Bentley Voice-Over
(Image of the van driving off Bentley on the passenger's side). It was a strange sensation, to be leaving a job with Carmelita in tow instead of firing at us. But nothing we've done has been anything but strange lately. (Scenes from game 4 scroll over his head.) Ever since Sly took down Le Paradox, we've been worried sick, looking for him. Everything we've done has been trying to deal with that—from my modifications to the time machine to Murray's new exercise regimen—and Carmelita's no different.
(Bentley glances in the back of the van. Carmelita's staring at an old, torn photo of Sly kissing her on the cheek while she looks very surprised.)
While Carmelita's always been on the opposite side of the law from us, we knew she'd been worried sick about Sly since his disappearance. While the two hadn't thrashed out their differences, they'd made up. I don't know if they can make it work, but if she's insisting on coming with us, that means she'll give it a try. Even if it means taking the biggest gamble of our lives with us.
During our last caper, my ex-girlfriend, Penelope, betrayed us: she sold the secrets of my time machine to Le Paradox and participated in his scheme, which got her thrown in jail. (Shadowy images of a mouse making said deal and of her being thrown in jail). But prison isn't a place that can hold someone as smart as Penelope, and she's been sending me postcards ever since she broke out. (Images of the empty cell.) Based on their unique style, I can only assume she's been making the cards herself—they're not sold anywhere in the world.
(Murray parks the van, and they all exit into the safe-house very carefully. Bentley flicks on the lights to show a bulletin-board covered in postcards, each posted in the center of a piece of paper with information scribbled all around them. The postcards seem to be of locations all over the world, and follow no particular theme.)
(and then the camera does a close-up of one post-card).
Including one showing something I never expected to see.
(On the post-card was the artifact they'd just tried to steal... and one of Sly's calling cards.)
I don't know how she got this, but Penelope knows about my time machine and how it works. If this is a trap, it's a trap we have to walk into. But whether we find Sly or not, we have a lead. And we're going to follow it.
(images of the gang suiting up, the artifact being placed in the time machine's receptacle, and various preparations.)
Unfortunately... that means preparing Carmelita, too. (Bentley taps her on the shoulder and, when she turns around, offers her a mask with a glum look on his face.)
