(The episode begins at the end of Ch1E7. A gang of reapers are on a roof and an unknown figure is talking to them.)

???: I heard you guys are pretty good at theft.

Reaper: Yeah, what of it?

???: I have a job for you. (The camera cuts to reveal the Payday gang: Dallas, Chains, Wolf, and Hoxton. Dallas is the one addressing the reapers.)

Reaper: What kind of job?

Dallas: We steal from the largest bank here. Together, we'd be unstoppable. No one could put a dent in.

Reaper: (Thinking it over.) You have a deal.

Dallas: There's one last thing. I know someone who could help us out a little.

Reaper: Who?

Dallas: Follow us.

(We cut to the first time Sweet Tooth was arrested, that same night. On the crime scene is Booker DeWitt. He wanders a bit from the crime scene next to the alley that Sweet Tooth cornered the Crusader. He approaches the body of the Crusader.)

Booker: D*mn. (Behind Booker, two reapers drop from the rooftops. Booker turns towards them.) Who are you two? Give me straight answers. (Dallas then drops down behind Booker.)

Dallas: Get on your knees and f*ck it! (Dallas hits Booker in the head with the butt of a rifle. Booker slumps to the ground.) You two, bring him to our hideout. (The reapers pick up Booker's body.)

(We cut forward a few days later. It's raining as Cole Phelps walks down the street towards the police department. On his way in, Scott Shelby (Heavy Rain) opens the door for him.)

Phelps: Thanks.

Scott: Don't mention it. (Phelps walks into the police department and is immediately called into the chief's office. A different chief from before. As he walks through, he passes Connor (Detroit: Become Human) and Ada Wong (Resident Evil).)

Chief: Phelps, get in here! We've got a case for ya! (Phelps walks in.)

Phelps: What is it, chief?

Chief: Two officers, dead. Not only that, but one of their investigators has been missing for a few days. I'm sending you and an officer down there. Got it?

Phelps: Loud and clear. (Phelps turns and leaves. Outside, he is greeted by an officer next to a patrol car.)

Officer: Get in. I'll take you to the crime scene.

Phelps: (Getting in.) I'll never get used to these new cars you use. (The car drives away.)

(We cut to the inside of an abandoned building. Booker is seen chained to a pipe in the corner of the room. Dallas, the Payday gang, and the reapers approach Booker.)

Dallas: You're still holding out? Good.

Booker: What do you want, you godd*mn clown?

Dallas: (Holds up a bottle of salts.) We got the salts that we need. So these "vigors" of yours will soon be put to good use.

Booker: I'll kill you for this. (Dallas walks up to Booker and hits him in the head with the butt of his gun.)

Dallas: You f*cker. (To everyone else.) Let's get to work. (They all exit, leaving Booker chained and hurt.)

(The camera zooms out of the building, showing that it's next to a bank. Across the street, the patrol car pulls up and Phelps and the officer exit it.)

Phelps: What the h*ll is a cell phone?

Officer: You've gotta be kidding me. (Phelps and the officer approach an alleyway. Two officers are seen laying dead. Phelps walks over to inspect them. Large cut wounds are found in the chest.)

Phelps: Holy h*ll. I've never seen anything like this. These wounds are huge.

Officer: Any ideas?

Phelps: No f*cking clue. (Phelps looks up and sees movement on the roof of the building next to him.) I'm gonna go check something out. You stay here. (Phelps pulls out a revolver and walks slowly to the next alleyway. As he cautiously walks through, a figure drops down behind him. We see that it is Alex Mercer who has shapeshifted his arms into blades. Phelps turns around and steps back in shock.) What the h*ll are you!

Alex: Now I'll have to kill you too.

Phelps: Woah! We don't have to go there. I'm just here to ask you questions.

Alex: (Menacingly.) What questions?

Phelps: About the double homicide. Two cops. Know anything about that?

Alex: Those f*ckers shot me.

Phelps: So you were the one who killed them. Case closed, you're coming with me.

Alex: No, they shot me first. I didn't approach them until shots were fired.

(Three button prompts are shown onscreen saying truth, doubt, and lie. The doubt option is chosen.)

Phelps: You really think I'm gonna believe that sh*t? You came at me as soon as I walked through this alley.

Alex: They attacked me first, you could've done the same. (Alex shapeshifts his arms back to normal. The same button prompts show up. This time, truth is chosen.)

Phelps: Alright, I can believe that. You still have to come down to the station with me. We'll figure all this out. (Phelps walks out of the alley with Alex behind him. On the other side of the street, the Payday gang and the reapers approach a bank.)

(The Payday gang and the reapers enter the bank and point their guns at everyone inside.)

Dallas: Everybody on the ground! (The citizens all get on the ground. To the reapers.) You watch them. We'll get the money. (The Payday gang leaves the room and goes to the back where the money is. The reapers spread out to cover everyone. One of the bank employees presses a button under the counter which sounds off an alarm. A reaper approaches that employee and shoots them in the face. Screams ensue. Outside, Phelps, Alex, and the officer turn towards the bank.)

Officer: Something bad is happening at the bank. We better check it out. (Phelps and the officer start towards the bank. Alex follows but Phelps stops him.)

Phelps: No, you stay here. We still have questions for you. (Alex stays back, but shapeshifts his arms into hammerfists. Phelps and the officer get to the bank entrance and see all the reapers.)

Phelps: (Quietly.) F*ck. There's too many of them. We won't get through until help arrives. (Suddenly, Alex flies through the entrance and starts beating on the reapers with his hammerfists.)

Alex: What're you gonna throw at me next, huh? (He hits two reapers which each of his fists and grabs another and throws it out of one of the windows. We cut to the Payday gang at a vault.)

Dallas: We have trouble. I think it's time for our secret weapons. (He pulls out four vigors: Bucking Bronco, Devil's Kiss, Murder of Crows, and Shock Jockey. Chains takes the Devil’s Kiss vigor and injects it. His hands briefly burst into flames and he begins screaming. We cut to Phelps and the officer hearing it.)

Officer: Sounds like they have a hostage. I’m gonna check it out. (The officer holds up his gun and approaches the vault. Phelps follows cautiously. Once they’re almost there, Chains comes around the corner and shoots flames from his hand,engulfing the officer. He begins screaming violently as Phelps falls down and backs up on his hands. The officer falls dead to the ground.)

Phelps: Holy f*ck!

Chains: You’re next. (Chains holds up his arm again, but Alex Mercer jumps in and stabs Chains with his claws that he transformed his arm into. Chains falls to the ground.)

Phelps: What the f*ck was that?

Alex: Something that isn’t natural. I’ll kill them all. (Suddenly, Alex’s body goes stiff and he is lifted into the air. He is then hurtled out of the window of the bank. He groans.) F*ck… (We look back to see that Dallas is the cause of it, as he has taken the Bucking Bronco vigor. Hoxton and Wolf flank him.)

Dallas: We were hoping to do this quietly, detective. Now we have to kill you.

Phelps: What kind of f*cking clowns are you? (Phelps gets up and holds his gun out in front of him, ready to shoot. We cut outside with Alex as more reapers begin flooding the streets. Alex gets up.)

Alex: I’m getting f*cking tired of this. (He leaps at the reapers and stabs into one with his claws. He then throws that reaper at a group of two more. Reapers begin shooting at him, so he jumps behind a car, he then flips that car onto the shooting reapers.)

(We cut to an army base.Jonathan Irons (Call of Duty) stands in front of a group of soldiers. Among them is Ghost (Call of Duty) and Augustus Cole (Gears of War).)

Irons: Listen up, we’ve got a call of a dangerous gang attacking a bank. Not only that, supernatural occurrences have been accompanying the heist. You’ll need to be on your A-game. You, in the back… (The camera pans to see Salem and Rios. Salem is dozing off in his chair, Rios hits him awake.)

Salem: Huh? What is it?

Irons: Pay attention. This is a matter of life and death.

Salem: Yessir. (To Rios.) Probably just some wackjob with a gun.

Rios: Apparently it’s supernatural.

Salem: Bullsh*t.

Irons: Okay, ladies. Let’s head out. (We cut to armored trucks driving away.)

(We cut back to the bank heist. Phelps is blasted out of the bank with a blast of electricity. He tries getting up, but is unable to. Alex runs up to him and bends down to put an arm on his back.)

Alex: What happened in there?

Phelps: They’re too… powerful. Lightning… out of… their hands.

Alex: Lightning? (The Payday Gang then exits the bank with bags of cash. At this point, two armored trucks pull in and soldiers start streaming out.)

Dallas: They called in the army? Spread out! (The remaining three members of the Payday Gang drop their bags of cash and fan out. Soldiers begin shooting at reapers flooding the streets. We see Salem look over at Hoxton who is running into the building where Booker is being held hostage.)

Salem: There’s one! He’s getting away! (Salem runs after him and Rios follows. They pass by Phelps and Alex. Phelps suddenly gets up and runs in the opposite direction of Salem and Rios. We cut to Dallas running away from the soldiers as he lifts and throws some using his vigor. Phelps chases after him.)

(We cut to Salem and Rios entering the building, holstering submachine guns. They go up many flights of stairs.)

Rios: Come down with your hands up!

Salem: It’s over for you, buddy. (They reach a door at the top and Rios kicks it open. He leads the way inside. The camera pans to see Booker still chained to a pipe.)

Booker: Look out!

Rios: Huh? (Suddenly, Hoxton jumps out from the darkness and holds up his arm. A murder of crows escapes his hand thanks to the vigor he took. The crows bombard Rios and he crashes through a window in the room. His scream echoes as he falls and we hear the clang of metal and a crack.)

Salem: Rios! (Hoxton turns towards Salem.) I’ll f*cking kill you! (Salem lets loose on his gun as bullets spray into Hoxton. He lays dead on the ground.)

Booker: Oh my God. (Salem approaches Booker and holds his arm against the wall.)

Salem: Hold still. (Salem bashes his gun against the chain on Booker’s wrist. It breaks and he is freed.)

Booker: Thank you. These clowns need to be stopped.

Salem: Yeah… (He approaches the window and looks down. We see Rios’ limp body bleeding next to a dumpster.) Rios… poor b*stard. (Booker then gets onto the window landing and pulls out his skyhook. He jumps onto a powerline and his skyhook attaches. Booker starts traveling down the powerline towards where Phelps and Dallas went.) What the f*ck?

(We cut to the battle happening on the streets. Alex’s scythe hands rip horizontally through a reaper, tearing him in half. He moves onto another reaper and stabs him in the stomach. Suddenly, he is hit with a burst of electricity and sprawls onto the ground. The camera pans as we see Wolf with electricity sparking around his hand.)

Alex: Looks like you’re next to die. (Alex gets up and runs towards Wolf. Wolf shoots electricity at Alex, who blocks it with his scythe hands. After a bit, Wolf takes out a machine gun and begins shooting at Alex. He takes a couple serious blows to the shoulder.) You won't get away with that! (Alex lunges at Wolf and takes swipes viciously at him. Wolf ducks under one and jabs the butt of his gun into Alex's chin. He grabs Alex's shoulder and zaps him full of electricity.)

Wolf: Any final words? (As soon as he says this, Salem bursts into the scene and puts Wolf into a headlock. He then flips backwards and slams Wolf's head on the ground. Knocking him out.) 

Salem: Yo. That was so bad*ss, you wish you had moves like that.

Alex: Not bad.

(We cut to Phelps giving chase to Dallas. Dallas reaches a building and starts climbing up a ladder. Phelps follows. Once Phelps reaches the top, Dallas lands a punch on him and sends him to the ground.)

Dallas: I’m not going to jail, detective.

Phelps: What the f*ck is this?

Dallas: This is just the beginning. With these new powers, I can rob any bank I d*mn well please. You’re just a casualty. (Dallas uses his vigor to pull Phelps into the air. He’s floating about six feet above the roof.) Now put your cuffs on, b*tch! (Suddenly, Booker flies in with his skyhook. He kicks Dallas in the face and he falls over. Phelps drops down.)

Phelps: F*ck!

Booker: (To Dallas.) You get what you deserve, f*cker. 

Dallas: How’d you escape? (He gets up and pulls out a knife. He swings when a gunshot is heard. Dallas stumbles and falls off of the building. We cut to see Phelps with his revolver.)

Phelps: Are you the missing investigator?

Booker: Yeah, Booker DeWitt. Those clowns have kept me hostage for days.

Phelps: Let’s get back to the bank.

(We cut back to the bank. Dead bodies of reapers and soldiers are strewn everywhere. We see the body of Wolf as Alex and Salem walk away from it, his arms back to normal. Soldiers are leading reapers into the armored trucks. Phelps and Booker return as Alex and Salem walk up to greet them.)

Phelps: Looks like this case is wrapped up.

Booker: So many dead… 

Salem: (Pulling out vigors. To Booker.) Are these yours?

Booker: They are. I’m sorry for the trouble they caused in the wrong hands

Alex: We need to get out of here.

Phelps: All of you should come with me. I’ll get us down to the station. We’ll sort everything out. (They all look together before Salem nods. The camera pans up to the dark sky as thunder is heard up above.)
