Chapter 1: Fog Of War

Chapter Text

Wolf: Our war is not for our faith. We fight to remove all foreign power from our soil...

Butcher: We are Al-Qatala. We are The Killers.

Wolf: We fight without sorrow. We wage war without sympathy. This is the only way to live... and die... A true soldier.

*Al-Qatala commits a terrorist attack in Piccadilly Circus*

Alex: Echo 3-1 to Charlie 2-Actual-

Norris: Go for Actual...

Alex Keller: LZ is in sight. Looks like our boys are right on time, Colonel.

Norris: Roger, 3-1. Hitman teams are locked and loaded for assault. You are green to go.

Ken Laswell: Colonel, we may have a problem.

Norris: Too late, Laswell. We're live...

Laswell: Not until I say so. Watcher to 3-1, how copy-?

Alex: Station chief Laswell, send traffic...

Laswell: General Barkov has sent a new shipment of chlorine gas to his depot...but his mercs are prepping to move the chems to Urzikstan via convoy, tonight. You're still clear to engage, but live fire on Russian military is prohibited. We cannot have an international incident.

Alex: No guarantees Russian army won't respond to this, Ken.

Laswell: Understood, Alex. Just locate the gas, commandeer Barkov's trucks, and get off the X before the tide turns.

Alex: Copy, Watcher. We'll handle it.

U.S. Crew Chief: Last man's out!

Hammer 2-1: Charlie-2-Actual, this is Hammer 2-1. Hitman chalks are on deck. We're RTB.

Alex: Let's move.

Hitman 7-1: All Hitman teams, push to your set point.

Hitman 7-2: Roger, on the move.

Alex: We need to keep this on a tight loop. Barkov's men are moving the gas tonight.

Hitman 7-2: Hey, what are the odds we run into General Barkov?

Hitman 7-1: Russian General wouldn't be caught dead out here.

Hitman 7-1: Psst. Heads up.

Merc 1: Сюда, сюда.

Merc 2: Я слышал это за хребтом.

Hitman 7-2: Hearing two.

Hitman 7-1: Lookin' for us. Two mercs, no uniforms.

Merc 3: Команда три, доложить, окончено...?

Merc 1: я что-то слышу...

Merc 2: Стоять рядом с... Привет! Чей там?! Вперед, покажи себя!

Hitman 7-2: They're game, drop 'em.

*men take out mercs*

Hitman 7-1: We're clear.

Hitman 7-2: Copy. Post up on the ridge and let's get the lay 'o the land.

Alex: Echo 3-1 to Blue Viking 5, call for fire. Stand by for target confirmation...

Blue Viking 5-1: Copy 3-1, Viking is standing by...

Hitman 7-1: Let's recce the area, make sure there's no Russian Army down there. Vehicle comin' in the main gate.

Alex: One in the tower, left side high, not Army.

Hitman 7-1: Copy. Checkpoint, that's the entry. Vehicle's on the move...

Alex: Movement in the rail yard.

Hitman 7-1: That's how the gas comes in.

Alex: Patrol vehicle. Contractors.

Hitman 7-1: Security. Good targets. No Russian military presence, call it in CIA...

Alex: Blue Viking 5, this is Echo 3-1, troops in the open, south gate. You are cleared hot...

Blue Viking 5-1: Roger 3-1, target acquired. Weapons free in 5 seconds...

Alex: 5 seconds!

Hitman 7-2: Thunder and lightning, heads up!

Blue Viking 5-1: Echo 3-1, good effect on target. Viking is RTB, good hunting...

Alex: Much obliged, Viking, we'll take it from here...

Merc 3: Команда три, вы читаете! Что, черт возьми, там происходит?!

Hitman 7-4: Clear!

Hitman 7-1: Clear!

Hitman 7-5: Clear!

Hitman 7-1: Chems may be inside. Masks up!

*men put on their masks*

Hitman 7-1: Let's do this...

*Hitman 7-1 opens the door*

*lights go out*

Hitman 7-1: The fuck?!

Alex: They killed the power.

Hitman 7-1: Go white-light.

*men go white-light*

Hitman 7-1: On me...

Hitman 7-4: It's pitch black in here. You hear that?

Hitman 7-3: Whoever killed the power's in here, I'm telling you...

Hitman 7-4: Could have been the airstrike...

Hitman 7-1: No, they're here...

*men take out the mercs who killed the power*

Hitman 7-1: Clear!

Alex: All clear! Let's get the power up... shed some light, find this gas.

Hitman 7-1: Roger, 3-1.

Hitman 7-3: Lookin'...

Alex: Lights, comin' on.

Hitman 7-1: Power's up.

Hitman 7-3: Hey! We got a problem. These guys are Russian army...

Hitman 7-1: Spetsnaz.

Alex: 3-1 to Watcher... Barkov's hired guns are Spetsnaz. We got Russian army KIA, we need to bug out now.

Laswell: Negative. Command wants mission accomplished on this. Not our choice.

Alex: Never is. 3-1 out.

Hitman7-1: Verify this is what we came for, we'll set the trucks for egress.

Alex: Rog.

*Alex get's sample of chlorine gas*

Alex: Jackpot. PID on the gas.

Laswell: Solid copy, 3-1. Load up and get back to base.

Alex: Roger that, let's move out!

*Alex gets in black car*

Alex: All stations, we are Oscar Mike to the RV, watch your sectors...

Laswell: Good work, Alex. Rally at the hook point for egress.

Hitman 7-4: Truck!

Alex: Back up, back up!

Hitman 7-1: All stations, we are under attack, hitman is taking heavy contact from unknown forces...!!

Hitman 7-4: RPG!

Laswell: Watcher to 3-1, how copy?! Alex, do you read. Over!

Hitman 7-5: I got you, I got you 3-1...

Hitman 7-1: Urgh...!!

Alex: Shit...

Hitman 7-4: Who the fuck is this?!

Hitman 7-2: Arghh!

*man rolls dead body over*

Insurgent: ملازم تعال بسرعة ..!لا الروسية.

Insurgent Leader: مشاة البحرية ... أميركي

Insurgent Leader: يجب أن نذهب. حاليا!!

Insurgent Leader: تحرك للخارج. إذهب! إذهب! إذهب!

*Alex takes off his mask*

Alex: Echo 3-1 to Watcher.

Laswell: Alex- what happened?

Alex: Terrorist attack. Multiple marines KIA. Gas stolen. We need EVAC, now!

Laswell: Roger. Tracking multiple Russian forces headed your way. Sit tight. We're pushing to you for fast exfil. Watcher out.

(After Fog Of War)

Laswell: This operation is now compartmentalized.

Norris: What the hell does that mean?!

Laswell: It means you no longer have clearance, Colonel.

Norris: Those are my Marines. We need a QRF in there right now.

Laswell: That's not advisable.

Norris: And that is not your call!

Lyons: Colonel. Laswell.

Norris: General, my men are...

Lyons: Norris, give us a minute.

Norris: Yes, ma'am.

Lyons: We've got a situation... The Kremlin has suspended all deconfliction channels... the Sixth Fleet is pushing into the Black Sea...and chemical weapons are now in the wild. Your fingerprints are all over this, Laswell. Fix it.

Laswell: General, right now intelligence is our best weapon.

Lyons: We've tried intelligence. Get me a better weapon.

White Blood Cell Captain: Laswell.

Laswell: Where are you?

White Blood Cell Captain: Occupied.

Laswell: I've got a problem.

White Blood Cell Captain: Let's go.

(after Piccadilly)

[POLICE SIRENS WAILING]

White Blood Cell Captain: You saved lives today, Sergeant.

Kyle: It shouldn't have happened in the first place, ma'am. They sent us in half assed, so everyone can just keep pretending we're not at war.

White Blood Cell Captain: Yeah, lie of the fuckin' century, that is.

Kyle: Then why have we got our hands tied? Let's just take the bloody gloves off and fight... Ma'am.

*Kyle looks at White Blood Cell Captain*

White Blood Cell Captain: Go on.

Kyle: We don't stand a chance in hell with these rules of engagement, Captain. They can tell us where, they can tell us when, don't tell us how. My men we're tracking that cell for weeks.

White Blood Cell Captain: You had actionable intel on this?

Kyle: Quite a bit, ma'am.

White Blood Cell Captain: Okay, Garrick. You're with me.

Chapter 3: Embedded

Chapter Text

Laswell: Al-Qatala's claiming responsibility.

URZIKSTAN

White Blood Cell Captain: On orders from the Wolf in Urzikstan.

Laswell: Alex is on the ground there, looking for the stolen chems.

White Blood Cell Captain: Well, you'll need the Liberation Force on his side, so have him contact the CO.

Laswell: You know commander Karim?

White Blood Cell Captain: We're acquainted. Use my name, or they'll kill him.

Farah: What is your message from Captain White Blood Cell?

Alex: Commander Karim. Call me Alex.

Farah: I'm listening, Alex.

Alex: This is classified...

Farah: اذهبوا يا أبناء العم ، واستعدوا.

*people leave the room*

Alex: 48 hours ago, terrorists stole a shipment of Russian gas.

Farah: Only Al-Qatala would do this.

Alex: The Russians make no distinction between Al-Qatala and your people.

Farah: And I make no distinction between Al-Qatala and the Russian army. They are both terrorists. We would never use these poisons.

Alex: Then help us track it, before they...

Farah: Before they what? Take it to Europe? Or America? We live like this every day.

Hadir: Commander, it's time to go... Who is this?

Farah: Alex, this is my brother and lieutenant, Hadir.

Hadir: You are CIA?

Farah: He works with Captain White Blood Cell.

Hadir: Then you kill Russians, yes?

Alex: I have friends who can help us. But your sister decides what's next.

Hadir: Of course. My sister is in command...and the Russian army is still here.

Farah: This occupation must end. That we can all agree on, yes?

Hadir: Mmhmm.

Farah: General Barkov's men control the city. We have plans to change that.

Hadir: We have no missiles, but we have our ways.

Farah: If you stay, we can help you, but if you stay...you fight.

Alex: ثم دعونا نقاتل.

Hadir: مرحبًا بكم في أورزيكستان يا أليكس.

Farah: Follow me.

Farah: These tunnels are our life-line. We have intel Russian troop commanders are in town today. We're going to ambush them.

Alex: How?

Hadir: Explosives.

Alex: That'll get their attention.

Farah: And pull security away from the Russian base, leaving it open to our attack.

Hadir: We must hold nothing back.

Farah: Too far on that path and we lose ourselves. Get set for the airbase attack.

Hadir: Be safe. Alex, take these charges.

*Alex picks up C4*

Hadir: C4 with remote detonator.

Alex: Thanks.

Hadir: Watch my sister. Good luck.

Alex: You too.

*Alex climbs up ladder*

Farah: Hello, Tariq.

Uncle: بسرعة الآن ، تعال!

Uncle: American?

Farah: إنه جدير بالثقة.

Farah: Here, Alex, put this on.

*Alex puts on Civilian Disguise*

Alex: How do I look?

Farah: It'll do. Tariq, what's the report?

Uncle: Russians are just outside. If they see your weapons, they will shoot.

Farah: That happens, our plan fails before it starts...

Farah: Alex, our guns give us away. Keep it hidden.

*Alex conceals his gun*

Farah: Follow me.

Civilian Male 1: Пожалуйста! Я не знаю, что я сделал не так! Я не знаю!

Russian Soldier 2: Из-за тебя сегодня больше нет пайков!

Civilian Male 1: Я ничего не украл! Пожалуйста!

Barkov: I am General Roman Barkov, your superior and commander of these territories.

Farah: Barkov's forces occupy the entire city. They separate our men and women. Today will be very strict. Their officers are coming.

Civilian Female 1: لا لا ... من فضلك!

*woman gets shot and killed by Russian soldier*

Alex: Will Barkov show up?

Farah: Almost never. He hides while others do his dirty work.

Alex: What kind of dirty work?

Farah: Punishment. For fighting back.

Russian Soldier 4: Men on the work line! Women to the trucks!

Farah: This is where we split up. You'll need to comply to blend in...

Farah: Get through that main door. I'll find you on the other side.

*Alex picks up a block and goes through the main door*

Barkov: In spite of my generosity and protection, there are forces in Urzikstan. ...who refuse to learn the lessons that will keep them safe and bring them peace and prosperity. These insurgents continue to launch senseless attacks in the name of so-called "freedom."

*Russian soldier sees Farah*

Russian Soldier 2: Не двигайся! ОСТАНОВКА!

*Farah kills Russian soldier*

Farah: I'm through.

Farah: Go left, down the alley.

*Alex goes to the alley*

Farah: See that soldier?

Alex: Yeah...

Farah: Approach him, slowly. Get his attention...

Civilian Female 1: لا لا ... من فضلك!

Russian Soldier 4: Get over here! NOW!

*Russian soldier sees Alex*

Russian Soldier 2: Остановись прямо там!

*Farah kills Russian soldier*

Civilian Female 1: مساعدة! يساعد!

Farah: Take him...

Russian Soldier 4: You fucks killed my friend. Did you show him mercy?

*Russian soldier beats up woman*

*Alex kills Russian soldier*

Civilian Female 1: K-Karim?

Farah: ابق بأمان يا أختي.

Farah: You're resourceful. Good.

*Farah opens locked door*

Farah: Let's go.

Farah: I have contacts posted just ahead. They'll have more explosives for us.

Farah: A bigger blast will pull more forces away from the Russian base.

Farah: Shit.

Farah: Barkov's soldiers have found my contacts. They may be dead already.

Russian Soldier 1: Местные жители вооружают женщин и детей.

Alex: Can't go loud. Need a suppressor.

Russian Soldier 2: Лидером ополчения является женщина...

Farah: Find an oil filter. It will silence your weapon...

Russian Soldier 1: Животные... Барков нас предупредил.

Farah: Check civilian cars. I'll keep watch on the guards.

Russian Soldier 3: Меня не убьет женщина.

Russian Soldier 2: Остерегайтесь женщин, говорю вам.

Barkov: These homegrown terrorists are the cancer of this great country.

Russian Soldier 1: Они закрывают лица...

Russian Soldier 3: Есть и другие способы отличить...

Barkov: There can be no order and no peace...until those who side with these savages are permanently eliminated.

*Alex picks up oil filter and attaches it to his gun*

Alex: That'll do it.

Farah: Good. Head back and flank right.

Russian Soldier 3: Ну, дерьмо. Я думаю, это были террористы...

Russian Soldier 2: Грегор чертов волкодав.

Russian Soldier 3: Тогда заставь его ходить от двери к двери. Мы найдем их всех за неделю.

Civilian Female 1: رقم!

*woman gets shot and killed by Russian soldier*

Farah: You get two. I'll take the rest.

Russian Soldier 2: Нет, Баркову нужен живой.

*Alex and Farah killing Russian soldiers*

Russian Soldier 1: Что за черт?!

*Farah kills Russian soldier*

Farah: Hold up. Stay away from the door.

Russian Soldier 3: Sledite za lovushkami, u nikh byla vzryvchatka.

Farah: Do you have a shot?

Alex: Yup.

Farah: Take two, I'll take the other.

Russian Soldier 1: Now go check the back room.

*Farah and Alex killing Russian soldiers*

Alex: Clear.

Farah: This way.

Alex: Sorry about your contacts.

Farah: We have the explosives. Their sacrifice will not be in vain.

Farah: Hide the gun. We're going back outside.

Farah: Follow me. I'll lead.

Russian Soldier 5: If you defy General Barkov, you will be made an example of.

Russian Soldier 5: What is this?

Civilian Male 1: Please, she's just scared...

Russian Soldier 5: Stand down. I know what she is.

Russian Soldier 5: Do you understand why we do these things? They hang because they killed our soldiers. Now look at them.

Farah: Let's get moving.

Russian Soldier 5: We can live peacefully, but only if we help each other!

Alex: This is a goddamn war crime...

Farah: Punishment, for the stolen gas...

Russian Soldier 5: It is the terrorists who cause this pain for all of us! Unite our causes, expose these terrorists, and you will be rewarded!

Farah: ...Barkov blames us for stealing it.

Alex: What can we do?

Farah: Accomplish our mission, and put an end to Barkov's cruelty forever...

Farah: Through here. Up the ladder.

Farah: Barkov's sending in helicopters. We take them out, forces from the base will come running...

Alex: Giving us a window to attack...

Farah: Yes. Set explosives on the helicopters. I'll cover you.

Farah: Guards get in your way, take them out, quietly. Meet back here when you're through.

Barkov: I am a fair General, and a man of swift justice.

Alex: Guards on the entry...

Farah: If you engage, try not to be seen...

Russian Soldier 2: Muzhchiny tuda! Poshevelivaysya!

Barkov: There is no judge or jury here. There is only crime and punishment.

Barkov: One by one, we will eliminate these agitators from our streets...and create a safe place to work and prosper, under my authority.

Barkov: This revolt brings war to the peace-loving citizens of Urzikstan.

Barkov: These "freedom fighters" and their collaborators...threaten the safety and security of those who follow the rules.

Barkov: Today, they will be punished.

Barkov: Those who believe that my forces will be defeated by these terror tactics and secret plans...have made a grave miscalculation.

Barkov: I will never, ever, be pushed out of this land by an army of thieves and terrorists...

Alex: Guards on the entry...

Farah: If you engage, try not to be seen...

Barkov: We will root out these interventionists and hold these territory, forever.

Barkov: There will be no victory for our enemies... only death.

Barkov: Russia is here to defend your lives, your liberty, your independence.

:Barkov: My reserves of manpower are inexhaustible.

*Alex kills Russian soldiers*

Barkov: I will not be defeated by citizen soldiers.

Alex: Two down.

Farah: Nice.

Barkov: Urzikstan is bleeding. Her reserves of manpower are dying out.

Alex: I'm at the target.

Barkov: These terrorist criminals are destroying this land and today...

Farah: You know what to do.

Barkov: ...we can make an example of those who refuse to follow my orders.

*Alex places C4 in helicopter*

Alex: Charge set. This'll make one hell of a distraction...

Barkov: These enemies are your friends and family.

Farah: That's the plan. Now get to the other helicopter.

Barkov: These conspirators among us are carrying out unspeakable acts against our people...with the blessing and support of the United States and their partners in the UK.

Barkov: ANYONE who collaborates with these groups, will be sentenced to death.

Barkov: Today, the people of Urzikstan are far better off under my command.

Barkov: This country could share in it's riches...but it must earn that privilege through loyalty and obedience.

Barkov: Together we can build industry and harvest raw materials.

Farah: Use the stairs.

*Alex places C4 in the other helicopter*

Farah: Regroup on my position.

Barkov: Together we can make a united front against the West...and root out those who do not belong.

*Alex meets up with Farah*

Farah: We're clear. It's time.

Farah: Blow it.

Alex: Fire in the hole.

*Alex blows up helicopter*

*People exclaiming*

Farah: Fucking beautiful, Alex, well done! Now, this way...

Farah: Wait...

Farah: Take the left!

*sirens wailing*

Farah: Hold your fire...

Farah: Look, it worked. Troops from the base are rushing in to defend.

*Alex and Farah run through the street*

Farah: Shit!

*Farah throws explosive at the Russian Soldiers and detonates it*

Farah: Go! Get back!

Alex: We're getting boxed in!

Farah: I'm going to blow it!

*Farah detonate explosives on truck*

Farah: Right, Alex, go right!

Alex: Holy shit!

Farah: Window!

*Alex and Farah jumps through window*

*Farah opens gate*

*Alex sees dead bodies*

Alex: Farah, what the hell is this?

Farah: More of Barkov's war crimes.

Russian Soldier 1: Vzryv progremel na ulitse!

Farah: Alex, get down!

*Farah and Alex get down*

Farah: Hide your gun, there too many...

Russian Soldier 3: Ne spite, mal'chiki, oni mogut byt' gde ugodno.

Farah: Don't move.

Farah: Keep your head still.

Russian Soldier 1: Kopirovat'. Gruppa szhiganiya pribyla.

Farah: Hold...

Farah: Now! Move up.

Russian Soldier 2: Ukh, kakaya von'...

Russian Soldier 1: Vot pochemu my szhigayem eto mesto.

Russian Soldier 2: Mozhet byt', na etot raz oni poluchat soobshcheniye.

Russian Soldier 3:Dolzhen byl byt Karim.

Farah: I'm set. Shoot the left two.

*Alex and Farah killing Russian Soldiers*

Farah: Good work.

Farah: To the tunnel, quickly. More may be coming.

Farah: Look, reinforcements from the airbase. Our plan is working.

Farah: Clear.

Farah: Let's head down, get to Hadir...

*Alex and Farah get down to the tunnel*

Alex: You lost good people today.

Farah: That is the cost of this war. Now, let's take Barkov's airbase so their deaths are not in vain.

Alex: We're in for a hell of a fight.

Farah: So are they. Hadir has a plan.

Chapter 6: Hunting Party

Chapter Text

Laswell: The attic of the Al-Qatala townhouse was a gold mine. It looks like we found the Wolf.

Laswell: Communications from the laptop were tracked to Ramaza hospital in Urzikstan, where the Al-Qatala leader is believed to be holed-up.

Laswell: Farah's forces will track terror activity at the hospital while a marine ground force can be mobilized to advance on the complex.

Laswell: Echo 3-1 will capture the Wolf for interrogation about the stolen Russian gas.

Militia Fighter: 'utliq alqayid alqatalat alnaar fi almustashfaa. 'iinah hadi maratan 'ukhraa alan.

Farah: yansakhi. aibqana ealaa atilaei.

Farah: My soldiers confirm that the hospital is under siege.

Farah: Al-Qatala is taking civilians as human shields.

Farah: They're protecting someone.

Alex: Or some thing.

Farah: The more we find out...

Hadir: [WHISTLES A SIGNAL]

Militia Fighter: [DISTANT WHISTLE IN REPLY]

Hadir: All clear, sister.

Farah: Hadir is my best sniper. You can rely on him... and all my fighters.

Alex: Marines want their pound of flesh. They're leading the charge on this.

Farah: I told you we would help you.

Alex: And you're keeping your word.

Farah: I don't do this to...keep my word. The invaders of my country have no regard for human life. The gas kills all things. Even food in our gardens. If you use these tactics, you are my enemy.

Alex: No exceptions?

Farah: None. Al-Qatala has given my people a bad name, and we have paid dearly for their crimes. I want to see the Wolf punished.

Alex: I'll make sure you're at the embassy for the handoff to White Blood Cell.

Farah: And you? Where will you go when this is over?

Alex: Wherever they send me.

Farah: You don't choose?

Alex: Not exactly.

Farah: Rest up. Tomorrow is a big day.

Alex: What about you and your men?

Farah: We'll be here until sunrise.

Alex: I'll cover the open corner.

Alex: [WHISTLES A SIGNAL]

Militia Fighter: [WHISTLES IN REPLY]

Alex: Sergeant Griggs...

Griggs: All day.

Alex: Call me Alex.

Farah: All day.

Griggs: Nice work hitting the Russians.

Farah: We share friends and enemies.

Hadir: hzan seydan.

Alex: arak qariba.

Griggs: Let's roll, Alex... Demon Dogs, time to take this shit to the fan...!

U.S. Marine 1: Breacher up!

U.S. Marine 2: 3,2,1. Go, go, go!

U.S. Marine 1: Oorah!

Griggs: No sign of the Wolf...

Alex: They're tryin' to keep us away from something...

Griggs: That's for damn sure.

U.S. Marine 1: Place is a freakin' morgue...

Alex: Show me your hands!

Griggs: Could be an ambush...

Civilian Female 1: min fadlik la tutliq alnaari!

U.S. Marine 2: Like zombie shit?

Griggs: Just check 'em... All of 'em...

U.S. Marine 1: Damn...

*Alex killing terrorists*

Griggs: Nest is clear! Nicely done, Echo!

Alex: My fuckin' pleasure, Sergeant.

Griggs: You got any word from Demon 3?

U.S. Marine 1: Nothing, Sergeant.

Griggs: Get eyes in that room.

U.S. Marine 3: Roger.

*U.S. Marine 3 places snakecam under door*

U.S. Marine 3: Cam set!

Wolf: Your men cannot save you! You were sent here to kill me but you will die because of your continued bombings and your proxy wars...

Griggs: What do you see, 3-1?

Wolf: Just as your missiles and bullets continue to strike our people, our knives will continue to slash your throats in retaliation!

Griggs: What's the sit-rep?

Wolf: Those governments that come to our land uninvited will perish. We will never again be captive to a foreign power.

Alex: PID on the Wolf, three Marine hostages. He's gonna kill 'em, we gotta breach...

Griggs: Motherfuckers! Flank 'em from the rear, I'll take the main.

*Marines move barricade*

Griggs: Alex, take the window. Find a way around.

Alex: Copy that.

U.S. Marine 1: Door ahead.

Alex: Griggs, we're heading inside. Stand by.

*Alex opens the door and disarms the trap*

Griggs: Demons set. Take this animal alive, Alex... Don't shoot him, get him on the ground.

*Alex tackles the Wolf on the ground*

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: himayat aldhiybi!

*Demon Dogs breach the room and kills the terrorists*

Griggs: Clear.

Griggs: We gotchya, brother-man, you're alright...

Griggs: You good, Alex?

Alex: Good, Griggs...

Alex: Omar Sulaman, you are now in custody of Special Operations Force. Do exactly as you're told, or you're a dead man.

Griggs: Hell yeah.

Griggs: All Demon teams, Marines are secure! Wolf is in the bag, let's move him to the Embassy.

If they try to escape to the mountains, there is only one road. Tariq Almawt' the highway of death. The Russians bombed it during the invasion, killing the people trying to escape. There is a village at the crossroads. I sent Hadir and his fighters there to prepare an ambush. Alex and I will join them and take up firing positions above the road. Lying in wait, for the Wolf...

Farah: The highway is below us. Hadir has reinforcements in position to ambush the Wolf.

Alex: We're easy prey for the Russians out here.

Farah: Brother...we need to go.

*dog whimpering*

Hadir: It isn't fair...

Hadir: They just kill everything...

Hadir: More soldiers. Stay quiet and follow me, okay?

Hadir: We'll go to the blue car across the road.

Hadir: Okay? Follow me.

Russian Soldier 1: This one's still breathing...

Russian Soldier 2: We have orders to kill the wounded...

Russian Soldier 1: Have you ever been on a mission like this?

Russian Soldier 2: Never. But what are we going to do- break orders?

Russian Soldier 1: I've heard Barkov executes people for less.

Hadir: Hide! Hide!

Russian Soldier 2: And Moscow is fine with him taking all the women and children?

Russian Soldier 1: I doubt they even know...

Russian Soldier 2: Quiet. Here comes Viktor.

Russian Soldier 3: Full sweep.

Russian Soldier 2: Any resistance?

Russian Soldier 3: Nothing we couldn't handle.

Hadir: That was close!

Russian Soldier 2: Women? Children?

Hadir: Get ready...

Russian Soldier 3: On their way to the trucks. Full load.

Hadir: Let's go...

Russian Team Leader: D Group, confirm status?

Russian Soldier 2: This is D-5. Objective is complete. We're ready to clear out.

Russian Team Leader: Copy. Any additional cargo?

Hadir: Through here. I'll go first to make sure it's safe.

*Man dies while grabbing Hadir's mask*

Farah: Hadir!

Hadir: Arg!

*Hadir puts his mask on*

Farah: Are you hurt?

Hadir: I'm okay... I'm okay.

Hadir: Follow me.

*Hadir takes off his mask*

Hadir: Don't worry! The air is safe!

*Farah takes off her mask*

Civilian Child Female 1: Baba! Baba!

Civilian Male 3: Don't touch her!

Civilian Female 2: Why are you doing this?!

Russian Soldier 4: Two days ago, our men were ambushed by terrorists. I lost soldiers. Good soldiers.

Russian Soldier 3: Get over there!

Russian Soldier 3: Against the barn! Don't try anything, understand?!

Hadir: We have to go through the barn. Don't let them see you, okay?

Russian Soldier 3: You too! Against the barn!

Russian Soldier 4: Kill them all.

Civilian Male 1: No! Wait-!

Civilian Female 1: No!

Civilian Female 2: You killed them!

Civilian Child Female 1: Baba!

Hadir: If we run away, they'll catch us. We need that truck.

Farah: They'll hear you coughing.

Farah: I will go.

Hadir: Find a gun. And if you get scared, use the phone to distract them.

Russian Soldier 1: A-2, you've got another truck on it's way.

Hadir: Don't get caught.

Farah: I won't.

Russian Team Leader: Understood.

Russian Soldier 2: Hey, check it out!

Russian Soldier 2: I found a revolver!

Russian Soldier 1: Get the rest on the truck! Move!

Russian Soldier 1: He was armed?

Russian Soldier 2: Yeah. He didn't even go for it.

Russian Soldier 2: Look at this thing, it's brand new.

Russian Soldier 1: What do you need a revolver for? It's only six shots. You have a sidearm.

*Farah picks up the revolver and kills both Russians*

Hadir: You did it. You saved us.

Hadir: Let's get out of here.

*Farah opens driver side door of the truck*

Hadir: Let's get out of here.

Hadir: I'll drive!

*Russian General grabs Farah*

Hadir: Farah!

Barkov: Khvatay yego!

Farah: No! Let go! Let go!

Barkov: Idite syuda!

*Russians throw Hadir and Farah into the truck*

Hadir: No! Get off me! Farah!

Barkov: So you're the little devils that killed my soldiers. Ideal'nyy.

(Present Day 2019)

*Alex takes off his mask*

White Blood Cell Captain: Farah!

Kyle: Alex!

Kyle: You're alright, you're alright!

Farah: Where is he...? Where is he?!

Alex: He's gone, Farah...

Farah: No... Hadir... HADIR!!

White Blood Cell Captain: Farah! Stop! Stop, Farah! Stop!

Farah: 'ayuha alkalb al'iirhabiu allaein alqadhra! 'ayn 'anti?!

Farah: It was Hadir... Hadir is the thief.

Farah: I'm sorry, Captain, I didn't know. I didn't know...

White Blood Cell Captain: Hey, there's no way you could've known.

Alex: It's okay, Farah. We'll get him.

White Blood Cell Captain: We need to un-ass this target. NOW!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chapter 9: The Wolf's Den

Chapter Text

Farah: My brother always wanted to fight without rules...

Farah: Now he's broken all of them.

Laswell: Hadir went North...

Laswell: He was picked up by AQ fighters in the foothills.

White Blood Cell Captain: Voluntarily or by force?

Laswell: We don't know...

Alex: I'm sorry, Farah.

Laswell: Your brother...

Farah: Is a terrorist.

Laswell: Is an American asset, who is either with or in terrorist hands.

Alex: Hadir's fight is not with us.

Alex: Now, he could have killed everyone when he stole the gas, but he chose not to.

Farah: How do you know this?

Alex: I was there... trying to stop it.

Farah: Why didn't you tell me?

Alex: We believed it was Al-Qatala. We didn't know it was him.

Laswell: We know now.

Laswell: We're going after him tonight.

Farah: I'll come with you.

Kyle: You'll be hunting your own brother.

Farah: He is not my brother. Not anymore.

Laswell: Barkov's going to put a bounty on his head.

White Blood Cell Captain: Alright, well let's get him first then.

Laswell: Any further complications and we're at war with Russia.

White Blood Cell Captain: Well then don't complicate it.

Alex: This is a bad idea, Farah.

Farah: We take care of our own here.

Kyle: Not usually what that means...

White Blood Cell Captain: It does here.

White Blood Cell Captain: I want Farah on the team. I'm not asking.

Laswell: Fine.

Laswell: You have execute authority.

Laswell: All of you.

Laswell: Okay, let's brief up.

Laswell: Imagery confirms Hadir was in possession of the remaining stolen gas when he made direct contact with Al-Qatala's most brutal enforcer, the Butcher. Surveillance tracked their vehicles to a residential complex in the Aqrus Mountains, believed to be The Wolf's stronghold. Alex and Farah will hold orbit for secondary clearance, while Bravo Six leads the assault force to locate the chemical agents, retrieve Hadir, and kill The Wolf.

Lifter 1-1: We're in the AO. Lights out.

Kyle: Let's nail this bastard.

White Blood Cell Captain: Actual to 3-1, hold orbit.

Alex: Roger, Actual, standing by.

Lifter 1-1: Lifter 1, visual on target. 15 seconds out.

White Blood Cell Captain: Roger, 1... NOD's down, boys. We're on.

White Blood Cell Captain: Sinner 1, take overwatch.

Sinner 1-1: Check. Sinner on overwatch.

Sinner 1-1: Movement.

*Man breaches the door*

Unknown Female 1: Don't hurt us, please!

Al-Qatala Fighter 2: They are here!

Al-Qatala Male 1: You are trespassers here...!

*Kyle kills the fighters*

Unknown Female 1: Don't cry my child, there is nothing to fear...

Alpha 2-6: Hands, hands! Show me your hands!

Al-Qatala Female 1 (red): Go away! Leave us alone!

*Kyle kills Al-Qatala female*

Kyle: All clear.

Alpha 2-6: 2-4 and 2-6, holding here.

Unknown Female 1: Please, don't hurt our children, please...

Alpha 2-3: Waitin' on you at the gate, Sergeant...

Alpha 2-3: Breacher set. Stand clear!

*gate opens*

Alpha 2-3: Good entry.

*dog barking*

White Blood Cell Captain: Door is our entry point.

*Kyle kills the dog*

Kyle: Sorry, pooch.

Crown 6-2: Front right, clear.

White Blood Cell Captain: Contact!

Crown 6-3: Left door's all you, Sergeant.

Kyle: Three unknowns...

Sinner 1-1: Roger three.

Crown 6-4: Side wall, good breach, going rear!

Crown 6-3: 6-3, at the rear door, first deck clear.

Crown 6-4: Rog. Comin' to ya from the other side...

Kyle: Killing power.

White Blood Cell Captain: Second deck, on me...

White Blood Cell Captain: Hold here.

Crown 6-5: Yes, ma'am.

White Blood Cell Captain: Take point.

Kyle: Moving to second deck.

Al-Qatala Male 2: Get rid of it, shred it, everything...

Sinner 1-1: Got movement. Door, left.

Al-Qatala Male 3: Are you sure?

Al-Qatala Male 2: Yes, trash it. All of it, into the shredders, now!

White Blood Cell Captain: Two down, checkin' left.

Al-Qatala Fighter 2: You will die here!

White Blood Cell Captain: Hands... Hands...

White Blood Cell Captain: All stations, holding one female unknown.

Alpha 3-3: Roger that, Captain.

Al-Qatala Male 1: Go to the bedroom, now, listen to me...

Unknown Female 4: There are too many, we should surrender...

Al-Qatala Male 1: We are together in death!

Unknown Female 4: There is no other way, there is no other one... No other way, no other one...

Kyle: All clear.

Kyle: One KIA, one unknown.

Alpha 3-3: Copy, moving to secure.

Al-Qatala Male 2: You will pay in blood for trespassing here...!

Al-Qatala Male 3: You are not welcome here...!!

Crown 6-4: Check left, check left...

Al-Qatala Male 4: Non-believers must die!

Unknown Female 5: The Wolf protects us... We will not be forsaken...

Kyle: Moving interior.

Crown 6-4: Agh! Bloody fuckin' hell!

Al-Qatala Male 1: Go to hell!

Kyle: No Hadir...Negative on the Wolf. Dry hole.

White Blood Cell Captain: Copy that, Kyle.

White Blood Cell Captain: Right, let's get the lights up and sort 'em up, lads.

Crown 6-5: Rise and shine...

White Blood Cell Captain: All Bravo, 're-org' on the first deck.

White Blood Cell Captain: Actual to 3-1-

White Blood Cell Captain: I want you on station for data collection.

Alex: Copy that.

Alpha 2-3: Zip drives, disks, and storage in the bags, paperwork in the boxes...

Unknown Female 1: Give me my son! Give him to me, now!

Kyle: We're not cuttin' bait are we?

White Blood Cell Captain: Negative. They wanna talk.

Child: umiy , 'umiy , 'urid 'umi!

White Blood Cell Captain: Let's listen.

Unknown Female 1: My son! Give me my son!

White Blood Cell Captain: yastarih...

White Blood Cell Captain: Let him go.

White Blood Cell Captain: 'ant bi'aman alana. 'ayn aldhiybi?

White Blood Cell Captain: shkran lika.

White Blood Cell Captain: Lock 'em down.

White Blood Cell Captain: Teahouse, on me.

White Blood Cell Captain: All stations. Bravo is moving to the Teahouse for reclearance.

White Blood Cell Captain: Tunnels...

White Blood Cell Captain: Open 'er up, Kyle.

*White Blood Cell Captain throws a glow stick in the hole*

White Blood Cell Captain: So we got ourselves a gopher...

White Blood Cell Captain: All stations, tunnel in building 2- makin' entry.

Kyle: Alright, down the hatch...

Farah: I'll take point.

Alex: Good hunting.

White Blood Cell Captain: We'll be right behind you.

Farah: Contact! Vest!

Alex: FARAH!!

(Alex and Farah falls down the tunnel)

Alex: Echo 3-1 to Bravo 0-6. Tunnel collapsed. What's your status?

*radio static*

Farah: We're cut off. It is only us now.

Alex: Just like old times...

Farah: Yes... But we are not alone.

Farah: We are in the Wolf's den, now...

Farah: Tripwires here. Stay low.

Alex: Disarmed.

Farah: Keep the grenade.

Farah: Go slow. They hide everywhere...

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: Someone's out there...

Farah: Voices.

Al-Qatala Fighter 2: Run. Warn the others.

*lights go out*

Alex: Was that you?

Farah: No...

Farah: ...but they know we're here.

Farah: Another tripwire. Careful.

Farah: Go, Alex. I will cover.

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: Get ready. Get ready..

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: They're here! They're in the tunnels! Get your weapons! Get ready!

Farah: There's a runner!

Farah: On your right!

Al-Qatala Fighter 2: I see them!

Alex: Runner's down.

Alex: Clear.

Farah: Let's keep moving.

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: Aatif. They are coming...

Al-Qatala Fighter 2: Let them get close.

Farah: I see one. Left alcove.

Alex: Looks like we can crawl through.

Hadir (red): Alex...why did you bring her here?

Farah: I came here by choice.

Hadir: Leave now, I can't protect you here.

Alex: Come with us, Hadir...

Hadir: No! It's too late for that, now...

Farah: Show your face and die.

Hadir: Farah, please... These people are willing to help us!

Farah: You are a liar and a traitor!

Hadir: You are wrong! You will see.

Farah: Hadir... HADIR!

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: They made it through! Go! Go!

*Alex kills the terrorists*

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: Someone's out there.

Al-Qatala Fighter 2: Run. Warn the others.

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: Get ready. Get ready..

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: You are trespassers here...!

Farah: Ambush!

*Alex kills the terrorists and explosion occurs*

Farah: There's a drop here. Careful.

*Farah goes down to the ground*

*Alex goes down to the ground but the boards break and Alex falls further down*

Farah: Alex? ALEX?!

Alex: I'm good!

Farah: I'm coming down to you!

Alex: No! Stay after Hadir! I'll find a way up!

Farah: You watch your back down there...

Alex: 3-1 to 0-6, over?

*radio static*

Alex: All stations, this is Echo 3-1, transmitting in the blind.

Alex: Target is still in the tunnels. Currently tracking.

*Alex pushes the minecart*

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: That's all of it.

Al-Qatala Fighter 2: Okay, let's go. The fumes are getting heavy.

*terrorists light the fire on the fuel but Alex kills the terrorists*

Wolf: The western world, they believe we are for sale.

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: They are here! Light the fire!

*terrorists light the fire*

Wolf: This is not true, of course. The super-weapon is for sale.

Alex: Fire's spreading... I gotta go.

Wolf: We are merely the buyers. We take the weapons, and we keep them, forever.

Wolf: But, we own them, they do not own us.

*Alex pushes the minecart and goes up the structure*

Wolf: To die for what you believe, is easy.

*Alex kills the terrorists*

Wolf: To die without sorrow, to wage war without sympathy... this is the only way to become a true soldier.

*Alex goes up the ladder and kills a terrorist*

*Alex goes up another ladder and kills the terrorists*

Wolf: We plan attacks to show sadiq, 'truth.'

Alex: I can't stay down here.

Wolf: We will never be captive to foreign power.

Wolf: Yes, there is a price to pay for this, and we are happy to pay. In blood.

*Alex goes up another ladder but the ladder falls but Farah saves Alex*

Alex: Shit-!

Farah: Alex...!

Farah: Alex, pull!

Farah: I've got you!

Alex: Thanks, cuz...

Farah: This way.

Alex: Your handiwork?

Wolf: You have come far, but what you seek is already gone.

Farah: Affirmative.

Farah: That's the Wolf. Dead ahead.

Wolf: You have only me.

Wolf: And I am just a lowly freedom fighter.

*Alex opens the door*

Farah: Timer. He has a vest.

Wolf: There is no escape. This is the end.

Wolf: Your brother needed help. He has big plans. Killing me will not stop him. Even I cannot stop him not. It is too late, Commander.

Farah: He has a remote!

*Farah kills the Wolf*

Farah: Still counting...!

Farah: We can disarm it, Alex, help me.

Alex: 20 seconds!

Farah: Cut the wire exactly when I say, not before.

Alex: Ready!

Farah: Green wire, in 3...2...1

Farah: Cut!

Alex: Green! Next...

Farah: Yellow, in 2...1...

Farah: Cut it!

Alex: Yellow, done!

Farah: Last one is...

Farah: Red!

Alex: There're two reds!

Farah: The top one! In 2...1...

Farah: Now!

Alex: Cut!

Farah: Disarmed. Good job.

Alex: All thanks to you. Good work.

Alex: How'd you learn that?

Farah: Years of experience.

Alex: Too many.

Alex: All stations, this is Echo 3-1, in the blind... Jackpot... Primary target is KIA.

(After Wolf's Den)

Kyle: Alex!

Kyle: If it wasn't me. I'm glad it was you.

Alex: Too bad we couldn't kill him twice.

Kyle: Thanks, mate.

*Helicopters go to base*

Laswell: Congratulations on a job well done.

Laswell: As much as we can hear the ice in the glass, I'm afraid our toast has to wait. Hadir and his new friends are on the move.

Farah: Where are they?

Laswell: One step at a time.

Alex: No one said they're friends.

Norris: The General would tend to disagree.

Laswell: Norris, I asked you to let me-

Norris: Tell them, Laswell, or I will.

Laswell: Command has officially redesignated Farah's forces.

Kyle: You want to translate that from bullshit to English?

White Blood Cell Captain: It means they're on the list.

Farah: What list?

Norris: Foreign-Terror-Organization list.

Norris: I've ordered my Marines to treat Farah's army as hostiles.

Alex: What?! They're our allies.

Norris: Yeah. Not anymore.

White Blood Cell Captain: You keep your moppets on a short string, Colonel.

Norris: Or what?

White Blood Cell Captain: Or I'll fucking hang you from it.

Alex: Ken, these people need our support.

Laswell: There's nothing else we can do.

Kyle: No. There's plenty we can do.

Alex: I'm tired of being told who my friends are.

Farah: Alex, don't...

Alex: I'm going back to Urzikstan. I'm staying with Farah's army.

Laswell: What you are doing is illegal.

Alex: I'm pretty sure everything we do is illegal.

Kyle: Only the good stuff.

*Kyle shakes Alex's hand*

Kyle: You got friend's nearby.

Alex: You too.

Farah: Thank you. For everything.

White Blood Cell Captain: Oh, it's not over yet. Trust me.

Farah: I always have.

Farah: Ten days...

Hadir: You look sick...

Farah: No food or water...

Hadir: Sister...

Farah: It's okay. I can take it...

Hadir: Why have they put us together like this?

Farah: They're using you to get to me...

Barkov: How nice...

Hadir: Go fu-!

*Barkov tases Hadir*

*Hadir attempts to escape but stopped*

Farah: No...!

Hadir: Keep your hands off her you sick bastard!

Hadir: I'll kill you! All of you!

*cell doors close*

Farah: Yes I will...

Barkov: Shut up and go in the corner.

*Farah goes and looks at the corner*

Barkov: Any plans you have to escape... you will soon forget.

Barkov: Face me now.

*Farah looks at Barkov*

Barkov: It's hotter than hell in this shit-hole country... You must be so thirsty...

*Barkov drinks the water*

Barkov: Want some?

*Farah attempts to take some water*

Barkov: None left.

Barkov: Let's get you some water.

Barkov: Dveri!

*cell doors open*

Barkov: Follow me.

*Farah coughs*

Barkov: In there.

*Farah enters the room*

Barkov: The chair, Farah...

*Farah sits down*

Barkov: There will be no escape, Farah. No one is coming to rescue you. I am in control here, and I can make your life much, much easier...

Barkov: Now, tell me about "Commander Karim" and the failed message...

Farah: Go fuck your self.

Barkov: Watch your mouth, girl. I've been patient with you, but no more...

*Farah falls on the floor*

Barkov: Stay awake and you might see your brother one last time.

Barkov: He's going to give you a drink.

Barkov: Try to breathe.

*Farah begins to be waterboarded*

*Farah gasps for air*

Barkov: That's it!

*Farah gasps for air*

Barkov: There you go!

*Farah gasps for air*

Barkov: Good girl!

Barkov: Good! That's enough for now.

*Farah sits up*

Barkov: So strong, Farah. Keep it up and you will see Hadir. One last time, who is Karim?

Farah: Karim is dead.

Barkov: Lies! Stop protecting him. Protect yourself.

Barkov: Poydem!

Barkov: I found on of your "sisters."

Azadeh: I said nothing, Farah...

Farah: It's okay, Azadeh...

Barkov: Quiet!

Barkov: Her life is in your hands now, Farah...

Barkov: Stay awake, she lives... Pass out, she dies.

*Farah lies down*

Barkov: I'll make it tougher this time.

Barkov: Other way!

*Farah gasps for air*

Barkov: Not that way, Farah!

*Farah gasps for air*

Barkov: Damn, you're good.

Barkov: Hold still!

*Farah gasps for air*

Barkov: Again, another breath...?!

*Farah gasps for air*

Barkov: Trying to move your head?!

*Farah gasps for air*

Barkov: Stop moving, Farah!

*Farah gasps for air*

Barkov: Don't move!

Barkov: Enough! No more...!

*Farah gets up and gasps for air*

Barkov: Congratulations, Farah. You saved a life.

Barkov: I want you to tell me the truth... or she dies.

Farah: I did what you asked!

Barkov: No, I said the truth!

Barkov: Who is Karim?!

Farah: The messages are from me, I am Karim. I am responsible.

*Barkov grabs Farah by the neck*

Barkov: Enough games!

Barkov: Your brother took a key from me. Where is it, hm?

Farah: Did you lose a key?

Barkov: One is missing, but we have others.

Farah: What does the key open?

Barkov: You think you're so smart...

Barkov: "Karim."

Barkov: Now...where is the key your brother stole from me?

Farah:...

Barkov: Silence? I can fix that...

*Barkov punches Farah*

Barkov: *grunts* This country is a breeding ground for terrorists.

Barkov: I am here to bring law and order to this land and no terrorist thief will harm my country!

Barkov: I will protect Russia!

Chapter Text

White Blood Cell Captain: That's a hell of a view, Nikolai.

ST. PETERSBURG

Nikolai: Was the capital before Moscow.

White Blood Cell Captain: The good ol' days.

Kyle: I got two on the door.

Nikolai: More Al-Qatala inside.

Kyle: Vehicle inbound...

White Blood Cell Captain: Watch 'em.

Nikolai: Good spot. Parking here sucks.

White Blood Cell Captain: That's the Butcher in the yellow shirt.

Kyle: Bastard from the embassy.

Nikolai: No gas.

Butcher: 'anti, antabih lilzaqaqi.

White Blood Cell Captain: No Hadir.

Kyle: Easy shot.

Nikolai: Hm, tempting.

White Blood Cell Captain: Hold fast. The Butcher gets us to Hadir.

Kyle: Or the gas attack goes off.

White Blood Cell Captain: Well, if that happens then we're all fucked.

White Blood Cell Captain: Let's gear up, get evil, clock's tickin'.

Nikolai: This way...

Kyle: What's our timeframe?

White Blood Cell Captain: Hours or less. You get the gear?

Nikolai: Best I could do on short notice...

*Nikolai opens the weapon case*

Nikolai: Suppressors, ammo. No flashbangs...

White Blood Cell Captain: Nice job, Nik.

*White Blood Cell Captain inspects the gun*

White Blood Cell Captain: .40 cal hollow points...

Nikolai: 150 grain, your favorite.

*White Blood Cell Captain conceals her gun*

White Blood Cell Captain: Conceal it for now.

Nikolai: Rally at the warehouse.

White Blood Cell Captain: Rog'. Bring the package.

Nikolai: On my way, Captain.

White Blood Cell Captain: I know you want another shot at the Butcher.

Kyle: No grave deep enough for that sick bastard, ma'am...

White Blood Cell Captain: You'll have your chance, alright, but right now, we need the Butcher alive.

*Kyle aims his gun at a civilian*

*civilian flees*

White Blood Cell Captain: Sort yourself, Garrick, you'll give us away!

White Blood Cell Captain: We sweep the guards up so they can't alert the others, then move in on the rear door...

Kyle: Rog'.

White Blood Cell Captain: Guns on my signal, not before...

Al-Qatala Fighter 1: ya! ya hadha!

White Blood Cell Captain: Easy. Easy, mate, we've got permits, alright?

AQ Fighter 1: 'ant ghayr murahab bik huna!

White Blood Cell Captain: Show him, Kyle. Now...!

*Kyle and White Blood Cell Captain kill the terrorists*

White Blood Cell Captain: Nicely done.

White Blood Cell Captain: Nikolai. Trash in the alley...

Nikolai: I brought bags...

White Blood Cell Captain: You think of everything...

*Kyle goes through the door*

White Blood Cell Captain: Check your shots. Butcher gets us to Hadir. We need him breathing until he does.

Butcher: This is retaliation... Today, the pain and suffering is not ours, but theirs...

Butcher: We give special thanks to our new soldier, whose strong will is our good fortune.

Kyle: New soldier...?

White Blood Cell Captain: Hadir...

Butcher: If the Wolf is alive, he'll be proud of you... and if he is gone, we deliver his truth to those who intervene where they are not invited.

White Blood Cell Captain: There he is...

*Kyle throws back the grenade*

White Blood Cell Captain: Sergeant...?!

Kyle: I'm good, ma'am. Target's on the move, river side...

White Blood Cell Captain: Get after him or we'll lose him!

*Kyle and White Blood Cell Captain kill the terrorists and continues to chase after the Butcher*

Nikolai: Inbound, Captain...

*Nikolai rams over the Butcher*

White Blood Cell Captain: Nikolai!

Kyle: We got him!

Nikolai: Is hard to run with concussion, no?

White Blood Cell Captain: Ah, it's only a scratch, get him in the fucking van...

Butcher: Who are you? So my men can send your heads home to your families...

Kyle: Fuck off, shit-pouch...

Nikolai: Uh, small problem!

Nikolai: There she is...!

White Blood Cell Captain: Floor it. GO!

*Nikolai drives off*

SOME TIME LATER

*Yegor punches the Butcher*

Yegor: Where are the chemicals?!

Butcher: Up your fucking Russian ass!

*Yegor continues to punch the Butcher*

Butcher: You can't hurt me, you weak piece of shit!

Butcher: But you, Captain. Oh, you can do better than that... You think I forgot your face, SAS? Eh?! Or you, Sergeant?

Kyle: You motherfucker! Ma'am, this fucking prick!

White Blood Cell Captain: Hey! Get your head in the game, Sergeant!

Kyle: We need to break this bastard, Captain.

White Blood Cell Captain: We're about to...

White Blood Cell Captain: Nikolai, where's the package?

Nikolai: Pulling in now, Captain.

White Blood Cell Captain: Okay. You go to Nikolai, you get the package, you come back here. Alright?

Nikolai: Sergeant Garrick. Package is in the back.

Kyle: What is it?

Nikolai: Truth serum.

*Kyle opens the van*

Ousa: Please! Please, let us go! We know nothing!

Nikolai: Bargaining chips... for 'negotiation'.

Nikolai: Perhaps, the Butcher will have a change of heart.

Amon: Momma, what's happening??

Ousa: Shh...shh...it's okay. It's okay, my son. It's okay, baby, just...we'll be out of here soon. Don't worry, okay?

*Kyle grabs Ousa and Amon*

Ousa: Please. Just don't hurt my son! We'll do what you say.

Amon: I'm scared, Momma...

Ousa: Don't be afraid, you're Momma's brave boy...

Ousa: Where are to taking us...?

Amon: Where are we going, Momma?

Ousa: We are going to talk to some people, and then we will go home, okay?

Ousa: What you're doing is unforgivable. We are innocent people...

Ousa: I demand to know why we are here...!

White Blood Cell Captain: Shhh...

White Blood Cell Captain: Kyle, you don't have to do this.

White Blood Cell Captain: You in or out?

Kyle: I'm in, ma'am... All in.

White Blood Cell Captain: Good.

White Blood Cell Captain: Hand them off to Yegor.

Ousa: No! No, no, no! Please!

Butcher: Ousa? Amon?!

Amon: Baba!

*Kyle throws them to Yegor*

Butcher: Hey, be careful with them, you son of a bitch!

Butcher: ARGHHH...!!

White Blood Cell Captain: You wanted the gloves off? They're off.

Ousa: What did you do?! Your own son is here! Your own child!

White Blood Cell Captain: He's got no problem hurting children... Isn't that right, Sergeant?

Kyle: None...

Butcher: Shut up!

Ousa: What have you done?! You promised you'd keep this away from us!

Yegor: Captain, I can't do this.

White Blood Cell Captain: You're excused.

White Blood Cell Captain: Pick it up, Sergeant.

Ousa: What are you going to do to us...?

*Kyle pick up the revolver*

Butcher: Don't...don't...don't. Hey, hey, hey, hey!

Butcher: Hey, no! No! No!

Ousa: Please, please... We are not involved with any of this, I assure you...

Butcher: Hey! Hey! Hey! Stop! Stop! They, they know nothing of this! Okay! Stop!

Ousa: Please, please, please, no... no.

Ousa: Do something! For your son...!

Ousa: Tell the truth! If you know the truth, tell them!

Ousa: TELL THEM!

*Kyle attempts to shoot White Blood Cell Captain*

*gun clicks*

White Blood Cell Captain: Would be a shame if it was loaded, wouldn't it?

White Blood Cell Captain: Rest assured, I wouldn't let the Sergeant brandish a loaded weapon indoors... Unless he had to...

White Blood Cell Captain: Now, last chance. Where's the gas?

*Kyle loads the revolver*

*White Blood Cell Captain grabs Amon*

Butcher: Hey, hey, hey! No, no, no! Leave him, leave him, leave him! Listen! Listen!

Ousa: No! No, please! Please! Leave him alone! No!

Butcher: Listen to me! Listen to me! Karetka Theater!

White Blood Cell Captain: Lying! Lying!

Butcher: No, I am not! I swear to you, I'm not! The gas is there. Karetka Theater. I swear to you!

Kyle: Where's Hadir?

Butcher: The 'youngblood'? You, you're too late to stop him.

Butcher: Go, Sergeant. Save some fucking Russians. General Barkov will already be dead.

*White Blood Cell Captain throws Amon to Ousa*

White Blood Cell Captain: Hadir... He's going after Barkov.

White Blood Cell Captain: We're done with him. You take a minute.

*Kyle kills the Butcher*

White Blood Cell Captain: Gas is at the Karetka Theater. Secure it and call it in, you know the drill.

Nikolai: Will do.

Nikolai: Cruiser is yours. It'll get you out of the city.

White Blood Cell Captain: Hadir's at Barkov's Estate. He's going to kill him.

Nikolai: And start the world war.

White Blood Cell Captain: Not if we get him first.

White Blood Cell Captain: Garrick, get in the car. Cover us.

*Kyle enters the car*

White Blood Cell Captain: There's a fine line between right and wrong.

Police officer: vvedite tri dva odin!

Police officer: Federal'naya politsiya! Ne dvigaysya! Nikomu ne dvigat'sya!

Police officer: Nikakikh ugroz

Police officer: Vizual'noye predstavleniye khimicheskikh veshchestv

Police officer: Vse podrazdeleniya, zalozhniki tsely, khimikaty tsely, Myasnik tochno opoznan.

Russian Commander: Skopiruyte eto. Krizis predotvrashchen. Pribyvayut gruppy Khazmat. Gorod snova v bezopasnosti...

AFTER OLD COMRADES

White Blood Cell Captain: Hey...

White Blood Cell Captain: There's a checkpoint.

Kyle: For us?

White Blood Cell Captain: What? Is there a difference?

Kyle: Road's blocked. What's the plan...?

White Blood Cell Captain: Shock and awe.

[POLICE SIRENS WAIL]

Kyle: What if they don't move?

White Blood Cell Captain: Then all hell's going to break loose...

Kyle: 3 seconds...

White Blood Cell Captain: That's plenty of time...

*police officers jump out of the way*

White Blood Cell Captain: [LAUGHS]

Kyle: Holy shit, Captain...

White Blood Cell Captain: Nikolai saved our bacon.

Kyle: What if they follow?

White Blood Cell Captain: They won't.

Kyle: Boss...

Kyle: What the hell are we doing here?

White Blood Cell Captain: We're cleaning up a mess.

Kyle: With women and children?

White Blood Cell Captain: They were leverage.

Kyle: They were hostages.

White Blood Cell Captain: When you take the gloves off, you get blood on your hands, Kyle. That's how it works.

Kyle: Where do we draw the line on this, ma'am?

White Blood Cell Captain: You draw the line wherever you need it, Sergeant.

White Blood Cell Captain: End of the day someone has to make the enemy scared of the dark.

White Blood Cell Captain: We get dirty and the world stays clean. That's the mission.

White Blood Cell Captain: Now if you're having second thoughts, then I can do this on my own...

Kyle: No, ma'am. No second thoughts.

White Blood Cell Captain: Good.

White Blood Cell Captain: Now let's get Hadir before he kills Barkov.

Alex: Affirmative, ma'am.

White Blood Cell Captain: With your help, we can finish what he started...

Farah: You're a good friend, Captain. And a worse enemy, I'm sure...

*Farah and her soldiers aim their guns at White Blood Cell Captain*

*White Blood Cell Captain give Farah the intel*

White Blood Cell Captain: It's all there, the plans, the personnel...

Laswell That was the father. This is the son, "Victor".

White Blood Cell Captain: Lovely family...

Victor Zakhaev: Our victory today will be decisive. Together, we put a knife to the neck of history... It's time now for the final cut...

White Blood Cell Captain: All stations, be advised Zakhaev's lighting the fuse, we don't have much time... Farah, where are you...?

Farah: At the entry with Alex, creating a diversion.

Alex: Guards are coming our way now, Actual...

White Blood Cell Captain: Keep 'em busy.

Victor: They come to Verdansk to stop us, but they couldn't resist fighting each other... This war is 50 years in the making... No more treaties, no more diplomacy... These weapons will no longer lie dormant.

Viktor: They're actually here.

Viktor: Ha!

Mercenary: Arrrrrgggghhhhhh!

*Zombies kill the Military Police Soldiers and the other Mercenaries*

Fletcher: Fuck!

Fletcher: What the fuck?!

Viktor: Looks like we've found our weapon.

*Russian Soldiers leave the area*

Helicopter Pilot: We're coming up on the EZ, ETA 2 minutes.

Laswell: We got intel that Zakhaev was planning something a few months ago.

Soap: By the time we worked out where he was operatin', all we could do is go kinetic an' hope to flush the bastard out.

Laswell: One of our checkpoints reported hostile contact, then the whole town went dark.

Soap: Until we know what's goin'on, containment is the name o' the game. No one gets in. Nothin', and I mean nothin' gets out. Clear?

Laswell: Liz here has experience with this kind of incursion.

Liz: Prevyet.

Soap: She'll give you the way o' the land. Keep your head up and listen to her if you wanna survive.

Laswell: Report to SSO Greene, out here, this is her show. Welcome to Operation Deadbolt.

Liz: This is us. Let's move.

*some time later*

Greene: Deadbolt Actual to Strike Team. Time to earn your pay.

Chapter 17: Dr. Ava Jansen

Chapter Text

*after the strike team rescues Dr. Jansen*

Jansen: Is all this cloak and dagger stuff necessary? I'm the one who called you, remember?

Soap: I'm no the one that needs convincin'. Keep walkin'.

Liz: Welcome to Operation Deadbolt. The boss would like a word with you.

*Greene opens the interrogation room*

*ominous music plays*

Jansen: The company hired me to continue my research on energy production from n-dimensional interactions. It was purely theoretical, right up until it wasn't.

*Selma Greene enters the room*

Jansen: As for Zakhaev, I had no idea I was working for a terrorist!

Greene: You're lying.

Jansen: I thought he was the CEO. I'm a physicist, not a mind reader. And I wouldn't have had to work for him, or anyone, if you arseholes hadn't shut me down. Zakhaev is still out there with even more weapons grade Aetherium. But I happen to know he keeps it on his person at all times. Why would I tell you that if I didn't want him stopped? Look, I know this element down to it's protons. I'm fairly certain I can find a way to neutralize it.

Soap: Fairly certain won't cut it. Can you do it or not?

Liz: Perhaps we should hear her out.

Jansen: Please. I have to fix this. I may be the only person who can!

*knife unsheathing*

Greene: You better be right.

*Greene cuts off Jansen's zip tie*

*meanwhile at Zakhaev's enrichment facility*

Fletcher: Extraction's going great, we're gonna make a killing selling this Aetherium.

Zakhaev: When I've enriched enough to make more of these, you can do as you please with the rest.

Fletcher: And what about our runner?

Zakhaev: Hmph.

Zakhaev: She's played her part. Find her and kill her.

*Zakhaev looks at the Aetherium*

 

Chapter 18: Test Site

Chapter Text

*after the strike team tests the Aetherium Neutralizer*

Jansen: As you can see, the test was a success. The Aether Neutralizer destabilizes any Aetherium within it's blast radius. What remains of the element rapidly decays into harmless isotopes. But... That was raw, unprocessed Aetherium. The material in Zakhaev's vial is highly enriched. My projections show this weapons grade Aetherium can withstand our prototype.

Greene: In other words, you failed. This was a waste of time and resources.

Jansen: Not true! The principle has been proven. We just need to amplify the neutralizer and recalibrate it's output.

Soap: An' you can do that, can you?

Jansen: Not quite. But Zakhaev obtained key research written by the expert on Aetherium enrichment.

Liz: JJ-4141...

Soap: Old mate of yours?

Liz: Friends are a luxury I can seldom afford.

Jansen: Zakhaev stored JJ-4141's research in a vault. It'll be heavily guarded, but that research holds the key to upgrading the neutralizer.

Greene: We don't have time for this. Our focus should be Zakhaev himself.

Liz: And if we find him, then what? He unleashes his remaining vial, and we have nothing to counter it...?

Soap: Deadbolt might be able to hammer this hard enough to contain it... But if the objective is to end it, that neutralizer's our best shot.

Greene: Fine. Get JJ-4141's data. See what Dr. Jansen can do with it.

*Jansen winces*

*Jansen takes some Clozapine*

Liz: Ava, what is wrong?

Jansen: Just a migraine. It'll pass. They always do.

Liz: ...

Zakhaev: This can't be happening!

*Fletcher throws Zakhaev into a building*

Entity: Let us in.

Jansen: Ahhhhhh!

*portal closes*

*Jansen slowly goes back to the ground*

*Liz runs to Jansen*

Liz: Ava?

*Jansen's purple eyes return to normal*

Jansen: What happened?

Liz: Do you not...do you not remember?

Jansen: No, I thought I heard a voice. Something...calling...from the other side.

*some time later*

*soldiers drag some unconscious Terminus soldiers*

Soap: Take 'em to the brig. Greene'll get the interrogations started. Nae sign o' Zakhaev. He may be blooded but he's still breathin'. Next time he sticks his head up, I'll take it off.

Jansen: What about the Neutralizer?

Liz: Dobbs? What's the SitRep? Give me some good news.

Dobbs: Mmm...Negative. Good initial clear on detonation, but Dark Aether contacts are still repopulating.

Liz: Pizdets.

Dobbs: Also picking up an energy spike in the Red Zone. Never seen anything like it.

Soap: Looks like this shit-show just keeps getting better an' better. Everyone RTB! Looks like this op isn't gonna' be over anytime soon!

Liz: Fang. Liz. Ready for evac.

Fang: Solid copy. Stand by, ETA 2 minutes.

Liz: Jansen, this is Liz. The Strike Team have returned from the rift.

Jansen: Liz?

Liz: Ava, they made contact with some kind of entity, and are coming for debrief. Report to Ops.

Jansen: Th-They met...what?

Liz: An entity, inside the rift.

Liz: [Grunts]

*Ava enters the room*

Ava: You've got some explaining to do. You're hurt.

Liz: I have had worse.

Ava: I don't doubt it. Or I wouldn't have to, if your file wasn't a black hole.

LIZ (ACTIVE)

Liz: My file? How did you-

Ava: Please. Breaking the locks on a few cold-case CIA files? From a CIA terminal? Not exactly a challenge-

Liz: [Grunts]

Ava: You're making a mess of that. Give it here.

*Ava stitches Liz*

U-1212 (DECEASED)

Samuel Maxis (CLASSIFIED JANUS DIRECTIVE 6776 DAYS AGO)

Ava: You were a part of Requiem?

Liz: Yes.

Ava: What happened to them?

Liz: Maxis sacrificed himself to end the outbreak. We promised we would find a way to rescue him. And when we failed...it was...a blow. Some of us took it very hard. We promised never to let this happen again-

Ava: So you're zero for two on those promises.

Liz: But I am still here, am I not Dr. Jansen? I am still fighting.

Ava: And here's the thing. You shouldn't be. That was 30 years ago, and look at you.

Liz: I have good genes.

Ava: Oh that's a crock, and you know it! What was the focus of Requiem's Aetherium Research?

Liz: Dr. Jansen...Ava... Perhaps when the outbreak is contained... we will talk of the old days.

Ava: Fine. If that's how you want to play it.

*Ava finishes stitching Liz*

Liz: [Grunts]

Ava: If you won't help me, I'll find my own answers.

*Ava leaves the room*

Liz: Oh Ava... Your parents would be...are...they are so proud of you.

Chapter 22: Union

Chapter Text

*after strike team, Liz, and Ava leave the dark aether*

Liz: We almost lost you, Ava. Your obsession with U-1212's research almost got you killed. It is too dangerous to keep this from you any more.

Ava: What is it?

Liz: U-1212's last words to you...

*Liz plays the recording from August 15th 1996*

U-1212: Ava. I went through this in my head so many times but... I'm still not sure what to say... But I can't do what I need to, without trying to talk to you. Even if it's just to say goodbye. I carried you, I gave birth to you, but your biological father, was Sam, Samuel Maxis. He was the kindest, bravest soul I have ever met. And I miss him so much. We were all exposed to the dark aether, Sam most of all. One day he went into the dark aether... and didn't come back. This is why you are so important. You are bonded to the dark aether. It's in your genes. No one knows whether that could be something wonderful or something... dangerous. We are dying, but we can ensure that someone will watch over you. We agreed Liz would be the best choice, especially given her connection to you. I know the Jansen's will have given you the best life, but giving you up? At only three years old? I-I am so sorry. I'd like to hope there's a part of you that will remember me.

Ava: There is.

U-1212: I love you, Ava. Goodbye.

*Liz pauses the recording*

Ava: How could you not tell me the truth?

Liz: I did not choose to be your mother.

Ava: My mother?! Do you even think of me as a daughter? Or am I more of a liability?

Liz: Requiem took 'genetic' samples from all of us, with or without our consent.

Ava: Who the fuck did you people think you were to make these decisions?!

Liz: The Entity. It is a reflection of you. A shadow. Born the same moment you were, and every time the veil between this world and the dark aether is lifted, it's influence grows stronger. Please. You need to let me help you.

Ava: Help me?! All you've done... is LIE!

Liz: Wait, Ava wait, Ava!

*Ava leaves the room*

Liz: *sighs* *looks at U-1212* I'm sorry...

Chapter 23: Liz's Personal Log

Chapter Text

Liz: Kapitan Elizabeth. Personal log. Perhaps I should stop saying rank. It was stripped from me long ago. I have been many things. Knight in Danafor. After Spetsnaz. Informant. Traitor. Requiem Operator. Mob Enforcer in Avalon. Instrument of Revenge... Slayer of Monsters. Decades have passed. The world transformed. And yet here we are again. At least this time, we had a plan in place. Operation Deadbolt came together overnight. My colleagues seem capable enough, even if they do not trust me. And why should they? But there is already so much for them to absorb. My story can wait until they are ready. I only hope this is my last dance with darkness. I just don't know how many more monsters I can slay.

Chapter 24: Miller's Past Part 1

Chapter Text

Miller: Um, excuse me Liz, feel free to send me packing, but I've noticed you're not rattled by anything going on here. Also, people've been saying Greene didn't have a choice in bringing you on board.

Liz: My expertise came... at a high price. Being here, it is my duty. We all have our instructions.

Miller: Hmm...I've got history with this kind of thing too. The place I grew up, it was a town by the name of Harpers Ferry.

Liz: My god... You were there? But you would have been so young... how did you possib-

Miller: Hold up. You know about what happened? Every pencil neck I've ever spoken to said those files were sealed.

Liz: People... they tell me things. I know it was a tragedy.

Miller: Well, shit. I've kept my mouth shut, worked my ass off in the service, and convinced the powers that be to assign me to Deadbolt, just to find out that you're one with the answers?!

Liz: Perhaps I can help? When you have time, record what you remember. And I can do my best to connect the dots for you. Separate fact from fiction.

Miller: Y-You'd do that?

Liz: I promise.

Miller: Deal. Now, that means you can't go dying on me.

Liz: *chuckles* I... am good at keeping promises.

Chapter 25: Miller's Past Part 2

Chapter Text

Miller: Liz. I know you told me to record this when I had time. Well, I'm making time. If you can fill in the gaps, I might be able to make peace with what happened. Right. Outbreak day. *inhales* *exhales* First thing I did that day was wake up and go to school. It was 1991 so I must've been in kindergar-no wait, no...first grade. Sometime after recess there was a fire-drill. When everyone filed out onto the playground, we found our parents waiting for us. I was so excited to see Mom and Dad, it... I-I didn't notice how scared they looked, I thought they'd planned something special, like we were going to the bowling alley or something. Before I knew what was happening, Mom grabbed me by the wrist and ran. I-I mean I had no idea where we were going, now that I think about it, she probably didn't either. Dad had his hunting rifle with him. He was just ahead of us, but I kept losing sight of him 'cuz he was always ducking around corners. Mom still had her hand wrapped my wrist, telling me to pick up my feet or I'd get left behind. Our little town must've been in chaos, but I didn't notice any of that. All I could do was focus on staying upright. I-I tried to keep up, I really did. but my legs were too short and we were running so fast. I cried begging Mom to slow down, but she just tightened her grip, and kept her eyes straight ahead. Saying over and over... "Pick up your feet, babygirl, or you're gonna get left behind!" I tried to get Dad's attention, get him to tell her to stop. But he'd bolted down the alleyway by Olly's Comics. That's when I heard a loud crash. Somethin' growled. Dad started screaming...and then...then the rifle went off. Mom just kept running. I think that's enough for today.

Soap: SSO Greene. I set this meet so we can bury the beef between you and Elizabeth... It hurts your leadership. It hurts morale. And I am not losing anymore operators because you two can't play nice.

Greene: The ball's in Elizabeth's court. Always has been.

Soap: Negative. You work your shite out, right here... right now. Both of ya... Eli, give her something. Help Greene get to a place where she can let herself trust you.

Liz: I am a veteran of previous outbreaks. I know this enemy as well as anyone can. Why is this not enough?

Greene: Because you are hiding things from me that I need to do my job. You serve this operation, not the other way around.

Soap: Easy, now... Least we're talking. Could you rely on someone who won't show all their cards, Eli...?

Liz: Nyet...but... we always compartmentalize intelligence, do we not?

Greene: Not to our superiors. I need all I can get from you to do my job right.

Liz: And if I withhold things for your protection? What if knowing more does not make you safer?

Soap: That's her risk to take, mate.

Greene: I wasn't assigned this position to keep me safe. I have a duty to serve.

Liz: Fair enough, comrade Greene. Where should I start?

Greene: Well, no thanks to your file, I don't even know your date of birth.

Liz: I was born in the United Kingdom on the 6th of January of the late 4th century.

Greene: Bullshit... that would make you, what? 1527 years old? Shit, you still look like you're 27. There's no way...
