11/26/2025 - "Ten Steps Ahead."

Start of The Day.
-# Eve still ICU, "Leon The Spy" in NB, convo with Brian.
Saab shows Lang the new defense tower with great views.
Lang wants to transfer all properties from Sofia to someone more active.

Lang calls Bjorn to check in. Eve is still in ICU. The guild wants to retaliate but Bjorn holds them back. Lang says Bjorn's becoming the "key of it all".

Leon is undercover as "Jose" in NB. Lang tells Saab to reveal Leon's true identity on the mic. Eliza punched Saab for doing that.

Lang meets with Brian and Ruth. He asks about Leon. Brian thinks he is a scapegoat for Faceless assets. Lang says NB is becoming a safe haven for the Faceless refugees.
Lang tells them about the Faceless asset in the tunnel that CJ encountered and hands them the phone he had on him.
Brian said 4head wont be focusing on NB because they have evidence that Brandon Valentino is snitching out Faceless assets (4head being one of them).

Bazin pleads to Lang to change his job in NB (again). He wants to work in his lab again. Lang denies it.

People Sneaking Around Roosters.
-# People are sneaking around Roosters, Lang finds out who and shoots them.
CJ calls and warns Lang she 2 people around Roosters on her camera. Lang, Saab and CJ drive there. CJ sees the 2 waving at the camera and they catch them driving away on their bike.
CJ texts Lang a photo of the 2 on the camera. Lang thinks it must be the guild and calls Bjorn, they decide to meet in Paleto.
At the guilds' house, he sees Lexi and Johnny Sinatra in the exact outfits from the camera photo. He holds them up and questions them. He shoots Johnny and drives off.

Lang arrives at the end of the town meeting covered in blood and people are concerned.

Ten Steps Behind.
-# The Faceless contacted Lang with a message for him to decipher; a Talon member is kidnapped.
Lang picks up CJ to check Roosters. The radio in the Roosters basement suddenly plays, warning about violence activities and the Faceless.
The broadcast is interrupted by a strange voice, threatening Lang and the artifacts, saying to look for the double and triple meaning behind things.

Lang is pinged anonymously. At the location is a tablet chip and the newspaper with the Faceless asset article from a week back, that had a hidden message inside it saying: "10 steps ahead."
CJ decoded another message: "All the history, even shadow, run."
The chip grants access to the asset app from the Faceless. They are looking for a login code hidden in the paper.

After many attempts, Lang puts in "tenstepsaheadshadow" and he gets in.
The app shows footage of a bodycam of Faceless assets driving a van in Liberty city. On the radio they receive instructions to find someone, from the same voice that interrupted the radio broadcast earlier. At the destination, the guys in the van kidnap Denzel.
The Faceless have Denzel, a Talon member, captive.

End of The Day.
-# Lang goes to Liberty City, gives instructions to CJ and Saab. Skipper asks about the dark timelord.
Back at the basement, Lang and CJ notice the video was taken in 2025 and think of when they saw Denzel last.
Lang is planning on going to Liberty City to look further into Denzel.
Lang tells CJ to look after Roosters and the tunnels and despite not fulfilling her Talon training, it's time for her to step up.

Lang meets Saab at the airport to tell him what he's discovered. Lang is giving Saab instructions on how to hold down NB until Lang returns either Thursday or Friday.

Skipper calls saying he was questioned by Delver about the dark timelord and he is panicking saying he doesn't know anything. Lang directs him to Bjorn.

Lang catches his flight and an alien starts messing with NB.
