The Only Easy Day... Was Yesterday/Transcript

==Cutscene==
The satellite tracks Sgt. Gary "Roach" Sanderson somewhere in the Pacific south of Hawaii, where Task Force 141 is in a sub with General Shepherd.
Captain MacTavish: Seems we're headed the wrong direction, Sir. Shouldn't we be coming back to the fight?
General Shepherd: Plenty of fight to go around, MacTavish. Glad you made it outta South America. You're meeting up with the 6th Fleet. Leadin' the counter-strike.
The satellite traces an individual known as Prisoner #627 incarcerated in a Russian Gulag near Petropavlovsk, Russia.
General Shepherd: Prisoner Six-Two-Seven. We believe that's who Makarov's got the mad-on for. But we can't get to him.
The satellite detects four oil rigs off the Russian east coast and locates the eastern most rig, analyzing SAM sites all around the rig and oil workers held hostage by the Russians.
Captain MacTavish: Oilrigs, sir?
General Shepherd: Russians are using them as SAM sites. Oil workers are human shields so we can't just blow up the rigs wholesale. And this one is the least defended. Boys, I know I'm sending you into the meat grinder in this one...
Captain MacTavish: They're defending it, so it means we want it. Especially if it gets us to Six-Two-Seven.
The satellite locates the U.S.S. Chicago submarine below the oil rig.
==Gameplay==

U.S.S. Dallas launches Team Two.
U.S.S. Dallas: Hotel Six, depth 20 meters.
One member from Team Two gives a thumbs up at the guy in front of Roach, who responds. Both SDVs arrive at the oil rig.
U.S.S. Dallas: Team Two at the objective.

The guy in front signals Roach as TF141 members and Navy SEALs begin to surface. Roach and Captain MacTavish reach the surface. They see two guards on the platform who are talking to each other.
Guard 1: Хватит курить эту дрянь. Лёгкие посадишь. (You smoke too much. Your lungs are gonna go bad.)
Guard 2: Отвали. (Fuck off.)
Guard 1: Чёрт, поделись хоть! (Damn it, share it though!)
Guard 2: Хватит ныть, а? (Enough whining, eh?)
Guard 1: Эх, ненавижу морской воздух... (Oh, I hate the sea air...)This dialogue has continued, in which a security guard 1 complains of Chechens who have joined their squad. But it is pronounced with the accent that parse anything is impossible, so the continuation is not presented here. Security guard 2 answers like: "Нужно быть осторожнее с этими ребятами. Они тоже ненавидят это государство. Хорошую работу трудно найти в эти дни (You need to watch out with those guys. They also hate our government. It's hard to find a good job nowadays)". The oilrig.gsc file has fully translated dialogue, though judging by its content and how it describes the guards as being German mercenaries it is doubtful that this translation has any relation to the actual ingame dialogue:
*//ENEMY COMMAND (German radio): Team one patroling (sic) the perimeter. We've got two on the lower deck.
*//ENEMY COMMAND (German radio): Switch patrols at 08:00. Teams three, five and seven will return to the crew quarters on deck 3.
*//MERC 1 (in German): Those unfiltered pieces of shit will kill you.
*//MERC 1 (in German): Alright, give me one.
*//MERC 2 (in German): Fuck off.
*//MERC 1 (in German): This sea air makes me sick. Preferred the last job. Private security in a limo all day.
*//MERC 2 (in German): You complain too much.
*//MERC 1 (in German): yeah, well, not as much as the Italians. Who hired those lazy fucks anyways? Did you see that one guy the other day? Didn't even know how to clean his gun.
*//MERC 1 (in German): Yeah, too much spent on gear but no clue how to use it.
*//You know what they call a cheeseburger in Russian?
*//You've got to be kidding me. You think this is a Tarantino movie or something?
*//(laughs) Alright, well at least the Russians pay well. I was hesitant to take the job till I saw the bottom line. I don't know where their financing comes from, but I don't really care either. Still...they're pretty damn secretive.
*//As long as I get paid, I could care less. They can be as secretive as they like. It's none of my business what their politics are.
*//(YAWNS) How much longer until the patrol changes. I've gotta take a piss.
Captain MacTavish: In position... on your go.; In position. Let's take them out together... on your go.; We'll take them out at the same time... on your go.; We'll take them out together... on your go.

Captain MacTavish: Set up for Plan B. Get some C4 on those bodies, go.
If the player stalls...
Captain MacTavish: Get that C4 planted ASAP. We don't have much time.
They plant C4 on the dead bodies.
Ghost: C4 placed, sir.
Captain MacTavish: Get to an elevated position. We'll ambush them when they discover the bodies.
They position themselves as the patrol arrives.
Captain MacTavish: There's the patrol. Hold your fire until they're closer. Standby.... Standby....
The patrol enters the room and discovers what had happened. Loud chatter is heard on their radio.
Captain MacTavish: Plan B. Do it.
Roach detonates the C4. An alarm sounds. The team engages the enemy.
Captain MacTavish: Control, this is Hotel Six. Our cover is blown.

The Little Bird's guns start to spin. Roach shoots it down (the player can use either an AT4 or his M203).
Ghost: Nice shot, Roach.; Enemy helo neutralized.; That helo is history. Nice shot.
Captain MacTavish: The clock's ticking. We need to get topside and secure any remaining hostages before we call in the Marines.
They push through around the rig.

The TF141 team begins to boards Little Bird helicopters that land on the platform. Roach boards and pulls out his M14 EBR Scoped (After boarding a Little Bird, MacTavish gives Roach an M14 EBR Scoped in the Remastered version).
