It starts off when Sangovik (the Old Man) was a Sgt. and Hanvonov was a private during the Vietnam. They are sent to oversee the assault on Khe Sahn, and they fight off American troops. During the battle, Hanvonov's two brothers are killed when a missile from Alex Mason kills them. Hanvonov attempts to charge at the Americans, but Sangovik saves him and drags him away. Sangovik says this was the beginning of Hanvonov's hatred of the west.

It flashes forward to the Lebanon War. Sangovik is a Lt. and Hanvonov a Sgt. They attack an American held marketplace, and later attack a bombed out castle. They find several Americans wounded, but Hanvonov begins executing them. Sangovik holds him back, telling him to stop. Hanvonov gives him an angry look, but backs off. Sangovik says Hanvonov's ferocity won him a promotion, and his own team. It flashes forward to 1984, with Sangovik a Major. They are sent to America on a mission to disrupt American silos. They infiltrate the base, and disable the missiles. They get out and attack a base, and Hanvonov begins executing Americans again.

Sangovik says he will not allow him to kill Americans because he's in charge, but two operatives grab him around the arms and pins him down. Hanvonov says all Westerners deserve to die, and Sangovik won't get in his way. He shoots him in the chest, and drag him toward the silos, leaving him to get captured by the Americans. Hanvonov exclaims he escaped on the helicopter there, and got a ride back to the USSR.

Back in the present day, Sangovik exclaims that Hanvonov will stop at nothing to destroy the West, and then tells him that Revere is waiting for him outside.
