- Would you like some coffee?
- No, thank you.
- How about you fellows?
- No, thanks.
How are we doing?
Just past the coast of Holland.
Won't be long.
- Jeff?
- Yeah?
We used to talk about this one.
- Yeah.
- Feel like you thought you would?
Yeah.
You know something?
What?
I don't believe you.
Getting close.
Check your static line.
Check?
Check.
Check?
Check.
- Check?
- Check.
- What's the matter?
- Nothing.
There is. You're lookin' at me
like I was in a test tube.
- Sorry, I... guess I'm nervous.
- Yeah, I'm nervous too.
[No Audible Dialogue]
Comin' over the target.
Action stations.
Jeff...
- Yeah?
- You know that 14 million you owe me?
I'm wiping it off the books.
What's 14 million anyway?
Never have time to spend it.
We're even, Jeff.
We'll start from scratch.
- You don't owe me anything.
- Running in.
One... Go!
Two...
Go.!
Three...
"Lassiter killed in jump. Stop.
O'Connell fired at reception
committee. Stop.
"Disappeared. Stop. O'Connell
in possession of all Henri Masson
documents. Stop.
Proceeding mission area as planned.
Stop. Suzanne."
- Which one of you girls received
this message from de Beaumont?
- I did, sir.
- You sure it's her transmission?
- Positive.
Killed in the jump.
What a break.
Yes, it is.
Well, right now we're batting
zero-zero-zero.
- [Knocking]
- Come in.
This just came in, sir,
from the operator on the plane.
Lassiter's static cord
was deliberately cut.
- What!
He was murdered.
What a way to die.
What did Kuncel know?
- Could he have known anything
about Lassiter's mission?
- No.
- He knew he had Vichy credentials.
- He knew more than that.
He also knew the Holland invasion
was a phony.
Yeah. Or else he wouldn't
have killed Lassiter.
Well, Sharkey, you've done a great job.
Where do you go now?
- Back to Minnesota
to sit on a draft board.
- What's that?
I've made the only mistake
you're allowed to make in this outfit.
Yeah, they might send you on
a rest cure for that one, except...
There are no "excepts,"
and they're right.
- It'd look good to me.
I might do it again.
- So might I.
The one thing we can hope
for is another chance, unless...
- Unless what?
- Unless you want to concede the victory.
- Ah, not from you, Gib.
Keep your punches up, eh?
- I said, "unless you want to."
I concede nothing... until
they throw dirt in my face.
- That's better. Now, who have you
got to send to France?
- Only one man to send.
Too short a time to get Duclois
and blast that target. Who?
- Me.
- No.
An agent who wasn't familiar
with the mission wouldn't have a chance.
We haven't time to bring one up to date.
We need the time on the other end.
- You know I can't send you.
- Why not? I'm familiar
with every detail. I planned it.
- You know I can't send you.
- Why not? I'm familiar
with every detail. I planned it.
Give me one reason.
- You know the date and place
of the invasion.
- I've forgotten.
- Do you realize what would happen
to you if you were captured?
- Torture? Certainly.
Every agent carries an L-tablet.
And dead one minute after you bite one.
- And Kuncel's probably waiting for you.
- I'd like that.
- We're 100% failure
unless we get Duclois.
- Right.
There's a man loose who knows
every one of our 15 agents.
- We took that chance
when we left Kuncel in.
- I trained that group.
Every one of their lives is in
jeopardy while Kuncel's around.
- We're losing time.
I'll need these minutes.
- I don't want to send you.
I've been working hard.
I need the change.
You won't come back.
- I've just discovered
something about you.
- What?
You're a worrier.
Running in.
Go!
Giselle, show him the way.
You can go in now.
- Are you sure that's the right house?
- Oh, yes.
[Kisses]
I am very grateful
for your hospitality.
You are welcome to spend the night.
- Tomorrow I could not have taken you in.
- Oh?
Today two German officers arrived.
More Germans are moving into this area.
They need this house. They will be
back tomorrow. They take the best.
- I must leave tomorrow.
- That is well.
Has, um... Has anyone else arrived?
Not the Germans?
- Many people have arrived here.
- But I mean today, tonight.
I'm expecting to meet someone,
a young lady.
During the war,
I have been left alone. You arrive.
I do not ask whom you are
or where you come from.
I understand. But if someone should
arrive and ask for Gabriel Chavat...
- It's very important.
- Food... what we have... at least
it will be warm... is waiting.
- That's very nice, but...
- I will show you to the kitchen.
This way, please.
Now I will retire.
You are leaving early.
Good-bye.
Good-bye.
- Was it difficult?
- Not too difficult.
- A fine woman.
- I know.
I was here when
- When are we leaving?
- As soon as it's daylight.
- Where are we going?
- Pont-I'Eveque, near Le Havre.
Good. I know a safe place
for our transmission.
- Same mission?
- Duclois.
The unfortunate death of
my friend will force their hand.
- They may already have sent
an agent to take his place.
- Yes, it's possible.
And that's the man
we must find.
- That man will give us the answer
to your question. Karl...
- Yes?
Tighten every security check in
the costal area. Forget the name
"Masson." They'll change it.
I will be at Abwehr headquarters
in Le Havre.
- Report any discrepancies
in any civilian's behavior.
- Yes.
Hold for questioning any civilian
carrying Vichy credentials.
Yes.
They will send another man.
He'll need papers of authority
to allow him to perform his mission.
We will find that man,
and you shall know the mission.
- Good morning, monsieur.
- Good morning.
Merci, monsieur.
Fill in this form, please.
[Clerk]
How long do you wish to stay?
[Sharkey]
Long enough to accomplish my business.
- How long will that be, monsieur?
- Two or three days.
Very good, monsieur.
- Good morning.
- Good morning.
- I must trouble you to see your papers.
- But why?
I'm sorry, but I must trouble you.
By what authority?
Oh, all this red tape,
all this interference holds up business.
There was an insurance adjustor
here a week ago.
- And two days later
you had another air raid.
- Not from German planes.
From British and American.
They bomb their friends.
[Chuckles]
Friends.
[Bell Dings]
Room 14.
Just a minute!
Where was your grandfather buried?
- Which one?
- Well, on your father's side?
- In the St. Maurice Cemetery at Toulon.
- Oh, I see.
Yes, Chavat.
C-H-A-V-A-T.
Chavat. Yeah.
St. Maurice Cemetery, Toulon.
Mm-hmm.
[Footsteps Approaching]
May I present my letter
of commission?
Department of Compulsory Labor.
- You represent the government at Vichy?
- Of course.
The nature of your business?
My government and yours is not satisfied
with this town's labor record.
I cannot understand that.
We have tried to cooperate.
