Now I'm pretty impressed with the way you handled that Dobranski business. There's a man who's corrupt to his bones. Deserves what he got. I've worked with you long enough now to give you some personal advise. But first, lemme tell you little 'bout myself you may not know... You know that I just returned from a mission to Italy. You also know that I'm retired military. Fought in every war from 'Nam to the Gulf. What you don't know is that I'm retired CIA. Expert, trained hitman. But, I'm getting ahead of myself

Walkthrough

You won't need anything particular for this specific mission. It's the first bonus one, and you won't be able to select weapons. (The same thing happens to the other three bonus ones) You're assuming the role of Stone with only one gun and one bullet. With that said, you ALSO have a neck snap ability; sneak behind non-moving enemies with no weapons and hit the square button. Completing this mission, or the Carthage ones with par, will unlock the neck snap for your normal character. (Lian Xing, Lawrence Mujari and Gabe Logan will also have this ability)

1) Run towards the tunnel - stop when you get by the entrance and sneak/roll. 

2) Near the end, 2 guys will be talking. One guy says something about 3:00 - that's the cue that he's leaving.

3) Snap the neck of the guy just standing there. Pick up the body and carry it across the street by the barrels. On the opposite side of the barrels you should see an open area and a ladder - drop the body and slide down the ladder.

4) Jump up the crate, into the sewer, and turn left at the end. Once you're out of the sewer, immediately head for the low wall on the right.

5) Jump up the wall, then climb (NOT FALL) down the other side (X button to climb down). Snap the dude's neck here and jump up/over the stairs.

6) You'll see another guy ahead but don't go for him yet - you'll throw off the timing of the patrol near the C4 area. Instead, head left, and when you get a bogey on your radar slow down and go into "roll mode".

7) There's an opening on your right - roll in there. The guy that was on your radar should be making a turn around the corner ahead - keep rolling!

8) When you catch up to him, sneak walk behind him until he stops - then snap his neck. Leave the body!

9) Head back to the street you were on, but before getting on it, run right against the nearby wall and plant the decoy C4. (use your radar if you somehow get lost)

> Objective Complete: Set decoy explosives

10) Back in the street, run left to go back towards the stairs you were at earlier.

11) Hug the left side of the street now and go past the stairs. Sneak walk behind the guy you saw earlier: snap/crackle/pop his ass.

12) Hug the right side of the street this time. Just past a red door is an opening in the wall (gray) - head for it and hide. Another gringo patrols this street - look for him on radar.

13) When this guy passes the opening you're hidden in, sneak (quickly) left and get behind him and snap his neck when he stops. Leave the body.

14) Continue down the street. You should see a large staircase in front of you, and one to your right.

15) There is a guard on the right staircase. When he's not facing your direction, head to the left of the staircase and crouch behind it.

16) This guy's patrol will eventually put him back near the bottom of the stairs. When he gets there, roll/sneak behind him as soon as he turns around and heads off again.

17) Follow him by rolling until he stops and - snap! 

18) Rush back down the stairs, head to the far wall (right) and go up the other set of stairs you saw.

19) Up here, hide by the farthest opening/"window" (it's the 2nd one you'll see).

20) Bring out the rifle, go to manual aim, and then zoom in on the floor by the church.

21) At around 1:00 remaining, you should see a bearded guy exit the church. This is the target. Keep your aim steady (manual zoom), and wait. You can't take him out until the bells toll.

22) When the full 5:00 are up, and the bells start ringing - pop off the shot as the bell sounds.

> Objective Complete: Assassinate Dimitri by the bell tower at 3:00 PM

23) Book your ass back to the beginning of the level the way you came.

>Objective Complete: Move to extraction point

Trivia
