'The British Isles
are fast becoming'

'the greatest arsenal
in the history of man.'

'Farms, where once,
sheep and cattle grazed'

'are now storage depots
for tanks'

'and planes'

'and guns.'

'Hundreds of thousands
of soldiers'

'are training and waiting
for that fateful day'

'when Allied power
will be unleashed'

'against Nazi-dominated Europe"

'That an invasion
is forthcoming'

'is now an accepted fact.'

'But where and when is known
only to a handful of men.'

'So far, the time and place'

'is the best-kept
military secret of the war.'

'There is one man
who would like to know'

'and is making every effort
to find out.'

'The Allied High Command
is working just as diligently'

'to discover what preparations
Hitler has made'

'and how much he does know.'

Keep it.

Thank you very much, sir.

Good evening.

Major.

Good evening,
Major Pike.

Hi, Ted.

Thank you.

You see, Jeff, Von Rundstedt
is running the whole show

and seems to be listening
only to Von Rundstedt.

It appears that he's
putting all his chips

on the Pas-de-Calais.

Mac, you amaze me.

Over 300,000 men waiting for us

at the wrong place
and you're worried.

This business
is very much like marriage.

When things are going along
too smoothly

you can't help,
but be a bit suspicious.

Every German general
since Clausewitz has called

this the only possible
invasion route.

Dover to Calais

is the shortest distance
across the channel.

Good beaches, good harbor,
maximum air cover.

Leads right to the Ruhr valley
in the heart of Germany.

It makes sense, Mac.
Maybe we have fooled them.

It makes better sense
to assume we haven't.

Look at their
disposition of troops.

Over 60 divisions here,
only 9 at Normandy.

Pin?

One of those damn paper cuts.
Sliced it on the end of the map.

It's like a razor.

Where's their
greatest strength?

Right here.
The 15th Army at Calais.

But will it stay there?

Supposing these comforting bits
of information we've picked up

were leaked to us
deliberately.

Supposing, they've
known all along.

Supposing, at the last
possible moment

after we've
committed ourselves

the 15th moves
to back up Normandy.

Come in.

Colonel, the General's
office just called.

He'll see you now, sir.

Right.

We've got to find out if they're
playing games with us, Major.

We haven't much time.

Monday is the fifth.

'You think your contact
in Lisbon might know anything?'

Maybe. I doubt it, he's only
a clerk in the German Embassy.

He was right about Torch.

Awfully wrong about Anzio.

Mac tells me, you felt
that was deliberate.

I don't think he's working
for German intelligence

but I think they know
he's working for us.

Whenever they want to mislead us

they make it easy for him
to find false information.

Leave a file open

let him overhear
conversations.

They feed him enough
unimportant authentic stuff

to make us think
he's dependable.

But you've always been able
to determine which is which.

It's not so much
what he tells me, but how.

If he's positive
and expensive

I can be sure
it's a fake.

Which makes him
trustworthy and reliable

in a reverse sort of a way.

So, if we find he's absolutely
certain it's Calais..

Guarantees it, swears on his
mother's grave and asks $1,000--

We're reasonably sure
they know about Normandy.

You can make book on it.

Sit down, sit down.

I think it's worth
feeling him out, Major.

He'll only talk to me, sir.

That's why I'm sending
you back to Lisbon.

Well, now that I know
the details of the invasion

and maybe they know I know.

What if they pick me up
and work me over?

They haven't violated
Portuguese neutrality so far.

I'd bet my bottom dollar
you'd keep quiet, Jeff.

Thanks, Mac, but don't-don't
bet too much on it.

I've never had my ear
used for an ashtray.

You figure it's worth
the risk, General?

If it were a onetime thing, no.

But aside from the information
factor, you've been making

weekly courier flights
to Lisbon for over a year.

Suddenly stopping might make
the imminence of invasion

even more obvious.

"Time" magazine predicts

it's going to be
the first week in June.

You know something,
I have a hunch

that German intelligence
is almost as smart.

The old man wants us
to do everything we can

to make the Germans think
it's business as usual.

We're sending David
back to Stockholm.

And we've got that actor
reviewing troops in Gibraltar

impersonating
General Montgomery.

Is he getting
away with that?

Apparently, even some
of the British officials

believe he's Montgomery.

When do you
want me to leave, sir?

We've booked you
on the midnight flight.

It's 12:30 now, sir.

I arranged for them to find
some mechanical difficulties.

They're holding
the plane for you.

Here's your ticket, Jeff.

Embassy car will
pick you up in half an hour.

'BOAC announces
immediate departure'

'of Flight 16 to Lisbon.'

'Passengers will proceed
to Gate 23.'

'We apologize for the delay'

'but mechanical difficulties
made it unavoidable.'

So long.

- Good luck.
- Thank you.

Hello, luv.

Tell ma that pa
just went to see Bert.

No.

No, no, no.

That's alright.
At ease, at ease.

Now, we've all been through
this many times before

but this one
is the most important.

Therefore, not
the slightest mistake

will be tolerated
or excused.

Those of you who are
posing as Americans

will speak only English
at all times.

Anyone who forgets
and lapses into German

will be court-martialed
immediately.

Now, is that understood?

- Yes.
- Yes.

Fine.

Any questions?

Yeah. One thing
I forgot to mention, Major.

All the vehicles are in good
shape except number four jeep.

It was captured in North Africa.
It's pretty beat-up.

'Don't use it.'

Yes, sir.

Now, is radio, all set?

Yes, sir, and the programs
have been selected.

Good. Any further questions?

You're dismissed.

Gentlemen, you may now proceed.

We'll have transportation
for you back to Munich

as soon as you're finished.

Is this satisfactory?

'Perfect resemblance.
Who is it?'

One of the soldiers.

- Put it in his room.
- Yes, sir.

Anna.

So much of this depends on you.

- Do you have any doubts?
- No, sir.

- You've studied his biography?
- Every word of it.

Good girl.

After this is all over, I'll
do everything I can to help you.

You know that, don't you?

Yes, I believe you will.

These are the hairs taken
from a comb in his London flat?

Yes. We have tested them
before the patient arrived.

As you see, they have proven
highly receptive to the dye.

We anticipate
an excellent result.

Good.

But...I must warn you

it'll be a marked
contrast to his beard.

We'll shave him
just before he comes to.

But when it
grows out again?

We'll have
the answers by then.

Now, how long
will that be effective?

Two drops in each eye, will for
48 hours blur his close vision.

What about
his distant vision?

It will not prevent him
at 60 centimeters

from distinguishing
any object clearly.

Fine.

Now, are the reading
glasses ready?

Yeah, the frames were selected

to complement
his complexion and his taste.

They are similar to his
sunglasses in this candid shot

taken in Lisbon, last August.

Fine.

Three minutes every hour
through the night

will give the patient's skin
a similar appearance.

It will make
a noticeable difference.

Major, Colonel Osterman
wants to see you at the castle.

Mm-hmm. Okay.

He says it's most important.

Karl.

Karl. Karl.

Could I ask that
we speak in English?

Of course.

I don't want to run the risk

of speaking German
even for a minute.

I might forget later on
and one slip could mean failure.

- Of course, I understand.
- Well?

I have some unfortunate news
for you, Walter.

The SS is sending someone over

perhaps to interrogate
the prisoner.

To interrogate--

General Ungerland protested
in every way he could

but as you know,
since February

the SS has taken over all
matters concerning intelligence.

The powers of the General
are extremely limited now.

Those stupid, arrogant..

Pike has been trained
to resist interrogation

no matter how brutal.

I didn't say it was definite.

I said, perhaps.

The General was able
to secure a concession.

They're giving you 36 hours.

By the end of that time,
you don't have the information

the SS will take over.

I can do it in that time.

Unfortunately...that
decision was arrived at

early this morning.

Karl, why didn't you call me?

Because I'm sure that the SS
has tapped these lines.

- The S--
- Walter.

I know you're
an outspoken person.

I didn't want you
to say anything

that might endanger
your...health.

So I drove here. It took
longer than I thought.

The unbelievable stupidity.

If this was some whim of mine,
I can understand their attitude.

This procedure has proven
successful in 18 cases.

Walter, the General
explained all that.

He showed them the records.

Wait a minute. I admit
the information we've obtained

so far has been minor, alright.

Troop disposition,
strength of units

but Pike.

Pike, we know, attended
the final briefing

of Allied High Command
on April the 15th.

He knows every detail
of the invasion.

And he'll tell me
everything we want to know

openly, completely, willingly,
if given enough time.

Well, you still
have more than 24 hours.

Karl, it takes overnight
to dye his hair.

That doesn't
give you much time.

It certainly does not.

Not with some ignorant

heel-clicking
storm trooper snooping around.

They are sending
a Standartenfuhrer.

His name is Schack.

'He speaks English and has been
told to wear civilian clothes.'

Walter

can you do it?

I can try.

He should be coming around
any moment. Come on.

He's conscious now.

Here we go.

Mm-hmm.

He's accepting it.

Good.

He's completely disoriented.

Shall I go in
to him now, doctor?

No. He's gonna come barging
out of there any second.

Take it easy, Jeff.

Jeff, take it easy, you're
alright. You're fine, Jeff.

Now, come on.

I told you not
to leave him alone.

Sorry, doctor. When I saw him
coming out of it, I called you.

That's it, that's
a boy, Jeff. Easy boy.

- Where am I?
- There you go.

Jeff, you feel
alright now?

Jeff? Jeff?

It's Walt.

Don't you know me?
Or Anna?

He doesn't remember.

His reaction's different
to the other incidents.

His recovery is similar
to Colonel Watson's.

He's in a mild
hypnagogic state.

He'll be in good contact
in a little while.

What happened?
How the hell did I get here?

Easy, Jeff. Jeff,
Jeff, just take it easy.

We're gonna explain
everything to you later.

But right now,
you just relax.

Believe me, you're in no danger.
You're in a US Army hospital.

- I'm an army doctor.
- How did I get here?

We'll come to all that later.

Now, listen. Let's just
try a few questions first.

What's the last thing
you remember?

Where were you?
What were you doing?

I was in Lisbon.
I went to meet a contact.

Do you remember
anything since then?

No, I don't.

He's definitely lapsed
into an anterograde phase.

- Jeff. Jeff.
- I don't remember.

Now listen.

Lisbon...was six years ago.

How can I just
lose six years?

Wa-wait a minute.

Here's yesterday's paper.
Look at the date.

I know, I saw it.
Look, alright, alright.

I'm in a hospital,
but where?

- In Germany.
- Germany?

'The war's been over
a long time, Jeff.'

We won it. We kicked
the hell out of Hitler.

We're occupying the country.

Here, look. Look.

Alright.
What happened to me?

But look. No, no. We'll put
all those pieces together later.

For the moment

and you've probably
realized it by now

you've had amnesia.

There's nothing to worry about.
You've recovered. Trust me.

I promise you, everything's
gonna be alright.

Now-now, the thing
to do right now

is just don't get panicky.

It could possibly
cause a recurrence.

That's it.

Now listen.

Right now, I just want you
to relax, take it easy.

Anna will get you
back to your quarters.

There you go.

That's it.
That's it.

Check his blood pressure
and chart it.

Yes, doctor.

I'm gonna find the other
doctors and tell them.

We've been waiting
for this moment for months.

See you later, pal.

You're going to be fine.

Hope you
feel better.

How are you feeling?

Strange.

Say, doctor--

Come on, it's
always been Walt.

Okay, Walt.
What about my father?

- hmm. Had a letter
from him yesterday.

I'm keeping him in touch
on your condition.

Since he had that heart attack
in '44, I was concerned--

No, no. He's fine now.

I'll be over later.
I'll bring the letter with me.

- Thank you.
- He's written to you too.

Of course, the letters
didn't mean anything to you.

You didn't
remember your father.

But you can read them now.
I've saved them.

Hey, what's with the free ride?
Pretty soft, Jeff. Pretty soft.

I'm supposed to know him, huh?

Yes. You're good friends.

That's Captain Abbott.
You play chess together.

Hello, Major.

Today's paper
just came in.

Thank you.

'Whoa.'

'Come on, right here.'

There it goes.
Right there.

Alright.
Nice going.

There you go.

'Come on, baby.'

Here we are.

Jimmy, take this back
to recovery, please.

Do you remember it?

You got a microphone
in the American's room?

No. It's too risky.

He's too smart. He's been
trained. He'd find it.

All the questioning
will be done here

where there
is a microphone.

You can monitor any conversation
you like from the castle.

Good, good, good.
And he suspects nothing, huh?

No.

His recovery
was quite routine

no different from the other
18 successful cases.

The others were stupid,
gullible foot soldiers.

This man has been
trained to use his head

for something else
than a target.

I'm perhaps more aware of that
than you, Standartenfuhrer.

This isn't just a dossier.
This is a biography of Pike.

The reason we're so thoroughly
prepared in this case

is because we were gonna
abduct Pike a year ago

to learn about
the Italian invasion.

- And you didn't succeed, huh?
- We didn't try.

General Ungerland didn't think
I was sufficiently prepared.

But since then,
we've been adding material

to this every day.

I know this man as well
as I know my own brother.

He'll accept me
as a friend

as an American doctor
trying to help him.

Just because you speak the
language without an accent, huh?

Partly, yes. I was born
in the United States.

I wasn't brought
to Germany till I was 16.

If I know the idiom, I know
the attitudes and customs.

And he'll be convinced
just like all the others.

What if he becomes suspicious
of the surroundings

and tries to escape?

He won't. This hospital
is completely isolated.

The nearest village
is eight kilometers.

'There are no military
or industrial targets'

'within 90 kilometers.'

Consequently,
there's' no air traffic

and no necessity for blackouts.

As I was saying, when he sees
through all this nonsense

and tries to escape

what precautions
have you taken, huh?

After all, the Swiss border
is only six kilometers away.

The hospital grounds
are completely fenced.

So was the prison camp
at Bregenz.

And only last week, seven men
escaped into Switzerland.

Yes, well, it wasn't
from here, was it?

Excuse me, Standartenfuhrer,
I must see the prisoner.

By the way, I've arranged
for the billeting officer

to find you quarters
at the castle.

You doctors
and professors amaze me.

You learn everything
at the universities

except common sense.

Even a peasant would know
better than to oppose the SS.

I'm merely trying
to take advantage

of the little time
left to me.

'Doctor?'

Why don't you turn
the prisoner over to me now

and...avoid the risk
of failure, huh?

And in that way you could avoid
the risk of my success.

Do you really believe this
scheme of yours will succeed?

I'll stake my reputation on it.

You have staked more
than your reputation, doctor.

Much more.

Heil Hitler.

The waiter must have slipped
a mickey in the coffee

because as I...I walked down
the steps into this courtyard

it hit me.

Well, I passed out.

Mm-hmm.

And when you came to,
they questioned you.

When you wouldn't talk,
they beat the hell out of you.

This is what you looked like
when they got through with you.

'So that's what
caused the amnesia?'

No, no, unless there's
a permanent brain damage

which wasn't true
in your case.

Loss of memory from concussion
lasts from a few minutes

to a few hours, a few days.
Never longer than a week or so.

You had a functional
or hysterical amnesia.

Swell. That
explains everything.

Alright, let's
look at it another way.

You possessed information
you didn't want to reveal.

And also, the experience,
the beating

was too painful
to tolerate.

So a-as a defense mechanism,
a protection

and a protection against
revealing the invasion plans

you just...washed it
out of your brain.

'Wasn't a conscious effort
on your part.'

'You had no control over it.
It just...happened.'

Well, I...don't
understand all of it

but I'll take your word for it.

Wa-wait a minute. Let's
take an easy, classic example.

A little boy's
in a rowboat on a lake

and he's looking
at the cottage where he lives.

And suddenly, the gas stove
in the cottage explodes

and his parents
are burned to death.

'When they find the boy,
he doesn't remember anything.'

The experience was
so shocking, so horrifying

that the mind just...forced
itself to wipe it out.

- To forget it.
- I see.

If he couldn't remember,
it just didn't happen.

Exactly, as in your case.

You took the expedient
of complete nihilism.

In other words,
you've lost your identity.

Alright, alright.

Now, that I've got it back

where the hell did
the last six years go?

Yeah. Well, that's a little
tougher to understand.

Um..

Wait a minute, look.

Let's assume...
this is the day you were born.

This in the center,
is the day in Lisbon.

That edge is today, now.

Right.

Now, everything
from here to here

everything that's happened
to you your whole life

up to this point..

...is suddenly wiped out

because of the traumatic
episode in Lisbon.

It's a blank now.
You remember nothing.

That's retrograde amnesia.

Now, slowly, through treatment

we bring this back into focus
into your consciousness

and you remember again.

But sometimes
when we succeed, suddenly..

...this portion is blanked out.

And that's what's called
anterograde amnesia.

That's what you got right now.

Our job now

is to bring
these six years back.

So that eventually you remember
everything, from here to here.

That'll take another six years.

No, it won't.

You see, you want
to remember now.

In the retrograde phase, you
wanted unconsciously to forget.

How the hell
do you do that?

Same way you try and recall

any experience
that's slipped your mind.

First, you remember a face,
object, an experience

and we keep adding pieces
until the jigsaw is complete.

Here, this is gonna help you.

This is your medical records
since Lisbon.

Your charts, your reactions
to various tests

your talks with the doctors.

Well, it's longer than "Gone With The Wind."

Might find it more interesting.
I'll get you something to eat.

Yeah. Good, I'm starved.

Listen, you finished with
these letters from your dad?

Yeah. Thanks, Walt, for being
a friend of the family.

'I appreciate it.'

You're welcome.
See you later, pal.

- Sore?
- 'No, not much.'

You should be.

You've had three IVs
and five hypos.

What for?

Dr. Gerber's method
is a variation

of a British treatment.

With sedation,
he keeps the patient

on the verge of a deep sleep
for a day or so.

And during that time,
he talks to him

tries to get him to remember
what he's forgotten.

Without the conscious
mind resisting

he very often comes through with
complete recall, as you did.

'So if your arm's
a little lame, you blame me.'

I gave you the shots.

Considering the results,
you're forgiven.

Now that you
remember them

we can put it out.

Thank you.

Would you like a drink? The
doctor said you may have one.

Really, I could use one.

Only not a little one.

Make it a great big slug.

I can barely lift this thing

let alone read it.

It's the technical
language.

Words like "hypnonarcoanalysis"
weigh a ton.

I remember the last
physical I had.

The doctor told me
I'd need glasses some day.

He was right.

Have you waded
through this thing?

As the nurse on the case,
I practically know it by heart.

Even with a medical dictionary

it'd take me days
and I'm a little impatient.

Could you give me
a fast synopsis?

I'll trade you.

Lisbon--

I'm going to need
some fresh air with it too.

Well, after you were missing
for three days in Lisbon

they found you wandering
around the airport.

And you didn't know where
you were or who you were.

One of the legation staff
members, uh, Dudley Thomas.

That was Norweb's deputy.

He took custody of you

and you were sent
back to the States.

You entered Walter Reed Hospital
on 16th June.

And in October '44,
you made a recovery.

Then this is not
the first time?

'No, you've had several.'

Unfortunately, each time
you had a regression.

That means that...
there's a chance

that this is only temporary.

'There's always that chance.'

But so far, your reactions

are a little more promising,
the doctor says.

He'll be able to tell more
when he digs back and sees

'how accurately you remember.'

What are they
talking about?

Everything's alright,
she's got a copy of this record

and she's reading it to him.

'You made another recovery'

'and were released
in April '46.'

You returned to Tulsa,
you worked there

you lived with your father
for almost three years.

And then you took a long
vacation and you wound up

visiting your old friend
Peter MacLean in Edinburgh.

'Then last year, December 4'

'you just wandered away.'

And rather than send you
to another stateside hospital

they shipped you over here.

Why here?

Your friend Peter MacLean
arranged it.

He heard about
the unusual success

that Dr. Gerber had been having
with the treatment I mentioned

and he pulled
a few wires.

That's Mac.

Say, tell me something.
When did the war end?

In Europe, November 21, '44.

In the Pacific,
three months later.

Then I win my bet.

He'd bet me, it'd take a year,
after we landed in Normandy.

I'll send him
a cable and say

"I just remembered,
you owe me ten dollars."

He'll know I'm alright then.

He'll probably
deliver it in person.

It's getting a little chilly.
I think I'll get my sweater.

Anything I can do before I go?

No, thank you.
I'll get myself a refill.

Glance through
"Gone With The Wind"

see if anything
rings a bell.

- That's all he said?
- Yes.

Just Normandy.

I didn't press the point.
I felt it would be obvious.

Good. Good. Go back to him now
and continue as we planned.

Yes, sir.

Ha!

Normandy.

Fantastic!

What? Yeah, the truth
very often is.

You believe it?

I'm not sure till
I question him.

He could be talking
about a diversionary attack.

And then again..

I must report this
to Gruppenfuhrer Kraatz.

We seem to be
having a good time.

'Dr. Gerber took it
a few weeks ago.'

We were on a picnic.

Have...we known
each other long?

That was my mother's
engagement ring.

And I gave you this--

We were married
two months ago tomorrow.

Alright, let's hear
the rest of it.

Later, Jeff,
the doctor said--

Later, later, later.
Everything's later.

The doctor's treating me

as if I'd forgotten
somebody's damn phone number.

This is six years
out of my life.

Alright, Jeff.

At first, I suppose we-we felt
sorry for each other.

Which one?

First Auschwitz.

Then I was transferred
to Ravensbruck.

I was there for over five years.

That's a lot worse than amnesia.

That's what made it so ironical.

You came here
wanting to remember.

I wanted just
as desperately to forget.

'That's quite a lot
to have in common.'

I know this
is a strange thing

for a man
to ask his wife, but..

...what's your name?

Anna.

Anna Hedler Pike.

Well, Anna..

...I'd say, we're in
one hell of a mess.

These last two months..

...I wanted you
to get well

and yet I prayed
you wouldn't.

There was always
the chance if you did

I would be
a stranger to you.

And now I am.

I'm terribly sorry.

Don't be, Jeff.

I was wanted and loved
for a short time

and I loved in return.

I never thought I could feel
that way ever again.

Standartenfuhrer Schack
speaking.

He can't be reached
for an hour.

Well, in that case,
I'm gonna talk to Pike.

I haven't got
much time left.

Doctor, if you need an hour
or so more...take it.

For someone who was
so opposed to my procedure

this sudden cooperation
is very baffling.

Not at all.

Being a practical man

I-I like to be
associated with success.

It's better
for promotions, huh?

Now that I see

there's a possibility
that you might succeed.

I-I would be foolish
not to cooperate, huh?

Yeah, whatever your reasons

I'm glad we're not
working at cross purposes.

For the moment.

You see, if you
get the information

there will be medals and honors

and I'm quite sure
I can figure out some way

to take half the credit.

We worked together,
I helped you.

I'm not interested
in medals and honors.

Don't you realize--

In this case, I can take
all the credit.

But if you fail

please don't expect me
to come to your defense.

It wouldn't be practical, huh?

I would have to be against
you from the beginning.

You understand
my position?

Yes, I'm afraid so.

Now

so I can be completely sure
you're not deceiving me

I'd like to be with you
when you talk to him.

You can introduce me
as someone from the village

someone he doesn't remember.

But you might make a mistake.

By refusing

you might be making
a bigger mistake, huh?

You don't remember me, Major?

Otto Schack.

The restaurant
at Waldshut.

You and frau Pike
take dinner with me very often

and afterwards
we play chess.

The day you put
this ring on her finger

you came to my place
for the engagement celebration.

Look, Mr. Schack,
I just don't remember.

You will. You will when
I make your favorite again

gefullte kalbsbrust, huh?

Sometimes what the brain
forgets the tongue remembers.

I'm sure it'd be
a novel cure for amnesia.

I-I'm sorry if
I got a little edgy.

Although, physically
it's six years later

emotionally for me, the war
just ended today, so..

Germans are not exactly
my favorite people.

That's not unusual, Jeff.
You'll get over that.

I suppose so.

Did he say Waldshut?

Yes. It's a little
village down the road.

Close to the Swiss border?

- Not far. Why?
- I thought it sounded familiar.

One of my first jobs

was questioning
escaped fliers.

I remember this one RAF pilot.

He got into Switzerland
through Waldshut.

'I guess a lotta guys did.'

Yes. I helped
20 to get over.

Some minister helped
this guy get across.

A minister?
A good man.

A very good man.

Did you get a chance
to look at that record?

Well, Anna gave me
a quick run-down.

Don't know where I'm going.
At least I know where I've been.

You got any questions?

A few thousand.
First, what about the war?

Well, after the invasion,
it went pretty fast.

When we got to the German border

Rommel and Von Rundstedt
advised surrender.

Hitler refused,
so the military pulled

a coup d'etat and assassinated him.

They beat us to it, huh?

Yeah, they also got
Goering and Goebbels.

A bomb planted
at a staff meeting.

First time anybody hit
the jackpot with three lemons.

What about Himmler?

He was arrested
and executed

along with the SS
and the top Gestapo brass.

And the German people took care
of the rest of the small fry.

'So the invasion caught
'em flat-footed, huh?'

More or less.

At least I was right about that.

Before I went to Lisbon, MacLean
and I were talking about it.

'And he was worried
they were playing cute with us"

If they had their 15th Army
dug in at Pas-de-Calais

the odds were against them
expecting us to hit at Normandy.

That's one of the things
I wanted to ask you about.

This conversation with MacLean.

Now, at Walter Reed,
you gave one version

and at Fitzsimmons,
it was slightly different.

Really?
That's funny.

It's-it's as clear in my mind
as if it were yesterday.

Good, 'cause I've got
a statement from MacLean.

Let's see how close
you come to it.

Here's your dinner. MacLean can
wait. You're hungry and tired--

- Well, no, no, I'm fine.
- Have your dinner.

It'll give me chance to drive
Herr Schack to town.

Walt, I feel
like Rip Van Winkle.

If answering a few questions
will help, dinner can wait.

It'll take a few minutes
to set the table.

Okay.

What else did you
and MacLean discuss?

Well, the date,
for one thing.

We knew the German weather
reports were as good as ours.

They knew it had to be
the fifth, sixth, or seventh.

But we didn't think
they'd pinpointed the fifth.

- huh.
Anything else?

We went to see
General Allison together.

We discussed my Lisbon contact.

That's pretty much
the way he remembers it.

There was another conference on
the afternoon of the same day.

Do you recall
what was discussed then?

Sure, we were going through
a lot of information

trying to decide
whether the Germans

had learned the code names
to our beach sectors.

'Do you remember
the code names?'

Utah, Omaha, Gold,
Juno and Sword.

Good. Right on the button.
I'm gonna get tougher with you.

Alright. Do you happen to recall

the disposition of troops
in the various sectors?

Well, let's see.

Utah was the US 7th corps

with the US 4th division
making initial assault.

'Omaha was the US 5th corps'

'with the US 1st
and 29th divisions.'

Gold was assigned
to the British 30th corps

with the British 40th, no, the
British 50th making the landing.

Juno was the Canadian 3rd
and Sword the British 3rd.

- How'd I do, coach?
- You batted a thousand.

That's definitely enough
for one session.

Jeff, you can sleep easy.

I'm confident we'll have you
outta here, cured in no time.

Amazing, after all these years,
he could remember such things.

To Major Pike, it's as if the
last six years never existed.

When are we gonna
get around to that?

Tomorrow. Start with Lisbon,
bring you right up to date.

- See you then, Jeff.
- Right. Thanks, Walt.

Herr Schack, I'm sorry
I don't remember you...yet.

You will.
You will.

Auf widersehen, Frau Pike.

Auf widersehen, Herr Schack.

- Auf widersehen, Major.
- Goodbye, sir.

Everything's
all ready, Jeff.

What about you?

It's too early
for me to eat.

I'll have a cup
of coffee with you.

Walk slowly.

If I hadn't heard it myself,
I wouldn't have believed it.

You still think
it's an idiotic scheme?

Doctor, it was just never
explained to me properly, huh?

If I had known, I'd..

Do you remember
everything he said?

- Of course not. Do you?
- Normandy and the fifth.

Also the code names,
Sword, Gold, uh..

Omaha, Utah.

And there was one more.
All those places and numbers--

Tomorrow morning in my office,
we'll have him repeat it.

A microphone and a stenographer
can monitor the conversation.

But tomorrow's
already the third.

The time and place will keep
headquarters busy until morning.

Doctor, that woman,
the nurse.

Are you sure of her?

She can be trusted.

But someone from
a concentration camp--

Will do almost anything
to keep from being sent back.

Yes. Ha. Yes!

And that was good to hear
about the minister, huh?

I can hardly wait...
to talk to him.

The subject exhibited
the usual perturbation

and insisted upon
knowing the details

of the outcome
of the war.

He accepted
without question

a brief, superficial
summary on--

The minister is in Munich...
for four days.

You'll have to have him
picked up there then.

No.

You forget, I'm
a practical man.

I will wait until he returns
and arrest him myself.

It would be very good
for my record, huh?

A brief, superficial summary

of a fictitious
Allied victory--

And speaking
of that victory

so, all the SS
were executed, huh?

Just a fantasy.

Or perhaps,
wishful thinking, doctor.

If there are executions

don't be too sure
it...won't be the intellectuals

with their backs
to the wall, huh?

Now, did you remember
anything else?

Yes. The fifth
code word was Juno

and Sword was the third
British division.

- Write that down.
- That's alright.

Gonna call Colonel Ostermann.
I'll tell him.

That won't be necessary.

Those are my orders.

I will give the information
to Gruppenfuhrer Kraatz

when he returns my call.

You really are
a practical man.

I was barely alive

when the Americans
marched into Ravensbruck.

After a few months,
I was able to work again.

Since I was a nurse
and I could speak English

they sent me to many
military hospitals

wherever the need
was the greatest.

Two years ago,
I came here.

You've had it
pretty rough.

Thank God, I was
strong enough to last.

I'm gonna need
a handkerchief.

Top drawer, left.

'God bless you.'

Thank you.

- Are you alright, Jeff?
- I'm fine.

Just, I can't get used to this
fella in the mirror, that's all.

I know it's quite a shock,
but don't try to fight it.

You can set up all sorts
of psychic disturbances.

I guess it's a lot
like the weather

not a hell of a lot
you can do about it.

'You won't get much.'

The reception's pretty bad
because of the mountains

being so close.

Sometimes we can get the armed
services station in Munich.

That's 720.

'And Darnsted rallied for three
runs in the bottom of the ninth"

to beat the Frankfurt
Engineers five to four.

That puts the Darnsted Flyboys
back in first place.

'Looks like the only thing
that'll keep them out'

'of the zone playoffs,
is to have their pitching staff"

'transferred stateside.'

'That takes care of the sports
roundup for today.'

'Be with you again
tomorrow at five o'clock.'

'And now, back
to Staff Sergeant Lefko'

and some more music.

'Here's a new recording
of an oldie.'

'Everybody was whistling this
six, seven years ago.'

'Had to whistle it 'cause they
couldn't remember the words.'

♪ Mairzy doats,
and dozy doats ♪

♪ And liddle
lamzy divey ♪

♪ A kiddley divey too,
wouldn't you? ♪

♪ Yes, mairzy doats,
and dozy doats ♪

♪ And liddle
lamzy divey ♪

♪ A kiddley divey too,
wouldn't you? ♪

or funny to your ear ♪

Anna, are there
any books around

on the last few months
of the war?

I'm curious. I'd like
to read about it.

There are several
in the hospital library

but the library
closed at 5.

Well, I've waited
this long

another day
doesn't matter.

I think
I'll take a walk.

Would you like me
to go with you?

I'd rather be alone for
a while, if you don't mind.

I'll probably hit the sack
when I get back.

So no need
to wait around.

That's alright.

I'm naturally anxious
about you, Jeff.

You can understand that,
can't you?

Sure.

Anna...I didn't see any of
your clothes around.

You don't
stay here, huh?

That would be
against regulations.

Hello, Major. I see you're
getting a little exercise, huh?

I thought I'd take
a ride into the village.

May I see your pass,
please?

I forgot to get it.

Gee, I'm sorry, Major

but I can't let you through
without it.

They've been cracking down
on us ever since that schizo

lammed outta here
last week.

Good afternoon,
General.

Dirty trick, Major.

These generals always give me
a heart attack.

My laugh for the day.
I'll be heading back.

Want me to call Major Gerber?
Maybe I can get an okay.

Don't bother. I get plenty
of exercise along here.

- h !

You scream once, you'll find out
how easy your neck will break.

Now, tell me the date.

I-I don't know what you--

What's the date?

2nd of June.

You Krauts go through
a lot of trouble

even so far
as getting tattooed.

That's not a lie.

I was at Auschwitz
and Ravensbruck.

That's why I'm here. That's why
I agreed to do it.

You just might have bought
yourself a round-trip ticket

if you open your mouth once
before I figure this out.

God, you must feel
proud of yourself.

Don't you think,
I know what I am?

Don't you think
I know what I've become?

You've heard stories
about concentration camps?

About inspiring courage
and the exalted spirit.

Don't you believe it?

Yes, perhaps at first, everybody
swears to protect each other.

Then, little by little,
pound by pound

as you waste away,
so does your humanity

and it disappears.

You don't face death
bravely.

The closer it comes,
the more you fight to live.

You'll do anything for
another day, another hour.

You lie, you steal,
you become an animal.

Don't try to justify
yourself.

I've seen mothers inform
on their own children

for another piece of bread

and I was no better.

I worked in a clinic
for old people

who were too weak
to lift a spoon.

Many times,
I gave them water

and I kept the soup
for myself.

Is that supposed to make me
feel sorry for you?

No.

I'm not asking
for your pity

but just one last chance
for self-respect.

You must let me help you.

How the hell
did you get here?

I spoke English.

I was a nurse.

And I was more than willing.

I would have done anything
to get away from that place.

I did exactly
as I was told

because there was always
the threat of being sent back.

You'd be amazed
how obedient that makes you.

I'm glad to hear it.

Once more, you're going to
do exactly as you're told.

If you don't

I'll tell them I learned
the truth from you.

If I help, it won't be
because of any threats

but because I want to.

They'll never send me back.

Cyanide?

Either way, you wind up
pretty dead.

But I want to help.

Call it guilt, penance.
Call it anything you want.

Alright.
Just...shut up.

'I'll do anything
to help you.'

'Believe me.'

Major? Major!

Yeah.

Damn!

Trust me. You've got
no other choice.

Alright, I want you to
run out of here hysterically.

Tell him I know
it's a hoax

I've known from the beginning
but tell him nothing else.

While you're doing that,
I'll duck out the back.

You can't escape.

It'll look more convincing
if I try.

Go on.

You don't look
very hysterical.

Can't you cry?

I've used up
all my tears.

Yes, sir. He escaped
just a few minutes ago.

So...he knew, huh?

The nurse found out.

I'll come immediately.

Don't feel badly. Even Dillinger
couldn't break out of here.

- You're dismissed.
- Yes, sir.

Something in here
tip you off?

No.

When did you
find out, Major?

Just before I left for Lisbon,
I cut myself, a paper cut.

I don't know much
about medicine

but I do know that
it doesn't take six years

for that to heal.

The dermatologist went over you
from head to toe.

You can hardly see it.

It's right in a crease,
but I felt it.

I could've played your game
right to the end

but I made a slip
and she got suspicious.

She's a smart girl.

I'm curious, Major.

If it hadn't been
for that cut

would you have been
convinced?

Completely.

We studied all your methods
of getting information

but this one just
wasn't in the manual.

It's not generally known.

The newspapers,
my gray hair

Gone With The Wind,
my glasses.

- How'd you do that?
- Couple of drops of atropine.

Just affects the close vision.
It'll wear off by tomorrow.

You...you were the most
convincing thing.

Must admit, you were pretty
convincing yourself

the way you rattled off
the facts about Normandy.

You learn a cover story so well,
you can rattle it off in sleep.

In fact, you were
so convincing

I have a sneaking hunch
you were telling the truth.

Don't think you knew until after
you told us about Normandy.

You're absolutely right,
doctor.

If I were you,
I'd notify headquarters

to move every man and piece
of equipment to Normandy.

Now that you've
found out

I doubt they'll have much
confidence in my opinion.

You know, of course, I have to
turn you over to the bully boys.

I didn't think you were going
to send me back to Lisbon.

That man who was here, Schack..

...he ain't from the village.

He's a standartenfuhrer, SS.

'He seems rather
innocuous.'

So does Himmler.

I'm sure by now
one of my trusted staff

has told him about
your attempt to escape.

It shouldn't be too long now.

You think you're
in a tight spot?

You got company.

I'm sorry I have to
turn you over to Attila the Hun.

I appreciate your concern
but...why?

You see, this is
only fiction.

I wrote it to make the six years
seem real to you.

I've got another record,
a thicker one than this.

Everything about you
from the day you were born.

I studied it for months.

I got to know you
as well as I know Cyrano

David Copperfield,
Robinson Crusoe.

I came to the conclusion
you're a hell of a guy.

I feel like I'm turning in
one of my best friends.

You've got your job to do.
I've got mine.

I have the strangest feeling.

I'm almost sorry
I messed it up for you.

'It was important
to you, wasn't it?'

Yeah.

Not the securing
of information.

That was a recent
development.

It started with
these sick kids

being sent back from
the Russian front.

Battle fatigue,
complete mental breakdowns.

Some of them were catatonics.

Wouldn't move a muscle,
wouldn't speak a word.

'I've seen a few soldiers
like that.'

I couldn't get
through to them.

I tried chemical hypnotics,
shock, everything.

Finally, I sedated them.

'When they came to,
I convinced them'

'it was two years later
and the war was over.'

They lost their fear of being
sent back and recovered.

When they could take it,
I told them the truth

and had them transferred
to desk jobs.

Most of them stayed well.

Then, as with most
well-intentioned things

someone saw some real solid
corrupt possibilities in it

and it became perverted.

Want to have
one last drink together?

I have a feeling
I'm going to need it.

You don't know what things
he has in mind for me, do you?

They all have their
favorite techniques.

He might start with something
they learned from the Russians.

It seems to be in vogue.
It's very simple. No sleep.

Unless I get eight hours,
I'm just no good the next day.

Deprive a man of sleep,
you take away his resistance

confuse his loyalties,
and loosen his tongue.

If that fails?

For your sake,
I hope it doesn't.

Normandy, huh?

You didn't think
I believed that, did you?

You might fool this
university man. But not me.

Now...what have you got
to say, huh?

How are things
at the restaurant, huh?

I promise you,
you will tell us the truth.

I promise you...on a map

you will show me
every little detail.

Standartenfuhrer, to read the
map, he'll need those glasses.

Get them.

Go.

So it couldn't fail,
huh?

He will tell us everything
willingly, huh?

Quite a coincidence,
doctor.

Your time is up.

Cyanide, huh?

So...there are two of you.

A few minutes ago,
you betrayed him

and now..

I have been questioned
by the SS.

You will be again.

Yes.

Yes. Put him on.

That's a stupid thing you did.
Now, they'll get the truth out.

Never. Believe me.

I think we've already
gotten the truth out of him.

Normandy. Ridiculous.

The gruppenfuhrer
was very angry with you.

And...as a practical man

I could not defend you.

Here...you might need this.

They've either killed him
or gotten him out of Lisbon.

Maybe to Germany.

They'll put
the screws to him.

- What's your guess?
- He'll hold out for a time.

Then give them the details
of fortitude, not overlord.

Fortunately, we'll be
bombing Calais around the clock.

That'll help to make it
more believable.

Leak the word
to the underground.

Right. Some of them
are bound to talk.

You know, General

I'd like to try
something locally.

What?

Well, Perkins is
a very convincing drunk.

He takes a punch
rather well.

Last orders, please!

Last orders, please!

Listen, buddy,
let me tell you something.

Take it easy, Yank.

Finish up your drink,
and go home, and get some sleep.

Shut up, Perk, and let's
get out of here.

Leave me alone.

You limeys will still be
in the channel

while I'm having dinner
in Calais.

Calais, he said. Then the other
officer knocked him down.

I don't know.

I just know..

...it's not Normandy.

That's all he told me.

Major, it's senseless of you
to keep refusing.

We know it's Pas de Calais

and we know it's the 7th.

Then what the hell am I trying
to be a hero for!

Good.

What do you think
of our methods now, huh?

What makes you think
that's not a lie?

Because it confirms the opinion
of the high command.

I've been going over
Pike's reactions

his answers
to my questions.

I'm convinced he found out
after he told us about Normandy.

My dear Gerber, before I came
here, I read your record.

It called you a leader
in your field.

Take my advice.
Don't try to be a leader.

I have discovered it's much
safer...to be a follower.

Well, we made it.
D-day.

They're just about
ready to land.

May God go with them.

Thought that last clap
of thunder might wake you.

You both had
quite a sleep.

How do you feel?

How would you feel
if you'd done what I did?

You can stop
the dramatics, Major.

The invasion started
a few minutes ago...at Normandy.

So you didn't know
from the very beginning?

'You knew that,
didn't you, Anna?'

Yes.

Amazing. We had it
right in our hands.

Every single detail.

By the way...
this clock got pushed ahead.

If you want to know
the correct time, it's 11:42.

Night of the 4th.

You've got your job,
I've got mine, Major.

I'd telephone this information,
but I'm sure lines are tapped

so deliver it personally
to Col. Ostermann at his home.

- Here's the address.
- Yes, Major.

I don't know what's in store
for us but...before it happens

I want you to know
that I'm grateful.

You did everything
you could.

'Still a Major?'

I thought by now you'd be
at least a Colonel.

Or maybe even a sergeant.

Your army didn't show up.

I suppose invasions
are like baseball games.

They're postponed sometimes
on account of bad weather.

At least,
that's my guess.

Radio says it's this
way all over Europe.

'I wouldn't worry, Major. The
extra time won't help us much.'

My message was
intercepted by Schack.

It's probably
in a wastebasket by now.

'They believed the Pas de Calais
story completely.'

Fits all the other information,
conforms to military strategy

but most important of all

it substantiates what the high
command is committed to.

Looks like Schack will be
in the same boat with us.

No, no.

He's a practical man.

You can be sure that
he and Kraatz have decided

that neither of them
ever heard the word "Normandy."

That leaves
the three of us.

You can also be sure
he'll be back here

'to make certain
we don't talk...dead certain.'

These are some of the case
histories of those soldiers

the young guys
I told you about

the ones with battle fatigue
and nervous breakdowns

that were cured.

I'd kind of hate
to see them burned

along with the triplicate
requisitions for toilet paper.

This is a duplicate
key to that door.

The west gate
is your best bet.

You might be able to
get into Switzerland

with the help of
that minister.

He lives just
behind the church.

The hospital fence
is 8 feet high.

The castle's not on
the hospital grounds.

Just get to the woods.

Don't make it to the village in
daylight. Wait till it's dark.

What about Anna?

This is my revenge.

I want it to be
as complete as possible.

Of course,
you can go, Anna.

Thank you.

I had to do
what I did.

I hope you
understand.

I don't
blame you.

But it was
a foolish thing, Anna.

The cyanide, I mean.
That was clumsy.

'Intentionally
clumsy.'

'I think, down deep,
you wanted to be caught.'

Why?

Guilt cries out
for punishment.

Punishment is
a specific cure

for a feverish
conscience.

- Is that the only cure?
- 'No.'

Very often, understanding
and forgiveness

can produce
the same result.

'I hope you find it.'

What about you?

Schack just told me
I'm under arrest.

I imagine they'll be coming
for me in a minute.

Take good care
of it, Jeff.

It's the only important thing
I've ever accomplished.

I've had good success
with true amnesia victims.

Some other doctor might
pick up where I left off.

Here comes my jailer
to lock me up.

But they'll be wrong.

I'll be in
that envelope.

If you make it,
so do I.

Major Gerber.

I'm sorry, but
Standartenfuhrer Schack

has just ordered me
to place you under arrest.

Please don't.

If you're worried about
what I have in mind, forget it.

This is hardly
the ideal place

or the proper time
for a seduction.

Just don't touch me,
please.

I was only trying
to warm you.

A man's arms are welcome
and comforting to most women..

...but not to me.

At Ravensbruck, I was used
by the officers

by the soldiers,
by the guards.

At first, it was vile
and horrifying

and then after a time,
it became worse.

It became...nothing.

I didn't scream, fight,
or cry anymore.

And I haven't
cried since.

I'm sorry for you.

To love takes tears.

I hope someday you'll
be able to cry again.

Let's go around.

She says they won't come for us
until early morning

that we should get
some sleep now.

Good. Wunderbar.

Now I have a chance
to practice my English.

The day the American
declare war

I started learning.

So when the occupation
begins, I am ready.

You speak very well.

I think I have yet
a little accent.

Something wrong?

Well, nothing, it's..
Well, just your uniform.

Are you really
an army sergeant?

Regular army? No.

I'm too old. Too fat.
Home guard.

We are patrolling the border

so the young, strong,
and handsome men

can go to Russia
and freeze to death.

'Wonderful system.
Heh heh.'

You think I'm not loyal
to the Fuhrer, but I am.

He's a great man.

Whatever he tells me
to do, I do.

'He sends message to
the Home Guard.'

He says, "If the enemy puts
a foot on German soil

it is your duty
to drive him out."

You are the enemy.

I cannot drive you out,
I have no car.

So I make you walk out.

'Huh? Ha ha ha!'

Heil Hitler.
Ha ha ha!

Now I take you
to my house

and I give you something
that smells like coffee

but tastes like hell.

If I can go through here,
anybody can. Elsa?

'From here to here
is my patrol.'

'In these rocks,
you will hide.'

'I will come
over this road.'

'You will go
through the woods.'

At 6 o'clock, a truck
will put me at my post.

Twice...I patrol.

It takes 14 minutes.

If you hear no warning

I will come to the rocks,
and everything is alright

and you will have
hot chocolate in Switzerland.

Now, let's talk business.

How much can you pay?

Pay?

You think
I do this for nothing.

In Germany, a man must make
enough money during a war.

So between wars
he does not get hungry.

- But we don't have any money.
- Who wants money?

After the first war, I went with
basketful of money so big

and I come back with
one bread so small.

Gold...is much better.
Those rings.

Now, what do you have?

Any gold teeth
that come out? No?

No.

- Not much. It's alright.
- When do we go across?

15 minutes after 6 o'clock.

You set your watch
exactly like mine.

No gold, but makes
the right time.

Now...it is exactly

3 minutes to 4 o'clock.

Thank you.

Now, you study the map that
you know it like your own hand.

When I come back,
I will test you.

Komm, Elsa.

Heil Hitler.

Normandy.

Schack!

So...it was
Normandy, huh?

'No, no.'

Why should I
take you back?

There would be
questioning

which could be embarrassing
for me, huh.

'Your dear friend
Gerber is dead.'

It will be easy to blame him
for it all, huh.

And you two...you
were trying to escape

'and I had to shoot you.'

Quick, we take him
to the fence.

So that's how
he found out.

Let's hang him
over the top.

Now under there,
fast!

Go, go, go.
Fast!

'Ernst!'

This is your car.

You will be taken
to the American Embassy.

As a refugee, you must be taken
to an internment camp.

They're quite different
from the ones you know.

Goodbye. Good luck.

- Thank you.
- Goodbye.

Goodbye. Thank you,
from the three of us.

Anna...I suppose the embassy
will sneak me back to London

but...I'll try to come
see you before I leave.

Please do.

I'm sorry.

- Bye, Anna.
- Goodbye.
