The city of Amsterdam is bustling with morning activity. Price is seated at Cafe Gracht, watching the representatives of both Al-Qatala and Las Almas conduct their business meeting.
Price: Bravo-6 to Watcher-1. In position at the cafe. Two at the table to my 3 o'clock, one cartel, one Iranian.
Laswell: (over radio) How cozy. What are they up to?
Price: Conducting a transaction.
Laswell: Electronically.
Price: Affirm.
The scene shifts to Gaz and Laswell walking down an alleyway.
Gaz: They're paying the cartel for something...
Laswell: Let's figure out what...
Gaz: Security?
Price: Several.
Gaz: I'll deal with them.
Price: Well, don't take all the fun, eh?
Gaz: Copy- Coming' your way now.
Laswell slips an improvised tranquilizer into Gas's hands.
Laswell: Syringe.
Gaz: Poison?
Laswell: Non-lethal. It'll take 'em out of commission.
Gaz: CIA shit...
Gaz and Laswell reach the end of the alleyway leading into the street.
Laswell: Welcome to my world... Use the needle on the guards and we roll up our cartel friend...
Gaz: And you?
Laswell: Exfil. Say when.
Gaz: Roger that.
Laswell and Gaz split up with the latter trailing behind the former at a distance.

Laswell: 0-6, sitrep?
Price: Talking timeline.
Laswell: When are they moving?
Price: Tonight.
Laswell: Stay on 'em- We need to know what it is and where it's going.
Price: Copy.
Gaz and Laswell cross a bridge over the canal and spot two cartel members ahead of them.
Laswell: Hold up.
Gaz stays still while Laswell moves up to identify the cartel members.
Laswell: Two cartel guards. End of the bridge. 
Gaz; Got a visual.
Laswell: Keep your weapons concealed. Let's see if they split up.
Gaz and Laswell watch the cartel members split up.
Laswell/Gaz: Okay, one's leaving./Good call. One's leaving.
Price: Heading my way.
Laswell: I'll tail him.
Gaz: I'll take the one at the bridge.
Laswell: Moving.
Gaz approaches the cartel member at the end of the bridge.
Cartel Member 2: (in Spanish) Get the fuck back!
Gaz jabs the cartel member with the syringe and lowers him onto a bench as the cartel member dozes off to sleep.
Gaz: Woah- easy, mate. One too many, huh? (to Laswell) Guard's down. Bridge is clear.
Laswell: Good work. Regroup on me.
Gaz walks through the crowded area toward Laswell's position.
Price: Watcher-1... The cargo is human- one VIP, bound for the US.
Laswell: Who, John?
Price: Major Hassan Zyani.
Laswell: That means he's in Mexico.
Gaz: Means there's time to stop him.
Laswell: We need to roll up our cartel friend for a talk, now.
Price: If Hassan gets a missile anywhere near the US- there'll be a death toll.
Gaz and Laswell take up positions in front of a tattoo shop.
Gaz: What's the call? There's guards all over him.
Price: We haven't scouted the area. There could be more guards.
Laswell: There's no time to case the area, John. We need a distraction.
Price: I've got something. Meet at the cafe, Gaz.
(If Gaz approaches the cartel and Al-Qatala representative...)
Price: Gaz, you're too close to the HVI. Get some distance.
Gaz walks to the cafe and meets Price at his table. Price holds his arm out under the table for Gaz.
Price: Take it.
Gaz takes a decoy grenade from under the table and conceals it.
Gaz: The bloody hell is this?
Price: Decoy grenade. It'll work. Get back to Laswell. Let's kick this off.
Gaz returns to Laswell.
Laswell: Down the alley. When panic starts to spread, that's when the cartel moves him.
Price: That's where I come in.
Laswell: On you, Gaz.
Gaz walks down the alley and reaches a dumpster. He opens it up, primes the grenade, and throws it into the dumpster.
Gaz: Goin' loud in 3...
The grenade goes off and attracts the attention of two cartel members, one of whom walks up to Gaz while the other walks up to Laswell.
Laswell: Gaz, the guards are incoming. Take one, I'll get the other.
Gaz: Rog.
Cartel Member 2: Hey! You! Don't fucking move!
Laswell: Now, Sergeant.
Gaz knocks out the first cartel member while Laswell does likewise with the other.
Gaz: Guards are down. Heading your way, Cap.
Price: Make it fast.
Gaz takes the cartel member's pistol and Laswell moves to another area.
Laswell: I'll secure exfil.
Gaz: Meet you at the bridge.
Gaz exits the alley and makes his way to Price's location. 
Price: I'm moving in-!
The cartel member and his bodyguard leave the cafe, only to be ambushed by Price who knocks out the bodyguard and subdues the cartel representative with an arm lock.
Price: Shut your mouth. Follow me. Watcher-1, package secure. Heading your way.
Laswell: Copy.
Price and Gaz escort the cartel representative to their exfiltration point. Suddenly, three Las Almas members appear and open fire on the SAS soldiers. Civilians start screaming and running everywhere.
Gaz: Cartel! Behind us!
Price: Cover, Sergeant! Watcher-1, we're taking fire. Three hostiles to our South.
Laswell: Copy. I'm inbound. be advised, police are on the way. 3 minutes out.
Price: Drop 'em fast! We have to move!
Gaz dispatches the three cartel members. Price forces the cartel representative to the ground.
Gaz: Clear!
Price: Gaz, bring the syringe! 
Gaz heads over to Price and the HVT.
Price: Jab him.
Gaz tranquilizes the cartel representative in the neck, knocking him out to sleep.
Price: Let's get him up...
Price and Gaz help the cartel representative to his feet and move him out of the area.
Price: Watcher, time to move...
Laswell: Copy, on my way...
Laswell drives up to Price and Gaz, who shove the cartel representative into the vehicle.
Price: Get him in.
Price and Gaz enter the vehicle.
Laswell: Nice work.
Gaz: You too.
Laswell: We need to find where they're moving Hassan and intercept him.
Price: We'll wake him up and have a little chat.
Price takes out a cigar and lights it.
Gaz: How do we know he'll talk?
Laswell: I can be very persuasive...
Price, Gaz, and Laswell drive off.
Cut to black. End of level.
