Chapter 8: The Drowned City
(Dipper and Pacifica emerge from the water as the jeep sinks. They quickly swim to shore as Gideon and his goons shoot down at them.)
Dipper: Go! Go!
Pacifica: Ugh! These guys never quit!
(They get out of the water and run through some buildings. They go through a doorway and get to a riverbank with a jet ski in the water.. They realize they lost their enemies stop to catch their breath.)
Dipper: This was a big mistake.
Pacifica: (chuckles) No kidding. You know, I should've turned before the bridge.
Dipper: That's very funny.
Pacifica: Oh, come here a minute. (pulls out her camera) I wanna show you something.
Dipper: That thing still works?
Pacifica: Uh-huh. Check this out. (shows him footage of the domed harbor building) Okay, see this building in the harbor? That's where all of the boats coming into the colony would've unloaded their cargo. So, if the El Dorado treasure came to this island, it would've had to have come through here.
Dipper: (sees something) Wait a minute. What was that?
Pacifica: What?
Dipper: Rewind it.
Elena Fisher: (rewinds footage) Yeah...?
Nathan Drake: Wait, stop.
Elena Fisher: (pauses recording) Uh-huh.
Nathan Drake: Right there. (points to a small motorboat at the building on the screen.) That's our ticket out of here. Come on!
Pacifica: (confused) Our ticket out of here? Are you giving up?
Dipper: Maybe you hadn't noticed, but we're kind of outnumbered.
Pacifica: (pfft) We're doing fine so far…
Dipper: (serious) Pacifica, I don't need your bullet-riddled corpse on my conscience. Let's go.
Pacifica: (annoyed) Oh, please. You quit if you want to, but don't use me as an excuse.
Dipper: (scoffs) Fine. It's me, okay? I am quitting! Are you coming or not?!
Pacifica: So that's it? You're just going to forget about the treasure and forget about Drake?
Dipper: (sighs) Goddamnit, this is not worth dying over.
Pacifica: Okay. Okay. Listen, either way we have to head back to the harbor. (smiles) Don't worry about it. We can argue about it later. It'll be great.
(She puts her camera away and walks towards the jet ski.)
Dipper: Wait… This time, I drive.
Pacifica: Okay.
(Dipper gets on the jet ski and starts it up. Pacifica sits behind him and wraps her arms around him. They begin driving the through the water and in between buildings.)
Pacifica: What happened to this place?
Dipper: Whole city's completely flooded.
(They turn a corner and are spotted by a couple pirates on the balconies of some buildings.)
Dipper: Looks like we've got company! You're gonna to have to cover us!
(They take out their guns and return fire. Dipper shoots with one hand and drives with the other. Pacifica holds onto him while shooting as well. They get rid of the pirates and carry on. They come across a ramp in between some walls.)
Dipper: Hang on!
(They drive over the ramp, into the interior of the harbor. They knew the boat is on the other side.)
Pacifica: There it is!
Dipper: Yeah, now we just gotta find a way in.
Pacifica: I don't get it. How does a colony just drop out of history?
Dipper: I don't know. That's a good question.
Pacifica: You know, I read a story once about a cursed Inca treasure... You don't supposed that -
Dipper: Please don't tell me you believe in that stuff.
Pacifica: I'm just saying... something bad happened here. A whole colony doesn't up and vanish. How do you explain it?
Dipper: I hope I don't have to.
(The two reach a dock and Dipper gets out. Pacifica sees a zipline connecting from a nearby tower to the roof of smaller building by the harbor.)
Pacifica: Looks like that cable would get us up there.
Dipper: Let's go check it out.
Pacifica: I'll stay here and keep an eye on our ride. See if you can figure a way to get us to that tower.
(Pacifica rides off as Dipper starts to make his way to the tower.)
