"It's Monday's".

Right. The Resistance member

who is supposed to contact us,

will give me their paper, saying,

"Take this one, it's yesterday's".

I see. And they'll tell us

what to do next?

Let's hope so.

Must we really wear

these clothes?

They're filthy.

Excuse me, could you lend me

your newspaper?

It's Monday's.

Take this one, it's yesterday's.

The train driver was also

in the Resistance, probably.

Everything was well organised.

It was exactly

like a combined operation.

And this young woman, tell me,

she took you to a farm.

Yes, sir. Her father's farm.

And so she told us that

that very evening there was

a plane heading for England,

but that there was only one place

for one of the two of us.

So, you drew straws.

That's right, sir.

But how did you know that?

Because I am very intelligent.

Yes... So, what was I saying?

And so I won, and then Jeanne

gave us some clothes.

And then we ate.

- When does he leave?

- You can never know for sure.

In any case, no later than 3 o'clock

in the morning,

my father will come

to collect him.

- Is it far to walk?

- Oh! Airmen don't like to walk!

No, rest assured,

you'll have a car.

We'll drive you

straight to the plane.

- Just like an AirFrance flight, okay?

- Okay.

There we go.

That'll do for tonight.

- I'll change it for you tomorrow.

- Thank you very much.

I'm feeling much better.

Right, I'm off to bed.

Wake me so that

I can say goodbye to Sandy.

Not goodbye Stphane...

"see you", I hope.

Goodnight.

And thank you for the dressing.

It's been a long time

since I've had a smoke. Since Reims.

Reims? Yes, I know.

You'd have been better off

not lighting your cigarette.

It did you no favours.

Not to me, but Stphane.

He was the one who went

to the Caf de Commerce in Reims.

Reims? You mean

the Caf des Maronniers.

No, Caf de Commerce.

I read the instructions too.

And I remember it distinctly.

Ah, Caf du Commerce?

That's where this Vichy chap

noticed Stphane.

Then he followed him,

right into the wine cellar.

- Is that the car?

- Yes, yes.

Right. I'll say goodbye

to Stphane.

Please tell your father

I'll be there right away.

Tell me, when you left Stphane,

he gave you a letter, didn't he?

Yes, sir.

And he asked you

to give it to someone here,

in case his departure

was delayed, isn't that so?

Yes, that's right too.

- But how do you know?

- I already told you, I'm very intelligent.

- Have you delivered this letter?

- Yes, sir.

Can you tell me

the recipient's name and address?

I'm very sorry, sir, but I can't.

I gave my word of honour.

Sergeant, I must warn you

that you should consider

this question an order.

Yes, sir. I see.

But this is not a military matter.

Naturally, we can't force you to tell us

what you don't want to tell us.

This is not the Gestapo here.

But I think I can convince you

that you have a duty

beyond your military duty,

and to tell us everything you know,

despite your word of honour.

I'm sorry,

but I really don't think so, sir.

Of course,

after everything you've told me.

You'll think I'm mad or a fool

if I told you

that your friend, Godovsky,

was an officer of the Gestapo.

Yes, sir. I...

Your friend Godovsky,

was not Godovsky at all.

The real Godovsky is still

a prisoner of war in Germany.

In reality, your friend Godovsky

looked very much like the real Godovsky.

And that's why

the Germans chose him for this job.

The Gestapo are very clever,

you see, old boy.

So clever, that it was they

who organised your escape

in collaboration

with the Godovsky impostor, naturally.

I'm afraid that you have been

terribly misinformed, sir.

I see this is not going to be easy.

I'm going to tell you

the end of your story.

It is not for nothing

that I asked you

to begin your story

from when you arrived in Reims.

Do you remember the cart?

Right. You will also remember

that Stphane had a meeting

with the Resistance

at the Caf du Commerce.

But Stphane had arranged

another meeting,

with one of his friends,

called Oskar Emberg.

You never met Emberg,

but you will have seen him

in the train later on

where he was sat next to Stphane

reading a paper.

He was in the Gestapo too.

Stphane was directly

under his command.

But in Reims, the Resistance

had identified them both

and if Stphane had gone

to the Caf du Commerce

it's possible he may not have

come out alive.

He wanted to give up.

But Emberg insisted on carrying on,

since it was essential for them

to get you to carry

this message to London.

That's why he took Stphane,

not to the Caf du Commerce

but to the Caf des Maronniers.

One of the Caf des Maronniers regulars

was a minor SEL spy.

It was not by chance that Stphane

lit an English cigarette.

He may as well have shouted

'Vive De Gaulle' at the Kommandantur.

He had two reasons for this.

To attract the spy's attention

as well as the attention

of the Resistance man and woman.

The ones you later saw

in the cellar.

Stphane waited until he was sure

they'd taken the bait,

then he left,

followed by the spy,

he himself followed by

the Resistance man and woman.

Emberg's plan had worked.

Stphane made for the cellar.

Making sure he was indeed

being followed.

The chap from the SEL

was following him.

The spy stupidly asked Stphane

for his papers,

giving Stphane an opportunity

he did not waste.

His blow finished him off.

The man was stone dead.

Stphane left the cellar,

knowing that his plan had worked.

The two Resistance members

had watched him.

Yes, but I don't understand.

If Godovsky was a spy,

why would one spy

want to kill another spy?

To convince people

in the Resistance

that he really was

an escaped prisoner.

- Obviously.

- Oh I see.

You know, old boy, spies are people

quite different to the rest of us.

Yes, I see.

On top of that, he and Emberg

absolutely wanted to get to know

other members of the Resistance.

They were, by then,

collecting new victims.

This man and this woman,

and then the farmers

who provided you with the bicycles.

Then, the owner

of the Htel de la Poste.

This all makes

for a sizable number of kills.

Htel de la Poste?

You mean to say

that the two gendarmes...

Of course.

Police.

- Bonjour.

- Do you have your papers?

- Ah! Monsieur LeBlanc.

- You're Monsieur LeBlanc.

- Please excuse us, Monsieur LeBlanc.

- You're welcome. Thank you.

Tell me, the gentleman in room number 8,

do you understand?

Understood, sir.

- Hello.

- Hello, sir.

- The 9:
42am train to Givry.

- Perfect.

I'll be at the Htel des Voyageurs

in Arras.

The 9:
42am train,

second carriage after the engine,

second compartment.

Understood.

Do you mean to say,

he took me for a spy too?

That's very doubtful.

On the contrary, for them

you were an unexpected opportunity.

I find it all very difficult to believe.

- I must have seen Emberg.

- Certainly you saw him.

And now, we get to the farm.

Godovksy, of course,
