Plot Synopsis
Upon arriving in Realia, Meyers interrogates Lisa's boss, the editor of the newspaper at which she worked. He points him in the direction of Don Pedro, an influential local crime lord with connections to every illegal activity in the country, and apparently the last person to see Lisa alive. Meyers storms Don Pedro's compound, but is ambushed by Don Pedro's soldiers inside the Don's office. However, the Don spares Meyer's life, and informs him that Lisa and he were on friendly terms, that she was interviewing him for a story, and that the last time he saw her, she was returning to town to speak to the editor.
Realizing that the editor deceived him, Meyers returns to the newspaper office and threatens the editor at gunpoint. Just as the editor is about to confess everything, he is killed by a sniper rifle shot from across the street. The killer, a well-dressed professional assassin, flees from the scene. Meyers tracks the killer down and kills him.
After tracking several leads, Meyers eventually discovers that a group of mysterious soldiers in black uniforms are behind everything, and are responsible for mass kidnappings and other unusual events in Realia. Meyers learns that the leader of the Black Soldiers is named Don Diego, and that he is apparently turning people into zombies.
After saving one of the kidnapped people from the Black Soldiers, Meyers learns that Don Diego is really Don Pedro. Meyers tracks Pedro to his island fortress, kills all of his bodyguards, and confronts Pedro, shooting him in the leg.
Don Pedro confesses everything. The real mastermind behind the Black Soldiers is Alberto Caruzzo, a wealthy philosopher who Meyers met early in the game inside the Puerto Sombra bar. Caruzzo is a devotee of Nikola Tesla, specifically Tesla's research into the Mindscape. Caruzzo has built a massive antenna capable of influencing the Mindscape, which gives him the power to control people's minds. Lisa was kidnapped by Caruzzo's men for getting too close to the truth. She is apparently immune to mind control, so Caruzzo is experimenting on her to find out why.
Meyers storms Caruzzo's massive underground volcano base, the Black Tower, and eventually finds his daughter attached to machinery deep inside the laboratories. Caruzzo's chief scientist informs Meyers that Lisa cannot be unplugged from the machinery, or else it will kill her, unless Meyers destroys the mind-control antenna.
Caruzzo appears on a large video screen and confronts Meyers. Caruzzo laments the plight of the people in the third world, killing each other in an endless war, thanks to Westerners like Meyers and their demand for cocaine. He describes his plan to bring about world peace by using his antenna to control people's minds and remove hatred, war, and poverty. Meyers refuses to debate Caruzzo, telling him that he made a mistake when he kidnapped Meyer's daughter.
Meyers battles Caruzzo's elite soldiers and destroys the Black Tower antenna, causing a massive explosion that destroys the volcano and Caruzzo along with it. Meyers, Lisa, and the chief scientist fly off into the sunset inside a helicopter. Lisa informs her father that she's thinking of quiting journalism to become a paramedic, and that she's planning to head for Nepal next.

Famous quotes containing the word plot:
“The plot was most interesting. It belonged to no particular age, people, or country, and was perhaps the more delightful on that account, as nobody’s previous information could afford the remotest glimmering of what would ever come of it.”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
