Having directed the team in the wrong direction, you drove up to the abandoned Duga base. Everything was clean... suspiciously clean. After getting out of the car with Adler, Woods started accusing you of leading them into a trap. And so it happened. After killing all your comrades, you went into the building, and Perseus followed you. When you entered the rooms, you saw the wounded Adler, who was holding his side.

Adler: I'm glad you care. Do you have a light?

There was a lighter lying next to him. Picking it up, you wanted to give him what he wanted, but suddenly he attacked you, trying to stab you. But because he was too weak to fight, he lost the fight, and you pointed the knife at his chest. And then they noticed his frightened look. No matter how bad he was, the man seemed familiar. He nodded, and, snatching the knife from Russell's hands, you threw it at Perseus with a well-aimed throw. The gray-haired man falls and dies in a pool of his own blood, and you look at Adler.

Adler: Why? Why did you save me?
