Gora Dam/Transcript

== Cutscene ==
Nikolai's helicopter lands down in a field next to Laswell's position. Price, Gaz, Soap, Ghost, and Farah escort Shepherd to Laswell.
Price: Put him here.
Gaz and Soap grab Shepherd and force him to his knees.
Shepherd: What the hell's this...?
Price: The crossroads...
Shepherd looks up to see Laswell approaching him.
Shepherd: Laswell...
Laswell: (contemptuously) Without the stars and bars, you look like frozen shit, General.
Shepherd stands back up and looks around him, surrounded by TF-141.
Shepherd: The best of the best... all in one place.
Gaz: With one glaring exception.
Shepherd: What is the agenda of this little pow wow?
Soap: A choice.
Shepherd: (sarcastically) Do I have one?
Ghost: No.
Shepherd: I'm all ears...
Laswell: Own up... tell us everything...
Shepherd: You know everything.
Laswell: Congress doesn't... and I bet they'd be...
Price: Well, they'd be all ears. Wouldn't they, eh?
Shepherd: That's it?
Farah: No. You clear my name. Tell them who I am. What you gave me...and why.
Shepherd: No one else had the balls to do what I did for you...For all of you...
Gaz: Then, do the right thing, General.
Soap: All your intel on Makarov, and your boy Graves on a leash.
Laswell: Say yes, you get a warm ride home...
Soap: Or take a little "me time"... And freeze to death.
Ghost: That's the one I'm partial to.
Shepherd: "Keep the prisoner focused on their own self-preservation and eventually they will break."
Price smiles, amused.
Price: Good to see you remembered your training, eh... General.
Shepherd: You screw me on this, John... And you'll be sorry you kept me alive...
Price motions his head. Gaz and Soap escort Shepherd to Laswell's helicopter. Price turns to Gaz and Farah.
Price: Let's move.
The three walk away.
The scene shifts to the mission briefing screen.
Laswell: Alright, General, what have you got?
A mugshot of Vladimir Makarov appears.
Shepherd: Makarov aims to finish what he started in Verdansk.
A map of Verdansk and images of the Gora Dam are displayed next.
Shepherd: He's ordered Konni Group to strike the Gora Dam at nightfall.
Soap: He blows the dam, it'll wash away the whole city.
Colored outlines highlight the flooding projections of the area.
Gaz: Countless lives will be lost.
Price: If he follows the playbook, he'll pin it on Farah and the West.
Ghost: Unless we stop it.
Farah: You handle the dam. Alex and my soldiers tracked Konni to a airstrip in Northern Urzikstan.
The map shifts to Urzikstan and reveals a satellite image of a Konni base.
Farah: We believe it's Makarov's forward operating base.
A photo of Farah's forces pops up.
Farah: I'll be heading up an assault there in the morning.
Price: Your forces can't go it alone.
Shepherd: They won't. Shadow will provide air support.
A photo of Shadow Company's AC-130 gunship and a head shot of Philip Graves appears next.
Soap: We can't let Graves rain fire danger close to Farah and her troops.
Farah: I trust Shadow overhead.
Shepherd: You told me to put Graves on a leash, and that's what I'm gonna do.
Price: Keep it real short, General.
Gaz: You really do want a win.
Shepherd: You're damn right I do.
Tabs of both strike teams is displayed with their respective objectives.
Price: Gaz and I deploy with Farah. Soap and Ghost take the dam.
Ghost: Rog.
Nikolai's headshot pops up next along with images of Nikolai's helicopter and a predator drone.
Laswell: Nik will provide transport. I'll put a predator up for eyes.
Price: Don't get compromised.
Soap: We won't, sir.
Farah: Keep your guard up and stay sharp. Good luck, everyone.
The mission briefing screen dissolves.
