We see Price and Laswell sitting on a teahouse in Georgia after Barkov's death as they discuss recent events and new threats.

Laswell: Russia disowned Barkov.

Price: Well they didn't have much choice did they? He's dead.

Laswell: However, i've got good and bad news at the same time...

Price: What's first?

Laswell: Zakhaev and the Russian Ultranationalist wants Barkov's throne.

That surname sounded familiar to Price.

Price: I buried him in Prypiat with MacMillan.

Laswell: That was his father, Imran, i'm talking about his son, Victor Zakhaev, who is now the leader of them.

Laswell pulls a photo of Victor Zakhaev, provided by Kamarov.

Laswell: Courtesy of Kamarov, since he's my counterpart in the FSB now.

Price: Lovely family... Anyway, what are we gonna do?

Laswell: You wanted a task force after this, right?

Price: Hold on, you've got the files?

Laswell nods and takes out the files.

Laswell: Courtesy of General Shepherd. Who's our first team members?

Price checks the files one by one.

Price: Well, first of all, Sergeant Kyle "Gaz" Garrick.

Laswell nods

Price: Next we have these ones, Sergeant Johnny "Soap" MacTavish, his brother Sergeant Y/N "Viper" MacTavish and Viper's Girlfriend Master Sergeant Artoria "Arthur" Pendragon.

Laswell was surprised by Y/N and Artoria's relationship.

Laswell: Viper and Arthur are dating?

Price: For two years, they started dating in 2017.

Laswell: Love in the military... I guess they may have things in common.

Price smiles.

Price: Back to the topic... Next, Sergeant Gary "Roach" Sanderson, Corporal Griffen, Sergeant Wallcroft, Sergeant Marcus Burns...

She nods.

Price: And lastly, Lieutenant Simon "Ghost" Riley... That would be all for now, i guess...

She nods again and asks him a question as they share looks.

Laswell: What are you calling this Task Force, John?

Price: 1-4-1.

4 months later...

We see images of reformed AQ taking over Kastovia, watched by Price, Laswell, Kamarov and Nikolai.

Laswell: The country is under evacuation. Al Qatala's got complete control.

Nikolai: Shame, this place was nice once. East and West rebuilt Verdansk after the Cold War.

Laswell: AQ didn't like that cooperation. Now they've got armor. Heavy weapons.

Price: Who's at the helm of AQ? We already know about Victor!

Kamarov pulls out a picture and hands it to Price and Nikolai.

Nikolai: Nice hat! What's his name?

Kamarov: Khaled Al-Asad, he has an excellent relation with Ultranationalists and OpFor, in fact, he was part of the latter before. Also, Price...

Kamarov hands Price some cigarettes.

Kamarov: I owed you for Beirut...

Price smiles at him.
