In August 1944, in Nazi-occupied France, the German military decides to move captured treasure, paintings, and about 25 tons of gold ingots from Paris to a safe location.
However, the team is compromised and is forced to escape from his second-in-command Petrović and the pursuing Serbs in a tank, causing extensive damage throughout the city.
Back in the base, the team is reprimanded by their commanding officer, Rear Admiral J. Levin, for their actions and put on a three-day leave.
He stole a gold ingot and buried it before he was found by the partisans who blew up the nearby dam and flooded the town as revenge for the massacre.
She found the vault, but the lake was miles behind enemy territory controlled by Petrović, who has been attacking NATO forces hunting the SEAL team.
Meanwhile, Milenko and his thugs search her flat, find the gold, and show it to Petrović, who decides to stop the SEAL team from extracting it.
The SEAL team and Lara establish an air pocket inside a church and break into the vault, only to discover that it contains only ten gold ingots.
