RED DEAD REDEMPTION III

*cutscene*

INT. LOW CLASS NEW YORK CITY STORE - MID DAY

Jack is in the midst of his shift in a small store located in the low class area of New York. As he is helping this customer finish up the door bell rings and a man walks into the store but Jack doesn’t really focus on him. The man moves very quickly to the interior window, the fruit section, as if to analyse it. However, Jack does notice that this man is very well dressed; too well dressed to be coming to a store like this. After the customer leaves Jack addresses this customer; who is still to the window looking at the fruit.

Jack Marston

Hello sir you looking for anything in particular.

(The man lets out a scoff)

The Man

You know,

(whilst analysing apple in hand: close to eyes)

in 1914, an agent by the name of Edgar Ross, was found dead near Lake Don Julio in New Austin.

(The man puts the apple back with the rest of the fruits and turns around to look at Jack who is completely fixed on what the man is saying)

cont- It was dirty business. His brother, had found him close to the lake, riddled with bullets.

(The man walks towards Jack who is behind the counter)

cont - no-one knew who did it, no-one would know why. Edgar Ross was a perfectly upstanding member of society and an even more upstanding agent. You know, he even managed to take down the last remaining members of the Van Der Linde Gang years prior to his death.

(beat)

cont - Do you remember them?

(Jack notices a badge on this mans blazer as he comes closer, Jack is still silent)

cont - these guys were brutal, I mean the files on these fellas. But you know what really interested me was this one guy, he wasn’t like the others, seemed to be living a life of recluse with his wife and son.

(beat)

cont - Until Ross found him, used him to track down the rest of the Van Der Linde gang. Than, Than they put him down.

(beat)

cont - But you see this guy, he had a son and I couldn't imagine what the death of a father, that young would do to a guy. Filled with so much anger, and rage he just might go off for revenge. Kill the guy who murdered his father. What do you say to that, Mr Marston.

(Jack is frozen)

Jack Marston

You come here to arrest me?

(Man smiles at Jack)

Agent

My name is Agent Langart, working with the Bureau of Investigation and no Mr Marston I’ve not come to arrest you. No instead I’ve come with an opportunity. An opportunity for you to earn back you’re freedom.

Jack Marston

I already did my time, I fought-

Agent Langart

Yes we know, you fought in the great war and you’re service is recognised, you did you’re country a great favour. However, you also killed one of the governments most favourable agents, and that just can’t go overlooked

(beat)

cont- the Bureau wants you to aid us in the take down of a growing Mafia ring here, in New York. It would consist of you going undercover, with a new alias and background, infiltrating the gang and destroying it, from the inside out.

Jack Marston

-have I got a choice.

Agent Langart

Outside you’re store there are a dozen Bureau agents ready to come and take you down and once they do you would be tried for the murder of Agent Ross - probably looking at a life sentence. So, No you haven’t got a choice.

(Agent Langart goes through his jacket and brings out a BOI card with his name -Agent Lile Langart- and and address to the Bureau building as well as numbers, he places it on the counter)

Agent Langart

Come see me at this address when you’re ready.

(Agent Langart walks to the door. Jack picks up the card. Agent Langart stops when he gets to the door.)

Agent Langart

Were watching you Mr Marston.

(The door bell Rings and Agent Langart leaves prompting his men to do also. They get in a car and drive away seen by the player from the window)

*cutscene ends and gameplay resumes*

Player is free to look at the BOI card and go to the Bureau building located in the high class area on New York.
