— Mission description

"Time and Fate" is the fourth mission in the Call of Duty: Black Ops II single-player campaign and the third 80's mission. In this mission, the player controls Alex Mason as he joins Hudson and the Panamanian Defense Forces in a raid of Menendez's mansion. In the earlier part of the mission, the player also controls Raul Menendez at the time of the raid and as he attempts to save his sister, Josefina.

Frank Woods

Plot

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, picks up his SPAS-12 and rampages through the village to find and save Josefina. The player has an extreme amount of health, increased movement speed, a very fast reload, and infinite ammo for any weapon during this sequence, courtesy of Menendez's sheer rage. When Menendez reaches the building where Josefina is, Woods sees him and fires at him, but misses. As Menendez struggles with Hudson, he then sees a grenade bounce off a wall and into Josefina's room. Menendez goes after the grenade in an attempt to stop it but fails, as the grenade explodes, killing 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 pushes Mason away from him and tries to throw a frag grenade at Menendez, but Mason knocks his hand, causing the grenade to bounce around the hallway and into the room with Josefina. 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.

Halfway through the mission, Woods will lose control and focus relentlessly on killing Menendez, similar to Mason's obsession in Black Ops with killing Dragovich, Kravchenko and Steiner (Although Mason was brainwashed). When the player reaches a ladder leading into a cocaine laboratory, Hudson will tell Mason to keep an eye on Woods.

Woods then pushes Mason away from him and tries to throw a frag grenade at Menendez, but Mason knocks his hand, causing it to kill Josefina. The mission ends with Mason waking up in the destroyed building, and seeing Menendez apparently dead in a body bag, although this obviously isn't true as Menendez is present in the 2025 section of the campaign. Hudson will then tell Mason and Woods that today never happened,  and the mission is ended.
