That is precisely what you have
not done. You have not cooperated.
- This is a very small town.
- France is full of small towns...
only this happens to be
a very important one.
You know as well as I the kind
of work that's going on here...
a most important project.
And one that requires
the utmost secrecy.
I only know we have turned over
You forget I have the facts.
The government has sent me to
investigate a serious protest.
Protest?
I don't understand.
From whom?
A cooperative Frenchman...
a man who realizes full well
where the future of France
lies... Monsieur Duclois.
Has your town been molested
by our protectors? No.
Haven't your people been allowed
before the Germans came?
No. Things are not the same.
They can never be the same when
we must give over the young men.
You know what will happen, of course,
if you don't give them over.
Yes, I realize.
The Germans will take them.
Exactly. That's why I'm here...
to help your townspeople.
- You must cooperate.
- What can I do?
The size of the project
has been increased.
Monsieur Duclois
has asked for more men.
How many more can we give?
I will be able to give you
those figures as soon as I've
spoken to Monsieur Duclois.
Where does he live?
- I do not know.
- You must know.
I do not know
any Monsieur Duclois.
I appreciate your caution.
You have been advised
to remain absolutely silent
about this entire project.
That's good.
We will still observe the rules
of caution. You will take me
to Monsieur Duclois' house.
- I do not know any Monsieur Duclois.
- Very well.
with your stubborn refusal
and you will be removed from office.
I have no time to waste
on stupid people.
I am sorry.
You must understand my position.
The Resistance movement
is strong and well organized.
- I do my best,
but I'm hated by my own people.
- The people do not understand!
You could be a member of the Resistance.
I must be sure.
I will have you taken
to Monsieur Duclois.
Emile.
This gentleman is from the Department
of Compulsory Labor at Vichy.
Take him to Monsieur Duclois.
- Good day.
- Good day.
[Engine Starts, Runs]
- Does he live outside of town?
- Yes.
How far away does he live?
Ten kilometers.
We've gone farther than that.
It won't be long.
- [Engine Stops]
- We get out here.
- Where's the house?
- They don't let this man
live in a house.
He's carefully protected
from, uh, air raids.
There's a shelter
on the side of the hill.
- There?
- On the other side. Follow me.
Who's in charge here?
I must talk to your leader.
Dig.
[Paper Rustling]
Monsieur Chavat,
he went to see the mayor.
- Take me up to his room.
- Yes, mon colonel.
This is the record
of his visit.
He had a letter of commission
in the Department of Compulsory Labor.
He said he was returning
to the hotel.
[Door Bangs Open]
You're the leader?
- I must talk with you.
- Why?
- We're on the same side.
- You're a traitor.
I'm an American agent from London.
Parachuted in here two days ago.
- And these?
- All forged.
Why did you come
to Pont-I'Eveque?
On a mission. And I'll need
your help to carry it out.
- Pierre!
- You must believe me.
German agents are parachuted here too.
Even from Allied planes.
I have a radio operator with me, a girl.
I can take you right to her.
The Germans have them too.
We can't take any chances.
But you can't take the chance
of killing a friend...
someone who would help your
cause, someone who was sent here
to help liberate your country.
I know, everything I have is French:
My suit, my shoes and all my papers.
But we're fighting a clever enemy.
We can't afford to take chances either.
You must give me proof,
or else l...
- You have a radio? You can hear London?
- Yes. Yes.
All right. Can you give me
a courier to take a message...
- to a safe house not far from town?
- Why?
My operator will contact London.
She will instruct them to repeat
on the news broadcast tonight.
You will select the message, anything
you want. I will write the message.
Joseph!
What is your message?
A lamb is ready
for the slaughter.
[Clicking]
[Clicking]
Be patient.
We'll get them.
[Man On Radio] This is London. Our
news bulletin will follow in a moment.
But first, here are
a few personal messages.
The little dog laughed.
The little dog laughed.
The play is over.
The play is over.
Jill wants Jack to come home.
Jill wants Jack to come home.
The churchyards yawn.
The churchyards yawn.
This ends the personal messages.
And now for the news.
One of the largest daylight raids,
5,000 Allied planes...
battered 27 invasion area targets
in Holland, Belgium and France.
I must interrupt the news
for an important announcement.
Listen carefully, please.
A lamb is ready
for the slaughter.
A lamb is ready
for the slaughter.
[Turns Radio Off]
Why did you come here?
- To get Duclois.
- To destroy him?
No. To take him alive.
And I'll need your help. I know
he's somewhere near Pont-I'Eveque.
You are right. He lives
and works at the Hotel Moderne.
We have wanted
bloody reprisals.
- He's kept under guard?
- Always.
Duclois is an important man
for the Germans.
Right now he's a more important man
for London and for France.
Now listen.
I've gotta get back to the village.
- An agent of the gestapo
- Gestapo? You sure?
He came to my office this morning.
He is still in the village.
We will keep you in a safe place.
- I must get Duclois.
- Alive? That's impossible.
You have men and arms.
You can help me. You must help me.
We must keep hidden
until the right day arrives.
Once we come out in the open,
the Germans will know us
We will do good work
when the time comes.
We must wait for the right time.
This is what you've been waiting for.
This is the right time.
No. Only when
the English and the Americans.
We must wait.
Monsieur Gallimard,
this is the right time.
- The invasion?
- You've heard our broadcast,
you've seen our planes.
- More and more raids every day.
- You know when they are coming?
You've seen the care that London
has taken to get me to Pont-I'Eveque.
- Yes.
- So much depends on this mission.
You must help me, even if it costs
the lives of some of your countrymen.
This much I will tell you...
In a few days it'll be too late.
This is the time.
[Speaking French]
[Narrator]
In the seaport city of Le Havre...
gestapo headquarters for the
heavily-fortified channel coast area...
of enemy-occupied France...
was located at 13 Rue Madeleine.
[Man]
The high forehead. Clear.
Heavy eyebrows.
