1
00:00:01,540 --> 00:00:06,170
- Xavier, don't do that!
- We will shave them all!

2
00:00:07,380 --> 00:00:09,370
Get on!

3
00:00:19,820 --> 00:00:22,010
Hands up, jerks!

4
00:00:42,820 --> 00:00:46,410
A FRENCH VILLAGE

5
00:01:23,620 --> 00:01:26,080
THE PROCESS

6
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:36,290
They could blow everything up
within a radius of one kilometer.

7
00:01:36,460 --> 00:01:40,530
- We owe it to the young man.
- He wanted to save his skin.

8
00:01:43,620 --> 00:01:47,330
I am surprised to see you.
It was as if you were no longer the head of the Resistance.

9
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:53,770
I called my friend
Anselm. His experience is useful to us.

10
00:01:54,580 --> 00:01:59,890
- We have serious problems to solve.
- Starting with the militia pigs.

11
00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:03,930
- We are not transferring them to Besancon.
- I gave my word.

12
00:02:04,100 --> 00:02:10,650
You were wrong. Our boys don't want them
let them out of school alive.

13
00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:14,970
- Did your guys sabotage the trucks?
- I don't comment.

14
00:02:15,420 --> 00:02:18,850
Threaten the representative
the provisional government?

15
00:02:20,380 --> 00:02:24,340
I want the skin of the miserable.
All the partisans are on my side.

16
00:02:24,500 --> 00:02:28,090
- I confirm.
- I don't. I don't agree.

17
00:02:29,220 --> 00:02:31,090
You're breaking the law, Anselme.

18
00:02:31,260 --> 00:02:34,210
If justice is outside the law,
the law is stupid!

19
00:02:34,460 --> 00:02:36,770
Let's find a solution.

20
00:02:39,060 --> 00:02:42,130
- When are the trucks ready?
- Only tonight.

21
00:02:44,660 --> 00:02:48,850
If we don't transfer the militiamen,
we have to do something here.

22
00:02:50,100 --> 00:02:53,370
- What?
- A court martial.

23
00:02:55,780 --> 00:02:58,570
- Another jam.
- Wait.

24
00:02:59,980 --> 00:03:03,690
- Including the death sentence?
- Of course.

25
00:03:03,860 --> 00:03:07,850
- You promised them a trial at Besancon.
- The context has changed.

26
00:03:09,420 --> 00:03:13,380
- Mr. you will lead the process, right?
- I'm a prefect, I can't get involved.

27
00:03:14,620 --> 00:03:16,970
But I name the 3 judges.

28
00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:21,690
I propose that you preside
court martial.

29
00:03:26,460 --> 00:03:29,490
- And when would it happen?
- Today, if possible.

30
00:03:32,260 --> 00:03:37,170
Assume your responsibilities, Anselme.
Judge, if that's what you want.

31
00:03:37,940 --> 00:03:42,450
- You will see that it is not simple.
- Okay, I accept.

32
00:03:43,780 --> 00:03:48,410
- And who will be the prosecutor?
- Does CDL have any proposals?

33
00:03:48,940 --> 00:03:53,730
- I'm ready to take on my role.
- Okay, you will be a prosecutor.

34
00:03:54,060 --> 00:03:56,930
See, I do more
than to consult you.

35
00:03:57,180 --> 00:04:00,570
- The other two judges...
- I call them.

36
00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:05,050
- Antoine, you will be one.
- Me?

37
00:04:05,780 --> 00:04:10,610
- He is young to be a judge.
- I consider him justified.

38
00:04:13,940 --> 00:04:17,050
- I accept.
- And we need another woman.

39
00:04:17,420 --> 00:04:21,130
The general wants their role
in Resistance to be appreciated.

40
00:04:21,900 --> 00:04:26,890
- A woman?
- Marie is gone. I don't see who...

41
00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:30,970
- Suzanne Richard.
- We don't know.

42
00:04:31,580 --> 00:04:35,540
The first woman in the local Resistance,
November 1940.

43
00:04:35,940 --> 00:04:42,130
- I wasn't here.
- We set the hearing at 4 p.m.

44
00:04:43,100 --> 00:04:46,450
The next point? We don't discuss
all day about the Militia.

45
00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:49,810
I prepared the list
notorious collaborationists.

46
00:04:50,100 --> 00:04:55,650
- This is not how we rebuild France.
- But it is the priority.

47
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:58,810
The priorities are supply,
health.

48
00:04:59,060 --> 00:05:01,130
- We are ready to take over the tasks.
- Who?

49
00:05:01,300 --> 00:05:04,130
- CDL.
- Perfect.

50
00:05:04,340 --> 00:05:07,850
I am in charge of the supply
and with the houses.

51
00:05:08,140 --> 00:05:11,530
- Wait a minute...
- Install permanence in the school.

52
00:05:12,140 --> 00:05:17,450
Get some help and you'll be fine.
Are we having the ball?

53
00:05:17,660 --> 00:05:21,130
- Tonight!
- Posters will be put up in the city.

54
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:24,490
We have to get musicians.

55
00:05:36,540 --> 00:05:40,500
- How beautiful it is!
- Yes, it's nice.

56
00:05:46,020 --> 00:05:49,570
Everything went to hell.
It's your fault, boule!

57
00:05:50,700 --> 00:05:54,130
Cloth! Coward!

58
00:05:54,780 --> 00:05:57,890
- That's it, Xavier!
- Mr. you would have left me

59
00:05:58,780 --> 00:06:02,890
Maybe. But what would it be used for?
to jump in the air?

60
00:06:03,660 --> 00:06:09,010
But is there any point now? we are
like fish in the market, half dead.

61
00:06:16,420 --> 00:06:19,450
- Do we have any chance at trial?
- You, maybe.

62
00:06:23,300 --> 00:06:26,650
It's over for me.
For you...

63
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:30,850
I don't know.

64
00:06:31,700 --> 00:06:35,010
A court martial here
it will be tough.

65
00:06:36,700 --> 00:06:41,210
The young, who did not kill,
they have a chance.

66
00:06:42,580 --> 00:06:45,330
- Will we have a lawyer?
- Definitely.

67
00:06:45,900 --> 00:06:48,410
But I don't know if it will be useful.

68
00:06:49,100 --> 00:06:53,090
When we judged the maquisards,
the lawyers were...

69
00:06:53,260 --> 00:06:56,010
Do you remember the trial from February?

70
00:06:56,220 --> 00:07:00,930
When they caught themselves sitting on
their own coffins, what faces they had!

71
00:07:01,380 --> 00:07:03,970
Some peed on them.

72
00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:11,090
And I sang "Internaţionala" to them.
I learned the lyrics all night.

73
00:07:13,380 --> 00:07:19,130
Arise, ye poor of life,
You, condemned to hunger, up!

74
00:07:20,140 --> 00:07:26,130
Let rebellion boil in hearts,
Let the old world sunset begin!

75
00:07:30,500 --> 00:07:32,530
What times!

76
00:07:37,780 --> 00:07:40,570
Are you afraid of death?

77
00:07:42,180 --> 00:07:48,330
Not. I would prefer to live longer
a bit, normal, but...

78
00:07:49,820 --> 00:07:53,930
The wheel of fortune has turned.
I accept that.

79
00:07:56,100 --> 00:08:01,970
I can't accept it
that I will disappear altogether.

80
00:08:02,380 --> 00:08:05,050
- You're going to lose your skin.
- Shut up!

81
00:08:06,060 --> 00:08:09,840
I killed people!
After the boss, I drink first.

82
00:08:10,540 --> 00:08:15,660
You, with your damn face,
you only threatened.

83
00:08:17,020 --> 00:08:22,690
I have a few days left to live.
Do you spare me your nonsense?

84
00:08:25,180 --> 00:08:31,010
- I want to confess.
- We'll ask for that. They will accept.

85
00:08:31,300 --> 00:08:36,320
- Who, the Bolsheviks?
- Beriot is a Gaullist. We will have a priest.

86
00:08:37,700 --> 00:08:44,610
Boss... how can it be
that God may not be with us?

87
00:08:45,860 --> 00:08:48,210
Why do you say that?

88
00:08:52,260 --> 00:08:54,690
I lost!

89
00:08:57,060 --> 00:09:01,100
Maybe it's an attempt
sent by God.

90
00:09:07,540 --> 00:09:10,570
- What are you doing?
- He wanted to blow everything up.

91
00:09:10,780 --> 00:09:14,210
He will be tried separately,
by a military court.

92
00:09:16,060 --> 00:09:19,450
A court just for me!
What luck I have!

93
00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:26,530
Come to the great fight,
Slave to slave let us unite,

94
00:09:27,620 --> 00:09:32,820
And the International
Let's make it through us!

95
00:09:47,820 --> 00:09:50,250
I found you!

96
00:09:52,060 --> 00:09:54,570
- I'm a judge because of you?
- No.

97
00:09:55,820 --> 00:10:00,050
De Kervern convinced you
that a woman's place is in the kitchen?

98
00:10:00,540 --> 00:10:02,690
- Don't you like to cook?
- Yes!

99
00:10:02,940 --> 00:10:06,820
I make a great meat stew
of sheep. I used to do it when I had meat.

100
00:10:07,340 --> 00:10:09,290
You make me hungry!

101
00:10:11,260 --> 00:10:13,450
- Surprise!
- Chocolate?

102
00:10:14,180 --> 00:10:17,090
I got it from an American non-commissioned officer.
Jimmy.

103
00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:20,610
He invited me to the table,
I told him I'm not free.

104
00:10:20,940 --> 00:10:24,170
You are not, we have to protect them
the militiamen.

105
00:10:26,060 --> 00:10:29,810
I wanted to drop by Gerard's,
to hold Christine accountable.

106
00:10:30,660 --> 00:10:34,700
I don't think it stayed there
after pouring us.

107
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:42,010
Yes, she must have carried herself, the rascal.
But I want to pursue it.

108
00:10:43,100 --> 00:10:45,970
- Are we going?
- Antoine...

109
00:10:48,980 --> 00:10:51,770
It doesn't seem strange to you
that we will be judges?

110
00:10:52,820 --> 00:10:56,780
- Together we have the majority.
- If we agree.

111
00:10:58,060 --> 00:11:01,130
Death to assassins,
prison for the rest.

112
00:11:01,660 --> 00:11:05,490
I don't know. We don't judge
before the hearing.

113
00:11:08,380 --> 00:11:12,930
- Do we have to go right now?
- We are on call.

114
00:11:14,740 --> 00:11:17,490
I had to accept the invitation
Jimmy's.

115
00:11:18,780 --> 00:11:21,930
- We have our whole life ahead of us.
- Life is short.

116
00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:27,610
Come!

117
00:11:31,580 --> 00:11:35,360
- Are these all the lanterns?
- Everything I found, Mr. Director.

118
00:11:35,940 --> 00:11:39,690
- Mr. Prefect...
- I'm still the school director.

119
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,060
- Very good.
- And the music?

120
00:11:44,260 --> 00:11:47,970
Grandpa Andre comes with the accordion
and with his sister.

121
00:11:48,260 --> 00:11:51,730
- Beat the butter?
- No, sing.

122
00:11:52,180 --> 00:11:55,370
- He sings well, I hope.
- First prize at the Conservatory.

123
00:11:55,540 --> 00:12:00,530
- He was a courier in the Resistance.
- So she is the ideal singer!

124
00:12:02,060 --> 00:12:05,490
We need a gas order,
housing requisition

125
00:12:05,660 --> 00:12:07,770
and police power.

126
00:12:07,940 --> 00:12:11,690
For gasoline, only cars
accepted by us.

127
00:12:12,140 --> 00:12:13,890
see the list.

128
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:20,690
Perfect. Add Edmond,
the CDL president, otherwise he gets jaundice.

129
00:12:21,020 --> 00:12:23,740
- Or measles.
- But he doesn't have a car.

130
00:12:23,940 --> 00:12:27,850
Just. It costs us nothing
and we have to win. System B.

131
00:12:29,060 --> 00:12:33,890
For the requisition of housing
we need the list of collaborators.

132
00:12:34,980 --> 00:12:40,050
And the deported Jews.
Some had nice apartments.

133
00:12:42,060 --> 00:12:46,170
But they will return.
We hope so, at least.

134
00:12:47,500 --> 00:12:52,850
But not very soon.
The camps are in Germany, Poland.

135
00:12:54,060 --> 00:12:58,930
It will be months before they return.
The emergency is the near future.

136
00:13:01,820 --> 00:13:05,250
Better not. Make the list
collaborationists.

137
00:13:05,420 --> 00:13:09,850
- Above the lanterns!
- The strings are short, Mr. Direc...

138
00:13:11,180 --> 00:13:14,570
What do we do with the police?
The police stations are empty

139
00:13:14,740 --> 00:13:19,810
and the members of the Resistance claim
imagined powers.

140
00:13:20,140 --> 00:13:24,690
There is talk of the patriotic militia.
They arrest the collaborators.

141
00:13:24,900 --> 00:13:28,780
At the moment I have to
to rely on CDL, unfortunately.

142
00:13:31,100 --> 00:13:34,930
Make a note for Edmond.
We need 10 armed men,

143
00:13:35,100 --> 00:13:39,410
with armbands with GPRF written on them,
no CDL or anything.

144
00:13:39,700 --> 00:13:45,490
- Did you call me? who is sick
- Nobody. That's not why I brought you.

145
00:13:45,900 --> 00:13:49,570
Hector, don't forget to invite them to the ball
the American officer.

146
00:13:50,100 --> 00:13:52,290
I invited him, he is coming.

147
00:13:52,700 --> 00:13:55,370
It's formidable.
He was my secretary in Algiers.

148
00:13:55,540 --> 00:13:57,930
i am tired
How can I help you?

149
00:13:58,780 --> 00:14:02,530
You know the militiamen
will they be judged?

150
00:14:03,500 --> 00:14:05,810
Rumors are circulating.

151
00:14:06,260 --> 00:14:10,140
The judges and the prosecutor were
name. The hearing starts at 4 p.m.

152
00:14:10,780 --> 00:14:13,610
- And?
- They need a lawyer.

153
00:14:15,700 --> 00:14:19,580
- Don't be serious!
- Only you can do this well.

154
00:14:20,180 --> 00:14:23,960
I'm not a lawyer and I hate the Militia!

155
00:14:24,700 --> 00:14:30,010
Everyone wants their skin, it's like a lynching.
I had to court-martial,

156
00:14:30,260 --> 00:14:35,250
but i want a fair trial
and you are a humanist.

157
00:14:35,500 --> 00:14:38,730
You have shown that you care
the fate of fellow men.

158
00:14:39,060 --> 00:14:42,570
I will pay all my life because
did i try to limit the damage?

159
00:14:42,740 --> 00:14:46,130
You were pro-Vichy, then you
distant You are the ideal defender.

160
00:14:46,300 --> 00:14:50,180
I don't want to defend myself
or attack anyone!

161
00:14:50,700 --> 00:14:53,730
Help me restore
the rule of law.

162
00:14:53,900 --> 00:14:56,770
The militiamen have the right
to be defended.

163
00:14:57,940 --> 00:15:01,330
- Half didn't do much.
- I don't care!

164
00:15:01,620 --> 00:15:04,610
They just have to crack,
as they say now.

165
00:15:05,780 --> 00:15:09,530
- Did I express myself clearly?
- I thought you were more generous.

166
00:15:10,180 --> 00:15:12,610
War changes people,
Monsieur Beriot.

167
00:15:12,860 --> 00:15:18,140
A shy school principal becomes a
prefect who seizes houses.

168
00:15:18,580 --> 00:15:20,610
And what have you become?

169
00:15:24,940 --> 00:15:29,210
- A lonely and tired man.
- Do you know that Hortense was arrested?

170
00:15:31,180 --> 00:15:36,130
With Muller. I don't know where he is
but she will be transferred here.

171
00:15:41,700 --> 00:15:44,090
You're offering me a deal, aren't you?

172
00:15:45,220 --> 00:15:49,370
Hortense's freedom in exchange
participation in the mock trial.

173
00:15:50,100 --> 00:15:54,370
Not at all. I can't guarantee you
the release of Hortense.

174
00:15:55,380 --> 00:15:58,650
- She will be judged.
- And Lucienne?

175
00:15:59,900 --> 00:16:02,250
Are you welcome?

176
00:16:04,900 --> 00:16:09,090
It shelters a German officer
in your house

177
00:16:09,460 --> 00:16:11,810
- And she will be judged?
- Shut up!

178
00:16:12,780 --> 00:16:19,410
Why would Hortense be more guilty?
Because Muller is higher in rank?

179
00:16:19,620 --> 00:16:21,810
Okay, let's talk straight.

180
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:27,080
I can lighten up considerably
Hortense's punishment.

181
00:16:27,260 --> 00:16:31,220
Instead, I only ask for a few hours
in which to defend some people

182
00:16:31,380 --> 00:16:34,170
and the principle of democracy
reinstated.

183
00:16:36,420 --> 00:16:40,490
You can even defend your own
decisions in front of the locals.

184
00:16:49,700 --> 00:16:54,490
- So you consulted Kurt?
- He was a sick person like all the others.

185
00:16:55,980 --> 00:16:59,690
- Does he have a chance to escape?
- It would be better to die.

186
00:16:59,900 --> 00:17:03,050
I think your wife didn't hear me.

187
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:08,280
Larcher, I need an answer
regarding the process.

188
00:17:16,260 --> 00:17:19,450
You guarantee that Hortense
will he get a light sentence?

189
00:17:19,620 --> 00:17:23,500
Symbolic repudiation and imprisonment
with suspension at worst.

190
00:17:24,260 --> 00:17:26,610
He doesn't have blood on his hands.

191
00:17:28,060 --> 00:17:30,290
If you don't keep your word,

192
00:17:30,580 --> 00:17:34,730
I will shout throughout the city
your guest's name

193
00:17:35,980 --> 00:17:38,130
You have my word.

194
00:17:40,100 --> 00:17:43,980
You have to prepare the defense
in a few hours. Talk to them.

195
00:18:16,780 --> 00:18:20,410
- I'm looking for food for my son.
- Good idea.

196
00:18:21,780 --> 00:18:24,610
- Can you help me?
- No.

197
00:18:26,380 --> 00:18:30,490
- You handle the supply, right?
- Come back tomorrow or the day after.

198
00:18:31,740 --> 00:18:34,610
- The child is hungry now.
- We have nothing.

199
00:18:35,140 --> 00:18:38,130
So what does your committee do?

200
00:18:42,380 --> 00:18:44,450
- Do you live in Villeneuve?
- No.

201
00:18:45,540 --> 00:18:49,320
I am a Belgian Jew,
refugee in France

202
00:18:49,580 --> 00:18:53,490
arrested by the Germans and I escaped
with life at the station in Seurre.

203
00:18:54,140 --> 00:18:59,930
I regret from the bottom of my heart. But we deal with it
only by residents of Villeneuve.

204
00:19:04,260 --> 00:19:07,610
If I were you would give him food
my son?

205
00:19:07,820 --> 00:19:12,450
No, but you could fill in
the form to receive aid.

206
00:19:13,420 --> 00:19:16,850
- Do we have forms?
- A comrade copies them by hand.

207
00:19:17,380 --> 00:19:19,730
We have membership forms.

208
00:19:21,580 --> 00:19:25,770
Maybe there is a solution
to receive supplies.

209
00:19:31,260 --> 00:19:34,050
What do you think?
about the Communist Party?

210
00:19:35,140 --> 00:19:39,020
- None in particular.
- There are many Jews in the party.

211
00:19:40,140 --> 00:19:43,050
my problem
are dairy products.

212
00:19:43,220 --> 00:19:47,180
If you join, you can appeal
to the solidarity between comrades.

213
00:19:47,620 --> 00:19:52,250
There are comrades who have cows, goats
or do they smuggle?

214
00:19:52,540 --> 00:19:54,970
You are mean.

215
00:19:55,180 --> 00:19:58,130
Give me milk and I'll stick to it!

216
00:19:59,700 --> 00:20:03,850
You are too materialistic
to join our cause.

217
00:20:06,060 --> 00:20:10,170
Honey, I'll find something to eat
i promise you

218
00:20:15,020 --> 00:20:18,610
- I don't understand.
- Keep calm, it will happen.

219
00:20:19,300 --> 00:20:21,890
- Stop thinking.
- Aren't you angry?

220
00:20:22,180 --> 00:20:26,060
- We have our whole life ahead of us.
- You said she was short.

221
00:20:26,260 --> 00:20:31,210
Not even like that.
You just need to relax.

222
00:20:32,540 --> 00:20:36,530
- Finally! We've been here since 10.
- Sorry, high level meeting.

223
00:20:36,700 --> 00:20:38,970
Near the top!

224
00:20:42,060 --> 00:20:45,570
- I want to pee. Not just me.
- It is not foreseen.

225
00:20:46,340 --> 00:20:50,970
- We can't let them do it.
- Why not? They are miserable!

226
00:20:51,140 --> 00:20:55,250
Not! It's embarrassing.
And if it stinks, we all suffer.

227
00:20:56,180 --> 00:20:58,850
You stay here and we'll take them
to the toilet.

228
00:20:59,060 --> 00:21:01,650
- They are militiamen.
- They are human beings.

229
00:21:01,820 --> 00:21:05,600
- They are dangerous.
- We take them one at a time.

230
00:21:06,540 --> 00:21:08,690
Stay here with Suzanne.

231
00:21:11,980 --> 00:21:13,610
Come!

232
00:21:24,740 --> 00:21:27,890
It amuses you
that I'm your prisoner, right?

233
00:21:29,540 --> 00:21:34,050
I often think of that day in the woods,
when I left the Resistance.

234
00:21:34,740 --> 00:21:38,210
- You didn't join the Militia for nothing.
- Yes, almost.

235
00:21:38,380 --> 00:21:43,690
Did you kill two kids by accident?
I was in the barn, I saw everything.

236
00:21:44,580 --> 00:21:47,040
So you saw that I didn't want to do it.

237
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:54,050
I saw you in the little girl's room
in the closet and I didn't say anything.

238
00:21:55,220 --> 00:21:59,000
I am a court martial judge,
I can't discuss.

239
00:21:59,540 --> 00:22:04,090
I saved your lives, you
your girlfriend and the people at home.

240
00:22:06,340 --> 00:22:08,980
The toilets are there.
Go quickly.

241
00:22:20,460 --> 00:22:24,050
Albanian!

242
00:22:26,180 --> 00:22:29,050
What are you doing here?
I said stay at grandma's!

243
00:22:29,260 --> 00:22:32,970
- While you risk your life?
- You can't help me!

244
00:22:34,500 --> 00:22:37,330
I can help you defend yourself,
to find a lawyer.

245
00:22:37,500 --> 00:22:41,690
Think of yourself! You will have
trouble if they find out you're my sister.

246
00:22:42,300 --> 00:22:46,930
- Why are you waiting so long?
- I have the right to two minutes!

247
00:22:47,180 --> 00:22:51,010
- There are ten of you! I have work to do.
- read immediately.

248
00:22:54,780 --> 00:22:58,820
The grandmother puts the inheritance at stake
from grandfather to have a good lawyer.

249
00:22:58,980 --> 00:23:03,450
They named Larcher.
Anyway, I have no chance.

250
00:23:04,340 --> 00:23:08,690
- Don't say that!
- It's true.

251
00:23:10,940 --> 00:23:15,330
We all made mistakes.

252
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:18,770
I killed two children, Genevieve.

253
00:23:21,380 --> 00:23:26,370
Brother and sister. 7 and 9 years.

254
00:23:28,820 --> 00:23:32,250
I shot them with the gun.

255
00:23:35,260 --> 00:23:40,490
- I can't believe it!
- The little girl had taken her brother in her arms.

256
00:23:43,540 --> 00:23:46,450
He watched me until the last moment.

257
00:23:47,700 --> 00:23:51,450
When I close my eyes I see her.

258
00:23:55,860 --> 00:23:59,530
I don't think so! You invent.

259
00:24:02,500 --> 00:24:05,220
You say that to...

260
00:24:07,460 --> 00:24:10,180
Thank grandma.

261
00:24:15,820 --> 00:24:18,170
And look at me.

262
00:24:30,820 --> 00:24:33,050
Lucienne!

263
00:25:04,140 --> 00:25:08,370
I'm Jules. I would like to talk.
No, I want to talk!

264
00:25:23,220 --> 00:25:25,450
Lucienne?

265
00:25:47,900 --> 00:25:50,570
Bună ziua, Kurt.
Mă recunoaşteţi?

266
00:25:54,340 --> 00:25:56,530
does it hurt

267
00:26:05,780 --> 00:26:07,850
Asta vreţi?

268
00:26:10,060 --> 00:26:11,850
The pencil.

269
00:26:29,260 --> 00:26:32,770
That's not the case. Mie îmi pare rău
to see you in this state

270
00:26:33,860 --> 00:26:37,970
now that the war is over.
Aici, cel puţin.

271
00:26:55,980 --> 00:26:59,290
"Help me... to die."

272
00:27:04,580 --> 00:27:07,330
You know I can't do that.

273
00:27:18,860 --> 00:27:21,650
- Ce faceţi aici?
- Vă căutam.

274
00:27:22,820 --> 00:27:25,570
- Sunt acasă la mine.
- La noi.

275
00:27:26,500 --> 00:27:28,810
La amândoi, să zicem.

276
00:27:29,740 --> 00:27:33,130
- Can we talk in private?
- Now?

277
00:27:34,340 --> 00:27:37,730
I told you I was in a hurry,
am multă treabă.

278
00:27:42,700 --> 00:27:46,170
Rest, I'll be back
în două minute.

279
00:27:59,340 --> 00:28:03,850
He was feeling better, but now
he is tired He needs rest.

280
00:28:04,020 --> 00:28:07,770
- I don't care what you do with it.
- No?

281
00:28:10,020 --> 00:28:14,410
I found out that Larcher knows.
who else?

282
00:28:15,380 --> 00:28:17,370
No one.

283
00:28:18,380 --> 00:28:22,420
It's your life, but I won't let you
ruin my career.

284
00:28:22,700 --> 00:28:26,580
- I'm not doing you any harm.
- I want to be mayor of Villeneuve.

285
00:28:27,100 --> 00:28:31,450
- It is important for everyone.
- You will be a good mayor.

286
00:28:31,780 --> 00:28:37,850
Thanks for the reassurance, but
the situation cannot last forever.

287
00:28:41,780 --> 00:28:44,730
As soon as he recovers,
Kurt will leave.

288
00:28:48,260 --> 00:28:50,490
And you?

289
00:28:54,060 --> 00:28:57,410
I don't want to talk about it.

290
00:28:59,700 --> 00:29:02,370
you will help me
at the organization of the school?

291
00:29:02,820 --> 00:29:08,810
- Of course.
- Find my garlands and chairs.

292
00:29:09,660 --> 00:29:12,220
You can find me in the banquet hall.

293
00:29:19,220 --> 00:29:21,250
Next!

294
00:29:29,260 --> 00:29:34,250
I can't believe I see you.
I'm Ezekiel Cohn.

295
00:29:34,820 --> 00:29:40,690
We were all here in July '42.
You were with your mother.

296
00:29:41,700 --> 00:29:45,170
Yes, I remember.
Your wife...

297
00:29:46,900 --> 00:29:49,570
excuse me, I didn't mean to.

298
00:29:52,740 --> 00:29:57,370
- What's your name?
- Sophie. And him?

299
00:29:58,700 --> 00:30:01,050
David.

300
00:30:01,980 --> 00:30:05,490
- Where is his father?
- Sophie, don't ask people like that!

301
00:30:05,660 --> 00:30:07,930
But how?

302
00:30:10,260 --> 00:30:15,130
- Have you been hiding in Villeneuve?
- No, I arrived by accident.

303
00:30:16,380 --> 00:30:20,650
- And where will you go now?
- I don't know.

304
00:30:22,620 --> 00:30:25,530
- You have relatives somewhere, right?
- No.

305
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:28,730
No family,
no friends, no past.

306
00:30:29,820 --> 00:30:35,170
- No future, I think.
- But you have the baby in your arms!

307
00:30:38,660 --> 00:30:41,690
I can't even make ends meet
food for him.

308
00:30:42,860 --> 00:30:46,530
- I can help you.
- No, thank you.

309
00:30:47,420 --> 00:30:51,530
- No strings attached.
- There are always obligations.

310
00:30:54,620 --> 00:30:59,900
Sometimes miracles happen.
After I escaped from here in '42,

311
00:31:00,740 --> 00:31:04,620
I was arrested with Sophie
on the edge of the city.

312
00:31:05,700 --> 00:31:09,970
They took us to the central police station,
at Marchetti.

313
00:31:11,020 --> 00:31:15,490
He was not a humane type.
He was in charge of arresting the Jews.

314
00:31:17,420 --> 00:31:20,890
That's what they say
"the butcher of Villeneuve".

315
00:31:22,900 --> 00:31:27,490
I had embarrassing fake documents
and he told me that he knew who I was.

316
00:31:29,700 --> 00:31:34,170
I thought it was over
that he would send us with the others.

317
00:31:35,980 --> 00:31:37,970
But no...

318
00:31:40,180 --> 00:31:44,770
He spoke to me about God
and let us go.

319
00:31:47,380 --> 00:31:50,450
He also advised us
how to cross into Switzerland.

320
00:31:51,980 --> 00:31:56,330
Every day
I wonder why he did that.

321
00:32:00,420 --> 00:32:06,570
- I think it was a miracle.
- I no longer believe in miracles.

322
00:32:07,460 --> 00:32:10,330
i believe Otherwise we wouldn't be here.

323
00:32:10,740 --> 00:32:14,170
- They all have a meaning.
- A meaning?

324
00:32:15,380 --> 00:32:19,850
- God sees everything we do.
- So it's worse than I thought.

325
00:32:20,340 --> 00:32:24,530
- Don't you believe in God?
- I would believe it if it rained milk.

326
00:32:26,780 --> 00:32:30,850
A guy sells contraband
behind the school.

327
00:32:31,820 --> 00:32:35,490
I don't know if he has milk.
Sure, you need money.

328
00:32:36,700 --> 00:32:39,010
Thanks for the information.

329
00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:46,290
I wish you good luck,
you and Sophie.

330
00:32:48,140 --> 00:32:53,770
- Good luck, Rita! That's your name, isn't it?
- Yes.

331
00:35:10,500 --> 00:35:15,170
We put everything aside,
so they can dance.

332
00:35:18,420 --> 00:35:21,730
Grandpa Andre and his sister, Mathilde.

333
00:35:22,380 --> 00:35:25,020
Jules Beriot. Delighted!

334
00:35:25,860 --> 00:35:30,880
So you will make us dance
on this historic day. Thank you!

335
00:35:31,180 --> 00:35:33,930
- The pleasure is on my side.
- What are you singing to us?

336
00:35:34,660 --> 00:35:38,250
Pre-war tunes,
waltzes, java...

337
00:35:42,260 --> 00:35:44,690
And the most important...

338
00:36:03,300 --> 00:36:06,130
I was speechless.

339
00:36:07,980 --> 00:36:11,940
- Thank you!
- We feel the release!

340
00:36:12,660 --> 00:36:17,450
Mathilde is in high demand
at balls. The world is beating on her.

341
00:36:18,980 --> 00:36:21,970
It's terrible. Find an excuse.

342
00:36:23,620 --> 00:36:27,730
Ma'am, I was told
that you were a heroine of the Resistance.

343
00:36:28,020 --> 00:36:31,800
Yes, I drove 30 women
from the Notre-Dame network.

344
00:36:31,980 --> 00:36:37,100
- They listened to me with sanctity.
- Then you can't sing tonight.

345
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:42,610
The orders are clear: no members
of the Resistance does not go on stage.

346
00:36:42,820 --> 00:36:45,130
The risk of an attack is too high.

347
00:36:45,380 --> 00:36:48,930
La Mossey, a network boss
he was devoured on the stage

348
00:36:49,140 --> 00:36:51,600
by the Militia dogs.

349
00:36:52,420 --> 00:36:57,010
Looks like it stayed
only the right shin of it.

350
00:36:57,740 --> 00:37:00,850
- God!
- Right tibia...

351
00:37:01,660 --> 00:37:05,850
- What a shame! I couldn't wait.
- Me too.

352
00:37:07,380 --> 00:37:11,090
maybe next year
when will there be no more danger?

353
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:13,450
Of course.

354
00:37:13,620 --> 00:37:16,730
- You are a hero.
- But we don't have music.

355
00:37:16,940 --> 00:37:21,930
At least we don't have Mathilde.
Get me a phone line.

356
00:37:22,180 --> 00:37:27,090
I have to notify the commissioner at
Dijon that we are judging the militiamen.

357
00:37:33,380 --> 00:37:36,130
The collaborator!

358
00:37:39,740 --> 00:37:41,650
Leave them!

359
00:37:44,420 --> 00:37:47,650
- Let Mr. Servier go.
- He's a collaborator!

360
00:37:48,300 --> 00:37:52,650
- I have an agreement with the CDL president.
- Put them somewhere!

361
00:37:54,980 --> 00:37:57,050
Victor, bring him the shoe.

362
00:37:58,140 --> 00:38:00,050
Judge Them!

363
00:38:05,860 --> 00:38:10,130
This agreement, signed by the head of CDL,
guarantees fair treatment.

364
00:38:10,980 --> 00:38:12,530
Go ahead.

365
00:38:12,660 --> 00:38:15,690
- He's going to run away.
- I could have left a long time ago!

366
00:38:16,260 --> 00:38:20,730
I accept his facts. I'm ready to be
judged, but not treated unworthily.

367
00:38:21,380 --> 00:38:24,890
The Vichy police were not exactly gentle,
Mr. Servier.

368
00:38:26,220 --> 00:38:28,970
Miserable by Marchetti
he killed mom!

369
00:38:29,140 --> 00:38:33,020
- I have no fault.
- A rather quick answer.

370
00:38:34,340 --> 00:38:37,090
Take them home, without violence.

371
00:38:37,980 --> 00:38:41,090
To be fed and left alone.
He will be judged.

372
00:38:41,660 --> 00:38:44,120
- Do you swear to me?
- Yes. Take them from here.

373
00:38:50,460 --> 00:38:53,530
CDL has to give us people
for the police.

374
00:38:53,740 --> 00:38:57,730
Edmond says everyone is busy.
I don't know with what.

375
00:38:57,940 --> 00:39:00,970
Put pressure on us
before the trial.

376
00:39:08,620 --> 00:39:11,180
- I have emotions.
- Me too.

377
00:39:11,540 --> 00:39:13,770
I shouldn't have accepted.

378
00:39:20,700 --> 00:39:23,010
Ask them to be quiet.

379
00:39:23,460 --> 00:39:26,100
Silence in the hall!

380
00:39:27,500 --> 00:39:29,890
Prefect Beriot will speak.

381
00:39:30,460 --> 00:39:34,500
I thought that political power
and the judiciary are independent.

382
00:39:34,660 --> 00:39:39,170
- That's what it says here.
- Yes, the general cares about that.

383
00:39:39,340 --> 00:39:42,490
I only express myself because the hearing
it hasn't started yet.

384
00:39:42,660 --> 00:39:46,440
I want to tell you how important
is this process

385
00:39:46,620 --> 00:39:49,570
the first after release
the city of Villeneuve.

386
00:39:50,820 --> 00:39:53,930
Those on the banks are accused
of serious acts.

387
00:39:55,020 --> 00:40:00,890
We have three indisputable judges,
a prosecutor and a defense lawyer.

388
00:40:01,340 --> 00:40:03,730
Larcher is a collaborator!

389
00:40:07,620 --> 00:40:10,490
I ask you to control yourself!

390
00:40:10,900 --> 00:40:13,540
I named Mr. Larcher

391
00:40:13,820 --> 00:40:17,090
and I ask you to respect
defense rights.

392
00:40:21,460 --> 00:40:25,210
The Republic, expelled from France
for 4 years, he regains his rights.

393
00:40:26,900 --> 00:40:31,010
Attending this hearing,
I'm excited

394
00:40:31,180 --> 00:40:36,010
like a birth, or rather
a revival. Of democracy.

395
00:40:36,940 --> 00:40:41,850
I conclude, by virtue of separation
powers, mentioned here.

396
00:40:42,060 --> 00:40:44,930
Long live the Republic!
Long live France!

397
00:40:47,820 --> 00:40:50,280
You have a telephone connection
in 20 minutes.

398
00:40:59,620 --> 00:41:02,730
I declare it open
the court-martial meeting!

399
00:41:03,940 --> 00:41:07,010
Mr. Prosecutor,
read the indictment.

400
00:41:07,340 --> 00:41:09,900
- Thank you, Mr. President.
- Excuse me!

401
00:41:10,700 --> 00:41:14,970
You did not specify your marital status
of the accused. It is mandatory.

402
00:41:15,180 --> 00:41:19,490
I was getting to that.
It is a separate process.

403
00:41:21,100 --> 00:41:24,650
14 accused, who committed
the same crimes.

404
00:41:25,780 --> 00:41:29,010
Terrible, unforgivable crimes.

405
00:41:29,220 --> 00:41:32,410
To the gallows!

406
00:41:34,180 --> 00:41:40,570
Mr. President, order the room
if you want us to have a court.

407
00:41:46,220 --> 00:41:49,770
We want to finish as soon as possible.
We all think the same.

408
00:41:50,020 --> 00:41:54,010
Until the verdict is given, silence!
Go ahead, lawyer.

409
00:41:54,580 --> 00:41:56,770
No, he is a prosecutor.

410
00:41:59,100 --> 00:42:01,820
Are you guys deaf?

411
00:42:02,620 --> 00:42:05,810
Silence or we'll kick the public out!

412
00:42:05,980 --> 00:42:09,530
The first to roar wins
a kick in the ass from me!

413
00:42:09,700 --> 00:42:15,410
Clear? you don't have the floor.
Only the lawyer can speak.

414
00:42:18,420 --> 00:42:23,570
- Continue.
- The accused committed the same crime.

415
00:42:24,980 --> 00:42:27,370
An obvious crime,
as I will demonstrate.

416
00:42:28,500 --> 00:42:32,490
To gain time
and for lack of means,

417
00:42:33,820 --> 00:42:36,410
I propose to judge them
as a homogeneous group,

418
00:42:37,540 --> 00:42:40,810
without going into details
everyone's deeds.

419
00:42:41,020 --> 00:42:46,040
You violate the principle of individualization
punishments, the basis of French law.

420
00:42:47,660 --> 00:42:50,250
These are empty words. Explain.

421
00:42:50,460 --> 00:42:53,610
- What a beautiful democracy!
- Quiet!

422
00:42:54,580 --> 00:42:59,410
I am a man of the people, not a judge.
Let the people express themselves!

423
00:43:07,980 --> 00:43:10,570
So what is that principle?

424
00:43:13,660 --> 00:43:16,010
Individualization of punishments.

425
00:43:17,220 --> 00:43:22,500
A man is judged for what he has done,
with his past and circumstances.

426
00:43:24,180 --> 00:43:28,770
They cannot be put in the same pot
Alain Blanchon, head of the Militia,

427
00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:33,850
and Victor Mardani, who enlisted
15 days ago. He just wore the uniform.

428
00:43:37,580 --> 00:43:40,690
- What do you think?
- He's right, of course.

429
00:43:41,260 --> 00:43:44,570
But we don't even have time
by a detailed process.

430
00:43:44,740 --> 00:43:48,410
This type of process prepares,
investigation is being done.

431
00:43:48,580 --> 00:43:52,410
We have nowhere to keep them,
what to feed them.

432
00:43:52,660 --> 00:43:55,850
We cannot judge them together,
it would be a shame.

433
00:43:56,140 --> 00:44:01,610
- We can't linger.
- We're not going to complicate our stupid lives.

434
00:44:02,100 --> 00:44:04,290
Please!

435
00:44:05,660 --> 00:44:08,120
We waste our feet in the ass!

436
00:44:09,900 --> 00:44:13,330
We will study each file,

437
00:44:14,060 --> 00:44:18,250
but I limit the time to 15 minutes.

438
00:44:18,500 --> 00:44:20,650
It's scandalous!

439
00:44:21,660 --> 00:44:26,010
Here it says that the president of the court
set the procedure.

440
00:44:26,940 --> 00:44:30,650
If you don't like it, resign.
I will appoint a lawyer from the public.

441
00:44:34,340 --> 00:44:37,090
- Let's continue.
- Perfect.

442
00:44:39,260 --> 00:44:42,450
It's 4:20 p.m.
Accused Alain Blanchon,

443
00:44:42,620 --> 00:44:46,690
born March 23, 1899,
stand up

444
00:44:49,900 --> 00:44:52,170
Prosecutor!

445
00:44:55,940 --> 00:45:00,170
Sir, you have committed
dozens of crimes.

446
00:45:00,380 --> 00:45:03,490
- I didn't commit any crime.
- You don't have the floor!

447
00:45:04,020 --> 00:45:06,170
If you address me, I answer.

448
00:45:06,540 --> 00:45:09,650
Don't complicate things,
tell me your idea.

449
00:45:11,180 --> 00:45:13,610
Have you committed no crime?

450
00:45:15,660 --> 00:45:21,370
March 3, 1944. The execution
of 6 maquisards, with their eyes out.

451
00:45:23,580 --> 00:45:25,970
One was buried alive.

452
00:45:27,900 --> 00:45:31,610
May 2. Killing by drowning
of Gilles Durand and his wife,

453
00:45:31,780 --> 00:45:34,290
with his hands tied with wire.

454
00:45:35,740 --> 00:45:40,090
June 9. Six Jews are shot
on the side of a road.

455
00:45:40,300 --> 00:45:45,290
The militiamen wrote on a cardboard:
"I received kosher meat".

456
00:45:46,380 --> 00:45:48,810
After that they abandoned the bodies.

457
00:45:49,660 --> 00:45:53,850
August 3. Martin Simon,
raped, with a crushed skull.

458
00:45:54,540 --> 00:45:57,690
- I wasn't there.
- But the others were.

459
00:46:01,180 --> 00:46:05,770
two days ago
the massacre of the Vernet family.

460
00:46:07,860 --> 00:46:13,250
It will be difficult to prove what you did
you personally in these horrors.

461
00:46:14,580 --> 00:46:17,650
If insisted
with the individualization of punishments,

462
00:46:19,460 --> 00:46:24,210
I will focus on the most recent one
deed of yours, which upset the city.

463
00:46:25,740 --> 00:46:27,730
The hanging of 10 hostages,

464
00:46:28,540 --> 00:46:31,530
including Marie Germain,
the head of the local Resistance.

465
00:46:31,700 --> 00:46:35,690
- The Germans decided the action!
- But you were present!

466
00:46:37,740 --> 00:46:42,050
- Yes, I was.
- Don't deny it, many have seen you!

467
00:46:45,260 --> 00:46:49,370
DI Blanchon does not deny.
He says he is not guilty of the action,

468
00:46:49,700 --> 00:46:52,610
which was decided
by an SS officer.

469
00:46:53,860 --> 00:47:00,610
So what was Mr. Blanchon doing there?
Was he out for a walk?

470
00:47:04,020 --> 00:47:06,480
We hear you, Mr. Blanchon!

471
00:47:07,420 --> 00:47:11,690
Why did you ensure order
during execution?

472
00:47:13,020 --> 00:47:15,930
- I ordered my people.
- And you?

473
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:27,170
Commander SS Schneider
he ordered me.

474
00:47:30,140 --> 00:47:32,730
We don't even need it
of 15 minutes.

475
00:47:33,620 --> 00:47:38,170
DI Blanchon admitted
the crime of collaboration with the enemy,

476
00:47:39,460 --> 00:47:43,170
punished by Article 75
from the Criminal Code.

477
00:47:43,700 --> 00:47:47,740
I ask without a doubt
death penalty!

478
00:47:59,820 --> 00:48:02,570
In the name of the French people,
i finished

479
00:48:04,420 --> 00:48:06,610
Mr. Larcher?

480
00:48:19,340 --> 00:48:24,460
Prosecutor, if I understand correctly,

481
00:48:26,020 --> 00:48:30,010
consider that submission
in front of a German officer

482
00:48:31,740 --> 00:48:34,130
deserves the death penalty.

483
00:48:34,300 --> 00:48:37,170
It is clear.
Read Article 75.

484
00:48:38,300 --> 00:48:41,450
I remind you that Marshal Petain,
head of state,

485
00:48:41,660 --> 00:48:47,810
signed in October 1940
cooperation policy with Germany

486
00:48:49,380 --> 00:48:52,890
and asked all the officials
to follow Him on this path.

487
00:48:53,060 --> 00:48:55,010
Where do you want to go?

488
00:48:55,220 --> 00:49:00,050
So all the policemen,
all officials,

489
00:49:01,380 --> 00:49:05,850
all the judges,
all the mayors of France

490
00:49:10,020 --> 00:49:14,730
they had to collaborate,
even submit to the Germans.

491
00:49:16,900 --> 00:49:20,610
To understand that everyone deserves it
death penalty?

492
00:49:23,420 --> 00:49:26,730
- I didn't say that.
- You didn't even have arguments!

493
00:49:30,940 --> 00:49:34,330
When the spirits will calm down,

494
00:49:34,580 --> 00:49:40,810
the country will judge the government
collaborationist, i.e. the marshal.

495
00:49:41,380 --> 00:49:44,850
- The marshal is a traitor to the country!
- This is your opinion.

496
00:49:45,700 --> 00:49:48,850
How long this matter
not decided by a court,

497
00:49:49,020 --> 00:49:53,130
you can't blame an official
that he obeyed the head of state.

498
00:49:54,820 --> 00:50:00,100
Without a serious investigation, you cannot
demonstrate Mr. Blanchon's participation

499
00:50:00,300 --> 00:50:02,450
to certain actions.

500
00:50:03,660 --> 00:50:06,300
And you can't blame them
that he submitted to the Germans,

501
00:50:06,460 --> 00:50:09,100
being subordinate to the head of state.

502
00:50:12,500 --> 00:50:16,690
I ask the judges
to declare themselves incompetent

503
00:50:18,060 --> 00:50:21,250
and to leave M. Blanchon
to be judged later.

504
00:50:38,660 --> 00:50:42,290
- Dijon. You have two minutes.
- I need more!

505
00:50:42,540 --> 00:50:47,290
In two minutes it will be interrupted
the connection. You've already wasted your time.

506
00:50:49,860 --> 00:50:52,580
- Beriot?
- Commissioner Lanzac?

507
00:50:52,940 --> 00:50:56,720
I'm glad to hear from you.
I feel a bit isolated here.

508
00:50:57,420 --> 00:51:00,930
- How is Villeneuve?
- Chaos.

509
00:51:02,460 --> 00:51:06,290
They are not resources, nor are they people
of order. We only have problems.

510
00:51:06,580 --> 00:51:11,010
Like everywhere.
Are the communists strong there?

511
00:51:11,980 --> 00:51:14,090
The CDL president is a communist.

512
00:51:14,260 --> 00:51:17,730
Yeah, like two-thirds
from departments.

513
00:51:17,980 --> 00:51:21,730
- Give them bones to gnaw on.
- I'm fine.

514
00:51:22,300 --> 00:51:26,340
- And the purge?
- I just started.

515
00:51:26,860 --> 00:51:30,570
- We arrested 14 militiamen.
- Good catch!

516
00:51:31,180 --> 00:51:35,450
I called a court martial,
and the hearing is now being held.

517
00:51:35,980 --> 00:51:40,570
- Court martial?
- Yes, on democratic principles.

518
00:51:41,140 --> 00:51:46,450
I don't care. I want the 14
in front of the firing squad.

519
00:51:48,020 --> 00:51:52,130
But I cannot ignore the verdict.

520
00:51:52,300 --> 00:51:56,890
In some cities, the Militia and the Germans
liquidate comrades in prisons.

521
00:51:57,180 --> 00:52:03,010
We need to send them a clear message:
if you don't stop, we answer the same.

522
00:52:04,020 --> 00:52:10,890
I want a truly martial court:
14 convictions and public executions.

523
00:52:14,140 --> 00:52:17,810
- And the independence of the judiciary?
- A nice idea!

524
00:52:18,460 --> 00:52:22,890
If you want to stay prefect,
liquidate the jerks, by all means.

525
00:52:23,260 --> 00:52:25,820
It's an order, Beriot!

526
00:52:34,820 --> 00:52:38,370
