Master?
NULL
It's about Naomi. Turn your monitor off...
NULL
What about Naomi?
NULL
Damn!
NULL
Colonel, is Naomi there?
NULL
No, she's away. She's taking a short nap. So what is this about Naomi?
NULL
Okay. Maybe we'd better let the Colonel hear this too.
NULL
Yeah. Go on, Master...
NULL
Well basically, Dr. Naomi Hunter is not Dr. Naomi Hunter at all.
NULL
What!?
NULL
I thought her story about her background sounded a little fishy, so I checked it out.
NULL
And...?
NULL
There is an actual Dr. Naomi Hunter, or I should say there was one... But she's not the woman we know. The real Noami Hunter disappeared somewhere in the Middle East. Our Naomi must have somehow gotten her identification papers.
NULL
Then who is she really?
NULL
She must be some kind of... spy.
NULL
A spy!?
NULL
Yes... maybe she's been sent to sabotage this operation.
NULL
Are you saying she's with the terrorists?
NULL
...I don't want to believe it either. But she is working for FOX-HOUND.
NULL
So you think she had a part in the uprising?
NULL
Or she could be working with some different group all together.
NULL
Different group...? It couldn't be...
NULL
Place her under arrest.
NULL
What!
NULL
She's betrayed us. She needs to be arrested and interrogated to find out who she's with.
NULL
If she's one of their spies, then we're really in big trouble...
NULL
What do you mean!?
NULL
Oh nothing....
NULL
Have you let her in on some sort of vital secret or something?
NULL
.........
NULL
Does this have anything to do with the mysterious deaths of the DARPA Chief or the ArmsTech president?
NULL
I... I have no idea.
NULL
Anyway, we cannot allow her to participate any further in this mission.
NULL
Wait, wait a minute. Without her, we can't complete this mission.
NULL
I knew it. You're hiding something.
NULL
Give me some time. I'll try to get it out of her...
NULL
Hurry then. We've got to find out who she is and what she's doing here.
NULL
I understand. Snake, give me some time.
NULL
I don't have any time left for you. (Snake signs off and heads into the room where Metal Gear REX is stored. Otacon calls on the Codec.)
NULL
Snake... it's me.
NULL
What's wrong? Did you find a good place to hide?
NULL
Yeah, thanks to the stealth gear. It looks like they've finished getting Metal Gear ready.
NULL
How do you know that?
NULL
I overheard them talking. Where are you now?
NULL
Right in front of Metal Gear... but it's strange.
NULL
What is?
NULL
There's nobody here... no guards, nobody patrolling... it's too quiet.
NULL
Maybe because they're all ready. They said they even input the PAL codes.
NULL
What should I do?
NULL
All we can do is use the override system that President Baker told you about.
NULL
But I've only got one of the three keys. And besides that, like Ocelot said, there's some trick to using the keys...
NULL
Leave it to me...
NULL
You got some kind of plan?
NULL
Well, I'm in the computer roo right now. I'm trying to access Baker's private files.
NULL
Baker's files? Don't you need a password?
NULL
Of course. But there are ways...
NULL
Are you a hacker?
NULL
Yup. That describes me pretty well.
NULL
Does it look like you can get in?
NULL
I don't know yet. I'll give it a try.
NULL
I'm counting on you... (Snake signs off. Otacon calls later with an update.)
NULL
It's me again.
NULL
How's it going?
NULL
Hmmm... not bad. I just got past his third security level. He was a pretty careful guy.
NULL
Do you think you'll break in soon?
NULL
I've never met a system I couldn't bust into.
NULL
Okay, keep trying. (Snake signs off again and later Otacon calls again.)
NULL
Snake, I did it!
NULL
You got past security?
NULL
Bingo!!!
NULL
Great. So whaddya got?
NULL
I accessed the confidential Metal Gear file.
NULL
So what about the PAL override system that Baker talked about?
NULL
I haven't found it yet.
NULL
That's what I need to know!
NULL
But Snake, I found something else!
NULL
What?
NULL
The secret behind the new nuclear weapon! Just as I thought, the nuclear warhead is designed to be fired from the rail gun, like a projectile... It doesn't use fuel so it isn't considered a missile. That way it can get around all sorts of international treaties.
NULL
Pretty sneaky.
NULL
Yes, but effective. And that's not even the scariest thing about this weapon.
NULL
I can't wait to hear this.
NULL
It's a stealth weapon!
NULL
You mean it won't show up on radar?
NULL
Yeah. The truth is... they've been working on a stealth missile since the late 70's.
NULL
Why weren't they able to develope one until now?
NULL
Because of the missile's rocket propulsion system... it will be picked up by enemy satellites.
NULL
Oh yeah, that makes sense.
NULL
But unlike a missile, the rail gun doesn't burn any propellant. So it can't be detected by any current ballistic missile detection systems.
NULL
An invisible nuclear warhead...
NULL
Totally impossible to intercept. And on top of that, it's got a surface piercing warhead designed to penetrate hardened underground bases.
NULL
We learned that lesson in the Gulf War.
NULL
This thing could mean the end of the world!
NULL
It's the ultimate weapon. And from a political point of view, it avoids the problem of nuclear reduction and nuclear inspections. Colonel, is this true? Are you listening?
NULL
I'm listening...
NULL
If word of this got out, it could delay the signing of the Start 3 Treaty and cause a huge international incident.
NULL
Yeah, it would be nasty. The United States would be denounced by the UN... it could even bring the President down...
NULL
Did you know this, Colonel?
NULL
I'm sorry...
NULL
You've changed, Colonel.
NULL
I won't make any excuses...
NULL
Snake, listen to me. This new nuclear weapon... it's never actually been tested, only simulated.
NULL
You mean they ran a computer model?
NULL
Yeah, that's why they were conducting this excercise. They needed to get actual data to back up the simulation.
NULL
What were the results of the excercise?
NULL
It looks like it went better than they hoped for. But...I can't find the data anywhere on this network. You'd think that data as important as that would be carefully recorded...
NULL
It was. President Baker gave me an optical disc with all of the test data.
NULL
What!? Do you still have it?
NULL
No, Ocelot took it from me.
NULL
Damn...
NULL
The terrorists have replaced the dummy warhead with a real warhead. Once they input the detonation codes, they should be ready to launch.
NULL
So you think they can do it?
NULL
Well the dummy warhead was designed to be identical to the real thing, so I think so.
NULL
Did you find out how to override it yet?
NULL
Not yet. It must be in a separate file. Right now, I'm looking through all of Baker's personal files.
NULL
We're counting on you... (Snake enters the control center of the Rex hangar. He sees Liquid and Ocelot talking.)
NULL
Okay. I've entered the PAL codes and disengaged the safety device. We can launch anytime.
NULL
There's still no response from Washington. It looks like we'll have to show them that we mean business.
NULL
Should I set it for Chernoton, Russia?
NULL
No, there's been a change. The new target is...Lopnor, China.
NULL
Why Boss?
NULL
I'm sure neither you nor Mr. Gurlukovich would really like to see a nuclear bomb dropped on your Motherland, right?
NULL
Liquid!
NULL
But why? There's nothing there.
NULL
Wrong. It's a nuclear test site.
NULL
A nuclear test site?
NULL
If we nuke a major population center, the game's over... But a nuclear explosion at a test site can still be concealed from the public. Meanwhile Washington will be worried about the retaliatory strike from China.
NULL
That'll probably mean top secret talks between both countries'leaders...
NULL
Of course. And in the process, the President will be forced to divulge the existence of a new and highly destabilizing nuclear weapon to the Chinese. What do you think that will do to the U.S.'s reputation? Or the President's?
NULL
And with the CTBT, that means that China and India... I see...
NULL
Yes. When the other countries hear about this new weapon, they'll all want to contact us. Washington won't be very happy when we start selling their own system to the highest bidders. Yes. The President will break. He will give in to our demands.
NULL
Big Boss's DNA and one billion dollars...
NULL
One billion dollars!
NULL
That money will be used to cure our genome soldiers as well. I'm also including the FoxDie vaccine in our demands.
NULL
FoxDie... It killed Octopus and the ArmsTech president... So it's true that it affects older people first. Mantis might not have been affected because he wore a mask.
NULL
Wolf wasn't infected either. Perhaps due to those tranquilizers she always took.
NULL
Something to do with the adrenaline level in the blood? Or maybe it's just because this FoxDie was still experimental and they haven't worked out all the bugs yet...
NULL
In any case, have you heard from your friend, Colonel Sergei Gurlukovich at the Spetznaz?
NULL
He still has doubts about the ability of Metal Gear. He said we can talk after Metal Gear's test launch is successful.
NULL
He is a very prudent man.
NULL
There's nothing to worry about. The Colonel wants Metal Gear and the new nuclear weapon so bad he can taste it. If Russia wants to regain its position as a military superpower, they need to reinforce their nuclear arsenal. They need a nuclear weapon that can't be intercepted. Metal Gear will allow them to gain first strike capability over the rest of the world.
NULL
Their regular army is in shambles and they think they can restore their country's military power with nuclear weapons? Gurlukovich... he's no warrior... he is a politician.
NULL
But he's the one who gave us the Hind and most of our other heavy firepower.
NULL
He's got over a thousand soldiers under his command. If we joined forces we could put up quite a resistance here. Since Mantis died, the genome soldiers' brainwashing has started to wear off. I'm worried about the men's morale. An alliance with the Russians would boost that as well...
NULL
What are you saying?
NULL
We're not going anywhere. We're going to dig in here.
NULL
We could still escape...
NULL
We've got the most powerful weapon ever made and we're about to ally with Gurlukovich's forces.
NULL
Are you going to fight the whole world?
NULL
And what's wrong with that? We can launch a nuclear warhead at any target on this planet... A nuclear warhead invisible to radar. And on top of that, this base is full of spare nuclear warheads. Once we get the DNA and the money, the world will be ours!
NULL
What about your promise to Colonel Gurlukovich?
NULL
I have no interest in the revival of Mother Russia.
NULL
...You're not thinking of reviving Big Boss's dream?
NULL
From today, ...call this place "Outer Heaven".
NULL
Big Boss's dream...
NULL
But Boss,... you're not worried about the PAL being overridden? If the code is entered again, it'll be deactivated.
NULL
No need to worry. The DARPA Chief and the ArmsTech president are both dead.
NULL
Does Snake know how the override system works?
NULL
You interrogated him. Don't you know?
NULL
He didn't have any keys on him.
NULL
Good. Then no one can stop Metal Gear now.
NULL
By the way, what should we do with that woman? Want me to kill her?
NULL
Let her live. She's Campbell's niece and Snake cares for her... We'll keep her as our ace in-the-hole.
NULL
Meryl... she's alive.
NULL
Snake, I found Baker's top-secret files!
NULL
Great job.
NULL
How's it going there?
NULL
They've finished inputting the PAL codes. So how do we deactivate them?
NULL
Okay...y'see the override system that the president was talking about... It can also be used to input the detonation codes. Y'see if you insert the keys when the warhead is active, you deactivate it. And if you insert them when it's inactive, it becomes activated. And you can only use the keys once.
NULL
Only once, huh.
NULL
Yeah...you'd better get started. We don't have much time.
NULL
But it takes three keys, right!? I've only got one of them!
NULL
Hold on a minute. Y'see that's the trick. You already have all three keys!
NULL
What are you talking about!?
NULL
The card key is made of a shape memory alloy.
NULL
Shape memory alloy?
NULL
Yes. It's a material that changes shape at different temperatures. The key is made out of it!
NULL
This card key?
NULL
Yeah. The card key changes shape at different temperatures.
NULL
So this key is actually three keys in one...clever.
NULL
Can you see the input terminals in the center of the Control Room...
NULL
I see them.
NULL
Those three laptop terminals are for the emergency input. There should be a symbol on each screen... Each symbol corresponds to a different key. Input the keys in order from left to right. The left one's for the room temperature key. See the symbol? Next to that goes the low temperature key. The one on the right is the high temperature key.
NULL
Okay, I got it. First I change the shape of the card and then I input them in order, right?
NULL
That's right. All you do is insert the card keys. After you insert the key into the module, a hard disk reads the information contained on it. Once you've finished with all three terminals, the code input process is complete. But here's the thing. You can only use the key three times. It's an emergency system and it's only meant to be used once.
NULL
The world is riding on that key, Snake.
NULL
Who's that!! (Ocelot fires a bullet at Snake. Snake is startled and loses his grip on the key. It tumbles over the railing and falls into the drainage ditch.)
NULL
Damn!! The key fell in the drainage ditch!
NULL
Snake!! This is bullet-proof glass! There's no way in! I'll enjoy watching you die!
NULL
Snake, you've got to get that key! (Snake finds the key and heads back up to the control room to input the code.)
NULL
PAL code number one confirmed. Awaiting PAL code number two...
NULL
Okay, that takes care of PAL code number one... Now PAL number two... freeze the key.
NULL
PAL code number two confirmed. Awaiting PAL code number three...
NULL
Snake. It's about Naomi Hunter...
NULL
Then you should talk to the Colonel. He's looking into it.
NULL
Turn your monitor off.
NULL
Okay it's off. No one else can hear us. Go ahead.
NULL
Sorry, but I didn't want the Colonel to hear.
NULL
Okay, so what's up?
NULL
I've got a good friend in the Pentagon...
NULL
Yeah...
NULL
He's the one who told me about it... It looks like the DIA recently developed a new type of assassination weapon.
NULL
An assassination weapon?
NULL
Snake, have you ever heard of something called "Fox Die"?
NULL
No...
NULL
Fox Die?
NULL
...Liquid and others were talking about it...
NULL
Yeah. It's some kind of virus that targets specific people. I don't know all the details, but...
NULL
What are you trying to say?
NULL
It's too similar.
NULL
What is!?
NULL
The cause of death. Didn't the ArmsTech president and the DARPA Chief, I mean Decoy Octopus,... die of something that looked like a heart attack?
NULL
Yeah...?
NULL
Well, apparently Fox Die kills its victims by simulating a heart attack.
NULL
No... You're telling me that Naomi was behind it?
NULL
Snake, try to remember. Did Naomi give you some kind of injection?
NULL
...The nanomachines.
NULL
She was in the best position to have done it, but I don't know what her motive was.
NULL
...Does the Colonel know?
NULL
I'm not sure. But he still hasn't questioned her.
NULL
Okay. I'll ask him myself. Colonel, what's new with the Naomi situation?
NULL
I just placed Naomi under arrest.
NULL
Arrest?
NULL
She was sending coded messages towards the Alaskan base. I didn't want to believe it, but she must be working with the terrorists.
NULL
Are you sure?
NULL
I'm afraid so. She's being interrogated now.
NULL
What kind of interrogation?
NULL
Well...I'd like to avoid the rough stuff, but we don't even have any sodium pentathol here.
NULL
Call me if you find out anything.
NULL
So it's true, isn't it?
NULL
Naomi...I can't believe it.
NULL
That means the Fox Die vaccine must be around somewhere.
NULL
Listen. I've got bigger things to worry about.
NULL
But Snake...you might be infected too, you know.
NULL
All I can do is leave it up to the Colonel. (Snake goes to input the rest of the PAL Codes and during the process he gets a Codec call.)
NULL
Snake, can you hear me? It's Naomi...
NULL
Naomi!? ...what the hell!?
NULL
Campbell and the others are busy right now...I'm on a different Codec.
NULL
Naomi, is what the Colonel says true?
NULL
...Yes. But not everything I said was a lie. I don't know myself. I don't know my real name or even what my parents looked like. I bought all my identification. But my reason for getting into genetics was true.
NULL
Cause you want to know yourself, right?
NULL
That's right. I want to know where I came from...m...my age, my race... anything.
NULL
Naomi...
NULL
I was found in Rhodesia sometime in the 80's... a dirty little orphan...
NULL
Rhodesia? What's now known as Zimbabwe?
NULL
Yes. Rhodesia was owned by England until 1965 and there were lots of Indian laborers around. That's probably where I got my skin color from, but I'm not even sure about that...
NULL
Naomi, you're too worried about the past. Isn't it enough to understand who you are now?
NULL
Understand who I am now!? Why should I? No one else tries to understand me. I was alone for so long... until I met my big brother and him.
NULL
Your big brother?
NULL
Yes.... Frank Jaeger.
NULL
What!?
NULL
He was a young soldier, when he picked me up near the Zambezi River. I was half-dead from starvation and he shared his rations with me.
NULL
Yes. Frank Jaeger, the man who you destroyed, was my brother and my only family.
NULL
Gray Fox?
NULL
We survived that hell together, Frank and I. He protected me. He's my one connection... the only connection that I have to my past.
NULL
And he brought you back to America?
NULL
No. I was in Mozambique when "he" came.
NULL
Who is "he" ? ...You mean Big Boss?
NULL
He brought us to this land of freedom , this America. But then he and my brother went back to Africa to continue the war. And that's when it happened... You killed my benefactor and sent my brother home a cripple. I vowed revenge and joined FOX-HOUND. I knew it was my best chance to meet you and I prayed for the day that I ould...
NULL
So were your prayers answered?
NULL
Yes. I waited two long years...
NULL
To kill me? Is that all you cared about?
NULL
Yes. That's right. Two years. You were all I thought about for two long years...like some kind of twisted obsession...
NULL
Do you still hate me?
NULL
...Not exactly. I was partly wrong about you...
NULL
What about Liquid and the others?
NULL
No. I'll have my revenge on them too.
NULL
Naomi...you didn't kill that doctor too, did you? The one that used Gray Fox for his genome experiments...
NULL
...No...that was my brother. Afterwards I covered it up and helped him hide out...
NULL
So that Ninja...I mean Gray Fox... he's come here to kill me?
NULL
...I don't think so. I think he just came here to fight you... I wasn't sure before, but now I think I understand. A final battle with you... that's all he lives for. I'm sure of it...
NULL
...Fox...no... Naomi, tell me something...
NULL
...about FoxDie? FoxDie is a type of retrovirus that targets and kills only specific people. First, it infects the macrophages in the victim's body. FoxDie contains smart enzymes, created through protein engineering. They're programmed to respond to specific genetic patterns in the cells.
NULL
Those enzymes recognize the target's DNA?
NULL
Right. They respond by becoming active, and using the macrophages, they begin creating TNF epsilon. It's a type of cytokine, a peptide which causes cells to die. The TNF epsilon is carried along the bloodstream to the heart, where they attach to the TNF receptors in the heart cells.
NULL
And then...they cause a heart attack?
NULL
The heart cells suffer a shock and undergo an extreme apoptosis. Then... the victim dies.
NULL
Apoptosis...you mean the heart cells commit suicide... Naomi...
NULL
...What?
NULL
...You must have programmed that thing to kill me too, right? Do I still have time? Naomi, I don't blame you for wanting me dead. But I can't go yet. I still have a job to do.
NULL
Listen, Snake. I'm not the one who made the decision to use FoxDie.
NULL
You weren't?
NULL
You were injected with FoxDie as a part of this operation. I just wanted to let you know that... No, that's not the whole truth... the real thing that I wanted to tell you was... Snake, I... I...
NULL
Hey! What are you doing!?
NULL
Eeeek!! Ooooh.... Snake.....
NULL
...Snake, I can't allow Naomi to make any more unauthorized transmissions. Naomi's been removed from this operation.
NULL
What happened to Naomi!? What did she mean when she said that FoxDie was a part of this operation!? Colonel, let me talk to her!
NULL
I won't. She's under arrest.
NULL
...you double crossed me!
NULL
Snake, there's no time for that!
NULL
Right now your job is to stop Metal Gear! ...Okay, Snake!? (Snake inputs the second PAL code.)
NULL
PAL code number two conirmed. Awaiting PAL code number three.
NULL
Okay, there goes PAL code number two. Next comes PAL number three... warm the key. (Snake Inputs the third PAL code.)
NULL
PAL code number three confirmed. PAL code entry complete... Detonation code activated.
NULL
No! Why!
NULL
Ready for launch... (Snake recieves a Codec call from Master Miller.)
NULL
Thank you Snake. Now the detonation code is completed. Nothing can stop Metal Gear now.
NULL
Master, what's going on?
NULL
You found the key and even activated the warhead for us too. I really must express my gratitude. Sorry to have involved you in that silly shape memory alloy business. We weren't able to learn the DARPA Chief's code. Even with Mantis' psychic powers, he couldn't read his mind. Then Ocelot accidentally killed him during the interrogation. In other words, we weren't able to launch the nuclear device and we were all getting a little worried. Without the threat of a nuclear strike, our demands would never be met.
NULL
What do you mean?
NULL
Without the detonation codes, we had to find some other way. That's when we decided...you might prove useful, Snake. First I thought we might get the information from you, Snake. So I had Decoy Octopus disguise himself as the DARPA Chief. Unfortunately Octopus didn't survive the encounter. ...thanks to FoxDie.
NULL
You mean you had this planned from the beginning? Just to get me to input the detonation code!?
NULL
Huh? You didn't think you made it this far by yourself, did you?
NULL
Who the hell are you!?
NULL
In any case, the launch preparations are complete. Once the world glimpses the power of this weapon, the White House will have no choice but to surrender the FoxDie vaccine to me. Their ace-in-the- hole is useless now...
NULL
Ace-in-the-hole?
NULL
The Pentagon's plan to use you was already successful... in the torture room.
NULL
Snake, you're the only one who doesn't know. Poor fool.
NULL
Who are you anyway!?
NULL
I'll tell you everything you want to know. If you come to where I am, that is.
NULL
Where are you?
NULL
Very close by.
NULL
Snake, that's not Master Miller!
NULL
Campbell, you're too late.
NULL
Master Miller's body was just discovered at his home. He's been dead for at least three days. I didn't know because my Codec link with Master was cut off. But Mei Ling said his transmission signal was coming from inside the base!
NULL
So who is it?
NULL
Snake, you've been talking to...
NULL
...Me... dear brother.
NULL
Liquid!? How the...!?
NULL
You've served your purpose. You may die now! (Snake dashes outside and sees Liquid about to clmib intot he cockpit of Rex. He levels his SOCOM at him.)
