Violence and Timing/Transcript

== Cutscene ==
Captain John Price and Sergeant Kyle "Gaz" Garrick watch a video on their laptop of Kate Laswell in a moving vehicle, held at gunpoint a masked Al-Qatala fighter. General Shepherd is on the other line.
Gaz: This is proof of life.
Price: Where did this come from?
Shepherd: Urzikstan.
Price: Look... They're pointing east.
Shepherd: Likely at Al Mazrah.
Gaz: They get her underground there, we'll lose her for good.
Price: We'll lead the rescue team.
Price starts to move before Shepherd interjects.
Shepherd: That's not gonna happen, John.
Price stops in his tracks.
Gaz: Say again, General?
Shepherd: This is a tug o' war, boys. We need to pull back, not lean forward.
Gaz: Since when?
Shepherd: Since now. We can't just send in the cavalry. These things take planning and preparation.
Price: These things take violence and timing, I can do both. Kate's life is in a fuckin' hourglass.
An airborne UH-60 Black Hawk approaches, which Gaz waves down
Shepherd: I know you're upset, Captain. This happened on your mission and that's a tough pill to swallow.
Price: Are you telling me, we leave her?
Shepherd: I'm telling you I can't help you... But I won't stop you.
Price and Gaz look at each other for a moment.
Price: I'll have her back in twelve hours.
Price closes the laptop.
Shepherd: Don't die doin' this, John. Laswell wouldn't want that. I don't either.
Gaz: General, I thought Kate was your friend?
Shepherd: War isn't about friends. It's about enemies. Good luck.
Price hands Gaz the laptop and they start walking toward the helicopter that's just landing.
Gaz: We'd be going head to head with AQ on their home turf. They're going to have hundreds more protecting Laswell. We need an army.
Price: I can get us an army.
Price and Gaz board the helicopter as Price turns to the cockpit.
Price: Nik!
Nikolai turns to greet Price and Gaz.
Nikolai: Where to?
The scene shifts to Urzikstan.
URZIKSTAN
A convoy of vehicles drives on the road through the desert. In one of the vehicles, Laswell sits in her seat under guard from Al Qatala fighters. On top of a mesa, a motorcycle comes to a stop. The driver lifts her goggles, revealing herself to be Farah Karim. A Liberation Force fighter speaks with Farah through the radio.
LF Fighter: (in Arabic) Commander, Al-Qatala's here.
Farah: (in Arabic) Copy, I see them. Go to the rally point and wait for us.
LF Fighter: (in Arabic) Yes, Ma'am.
Farah looks up to the skies to see Nikolai's helicopter fly by.
Farah: Captain- It's Farah. It's time.
Price: Rog. Wheels down in one.
Farah replaces her goggles and mask, and then revs up her motorcycle as she drives down the mesa.
== Gameplay ==
Price: Nik, convoy's inbound. We're on.
Nikolai: Copy that.
Nikolai's Black Hawk flies over the desert to the road that the enemy convoy is driving on.
Nikolai: Over the HLZ now.
Price: Good. Set 'er down and hold.
Inside the helicopter, Price walks over to the helicopter hatch where Gaz is standing.
Price: Gaz, you stay in the heli on overwatch. We'll work our way up the line.
Gaz: Roger that. Let's thin the herd, get Laswell back.
Price and Gaz trade fist bumps before Price dismounts from the helicopter and walks over to Farah on her motorcycle.
Farah: Hey, old man.
Price: Farah, thanks for the assist.
Farah: We share a common enemy.
Price: And a friend in need. Are you ready?
Farah replaces her mask and goggles.
Farah: All set. See you down the road!
Farah drives off.
Price: All stations... we're on the move!
Farah: Copy!
Price runs over to a pickup truck and joins an attack force of Urikstan Liberation Force fighters on motorcycles and pickup trucks.
Gaz: Rog! Nik - green to go!

Nikolai: Roger that.
Gaz: What vehicle is she in?

Farah: We're with you!
Price: Keep hitting the vehicles!
Gaz destroys the enemy vehicles with the grenade launcher.
Gaz: Clear in the back!

Nikolai: Affirmative, Captain. But, there's a lot of Al Qatala between you.
Gaz: Leave that to us!
Price: Just don't lose her, Nik. 6 out.
Farah: AQ's best soldiers will guard Laswell. We're getting close!
Price: We need to spread out. Gaz, secure a vehicle. We'll hit 'em from every angle we can.
(If Gaz doesn't immediately board an enemy vehicle)
Price: Take another vehicle, Gaz. We need to spread out.; Gaz, load up and secure a vehicle.

(If Gaz's vehicle takes enough damage...)
Price/Nikolai: Sergeant, you need new wheels.
Gaz moves up through the convoy, alternating between shooting the enemy soldiers and driving his vehicle. He comes upon another group of Al-Qatala vehicles, one of which aims a missile launcher at Gaz.

Price: He's looking on to you, Gaz!; Take him down, Sergeant!
Gaz successfully shoots the missile launcher soldier.
Farah: He's down! Move up!

LF Fighter 2: (in Arabic) Yes, Commander!
Farah: I see them! Up ahead!
Price: Take 'em out fast or we're done!
Gaz alternates between shooting down the drones and driving his vehicle.
Nikolai: Gaz, the drone pilot is in the rear of the truck! Take him out-!
(If one of the drones manages to hit Gaz's vehicle...)
Farah: Gaz, you wounded?
Gaz: Not yet!
Price: Another hit like that and you will be!
Gaz kills the drone pilot.
Gaz: Got the drone pilot!
Gaz drives up to find an enemy APC ahead of him.
Nikolai: Be advised, enemy APC ahead!
Gaz: We don't have the firepower to take on an APC!
Farah: Get in close! When you're ready, I'll draw its fire so you can board!
Gaz: Copy that!
Gaz drives after the enemy APC, which fires on Gaz with its machine gun and deploys mines at the same time.
Gaz: Bloody hell-!

Farah: Sergeant, you have to get close to the APC!
Gaz drives up to the rear of the APC.
Gaz: I'm in position!
Farah: Okay, get ready!

Price: Laswell's in the black SUV, Sergeant. Move in.
The rescue force eliminates all the remaining Al Qatala soldiers.
Price: Black SUV, Gaz. Move yer arse.
Gaz approaches the black SUV ahead. 
(If Gaz doesn't immediately move to secure the SUV...)
Price: Gaz, open it.
Gaz reaches for the passenger side door. Suddenly, Laswell leaps out from the vehicle with an Al Qatala fighter, whom she elbows in the face and puts into a chokehold with the soldier's rifle.
Gaz: Kate!
Farah: (in Arabic) Let go-- drop your weapon!!
Price: Laswell, clear! Kate- move!
Laswell: No-! He's mine...!
Laswell snaps the soldier's neck, killing him.
Price: Check it.
Gaz checks out the SUV for any more soldiers. Laswell gets up to her feet as Price tries to calm her down.
Gaz: All clear!
Price: Kate- It's over... It's over.
Laswell calms down.
Laswell: It's a family reunion.
Gaz: Wouldn't miss it.
Laswell looks at Farah gratefully.
Laswell: Farah.
Farah: Nice moves, Laswell.
Laswell: You too... All of you.
Price: We're in Al Mazrah- we gotta get somewhere safe... now.
Farah: Captain's right. 
Price and Gaz escort Laswell to Nikolai's helicopter and Farah goes to rejoin her troops.
Farah: (in Arabic) Back over the border, I'll take point.
The rescue force leaves the area.
