Interrogator: We have a dossier that The Patriot gave on you at US Embassy of Indonesia. We have ID'd all of Cleo's men: Maelstorm, Esther, Franco. You know them. Masterminds of the Project Nova.
Carmen: Nova 6. Crackle called it Nova 6. Cleo...
Interrogator: What do you know about Dr. Franco? We know that Franco was the Brazilian far-right politician and chemical engineer who formulated Nova 6. Jair Bolsonaro's best scientist. Dangerous extremist man. Your handler Julia "Jules" Argent has been sent to Rio de Janeiro to interrogate Franco. Do you REMEMBER?!!
Carmen: Hey, why do you just keep asking to me?! You know everything.
Interrogator: No, Carmen. We don't what the numbers mean. We don't know where they're broadcast from!
Carmen: (laughter) Why don't you ask Jules? Rio was her mission. She interrogate Franco.

Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
Cough is heard.
Franco: Don't you morons get it? If you think your government-sponsored brutality intimidates me, you clearly don't know anything about Countess Cleo. I have nothing to gain by talking to you.
Julia activates the electricity of electrical chair that Franco sat and strapped on.
Julia: Think about what you have to lose...
Franco is electrocuted. Julia deactivates the electric chair and then punches him on the face until his nose bleed.
Devineaux: Did you see the beast mode inside her? You've got plenty of punches...
Julia: Or you can give us what we want, and we guarantee your safety...
Franco: (evil laughing) I'm a immortal man. I've been hunted across every corner of the globe... And if you found me, so will they... They know everything you know...They're probably on their way now.
Julia: Why?
Franco: Cleo doesn't like loose ends. I've never even dealt with her directly... Only Esther, the American.
Julia: Yeah, what was the nature of your business?
Franco: I was hired by them to help stabilize certain "volatile compounds".
Devineaux looks at Julia, stunned, but also notices movement outside their location, grabbing his Remington ACR to prepare for contact.
Julia: What kind of compunds?!
Franco: The Nova-6. A Russian-developed bio-cham weapons...
Franco is interrupted by several gunshots ripping through the other window panes and gets himself out of his chair while Devineaux and Julia protect him. Julia pulls out her MP7 w/ CQB Reflex Sight.
Franco: You led them right to me!
Devineaux: Get to cover!
While they fight, a small supply of Nova 6 is released and the VILE Spec-Ops operatives are killed.
Franco: Gunfire's ruptured the canisters!
Devineaux: What's your escape route?!
Franco: There is the hatch in the ceiling! This way!
Julia and Devineaux climb the hatch.
Franco: Did you inhale the gas?!
Julia: Hmph. I don't think so.
Franco: You're lucky then. Direct exposure is always fatal.
Devineaux: VILE inbound! Which way?
Franco: Upstairs! To the roof!
They fight through several enemies in hallways.
Devineaux: Ms. Argent! Left side window! Left side!
A Boeing 777 roars overhead.
Devineaux: Merde! (Shit!) Sniper!
Franco: We need to get to the opposite tower!
Devineaux: How?!
Franco: We jump!!
Julia: You've gotta be kiddin' me!!!
Julia jumps over the roof and then lands hard on a pile of mattresses. Devineaux and Franco follow suit.
Julia: Ooomph! Bloody fuckin' hell...
Devineaux and Franco push an old refrigerator out of the way, revealing a secret armory.
Franco: Come on, man... Help me move this. Grab one of those guns - whatever you need. They will be here before you know it!
Julia: You are very well prepared for being a immortal man.
Franco: Just because I accept my infinity fortunes and power from the Almighty Jesus Christ doesn't mean I'm in any hurry to embrace it!
Devineaux: (shakes his head) Hmph, whatever you say, Brazilian "pastor".
Julia grabs a CQC custom M4A1 Commando assault rifle and pulls it. Devineaux opens a door.
Julia: Follow me.
Devineaux: Ms. Argent - left side!
They continue to kill enemies. But suddenly...
Devineaux: Flashbang!
The flashbang blinds Julia.
Devineaux: Shit, they're breaching the windows!
The team continue into a room.
Julia: Which way, fuckface?
Franco: Left door. Onto the rooftops!
The team continue fighting.
Devineaux: You sure you know where you're going?
Franco: I've prepared for this.
They fight more enemies.
Franco: Down the pipe, go! Hurry up!
They slide down the pipe and crawl through the vents.
Devineaux: Be careful, Julia.
Julia: I know that, Chase.
They crawl further through the vents until they come across two targets below them.
Devineaux (whispering): Two more VILE assholes below us.
Julia: No problem - I got 'em.
Julia kills the two VILE soldiers. The trio jump down and continue across the rooftops.
Devineaux: Cleo's going to a lot of trouble to intimidate you... Why are you not telling us? Do you have a something to hid from us?
Franco: No. But I told you about that chemical weapon.
Devineaux: Then, where's its base? North/South Korea? Hungary? Australia?
Franco: Her safehouse. The Andes. Argentina. The home of football world champions. That's where you will find Esther. In her final prep for Project Nova 2.0.
Julia: What else? Intensive talks between them or anything?
Franco: Esther talked to Cleo about the numbers.
Julia: What kind of numbers?
Franco: The kind where their plan relies on.
Julia slides down the roof.
Devineaux: Enemy 12 o'clock! Low!
The group eliminates the ambush in slow motion, but then an Pave Low helicopter flies past close by, heading up to where Franco's lab is to send in more VILE to recover what they can of Franco's Nova 6 research.
Franco: Porra... (Shit...) They've sent in a clean up crew to steal what's left of my research. Well, não thank you, Cleo... I can clean up my own mess! [laughs]
Franco activates the detonator, which blows up the enemy helicopter, neon sign next to it and all his research of Nova 6. Franco removes the cover of another ammo stash. Meanwhile, the Pave Low spins down out of the sky before slamming into a building and tumbling to the street below.
Franco: Refill your ammo and keep your bullets saved.
While Julia and Devineaux load up on ammo, Franck opens a gate.
Franco: This way!
They keep fighting and sticking to Franco's route.
Franco: Balcony on the left!
They go through the balcony just as more VILE breach the door ahead in slow motion. Jules and Devineaux stop them.
Franco: Follow the hallway - all the way to the end!
Devineaux: They're breaching the roof!
He and Julia kill the breaching VILE.
Franco: Onto the next balcony!
After more rooftop travel...
Franco: Back outside - balcony on your right!
After more fighting...
Franco: Not far now! Weapons and ammunition - grab what you need.
Julia and Devineaux reload until...
Devineaux: VILE inbound!
Julia holds her ground against the VILE assault.
Franco: Watch my back! I need to unlock this door. Cover me while I get this door open! Okay... it's been a while...
Devineaux: (disbelieving) Did you forgot your own combination?!
Franco: It's like playing lotto... 54... 23... what is it? 5... 11... 19... 45? Of course...Lucky 7!
Franco finally unlocks the door.
Franco: Come on! Just one more leap of faith!
Franco takes his chance.
Franco: Rarhhhh!!!!
Julia follows suit, but then she hears:
Franco: Help!! I'm slipping!
Julia slips, too, but Devineaux arrives and grabs Julia.
Devineaux: I got you!
As more VILE arrive, Julia grabs Franco and holds on to him as he dangles over the street far below and asks Franco one last question.
Julia: What about the numbers, Franco?!
Franco: Oh, yes... The numbers... They're the key to--
Just as he is speaking this, a stray bullet cuts straight through Franco's head, taking blood and brain matter with it. His only hope of solving this mystery gone, Julia lets the now-deceased Franco go, the body hitting a neon sign as it tumbles to the streets below. Before Julia falls, too, Devineaux pulls her up with all his might.
Devineaux: Putain! Allez! (Fuck! Let's go!) Rust, this is Condor One. Emergency extraction. Street level, neighbourhood, south site!
Agent (Luz): Copy that, Condor One - on the way. Been watching the fireworks down here. Have you guys got the HVI?
Devineaux: Negative, he's dead. Condor One out. Come on, ms. Argent. I see a way down. This way!
Devineaux and Julia fight more VILE as they climb down the roofs. Julua slides down a ramp and falls through an awning, absorbing the full impact. As more VILE arrive, Julia grabs a spare Desert Eagle and fires at them until friendlies arrive in a van, running over one VILE soldier and gunning down the rest.
Agent (Hawkins): Where we headed?
Julia climbs into the van with Devineaux.
Julia: Franco identified a American scientist working for Cleo. Her name is Esther. We are going to Argentina. Mount Andes...
