Hi, my name is Evan Redgrave.
Hi, my name is Evan Redgrave.
John Smith. You one of the new ones? I've seen so many of you newbies…
Yes, I recently transferred to this floor.
Can you tie sea knots?
What?
And can you make a trap out of buttons?
What kind of trap?
Can you at least make an automatic shooting device from a pencil and a gum?
But why?!
I see. You're hopeless. They'll tear you to shreds within a week on this floor!
Why tear me to shreds at all?! I haven't done anything yet!
That's the point! You need to do something, you know? Otherwise...
Tell me, what would you do if you saw a man being dragged to the Shredder?
Responses
I would help
I’d help, of course. He’s a human being!
Wrong answer! Maybe it was all part of the plan?
What plan?
To drag him to the Shredder?
That’s a crime! Should I just stand there and watch someone’s murder?
No - first you have to find out what department he’s from. And only then make the decision to help him or not. Get it?
No!
Well, that's fine... It’ll all come with experience.
Walk past him
How could I help him? He might drag me in with him!
Wrong answer! If someone notices that you were there when it happened and didn’t do anything, you’ll get in trouble!
What should I do then?
It depends on which department this poor fellow works in! If it's yours - pull him out, if someone else's - push him in deeper.
You have some strange rules here...
There’s nothing strange about ‘em! We're at war - kill or be killed!
I see.
What do you want?

Ask about the Supergame
Can you tell me anything about this competition? I don't quite understand what’s going on here. What is this Supergame?
It's a rat race, and you have to compete against the most dangerous creatures on earth - office rats! Let your guard down and they’ll eat you in a second! Get it?
Not really.
The departments compete against each other. Whoever scores more points for their work wins. The winners are rewarded.
And the losers?
And the losers don't have to worry about anything anymore.
Ask about the Supergame
John, what the hell was that? They killed the whole department! The whole freaking department was thrown into the Shredder!
Well, not all of them.. There were three more people when the game started. My friend asked me to help his department. I tried my best!
What should we do? I don't want to be minced!
I don't know what you should do, but I myself already have a couple of ideas... Do you, by any chance, have any poison?
What for?! We just need to win this stupid game!
“Just win the game”... If it were that simple, it wouldn’t be called the Supergame. It takes courage, cunning and nerves of steel!
But I want no part in this!
That's too bad. Don't have nerves of steel? Then grow an ass of iron!
What do you mean?
Work, Evan!
Ask about family
John, do you have a family?
Why do you ask?
Sorry, I'm just wondering.
Family is a weakness that your enemies can exploit. Do you have a family?
Responses
Tell the truth
Yes, I have a family!
Idiot! What did I just tell you? Family is a weakness! Either give it up, or never tell anyone here about it. Capisce?
Lie
No!
So what's that ring on your finger? It’s these little things that can give you away! Your rivals will grab you by the short and curlies and you’ll only see your family before you take a dive into the Shredder.
But why would I jump in there?
There are a thousand reasons on this floor why you’d want to die, Evan. Your family being kidnapped isn’t even the worst of them. The important thing is to jump in before them, so that you don’t have to see what happens next…
I’ll bear that in mind...
Reply evasively
Why do you ask?
Well done! You're learning quickly. I respect that.
Ask about the Ministry
Can you tell me anything interesting about the Ministry?
If you're interested, I can tell you how to incapacitate a person using a safety pin. You just need to stick it riiight here…
Get your hands off me!
Sorry, I got a little carried away.
Ask about the Shredder
John, tell me about the Shredder.
If I were you, I’d stay away from it. You might slip and fall, or someone might help you slip and fall...
How is that possible?
Everything is possible here, Evan! To survive, you need experience and balls of steel, like mine.
Balls of steel?
Yes, that’s the price you pay for experience! So stay away from the Shredder.
Talk about colleagues
Responses
Ask about Gloria Melfi
What can you tell me about Gloria?
She belongs at the end of a chain.
What chain?
The food chain! While our rivals are busy eating her, the rest will have time to escape.
Why so cruel?
We’re not cruel - life is. Gloria just isn’t cut out for this floor. She said that her son was a paratrooper - now he’s the kind of person we could use around here!
Ask about Hank Wright
Hank’s a normal guy. He’d be outstanding if he drank less.
Ask about Rose Everdeen
John, do you know Rose well?
They say that Rose invented the Supergame to show her loyalty to the Leader. You reckon a normal person could come up with something like that?
Ask about Albert DeSalvo
What do you think of the boss of this floor?
The boss sees everything. The boss hears everything. Be careful! Otherwise, he might call you to his office!
And why is everyone so afraid of that?
There are a lot of rumors. One day, about thirty people went in, and only DeSalvo came out. With a contented smile.

Hi, John! Want to take part in the quiz?
Sorry, friend, I'm busy. I want to set a trap for the neighbouring department in the third section.
What kind of trap?
Just an average table-leg trap with paper camouflage. Don't distract me!
Everdeen said employees from the 12th floor aren’t invited this time. So take a walk around the square or the streets - they are full of people with nothing to do.
John, can I ask you one question?
Sure, Evan.
Who are you?
How do you mean? I’m John Smith, everyone here knows me!
But the Ministry’s information system doesn't know who John Smith is, even though it contains information about every employee. It doesn’t have your age, personal history - nothing! How is that, John?
Didn’t anyone ever tell you that wanting to know too much can win you a one-way trip to the Shredder?
Responses
Use your Authority
Stop trying to pull the wool over my eyes, will you?
Diavolo! I told that cretino that this would happen... And now it’s happened! My name is Anthony Solerno, but my friends call me Fat Tony.
Wait a minute! Are you that mafia guy who ratted out his accomplices and the whole of the arms and drug-trafficking network? Jeez, I read about you in the newspaper about five years ago. I thought you were sent to prison and shot!
Wasn’t sent to prison, wasn’t shot. I told them everything I knew about the mafia, and in return they gave me a new name, got me into the Ministry and told me to wait until everything settled down.
So are you here under a witness protection program?
Si! They gave me a handler who was supposed to keep me informed, but I've been calling this cretino for two years now and the only answer I get is silence!
So why don't you go find out what happened?
I can’t leave the Ministry without identification!
Wow!
Evan, caro amico, you won't tell anyone Fat Tony's secret, will you?
Don't worry, John... I mean, Tony...
Fat Tony, per favore!
OK, Fat Tony! I won't give away your secret.
Va bene! Evan, could you help me? I want to know where my handler, that cazzone, has gone. I tried looking in the archive, but was denied access.
I’ll let you know if I find anything out.
You’d better get outta here, Evan! With your Authority, you’d be lucky to scare one of the office cockroaches!
Back
John. I mean, Tony...
Fat Tony, per favore!
Yes, I’m sorry. I found out what happened to your handler. He’s dead and no one’s been working on his cases. Looks like they just forgot about you.
Forgot? They forgot about me? Bastardo! Mascalzone! Canaglia!
Alright, Tony, calm down.
Fat Tony, per favore! You don't understand! They promised they’d guard my family too!
So you do have a family?
Madonna! Of course, every mafioso has a family! And I also have a wife and child. But I don't know their current address - those canaglia wouldn’t even tell me! Can you find out what happened to them?
Responses
Agree
Okay, I'll try to find something out.
Madonna! Evan, you are a saint!
Refuse
John. I mean, Tony...
Fat Tony, per favore!
Well, yes, how could I forget... Sorry, I have a lot to do. The Supergame won't wait, and I don't want to end up in the Shredder.
Evan! I’m begging you! Ever since I found out about my handler I’ve been worried that something has happened to my family! I’m out of my mind here!
Responses
Agree to help
Fine, fine. I’ll help you. Where can I find their new address?
Well, you found out about me somehow. How’d you do that, by the way?
Let that be my secret, Tony.
Fat Tony, per favore!
Do you always correct everyone?
Mia colpa!
Refuse to help
I have absolutely no time! Sorry, Tony!
Fat Tony, per favore!
Do you always correct everyone?
Mia colpa!
John... I mean, Tony...
Fat Tony, per favore!
I found out where your family is living... Or was living…
Mamma mia! Have they moved again? Did you see my Rosabella and Victor?
I'm sorry, Fat Tony, but... There was a fire in your home, there was nothing left…
All I found was this ring.
Mio Dio! This is Rosabella's engagement ring! She never took it off... Mio Dio…
Thanks for bringing it to me, Evan.
I swear on the Madonna, I’ll kill whoever did this!
But how will you get out of the Ministry?
With your help, Evan. I’m counting on you, caro amico.
But first I need to find out if those rats are waiting for me in the square. I’m sure they found out where I am and have already set up an ambush.
I swear on the Madonna, I’ll kill whoever did this!
How are you going to do it? How are you going to get out of the Ministry?
With your help, Evan. I’m counting on you, caro amico.
But first I need to find out if those rats are waiting for me in the square. I’m sure they found out where I am and have already set up an ambush.
Evan, caro mio! Have you checked the square? How are my old friends? Dead, I hope?
Responses
Don't tell him about the mafia
Apart from a pair of police trackers and a dozen onlookers, there’s no one there.
It all seems too easy. The Mafia knows how to hide... Are you sure the way is clear?
Responses
Absolutely sure!
Va bene! Grazie, Evan! I'm going to get ready!
I'll check again!
My life depends on you, Evan.
Tell him about the mafia
I have good news and bad news. Which do you want first, Tony?
Fat Tony, per favore! Start with the good.
Your old friends remember you.
Merda! What's the bad news then?
A nasty-looking mobster approached me right in the square and offered me money to sell you out.
Cazzo! And what did you do? You didn’t sell Fat Tony out, did you?
Relax, I don't do that to my friends! But someone else might. They know almost everything about you.
I need to get out of here. You said we're friends, amici? Then help Fat Tony one last time, si? I need... camuffamento... a disguise and a fake pass!
Refuse to help
Honestly speaking, I didn't check anything. I have things of my own to do, so I don’t really care! And don't come to me anymore!
Evan, what happened? Why are you talking to me like that?
Responses
Insult
Because you’re an office rat, just like all the others! And a crazy one, too!
Evan, I’m your caro mio - this could end badly for you! You have insulted my honor…
Your honor? Your honor doesn’t mean shit to the people who forgot about you here in the Ministry. So you’re just going to rot here under a fake last name - isn’t that right, Smith?
My last name is Solerno! And nobody insults me like that!
Apologize
Whoa... I don't know what came over me... There's been too much going on... Sorry Tony.
Fat Tony, per favore!
Back
Sorry Tony, not yet!
Fat Tony, per favore!
Evan, caro amico, could you find a disguise and a pass for me? I need to get out of here!
Responses
Give him the things
You’ll like my idea, Tony!
Fat Tony, per favore!
Whatever you say, friend, whatever you say!
Refuse to help
Tony, this is your war. I won’t help you.
Fat Tony. And that's your right, Redgrave. You’ve already done enough for me.

Sorry Tony, not yet!
Fat Tony, per favore!
Do you remember Rabindranath Wright? Hank's brother - he worked on this floor.
Yes, I remember. He disappeared a month ago.
Just disappeared?
Well, yes. Just stopped showing up to work and that's it.
Do you remember anything unusual about that day?
Hmm... That day, I was hunting for clerks loitering around the paper tray. I remember the boss coming out of his office, looking my way and smiling. You know, it felt like he had seen right through me, despite me lurking like a professional... It was creepy.
That's all?
Yes, I don't remember anything unusual besides that. Just an ordinary day in the jungle.
Thank you.
Do you remember Rabindranath Wright? Hank's brother - he worked on this floor.
Yes, I remember. He disappeared a month ago.
Just disappeared?
Inferno! He just didn't come to work, that's all.
Do you know Hank? Can you explain something to me?
What, old Hank told you to get lost?
Yeah! I didn't say anything to him at all, but he…
Don’t talk to him when he’s hungover. There’s no point - he'll either swear at you or come at you with his fists…
How can you work with him?
We just wait for him to get drunk!
At work? That can’t be safe!
Who cares? If he falls into the Shredder, that's his fault! But when he's drunk, you can at least talk to him!
I don't have time to talk about this.
