Original subtitles

Oh, you're a fine bloke to leave in charge. - Yeah.

Here, look.

Is that all you could find? A turnip? - What do you think I'd find? A steak and kidney pudding?

Well it's down in regulations. Aircrew returning from bombing missions are entitled to bacon and eggs. - I know.

They'll be waiting for you when you get home.

Do you think we will? - Why not? Eat your breakfast.

Do you think the others are alright? - Look, just because there was a lot of noise, it doesn't mean they were caught.

It was more than just noise. There was shooting and then there was that damn great explosion.

Things always sound worse at night.

Did you see anyone out there? - Not a soul.

Just an old engine shunted into coal workings. - Kept me awake.

Sun will be up soon.

Yeah, nice day for escaping.

What do we do?

Find out where we are. Go out, look for a friend. Someone to help us.

Where's Max? He's not in his room. - I don't know.

Phone rang.

Must have been for him. I suppose he's gone out.

Oh, I wish he'd let me know where he is.

He's a big boy now. Anyway, it's none of our business.

Well it's Lifeline's business.

How am I supposed to contact him when I want him?

What's the time?

It's 6:45.

It was nearly four o'clock when those customers left. - I know.

I want to see Max when he comes in. - Yes Sir.

Escape kit.

Do you reckon it will work?

Do you know where we are? - Yeah, we're here.

Where's here? - This is the River Sambre.

We were heading for the Sambre when the skipper said bail out. Ahead of us was a town called Charleroi.

That's it. Now allowing for drift, I reckon we landed about here.

That's something they don't teach you at those lectures. Always bail out with your navigator.

This is the French border, just 20 miles.

Now I think the easiest way to get there is to find the river and that should be about four miles west of here.

We pass through a village and we come to the river at a town called Marchienne.

Down into France and then home. - With luck. - With luck.

Two Horlicks tablets. Try and make them last.

We'll be as slim as whippets.

Try this. - Can we get rid of these?

No, because if we do meet a friend, we'll need to prove who we are. Just cover it up.

How does this look?

Like you were born into it.

We'll head for the river. If we meet someone we like the look of, we talk to them.

Here we go.

Kessler. Who? Oh, put him through please.

Good morning, Herr Standanenführer.

No, we've had no report as yet. One Lancaster?

Who bailed out and on the run?

Where was this exactly? Near Charleroi.

And the pilot's been caught. When was...

Ah, and now a full scale search. Yes, I can assure you this will have my full support. Goodbye Sir.

How about this one?

It's the first one who's been on his own. Would you trust him?

Germans. That's all we needed.

We'll try Plan B. Find a village. Find a priest.

It'll be safer.

The SS are mounting a search along the River Sambre for the crew of a Lancaster. A full scale military search.

In their hurry to escape, the airmen killed an SS sentry guarding a railway bridge.

Where exactly? - Near Charleroi.

And there was sabotage on this railway line last night.

Then the guard was probably killed by the saboteurs. - He was killed by enemy airmen.

Airmen on the run don't usually carry to blow up railway lines.

I envy you this desire to be fair to your airmen Brandt, I really do, but the SS have no time for such courtesies, and nor do I.

Read these statements. They're by honest, reliable Belgians.

They saw the sentry challenge two airmen as they approached the bridge.

The third appeared behind him, killed him.

So, he was killed by airmen.

Three raids by the RAF on the Fatherland last night.

On Bremen, on Hamburg and on Leipzig.

The bombers returning from Leipzig would come this way.

All this is coal mining country and controlled by the communists.

There has been far too much sabotage in this area recently, and murder of our soldiers.

Do you think these airmen could have been helping the communists?

The reports say they were in uniform. They bailed out. They're on the run. - Yes, but they'll be looking for help.

You think they met up? - Yes, I do.

Anyway, one of the airmen was caught. We can ask him.

You're late.

You said come from Brussels urgently and you've blown up the railway. - Sorry.

It's because of that that I need you. - Your lad said it was urgent.

It is. Things are getting rather rough around here. - I saw some some street blocks. SS.

At the mention of communists, the SS go mad. Start stamping on everyone.

Street searches. House searches.

It's because of that, that we need you. We need some papers.

Two lads we collected when we did the railway.

Got some details. Age, height, color of hair.

And a couple of photos they were carrying.

RAF. When did you pick them up? - Last night. Their plane was in trouble and they bailed out.

It seems they were trying to cross the bridge when a guard challenged them. So they had to kill him.

Then they ran off and bumped into us. - And you want me to pass them on? - No.

One of them will make a good comrade. The one that killed the guard and he wants to stay with us.

He was the rear gunner. And anyone who knows anything about guns is welcome.

This one...? - Mike Harvey. Tough nut. Hates the Boche.

And this one Paul Mitchell? - They're pals. They'll both stay.

Well, we need trained men.

How's your own scheme coming along? - The Candide?

It gets easier every day. It could almost be anytime. - What have you found out?

The restaurant is financed from London. Well financed.

With permission to cater for senior German officers.

Result - It's become a smart restaurant and pricey. And Albert's become greedy.

And greedy men are vulnerable.

We need a base in Brussels, and this is it.

It would establish you. A cell of your own.

Yeah. That's right.

He's coming back.

Is there something you want my son?

Something I can do for you?

Yes Father. There is something.

We're RAF.

I can see what you are.

I have just given my word that you are not hiding in my church.

You must leave, now.

You won't help us? - No.

How can I after what you have done?

You have killed a German guard. An SS guard. - What?

You were seen my son.

It is not just the word of the German officer. You were seen by people of this village.

No, we haven't killed anyone.

Last night you parachuted from a plane that was in trouble.

This morning you were challenged by a guard, not 3 kilometers from here.

You killed the guard. - No.

One airman was caught. Another was seen to escape.

We are on our own Father. Believe us. We haven't met anyone. We came to you for help.

They're searching the village. They'll be here soon.

We are asking for your help. - And I cannot help you.

If you are found here, they will burn the village. If you resist, my people will be shot.

There is no place for you to hide. You must go away.

Alright.

I will pray to God that you get away safely. But if you are caught,

please, you spoke to no one in this village. - Sure.

In here.

Hello. I've got a present for Max. Alright if I go up? - You'd be wasting your time. He's not in.

Monique. We were wondering because Francois has a week off from classes and we were hoping...

Alright, I can manage.

Before you go, I take it the children are all on their way.

No, not all of them Albert. There's still one in Senlis, but that's because of a delay on the line to Paris.

A bombing? - No, the communists. They blew it up last night, so we have to wait until the line's repaired.

Yes, cut, repaired, cut again.

Do you want to see Max? He's here. - Thanks.

Max. I want a word with you.

I was looking for you this morning. - I'm sorry Albert. I do have other customers, you know?

Who? ... Yes, I'm coming.

Don't forget, I want a word. - Yes.

Hey Max, I've got something for you.

Some blanks for travel permits and identity cards,

and this. The stamp of the Feldkommandantur in Ghent.

Hey this is useful. Where did you get this? - Oh, a friend.

In the Kommandantur? - Well let's say a friend who has a friend in the Kommandantur.

And these? - Same friend.

This friend of yours, is he a student? - Oh come on, Max. Francois doesn't ask you your business and you don't ask him his.

OK, genuine stuff like this is worth rubies and a contact like this...

He isn't likely to get another chance. - Friends make chances if they're encouraged.

No Max. Come on Francois, we should go. - Alright.

Thank you, François.

Have a good day.

You were stopped by an armed guard. You had become prisoners. Being prisoners, you murdered your guard.

For that you cannot claim the Geneva Convention. There is no protection.

I'm complaining about being beaten and kicked by your soldiers.

You killed their comrade. What do you expect? The fact that you are alive proves that they showed more mercy than you did.

And more mercy than you showed to the women and children of Leipzig.

We bombed factories in Leipzig.

It was a terror raid on innocent people. - No.

So, you were in the raid on Leipzig? - Yes.

What was your target?

Engineering factories. - Our report says that only homes were destroyed.

We bombed factories as we were ordered to. - Were you also ordered to kill our sentries?

So you did kill a sentry? - No. - You did. - No.

Were you told of the killing? - Yes, by your soldiers.

All right. Now in your own interest, I ask you this, you say that when you were recaptured...

I was not recaptured.

You were. The Guard was armed. You were not, so you were his prisoner. You killed him and escaped. - No.

You are no longer protected. You will have no protection until you tell the truth.

Rennert. I want this man taken to the interrogation room.

Herr Sturmbannfuhrer. He's a Luftwaffe prisoner.

He's a prisoner of the Gestapo. He killed an SS guard.

In that case, I can take no further responsibility.

I'd rather you stayed. - You would?

In that case, you must answer my questions.

As aircrew evading capture, you were looking for help, yes?

Tell me how you found that help.

Table number 6. Four more brandies. What are they celebrating?

The retreat from Kharkov.

But they're losing in Russia.

Yes. - So why the celebration?

They think they're safe here in Brussels.

What is it? - Sssh

Germans.

A corporal and eight soldiers.

We'd better move on.

Can you smell it? - What?

Newly baked bread.

This place is a bakery.

We're supposed to be heading for the river. Keep your mind on it.

Me mind's in me stomach. It thinks me throat's been cut.

Aren't you hungry? - I'm starving.

It's open.

Can't we steal some? All right then, borrow some?

Let's have a look.

Do we call "Shop"? - And give ourselves up?

We were passing. We wondered if we could buy some bread.

With the curfew on, you were passing?

There's nowhere to run to.

Are you English?

So where are you going? - To the river.

You'll never make it. The Boche are everywhere looking for you.

They think that we killed a guard.

Close that door.

Did you? - No.

Come in here.

I know that one of your friends was caught. - Who?

He was sent to the Gestapo in Brussels.

Two others are saved. They are being looked after by the resistance at Thuin.

Do you know who they are?

No. Now if you're hungry, I'll get you something to eat.

It's daft, isn't it? - What?

When we go to a church, we're told to push off.

When we tried to steal his bread, we find a friend.

Hervé.

Do you think that's his name? - Yes, that's my name. Victor Hervé.

And what's yours? - Joe. Joe Walden.

Help yourself, Joe.

Who's that? - Oh that's my staff. Pierre.

He won't trouble you. Alright Pierre.

Well, now how long since you ate properly?

Monday, before the op.

Well, now that you're here, I'll try to help you.

But before I can ask for help, I must ask you some questions you understand? Check you.

Right now, what happened to you?

We bailed out coming back from Leipzig. - Oh yes, I heard about that. It was said on the BBC.

And where did your plane crash? - Someone near Charleroi.

What's this about a guard being killed by one of our lads?

Well, it's true. And because he was an SS guard they're looking for the lot of you,

and they found a lot of things they weren't looking for.

In the villages they have found six caches of arms and trapped 6 leaders of the resistance. Communists.

Beat them to death on the streets with a rifle. That's...

So you see you aren't very popular, my friends.

Does that mean you can't help us?

Now that you're here, I'll do my best. I can't promise, but I'll try.

But first, you must get rid of these uniforms. I'll get you something to wear.

I wonder who killed that guard. Would one of our lads do that?

Mike Harvey would if he was challenged. He's got a rotten temper.

Yeah. - Here, you can try these for size.

We have photos for identity cards. They're sewn into the lining. - I know it will be taken care of.

Pierre, take care of these.

What happens now?

I'm going to the SS.

No, no, you're quite safe.

It happens that for my sins I must bake bread each night for the SS and deliver it each morning to the local barracks.

You see, this is an occupied country and there are some things we must do if we want to live.

And you look very tired. Well, there's a room upstairs.

Pierre will show you that.

And while you are sleeping, I'll see what can be done for you. - Thank you. Thank you.

Morning Albert. - Morning.

Alain's had news of the bomber that crashed near Charleroi. - Yeah?

Well, it seems that one airman made his way to France and was picked up by our own people at Reims.

And two others have been picked up by Victor Herve in Marchienne.

Well, that only makes 3. - Well, they say one was found dead in the plane.

So there are still some missing. - Yes.

But perhaps Francois will find something out when he gets to the bakery at Marchienne.

You mean he's gone there on his own?

I wish somebody would tell me what's going on.

Well, these are the photos sewn into their uniforms.

Navigator. Rear gunner.

You're flying officer Thomas Miller?

And you are Flight Sergeant Joseph Weldon rear gunner?

Right, I'll need your squadron number, home airfield and something personal about yourself.

It's to send to London, so they can check and tell us that you are who you say you are.

I mean, it's not impossible for you to pick up an RAF uniform and sew a photo in is it?

Do we talk like we were Germans?

No, but it's London that has to accept you, not me.

They've already accepted one of you. - What, you found our skipper?

No, no, this one was picked up by our people in France, the bomb aimer.

Eddie. He's made it. He's been cleared by London, and he's on his way home.

Now he'll be waiting for us with a couple of pints. - Not if we can't check you out.

It's up to you.

Alright, we're with 103 Squadron.

We took off from Elsham Wolds.

Good, now something personal, something a German couldn't know.

That lass in the NAAFI. No German would know what we call her. - Bunny.

She's got rabbit's teeth.

Yeah, well, I won't mention the rabbit's teeth.

Victor, can you look after them while I confirm this, get things sorted out.

But you should take them out of here. - There are checkpoints everywhere. They've got no papers.

Oh well, they have a room upstairs.

Are these the only ones? - No, there are two more in Thuin.

Now when can I see them? - You can't.

They were picked up by a communist russo, and they have no dealings with us. - Why not?

I don't know why not. Ask them.

But I do know that's why there are checkpoints everywhere and why the SS are searching everyone in the streets and the houses

and why you can't take these two away from here.

An SS guard was killed my friend. And one of the airmen did it.

It wasn't us.

Why weren't we told? - Because I was too busy looking after these boys. There was no time.

You're going to have to give me a couple of days at least.

See you soon

Really? Your son is joining you here in Brussels. - Yeah. - Well that is good news.

Yes, alright, I'll be right with you.

Excuse me Sir.

You're late. - Well the trains are hopeless.

Those two over Marchienne. - Yeah, Victor wants rid of them.

He says the whole district's being searched because one of the other airmen killed a guard.

Oh no, that was stupid.

Anyway, here are the details of the navigator and the air gunner.

Two photographs, age, height so on. - Right. Just wait here.

Max, do you have a moment?

Those two are at Victor's.

Oh, usual London job. Same civilian suit. Same striped tie.

I should think the whole crew are wearing the same tie. They never learn do they? - Can you do something about it?

Oh yes, I can correct that.

Oh, another two are being looked after by this resistance group at Thuin. I could go and check.

No you stay with the ones we already have. - It's no trouble. I can see them when I go back.

No. We make no approaches to communists.

Papers for your friends.

I had some extra work to do. Apparently two of the same crew are hiding not far from here, at Marchienne.

Did you know that? - No.

Above the baker's shop, Herve. - I know the place.

Well if you want to take the heat off your own men, you could drop a word to the Boche.

From this moment, we're giving nothing to the Boche.

They found six of our weapons stores and killed six of our men in the street.

The weapons will be replaced. One of our comrades is coming from Lille to help us. He'll be here this afternoon.

Bringing the fight into the open... - As they're doing in France, in support of our comrades in the East.

These are very good.

Where are they, upstairs?

Rene will be very interested in this plan of yours for a base in Brussels. Can you stay over?

Well, Albert will expect me back this evening.

Yes, I'll stay.

Come on, make a move.

I wish I could.

How long do you think... - Keep your mind on the game.

What's that supposed to be? - That, as you call it, is Godowski's famous defensive gambit.

It wasn't very clever, was it? Look.

Check.

Hey do that again. - Why?

It can't be right? Do it again.

Well, your visitor has returned.

We've been in touch with London, and they want you home.

I've got your new identity papers here.

Right.

Now you are no longer Tommy Miller. You are now Michel Lemaire.

You were born in Namur. You're at the moment, unfit for military service, and you work for a firm of agricultural engineers.

I'm an engineer. - Oh, it just means you go around trying to sell farm machinery. There isn't much of it about.

I've got some brochures here showing what you sell.

There's your identity card, your disablement certificate,

your work permit and your travel permit to go around selling this stuff.

Do you need a permit for everything? - You'd be surprised.

Now learn your new name, your address, where you were born,

and study those.

You are no longer Joseph Walden. You're now Jean Mansell.

Also born in Namur, you work for the same firm as a trainee and assistant to Mr. Lemaire.

Now listen. If we're stopped by the Boche and if they think they found something wrong,

get them to phone that number and the company will say you work for them. It may help.

Where will you be taking us? - To Brussels,

to get proper traveling clothes and some money for the journey and a friend to take you on your way.

You can't just bail out and race for the Pyrenees. - We learned that.

When do we leave?

Er, Victor, the two hiding at Thuin. London wants to know about them.

Then London must find out for themselves. - Why can't we do it?

Because these people don't work with us. They are russo on their own

linked with Lille and the FTP. - The what? - Francs-Tireurs et Partisans.

Communists. So they're reds! - These are not your pale pink University lads.

They're hardcore activists. Revolutionaries. Leave them alone.

I'm going to see them. - Look, my friend, you are asking for trouble.

The SS are searching for these airmen. The Reds are hiding them. The Reds are good at hiding things.

Stay out. - Why?

Because the Boche are looking for all of you, and if they find your friends are hiding with the reds,

they will beat their brains out on the cobblestones. And yours, if they find you. And mine!

Have these men at Thuin an escape line? - No. - Then I must see them.

Why not? - Because if you want something from the Reds, they will make demands of you. Big demands.

Money or guns. - They can't. I have no money or guns.

Will you help?

Well, I can give you an address. That's all I can give you. But first you must phone Albert.

I'll phone him.

The address? - Rue Dansaen, 14.

You will go there and ask for Phillipe. I know no more than that.

You'll phone Albert? - Yes, I'll phone him.

We were able to replace about half the arms we've lost to the SS.

If it's not enough, you'll have to find the rest from other sources. Preferably, the SS themselves.

Here's a list of what we can get to you.

Now that the Comrades of the Red Army have started their offensive,

it's up to us to keep the Boche pinned down here in the West. You must make full use of these arms. - We shall.

Later, the British and Americans will do it for us.

But we must start it. And it must be known that we started it. That we are the true resistance.

Not only will you attack communications, you will attack the Wehrmacht as we're doing in France.

This is the moment to make our claim. To have our voice heard when peace comes.

Is that alright? - Yes, comrade.

Max here's got something to tell you. He's got a plan for establishing a base in Brussels.

I now work for an escape line. I'm a forger.

I know what you are. I know where you are.

It's called Lifeline. Started by a girl who was killed.

Yes, that's right, and it was taken over by one of the helpers, Albert Foiret. That was about seven months ago.

Now Anglo Americans, who finance the escape line,

accepted the change without question. They need the line.

So, if Foiret was to disappear, another handover would be natural.

A handover to you?

Well, I'm the most experienced of the group and being a forger, the most useful.

Also, I'm known and trusted by London. - I'm told this Foiret has a mistress.

If there's trouble, they will fall together.

And this...trouble?

Well as a cover for their activities, the restaurant has special permission to cater for senior German officers,

to buy them the best food and the best wine.

There have to be some strange deals. Now a word at the right time... - No. - No?

Such things are far too important to be done out of our control. You're offering us a headquarters. - Yes.

Then plan decisively. Can you have him killed? - Yes.

Could you handle it yourself? - Well it might be...

Could you handle it? - No trouble.

Make it so.

Once that's done, you would take over this organization? - Yes.

What would we have?

We would have a headquarters in Brussels. A radio operator in contact with London.

Access to funds,

and an organization all the way down to the Pyrenees that obey the code name Yvette.

Would London send arms?

No, but they will send money. And with money we can buy recruits.

What you have in mind could be very useful.

It will make you a hero.

Good luck, comrade.

Well now. Are you going to let me see this new recruit?

Oh, yes, of course.

Excuse me, Monsieur. - Yes.

I've come from Marchienne. - So?

I'm looking for Phillipe.

I know of no Phillipe.

I was given the number of this house. Number 14.

I know the number of the house monsieur, but I do not know you, and I know of no Philippe.

Max?! What a bit of luck. Your friend here was just trying to turn me away.

You have beat me to it. - It's alright Philippe.

If you'd just wait in there I'll be with you soon. - Alright.

Who is he? - Lifeline. - What is he doing here? - Looking for the airmen.

Then you've got a problem on your hands.

We'll give him the other one. - Okay.

Are they here? - Yes.

How did you find out? - Well, I was asked to make some identity papers for them.

Lifeline's not the only customer for my talents, Francois. Seems there's not enough of us to go round. - Of course.

This is Paul Mitchell. He has his papers so you can take him any time you wish. - Paul.

I was told there were two. - Yeah. I think first you should ask Paul if he wants to go home.

Do you? - Can I get home?

That's why I'm here.

I'd like to go.

Where is the other one? - Ask him.

Oh, Mike won't go. - Mike?

Mike Harvey. He wants to stay here. He's amongst friends.

Friends? - Well, I don't think he fancies a long walk over the Alps with the risk of being caught.

He hates the Boche. He wants to stay here with Philippe and, and fight from here.

But Paul, he wants to go home. - I'd still like to see this Mike Harvey.

He isn't here. He was our rear gunner. He knows all about guns. He's gone off to show his comrades how to shoot Germans.

Well, I'll make arrangements for moving you out.

Can he stay here till I fix something? - Sure, he can stay until you're ready. Sit down.

Who's been helping you? - No one.

Did you come here on your own from Brussels?

Yes, I tried to phone Albert, but the lines are down. - Well you can thank Philippe and his men for that.

It is more trouble to the Boche than to you monsieur. Already they're repairing them.

Have some wine. - Thank you.

If you're on your own, perhaps I can help you.

We could put our friend on the train for you if you tell me where he goes and when.

Tomorrow, to Marchienne.

No trouble. We'll put him on the morning train. If you can arrange for somebody to meet him. Yourself perhaps?

I'll meet him.

Thanks.

Why don't you two just talk things over?

Max and I will discuss some of the details. - Back soon.

What are you gonna do about him? - Let him go back to Brussels. I can deal with him and Foiret there.

I don't want him to go back to Brussels. He knows too much. He's see me and he's seen Rene.

Foiret must be dealt with soon. This one must be dealt with before he gets back. - Alright.

That is your job.

Yes. Yes, I understand. We'll expect you on Friday. - Francois?

No, Monsieur Dupont He can't deliver your order today. It's alright, he will be here on Friday.

Well has Francois phoned? - No.

Well he knows is supposed to report in. - Albert, he's young.

He wants to prove to us he can do it by himself

Monsieur. - Natalie. Come in.

But you look so tired. Traveling is no fun these days.

No. There were three diversions in total. - I know, it's terrible.

Well you go inside and I'll make you some coffee. That will revive you.

Oh, how nice.

Is Francois here? - No, he's gone to Thuin. - Thuin?

To see some airmen who are there. - Why?

You must ask him when he gets back, but first, coffee.

And what brings you back to Marchienne? - I came here to get Francois.

Oh, and I brought tickets for the airmen for Brussels. Where are they?

Oh, they've been taken for a walk on the riverbank. Stretch their legs. It's not good to keep them cooped up too long.

Are they complaining? Oh no, no,

they're very nice boys. I like them very much indeed.

That's more than I can say for your Francois. - Why?

Well, he's a very stubborn young man. - Oh no Victor, he's a determined young man.

You can trust him, and he'll make a very good courier. - Well that may be, but he's also very stubborn.

Look, I warned him against going.

Oh well, I was wrong. He's come back safely.

Hello. - Hello. - Come to check up on me? - Of course not.

Well, if you're not checking on me, why did you come?

Well you have a break from University and we were to spend it together, remember?

You didn't phone. - It wasn't easy to phone.

Did you try? - No.

You've been to Thuin Francois. And Albert said, you were not too.

And London said they wanted information. Anyway, there was no trouble.

One of the airmen's coming here tomorrow. Is that alright?

I've got all the details for London and he already has his own papers.

The other one wants to stay with the communists. Can he do that?

I suppose so. We can't send him back in chains.

It means I now have three to send on. Not bad for a beginner.

You say he already has his own papers? Are they good papers? Did you check them?

Excellent papers, they were made by Max.

Max Brocard? - Why not? he's in great demand. He was there delivering them.

Max was with the communists? - And what happened?

They're sending our man by the morning train.

I asked what happened. You went to Rue Dansaen, you knocked on the door. They offered you the airmen? - Correct.

And what bargain did they make? - None.

Look, I don't know who this Max is... - One of us.

but I knew the Russo at Thuin give nothing for nothing. They lost heavily in the SS searches. They make bargains.

One airman is staying. If you call that a bargain. - That's not what I meant.

Oh safely back. - Hello.

Now this young lady is going to help you to get safely home.

I'm Joe. - And we move on tomorrow with a friend of yours. - Who? - Mitchell.

Paul Mitchell? How is he? - Fine.

So it's tomorrow?

Yes. Only one more night of wolfing my bread and perhaps tomorrow I shall have enough to sell.

Kessler. Oh put the call through, please.

Yes, this is Sturmbannfuhrer Kessler. Who is this?

Aha.

Then what is it you want?

Where is this place?

Marchienne, just outside Charleroi.

The RAF evader you'll be looking for will be on the morning train from Thuin.

Yes, that's right.

He'll have false papers? I see.

Who will be collecting him?

Description.

Age 24

Height 1 meter 85.

He'll be armed and dangerous.

So warn your men, won't you?

Thank you, monsieur. If you'll now give me your name, there could be a reward.

As you wish. Goodbye, monsieur.

What was that? - News of one of the airmen.

The informer gives no name, but I think I've heard the voice before.

Rennert, put me through to the police station at Marchienne.

I think this is the lead we're after.

And that's the lot.

And what time do you collect your evader? - He'll be on the morning train.

Oh, that's a local. Gets in at 10:30. Would you like me to come to the station with you?

No it's alright Victor, we're going together. - No.

I'm going alone. - Why? I'm here, I can help you.

There's no need for two. No.

I made these arrangements by myself. I want to collect him myself.

I want to show you... - Want to show Albert that he was wrong.

No, I've got to prove to myself that I can do what you do.

Get them safely home.

Alright, go on your own.

I'll bring Mitchell back here.

It so happens that at 10:30 I shall have my van in the station yard

on business I assure you, and if there should be any trouble... - Thank you, Victor, I'll look out for you.

Oh, you have an hour to spare, come on.

Did you see him? - Francois is here alright, but he hasn't moved yet.

Where is Mitchell? - Don't worry, he'll be through in a minute.

There he is now.

That's him.

No, stay where you are. There's nothing you can do.

Get down.

Calm down, control yourself.

The Boche.

Don't cry.

Don't cry.

What happened? - A terrorist...Kaputt.

Do you know him? - No.

You're a very good marksman. - Ja.
