==Cinematic Cutscene==
Dixon gathers the men in his squad together.
Dixon: Alright! On me, form up! Alright, good work.
Guzzo hands Dixon the radio receiver.
Guzzo: Dixon. Battalion, on the radio.
Dixon: Dixon... okay. I'll tell them. Yes, thank you, sir.
Dixon hands the receiver back to Guzzo.
Dixon: I've got some good news and bad news for ya, boys. The Canadians've taken the Laison River. The Poles have moved into Vimoutiers to the north. Bottom line, Jerry's boxed in pretty good. We've got 'em falling back towards Chambois.
Guzzo: So, what's the bad news?
Dixon: Chambois... is where we're going next.
The soldiers scoff in disgust.

Maquis Safehouse
Near Les Ormes, France
The scene cuts to a Maquis secret base where Sgt. Doyle, Cpl. Keith, Pierre LaRoche, Isabelle DuFontaine, and Marcel are planning their mission to rescue Major Gerald Ingram.
LaRoche: It's suicide. We don't have the manpower.
Duncan: With backbone like that, it's hard to believe yer country ever surrendered.
Isabelle: It's not a question of backbone. In all likelihood, your Major Ingram is dead.
Duncan: Forget likelihood. If there's a snowball's chance'n hell he's alive, I'm getting him out.
LaRoche: There isn't and you'll be killed too.
Duncan: Not just me, Frenchie. Doyle's comin' with me. Let's go, Doyle. We're doin' this, even if we havet'a do it alone.
LaRoche makes a remark in French.
Duncan: I don't know what you're saying.

Doyle and Keith ride down the road in their jeep alone until the Maquis ride alongside them.
LaRoche: Keith!
Keith: Finally grew a backbone, did ya?
LaRoche: Like it or not, we can't afford to add you and Doyle to our losses.
Keith: Nice to know you still care, Frenchie.
The SAS and Maquis drive up to a village just in time to stop the Germans from executing French citizens. A firefight ensues in which Doyle helps his team shoot the German soldiers.
LaRoche: For certain, the Bosch now know we're here!
Keith: Then we better find Ingram right away! Take the wheel, Doyle!
Doyle takes control of the steering wheel while Keith mans the jeep's machine gun and Marcel rides shotgun.
Keith: Go! Go! Go!
Doyle drives the jeep away from the village and down the road towards the next one in search of Major Ingram. The SAS and the Maquis arrive at a large house down the road.
Isabelle: Your man might be inside that house.
LaRoche: Take Marcel. We'll stand watch here.
Doyle, Keith, and Marcel approach the house and engage the German soldiers before moving inside the house. They sweep the entire house from top to bottom, but fail to find Ingram.
Keith: Damn. He's not here. They might be keepin' him in that cellar.
Doyle leads Keith and Marcel to the wine cellar in the adjacent building, shooting any German soldiers that stand in their way. Eventually, they reach the door leading into the room where Ingram is being interrogated.
Ingram: Gerald... Tiberius... Ingram... Major... serial number 4587...
Keith: Ye hear that? Stand back.
Keith and Marcel stand on opposite sides of the door as Doyle kicks it in to find Ingram tied to a chair in the room. Keith shoots the lone German soldier guarding Ingram.
Ingram: Good timing, Corporal.
Keith frees Ingram from the chair.
Keith: Let's get ye out of here. For sure, the Bosch heard that racket.
Marcel opens another door and throws a grenade before closing the door again. The grenade goes off, blowing the door open.
Ingram: Speaking of racket.
Keith: Doyle, follow the Frenchie.
Marcel moves up ahead of Doyle and takes out a German soldier, tossing him down the staircase. Keith helps Ingram to his feet.
Keith: The Frenchie's clearing the way, c'mon!
Ingram: I'm not the only one Jerry's been holding.
Keith: I'm a way ahead of ya, we saved a bunch of Maquis from a firin' squad on the way here.
Ingram: The Jerry interrogating me bragged about torturing three, nothing about a firing squad.
Doyle, Keith, and Ingram follow Marcel out the house where they rejoin the rest of the Maquis. LaRoche greets Ingram wholeheartedly.
LaRoche: Major!
Ingram: Reunions can wait, Pierre.
Keith: Three more 'a yer men're gettin' tortured as we speak.
Ingram: Best if we split up. Good hunting.
Keith: Doyle, take the wheel.
Doyle, Keith, and Marcel enter the jeep. Doyle drives down the road until they reach their next destination at another house. Doyle and his team engage the German soldiers outside the house before moving inside. After killing more Germans, Doyle finds the first Maquis fighter and rescues him.
Maquis Fighter: Thanks for the rescue.
Keith: Let's go. Other houses to check.
Doyle, Keith, and Marcel return to the jeep and drive off to the next objective. They arrive at the village and clear out a garage full of enemy soldiers before rescuing the second Maquis fighter.
Maquis Fighter: Thanks for the rescue.
Keith: Let's move on to the next house.
Doyle, Keith, and Marcel regroup at the jeep and drive off to find the final Maquis fighter. They reach another house and dispatch the German soldiers in the area, allowing them to rescue the final Maquis soldier.
Maquis Fighter: Thanks. Au revoir. [Good bye.]
Doyle escapes the burning house.
Keith: Keep away from the flames, Doyle!
Doyle, Keith, and Marcel return to the jeep once more.
Keith: We sprung 'em all, Doyle. Alright. Let's get back to the courtyard.
Doyle drives the jeep down the road until they return to the village courtyard. Major Ingram and the other Maquis fighters are engaged in a firefight with German soldiers.
Ingram: What took you lads so long?
A massive German counterattack ensues, forcing Doyle to help his team hold them off. A German armored car appears on the field and opens fire on the SAS and Maquis.
Ingram: Here's the situation: we need to flank that beast, to the left or right. Doyle, take point. Isabelle will follow and plant charges on the tank.
The player can choose to flank left or flank right. Either way, Doyle provides cover for Isabelle until she reaches the tank.
Ingram: Well done! Now get out of there!
Isabelle: Okay. Let's go!
Isabelle runs, but gets caught in the tank's explosion and is sent flying to the ground.
LaRoche: Isabelle! Non!
Doyle continues to help repel the German counterattack until an artillery barrage strikes the area, killing all the German soldiers or forcing them to retreat.
