A flashcard indicates the time being set 10 years in the past, in 2009 in Tobrak, Urzikstan. Farah Karim awakens in solitary confinement to Hadir's voice, who leads her to her prison door. Hadir speaks to his sister directly across from her cell, where he asks her about her condition and confinement. Hadir proceeds to toss Farah a key he stole earlier, and tells her to hide it away. General Barkov walks into the prison hallway, where he snidely remarks about the two siblings being together. Hadir responds defiantly to Barkov's sarcasm, only to be met with a taser shock. Barkov orders his men to carry Hadir to a warehouse, and Barkov begins to demoralize Farah by threatening her hope of escaping. Barkov drinks a canteen of water, and proceeds to offer Farah some water, but quickly empties it after to taunt her. If Farah were to reach for Bakrov's stun baton, a prison guard will shoot her, killing her instanty. Barkov escorts Farah into a nearby interrogation room, and a guard straps her into a chair. Barkov begins to interrogate Farah after promising to ease her experience, and starts to question Farah about a failed message sent by "Commander Karim". Farah chooses between four options:
Tell the truth and reveal that she is Karim - Barkov will deny this, saying that "Karim" is only Farah's messenger.
Curse at Barkov - Barkov scolds Farah for her profanity.
Lie and tell Barkov that Karim is dead - Barkov scolds Farah for lying, and tells her to protect herself over "Karim".
Stay silent, either by choosing the ellipsis or waiting for the timer to run out - Barkov reprimands Farah for her silence.
All options lead to Barkov waterboarding Farah.
A guard assists Barkov as he lays Farah down and wraps a cloth around her face. The guard will begin to pour water over her mouth, and Farah must shift her head away from the water to take breaths and avoid passing out. During this process, Barkov will encourage Farah tauntingly. Eventually, Farah is lifted back up, resuming the interrogation. Failing to breathe or breathing in water will result in Farah going unconscious, after which she will be forced to endure the process again, with Barkov expressing his disappointment. If Farah fails again, Barkov will continue the interrogation, telling her to toughen up next time.
Barkov will ask Farah the same question as last time, and Farah will display the same options, with only minor differences. A guard will throw one of Farah's allies, Azadeh, into the room, and Barkov threatens to kill her if she passes out. Barkov prepares to waterboard Farah again, making it tougher than the last time. This time, the water stream will follow Farah more actively, and Barkov will offer both words of encouragement and discouragement. If Farah fails to hold her breath, she will reawaken to Barkov executing Azadeh. If she lives, Barkov will give Farah a chance to save Azadeh. Barkov will give Farah a third and final chance to answer his question. All choices except telling the truth lead to Barkov executing Azadeh. If Farah chooses to tell the truth this time, Barkov will accept her answer and spare Azadeh, much to the latter's dismay. Azadeh is dragged away, and Barkov pistol whips Farah, knocking her out.
Farah awakens chained to her prison bed, where Barkov offers her a bowl of food. Regardless of whether Farah accepts it or does nothing, Barkov will throw the bowl against the wall in frustration and yell at Farah, aware of the key Hadir stole earlier. If Azadeh was killed, Barkov will reveal he knew Farah was Karim all along. Farah is given another set of answers when asked where the key is:
