Dialogue

[Intro: At the border between India and Kyrat, Kyrati forces attack a bus carrying Ajay Ghale, the player character. Moments later, a helicopter arrives, and Pagan Min, the King of Kyrat, surveys the scene]

Pagan Min: [to the guard commander] I distinctly remember saying "stop the bus." Yes, "stop the bus." Not "shoot the bus." I'm very particular with my words. "Stop." "Shoot." "Stop." "Shoot." Do those words sound the same?

Commander: But it got out of control.

Pagan: I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. What did you say?

Commander: It got out of control.

Pagan: [pulls a pen from his coat] "Got out of control"... I hate when things get out of control.

[proceeds to stab the commander to death with the pen]

Pagan: You had [punctuates his words with stabs] one fucking job and you couldn't fucking do that! [slumps down next to the body] And I got blood on my fucking shoes! [looks up to see Ajay] At least there's a silver lining. You didn't completely fuck it up.

[Pagan rises, helping Ajay to his feet.]

Pagan: Get up, boy. I'd recognize those eyes anywhere. [chuckles as he embraces Ajay] I'm so sorry about this. This was supposed to be... well, not this. We have a party waiting for you... [kneels next to the other survivor] ...but I don't think I know your name. [to Ajay] Who is this? Hm? Is this your plus-one? [Ajay is silent] Strong silent type. I like it.

[The other soldiers put a bag over Darpan's head and bind him.]

Pagan: I'm terribly embarassed about all this. This was supposed to be very simple, but you know if you give food to monkeys, they just throw their shit at each other. Oh, would you hold this? [hands Ajay the bloody pen and pulls out his cell phone] Just a moment, I want to get a little picture. Right into the camera, there we are... [takes a selfie with Ajay] Awesome.

[The soldiers pour gasoline and set the bus on fire, as "Should I Stay or Should I Go" by the Clash begins to play.]

Pagan: Don't worry about a thing, my boy. This will soon be behind us and we'll be off on our grand adventure. Because I've cleared my calendar for you! You... and I... are gonna TEAR SHIT UP!

---

[Ajay is brought to a dinner table with Pagan; Paul "De Pleur" Harmon, one of his governors; and Darpan, the other survivor of the bus attack.]

Pagan: Again, terribly sorry about what happened before. This is more what I had in mind. So, fresh start! Introductions. Ajay Ghale, our guest of honor; Paul, our very gracious host. [De Pleur nods] The little monkey, whose name I still don't know. And I, of course, am Pagan Min. You... really don't remember me, do you? Your mother, she never spoke of me, never mentioned me? Oh, we'll change all that. Paul, I need cash.

De Pleur: Uh, how much do you need?

Pagan: All of it. [De Pleur hands him several Kyrati rupee bills, all with Pagan's face on them] Thank you. Here we are... [flips through the bills, holds one up close to his face] Ah. Hm? [tosses it down, holds up another] How about this, with the smile? [tosses that one aside, holds out another, looking serious]

Ajay Ghale: That's you.

Pagan: That's me. [peers at it] Although I'm not so sure anymore. Now your mother...

[Pagan picks up the urn containing the ashes of Ajay's mother Ishwari, and opens it; Ajay rises, but is stopped by De Pleur.]

Pagan: Your mother, on the other hand, she understood me. She knew me in a way no one ever did. [dips his pinky into the ashes and tastes them] Mm, that takes me back. The last time I saw Ishwari was years ago. She told me she loved me. Women, they can do that. They can tell you they love you in the moment and mean it. Men, on the other hand... no, men only really love you in hindsight. When too much distance has built up. [rises, grabbing a fork from the table] So, when your mother decided to flee to the United States with you on her hip, I couldn't help but blame myself. Then I realized: It's not me. No. It was the fucking Golden Path!

[Pagan shoves Darpan's head into his plate, and stabs him in the shoulder with the fork.]

Pagan: Those fucking terrorists, they ruin everything. Like dinner! [to Darpan] Did no one ever teach you it's rude to text at the table? Let's see here. [slaps Darpan's hand to release his cell phone] Give me the phone! [holds it up] Really, guys? We're not checking for these anymore? [reads the text] Ah. "I'm with Ajay Ghale." [to De Pleur] You'll love this part. "Help." [chuckles] A text for help? You don't text for help, you cry for help. So come on, you're gonna cry for help. You're gonna do something, you're gonna do it right. Here we go! [drags Darpan to the balcony] Go on, cry for help. Cry for help.

Darpan: [weakly] H-help...

Pagan: Ah, pathetic. Cry for help, like you mean it, boy! [Darpan screams "help" louder] Help! From your diaphragm! [together with Darpan] HEEEEELP! Shh, shh, shh, shh, shh... now we listen. [beat]

Nothing. I'm afraid they're not coming for you, buddy. [pulls the fork out, and turns to De Pleur] Find out what he knows.

[De Pleur and his men take Darpan away.]

Pagan: Terrorists, right? Now please, stay right here. Enjoy the Crab Rangoon. Don't move. I will be right back.

[Final mission: Ajay kicks in the door to Pagan's chambers in the Royal Palace...]

Pagan: Come in! I apologize for the austerity, I sent the help home. Chances are, you shot them on your way in. Now, before we begin... [goes through the drinks cabinet, picks up a bottle] Ah... to whom am I speaking? Hm? The son who returned to scatter his mother's ashes, or the lunatic who has murdered his way to the top of my mountain? If I was speaking to the first guy, then I would say, "Sit down. Let's be civilized. Enjoy some food." But... we tried that before, didn't we? At our first meeting, you sat here... [indicates the foot of the table] Paul was off applying voltage to the nipples of your rude little plus-one. I stood... just like this. And what were my exact words... ah! "Stay here. Enjoy the Crab Rangoon. Don't move. I'll be right back." Now, if you had just listened, just waited for me, then we would have come backhere straightaway, together, and scattered your mother's ashes. So you must be the second guy, who didn't listen, and decided instead to join the other monkeys and start throwing his shit around. But I'll tell you what.

[Pagan sits down at the head of the table.]

Pagan: I call a "do-over". Hm? I say you have two choices. One: You could shoot me. Boring. Or, you could sit down... enjoy some food... and you and I will go scatter your mother's ashes together.

[Player choice: Ajay does not shoot Pagan, and sits at the opposite end of the table from him.]

Pagan: So, who did you kill, hm? Was it Amita? Sabal? [digs into his plate] It doesn't really matter, I already know. I just want to hear you say it.

Ajay: Fuck you.

Pagan: Oh my goodness, boy, you didn't even blink. Well, you do realize you're just giving away your country, right? It's yours. It's always been yours. Kyrat is yours. I pulled you off the bus in the first place to pass it on to you. I suppose you could take it back... you're halfway there. One down, one to go. Not that I want to put ideas in your head. At least now we know you have a taste for doing what it takes. Well... no more putting it off, I suppose. [rises] Well, come on. And don't forget your mother.

[Ajay follows Pagan into the palace gardens, to a small shrine next to his helicopter.]

Pagan: You do realize that urn represents all that's left of the old Ajay. The "pre-Kyrat" Ajay. Once you spread those ashes, all those ties you had to that previous life... are gone. And then what happens? Well, I suppose you could do what I did after Mohan killed Lakshmana. [glances at Ajay] Oh, you didn't know that, did you? Yes, your father killed your half-sister, and then your mother killed him in return. I simply continued where she left off. I killed so many people for them. But then I realized, I was only using Lakshmana's death as an excuse to do whatever I wanted to do. Just as you use those ashes to do whatever you want to do. [grins] God damn if it isn't fun. Well! You finally made it.

[Pagan opens the shrine, revealing it to be a memorial to Lakshmana, his daughter with Ishwari Ghale.]

Pagan: You know, the one and only time I walked into this place, I came in a sane man, and came out... like this. But you... you will come out a king. Well, go on. Do what you came here to do.

[Ajay enters the shrine, and places his mother's urn next to that of Lakshmana. As he does, the helicopter outside begins to spin up its rotors. Going back out, Pagan is standing inside the helicopter.]

Pagan: All choices have consequences, Ajay! I've given you Kyrat... but I'm keeping the helicopter!

[The chopper lifts off.]

---

[Hidden ending: At the beginning, if Ajay stays at the table at De Pleur's mansion, Pagan returns about 10 minutes later, throwing his coat over a nearby chair.]

Pagan: Oh, fan-bloody-tastic. You, sir, are a gentleman. I sincerely apologize. We saw terrorists in the area, and yada yada. The Crab Rangoon, right? It's... [pauses while Darpan screams] ...fabulous. Mm! Well, come on, let's go!

[Ajay rises from the table. A loading screen later, Pagan's chopper lands in the gardens of the Royal Palace.]

Pagan: Three-point landing! [to Ajay] You know, part of me is surprised your mother asked for you to bring her all the way back here. [a Royal Guard opens the door of the chopper] Thank you, Kamran!

Ajay: You... want me to follow you?

Pagan: Jesus Christ... yes, boy, the ashes aren't going to scatter themselves! [Ajay exits the chopper] Did your mother ever tell you about your father?

Ajay: Never, no.

Pagan: Mohan, the great protector of the Golden Path? [scoffs] He was a cunt. He whored your mother out, sent her to spy on me. But we fell in love, we had a child, and that is when Mohan showed his true colors. He drove you and your mother away, even killed your sister, Lakshmana. Which brings us here.

[Pagan opens the shrine, revealing it to be a memorial to Lakshmana, his daughter with Ishwari Ghale.]

Pagan: Lakshmana shouldn't be alone anymore. I'm so glad we're finally back together. [inclines his head to the door] After you.

[Ajay enters the shrine, and places his mother's urn next to that of Lakshmana. He heads back outside to find Pagan standing next to the chopper.]

Pagan: Oh, good. Do you feel better now? Get it out of your system? Good. And maybe now we can finally shoot some goddamn guns.

[Cue "Should I Stay or Should I Go" as Pagan and Ajay enter the chopper.]
