0:00:15 > 0:00:18SHOUTING IN DISTANCE
0:00:34 > 0:00:37SHOUTING INTENSIFIES
0:01:00 > 0:01:02How far to the border?
0:01:02 > 0:01:09Not far. Unless they changed it again since I was here last.
0:01:09 > 0:01:13Round here a man can rise from his bed in Poland,
0:01:13 > 0:01:16go down to the kitchen and find himself in Germany.
0:01:26 > 0:01:28You're getting well, they tell me.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32- Playing football soon, eh? - I hope so, sir.
0:01:32 > 0:01:35- You've been over there a few times? - Yes.
0:01:35 > 0:01:39Did you see something? That made them angry enough to shoot you?
0:01:40 > 0:01:44Soldiers. With shovels and machinery.
0:01:44 > 0:01:46- What kind of machinery? - Moving the earth.
0:01:55 > 0:02:00We warned Stefan not to go over after they strengthened the border.
0:02:00 > 0:02:03- Are there patrols? - Every two hours.
0:02:05 > 0:02:06We should take a closer look.
0:02:07 > 0:02:13- There's a new moon in two weeks. - I'll arrange it.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55BLADES CLANG
0:03:06 > 0:03:08Who's the man fencing with your brother?
0:03:08 > 0:03:10Colonel Jean-Francois Mercier.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13And what does the gallant Colonel do?
0:03:13 > 0:03:15He's the Military Attache at the French Embassy.
0:03:15 > 0:03:17He's only been in Warsaw six months.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20Married? Widowed?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22Don't get your hopes up, Cecylia.
0:03:23 > 0:03:25I already have my eye on him.
0:04:12 > 0:04:13How did this happen?
0:04:15 > 0:04:16A bayonet.
0:04:19 > 0:04:20And this?
0:04:22 > 0:04:23A sniper's bullet.
0:04:26 > 0:04:27Where else should I look?
0:04:31 > 0:04:35The doctor says there's still some shrapnel in my left knee.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38Most men of your generation have scars of some sort.
0:04:39 > 0:04:43Unless, like my husband, they spent the war at home and got rich.
0:04:45 > 0:04:48Well, if there's another he'll get even richer.
0:04:48 > 0:04:50Crazy talk, surely?
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Countess!
0:05:04 > 0:05:07I was... I was... I was beginning to think...
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Champagne! You wicked boy.
0:05:37 > 0:05:39Herr Uhl.
0:05:41 > 0:05:44- You look pale. - Too little sleep.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46What have you got for me?
0:05:46 > 0:05:50The first diagrams for the new tank turret.
0:05:52 > 0:05:54What's different?
0:05:54 > 0:05:57- It's the same. But now the plates are to be...- One beer for you.
0:05:57 > 0:06:03The plates are to be face-hardened. That means carbon cementation.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Very expensive but the strength is greatly increased.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08Next time we'd like to see the formula
0:06:08 > 0:06:12- for the face-hardening process. - Next time? I'm not sure
0:06:12 > 0:06:15- I'll be able...- 15th November. - There are many problems.
0:06:15 > 0:06:17There are always problems in this sort of work
0:06:17 > 0:06:18but you can use the money.
0:06:18 > 0:06:21The Countess has expensive tastes.
0:06:23 > 0:06:24A thousand zlotys.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Go on. Let me finish my beer.
0:06:41 > 0:06:44BELL RINGS
0:06:50 > 0:06:52- Morning.- Morning.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03The embassy are holding a dinner for our people from Renault.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05They're coming here to sell their tanks.
0:07:05 > 0:07:06That won't be easy.
0:07:07 > 0:07:11The information I've received suggests to me that the
0:07:11 > 0:07:13Germans are preparing for a different kind of combat.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Is this another one of
0:07:15 > 0:07:18your gloomy predictions about the likelihood of war?
0:07:18 > 0:07:20There are certain indications.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24If so, try to use your influence to persuade the Poles to buy French.
0:07:33 > 0:07:35They've paired us off for this dinner,
0:07:35 > 0:07:37but I'm fighting a cold, Jean-Francois.
0:07:37 > 0:07:39If you give it to me we could both be excused.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42You're not getting out of it that easily.
0:07:42 > 0:07:46But I've found you a substitute. Anna Skarbek, a delightful girl.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51A lawyer with the League of Nations.
0:07:51 > 0:07:54And afterwards there will be dancing.
0:07:54 > 0:07:56I'll try not to step on her toes.
0:08:26 > 0:08:28I'm looking for Madame Skarbek.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31She's almost ready. Come in.
0:08:35 > 0:08:39- Anna, your general is here! - Coming!
0:08:41 > 0:08:44Not quite a general. Lieutenant colonel.
0:08:44 > 0:08:47- A brave one too by the look of it.- A lucky one. I'm alive.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52As am I. I survived bloody Bolsheviks.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56- I'm Maxim.- Jean-Francois.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10- Will this do?- Splendidly.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13I don't go to many formal dinners.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16It's very kind of you to do this at such short notice.
0:09:16 > 0:09:20Madame Dupin does favours for everyone so how could I refuse?
0:09:21 > 0:09:24- Don't bring her back too late, eh? - Don't drink too much.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36- Have you always lived in Warsaw? - No, I've been here just over a year.
0:09:36 > 0:09:39My work means I travel a lot.
0:09:39 > 0:09:40So where's home?
0:09:40 > 0:09:44I'm Parisian by birth, Polish by heritage.
0:09:44 > 0:09:46So we have Paris in common.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48In case we run out of conversation?
0:09:48 > 0:09:50I'm sure we won't do that, Madame Skarbek.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Anna, please. And it's Mam'selle. For a while anyhow.
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Good evening.
0:10:09 > 0:10:10Evening.
0:10:10 > 0:10:13Anna, here you are. Would you excuse us?
0:10:13 > 0:10:15I think they want us at table.
0:10:15 > 0:10:17So nice talking to you, Monsieur Blanc.
0:10:19 > 0:10:21I'm sorry, were you trapped?
0:10:21 > 0:10:25Not at all. He's an engineer specialising in treads.
0:10:25 > 0:10:27Fascinating.
0:10:27 > 0:10:31Mercier, you dog! Where have you been hiding this beautiful lady?
0:10:31 > 0:10:34Anna Skarbek, this is Colonel Antoni Pakulski.
0:10:34 > 0:10:37That does not answer my question.
0:10:37 > 0:10:38We met an hour ago.
0:10:39 > 0:10:42Really? We are old friends.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45I was with him when he won this. The Virtuti Militari.
0:10:45 > 0:10:48How did a Frenchman win a Polish medal?
0:10:48 > 0:10:50He was attached to my cavalry squadron in 1920.
0:10:50 > 0:10:52We fought off the Red Army together.
0:10:52 > 0:10:53Just the two of you?
0:10:53 > 0:10:56There may have been others, I don't recall.
0:10:56 > 0:10:58Promise me a dance later.
0:11:02 > 0:11:04Dancing?
0:11:04 > 0:11:08Yes. So I would advise against all six courses.
0:11:08 > 0:11:09Is this something you do often?
0:11:11 > 0:11:14Unhappily, almost every night.
0:11:14 > 0:11:19I sip the wine, taste the food, find everyone fascinating.
0:11:19 > 0:11:20A good motto for diplomacy.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22It's one way to save the world.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34JAUNTY TUNE PLAYS
0:11:38 > 0:11:40You dance well, Jean-Francois.
0:11:40 > 0:11:42My wife loved to dance.
0:11:43 > 0:11:44What happened?
0:11:46 > 0:11:47Consumption. Three years ago.
0:11:47 > 0:11:49I'm sorry.
0:11:53 > 0:11:54You must miss your wife.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58I do. She made these evenings tolerable.
0:12:01 > 0:12:02As have you.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06It's been an unexpected pleasure.
0:12:10 > 0:12:13And I've learned so much about this tank.
0:12:13 > 0:12:15I worry about the armament -
0:12:15 > 0:12:18a 37-millimetre cannon with only one machine gun?
0:12:18 > 0:12:20You've been talking to Colonel Pakulski.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23He thinks it's not much of a machine for Poland's money.
0:12:23 > 0:12:26Better than nothing if German tanks roll across the border.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30But if they do, surely the gallant French will rush to our rescue?
0:12:33 > 0:12:36- May I?- Of course.
0:12:46 > 0:12:50Oh, not a good idea after Scotch, claret and slivovitz.
0:12:50 > 0:12:52Not a good idea at all.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58You know everything, Antoni.
0:12:58 > 0:13:01What's the story with this Russian she lives with?
0:13:03 > 0:13:05Maxim Mostov. White Russian.
0:13:06 > 0:13:09He's lived in many places since he left his homeland.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13He makes a living as a political journalist. Mostly attacking Stalin.
0:13:13 > 0:13:15Talks too much and drinks even more.
0:13:15 > 0:13:19- Why is she with him? - Who knows with women?
0:13:19 > 0:13:21How long have they been together?
0:13:22 > 0:13:27Long enough, is that what you are thinking? Careful, my friend.
0:13:37 > 0:13:39It's 3.30. I was told not to bring you back too late.
0:13:39 > 0:13:43Max will be asleep. Don't bother to see me upstairs.
0:13:44 > 0:13:46And thank you for a memorable evening.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03TRAIN WHISTLE BLOWS
0:15:09 > 0:15:10Coffee, please.
0:15:12 > 0:15:16And another chocolate for Madame.
0:15:17 > 0:15:20Always so punctual, Colonel.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23Were you on time for your rendezvous with Herr Uhl?
0:15:23 > 0:15:26For him the Countess is always late.
0:15:26 > 0:15:31She can be difficult at times. I rather like her.
0:15:31 > 0:15:33Of course he thinks she's penniless.
0:15:33 > 0:15:36He loaned her some more of your money. Do you want it back?
0:15:36 > 0:15:40No keep it, Olga. We've made your usual deposit.
0:15:40 > 0:15:44- We're appreciative of what you do. - Perhaps I was born to be a spy.
0:15:44 > 0:15:46We adapt to the times we live in.
0:15:47 > 0:15:49There's a French saying,
0:15:49 > 0:15:53"Wherever God has planted you, you must know how to flower."
0:15:53 > 0:15:55It's certainly an improvement on what came before.
0:15:59 > 0:16:00How did you find Herr Uhl?
0:16:00 > 0:16:03His trips to Warsaw are the high points of his life.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Otherwise he labours away, the good family man.
0:16:07 > 0:16:11He'll be back next month. Though he showed some reluctance.
0:16:11 > 0:16:15Oh, he'll come. He may even be in love with the Countess.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18Am I overplaying my part?
0:17:03 > 0:17:04My scarf - I left it.
0:17:11 > 0:17:13- Fuck these people. - Please!
0:17:14 > 0:17:15Not yet.
0:17:19 > 0:17:20Now.
0:18:24 > 0:18:27They still have patrols out there.
0:18:27 > 0:18:30The next one comes through at 9.35.
0:18:30 > 0:18:33- They're always prompt? - Like a clock.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- Dogs?- Always. Sure you want to do this, Colonel?
0:18:38 > 0:18:42If they see you they'll shoot on sight.
0:18:42 > 0:18:44If we don't show up, do something with the car.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25- All right?- I'm OK.
0:19:43 > 0:19:44What is it?
0:19:45 > 0:19:47It's a tank trap.
0:19:51 > 0:19:54Why are they covering their tank traps? That doesn't make sense.
0:20:08 > 0:20:10Go for the light.
0:20:10 > 0:20:12GUNFIRE
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Go, go, go, go, go!
0:20:19 > 0:20:21SHOUTING IN DISTANCE
0:20:21 > 0:20:22DOGS GROWL
0:20:31 > 0:20:34DOGS BARK
0:20:40 > 0:20:42SHOUTING CONTINUES
0:20:45 > 0:20:47DOGS BARK
0:20:49 > 0:20:53SHOUTING INTENSIFIES
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I looked for you last night.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20Did you forget the Prince and I were holding a soiree?
0:21:20 > 0:21:24It was impossible to get away, Princess. Paperwork. Reams of it.
0:21:25 > 0:21:28Hmm, and what's this, a paper cut?
0:21:35 > 0:21:36I read your report.
0:21:36 > 0:21:39- A near miss by the sound of it. - I was fortunate.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41What if you were caught? Or you'd shot someone?
0:21:41 > 0:21:44- Christ, how would we explain that? - I wasn't. And no-one was.
0:21:44 > 0:21:46Paris will take a dim view of this.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48What are you, what are you trying to prove?
0:21:48 > 0:21:51I thought I made that clear.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54They're covering traps so their own tanks won't be impeded.
0:21:54 > 0:21:56- If they invade, you mean. - Hitler is intent on war,
0:21:56 > 0:21:59it's only a question of who he picks a fight with first.
0:22:05 > 0:22:08Dear Colonel! How has life been treating you?
0:22:08 > 0:22:11Very well, Madame Rozen. And yourselves?
0:22:11 > 0:22:13Could be better, but we can't complain.
0:22:19 > 0:22:20Is he a friend of yours?
0:22:20 > 0:22:24Not exactly. A compatriot, but an emigre.
0:22:24 > 0:22:27Sad how some people abandon us. Some of the brightest.
0:22:27 > 0:22:31Not everyone wants to build socialism, my love.
0:22:31 > 0:22:34Well, it isn't an easy life, where we come from, why not admit it?
0:22:34 > 0:22:38- But, Colonel, better than what we had before.- Excuse me.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Anna.
0:22:51 > 0:22:52I know you find these occasions boring
0:22:52 > 0:22:55but I'm beginning to enjoy them.
0:22:55 > 0:22:57Or is it the champagne?
0:22:57 > 0:22:58The champagne helps.
0:22:59 > 0:23:02- So you know the Rozens. - Everyone knows them.
0:23:02 > 0:23:04Do they try to recruit you?
0:23:04 > 0:23:08Max says everyone at the Russian Embassy is a spy, even the janitor.
0:23:08 > 0:23:11Well, Malka offers to cook me borscht from time to time.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15They despise Max of course, because of what he writes.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19It's not so far from the Russian experiment...
0:23:19 > 0:23:23I'd better get him home. He's cornered the American Ambassador.
0:23:26 > 0:23:29You Americans go weak at the knees when you hear the word
0:23:29 > 0:23:31"socialism" but what else can you call it?
0:23:45 > 0:23:47Why is she with this Russian?
0:23:47 > 0:23:50You hate Russians as much as Germans, Marek?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Nothing to choose. One to the east, one to the west.
0:23:56 > 0:23:59Both waiting to crush Poland like a walnut.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04You wish to go on somewhere, boss? Restaurant? Nightclub?
0:24:07 > 0:24:09No, I want to go home and get this bloody collar off.
0:24:40 > 0:24:47Countess, since you introduced me to the Frenchman, my life has changed.
0:24:49 > 0:24:52It has brought us closer, of course,
0:24:52 > 0:24:59but, I am caught up in a dangerous game and these are dangerous times.
0:24:59 > 0:25:02- You don't wish to see me again? - Oh, no, of course I do.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05You know how I feel about you.
0:25:07 > 0:25:10But perhaps we have to think of our future.
0:25:11 > 0:25:12Together?
0:25:13 > 0:25:14Why not?
0:25:16 > 0:25:19Edvard, I have already fled the country of my birth.
0:25:19 > 0:25:23I don't know where is safe any more.
0:25:27 > 0:25:29Safe would be with me.
0:25:52 > 0:25:53Here it is.
0:25:59 > 0:26:03The final blueprints should be complete by next month.
0:26:03 > 0:26:05Then that's when we'll meet next.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07Ah, that's difficult.
0:26:07 > 0:26:09On the eighth me and two other engineers,
0:26:09 > 0:26:13- we have to go to Schramberg in the Black Forest.- What for?
0:26:13 > 0:26:17To observe tank exercises. We're being asked for our recommendations.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Exercises? You mean manoeuvres?
0:26:19 > 0:26:21Manoeuvres, yes, I suppose so.
0:26:21 > 0:26:25Tanks don't go in forests, Herr Uhl. There are trees in forests.
0:26:27 > 0:26:31I'm not a military man. How would I know what they're up to?
0:26:34 > 0:26:35Let's meet a week later.
0:26:36 > 0:26:41I will do that. But then it ends.
0:26:41 > 0:26:43Last time, the Gestapo were at the border. I had to elude them,
0:26:43 > 0:26:46scramble down the tracks and take a taxi to the next station.
0:26:46 > 0:26:47What were you frightened of?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50What if they asked me what I was doing in Warsaw?!
0:26:50 > 0:26:52Tell them you were seeing a lady.
0:26:52 > 0:26:53Adultery is not yet a crime.
0:27:15 > 0:27:17Herr Uhl?
0:27:17 > 0:27:18Yes?
0:27:19 > 0:27:21I'm Renata. The Countess's niece.
0:27:21 > 0:27:25She wanted me to catch you before you went to the station.
0:27:25 > 0:27:28- Is she unwell? - No, no, no.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30She says it's important that she tells you something
0:27:30 > 0:27:32before you catch your train.
0:28:11 > 0:28:14- Who is the girl? - What girl?
0:28:14 > 0:28:18The blonde who met your man. He went off with her.
0:28:18 > 0:28:20Hard to blame him, she was very pretty.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21Was she a prostitute?
0:28:21 > 0:28:24Why would he want a tart after a night with his Countess?
0:28:26 > 0:28:27Which way did they go?
0:28:27 > 0:28:29Towards Muranow.
0:28:29 > 0:28:30Let's get after them.
0:29:09 > 0:29:10The Countess lives here?
0:29:11 > 0:29:15She tells me without your help it would be somewhere worse.
0:30:23 > 0:30:25I don't like this. Something isn't right.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41What's going on?
0:30:41 > 0:30:43The man is sick.
0:30:43 > 0:30:44He's not sick, he's drugged.
0:31:15 > 0:31:17It's chloroform.
0:31:17 > 0:31:18Is he dead?
0:31:18 > 0:31:19There's a pulse.
0:31:19 > 0:31:21It's faint, but it's there.
0:31:23 > 0:31:26An abduction in public, brawling in the streets!
0:31:26 > 0:31:28Are we to look forward to this in the morning papers?
0:31:28 > 0:31:31No, Jourdain, I made some calls and put the lid on it.
0:31:31 > 0:31:32Who was this man?
0:31:32 > 0:31:33A contact.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36You mean a spy. Will he live?
0:31:36 > 0:31:38Yes, but he can't go back to Germany.
0:31:38 > 0:31:41I'd like to assure him that we can help with some kind of relocation.
0:31:41 > 0:31:42On what grounds?
0:31:42 > 0:31:43He's earned it.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46And I intend to follow up on what he told me.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Try to remember, Colonel, that your function here is covert,
0:31:49 > 0:31:51which means we want to hear as little as possible
0:31:51 > 0:31:54about what you get up to.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56You don't look well - are you all right?
0:31:56 > 0:31:58A slight headache.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Well, I presume you're in some sort of disguise.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04If not, let me get you the name of my tailor.
0:32:09 > 0:32:13I was hoping for South Africa. I already applied for a visa.
0:32:13 > 0:32:15That was unwise.
0:32:15 > 0:32:17If the Gestapo found out, that might explain why
0:32:17 > 0:32:19they tried to snatch you when they did.
0:32:19 > 0:32:23But you can get me there? Yes? A new life?
0:32:23 > 0:32:27No. German agents will be waiting for you.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28It has to be somewhere French.
0:32:28 > 0:32:30Canada perhaps.
0:32:30 > 0:32:32Canada?
0:32:32 > 0:32:36Would it be possible for the Countess to join me there?
0:32:39 > 0:32:41Herr Uhl...
0:32:41 > 0:32:43she's not a Countess.
0:32:43 > 0:32:45Nor was she ever in love with you.
0:32:53 > 0:32:55He's awake, then?
0:32:55 > 0:32:57Awake to the facts of life.
0:32:57 > 0:33:01Officially, he died of cardiac arrest, brought on by asphyxiation.
0:33:01 > 0:33:03That should throw the Germans off the trail.
0:33:03 > 0:33:04Thank you.
0:33:07 > 0:33:09Have you noticed how young these nurses are?
0:33:09 > 0:33:11Or is it just that we're getting older?
0:33:11 > 0:33:12I'm afraid so, Antoni.
0:33:27 > 0:33:31Ich habe so eben ein Telegramm aus Warschau erhalten.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Uhl ist tot.
0:33:33 > 0:33:37Sie haben also nicht nur seine Entfuehrung versaut.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Sie haben ihn verdammt nochmal getoetet!
0:33:40 > 0:33:42Vollidiot.
0:33:42 > 0:33:45Ich kann das nicht glauben, Herr Sturmbannfuehrer.
0:33:45 > 0:33:47Gehen Sie zu seiner Witwe.
0:33:47 > 0:33:49Um unser Beileid auszusprechen?
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Nein, Sie Koffer.
0:33:51 > 0:33:53Stellen Sie das Haus auf den Kopf.
0:33:56 > 0:33:58Was versteckst du, Zoller?
0:33:58 > 0:34:00Bist du Jude?
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Some pieces are missing.
0:34:12 > 0:34:15I can't find this one, I can't find it anywhere.
0:34:17 > 0:34:19Are you sleeping better?
0:34:21 > 0:34:22Not really.
0:34:22 > 0:34:26They don't treat me very well here, you know.
0:34:26 > 0:34:29The younger ones seem to forget that this was my house once.
0:34:29 > 0:34:32And if it was, I'd dismiss most of them.
0:34:34 > 0:34:36How's Warsaw?
0:34:36 > 0:34:38Cold and wet.
0:34:38 > 0:34:41Is there a man in your life?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43I've told you about Max.
0:34:43 > 0:34:46Oh, he's still in the picture?
0:34:46 > 0:34:48Yes, Mother.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51Well, I wonder why it is you've never brought him here to see me.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Because you don't like Russians.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Well, that's true. Or Germans.
0:34:56 > 0:35:00If we'd stayed in Paris, you'd be married to a Frenchman by now.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04I met one recently.
0:35:04 > 0:35:06He seemed quite taken with me.
0:35:06 > 0:35:08Does he have land?
0:35:08 > 0:35:10I've no idea.
0:35:10 > 0:35:13Well, they often pretend they do and then they turn out to be penniless.
0:35:13 > 0:35:15I mean, your Russian doesn't have money.
0:35:20 > 0:35:23I need a piece of blue sky with a little bit of green.
0:35:35 > 0:35:37The Germans tried to snatch Herr Uhl.
0:35:37 > 0:35:39It could be the Gestapo is onto him.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41They may know about you.
0:35:41 > 0:35:46If so, they'll be looking for the Countess Potocki, not Olga Musser.
0:35:46 > 0:35:48Even so, we should take precautions.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50A bodyguard, perhaps?
0:35:50 > 0:35:53Tall and handsome with a soft spot for women of a certain age?
0:35:53 > 0:35:55Olga, please treat this seriously.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58Take some things, move to this hotel for a few days.
0:35:59 > 0:36:03It's on Sienna Street, not far from the Cafe Cleo.
0:36:03 > 0:36:05The reservation's under your real name.
0:36:07 > 0:36:08So no more Countess?
0:36:09 > 0:36:11I shall miss her.
0:36:15 > 0:36:17PIANO PLAYS
0:36:23 > 0:36:26I haven't seen you of late, Dr Lapp. Have you been travelling?
0:36:26 > 0:36:30Berlin, for my company's sales conference.
0:36:30 > 0:36:32While I was there,
0:36:32 > 0:36:35the Duke and Duchess of Windsor visited Herr Hitler.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Smiles, handshakes and waves.
0:36:38 > 0:36:41Are the English falling under his spell too?
0:36:41 > 0:36:43You don't approve of the present regime?
0:36:43 > 0:36:47The culture of old Europe, civility, stability...
0:36:47 > 0:36:49was not such a bad thing for Germany.
0:36:49 > 0:36:52Some of us Germans may not be
0:36:52 > 0:36:56so much the enemy of France as you might think.
0:37:01 > 0:37:02Sorry - you were saying?
0:37:02 > 0:37:06Don't worry. A beautiful woman always catches my eye too.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08You know her?
0:37:08 > 0:37:09We met recently. I...I should say hello.
0:37:09 > 0:37:12Of course. And if it goes well, I will say goodbye.
0:37:12 > 0:37:14Always good to see you, Dr Lapp.
0:37:19 > 0:37:22May I? Or is Max joining you?
0:37:22 > 0:37:25No. Max is finishing an article.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31I came here to get out of the rain.
0:37:31 > 0:37:32I've been to the cinema.
0:37:32 > 0:37:33To see what?
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Laurel and Hardy. Babes In Toyland.
0:37:36 > 0:37:38I needed a laugh.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39What made you sad?
0:37:40 > 0:37:43My mother is unwell.
0:37:43 > 0:37:45She's never been quite right since my father died.
0:37:46 > 0:37:49She misses the grand old days.
0:37:49 > 0:37:51She can't believe she has a daughter who works.
0:37:51 > 0:37:54So you had a privileged childhood?
0:37:54 > 0:37:55Not compared to you.
0:37:57 > 0:38:00Doesn't this ring mean you're nobility?
0:38:00 > 0:38:02Oh, just a lowly chevalier.
0:38:02 > 0:38:05A knight in service to the king - when France had a king.
0:38:05 > 0:38:08Still...the only one I've ever known.
0:38:08 > 0:38:11You've been checking up on me.
0:38:15 > 0:38:17MIAOWING
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Yes, I'm home, my darlings.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31These letters - bills mostly -
0:38:31 > 0:38:34are addressed to Olga Musser.
0:38:39 > 0:38:42So whose idea was it to make you a Countess?
0:38:50 > 0:38:53I can't believe how late it is.
0:38:55 > 0:38:56Will Max be upset?
0:38:58 > 0:39:02He might be upset that you took me to such a fine restaurant
0:39:02 > 0:39:06and that you ordered some very good wine.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Life's too short to drink bad wine.
0:39:11 > 0:39:13Thank you.
0:39:13 > 0:39:16And thank you for making me smile.
0:39:19 > 0:39:21When can I see you again?
0:39:24 > 0:39:27Maybe it's better if we don't.
0:39:29 > 0:39:31I think it might be better if we do.
0:39:39 > 0:39:42Good night, Jean-Francois.
0:40:18 > 0:40:20Did you finish it?
0:40:20 > 0:40:22For what it's worth.
0:40:24 > 0:40:29Chit-chat. I don't have the chance to write anything serious any more.
0:40:29 > 0:40:31And if I did, would I have anything to say?
0:40:34 > 0:40:38You're a brilliant writer, Max. Just bide your time.
0:40:38 > 0:40:41Maybe I should go to England.
0:40:41 > 0:40:43They might give me a soapbox in the park.
0:40:43 > 0:40:48On Saturdays, I can rage against Stalin. On Sundays, Hitler.
0:40:50 > 0:40:54Who brought you home? I saw you from the window.
0:40:55 > 0:40:57Colonel Mercier.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00Should I be jealous of the Colonel?
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Get to bed, you old bear. I'll bring you some hot milk.
0:41:25 > 0:41:26Who found her?
0:41:26 > 0:41:28A neighbour.
0:41:28 > 0:41:30She hadn't seen her for a couple of days,
0:41:30 > 0:41:32and the cat was making a racket.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33How did she die?
0:41:33 > 0:41:34Strangled.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Why did the police bring you into this?
0:41:41 > 0:41:46Another neighbour heard men leaving and thought they were German voices.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48That makes this an internal security matter.
0:41:48 > 0:41:51I know she was one of your contacts, Jean-Francois.
0:41:51 > 0:41:52That's why I called you.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56What a horrible way to die.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Poor bloody Olga.
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Was she tortured?
0:42:10 > 0:42:13I imagine she told them what they wanted to know fairly quickly.
0:42:15 > 0:42:18This is the terrible part of what we do, Antoni.
0:42:18 > 0:42:23Recruit someone, gain their trust, use them, and then one day...
0:42:23 > 0:42:26- It was easier when we were simply soldiers.- Hmm.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30Black and white. Now everything is grey.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32Shadows. Secrets.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38Do you have a file on me?
0:42:38 > 0:42:40A thin one. I'm sure you have more on me.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45I presume Marek reports to you.
0:42:45 > 0:42:48He's a good man to have at your back.
0:42:48 > 0:42:50You're in danger yourself now.
0:43:00 > 0:43:05I think Paris has sent everything for your jaunt into Germany.
0:43:05 > 0:43:10Maps, weather reports. Oh, have you used one of these before?
0:43:10 > 0:43:12No.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15The directions for reloading are somewhere here.
0:43:16 > 0:43:19There's a film in the camera and ten more in the knapsack.
0:43:19 > 0:43:23You'll pick up a car in Basel and drive over the border.
0:43:23 > 0:43:27You're Albert Ducasse, from Lausanne.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29Paris wants you to leave your own passport here.
0:43:29 > 0:43:33Do try not to be caught, because, technically speaking, you're a spy.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35And in that situation could be shot.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58What is the purpose of your visit, Herr Ducasse?
0:43:58 > 0:43:59A wedding in Freiburg.
0:45:02 > 0:45:04ENGINE REVS
0:46:57 > 0:46:59Aufstehen! Aufstehen!
0:47:16 > 0:47:18Ich bin nur Ornithologe.
0:47:24 > 0:47:27Komm her. Bring die Kamera!
0:47:27 > 0:47:29Los.
0:47:29 > 0:47:30Vorwaerts.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32Vorwaerts!
0:47:55 > 0:47:58The post made the motorcycle exactly the same width as a tank.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01I watched them measure it.
0:48:01 > 0:48:04The officer was trying to prove that if that could find a way
0:48:04 > 0:48:06through the trees, then so could a Panzer division.
0:48:18 > 0:48:19You were discovered?
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Regrettably. I took care of him.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24You killed him?
0:48:24 > 0:48:26He was no more than 18 years old.
0:48:26 > 0:48:29I gagged him and tied him up with his rifle strap.
0:48:29 > 0:48:30You're getting soft, Mercier.
0:48:30 > 0:48:34We're not at war, Colonel Lessard. Not yet.
0:48:39 > 0:48:43Your previous report concerned tank traps on the Polish border.
0:48:43 > 0:48:46Which as you may have noticed, is flat.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49Polish steppes are tailor-made for tank invasion.
0:48:49 > 0:48:52So why are they holding manoeuvres in a forest?
0:48:52 > 0:48:55Possibly Poland is not their sole objective.
0:48:55 > 0:48:56You think they'll invade us?
0:48:56 > 0:48:58They could come through the Ardennes from Belgium.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00They'd run into the Maginot Line forts - it would be suicide.
0:49:00 > 0:49:03I believe that's what they were trying to refine in Schramberg.
0:49:03 > 0:49:04What information took you there?
0:49:04 > 0:49:06My contact, Herr Uhl.
0:49:06 > 0:49:10Oh, yes, the man we're now obliged to relocate, at some expense.
0:49:10 > 0:49:13Of course, living in Quebec is somewhat preferable
0:49:13 > 0:49:17to being dead in Warsaw, the fate of your woman agent.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22Your other little foray over the border ended in gunshots.
0:49:22 > 0:49:25Perhaps cloak and dagger isn't your strong suit, Mercier.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Would you prefer a new assignment?
0:49:28 > 0:49:31No, Colonel. My preference is to remain in Poland.
0:49:32 > 0:49:35That is up to General Beauvilliers.
0:49:36 > 0:49:38He wants to have lunch with you.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51Oh, don't worry about Lessard.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53I want you in Warsaw
0:49:53 > 0:49:55to reassure the Poles that we'll come to their aid
0:49:55 > 0:49:57if the worst happens.
0:49:57 > 0:49:59Are you sure the politicians will honour the treaties?
0:49:59 > 0:50:00No...
0:50:00 > 0:50:04but for God's sake, don't tell them that.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07Daladier and that English moron Chamberlain are keen
0:50:07 > 0:50:09to strike a deal with Hitler.
0:50:09 > 0:50:13To them, the Czechs and the Poles are entirely dispensable.
0:50:13 > 0:50:14LAUGHTER
0:50:15 > 0:50:19That's Lady Angela Hope, a pillar of Parisian society.
0:50:19 > 0:50:23General! Everything to your satisfaction?
0:50:23 > 0:50:25The oysters were excellent as usual, Papa.
0:50:25 > 0:50:28So glad we could offer your favourite table.
0:50:28 > 0:50:30The choucroute is on its way.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32With two glasses of your best Pilsner.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36Why is this table so special?
0:50:36 > 0:50:39A Bulgarian head waiter was assassinated here.
0:50:39 > 0:50:41Bullets all over the place.
0:50:41 > 0:50:44All the mirrors were replaced except this one.
0:50:45 > 0:50:47It's a good story.
0:50:47 > 0:50:49Personally, I come here for the gossip.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54So...
0:50:54 > 0:50:56Poland.
0:50:56 > 0:50:58They're doing their best to buy weapons,
0:50:58 > 0:51:00though the Depression crippled their economy.
0:51:00 > 0:51:03And the Germans are building tanks...
0:51:03 > 0:51:06and more tanks and modifying the ones they've got.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08Invasion plans.
0:51:09 > 0:51:12There are many gems in this murky business,
0:51:12 > 0:51:15all sorts of emeralds and rubies.
0:51:15 > 0:51:19But find those plans, and you have the jewel in the crown.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23And they come from only one mine, General - IN6.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26The planning section of the German General Staff.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28Impossible, would you say?
0:51:28 > 0:51:32Perhaps not. The right person, the right moment.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Does the name Dr Lapp mean anything to you?
0:51:35 > 0:51:37No. Who is he?
0:51:37 > 0:51:40He claims to represent a German pharmaceutical company,
0:51:40 > 0:51:42but I doubt he's ever sold a pill.
0:51:43 > 0:51:46He makes remarks.
0:51:46 > 0:51:47Hints.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50As if he wants to make more than small talk.
0:51:50 > 0:51:52I'll check him for you.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58Oh, yes, this looks excellent.
0:51:58 > 0:52:01- I definitely think we should do that.- Open house.
0:52:01 > 0:52:03- Quite soon.- Absolutely.
0:52:03 > 0:52:05Good afternoon.
0:52:05 > 0:52:08Arnaud, who is this delicious man?
0:52:08 > 0:52:11Colonel Mercier, Lady Angela Hope.
0:52:12 > 0:52:14Roddy Fitzware.
0:52:14 > 0:52:15You can't live in Paris, Colonel,
0:52:15 > 0:52:17or I'd have made it my business to meet you.
0:52:17 > 0:52:19I'm flattered, but at present, I live in Warsaw.
0:52:19 > 0:52:21Oh? That sounds cold and dull.
0:52:21 > 0:52:23Well, a party this evening might lift your spirits.
0:52:23 > 0:52:25An exhibition of a new artist.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27He's something of an enfant terrible,
0:52:27 > 0:52:30so the evening is bound to end in drunkenness and violence.
0:52:30 > 0:52:33It's tempting, but I'm on a train tonight.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35I'm spending Christmas with my sister in the country.
0:52:35 > 0:52:38Oh? What a pity. Then I hope we meet again next year.
0:52:38 > 0:52:40A pleasure.
0:52:55 > 0:52:58It doesn't take a genius to guess Herr Hitler's intentions.
0:53:00 > 0:53:02Know his favourite saying?
0:53:02 > 0:53:07"The world wants to be deceived, therefore let it be deceived."
0:53:09 > 0:53:13And he's not wrong. Just read the newspapers.
0:53:15 > 0:53:18Are you listening to a word I'm saying?
0:53:19 > 0:53:21I've heard it all before, Max.
0:53:21 > 0:53:23For God's sake, it's Christmas.
0:53:31 > 0:53:34Ah, good to see you. And you, you look very well.
0:53:47 > 0:53:50How was your holiday, Colonel?
0:53:50 > 0:53:52Very pleasant.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54I was with my sister in the country and also Paris.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56I envy you Paris.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58How are things in the motherland?
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Difficult at present.
0:54:00 > 0:54:01The trials.
0:54:01 > 0:54:04We have been recalled.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07Promotion, perhaps?
0:54:07 > 0:54:09More likely a bullet.
0:54:09 > 0:54:13Stalin is purging all the old Bolsheviks.
0:54:13 > 0:54:14Can you help us?
0:54:14 > 0:54:17We like you, as you know, Colonel.
0:54:17 > 0:54:19But we always felt...
0:54:19 > 0:54:23that your function here was more...
0:54:23 > 0:54:25clandestine than diplomatic.
0:54:25 > 0:54:29And we understand you would expect something in return.
0:54:29 > 0:54:30For getting you out of Poland?
0:54:31 > 0:54:34Are you being watched? Here?
0:54:34 > 0:54:36We can't say.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39They're very good at it when they don't want you to know.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41I have to go to Belgrade for a few days.
0:54:41 > 0:54:44- Let's talk when I return. - Don't wait too long.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50Was this trip Jourdain's idea?
0:54:50 > 0:54:52Of course. He'll do anything to get you out of the office.
0:54:52 > 0:54:55But there is one consolation.
0:54:55 > 0:54:56For Belgrade in January?
0:54:56 > 0:55:00It's a League of Nations conference. So Anna will be there.
0:55:00 > 0:55:02She may even be on your train.
0:55:42 > 0:55:46Would you prefer the first or second seating for dinner, Colonel?
0:55:46 > 0:55:50Which seating is Mademoiselle Skarbek down for?
0:55:52 > 0:55:54The lady's not listed, sir.
0:55:54 > 0:55:55The second, then.
0:56:18 > 0:56:20You prefer something else, sir?
0:56:20 > 0:56:22Just a Remy Martin.
0:56:30 > 0:56:33Anna!
0:56:33 > 0:56:35I looked for you. Where were you?
0:56:35 > 0:56:37I got on at Krakow with some colleagues.
0:56:37 > 0:56:39And I dined alone. What a waste.
0:56:40 > 0:56:42Please...
0:56:48 > 0:56:49Where are you going?
0:56:49 > 0:56:51The same conference as you.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53I doubt it will do any good.
0:56:53 > 0:56:55Does anyone listen to the League any more?
0:56:55 > 0:56:59Especially now Mussolini's pulled Italy out.
0:56:59 > 0:57:00What do you hope to learn?
0:57:02 > 0:57:05To be honest, I intended to bow out till I heard you'd be there.
0:57:06 > 0:57:10What did you have in mind? An adventure on a train?
0:57:10 > 0:57:12No.
0:57:12 > 0:57:14More.
0:57:14 > 0:57:16I'm pursuing you, Anna.
0:57:19 > 0:57:21You know my situation.
0:57:21 > 0:57:22Yes, I do.
0:57:23 > 0:57:25Makes no difference.
0:57:29 > 0:57:31We hardly know each other.
0:58:30 > 0:58:33Where do you think we are?
0:58:33 > 0:58:34The next stop's Budapest.
0:58:35 > 0:58:38I'd rather talk about Warsaw.
0:58:40 > 0:58:43I'm in love with you, Anna.
0:58:44 > 0:58:46I'd forgotten these feelings.
0:58:48 > 0:58:50Are you sure about this?
0:58:50 > 0:58:52With the way things are in the world,
0:58:52 > 0:58:54it's the only thing I AM sure about.
0:58:56 > 0:58:59And I don't believe you're in love with Max.
0:59:02 > 0:59:06You have no idea about my feelings for Max!
0:59:07 > 0:59:08I was adrift.
0:59:10 > 0:59:12He pushed me to take this job.
0:59:14 > 0:59:17He made me feel useful...
0:59:17 > 0:59:19relevant.
0:59:21 > 0:59:23Max is my anchor.
0:59:26 > 0:59:28Then it's me who's adrift.
0:59:30 > 0:59:32You must give me time.
0:59:34 > 0:59:36To end it my way.
0:59:51 > 0:59:53You're under surveillance, my friend.
0:59:53 > 0:59:57Not very high-grade, we spotted them quite easily.
0:59:57 > 0:59:59"Them"?
0:59:59 > 1:00:02A team of four, so they are taking it seriously.
1:00:03 > 1:00:07One's Ukrainian, the other three are Poles, of German extraction.
1:00:07 > 1:00:11Does one of them have a pinched face, like a fierce weasel?
1:00:11 > 1:00:15- You've seen him before? - Yeah. The day Uhl was abducted.
1:00:15 > 1:00:19That's him. They are watching your apartment and tailing you when you go out.
1:00:19 > 1:00:23I suppose you know things are heating up between Anna Skarbek
1:00:23 > 1:00:25and me.
1:00:25 > 1:00:29I had heard. Didn't she stay over twice last week?
1:00:30 > 1:00:32I want her to move in with me.
1:00:34 > 1:00:37A woman who was formerly living in sin with a Russian emigre
1:00:37 > 1:00:39of dubious reputation?
1:00:39 > 1:00:42That should make your superiors piss their pantaloons!
1:00:42 > 1:00:44HE LAUGHS
1:00:50 > 1:00:54Max is fragile. Can't you understand?
1:00:54 > 1:00:58He feels...displaced.
1:00:58 > 1:01:02Dispossessed. When I leave, he'll be completely alone.
1:01:02 > 1:01:04So you still haven't told him?
1:01:04 > 1:01:07Not yet, I have to pick my moment.
1:01:07 > 1:01:11Our lives aren't as simple as they are in your bed.
1:01:11 > 1:01:13Our lives will never be simple.
1:01:13 > 1:01:15SHE GASPS
1:01:17 > 1:01:19KNOCKING ON DOOR
1:01:22 > 1:01:25KNOCKING ON DOOR
1:01:25 > 1:01:27Who is it?
1:01:27 > 1:01:30Malka Rozen. Please, Colonel, let me in!
1:01:36 > 1:01:39Oh, God! He's hurt!
1:01:39 > 1:01:44Viktor. We were on our way here. They know!
1:01:44 > 1:01:46- He fell on the ice and hurt his ankle.- Where?
1:01:46 > 1:01:49- In the small park. - In the square by the church?
1:01:49 > 1:01:51Yes, yes, there is a church!
1:01:51 > 1:01:55Wlada, take Madame Rozen into the kitchen and make some tea.
1:01:59 > 1:02:02- Who is it? What's going on? - There's a problem. I have to go out.
1:02:06 > 1:02:09When I leave, lock the door behind me and don't open it for anyone.
1:03:08 > 1:03:12- It's all right, it's all right, Viktor. - They know, Colonel. They know.
1:03:12 > 1:03:14All right, all right, all right. Come on.
1:03:14 > 1:03:18Don't worry. Don't worry. I'll take care of it.
1:03:22 > 1:03:23Thank you.
1:03:34 > 1:03:36Why tonight, Viktor? What happened?
1:03:38 > 1:03:42A late meeting was called at the Embassy.
1:03:42 > 1:03:44One of our friends...
1:03:44 > 1:03:48a good friend from the old days...
1:03:48 > 1:03:50suddenly wouldn't talk to us.
1:03:50 > 1:03:52It was in his eyes.
1:03:52 > 1:03:55He'd been questioned, we could feel it.
1:03:56 > 1:04:00We knew. We didn't even go home to get our things.
1:04:00 > 1:04:02Right, keep walking. Not far.
1:04:04 > 1:04:05You work half your life for them.
1:04:05 > 1:04:0925 years of service, faith and obedience.
1:04:09 > 1:04:13And still you're afraid of the knock on the door at midnight.
1:04:15 > 1:04:18Why have we stopped?
1:04:46 > 1:04:48Who was he, Viktor?
1:04:48 > 1:04:50I wouldn't know.
1:04:55 > 1:04:57KNOCKING ON DOOR
1:04:57 > 1:04:59Anna, it's me.
1:05:03 > 1:05:06- Viktor! Are you all right? - He's frozen. Wlada, run a hot bath.
1:05:06 > 1:05:09As hot as you can get it. And some dry clothes.
1:05:09 > 1:05:11What can I do? Can I help?
1:05:12 > 1:05:15You must go home now, Anna. And you saw none of this.
1:05:36 > 1:05:38For God's sake, bring them to the Embassy!
1:05:38 > 1:05:41Risk a diplomatic confrontation with the Soviets?
1:05:41 > 1:05:43Paris will want to handle this.
1:05:43 > 1:05:46Paris will get them soon enough. Find a private plane to get them there.
1:05:46 > 1:05:49We have to keep this to ourselves. We can't risk embarrassing the Poles.
1:05:49 > 1:05:53- You shouldn't be running this alone. - They came to me. They trust me.
1:05:53 > 1:05:55So did your Countess.
1:05:57 > 1:05:59- How many are with you?- Two.
1:05:59 > 1:06:03Put one in the back alley, one on the stairs and you out front. Do you have a weapon?
1:06:04 > 1:06:06Good. Don't hesitate.
1:06:08 > 1:06:11Who are we expecting? Our German friends?
1:06:11 > 1:06:13No, these are Russians. NKVD.
1:06:13 > 1:06:16Oh. It will be a pleasure.
1:06:57 > 1:06:59We had little to do with France.
1:06:59 > 1:07:02Our operations were centred on the Poles.
1:07:02 > 1:07:06Especially penetration of the socialist parties.
1:07:06 > 1:07:09Moscow Central is obsessed with this.
1:07:09 > 1:07:11We did what everyone does.
1:07:11 > 1:07:15War plans, arms production, political personalities,
1:07:15 > 1:07:17border defences.
1:07:17 > 1:07:21I doubt it's much different from what you do, Colonel.
1:07:21 > 1:07:23Any German networks?
1:07:23 > 1:07:28We didn't handle them. That was the preserve of the elite.
1:07:28 > 1:07:30Not you?
1:07:30 > 1:07:33The Jews in the service aren't so favoured these days.
1:07:33 > 1:07:37No German information? You're sure?
1:07:37 > 1:07:39Only gossip.
1:07:39 > 1:07:40Such as?
1:07:40 > 1:07:45A camp, in Pomerania where they train spies to work in Poland.
1:07:45 > 1:07:47- Surely you know already. - Of course I know!
1:07:47 > 1:07:50If I'm to convince Paris to save your skins, I need more than this.
1:07:56 > 1:07:59What do you know about IN6?
1:07:59 > 1:08:04IN6? Was that Kovak's operation?
1:08:04 > 1:08:08No, it wasn't Kovak...it was Morozov.
1:08:08 > 1:08:11She's right, it WAS Morozov.
1:08:11 > 1:08:13What was it?
1:08:13 > 1:08:17He had a contact who worked in the IN6 office.
1:08:17 > 1:08:21- Someone who had concealed his political affiliation to the Black Front.- They were...
1:08:21 > 1:08:24I know. Hitler's opponents in the Nazi Party. The left wing.
1:08:24 > 1:08:28- Go on.- This man was pressured to become a Soviet agent.
1:08:28 > 1:08:31It worked for a while, then...
1:08:31 > 1:08:35Morozov was purged, so the operation stalled.
1:08:37 > 1:08:40And this man still works in the heart of German intelligence?
1:08:40 > 1:08:42Yes. And he is no friend of Hitler.
1:08:44 > 1:08:47A name?
1:08:49 > 1:08:51I need a name.
1:08:51 > 1:08:53It was a code name.
1:08:55 > 1:08:58A...a bird. I think it was a bird.
1:08:58 > 1:09:00Kanarejka? Something like that?
1:09:00 > 1:09:04- No, it wasn't.- Well, what then?
1:09:04 > 1:09:06It was a seabird, dear.
1:09:08 > 1:09:10In harbours everywhere.
1:09:10 > 1:09:13"Chaika," that was it!
1:09:14 > 1:09:16Seagull.
1:09:16 > 1:09:18Isn't she something?
1:09:25 > 1:09:28So you intend to fly to Paris with the Rozens?
1:09:28 > 1:09:30- I do, yes.- Is that really necessary?
1:09:30 > 1:09:32We have to follow up on this information.
1:09:32 > 1:09:35This is opposition to Hitler inside his own party.
1:09:35 > 1:09:37If we can tap into that, it could be invaluable.
1:09:37 > 1:09:43Hmm. When Madame Rozen came to your apartment, you weren't alone?
1:09:43 > 1:09:47No. My maid was there. And also a young lady.
1:09:47 > 1:09:50- Anna Skarbek. - Yes. We'd been to dinner.
1:09:50 > 1:09:54This was after one in the morning, so presumably you'd had more than dinner.
1:09:54 > 1:09:57- Is that any of your business? - The Ambassador thinks it is.
1:09:57 > 1:09:59Because you're now seriously compromised.
1:09:59 > 1:10:02- The woman is Maxim Mostov's mistress. - That relationship is at an end.
1:10:02 > 1:10:06It's possible she's more than a hapless mistress but a willing accomplice.
1:10:06 > 1:10:08That's ridiculous!
1:10:08 > 1:10:11The Ambassador feels very strongly in the circumstances
1:10:11 > 1:10:13it would be best to terminate this liaison.
1:10:14 > 1:10:17I'm not prepared to do that.
1:10:17 > 1:10:21Perhaps you should think very carefully about that.
1:10:24 > 1:10:28The Rozens were defecting, presumably?
1:10:28 > 1:10:30You know I can't comment on that.
1:10:30 > 1:10:32Max feels certain that's it.
1:10:32 > 1:10:34You discussed it with him?
1:10:34 > 1:10:37He's heard about it. Who hasn't?
1:10:42 > 1:10:46Anna, this is a very tricky situation.
1:10:47 > 1:10:51The Embassy doesn't want me to see you any more.
1:10:51 > 1:10:56Why? Cos they think I'm a spy? Or a slut?
1:10:56 > 1:10:58If they insist, I'll resign.
1:11:02 > 1:11:04I have to go away for a few days.
1:11:04 > 1:11:08By the time I get back, I want it all over between you and Max.
1:11:08 > 1:11:10I don't like ultimatums.
1:11:10 > 1:11:12I need you to be free.
1:13:56 > 1:13:58Keep your heads down.
1:14:11 > 1:14:13Go on!
1:14:22 > 1:14:25HE SHOUTS
1:14:25 > 1:14:27He seems upset.
1:14:27 > 1:14:28Wouldn't you be?
1:14:28 > 1:14:31Hey! What?!
1:15:00 > 1:15:02BIKE BELL RINGS
1:15:08 > 1:15:10I don't mind if you screw him a few times
1:15:10 > 1:15:12and get it out of your system.
1:15:12 > 1:15:14It's not like that.
1:15:14 > 1:15:18I can see the attraction. The war hero.
1:15:18 > 1:15:21Killed lots of my countrymen 20 years ago.
1:15:22 > 1:15:25And he looks good in a uniform, even if
1:15:25 > 1:15:28he walks like he has a poker up his arse.
1:15:28 > 1:15:30Max, don't do this.
1:15:32 > 1:15:36Well, I suppose I knew this would happen one day.
1:15:36 > 1:15:38You are young, you are alive.
1:15:38 > 1:15:43I'm just a sad, miserable old bastard.
1:15:43 > 1:15:47I see it in people's faces when we go to parties.
1:15:47 > 1:15:49"What DOES she see in him?"
1:15:49 > 1:15:53Max, you're a wonderful man and I chose to be with you.
1:15:53 > 1:15:55And now you choose to go.
1:15:57 > 1:16:01I'm going out. Just be gone when I get back.
1:16:02 > 1:16:05And don't hide the goddamn vodka!
1:16:14 > 1:16:16Do you think there's any value
1:16:16 > 1:16:21in what the Rozens told you...or is it just some fiction to save their skins?
1:16:21 > 1:16:24I believe them. I want to follow up on it.
1:16:24 > 1:16:27That'll have to wait until we've had a go at them ourselves.
1:16:27 > 1:16:30I'm anxious to get back to Warsaw as soon as possible.
1:16:32 > 1:16:35The city seems to have attractions for you.
1:16:35 > 1:16:37Certainly not your attitude when we posted you there.
1:16:37 > 1:16:40I believe it's the right place for me...and the right time.
1:16:40 > 1:16:42And I agree.
1:16:42 > 1:16:47And you handled this whole episode most commendably, Colonel.
1:16:50 > 1:16:53I'll leave you to your coffee.
1:17:01 > 1:17:04Why doesn't he like you?
1:17:04 > 1:17:08He hates de Gaulle and knows I served with him.
1:17:08 > 1:17:10He missed the war, that's his problem.
1:17:10 > 1:17:13Can't bear the thought of all your medals.
1:17:16 > 1:17:19Last time you were here, you mentioned a Dr Lapp.
1:17:19 > 1:17:22Your instincts were right.
1:17:22 > 1:17:26The good doctor is in the German military intelligence.
1:17:26 > 1:17:30He and Admiral Canaris and his Abwehr loathe the SD
1:17:30 > 1:17:33and Hitler, the whole nasty business.
1:17:33 > 1:17:36It's as much social as political.
1:17:36 > 1:17:40They see themselves as gentlemen, the Nazis as gangsters.
1:17:40 > 1:17:42Then he could be useful.
1:17:44 > 1:17:46BANGING ON DOOR
1:17:46 > 1:17:48MORE BANGING
1:17:48 > 1:17:50All right.
1:17:50 > 1:17:53- BANGING ON DOOR - All right!
1:17:53 > 1:17:57- BANGING ON DOOR - I'm coming!
1:18:00 > 1:18:03- Who's that?- Klaus and Frida.
1:18:03 > 1:18:07Fled from Frankfurt with only the clothes on their backs.
1:18:07 > 1:18:11Do they pose a threat to the government? They're CELLISTS, for God's sake.
1:18:11 > 1:18:15By German law now, persons of more than 25% non-Aryan blood are forbidden to play
1:18:15 > 1:18:19Beethoven, Mozart and Bach.
1:18:19 > 1:18:21Leaves them Gershwin, I suppose.
1:18:21 > 1:18:22SHE LAUGHS
1:18:22 > 1:18:26What on earth was the Duke of Windsor doing visiting Hitler?
1:18:26 > 1:18:30Probably Mrs Simpson's idea, he always does what she says.
1:18:30 > 1:18:32What sort of hold does she have over him?
1:18:32 > 1:18:35I imagine she spanks him and reminds him of his nanny(!)
1:18:35 > 1:18:37SHE LAUGHS That's a very English thing.
1:18:37 > 1:18:41- Your call to Warsaw at last, Colonel.- Do excuse me.
1:18:41 > 1:18:44Don't be TOO long.
1:18:53 > 1:18:55- Hello? - SHE SOBS
1:18:55 > 1:18:59Anna, where were you? I've been trying to reach you all day.
1:18:59 > 1:19:02- SHE SOBS - What's the matter?- They took Max!
1:19:02 > 1:19:05They just took him in the night like a common criminal!
1:19:05 > 1:19:07Wait, what are you saying? Who took Max?
1:19:07 > 1:19:11You know who took him, for God's sake! I went to visit your friend Pakulski.
1:19:11 > 1:19:14He said the Poles had no problem with his visa,
1:19:14 > 1:19:16it was the French that wanted him out.
1:19:16 > 1:19:19You couldn't wait for me to deal with it like I asked!
1:19:19 > 1:19:23- Anna, you're not making sense. - They won't even let me see him!
1:19:23 > 1:19:27They're sending him back to Moscow. It's...it's a death sentence!
1:19:27 > 1:19:31Anna? Anna, hello?
1:19:53 > 1:19:57Colonel Mercier sends his regrets, but he was obliged to leave.
1:19:57 > 1:20:02- Oh.- Affairs of state, General?
1:20:02 > 1:20:05- Or the heart, perhaps. - Why would you say that?
1:20:05 > 1:20:09Well, I've met him twice now and on both occasions he's shown
1:20:09 > 1:20:12not the slightest inclination to take me to bed.
1:20:12 > 1:20:15THEY LAUGH
1:20:50 > 1:20:55You must realise, the Ambassador had no choice! You were compromised, it was imperative.
1:20:55 > 1:20:59It was vindictive, unnecessary and cowardly of you to wait until after I left.
1:20:59 > 1:21:03We have other priorities now. What did you learn from the Rozen debriefing?
1:21:03 > 1:21:05I have leads I've been authorised to act upon.
1:21:05 > 1:21:07What are they?
1:21:08 > 1:21:12- Like I said,- I- have been authorised. Paris feels the fewer people in the know, the better.
1:21:23 > 1:21:26If she wants to disappear for a while, so be it.
1:21:26 > 1:21:30I need to talk to her.
1:21:30 > 1:21:32I need a chance to explain.
1:21:32 > 1:21:35She's filled with guilt and anger.
1:21:35 > 1:21:39Because what happened to Max would not have happened if she had not fallen in love.
1:21:39 > 1:21:41Her heart is closed to you.
1:21:43 > 1:21:46My advice? Bide your time.
1:21:47 > 1:21:49How much time do any of us have?
1:21:49 > 1:21:54Hitler will march into Austria any minute. And he won't stop there.
1:21:54 > 1:21:58So we must fight any way we can.
1:22:46 > 1:22:49KNOCKING ON DOOR
1:22:53 > 1:22:56Askenazy. One of Poland's great historians.
1:22:57 > 1:22:59Please.
1:23:00 > 1:23:04- Can we talk privately here? - Yes. That's why I suggested it.
1:23:04 > 1:23:09It belongs to a friend, and no-one comes here at this time of day.
1:23:12 > 1:23:15On the occasions when we talked, you gave me
1:23:15 > 1:23:18reason to believe you're no friend to your country's leaders.
1:23:19 > 1:23:22I also know you're a member of the Abwehr.
1:23:22 > 1:23:26As I know that you are connected to the Deuxieme Bureau
1:23:26 > 1:23:28and General Beauvilliers.
1:23:28 > 1:23:32Surprising how few secrets there are in our secret world.
1:23:34 > 1:23:36Were you ever a member of the Black Front?
1:23:36 > 1:23:40No. I never joined Nazi organisations, of whatever shade.
1:23:40 > 1:23:43But they were amongst Hitler's most determined enemies.
1:23:43 > 1:23:47Yes, that's why the ones that aren't dead are either in hiding or exile.
1:23:47 > 1:23:52I have been told a former member still works at the heart of IN6.
1:23:54 > 1:23:55KNOCKING ON DOOR
1:23:57 > 1:24:00Just leave them on the table, young man.
1:24:07 > 1:24:09DOOR SHUTS
1:24:09 > 1:24:11There is a man who might help you.
1:24:11 > 1:24:14He was once a professor of ancient languages.
1:24:14 > 1:24:17Now he's in hiding in Czechoslovakia because he's hunted by the Gestapo.
1:24:17 > 1:24:20You should move quickly.
1:24:20 > 1:24:23He still writes anti-Nazi pamphlets that are smuggled into Germany,
1:24:23 > 1:24:26which infuriates them.
1:24:26 > 1:24:30So I fear he may not be long for this world.
1:24:31 > 1:24:33I'm crossing a line here, Colonel.
1:24:35 > 1:24:38If I give you his name, you must make me a promise.
1:24:38 > 1:24:43You may offer him money but you may not threaten him, because we still talk to him.
1:24:44 > 1:24:49So do not bruise him. Agreed?
1:24:49 > 1:24:51Agreed.
1:24:51 > 1:24:56The courier goes back on the morning express, so look through this now. And you have to sign for it.
1:25:02 > 1:25:04Count it, by all means.
1:25:04 > 1:25:06And there's a message from General Beauvilliers.
1:25:06 > 1:25:09"Please do try very hard not to get caught.
1:25:09 > 1:25:11"And best to avoid a visit to the casino."
1:25:21 > 1:25:24I'll be away for at least a week, Wlada.
1:25:24 > 1:25:27Take some time off, see your family.
1:25:39 > 1:25:42I want to make a stop on the way to the station.
1:26:11 > 1:26:14Book him.
1:27:04 > 1:27:06Rest in peace, Countess.
1:27:12 > 1:27:14SHOTS RING OUT
1:27:29 > 1:27:33Marek? What happened?
1:27:33 > 1:27:36He was following you. So I followed him.
1:27:37 > 1:27:39Then he saw me and aimed his pistol. So I shot him.
1:27:42 > 1:27:44We should go, boss.
1:27:45 > 1:27:47What the hell do we do with the body?!
1:27:47 > 1:27:50Good place to die. If only we had a shovel.
1:27:52 > 1:27:56OK. You take the car... and I'll take care of this.
1:28:05 > 1:28:07Sie kommen mit uns.
1:28:10 > 1:28:12Sehr schoen.
