Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell
Sam Fisher, a soldier who has served his country for 20 years, talks about the Fifth Freedom, a right that allows him to break laws, steal secrets, and take lives in order to protect the country. He acknowledges that if he is captured or killed, nobody will come to rescue him and he won't even receive a funeral because his existence cannot be admitted by the nation he protects. Despite this, he emphasizes that today is not the day for his death. He identifies himself as Sam Fisher, also known as Splinter Cell. Few presidents have ever granted the Fifth Freedom. It's the right to defend our laws by breaking them, to safeguard secrets by stealing them, to save lives by taking them, to do whatever it takes to protect our country. The Fifth Freedom is mine alone. I am a soldier. I've served my country for 20 years. But if I'm captured or killed, I know that nobody will come to rescue me. I won't even get a funeral, because the nation I protect can never admit that I exist. So my death would go unremarked. My bones would go unclaimed. I don't know if that day will come, but I do know that it must not be today. I am Sam Fisher. I am Splinter Cell.
