Volgin informs Snake of the Philosophers, a secret organization of the most powerful figures in the United States, the Soviet Union and China. They were formed a pact to win World War II and create a new world order.
The group jointly amassed $100 billion, the Philosopher’s Legacy, to finance their research and operations. After the war, the organization began to infight and disintegrated. Legacy divided and hidden in banks across the world. Volgin had illegally inherited this money. Snake also learns that U.S. is attempting to retrieve it as well.

Snake and EVA successfully flee to a lake where a WIG (aircraft which takes off from water and flies high attitude) is hidden.
Before they escape, Snake confronts the Boss and defeats her in battle. The Boss gives Snake a microfilm of the Legacy before Snake kills her. Snake and EVA escape to Alaska and stay together. In the morning, EVA disappears with microfilm given by The Boss and leaves a tape behind which reveals herself to be a Chinese spy sent to steal the Legacy for China.
She also reveals that The Boss did not defect. The Boss was ordered to infiltrate Volgin’s ranks and find the Legacy to bring it back to America. Because of Volgin’s nuclear attack, The Boss had to make herself like a traitor and allow Snake to kill her just to prove that U.S.’ innocence.
