- "You know what? I don't give a f**k what Starkweather wants. Maybe today I kill you, maybe not. Kill the camera."
- - Cerberus operative
Border Patrol is the 18th scene in Manhunt where James Earl Cash first arrives at Starkweather’s Estate and finally battles against the Cerberus, his most dangerous enemies yet.
Mission[]
The Journalist in the opening cutscene
The Journalist, along with a mobile news team and a news helicopter are outside the mansion, but Lionel Starkweather refuses to comment of her allegations about him. Not much time later, Cash is dropped off at the garage by the Cerberus, where they threaten to kill him against Starkweather's orders, when the now-free Piggsy, armed with a Chainsaw, is seen outside so they go to investigate (and meet their fates), leaving Cash locked inside.
Cash soon gets out by hitting the switch near the door and kills many Cerberus as he makes his way to Starkweather's Estate where more heavily armed Cerberus with Shotguns + Light, Heavy Handguns, Assault Rifles, are sent out after him, and some stand on the large balconies with Sniper Rifles in an attempt to kill the death row inmate from above.
After killing all the Cerberus in a fierce battle, Cash enters the mansion via the basement door at the side of the estate.

Trivia[]
- A save point hit can be found in the middle of the garden maze.
A dead Cerberus by Piggsy
- Several Cerberus soldiers killed by Piggsy can be found at the beginning of the level. The deranged antagonist himself is nowhere to be found.
- Three corpses of the beta Cash can be spotted hanging on the cross-like bushes near the garden maze.
- Eight beta Cash heads can be seen on spikes at various areas of the scene, including where the Cerberus with Sniper Rifles are positioned.
- Strangely, Piggsy is seen with a yellow Chainsaw instead of the red one he uses in Deliverance.
- One of the Hunter Cerberus will die instantly at the start of the level, due to the opening cutscene of Piggsy killing that mercenary.
- As Cash enters the main area of the Estate's exterior, the player will hear an Assault Rifle shootout, which is often presumed by fans that this is the Cerberus spotting Piggsy off-screen. If you quickly go to where the Cerberus with the Assault Rifles was, you'll find one standing beside a dead Cerberus member.
- There is no fixed place for Painkillers in this scene; they may spawn by killing a Cerberus when Cash's health is low.
- This scene doesn't have a fixed number of Hunters. A total of 3 Cerberus with Heavy Handguns spawn after a certain amount of time and the only way to stop them from spawning is by killing the two Cerberus with Sniper Rifles. During normal gameplay without cheats or mods, a player should encounter 31 Cerberus in this scene.
- The Spotted/Combat theme of the level's background music is known for the instruments producing a growl-like sound. This is likely a reference to the Cerberus' name based on the three-headed dog of the same name from Greek mythology
