on a desert island.
You should have got in there,
made a play for her tonight.
Didn't you sense the emotion
that was in the air?
Thanks to me.
God, I'm tired, so tired.
Will you turn out the light, please?
Mother had an attack in the night.
She's very bad.
- Why didn't you call me?
- It wouldn't have helped.
She wants the priest.
I said everyone was tested
sooner or later, everyone.
And then you know
what you are.
I am a coward, just like him.
We're one of a kind.
When it came to it,
I didn't pass the test either.
- Why are you tormenting yourself?
- I should have shot him. I said I would.
You can't give a man shelter,
walk away, find a gun...
- then shoot him in cold blood.
- Why not?
He did to Michel as good as.
Er, you needn't think about
Chavel any longer. He's gone.
- When?
- Earlier this morning.
I would have expected...
You told him to go.
Michel's really dead now.
Terese.
You've been so kind to me.
To us.
So understanding.
I couldn't have managed on my own.
Could you fetch the priest?
Yes, of course.
I wonder where Chavel will go?
Switzerland, probably.
When I went into Mother, she was
frightened. She wanted me to pray for her.
I knelt there, mumbling all that
stuff about forgiveness of sins.
I felt terrible.
You didn't seem so anxious to
forgive him before you saw him.
It's not so easy to hate a face
you know as a face you imagine.
I'll fetch the priest.
I'll take the short
cut over the field.
Yes?
Who is it? What is it?
Sorry to trouble you, Father.
It's Madame Mangeot.
Oh, yes. I was expecting
something of the kind.
- It's heart trouble, I suppose?
- Yes, her daughter asked me...
Is it raining outside?
- No, it's not.
- Good. That's good. That's good.
Can I take that, Father?
She's breathing a
little easier now.
Thank you, Father.
Send for me if you need me.
I'll go to the market.
I'll be back as quick as I can.
I'm sorry to break
in on you again.
I got as far as the village and I heard
about your mother. I'm so very sorry.
- I hope it wasn't me.
Oh, good. I wouldn't want
to add to her troubles.
that night.
The night?
- He died in the night?
- Yes, of course. In the night.
- But Jean said he died in the morning.
- I'm afraid he was lying.
Why? To make me look
worse than I am, I suppose.
I mean, it is worse to let a man die
after a whole night to think about it.
Yes.
He said you tried
once to call it off.
Yes.
I didn't have another chance.
- They took him away.
- I knew it was in the night.
I woke suddenly with a pain.
- Why did he say that...?
- You don't know this man.
He's a liar, and a cheat.
But you bought your life.
There are so many things
you don't understand.
- Your brother was a sick man.
- I know.
He loved you very much.
He worried about what would happen
to you, the money, Germans...
He showed me your photograph.
He didn't have
a photograph of me.
But he... Oh, I know,
it was a picture torn out of a newspaper.
Er, a street scene.
A beautiful girl, half-hidden in the crowd.
I suppose it reminded him of you.
People do funny things in prison.
Then, he...
asked me what I would
give for his blank slip.
What?
- He asked you?
- I know I'm a coward. I took his offer.
If I'd been guilty of
worse than that,
dared to come back?
I don't expect
you to believe me.
Why should you?
Goodbye and God bless.
There is just one thing that
- Thought you'd left.
- I decided to stay.
I had a long talk with the girl. Gave her
my version of what happened that night.
It's terribly unfair.
But that's life, isn't it?
She's very angry.
- She's letting you stay?
- She hadn't any choice.
I told her about the decree of the 17th
of August. She hadn't heard about it.
You haven't either, have you?
It makes illegal all changes of property
under the German occupation
if one party disputes the deal.
It's true.
I'm not making it up.
So as far as she's concerned,
the place is mine.
You can't make use of it. You're on
the run, a collaborator, wanted for murder.
Ah, yes, you saw the posters.
I'll just have to lie low until it's
safe to push on to Switzerland.
Things will quieten down.
Even a day's shelter is a help
in my situation. Or a week.
Anyway, it's time you left.
- You think I'll say nothing?
I wouldn't want the girl hurt
and as you so very rightly say,
I'm already wanted for murder,
so I've nothing to lose.
Do you think Chavel will show up?
Is he the type?
Probably he's on
his way here now.
Well, if the worst comes to the worst,
I've got the gun, haven't I?
Yes, I've got the gun.
So don't get any... clever ideas.
I'd use it on the girl first.
You won't forget that, will you?
She's very upset about
all the lies you told her.
- What lies?
- That her brother died in the morning.
Where is she?
With her mother.
No need to disturb her.
Just pick up your bits and pieces
and clear out, quietly.
Terese,
I've got to talk to you.
No more lies.
I know the truth about Michel's death.
- I told you the truth about that.
- Did you?
- He died in the night. I felt the pain.
- Terese...
Listen, it didn't happen that way.
- I'm sorry. I'll get him.
Pater noster, qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum,
adveniat regnum tuum
fiat voluntas tua,
sicut in caelo et in terra...
Yes, it was an easy death.
No struggle. Of course,
you know that you'll have to move out of
the house. You know, you understand that.
In the circumstances. Or she'll have to
have someone come in from the village.
- as a companion.
- That's for her to decide.
Yes, I know,
but she's very young.
Simple sort of person.
She's seen life in Paris.
She's not just a country girl.
One place is a lot like another.
It's all a question of observation
and a little wisdom.
this backwater of a place.
And I haven't missed very much,
I can tell you.
Of life, I mean.
You seem to be a man
of some education.
Erm, are you telling me that
this is none of my business?
- What are you saying?
- I'm talking about human nature.
I mean, you can't sit day
after day as I do,
listening to people, men and women,
telling about themselves
without getting to know something
about human nature.
And she's in a state now where
she might do something foolish.
- She's mourning for her mother.
- These emotions have things in common.
People talk about the
sorrow there is in lust.
But you forget that sometimes
there's a little lust in sorrow too.
You wouldn't want to take advantage
of that, would you, my son?
Please trust me, Father.
I only want what's good for her.
That's good.
Very good.
Why can't you all
leave me alone?
