I have nothing to say.

We have ways and means of making you

talk.

I have nothing to say.

Pity.

I have told you, we have ways

and means to make a woman talk.

Do not touch me!

Undo that blouse!

Will you answer my questions?

I have nothing to say.

Will you answer my questions?

I have nothing to say.

THEY LAUGH:

I complimented the Gustav on the

excellence of the tea.

And do you know what he told me?

The British obligingly dropped it

in containers for the French

Partisans!

Well?

I cannot get anything out of her.

What have you tried?

I have tried a red-hot poker to her

spine

and I had all her toenails pulled

out.

And you got nothing? All I can get

is, "I have nothing to say."

And that is all.

I'll come myself.

Perhaps the psychological approach

will be better.

You are not being courageous.

You're being stupid.

I have nothing to say.

We shall find Arnaud and Roger.

But you can save us time and

trouble.

I have nothing to say.

Then save yourself this.

I have nothing to say.

THEY SPEAK IN GERMAN

Get out.

I have nothing to say.

I have nothing to say.

GET OUT!

I have nothing to say.

I have nothing to say.

I have nothing...

My child.

What have they done to you?

Gott vergib ihnen.

Father.

If you...if you

see Captain Peter Churchill...

...in the men's division...

...do not tell him

what the Gestapo did.

He will not hear of it from me.

I am afraid if he knows...

...he will do something rash.

And then...

they will hurt him.

I understand.

Is there nothing I can do to help

you?

Would it be possible

so say a Mass?

I would gladly do so, my child.

But my duties here are to comfort the

dying

and to bury the dead.

I will ask...but I am sure the

Gestapo will not permit me.

Why...

...are they so afraid of God?

Good morning, sir. Good morning.

Where to, sir? Orchard Court, Baker

Street.

Thank you, sir.

Orchard Court, Baker Street.

I want to go back! Well, you can't

go back.

What news of Raoul and Lise?

Not a word. They must be still in

jail.

Yes, unless they've been shot. Look,

why can't I go back to France?

Never once have I used this gun.

Do you mind putting that away,

Arnaud? We don't like firearms.

You don't like firearms?

Look. Arnaud, I'm going to send you

on a course up to Scotland.

We've got a new transmission set I'd

like you to try out.

And that, Arnaud, is an order.

And then you promise me to drop me

back in France? Yes. That I promise.

OK.

Can I have a bath in this black

bath?

Of course.

Would you like to borrow one of my

detective stories?

HE SPEAKS GERMAN

Danke.

SOFTLY:
I have nothing to say.

I have nothing to say.

I have nothing to say.

Frau Churchill.

HE READS IN GERMAN

I do not understand German.

Very well.

Frau Churchill,

you are condemned to die.

You are a Frenchwoman

and a British agent.

On these two counts,

you are condemned to death.

You must make your own choice.

I can only die once.

HE CALLS OU THEY SPEAK IN GERMAN

Will you believe me when I say how

sorry,

how utterly ashamed I am?

What they have done to you had

nothing to do with me.

I could not prevent it.

That I do believe.

I have now come to tell you that...

...tomorrow you must go to police

headquarters

to have your fingerprints taken.

Why?

I am not a criminal.

Why do they not take them after I am

dead?

It would be so much easier.

It is the orders of the Gestapo

before you...

...before you go to Germany.

Lise, it is the Gestapo. It is not

my fault!

I am not responsible.

Do not keep saying that, Henri.

Whatever you say,

however much you try to hide

behind other people, you cannot

get away from the truth.

You are party to the horrors of this

war as much as any other Nazi.

Therefore, it IS your fault and your

responsibility.

Do not say again

"I am not responsible."

I...

I have nothing to say.

Is there anything I can do for you?

Yes, Henri, there is something.

Will my husband be at the police

headquarters tomorrow?

I believe so.

Will you arrange that he will be

there at the same time as I am?

I would like to say goodbye to him.

I will see that it is arranged.

And you will not tell him that I

have been condemned to death.

He will never hear it from me.

Oh, and Henri...

...would you be so kind as to have

this dirty blouse washed for me?

CLAMOUR OF VOICES

MAN BARKS AN ORDER

SILENCE FALLS:

Wonderful to see you.

I was wondering all night if you'd

be here.

How are they treating you? Not bad.

And you?

Not bad.

Were you interrogated? Yes. And you?

Did they hurt you? No. Can't think

why.

I've been terrified they do

something dreadful to you.

I wonder if Arnaud managed to get

away? Yes.

I heard through the grapevine in the

exercise yard he's got back to London.

Oh, poor Arnaud. He will hate that.

He'll get back somehow. Don't you

worry.

Oh, it was so good when I could hear

you sing!

It was wonderful to find out where

you were.

What happened about the broken

window?

Two days without soup. Bad luck.

Oh, it was worth it.

Why are you walking on your heels?

Oh, it is nothing.

Just that I walk so much round my

cell that...I get blisters on my feet.

Odette...

We'll meet again, won't we?

After the war is over.

Yes, Pierre.

We shall meet somewhere.

HE SHOUTS AN ORDER

Frau Churchill!

Herr Kommandant.

MAN SPEAKS IN GERMAN

Frau Churchill, Herr Kommandant.

IN GERMAN:

Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

I do not understand German.

You are Frau Churchill?

Yes.

Here in Ravensbruck,

you will not be Frau Churchill.

You will be known as Frau Schuller.

You will be put in the camp prison,

in solitary confinement

until your sentence of death has

been carried out.

HE SPEAKS IN GERMAN

The British are so lazy.

They speak only English.

I have heard Winston Churchill speaks

15 languages, Herr Kommandant.

Ach!

He can't even say "Nazi".

Naaaaaaah-zi.

When we get him, Otto,

no privileges.

No Cognac. No cigars.

THEY LAUGH:

Frau Schuller, no privileges for you.

No exercise, no bath,

and no light.

Peter Churchill.

Alias Pierre Chamberlin.

Alias Raoul.

The evidence from this man's wife.

Thank you.

It seems that you came to France

at your wife's instigation,

but that you were very

bad at your job, huh?

What?

You are, in fact, a playboy who thought

playing at being a spy was rather fun.

Well, let me assure you, Peter

Churchill,

that spying is a serious business.

It's more serious than ice hockey or

knocking policemen's helmets off at Oxford.

Cambridge, if you don't mind. What?

I said Cambridge.

What does it matter, Oxford or

Cambridge?

Oh, but it does, you know. Inform

Sachsenhausen they have a new guest.

Rather an important one. He is a

relation of Winston Churchill.

Have them prepare a room for him.

Yes, of course, and a bath!

THEY LAUGH:

Peter Churchill,

from these reports,

we do not propose to waste

any more time over you.

You will be sent to a special camp

for people of your kind

and remain there until England is
