After chasing Anton Volkov and taking out Russian mobsters, Spetsnaz operatives and Stasi agents guarding him, he finds himself unable to open a door. The player has the option of either arresting him or killing him. If arrested, Helen Park will thank "Bell" for giving MI6 a wanted man, as they can get information out of him. If the player kills him, Park will show disappointment, stating that MI6 could have got information. In the mission "Break on Through" where Adler has "Bell" go through implanted memories, Volkov appears in a flashback with Perseus, hearing his speech about stealing an American nuke and launching it from the safety of Solovetsky.
If the truth ending is chosen, Jason Hudson states that Volkov gave the CIA information about his mafia ring in Germany. If the lie ending is chosen, however, Perseus will state that Volkov will have to be eliminated if the player captured him.
