Madame.

I'm Franze Dietrich,

a great admirer.

- You know Miss Albrecht?

- Yes.

She went to university

with my daughter.

You must come up to the apartment again

sometime, and bring your charming friend.

And if you see

my pretty girl,

tell her to call me.

I'm sorry.

I couldn't get them in bed.

They wanted to wait for you.

- Thank you, Hilda. Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Good night.

I'll take them upstairs.

Herr Dietrich.

Is late, Lina.

Too late for talking.

Lina?

Go away! I was already

called by the Gestapo.

They're coming here!

Go to Margrete's.

Hide for the night,

or you'll kill us all!

Hallo?

Yes.

My God, where are you?

They're combing the city for you.

Look out your front window.

Come up.

Come quickly.

- Are you all right?

- Yeah.

Is OK.

- You're blue.

- I'm cold.

Come. You don't know

how worried I've been.

- Friedrichs called me.

- He turned me away.

He had no choice.

They were watching him.

Here. What I want you to do is get out of

those clothes, run some hot bath water,

- Take a bath while we think of what to do.

- Margrete...

- Maybe change your looks.

- Margrete!

- You need papers.

- Margrete, I got the information.

On microfilm.

The location of the factory.

Is in Peenemnde.

Good.

Very good.

And where is the microfilm?

I hid it.

I wanted to make sure you were alone.

- Where? - Outside.

The phone booth. The coin box.

- The one right here?

- Yeah.

Good.

I'll get it.

Run a hot bath.

Cut your hair.

There's scissors.

Lina?

I pretended to make a call, so no one

would be suspicious of my being out there.

Oh God, forgive me!

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Forgive me.

They'll be here soon.

I'll make sure they take care of you.

What a bad way

for us to end.

Why now?

Why didn't you

turn me in before?

We've been watching Dietrich.

When you blundered into his house, we

thought we could use you to get information.

If he was loyal...

My cousins?

I'm sorry.

I work with the Reich.

And I confess, except for you,

I have no use for Jews.

Break the door!

Take the house!

Check the kitchen.

Quickly!

Two in the kitchen,

two straight ahead.

Quickly!

Secure everything!

- Quickly. Search the house!

- Yes, Sir.

Her shoes and handbag.

She jumped from the balcony!

Search the courtyard!

Find her!

Everybody out!

She's slipped through!

Quickly!

Out!

She's got to be

in the building.

She wouldn't have lasted

this long on the streets.

Look at this.

How do we get into

the basement?

I'm sorry.

Easy, easy.

OK.

This is for the pain.

You have to forget

about the pain.

I need you to do

the talking for me, OK?

Put your arm

on my shoulder.

OK?

Let's go.

I can't go any further.

They'd recognise me before they do her.

Good luck.

Hi.

I'm dying.

Forget about dying.

You're not allowed to die.

I've never seen you

look scared before.

I don't wanna lose you.

I wanna be with you.

Always.

Oh, God.

You wouldn't say that unless

you were sure I was gonna die.

I love you.

Swiss border!

All passengers out!

Linda.

Swiss border!

All out for the security

on the German side!

OK, let's go.

Stand aside!

This woman is ill!

Stand back!

Let this man pass!

What's wrong

with the woman?

Give me your papers.

Give me your papers!

What is wrong

with this woman!

The dates on these papers

are no longer valid.

As an SS officer,

you must be aware of this.

I demand an explanation.

I demand an explanation!

See what's wrong

with his throat!

Stop!

Do something!

They're on the German side!

Help them!

They're on Swiss soil!

Fast, please!

Fast!

It surprised no one that

Ed was too stubborn to die.

With one bullet that shattered his knee,

and another that punctured his lung,

he was conscious enough to hear news

reports of the bombing of Peenemnde

just 14 days later.

So you did get

the microfilm out?

Yes.

It was discovered

clutched in my hand when I was

brought to the hospital in Switzerland.

I'd hidden it in my glove,

knowing that it would be removed

if I were examined by a doctor,

and overlooked if I were

searched by an enemy.

Very clever.

How did you know that?

Did you ever see a movie

called Victory at Dawn?

I should have known.

Those are my sons.

Can I get them on TV?

Of course.

We'd be delighted.

There's my husband.

Ed, come.

Come here.

Help me.

Mr Leland.

Thank you both very,

very much.

sync, fix:

I'll be seeing you

In all the old,

familiar places

That this heart

of mine embraces

All day through

In a small caf

The park along the way

The children's carousel

The chestnut tree

The wishing well

And I'll be seeing you

In every lovely

summer's day

In everything thas

light and gay

I'll always think

of you that way

I'll find you in

the morning sun

And when the night is new

I'll be looking at the moon

But I'll be seeing...

You

In a small caf

The park along the way

The children's carousel

The chestnut tree

The wishing well

And I'll be seeing you

In every lovely

summer's day

In everything thas

light and gay

I'll always think

of you that way

I'll find you in

And when the night is new

But I'll be seeing...
