Old Wounds/Transcript

Opening
''Section, Javier Salazar and Mike Harper are walking down the aisles of the Obama.

Section: I can't figure out Menendez without getting inside his fucking head.

Section turns to Salazar.

Section: Salazar, you grew up in Nicaragua during his rise to power. You know his legends better than anyone. Tell me, why does he hate us so much?

Salazar: (spanish) The First Cold War.

A cutscene plays, depicting Menendez's miserly life and how he turned to drug dealing.

Salazar: As a boy, he witnessed the Contras rape and murder his people... In 1972 there was a colossal earthquake. His family lost everything. A year later, the only thing he ever loved, his sister Josefina, was crippled in a fire. Raul and his father started over, sold drugs for easy money. They became rich, powerful legends of Managua. The Menendez cartel was all but untouchable. So the CIA took out Raul's father in a U.S. sanctioned assassin.

Section: Right, so now Menendez fucking hated America and starting running guns in Afghanistan for his own private army... CIA got wind of it and went on the hunt for him in Kabul. That was the photo Woods showed us in The Vault, remember?

The cutscene then switches to the Vault, where Woods is showing Section a picture of David Mason and him during their time in Afghanistan.

Woods: See that handsome bastard? That's me. The ugly one's your father. After 'Nam, the numbers and all that, he was one dangerous son of a bitch.
