III. Script ******************************************************************
******************************************************************************
It is the late 1990s...
The world is embarking on
an age of peace and stability.
Relations between the Cold War
superpowers have thawed.
Regional conflicts are being
resolved. The threat of nuclear
war is now a thing of the past.
But there are some
who do not desire peace...
An atmosphere of tension begins
to build in the Middle East.
A military junta comes to power
in Zanzibar Land, a small nation
bordering on the USSR, China,
and the Middle East.
Zanzibar Land attacks nuclear
weapons disposal sites around
the world, seizing those weapons
that are still intact, and becomes
the world's only nuclear power.
It then begins to invade its
neighbors at will.
After renouncing nukes forever,
the world is once again threatened
by the specter of nuclear war.
Meanwhile, the world's oil supply,
which was to last another 30
years, suddenly, and unexpectedly
dries up. Without a safe
alternative source of energy,
the world faces a severe energy
crisis.
It is in these dire circumstances
that Dr. Kio Marv, a Czech
biologist, develops "OILEX",
a microbe that can synthesize
high-grade petroleum.
With this discovery, global
tensions are once again on the
rise. On his way to attend an
American scientific conference,
Dr. Marv is kidnapped by agents
of Zanzibar Land.
With its nuclear weapons and
the secret of OILEX, Zanzibar Land
plans to achieve global military
domination.
A tiny microbe, only a few
microns wide, is about to change
the world forever.
**********************************************
Snake: This is Snake... I've reached the
infiltration point.
Campbell: Snake... Right on time, as always.
Let's get started... Commencing
Operation Intrude F014.
Let's go over this one more time.
Your mission is to infiltrate Zanzibar
Land and rescue the kidnapped
Czech biologist, Dr. Kio Marv.
Snake, we've provided you with a
new anti-personnel sensor. Try
switching it on.
Snake: Roger... OK, it's on.
Campbell: The white dots on your radar are
enemy soldiers. The red dot is your
current position.
The radar is equipped with several
other types of sensors as well. They
should warn you of any unseen
dangers.
Snake: What's the radar's effective range?
Campbell: Take a look at your radar display. It
shows a 9-screen area centered on
your position. However, it may not
work in small, enclosed
spaces.
Also, if the enemy spots you, you
won't be able to use the radar. The
enemy will use a jammer to
scramble it.
Snake: Got it. ...Where can I find Dr. Marv?
Campbell: Well. Dr. Marv has a transmitter
implanted in one of his molar teeth.
When you get close to him, he'll
show up as a red dot on your radar.
Snake: So I just have to keep an eye out
for the red dot...
Campbell: Snake, use frequency 140.85 for all
future communications with me.
...Good luck.
...Over and out.
**********************************************
CALL
Campbell: Use crawling to sneak through gaps
in the fence... Over and out.
**********************************************
CALL
Campbell: You can't sneak in through the
front door. Use the vents... Over
and out.
**********************************************
CALL
Holy: I'm Holly. Holly White.
I infiltrated Zanzibar Land a month
ago, posing as a journalist.
So I know pretty much how things
work around here... I'll help you any
way I can.
My frequency is 140.15. Call me...
Later!
**********************************************
*Boss Fight*
Marv: Heh heh heh... Foolish FOXHOUND!
Dr. Marv isn't here! Figures that
FOXHOUND would use such a
cheap transmitter... You guys are
really behind the times.
(Marv removes his disguise)
Black Ninja: I am Black Ninja, a former member
of NASA's extraterrestrial
environment special forces unit.
Now let's see just how strong the
world's most advanced black ops
unit really is!
Show me what you got,
FOXHOUND!
(Snake defeats Black Ninja)
Black Ninja: ...Snake...
Snake: Who are you? ...How did you know
my name?
Black Ninja: It's... it's me... Schneider, Kyle
Schneider. Remember me?
Snake: Schneider? ...You were in the
Resistance at Outer Heaven!
But... I thought they killed you!
Black Ninja: You've still got a lot to learn,
Snake.
I was almost killed, but not by
them. By you, and your country.
Snake: What are you saying, Schneider?
Black Ninja: ...Snake, after you destroyed Metal
Gear,
NATO launched a massive bombing
campaign against Outer Heaven.
All of us Resistance fighters...and
the children of Outer Heaven...they
didn't care about any of us.
There was no escape from the
flames... They died like animals in a
cage.
Snake: I... can't believe this...
Black Ninja: Think about it. The children of
Outer Heaven were originally was
orphans and refugees from all over
the world.
They were a liability... and NATO
didn't want to deal with them...
Snake: ...No...
Black Ninja: You're no different. They'll forget
about you, too... But he wasn't like
them...
Snake: Who....?
Black Ninja: He came... and saved us from
annihilation.
He forgave us for what we'd done.
He gave us a new land to call
home... A new family...
Snake: He did...? You mean...
Black Ninja: Snake, you'll understand soon...
what a wonderful man he is...
Snake... I owe you a debt. There's
no hate between us. I'll tell you
where Dr. Marv is.
It's what he would want me to do...
Find the man who's guarding the
cell where Dr. Marv is being held.
Follow that man...and he should
lead you straight to the cell.
You can tell him by his green beret.
He should be on the first floor. Got
that? A green beret.
Follow the man in the green beret!
(Black Ninja dies)
**********************************************
(Snake reaches the cell, which is empty but hears a knocking
coming from the wall that turns out to be a radio frequency)
Snake: This is Solid Snake...
Come in.
Dr. Madnar: Ah, I see you figured out my code...
Snake: Where's Dr. Marv?
Dr. Madnar: It's been a while. Eh, Solid Snake?
Snake: Dr. Drago Pettrovich Madnar? How
did you...?!
Dr. Madnar: Marv and I knew each other from
the Prague academy. We didn't
speak each other’s language, but
were scientific comrades, after
a fashion.
I was captured along with Marv
while we were in America.
Snake: Where is Dr. Marv?!
Dr. Madnar: He was moved from here to the
tower building a few days ago. It's
a tall building a few kilometers north
of here.
Snake: Dammit, I'm late again! So Marv's
in the tower building?
Dr. Madnar: Snake, can you guess why they've
left me alive?
Snake: They must need you for
something...and that means...
Dr. Madnar: Yes... Metal gear. Snake it is
here... In Zanzibar Land.
They've already completed a new
Metal Gear. The one you destroyed
three years ago was only a
prototype...
The new, improved Metal Gear is
many, many times more powerful!
They're also working on a light
version for mass
production.
Snake: Then it was Metal Gear that
attacked the nuke disposal sites...
Dr. Madnar: Precisely. Metal Gear is a
nuclear-equipped walking tank. Its
true power is unleashed only when
it is armed with nuclear
weapons.
Zanzibar Land now has the only
nukes in the world. And now they
have their sights set on OILIX, a
miracle energy source.
Snake... Now that you know all this,
perhaps you can guess who is
behind it...?
Snake: Big... Boss?!
Dr. Madnar: The very same! With Metal Gear
and OILEX, he plots to rule the
world. We cannot let the secret of
OILEX fall into his hands!
Science is not meant to be used
only for killing. Marv's will is strong,
but his heart is weak. We must
hurry!
I don't know how long he can
withstand their torture.
Snake: If they use drugs on him, he won't
last long...
Dr. Madnar: Marv and I were both carrying
microtransmitters inside our bodies.
They were given to us by a female
agent from STB.
You could get in touch with her if
you knew her frequency.
Snake: Madnar, what are you going to do?
Dr. Madnar: The wall separating us is made of
Chobham armor plate. You can't
blast your way through it. Just leave
me here and go rescue Marv,
Snake.
Snake: All right. I'll come back for you later.
Dr. Madnar: Snake...
My daughter Ellen is a fan of yours.
She's not married yet, and I'm
afraid I...
...Oh, and I have a zoologist friend,
Johan Jacobsen, who lives around
here. You can reach him on
frequency 140.40.
He'll tell you anything you need to
know about animals...
Snake: Don't worry. I'll make sure you get
home in time for your daughter's
wedding.
Dr. Madnar: Thank you, Snake...
**********************************************
CALL
#1 Fan: Snake! Watch out! You're in a
minefield!
Snake: Who are you?
#1 Fan: I'm your number one fan. Keep up
the good work.
**********************************************
Kid: They told us this is a bottomless
swamp, and it's too dangerous to
get close... But...
I saw a big truck driving through
here. You believe me, right?
**********************************************
Kid: Trucks come in and out of here all
the time.
**********************************************
*Boss Fight*
Running Man: A visitor! What a pleasant surprise!
...And just in time, too.
I was about to go for a little run.
I am Running Man, the world's
fastest mercenary. No man can
keep up with me!
See for yourself!!
(Running Man runs around)
Running Man: ...pant...pant... What do you think?
Pretty fast, eh? But I'm just getting
warmed up!
Hear that sound? That's nerve
gas. Defeat me before the gas gets
to you, and you might survive.
The clock is ticking... Let the race
begin!
(Snake defeats Running Man)
Running Man: ...You... you used my speed against
me... What's your name?
Snake: Snake... Solid Snake.
Running Man: ...Snake....? The cheetah has lost
to a snake...? How could this
happen?
Snake: ...Guess you weren't fast enough.
(Running Man dies)
**********************************************
Kid: I know what that it! It's a stinger
missile!
They took some to the factory on
the west side of the Zanzibar
buildings 1st floor the other day.
Said they were gonna put them on
some tanks.
Kid: I hate people who use guns!
**********************************************
CALL
Holly: That's signing sand, imported all
the way from Okinawa, Japan.
It squeaks when you walk on it. The
sand will give your position away,
so be careful...See ya.
**********************************************
CALL
Campbell: You're good with a cardboard box,
right? Why not try posing as part of
the cargo?
I'm changing the frequency for our
future communications.
The new frequency can be found in
a photo in the software
manual...Over and out.
**********************************************
CALL
Holly: Snake! I'm in trouble! They
discovered my identity and now I'm
a prisoner! Help me!
Just when I finally managed to
contact Dr. Marv...
Snake: Where are you?! Give me your
location!
Holly: ...I don't know. I was blindfolded. I
think it's somewhere in the tower
building... Oh yeah!
Snake! ...I hear noises! Off to the
left... I hear an elevator!
And to the right... I hear a noise
like a pump. There's water flowing
in front of me and behind me.
Snake: Water in front and behind... a pump
to the right... and an elevator to
the left? I think I've got a pretty
good picture now.
Holly: Snake, I don't think they know
about my radio yet. But come
quick! I'll be waiting.
**********************************************
Kid: There used to be a veranda south
of here, but the passage is buried
now.
**********************************************
Kid: The one-eyed man is like our
daddy. He doesn't like grown-ups.
**********************************************
Kid: Are you friends with the blond lady,
mister?
**********************************************
Kid: The one-eyed man told us to tell
him if we saw a man wearing green
clothes.
The blond lady says he isn't here.
**********************************************
(After finding Holly)
Holly: Thanks, Snake, you saved me!
Snake: ...
Holly: What's wrong?
Snake: I... didn't think you'd be this pretty.
Holly: What, you thought I'd be ugly?
Snake: I should have met up with you
sooner.
Holly: Snake, about Dr. Marv... I'm pretty
sure he's OK.
Snake: Pretty sure? I thought you said
you'd made contact.
Holly: Well, I haven't actually met him.
He's under armed guard
somewhere... But he sent a
message by carrier pigeon. It might
be some kind of clue.
Snake: A pigeon? ...Where is it now?
Holly: I found it, but it flew away just as I
was about to catch it... I saw it
heading up the elevator in the
tower building.
Snake: Toward the roof?!
Holly: The bad guys are looking for it,
too. We have to find it before they
do. It's our only clue to Dr. Marv's
whereabouts.
Snake: A pigeon hunt... What are you going
to do?
Holly: I'd only get in your way. I want to
gather a little more info. I'm starting
to like this place less and less...
And then this happens.
If this keeps up, I'm really gonna let
'em have it!
Snake: I see you've still got spirit... Just
do anything crazy.
Holly: The enemy might be listening in, so
let's change our frequency to
140.76. OK, Snake?
Oh, and I made a copy of my IC
card. It's card 4. Here, take it...
See you later, Snake... Take care of
yourself.
Snake: Holly!!
Holly: What..?
Snake: That's the kind of thing you would
say to your boyfriend when you kiss
him goodbye.
Holly: ...Then what, Snake? ...What
should I say?
Snake: Stay alive, and we'll meet again
sometime...
Holly: Deal.
(Holly leaves)
**********************************************
Kid: The one-eyed man said we
shouldn't go against the current.
He said you can see lots of new
things, if you just go along with the
flow... Do you know what he
meant?
**********************************************
Kid: The water in the ditch is freezing.
You'll catch a cold if you stay in
too long.
**********************************************
Kid: I heard this ditch is connected to
the next building by jet stream.
**********************************************
Kid: Did you know? There's an old sewer
under the ditch.
**********************************************
*Boss Fight*
Snake: Wh.. What is this? ...A booby trap?
Red Blaster: That's right. A trap clever enough
to catch a fox. Or should I say, a
FOXHOUND?
I am Red Blaster, and you're not
going anywhere. My grenades will
see to it that your death is
slow...and painful.
**********************************************
CALL
Holly: The door to the roof is painted
shut to prevent trespassers.
But it's jury-rigged, so you can
probably blow it up pretty easily with
plastic explosives...See ya.
**********************************************
(After catching the Pigeon)
Snake: Huh...?
There's a piece of paper tied to the
pigeon's leg.
HELP! WIS. OhIO
KIO MARV...
Snake: Only the H is in lowercase... Some
kind of message from Dr. Marv?
What could it mean?
(The message is Dr. Marv's Radio frequency upside down)
Snake: This is Solid Snake...
Come in.
Marv: Tady je Marv. Co ma delat?
Checeme jenom mir.
Delame pouze svjr ukol. Pevne
doufam, ze me zachranite. Mrj
puiteli.
Drahy puiteli!
Snake: ...What's he saying...? I can't
understand a word. Better ask
Madnar.
Snake: This is Solid Snake...
Come in.
Dr. Madnar: Marv can only speak Czech and
Slovakian. He's also the wary type,
and especially so in his current
predicament.
Snake: What about you, Madnar?
Dr. Madnar: I can only speak Russian and
English... Wait, I've got it! Gustava
can speak to him!
Snake: Gustava? ...Is that the STB woman
who was protecting you?
Dr. Madnar: She'll be able to understand him,
and Marv trusts her well.
Snake: Is this Gustava still alive?
Dr. Madnar: Not to worry. Gustava is no
ordinary woman. She is a seasoned
professional.
When we were captured, she alone
managed to steal an enemy uniform
and escape.
No doubt she's hiding somewhere
inside Zanzibar Land, waiting for
her chance.
Snake: Does she have a radio?
Dr. Madnar: No, it was taken away right after
we were captured... The only thing I
know is that she's wearing an
enemy uniform.
Snake: There must be some kind of clue I
can use...
Dr. Madnar: Here's your clue: She's a woman.
Don't be fooled by her enemy
disguise... There are no woman
soldiers in this fortress.
That's all you need to know.
Gustava is a woman. Why not set
up an ambush someplace that only
a woman would go? Like the ladies'
restroom...
Over and out.
**********************************************
Kid: The grown-ups always stand at
attention when they hear the
national anthem. It's one of their
weird rules.
**********************************************
Kid: There's only one bathroom here.
It's on the southeast side of this
floor... But I'm too scared to go
there at night...
**********************************************
Kid: If you catch a cold, go to the
infirmary and they'll give you some
medicine.
**********************************************
Kid: There's a bunch of soldier
mannequins in there.
**********************************************
(After finding Gustava in the lady's bathroom)
Snake: Gustava?
Gustava: ...Yes, that's me... I am Gustava
Heffner of STB.
And you must be Solid Snake...
We're after the same thing. Why
don't we work together to save Dr.
Marv?
Snake: Have we met somewhere before?
Gustava: Hm, Typical western man. Always
ready with a pick-up line...
Snake: Now I remember! You're Gustava
Heffner, the Ice Princess. You took
the gold at the Calgary Olympics.
Gustava: ...You must be mistaken.
Snake: I don't think so. I know I've...
Gustava: Enough of this! What about Dr.
Marv?
Snake: I made contact with him over the
radio, but he doesn't speak English.
Gustava: Then he's safe... Good. I'm glad he
had that surgery to implant the
microtransmitter. Snake, lend me
your radio...
Snake: The frequency is 140.51.
Gustava: Tady je Gustava.
Marv: Marv.
Gustava: Pane doktore! Jak se citite?
Marv: Dekuji citim se dobue. Gustava,
Vypadate velmi dobue.
Gustava: Kde jste? Pane doktone?
Marv: Ne severu vezakr je rozsedlina. Za
ni maji koncentrak. Tam jsem.
Gustava: Urcite Vas zachranime.
Marv: Jsem vdecny. Dekuji.
Gustava: Snake, Dr. Marv is safe, for now.
He says there's a large crevice to
the north of the tower building. The
prison is on the other
side.
Dr. Marv also expressed concern
about Dr. Madnar.
Snake: Don't worry. Madnar is safe. Right
now, we have to get Marv out of
there... Got it?
Gustava: I know a shortcut to the crevice.
There's an old sewer running under
here. We can take that elevator
down. Let's go.
Snake: Whoa! There's an elevator there?
What do you know...
**********************************************
(After Snake and Gustava rescue Dr. Madnar)
Dr. Madnar: Oh! ...Gustava! Snake!
Gustava: Doctor, you're all right!
Snake: ...You've lost some weight,
Madnar...
Dr. Madnar: And you haven't changed a bit,
Snake.
Gustava: Snake, we must hurry! Dr. Marv is
Waiting!
Dr. Madnar: You mean Marv is still alive?
I thought I could escape through
this passageway, but the elevator
wouldn't open from the inside.
Snake: Gustava, you and the doctor get
behind me. We're moving out!
Dr. Madnar: No, wait! Snake, I have something
to give you.
I swiped it from a guard... It's card
5.
Gustava: Lead the way, Snake. I'll follow you.
*************************************************
Dr. Madnar: Snake, wait! I can't go on... I must
rest a little...
Gustava: Snake...?
Snake: All right... we'll take a short break.
Dr. Madnar: Please excuse me. I... have some
business to take care of.
(Dr. Madnar walks off screen)
Gustava: ...How odd...
Snake: Give the guy a break. He's an old
man. He can't hold it like he used
to.
Gustava: No, I mean us... A world-renowned
scientist, a former Olympic athlete,
and an ex-special agent, trudging
together through a sewer...
Snake: ...Fate can be funny sometimes.
Gustava: Fate? Yes... perhaps you're
right... You know, when I was a little
girl, my mother used to tell me
stories.
about Poland during World War II...
about the Warsaw uprising. My
mother spent days in the sewers
under the city fleeing from the
Nazis.
her skin and clothes were caked
black with mud... You could not
even see her face... My mother and
I are much alike. We are both
haunted by war.
Snake: ...Gustava, why'd you quit skating
and join STB! You'd think an
Olympic medalist would get the
royal treatment, even in the East.
Gustava: ...Not exactly. It was something
about the ice... It felt... cold.
Snake: The ice...?
Gustava: Snake, are you married?
Snake: ...No, I don't have a family. You?
Gustava: I'm all alone... And it's not because
I like being single, either. Perhaps I
simply never had the chance.
Snake: What about a boyfriend?
Gustava: ...Once... only once... I thought
about getting married. It was back
when I was still skating.
I was deeply, madly in love... It still
hurts to think about it. He was a
Western man. His name was Frank
Hunter.
He was handsome, well-mannered,
intelligent... But always afraid.
I would have thrown it all away for
him. My family, skating,
everything... I would have followed
him anywhere.
Snake: You would have defected?
Gustava: Yes... But it was not to be. The
west rejected my bid for asylum at
the last minute. Some sort of
political reasons... I still don't
understand.
Snake: They probably just didn't have
room for you. It happens all the
time.
Gustava: Ever since, my family and I have
lives a nightmare... We lost our right
to compete, were branded as
refuseniks... I had no choice but to
go into STB.
But I have no regrets. When I was
on the ice, I knew the ice.
Now I know so much more... I've
even killed a man.
Snake: What about him? Did you ever...?
Gustava: I never saw him again... our Berlin
Wall was too high for either of us to
climb.
Dr Madnar: Hello again! Sorry to keep you
waiting.
Snake: That was some bathroom break.
Gustava: ...Let's go, Snake.
**********************************************
Snake: A bridge!!
Gustava: We can only cross it one at a time.
Dr. Madnar: Let me go first. I haven't long
to live anyway. No one will miss me
if I fall.
(Dr. Madnar crosses the bridge)
Dr. Madnar: It's allright! You can come across!
Gustava: OK, I'll go next... See you on the
other side,
(Gustava stops halfway across the bridge)
Gustava: It's safe, Snake! Hurry and cross
over!
(A bomb comes out of nowhere, destroys the bridge, and sends
Gustava flying over to Snake)
Snake: Gustava!!
..Gu... Gustava...
Gustava: ...Ah... Snake...
I knew I couldn't do it... couldn't
find my footing off the ice...
I was always skating around... I
never learned to plant my two feet
on the ground and walk...
Snake: The ice is starting to thaw between
the East and West. Gustava, it's
time to start planting your feet on
the ground... don't give up now...
Gustava: It's too late for me... I've seen
enough people die already to
know... that I'm beyond saving.
...Just my luck. Just when I'd met
someone wonderful again...
Snake: I would have liked to see you skate
again.
Gustava: Th... thank you... Take this... it's
card 6. And this... it's my brooch.
To use it, you...
Snake: How? How do I use it?
Gustava: I... can't... hold on...
...Frank...
(Gustava dies)
Dr. Madnar: Snake!!
SNAKE!!
(Across the bridge, two guards take away Dr. Madnar, and
Metal Gear appears)
Snake: ...Metal Gear?
Gray Fox: Snake!! It's me. Gray Fox!
Snake: Gray... Fox...
Gray Fox: This bridge is closed!! I'm taking
Madnar with me!
Tell you what, Snake. For old times
sake, I'll do you a favor and let you
live, IF you get your sorry carcass
out of here! ...You hear me? Go
home! Now!
Think it over, Snake... Ha ha ha ha!
(Gray Fox leaves)
Snake: Fox! You won't get rid of me that
easily!
CALL
Holly: Snake, you remember the veranda
in the tower building they use for
parachute jump training?
If you have a hang glider, you can
jump from there straight over the
crevice.
There should be a hang glider on
the east side of the 1st floor of the
Zanzibar building.
I saw it once at Thanksgiving...See
ya.

Kid: Gustava's locker is the one in the

Gray Fox: Snake!
Snake! ...It's me, Gray Fox.
Snake: Fox!
Gray Fox: You should have listened to my
warnings, Snake. Now I'm afraid our
friendship is at an end.
That elevator is going to be your
tomb.
Snake: What?!
Gray Fox: Do you hear that sound? That's a
assassination team. They specialize
in confined spaces...
I'm sure you'll put up a good fight.
Snake: The ceiling---!!
Gray Fox: It was nice talking to you one last
time, Snake... Over and out.
Four Horsemen: We are the Four Horsemen, a
top-secret assassination squad.
We get our orders directly from the
President.
Consider this an honor... we only
fry the big fish!
**********************************************
Kid: That veranda was made for
parachute jumps.
But if you had a hang glider... I bet
you could jump even further!

#1 Fan: It's me. Your number one fan. You
can only jump from there when the
wind's blowing north.
It usually blows south, but
sometimes it changes, just for an

That's your chance. Don't miss it.
Keep up the good work.

Let's see whether you're a real
snake or not!
**********************************************
Kid: Know what? At night, they turn off
the power. So all the laser fences
get turned off, too.
Then we get to play inside, as long
as the grown-ups don't catch us.
Kid: I hear owls at night... It's so scary. I
can't sleep.
Kid: They keep the animals in a room
northwest of here.
**********************************************
Kid: There's lots of rats in the jail. They
steal all kinds of things and take
them back to their nests.
The grown-ups put out sulfuric acid
to try and get rid of them.
**********************************************
Kid: I want chocolate! Mister, do you
have a B1 ration?
B1 rations have chocolate in them.
**********************************************
*Boss Fight*
CALL
#1 Fan: It's me... your number one fan.
Snake, watch yourself.
You've got company - Night Fright,
the last surviving member of the
Whispers... You know, the legendary
guerilla unit.
Snake: Night Fright...
#1 Fan: He's wearing a state-of-the-art
camouflage suit that makes him
practically invisible.
Not only that, he'll attack you with
a gun that's completely silent.
No one has ever seen his face. You
know what you have to do, right??
Snake: Lucky me... I've got a fan club.
#1 Fan: Use your ears, Snake! ...Over and
out.
**********************************************
CALL
#1 Fan: You should be able to get card 9
from Jungle Evil!
Snake: Don't you mean card 8? He only
had card 8.
#1 Fan: No, he was in charge of card 8
AND 9.
He must have dropped it
somewhere. Check the area he was
in! The card should be there. Keep
up the good work.
**********************************************
(After Snake finds Dr. Madnar and Dr. Marv)
Dr. Madnar: Ah! ...Snake, you're too late. He's
already passed away.
His heart couldn't take it anymore.
Snake: Wait... what's that bruise on his
neck?!
Dr. Madnar: Not to worry, Snake. Marv may be
dead, but the plans for OILIX are
safe.
Marv was a very clever man. He
left behind a copy of the plans in
case of emergency.
He had a reputation as a video
game enthusiast. He even used to
have them shipped to him from the
West every month.
A few days ago, he hid some
microfilm in the circuit of one
of his game cartridges.
It was an MSX cartridge, made by a
Japanese company called Konami.
Snake: MSX... That's the world's
best selling brand of computer, isn't
it?
Dr. Madnar: The he hid the cartridge inside
that locker.
Snake: Where's the key?
Dr. Madnar: I don't know... I could never get it out
of him. I mean... He never told me!
CALL
Holly: Snake! You're in danger!!
Snake: Holly! What's wrong!
Holly: Snake, it's Madnar... I thought there
was something strange about him,
so I had the agency check him out.
After he was rescued from Outer
Heaven... apparently things didn't
go well for him.
Holly: His radical theories were rejected in
the West.
He was dismissed as a madman
and shut out from the scientific
community. And as time went on...
he was forgotten.
Madnar wasn't exactly happy with
the scientific community, either. He
must have been searching for some
to get back at them.
That's when Zanzibar Land talked
him into becoming a double agent.
He'd use his status as a scientist to
feed technological secrets from
East and West to Zanzibar Land...
Snake: And, Dr. Marv's disappearance...?
Holly: Right. The timing is too perfect.
Madnar must have given them
every detail of Marv's itinerary in
the U.S.
Snake: Madnar was after OILEX all along.
That's why he wanted to go to
America with Marv.
Dr. Madnar: I'm afraid you've got me, Snake.
I gave up everything to be a part of
your world... Even the country I was
born and raised in...
But your world had nothing but
contempt and abuse for me.
I just wanted... to finish Metal Gear!
It is the culmination of all my life's
work in robotology.
But your politicians were only
interested in nonsense like SDI,
NEDW, and brain bombs!
I passed on the scientific secrets of
the East and the West to Zanzibar
Land...
And in return, they aided me in my
efforts to improve Metal Gear.
Snake: Madnar, did you kill Dr. Marv?
Dr. Madnar: ...Yes! He would not share the
secret of OILIX with me!
And it was I who caused Gustava's
death on the bridge by contacting
Fox from the sewer!
Snake: The bathroom break...!
Dr. Madnar: Snake, I know Marv - no, Gustava
- gave you the key to the locker!
Give it to me!!
(After Snake returns with the key for the locker and
retrieves the Cartridge from it)
Dr. Madnar: S... Snake...
Snake... he'll never let you get
away.
He'll use it... he'll use Metal Gear.
I have one last gift... for my
daughter Ellen...
I'll tell you how to destroy it.
Snake: How to destroy Metal
Gear?
Dr. Madnar: Try as I might, I could not reconcile
East and West in my heart of
hearts.
But Ellen is different. Snake... you
must do this for Ellen, the daughter I
left behind.
Snake: How do I destroy Metal Gear?
Dr. Madnar: The armor is thinnest on the legs...
use grenades on the legs. It is the
only way...
(A hole opens beneath Snake and he falls down it)
Gray Fox: The final delusions of a senile old
man. There's no way to destroy
this Metal Gear, Snake!
Snake: Fox!! ...Where are you?
Gray Fox: Come and find out, Snake. Go
through the front door?
**********************************************
*Boss Fight*
(Snake goes through the front door and finds
Metal Gear piloted by Gray Fox)
Gray Fox: Snake... I'm not the same as I used
to be. And neither is Metal Gear.
I'll show you what fear really is.
Prepare to taste defeat!
(Snake destroys Metal Gear)
Gray Fox: The cartridge is mine, Snake!
...Burn in hell!
(Gray Fox runs off)
CALL
Campbell: Snake! Your items are on fire!
Throw away all your weapons and
equipment! Quickly! Use the O
button!
**********************************************
*Boss Fight*
(Snake drops all his equipment
then runs after Gray Fox)
Snake: Where am I?
Gray Fox: The perfect ring for our final battle.
It's been a while, Snake... Here we
are, back in the minefield... What
say we go at it hand to hand!
Snake: A chicken fight!
Gray Fox: The two greatest rivals in
FOXHOUND... I've been waiting for
this moment for a long time.
Snake: Fox!
I'll beat some sense into you!
Gray Fox: Snake!
It's time for you to learn why they
call me Fox!
CALL
Kasler: Gray Fox... Real name, Frank
Jaeger. Former member of
FOXHOUND.
He was the last man to hold the
title of Fox in the Big Boss era.
Decorated fives times...
Snake: Yeah, I know all about how good
he is... Better than anyone else. I
fought with him.
He's a cold-blooded hunter. He
never let's his prey escape.
Everybody in the unit respected
him. Looked up to him.
Kasler: That may be, Snake... but do you
know about his past? It might help
you out...
10 years ago, we in the mercenary
trade knew him as Hunter. That's
what Jaeger means in German.
Back then, he was involved with
some woman from the Eastern
bloc.
He tried to get her to come over
the fence, but it fell through.
Apparently the West wasn't
interested in taking her. That's
when Frank started to hate the
politicos.
Snake: What was the woman's name?
Kasler: She was an Olympic skater. Name
was Gustava Heffner... Real fine
woman. Movie-star type.
Snake: G... Gustava...Heffner?!
Kasler: Snake! If you mange to beat Fox..
I'll tell everyone that Solid Snake is
the greatest mercenary in the world.
...Over and out.
(Snake defeats Gray Fox)
Gray Fox: Snake...
Looks like it's finally time for me to
give up the title of "Fox".
Snake: Fox... why?
Gray Fox: I'm not like you, Snake... My
situation is more... complicated.
Big Boss might have been just
another CO to you, but he saved
my life - twice. This was way before
I joined the unit.
The first time, I was half-white
living in Vietnam... It was after the
war, and half-whites were being
sent into forced labor
camps.
He saved me from that living hell.
Just like he saved all the children
here...
The second time was in
Mozambique. I was being tortured
as a RENAMO soldier, and he
saved me again. They'd cut off my
ears and my nose...
Snake: And this is your idea of paying him
back?!
Gray Fox: No, you've got it wrong. I hate war.
Just like all the kids here. But... I
need it.
War is all we know. We can't make
it in the normal world. We need the
battlefield to survive.
Big Boss gives us a place to fight.
Conflict is on our blood. We can't
deny it.
I was born on the battlefield... And
I'll die on the battlefield. All I can
do is fight, Snake... all I can do is
fight.
Making people happy... making a
woman happy... is something I
could never do.
Snake: You mean...
Gray Fox: Guess I was always fated to die in
action.
Snake: Rest easy, Fox. I swear I won't turn
out like you.
Gray Fox: Won't turn out like me... I'll have to
remember that. ...Fight hard, Snake.
...Don't let your fans down.
Snake: My fans?! ...It was you, wasn't it?
...You were the voice on the radio!
Gray Fox: Call it payback for being so selfish...
See you on the other side, Snake.
Snake: You won't be alone, Frank. Gustava
is waiting for you.
Gray Fox: ...Gustava...
...Thank you... Snake...
(Gray Fox dies and leaves behind the cartridge)
************************************************
*Boss Fight*
(Right after the battle with Gray Fox,
a voice calls Snake)
Over here, Snake!
Over here, Snake!
(Snake follows the voice)
Snake: Big Boss... you're alive?!
Big Boss: Snake...
Welcome to Zanzibar Land... I knew
you'd come back to me.
Snake: I came to get rid of the nightmares
I've been having for the past three
years.
Big Boss: The nightmares? They never go
away, Snake. Once you've been on
the battlefield, tasted the
exhilaration, the tension... it all
becomes part of you.
Once you've awakened the warrior
within... it never sleeps again. You
crave even bigger tensions, ever
bigger thrills.
As a mercenary, I'd think you would
have realized that by now.
You care nothing for power, or
money, or even sex. The only thing
that satisfies your cravings... is
WAR!
All I've done is give you a place for
it. I've given you a reason to live.
Snake: I would never have made you for
such a hypocrite, Big Boss...
Big Boss: You saw those children, didn't
you? Every one is a victim of a war
somewhere of the world. And they'll
make fine soldiers in the next
war.
Start a war, for its flames, create
victims... Then save them, train
them... And feed them back onto
the battlefield.
It's a perfectly logical system. In
this world of ours, conflict never
ends. And neither does our
purpose... our raison
d'etre.
Snake: So there's plenty of job
opportunities... Is that what you're
trying to say?
Big Boss: On the battlefield, you and I are
valuable commodities. But back
"home", we're nothing but dead
weight.
If we're lucky, we might get the
attention of some two-bit journalist
from a cheap tabloid.
You and I are doomed to remain
here until we die like dogs on the
battlefield.
Snake: ...I've only got one fight left. To
free myself from your grip, to rid
myself of these nightmares... Big
Boss, I will defeat you!
Big Boss: It doesn't matter who wins here.
Our fight will continue. The loser will
be liberated from the battlefield,
and the survivor will live out the
rest of his days as a soldier.
Snake: It doesn't have to be that way. I'm
not like you. I love life!
Big Boss: Very well, Snake. I'll release you
from your suffering. As your former
commander, I'll do you one last
favor... and put you out of your
misery.
Snake: I don't need any more favors from
you!
Big Boss: Really?...
And just how do you expect to beat
me in your condition? With no
weapon?
Snake: Never give up. Fight until the end.
Always believe you will succeed,
even when the odds are against
you. ...Those are your words.
Big Boss: Even I make mistakes from time to
time.
Snake!
This will be our final battle... Let's
end this once and for all!
(Snake sets Big Boss on fire using a lighter
and a spray can)
Big Boss: Snake!!
It's not over yet...
It's not... over... yet...
It's not... over... yet...
Snake sn... a...
(Big Boss dies)
************************************************
(A Guard comes up from behind Snake)
Guard: Freeze!
Holly: It's OK! It's ME, Snake.
Snake: Holly?!
Holly: Did I scare you?
Snake: Whew... that was a close one. So...
what's going on? What are you
doing here?
Holly: You said it yourself. Stay alive, and
we'll meet again sometime.
Snake: ...So I did.
Holly: Ugh... that uniform was too tight in
the chest... Ahh, I feel much better
now.
Here, I stole this gun from the
enemy. You can have it.
Snake: Yeah... I can see how it'd be hard
for a woman to use. Thanks.
Holly: ...So it's all over now. Right,
Snake?
Snake: No... I still have one more job to
do.
Holly: ...You can't be serious...
Snake: I'm dead serious, Holly.
Holly: Snake... no, you can't...
Snake: ...Heh heh heh. ...You want me to
call you a cab?
Holly: ...Oh my god... That wasn't funny,
Snake!
Snake: This is Snake. Come in, Charlie.
Pilot: This is Charlie. Go ahead, Snake...
Snake: I've got the cartridge. I'm ready to
return to base. Making my way to
the rendezvous point now!
Pilot: Roger that. I'll meet you there.
...Any passengers?
Snake: ...Just one. Blond, with a cute face.
Pilot: Sounds like a dream... Over and
out.
Snake: Holly, we've got to run as fast as
we can to the rendezvous point.
Think you can keep up?
Holly: ...Is that a proposition, Snake?
Snake: I'll take that as a yes.
**********************************************
(Snake and Holly reach the rendezvous point)
Snake: What the hell is taking you so
long? We're going to be here till
Christmas?
Pilot: This is Charlie. I'm 10 kilometers
from the rendezvous point.
Hold tight a little bit longer! Over
and out...
Snake: Hurry!!
**********************************************
Snake: Damn it!! I'm out of ammo!
Holly: Snake!!
(Snake and Holly are surrounded by enemies)
(The chopper arrives and shoots all the enemies)
Holly: It's the chopper... we're saved!
Snake: Charlie... you're late!
Pilot: Sorry, man. I didn't want to interrupt
you two lovebirds.
Snake: Think we'll be home in time for
Christmas?
Holly: We'll be home in time for dinner,
Snake.
Snake: Let's go, then...
I'm really looking forward to Christmas
dinner.
I'm sick of these rations.
