be getting somewhere.

Shh! There's somebody coming!

- It's Michele!

- Peter!

Thank heavens I found you.

- What are you doing here?

- I've come to show you

the tree.

- Is this some kind of trap?

- Oh, no! No, no!

What are you doing here?

Fayolle came to see me.

He told me everything.

I feel so ashamed,

I was thinking only for

myself.

Oh, Peter.

Can you ever forgive me?

Forgive you? Oh, my darling.

- Where do we go from here?

- I'll show you.

It's quite near.

Only we must go very quietly.

The Germans patrols are out.

Put up your hands!

So, the champagne merchants.

Our general

will be very pleased.

And the lady.

Nice trap, my lady.

I did not do it on purpose!

You believe that,

don't you, Peter?

What you tried to do was

splendid. We always knew

it might end like this.

- Maybe Raoul was lucky.

- Do not talk. Follow me.

- There is the tree.

- There's the tree.

RED:
Oh, bless its heart.

What the devil?

Did you get his name, sir?

I can take care of them,

I just can't switch off

this blasted music.

Come on over, you two.

Come on over before I do you!

Nice night, miss.

Come on, keep them hands up.

Nobby's the name, miss.

Excuse me, sir. With the

compliments of the missus.

I think this ought to

do the lady good.

Now tell us how you got hold

of the music box.

Well, sir, I've been feeling

very angry

Ever since I heard what they

done to Captain de Carnot.

And a short while back,

I come across the crew

Standing peacefully

by the side of the road,

reading a map. It was easy.

- Easy?

-(IMITATING MACHINE GUN)

You know, sir.

With their own gun, too!

What's the time?

2:
15.

That gives us just over

an hour before

our bomber boys come in.

If they come.

Course they'll come.

Hey, wait a minute,

This fellow's about my size.

Give me a hand with him,

will you?

All right, sir,

what's the idea?

What are you going to do now?

Something useful, I hope.

- You are not going to

risk your life again.

- Of course not, Michele.

- You ready, Nobby?

- I'm on me way, sir.

All present and correct, sir.

What's the time now?

-2:
23.

- I'll be back

as soon as I can.

If I'm not back in an hour,

carry on.

- You've got the photographs

and things?

- Yes, sir.

Michele will show you

the exact spot

where to guide them in.

When you've done that,

slip over to the other map

reference.

Right.

Be careful, Peter. Please.

Please, for me.

- Any music, sir?

- Yes, as loud as you'd like.

"Bridal Chorus" is just

what I want tonight.

- What are they going to do?

- I don't know.

But I can give

a jolly good guess.

Come on, you lot, get up!

Excuse me, sir.

- Isn't this the way to the

German headquarters?

- Mmm-hmm.

As near as

makes no difference.

Yes, I thought it might be.

- Casualty?

- No, I want to see

the officer in charge.

- He's asleep, Sergeant.

- Well, I must see somebody.

- There's a duty officer.

- Well, take me to him.

Please come with me.

- What do you want?

- Message from headquarters,

Herr Oberleutnant.

What does this mean?

The General wants the prisoner

you have sent to him

immediately.

Hasn't he been punished

enough?

Those are my orders from

Oberst Wiessner.

Well, it's most irregular.

- Why didn't Oberst Wiessner

telephone?

- The wires are cut.

- What, again?

- Yes, Herr Oberleutnant.

Oberst Wiessner said

he'd return the prisoner

in the morning

If he's still alive.

Do you happen to know

why they want this man

in such a hurry?

The two men waiting for the

British have been captured.

The General wants to face them

with the prisoner while

their nerves are still bad.

Wait for me here.

Dash, dot, dot, dot, dash,

Dot, dash, dot.

You go on like that. Got it?

Dash, dot, dot...

Well, Sergeant,

here is your man.

Will you sign for him?

This is very irregular.

- Please see he is brought back

here as soon as possible.

- Yes, Herr Oberleutnant.

The orderly will help you

with this man.

Hurry.

- How do you feel?

- I'm fine. Now.

Not bad, eh?

Transport provided by

the German Army.

- Ride 'em, cowboy!

- That's right. (LAUGHING)

(PHONE RINGING)

Yes? (SPEAKING GERMAN)

Ward three?

I'm coming at once.

Give me co-headquarters!

Korr? Put me through to

Oberst Wiessner.

What's that?

He is not back yet.

Well, someone in his office.

Hmm?

They're all in bed

except the duty officer.

Wait!

Tell me, have the wires been

cut tonight?

They haven't?

Give me the guard room!

3:
10.

First light coming up.

I wish he would come back.

Yes, I'd be pleased to

see him.

Came the dawn.

We'll leave the car here.

If we take it any further,

We lead Jerry straight to

our rendezvous.

- Think you manage

a few hundred yards?

- Eh, I can manage ten miles.

- Lend me a hand, Nobby.

- I'll tell you what, sir.

I'll drive the car on a bit,

and leave it peacefully

in a ditch.

That'll draw the chase away

from you.

- What makes you think

they're going to chase us?

- They're chasing you now, sir.

-(VEHICLES APPROACHING)

- How do you get back to

the beach?

Oh, I know the country like

the back of me hand, sir.

I'll meet you down the beach.

- If you can get away with it.

- I'll get away with it, sir.

Goodbye, good luck.

See you later.

I can't see any signal.

There it is, sir!

(ALL SHOUTING)

See you down there, chaps.

Here they come!

Our job's over.

- Is everything all right?

- I've got some Jerries for you

over there.

That's fine, I'll take care

of them. Sergeant, you know

what to do with them.

Yes, sir. Come on,

press on, men.

- Right, well, I'll hand over.

- Right.

Come along, we must go

down to the beach.

- We've got to get there

before they come back.

- But Peter...

We'll see him on the beach,

come on.

(GUNFIRE)

The English are here!

Come on, get ready!

To the boats!

Retreat to the boats!

- That's music to my ears.

- NOBBY:
Sir?

- Sir, all present

and correct, sir.

- Where's Major Garnett?

I had to leave him behind,

sir.

Something's happened to him.

- I feel it.

- Take it easy.

Don't worry, miss.

He'll be along in a minute.

- Here, put that on,

you look like a German.

- Oh, thank you, sir.

- Only a few more yards.

- Yeah, I'm enjoying

the stroll.

Peter!

Thank heavens you're safe!

- Everything all right?

- Now you're here,

everything's fine.

- This is Mackenzie.

- How do you do?

-Hello!

The boys are certainly doing

a good job, aren't they?

Yeah, and tonight's raid

won't be the last.

We'll go on hitting them

again and again,

then some more.

We'll show those Huns.

We'll give 'em war.

Excuse me, sir,

you better come with me.

The boat's not far away,

just a hop, skip and a jump.

- I beg your pardon.

-(LAUGHING)

That's all right with me.

The call signal's

just gone up.

We'll make them pay

for Raoul, Michele.

- We'd better hurry.

- I'm not coming with you.

I'm staying here.

Are you crazy?

Peter, if you and Raoul can

do all that you have done,

I can do a little, too.
