La historia comienza con la Señorita Pauling y un cinematografo (el eponimo "Director") acompañando al RED [[Sniper/es|Sniper]] conduciendo a [[2Fort/es|Teufort]]. El Director inciste en hacerle preguntas al Sniper y tratando de pintarlo como una victima, hasta el punto donde el Mercenario lo amenaza de violencia. Al llegar, la Señorita Pauling le asegura al Sniper que las entrevistas son relaciones publicas, para mostrale al público que los mercenarios son más que "sólo psycopatas armados." En el cuarto de control, la [[Administrator/es|Administrator]] da a concer su verdadero motivo a Pauling: mantenerse al tanto de los mercenarios, quien ella cree, apesar de su aparente poca inteligencia son muy peligrosos si no se les espia de vez en cuando.

El Director intenta entrevistar al los restantes RED, con muy poco exito. Mientras tanto, un mensajero desconocido esta siendo detenido e interrogado por los mercenarios RED - Se es implicado que cada persona siendo entrevistada ha sido chantajeada con fotos potencialmente dañinas (menos el Soldier, cuya [[Meet the Soldier/es|colección de cabezas]] fue robada y se pidio un rescate por élla.) La Administrator aparece en una television miniatura montada en el pecho del ahora agente muerto y revela que ella fue la fuente de la fotos (y cabezas robadas), demostrando su alcance y formas posibles de contra-actuar si es que los mercenarios divulgan informacion de su contrato.

The story begins with Miss Pauling and the Director riding along with the RED [[Sniper]] in his camper van as he drives to a battle at [[2Fort]]. The Director constantly asks the Sniper insulting questions about his work and home life and makes remarks about his sanity. The Sniper is obviously aggravated, even threatening the Director with physical violence. Upon arrival, Miss Pauling reminds Sniper that the interviews are an attempt at positive PR, intended to save face with the locals of Badlands, New Mexico.

En otra parte, la Señorita Pauling lleva al Director a una mina bajo la mentira de una entrevista con la Administrator.

The scene then cuts to a discussion Miss Pauling previously shared with the [[Administrator]], wherein she reveals to Miss Pauling her true motive for hiring the Director: keeping tabs on the mercenaries.

Back in the present, several RED mercenaries capture and shoot a messenger sent by the Administrator and interrogate him.

Elsewhere, Miss Pauling leads the Director into a mineshaft under the guise of an interview with the Administrator. As the Director makes his way inside, Pauling asks the Administrator over a phone if she should hold off on killing the Director, noting he never got a chance to interview [[BLU]].  The Administrator says to dispose of him anyway, remarking that she will simply have to find some new directors.
