0:00:06 > 0:00:13This programme contains some scenes which some viewers may find upsetting
0:00:15 > 0:00:18Should I be jealous of the Colonel?
0:00:18 > 0:00:20I'm in love with you, Anna.
0:00:20 > 0:00:21I'd forgotten these feelings.
0:00:23 > 0:00:24They took Max!
0:00:24 > 0:00:27They just took him in the night like a common criminal.
0:00:27 > 0:00:30I need to talk to her. I need a chance to explain.
0:00:30 > 0:00:32My friend, she's filled with guilt and anger,
0:00:32 > 0:00:35because what happened to Max would not have happened
0:00:35 > 0:00:37if she had not fallen in love.
0:00:37 > 0:00:41If I'm going to convince Paris to save your skins, I need a name.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Chaika! That was it!
0:00:43 > 0:00:46There is a man who might help you.
0:00:46 > 0:00:48He was once a professor of ancient languages.
0:00:48 > 0:00:52Now he is hiding in Czechoslovakia because he's hunted by the Gestapo.
0:00:52 > 0:00:53You should go there quickly.
0:00:53 > 0:00:57I fear he may not be long for this world.
0:01:25 > 0:01:28ENGINE ROARS
0:01:36 > 0:01:39HE CRIES IN PAIN
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Colonel! A phone call.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57Won't it keep till after my morning coffee?
0:01:57 > 0:01:59There's been a shooting.
0:02:09 > 0:02:13SCREAMING
0:02:17 > 0:02:21WAILING
0:03:02 > 0:03:04You are Colonel Jean-Francois Mercier, Military Attache
0:03:04 > 0:03:07at the French Embassy in Warsaw.
0:03:07 > 0:03:10But that's not all you do, is it, Colonel?
0:03:10 > 0:03:12What is it you do?
0:03:12 > 0:03:15I go after people like you,
0:03:15 > 0:03:17who undermine the security of my country.
0:03:17 > 0:03:20You helped a Russian couple to defect. Why?
0:03:20 > 0:03:22They were afraid for their lives.
0:03:22 > 0:03:25Presumably offered information in exchange for your help?
0:03:25 > 0:03:28That's the way things are in our business, hm?
0:03:28 > 0:03:31I'd like to know what that information was.
0:03:31 > 0:03:35I'm not going to tell you so this is a waste of time.
0:03:35 > 0:03:36Hm.
0:03:36 > 0:03:39Colonel,
0:03:39 > 0:03:41our countries are not at war.
0:03:41 > 0:03:43Not yet, no.
0:03:45 > 0:03:47Let's hope never.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53We're both men who work in the shadows.
0:03:56 > 0:04:00You're involved with a young woman here, I believe?
0:04:00 > 0:04:02Anna Skarbek?
0:04:04 > 0:04:06How is that relevant?
0:04:06 > 0:04:10My point is that we have lives to go back to.
0:04:13 > 0:04:16Myself, I am married with a new child on the way.
0:04:16 > 0:04:18How will you ever see your family again?
0:04:18 > 0:04:20You'll never get out of Poland.
0:04:20 > 0:04:23You have one man dead, another bleeding like a pig...
0:04:25 > 0:04:28And your car is leaking gasoline.
0:04:43 > 0:04:45Could you leave us, nurse?
0:04:47 > 0:04:51Did you see that smile? She wants me.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53How are you feeling?
0:04:53 > 0:04:56Too early to tell. What happened?
0:04:56 > 0:04:58We arrived when the car blew up.
0:04:58 > 0:05:00And the Germans?
0:05:00 > 0:05:02One in the morgue, two in our cells.
0:05:02 > 0:05:06Their embassy wants them back. We've told them not a chance.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Your embassy will be paying you a visit.
0:05:08 > 0:05:09Mm.
0:05:09 > 0:05:12I want to be out of here before that.
0:05:12 > 0:05:15I don't want to give them an excuse to stop me.
0:05:15 > 0:05:16Doing what?
0:05:16 > 0:05:19You know I can't tell you.
0:05:19 > 0:05:21But I need to take a trip.
0:05:22 > 0:05:24Help me out of here.
0:05:24 > 0:05:26Looking like that?
0:05:29 > 0:05:31Lend me your coat.
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Here. In here.
0:05:53 > 0:05:55I'm sorry, sir, he seems to have gone.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Waiting for someone?
0:06:49 > 0:06:51Looks like she stood me up.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Herr Halbach.
0:07:51 > 0:07:53Herr Halbach!
0:08:01 > 0:08:03Can we talk in private?
0:08:03 > 0:08:05You're not German.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07No. Can we go inside?
0:08:21 > 0:08:23Keep your hands where I can see them!
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Please don't wave that around.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27You don't look like the kind of man who's used to firearms.
0:08:27 > 0:08:30I'm not, I'm a teacher. It doesn't mean I won't use it.
0:08:30 > 0:08:32What do you want with me?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34It's your politics that bring me here.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36You won't take me alive. I'll kill you if you try.
0:08:36 > 0:08:38- I'm not your enemy. - Then who the hell are you?
0:08:38 > 0:08:39I'm a friend.
0:08:39 > 0:08:42And I should point out it wasn't all that difficult to find you.
0:08:42 > 0:08:44On your knees. Now!
0:08:44 > 0:08:46KNOCKING
0:09:06 > 0:09:08I'm here to offer you sanctuary, Herr Halbach.
0:09:08 > 0:09:12How long can you stay here? Months? Years?
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Perhaps.
0:09:15 > 0:09:18Hitler has already marched into Austria. He'll be here next.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22Then where will you go?
0:09:37 > 0:09:41What exactly is this sanctuary?
0:09:42 > 0:09:46A Swiss passport and 50,000 Swiss Francs.
0:09:46 > 0:09:48That is a great deal of money.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51Understand, we are not asking you to do anything against the German
0:09:51 > 0:09:55people or your homeland. Only against the Hitler regime.
0:09:57 > 0:10:01And what would I have to do for all this? Kill somebody?
0:10:02 > 0:10:05Visit an old friend, with a request
0:10:05 > 0:10:08and the same offer we're making to you.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Then both of you can lead new lives.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12Wealthy, safe lives.
0:10:16 > 0:10:18Consider this an advance.
0:10:20 > 0:10:24How do you know I won't take this and disappear?
0:10:24 > 0:10:28Because then you will have stolen it... From us.
0:10:28 > 0:10:30And who is this "old friend"?
0:10:30 > 0:10:34A comrade of yours from the Black Front who works in IN6.
0:10:34 > 0:10:36His Russian alias is Chaika.
0:10:38 > 0:10:40Now I see what you're after.
0:10:42 > 0:10:45But he is in Germany.
0:10:45 > 0:10:49I can't go there. I'm a wanted criminal in Germany.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51You'll have a Swiss passport, as have I.
0:10:51 > 0:10:54We're salesmen for the same company. We'll stay in a small hotel
0:10:54 > 0:10:57and you'll be visible for only one evening.
0:10:57 > 0:10:59When would this be?
0:10:59 > 0:11:02We leave tomorrow.
0:11:02 > 0:11:03Tomorrow? But I have classes.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06The Herr Professor is indisposed.
0:11:06 > 0:11:08Be at the station before ten.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11I have a friend here in Tsesin
0:11:11 > 0:11:15who has made a great difference to me.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17I should like to say goodbye.
0:11:17 > 0:11:20I'm sorry, that won't be possible. Send her a postcard.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44Your embassy has washed their hands of you.
0:11:44 > 0:11:48They say you were acting on your own initiative, without any authority.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53So you are not going back to Germany. You will stay here.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57This is a prison for people who never go home.
0:12:26 > 0:12:30This is yours, Herr Braun. And I am Herr Lombardo.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33We must get you some more suitable clothes.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40Your family can travel on your new passport.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43No, no, no, that's all finished,
0:12:43 > 0:12:45that part of my life.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48When I went underground, I sent them away, for their safety.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52I no longer know where they are and nor do they know where I am.
0:12:53 > 0:12:56Does your friend Chaika have a family?
0:12:56 > 0:12:57Yes.
0:12:57 > 0:12:58And his real name?
0:13:01 > 0:13:03Johannes Elter.
0:13:03 > 0:13:05- Were you close?- Oh, yes.
0:13:05 > 0:13:08We both loved the party at the start - the rising up
0:13:08 > 0:13:13of a defeated nation, the return of pride, the end of poverty.
0:13:14 > 0:13:18And then we saw what was happening.
0:13:21 > 0:13:23And I have a Jewish grandmother.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30What does he do in the General Staff?
0:13:30 > 0:13:33He's a clerk. But he's in the thick of things.
0:13:33 > 0:13:36Does he gamble?
0:13:36 > 0:13:38No. He pinches every pfennig.
0:13:38 > 0:13:39Visit whores?
0:13:39 > 0:13:40And spend his own money?
0:13:40 > 0:13:43So he should be interested in my offer.
0:13:43 > 0:13:47Well, Herr Lombardo...
0:13:47 > 0:13:51That depends on how afraid he is.
0:14:10 > 0:14:12How did you know I was in Warsaw?
0:14:12 > 0:14:16It's my business to know. Will you be here long?
0:14:16 > 0:14:18No. I came to close the apartment.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23There are books everywhere. Help yourself.
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Pity Mercier is not in town. He would want to see you.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28I have no wish to see him, Antoni.
0:14:28 > 0:14:32Anna, I know everything that goes on in Internal Security.
0:14:32 > 0:14:35The request to expel Max did not come from Mercier.
0:14:35 > 0:14:36It came from the French.
0:14:36 > 0:14:37Not from Mercier.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39Then from whom?
0:14:39 > 0:14:41I'm not exactly sure.
0:14:42 > 0:14:45I thought you knew everything. Apparently you don't.
0:14:45 > 0:14:48I know he loves you.
0:14:48 > 0:14:49If he didn't,
0:14:49 > 0:14:52I would try to seduce you.
0:14:58 > 0:15:00Where do you go from here?
0:15:00 > 0:15:02The League is sending me to Spain.
0:15:02 > 0:15:05Spain? The country's in the middle of civil war.
0:15:05 > 0:15:09I'll be negotiating the release of foreign nationals. I leave tomorrow.
0:15:11 > 0:15:12Where is Jean-Francois?
0:15:12 > 0:15:15On his way to Paris, I believe.
0:15:17 > 0:15:18Paris?
0:15:44 > 0:15:45Paesse, bitte.
0:15:54 > 0:15:57You're both Swiss? You're travelling together?
0:15:57 > 0:15:59We work for the same company.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Couldn't your people afford a decent hotel?
0:16:31 > 0:16:32Too conspicuous.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15Danke.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20KNOCKING
0:17:32 > 0:17:35So, you're meeting with Elter.
0:17:35 > 0:17:37If he's reluctant, remind him -
0:17:37 > 0:17:40it's Hitler and his clique that want to take the country into war.
0:17:40 > 0:17:42And if it comes, it's the German people who will suffer.
0:17:42 > 0:17:45Ah, the moral argument.
0:17:45 > 0:17:47BOTTLE SMASHES
0:17:47 > 0:17:49That will bring the police!
0:17:49 > 0:17:53They're SS. The police won't bother them.
0:18:32 > 0:18:36(WHISPERING) Why did you tell them about me?
0:18:36 > 0:18:38I have always been a faithful friend to you.
0:18:38 > 0:18:40That's why I'm here.
0:18:41 > 0:18:44How long can you stay out of a Gestapo cellar?
0:18:44 > 0:18:46And you'll only be harming Hitler.
0:19:31 > 0:19:34KNOCKING
0:19:41 > 0:19:43I think we have to leave.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46There was a man in the lobby, an SS Oberscharfuehrer.
0:19:46 > 0:19:48I think he recognised me.
0:19:48 > 0:19:50From where?
0:19:50 > 0:19:53I've spent many hours being questioned by the Gestapo.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55He could have been there.
0:19:57 > 0:20:00Pack your things.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01- You can't do this!- Get in.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07This is madness!
0:21:11 > 0:21:13You can't steal this car.
0:21:13 > 0:21:16They'll be in there for hours.
0:21:16 > 0:21:20So, Elter. What happened?
0:21:20 > 0:21:21He's unsure.
0:21:43 > 0:21:45The first ferry's at eight.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47You can get a train to Copenhagen at the other side.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50Once you're there, you can do whatever you like.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53I'd almost forgotten that kind of life.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56The funds are in Zurich. We're true to our word.
0:21:56 > 0:21:58Will all this make any difference?
0:21:58 > 0:22:00I have to believe it will.
0:22:44 > 0:22:47Halbach told me you always arrived first.
0:22:48 > 0:22:53So we have a few moments before the others get here.
0:22:53 > 0:22:56I can't do it!
0:22:56 > 0:22:58What you're asking, it is too dangerous.
0:22:58 > 0:23:01If there was more money, would you find it less dangerous?
0:23:01 > 0:23:04- You must understand... - I understand greed. - You must understand...
0:23:04 > 0:23:06It makes things very simple between us.
0:23:06 > 0:23:08You are asking me to betray my country.
0:23:08 > 0:23:12You've betrayed it before, to the Soviets.
0:23:12 > 0:23:16Chaika. Wasn't that your code name?
0:23:18 > 0:23:21The Gestapo would be interested to know that.
0:23:23 > 0:23:25We'll meet as arranged.
0:24:05 > 0:24:08This is not about greed.
0:24:09 > 0:24:13One day, I will have to leave. Your money is for that.
0:24:13 > 0:24:17For my family's safety, God willing.
0:24:17 > 0:24:20You have children, I believe.
0:24:20 > 0:24:21Three.
0:24:21 > 0:24:26I cannot tell them of my feelings for Hitler,
0:24:26 > 0:24:29for what is happening here
0:24:29 > 0:24:32because their teachers, they believe it all.
0:24:35 > 0:24:40My eldest, he wears the same uniform as the ones over there.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50So, how will this work?
0:24:53 > 0:24:56Same place, same time,
0:24:56 > 0:24:59every other week, someone will pick up the drop.
0:25:08 > 0:25:10In my heart,
0:25:10 > 0:25:12I have always been a traitor.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Much of what he gave me was pointless.
0:25:44 > 0:25:48But everything you see here is not.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50It's a forest survey map of the Ardennes,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53a report on the range of German tanks,
0:25:53 > 0:25:56another on ground clearances.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00What interests me is what's not here.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01Nothing on the Maginot Line.
0:26:01 > 0:26:04Nothing on our defence system on the Eastern Frontier.
0:26:04 > 0:26:07No forts, no bunkers, no pillboxes.
0:26:07 > 0:26:10Exactly. It confirms what we feared most.
0:26:11 > 0:26:14They're coming with tanks through the Belgian forests.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17Well, this should persuade the unbelievers.
0:26:17 > 0:26:19Now we'll be ready for them.
0:26:19 > 0:26:22You've done well, Jean-Francois.
0:26:22 > 0:26:26I've recommended that you take up a position here in General Staff.
0:26:26 > 0:26:28There's nothing to keep me in Warsaw anymore.
0:26:31 > 0:26:32Thank you, sir.
0:26:50 > 0:26:53- Hello.- Finally!
0:26:53 > 0:26:55A visit from my big brother!
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Welcome.
0:27:00 > 0:27:03MUSIC PLAYS ON THE RADIO
0:27:03 > 0:27:06How long have you worked here?
0:27:06 > 0:27:07A while now.
0:27:10 > 0:27:13Etienne also deals in art for private clients.
0:27:13 > 0:27:16I could find you something vibrant and cheerful for the estate.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19Anything's better than those gloomy ancestors on horseback.
0:27:19 > 0:27:22I'm so out of touch with you. I don't even know where you live.
0:27:22 > 0:27:24Oh, we only live three streets away.
0:27:24 > 0:27:25We?
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Armand and I.
0:27:27 > 0:27:30Something else I didn't know about you. What does Armand do?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34He plays piano in a nightclub, so you probably won't approve.
0:27:34 > 0:27:36- Weren't you with, erm...?- Daniel.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39Yes, I rather liked Daniel. What happened to him?
0:27:39 > 0:27:40A Bluebell girl happened.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Which is absurd, she's four inches taller than he is.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47So you found solace in Armand?
0:27:50 > 0:27:52It's more serious than that.
0:27:53 > 0:27:56There was a lady in your life the last time you wrote to me.
0:27:56 > 0:27:58I told you to pursue her.
0:27:58 > 0:28:00I did.
0:28:00 > 0:28:01And?
0:28:03 > 0:28:04I think I may have lost her.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30'How did you know I was here?'
0:28:30 > 0:28:33I called the League. They finally gave me a number.
0:28:34 > 0:28:36- Where are you?- 'In Paris.'
0:28:38 > 0:28:40I want you to live with me here.
0:28:41 > 0:28:43'I can't do that.
0:28:43 > 0:28:46'I know what happened to Max was not your fault.
0:28:46 > 0:28:49'I thought so at the time because I was angry.'
0:28:49 > 0:28:53Then I realised it was easier to blame you than myself.
0:28:53 > 0:28:54Blame yourself for what?
0:28:54 > 0:28:59I compromised you, so your Embassy had him expelled.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03'None of that would have happened if we hadn't had an affair.'
0:29:03 > 0:29:04We fell in love!
0:29:04 > 0:29:07And Max is dead because we did.
0:29:07 > 0:29:10I can't forget that.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13'And every moment we spend together would remind me of it.'
0:29:14 > 0:29:16I have to see you.
0:29:18 > 0:29:19I need you, Anna.
0:29:19 > 0:29:22You'll survive without me, Jean-Francois.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27If any of us survive at all.
0:29:28 > 0:29:30PHONE HANGS UP
0:30:07 > 0:30:08Caviar!
0:30:08 > 0:30:11Look, Viktor, such luxury!
0:30:11 > 0:30:13How kind. Thank you so much.
0:30:13 > 0:30:15Are you comfortable where you live?
0:30:17 > 0:30:22They call it a safe house, but to be frank, it does not feel safe.
0:30:22 > 0:30:24You have no protection?
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Not since they finished the debriefing.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Now that they have everything they need to know,
0:30:29 > 0:30:31we are dispensable.
0:30:32 > 0:30:34What did you tell them about Max Mostov?
0:30:34 > 0:30:38Nothing that we hadn't already told Moscow in our reports,
0:30:38 > 0:30:40about his behaviour and opinions.
0:30:40 > 0:30:42You heard he's been deported?
0:30:42 > 0:30:44Yes. Why would they do that?
0:30:47 > 0:30:48He wasn't dangerous.
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Will you remind them, Colonel
0:30:53 > 0:30:56that we should never stay in one place for too long?
0:30:56 > 0:30:57Yes, I will.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00We are not the Colonel's concern now, Viktor.
0:31:00 > 0:31:02Yes, you are. I guaranteed your safety.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07'On behalf of us all, Mercier,'
0:31:07 > 0:31:11- congratulations are certainly in order. Bravo!- Thank you, gentlemen.
0:31:11 > 0:31:14And I am delighted to announce that you are to be promoted
0:31:14 > 0:31:16to the rank of full Colonel.
0:31:18 > 0:31:20I'm honoured.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22No more than you deserve.
0:31:22 > 0:31:24We've been through the documents with a fine-tooth comb.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28- They certainly seem to point in one direction.- I'm glad you agree, sir.
0:31:28 > 0:31:34Of course, we do have to consider the possibility that we're being misled.
0:31:35 > 0:31:37Misled?
0:31:37 > 0:31:39Almost too good to be true, isn't he?
0:31:39 > 0:31:41This agent - what's his name?
0:31:41 > 0:31:43Johannes Elter.
0:31:43 > 0:31:45Elter, yes.
0:31:46 > 0:31:51Yes, it strikes some of us as dubious that you persuaded him so easily.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54I threatened him with exposure if he failed to cooperate.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58Even so, disinformation is the oldest game in the world, surely?
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Steering your enemy away from your true intention.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04I don't understand. You're disputing the information I've given you
0:32:04 > 0:32:07and at the same time you're promoting me. That makes no sense.
0:32:07 > 0:32:10My dear Mercier, this work that you've done
0:32:10 > 0:32:14has given us an invaluable insight into the mentality of IN6.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16This is not about mentality, this is about facts!
0:32:20 > 0:32:24The Germans are planning to invade France through Belgium.
0:32:24 > 0:32:27That was my conclusion after I witnessed their tank manoeuvres.
0:32:27 > 0:32:28Elter confirms it!
0:32:30 > 0:32:35If you ignore this, you are putting our country in peril!
0:32:35 > 0:32:37We'll continue the payments to Elter
0:32:37 > 0:32:39and the other arrangements that you set up.
0:32:39 > 0:32:44But we do not recommend changing our entire military strategy.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Good day, Colonel.
0:32:56 > 0:32:59PIANO PLAYS
0:33:01 > 0:33:04LAUGHTER
0:33:12 > 0:33:14Scotch.
0:33:14 > 0:33:16Not champagne?
0:33:16 > 0:33:19I have nothing to celebrate.
0:33:19 > 0:33:21LAUGHTER
0:33:21 > 0:33:23Why did you choose this place?
0:33:23 > 0:33:26- Because I want you to meet Armand. - Where is he?
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Oh, for God's sake, there's only one piano player.
0:33:35 > 0:33:37He's too old for you.
0:33:37 > 0:33:39- He's 36.- Too old!
0:33:39 > 0:33:41Why are you in such a foul mood?
0:33:41 > 0:33:44All sorts of reasons. Where's that Scotch?
0:33:52 > 0:33:56# Go down, Moses,
0:33:56 > 0:34:00# Way down in Egypt's land
0:34:00 > 0:34:04# Tell old Pharaoh
0:34:04 > 0:34:07# To let my people go
0:34:07 > 0:34:12# When Israel was in Egypt's land
0:34:12 > 0:34:16# Let my people go
0:34:16 > 0:34:19# Oppressed so hard they could not stand... #
0:34:19 > 0:34:20Lady Angela.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23I think we can dispense with "Lady".
0:34:23 > 0:34:26I hear you're staying in Paris. I'd like to give you a party.
0:34:26 > 0:34:28I'm not really a party person.
0:34:28 > 0:34:31I didn't think you were a nightclub person.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32My sister brought me.
0:34:32 > 0:34:35Ah, so she isn't the woman in your life.
0:34:36 > 0:34:40I've heard there is one. An amour fou, so they say.
0:34:40 > 0:34:42Not anymore.
0:34:42 > 0:34:44Oh, dear. Was she too young?
0:34:44 > 0:34:47Do I look like the sort of man who preys on younger women?
0:34:47 > 0:34:48I don't know.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51You've given no hint that you prey on women of my age.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55Perhaps I don't understand women of any age.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59You're a little drunk, Jean-Francois.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Do you think you could stagger as far as the Rue Bonaparte?
0:35:04 > 0:35:05What's there?
0:35:06 > 0:35:08My apartment.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12# Let my people go. #
0:35:18 > 0:35:20Prairie oyster, never fails.
0:35:22 > 0:35:24Never fails to what?
0:35:24 > 0:35:27Clear your head. Drink it down like a good boy.
0:35:35 > 0:35:38Last night I was in a strange mood. I drank too much.
0:35:38 > 0:35:42Oh, Jean-Francois, we had fun in a boozy nightclub and then we fucked.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45It's nothing more complicated than that. What are your plans?
0:35:45 > 0:35:48I'm taking unpaid leave.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51I've neglected my estate too long.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53We must stay in touch.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55I think we can be of use to our countries.
0:35:55 > 0:35:59I don't know if my country feels I'm any use at all.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02Well, that's because Lessard and half your general staff
0:36:02 > 0:36:05are with that bunch of fascists in the Action Francaise.
0:36:05 > 0:36:07They want France in bed with Germany.
0:36:07 > 0:36:11Anything that buffers them from the red menace.
0:36:11 > 0:36:15We have plenty of idiots in England who feel the same way.
0:36:18 > 0:36:19I'll make coffee.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41INAUDIBLE
0:36:42 > 0:36:43GUNSHOT
0:37:00 > 0:37:02DOOR OPENS
0:37:04 > 0:37:07We were supposed to look after the Rozens.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09We did. We gave them money, an apartment.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11They expected to live in some degree of safety,
0:37:11 > 0:37:13not afraid to walk down the street.
0:37:13 > 0:37:15So you'd have me sanction what, precisely?
0:37:15 > 0:37:1824-hour protection with a team of bodyguards
0:37:18 > 0:37:20for a couple of tired old Bolsheviks?
0:37:20 > 0:37:22They gave us everything they knew.
0:37:22 > 0:37:26And when they did, they knew the life they were getting into.
0:37:26 > 0:37:29A bullet in broad daylight? Occupational hazard.
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Should be grateful the Russians can't shoot straight.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16How ironic, Viktor,
0:38:16 > 0:38:20that die-hard communists should end up living in bourgeois splendour.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23Nah, there's nothing very splendid about the plumbing.
0:38:23 > 0:38:25Fernand, this is Viktor and Malka Rozen.
0:38:25 > 0:38:28- How long will they be staying, Monsieur?- Not sure.
0:38:28 > 0:38:31Be on guard for strangers in the village, in the field.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Because of our visitors?
0:38:33 > 0:38:35I understand.
0:38:39 > 0:38:40Thank you.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37My brother won't take phone calls or answer my letters.
0:39:37 > 0:39:39You have a fight?
0:39:40 > 0:39:41No.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45He was like this when his wife died.
0:39:45 > 0:39:49He went into this dark place and stayed there for a long time.
0:39:52 > 0:39:55I'd like us to visit him.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58Well, seeing me won't improve his mood.
0:39:58 > 0:40:01I don't like the country. I don't like dogs.
0:40:01 > 0:40:03I play jazz piano and I smoke 40 Gauloises a day.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Please, do this for me.
0:40:28 > 0:40:29Why haven't you been to see me?
0:40:31 > 0:40:34Is the night life of Warsaw so enticing?
0:40:35 > 0:40:37I haven't been in Warsaw, Mother.
0:40:37 > 0:40:40Hmm. You can't settle anywhere, can you?
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Which makes me think you're unhappy.
0:40:45 > 0:40:46My work is important.
0:40:46 > 0:40:50I've never quite understood what it is.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Is this my colour?
0:40:57 > 0:40:58Of course it is.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02I thought you might need it.
0:41:02 > 0:41:03I know how you feel the cold.
0:41:03 > 0:41:05They'll steal it.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07No, they won't.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15How's your officer? He's not Polish, you said.
0:41:17 > 0:41:18French.
0:41:18 > 0:41:20Your Frenchman's a gentleman?
0:41:28 > 0:41:30He's not my gentleman anymore.
0:41:46 > 0:41:49DOG BARKS
0:41:59 > 0:42:00I'm sorry - who are you?
0:42:00 > 0:42:05I'm Armand. The piano player. And yours needs tuning, by the way.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Oh, you're Gabrielle's friend.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10A little more than that, Colonel.
0:42:12 > 0:42:15What are you doing here? Why didn't I know you were coming?
0:42:15 > 0:42:18Because you'd have found some excuse not to see us.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21How are you?
0:42:21 > 0:42:22You look terrible.
0:42:30 > 0:42:33James Joyce said that
0:42:33 > 0:42:38Ireland is the only country that has never persecuted the Jews.
0:42:38 > 0:42:39Do you know why?
0:42:39 > 0:42:41No, why?
0:42:41 > 0:42:44- BOTH ROZENS:- Because they never let them in!
0:42:48 > 0:42:51More and more Jewish people are coming to Paris.
0:42:51 > 0:42:56Many of them come to my stall, trying to sell paintings, jewellery.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00And when they've sold them, where do they plan to go? Hmm?
0:43:00 > 0:43:02Palestine? America?
0:43:02 > 0:43:05I don't have an art collection to sell.
0:43:05 > 0:43:08I guess I could always play piano on an ocean liner
0:43:08 > 0:43:11if the war breaks out, jump ship in Havana.
0:43:11 > 0:43:14You could play in a casino and I'll be the cigarette girl.
0:43:14 > 0:43:17For God's sake, you two, be serious.
0:43:19 > 0:43:23This life we have, this life we love, you take for granted.
0:43:25 > 0:43:27It could all vanish. Just like that.
0:43:29 > 0:43:31So what do you suggest?
0:43:33 > 0:43:35We live every day afraid of tomorrow?
0:43:35 > 0:43:38- MALKA:- That's how we were living.
0:43:38 > 0:43:42A little less now, thanks to your brother.
0:43:42 > 0:43:45At least be aware of what tomorrow might be.
0:43:47 > 0:43:50People act as though the worst will never happen.
0:43:50 > 0:43:52That's just how you act yourself.
0:43:56 > 0:43:58How can you say that?
0:43:59 > 0:44:03You don't do anything about anything.
0:44:03 > 0:44:06Apart from drink your way through Father's cellar.
0:44:07 > 0:44:11Do you think your father would mind if we, er, drank another one?
0:44:13 > 0:44:14Help yourself.
0:44:22 > 0:44:24If you'll excuse me.
0:44:25 > 0:44:26Good night.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29- Good night.- Good night.
0:45:30 > 0:45:31Emile saw the pair of them.
0:45:31 > 0:45:34Driving up to the woods above the south meadow.
0:45:34 > 0:45:36The two you described to me.
0:45:41 > 0:45:42You stay here.
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Of course, sir.
0:45:55 > 0:45:57Where's the Colonel going?
0:45:57 > 0:45:59We'll find out at dinner tonight.
0:46:13 > 0:46:15TWIG SNAPS
0:46:29 > 0:46:31TWO GUNSHOTS
0:46:37 > 0:46:39We need shovels.
0:46:44 > 0:46:45I blame myself.
0:46:45 > 0:46:49The Soviets knew it was me you approached in Warsaw.
0:46:49 > 0:46:52They were bound to make the connection sooner or later.
0:46:52 > 0:46:53So these men who came...?
0:46:53 > 0:46:56I've dealt with that situation.
0:46:56 > 0:46:59Fernand is driving their car to Lyon. He'll dump it somewhere.
0:46:59 > 0:47:00And us?
0:47:02 > 0:47:05I spoke to Paris last night and again this morning.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09You're going to Brittany, a pretty village, apparently, on the sea.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12I'll drive you as far as Paris.
0:47:12 > 0:47:13You're leaving too?
0:47:13 > 0:47:17Yes. My sister's right.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19I've been buried here for too long.
0:47:30 > 0:47:32I brought you these.
0:47:33 > 0:47:34Oh.
0:47:35 > 0:47:37I was rather hoping for truffles.
0:47:37 > 0:47:39Don't they come from your neck of the woods?
0:47:39 > 0:47:42You don't look like you need them. What was it?
0:47:42 > 0:47:46Gallstones. How on earth does one get gallstones?
0:47:46 > 0:47:50- 50 years of foie gras and charcuterie?- Rubbish.
0:47:50 > 0:47:51So why are you here?
0:47:53 > 0:47:55I need to go to work, General.
0:47:55 > 0:47:57I need to get back in the game.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01Recently, we reached an agreement with the Poles
0:48:01 > 0:48:03in the event of their being invaded.
0:48:03 > 0:48:06We're talking about a very dangerous mission.
0:48:06 > 0:48:10It's essential to their sovereignty and long-term survival.
0:48:10 > 0:48:13It's only known to a few at the highest possible level.
0:48:13 > 0:48:16I had a man leaving in two days.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20But you know the Poles better. You can replace him.
0:48:20 > 0:48:21Thank you.
0:48:23 > 0:48:27I'd like to see whatever you've received from Elter in the last few months.
0:48:27 > 0:48:28Rather dull reading recently,
0:48:28 > 0:48:31but I'll arrange it with Lessard.
0:48:31 > 0:48:34And when you get back from Warsaw, I'll be out of this place
0:48:34 > 0:48:36and we can enjoy a really good lunch.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38Will your doctors allow it?
0:48:38 > 0:48:40I won't invite them.
0:48:43 > 0:48:47So, you think you can find things in here that we missed, is that it?
0:48:47 > 0:48:51Not at all. I just want to get back in the picture. It's been a while.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53And yet you're off on a high-priority mission
0:48:53 > 0:48:55which is classified to us mere mortals.
0:48:55 > 0:48:59I know Poland. I have contacts and connections.
0:48:59 > 0:49:01And Beauvilliers behind you.
0:49:01 > 0:49:04That won't last long if war breaks out.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07You still say "if".
0:49:23 > 0:49:25I've set the meeting in here.
0:49:25 > 0:49:28Your old apartment's empty so you can stay there.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31No housekeeper, I'm afraid.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33How long will you be with us?
0:49:33 > 0:49:35Two days, perhaps.
0:49:35 > 0:49:38Oh, what a shame. It's not the same without you.
0:49:38 > 0:49:40Have you been in touch with Anna?
0:49:40 > 0:49:41She's in New York at the moment.
0:49:41 > 0:49:46- New York! Goodness.- The League has a pavilion at the World's Fair.
0:49:46 > 0:49:48Ah, Mercier! Couldn't stay away, huh?
0:49:48 > 0:49:51Erm, do you want me to sit in on this meeting?
0:49:51 > 0:49:53Thank you, that won't be necessary.
0:49:53 > 0:49:56Ah, I see. So there's nothing that you need?
0:49:56 > 0:49:57Coffee would be nice.
0:50:02 > 0:50:05Obviously the Germans will attack from the west,
0:50:05 > 0:50:07so our route has to be south-east, into Romania.
0:50:07 > 0:50:11Our Foreign Ministry has already made overtures with Bucharest.
0:50:11 > 0:50:15There'll be a freighter at Constanza on the Black Sea.
0:50:15 > 0:50:19It will fly a neutral flag but have a French crew and an armed escort.
0:50:22 > 0:50:24It will take the consignment to Marseilles.
0:50:24 > 0:50:26Ultimate destination - Zurich.
0:50:26 > 0:50:30I want you to be the person who sees it through.
0:50:30 > 0:50:32I'll insist on it.
0:50:32 > 0:50:34Of course, I hope it never comes to this.
0:50:34 > 0:50:36We both know it will.
0:50:42 > 0:50:43When I was last here,
0:50:43 > 0:50:49I got a tip that led to me setting up an informant in IN6 in Berlin.
0:50:49 > 0:50:51Anything to share with me?
0:50:51 > 0:50:52You wouldn't want it.
0:50:52 > 0:50:55I've been over all the recent material in the last two days.
0:50:55 > 0:50:57I think it's tainted.
0:50:58 > 0:50:59Is Doctor Lapp in Warsaw?
0:50:59 > 0:51:01He is. Why?
0:51:03 > 0:51:05It was Lapp who gave me the tip.
0:51:22 > 0:51:26The world has not improved
0:51:26 > 0:51:29since we saw each other last, I fear.
0:51:30 > 0:51:32When I saw you in Berlin,
0:51:32 > 0:51:34I was grateful for your discretion.
0:51:37 > 0:51:39If war does break out,
0:51:39 > 0:51:42you will understand that I must serve my country,
0:51:42 > 0:51:44- whoever its leaders.- Of course.
0:51:50 > 0:51:53I wanted to thank you for the Halbach connection.
0:51:53 > 0:51:54As far as I know, he's safe.
0:51:54 > 0:51:56Yes, I had heard that.
0:51:56 > 0:51:59And did it lead you to his contact?
0:51:59 > 0:52:01Or am I asking too much?
0:52:01 > 0:52:03It did. He's been very useful.
0:52:04 > 0:52:07Except I think he's been exposed.
0:52:07 > 0:52:09Turned.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13- Feeding us what the Nazis want us to believe.- Really?
0:52:14 > 0:52:16What makes you think so?
0:52:17 > 0:52:20The quality of his intelligence.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24You have powerful connections in Berlin, Doctor.
0:52:25 > 0:52:28Would it be possible to confirm my suspicions?
0:52:28 > 0:52:31- Are they shared by the Deuxieme Bureau?- No.
0:52:31 > 0:52:33So far I've kept this to myself.
0:52:33 > 0:52:35I suggest you do,
0:52:35 > 0:52:39until I have made some enquiries.
0:52:39 > 0:52:42I will be discreet, but...
0:52:42 > 0:52:44we are on dangerous ground, you and I.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21FLOORBOARDS CREAK
0:53:34 > 0:53:36MORE CREAKING
0:54:14 > 0:54:15GUNSHOT
0:54:22 > 0:54:25HE PANTS
0:54:35 > 0:54:37A few hours after I confided in Doctor Lapp,
0:54:37 > 0:54:39someone came to kill me.
0:54:39 > 0:54:42So I can only assume he was trying to silence me.
0:54:42 > 0:54:44If I convinced my superiors of my suspicions,
0:54:44 > 0:54:47then the Elter pipeline would be useless to the Nazis.
0:54:47 > 0:54:50You think Lapp set you up in the first place
0:54:50 > 0:54:52- to discover Elter's identity? - Convinced of it.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54Did you get Pakulski to arrest him?
0:54:54 > 0:54:57There's no evidence. Nothing they can hold him on.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59Besides, if you know who your enemy is,
0:54:59 > 0:55:02it's sometimes best to keep him in play.
0:55:02 > 0:55:05What a tortured, twisted business this espionage is.
0:55:07 > 0:55:09Do you want to add gout to gallstones?
0:55:10 > 0:55:13I dreamed of this when I was in hospital.
0:55:16 > 0:55:19How seriously do you regard Lady Angela?
0:55:19 > 0:55:23She may seem frivolous but she has very good connections
0:55:23 > 0:55:26- with people who have Churchill's ear.- Can you put things in motion?
0:55:26 > 0:55:28Oh, sooner than you think.
0:55:32 > 0:55:34- I'm sure he is.- But clearly,
0:55:34 > 0:55:37- discretion is called for at this point.- Yes.
0:55:39 > 0:55:42Colonel Mercier, I'd like to introduce Duff Cooper.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45You have sympathetic ears here, Colonel.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48This is my analysis of the Belgian scenario.
0:55:48 > 0:55:52Though I should add that some of my superiors don't give it much credence.
0:55:52 > 0:55:55We'll meet again, Colonel, possibly later tonight.
0:55:55 > 0:55:57I leave that to you, Angela.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08Duff is Churchill's Private Secretary,
0:56:08 > 0:56:10so your report won't gather dust in an in-tray.
0:56:10 > 0:56:12If they respond well,
0:56:12 > 0:56:15you might want to follow this up with a trip across the Channel.
0:56:15 > 0:56:17Not too onerous a mission?
0:56:17 > 0:56:20A midnight sleeper to London with Her Ladyship.
0:56:20 > 0:56:23I think it might be safer if we flew.
0:56:23 > 0:56:26By the way, who was that man who didn't say anything?
0:56:26 > 0:56:28He's in our game. I think his name's Philby.
0:56:37 > 0:56:40INAUDIBLE
0:56:47 > 0:56:49LAUGHTER
0:56:55 > 0:56:57What is it?
0:57:16 > 0:57:18Max Mostov!
0:57:20 > 0:57:23God in heaven! The dashing Colonel.
0:57:23 > 0:57:25Handsome as ever, I see.
0:57:27 > 0:57:30I assumed you were dead. Or in a gulag.
0:57:30 > 0:57:34I was fortunate. They gave me a rap on the knuckles,
0:57:34 > 0:57:36then threw me in jail for a few months.
0:57:36 > 0:57:41And then they send you to Paris to recuperate? You're a liar.
0:57:42 > 0:57:45You're one of theirs. You always were.
0:57:47 > 0:57:49You had us all fooled, I give you that.
0:57:49 > 0:57:54You know, when you are always with people who don't know who you really are,
0:57:54 > 0:57:59who do not know that secret part of you,
0:57:59 > 0:58:02it makes you feel, in a way, above them.
0:58:03 > 0:58:05Do you think that's the appeal?
0:58:05 > 0:58:07Nothing about that appeals to me.
0:58:07 > 0:58:11Water under the bridge.
0:58:11 > 0:58:13This is a crazy business of ours, hey?
0:58:13 > 0:58:15Look at us.
0:58:15 > 0:58:17Now we are comrades in arms,
0:58:17 > 0:58:21Soviets and French united against the dreaded Hitler.
0:58:21 > 0:58:24HE CHUCKLES
0:58:24 > 0:58:26We should drink to this.
0:58:26 > 0:58:28I don't want to drink with you, Max.
0:58:28 > 0:58:29Suit yourself.
0:58:31 > 0:58:36I hear it did not go so well with you and the lovely Anna.
0:58:36 > 0:58:38She wasted a lot of pointless tears on you.
0:58:38 > 0:58:41DOOR OPENS
0:58:41 > 0:58:42And I tell you something.
0:58:44 > 0:58:46I would have her back.
0:58:46 > 0:58:48Just like that!
0:59:02 > 0:59:04I wanted to strangle him with my bare hands.
0:59:04 > 0:59:07Then I calmed down and realised, I have to tell Anna.
0:59:07 > 0:59:10- It's going to make all the difference.- And have you?
0:59:10 > 0:59:12Not yet. She's on her way back from New York.
0:59:12 > 0:59:14Is this the love of your life?
0:59:14 > 0:59:16The second love of my life.
0:59:16 > 0:59:20Armand's my third. The first two don't really count.
0:59:20 > 0:59:21Thank you.
0:59:21 > 0:59:24Your love will be put to the test if there's a war.
0:59:24 > 0:59:26Because Armand's a Jew?
0:59:27 > 0:59:30Maybe he should take that boat to Havana.
0:59:30 > 0:59:33He won't leave Paris. And he won't leave me.
0:59:33 > 0:59:35Forgive the intrusion.
0:59:35 > 0:59:36May I join you for a moment?
0:59:36 > 0:59:38Of course, please.
0:59:38 > 0:59:39Do you want to talk in private?
0:59:39 > 0:59:41No, my dear.
0:59:41 > 0:59:44The whole world will know when it wakes up in the morning.
0:59:45 > 0:59:50The Deuxieme Bureau has picked up an intercept to the German Embassy.
0:59:51 > 0:59:55Hitler has signed a non-aggression pact with Stalin.
0:59:55 > 0:59:56What?
0:59:56 > 0:59:58Two men who vilified each other for years.
0:59:58 > 1:00:01They'd make Machiavelli proud.
1:00:01 > 1:00:04Only days ago, the Russians were at that conference
1:00:04 > 1:00:07with their bland smiles and bad suits.
1:00:07 > 1:00:08They signed an agreement with us!
1:00:08 > 1:00:12- And what does this mean?- It's a vile and cynical tactic so that Russia
1:00:12 > 1:00:15and Germany can carve up Poland between them.
1:00:17 > 1:00:20War is inevitable, a matter of days.
1:00:20 > 1:00:22You must leave as soon as possible.

1:00:39 > 1:00:43Oh, my dear girl, what a terrible time for Poland, terrible.
1:00:43 > 1:00:45What are you doing here?
1:00:45 > 1:00:47Colonel Mercier asked me to meet you.
1:00:47 > 1:00:51He should be in Warsaw in a day or so and he's desperate to see you.
1:00:51 > 1:00:53I don't wish to see him.
1:00:54 > 1:00:58I think you might, my dear, when you hear what he's asked me to tell you.
1:00:58 > 1:01:00It's about Max.
1:01:17 > 1:01:22Malka, we will always be afraid.
1:01:22 > 1:01:28Either as defectors or Jews.
1:01:32 > 1:01:33We live among strangers.
1:01:34 > 1:01:37Who knows who will be the first to point the finger?
1:01:39 > 1:01:46This way we will be together, always.
1:02:12 > 1:02:13Good to see you, Colonel.
1:02:13 > 1:02:15You too, Marek. What's the mood here?
1:02:15 > 1:02:18Everyone under 40 has to collect call-up papers.
1:02:18 > 1:02:21- Plus all reservists and ex-soldiers. - Not you?
1:02:21 > 1:02:24The Colonel wants me on this assignment you're on.
1:02:24 > 1:02:27He won't tell me what it is.
1:02:38 > 1:02:40What do you want from me?
1:02:40 > 1:02:44First, your silence about everything you see and hear from now on.
1:02:45 > 1:02:47I need all the seats ripped out of those coaches
1:02:47 > 1:02:50and the floorboards taken up to make room for some crates.
1:02:50 > 1:02:55Everything needs to be back in place by tomorrow morning.
1:02:55 > 1:02:56Is it ammunition?
1:02:56 > 1:03:00I mean, I need to know if this thing could blow up at any minute.
1:03:00 > 1:03:02I can't tell you what it is.
1:03:02 > 1:03:04And I'm supposed to drive it?
1:03:04 > 1:03:06That's what you do, isn't it?
1:03:06 > 1:03:07For 40 years, yes.
1:03:12 > 1:03:14Was this the original plan?
1:03:16 > 1:03:19Everything's changed since those bastards took us by surprise.
1:03:19 > 1:03:21We're improvising.
1:03:21 > 1:03:23So when will we leave?
1:03:23 > 1:03:25Not before morning.
1:03:25 > 1:03:26I'll check in with the Embassy.
1:03:26 > 1:03:30Oh! Last night. Bold as brass in the Cafe Cleo.
1:03:30 > 1:03:34Dr Lapp, with his coffee and his cognac, expressing his regret
1:03:34 > 1:03:36that these things have come to pass between our two great nations.
1:03:36 > 1:03:38He's still here?
1:03:38 > 1:03:39Yes.
1:03:55 > 1:03:57What have you heard?
1:03:57 > 1:03:59German tanks are heading for Poland.
1:03:59 > 1:04:0152 divisions, that's a million and a half men.
1:04:01 > 1:04:04And Stalin has 40 divisions on our eastern border.
1:04:04 > 1:04:07They'll bomb the airfields first. Then telephone exchanges.
1:04:07 > 1:04:08When will you get out?
1:04:08 > 1:04:11We're waiting for Paris to tell us. You were right all along.
1:04:13 > 1:04:15I'll take this to the Ambassador.
1:04:17 > 1:04:21- Anna?- I saw her. I told her about Max.
1:04:21 > 1:04:22And?
1:04:22 > 1:04:23Shock. Tears. Regret.
1:04:25 > 1:04:27I have to see her. Where is she?
1:04:27 > 1:04:29She went to the country to be with her mother.
1:04:29 > 1:04:30I have an address.
1:04:42 > 1:04:45Why have I been brought to this dreadful place?
1:04:54 > 1:04:56You're accused of espionage, Dr Lapp.
1:04:56 > 1:04:57Accused by whom?
1:04:57 > 1:04:58Colonel Mercier.
1:05:01 > 1:05:03That's outrageous.
1:05:03 > 1:05:04He has no evidence.
1:05:04 > 1:05:05We don't need evidence.
1:05:05 > 1:05:07We are not arresting you.
1:05:07 > 1:05:10We are detaining you under the Emergency Powers Act.
1:05:10 > 1:05:11There's no such thing!
1:05:11 > 1:05:13It's what we enact when we're
1:05:13 > 1:05:15about to be invaded by a hostile foreign power.
1:05:15 > 1:05:18I demand to speak to someone from my Embassy.
1:05:18 > 1:05:20Your demand is duly noted.
1:05:20 > 1:05:22Now, give me your belt and shoes.
1:05:32 > 1:05:34How many more of those are there?
1:05:34 > 1:05:36Another two truckloads.
1:05:43 > 1:05:45What's the total weight?
1:05:45 > 1:05:47About 40,000 kilograms.
1:05:49 > 1:05:52That's more than the average train packed with passengers.

1:07:31 > 1:07:33No, your official mission begins here, now, with me.
1:07:33 > 1:07:37And if you jeopardise it, I'll see you are court-martialled.
1:07:37 > 1:07:39I will make it back to the train.

1:11:43 > 1:11:44I want you both to come with me.
1:11:45 > 1:11:47- Where to?- Out of Poland.
1:11:47 > 1:11:51We have to pick up a train 20 kilometres from here.
1:11:51 > 1:11:54So be as quick as you can, take as little as you need.

1:12:14 > 1:12:15You're in love.
1:12:20 > 1:12:22You have a life ahead of you.
1:12:25 > 1:12:26Mine's behind me.
1:13:12 > 1:13:15I can see smoke. Look!
1:13:47 > 1:13:49Do we slow down?
1:13:49 > 1:13:51Not if he's not there.
1:14:00 > 1:14:01He's not stopping!
1:14:20 > 1:14:25The car. It's the car, Colonel.
1:14:44 > 1:14:45Colonel?
1:14:47 > 1:14:49Hit the brakes!
1:15:12 > 1:15:13You cut it fine.
1:15:13 > 1:15:15Thank God I had a French car.
1:15:15 > 1:15:16Good to see you, Anna.
1:15:19 > 1:15:20OK, let's go.
1:15:53 > 1:15:58We're heading for the border. You, Pakulski, armed guards.
1:15:58 > 1:15:59What's going on?
1:16:02 > 1:16:03We have a hidden cargo.
1:16:05 > 1:16:06Under our feet?
1:16:08 > 1:16:10What is it?
1:16:15 > 1:16:18We're evacuating the entire Polish national bullion reserve.
1:16:20 > 1:16:22Before the Nazis can get their hands on it.
1:16:24 > 1:16:25Gold?
1:16:27 > 1:16:3140 cases. 10 ingots in every case.

1:17:17 > 1:17:19Roman Kosinksi.
1:17:19 > 1:17:21Oh, a student?
1:17:21 > 1:17:24I was. Now I've no idea what I am.
1:17:24 > 1:17:27And I may never see my family again.
1:17:27 > 1:17:29You must believe that you will.
1:17:29 > 1:17:32That they will survive and so will you.
1:17:33 > 1:17:36You survived polio.
1:17:39 > 1:17:42Is it true we are headed for Romania?
1:17:42 > 1:17:43So they say.
1:17:43 > 1:17:46Ah, I have cousins there.
1:17:46 > 1:17:48They have a fine orchestra.
1:17:48 > 1:17:53If they won't have me, it will mean a cap on the pavement.
1:18:00 > 1:18:02Will you go back to fight this war, Colonel?
1:18:05 > 1:18:06We both will.
1:18:21 > 1:18:22THEY SPEAK GERMAN
1:18:47 > 1:18:48Stop! Stop!
1:18:53 > 1:18:55Good of you to let us know. We're Polish.
1:19:56 > 1:19:57What's happening?
1:19:57 > 1:19:58There's a girl.
1:20:04 > 1:20:05What's happened?
1:20:07 > 1:20:09I'm not sure, stay here.
1:20:09 > 1:20:10You two with me.
1:20:15 > 1:20:16Here, take this.
1:20:22 > 1:20:23I don't know how to use this.
1:20:24 > 1:20:29I'll show you. I didn't always play the violin.
1:20:32 > 1:20:33Get in.
1:20:35 > 1:20:38Is something wrong?
1:20:38 > 1:20:40Please, Excellency.
1:20:44 > 1:20:46Take me with you.
1:20:48 > 1:20:51Stay here, don't leave the bullion.
1:20:51 > 1:20:53I'm going to see what's happening.
1:20:59 > 1:21:01You don't have to pay me.

1:21:29 > 1:21:31I work for the railroad.
1:21:31 > 1:21:35You don't look like railroad worker. Anything valuable on this train?
1:21:35 > 1:21:38Just people, heading for the border.
1:21:39 > 1:21:41Running, huh?
1:21:41 > 1:21:42Why not?
1:21:42 > 1:21:44The Poles are finished.
1:22:01 > 1:22:02What do you want from us?
1:22:02 > 1:22:05Money. Jewellery. Women.
1:22:06 > 1:22:09Don't worry, we won't take ugly ones.
1:22:09 > 1:22:10Give me that watch.
1:22:21 > 1:22:23You don't get this working for railroad.
1:22:24 > 1:22:26What do you see down there?
1:22:33 > 1:22:34HE SPEAKS OWN LANGUAGE

1:23:15 > 1:23:18Fine. There's two more back in the carriage,
1:23:18 > 1:23:19they're not going anywhere.
1:23:19 > 1:23:22I'm sorry. They make me.
1:23:47 > 1:23:50Why don't we settle in a cabin in the wild -
1:23:50 > 1:23:54a well, a few goats
1:23:54 > 1:23:56and hundreds of miles from the war?
1:23:58 > 1:24:01I'd need dogs. And some books.
1:24:02 > 1:24:03And a good cellar.
1:24:05 > 1:24:07And I'd learn to sew.
1:24:07 > 1:24:09Where are we anyway?
1:24:09 > 1:24:12We'll reach the border tomorrow.
1:24:12 > 1:24:13And then?
1:24:14 > 1:24:16I'll never let you out of my sight.
1:24:19 > 1:24:22Could be in France in four or five weeks, we'll get married.
1:24:24 > 1:24:26If you want to make a respectable woman of me,
1:24:26 > 1:24:28I'm afraid you're too late.
1:24:29 > 1:24:30I can still try.
1:25:41 > 1:25:43Looks like we're expected.
1:25:44 > 1:25:47If it goes well with the Romanians, the rest is up to you.
1:25:54 > 1:25:57The future is uncertain, to say the least.
1:25:57 > 1:26:00Whatever it may be, you two face it together.
1:26:56 > 1:26:58What now?
1:26:58 > 1:27:00We do our best to stay alive.
