PROLOGUE
Man on record: He found me. I don't have much time. Ethan trusted you... I... *scream*...
Rosa: I received the call 10:36 this morning.
Farrell: Any idea who this man is? Why he called you?
Rosa: No, sir.
Farrell: Where is former Agent Thomas?
Dorland: We're not sure. It's been 11 months since his suspension.
Rosa: He was cleared of those charges...
Dorland: Right. Nevertheless, he resigned from the agency shortly after and basically disappeared… probably passed out in some gutter.
Farrell: Unlikely. A man like that doesn't just lie down quietly.
Farrell: Okay, let's find Mr. Thomas and bring him in.
(The scene changes to a bar, and we see Ethan sitting at the counter, drinking alcohol with some drugs.)
*Alt-rock music playing in background*
Bartender: It’s for you. Says his name's Malcolm Vanhorn.
Ethan: *Exhales* Not now.
Bartender: Alright, but if he calls again, I'm hanging up.
Bartender: I’m not some fucking answering machine…
(Ethan begins hallucinate and the drink in his glass turns black, but he somehow gets into the senses. After that, he tries again to drink the poured, then he is pushed by a guy in a hood that seems to him a demon. Ethan screams at him, brutally beat a guy who turns out to be an ordinary person.)
*Alt-rock music playing in background*
*Primal Scream*
*Sounds of violence*
Bartender: Get out!
Bartender: Now!
*Music resumes*
(Ethan breaks the glass and leaves the bar.)
*Door Slams*
Ethan (voice): That's me, Ethan Thomas... Drunk, tired and pissed off. Why? Because this damn city is too fucking blind to see what's killing them...
Ethan (voice): but I can, I've seen the unspeakable, it's out there.
Ethan (voice): And l have a feeling we're about to get better acquainted.
CONDEMNED 2: BLOODSHOT (2008)
Bum: It’s too damn cold to be sitting in the mud.
Bum: Here, let me help you up.
Ethan (respond): Piss off!
Bum: Hey... Just offering, no need to bite my head off.
Bum: *whistle*
Bum: Hey buddy, I gotta tell ya...you smell worse than I do and I sleep in garbage.
Ethan (respond): Hey, screw you!
Bum: Whoa... We got ourselves a mean drunk, a real grade A asshole...
Bum: Look man, I don't need another enemy and you probably don't either...so let's say we start over.
Bum: I've got just the thing that will make us friends. Follow me.
(The game starts. Ethan follows the bum.)
Bum: I'm guessing not much's waiting for you at home, except drinking alone.
Bum: When you're ready for that drink, give me a hand getting this gate open.
Bum: Hey, step in there and open it up, will ya.
Ethan (respond): Get out of the way.
Bum: Jeez man, you broke the latch... Oh well, entrez vous, my new friend.
Bum: My secret stash is just over... Motherfucker!
Bum: Those were mine!
Bum: Wake up!
Demon: Stinking drunks… A couple of losers…
Ethan (respond): Come say that to my face!
Demon: We should kill you a long time ago.
Bum: Uh… maybe we should get out of here.
(The demon is kicking a lying bum.)
Demon: Get up all of you!
Bum 2: Ugh… Huh? Yeah man, I’ll mess him up for you.
(A fight with the bums begins. Our vagabond friend gives Ethan advises.)
FIST COMBAT: Use L1 and R1 to perform jab attacks.
HINT: Look for opportunities to strike without leaving yourself vulnerable to enemy counterattacks.
Bum: Block, man! You’re getting the shit kicked out of ya.
Bum: Hellz ya! That’s how you do it!
Bum: Ooh… ouch…
Bum: Goddamn, you’re a badass.
Bum: Come on buddy, you're going to get your ass handed to you.
Bum: Bam! Yeah. Wooooohoooo!
Bum (if Ethan is hit): Whoa! Shake it off… you'll recover.
Bum: Serves them right, I worked hard to acquire that stash…
BLOCK/PARRY: Press and hold L1, R1 to Block. Time your block to an enemy's attack to perform a parry. This will cause the enemy to stumble, giving you an opportunity to counterattack.
Bum: Bam! Yeah. Wooooohoooo!
ONE-TWO COMBO: Perform two alternating jabs and then attack when the screen displays the Combo Attack timer.
HINT: A combo will fail if damage is taken at any time during the sequence.
Bum: Get in there and mix it up. You know left, right.
Bum: Hellz ya! That’s how you do it!
PARRY COUNTER COMBO: parry an incoming attack and then do a quick jab, ending with a Combo Attack.
Bum: Get in there and mix it up. You know left, right.
Bum: Hellz ya! That’s how you do it!
MELEE COMBAT: Melee combat works exactly the same as fist combat. Arm yourself with a 2x4 from the garbage can and defeat the remaining enemies.
HINT: Melee weapons will break after extended use.
Bum: He's a piece of trash, now take him out!
Bum: Toss that dirtbag into the dumpster, like a garbage man!
Bum: Look out!
(After Ethan defeats all the homeless, a demon suddenly attacks from behind.)
Demon: Ready to have some fun?
(Demon hits Ethan with a brick, and he loses consciousness.)
(Ethan comes to himself in another place, takes his weapons and goes to explore the surroundings. He finds a TV.)
NEWS REPORTS: TV's and radios with antenna offer important information. To find reception grab the antenna and slowly adjust it using the Right Stick.
Man on TV: Ignoring that call from Vanhorn was foolish and you knew it. Forget the past, how he used you... How he destroyed your life. Find him. Like you, he knows about them and right now that’s all you’ve got.
(The TV goes blaсk after which someone suddenly turns Ethan.)
Ethan: Vanhorn? What are you... Ugh!
(Vanhorn is looked like a zombie. He throws up some black goo on Ethan and disappears. Ethan starts looking for him.)
Man on TV: You know better than most that there's scum in this city. Violent, hateful, fucking insane scum. There’s no talking, there’s no reasoning, just killing. Kill first or be a rotting corpse for the birds.
(Ethan continues to look for Vanhorn and finds some kind of strange device producing a nuisance noise.)
SONIC EMITTERS: These mysterious devices are scattered throughout the city. Their purpose is unknown, but they've been linked to the steady increase in criminal violence. Destroy them when found.
(Ethan founds another TV.)
Man on TV: The city is full of these sonic devices... they're fucking with people's brains and they don't even know it. Where they come from is something you need to learn, but in the mean time, do yourself, and this city a favor: destroy them.
CHAIN ATTACKS: Chain Attacks are extremely damaging attack sequences. To initiate, double tap the L1 or R1 when near an enemy and then respond to HUD prompts as they appear on the screen.
HINT: Before a Chain Attack can be initiated, the Chain Attack Meter must be full.
ENVIRONMENTAL KILL: When an enemy is in a defeated state (on his knees) approach and press L1 R1 to put him into a headlock. Walk him to the nearest kill opportunity (white skull icon.)
(Ethan climbs out the window and sees Vanhorn walking slowly down the street.)
Ethan (respond): Hey, wait!
(Ethan descends into the street and continues the pursuit. After a while he sees a helicopter and a policeman speaking into a megaphone.)
Policeman: Residents, find safety indoors immediately. Do not remain on the streets. I repeat, return to your homes and lock the doors.
(Ethan continues to search for Vanhorn and after a while again sees him in the distance behind the fence.)
Ethan (respond): Vanhorn, hold up! I want to talk to you.
(Ethan goes further, battling aggressive bums, dogs and creatures from black goo.)
THROWING WEAPONS: In some cases thrown weapons can interact with the environment. Throw a weapon at the ladder cover to open.
(Ethan finds another TV.)
Man on TV: Think about it, asshole! If something happens to him, if Malcolm Vanhorn dies, you're on your own and you'll be left to discover the answers the hard way. Find him before it's too late. Don’t let anger cost you your greatest ally.
HOOK ATTACK: A Hook Attack will push an enemy back, reducing his ability to quickly counter. To perform a hook attack, click L3 and then quickly press either L1 or R1.
(Ethan finds Malcolm Vanhorn locked inside some room with glass window. Vanhorn helplessly knock the window trying to escape. A black goo flows from his eyes and, it seems, he is blind.)
Ethan (respond): Malcolm, what’s happened to you?
(Suddenly, something grabs him and drags into the void.)
Ethan: Oh shit!
(Ethan climbs in the window and finds in the room a lot of black goo cocoons and Vanhorn attached to the wall by a black goo and unconscious. Ethan smashes several cocoons to free Vanhorn, but when he did it the demon attacks him and again beats his head with a brick. The screen is white and Ethan is in the same place he had his first fight. Was everything happening a reality or was it the consequences of a head injury?)
Ethan: What the?!
(Ethan comes to his senses. A demon with a brick in his hands is preparing to strike a new blow, but Rosa stops him, pointing a gun on him.)
Rosa: Drop it!
Demon: Hey... We're just having a little fun.
Rosa: Do it...now!
Rosa: Now step away. Keep your hands where we can see them.
(A demon is trying to escape.)
Rosa: Stop!
Dorland: Let ‘em go.
Dorland: This is Dorland. Subject secured. Affirmative.
Rosa: What was that about?
Ethan: ...Forget it.
Rosa: I need you to listen to this.
Man on record: He found me. I don't have much time. Ethan trusted you... I... *scream*…
Rosa: Do you recognize the voice?
Ethan: His name is Malcolm Vanhorn.
Dorland (over the phone): Sir, we have a positive ID.
Dorland (over the phone): Yes, Malcolm Vanhorn.
Farrell (over the phone): Vanhorn? Okay, get Thomas in here. We need to act on this right away.
Dorland (over the phone): Yes, sir.
Dorland (approaching Ethan and pointing at him): Report to SCU in one hour.
Ethan: You're joking!
Rosa: Ethan, help us.
(Rosa and Dorland leave. Ethan also want to leave, but feels that there is someone behind him. We see a lot of faceless demons in black robes, pulling his hands to Ethan. Ethan turns back but there’s no one behind him.)
CHAPTER 1
(We see a helicopter hovering in the air and an equipping soldier, as well as Rosa's voice on the radio.)
Rosa: Search Team, check in.
Dorland: Dorland here. Rooftop is secure.
Le Rue: Le Rue here, ready to give this shit hole an enema.
Pilot: No signs of activity. Good luck down there.
Dorland: Copy that.
Rosa: Ethan, you with us?
Dorland (to Ethan): Listen, you agreed to help us, but if you want to crawl back under your cardboard box, that's fine by me.
Ethan: Back off…
(The game starts. Dorland approaching Ethan.)
Dorland (to Ethan): Let's get one thing straight, Mr. Thomas, you're here to help us locate and identify Malcolm Vanhorn, nothing more. Understood?
Ethan (respond): What the hell's your problem, Dorland?
Dorland (to Ethan): You're a drunk and a liability.
Dorland (to Ethan): Here, take a moment to get familiar with your weapon.
Le Rue: Yeah, and shoot some of these rats while you're at it. Flea-carrying bastards...
FIREARM COMBAT: Use R1 to fire. Note that ammo is limited to what can be carried in the firearm.
Rosa (over the radio): Alright, we're going in from the top. Phone records indicate the call originated from this area.
Le Rue: Of course it would be in the worst friggin' part of town...
Le Rue: So, what exactly are we looking for, Rosa?
Rosa (over the radio): According to the message, a body, possibly two.
La Rue: Got it, two stiffs more important than the hundreds of others found dead out here.
Dorland: Can it, Le Rue.
Le Rue: I'm just saying, shit's fucked up in this city.
Dorland: That’s enough. Let’s move.
(The heroes begin to explore the area.)
Le Rue: The cops call this place Needles Inn. Speedballers jacked up on coke, heroin, and amphetamines rule this place. You best stay alert.
Dorland: Okay team, prepare for entry. Stand clear of the door.
Dorland: Access the Lock Box over there and reload your weapon.
LOCKBOXES: SCU Lockboxes are scattered throughout the city and are typically filled with medical supplies, ammo and firearms. Most boxes are fitted with satellite transmitters and can easily be found using an SCU issued GPS.
Dorland (over the radio): Le Rue, we’re in.
Le Rue: Copy that.
Dorland: Mr. Thomas, check it out.
(Ethan goes to examine the corridor.)
Dorland: Let me remind you, unnecessary use of force will not be tolerated.
Le Rue: Don't mind him. No one gives a shit about these drug-sniffing freaks.
(Ethan frightens some drug addict. There is nothing else in the corridor.)
Dorland: Okay, let's keep moving.
Le Rue: Mr. Thomas, take a look at this…
Le Rue: Wanna hit a speedballer where it hurts? Destroy one of their methlabs.
Le Rue: Go ahead... The honor is all yours, brother.
(Heroes go further and find a hole in the wall, covered with plywood.)
Dorland: You first, Mr. Thomas.
Le Rue: Take it slow.
(Ethan is attacked by a drug addict. Dorland and Le Rue is attacked too.)
Le Rue: We're pinned down!
Le Rue: Thomas! Flank this motherfucker!
Le Rue: Don't play possum with me, you soulless piece of human waste!
(Ethan defeats all enemies.)
Dorland: The elevator lobby should be up ahead. Let's go.
(Ethan finds another TV.)
Sarah Brenton: Good evening, I’m Sarah Brenton with City News. Tonight we like to introduce you a new segment called Streets, hosted by Tony Rhodes. Tony is perhaps best known for his work last year during the SKX murders and we’re very exited to see to learn what he uncovers about the city we live in. Tony?
Tony Rhodes: Thank you, Sarah… The streets scream out for us they are in pain but no one knows why. I’m going to live, eat, breathe the streets for the next few weeks if we the public can find out what evidently the local government can’t or won’t tell us. Stay tuned for the Street News for further live on the scene reports. I’m Tony Rhodes.
(Ethan finds Dorland.)
Dorland: We've reached the elevators.
Rosa (over the radio): Roger that, Search Team, stand by.
(Ethan pulls out some kind of smartphone.)
Rosa (over the smartphone): Okay Ethan, it'll be up to you and me to locate Vanhorn.
Rosa (over the smartphone): I've uploaded your field with what we know so far. Now let's get started.
Rosa (over the smartphone): There were two gunshots in the recording, suggesting that we may be looking for two bodies, one being Vanhorn, the other s Metro Police Officer. Signature overlays indicate that both shots came from the same weapon, a .38 caliber handgun.
Possible responds:
Are you ruling out other weapons?
Any officers reported in the area during the time of the call?
.38 caliber weapons are also known to jam right?
Ethan: Any officers reported in the area during the time of the call?
Rosa (over the smartphone): We’ve been informed that a Metro Officer in the area is no longer responding. Find him. He may be in need of assistance.
Rosa (over the smartphone): Alright, let’s move on…
While reviewing the recording, I came across a rumbling noise in the background. It was faint, but when I cross-referenced the sample to known sources, I was able to narrow it down to a passing commuter train.
Possible responds:
Are there trains still operating in this part of town?
Is there a commuter train that passes near the hotel?
Were there any trains in operation during the time of the call?
Ethan: Is there a commuter train that passes near the hotel?
Rosa (over the smartphone): Yes, Metro Transit Rail passes by the North wing. Narrow your search to that area.
Dorland: Proceeding to the hotel lobby.
Rosa (over the radio): Copy that Search Team.
(Dorland tries to open the elevator doors with his hands.)
Ethan (respond): What the hell are you planning on doing?
Dorland: Taking a short cut, now step back.
Dorland: We can access the main lobby through here.
Dorland: I’ll go first. Le Rue will bring up the rear.
(Dorland jumps into the elevator shaft, grabs the ladder and descends.)
Dorland (over the radio): Your turn Mr. Thomas.
(Ethan jumps and grabs the ladder, but it breaks off and Ethan falls down.)
Dorland (over the radio): Are you hurt? Did you break anything?
Ethan (respond): No! I'm good!
Le Rue (over the radio): Here it comes!
(Ethan opens the door and begins to explore the area. While he does it, he hears the conversations of his friends on the radio.)
Dorland (over the radio): Mr. Thomas! Respond.
Dorland (over the radio): Christ, we've lost contact.
Rosa (over the radio): Any sign of Ethan?
Dorland (over the radio): Negative.
Dorland (over the radio): These old buildings are shit for reception...
Dorland (over the radio): Mr. Thomas, if you can hear me, make your way to the hotel lobby - we'll meet up with you there.
SPECTROMETER: Your Spectrometer can detect and track suspicious sound sources. To use, access your tool inventory by pressing and holding Square Button and then select Spectrometer. Use the Spectrometer to locate the Sonic Emitter.
(Ethan continue to search the area.)
Rosa (over the radio): Search team be advised that a surge of riot activity has been reported in your area.
Le Rue (over the radio): In the hotel?
Rosa (over the radio): Negative, a block north of your location.
Dorland (over the radio): Understood.
(Ethan goes further.)
Dorland (over the radio): We've got riot activity outside.
Le Rue (over the radio): I hope that riot don't get the bright idea of comin' in here.
Dorland (over the radio): Just stay focused on finding Vanhorn.
AIMING MODE: To bring the gun up and increase accuracy, press and hold L1. Your alcohol withdrawals cause jitters so find and drink small quantities to 'calm' your nerves.
(Ethan goes on and stumbles over the very extremists that Rosa was talking about.)
Le Rue (over the radio): Sounds like the situation's on its way to completely fucked out there.
Dorland (over the radio): Cut the cutter Le Rue.
(Ethan kills the extremists and goes on.)
Dorland (over the radio): Mr. Thomas?
Ethan (respond): Stop worrying. I'm in the main lobby.
(Ethan stumbles on his first corpse and studies it.)
FORENSIC INVESTIGATION: The goal is to find evidence, decipher clues and make observations that answer the forensic task. To get started approach the body and press Cross Button to Study Evidence.
Ethan: Rosa, come in.
Rosa (over the radio): Glad to hear you're still with us. What do you got?
Ethan: A dead body...
Rosa (over the radio): Okay, let's try and make an ID.
(Ethan inspect the corpse as a real forensic expert.)
Rosa (over the radio): Receiving evidence now.
Rosa (over the radio): Hmm… male police officer-service number belongs to a… Deputy Dennis Black of the Metro Police Department.
Rosa (over the radio): I'll notify MPD. According to dispatch, he’s been missing for almost two days now.
Rosa (over the radio): Can you determine the cause of death?
(Ethan inspects the body again.)
Rosa (over the radio): Got it.
Rosa (over the radio): Good work. It appears the victim bled out from a gunshot wound to the chest.
Rosa (over the radio): I’m guessing this shooting is connected to our investigation somehow.
Rosa (over the radio): Has the body been moved? Is this the crime scene?
(Ethan examines the traces on the floor.)
Rosa (over the radio): Okay it's coming through now.
Rosa (over the radio): The blood trails suggests the victim crawled to this location then dies. It may lead you back to the crime scene and possibly Vanhorn.
(Ethan finds a radio and adjust its antenna.)
Tony Rhodes: Unemployment grown dramatically in the city, especially in the downtown districts. We now have an unemployment rate of 16%. Where did they all go? They didn’t leave the city from what we can tell. They’re right here — on the street, livin a life of crime, murder — and insanity… Why did they walk away from their family, good-paying jobs, their homes — to sink into a quagmire of drugs, violence and hard-core crime? You want to know… we want to know… Stay tuned to the City News for further live, on the scene reports — I’m Tony Rhodes.
(Ethan continue to explore and finds a body.)
Dorland (over the radio): Jesus. Is that... what IS that?
Le Rue (over the radio): Well... it's a body, but it ain't Vanhorn.
Dorland (over the radio): Keep moving, then.
Le Rue (over the radio): Didn't think meth could DO that to somebody.
Dorland (over the radio): I don't think it's just the meth.
Le Rue (over the radio): What the fuck IS this shit then?
Dorland (over the radio): Who cares, stick to the mission and keep searching.
(Ethan finds a police radio.)
Officer: Dispatch, twenty-fourteen, we need additional units at Fourth and Stafford, the crowd's spreading out now.
Dispatcher: Twenty-fourteen, roger.
(Ethan finds a new crime scene and studies it.)
Ethan (to himself): Well, the blood spatter fans outwards, so the victim must have dropped down from the floor above.
Ethan (to Rosa): Rosa, I'm proceeding to the second floor.
Rosa (over the radio): Are you onto something?
Ethan: Possibly.
Rosa (over the radio): Copy that. Watch your back.
(Ethan opens the elevator doors with his hands and descends into its shaft. He comes down and hears Dorland's voice on the radio.)
Dorland (over the radio): Rosa, we're hearing multiple gunshots from the floors under us. What's the status on the riot?
Rosa (over the radio): Satellite imagery confirms that the rioters have entered the building.
Le Rue (over the radio): They just entered the building! First floor!
Dorland (over the radio): Damn! Rosa, we'll need an air-evac once the victim has been located.
Rosa (over the radio): Copy that. Transport is on stand-by.
(Ethan finds another TV.)
Tony Rhodes: I have walked where they walk. I have taken the bum tour — and much of what I have seen can’t be fully explained. They appear to be rambling madman, crazy women — all bent on destruction — but there is a sense of purpose, almost a sense of organization. The violence spirals out of control for the police and fire departments — and here I remain — at ground zero… Stay tuned to the City News for further live, on the scene reports — I’m Tony Rhodes.
(Ethan finds police radio on a table in a big room.)
Dispatcher: Eleven-eighteen, we have several individuals seen here moving down alleys, probably moving to join the riot.
Officer: Dispatch, twenty-fourteen, we need Metro PD in here now.
Demon: Do you feel it? The fear of being alone?
(Ethan finds the room he needed.)
Ethan: Rosa, I've got more evidence here.
Rosa (over the radio): Is it related to the victim you found earlier?
Ethan: Let me verify.
(Ethan investigate the crime scene.)
Rosa (over the radio): Okay, receiving data...
Rosa (over the radio): Awesome work. If the killer murders his first victim, then seconds later shoots Vanhorn, Vanhorn's body must be nearby, like in an adjacent room.
(Ethan sees a hole in the floor, looks into it and sees a mutilated corpse.)
Ethan (respond): Jesus.
(Ethan jumps into the hole. On the wall next to the corpse, we see an inscription written in blood: “My eyes have seen the glory”)
Ethan: Rosa, I've located Vanhorn.
Rosa (over the radio): Excellent!
Dorland (over the radio): Mr. Thomas, what's your location?
(Ethan explore the room and finds its number.)
Ethan: I'm in room one one nine.
Dorland (over the radio): Copy that. We're on our way. You're not to touch anything until we arrive.
Rosa (over the radio): Ethan tin the meantime send me a picture of the body.
(Ethan takes a picture.)
Rosa (over the radio): Now get a close up of his face.
Rosa (sitting in her office): And finally, get a tight shot of the chest area.
Ethan (over the radio): Got it. Sending it to you now.
Rosa (sitting in her office): Copy that. Be careful, Ethan. I hear it's getting pretty crazy out there.
Dorland (over the radio): Have the lab ready… nobody is to examine the body until it's been removed. Is that understood?
Dorland (over the radio): Good.
Dorland (over the radio): I'll see to our other problem personally. Dorland out.
Rosa (sitting in her office): I wonder what that was about.
Rosa (sitting in her office): Okay, receiving image now.
Rosa (sitting in her office): God what a mess, he took the entire sternum...
Rosa (sitting in her office): Wait a minute...this...this is not possible.
Rosa (sitting in her office): Ethan
Rosa (sitting in her office): Ethan, come in.
(The scene changes, we see Dorland and Le Rue running along the railroad tracks and carrying a corpse, followed by a crowd of crazy people along with Ethan.)
Dorland: God dammit! Where's our fucking transport?
Pilot (over the radio): I'm en route. Two minutes tops.
Le Rue: You better make that one or there'll be no waiting for this table.
Pilot (over the radio): English Le Rue!
Le Rue: Get your ass here or we're toast!
Pilot (over the radio): Roger that.
(Dorland shoots at the madmans that follows him. He makes several shots on the electric box and its explodes forming a fiery barrier. Dorland and Le Rue escape and Ethan remains alone with the madmans.)
Ethan: Fuck.
