" Blow the Dam " is a  job  for  Bentley  in  Episode 3: The Predator Awakes  of  Sly 2: Band of Thieves.

Written Synopsis
Upon reaching the mission marker, Sly asks Bentley if he has any ideas on how to force Rajan out of hiding since he’s holed up in his temple. Bentley reveals his research indicates tigers have an aversion to water and by destroying the dam; the temple will be filled with the runoff. Sly calls Bentley’s “flooding Rajan out” plan a good plan, but he doesn’t think Bentley’s bombs are strong enough to do the job. Bentley states Sly is correct, but the fortunate thing is that while monitoring the bug in Rajan’s office, Bentley overheard that a new auto-pilot attack helicopter has just arrived and it’s sitting inside a nearby truck. Sly warns his friend to stay sharp as the dam is sure to be well protected.

Bentley will automatically get the truck open with a bomb and get inside the helicopter, which goes straight to the dam. As soon as you gain control of the helicopter, Rajan will tell all forces to defend the dam and a barrel of spice will be rewarded to the gunship that brings down the helicopter.

Like the turret from episode 2, you can with aim with the left analog stick and use R1 to fire, but you must not fire for too long or the guns will overheat. If this happens, you will have to wait for them to cool down before you use them again.

The choppers shoot missiles that often miss the helicopter; however, sometimes they shoot homing missiles that do significant damage. These are marked by brown trails, curling paths and should be shot at to avoid damage. Every once in a while, a chopper may get close and bombard Bentley with missiles. Take it out quickly, as damage will add up.

As soon as the dam's health reaches zero, the dam bursts and begins to flood the temple with water. Sly congratulates Bentley on the shooting and hopes that Rajan knows how to swim. Suddenly one of the dam pieces will strike the chopper, which Bentley notices. Bentley realizes he’s going down as the helicopter spirals out of control before hitting a tower. Bentley then falls down through the tower until he reaches the bottom. After that scene is done, the mission is completed.
