In January 1981, [[Central Intelligence Agency|CIA]] operatives Russell Adler ([[Bruce Thomas (actor)|Bruce Thomas]]), Alex Mason ([[Chris Payne Gilbert]]), and Frank Woods (Damon Victor Allen) are sent to [[Amsterdam]] to target Qasim Javadi (Farshad Farahat) and Arash Kadivar ([[Navid Negahban]]) for their roles in the [[Iran hostage crisis]]. With intelligence gained from interrogating Qasim, the team tracks Arash to Turkey, where the three witness him executing everyone in the vehicle he arrived in. Arash gloats that the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] spy [[Perseus (spy)|Perseus]] ([[William Salyers]])—who Adler believed to be dead—was the one responsible for organizing the hostage crisis before being executed. After being briefed of his threat by Adler and Jason Hudson ([[Piotr Michael]]), U.S. President [[Ronald Reagan]] ([[Jeff Bergman]]) authorizes a [[black operation]] team to neutralize Perseus.

With intelligence gained from interrogating Qasim, the trio tracks Arash to an airfield in Turkey, where they witness him executing everyone in the vehicle he arrived in. The team eliminates Arash's men and corners him; he gloats that the [[Soviet Union|Soviet]] spy [[Perseus (spy)|Perseus]] ([[William Salyers]])—who Adler believed to be dead—was the one responsible for organizing the hostage crisis before being executed. After being briefed of his threat by Adler and Jason Hudson ([[Piotr Michael]]), U.S. President [[Ronald Reagan]] ([[Jeff Bergman]]) authorizes a [[black operation]] team to neutralize Perseus.


Adler's team consists of MI6 intelligence officer Helen Park ([[Lily Cowles]]), CIA operative Lawrence Sims (Reggie Watkins), and [[Mossad]] operative Eleazar "Lazar" Azoulay ([[Damon Dayoub]]), with Mason and Woods providing tactical support. The final member of the team is an agent known only by the codename "Bell", who allegedly served with Adler and Sims in [[MACV-SOG]] during the [[Vietnam War]]. The team asks Bell to recall [[Fracture Jaw|Operation Fracture Jaw]] in 1968, where Adler believes he, Bell, and Sims first encountered Perseus. Afterwards, the team proceeds to East Berlin to apprehend/kill Anton Volkov ([[Rafael Petardi]]), a [[Russian mafia]] boss with ties to Perseus.

Enlisting the help of [[KGB]] [[double agent]] Dimitri Belikov ([[Mark Ivanir]]), Adler and Bell manage to enter the Lubyanka Building. The team learns that an Operation Greenlight scientist is one of the sleeper agents and has fled to Cuba, where the team follows. They learn that Perseus has managed to steal the detonation codes for every Operation Greenlight bomb, meaning he can devastate Europe and lay the blame on the United States. The team comes under heavy fire and Lazar and Park are injured, leaving Bell only enough time to save one of them.

After rescuing Bell, Adler continues to press them by provoking their memories of Vietnam once more. At this point, Bell's true identity is revealed as an agent of Perseus, having been shot by Arash in Turkey out of jealousy. Adler found Bell and brainwashed them using [[Project MKUltra]] into believing they were his comrade. With Bell's memory returned, Adler interrogates them on the location of Perseus' headquarters. Bell can either choose to betray Perseus and reveal his location, or lie to Adler. Should Bell choose the former option, they will join the CIA in their assault on Perseus' headquarters in the [[Solovetsky Islands]], where they destroy the transmitters needed to send the detonation signal. Later, Adler takes Bell out for a private conversation, assuring them that their choice to turn against Perseus was of their own free will and that they are a hero, before eliminating them as they are a loose end for the CIA. If the latter option is chosen, Bell tricks the group into going to the [[Duga radar|Duga radar array]], where they are assisted by Perseus in killing their former team before personally giving the order to detonate the Greenlight nukes.
