The team's commanding officer, Major Vernon, betrayed them. Riley and his teammates were brought to a brainwashing facility and tortured for months. Riley fought against the brainwashing. Roba had Vernon killed for his failure and later buried Riley alive in Vernon's coffin, leaving him to die. Using the jawbone from Vernon's rotted corpse, Riley was able to escape and made it back across the border to Texas. After four months, his injuries had healed but he still suffered from temper-management issues, which prevented him from returning to active duty. After meeting up with the other two former teammates from that mission, Kevin Sparks and Marcus Washington, he realized that Roba had broken and brainwashed them both. He attempted to kill Sparks but was forced to flee when Washington turned up unexpectedly. Fleeing, he returned home to find Washington had killed his mother, brother Tommy, sister-in-law Beth, and nephew Jacob. He killed Sparks and Washington before returning to Mexico to take down Roba once and for all. Riley ambushed Roba's right-hand man, Gilberto and tortured Roba's location out of him. Arriving at Roba's compound, he methodically eliminated Roba's guard patrols before assaulting the mansion itself and, after a prolonged gunfight, killing Roba.
