Follow the map to the Carter Hydro Dam on the other side of Mystery Lake. The gate to the staging area will be locked. The key is found on the desk in a nearby trailer. On a shelf in the same trailer is the Medicinal Plants of Great Bear skill book, if it had not been picked up in Episode 1. When unlocking the gate, a cutscene will begin in which the Old Bear tries to attack Mackenzie, but Mackenzie closes the gate to stop its charge. Mackenzie is thrown to the ground and knocked unconscious. The player will be freezing when he comes to.

Enter the Carter Hydro Dam. In the bathroom on the first floor is a corpse with a key to the admin office and a Forest Talker note. An emergency case with a Distress Pistol lies on the floor.

Go up the stairs to the second floor. On a desk near the elevator are some radio parts the player will need to pick up. Open the door to the admin office. On the desk is the key to the medical supply locker. The medical supply locker is a red locker against the wall in the second floor office space. Opening the locker will yield a medical supply kit.

On a desk in the office space is a note to find a supply cache in Alan's Cave.

Return to Jeremiah. The mission ends with a cutscene in which Jeremiah attempts to fix the shortwave radio in his cabin using the radio parts Mackenzie brought back from the dam, while telling the story of the Bear Spear.
