This page includes a transcript of The Shark and the Lure, the second Allied mission of Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3.[1]
Introduction[]
Bingham: Good... Congratulations, Commander! You sent those bastards packing! They'll bloody well think twice before they try to invade us again.
Ackerman: That was a win-win for everyone, Commander. Well, not the Reds. For them it was more of a lose-lose. It's too bad our other commanders don't have your can do attitude. I'll tell you what, Bingham, I like this new commander. Let's send 'em to France so he can kick a little more commie butt.
Bingham: Actually, sir, I was considering that very possibility.
Ackerman: I guess great minds do think alike. And just to show you I'm not all talk, I'm sending you our toughest, meanest covert commando. Boys, I'd like you to meet... Tanya.
Tanya: Hello, gentlemen.
Ackerman: Tanya's the best we have. She can kill a man fifteen different ways with her bare hands. So a word of advice. Don't get on her bad side.
Tanya: Commander, the Soviet General you beat back at Brighton Beach has retreated to the south of France. He captured Cannes and kidnapped all our brass down there. I'll take out their naval port, but you'll have to take care of the rest.
Briefing[]
Eva: Allied forces are spread across Europe, trying to re-take what the Soviets have conquered. But you are needed in the south of France, where the Soviets have set up a strategic naval port. They've also captured some Allied officials and are holding them hostage in the area. Special Agent Tanya will assist you on the ground. Bonne chance, Commander.
Mission summary[]
Intelligence: The Soviets are entrenched in Cannes and have set up a naval blockade in this region. We cannot attack head-on. However, we have detected vulnerabilities in the Soviet perimeter and are sending an infiltration team to break through their ranks. Here is what we need you to do:
- Infiltrate the Soviet island-harbors.
- Find a way to eliminate the naval blockade.
- Leaders from several Allied nations are pinned in the Convention Center. Clear the Soviet forces from the area so they can evacuate.
- We also have a wing of Allied aircraft trapped here. Try to recover it if possible.
Agent Tanya will be joining you for this mission. Good luck.
Mission objectives[]
- Get the Spies into the Port Buildings
- Get Tanya into the Port Authority Building
- Sink the Dreadnoughts
- Save the Allied Leaders

Commander Warren Fuller - Not one for mincing words, Warren has survived numerous battles against the Soviets through regimented training, determination, and tenacity. Once captured by the Soviets, he fought his way to freedom with his bare hands. His men know he has a score to settle.
Mission script[]
Eva: The Soviets have control of the port and are holding important Allied leaders hostage. You'll need to rescue them and take out the port. For that, you'll need Tanya. This is going to be-
Tanya: -Yeah, yeah. We're short on time here. Commander, I'm going be your commando on the ground. Are you ready? Alright, let's go!
Primary Objective 1: Get Spies into the Port Buildings[]
Warren: Sir! Commander Warren here. My men will hold off the Soviet ground attacks and go after the hostages. It's time we hit back!
[When Warren captures an Observation Post]
Warren: Observation Post captured. Now we can see what the Soviets are up to.
[Upon visiting the first island]
Tanya: Alright Commander, let's get going.
Spy: Hm, this Agent Tanya... she intrigues me.
Tanya: Gah, Tesla Coils! Commander, I need you to send our Spies in and take down their power. That'll give me enough time to run in and blow up those defenses.
Conscript: So Premier says, "Well if that is bear, then where its beloved mother?" Gah ha ha ha ha! Oh that Premier, he's such a cult.
Spy: Perhaps, in con, I would never past muster.
Spy: Ah yes, you can always spot the commies by their most unpleasant odor.
Spy: Mm hm, nothing to see here, comrad.
Conscript: Moving out.
Intelligence: Commander, those Russian Bears operate mainly by smell- they can sniff out disguised Spies. If the Spies are detected, they'll lose their disguise.
[When a Spy infiltrates a Port Building:]
Spy: Charges in place./Charges set.
[Once one island's Port Buildings have been infiltrated]
Tanya: One island ready, let's get to the other.
[Upon killing a War Bear in water]
Tanya: Bears in the water? They're so cute, when they're dead!
Conscript: Did you hear something?
[After clearing the primary objective]
Spy: [Mumbs and humbs]
Primary Objective 2: Save the Allied Leaders[]
[Upon completing the objective:]
Peacekeeper: That's how you secure an area.
Primary Objective 3: Get Tanya into the Port Authority Building[]
[Upon completing the objective]
Tanya: The trap is set. Time to lure in the victims.
Tanya (via loudspeaker): Attention Soviet fleet: Return to harbor immediately. There is evidence of onboard insurgents. All vehicles subject to search. [Various explosives around the port buildings go off, destroying the Akula subs, Naval Yards and inactive Dreadnoughts.] So long, suckers!
Tanya: We've got them on the run, Commander! Let's press and finish 'em off!
Primary Objective 4: Sink the Soviet Dreadnoughts[]
Tanya: Beautiful sitting ducks. So much firepower and nowhere to go but down.
Moskvin: Ha ha ha! Watching Allied vehicles explode is all the entertainment I'll ever need!
Warren: Those Dreadnoughts are making it real hard to advance on the Soviet's base. Are you going to take 'em out, Commander?
Primary Objective 5: Wipe Out the Soviet Base[]
Moskvin: This is getting boring....are you still planning to attack me? Heh, if you have courage, I'm waiting for you right here.
[Upon completing the objective]
Moskvin: My base... you destroyed it! I know who you are now, and I will see to your end! This is personal.
Completion[]
Tanya: Nice job, Commander! You know, I think you and I make a pretty good team.
Eva: Nice work. That was well-played. The Allied leaders are safe and Cannes has been liberated. I think General Bingham will be rather impressed.
Mission failure[]
[Having the Boot Camp destroyed and Tanya killed before completing Primary Objectives 1 and 3]
Intelligence: Without Tanya or a Barracks, you'll be unable to continue. Mission aborted.
[When being defeated in any way, including the Port Authority Building being destroyed before completing Primary Objective 3 and the player's base being destroyed during Primary Objectives 4 and 5]
Tanya: Maybe you just weren't cut out for this kind of work.
