The Sins of the Father

"Man, you look like a clown in that outfit. Good thing you're up here cause you look nothing like a Russian"

- Sgt. Griggs

 is a campaign level of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, in which the main character must chase down the son of Zakhaev.

Plot
The mission starts with Soap, along with other SAS, Russian Loyalist and Marine forces. They take out a large group of guards at a checkpoint and then change into the enemies clothing and await Victor Zakhaev. When he arrives, the team take down the Ultranationalists but Victor makes his escape, leaving Soap and Griggs to chase him down.

He runs through the town where some of his allies are there to cover him as he runs off. He runs into a partially destroyed building and Soap's team gets support from an American Helicopter to take out enemies and track Victor through the building.

Once they wipe out all the enemies in the building, they corner Victor Zakhaev on the roof and attempt to restrain him, however he takes the opportunity to shoot himself. As the mission ends, Gaz tells Price of his disappointment, and that "His son was our only lead sir". Price however, correctly tells him Zakhaev will not let this go unanswered.

Tips

 * Take the opportunity when chasing Victor Zakhaev to kill two enemies by destroying a car to get the Xbox 360 Achievement; Roadkill.
 * If you loose track of Victor Zakhaev, you can use either the American Helicopter or your compass to guide you (he appears on your compass)

Enemy Intelligence

 * Laptop 24 is found near the beginning of the level, before you dress Russian. It is located in the restaurant where most of the enemies are, on the left, on a table. You will have to be quick getting it before you get changed.
