Secret Mission Page #7

---

To stay,

Just like you wanted.

Don't try to talk.

Home.

In France.

- Well?

- Nothing yet, Excellency.

It is preposterous!

But I will not let anybody

make a fool of me,

not anybody!

- Do you understand?

- (PHONE BUZZING)

- Oberst Wiessner.

- Thank you.

Reichman here. Yes.

What's that?

Yes, I understand.

Ribbentrop doesn't know them?

I thought as much.

Thank you, Wiessner.

Ribbentrop doesn't know them!

Ribbentrop doesn't know them,

we should have arrested them

on the spot!

But we will find them!

- We must find them!

- Yes, sir. We'll find them.

Look, here is a moor.

They must have gone this way.

I don't want to hear any more.

Please go now, at once.

- But listen...

- If you don't go,

I will call in the Germans.

- And they will take you away

by force!

- Michele!

Keep out of it, it has nothing

to do with you!

You came here uninvited.

You brought with you danger,

deceit, and now death.

Need I say any more?

(DOOR SLAMS)

You must forgive her,

monsieur.

When she is calmer,

she will be so very, very

sorry for what she has said.

I know she will.

Thank you for being

so kind to us.

It is nothing, monsieur.

- Thank you.

- (VIOLETTE EXCLAIMS IN FRENCH)

Are you sure there aren't any

men hidden in that house?

I don't think so.

But you are a very clever

little boy, surely you must

have noticed?

- Yes, I have noticed.

- Yes?

There aren't any men

in the house.

Come inside.

Please excuse us.

(MURMURING IN FRENCH)

The Germans are always

questioning the children.

- That was good, Michele.

- Do you mind if we thank you?

Don't thank me, monsieur.

It's just that most of all,

I hate Germans.

- We must catch them!

We must!

- We will.

Don't sit there, do something!

- Well?

- The trail led

near the chateau,

- but the men were not there.

- Idiot!

We'll find them,

wherever they are hiding.

Come with me.

I'll feel better when we've

got this message off.

- Does Fayolle know

we're coming?

- Yes, sure.

Excuse.

You know, I like this place.

I like the people.

I could settle down here

if it wasn't for

the blasted Germans.

Don't get sentimental now.

Don't you ever feel like

I feel?

Yes, only not quite so often.

(SOLDIER YELLING IN GERMAN)

At once, monsieur, at once!

I'll give him them the cure,

you watch.

- (YELLING IN GERMAN)

- Coming, monsieur, at once.

(SHOOING)

(SPEAKING FRENCH)

(SOLDIERS TOASTING IN GERMAN)

Who are those two men?

- Gestapo.

- Gestapo.

I think you had better go,

monsieur.

They just asked me

who you were,

I said you were Gestapo.

Well, then we had better go.

Perhaps one day after the war,

you will visit

my little cafe, huh?

We'll come back again,

don't you worry.

Maybe sooner than you think.

- Thank you, monsieur.

- Where's your husband?

Oh, monsieur, don't take him

from me!

He is very naughty,

but I love him.

Yes, I know, but where is he?

He's there.

Give that to Fayolle,

it's urgent.

Look as much like

a Gestapo man as you can.

Hey.

Hey, you!

Hey!

Hey, you! Hey!

- (GLASSES SHATTERING)

- (ALL SHOUTING)

- What do you want?

- Monsieur Fayolle.

He's not in.

Well, this is very awkward.

I've got a message for him.

You can give it to me.

I am his daughter.

Oh, yes. Yes,

I've heard about you.

You're all right.

- This is to be sent to

London as soon as possible.

- Thank you.

- Hey, mind that cigarette.

- Yeah.

And where do we go from here?

Somehow we've got to find

our rendezvous.

Raoul said it was a big tree

in a clearing.

We might search this wood

for a week.

Didn't he say they used to

play there as kids,

or something?

- Mmm.

- Well, Michele will know

where it is.

- She might.

- Well, go and ask her.

No, we can't

go back to Michele.

Oh, I know how you feel,

Peter, but this is a matter

of success or failure.

ANNOUNCER ON RADIO:

This is London calling in the

European service of the BBC.

Before we continue with the

next item on our program,

Here is a recording of

organ music by Bach.

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

Mademoiselle.

What are you doing here?

I told you never to come back.

Mademoiselle,

we need your help.

We have a rendezvous

in the wood tonight

at an old tree.

Raoul told us you used to

play there as kids.

We don't know where it is.

- Will you please tell us?

- No.

If we don't find it,

we can't get home,

and our mission's failed.

That is no business of mine.

Raoul was going to

take us there.

Don't dare to mention

his name here.

I would not lift a finger to

help you escape.

You killed him!

- Don't talk like that,

Michele.

- Get out of here!

Find your own way home.

I told you, if you stay here,

I will turn you over

to the German soldiers.

- Come on.

- (VEHICLES APPROACHING)

Get into the pantry.

- (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

- Open the door, Violette.

Good evening, mademoiselle.

I've come to ask you if you

happen to have seen two men

Who are believed to be

in this neighborhood.

(SPEAKING GERMAN)

With your kind permission,

I'll have a little look

around.

I thought I heard voices.

- Yes?

- Yes.

Oh, there's something else

I want to ask you.

We are a bit overcrowded

in our headquarters.

We have so many troops,

and the General wishes you to

take 12 officers here.

Kindly see that their rooms

are prepared.

(BOTH SPEAKING GERMAN)

(HITLER SPEAKING GERMAN

ON RADIO)

Mademoiselle!

(APPLAUSE ON RADIO)

BBC ANNOUNCER:
This is

the kind of speech with which

Herr Hitler is still trying to

- impress the German people.

- (TURNS OFF)

(VEHICLES LEAVING)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

- Who is there?

- (KNOCKING CONTINUES)

Fayolle.

Forgive me, mademoiselle.

But I must see your brother.

- He is not here.

- But I know he is here.

I spoke to him yesterday,

with the others.

- I tell you,

he is not here anymore.

- You do not understand me.

I have come to help him,

I must see him to help him.

To help him?

Like you and your German

friends did last night?

With bullets in his back?

Go back and tell your masters

they were completely

successful.

Go back and... (SOBBING)

This is terrible news

for us, too, mademoiselle.

You see, we're working

for the same cause.

Your brother, and ourselves.

I hoped we wouldn't

have to tell you.

I almost believed you

for a second.

But it has not worked

after all.

Mademoiselle,

you must believe us.

What you have just heard

might mean death to

both of us.

Our lives are in your hands.

You mean

That all this time, you've

been working against

the Germans?

You've been despised by us.

Insulted.

- And all along...

- Oh, there was so little that

we could do.

France deserves better

than that.

Yes.

And I thought...

Mademoiselle, it is urgent

that we warn the others.

The Germans are patrolling

everywhere.

- They are going to patrol

the woods tonight.

- This is awful.

- They were both here

a short time ago, but...

- Where are they now?

I'm not sure.

But I must find them!

Thank you, mademoiselle.

These trees look

all alike to me, we must
