==Plot==
The mission starts with a joint task force of the officially reorganized Task Force 141 and Delta Force operatives in an elevator. As it starts its descent, Price takes out a guard inside the lift and the joint force prepare for an engagement. The elevator reaches a lower floor, and the team open fire upon a group of hostiles patrolling the tunnel ahead. However, a Russian RPG-7 hits the elevator, sending it plummeting downwards, killing Sergeant McCoy in the process. The lift crashes into the bottom of the mine, and the team gathers themselves as Russians emerge to engage them. After putting on night vision goggles, the team climbed out of the elevator, pushing forward. Soon after, they reach a fork in the path, and Grinch and Truck take the left while Sandman, Price, and Yuri take the right. Following the paths, both groups end up in a large room, where they face numerous hostiles. After eliminating them, they push forward through two more tunnels and reach a sturdy metal door. Truck steps forward and uses a buzz saw to cut off the door's lock. The team breach the room behind, and clear it of several Russians.
Exiting the room, the team clears out more of the mine, before climbing a staircase and reaching level three of the mine. The team approaches a door that leads to the mine's exterior, and Sandman requests air support. Overlord gives the team control of a predator drone. Price and Sandman kick open the doors and shoot guards looking over the balcony as a battle for air supremacy is fought by American and Russian aircraft. The team vaults the railings and slides down into the construction yard as two little birds drop off friendly reinforcements. After joining the reinforcements, the rescue team fights their way through the construction yard, with Yuri manning the predator drone in a supporting role. As the team nears the entrance to the mine, the predator is shot down, and they are left in the construction yard without a way of accessing the mine.
Overlord responds by calling an air strike on the mine's entrance. Team Metal storms into the mine and finds only wounded hostiles. They breach a door at the end of a corridor but the room is empty apart from Alena Vorshevsky tied to a chair. Price unties her and lays her on a table. Alena whispers that her father is being taken deeper into the mine. The team quickly rushes out a door and sees the Russian President being escorted by enemy soldiers. Behind him, a large group of enemies are firing from a bridge. The team eliminate the hostiles on the catwalk and prepares for rappelling. They rappel off the railing and touch down in the very bottom of the mine. They spot the President being taken inside a bunker with heavy blast doors, and the team is forced to clear out the surrounding areas of enemies. Seeing that the blast door is too thick for them to breach, the task force heads upstairs and lays belts of C4 on the bunker's ceiling. The task force breaches the roof and kills the hostiles before they can execute the President. When the President worriedly asks about his daughter, Price tells him "She's alright. She's alive."
As the team leaves the bunker with the President in tow, explosions shake the mine, and Sandman calls for an air evacuation via helicopter. The joint task force take their positions amongst the rubble as they are ruthlessly assaulted by Ultranationalists. Eventually, a Black Hawk and a Little Bird arrive. The team takes the President to the Black Hawk as the Little Bird is knocked out by an RPG. Soon, Yuri is hit by the Little Bird's crash landing and lies stunned on the floor. As he comes to, Grinch helps the President onto the Black Hawk. Truck helps Yuri by dragging him to the helicopter. While moving backwards, Sandman and Price are firing back at the hostiles as Sandman tells him to go, but Price says: "Don't even think about it, Mate! We're in this together!" Another RPG nearly hits them, as Sandman says to Truck that he needs to cover the right side. Price then says to Sandman: "You better be right behind me!" Then he hands Yuri his M4A1 and helps him while Truck covers the right side after he drags him. As soon as Yuri locks up the M4, everything goes in slow motion.
As Yuri fires at the hostiles, Grinch rolls over to dodge an explosion. Sandman tosses Truck a magazine and he reloads and resumes firing. Grinch drops his empty MK14 and pulls out dual Desert Eagle pistols and fires them in different directions. An RPG round nearly hits Sandman as he continues to fire. A hostile runs towards Sandman, who takes out his knife and stabs him, and then throws it at another incoming hostile. He is then wounded on his right arm. He draws out his Desert Eagle pistol with his free left hand and resumes firing. Price gets Yuri into the chopper, with President Vorshevsky helping him up, then gets in himself. Before Team Metal can get on board, the Blackhawk is forced to take off, to dodge RPG fire from the ground below. Sandman, realizing that there is no hope for his team, tells the extraction team to leave them behind, despite Price's protests to the chopper pilot to return to save Team Metal. The pilot tells them if they go back, they all die. The helicopter pulls out of the hole just as the mine starts to crumble, sealing Team Metal's fate. The mission ends with Price desperately trying to contact Sandman but to no success, and a US News Caster's report about President Vorshevsky returning to Moscow, Russia, "peace talks between Russia and the US" finally begins, and that "the Ultranationalist leader, Vladimir Makarov, is still at large".

==Trivia ==
* There is a typo at the end, where Vladimir Makarov is written as "Vladamir Makarov".
*Right next to Alena Vorshevsky lies a Desert Eagle that cannot be picked up.
**This is the Call of Duty 4 model of a Desert Eagle.
**Also, next to the Desert Eagle is the unique knife, used only by Sandman and John Price.
*In the cutscene before the mission starts, the Delta Force logo is shown next to the SAS one, instead of the Task Force 141 symbol, who are actually taking part in the mission.
*When Truck is helping the player, he says "Hang in there, I got you!" but in the subtitles it's mistakenly written as "Hang on, I got you!"
*Grinch's MK14 will have all available attachments in both singleplayer and multiplayer after he drops it to the ground.
*An unused voice file has Price yelling "Westbrook!" and "Frost!" which implies that Derek "Frost" Westbrook was originally planned to be in this level.
*The mission's title is a reference to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" where the main character falls through a rabbit hole.
*The coordinates displayed on the bottom right screen when using the AGM are actually the coordinates for Wall Street, New York.
*When Odin 6 destroys the doors for the squad to go through, the missiles will down Angel One, a friendly Little Bird which was providing them close air support.
**There may be multiple "Angel One" helos present during the level, though this could be explained as Angel One referring to the unit and one of the unit's helos (perhaps Angel 1-1 or 1-2, etc.) was downed by the missile strike.
*The in-game radio chatter confuses Viper 4-1 and Viper 6-1 (which are unarmed MH-6 Little Birds) with armed AH-6 Little Bird gunships making gun runs for the team.
*In the pre-mission cutscene, a map appears to show that the mine is somewhere in central Krasnoyarsk Krai, probably in the Evenkiysky District.
*The two enemies in the elevator at the very start of the level have an AK-47 and G36C with all attachments. As with all weapons of this nature, they are unobtainable.
*If President Vorshevsky is shot, his name will turn red, like any other named enemies.
*If the player attempts to approach the president when he is escorted by the Ultranationalists, the player will get stunned by explosive bullets, and eventually get killed by the slow recovery.
*Vulture 6-1, the Little Bird helicopter that escorts the Black Hawk down into the mine, only has one nose mounted minigun. This helicopter model is the same as the one seen in the Spec Ops mission Hit and Run.
*The Blackhawk that arrives in the mine for exfil, Hammer 1-6, also has a single nose mounted minigun .
*When seen from afar, President Vorshevsky is armed with an AK47 and walks like a regular soldier rather than a hostage but it's extremely hard to notice.
**In addition when going down the mine, if the player is fast enough, they can kill the President without any penalties.
