I don't know.

Give it here.

Urgent top priority.

Leave your guns behind and...

Heil Hitler.

Your name?

Soldier Max Bletcher, 5th Company, sir.

How long have you been with the 5th? Just a week, sir.

At ease.

It's amazing, General.

An extraordinary likeness.

This soldier's the absolute spitting image of General Rommel. Sounds

Heinz. If you're right, he'll render a great service to our Germany.

I'm right.

They could pass as twin brothers, General.

This means I'll be able to tell Himmler he can go ahead with this project.

Very good work indeed, Heinz.

Tomorrow I want to have a look at this soldier.

What was that name again?

Max Fletcher, Fifth Company.

General Rummel, what can I do for you?

Nothing, General Himmler.

This interview was your idea.

You wanted me, and I had to put off other things to get here. Ah, yes,

right. It was me who asked for you.

Admiral Canaris, you are the chief of espionage, so

would you like to put us all in the picture?

Certainly, a pleasure.

We have in our hands five Americans who were sent here for an extraordinary

operation.

A difficult operation.

Their objective?

To capture General Rommel.

That's absurd.

An operation like that would never stand a chance.

Not even with a battalion.

In any way, what would be the point?

You have prestige.

Too much prestige.

So for the enemy, you're an important person.

I imagine they were hoping to set you up with a government of your own.

Leader of the opposition in exile?

I don't like the inference.

I was inferring nothing. Calm down.

Let's start things moving, Canaris.

Hello, Sergeant.

Give me the officer of the watch.

Magda.

Leave the room, please.

Captain Jurgens.

Pass the following to all checkpoints.

Immediately.

Search every corner. They can't have disappeared.

Hurry up!

Too many to lose.

Right on the button.

Come on now. Now.

Right now.

Hurry up! Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Hurry up!

Take off your coat.

Quickly.

I am Major Harvey, serial number 149883.

I demand to be treated as a prisoner of war under the rules of the Geneva

Convention.

Major Harvey, we all admire the way you're holding out, but wouldn't it be

easier just to tell us everything now?

I assure you we have really convincing methods that will break you, Major.

I am Major Richard Harvey.

149 -883.

What is the meaning of this, Himmler?

How nice to see you, General.

But it's none of your business.

Oh, yes, it is.

This man is an ordinary soldier and must be treated as a normal prisoner. And

then a damn spy.

These are things we will one day have to answer for to the whole world, Himmler.

My dear Rommel, I intend to find out why the enemy wants you alive.

I wonder why, General, you perhaps could give me some idea.

You will not leave, General?

That's an order.

Let's get on with it, Canaris.

Carry on.

Good evening, General.

It's amazing, don't you agree?

From this moment on, gentlemen, you are to think of and treat the prisoner as if

he were Rommel.

And follow your instructions exactly.

Yes, sir.

What the blazes is this idiocy?

What's going on between you and the Americans? They're not Americans.

our secret service.

The real commandos were captured well over a month ago.

The operation that the Americans started has succeeded, as they will soon find

out.

But now, General, you won't talk with Eisenhower.

You will just murder him.

I'll complain directly to the Fuhrer. I won't have murder attached to my name.

He has already given his blessing.

Now, don't heal badly.

You will be well protected.

We better allow them a few more minutes.

Then we'll have to give the alarm.

It's a pity that the Fuhrer likes complicated plans.

Personally, I feel that for a simple assassination, it's far too complex.

It's not all that difficult, Admiral.

Just someone to pull the trigger.

It's not a question of assassination.

It's the killing of an enemy.

Germany's at war as a nation, not as a band of gangsters.

My dear.

Still murder.

Though it's disguised as war, Admiral Canaris. You are not a man of honor.

And you, instead, are all honor.

Give me Arnon.

Close your eyes for a second.

Take it easy.

Afraid I might go and pass out on you?

I'm willing to bet a thousand marks on who's going to break first in this

operation.

Let's see how confident you are. Well, what about it, fellas?

What's the use?

When the time has come, then we'll all die.

Together.

What is it?

Just vitamin B12.

From now on, I am your prisoner.

I'm your worst enemy.

Hans, notify headquarters at once. Here.

They're coming for us now. Let's get out of here. Come on.

You'll never find them in here. Shut up.

Go and get reinforcements. You ought to follow me.

Give me the pliers Hey sisters Hold it there all of

you up against the wall with your hands on your head

Come

on don't stand there gaping

quick into the truck

You're part of the resistance now the sisters of mercy the rules say we have

carry machine guns get in and hurry Thanks sister forget the pleasantries

get the hell into the truck And

keep your eyes open, please

We may come up on one of their road patrols somewhere along the way

My plan will save the Reich.

But to ensure success, you must carry it through to perfection.

The Allies are preparing a massive invasion for the continent, and we must

prevent it.

We must prevent it at all costs.

And that, gentlemen, will depend on you.

By killing their commander -in -chief, General Eisenhower, you will give our

Secret Service the time it needs to find out where the invasion will take place

and on what. date.

If you succeed in your mission, you will have contributed to Germany's victory

more than anyone else.

Any questions?

Thank you, gentlemen.

These are the American commanders of the kidnap team.

Each one of you will make a careful, highly detailed study of the man you are

going to be replacing.

His method of speaking, his movement, peculiar habits, how he thinks, the food

he likes.

How long he's fought in the war, how he ties his shoelaces, whether he prefers

blondes, etc.

Moreover, gentlemen, we can supply you with accurate documentation on each one

of them.

Fortunately, in this age of science, we are able to enter a man's mind and

rearrange it in practically, well, any way we want.

Therefore, with hypnosis, we will be able to imprint your minds with the

personalities of these others.

And you will react spontaneously in exactly the way that they would. Your

personalities will be buried.

Who are you?

Richard Harvey.

Harvey.

Harvey.

Richard Harvey.

I am Richard Harvey.

Where were you born?

On New York

Avenue.

In the city?

Yes. Which street?

6th Avenue.

Plastic surgery has advanced enormously in the past five years.

Our specialists can now copy a face in its minutest detail, down to every

pore and line.

I am Richard Harvey.

Are your parents alive?

Yes.

In Dallas.

You studied at Yale, right?

Yes.

As soon as I graduated, I came to Europe to take an art course at

the Sorbonne.

I was there for two years.

And then, and then the war started.

That's not me.

It can't... Oh, God!

It's not possible.

Not possible.

No.

No, don't. No.

Don't worry, he didn't get away.

If you're looking for the key... Come on.

So, today's a holiday and we're having a fancy dress ball.

Still, if you want to get out of France, you'd better do something.

What are you trying to say?

General Rommel's pretty well known.

In uniform, you won't get far with him.

We'll have to chance it.

I'll see to it.

I must get in touch with my base.

Do you have a radio?

Or some means of communication. Sure. No, we don't.

Let them take the lorry and clear out.

They're not our problem, Claude. You're out of your mind, Nicole. They're

Americans.

Americans or Germans, what does it matter?

As outsiders, they know better than any other invader. Shut your mouth, Whitney.

You're completely mad, Nicole.

The Americans are here fighting for our liberty, our freedom. Come on, don't be

an idiot, Madeleine.

They're here for their own ends. Liberty's got damn all to do with it.

you're wondering why they like you.

They'll like any romantic fools who work for them for nothing. That'll do,

Nicole.

They are here to help us. Why are they asking help from us then? They need to

borrow radio.

So the Americans need to borrow radio.

What is wrong with that, Nicole?

Oh, nothing. Not a thing. Let's make her a present of it. Be still. I'll take

the responsibility.

He's my fiancé, Nicole.

Now you're thinking between your legs. You bitch!

Shouldn't we do something?

No, wait.

They often fight like that.

They tear you to pieces if you interfere. They'll be all right.

Until then, you may as well get some rest.

You'll find food and places to sleep in the house.

Thanks. It wasn't just for you. What now, Richard?

Didn't you hear Claude?

Well, you're big enough to take care of yourselves.

You don't mind if Richard isn't around to tuck you up and kiss you goodnight,

you?

Now you can relax.

I'm not Richard Harvey.

I already knew that.

I don't get it.

Not true.

And there's no point in making a mystery of it. You see, I know much more about

this than you imagine.

Then why haven't you given me away to the others?

I work as an agent for German espionage. And I'm here to help you out.

I know that you're on a special operation.

And I know that it was our secret service in Canaris who created Richard

Harvey's personality in you.

But I don't know why they did it.

There isn't much more to tell.

I had orders to give you as much assistance as I could.

Madeline.

Why, then, are you acting as if I were the real Richard Harvey?

Would you rather I didn't?

You're very beautiful.

We're at war.

And war is death, and you're making me feel that I want to live.

You're making me feel exactly the same way.

And after all, we're fighting the same war.

The car and bottles are ready.

How much gas? 20 gallons and a full tank. I think... Shh!

I've got a contact.

I've got a reference.

1 -9 -0 -7 -3.

Reference 1 -9 -0 -7 -3.

I repeat, 1 -9 -0 -7 -3. Over and out.

That's where they are, Captain.

Right there.

Get on to Colonel Sona.

The B will land twice on the fourth rose.

Does it mean anything to you?

You can hang up.

and they're closing in.

Bastards.

This is their work, Claude.

The radio.

It had nothing to do with us. Don't believe it.

Traitors. Hold it!

Claude!

You dog!

Get the jeep and bring it here. I'll get the others. This way.

Brian, hold the tank. We need ten minutes.

Claude's waiting around the back.

Nicole!

hell are you doing are you out of your mind they'll blow us to bits but the

american said that you american that son of a bitch sold us out to the germans

come on i want to catch that bastard

Richard! Richard!

Over there!

Let's close, bud. Let's move.

Thank you.

do you think this is a cheap stick to the road look at them

Bye.

Thank you.

Help me!

Hold on, Jeremy.

I'm coming.

You could have pulled him up if you'd wanted and that makes you a murderer.

Maybe I could have saved him under different circumstances.

I'd say you're the one who killed your friend when you put these handcuffs on

me.

It's all yours.

Go on in there

Sit

up

Hey, there's some coffee here.

Give me some water, Madeline.

Why is it that when one is near death one always feels the need for love?

There is only tonight.

And tomorrow the plane arrives.

I must show our position with the bottles of gas.

Everything must go as planned.

Down to the finest detail.

As soon as we get to London, the double will ask for a meeting with General

Eisenhower.

The request will be granted.

And before he leaves, I will give him the weapon, a dagger.

No one will suspect me then.

But afterwards, afterwards when the mission is finished, we'll be finished.

Like Jeremy and the other.

Maybe one day these absurd barriers between nations will fall and people

just be people.

That day, God willing, we'll see the end of man's inhumanity to man.

I'm sorry about disturbing your rest, but it wasn't possible to speak with you

earlier.

Thank you for your thoughtfulness.

But I wasn't sleeping.

It's impossible with that sentry crashing about outside.

He's not there now.

You'll sleep well for the rest of the night.

With such a beautiful woman in the room, Madeline, sleeping is the last thing

I'd be thinking about.

How gallant.

You're surprised, didn't you think, that there were any gallant generals?

No. That is, if you're referring to German generals.

Right down the line?

Yes, right down the line.

Except that... Except what?

That there are two other possibilities.

And they are?

The German in question isn't a general.

The second?

That the general isn't a German. Well, as I hypothesize, they're quite

brilliant. You've got a brain as well as a beautiful face, haven't you?

I'm sorry, General, but you're blocking up the wrong tree.

I did not come here to indulge in a bedroom battle.

Your virtues all of a sudden.

I'm afraid I don't like girls who involve themselves in war.

KB -3 to stable base.

The plane will be here this evening.

It'll get here.

So you said.

Check the gas.

Then we'll set the bottles along the strip.

It's hot enough to fry an egg.

Here, cool your face off and forget about the plane.

Get the bottle of gas.

I'll bring in a grenade.

We can't maneuver in this. Get out and take them from behind.

Looks like the 4th of July down there.

No strip markings, anyway.

Call London. Tell them it's all balled up and we're reporting.

Roger.

We're getting out.

All we can do now is make for the coast.

Yes, but I'll be all right.

Do you mind if I walk in front?

Go ahead.

I know this is pretty rough on you.

Is it better like this?

I'm okay, thank you.

It can only be an hour or two more until we reach the coast. How do you feel?

Please, I don't want you to worry about me all the time. I'm all right.

Whatever you want.

War is a dirty business that destroys everything.

Richard, think about this a moment. If you saw a fire that was destroying

everything, would you hesitate to put it out just because it cost a lot to life?

Firefighting is not my job.

But the war won't be finished until it's over inside us.

Maybe it's too late.

He's not important anymore.

The main thing is that we stay together.

Don't try that again.

I was looking for a good place for us to spend the night.

What's the matter?

I was thinking that everything's been miserably useless.

It's not your fault.

But they put me in charge of everything.

It was my mission.

You're beginning to sound like a soldier.

Actually, I am one.

And I still have to report to my headquarters.

One day you'll take off that uniform.

And then we'll... But of course, that would depend on whether you love me or

not.

Madeline, you're the only woman I've ever loved.

Richard, we must get away.

Let's escape before it's too late, my dear.

There has to be a corner of the world where no one will find us.

We will leave together.

I promise you.

But not right now.

Don't you believe in me?

I'm sorry.

I didn't want to wake you up.

Liar.

That's true.

I'm a liar.

But these are the last moments of happiness that we probably have left.

Are you too tired?

Not for you, darling.

KB3 to Sable Base.

KB3 to Sable Base.

Do you read? Over.

Sable Base to KB3. Reading you loud and clear. Go ahead. Over.

Roger, Sable Base. First part of message follows.

The Falcon is meeting with the cat at 6 p .m.

Second part follows.

The feathers are white.

What's the matter?

The radio. Quick.

What happened?

That man's an American agent.

You didn't hurt him, did you? No.

I've got to counter his message.

Don't, Richard.

Leave the radio alone.

Richard, you promised me that we would leave here.

Please, let's go now.

What the hell has gotten into you?

We're at war.

Richard, if you'll renounce your war, then I'll renounce mine. I haven't got

time to discuss it. Your war is mine anyway.

No,

Richard. Your war is not mine.

You're a pie.

I'm sorry, my dear.

You've been lying to me.

You're worse than he is.

You're worse than a... Richard, leave it, please.

Leave the radio alone.

Richard, don't turn it on.

Richard!

do is to save him suffering. We can't stay around this place very much longer,

so he'll suffer alone.

Adeline, let's get out of here.

Stop fooling about.

We've got to hurry if we're going to meet up with that submarine.

I'm not going.

He should have lynched Adam on his day of birth.

Here, you'll probably need this.

Thank you, Captain Arnold.

Thank you for remembering my almost forgotten name.

And to you.

Stretch out your leg.

Could be, uh, wrong?

Damn it, yes.

Adam was a pretty good guy.
