== Cutscene ==
=== Bougainville 1943 ===
Wade and Mateo's plane flies through the skies over Bougainville in Papua New Guinea. Wade shoots down a Japanese Zero and watches it collide into the Pacific waters. Wade and Mateo come under immediate fire by two more Japanese Zeros.
Mateo Hernandez: We've got company!
Mateo aims and fires his tail machine gun at the pursuing Japanese planes. Suddenly, the machine gun jams.
Mateo Hernandez: Carajo! It's jammed!
Mateo draws out his M1911 pistol and fires on the Japanese plane. Wade straps on his oxygen mask.
Wade Jackson: Hang on back there!
Wade flies the plane into a fast nose-dive. The bullet casings from Mateo's machine gun fly out of the plane. Wade dives toward the water and pulls up in time to avoid a collision. He then leads his pursuers through a narrow canyon, twisting and turning through the terrain. Wade performs a sharp turn and narrowly misses just as one of the Japanese planes crashes into the canyon wall. Wade spots the second Japanese Zero attempting to fly away and chases after him.
Mateo Hernandez: No, no, no! Wade, you're crazy! Let 'em go!
Wade Jackson: I'm finishing what they started!
Wade chases after the Zero, only to be spotted by Imperial Japanese Army soldiers. The Japanese commander orders his troops to open fire on Wade. Their fire rips through Wade's plane as Wade tries to gain control of the aircraft.
Mateo Hernandez: Shit! We're hit!
Arthur Kingsley (voice): When Wade was airborne, he was the most dangerous thing in the skies. But if you fly to close to the sun... Eventually, your wings will get burned.
Wade's plane trails smoke and fire as it starts to collide with the jungle land below. Wade braces himself just as the plane crashes.
Cut to black.

SECURE BOUGAINVILLE ISLAND
NOVEMBER 1943
BOUGAINVILLE, PAPUA NEW GUINEA
LT. WADE JACKSON
Fade in to Wade Jackson's POV as he regains consciousness and looks around him in his crashed plane's cockpit. He looks down to see a piece of shrapnel embedded in his torso and sparks bursting from his dashboard. His vision fades in and out of black as he hears Mateo Hernandez's voice.
Mateo Hernandez: Wade!
Mateo appears over Wade, banging on the cockpit window.
Mateo Hernandez: Wade!
Mateo forcefully opens the cockpit window.
Mateo Hernandez: You stupid son of a bitch! You could've gotten us both-- Oh, shit.
Mateo notices the shrapnel wound in Wade's body and quickly regains his composure.
Mateo Hernandez: Alright. Okay. I'll get you out of here but it's gonna hurt like hell.
Mateo grabs Wade and hauls him out of the cockpit, causing Wade to scream in agony as his vision fades out again. Wade's vision fades in once more with Mateo kneeling over him just outside their plane.
Mateo Hernandez: When are you gonna get it through that thick skull of yours you can't just-- 
Mateo notices Wade begin to lose consciousness again.
Mateo Hernandez: Hey! Hey Wade! Wade, you stay with me! Wade, come on, man! No you're not-- wake up, wake up! Wade! (snaps fingers) Nah, nah, today's not the day, today's not the day. You wake up right now!
Wade slips back into unconsciousness. His vision fades in again as Mateo drags Wade away from the plane by a short distance. Wade grunts in pain.
Mateo Hernandez: I need to find out where we are, so I'm gonna have to leave you here.
Mateo prepares to yank out Wade's shrapnel wound.
Mateo Hernandez: Think about the Yankees.
Wade Jackson: What? You know I'm a Dodgers fa--
Mateo yanks out the shrapnel from Wade's torso, causing the latter to cry out in pain. Mateo puts both his hands on Wade's wound to apply pressure on the bleeding. Wade grabs Mateo's arm with his hand in tension.
Wade Jackson: Son of a bitch! Your bedside manner sucks!
Mateo Hernandez: You're welcome, pendejo.
Mateo removes his hands after the bleeding subsides.
Mateo Hernandez: I need your gun. Lost mine in the crash. The one you caused.
Mateo takes Wade's M1911 pistol from his clothes.
Wade Jackson: What am I supposed to do?
Mateo takes out a roll of bandages from his pocket and gives it to Wade.
Mateo Hernandez: Keep yourself bandaged up. I don't want you bleeding out and missing all the fun.
Mateo grabs a couple of palm tree branches and covers Wade to hide him out of sight.
Mateo Hernandez: Stay out of sight 'til I get back.
Mateo walks away as Wade's POV fades to black once again.
Some time later, Wade's POV fades in as he hears Japanese soldiers searching the plane crash site and shouting orders. Wade removes the tree branches and crawls away slowly to avoid detection, before he finally puts himself out of sight and stands up, reeling from his wound. Wade stealthily makes his way through the jungle to get away from the crash site and look for Mateo. Off in the distance, Mateo's screams can be heard as Japanese soldiers run off in that direction.
Wade Jackson: Mateo, I'm coming buddy.
Wade makes his way through the jungle until he comes across a lone Japanese soldier. Wade sneaks up and kills that soldier, before taking a Type 99 bolt-action rifle and disabling a tripwire mine in the way. He then continues through the jungle, avoiding or killing any Japanese patrols he encounters. If Wade fires his weapon, the sound will attract more Japanese soldiers to his location.
Eventually, Wade comes across an outpost with some dead soldiers. He enters the outpost and finds a working Japanese radio that he tries to operate.
Wade Jackson: Mayday mayday mayday. Any and all friendly units within range of this transmission. Lieutenant Wade Jackson, requesting immediate support--
Wade adjusts the frequency and settings on the radio.
Wade Jackson: Any Americans on this damn rock?
Wade shuts off the radio and slams his fist on the table in frustration.
Wade Jackson: Damnit...
Wade hears Japanese soldiers approaching the outpost and sneaks out before continuing on his way. He comes across a hidden hole in the ground that he can open if the player chooses. Eventually, Wade reaches a wide ravine with only a fallen log as a way to get across. Wade traverse across the log, causing the log to snap without breaking, but Wade makes it across safely. On the other side, Wade hears Mateo's voice and sees Japanese soldiers running off in the direction of Mateo.
Wade moves past the patrol and reaches the Japanese anti-air gun that shot him and Mateo down. Then, he another downed plane nestled in the trees. He climbs up the trees to the plane and finds a flare gun in the cockpit, before climbing up the fuselage and aiming the flare gun high up in the sky before firing a flare to signal for help. Wade slides down a tree vine to the ground and encounters Japanese soldiers who spot him before opening fire on him. 
Wade runs through the jungle to escape his pursuers and follow the sound of Mateo's voice.
Wade Jackson: Mateo? Mateo, I'm coming buddy.
Wade slides down a slope only to wind up on the ground and see Mateo struggling mightily with a Japanese soldier. Mateo stabs the soldier multiple times and tackles him to the ground while the soldier fires off his weapon. Wade and Mateo hear more Japanese soldiers nearby as Mateo spots Wade and goes over to his side.
Mateo Hernandez: Damnit, Wade! I said don't move!
Japanese soldiers come rushing out of the bushes and raise their weapons at Wade and Mateo.
Mateo Hernandez: Shit, they're everywhere! 
Mateo spots a Japanese soldier charging at him with a rifle.
Mateo Hernandez: Wait wait wait-!
The Japanese soldier bashes Mateo in the face with his rifle butt and another soldier kicks Wade in the face before Wade's vision blacks out.
Some time later, the sound of muffled voices can be heard as Wade's POV fades in to reveal a sack over his head. The sack is removed by a Japanese soldier, revealing a Japanese Army camp. Wade's hands are bound by rope as the soldier drags Wade backward a few feet. Mateo is also being hauled by another Japanese soldier to where Wade is and is forced to his knees. The first soldier smacks Wade in the face while the other one removes Mateo's sack from his head. The soldiers shout at Wade and Mateo in Japanese before a Japanese Army officer appears with a katana at his side. The soldiers snap to attention as the officer puts his hand on the katana's scabbard for a few moments before turning to the soldiers and nodding. The first soldier gets into Wade's face.
Japanese Soldier: (in English) Do you speak Japanese?
A gunshot rings out as a Japanese sniper is knocked off his perch along with his ladder. The other Japanese soldiers spring up in high alert as the officer barks orders at them. 
Mateo Hernandez: Que chingados...? 
More gunshots ring out as American soldiers from the 93rd Infantry Division attack the Japanese camp, killing all the Japanese soldiers in the area. One of the soldiers, Corporal Lewis Howard, carries an M2 flamethrower and burns the last of the Japanese soldiers down. Howard spots Wade and Mateo.
Lewis Howard: Booker, they're still alive.
Wade Jackson: Yeah, no shit.
Sergeant James "Booker" Washington walks up to Howard.
"Booker" Washington: Cut them free.
Howard nods and takes out his knife to cut Wade's and Mateo's bonds.
Mateo Hernandez: I'm Aviation Machinist Mate 3rd Class, Hernandez. The ungrateful one is Lieutenant Jackson. We got shot down.
"Booker" Washington: That's why we're here.
Mateo Hernandez: Thanks.
"Booker" Washington: Sergeant James Washington, Army, 93rd Infantry Division. Lenny, patch this man up.
Private Pernell Lenny moves to heal Wade.
Wade Jackson: You got any planes? We need to get back up there.
Lewis Howard: Planes? We lucky they gave us ammo. That one's dead weight. Just gonna slow us down. 
Washington rolls his eyes at Howard's suggestion. Wade stands up.
Wade Jackson: I'm right here. 
"Booker" Washington: You know how to use a gun?
Wade Jackson: Went through basic just like you.
Lenny grabs a Type 100 submachine gun to Washington while Lenny hands one over to Mateo.
Marvin Pelfrey: Sarge, we got company! 
The rest of Washington's men run off to fight the Japanese troops while Washington speaks to Wade.
"Booker" Washington: I got control of the stick now, Lieutenant. You're just along for the ride. 
Gunshots are heard in the distance. Washington gives Wade his weapon as runs to rejoin his men. Wade and Mateo follow.
"Booker" Washington: Alright, men. This isn't the Savoy. Let's get moving. Kibble, Hernandez. you're with me! 
Wade and Mateo assist Washington and his men in fighting the Japanese soldiers.
Lewis Howard: Out of the way! Releasing fire! 
Wade shoots down a Japanese soldier.
"Booker" Washington: Good shot, soldier!
Marvin Pelfrey: Hey! That's one in a row for you!
More Japanese soldiers arrive as Howard deploys his flamethrower.
Lewis Howard: Flamethrowers up!
"Booker" Washington: Keep pushing them back!
Eventually, the Americans kill the last of the Japanese soldiers.
Lewis Howard: Clear!
Marvin Pelfrey: Clear!
"Booker" Washington: All clear! You should change your name to the Galveston Giant, Kibble.
Wade Jackson: Who?
Lewis Howard: Come on... White boy don't even know who Heavyweight Champ Jack Johnson is!
Mateo Hernandez: I think I'm done with jungles. Forever.
"Booker" Washington: Alright, on me! Eyes up, people. Long way to go.
Wade and Mateo join Washington and his men as they trek through the jungle.
Lewis Howard: Better than loading trucks, that's for damn sure.
Wade Jackson: Hey. You guys said you were 93rd? Never heard of it.
Lewis Howard: Bet you ain't never met a Negro before neither! We ain't exactly in the credit-gettin' business.
Wade Jackson: Oh. A colored regiment.
Lewis Howard: Yep. You see any snakes or centipedes, let me know. We'll get the cookout ready. 
The Americans reach an open area with a bridge and some palm trees on the road.
"Booker" Washington: Hold up!
The Americans stop at the edge of a slope and scout out the area.
Lewis Howard: You see something?
"Booker" Washington: No, but when that sniper got Thompson it was on a bridge just like this.
Mateo Hernandez: So, how do we cross?
"Booker" Washington: We draw the snipers out. Pelfrey, your name's up.
Marvin Pelfrey: Hope there's grits in Heaven.
Pelfrey gets ready to draw out the snipers as the rest of the team gets into position.
Wade Jackson: Live bait?
"Booker" Washington: You volunteering?
Wade Jackson: Hell no.
"Booker" Washington: Then shut your mouth and keep those eagle eyes on the canopy.
Washington gets into position and turns to Pelfrey.
"Booker" Washington: Go!
Pelfrey and a soldier dash out into the open only for the latter to get shot down by a sniper. Pelfrey makes it to the next cover.
Mateo Hernandez: Jeez.
"Booker" Washington: Smoke! When I give the word, I want to see your best Jesse Owens.
Wade Jackson: Who?
"Booker" Washington: Means run fucking fast.
Pelfrey deploys a smoke grenade.
Marvin Pelfrey: Out!
The smoke grenade goes off, providing concealment for the Americans.
"Booker" Washington: Now!
The rest of the Americans dash out into the open until they successfully cross the bridge.
"Booker" Washington: That's far enough! Everyone alright?
Lewis Howard: Still got all my parts.
"Booker" Washington: Okay. We need to get to that treelike. Into the grass and stay low. Regroup under the trees if you make it to the other side.
Marvin Pelfrey: When you get by, meet at the trees.
Pelfrey readies himself.
Marvin Pelfrey: Going for it!
Pelfrey ducks out of cover and runs across the field. The rest of the Americans follow suit, taking care to avoid the sniper's shots.
Marvin Pelfrey: Get down in the grass!
(If Wade gets hit by a sniper or is out of cover for too long)
Lewis Howard: You crazy?; Are you nuts?
Marvin Pelfrey: Careful!
Eventually, the Americans reach the next set of cover and catch their breaths.
Marvin Pelfrey: Fuck, that was close!
"Booker" Washington: Keep in the dirt and hold your breath, might get by in one piece.
The American soldiers progress further through the field. 
Marvin Pelfrey: He's gotta be close. Check the tree tops.
Wade uses his focus ability to locate the Japanese sniper.
Wade Jackson: He's there, in that tree!
Marvin Pelfrey: There he is! Top of that tree! Light it up!
Wade shoots the sniper off his perch.
"Booker" Washington: Sniper down!
Marvin Pelfrey: We're all clear.
"Booker" Washington: Not bad, Lieutenant./We'll keep you around. Move out.
Mateo notices there attached to the dead sniper.
Mateo Hernandez: What the hell... Why the ropes?
Lewis Howard: These crazy motherfuckers strap themselves up in trees.
Mateo Hernandez: What are we doing out here anyway?
"Booker" Washington: Brass shipped in the 93rd to help the 23rd take this rock.
Lewis Howard: There's a Japanese base not far from here. It's protected by a hollowed out ridge.
"Booker" Washington: The rest of my boys are stuck behind a locked door. And we're the key.
Wade Jackson: The hell does that mean?
Mateo Hernandez: Wade, just shut up and do what he says!
A couple planes fly overhead in the distance.
"Booker" Washington: Clear out that ridge, move on that base.
Marvin Pelfrey: Hey, how are we gonna get into that ridge, Booker?
"Booker" Washington: Knock. Loudly.
Lewis Howard: Hey, how about we play these fools some Duke Ellington? Everybody loves the Cotton Club!
"Booker" Washington: You find me a trumpet, Lewis, and I'll take you up on that.
Suddenly, Japanese soldiers spring out of their holes in the grass and attack the American soldiers.
Marvin Pelfrey: Ambush!
"Booker" Washington: Get off the road!
Lenny is shot and killed by the Japanese attackers.
Lewis Howard: Lenny!
"Booker" Washington: Take those holes!
Wade and Mateo help their allies clear the area of their attackers. More Japanese soldiers appear in the area.
Marvin Pelfrey: Behind that rock!; Coming out of the grass!
"Booker" Washington: More coming!
The Japanese soldiers launch a banzai charge at the Americans.
"Booker" Washington: They're rushing us!
Marvin Pelfrey: Running low on ammo!
Mateo Hernandez: They just keep coming!
Eventually, Wade and Mateo help the Americans successfully defeat the attacking Japanese.
Lewis Howard: Clear!
Marvin Pelfrey: Clear!
"Booker" Washington: All clear!
The Americans leave the open fields and draw further into the jungle on their way to the enemy base.
Marvin Pelfrey: Man, fuck this place. Lenny should've gotten out.
"Booker" Washington: "Our obligations to our country never cease but with our lives."
Lewis Howard: That doesn't sound like Lenny.
"Booker" Washington: John Adams.
Lewis Howard: Well, someone give Lenny's gun to John Adams. We could use the help.
Mateo Hernandez: We'll do what we can.
Lewis Howard: Don't get us killed and that might be enough. I have a brother fighting in Europe. If Mama loses her boys to both Nazis and Japanese...Well, Hitler ain't got nothin' on Mama Howard.
The Americans exit the jungle and spot the ridge where the Japanese base is located.
Mateo Hernandez: That the ridge?
"Booker' Washington: That's the one.
Wade Jackson: Holy shit! You're kidding. Are you insane?
The Americans reach the edge of an open field leading to the ridge. The open field is dotted with anti-infantry and anti-tank obstacles. Washington signals his men to rally on him.
"Booker" Washington: Kibble, Pelfrey, Hernandez, you're with me.
Mateo Hernandez: Wilco.
"Booker" Washington: Howard, you're our dragon. Once we clear the wire, we'll be under heavy fire. I need you to turn up the heat on these bastards.
Lewis Howard: You got it, Sarge.
"Booker" Washington: Jackson, a word.
Wade joins Washington in private.
Wade Jackson: Yeah.
"Booker" Washington: You're gonna help Private Howard get through that wire. And then you're gonna keep him covered on the other side. Understood?
Wade Jackson: Look.. In the sky, I'm your man. But this... I'm not the "die facedown in the mud" type.
"Booker" Washington: Then you shouldn't have got yourself shot down. There's a difference between suicide and sacrifice. You'd do well to learn it.
The Americans crouch down and reach the barb wire. Dead bodies of American soldiers litter the area.
"Booker" Washington: Low and quiet, boys. Howard, Jackson, to the left. The rest of you, on me.
Wade and Howard reach the left side of the wire.
Lewis Howard: Jackson, give me a hand.
Wade lifts up the wire for Howard, who smirks at Wade.
Lewis Howard: About time you got your hands dirty.
Wade Jackson: After you.
Howard crawls down on the dirt beneath the barb wire with Wade following him. Just as they reach the other side, Howard gets stuck in the barb wire.
Lewis Howard: Shit. I need a hand, quick!
Wade grabs the wire that is snagged on Howard's flamethrower, allowing Howard to crawl out and Wade to follow after. Howard helps Wade stand up.
Lewis Howard: Not bad. For a flyboy.
Suddenly, a gunshot hits Howard in the chest from behind. Howard falls to the ground. Gunshots and explosions blanket the area around the Americans. Washington rushes over at this side, clearly upset.
"Booker" Washington: Damnit!
Washington checks Howard's body and shakes his head in sadness.
Wade Jackson: I can take that for you!
Washington looks at Wade quizzically.
Wade Jackson: I'm a fast learner!
Washington unstraps Howard's flamethrower and gives it to Wade.
"Booker" Washington: Be careful. Its a lot heavier than it looks. And a hell of a lot hotter.
Wade Jackson: Perfect for some payback.
"Booker" Washington: Alright then. Let's hit that pillbox!
Wade takes Howard's M2 flamethrower and helps his team assault the Japanese base.
"Booker" Washington: The pillbox! Jackson! Get that pillbox! We're on cover fire. Go! 
Wade enters the trench leading into the pillbox. 
"Booker" Washington: Use that torch on the box! Light 'em up, Jackson!
Wade deploys his flamethrower on the pillbox, incinerating the Japanese soldiers inside it.
"Booker" Washington: Not bad, Jackson.
The Americans push through the pillbox and spot the Japanese soldiers on the hill.
"Booker" Washington: Up the hill!
Wade, Mateo, and the Americans eliminate the Japanese soldiers on the hill leading up into the base.
"Booker" Washington: Let's go!
Wade keeps using the flamethrower on the Japanese soldiers to devastating effect.
Mateo Hernandez: Holy shit, that thing is insane.
The American soldiers reach the man entrance into the base. Some Japanese soldiers rush out of the entrance and attack the Americans.
"Booker" Washington: Watch the openings!
Mateo Hernandez: Wade, look out!
"Booker" Washington: Inside, go, go!
The Americans reach the first artillery cannon in the base.
"Booker" Washington: Pelfrey, take out that cannon!
Marvin Pelfrey: You got it, boss.
Pelfrey places an explosive charge inside the cannon. The cannon explodes and the Americans continue their assault inside the base. They reach a second artillery cannon.
"Booker" Washington: Another gun, Pelfrey!
Marvin Pelfrey: On it, Sarge!
Pelfrey plants another explosive charge inside the second cannon and, as with the first one, the cannon explodes. The Americans continue assaulting the base and shooting the Japanese defenders inside it until they reach the third and final cannon.
"Booker" Washington: Jackson, last cannon's all yours!
Wade reaches the third cannon and places a grenade inside the cannon. 
"Booker" Washington: Keep your distance. 
The cannon explodes.
"Booker" Washington: Damn this ridge.
Washington and his men reach the cannon opening that overlooks a hangar and runway.
"Booker" Washington: Pelfrey, shoot the flare. Let's seem 'em stop us now.
Pelfrey fires the flare up in the sky.
Wade Jackson: Are you fucking crazy? Why would you fire that here? You just gave the entire Japanese army our location! 
"Booker" Washington: The invite's not for them -- it's for the rest of my men. Right on schedule...
The rest of the 93rd Infantry Division arrives on the scene and begins their attack on the ridge.
"Booker" Washington: Lieutenant, come take a look at this.
(If Wade doesn't move at first)
"Booker" Washington: Now, soldier!
Washington hands his binoculars to Wade, who looks through them to spot M4 Sherman tanks appear out of the jungle.
"Booker" Washington: Here come our boys.
Wade Jackson: Can they finish the job?
"Booker" Washington: Check out the hangar. Near the radio tower.
(If Wade doesn't aim his binoculars left...)
"Booker" Washington: Left..
Wade aims the binoculars at the plane hangar near the radio tower and sees a Japanese D3A Type 99 plane inside it. Wade lowers the binoculars and turns to Washington.
Wade Jackson: A Val dive bomber. 
"Booker" Washington: You know anyone that can fly it?
Wade Jackson: This was your plan all along.
"Booker" Washington: My men can take the base, slow down the Japanese. But if we had someone in the air...wouldn't that be something.
Wade Jackson: (enthusiastically) I'm your man, Sergeant.
"Booker" Washington: I was hoping you would say that. Let's get down there.
Washington walks off to gather his men for their next task. Mateo walks up to Wade.
Mateo Hernandez: Do you even know how to land that thing?
Wade Jackson: When has that ever stopped me?
Mateo Hernandez: (chuckles) Pendejo. 
"Booker" Washington: Let's go! Regroup with the tanks!
Wade and Mateo join Washington and his men as they exit the base and make their way to the hangar, eliminating any Japanese soldiers they encounter . 
"Booker" Washington: Push down the hill! To the tanks! Clear 'em out!
The Americans cross the runway and use the tanks as cover to make it to the other side.
"Booker" Washington: Good to see you boys, make yourselves at home. Jackson, Hernandez, let's get you airborne! Everyone else, move up!
Wade and Mateo move up through the buildings to reach the hangar, assisted by Washington and his soldiers.
"Booker" Washington: The hangar's just ahead! The hangar! There's the hangar!
Wade and Mateo reach the Val dive bomber in the hangar.
"Booker" Washington: Get in that cockpit!
Mateo Hernandez: Yes! Show time, Wade!
Wade and Mateo climb into the cockpit. Washington hands an MG42 machine gun to Wade while he and his men prepare to push the plane out.
"Booker" Washington: We'll push you out of the hangar. Take this. Cover us while we get you in position.
Wade Jackson: Find us some runway and we'll handle the rest.
Wade enters the cockpit and starts the ignition on the plane, before readying the MG42. Washington and his soldiers push the plane out of the hangar
"Booker" Washington: Put your backs into it! Push! Keep moving those legs!
Japanese soldiers arrive and start attacking the Americans
"Booker" Washington: Jackson, need cover fire!
Wade opens fire on the attacking Japanese soldiers, until a Japanese Zero flies in for a strafing run.
Mateo Hernandez: Plane coming in!
"Booker" Washington: Use that LMG!
Mateo Hernandez: Keep shooting, Wade!
Wade uses the MG42 to shoot down the Zero out of the sky. 
"Booker" Washington: Targets to your left!
Mateo Hernandez: More of them!
Marvin Pelfrey: Almost there!
"Booker" Washington: Left! Left!
Wade keeps providing covering fire with the MG42 until Washington and his soldiers push the plane far out enough on the runway. Washington climbs up the plane's fuselage and Wade gives him back the MG42.
Wade Jackson: Won't be needing this anymore.
"Booker" Washington: Show us what you can do, Lieutenant.
Washington closes the cockpit window and leaps off the plane.
Wade Jackson: Alright. Let's see...
Wade familiarizes himself with the plane controls.
Mateo Hernandez: Do we have enough runway?
Wade Jackson: Ah... More or less.
Mateo Hernandez: I should've known you'd say that.
Wade grabs the plane's center stick and prepares for take off.
Wade Jackson: Here we go!
Wade flies the plane off the runway and into the sky as the camera shifts to the plane. The level ends.
Fade to black.
== Cutscene 1 ==
The 93rd Infantry Division is in the middle of a pitched battle to take the Japanese-held ridge. One of the tanks is shot and destroyed, causing an explosion that kills several of the 93rd soldiers. One of the wounded soldiers is dragged to cover by his comrade.
93rd Soldier: Come on!; Stay behind the tank!
The Japanese defenses fire a shot that destroys another tank, causing it to explode and kill more soldiers. One of the soldiers looks up in the sky and sees a Japanese Val dive bomber appear
93rd Soldier 1: Enemy bomber!
93rd Soldier 2: Take cover!
The 93rd soldiers dive to the ground as the Japanese plane flies over them and instead drops a bomb on the Japanese fortifications. The 93rd soldiers cheer on their unlikeliest savior as the plane flies away and the soldiers charge ahead onto the ridge.
93rd Soldier: Come on! Let's go!
The camera cuts to a satisfied Wade as he looks down at the 93rd soldiers completing their mission. Mateo rolls his eyes in relief.
Arthur Kingsley (voice): The men of the 93rd changed Wade. They showed the flying daredevil from the clouds what war looked like in the dirt. 
The scene fades to another part of Bougainville as Washington and his men patrol the jungle. They stop and look up to see Wade and Mateo fly overhead.
Arthur Kingsley: Down there, he learned the only way to win was to have each other's backs.
Wade and Washington exchange respectful salutes.
Arthur Kingsley: If you get past his talk, and you see his actions... You will know who Wade Jackson really is.
Washington and his men watch Wade and Mateo fly off into the Pacific horizon as the screen fades to black.
== Cutscene 2 ==
The scene cuts to Vanguard's prison cell.
Polina Petrova: I don't care what he did before. Wade abandoned us in Hamburg. I still don't trust him.
Arthur Kingsley: I get it. But we're not in this shithole because of him. We're in this shithole because some sodding Krauts think they can crack the best team I've ever worked with. Now... We need a plan to get us out of here.
Lucas Riggs: We're surrounded by Nazis. Even if we escaped, we're gonna be dead before we reach the door. 
Polina Petrova: Maybe not. 
Polina draws a knife from her clothes. Arthur reaches out his hand to Polina, who gives it to him.
Arthur Kingsley: I've got an idea.
The members of Task Force Vanguard gather around and listen to Arthur's plan.
Arthur Kingsley (voice): We were gonna put on a show for Richter. It was a gamble, but we'd come too far to give up on getting those files.
The scene cuts to Richter's office as he nervously waits for Polina to arrive.
Arthur Kingsley (voice): Polina being next gave us time to get ready. We knew she's hold her own.
The door opens as a Nazi guard brings Polina into the office. Richter composes himself hastily.
Jannick Richter: Nice to see you again, Fraulein.
The Nazi guard brings Polina in front of Richter's desk as she remains standing. Richter gestures to the chair.
Jannick Richter: Please... Please.
Polina looks around Richter's office.
Polina Petrova: (scoffs) This is exactly what I imagined your weird, little office would look like.
Polina finally sits down.
Jannick Richter: So... Tell me what your team is planning...
Richter places a wanted posted of Polina from the Battle of Stalingrad.
Jannick Richter: Lady Nightingale.
Cut to black.
