Overview
The level begins with Roach and another soldier together in a car in the streets of Rio de Janero. They tail a white van that makes a stop in front of a hotel. An associate of Rojas named Faust is approached by two local Gunmen from the van while he is being watched by Soap, Roach, and other TF 141 members. Faust whips out a Desert Eagle from a concealed location and kills the two gunmen at point-blank range, a third that appears from the other side of the van, then, taking notice of the TF 141 troops, opens fire on them. Roach's driver is killed, while Roach quickly dives under the dashboard. Once the gunfire ceases, Soap runs ahead, followed by Roach, Meat, and Royce.

The squad chases him down the street and into an alleyway, where Soap instructs Roach to shoot him in the leg, after which the screen fades to black. Shortly after, the screen fades back in again to show the captured Faust being prepared for interrogation. MacTavish instructs them all to move on and capture Rojas. The squad ends up in a residential area, where the player must distinguish between civilians and hostile militia. The area acts as a very large maze, with militiamen hiding in every nook and cranny, some even climbing on top of the low roofs and running across makeshift bridges. At one point Roach encounters a machinegun nest that pins him down in an alleyway; the default weapon has an M203 attachment, allowing Roach to quickly take out the machinegun and advance to Rojas' stronghold.

The stronghold is a large multi-story building guarded by several militiamen on the roof. Rojas is visible at this point, with a large "capture" icon above his head. If Roach shoots even to wound him, it is a game over. Roach must pursue Rojas to the end of the level, where he runs into a building and holes himself up. Just when the other TF 141 members think he has gotten away, Soap dives out of a window, taking Rojas with him, and the two land on top of a car. Soap holds his pistol on Rojas and reports that the target has been captured.
