Highway of Death/Transcript

== Cutscene ==
The camera reveals a computer displaying the map of Urzikstan's capital, Sakhra. A red wave spreads out from the map indicating Al-Qatala spreading out through the area.
Farah: (voiceover) The Wolf is with the Butcher. Terrorist cells in the city will hide them. Bravo will clear house to house in search, my people will help you. If they try to escape to the mountains, there is only one road-
The map displays a lone road called the Highway of Death leading out of the city. The red wave spills into the road.
Farah: '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.
The map displays a lone village out in the desert that the highway runs through.
Farah: Alex and I will join them and take up firing positions above the road- Lying in wait, for the Wolf...
The camera zooms in on a lone truck driving up the road towards the village. The camera switches over to...
== Gameplay ==
...Alex's POV as he rides with Farah in the back of the truck.
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: Yes, our window is short. Barkov's men will be on the hunt. He has lost control... He will come to take it back.
The truck reaches the village and comes to a stop as Farah lets out a whistle to the driver.
Farah: (in Arabic) Hold here. (to Alex) Let's move. We have to cut the Wolf off at the pass.
Farah hops out of the truck and Alex follows her as they walk through the ruins of the village.
Farah: Before the war, this village had families and laughter.
Alex: (grimly) Laughter is the best medicine...
Farah: Tell me a joke.
Alex: What happens when the CIA goes to sleep?
Farah: What...?
Alex: They go undercover...
Farah: (slight chuckle) Not bad.
Alex: Probably better in English.
Farah: You told it in English.
Farah approaches a militia fighter who is carrying two ammo crates.
Farah: (in Arabic) Keep those close.
Militia Fighter 1: (in Arabic) Yes, ma'am.
Alex and Farah walk up the stairs of a house to the roof overlooking the highway.
Farah: Hadir took the high ground for us. My father called Hadir, "shabal." His little lion.
Alex: What happened to him?
Farah: He died, fighting...
On the roof, a few militia fighters are preparing for the ambush. One of them reports to Farah about Al-Qatala's movements.
Militia Female Fighter 2: AQ scouts inbound, ma'am...
Farah: (in Arabic) Keep us posted. (to Alex) Alex, this way. Hadir is waiting for us. I told him to bring everything he's got...
Alex follows Farah to the next rooftop where Hadir is waiting for them. Hadir displays an impressive-looking heavily modified sniper rifle.
Hadir: Alex... check this out. .338 Lapua. Armor piercing at 600 meters. I put it together myself... (puts rifle down) Please, use it.
Alex picks up Hadir's special rifle and inspects it himself, even checking the magazine rounds.
Alex: Solid heater.
Hadir: Protect her with your life, she will do the same for you.
Alex: Thanks, Hadir.
Farah scopes out the highway from the roof and goes into a prone position to spot for Alex.
Farah: Perfect for this distance. I'll spot for you, Alex.
Hadir: We are brothers now, Alex... Make me proud.
Farah: Lie flat... it will help steady your shot.
Alex lies flat on his stomach.
Farah: Look through your scope. Let's get you dialed in.
Alex aims down the rifle's scope.
Farah: Look for the glinting light near the highway.
Alex aims his scope towards the glinting light by the highway.
Alex: Got it.
Farah: Now adjust your magnification.
Alex zooms in with his scope on the glinting light better.
Alex: On it, Commander.
Farah: How formal...
Farah speaks on the radio to the militiaman carrying the glinting light.
Farah: (in Arabic) Ali, group up with the others.
Militia Fighter 1: Yes, Commander!
The militia fighter runs off to join the group of other fighters.
Farah: Stay with him and you'll see my team near the road.
Alex keeps his scope trained on the militia fighter until he sees the group of militia fighters further out.
Alex: Yep, I see 'em.
Farah: They'll support us when we attack the Al-Qatala convoy. (in Arabic) Reza, put a target by the bus!
Militia Fighter 3: (laughs in Arabic) Always me, cousin!
Farah: (in Arabic) You're reliable!
Alex watches through his scope as the next militia fighter runs off to place a target near the bus.
Farah: Vertical notches adjust for distance. Each one is 200 meters.
The militia fighter places a green object right by the bus.
Militia Fighter 3: (in Arabic) Ready!
Farah: (in Arabic) Get safe. Fire in the hole. (to Alex) The target is 400 meters away- aim two notches above it.
Alex: Two notches. Got it.
Farah: The wind will push your shots off target. Use the flags for direction. Shoot against the wind.
Alex aims his scope accordingly to the notches of the crosshairs.
Alex: Done.
Farah: Now fire.
Alex fires, hitting the object.
Farah: Hit!
Hadir: Haha! She speaks to you, Alex!
Farah: My brother. Your biggest fan. Let's try another target at a different range. There's a blue house in the distance. Can you see it?
Alex aims his scope further out until he spots the blue house in the distance.
Alex: Visual on the blue house.
Farah: Increase your zoom, Alex.
Alex zooms in on the blue house.
Farah: There's fruit on the icebox. Range, 600 meters. Fire when you're ready.
Alex aims the rifle by adjusting his crosshairs to three notches above the target. He fires and hits the fruit.
Farah: Hit.
Hadir: (in Arabic) His fruit killing skills are remarkable!
Alex: I heard that...
Farah: [You animals]. Pay attention, boys. You should be dialed in, now. Remember- use the environment to your advantage. Flags for wind direction, landmarks for distance.
Alex: Understood.
Farah: Good. Now, watch the highway for activity. They won't be long now...
Alex peers through his rifle scope to view the observe the highway.
Alex: Nothing but the wind...
After a few more moments, Farah sees movement by the distant oil refineries.
Farah: I got something. By that moving oil pump.
Alex zooms in on the area around the oil pump and sees only a few animals.
Alex: Just some strays.
(Alternatively, Farah can say it instead of Alex...)
Farah: Just some stray dogs.
Farah: Keep scanning the road. The Wolf will be here soon.
After some time, the sound of an approaching vehicle can be heard on the highway.
Militia Fighter 1: (in Arabic) One vehicle approaching from the east!
Farah: (in Arabic) Copy. Do not attack. (in English) They spotted a vehicle. Right side, could be the Wolf or his men...
Alex: Looks like we've finally got some company.
Farah: They're scouts for the Wolf. Hold your fire. Wait for a clean shot.
Alex keeps his scope zoomed in on the vehicle as it comes to a stop behind a yellow house.
Farah: (in Arabic) Ali, do you see them?
Militia Fighter 1: (in Arabic) They're climbing to the roof.
Farah: Eyes on the roof, Alex.
Alex zooms his scope on the roof of the house and watches as two men climb up there.
Farah: Two, on the roof!
Alex: Yep. I see 'em.
Farah: 400 meters. Fire when you're ready.
Alex fires his rifle and kills the two enemy soldiers from far away.
Farah: Good hit- One more. 
Alex shoots the second man.
Farah: Nice shot- two of the Wolf's scouts gone... (in Arabic) Ali, you're clear to move in.
The militia sends a few men over to the scouts' truck to set up an ambush for the Wolf and his men.
Farah: Hadir is resourceful. He has them setting up a trap for the Wolf's men.
Hadir: Alex, cover the team rigging the truck.
Alex: Killing the Wolf doesn't guarantee us the stolen gas...
Farah: True. What happens if you don't find it?
Alex: I have to...
Alex watches through his scope as the militia drives the truck in front of a wrecked bus and set up bombs inside the truck before running back to their hiding spots.
Militia Female Fighter 1: (in Arabic, over radio) The IEDs are in place, cousin!
Farah: (in Arabic) Okay. Now take cover and wait for the signal. (in English) The Wolf's men will have to move the truck to pass through. Wait until they're close, then detonate it.
A moment passes before the militia spots the Wolf's convoy approaching.
Militia Fighter 1: (in Arabic, over radio) Cousin, I see the convoy to the east.
Farah: (in Arabic) Understood. This is it. Fight well, cousins. (in English) The Wolf's soldiers are here, Alex. Right side of the highway.
Three enemy vehicles drive down the highway towards the ambush point.
Hadir: Three Al-Qatala vehicles.
Farah: I see. Check fire- let them get in range.
Militia Fighter 1: (in Arabic, over radio) Shall I attack?
Farah: (in Arabic) No. Let them get closer.
The Al-Qatala convoy slows down just several feet away from the trap.
Farah: Closer. Go on... don't be shy.
The convoy stops, allowing the Al-Qatala fighters to dismount from their vehicles and notice the truck in the way.
Farah: They see it- They're moving to the truck. Hadir...
Hadir: I see them...
Farah: Get ready, Alex...
Three Al-Qatala fighters go to investigate the truck and get close enough for the trap to be sprung.
Farah: Detonate the truck, Alex. Do it.
Alex detonates the explosives, killing the three insurgents. The militia ambushes the Al-Qatala convoy. 
Farah: (in Arabic) Attack! Attack! (in English) Open fire! They're to the right of the bus.; AQ on the bus!; Inside the bus!; Check the windows!; Alex, left side!
(Whenever Alex lands a shot on the enemy.)
Farah: Hit.; Good kill, Alex.; Good hit!
Alex continues to assist in the attack on the convoy. Eventually, Al-Qatala reinforcements arrive in large trucks.
Farah: The Wolf sent reinforcements! Hadir, pull your team back!
Hadir: We shouldn't back up
Farah: Do it!
Hadir: (on radio) Ali, pull back! Get out of there!
The enemy vehicles come speeding towards the main attack force.
Farah: Shoot the engines! Stop them!
(Whenever Alex stops a truck...)
Alex: It's down!; Good hit!; You got it!
The Al-Qatala fighters reach the main force.
Hadir: Here they come!
Alex, Farah, and Hadir are forced to engage the enemy within the village. After eliminating some of the Al-Qatala fighters, the militia comes under fire from a mortar barrage.
Hadir: Mortars! Alex, take them out!
Alex uses Hadir's sniper rifle to seek out and eliminate the mortar teams.
Farah: Look for the muzzle flash when they fire!
Alex spots the mortar teams.
Alex: Eyes on!
Alex snipes one of the Al-Qatala mortar teams.
Alex: They're down!
The mortar strikes continue.
Hadir: Alex, there's another Al-Qatala mortar team. Take them out!
Alex sights in on another mortar team.
Alex: In my sights.
Alex eliminates the second mortar team as before.
Alex: Clear! They're down!
Yet another mortar barrage strikes the area.
Hadir: Negative! There's still a mortar team out there!
Alex zooms in on another mortar team in the distance.
Alex: On 'em.
Alex takes down the mortar team.
Alex: Mortars are clear!
Farah spots an armored Al-Qatala truck speeding towards the militia on a suicide run.
Farah: Suicide truck! Left side! Left side!; Stop that truck, Alex!; Hit the truck! Hit the truck now!
Alex lands a hit on the truck with the sniper rifle's armor piercing rounds.
Alex: Hit it again!; Aim for the driver!
Hadir: Shoot it, Alex! Shoot it!
Alex succeeds in shooting the suicide driver, preventing the truck from completing its run.
Farah: Close call! Good shooting, Alex.
Hadir: The Wolf must be coming or they wouldn't send these forces to clear the way.
Farah: Start planting IEDs, brother. (to Alex) Hadir and I will reinforce the perimeter, Alex. Get to the east bunker and resupply for the Wolf.
Farah sets up IEDs throughout the village.
(If Alex doesn't go to the supply bunker yet...)
Farah: Get to the supply bunker, Alex. Al-Qatala will return with greater numbers.
Alex enters the resupply bunker in the east and stocks up on weapons and ammunition before rejoining Farah and Hadir.
(If Alex has swapped Hadir's sniper rifle for another weapon...)
Farah: I'd stay with that rifle, Alex. We will be attacking the Wolf's convoy from long range.
(If Alex still doesn't pick up the sniper rifle...)
Farah: At this distance, Hadir's rifle is your best bet to hit the Wolf and his men...
Hadir is seen planting explosives for the Al-Qatala attack.
Alex: More explosives, Hadir?
Hadir: Never too much... Same as before- enemies get close, detonate them... Watch your distance...
Farah: Alex! Captain Price is calling on the radio. He says it's urgent.
Alex makes his way to a radio being manned by a militia fighter, who allows Alex to use the equipment.
Militia Fighter 1: Please...
Alex gets on the radio to speak with Captain Price.
Alex: Echo 3-1 for Actual.
Price: (over radio) Alex, the Wolf fled the city. He's headed your way, and the Russians are right behind him!
An Al-Qatala sniper opens fire on the militia.
Farah: Sniper!
Hadir: Get down!
Alex: Troops in contact, Actual!
Farah: Stay low! Don't let him see you!
Price: (over radio) Copy- On our way.
Alex gets to cover on the rooftop.
Hadir: Stay covered!
Farah: Those shots came from across the highway!
Alex looks through the sniper rifle's scope and finds the sniper camped out in the distance across from the highway.
Alex: On him...
Farah: Hit him now!
(If Alex misses)
Alex: Wind shifted!
Farah: It's much stronger now! You'll have to adjust! Four notches to the left!
Alex: Reacquiring!
Alex looks through his scope and finds the enemy sniper's rifle glinting in the sunlight.
Alex: He's repositioning.
(If the sniper fires another shot before Alex shoots him.)
Hadir: He's picking us off! Alex, find that sniper!
Farah: His scope will reflect in the sunlight. Look for the glint.; Watch for the glint of his scope.
Alex finally manages to take down the sniper.
Alex: Got him.
Farah: Good kill, Alex.
Hadir: Al-Qatala is regrouping across the highway!
Farah: This could be him!
Al-Qatala mortar teams launch a barrage of strikes against the militia, only to be blown away by bombs from passing Russian MIGs.
Farah: Russian MIGs! They hit Al-Qatala...
Alex: Doing the job for us!
Hadir: Barkov's army will be here soon!
Off in the distance, white smoke is deployed to the far left of the highway in order to conceal the enemy's movements.
Hadir: Sister, smoke! White smoke on the left!
Russian armored vehicles arrive.
Hadir: Alex, find a way to stop them!
Alex fires a shot at the vehicles only for the bullets to deflect.
Hadir: We cannot penetrate that armor!
Alex aims for the tires instead to stop the vehicles.
(Every time Alex hits a vehicle's tires.)
Hadir: Keep it up, Alex!
Farah: Good hit!
The enemy vehicles are eventually stopped in their tracks thanks to Alex's efforts. Smoke grenades are deployed to help the Russians' advance.
Farah: They're concealing their advance!
Russian Spetsnaz soldiers advance through the smoke and the militia is forced to defend their position. Eventually, the Russians start to wear down the militia's defenses one by one.
Hadir: We need more firepower!
Alex: Right now, we need to move!
Farah: We need help! Where is Captain Price?!
Hadir: We cannot wait! I've got more firepower in the truck! Alex! Follow me!
Alex follows Hadir to the truck.
Hadir: Get to my truck, Alex!; Come on, Alex! I have ordnance in my truck, help me!
Alex and Hadir reach the truck.
Hadir: My truck is full of explosives, very powerful explosives- It's time to use them... Open the tailgate, quickly! I'll cover us!; Open it, Alex!
Alex opens the truck's tailgate in the back, only to reveal the same Russian gas that was stolen from Verdansk.
Alex: (shocked) Russian gas?
Hadir starts up the truck's engine, sends the vehicle off in the direction of the Russian troops and tosses a grenade in the back.
Hadir: Yes- and now we send it back to the Russians!
The truck crashes and explodes, releasing a heavy plume of the poison gas that covers the area. Both Russians and militia fighters start to suffer and die off from the effects of the gas. Hadir puts on a gas mask himself.
Hadir: The gas masks are in the bunker, come quickly!
Farah: Hadir! What is this?!
Hadir: A taste of their own medicine!
Farah: What?!
Hadir: The gas! If they can use it, so can we! Go, sister, inside!
Alex and Farah struggle to make it to the bunker, only to drop to the ground and lose consciousness. The camera fades in and out of black as Alex struggles to survive. Alex looks up to see Hadir placing a gas mask on his face and dragging Alex to safety as he slips in and out. Alex winds up in the bunker and sees Farah with a gas mask on her face, coughing and struggling to regain her breathing. Hadir tries to help her up on her feet.
Hadir: Sister!
Farah pushes Hadir away from her.
Farah: Get off of me! How could you do this?!
Hadir: We had no choice, Farah! All bets are off!
Farah: No! Not like this!
Farah loses consciousness and passes out on the ground. Hadir tries to rouse her.
Hadir: Sister?! Sister!
Hadir looks up at Alex and goes over to him.
Hadir: Alex! Listen to me... I stole the gas from the Russians, to help us... only to help us! Tell Farah... Tell her, Alex... 
Hadir walks away leaving Alex and Farah alone as Alex loses consciousness.
