==Plot==
After the US signs a check of a million dollars for Noriega, he assigns dozens of his men to infiltrate a cartel village in Nicaragua. Mason, Hudson, Woods, Manuel Noriega and his men are waiting on a cliff near where Raul Menendez is. Noriega gives an order under Mason's command. Control then shifts to Menendez, who is sitting besides his sister Josefina who is sleeping. A knock on the door prompts Menendez to open it, where a cartel soldier is shot and Panamanian soldiers rush in and restrain Menendez.
The officer grabs Josefina and begins to assault and taunt her, at one point slamming her into her vanity, breaking a glass object. Menendez then goes mad with rage, escapes the soldiers holding him, and stabs the offending officer with a shard of glass multiple times in the neck, killing him. Menendez is then subdued by the soldiers and given a sedative, causing him to lose consciousness. When he wakes up, two soldiers and Noriega are looking at him. Noriega cocks a SPAS-12 but shoots his own troops instead of Menendez. He then unties Menendez, saying he should be in American hands right now.
Noriega releases him calling it a favor. Still enraged, Menendez then assaults him by grabbing his neck, pinning him to the floor, punching him in the face a couple times and spitting on him. He picks up his SPAS-12 and just as he was about to finish him off with the shotgun, he hears the screams of his sister, Josefina, from a distance, and so he rampages through the village to find and save her. The player has invincibility, increased movement speed, a super fast reload for certain weapons, infinite ammo for any weapon and deals more damage to enemies during this sequence, courtesy of Menendez's sheer rage. When Menendez reaches the building where Josefina is, Woods sees him and tries to fire at him, but misses. Hudson then pins Menendez against the wall. As he does this, Menendez sees a grenade bounce off a wall and into Josefina's room. He pushes Hudson away before going after the grenade in an attempt to save his sister but fails as the grenade goes off. The explosion killed Josefina.
Control then shifts back to Mason, as the player fights through the town to cover Menendez's capture. Halfway through the mission, the three will see Menendez and realize that Noriega betrayed them. Woods will become enraged, and focus relentlessly on killing Menendez for what he had done to him in Angola, ignoring the mission for his vengeance. After clearing out the courtyard they will come across a cocaine lab. When Mason enters it, Hudson will tell him to keep an eye on Woods.
After clearing out the lab, Mason and Woods enter Menendez' mansion and see Menendez struggling with Hudson. Woods will lose control and start firing his Galil at Menendez, but Mason pushes him against the wall, preventing the gunfire from hitting. Woods then headbutts Mason away from him and tries to throw a frag grenade at Menendez, but Mason tries to reach for his hand and causes it to bounce off a wall and into Josefina's room, killing her. The mission ends with Mason waking up in the destroyed building, and seeing Menendez in a body bag, believed to be dead. Hudson will then tell Mason and Woods that "today never happened", and the mission is ended.
===Choices===
In the cocaine bunker section of the level, Mason encounters soldiers attempting to burn down Menendez's compound. Woods yells at Mason to secure any evidence. If Mason acts quickly to stop them he can find a file that links Menendez to the CIA. If he fails then the document will be lost. This does not affect the ending, but does affect later dialogue in the mission, Suffer With Me.
==Outcomes==
-Compound throughly searched 
-learned about potential mole in CIA
-Menendez's compound search incomplete
-dozens of cartel members are either killed or arrested
