Original subtitles

Hide it. She's going to see it.

You'll need to carry the box.

Go several hundred metres so she'll get really tired.

There are no crevices in that area so you won't find one.

At some point tell her it's no use insisting on finding one, so you'll have to dig...

Put the trunk down, a bullet in the back to drop her...

...and one in the mouth to finish her off.

In the mouth, not the head.

You're talking as though you've done it before !

Yes, in Spain. It's not pretty, but does the job.

Be sure to take her bag.

Don't leave anything that could identify her.

And her shoes too.

Her shoes !

I've promised them to a Comrade.

Right now, they're worth gold..

Hey guys, it's getting late !

OK, enough discussion. She's going to be suspicious.

We're nearly done.

Hide the body as best you can.

What do I do afterwards ?

Remember where we practiced shooting with Yvon ?

Rendezvous there at 4 o'clock.

The Party's counting on you, Comrade.

Before shooting her, think of Yvon.

Think of Gérard.

Think of Emilie.

You'll see, it'll help.

So, I'll leave you.

Well... see you soon.

See you soon, Comrade.

Find a good hiding place.

Hey, this is heavy.

I knew propaganda was heavy, but not this much !

Can we put it down for a while ?

If you want.

I haven't seen any crevices.

There are some further on.

How are you doing ?

Fine.

Have we gone far enough ?

Kiss me.

No.

When we've finished the job.

What a kill-joy.

Come on, we have to get back.

Max told me you just missed arrest at your brother's...

Yes.

You're not very talkative today.

And you...

...where did you sleep the last two nights ?

At the Station Hotel, with my friend.

Is she OK ?

Why are you asking me, when you don't even know her !

Just interested.

Yes, she's fine.

OK, here will be good.

Does that mean we dig ? Yes.

Look behind that tree stump to see if it's good for digging.

Wait, I'll take a shovel.

What are you doing Marcel ?

What have they told you ?

The truth.

That you were with your cop that night.

That you've lied since the beginning.

Don't move.

It's not true that I've lied to you.

How can you believe that !

You didn't go to see Loriot last night ?

Yes.

But I didn't know where to go, Marcel.

My friend couldn't take me in.

So, yes it's true, I called him.

I knew he wouldn't question me.

You were with a cop just now !

An RG cop !

But he has a thing for me, you don't understand !

When we're together, he doesn't ask me questions. He knows I won't answer.

Anyway, its you that tipped the Boches off about me the day before yesterday, eh ?

I swear that's not true.

I swear on my children's heads.

You're not going to say you didn't blow Yvon at least.

No. Yvon was caught because Edmond was spotted bringing the camera to my house.

The cops had staked out my lodgings.

Then they followed him to the garage.

How do you know that ?

Because Loriot told me last night.

He doesn't ask questions, but he talks to me.

Oh, please believe me Marcel.

I beg you.

That's all you've got to offer me ?

A cop's gossip.

Listen to me Marcel.

Listen to me one more moment.

Afterwards...

...Afterwards you can make a decision. I won't run away.

Since I came into the Party, I've lost my job...

...my house, my children.

My in-laws won't let me phone them. Since June I've been alone, no money...

No papers, subject to a bunch of sickos like Edmond, who don't trust me...

...under the pretext my husband was Socialist before the War.

I trusted you. Yes. You !

You.

I came directly to tell you that Loriot had nicked me at Essarts. Straight away, Marcel.

I wasn't forced to.

If I'm what you say I am, I wouldn't have done that.

But above all...

Above al, I'd never betray you, Marcel...

...because you're the only man who's ever counted in my life, apart from my husband.

And...

...if there was no war...

... I'd want to be with you, to start life again with you.

To live with you.

How can you dare to say that while your husband's in a POW camp ?

Because it's the truth ! Shut up !

The real truth. Shut up !

Take your shoes off.

What are you going to do ?

Take your shoes off and give me your bag.

Marcel. Stop.

Here.

You need to vanish. Really.

Where will you go ?

My friend at the hotel will take me in if I insist

And after that...

...with this, I think I can get into Switzerland.

I have a cousin in Pontarlier.

Say we can see each other after the war.

When all this is over.

Get going.

Say just one nice word to me.

A real one.

The last time I asked, you only said "See you tomorrow".

Get going.

Go, Suzanne.

Hurry.

So ?

I prefer this one.

Good, the first one there ?

Yes, why ? Don't you like it ?

My mother prefers that one.

But it's me you're marrying Jules, not your mother.

Yes, no, no, I know, but she doesn't like alcohol in pastries.

In the first one there's a dash of...

Yes, it makes me dizzy.

If 2ml of kirsch makes you dizzy, you'd better not drink too much on the day !

Why, are you scared of what I'd do ?

We have an appointment, I believe...

Oh yes, I... please.

Of course.

Good day. Good day. Do you know Hélène Crémieux's father ?

Good day Monsieur.

Mademoiselle.

And soon to be Madame, we marry in two weeks time.

Congratulations.

Hélène often speaks of you... Favourably

Hélène is a very talented child.

Do you want us to talk here ?

I mean it does concern Hélène, but mainly administrative questions...

...related to her registration. No, I'd prefer to go to your office.

Very good, this way please...

You have concerns about Hélène's registration, but everything seems in order to me.

Her results are good I believe ?

Excellent. She's top in everything. Even in religious education.

Yes, about that. I'm surprised there's religious education in a public school.

Well, what do you want, it's the current era.

Did the Education Board impose it on you ?

No, let's say it just turned out that way.

It surprised me that it came from you.

Yes, we have a friend in common.

Well, a mutual acquaintance, Escoffier.

The Printer in Besançon.

Escoffier. Escoffier, no I don't recognise that at all.

He told me you were in the same Lodge before the War.

The Masons aren't my cup of tea, but...

I'm not criticising, eh.

Monsieur Crémieux, I'm not following you very well,

Escoffier ! Brother Gédéon, if you prefer.

Ah yes, yes, yes.

Yes, he told me you were a good guy.

Generous, open to independent ideas.

That's kind of him, but...

He told me you were active in union matters.

Local Secretary of the National Union of Teachers.

Monsieur Crémieux, I don't understand you. All that is finished.

The Lodges and Unions are forbidden.

You never do anything that's forbidden ?

I'm not one of your pupils, Monsieur Bériot.

Where are you coming from, Monsieur Crémieux ?

I'm looking for someone to help me print something.

You have a printing press in the school cellar...

You're the only one who can help me recover it.

I can't help you, Monsieur le Maire.

It was the French who arrested your servant.

But it was because Heinrich Muller was getting ready to do so.

He was right !

Why are you defending Sarah Meyer ?

Because she worked for me and I like her her a lot.

You should avoid liking Jews a lot.

Especially a stateless Jewess, with irregular status.

There's really no way to...

Monsieur Larcher,

I supported you against Muller, because of your attitude in the hostage affair...

But don't push the button too hard.

Go home, rest, and find a new servant.

So ?

It's done.

And the gun ?

Careful, there's one bullet left.

How was it ? Not too hard ?

I did as you told me.

I think the first bullet killed her.

Her eyes were open.

She didn't move.

Yes that happens..

You gave her the coup de grâce, however ?

Yes.

But in the end... I couldn't do it in the mouth.

I put one in her heart.

Under the left breast.

She's dead, that's certain.

Real lipstick ! That cop must have given it to her.

And you with the Interregional... ?

Happy we'd identified the traitor.

And done what was needed.

Wait...

Did you get her wedding ring ?

What wedding ring ?

We told you to get everything that could identify her.

You told me to get her bag and shoes, not her ring.

Everything that could identify her.

But everyone has a wedding ring.

Yes, but they have the names and wedding date of the couple engraved on the inside.

She told me once.

That means nothing. There are people who get married every other day now.

Paul, when Loriot, the cop with the hots for her...

...learns they've found a woman's body with a dated ring...

...he's going to look it up, and find it was her.

He'll not let go of it.

What can we do ?

Go and get the ring ! What ?

You want me to go back there !

Comrade, you brought Suzanne to us, it was a serious Political Mistake.

We gave you a chance to redeem yourself.

So yes, you'll go back.

Wait, tell me where the body is, and I'll go myself.

It's for him to go ! You're too hard !

He knew the Comrade well, he killed and buried her.

I'm used to it, not him.

I can do it just as well.

Come on, tell me where the body is.

No, no, I'll go.

Edmond's right, it's up to me to go.

Sentimentality is a petit-bourgeois trait !

Good.

Tonight I have a solution to your transport.

To go where ?

I don't know.

Probably Paris.

The Saint-Jacques Calvaire at the edge of the forest, you know where it is ?

Rendezvous with me there tomorrow afternoon.

With the ring.

Monsieur le Maire ?

Monsieur Loriot.

I believe you're holding Sarah Meyer in detention.

Yes, the Gendarmes haven't come by yet.

They're going to take her to Pithiviers.

I want to talk to her.

Sorry, that's not possible.

I have my orders.

Who from ?

Inspecteur Marchetti.

He's the boss now.

I'm going to have a word with Marchetti.

Hey ! Monsieur Larcher. Happy to see you came through it.

How do you know about that ?

Didn't Hortense tell you ? No ?

She came to ask my help...

I went to see Servier, who went to talk to Kollwitz, and here you are.

No, she didn't tell me.

No matter, I want to see Sarah Meyer.

I'm sorry, but unfortunately that's contrary to regulations.

Especially for Politicals and Foreign Jews.

She's French.

If she were French she wouldn't be here.

I'm asking you as a favour, Marchetti.

As a favour.

You've already forgotten how you had me fired like a common schoolkid, six months ago ?

No.

But why then, did you help me get out yesterday ?

Well, let's say that... your wife found the words.

She was very convincing.

I'm going to see Sarah. If you want to prevent me, you have a number of options.

They told me I didn't have a right to visitors.

Oh, rights, you know... these days...

Do you know where you're to go ?

No.

To a concentration camp for...

...with foreign Jews.

South of Paris, at Pithiviers.

This is my destiny.

Always being forced to move when I want to stay.

How are Te Quiero and Gustave ?

Fine, I'm managing as best I can.

Surely Madame is going to stay a while.

Perhaps, yes.

Several days.

I want to tell you...

I'll get to see you wherever you are.

I'll do everything I can to get you out.

You can't say that.

Why ?

Monsieur, you know I like you, and even...

What France is doing to the Jews...

...all the things we can no longer do...

All these people who are in prison like me, for no reason...

Monsieur, excuse me for saying this to you, but...

It's people like you who permit it.

But why ? I fight...

Because honest people like you support this regime...

..that this regime can do what it does to us.

If there weren't people like Marchetti and Servier...

This regime would fall, all of it's own accord.

I know you like me, Monsieur...

And you have always been good to me...

...but don't forget what I'm telling you.

Watch.

How did you do that ?

Go on, try it.

Find yourself a little flat pebble.

Yes, But no, no, no, no, no.

You need to skim the water, so it bounces...

That wasn't much good.

Hold on, go and try again.

I've things to do.

What does Crémieux want ?

Oh, he wants...

In fact I believe he's more or less in the Resistance.

Oh...

It's strange for a Jew.

Well, that depends...

I mean why do you think it's strange ?

I don't know, if I was a Jew right now I'd lie low.

Especially if I had a family.

In fact, he wants...

...he asked me...

Not get into that activity, I hope. No, No.

Well... a bit maybe.

Jules, you cant do that !

You represent the French State.

I took up my profession to serve the French Republic, not the French State !

It's the same thing.

You took the loyalty oath to the Maréchal.

Like me.

Yes... But that's not the problem...

An oath is an oath. No?

Yes... But we didn't have a choice. An oath only has value when taken freely.

It looks like Monsieur Crémieux needs help, Lucienne...

He can find it elsewhere.

That we can't know.

And that's not the problem.

I know you like to help people, it's something I admire in you.

That I love, even... But you can't take such risks.

Oh, risks !

I'm not marrying you to become a widow.

I know, Lucienne.

Did you tell him no ?

Yes... I told him... no.

It's better if your wife is unaware of it, you know.

Mine knows nothing, it's best if something goes wrong.

No, wait, just so we're clear !

I'll help you once on this edition, but afterwards...

Yes, of course.

How is Gédéon ?

Escoffier.

He was arrested last month.

Oh...

We printed at his home, hence my problem.

How many are there in your group ?

My group !

With Escoffier's arrest...two.

Yes, I see, OK.

As I said, it's just once. I show you the machine, you take it, that's it !

Someone will have to help me carry it...

I can hardly find workers for such a job.

With the Germans on top of us, so to speak...

I suppose it'll have to be done at night.

No, no, night time is worst, there are sentries.

At the least suspicious noise...

Good, listen, we'll work out details later. When can we see the machine ?

Let's say tomorrow. But very early.

At the end of curfew.

Good day Monsieur.

Let's say 7 o'clock. 7 o'clock.

But above all don't ring... Lucienne mustn't hear you.

Tomorrow then.

Tomorrow.

Thank you.

It doesn't matter.

I'll go and get a cloth from the kitchen. No, leave it.

But there are stains.

Well we can live with stains on the tablecloth. It doesn't matter.

Right ?

Yes.

When will Sarah come back ?

Soon.

Surely it's a misunderstanding.

Why do you say that ?

Because it's a misunderstanding.

It's just necessary to prove she's French, that's all.

Yes, even if she's not French, it's not right to throw her in prison !

I didn't say that, I said... You have nothing to say anyway.

Sarah is in prison because our government makes unjust decisions.

One wonders then, why you serve it.

...and because your Aunt's German friend...

...found it amusing to arrest Sarah before leaving Villeneuve.

Is that right Auntie, you have a German friend ?

Obviously it's true.

You're hateful to tell him that. I'm hateful ?

Do you want me to tell him the rest ?

Tell him why his father was almost arrested here ?

I'm going to bed, I think that will be best.

Yes, that's right, it will be best.

Good night.

Why did she kiss me ? She doesn't usually kiss me.

Go on, eat your soup.

Do you think anything could happen to my friend Hélène ?

Hélène Crémieux.

No... not children, anyway.

Suzanne.

What are you doing here ?

Edmond wants me to get your ring.

They don't want your body to be identified by it.

That's hilarious.

I haven't been able to get my ring off for years.

Excuse me.

I wonder what they make this ersatz soap from.

Because it doesn't smell of... roses, let's say.

Why don't you come to Switzerland with me ?

I'm not going to be a fugitive.

Combat against the Germans has to continue.

You've seen how the Comrades combat the Boches.

It's a just cause.

We have to kick the fucking Boches out.

No matter if it's sometimes necessary to work with guys like Edmond.

No matter !

That's how I come to be 'dead'.

Kiss me.

In a hotel bedroom it's the strict minimum.

Good... I'll go.

Don't be any more boring than you really are.

I said you wouldn't stay to sleep.

You said that ?

I like your kids, you know.

Even Raoul ?

Even Raoul.

A bit rebellious, but...

Look it can't go on like this if we don't tell him about things.

To tell him these things, I need to tell the truth to Jeannine.

You're going to leave Jeannine ?

I can't go on telling lies, Marie. If only you knew !

And Marceau ?

You can't have everything in life.

Anyway, I'd see him from time to time.

Watch your footing.

And your head.

Thank you.

So it's just here.

Does it work ?

Yes, yes, but there's no way to compose text here.

Well, I know nothing about that.

I think you have to type the text on another machine.

A linotype, but I know where to get that done.

It looks heavy.

I don't know, it was here when I arrived.

What exactly do you want to print ?

That's my business.

OK, but it will have to be dismantled.

Listen, if I give it to you, I need to know what you're going to print, OK ?

After all I'm taking a hell of a risk

Pooh... What do you mean Pooh !

If this gets out I'm good for prison, as a minimum.

I you insist, I want to print a pamphlet.

Responding to the attacks, and executions of hostages.

Against the executions and attacks I hope ?

No, only against the executions.

Wait, wait, are you a Communist or something ?

Not at all.

It's going to be hard to dismantle.

No, but if you're not Communist, you can't support the attacks.

They show the way, Monsieur Bériot.

Done for bad reasons perhaps and too soon, but...

...they show the way.

It's too old, if we dismantle it, we'll never get it back together.

But if it's to support the attacks, I...

But... If you had to print a text on it, what would you say ?

What would I say ?

I'd say...

"No to hostage executions. The Germans will pay."

That's not bad.

"The Germans will pay", that's very good.

And then I'd attack them like this...

"At Chateaubriand and Bordeaux 100 patriots fell under the invader's bullets."

"They are dead, and we deplore it."

"But it's they who are the victors."

Don't tell me you're improvising this.

Oh, no. In fact I keep a little personal journal.

Well actually, it's political... On events, you know.

Oh yes. You could obviously write great articles.

But as you're only speaking of occasional help...

No, but wait, writing articles. I could agree to that.

If I'm free to write what I want.

Yes, we'll talk a little about it later.

A little... Yes, we'll talk about it a little.

A shame we can't move the machine...

OK, thanks for your welcome, I'll leave you.

Wait, wait, wait, wait for me.

What if we do the printing here ?

Here, but that's impossible. But why ?

No-one ever comes here, only I have the key.

But the noise...

Right, we'll fix that by covering it.

We'll print during singing lessons. We can do noisy work in the courtyard.

Is it your friend ?

No, she doesn't work this morning.

Suzanne.

It's Antoine.

It's Loriot.

He was supposed to come and get me at noon, to go to Pontarlier.

He told me I'd no chance of getting there on the bus.

But don't worry.

Suzanne, wake up.

Come in.

I won't introduce you.

Look, don't make a face, you told me you'd come at noon.

Marchetti's assigned me a search job at 11 o'clock.

I'll take you to Pontarlier now.

Do I have to ?

Yes, you must.

Can you give me a quarter of an hour ?

5 minutes.

We need to fix up some papers.

You shaved your moustache off ?

You're a damned good observer.

You know we'll end up getting you.

Sure.

We'll also end up getting you.

Give us two minutes.

If just the two of us meet again, it'll be different.

Do you understand ?

Come on, get going.

I hope you're not imagining silly things.

If I'd told you yes.... about Switzerland,

What would have happened ?

We'd have left, and he'd have found no-one here.

Tell me we'll find each other again.

Suzanne,

if the Comrades find I let you live, I'll end up six feet under.

But the war won't last for ever.

It's my life that risks not lasting out the war.

You're a bastard telling me that right now.

Well, this time it's real separation. I'm perhaps entitled to one kind word.

Are you going to miss me ?

Sometimes. Oh yes.

I'm sure we'll meet again.

And on that day fix yourself up with a moustache.

Up already ?

I'm going. Will you kiss me ?

Nevertheless.

I want to beg your pardon for yesterday.

It was ridiculous to talk like that in front of Gustave.

At the same time it made me realise...

It won't work. What won't work, Daniel ?

The arrangement.

You here, taking care of Te Quiero.

Yes, of course it can work. It's enough to want it so.

Let's say I don't want it.

You can't kick me out like a servant.

That's not what I meant.

By the end of my surgery, I want you gone with as many of your things as possible.

Daniel, it's not my fault if Sarah's in prison.

If you're still here when I get back, I'll put you out myself, Hortense.

I heard you get up early, this morning.

Ah yes.

It wasn't you ?

Yes, yes, yes, there was a small earth slip in the cellar, didn't you hear it ?

An earth slip ?

Yes. Oh, nothing serious.

It'll be necessary to do a little digging, however.

There's no risk for the children ?

No, no, but I'm going to prohibit entry by the door.

You never know.

How are you going to find a contractor right now ?

Ah, Plan B !

As in Bériot.

I so love it when you smile.

You know, yesterday ?

You didn't take it badly, about Crémieux ?

No, no, no. I don't want to lose you.

Don't worry, Lucienne.

Comrades.

Do you have the ring ?

Wouldn't it be best to get rid of it?

Yes !

Comrade Ernest will take you to Moissay.

After that take the bus to Dijon, then Paris.

I remind you, in Paris or elsewhere, you're forbidden to talk about the Pharmacy Action.

I know.

When can I come back to Villeneuve ?

It's not going to happen overnight.

Good... Go on.

Wait, can you take a message to my son ?

You're crazy, there's no question of it.

Just to tell him I'm well.

Do you ever listen to anything I say, Paul ?

It's dangerous, it's dangerous for everyone.

Good. Let's go... We have to go now.

Here.

I've made a snack for you, and some money.

Don't worry about your kid, I'll pass on the message.

Well...

Safe journey.

I've always dreamed of seeing Paris.

It's a shame to have to go there for treatment.

You'll have time to do some visiting.

Ten days of convalescence after the operation.

Ten days !

But where will we stay ?

In a hotel.

But we can never pay for ten days in a hotel !

I've received an unexpected windfall.

What sort of windfall ?

Unexpected.

Henri... You haven't done something stupid ?

Not more than usually.

No, seriously.

Judith, you absolutely have to have this operation.

It's expensive, so I have to take the money where I find it, OK ?

Can you believe how many steps there are on the Eiffel Tower ? ?

Go on.

Didn't you meet Marceau ? He was asking where you were.

What did you tell him ?

That I didn't know.

Even though I had an idea.

Who was it this time ?

I'm leaving, Jeannine.

You're leaving ! But where are you going ?

I'm leaving the house, I'm leaving you.

You're joking.

I'm moving out as quickly as possible.

I'm going to send a guy from the sawmill. He'll come for the big stuff during the day.

There you are. As to the property, I leave it all to you.

Well, everything that's ours, obviously.

But what have I done to you ?

I want to talk to Marceau.

Marceau ! You tell me you're leaving me, and you want to talk to Marceau !

Raymond, if you do such a thing, you'll never see your son again.

What are you thinking of ?

You think I'll let this happen to me, just like that !

Wait, Raymond. Raymond, Raymond, Raymond.

Listen, yes, you need a little time, we can arrange...

Look, you can go somewhere else for a while.

If you need to.

When you love someone, you can understand everything.

Understand, I no longer love you. I'm really leaving.

What do you think ? That you're going to get away with it like that !

You've no idea of the life I'll make for you. Do you hear.

You'll have nothing. Nothing ! Not your house, son, concrete works...

Because when I go to see the cops, it's prison waiting for you. Do you hear ?

Prison ! Do you hear ?

Monsieur Schwartz !

You've really screwed me around.

I swear you're going to pay for it

Move.

You've made good use of your day, laddie ?

I got four in my composition for the science lesson.

Four !

But you revised.

But the Mistress asked about things we hadn't learned.

Oh, that surprises me, Gustave.

Did you make your bread and butter all alone ?

That's good.

No, it was Auntie.

Auntie ?

She's here ?

Yes, but she said not to disturb her because she was going to sleep.

What are you doing there ?

It's Geography. I don't like it !

Get out !

Get out.

Park the car.

Forward.

Forward !

You got him by surprise.

In the back, I'll bet !

Stop.

Go on, shoot.

Go one, you'll do me a favour.

Not so easy to kill a man, eh ?

Even in wartime.

Why did you kill him ?

Just circumstances.

He thought he could blackmail me. He was wrong.

It can happen.

So what could I do ?

I don't know.

How did you know it was me ?

The pig told me.

De Kervern ?

Ah go on, make the best of your life and liberty, go !

Hortense, get up.

Get up. Do you hear.

That's enough.

Hortense wake up !

Hortense, listen to me !

Hortense !

Hortense, don't go, stay with me.

Stay with me !
