Alejandro: What's this?

Graves: This is the immediate future. Step away from the gate.

Soap: What?

Graves: You heard me.

Alejandro: You're crazy, this is my base.

Graves: It's not a base. This is a sizable covert facility and I admire it- So, I'm taking it. You boys have been relieved. Thank you for your service.

Alejandro: No, no, no, I don't take orders from you.

Graves: Didn't Valeria say that? Now, that makes me wonder what else I don't know about your affiliation with a drug lord?

Alejandro steps forward threateningly.

Alejandro: What the fuck did you just say to me, pendejo...

Soap walks up to Alejandro and stops him.

Soap: You're out of line, Graves.

Graves points his finger at Soap.

Graves: Don't do that. Don't... do that. No one needs to get hurt here.

Ghost: Are you threatening us?

Graves: Soldier, I don't make threats. I make guarantees. So, let's not do this.

Soap: I'm calling Shepherd.

Soap starts to walk away.

Graves: General Shepherd sends his regards.

Soap stops walking suddenly.

Graves: He told me y'all wouldn't take this well.

Ghost: He knows about this?

Graves: He's put me in command of this operation from here on out. So, y'all need to stand down. It's time to let the pros finish this.

Soap and Ghost glance sideways at each other.

Graves: And why the hell are we talking like this is some kind of a negotiation? It's not. I've got my orders and now you have yours.

Alejandro: And who the fuck do you think you are, cabron? My men are inside!

Graves: I'm afraid not. Your men have been... detained.

Alejandro glares at Graves for a second but then launches himself at him.

Alejandro: Cabron!

Graves and one of his men push Alejandro against a vehicle and restrain him with a zip tie.

Soap: Graves, what the fuck?!
