This prompts Reznov, Mason and Sergei to run behind a coal truck and use it as moving cover as they push it along the track towards the tower. The prisoners then push open a large metal door which opens up into a coal truck yard, to complete step two of the escape, which has a guard tower with a machine gun turret overlooking it. The player can now pick up a Makarov to help him fight off any resistance. Sergei exits the lift armed with an pick axe, and brutally kills the guard. Outside the lift, there are some unarmed prisoners surrounding a prison guard armed with a Makarov (with his back to the lift), who is shooting them as they try to take him down.
Reznov sticks up for him, stating he could trust him with his life. In the lift, a prisoner questions whether Mason, an American, can be trusted or not. Fortunately, Sergei is on their side, which Mason comments "Glad you're a friend, Sergei." At the end of the tunnel there is a lift which takes the band of prisoners out of the mine. Mason fights his way down the tunnel where he encounters a brute named Sergei. (Rally the prisoners with the broadcast system in Vorkuta). (Use the slingshot to destroy the guard towers). (Take the elevator to get to the surface). Reznov encourages the band of prisoners by asking what the steps to their escape are. The band of prisoners proceed down a mine tunnel, and Mason is now armed with a unique prison knife.
He then helps Reznov up, and Reznov takes keys off the guard also taking a knife, completing Step One of their escape - "Secure the keys". Mason gets up, picks up a rock and knocks the guard out with a single blow from the rock.
After Reznov calls him svoloch (bastard), the guard starts to beat him with the baton. They succeed in doing so, and a guard armed with a baton comes up to the two. This is a cutscene, so the player does not need to do anything here. Walkthrough Mason starts off in a fight with Viktor Reznov to draw out a guard. Mason is left behind, much to Woods' dismay even though he still assures them to go on without him. Mason fires the gun at the barricade, destroying the blockade and allowing the plane to take off and escape. Mason quickly decides to jump off the plane as it begins to speed up, and mans a nearby anti-aircraft gun. Then, Woods and the pilots notice a large column of vehicles set up by the Cuban Army at the very end of the runway, knowing that they'll be destroyed before making it out as the convoy begins to fire at the plane head on. Mason leans out the back door as he uses an M60 machine gun to fend off the enemy forces as the plane is taxiing to the runway. The team arrive at the plane and signal the pilots to go. As the Cuban military is still busy dealing with the Bay of Pigs invasion, the team runs down the cliff while secured with ropes and make a break across the airfield for the hangar where the plane and the Cuban exile forces are waiting and ready to go. The squad arrives at a cliff edge overlooking the airfield. Carlos assures them to continue to the Cuban military airfield where a plane has been secured for a getaway and bids farewell. All of a sudden, Carlos and his men arrive and destroy the tank and drive off the enemy, much in favor of the team. The team then fights its way out of the building, through a courtyard, where they get pinned down by the sudden arrival of a Cuban military tank along with more enemy troops. Carlos takes out the team's weapons he hid in the counter and tosses Mason an M16 assault rifle. The team, including Mason, who pulls out an ASP pistol, eliminate the remaining enemy soldiers. Woods quickly grabs the officer and impales his hand to the bar table with a knife, then smashes him in the face with a glass bottle. An Officer notices the team and becomes suspicious, then threatens Mason when he does not respond to his questions. Woods tells Bowman and Mason to stay low as the soldiers scare off the civilians from the room. The meeting is interrupted with the sudden arrival of Cuban Army soldiers who enter the bar. He provides the team with intel and a map showing the planned method of attack and an extraction point at a Cuban military airfield. The mission begins in a bar in the city of Santa Maria, with Woods, Mason, and Bowman wearing loose tropical civilian clothing as to not attract attention, meeting with their informant Carlos. Mason then has a flashback leading to the start of the operation to assassinate Castro. Mason is electrically shocked multiple of times, failing to give satisfactory answers to the questions. A cutscene plays showing an unknown interrogator who is asking Mason numerous questions.
