In the bustling metropolis of Metro City, Julian Murphy was just an ordinary high school student, however, a tragedy strikes as his father, a revered member of an elite task force, was ruthlessly killed by the notorious terrorist leader Vladimir Mak...
(Back in the HQ, The team captured a Russian Soldier. David and Alessandra beat the crap out of the man earlier.)

Russian soldier: You... you do not scare me, all of you. You dumb task force members won't be able to get me to talk.

Alessandra/Outrider: Do you think you could deceive us, fool? We all know you are a member of the Inner Circle, part of Makarov's team.
(Julian approaches the Russian soldier, removing his helmet to reveal his face.)
Russian Soldier: Curse you! Vladimir will surely bring destruction to the world!
(Alessandra kicks the Russian in the chest, causing him to gasp for air. David pulls a knife from his sleeve and holds it to the man's face.)

David/Prophet: We've just started roughing you up. If we wanted you dead, I could've thrown you into a cell full of panthers that would tear you apart. I don't want your death on my conscience... But then again, who says I believe in karma?
(The door opens, and Spectre enters.)
Spectre: What do we have here?
Alessandra/Outrider: Ah, my favorite brother. Spectre, we've captured a Russian soldier outside a bar in Moscow. He has some valuable information you might want to know.
Spectre: Thank you.
David/Prophet: Let's let Spectre here handle the interrogation.
(The group leaves the room, leaving Spectre alone with the captive.)
Spectre: Now, where were we?
Russian Soldier: Bite me, you swine!
(Outside the warehouse, the group hears agonized screams from the captive.)
Alessandra/Outrider: Do you hear that?
David/Prophet: Yeah, looks like Spectre is doing a good job.
Alessandra/Outrider: Let's see if this fool will spill his guts.
(Inside, the Russian soldier is crawling away as Julian reveals himself.)
Russian Soldier: You have to believe me, boy.
Julian: Where is Makarov going to strike first?
Russian Soldier: I told you, I don't know!
Julian: You don't know...
(Julian pulls out an audio log from the soldier's vest.)
Makarov (audio): Our enemies have already defused the bomb.
Andrei (audio): What do we do now, Makarov?
Makarov (audio): It's time to launch an attack at the airport... Andrei, I am going to-
(The audio cuts off as the Russian tries to escape.)
Julian: Do you think you can scare me or lie to me?
(He slams the soldier against the shelf.)
Russian Soldier: I cannot say.
Julian: What is Makarov planning in Boston? Tell me!
Russian Soldier: I don't know his plan!
Julian: I'll tell you what it is—destruction and massacre.
(Julian chokes the soldier.)
Russian Soldier: Makarov wants to frame an American FBI agent at the airport, just like he did the first time.
Julian: Think carefully about what you say to me. Think!
Russian Soldier: Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. Makarov will never surrender. You should walk away.
Julian: Some things you can't walk away from.
Russian Soldier: Please, PLEASE!
(Julian recalls the memory of his father's death.)
Julian: What is Makarov going to do?
Russian Soldier: He's planning a genocide at Boston's airport. That's all I know!
Julian: What else?
(He pulls the trigger, but the gun is empty.)
Russian Soldier: Yikes!
Julian: How's your memory now?
(As Julian walks away, the Russian soldier grabs a bat and charges at him. Julian quickly knocks him out with a baton and puts his mask back on.)
Spectre: Since you won't tell me anything, I'll find the intel in your device myself.
(Julian accesses a device, and Makarov's voice is heard.)
Makarov (audio): Comrades, our time has come to strike fear into our enemies. First, chaos at Boston's airport. A genocide to cripple their spirit.
Andrei (audio): Makarov, are we sure about this? The Americans will retaliate fiercely.
Makarov (audio): Retaliation is expected, Andrei. It's part of the plan. While they reel, we will strike Argentina with unparalleled destruction. Their infrastructure will collapse, sending shockwaves across South America.
Sergei (audio): And what of Rome, Makarov?
Makarov (audio): Rome will burn as a testament to our power. The world must see that no place is safe from our reach.
Andrei (audio): But the innocent lives, Makarov...
Makarov (audio): Sacrifices must be made for the greater good, Andrei. Our enemies must learn that their actions have consequences. Stay focused. The world will soon witness our might.
Sergei (audio): Understood, Makarov. We will not fail.
Makarov (audio): Good. Prepare the men. We strike at dawn.
