The story begins with Nathan "Nate" Drake and Victor "Sully" Sullivan entering a pub in London to meet with a man named Talbot, who is interested in purchasing Nate's ring. During the meeting, Nate and Sully accuse Talbot of offering them counterfeit banknotes, and a fight ensues. After fighting their way past Talbot's thugs, Nate and Sully emerge in an alleyway, where they are surrounded and subdued by Charlie Cutter, Talbot's cohort. They are then approached by Talbot's client, Katherine Marlowe , who steals Drake's ring. Nate attempts to go after her, but Cutter guns him and Sully down, seemingly killing them.
