I am delighted to have met you,
and you will hear from me
sometime between
the 28th and the 5th,
and discretion, of course.
Of course.
Between the 28th and the 5th.
Don't forget.
Neither an appointment or a face.
It's my profession.
Ravic.
Come right away.
Yes. No. Come right away, please.
L... I'm frightened.
Help me, Ravic.
Please come.
Yes.
Joan.
Joan.
Oh, you're here.
What happened?
Nothing.
I'm glad you still have
enough concern for me
to come when I call you.
So you lied to get me up here.
Yes. I had to see you.
And if I have to lie to see you,
I'll continue to lie.
You acted very strangely at Fouquet's.
It was like telling me that everything
was over between us.
It is.
You needn't do that.
I'm not going, not this time.
Not until I make you understand
that the book is closed.
It is not closed.
I can't bring myself to marry Alex.
I love you.
And I'll always love you.
And you love me.
Yes.
But I have broken away from you.
Are we automatons
that we can turn love on and off?
We were finished when I returned
from Switzerland.
I knew it then.
I should have broken off then.
the first time you brought me here,
but I wasn't sure.
No one can prophesy.
And sometimes one doesn't
want to know everything.
I can't imagine our never being together.
For a time, yes, but not forever.
You know you will leave me again...
tomorrow, the day after tomorrow,
sometime.
Yes.
And if you returned,
you know you would always go again.
Yes.
Yes, yes, yes!
Oh, what's the use?
What is it?
Why is it that way with us?
It's not only us.
Everyone searches for security in love.
You found them both,
but in two different men.
You want the one, and you don't
want to let the other go.
Yes, I would, Ravic.
I want only...
only I'm afraid.
I'd afraid of letting my love for you
do to me what it did...
what it did before,
when you were taken away from me,
when you were deported.
I can't, I can't be hurt like that again.
Can't we...
Can't we at least...
A former-Iover friendship? No.
Might be possible with some people.
A love like ours has no substitute.
Pain is part of it.
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
I know.
That's why this is the end.
Ravic!
Hello.
Yes.
Yes, thank you.
I'm expecting him.
You certainly did not rent
one of the cheap suites.
Have you ever sat in a plush hole
the entire day and waited?
Longer, my boy, longer.
And remember, this is the first day only.
You may wait seven.
You may wait 7,000. Look.
France closed the German frontier today.
There's still a chance.
I'll wait the week out.
Did you have much trouble
getting in here without passport?
No. Night porters don't ask questions
in exclusive hotels.
What about the day fellows?
That's a chance I'll have to take.
If I had only thought
of asking Haake's Paris hotel.
I know. I know.
You are sitting here thinking
you have done everything wrong, eh?
- Forget it.
- Did you rent the car?
Oh, yes. Yes, Talbot with leather seats.
It's parked in the Rue de Berri,
opposite the Lancaster.
- Thank you.
- Remember, you have no license to drive.
That has never bothered me before.
I came here straight
from the International.
I left Joan in my room, crying.
Hello.
One moment, please.
Do you know where
you'll want to take him?
Yes, I know a place.
Yes?
Yes, this is Herr von Holn.
The wine you ordered,
was it Liebfrauen '29?
Yes. Open.
Room service.
Yeah.
I hope you do not attract attention.
No man in Paris eats in his room
unless he is sick.
I wish I could come with you.
I'm glad you don't have to.
God bless your eyes.
They've invaded Poland.
Yes, it's started.
The whole city is deathly quiet.
Whole country is hoping against hope.
And here I am playing
this silly game of Indians.
If only Haake hasn't left Paris by now.
With the frontiers closed,
he may not even have come at all.
For four days now, I've...
Let's talk about something else.
Yes.
What do you really intend
to do about Joan?
Have you seen her again?
Every day she comes
to see me at International,
every night at Sheherazade.
She wants to make things right.
She is desperate.
Let's talk about something else.
We'll be blacked out.
It's just been announced over the radio
as a precaution against air raids.
On the radio, they say
everything is precaution.
They say there will be no war.
They say they're about to negotiate.
- Good evening, Miss Madou.
- Good evening.
- I want to see the colonel.
- I'll look for him.
Hey.
I cannot talk to her here in this uniform.
Tell her I see her outside.
You can talk to her here.
Not a soul will be here tonight.
Well...
- Please...
- There will be blackout any minute.
It was just announced.
- You're to hurry home.
- Please, Colonel...
You should not be out alone.
Where is he?
I do not know.
If they declare war,
they'll put Ravic
into a concentration camp.
You are the only one who can
give me a chance to see him.
Please, before it is too late.
All right, Joan.
If I see him.
I have your word?
Monsieur von Holn doesn't answer.
He must be in.
You'll keep ringing, please.
Where are you going?
To get my car.
You want to leave me.
No, no, no, no, no.
You wait here.
We closed up this place.
Wait here.
Tell me about this place
where we are going.
Well, select wines, exquisite service,
unbelievably pleasant company...
Sounds wonderful, wonderful.
But not cheap.
We Germans, you know,
limited foreign exchange.
Herr Ivon Haake, need I remind you
that in Paris you're my guest?
You are a true landsman.
It is 5:
30.Remember, good friend,
I must be in the
Gare du Nord by 9:00.
I will not see Paris again
until I, through this
Arch of Triumph, march.
We have nearly four hours.
You'll make it easily.
Where are we?
The Bois de Boulogne.
How long are we driving?
Oh, ten minutes.
It has been longer.
Not much.
Before I was asleep, I looked at the time.
We are driving more than half an hour.
Really? I didn't think it was so long.
We'll be there soon.
Where?
The place I told you about.
Drive back.
- Now?
- Ja.
Why?
Drive back.
All right.
Do we go back?
Yes.
10 Downing Street.
This morning, the British
Ambassador in Berlin
handed the German government a final note,
stating that unless we heard
from them by 11:
00that they were prepared at once
to withdraw their troops from Poland,
a state of war would exist between us.
I have to tell you now
that no such undertaking
has been received,
and that consequently
this country is at war with Germany.
You heard?
Well?
I killed him in the Bois
and buried him in Saint-Germain.
Where is the car?
Rue Poncelet.
Everything is in order.
Nothing else to do?
Nothing.
I've got an horrific headache.
I want to sleep.
I'll come down later.
You did not forget anything?
No, I don't think so.
I've given up my room
at the Prince de Galles.
