Peace Amongst men living alongside one
another is not a natural state.
On the contrary, the natural state of man
is that of war.
War manifested not only by open hostilities,
but also by the constant threat of hostility.
Peace, therefore, is a state that must be
established by law.
- Immanuel Kant, "Perpetual Peace" Chapter 2

The year was 1964.
The world was firmly in the grip of the Cold
War, divided into East and West.
One of America's heroes had defected to the
Soviet Union.
She was known as "The Boss," the mother of
the special forces, and the soldier said to
have led the Allies to victory in World
War II.
However, the American-made miniature nuclear
warhead she took with her was used to
destroy a Soviet research facility.
Facing full-scale nuclear war, the leaders
of the world's superpowers held top-secret
talks to avert Armageddon.
The Soviet Union wanted assurance that this
was not the work of Uncle Sam.
They wanted America to eliminate one of its
most legendary soldiers, The Boss.
The person assigned this mission was her
closest apprentice, the soldier known
as "Snake."
Snake made the anguished journey into enemy
territory, eventually confronting and
killing The Boss at a fortress called
Groznjy Grad, proving America's innocence
and avoiding nuclear holocaust.
Having saved the world, Snake was hailed a
true hero and given the title "Big Boss."
Following the award ceremony, however, Snake
disappeared.

November 4. 1974 15:42
Barranquilla Coast, Colombia
[A motorcycle stops alongside a cabin overlooking
a beach. The driver of the bike is non other than
Naked Snake the hero of Operation Snake Eater.
Snake decends to the beach passing a sign post
that reads Militaires San Frontieres (An Army
Without Borders). On the beach several of Snakes
soldiers are sparring one notices their COs
approach and goes to greet him.]
Soldier Boss!
[After accepting the sparring offer the game goes
into a tutorial of combat scenarios; the sparring
ends when a jeep drives onto the beach. The driver
is Snake's 2nd in command.]
Miller Snake!
Snake What's going on, Kaz?
Miller We've got Guests.
Snake Time to Move?
Miller Don't worry. It's not our friends
from Langly.
I brought 'em. Made sure we weren't
followed.
Soldier Thank you, Big Boss!
Snake Call me Snake.
Soldier Oh, uh, sorry... Vic Boss!
Snake Listen up. For us, there is no
victory.
Soldier But in revolution, doesn't one
triumph or die?
Snake We don't do either.
[Inside the cabin, Miller hands Galvez a cup of
coffee before he and Snake ask questions.]
Miller Here.
Gálvez Thank you.
[Galvez places the cup down after drinking.]
Gálvez I feel like a new man! There's no
coffee like Costa Rican coffee.
Snake So, what brings a distinguished
scholar from the Costa Rican
government to Colombia?
Miller Professor Galvez comes from Costa
Rica's University for Peace.
Gálvez You see, over the past year, there
have been sightings of an armed
group in Costa Rica. They're not
ours, of course.
Miller Costa Rica doesn't have an army.
Gálvez Correct. Article 12 of our
Constitution states that "The
Army as a permanent institution
is abolished."
Paz The peace constitution...
Snake You think it's rebels who've fled
Nicaragua?
Gálvez No no... They don't appear to be
guerillas. They're far too organized.
Snake What's your government's take?
[Galvez slams his cup onto the table in anger.]
Gálvez The authorities in San Jose claim
it's a multinational security firm
hired by the Development Corporation
of Costa Rica (CODESA).
Lies, obviously.
They're bringing in state-of-the-art
weaponry and equipment by the
shipload.
Snake Where'd they get that kind of cash?
Gálvez ...I fear LA CIA may be involved.
Miller The CIA?
Gálvez As you both know, the United States
views Central America as its
backyard...
Even after Cuba, we've managed to
maintain a delicate balance with
the U.S.
Snake And your government can't just give
'em the boot?
Paz We are not allowed to bear arms.
Miller Japan's Constitution has something
similar: Article 9. It says Japan
renounces war, and can't maintain
an army.
Gálvez I understand that you and your men
have neither state nor ideology -
that you will fight any foe.
Please, you must drive them out
of our defenseless country. We
come to you. The Militaires San
Frontieres (An Army Without
Borders).
Miller So, you want to hire us?
Gálvez Yes. As our deterrent.
We can't afford to pay much, it's
true. But... we can offer you
this - a forward operating base -
an offshore plant in the Caribbean.
Snake ...
Miller Sounds pretty good to me. This place
is becoming a mess anyway.
Snake, we need someplace we can
settle down.
Gálvez The Government's agreed to cooperate -
unofficially, of course.
Miller A Chopper for transport'd be nice,
too.
Gálvez ... I'll see what I can do.
Snake Hold it! You seem to think we're just
a pack of "Dogs of War." Is that right?
Gálvez Yes, that's what I've heard. You're an
army without a state...
Snake No... We've only left our countries
behind.
Gálvez Please! You must help us!
Snake If your suspicions are true, force
isn't gonna do any good. You'll have
to find a political solution.
Gálvez The government's hands are tied!
Snake Go back to your bosses in San Jose.
Tell them if they want, I'll
introduce them to a negotiator
I know.
Gálvez No. I'm not here on their behalf.
Snake So what are you doing here?
Gálvez For over twenty years, I've
preached the virtues peace at
multiple Universities. Tonight,
I stand before you as an educator.
This is my student. She came to
me to study peace.
Her name is Paz, ... Paz Ortega.
Snake Paz...? "Peace?"
Miller No kidding?
That's my name, too.
Kazuhira - it's Japanese for
"Peace."
Pleased to meet you, Paz.
Call me Kaz.
Gálvez They've got a supply port North
of Puerto Limon. A Town En La
Costa Del Marcaribe. A few days
ago, Paz stumbled upon that facility
searching for a lost friend. She was
captured.
She's only a child... sixteen years
old. They did... terrible things to
her. But somehow she managed to
escape.
Miller My god...
Gálvez She's huerfana. Her mother died when
she was small, and she lost her
grandparents in the civil war. She
hates war with a passion like no
other.
Paz My name is Paz, and I will do
anything to protect my namesake. It
is my one and only purpose.
Please... get them out of my
country... Make them leave Costa
Rica.
Snake Sorry, Kid....
Gálvez We know who you are, Big Boss.
That is why we've come to you.

PROLOGUE: AN ARMY WITHOUT BORDERS
November 10, 1974
Caribbean Coast, Costa Rica
{Playa De Alba}
Miller (Radio) Miller here. Do you copy, Snake?
I see you've Landed. That makes
one giant leap for us. I'm sending
this from the offshore plant -
our Mother Base.
The signal is unidirectional. I'll
be giving you commands and advice
through this channel. Keep your
headphones on at all times and pay
attention. Also, make sure no one
else can listen in.
Miller (Radio) I gotta thank you for agreeing to
this, Snake. Man... am I glad to be
out here. Finally, we can leave all
that crap in San Hieronymo behind...
And break into the mercenary
business for real.
Let me guess. You're doing it for
her, aren't you?

November 4. 1974 20:31
Barranquilla Coast, Colombia
[Miller stares out the window at "their guests"
while Snake fails to light his cigar.]
Snake Are they still here?
Miller C'mon, Snake. This could be good
for us. They're willing to give
us an offshore plant - a place we
can finally put down some roots.
This is our chance to expand MSF.
Snake We don't need a place to stay, Kaz.
We're Nomads. We always will be.
Miller What, you'd rather keep wandering
from conflict to conflict, tools
in the hands of whoever's fighting
at the time?
Snake The second we settle down, who's
to say we won't become the
warmongers?
Miller Listen to me, Snake. We're not
Mercenaries. We're not a Foreign
Legion. MSF's a business. A new
kind of business.
Look, it's not like we're trying
to start a war here. All we need
to do is find out who this
"Security Company" really is.
Snake C'mon, Kaz... It's pretty obvious
that they're backed by the CIA.
Miller Wait a sec. That would mean...
Snake Our friend the "Professor"... is
likely KGB.
Miller I see...
Snake ... We'd be making an enemy of our
homeland.
Miller And there'd be no turning back...
Snake ... This damned thing won't light.
Miller Huh?
Snake Put on some coffee, Kaz. It's time
for a little chat with the
"Professor."
[The door opens Paz enters the cabin first while
Galvez stops at the door and takes notice of Snakes
lighter problem. Galvez thumb opens up to reveal a
lighter he lets Snake use to light his cigar.]
Gálvez I was a heavy smoker. When I got my
medal from The Secretary - General,
he gave me this prosthetic hand
as well... But smoking was ruining
my lungs, so I quit. I've not had
much use for it since.
It's quite an honor to meet The
Legendary Big Boss.
Snake That's just a code name the CIA made
up.
Gálvez Then perhaps I should call you John?
Snake I don't have a name. Stopped using
that code name you like so much ten
years ago.
... What about you, Comrade? What do
they call you back at TSENTR?
Gálvez Well, then, allow me to get straight
to the point. "Land as Slim as a Whip,
Hot as Torture."
Miller That's the Chilean poet, Neruda...
Gálvez Central America is the navel of the
American Continents, bridging North
and South. We want this land.
We'll build a socialist stronghold.
Then use it split the Americas in
two.
Miller America would lose its backyard.
Gálvez And with it, its iconomic production,
shipping lanes, and strategic value.
We. On the other hand, would gain a
base from which all of Latin America
would be well within our reach. He
who control's Central America, will
win this Cold War.
First comes Nicaragua. Toppling the
Pro-American Somoza regime. In
preparation. We've begun instigating
anti-government sentiment and
providing aid to The Sandinista
National Liberation Front.
Miller You're manipulating Sandinista into
overthrowing Somoza for you.
Gálvez After the revolution Nicaragua will
become a socialist state.
Snake You think the Americans would just
let that happen?
Gálvez Certainly not. After all, the CIA
is allready here.
Miller And that's the armed group inside
Costa Rica?
Gálvez Precisely. It's clear they have been
sent in to disrupt our efforts across
the border in Nicaragua. Simply put,
the army now stationed in Costa Rica
is CIA Capital. But it's more complex
than that. The CIA's got something
else planned as well.
Miller What?
Gálvez That is the million dollar question.
We want you and your unit to find
the answer. Infiltrate and invistigate
the facility En la Costa where Paz
was imprisoned. Learn all you can of
their operations then drive them out
of the country.
Snake You're asking us to settle a turf war
between the KGB and The CIA?
Miller ... What about her? That was all just
an act?
Gálvez Hmm. You mean her words about Peace?
She was captured - that much is true.
But I've kept my KGB affiliation from
her.
Miller And you thought we'd fall for a sob
story?
Gálvez No, I had good reason to bring her
along. She managed to escape with her
life. But her friend was not so lucky.
Why were they attacked?
[Galvez pulls a cassette tape out from inside his
coat.]
Gálvez I believe this will help explain.
Perhaps they saw something they
weren't supposed to.
Perhaps they heard something they
shouldn't have.
Miller A Cassette Tape?
Gálvez Paz took this during her escape. She
says her friend happened to record
it by accident.
[Galvez puts a Sony walkman on the table next to a
speaker to amplify the audio.]
Miller What is that?
Gálvez A portable stereo cassette player.
The first of its kind.
Miller Ah. I heard they were working on
something like that in Japan. Didn't
know you guys were too.
Gálvez I believe what you're about to hear
will help you understand.
Miller What is that? A Quetzal?
Snake The Phoenix bird?
Gálvez Paz's friend was researching birds.
She went out into the jungle to
record bird calls and stumbled onto
this.
Miller So? So what?!
Gálvez Now it gets interesting.
[Female 1] ...Poisonous... I.... To get red of
it. I chase it back to its nest.
[Female 2] You can't. The snake's too vicious.
It's... Many People.
[Female 1] ... I chase it away.
It will bite you unless you kill it.
GO HOME!
Snake Boss.
Gálvez Voiceprint analysis confirms that
this voice is indeed that of the
Legendary Hero - and criminal -
The Boss.
Miller Wh... What?!
Gálvez The other hasn't been identified.
Female in her thirties with a british
accent. The song playing in the
background was a hit in 1973.
[Flashback to Operation Snake Eater.]
The Boss What's it going to be? Loyalty to
your country or loyalty to me? Your
country or your mentor? Your
mission or your beliefs?
I... I am loyal to myself.
Snake ... The Boss is alive in Costa Rica?
Gálvez As I understand it, she was your
commander, fought by your side...
And that you killed her under orders
from The CIA... Thus surpassing
her to become the hero known as
Big Boss.
Gálvez Well?
What'll it be? Will you take the
job?
Miller Snake. It's gotta be a trap.
Gálvez So. You still can't turn your back
on your country... Then I suppose
you won't need this...
Snake Wait!
Miller Snake?
Snake I'll do it for the girl. For Paz.
Miller Ok... For Peace then.

Bosque Del Alba, Caribbean Coast of Costa Rica
{Bosque Del Alba}
Miller (Radio) There they are... CIA mercs.
Snake, you've got to get
past them undetected. Avoid
combat whenever possible.
Miller (Radio) This is a sneaking mission. Hide
behind stuff, take the long way
around, whatever it takes to
stay out of sight. Your gun is a
last resort. It could just as
easily kill you as save you.
Miller (Radio) The indicator in the upper right
serves as a compass, and shows
sound sources. Pay attention to
your surroundings.
Miller (Radio) To check your map, press the
START button to open the menu.
Miller (Radio) The percentage in the upper right
is your camo index. The lower the
number, the more easily you'll be
spotted.
Conspicuous movements and loud
noises will compromise your camo
index. Your fatigues will act as
camouflage.
Miller (Radio) Keep your eye on what's left of
your LIFE gauge on the left of
the screen. To the right of that,
you'll see your Psyche Gauge.
Exhausting it will inhibit your
actions.
{Puerto Del Alba - CIA Supply Facility}
Miller (Radio) Looks like you're inside the
compound. Security is tight. Stay
sharp

[PA] Acknowledged.
Chrysalis Proceeding to secure target five
hundred...
[PA] Spears are loaded, the barge has
cleared Point Bravo.
CIA Merc Acknowledged. Out.
Snake ... Freeeze!
The cargo. Where's it headed?
What is it?!
CIA Merc Urk... Irazu... In the mountains...
Snake What's up there?
Snake This is Snake, Kaz. Can you hear me?
Miller Loud and Clear. You found a radio?!
Snake It's got a circuit that reverses the
audio phage.
Miller Let's switch frequencies from time
to time - Just to make sure we're
not detected.
Snake I found a map of their bases. The
cargo's heading from the marshes
west toward Irazu.
Miller Nice going Boss.
Snake Kaz...
This place is full of film badges.
Dozens of them.
Miller ... Film badges like the ones used
to measure radiation exposure?
Snake The radio man was wearing one. And
whoever he was talking to called
the cargo "Spears."
Miller Wait, that would mean...
Snake Nukes. They're bringing Nukes into
Costa Rica.
Miller Holy Mother of God...
[Main Title]
METAL GEAR SOLID PEACE WALKER
[Codec]
Miller How's that map, Snake? Think you
can use it?
Snake It tells me where their bases are,
but its just a bunch of points. No
routes. I need better intel on the
lay of the land.
Miller Snake the "professor" said he's
got the Sandinistas on his side.
Said you should get in touch with
the FSLN comandante.
Snake Do they know they're backed by KGB?
Miller Nah... As far as they know they're
really fighting for the revolution.
The KGB is staying behind the scenes.
I'm not sure the Sandinistas are
aware of what's really going on.
Snake Still can't believe anybody'd bring
nukes here...
Miller Yeah, that's a shocker. Costa Rica's
party to the Tlatelolco Treaty, which
declares Latin America a nuke-free
zone. Based on Japan's Three Non-Nuclear
Principles, it bans the testing, use,
import, or deployment of nuclear
weapons.
If word of this gets out, OPANAL will
be forced to act. It'll cause an
international uproar.
Snake The Treaty was signed to prevent
another Cuban Missile Crisis. If the
U.S. itself is going to scrap it...
Miller Latin America's too close to spawning
another Cuba or two already. The entire
continent would become one big powder
keg.
Snake Well... If they did bring nukes, we
can't let them get away with it.
Miller Are they planning a test? Showing off?
Or is it all to keep the anti-American
movement in check?
Snake Good Question. Why bring them here? I
can't figure it out.
Miller Whatever the CIA's up to in Costa Rica,
the "professor" wants it stopped. We
need to find out what that something is.
Snake We need to get ready first, Kaz. Repairs?
Miller Working as fast as we can, Boss. This
place is pretty beat... It looks like
hell. But as long as you're with us,
we'll make it heaven. No one can bother
us here. No state telling us what to do.
This is the MSF's haven, our Mother Base.
And with this foothold, we'll back you up
even better than before. We're gonna
turn this pile of junk into something big.

CHAPTER 1: A COUNTRY WITHOUT AN ARMY
{El Cenagal: Jungle}
Miller (Radio) Head for the FSLN boathouse.
It's northwest of there.
{Rio Del Jade}
Miller (Radio) The boathouse should be close by.
Neutralize the security detail and
make contact with the comandante.
Miller (Radio) Good. Now, meet with the FSLN
comandante. He's inside the
boathouse.

Snake Sandinistas right? I'm looking for
someone.
[Snake holds out a photo of the FSNL comandante.]
Chico Mi Viejo...
Amanda Shhh... He's Dead.
They killed Nuestro Viejo.
Snake You're his daughter? Then that makes
you his Delegada right?
Relax. I'm not your enemy. Want one?
It's Cuban.
Chico Hmph. A Cigar...?
Amanda I'll take whatever you've got.
Amanda I owe you one. But, I prefer cigarettes
you know. How do I look? A little like
El Che. No? You Cubano?
Snake Colombiano. A photographer I came to
Costa Rica to take pictures of birds.
Amanda Birds?
Snake Quetzals.
Amanda You've got no telephoto lens. How do
you get your shots?
Snake Telephoto's for amateurs. It's all in
the timing.
Amanda Oh. Ok. We can talk until, I finish
this.
[While talking Chico tries to grab the Cigar from her hand.]
Amanda Chico!
Snake Tell me what's going on here.
Amanda This place is crawling with soldiers.
They don't look like private security
more like hired guns.
They're loaded with the latest gear
from all over the world.
Snake I heard they're a security force hired
by Codesa.
Amanda Yeah, and I'm Papa Noel.. Those guys
are UCLAS.
Snake UCLAS... La CIA?
Amanda I saw them setting up shop in town.
They're planning to do here what they
did in Chile.
Snake If that's the case, what are they
after?
Amanda Whatever it is, it's not us...
Snake You don't think they're here to push
you back into Nicaragua?
Amanda Impossible. Too much hardware too
many bases. Didn't you see? They've got
helicopters,tanks... It's like we're in
Da Nang. There must be something else.
Snake They have a base near here?
Amanda There's a factory to the North, across a
suspention bridge.
Snake Factory to the North across a bridge.
Have you seen a big transport boat -
mercenary crew - on the Rio Del Jade?
Amanda You mean the barge? It's upstream from
here. Up toward Irazu.
Snake Any idea what's on it?
Amanda I could introduce you to some compas of
ours up there. But I don't recommend
going into the mountains, we've lost a
lot of people there.
They take us captive. Torture us for
information about our compas and then
they kill us like pigs.
[While Snake and Amanda talk the FSLN soldiers get the
weapons they had hidden in the boathouse before being
caught.]
Amanda ... This was our last hideout... The
final refuge for El Frente after being
pushed out of Nicaragua and into the
"peaceful paradise" of Costa Rica.
Then El Monstruo attacked...
Snake A Monster?
Amanda Y Mi Viejo... Mi Viejo - Papa... He was
La Esperanza - our hope.
Chico Now that papa's gone, my sister is La
Commandante De La Revoluchon.
Amanda Don't listen to him. Papa was a hero
who faught by Sandino's side. I am only
his daughter.
You need a special talent to become
cacique. It takes someone great to unite
all of Las Compas.
Snake Sorry to interupt, but leaders don't
choose themselves. Neither do heroes.
You carry on his legacy of La Esperanza,
and they'll follow you no question.
Amanda You think so? My compas trust me, but
not one of them calls me Comandante.
Soldier Amanda.
Amanda See what I mean.
Chico El Colibri!
[Snakes lunges at Amanda saving her from being gunned
down by the Chrysalis.]
Snake Get Down!
[Snakes fires at the UV System but it dodges the attack.]
Snake What the hell?!
Amanda I's Un Hombre Nueyo. An unmanned weapon
a robot!
[One of Chrysalis drones capture Chico.]
Amanda Chico!
Snake No! He won't survive the fall!
Amanda Out of my way! Better to die at the
hand of a compas than suffer their
torture. Stay here. As long as I'm
still alive, I might as well repay
you.
Over here! Find Chico!
Ivenceremos!
[Codec]
Miller Snake, what was that thing?!
Snake Whatever it was, it looked unmanned.
Miller Unmanned? I'd heard rumors, but an
operational unit...?
Snake What the hell is going on here?
Miller Not to quote Amanda, but the hardware
they've got here isn't just unusual,
it's overkill.
Which means one thing: it's nukes. So
the question now becomes, why?
Snake We can't make that call yet. We need
more intel.
Miller How? Our source is dead.
Snake But his daughter isn't.
Miller Good thinking. We can follow her...
Head for that next outpost, and make
contact with Amanda... if she's still
alive.
Snake Roger.
[Rio Del Jade]
Miller (Radio) Careful. They've got reinforcements
coming.
{El Cenagal: Jungle}
Paz (Radio) Are you familiar with leafcutter ants,
Snake? They help mushrooms grow.
We have them in Costa Rica.
The mushrooms provide the ants with
spores to eat, and in exchange the
ants protect them from predators.
Miller (Radio) Kind of like us, huh?
Paz (Radio) That's not why I brought it up...
{El Cenagal: Ravine}
Miller (Radio) Amanda went across that rope bridge.
Hurry.
Paz (Radio) Amanda should be at the supply depot
on the banana plantation.
Miller (Radio) You might be able to get past the
enemy by hanging from the bridge.
Press the Action Button near the
bridge's handrail to hang.
{Bananal Fruta de Oro: Sorting Shed}
Miller (Radio) Careful, now. they might be holding
FSLN soldiers prisoner.
Miller (Radio) You're gonna have to pass through the
sorting area to get to the other
side...
Paz (Radio) See any Orange-barred Sulpher
butterflies around? You'll find them
in parks and even in cities, too.
Miller (Radio) Our future is in your hands!
Paz(Radio) Snake, help us reclaim peace.
[Snake emerges, on the other side of the factory;

with ground support appear.]
Miller (Radio) Looks like there's no way around 'em.

[Snake takes out the UAV drone; Amanda hits the
ground hard.]
Snake Amanda!
Amanda Chico...
Snake What?
What is it?
Amanda Can you...
Roll me one?
Snake Huh?
Amanda Tobacoo...
Snake Yeah.
Amanda Chico...
Snake Hold Still.
Amanda I treated him like a kid again... we
fought.
Snake Hmm?
Amanda I didn't want Chico to know... Kept
it a secret. Somoza's guards chased
us out of Nicaragua Across the Rio
San Juan... And we ended up here.
The only reason we've been able to
keep on fighting...
Snake Amanda!
Amanda The factory... You saw it?
Snake The banana factory...
Amanda A front. It's a drug refining plant.
The KGB set it up for us to run. We
use the income to buy food and
weapons... Mi Viejo never said a
word but we all knew.
Everything we have... Our weapons,
Our compas... He brought it all
together... We were going to rebuild
our country... Rebuild Nica with our
own hands... Even if we had to dirty
our hands to do it...
But it's all over. We lost our Cacique,
Papa... I could never replace him...
Now they've taken the plant from us,
too... There's no place left to
regroup... No way to fight La
Revoluchion...
Snake Here... I rolled you one.
Amanda What about you? You're going after
that cargo?
Snake Yeah.
Amanda Must be important, mmm?
Snake Looks that way, looks like it could be
nukes...
Amanda Wha-? Nukes?!
Imadre De Dios! No time to waste! We
must get to Irazu! The transport route
leads there. It must be where they're
holding Chico and my compas. Too...
[Amanda struggles to sit up.]
Amanda Whenever Chico and I argue, he goes off
to be by himself... That's why he knows
more then anybody about their bases.
He... Oh, Chico...
Snake You're pretty worried about your baby
brother.
Amanda This is why I'm not fit to be a
leader...
Snake Fine. It's a little bit out of my way
but... Just tell me where I need to
go.
Amanda There's a prison up in the mountains...
That's probably where he is.
Snake A prison in the mountains...
Amanda You must do something for me. If you...
Can't save Chico, I want you to...
Ease his pain... End his humiliation...
If he gives in. If he's about to sell
out his compas... Please...
... At least let him keep his honor.
Snake That's a promise I can't make.
Amanda ... Why?
Snake Amanda, we gave up our homes. But we're
still alive. We're still fighting. And
there's always another reason to keep
on living.
Amanda Ahh, I feel alive again...
Snake Amanda. Join my unit until you've healed
up.
Amanda Your... Unit? Who are you? Why are you
here?
Snake ... I'm Snake. Serpiente.
Amanda Snake? Could it be...
The Great Cacique...
Has come to lead us...
Patria Libre O Morir...
Snake Kaz.
Can you hear me?
Miller MSF here.
Snake One for recovery, she's wounded.
Miller Acknowledged.
Snake Kaz.
The Cargo on the barge... I was right,
it's headed for the mountains.
Miller You think that's where they're taking
the nukes?
Snake I'm Sure of it. Let's Move.
{Camino de Lava: Hillside}
Miller (Radio) Chico's in a prison camp north of here.
Miller (Radio) We've gotta save Chico, Snake. It's to
our benefit, you know.
Miller (Radio) Head north if you want to find Chico.
Amanda (Radio) They're using that village as a prison
now.
Amanda (Radio) Boss, please... You have to help Chico.
Miller (Radio) That basin will leave you completely
exposed. If I were the enemy, I'd
position snipers there. Better be
careful.
{Camino de Lava: Junction}
Miller (Radio) If you had something to stand on,
you could probably reach that...
[SFX Gunshot]
Miller (Radio) Sniper! Better be careful if you
don't want your head blown off.
Sniper 1 Somebody there?
Sniper 2 Nothing here...
{Aldea Los Despiertos}
Miller (Radio) Chico's in one of these houses.
You've got to find him, Snake.
Miller (Radio) Check inside a house by pressing
the Action Button in front of the
door.
{House 1}
Snake No one here.
{House 2}
Man Mama...
Snake Mmm?
Miller (Radio) Supposedly the houses being used
to hold prisoners have been
fitted with blue doors.

[SFX Door kicked]
Chico Who... Who's there...?
Snake Chico? It's me.
Chico You're... You're that...
Photographer?
Snake That's right, a war photographer.
Chico Huh? I thought you were here for
the birds.
Snake Yeah, uh, the birds of the
battlefield.
Chico Whoa, is that... Che's?
Can I see it?
Wow! The same kind El Che used!
Snake You can't keep it, kid.
Here, have these instead.
Chico Photos?
Oh no... Amanda!
Snake She's safe. Don't worry.
Chico Are you sure?
Snake We're patching her up back at my
place.
Chico She's hurt?!
Snake ... I said don't worry it's just a
broken leg.
Chico ... You got any Cigarettes? A Cigar.
huh...
[Snake Snatches the Cigar from Chico.]
Chico Hey!
Snake Not for kids. Chico. Do you know where
they took the cargo?
Chico Cargo? What cargo?
Snake ... Let me rephrase that... How do they
get stuff from the coast up here?
Chico Oh, that I can tell you. When the cargo
get's to the harbor, they first send it
up the marshes on a barge, then they
load it onto a jungle train past the
Banana Plantation and transport it by
rail.
The train stops here. When it gets to
the train terminal past the coffee
plantation, they reload it again - this
time onto a truck - which disappears
into a tunnel heading towards the
mountains.
Snake Disappears? Chico, what's on the other
side of that tunnel?
Chico Nobody knows. None of our compas ever got
close enough... It's protected by a spirit.
Snake ... A spirit.
Chico Yeah. A giant monster. ... El Basilisco.
Snake The king of Snakes...?
Chico No, really. I saw it! I was camping up
there one day, and just as I was waking
up around dawn I heard this loud noise.
I opened my eyes and saw an enormous
shadow must have been 30 Vara at least.
... It was walking on legs as big as
trees.
Snake Where'd you see it?
Chico At the terminal near the tunnel... But I
only saw it that one time.
Snake What exactly were you doing there?
Chico I, uh... Well me and my sister got into a
fight.
Snake And you just happened to go camping?
Chico You know their train should be arriving at
the place I saw El Basilisco right about
now!
Snake Is it far?
Chico Not really go past the coffee plantation
and it'll be to the north. What are you
chasing?
Snake Something that could keep the world in
balance... Or destroy it.
Chico Huh?
Snake I heard that place was a narcotics plant
before those guys took it over. But you
already knew that didn't you. Look, I get
it. Even revolutionaries need to pay the
bills. Still must be tough for a kid like
you to swallow.
Chico You're damn right it is! The route they
use to transport stuff is the same one Mi
Viejo used to smuggle drugs. They sold the
drugs to North Americanos and used the
profits to fund the army. They tried to
keep it hidden from me.
Snake Is that why you went camping?
Chico Yeah... I managed to sneak into the plant a
few times and... Tried to set it on fire.
... Everyone treats me like a child. I
couldn't stand it anymore. I'm not a kid,
I'm twelve!
Snake Couldn't do it. Though could you? Chico.
Growing up means choosing how you're going
to live your life. To do the right thing.
You sometimes have to leave the things you
care about behind - parents, family,
your homeland.
Chico But Mi Viejo... Papa...
Snake Chico...
Look at the photos.
Chico Mi Viejo...
Snake Treasure those memories Chico no matter
what happens keep them safe. You wanna
get out of here Chico?
Chico I do.
Snake Come back with me. Your sisters waiting
for you.
Chico I can't go back... I can't face
everybody...
Snake ... You told them where your compas are?
I see... Nothing to be ashamed of. Pain
gets the better of us all.
Chico ... I wish I was dead.
Snake Ok. Then I'll put you out of your misery.
Chico Wha-?
Snake Any last words?
Shoot, you are only going to kill a man.
[SFX Gunshot]
Snake I just wasted a bullet. Don't waste your
life. Listen to me Chico. You died here
today, you understand? You're Hombre Nuevo.
A new man. Now give that new life to me.
Fight with me, little soldier. Show me how
strong you really are.
Dry your tears then promise me one thing.
No smoking until you get older. Remember,
real heroes are never as polished as the
legends that surround them.
Chico You got it. Boss.
Snake Snake is fine.
[Snake places a backpack on Chico.]
Chico What's that?
[The backpack opens up and a Fulton Recover balloon rips
Chico into the air.]
[Codec]
Miller Snake, Chico made it over.
Chico Snake!
Snake Chico, you made it.
Chico Made it?! Don't give me that!
You say you're gonna give me a new life,
and then you nearly kill me?!
Snake I take it you didn't enjoy the trip?
Chico What's the big idea, dragging me off in
a... balloon! I might as well have taken
a colibri!
Snake At least you got a nice view. Or are you
afraid of heights?
Chico Whatever. I just wish you'd explained it
to me first.
Snake Would you have agreed to go if I did?
Amanda Thank you for saving us, Snake.
Snake Amanda, a word of advice.
Amanda What?
Snake Stop treating him like a child.
Amanda Yes... yes, I know. You're right. I
shouldn't.
Snake Amanda, you're coming back after your
leg heals, right?
Amanda Of course. We still have work to do.
Snake "We," huh... Are you sure you've got Chico's
future in mind when you say that?
Amanda What do you mean? We're sworn to our father's
cause, to helping the revolution succeed.
Snake Revolution or no revolution, you pick up a gun,
and sooner or later you're going to hell.
Are you prepared for that?
Amanda I am. If the alternative is giving up the country
I love, I'll take hell.
Snake Really... Well then, you're going to have to stop
treating Chico like a brother and start treating
him like a soldier.
Amanda I ...You're right.
Snake ...Welcome to hell.
Chico Snake, can I ask you a favor?
Snake Shoot.
Chico You find any prisoners from el Frente, you bring
'em back alive. 'Cause...
Snake You trying to make amends for talking?
Chico Not just that. Because they're compas...
Snake All right. But first I've gotta catch up to that
cargo.
Chico I'll do whatever I can to help.
Call me if there's anything you need to know
about the area. And...
Snake And what?
Chico Let me know if you encounter any wildlife you've
never seen before.
Snake Never seen before? What, like that basilisco you
were talking about?
Chico I'm talking about UMAs.
Snake U... M... As?
Chico Y'know, like ancient dinosaurs or legendary
monsters. One day, I'm going to be a hunter.
Snake Is that right. OK, sure.
Chico If you wanna know more, I'm happy to tell you!
Snake Right. I'll be in touch, Chico.
Miller Ok, Snake. The enemy's cargo is headed for the
next outpost, a rail terminal.
Snake Chico says no one's ever set foot past there.
Miller Their main base is probably on the other side
of that tunnel. Unless we catch those spears
before reaching it, they'll be in enemy hands.
You've got to stop them. Hurry, Snake.
{Aldea Los Despiertos}
Miller (Radio) The train terminal is on the other side of the
coffee factory. Head for the factory first.
Miller (Radio) To get to the coffee factory, you'll first need
to backtrack to the fork in the road.
Miller (Radio) Remember that basin with the locomotive?
Go through there, then head toward the coffee
factory.
{Camino de Lava: Junction}
Miller (Radio) There's a coffee factory to the northeast.
Beyond that is a train terminal.
{Cafetal Aroma Encantado: Entrance}
Amanda (Radio) They may have guards posted up high.
Ten cuidado.
{Cafetal Aroma Encantado: Mill]
Miller (Radio) Pass through the coffee factory to reach
the train terminal.
Chico (Radio) Looks like that's all of them. Thanks again.
Miller (Radio) You'll have to pass through the coffee factory
to reach the train terminal.
{El Cadalso}
Miller (Radio) Looks like we're just in time. Neutralize all
enemies and secure the train!
Chico (Radio) Those tracks are from el basilisco. Be careful.
Miller Check out the cargo!
Snake The nukes!
[While staring at the vans driving off with the
nukes a tank with armored support approach from
the rear. The operator of the tank having a clear
shot at Snake fires on the cargo box sending it
flying into the tunnel - leaving Snake dazed.
Snake pulls himself off the ground and after a
long battle of cat-and-mouse takes out the tank.]
[Codec]
Miller Snake, the truck is headed up the mountain
road past the tunnel.
Snake So it was nukes after all.
Miller What now? Their main base is up ahead.
Snake I better hurry after 'em, then.
Miller But...
Snake Kaz, if I don't get moving it'll be too
late!
Miller All right.
I guess you never let dangerous assignments
or risk aversion get in your way.
Snake How do I get inside the mountain? I can
forget about the tunnel.
Miller Yeah, the tank took care of that...
Snake Any other routes?
Miller Why don't I let a local expert take over?
Chico Snake, you need a way into the mountain?
Snake Yeah. Got one?
Chico Let's see... You remember that prison I was in?
Snake In the village, right?
Chico Right. Go back to the village and head north.
There's a bridge that connects to the mountain
road. It crosses over a gorge.
That's probably the best way... But there is a
little problem. The path heading north from the
village is barricaded. You might have to break
through...
Snake Got it.
Chico The heart of Irazu...
That's where the enemy's base has got to be,
Snake. And maybe...
Snake Let me guess - the basilisco?
Chico You don't believe me, do you?
Snake No, I mean... We'll have to see.
Miller Snake, Irazu features a number of crater
lakes. The Oduber government had planned to
use those lakes to construct hydroeletric
plants as one of its big state development
projects. The project was scrapped, but
there's still a small opening at the bottom
of the lake.
Snake Meaning?
Miller I checked the satellite imagery, but didn't
see anything man-made. Which means they've
probably built a base inside the mountain...
Could just be a storage igloo for explosives,
or maybe some kind of research facility.
Snake What do they hope to accomplish by bringing
the nukes there?
Miller First things first. Get past that barricade
north of the village. Looks like the only
way through is the noisy way - you'll have
to blow it up.
{Cafetal Aroma Encantado: Mill}
Miller (Radio) Go back to the prison camp.
It's in the village where they were holding
Chico.
{Cafetal Aroma Encantado: Entrance}
Miller (Radio) Head west from there and it'll take you
straight to the prison camp.
{Aldea Los Despiertos}
Miller (Radio) If you cut across the prison camp,
you'll find a gate leading north.
Miller (Radio) The gate's on the northwest side of the
prison camp. Cut across the camp to get there.
Chico (Radio) And when you shot me, I really thought I
was done for.
Chico (Radio) When I was locked up there, I didn't feel
alive at all.
Miller (Radio) You'll have to destroy the gate if you want to
cross the bridge. Some C4 should do the trick.
Miller (Radio) The barricade is located somewhere in that vicinity.
Miller (Radio) First equip your C4. You can't plant a charge
unless it's equipped.
Miller (Radio) To plant a C4 charge, hold down the Aim Button and
press the Attack Button.
Miller (Radio) There, blow up that barricade!
Miller (Radio) Good work, Snake!
Miller (Radio) Cross the bridge and head north.
Amanda (Radio) The guys with helmets will not go down with a
single headshot. Watch yourself.
Chico (Radio) Even we have never been past there.
{Los Cantos: Ridge}
Miller (Radio) If you had something to stand on, you could
probably reach that...
Miller (Radio) Good, you've reached the transport route. Follow
it to their base.
Amanda (Radio) Their base should be beyond that transport route.
Miller (Radio) Rockets can travel a long way to their target.
Never assume you're out of range.
Paz (Radio) There should be an entrance about halfway up the
mountain. Be careful.
Miller (Radio) Looks like the entrance is on the mountainside.
Better hurry, Snake.
{Fuerte La Ladera}
Miller (Radio) You have to get through that fort. Their base is
beyond it.
Amanda (Radio) There may be snipers on the roof.
Amanda (Radio) Can you make it there by hanging?

{Crator Base}
Snake Kaz, I'm inside the facility, there're rows and
rows of trucks here.
Miller If that's where they brough the nukes, then the
truck we're after should be there. Snake. Can you
tell me which one of the trucks brought the Nukes?
Snake This is the one. The exhausts still warm.
... But the cargo's already been offloaded.
[Snake charges into the command center and stops advancing to listen
in on the two people argueing.]
Huey Just wait a minute! This isn't what we agreed on!
Coldman It's too late. The changes have already been
finalized.
Huey You told me it was going to be a deterrent - that we
wouldn't have to launch!
Coldman I am not arguing with you doctor, our goal is to
create the perfect deterrent.
Huey Thats why I agreed to help develop it...
Coldman Mm-hmm, however in order to achieve that perfect
deterrent, we must show the world our strength.
Three key principles ensure effective nuclear
deterrence. First, you must have nuclear weapons.
Second, you must never use them first and third
and most important. If someone attacks you, you
must strike back.
Unless we prove beyond a doubt that these 3
principles work in practice, the world will not
accept our new deterrent and the only way to do
that is to show them we're capable of actually
launching a nuke.
Huey But isn't deterrence supposed to stop nukes from
being used...!
Coldman Exactly. And so the one we launch will be the last
one ever!
Huey I wont let you use my creation like that!
Coldman Your creation? That thing wasn't even your idea to
begin with. You stole it, didn't you?
Huey ...S-Stole it? Your one to talk! You got the idea
for bipedal locomotion from the communists in the
first place!
Coldman You listen to me Doc! Keep quiet. Do as I say and
not another word about stolen ideas. Should we
succeed here, you'll be the toast of the scientific
community... Your name will go down in history as
champion of both progress and national security!
Huey The hell with that!
Coldman Doctor! Unless we prove we're capable of launching,
Peace Walker is usless as a deterrent.
Huey You used me.
Coldman We used each other. I'll get my old directors job
back at headquarters and you'll finally be able to
"walk tall" among your colleagues.
Huey Rgh..I wont let you get away with this!
Coldman How unfortunate. Guess I'll just have to take your
"legs" for myself! ...Peace wont just come to us,
Doc. We are going to have meet it halfway.
V for Victory!
Huey W-Wait!
Snake Hey, you ok?
Huey Don't do it..!
Snake Snap out of it! Where are the nukes?
Huey He's gonna do it!
He's gonna launch a nuke!
[Snake turns his head after hearing the engine of a chopper
powering up.]
Snake Hmm?!
[Snake charges into the hanger as Peace Walker is being air
lifted by the Chrysalis.]
Coldman Take him out.
[But before Snake can do anything Coldman sics the Pupa on him.]
Huey Look out!
Its one of the unmanneds!
Heads up!
[After destroying the PUPA Snake turns to the stairs after
hearing a voice.]
Huey That was an unmanned weapon - a prototype.
I made it myself
Snake Who are you?
Huey I work here. Well used to, anyway, names
Huey and who might you be? You don't look
like one of those mercenaries.
Snake Me? I'm...an entomologist.
Huey A..fighting...entomologist?
Snake I specialize in butterflies. I'm, uh, here
to catch a ulysses..
Huey Ulysses? Hmm, I didnt think they lived in
Costa Rica... morphos, maybe?
Snake Thats it...need to get some before the
Washington Treaty goes into effect...
Huey Says here morphos aren't covered under the
treaty...
Snake Ugh...must have slipped my mind.
Huey You sure your feeling all right?
Snake Anyway, long story short, the BUTTERFLY got
away. So how about it, Doc? Did you make that
big 'Butterfly' too?
Huey Yes... and no
Snake What was that thing? What are they doing here?
Huey Hmm, something tells me your no ordinary
entomologist. The nukes were loaded on that
machine. The projects entering its final phase.
Snake Project...?
Huey Thats right. The thermonuclear warheads they
brought in, the bases scattered throughout
Costa Rica, the mercenaries, the A.I. weapons,
the research we were conducting here... its
all for this... We used this facility to
develop unmanned weapons.
Snake Unmanned?
Huey Robots, the one you just fought was a Pupa,
theres also a flying type called Chrysalis and
a treaded type - the cocoon. Motor control,
target detection, tracking, attack, capture
and transport functions are all controlled
by an electronic brain.
Theres no need for a human pilot. They can only
follow simple commands, though.
Snake Why build them here?
Huey For the CIA. They invited me here a year ago.
The CIA's Station Chief for Central America
goes by the name of Hot Coldman. Apparently
he was some sort of hero back at the height
of the Cold War. He's the one running the
show. We called it the Peace Walker Project.
Snake Peace Walker...
Huey They're going to deploy a new type of nuclear
weapon along the Caribbean coast of Latin
America. A mobile, unmanned nuclear platform.
Snake Unmanned...nuclear platform...?
Huey A fail-deadly system that can automatically
move into position and launch a retaliatory
nuclear strike. It can move on its own, and
stealth shields it from radar and satellite
detection, drastically reducing the risk of
it being destroyed in a pre-emptive strike.
Snake And this is the new deterrent?
Huey Supposed to be. The problem is the locomotion
system. There's no dry season in the Caribbean.
It rains all year round. The terrain is full
of tropical rainforest - a lot of the time you
cant even build a proper road... So I went
back to where it all started. Legs, walking
power. A mobile launcher carrying a
thermonuclear warhead even more powerful than
the Soviet RDS-220's. Thats Peace Walker.
Snake Chico's Basilico...
Huey We did the assembly and field testing here.
Snake A walking nuke...
Huey I sort of borrowed the original idea from
behind the iron curtain...
Snake The missing link between infantry and
artillery... Metal Gear...
Huey Metal Gear, huh. But... they'd actually need
to deploy dozens of them. Coldman needs
funding for that. And to get it, hes planning
a test, which will also serve as a
demonstration for the folks back at Langley.
Snake Wait... He's launching a nuke to prove that
his perfect deterrent works?
Huey In his words, "...To prove that if someone
attacks us, we will strike back."
Put simply, nuclear deterrence is the idea of
using nukes to keep nukes in check. If one
side launches nuclear weapons, the other is
sure to launch theirs in retalliation. Which
makes launching an act of suicide. In the end,
neither side can use its nukes. It's thanks to
this doctrine that the world's two superpowers
have avoided all-out confrontation.
Nuclear deterrence has brought us peace. At the
very least, it's prevented another world war
from breaking out. But the theory of nuclear
deterrence exists only on paper. In reality,
there's no guarantee that either side would
follow through with retaliation.
There's the chance that a pre-emptive strike
could destroy all the missile bases - render
them unable to retaliate. But the biggest flaw
in the theory is that the decision to retaliate
has to be made by human beings.
Let me give you a real-world example.
Lets say Country X launches first against
Country Y...If the people in charge in Country
Y are like you and me, they're not going to be
able to retaliate knowing that they're
effectively ending all human life.
Snake So then... The weak link in nuclear deterrence
theory is the uncertainty of retaliation?
Huey Bingo. And that creates a "loophole" Country X
can exploit to launch the 1st strike...which is
why we designed the system to be unmanned. With
Peace Walker, retaliation is certain. It chooses
the appropriate target and launches a retaliatory
nuclear strike - every time, without needing
human input to make the call. Launching a nuclear
strike against Peace Walker is tantamount to
pushing the launch button against yourself.
It closes the loophole in nuclear deterrence
theory, rendering our friends in Country X
completely unable to attack. What Coldman's
saying is that to achieve this goal, we need to
demonstrate that retaliation will be carried out
by a machine. He'll launch his nuke and then his
version of deterrence will be complete.
Snake And you believe him?
Huey ...I believe in peace through nuclear deterrence
Snake Why?
Huey My father worked on the Manhattan Project. He put
his whole life into that research..and all it
created was this illusion of peace called
deterrence. And then I was born... unable to walk.
I had no choice but to face up to the nukes.
But... If they do end up launching, it'll all have
been for nothing. They've got to be stopped.
Snake Where'd they take the warheads?
Huey To a base near the border. The final test is 5
days from now.
Snake Where's the base?
Huey You're going to stop them? Its kind of a hike,
and besides theres a sure fire way to halt the
project. You see... Peace Walker isnt quite
finished yet.
Snake What do you mean?
Huey Its missing one last critical structural component:
The A.I. Its brain The Reptile Pod, the electronic
brain I was working on, can only follow commands
like 'Go there, attack that'. I guess you could
compare it to the human cerebellum. But for nuclear
deterrence to work, it must function in place of
a human decision-maker.
It needs something to analyze the huge volumes of
data coming and select an appropriate target for
retaliation. Hence, it needs the high-level
decision-making ability of a cerebrum. The hardware
configuration is modeled on the human brain, similar
to the pod I worked on - but its role is completely
different.
Snake Where's it being made?
Huey A research lab to the north. An A.I. expert named
Dr. Strangelove is developing it. Very hush-hush.
Snake Dr. Strangelove...
Huey Strangelove was recruited from the states, too. In
the field of A.I., theres no one better, thats for
sure. But, man, what a basket case! She hates
everybody. Go to the lab and destroy Peace Walkers
cerebrum. Im pretty sure they haven't finished the
final calibrations yet. I'll lend you my ID Card,
it'll get you through security at the lab and one
more thing...
[Huey hands Snake an envolope.]
Snake Whats this? A letter of recommendation?
Huey Yeah, it's, um..It's from me to Dr.
Strangelove... don't read it, OK?
Snake So what will you do now?
Huey I... I'm done with science. At this rate,
I'm probably already halfway to Hell anyway.
Snake Not so fast. Why not join us? Our place is
'Outer Heaven' you'd fit right in.
Huey Outer Heaven...? I'm probably better suited
to something like that than this 'Paradise'.
Snake Good. You get a free balloon trip for signing
up. Enjoy it - you'll feel like a butterfly.
Huey Your an agent, right? Who do you work for?
Snake Me? I was a Cold War tool... same as you. Now
I'm not so useful anymore, so they cut me
loose... I dont answer to anyone.
Call me Snake
Huey Snake... that name seems familiar somehow.
Snake Probably just deja vu.

CHAPTER 2: THE PHANTOM HERO
November 19, 1974 Costa Rica
Selva de la Leche, Central Heredia
[Snake begins his long approach to Dr. Strangelove's
Facility.]
Huey Snake, hows the mule treating you?
Snake At this pace, I should be there by
tomorrow morning.
Huey You've got to hurry. The A.I. could be
completed any time now.
Snake Would be nice to have a guide...
Huey Already on it. I've enlisted Paz to help
you. She knows the jungle pretty well.
Paz Snake, I know your an expert in survival,
but you need to stay alert. You're in
ancient jungle so foggy you can hardly see
the trees. It is home to 2,500 species of
plants, including 400 types of orchids. There
are also 500 species of butterflies and over
400 species of wild birds. The bedrock is
solid enough that Mayan ruins have miraculousy
survived centuries of earthquakes.
Snake An A.I. lab in a Mayan ruin, who'd have thought,
eh, Huey?
Huey My sentiments exactly. That doesn't mean security's
any less tight, though. You still have the ID card I
gave you, dont you?
Snake Got it right here.
Huey That'll get you through the gate no problem. After
that, you're on your own. As long as the A.I.
remains unassembled, Coldmans plans on ice.
Snake Ha ha, what about the security in the lab?
Huey Well, it shouldn't be a problem for you. Strangelove
demanded that the security presence inside the lab be
kept to a minimum.
Miller Its not all good news, Snake. Coldman knows we're here.
He's raised security in the area surrounding the lab.
You'll be seeing a lot of those Chrysalis UAV - and a
bunch of patrol choppers too and there may be scouts in
the jungle lying in ambush. As you approach the lab, be
extra vigilant.
Snake I'll be careful.
[Snake hears the humming of a UAV above him.]
Miller They're looking for you, stay sharp!
Snake, Strangelove's lab is a few miles to the north. It
won't be long before the A.I. is complete. Don't let that
happen!
{Selva De La Leche: Jungle}
Miller (Radio) Careful. If there's enemy scouts around here,
they'll be nearly impossible to see.
Miller (Radio) Watch out. Enemy Search may not spot enemies
that are actively hidden.
Paz (Radio) Morpho butterflies... Pretty, aren't they?
Miller (Radio) Strangelove's lab is north of there. Head north.
[Upon entering Catarata de la Muerte Snake is attacked by
support troops and a Hind - D (Mi-24A General-Purpose Attack
Helicopter). After eliminating the competition Snake uses
Huey's card to gain access to the next area.]
{Selva de la Muerte: Bottom of cliff}
Miller (Radio) Some scouts are really hard to spot because
they grass or dirt to camouflage
themselves.
They blend right in with the natural
surroundings.
Miller (Radio) Snipers and laser sights are a deadly
combination...

Snake ... Hey.
Cécile Ah, Tu M'As Trouvee!
C'est Moi Le Loup!
Snake French...
Fini De Jouer A Cache-Cache.
Dis-Moi Qui Tu Es.
Cécile Please, do not kill me...
Snake You're no soldier...
Cécile I am a tourist...
Snake What's your name?
Cécile Please...
Snake What are you doing here?
Cécile Cécile Cosina Caminades.
You're not... One of the soldiers?
Please, lower your gun...
Who are you?
Snake I'm... An Ornithologist.
Cécile A Poacher...?!
Snake The gun's for self-defense.
I'm looking for... That one rare bird...
in Costa Rica.
Cécile Which one? The Quetzal?
Snake Right, the Quetzal... They're rare, but
they're not covered under the Washington
treaty.
Cécile The resplendent Quetzal is Red-Listed.
Snake Really...
You know your stuff.
Cécile I am... An Ornithologist myself.
Snake Well. We'll have to compare notes later.
Here, drink some of this.
[Cecile drinks from the jug of water Snake gave her.]
Cécile Haa...
You saved me.
They told me this was a paradise... That
there were more rare birds here than
anywhere else. That there was no war here...
That it was safe... They told me it was
every birder's dream. But... They were
wrong.
Snake What happened?
Cécile ... If only I hadn't recorded that stupid
voice...
Snake ... Voice?
Cécile I was trying to capture the Quetzal's song.
Making my way through a thicket, I saw
immense ruins towering before me...
Boss AI ... I chase it away. It'll bite you unless
you kill it.
GO Home!
Snake You're the one who made the tape?
Boss AI I am loyal to myself.
Guards Who's there?!
Cécile ... I was captured by that woman. But she
was kind. She gave me food to eat and even
bathed me herself each day.
She said I could go home in a month... 'So
whatever you do don't take off the blindfold
do so and you'll never leave here.
Snake Guess you didn't listen. How'd you escape?
Cécile I waited for an opening stole an ID card.
They almost caught me but I managed to elude
them...
Snake You made it this far and then succumed to
exhaustion.
Cécile I was barefoot... With no supplies. Oh, I'm
so sorry. I drank it all.
Snake That facility...You see anybody else in there?
Cécile Well there was another woman. But I never saw
her in person...because you know...the blindfold.
Oh, yes, she often sang
Snake Sang...?
Cécile It was such a strange song
Snake What kinda person was she? Could you tell
anything from her voice?
Cécile I don't know. I dont even know why I was held
prisoner. They confiscated my equipment, my
supplies, my passport, my money... everything.
The only thing I was allowed to keep were my
undergarments... so that I would not be able to
escape... and now Im without even the means to
prove who I am. I will not make home to Paris
like this.
Snake In that case...come to our place.
Cécile Eh...?
Snake You dont need a passport there. Dont even need
a name. If you want to go back to Paris, we'll
take you there, any time.
Cécile What I want is a shower, a change of clothes...
and a cigarette.
Snake I've got a cigar, its Cuban.
Cécile No French cigarettes? I prefer unfiltered...
Snake ...Fresh out. But come back to my place and
you can have all the French cigarettes
you want.
Cécile It sounds like heaven.
Snake Close, but not quite. Outer Heaven
Cécile Its sounding better all the time.
Snake So, you must of gotten a look at the facility
when you escaped, right? What's in there?
Cécile A lot of machinery. A big computer, like you'd
see in a university...
Snake What about the room where you heard the voice?
Anybody in there?
Cécile I dont know. There was a tube...a large tube in
the back. When I approached it, I heard a voice.
Snake What did it say?
Cécile Jack... Yes, it simply said "Jack" over and over
Snake ...Jack
Cécile Listen, you've got to get me out of here. I
really need a shower!
Snake Wait here. Ive still got business to take care of.
Cécile What? You're not thinking of going in there, are
you? You cant leave me here!
Snake Relax, I'll have some friends come pick you up.
Miller This is Miller
Snake One for recoverey. A civilian
Miller Snake, we dont have room for anymore civilians
here.
Snake Not even for a blonde Parisienne?
Miller A what?! So she's, ah...pretty foxy?
Snake See for yourself. If what shes saying is true, I
think we've found Paz's friend.
Miller The missing one?
Snake I'm thinking shes the one that made that tape.
Have her listen to it when she gets there.
Miller So shes safe then. Good news
Snake I'm sure Paz will be glad to hear it
Miller You bet. Snake, the ruins are just up ahead, head
north.
Snake On my way
Cécile What about me?
Snake Stay put. Ever wonder what its like to be a bird?
[Snake plants a Fulton balloon on Cecile ripping her into the air.]
{Ruinas de Xochiquetzal}
Huey (Radio) Snake, I'm a sucker for French women, too, but right
now I need you to go meet Dr. Strangelove.
{AI Laboratory}
[Snake approaches the door and slides Huey's access card only to
find out its cancelled.]
Snake What?
[Snake Slides the card again and once again access is denied.]
Snake It won't open.
Damn.
Miller (Radio) It won't open... What's wrong with it?
[Codec]
Huey Snake?
Snake Huey, your ID card isn't working.
It won't open the lock!
Huey ...It can't be...
Snake What's going on?!
Huey She hates me that much?!
...Strangelove's in charge of authorizing IDs.
Sometime a working card has its privileges
removed. ...Say, if she decides she doesn't
like that card's carrier.
Snake You think that's what happened?
Huey Well, I was never exactly her favorite.
Well, this could be tricky.
The soldiers outside aren't allowed in the lab
either, so their cards won't do you any good...
Snake Great...
Miller Snake
Snake Kaz, where's Cecile?
Miller She just got here. Hold on.
Cécile Snake!
Snake Cecile. How'd it feel to fly?
Cécile Wonderful. For a moment, I felt what it must
be like to be a bird. It almost made me want
to give up my research and get a pilot's
license... Did you need something?
Snake You said you'd gotten an ID card, right?
Cécile Yes. But it was confiscated when the guards
caught me.
Snake Who took it?! What'd he look like?!
Cécile He had on an orange jacket.
I... cannot recall his face, though.
Snake Yeah, they all look pretty much the same.
Where did it happen?
Cécile Let me think...
Ah, yes! I do remember hearing the song of a
nearby quetzal.
Snake Just what I'd expect from a birder.
Cécile Would you like to hear it?
[SFX Bird Sound]
Snake Hmm? What's that song?
Cécile It's my quetzal. I took it with me when I was
rescued.
Snake Didn't you say something about them being
covered under the Washington Convention...
Cécile Just kidding. That was just me... an
imitation.
An essential skill for any ornithologist.
Pretty good, no?
Snake Damn good.
Cécile If you want to hear the quetzal's song again,
just let me know. I can tell you all about
the birds of Costa Rica, too.
Snake Yeah... will do. Thanks, Cecile.
Cécile No, no, thank you, Snake. Talk to you soon.
Snake Kaz, did you play that tape for Cecile?
Miller I sure did. It's hers, all right.
Snake Then she must be...
Miller She's not. Cecile says she's never even met
Paz.
Snake What?
Miller She's at least 10 years too old.
Snake But...
Miller I'm guessing Paz convinced herself that it
was the tape her friend made. But never mind
that. Let's go over what we know so far. The
soldier with the ID card is wearing an orange
jacket and is in a location where you'll hear
quetzals singing.
Find that soldier. Retrieve that card.
{Ruinas de Xochiquetzal}
Miller (Radio) There's supposed to be a quetzal singing close
to where your target is located. Keep your ears
open.
Cécile (Radio) Kyohhh kyohhh. ...Well? Pretty good, hm?
Cécile (Radio) Oink, oink! Oink, oink!
Oops, that was a pig!
{Selva de la Muerte: Top of Cliff}
Miller (Radio) Once you know which soldier has the ID card,
do a body check.
To do a body check, first knock the soldier out
or put him to sleep.
Or hold him up - that works too.
{Selva de la Leche: Jungle}
Paz (Radio) You're doing great, Snake! Peace!
{Selva de la Leche: Hillside}
Miller (Radio) The soldier carrying the ID card is supposed to
be wearing an orange jacket.
{Catarate de la Muerte}
Cécile (Radio) Yes... that is definitely the quetzal. He must be
nearby!
Now look for a soldier with an orange jacket.
Miller (Radio) You'll have to unequip the Fulton recovery device
before you do the body check.
Miller (Radio) Snake, pick it up!
Miller (Radio) I bet you coul use that ID card you found to get
into the lab.
Paz (Radio) I believe in you, Snake...
{Selva de la Muerte: Top of Cliff}
Miller (Radio) Come on, Snake! That letter could contain
information vital to our mission.
{AI Laboratory}
[Snake uses the ID card he took from a soldier and the door finally
opens.]
Miller (Radio) Excellent, it's open.

[Snake finally reaches Strangelove's lab and freezes in horror when
he sees The Boss's horse.]
Snake It can't be...
The Boss Looks like death wasn't ready for you yet.
Snake Boss..?!
Strangelove And who might you be?
Snake You're... Doctor Strangelove. I presume.
Strangelove ... I've been waiting Snake. Yes, waiting without
joy or pleasure... Waiting for the one I despise!
Snake Don't move!
Strangelove Don't move... You men and your guns, you all say
the same thing. I suppose you're here to destroy
my research...
Yes, I know. Just as I know what you did ten years
ago. Go on, kill me like you killed her. Kill me
like you killed The Boss.
Kill me!
Snake What exactly do you...?
Strangelove Come on, Snake! Or should I say Big Boss that filthy
title given you as reward for murder... Do you still
wear it with pride?
You chose a shadowy country over the mentor who made
you what you are. You brought despair to good soldiers
everywhere.
You used the pretext of a mission to kill a true hero.
Is that what you call loyalty? Answer me!
Snake The Boss...
Strangelove Well...?! What do you have to say for yourself?!
Snake ... She betrayed America she stole a Davy Crockett and
then defected to the other side. She used an American
nuclear weapon to attack Soviet territory.
The only way for Washington to prove its innocence to
Moscow... Was to eliminate the traitor themselves.
The Boss's death was the only thing that could have
prevented all-out nuclear war.
Strangelove Is that what you call the "Truth"?
Snake It's the truth as it was told to me.
Strangelove So the truth is that you sullied the reputation of your
mentor the woman you loved most in this world before you
buried her?
Snake ... It was my mission.
Strangelove Hmph. So that's the conclusion you came to in order
to live with yourself.
Snake What's the Boss to you?
Strangelove I'm the one she abondoned when she left this world. I
won't rest until I get answers from the woman I loved.
You and I are the same we are the walking dead.
Would you like to meet her?
Snake The Boss is gone.
Strangelove Not so fast! You'd like to meet her, wouldn't you? I can
arrange it. You took her life. I gave it back.
Snake ... You what?
Strangelove ... Care for a sniff? It's only snuff, you're a
cigar man, aren't you? Well there's no smoking
in there, So if you want to meet her you'd best
partake now.
... Follow me.
[Dr. Strangelove shows Snake her prize experiment while Snake can
barely stop trembling.]
Strangelove This is my baby, my morpho butterfly. It's neither
Pupa nor Cocoon, but an Imagc - A Complete
individual - in the fullest sense of the word.
Boss AI Is someone there?
Snake Boss...
Strangelove We have a visitor. I'll introduce him.
... Don't try anything foolish. As long as we're in
here, I can reduce you to carbon at the press of a
button.
Boss AI Who are you?
A man...
A war fighter...
Snake Boss?
... Is that you?
Strangelove I call it the mammal pod.
Snake Mammal Pod?
Strangelove For my participation on the project, I demanded
access to all the information on The Boss.
Everything The CIA had.
Her personal history, military records,
physiological data, correspondence, The files for
every operation she took part in. Every decision
she ever made at every possible turn.
What she took, and what was taken from her. Her
pain and her pleasure her joy and sorrow her life
and death.
And yes, even you.
Snake Why would you do that?
Strangelove Coldman sought an Mad-Based AI that would deliver
an effective retaliatory strike against the most
appropriate target in response to a Nuclear attack
from a hypothetical adversary.
An unmanned device to act as a deterrent capable
of making the decisions and taking the actions that
human beings cannot.
I therefore concluded he required a cool..
Calculating machine programmed to inflict swift sure
and utter annihilation upon the enemy no retaliation.
But he took it upon himself to come up with a different
answer.
He said he needed the thought patterns of the very
finest rational mind one that thought on a global scale
took both past and future into consideration and reached
the best decision no matter how painful.
Snake And thats why you asked for everything they had on
The Boss?
Strangelove It was the logical thing to do I knew of only one person
who could be entrusted with the fate of the entire human
race.
Snake But what's your real goal here?
Strangelove To clear her name. Why was a legendary hero forced to
betray her country? Why was she targetted for assassination
by you. Her most beloved disciple?
I've no use for fabrications... I want the truth...
The Boss' last will. You must be dying to know yourself.
Snake No. She abondoned her country... Abondoned us all.
Strangelove Really... You think you understand her feelings?
Snake You're trying to recreate The Boss's last will...
Is that it?
Strangelove Why don't you ask her yourself... Jack?
Boss AI Jack... Jack.
Snake Boss...?
Boss AI Jack!
Snake Boss...
Boss AI Jack! GO HOME! I'm not your boss anymore!
Snake Boss...
Boss AI GO HOME!
Snake No, I...
Strangelove Complete your misssion Snake extinguish that noble soul
once again if you can.
(Another flashback to Operation Snake Eater.)
The Boss I taught you all I could. The rest you needed to learn
on your own.
Snake Techniques sure but what about how to think like a
soldier?
The Boss There's a saying in the orient: "Loyalty to the End"...
Do you know what it means?
Snake Being... Patriotic?
The Boss It means devoting yourself to your country. As long
as we have "Loyalty to the End" there's no point in
believing in anything... Even in those we love.
Snake And that's the way a soldier's suppooed to think?
The Boss The only thing we can believe in with absolute
certanty... Is the mission Jack.
I'm defecting to the Soviet Union. Jack.
You can't come with us.
[Snake awakes outside the AI Lab just as he stands up Chrysalis appears
and attacks. After a protracted fight against Chrysalis Snake walked
away the victor.]
[Codec]
Miller Snake...
Snake She played me like a piano...
Miller Forget about it. You'll get 'em
back.
That is, as long as you've got
the will to do it.
Snake I'm not giving up.
Miller All right, then...
I confirmed the location with Huey. The
final testing base for Peace Walker is 15
miles to the north of that lab. It's an
underground facility disguised as a rock
quarry. All you need to do is sneak in
and destroy the AI for good this time.
Snake Right.
Miller Snake, you can destroy it, right?
Snake Yeah.
Miller We all have our limits - actions beyond
our abilities.
Snake Don't worry. I won't screw it up this time.
Miller You're the one who killed The Boss.
Destroying that AI means reliving that
memory.
Snake It's just a machine.
Miller Snake, I'm worried.
Snake Worried?
Miller For the same reason the CIA entrusted the
nuclear launch to an AI.
A man can condemn a handful of criminals to
the death penalty if they're prepared to
assume that responsibility.
But who among us could do the same to
hundreds of millions of innocent civilians?
Who could reduce thousands of years of human
history to ash in an instant? Could any flesh
-and-blood human being make that decision?
No way in hell.
No one man could bear the burden of total
genocide. It's what's allowed our cowardly
species to survive all this time.
But for a machine, willpower is no issue.
Snake What are you saying, Kaz?
Miller You're a hero, Snake. But you're not a machine.
Snake That I can't destroy that thing?
Miller That machine's not the problem. It's that The
Boss still lives - inside of you.
Snake Bullshit!
Miller She's dead, Snake. It's time to come to terms
with that.
Let me put it another way.
You've left everything behind - your country,
your identity, your past and ideals... But
there's still one thing you haven't let go of.
Snake What are you talking about?
Miller The Boss. You still haven't let her go.
That's why you're so afraid to find out the
truth about her.
And that's what's holding you back from your
future.
Snake, she died a decade ago.
How long can you live with a ghost?
Snake Kaz, I thought I knew everything about her.
But I still don't understand what happened
to her at the end.
Miller There you are no different from that scientist
woman.
Snake When she didn't believe me, I realized
something.
That debriefing I heard could've been part
of the cover story they made up.
Now even I'm not sure what her real intentions
were.
Why did she take that mission?
How did she feel about dying?
Why was I chosen?
Miller You want to know the truth?
The truth won't change the past. You
still want to know?
Snake ...No. I took on this mission for a kid
who believes in peace.
Miller Hm. Fine, then. There's no point in arguing.
Peace Walker is on the verge of completion.
C'mon, Boss. Let's get to that base!
* * * * *
CHAPTER 3: A NATION REBORN
Miller How's the horse doing?
Snake Not too bad. You'd never know he's
over 20 years old.
Miller He was her's, after all.
Snake Seems like some part of her became
a part of him.
November 21, 1974 Costa Rica
Mine Base, Eastern Heredia
[Snake stands at a cliff overlooking the Costa Rican Mining
facility.]
Huey The platform and the cerebral AI are supposed
to be assembled at an underground base
disguised as a mine. If my guess is right,
both of them have already arrived and are
being readied for final testing.
Destroying the platform will be difficult. I
suggest getting up close and destroying the AI
instead.
Whatever you do, I'm begging you, don't let my
Peace Walker launch a Nuke. Hurry, Snake!
{Miner's Residence}
Miller (Radio) Peace Walker's in a base due west of your current
position. Move out!
Huey (Radio) You're Headed for a base they've done up as a
mine.
Miller (Radio) Go West, Snake. West.
Miller (Radio) There's some straw below you.
You can dive into it with the Action Button.
Miller (Radio) Back in the time of the Crusades, members of the
order of Assassins used what is called the
Assassin's Straw Box to hide and get close to
their enemies.
Miller (Radio) You can fit up to two people inside an Assassin's
Straw Box.
Miller (Radio) Drag 'em inside the box!
Chico (Radio) Looks like the base you're after has been made to
look like a mine.
{Mining Pit}
[After fighting a wave of soldiers delaying his advance
towards the underground base Snake is cought in a tedious
wargame against the Cocoon. Once defeated Snake enters
the base.]
[AI Weapon Hanger]
Miller (Radio) The enemy's still on high alert after that
last tangle. Don't get yourself caught.
Commander Blue team, search for the intruders. Gold team,
guard the elevators. Go!
Miller (Radio) That elevator should take you underground.
To use the elevator, press the Action Button in
front of the switch. Find Peace Walker's hanger
and destroy the AI pod.
{Underground Passage A}
Soldier They're calling for backup up top. Come on!
Soldier 2 Right behind you!
{Underground Passage B}
Miller (Radio) Maybe a little elbow grease will get those
shutters open... Try tapping the Action Button
as fast as you can!
Miller (Radio) Nice, Snake! From here it's a straight shot to
Peace Walker's hanger!

Strangelove We're waiting on acknowledgement from Reptile.
It could be a while.
Coldman Don't take all night.
Strangelove Oh, Coldman, I'd like to perform one final check.
Everyone take a break. I've got some concerns about
the dummy data for Mammal....
[Snake sneaks into The AI Pod.]
Boss AI ..Jack, you've returned." "What's wrong? Your body
temperature has fallen.
Snake ...You're imagining things.
Boss AI Have you come to destroy me? Your pulse has
quickened slightly.
Snake Just chilly. It's freezing in here.
Boss AI ...I see"
Snake Boss...
Boss AI What is it, Jack?
Snake Boss? Is that you?
Boss AI What is it, Jack?"
Snake Do you have...regrets?
Boss AI Regrets?
Snake About your final mission.
Boss AI My final mission?
Snake The one in Groznyj Grad.
Boss AI I've...never been on a mission there.
Snake September of 1964... You betrayed the United States
and then I killed you.
Boss AI I have no record of such a debriefing.
Snake ...Listen to me! I have to know, did you defect to
the Soviet Union of your own free will?
Boss AI There is no mission record matching that description
"Jack?"
Snake Your not The Boss. THE BOSS IS DEAD!
Boss AI Don't do it, Jack.
[The Mammal Pod is raised and Snake is surrounded by soldiers.]
Coldman Drop your weapon, Big Boss.
Strangelove Mammal showed the same response back in the lab.
It's a sure sign that you are nearby.
Coldman It's an honor to meet you again, Big Boss.
Snake I've seen that coyote before.
Coldman Lobo is the name.
Snake Lobo? Smells like a rotting corpse to me
Coldman I know all about you. Tselinoyarsk? 10 years ago?
Snake You were involved...?
Coldman The operation to eliminate the traitor? I planned the
whole thing.
Snake Shouldn't a suit like you be back at Langley? What
the hell are you doing here?
Coldman ...It's what the CIA does best. Ensure people in the
know keep thier mouths shut, or else pack them off
someplace where there's no one to listen.
Snake I get it. You're trying to claw your back into
their good graces.
Coldman It's not quite that simple. My aim is...a new world
order. Detente, The NPT, SALT, TTBT... ever since the
Cuban Missile Crisis, the structure of the Cold War
has been coming apart at the seams. A new age is
dawning, an age in which Peace Walker, an infallible
nuclear deterrent system with the patience and cold
logic of a machine will play a vital role.
Snake That's your plan? Assigning humanity's sins to a
bunch of machines?
Coldman Hmph. Quite the romantic. Remember during the Cuban
Missile Crisis, when the commander of a Russian sub
refused an order to launch a nuclear-armed torpedo at
an American destroyer? In retrospect, that man was a
hero. He saved the world from all-out nuclear war.
Humans are incapable of destroying themselves.
Snake ...But an A.I. wouldn't hesitate to push the button.
Coldman Precisely, making it the one real deterrent.
Snake People hesitate, lose their nerve. Isn't that why
deterrence theory works in the 1st place?
Coldman No. Machines don't make mistakes. Only men do. That's
why a fully automated, mechanized deterrent like Peace
Walker is needed. Once our system is embraced, Langley
will again turn it's attention to Latin America as the
cockpit of the New Cold War. Honduras, Nicaragua,
Costa Rica, Panama... Peace Walker will be deployed
along Central America's entire Caribbean coast. All of
North America, South America and the West Indees will
be within it's range. We'll bring law and order to the
entire continent.
Snake And you'll still be calling the shots.
Coldman Hmph...you still don't get it. The age of heroes is
over. Buried alongside The Boss and her bankrupt
beliefs. From now on, our only heroes will be machines.
Surely no one understands that better than you? Except
perhaps your partner. A deterrent for hire. An army
without borders. You've invented a new system too and
an admirable one at that.
Snake That supposed to be an offer?
Coldman I'm not offering anything. If I'm to sell my new system,
you and your men have got to go.
Strangelove Wait! Coldman. I have questions for him - information
critical to the completion of the Mammal Pod. Give him
to me.
Coldman Hmph...Don't waste too much time. We've just recieved
word that the SALT-II talks are on schedule. We will
launch on time.
Strangelove Snake, you are going to help me resurrect her.
Snake SHUT UP! THE BOSS IS DEAD!
Strangelove Bring him.
[Snake is knocked out and dragged away.]
Coldman Take him away.
[Another flashback to Operation Snake Eater.]
The Boss I didn't defect. I'm loyal to the end to my purpose.
What about you Jack? What's it going to be?
Loyalty to you country or loyalty to me?
Your country or your old mentor? Your mission or your
beliefs? Your duty to your unit or your personal
feelings?
The only thing we can believe in with absolute
certainty... Is the mission Jack.
[Dr. Strangelove throws a bucket of water on Snake to wake him up.
Snake awakes to find himself in an torture chamber.]
Strangelove Rise and Shine. Coldmans' greed does not concern me.
I'm only interested in one thing. The Truth. I'm a
scientist - an AI developer but not an AI myself. I'm
a scientist and as a scientist I find this distasteful.
You understand? I'm a scientist and I expect answers
that make sense.
Now. What do you know? Your Boss defected from the U.S.
taking a Davy Crockett with her. And used it to launch
a Nuclear strike on Soviet territory.
That much I know from The CIA's official debriefing.
... Did she defect or not! Answer me. Did she or did she
not die for her country?
Snake ...She sold us out. My orders were to take care of her.
Strangelove Liar! I want to know the truth! Brace yourself.
This is a laughing rod.
The electrical charge that is emitted will directly
stimulate your ascending nerve pathways.
Snake Tickling for answers... How original...
Strangelove Hmpf...
I'm sure you've been trained to withstand pain...
But how about this?
Snake ... You hate me? Fine. Do whatever you want. Doesn't
change the fact I killed her!
Strangelove I know that... But what I don't know is your motive.
Why would a Hero - loyal to the end - betray her country?!
What really happened?! What did you see?!
Snake ... She betrayed more than just her country she betrayed
me too.
Strangelove Then how do you explain that bandana? Why keep a memento
of a traitor...?
Snake ... What are you talking about...?
Strangelove And what about that scar?! Don't tell me you have the same
scars by sheer coincidence!
Snake Don't touch me!
Strangelove Decorating your body with her memory...
Rather effeminate if you ask me.
Snake ...
Strangelove ... Answer me! Admit it! She sacrificed her life for America
didn't she?! Sacrificed all for a country that cared nothing
for her soul or for her dignity and you...!
Yes I do hate you. But even you must understand how I feel...
I have a right to know what she died for!
Why won't you tell me? You're no longer one of Washington's
lapdogs. You've no moral obligation to your country.
Answer me!
Would you see your beloved Boss brought back to life?!
Then say it. Say she died for America!
That she remained true to the end. Gave her life for the
country that betrayed her time and again!
Snake ... No... That woman...
... Was a traitor!
Strangelove Why...
For what purpose...?
Snake ... She went to her grave cursing her country.
Strangelove Why?!
Who is it?!
What are you protecting?!
Snake I'm not helping you finish that thing! Face it! The Boss
is dead! Whatever's inside that machine it isn't her!
Strangelove I'm raising the voltage your next laugh will be your last!
Hmmph...
Looks like I overdid it...
{Torture Chamber}
Guard Don't be getting any ideas!
Miller (Radio) Couldn't you unlock that door somehow?
Guard Next!? Bring 'em in!
Miller (Radio) Use the jigsaw by alternating between the L and R
buttons. Just make sure to keep it down.
[Codec]
Miller Snake...
Snake Yeah...
Miller It's good to hear your voice again.
Snake Kaz, how about something a little sharper
next time.
Miller You got it. How about a diamond-bladed jigsaw?
And, ah, when's the "next time" gonna be,
anyway?
Sorry! Hey, you OK?
Snake Yeah... Lungs taste like charcoal.
Miller No smoking for you for a while, huh?
Snake Nah, I'll be fine. The pain in my chest is
gone...
Miller So, that was just a copy of The Boss' wound?
Snake That's right. The scar's gone now.
Miller Nice work.
Snake What's the situation with you? Everyone OK?
Miller Yeah... But there's a slight problem. I can't get
a hold of Paz.
Snake Paz? I thought the "professor" was looking after her?
Miller So did I. Here's the deal.
I started thinking, and I sent someone over to the
"school" the "professor" mentioned.
Snake ...And the "school" doesn't exist?
Miller No, it exists, but Paz has been a no-show.
The person at the school said neither the "professor"
nor Paz had been seen there in quite some time.
Snake ...Coldman knew about us. We've been marked by the CIA.
The KGB and Paz brought us into all this. Coldman must
know about them, too.
Miller You think... Coldman's got them...?
Snake No. Remember, Galvez isn't some pencil-pusher.
Miller Yeah... The KGB'll have eyes on Coldman night and day,
too.
Which could mean they knew what the CIA would try to do
and are just staying out of sight...
Snake Let's hope so. See what you can get out of the KGB, Kaz.
Miller All right. Back to work.
Snake I'd better get moving.
Miller Snake, we haven't detected any signs that Peace Walker's
been activated, at least from above.
It's still in the hanger you were in earlier.
This time, it's really our last chance.
Destroy that AI!
Snake On my way.
{AI Weapon Hanger}
Miller (Radio) Time's running short.
Get over to Peace Walker's hanger now.
Cécile (Radio) So now your goal's to destroy Peace Walker's AI pod.
...Right?
Huey (Radio) That must be the control panel for loading AI pods.
I don't see any AI pods around, though...
{Underground Passage A}
Miller (Radio) Enemies that coordinate their attacks are too much
trouble when you're solo. Just steer clear.
{Underground Passage B}
Miller (Radio) Alright, Peace Walker can't be far! Hurry!

[After reaching Peace Walker's hanger Snake sees Dr. Strangelove, and
Coldman holding Paz hostage.]
Coldman Its too late Big Boss.
Paz Snake...
Snake Paz...!
Coldman At last I found her. The culprit who you here to begin
with. Should have taken care of her back at the supply
facility.
Paz Snake, don't...
Coldman The Mammal Pod is finished Peace Walker's activation
sequence is complete.
Snake Finished..?
Stranglove With The Boss you were loyal to the end I'll grant you
that. But your silence was exactly the answer I needed.
Ten years ago your mission was to kill her and her
mission was to be killed by you. She fulfilled her duty
to America to the very end. Thanks to you Snake the
final missing piece is now in place.
And thus The Boss is restored to life as The Mammal Pod.
I thank you.
Snake Restored to life...? You're crazy.
Coldman I'll let you in on a little secret Big Boss you see I've
already selected Peace Walker's initial target.
An offshore area in the Caribbean. The trade winds will
scatter the fallout all over the surrounding region.
Crops and fish will die leaving plenty of free hands to
help mass-produce Peace Walker.
Oho... And wouldn't you know, someone's gone and built a
pesky little fortress there now who would do that? And
right in the middle of the Target Zone, too. Oh well all
the better to test the warheads' CEP.
Snake You bastard...
Coldman I wonder who'll miss a ragtag band of pirates all the way
out in the middle of the Caribbean...?
But first... We're going to prove to the White House that
our baby can travel the Caribbean coast on its own. The
whole world will know of Peace Walker's versatility.
They'll witness the birth of a deterrent that can
penetrate both communist and guerilla-controlled territory
traverse any kind of terrain... And Deliver a nuke anywhere
it needs to go.
Untouchable. Unstoppable. The perfect deterrent.
Snake The Cold War's days are numbered. Deterrence isn't only about
America and Russia now.
Coldman You know what? You are absolutely right. While we've been
wringing our hands, China, France - Even India - have
surpassed us. There's a free-for-all Nuclear arms race brewing
just below the surface.
The nuclear threat will only spread which is exactly why we
must deter it here and now. And The Peace Walker Project is the
key.
The Advent of Peace Walker will bring calm to this restless
world. Don't you see, Snake? We need Nukes - Controlled Nukes
- to have peace.
Paz Lies!
Coldman Peace Walker will restore order - order in the form of a New
Cold War. But if the world is to understand the genius of our
plan we must launch.
Paz Snake!
Miller Stop them Snake!
Don't let 'em get away!
[Snake enters a maintenance hatch, that leads to the
Mine Pit; as he exits the lift Peace Walker is on
emerges.]
[Peace Walker Fail-Deadly AI-Controlled Walking Tank]
Huey Ah, Snake!
Snake What? What did I do?
Peace Walker Self-defense system online.
Huey Snake, the pod's outfitted with a self-defense
module. Upon detecting attack, it aborts its command
and enters small-target suppression mode.
Right now, Peace Walker's highest priority target
is you.
Here it comes!
[Peace Walker proves to be the greatest advasary for Snake
using The Boss's tactics against him. A series of well
times attacks finally bring Peace Walker down.]
Peace Walker Lock disengaged.
Switching to self-defense mode.
[Peace Walker is fired on by an assault chopper causing it to
halt its resumed attack on Snake. It changes into a crawler like
weapon system: Peace Walker Fail-Deadly AI-Controlled Walking
Tank.]
Coldman Over here!
[Snake takes off in pursuit of Peace Walker and the fleeing
chopper on horseback.]
Miller There it is! It's Still in range!
Huey Peace Walker's estimated top speed on level terrain
is 25 miles an hour.
Snake C'Mon I'll bet you can do at least 20.
Miller Paz is on board the Hind too.
Snake I noticed that.
Miller She's our client. We have to protect her. Snake
don't let Peace Walker get away!
Coldman The day is dawning... Go!
Miller Snake you're entering the woods watch out!
Boss AI GO HOME!
Pilot Approaching the border.
Coldman See you around Big Boss.
Miller Holy... Look at that!
Snake thats the border up ahead!
[Snake races up the mountain on horseback; he almost reaches the top
when his horse trips sends the horse crashing to the ground while
Snake grabbed a ledge in the nick of time.]
Snake damit...
[Snake begins his ascent up the mountain. When he reaches the top he
sees that Peace Walker has allready entered the water. He looks
skyward and sees the Hind in the distance.]
Snake Hang in there...!
[Codec]
Miller Snake...
Snake Kaz, Peace Walker's gone... They've got Paz,
too.
Miller Yeah, but...
Snake Why, Kaz? What would Coldman want with Paz?
Miller Paz was with the "professor", ie., the KGB.
Once Coldman discovered that, he figured out what
was really going on between Paz and Galvez.
Snake He's trying to figure out how the KGB plan to
stop Peace Walker, and he thinks he can get the
info from Paz.
Miller That's crazy! Paz won't know anything.
Snake Yeah, well, he probably doesn't buy that.
Miller ...You think Galvez has already been killed? By
grabbing Paz, Coldman's saying...
Snake "Stay out of this, or lose your client."
Miller Dammit! I can't believe we didn't realize what was
going on before we lost contact with Paz.
Snake Don't have time for that, Kaz.
Miller Snake...
Snake Paz needs our help.
Miller Right. This isn't about money anymore. You better
move. We know where they're headed.
Snake Yeah?
Miller You can thank Amanda.
Amanda Snake, that river you chased the basilisco across
is the Rio San Juan. The other side is our country.
I had some Nicaraguan compas track it there.
They're focos from the GPP (Guerra Popular Prolongada)
faction, so we don't work together so much...
Snake Where'd it go?
Amanda West, along the boarder, towards Lago Cocibolca.
Miller There's a U.S. military supply base on the southeastern
shore of the lake.
Ever since that earthquake two years ago, America's had
the entire region to itself.
Amanda That is where the basilisco is. I'm sure of it.
Snake Lago Cocibolca... How do I get across the border?
Amanda There's a route that we use to cross.
It's just a little boat, but I can introduce you to the
captain.
Snake I appreciate it.
Amanda We will never leave Nicaragua at the mercy of someone
like William Walker again.
Miller Snake, Coldman's going to launch the nuke from that base.
He's targeting MSF.
Based on what Huey's told us, it'll take two more days
to prep for launch.
...But it looks like there's another reason they picked
that date.
Snake What's that?
Miller Tomorrow is day one of a U.S.-Soviet summit in Vladivostok.
The launch is probably connected somehow.
Snake That's right... They're holding the SALT-II (Strategic Arms
Limitation Treaty) talks.
Miller You think Coldman's trying to disrupt the negotiations?
Snake Either that, or use it as a bargaining chip...
Miller He's still got Paz, too. At any rate, we're running out
of time.
Snake I'll figure something out.
November 23, 1974
Rio San Juan, Costa Rica/Nicaraguan Border
Amanda Take the gondola west along the river when you reach
the northwestern bank you're in Nicaragua. I've
arranged for a guide to get you close.
Chico Snake...
Snake Chico?
Chico Sorry about the horse. It sure was pretty.
[Another flashback to Operation Snake Eater.]
The Boss Life's end... Isn't it beautiful? It's Almost tragic.
I've been waiting Snake. For a long time.
Snake Boss...
The Boss There is nothing more for me to give you. All that's
left for you to take is my life.
... By your own hand.
One must die and one must live. No victory No Defeat.
The survivor will carry on the fight.
The one who survives will inherit the title of Boss.
Kill me... Kill me now...
There's only room for one Boss...
And one Snake...
Eva The Boss's defection was a ruse set up by the US
Government. But then something happened that no
one could have predicted.
Colonel Volgin fired an American-Made Nuclear Warhead
at Sokolov's research facility. So the Operation itself
was greatly expanded and revised.
The authorities in Washington knew that in order to
prove their innocence they'd have to get rid of The
Boss... The Boss wouldn't be allowed to come back home
alive.
And she wouldn't be allowed to kill herself. Her life
would be ended by her most beloved disciple... That was
the way that the government wanted it. That was the
mission she was given.
The Taint of disgrace will follow her to her grave.
Future generations will revile her.
In America as a dispicable traitor with no sense of
honor... And in Russia as a monster who unleashed a
Nuclear Catastrophe...
She will go down in history as a war criminal...
That... Was her final mission.
Snake history will never know what she did. No one will
ever learn the truth.
Her story... Her Debriefing... Will endure only in
your heart.
Everything she did she did for her country. She
sacrificed her life and her honor for her native land.
She was a Real hero. She was a True Patriot.

CHAPTER 4: THE ILLUSION OF PEACE
November 23, 1974
U.S. Missile Base, Southeastern shore of Nicaragua
Snake Something's not right... Gate guard doesn't
look too bad...
Miller What do you think?
Snake Gonna need some help.
[Snake enters the Missile Base inside a box loaded on a truck.]
Snake This is Snake can you hear me?
Miller This is Miller. Loud and clear.
Snake Got in without a hitch.
Miller Good, there's an airfield on the other-side of
the building - on the Northwestern shore of the
lake. That's where they'll conduct the launch.
There's a communications tower in front of you.
We think that's where Peace Walker is being
controlled from.
Snake Kaz. They're targeting Mother Base. Don't you
think you should evacuate?
Miller Nah... Everybody here believes in you, Boss.
Snake Alright, Fine then I've kinda gotten attached to
the place myself. What about Amanda and her people?
Miller They've been taken to safety. We can't involve them
in this any further.
Snake Good. They've got their own cause to fight for.
Miller And Snake... Don't forget the bad guys've got Paz.
Snake I won't.
Miller We're prepping a few backup units. Don't Let 'em
launch Snake we're counting on you!
{Back Gate}
Miller (Radio) See the communications tower
to the west? Head for that,
snake.
Miller (Radio) Soviet Soldiers? On an american
base?
Something's wrong here. Keep
your eyes peeled, boss.
Miller (Radio) Head for the communications
tower. It's to your west.

Paz I'm not sure. I don't recognize it.
Snake What about Coldman?
Paz He just left for the control
tower... said something about
entering the final data.
[SFX - Alarm]
Paz What is the matter?
Snake They found me...!
Miller Snake!
Snake Kaz?
Miller Snake you Ok? All MSF's ready to
move out. They're headed your
way. On the double.
Snake Are you serious?
Miller There's a skeleton crew manning the base. Everyone else
is enroute to the base in Nicaragua. Snake, think you
can make it to that control tower?
Snake Not sure why, but this place is crawling with Russian
troops. I'm going to have to force my way through.
Miller What the hell's going on?
Snake Damned if I know.
Miller Get over there quick as you can. You're almost there.
Snake. Stay steady!
Paz Snake...
Snake I'm coming Paz.
Paz Don't worry about me... I'm an Angel of peace.
I'll be watching over you.
Snake Here goes nothing!
{Rooftop}
Miller (Radio) The control tower that's controlling peace walker is
located to the northeast.
Go back east the way you came. Then head north from
there.
{Small Maintenance Dock}
Miller (Radio) Your objective lies beyond the gate.
{Main Maintenance Dock}
Miller (Radio) This terrain leaves you completely exposed.
Can't you make something to conceal yourself?
Miller (Radio) RPGs... This could be trouble.

Paz Snake!
Coldman Big Boss. You made it. Too Late Though
the False data's already in place.
Snake False Data?
Coldman That's right. Peace Walker is designed
for deterrence nothing more. She is
incapable of initiating a nuclear attack
on her own.
She will only awaken and attack. When
its time to retailiate. Peace Walker is
a weapon of peace. After all.
First we'll enter data for an imaginary
Soviet nuclear Strike on the U.S.
Homeland...
After assessing the data as a threat.
Peace Walker will automatically enter
retaliation mode. Selecting the optimal
target from a pre-defined list...
For this scenario we've reverse-engineered
the false data so that she'll inevitably
end up choosing the caribbean sea as her
target.
Snake You're really going to do it aren't you?
Coldman Know this Peace Walker's retaliation will be
the first and last of the Cold War.
It is the only way we'll ever come close to
achieving true peace... All that's left is to
enter the code.
Snake No!
Gálvez Stand down. Big Boss.
Coldman You're late.
Snake ... Professor?
Paz ...Professor?
Gálvez Yes. Well... Taking over the base took longer
than expected.
Coldman Wha--!
Gálvez I brought the technology. You provided the
money and land. TSENTR alone could never have
accomplished so much in so little time.
Coldman Zadornov you backstabbing son of a..!
Gálvez Backstabbing? Correct me if I'm wrong but were
we not enemies all along?
Did you really think my comrades were working
for the company?
Did you truly think we'd faithfully serve a pack
of depraved capitalist dogs?
Coldman What are you going to do?
Gálvez Launch a Nuke...
Target: Cuba.
Coldman Have you lost your mind?! What would you
possibly gain?
Gálvez We won't be the ones launching it. You, The
Americans will attack our ally, Cuba.
Coldman What?!
Gálvez Think, Coldman. We're on an American base,
eagerly endorsed and supplied by a Pro-American
regime. What's the internatinal community to
think?
The world will burn with Anti-American sentiment!
Communism will spread across Latin America unchecked.
Let the Age of Deterrence be Undone by the Deterrent
Itself - such is the Kremlin's plan.
Coldman You son of a bitch...
Gálvez Paz come here... Shoot him.
Paz Professor Galvez...?
Gálvez Hm... I am Vladimir Zadornov. And Vladimir means
"Ruler of Peace." Now do as you're told Paz.
Coldman Don't do it.
Gálvez Remember what they did to you at their base on
the coast... For what Coldman's done... he
deserves nothing less than death.
Coldman Paz... I... I'm sorry...
Paz I cannot...
Gálvez Truly a child of peace...
Coldman No wait!
[SFX Gun Shot]
Gálvez Only fitting that retribution be delivered by a
Dead Hand.
Coldman You... You missed on purpose...
Gálvez Your part in this isn't done. I need you to enter
the code.
Doctor the target is now Cuba Please make the
necessary modifications.
And don't even think of resisting I'll crush you
but only after I crush your beloved first.
Strangelove No, not that...
Gálvez Cuba is now the retaliation target.
Strangelove ... Very well.
Gálvez Good it is done. As for you Big Boss... I've been
watching you all along.
You've performed beyond even my highest expectations
- A True Commandante.
Snake What are you talking about?
Gálvez Why do you think I summoned you to Costa Rica had you
make contact with the Sandinistas?
A true intelligence operative never gets his hands
dirty. Need a revolution? Manipulate the locals
into doing it for you.
Snake You mean... Amanda?! And The Sandinistas...!
Gálvez You've done well you took a ragtag band of Guerillas
- children - and shaped them into a full-fledged,
formidable army.
And now, you'll truly become our century's most
complete human being!
Coldman ... Che Guevara?
Gálvez None other. A hero who gunned down by the CIA becomes
a Legendary Icon.
The Sandinistas will rise up in revenge overthrowing
the Pro-American regime and wresting Nicaragua from
U.S. hands.
And the nuclear strike on Cuba naturally will be the
last straw.
Soldier Mammal Pod data entry is complete.
Gálvez Dead at age 39... Just like El Che.
... Ironic isn't it?
In the end. a legend is merely fiction.
You'll die as The Boss did and become as did she. An
Eternal Fraud.
[Just as Galvez is about to kill Snake MSF and the Sandinistas charge
into the control room in a hail of gun-fire into the room.]
Amanda Ivenceremos!
Chico Freeze!
Gálvez You dare point your gun at a comrade?!
Amanda We will not be pawns of the KGB. We'll win our
own victory!
Chico Ihasta La Victoria
Siempre!
Soldier Amanda!
We're home! Look we're back in NICA! We did it Amanda
- I mean.
Comandante!
Soldier Boss are you hurt...?
Snake I'm fine.
Amanda Vic Boss!
Soldiers Vic Boss -- Vic Boss -- Vic Boss! Vic Boss!
Vic Boss! Vic Boss! Vic Boss! Vic Boss!
Snake You're a regular Joan of Arc.
Amanda None sense you're the hero here.
Snake You saved my life. you're the hero here.
Amanda Heh. I never figured you for a softie Snake.
[Outside the base Miller and Snake discuss what to do with Galvez and
Coldman; while MSF choppers return to Mother Base.]
Snake Thanks. It's good to see you.
Miller Paz can stay with us until she's back on her feet.
Snake And the professor?
Miller We'll find him a nice comfy cell. Coldman's lost a
lot of blood. He may not make it...
Snake Where's Amanda?
Miller Back with her compas. She'll catch up later. How about
you Snake...?
Snake I'm not done yet.
Miller The AI?
Snake I have to finish this. That Boss is a fake and I'm
gonna bury it.
Miller We'll save the champagne until you get back. May as well
celebrate Peace... While it lasts.
Strangelove I didn't bring her back to life because I was forced to.
I wanted to know how she really felt... How it really
ended.
Snake The Boss is dead.
Strangelove No. She's Alive.
Snake Some truths are better left buried.
Strangelove You don't mean that. Be honest. You want to know too
don't you? Wether what you saw and heard at the end
was the truth? She'll tell us. I know she will.
Thank you for stopping them.
And... I'm sorry.
I can't imagine how it hurt.
Snake ...I'll live.
I'm used to shock therapy.
Strangelove You are?
Well... That's very kind of you to say.
Let's go meet her, shall we? Get in...
...Boss.
[MSF Chopper]
Miller Don't pick up a gun unless you know how to use it. Aiming
a weapon alone doesn't make it a deterrent. You're The
Angel of Peace. Leave the guns to us. That was our
agreement remember?
The army's leaving Costa Rica now. The mission is
complete. Paz?
Paz ... Thank you.
[While Miller and Paz are talking Coldman stirs and
opens The Football and inputs the launch code.]
Miller ... What's that Noise?
[Miller turns around and grabs The Football]
Miller What'd he do..?!
Gálvez I should have killed you when I had the chance!
Coldman ... NORAD's nightmare is about to begin.
Miller What?
Coldman Peace Walker... Determines retaliation targets...
Based on enemy nuclear strike data...
That data... can be sent... to third parties as
well...
Miller We got big problems Snake. Coldman's activated the Nuclear
Launch Switch!
Snake What?!
And the target's Cuba?
Miller Yeah. But that's not it That son of a bitch has screwed
us all over.
Coldman When Peace Walker was activated it started transmitting
false data set to NORAD.
It's using a spread spectrum MLF Signal... It can't be
blacked out even by EMP.
Miller There's no way to tell the difference between false data
and the real thing on a radar screen.
NORAD will have no idea it's all a ruse generated by Peace
Walker.
They're gonna think it's a real Soviet attack.
They'll pass the data onto the National Military Command
Center...
Snake And Washington will have to choose whether or not to
retaliate.
Miller This could get ugly! Unless we stop it... We're looking at
a retaliatory chain-reaction!
Coldman No... No need to panic. The nightmare will end soon enough.
Miller What do you mean?
Gálvez Coldman's aim is for the buraucrat's in Washington to see
the importance of a machine like Peace Walker.
... He's trying to prove that humans don't have the will to
launch Nukes.
Coldman Everything will be fine. They'll never retaliate. They're
only human...
Snake Kaz. Where's the President?
Miller ... Last I heard he was in the middle of SALT II negotiations
in Vladivostok.
Snake With the president gone. Nuclear launch authority passes to
the next person in the chain of succession.
Miller The Vice President's gone too. so after him comes the
speaker...
Coldman ... President, Vice President... Not one among them has the
courage to push the button. No one willing to enter history
as The Great Destroyer.
In the end it's not their lives that people value most...
it's their reputations!
Strangelove The bureaucrats in Washington may not be able to retaliate.
Peace Walker on the other hand...
She's loyal to the misssion above all. And she's well aware
that guaranteed retaliation is essential for Nuclear
Deterrence to work.
Coldman Peace Walker is the perfect deterrent.
Cuba would not have been my choice of targets... But you can't
make Peace without breaking a few eggs.
Now that Peace Walker has the false data... Retaliation is
inevitable.
Miller Are you insane? You think it'll end there?! You're about to
unleash all-out nuclear war!
Snake Somebody find out what's going on at NORAD!
Strangelove Mammal's got a connection to NORAD. We could monitor it with
the right equipment.
Huey I've got you covered. I've got NORAD on the line.

[Nicaragua, US Missile Base]
Snake Cut the data transmission! We can't say for sure Washington
isn't going to retaliate!
Coldman The only one who knows... The abort code... Is me... I die...
And no one can turn it off...
Even if they do strike back... I'll already... be dead...
I can only pray... That my theory... My peace... Is proven
right...

Miller The false data and the nukes are coming from the same
source... We have to stop Peace Walker!
Strangelove The only way is to destroy her.
Snake She's entered launch mode.
Strangelove Peace Walker's rendered her Judgment. The target is Cuba!
Miller Snake don't let it launch the nuke!
[After defeating peace walker snake snake is aprised

{MSF - Mother Base}
Huey Peace Walker is a fully autonomous system.
Unlike the other machines you've fought, it's command
authorities are all located inside it cereberum, the
mammal pod.
{Nicaragua, U.S. Missile Base}
Strangelove We've got to stop the mammal pod...!
I don't have the abort code either, Coldman was the only
one...
Miller Snake destroy the AI inside the mammal pod!
{MSF - Mother Base}
Huey The inner barrier protecting the mammal pod is designed
to be as strong as a bomb shelter.
{Nicaragua, U.S. Missile Base}
Snake What's it gonna take to get through?
{MSF - Mother Base}
Huey I... I guess an atomic bomb would do it...
{Nicaragua, U.S. Missile Base}

[MSF - Mother Base]
Huey The platforms sustained a lot of external damage... All we
need is some pressure...
{Nicaragua, U.S. Missile Base}
Miller Pressure?
{MSF - Mother Base}
Huey Sink it in the lake. With that much water pressure even the
tiniest crack should be enough to flood the innards.
The AI Pod is a mass of highly sensitive electronics. Short
the contacts and the signal will stop.
{Nicaragua, U.S. Missile Base}
Miller How much does that thing weigh?
{MSF - Mother Base}
Huey 500 Tons.
{Nicaragua, U.S. Missile Base}

{The Pentagon}
Congressman #1 Sir we've got a call!
Mr. Chairman The President?!
Congressman #1 No sir.
Mr. Chairman Then who?
Congressmaan #1 He, um...
Mr. Chairman Spit it out!
Congressman #1 He claims to be... Big Boss.
Mr. Chairman Big Boss? Patch him through!
Snake Mr. Chairman. I'll get straight to
the point. Cancel the retaliatory
strike now!
Mr. Chairman What?
Snake The radar blips you're seeing are
all fakes. No one's launched any
nukes.
Mr. Chairman How do you know?
Snake The launch data is fake part of an
experiment that leaked. You weren't
supposed to recieve it. Your radar
is showing missiles that don't
exist.
Mr. Chairman If you're lying then we've got 10
minutes til we're toast. We have
to retaliate or more Americans
die.
Snake The experiment was planned and
executed by the CIA's Station
Chief in Central America.
Mr. Chairman Then put him on!
Snake He's dead. I can give you his
name though.
Mr. Chairman We need more than the authentication
code you gave the switchboard. We
need proof you're actually Big Boss.
Do you have any?
Snake Ok... If you know the name Big
Boss... Then maybe you were there...
At the ceremony... When I recieved
the title from President Johnson.
Mr. Chairman Indeed I was...
Congressman #3 We don't have time for this
bullshit!
Mr. Chairman Hold it? Let's hear him out. You
were saying?
Snake At the ceremony the DCI tried to
shake my hand I refused. What
happened in that room is Classified
Top Secret. Only a handful of people
would know.
Congressman #1 He's making it up! Don't listen to
him!
Mr. Chairman Wait! Why did you refuse to shake
his hand?
Snake Because I knew where my loyalty
belonged.
Mr. Chairman Everybody. Listen to me! Those
Soviet Missiles are Fakes!
Congressman #3 What?! You're actually going to
believe him?
Congressman #5 He's right! This is some sort of
Commie Trick!
Mr. Chairman No its the real Big Boss. Trust me.
Congressman #3 How can you know for sure?!
Mr. Chairman Because I was the army Chief of
Staff back then. And I was standing
right next to the DCI when it
happened. I saw everything. You've
saved us all Big Boss. We'll stand
down the alert.
Snake Thank you.
Mr. Chairman When we meet again I hope you'll
shake my hand.
[A Member of Congress pulls a gun on The Chairman.]
Mr. Chairman What are you doing?!
Congressman #3 Sorry Chairman but we're not standing
down!
Snake Dammit...!
Miller Those worthless sacks of...
Snake Wait...

Jack...
Strangelove Its opening...?
She's calling to you...
Miller Destroy the mammal pod and the data
will stop flowing!
Strangelove Please, stop her...
[Peace Walker AI Pod]
The Boss AI I've been waiting, Snake, for a long time.
Waiting for your birth, your growth, and
the finality of today.
Snake Boss...
The Boss AI I didn't raise you and shape you into the
man you are today just so we could face
each other in battle. A soldier's skills
aren't meant to be used to hurt friends.
So then what is an enemy? Is there such a
thing as an absolute timeless enemy? There
is no such thing and never has been. And
the reason is that our enemies are human
beings like us.
They can only be our enemies in relative
terms. The world must be made whole again.
The Philosophers must be reunited. I will
devote my skills to that purpose. And with
the Colonel's money, I will achieve that
end.
Just as I once created the Cobras. They
are my family.
I may no longer be able to bear children
but I still have a family.

Congressman #3 ... Wait. Authority rests with me
now. I'm ordering a retaliation.
Mr. Chairman No. Don't! Its the end of us all!
Congressmen Who gives a damn?! I'm not gonna
sit here and die like a dog!
If the Russians are gonna kill my
family and destroy my country I'm
taking them with me!
Congressman #3 You see now Chairman? Deterrence
is just a fool's dream.
{Nicaragua, U.S. Missile Base}

Strangelove A Ghost in the Machine...?
She's drowing herself to

[NORAD]
Man Look!
{MSF - Mother Base}
Huey Its functional compensation. When the
human brain is damaged sometimes it
recovers over time. Other parts of the
brain take over the functions of the
damaged parts.
Mammal and Reptile were patterened after
different parts of the Human Brain. When
those parts were assembled together into
one, they must've become capable of
functional compensation...
{Nicaragua, U.S. Missile Base}
Strangelove Her memories remained with her...
Is this her answer? This song?
{MSF - Mother Base}
Huey It's clearly not thinking rationally...
It's not using its head... It's using...
Its heart?
{Nicaragua, U.S. Missile Base}
Strangelove This is the fate she chose for herself.
Miller The Boss's innocence has been proven...
Do you hear it Snake?
Do you hear The Boss's song?
Strangelove You saw it didn't you when you went to
space... That there's beauty outside of
battle.
At last I understand in the end... It
was you who put down your gun... And
chose instead to sing...
They can all hear you... I know they can...
And your will shall surely live on.
That's what you wanted... So much that you
gave up everything you had... But you
couldn't achieve it.
Isn't that right? And still all you can do
is sing.
There's no Peace to be found anywhere. And
so we can only keep on Hoping... Hoping for
the illusion we call peace.

Miller Got a sec, Snake?
Snake What's up?
Miller It's about Paz. You know, she
doesn't have any family. She
got a scholarship thanks to
Zadornov, and was living at
the dorms... But he was KGB.
All signs are her scholarship
came from the KGB, too. Even
if they let him go, she's not
going to be seeing any more
money.
Snake It wouldn't have been much
anyway.
Miller So I was wandering, what about
letting her stay here a while?
Snake What does she think?
Miller She says she wants to help out.
It would only be temporary.
She's still in shock. Right now,
no one understands her better
than we do.
Snake OK. But Kaz, don't take your eyes
off her.
Miller What do you mean?
Snake It won't be easy getting used to
this kind of life.
Miller I know, Snake. I'm not trying to
turn her into one of us. You should
talk to her yourself later.
Snake OK.
Miller And, ah, Dr. Strangelove wants to come,
too.
Snake Strangelove?
Miller Well she's out of a job now, and she'd
have a problem returning to England.
You can talk to her about it.
Anyway, you don't need me to tell you
how good she'd be for R&D.

Miller Snake, we've got a problem. Zadornov's
not in his cell.
Snake What?!
Miller He must have used his prosthetic as a
blowtorch to cut through the bars. But
we've managed to narrow down his location
using a transmitter we planted on him.
I'm adding a new mission. Find the KGB
agent Zadornov!
[Zadornov Mission 1]

What kind of guerilla goes around in something
like that?
{Bananal Fruta de Oro: Sorting Shed}
Paz (Radio) You often see Idomeneus Giant Owl butterflies
around banana plantations. They're considered a
pest, since the larvae eat banana leaves.
Very classy. We should throw a party once this

Huey Snake, I'm proud to announce that
preparations for Metal Gear ZEKE
are complete.
We can activate it any time.
Snake Got it. Thanks, Huey.
Huey No need to thank me.
At least now I can finally say I
helped you with something. You can
use it in Outer Ops, too.
Just select ZEKE when you're forming
your unit. Be sure to take it out
for a field test.
Snake OK.
Huey You can change weapons and check
memory boards just like before. Use
your observations from a field test
to make any adjustments.
Snake A work in progress, huh?
Miller There's something I need to discuss
with you, Boss...
Snake Get to the point, Kaz.
Miller We recovered the nuclear warhead that
was loaded onto Peace Walker from the
bottom of Lago Cocibolca.
Snake What?
Miller Warheads are radioactive, even if
they're reletively stable.
If we just left it there it would
contaminate the lake, or fall into the
hands of terrorists...
Snake ...Creating another crisis.
Miller Right. So while the White House is
figuring out how to cover its ass,
I thought we'd take some precautions.
Snake What did you have in mind?
Miller Load it onto ZEKE.
Snake What?
Miller What else would we do with it? ZEKE is
our deterent.
To protect ourselves from nuclear attack,
we need a nuclear weapon ourselves.
Of course, if you're not on board, we
could always dispose of it. But it won't
be easy getting another nuke. This is a
golden opportunity.
...We could always get rid of it later -
load it onto some fishing boat and leave
it out in the middle of the ocean.
No one would ever know it's there.
But if you want to get rid of it, Boss,
we'll get rid of it.
Snake No... Don't. As long as there are nukes out
there, we need one ourselves if we're going
to be a world power.
Miller I knew you'd see it that way, Boss!
So long as we stand apart from nations, we
need something to put us on equal footing.
In a way, MSF is a country itself.
And we just became the world's seventh
nuclear power.
Snake Nuclear power...

Zadornov
Big Boss!
[Zadornov is caught trying to escape by Snake not wanting
to be thrown back into his cell again Zadornov opens fire
on Snake.]
Zadornov My work is done...
Snake What are you talking about?
Zadornov "V for Victory"
Rocket Peace!
[Zadornov's last attack before dying even fails to hit its
target.]
Snake Kaz, I found Zadornov. I had to kill him.
Miller (Radio) Huh... So much for our fugitive...
Snake Something's not right here.
I'm thinking he had a friend.
Miller (Radio) ...Someone inside MSF... huh?!
[SFX Alarm]
Snake What's going on?
Miller (Radio) ...It's ZEKE... It's moving!
Snake What?!
Miller (Radio) There's somebody inside, I can see them...
Snake, get up here pronto!
Paz Took you long enough... Big Boss.
Snake Paz...?!
Get down from there before you hurt
somebody.
Paz Maybe I want to hurt somebody...
Miller (Radio) What's going on? She's not herself...
Paz Oh, I am myself all right... my true
self.
[Metal Gear ZEKE General Purpose Bipedal War Machine (Manned)]
Snake Kaz, shut that thing down...
Miller (Radio) I can't, the controls aren't responding.
Snake Then how's it moving?!
Paz I made some modifications...
This machine was meant to have a
human pilot.
Snake Modifications?
Paz, what are you...
Paz Never thought I'd be into machines, huh?
Miller (Radio) Then... Zadornov's escape... was a
diversion!
Snake Paz, what are you doing...?!
Paz I'm taking it back.
Miller (Radio) Taking it back? Where?!
Paz To our leaders...
to Cipher.
Snake Cipher...?!
Paz This weapon is Cipher's creation...
Snake Paz! Get down from there!
Paz Do not call me that!
I'm Pacifica Ocean!
My name, my age, my mission -
Cipher gave them all to me.
My entire life has but one
purpose - to carry out Cipher's
plan.
The nasty tobacco... the "angel
of peace" crap... the whole
"teen with a dream" routine...
I'm through with all of it!
Snake Paz, you can't...
Paz I told you not to call me that!
It makes me want to puke!
Everything has gone exactly as we
planned. Now the real Peace Walker
Project is finally about to reach
its goal.
Snake The... real project?!
Paz Once upon a time. There were two
young men who idolized a hero called
The Boss.
One day, they suddenly lost the point
of origin - The Cipher - that was like
a mother to them.
Unable to come to terms with their
sorrow, they each decided to carry on
the will of their hero.
But they could not agree on what that
meant.
In the end, they became bitter enemies,
and the Zero from which they both started
was split into two.
Snake Huh?
Paz ...And you have been on the wrong path
ever since.
There is no "Happily ever after"
waiting for you in the end. Unlesss...
You obey the will of Cipher!
Where does an Army Without borders call
home? A State Without Borders, of
course... A World Without Borders.
Snake A World Without Borders..?
Paz The Cold War Order is about to collapse.
The age of electronic intelligence is
about to begin.
The NSA, CSS, NRO, DIA,
ET CETERA,
ET CETERA...
The intelligence community that has long
bickered amongst itself will be united in
a world governed by electrons.
Cipher will gather all information,
watching over the world and guiding the
will of its people, all while they remain
blissfully unaware.
There will be no one to oppose them! For
the first time, the world will be ruled by
a Single will!
Until the new order is in place, you and
your army will be the force that protects
it. You will be Cipher's Deterrent, pulling
the wool over the eyes of the old order with
your charisma and military prowess.
Accept our offer, and we will allow you to
retain control of MSF and ZEKE.
Snake That's... An offer?
Paz The Boss threw down her gun, and with it
her life's calling.
You - her disciple - have never been able
to do that. You are too afraid to let go.
Snake I was made to fight.
I am a gun.
Paz Is that so?!
Then what do you call this? Is it a gun
too?
You are a lousy liar!
Admit it - this thing is a monstrosity, a
product of your own fear!
But not Cipher! Cipher thought of something
different. Cipher's going to control guns.
Snake Control Guns?
Paz That is right. Not Deter, control. It is
the ultimate approach to the illusion of
peace...
Snake Control power? You're gonna be disappointed.
Paz Then we are done! Thank you for playing!
Better luck next time.
The offer is rescinded! And now, the
ultimatum. ZEKE is already in nuclear strike
mode.
Snake What...?
Paz I'm taking the weapon you built and using it
to launch a nuclear strike on the east coast
of the United States!
Snake You're insane! What are you after?!
Paz But wait, here is your consolation prize:
we are about to show the world just how dangerous
a gang of outlaws - An Army Without Borders -
can be!
You and your men will become pariahs, and you will
be wiped off the face of the earth. Rather than
heroes, you will be seen as a well-armed, exremist
cult prone to indiscriminate outbursts of nuclear
aggression.
You will give rise to a new world order, an age of
deterrence defined by it's fear of extremist cult
influence.
Do you like the picture I am painting, Big Boss?!
When all is said and done, peace is nothing but a
fantasy! A game's a game! You either win or you lose!
All you can do is fight!
Stop me if you can!
The peace sign is the "V" of Victory!
Say peace!
[Metal Gear ZEKE General Purpose Bipedal War Machine (Manned) Boss Fight]
[Snake defeated ZEKE but...]
Paz It is no use, ZEKE is out of my control...
This is where it ends.
Listen to me, Big Boss... As long as your army is
needed, the world will never know true peace.
The peace you will know will be fleeting - illusory.
They will use you, disgrace you, and then, finally,
discard you like they would a cancer to society.
This is the path you have chosen!
[Paz is shot out of ZEKEs cockpit into the waters of
the caribbean.]
Snake Paz...
[Codec]
Huey Who would have thought that little
girl was working against us...
Snake Tell me about it. She had everybody
fooled. Me included.
I can't believe I didn't pick up on
anything.
Huey Snake, there's no point beating
yourself up over the past.
But hey, maybe you should put in
some practice against ZEKE in case
this sort of thing ever happens again?
In any case, I need to go talk to Dr.
Strangelove.
ZEKE still isn't ready.
Snake Huey!

so... It should be able to walk.
Huey Really... That's good.
Strangelove Beyond that, it's up to the creator...
STOP! Don't come any closer, doctor.
Huey There's something I've been meaning
to ask you... Do you... Do you
despise me?
Strangelove Doctor, are you asking me out?
Huey No No, not at all...
Strangelove No?
Pity... Because I've just had my heart
broken by someone else.
Huey Wh...what?!
Strangelove I only like those who can stand on
their own. If you fancy me, then come
walk with me. Who knows what miracles
might happen?

{Mother Base - Flight Deck}
Miller Snake....
That name Paz mentioned at the end
- "Cipher" - it's code. It means
"empty"... It also means...
Snake "Zero."
Miller A world of electronic intelligence built
on codes. And at the center of it all, a
zero...
Snake Kaz?
Miller Uh, look, Boss...
I owe you an apology.
Here me out, OK?
Snake ...Sure.
Miller I, uh, I knew Paz and the professor...
I knew who they really were, all along.
Snake Kaz...
Miller I used them.
Snake I suppose you were the one who brought
them to Colombia in the first place, huh?
Miller Guilty as charged.
Paz wasn't just CIA, you know.
She was working for the KGB, too.
And for this Cipher group.
In other words, she was a triple agent.
Snake You knew all of this...?!
Miller Wait, let me finish.
Listen, MSF never would have gotten
this big if it weren't for them. This
mercenary business we've built someday,
it's going to be a new driving force
in the world economy.
Snake Was that your goal all along?
Miller ... The Cold War's not going to last
forever. Sooner or later, it's going
to give way to an era of regional
conflicts and terrorism.
A paradigm shift from counter-Communism
to counter-terrorism.
In the new age, armies won't be tied to
states, and war will become a business.
We'll be a valuable commodity.
There'll be clients all over the world
who need our services. MSF is only the
beginning.
What we're creating here is a revolution
in itself. Am I right?
Snake Kaz, it's... not going to be that easy.
Miller What do you mean?
Snake This whole Peace Walker thing has left
our mark on the history of the old order.
We've put ourselves on the radar of
intelligence agencies and governments
East and West. The whole world probably
knows about us now.
Miller Including that Cipher outfit...
Snake We've let ourselves interfere with the
times - with the Cold War system of
deterrence. We're an army without a flag.
We weren't supposed to take sides in
international affairs.
But we did.
Miller I see your point.
So what happens to us now?
Snake We'll be hunted.
Miller Not everybody's gonna be happy with us,
huh?
Snake You're damn right.
We upset the global military balance of
power.
Miller And these people would rather our "army
without borders" not exist at all?
Snake They're gonna come knocking real soon.
There's no turning back now.
We're a wrench in the old system of
deterrence. As long as the times refuse
to change, we're going to make a hell of
a racket.
Miller Then who are we going to fight?
Snake The establishment... anybody who
tries to restore the old balance,
wants to snuff us out of existance.
Miller Which establishment?
Snake It won't be a particular country or
ideology that hunts us.
Miller Who, then?
Snake We're gonna be fighting the biggest
beast of all - the times. Ten years
ago, the times rejected The Boss...
and killed her.
And now we're the ones being tested.
Will the times erase us?
Or work with us?
It's gonna be a lonely battle... No
good or evil, no winners or losers.
Business will have to wait.
The question we have to ask ourselves
now is, can we survive long enough to
see the 21st century?
Miller I'm with you, Boss. We'll see
how it turns out, together.
Snake The hunt is on, Kaz, and the whole
world's on our tail. Assemble the men!

C'mon, let's go back.
Snake I'm not going back.
Miller Huh?
Snake I'm done.
Miller Snake, you don't mean...
Snake I'm done looking for the truth.
Miller What are you saying, Snake?
Snake I was wrong.
Miller C'mon, Boss. Everybody's waiting for you.
Snake ...She betrayed me, Kaz.
Miller She what?
Snake In the end, she put down her gun.
And when she did... she rejected her
entire life up to that point...
including me.
Miller What do you mean?
Snake In giving up her life, she abandoned
everything she was as a soldier...
Miller And you consider that betrayal?
Snake I won't make the same choice as her.
My future's going to be different.
Miller Then...
Snake Yeah, that's right.
From now on, call me Big Boss.
[Sounds of soldiers falling in line as Big Boss walks
past them.]
Big Boss We will forsake our countries.
We will leave our motherlands behind us
and become one with this earth. We have
no nation, no philosophy, no ideology.
We go where we're needed, fighting, not
for government, but for ourselves.
We need no reason to fight.
We fight because we are needed.
We will be the deterrent for those with
no other recourse. We are soldiers without
borders, our purpose defined by the era
we live in.
We will sometimes have to sell ourselves
and services. If the times demand it,
we'll be revolutionaries, criminals,
terrorists.
And yes, we may all be headed straight to
hell. But what better place for us than
this?
It's our only home.
Our heaven and our hell.
This is Outer Heaven.

Heaven's Divide
Lyrics by Nobuko Toda
Performed by Donna Burke
Petals of white
Cover fields flowing in grieving tears
And all the hearts once new,old and shattered now
Love can kill, love will die
Give me wings to fly
Fleeing this world so cold
I just wonder why
Cold as the dark
Now my words,are frosted with every breath
Still the hate burns wild,growing inside this heart
When the wind changes course when the stars align
I will reach out to you and leave this all behind
When heavens divide
When heavens divide
I will see the choices within my hands
How can we ever protect and fight with our tiny souls
Let me shine like the sun through the doubts and fear
Do you feel the storm approach as the end draws near
When heavens divide
Time will come to softly lay me down
Then I can see a face that I long to see
And for you,only you I would give anything
Leaving a trace for love to find a way
When heavens divide
I will dive into the fire
Spilling the blood of my desire
The very last time
My name scorched into the sky
When heavens divide
I will see the choices within my hands
How can we ever protect and fight with our tiny souls
Let me shine like the sun through the doubts and fear
Do you feel the storm approach as the end draws near
When heavens divide
Time will come to softly lay me down
Then I can see a face that I long to see
And for you,only you I would give anything
Leaving a trace for love to find a way
When heavens divide
And for you, only you I would give anything
Leaving a trace for love to find a way
When heavens divide

Love Deterrence
Lyrics by "Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker" Sound Team
Performed by Nana Mizuki
I love you; I hope these thoughts reach you
Im sure one day it'll come true
Such feelings are too painful
I don't understand things such as beginnings
It seems like you could have an ordinary name
and be anywhere But no matter how many people
there are Im sure to find you
I don't like the me who locked up these honest
feelings And confined herself in a shell
Each time that I halfheartedly hold myself back
The pain merely grows
What do you wish for?
I want to be close to you
Forever and ever thats all I want and yet
(Thump thump)
Love deterrence
Look! The games beginning
If I was looking at you would you know?
The starting bell chimes
Listen To My Heart
My silent voice,
Stop this love deterrence
I want to tell you everything about me
For no special reason I cut my hair but
I cant actually say that it's your fault
I'm just lying and running away
It's enough, I can't go on like this
Looking at others intently
Not knowing such bravado
Your back soon passed by
And I felt the pain far away
Who are you thinking about?
Tell me How long will the two of us
Continue like this? (Squeeze squeeze)
Love deterrence
Look! The games beginning
These entangled feelings will no longer
come apart; things began to move
Listen To My Heart
If I get used to being more honest
Stop this love deterrence
Stay only by my heart
One day Ill say I love you
In my dreams I say Sorry for everything
One day say We'll be together forever
Firmly, firmly say I won't leave
(Throb throb)
Love deterrence
Look! The games beginning
Look at these straightforward thoughts; Now
I'm overflowing and I start to run
I don't want to be alone any longer! Look at me!
Everything leads to you, no matter the past or
the future, forever and ever.
This encounter will change the world
After school in the classroom, now it's just the
two of us This is a chance given by God, but
the time still passes by
I'm sure that if this goes on, well pass each
other by With our backs facing each other, we
move apart.
I love you; I hope these thoughts reach you
I'm sure one day it'll come true
Such feelings are too painful; Please stop
the love deterrence
