The Master and the Molotov/Script

Niko: Dimitri

Dimitri: Hey. Sit down.

Niko: What's the problem?

Dimitri: What do you think?

Niko: Mikhail. Mr. Faustin.

Dimitri: Uh huh. You're given a choice, kill your best friend, or die... what do you do?

Niko: And there is no way out?

Dimitri: Not now. Not after you killed Petrovic's son.

Niko: You don't have any family. You could run.

Dimitri: Wherever you go, people will find you, if they want to badly enough. And for this they want blood.

Niko: But you and Mikhail, you have so much history.

Dimitri: Sure.

Niko: Well I killed the boy, so they want me too.

Dimitri: No. I told them you were a hired gun. And they said as long as you were the one to kill him, you'd be spared.

Niko: So that's the way it is?

Dimitri: Yes, that's the way it is. He'll be leaving his house in a little while and heading for the club. Do what you have to do. You know, if there is one thing I have learned, it's that we must obey the rules of the game. We can pick the game, Niko Bellic, but we cannot change the rules. See you later.

(Upon arriving at Perestroika, Niko gets a text message from Dimitri)

Niko - there can be no mistakes with this. Mikhail is a dangerous man. I have left some protection for you around the side of the club. Your friend, Dimitri.

(Niko confronts Mikhail inside the club)

Mikhail: Niko. Niko Bellic. You and Dimitri are taking over, no?

Niko: This is not about taking over. You brought this on yourself. You pushed things too far.

Mikhail: You would be dead if it wasn't for me. That is what Dimitri wanted when you killed Vlad. Dimitri, my brother. You see this? This tattoo says we are brothers for life, and now he betrays me...

Niko: You didn't give him a choice. You should have been calm.

Mikhail: No one, not Dimitri, not anyone tells me to calm. You think Dimitri would have survived prison without me? He'd just be some prison queen, had I not been there. Meat for some gym monkey! I am not dead yet. Some are still loyal to me. Guards!

Failing the mission

Faustin escapes

Niko: Dimitri, Mikhail got away from me. He is still alive.

Dimitri: Shit. Does he know that I had anything to do with this? How could you be so stupid? What am I to do?

Post mission phone call

Niko: Faustin is dead.

Dimitri: You did a good thing. A hard thing, but a good thing. Hopefully this will mean peace with Petrovic.
