Criminal's Perspective
Nikita Volkov: Ethan was caught, even though I specifically warned him. Did he send Brian to kill the detective yet?
Paul Volkov: No, we need to flee London as soon as possible.
Nikita Volkov: That would be admitting defeat, that's not the way of the Volkov family...
Brother, our biggest strength is that we can be one person in their eyes. We can trick them.
Paul Volkov: It seems risky, but what is your proposition?
Nikita Volkov: It involves playing directly into the police's hands giving them the impression that they are in control.
Paul Volkov: Let me guess, you want to use my masterful deception in some way?
Nikita Volkov: You will pose as the new henchman, since Ethan was caught. Then, you will let them catch you on purpose, and once they do, you will stall them while we finish Entropy.
Paul Volkov: How do I escape after that?
Nikita Volkov: We will make a swap at the asylum where we have our escape tunnel. Then, what evidence they have on you will mean nothing if they have the wrong man.
Paul Volkov: You're asking a lot of me, brother. And are you sure they won't convict you of aiding in a conspiracy?
Nikita Volkov: I trust your cunning abilities, brother. After all, you are "The Specter". As for me, I will be fine, don't worry.
Paul Volkov: What if Ethan cracks under the pressure and tells police there are two of us?
Nikita Volkov: He won't, he loves Riley too much, he doesn't know we already killed her.
Case Story
Ethan overlooked the fact that Natalie Steel was part of the investigation. She was able to provide you with a starting point that led to his capture. Being very intelligent, Natalie Steel still remained hidden, the Scarlet Seal only found out her involvement in the case later on. Nikita and Paul were both shocked by Ethan's capture and needed to either flee now or think of an alternate plan that gave them the Entropy poison and freedom.
New Text Message - Unknown Number
A looming darkness lives within us all.
Just remember, when this is all over, it was inevitable.
In time, you will realize you should have never set foot on Crimson Creek's forsaken riverside... because I am everything you can't control.
I'm sure we could have been great friends... in another life.
