High Rollers

Felix: "B24," it turns out, refers to a safe deposit box contained with the Casino Luttazzi's Archive Room. As for the "wire" mentioned on the disk, I assume the Pantheon is funding their research through laundered casino money

Sev: Whatever's in that box, my money says it points us right to Gusev

Marshall: That's the hope. So, we 're gonna blow open their vault. But, it's not the cash we're after

Bell: Though it's a nice bonus

Felix: Inside the vault is the only place I can override the Archive Room's security

Marshall: And while the Luttazzis are distracted by our "heist," Bell is gonna infil the Archive Room and find the box

Sev: Even getting close to that room will be tough

Marshall: Not if casino security escorts Bell right into the wing containing the Archive Room

Felix: Where they usually question "persons of interest."

Bell: So I'm going to let them capture me on purpose

Felix: Precisely

Sev: With that metal arm, you should be able to break out more easily than the rest of us

Marshall: It's dangerous, and it's gonna take all of us to pull it off... Starting with me at the high roller table. Winning big there sets our whole plan into motion

Sev: We'll be ready

Marshall: I know you will. Let's find out what the Pantheon's hiding in that casino

(Time skip... Back in Avalon...)

Marshall: Woods, you ready?

Woods: Good on my end. Just waiting on Bell. You?

Marshall: All set

(Bell is prowling the casino canals for a way in)

Woods: All set, Bell?

Bell: I'm ready

Woods: You know the score: Gotta tap all three junction boxes to give me the full view

(Bell equips his silenced 9mm PM pistol and makes his way through the canals, silently killing any guards he encounters and hiding their bodies in the water. Eventually, he reaches the first junction box and places a surveillance bug inside it)

Woods: Camera feed up. Got eyes on the main floor. Real swanky. Two to go

(Bell continues through the canals until he reaches the second junction box and places another bug inside it)

Woods: Security room feeds. These guys ain't messing around. One more

(Bell proceeds further with his task until he reaches the third and final junction box where he places the last bug inside it)

Woods: And there's the vault and armory. Lot of firepower hanging on the walls. That takes care of the cameras. Time to head inside and give yourself up, Bell. They'll haul you to the back of the casino, get you close to the archive room. Actually, some security waiting outside the door. This should be easy

Bell: Alright... Here goes nothing

(Bell makes his way from the canals and walks up the stairs to the door leading into the casino)

Woods: Get ready

(Bell opens the door and encounters two guards who immediately grab him)

Guard: Well, what do we have here?

(The first guard pistol-whips Bell to the floor while the second guard speaks)

Guard: Looks like a little sewer rat. Let's talk. In private

(The second guard punches Bell in the face, knocking him unconscious. The scene shifts to the van where Woods watches the monitors display Case being taken into custody by the guards)

Woods: That'll do it. Bell is in. Marshall, your time to shine. Win that table and you'll have access to the High Roller Lounge

(Marshall is in the middle of a match with Badeaux at the poker table while Bell is taken by the luttazzi security guards and cuffed to a chair. Felix works on tech while Sev performs her own infiltration)

(In the wine cellar, Bell is getting repeatedly punched by a luttazzi security guard)

Guard: Nothin' huh?

(The guard punches Bell two more times before the supervisor halts it)

Guard: Well, I think you've wasted enough of our time. Francesco, let's finish up and take them down below

(The ground rumbles and shakes from an explosion, catching the guards' attention)

Supervisor: Another one? Go help them up there. I'll take care of this myself

(The two guards exit the cellar, leaving Bell alone with the security supervisor)

Supervisor: You know something about this?

(The supervisor punches Bell)

Supervisor: And here I thought we were gonna let you off easy... Oh, no. The canal is too good for you. This is gonna get real uncomfortable now

(The supervisor takes out his knife and brandishes it in front of Bell. Bell quickly uses his metal arm to break free of the cuffs and blocks a stab from the supervisor. He snaps the supervisor's arm, grabs the knife, and stabs him in the neck with it)

Woods: Payback's a bitch

(The supervisor crumbles to the floor and dies from the knife wound)

Woods: Now grab some hardware and get to the Archive Room

Bell: Time to join the party

(Bell grabs an AK-47 off of a shelf and exits the wine cellar, where he encounters a few more luttazzi security guards)

Guard: What's going on at the vault?

(Bell shoots the guards dead and moves on to the vault)

Guard: Hey, it's that guy from downstairs!

Marshall: Felix, get it open! Now!

(Bell quickly runs down the hallway and onto the vault floor where the archive room is located)

Felix: Archive Room security is... down!

(The door to the Archive Room opens, allowing Bell access into it. He pries it open with his metal arm and starts looking around)

Marshall: My man

(Marshall, Sev, and Felix engage in a firefight with the luttazzi security guards while Bell searches the archive room)

Woods: They've got it, Bell. Worry about that lockbox! Whatever the Pantheon's hiding, it's in box B24

Bell: B24. On it

(Bell enters the Archive Room and searches the area for box B24. Eventually, he finds it and crushes the lock with his metal hand. He rips the door to it open and retrieves a folder filled with documents)

Woods: Looks like a dossier of some kind. Stow it. Bell, Luttazzi headin' your way

Marshall: We're still pinned down over here

Bell: On my way

(Bell eliminates the guards with his AK-47 and makes his way over to rejoin his teammates)

Marshall: We're out, Bell. Coming your way

(Bell rejoins the rest of the team by the stairwell and they head back up onto the casino floor)

Marshall: Let's go! We've got a boat in the canal with our names on it!

Sev: Great work, Bell. You really took one for the team

Bell: It was a lot more than one

Marshall: Follow me!

Woods: Heavy enemy presence on the main floor. Some civilians still running around too-watch your fire

(Bell, Marshall, Sev, and Felix reach the casino floor where they encounter heavily armed guards)

Marshall: Tangos by the bar!

Sev: Behind the lounge!

Bell: Under the blackjack table!

(Bell, Marshall, Sev, and Felix push through the casino floor, eliminating more guards along the way)

Marshall: Craps tables!

Felix: Behind the slot machines!

Bell: Behind the poker table!

Marshall: Cut through 'em! Keep pushing!

Woods: Hey! Pantheon's here! Couple of those Elites!

Marshall: Shit, what kind?

Woods: Asshole with a shield... Scratch that-two assholes with shields

(The squad reaches the main casino lobby where they encounter the Pantheon Elites)

Marshall: Maintain distance, people. Try to flank 'em. Take these guys out!

Sev: They don't go down easy!

Bell: I've got this!

(Bell pulls the pin on a grenade and rolls it under the shields, blowing up those pantheon elites. The rest of the pantheon soldiers aren't as much trouble)

Marshall: Show 'em, Bell! Let's go!

Sev: We're almost to the canals!

Felix: Run!

Marshall: Through here!

(The squad runs through the door leading into the canals)

Marshall: Go, go, go!

(Bell, Marshall, Sev, and Felix all reach the canals, fighting their way past pantheon soldiers)

Marshall: Boat's up ahead. Last stretch

(More Pantheon soldiers arrive and engage the team)

Sev: More Pantheon!

Marshall: Move!

Felix: Watch for traps!
