say otherwise, but it's clear you miss the job.
|
|
198
|
We'll take you back, I'll pull whatever strings are necessary.
|
|
199
|
What do you think?
|
|
200
|
00744995
|
007449A0
|
It does sound a bit ridiculous, but I've seen it happen before. If it does work, it would also catch any guards by surprise.
|
|
201
|
00744996
|
0074499D
|
That's... a risk. But if we control the pressure correctly, we should be alright.
|
|
202
|
You'll just have to trust me on execution.
|
|
203
|
00744997
|
007449A6
|
Really? I thought it was kind of brilliant, myself.
|
|
204
|
00744998
|
007449A2
|
Have a little faith, will you? I know it sounds... 'creative,' but it will work!
|
|
205
|
00744999
|
0074499E
|
Yes! We're so close, I just know this will pay off.
|
|
206
|
00745244
|
007452A5
|
Go talk to my father. I'll take care of Abbie.
|
|
207
|
007452A6
|
See what you can get out of my father.
|
|
208
|
007452A8
|
Good luck!
|
|
209
|
007452A9
|
You've got this! Right?
|
|
210
|
007452AA
|
The valve order is three, two, four, one. Got it?
|
|
211
|
007452AB
|
Who is this?
|
|
212
|
007452AC
|
Thanks for your help. Let's keep going.
|
|
213
|
007452AE
|
Let's see what you can do.
|
|
214
|
007452AF
|
Just be careful. We don't need a fight on our hands.
|
|
215
|
007452B0
|
Let's see what Vin found.
|
|
216
|
007452B1
|
I hope you two find what you're looking for.
|
|
217
|
007452B3
|
Thank you! You saved my life.
|
|
218
|
007452B4
|
Thanks! I thought I was dead meat.
|
|
219
|
007452B5
|
My bad day got a whole lot better. Thank you.
|
|
220
|
007452B6
|
You're a hero!
|
|
221
|
007452B7
|
I could've taken 'em... if I'd had more ammo.
|
|
222
|
00750B78
|
Scram, we're in the middle of somethin' here.
|
|
223
|
00750B79
|
Was I talkin' to you? Didn't think so.
|
|
224
|
00750B7A
|
Private matter, step aside.
|
|
225
|
00750B7B
|
Don't touch the hair!
|
|
226
|
00750B7D
|
I'm feeling a bit better now, thank you...
|
|
227
|
00750B7E
|
Still a little woozy...
|
|
228
|
00750B7F
|
Devil's Blood is a real trip, isn't it?
|
|
229
|
00750B80
|
I may need to close my eyes for a bit...
|
|
230
|
00750B82
|
Abbie? Where did that girl scamper off to?
|
|
231
|
00750B83
|
Did you hear that noise?
|
|
232
|
00750B84
|
Who are you again?
|
|
233
|
00750B85
|
Keep it down, will ya?
|
|
234
|
00750B87
|
Oh my darling girl... I just can't bear to watch!
|
|
235
|
00750B88
|
Vin will think of something. He's so good at that.
|
|
236
|
00750B89
|
I just want to dance this all away! But that wouldn't be appropriate.
|
|
237
|
00750B8B
|
So we're good, yeah?
|
|
238
|
00750B8C
|
Hope you, uh, find what you're looking for.
|
|
239
|
00755FE2
|
W-Who are you?
|
|
240
|
00758123
|
Let's meet in Atlantic City and go from there.
|
|
241
|
00758124
|
Let's see what Sloane has to say.
|
|
242
|
00758125
|
You wanna talk, then talk to this guy.
|
|
243
|
0075BFB5
|
Let's get in there!
|
"There" = chem lab
|
244
|
0075BFB6
|
Let's see what we can find inside.
|
|
245
|
0075BFB7
|
Thanks for helping my people. I owe you one.
|
|
246
|
0075BFB8
|
Find anything?
|
|
247
|
00745246
|
00745285
|
It's my life we're talking about here! I don't want to take a decision like this lightly.
|
|
248
|
I didn't before, and I won't now. It's just not who I am.
|
|
249
|
00745248
|
0074529A
|
"Crap?" Is that how you see my life decisions?
|
|
250
|
I thought I could trust you to be a confidant, after all we've been through, but clearly I was mistaken.
|
|
251
|
Fine, I won't saddle you with any more of my baggage. Let's just go, and pray that we find what we're looking for.
|
|
252
|
00745249
|
00745289
|
What would you do in my position?
|
|
253
|
0074524B
|
0074529E
|
That's a very... blunt assessment, but I appreciate your honesty.
|
|
254
|
Maybe I need to give my own happiness priority.
|
|
255
|
0074524D
|
0074528C
|
I guess our being here now is evidence enough of that, isn't it?
|
|
256
|
They really do rely on me. Should I leave them in the lurch to pursue my own happiness?
|
|
257
|
0074524F
|
007452A2
|
*sigh* Yeah... Yeah, you're right. This is something I need to work out for myself.
|
|
258
|
Thanks for humoring me for a bit. It helps me sort through my feelings. I appreciate it.
|
|
259
|
00745250
|
0074528F
|
You've given me some food for thought. Thank you. I'll sort out my own feelings later.
|
|
260
|
00745251
|
007452B8
|
Now, it looks like there's another floor to this place. Let's get up there and take a look.
|
|
261
|
00745252
|
00745291
|
Well who do we have here?
|
|
262
|
00745254
|
00745280
|
Me? I'm Gene. I cook Blood for the Family. Not my first choice, but it has its perks.
|
|
263
|
Wait, why am I answering your questions? Who are you, what are you doing here?
|
|
264
|
00745256
|
00745295
|
Hey, I ain't paid for my loyalty, we all know that much. Or at least I thought we did.
|
|
265
|
00745259
|
00745298
|
A cure for Devil's Blood addiction?
|
|
266
|
T-That info is what we call 'classified.' You'll have to make me an offer better than the kneecaps I'll lose for telling you.
|
|
267
|
0074525B
|
00745287
|
Yes, well, yes. But it is much better than the cinder block shoes they offered to give me as a competing 'chemist.'
|
|
268
|
And I get all the Blood I want in exchange. Which is a lot.
|
|
269
|
0074525D
|
0074529D
|
Oh, well, uh, look away. Just don't hurt me!
|
|
270
|
0074525F
|
0074528B
|
I dunno, I've had some pretty bad nightmares. Chems will do that to you.
|
|
271
|
00745260
|
007452A1
|
What does this accomplish, exactly?
|
|
272
|
00745262
|
00745293
|
Whoa, whoa, whoa, okay... Point taken, point taken!
|
|
273
|
00745264
|
00745282
|
I... remember that feeling, yeah. Ugh, appeal to my soft side, why don'tcha?
|
|
274
|
00745266
|
00745297
|
That's real sad, but you know whose life is also on the line? Mine!
|
|
275
|
00745268
|
00745286
|
Caps? What am I gonna do with caps? I'm locked in a chem lab all day.
|
|
276
|
0074526A
|
0074529B
|
Then I guess we're done here?
|
|
277
|
0074526B
|
0074528A
|
Oh no, no, no. We're not leaving until we get that info.
|
|
278
|
0074526C
|
0074529F
|
Then make me an offer I can't refuse!
|
|
279
|
0074526E
|
0074528D
|
I... Ugh, you're right, you're right... It's just...
|
|
280
|
00745273
|
007452B9
|
Then prove it.
|
|
281
|
They've kept you here in servitude, you don't owe them anything. Show us who you really are, and help save my sister's life.
|
|
282
|
00745274
|
00745292
|
Look, I would if I could, okay? But I can't cook an antidote for Devil's Blood. Not with what I've got here.
|
|
283
|
I only use synthetic materials. Hate to talk down my own product, but it's almost like knock-off stuff.
|
|
284
|
Wasn't always that way. In the good ol' days -- before I was caged up like a lab rat -- we used a purer, organic compound. But times change.
|
|
285
|
00745275
|
00745281
|
But if you had that organic compound, you could create an antidote? Can't we get it for you?
|
|
286
|
00745276
|
00745296
|
Well, maybe if you could get it, but good luck with that. Even I don't know where it comes from.
|
|
287
|
Only the original creator does, and he's long gone. Concerta Lombardi drove him into exile when she took power. Might have even whacked him by now.
|
|
288
|
So unless you happen to know where Tony Russo is hiding out, you aren't getting your cure. Sorry, pal.
|
|
289
|
00745278
|
00745284
|
|
|
290
|
0074527A
|
00745299
|
|
|
291
|
0074527D
|
007452A0
|
Uh, no, she's talking about...
|
|
292
|
0074527E
|
0074529C
|
My father?
|
|
293
|
Damn it, Pop. I knew you had something to do with this. Just not what...
|
|
294
|
0074527F
|
0074528E
|
Wait, Tony is your dad? The mafia boss, Antonio Russo?
|
|
295
|
Oh my god, you're Vinny!? I really am losing my kneecaps.
|
|
296
|
0074F52C
|
0074F532
|
Whoa, whoa, whoa! No can do, friend. This warehouse is off limits. Family only, capiche?
|
|
297
|
Now, we gotta settle this argument before we take our lunch break, so why don't you forget all about that and pick a side?
|
|
298
|
0074F52D
|
0074F539
|
Damn, I messed up...
|
|
299
|
0074F53A
|
No... This ain't right...
|
|
300
|
0074F52E
|
0074F53C
|
Hey, that smarts!
|
|
301
|
0074F53D
|
Is that supposed to hurt?
|
|
302
|
0074F53E
|
Agh! You little...
|
|
303
|
0074F53F
|
Gah!
|
|
304
|
0074F52F
|
0074F541
|
Not so smart now, are ya?
|
|
305
|
0074F542
|
I'll have you sleepin' with the fishes!
|
|
306
|
0074F543
|
Hey, you wanted a fight!
|
|
307
|
0074F530
|
0074F534
|
Why I oughta!
|
|
308
|
0074F535
|
Oh, startin' somethin', are ya?
|
|
309
|
0074F536
|
You wanna mess with the Family!?
|
|
310
|
0074F531
|
0074F537
|
Vin? Getting into trouble again, I see!
|
|
311
|
00750B75
|
00750B8E
|
I wonder what Pop knows...
|
|
312
|
00750B8F
|
There has to be some way to help Abbie...
|
|
313
|
00750B92
|
How to go about this...?
|
|
314
|
00750B93
|
That was a rush.
|
Just completed first combat in a while for him
|
315
|
00750B94
|
There has to be some way to sneak inside...
|
|
316
|
00750B95
|
Is that--? No, just another Overgrown.
|
On the lookout for approaching mobsters
|
317
|
00750B96
|
Three, two, four, one. Don't forget.
|
Referring to the order the player must turn valves to solve a puzzle
|
318
|
00750B97
|
Who the hell are you?
|
Referring to Gene the chem cook
|
319
|
00750B98
|
Hang in there, Abbs.
|
Abbs = Abbie, his sister
|
320
|
00750B9A
|
Glad I came by when I did.
|
|
321
|
00750B9B
|
It'll be okay, Vin.
|
|
322
|
00750B9C
|
How do we get inside...?
|
|
323
|
00750B9D
|
Poor Abbie...
|
Abbie Russo, Vin's sister, who is in trouble
|
324
|
00750B9F
|
You really gonna keep goin' on about this?

I ain't budgin'.

Referring to his stake in the ongoing argument
|
326
|
00750BA1
|
C'mon, let's wrap this up. I'm hungry!
|
Let's wrap up the argument
|
327
|
00750BA3
|
Let's just all be friends, alright?
|
|
328
|
00750BA4
|
You just go on your way and leave me to my horrible, horrible fate.
|
|
329

Yeah, that's... a lot to take in, isn't it?
|
|
330
|
The man created the poison that's killing his daughter.
|
|
331
|
As for the how or the why, only he knows. Though profit and power must play into it.
|
|
332
|

|
A defense mechanism, I suppose. Maybe he thought if he acted harmless then the Family would have no reason to pursue him to Appalachia.
|
|
333
|
Those hitmen from the Rose Room proves that wrong.
|
|
334
|
00753BAE
|
00753BB8
|
I'm not the only one who was fooled! It's not like you made any more progress than I did.
|
|
335
|
But... That's not an excuse. I should have seen through it.
|
|
336
|
With everything else going on, maybe I was just relieved I didn't have to deal with him anymore. I never was his favorite.
|
|
337
|
00753BB0
|
00753BB6
|
You're right. We need to head home and confront my father.
|
|
338
|
Do whatever it takes to make him admit he's been playing us, or dig up something that could lead to a cure.
|
|
339
|
I know this was a lot to go through, but thank you again for doing this.
|
|
340
|
I'll meet you at home when you're ready.
|
|
341
|
00753BB1
|
00753BB7
|
He... What? There's no way...
|
|
342
|
Unless... I was pretty busy... And I'd been away from home, working for the Munis for a while...
|
|
343
|
Did I just take it for granted?
|
|
344
|
00753BB2
|
00753BB3
|
Senile? Oh kid, did you really fall for that act? The man's sharp as a carving knife.
|
|
345
|
He was barkin' orders right up until he fled. Never a hint of forgetfulness -- not one!
|
|
346
|
He's been pullin' the wool over your eyes, Vin. I'm just sad to see you fell for it.
|
|
347
|

|
I've come to ask you a favor. Remember those reports we used to get about the Family snooping around our turf? We're here to find them.
|
|
348
|
00754151
|
00754153
|
I can't say for sure, but Pop... Well, he was in the Family. You know, the mob. The same mob that sells Devil's Blood.
|
|
349
|
Maybe he was just collecting vigorish, but -- and I really hate saying this -- I hope it was Blood related, because it could be our only lead.
|
|
350
|
00754152
|
00754155
|
What...? Oh, right. You mean caps.
|
|
351
|
Was hoping you'd have more of a heart, but fine. I'll buy whatever help I can get if it means saving Abbie.
|
|
352
|
00754E3A
|
00754E3B
|
Uh, that wasn't what I expected.
|
|
353
|
007551E0
|
007551E3
|
Hey, you didn't forget to bring the spare key with you, right?
|
|
354
|
007551E1
|
007551E2
|
Of course not. What do I look like, a moron?
|
|
355
|
0075811A
|
00758122
|
You know I never wanted to be rid of you in the first place, but... yeah, I really did.
|
|
356
|
0075811B
|
00758120
|
Phew. Didn't think I'd ever hear that whistle again, Vin, but it sounds as good as ever.
|
|
357
|
0075811C
|
00758126
|
Thanks, Sloane. I bet you thought you were rid of my poor aim when I left the Munis.
|
|
358
|
0075811D
|
00758121
|
What brings you back to AC, Vin? You bringing me a new recruit?
|
|
359
|
0075811E
|
0075811F
|
Ugh, enough about me. What did you find in the warehouse back there?
