Transcript[]

The Control Node[]

[GDI Central Command]
[Washington, DC]
[Blue Zone B-2]

Granger: Excellent work, Commander. Just as we hoped your victory has set an example for the rest of our forces. Now we've got strike teams all over the board taking down those damn towers.

Telfair: Actually, we just got word. There's only one tower left standing.

Telfair gets up and opens the monitor to the map of Italy.

Telfair: Right here in the middle of the Med, or what used to be the Med... and get this: the only reason why that one tower is standing is because of Nod. They've got an unusually large force there for reasons we can't explain, they seem to be trying to protect the tower.

Granger: God only knows what they're up to but that's not your problem Commander, there's more work to be done in Italy.

Telfair: The invaders have some kind of Control Node. Probably not a coincidence this is Ground Zero, the first spot Tiberium appeared on Earth. According to Dr. Ibrahiim, this node regulates the flow of Tiberium radiation to all their units. Now without Tiberium their units will stop functioning. Stop the units, stop the invasion.

Boyle's Offer[]

[GDI Reinforced Bunker]
[Reykjavik, Iceland]
[Blue Zone B-15]

Boyle: [Turns on light] Commander, there's something you need to know... General Granger is withholding vital intelligence from you, intelligence that could save your life! Under my guidance, GDI Weapons-Tech used the materials we confiscated from Nod to build our own liquid Tiberium bomb, which I've taken the liberty of arming your troops with. Now Granger, he'd rather have you try and gut out a victory against impossible odds, why? Because I'm a political threat to him! If my plan wins this war he's irrelevant, at least that's how the media will see him... but they'll see you as a hero, IF you end this war quickly. This isn't about me or Granger, Commander! This is about you! This is your time, MAKE YOUR MARK ON HISTORY!
