[[caption-width-right:350:'''Carmen:''' We need to recap, <Player's Name>. We've got a dead satellite engineer on our hands, and a secret SOMBRA factory hidden under Mount Khan.]]
The Bureau arrives to Mount Khan, Mongolia, to look for SOMBRA's secret facility where they are building a satellite that will allow them hijack all of Earth's devices. There, Carmen and the player stumble onto the body of COSMORUS satellite engineer Andrei Beloglazov, partially sliced in a half with a saber.
!!Tropes:
*AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Anya has started to see the player as this, accusing them of upstaging her back in Moscow and making her look bad, which is why she decided to come to Mongolia alone: so she could redeem herself by stopping SOMBRA.
*AstonishinglyAppropriateInterruption:
-->'''Lars:''' The blood on it was your victim's. But I was intrigued by the mask itself, so I called-
-->'''Carmen:''' [[TheFriendNobodyLikes Tell me you didn't-]]
-->'''Dupont:''' We meet again, mes chers amis!
*CallBack: [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase13MoscowMole Anya Ivanova]], [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase15ODeadlyNight Asal Hawaa, and Yelena Tereshkova]] reappear as suspects.
*CityMouse: Asal calls Jack a city boy after he apparently failed to distinguish between a horse and a yak.
*{{Cliffhanger}}: The case ends with the Bureau rushing to a compromised COSMORUS launch site in Kazakhstan, since SOMBRA is planning to launch their satellite from there in no time.
*ContinuityNod: Carmen recalls [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase12DieByTheSword how bad Angela's photo skills were]] when you find a blurry picture of the victim.
*CoolAndUnusualPunishment: As a punishment for failing her mission back in Moscow, the MGB has sent Anya to the Mongolian countryside to check on horses and yaks. Later {{Subverted}}, though, as it's revealed she was actually sent to spy on the victim... then it gets [[DoubleSubversion Double Subverted]] when Anya confesses she's on an unofficial mission so she can thwart SOMBRA by herself.
*CoolMask: The killer used a traditional Mongolian mask while killing the victim, [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/2_426.png and Lars later puts it on]] to scare off Carmen.
*DoubleAgent: The victim was a satellite engineer from COSMORUS who was also working alongside SOMBRA.
*EasilyForgiven: Jack has already forgiven Asal about [[Recap/CriminalCaseWorldEditionCase15ODeadlyNight killing someone and hiding it from him]], as they're seen together mounting a yak.
-->'''Carmen:''' Honestly, is there anything that boy won't forgive?
*ElaborateUndergroundBase: SOMBRA has a massive underground factory just below Mount Khan where they're working on their satellite, which is acceded through the head of one of the mount's statues.
*HalfTheManHeUsedToBe: Somewhat. The victim was partially sliced in a half from shoulder to hip, but those halves remained connected until you found the body.
*HiddenInPlainSight: The entrance to SOMBRA's factory is through the head of a statue in Mount Khan.
*HorseOfADifferentColor: You encounter Jack and Asal riding a yak during this case.
*ImprovisedWeapon: The killer murdered the victim with a saber taken off a statue.
*KnockKnockJoke: Carmen tries to [[{{Defied}} defy]] this by refusing to participate in Lars' knock knock joke, but fails when he decides to play both parts anyway.
*LoveHurts: Batbayar was in love with Andrei, who in return only treated him like a momentarily romance as he had planned to leave Mongolia as soon as he was done with the satellite.
*MetaphoricallyTrue: When Carmen questions Asal about why she didn't reveal anything about knowing where SOMBRA's factory was, she says she didn't lie, but was just economical with the truth.
*MexicanStandoff: A brief one happens between Anya, Asal, and Carmen during an argument about who should be leading the investigation.
*NeverHurtAnInnocent: Tsetseg's only rule as a hitwoman is not hurting children, women, or horses.
*NotGoodWithPeople: Yelena tells you she prefers being among the Mongolian horses since they don't care or judge about how she's a failed cosmonaut.
*OneLastJob: Tsetseg was planning on retiring after killing Andrei and becoming a horse breeder for her family's stables. Unfortunately for her, she ended up getting caught.
*OnlyOneName: Both Batbayar and Tsetseg have only one name. {{Justified}}, as Dupont explains how Mongolians have traditionally been identified by their first name alone.
*ProfessionalKiller: Tsetseg, the killer, is a hitwoman who was ordered to assassinate the victim to "tie up loose ends."
*RunningGag: Angela makes another Matryoshka doll, this time of Marina.
*SayingTooMuch: Tsetseg does this when she reveals she killed Andrei to tie up loose ends for SOMBRA, confirming that the satellite has been completed.
-->'''Carmen:''' If they considered him a loose end, his job must have been complete. Does that mean the satellite has been finished?!
-->'''Tsetseg:''' I... I didn't mean to let that slip! Gosh darn it! I'll say no more!
*ShoutOut: The case's title is like a reference to ''Film/BrokebackMountain.''
*YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: SOMBRA ordered the hit on Andrei after he finished working on the satellite, since they considered him to be a loose end.
*YoureJustJealous: When Carmen criticizes Anya for not witnessing the victim's murder despite being in charge of spying on him, she accuses you of just being jealous about not having an agent like her in the Bureau.
