All language subtitles for Candlelight in Algeria (1944)

Our story is unfolding
in Algeria during a difficult time

before the Allied invasion of North Africa.

Algiers - headquarters
German Armistice Commission

was under the control of the Vichy regime.

Britain fought on
about his empire in the sands of Libya.

America, still friendly with the Vichys,

she was preparing for hers
the first land campaign of the war in the West.

This is not a war story,
but about adventure

about the secret meeting that stood
at the great victory of the Allies.

VICTORY TUNISIA 1943

He is awake.

Thank you, sister.

How are you feeling my child?

I'm not sure.

Probably good.

Where am I?

At the Little Sisters Hospital in Tunis.

- How on earth did I get here?
- You were injured during the bombing.

Nothing serious. You were just confused.

It's alright. They are from us.

- From U.S?
- IAF, JMSE.

So is it all over?

Those planes are participating in the victory parade.

I wish he could be there with them.

What's his name?

Thurston.

Alan Thurston.

He played a big part in that.

I think.

Why do you think that?

I'm sure,
that he would find me if he were alive.

Nobody knows where you are.

We don't even know your name.

Susan Ann Foster.

- From New York?
- Kansas. Why?

We found in your bag
New York newspaper clipping.

GENERAL MARK CLARK'S SECRET MISSION
IN A BRITISH SUBMARINE

“A tribute to silence.

General Eisenhower said,

that if it weren't for the secret mission
General Mark Clark and his men,

when they consulted
with friendly French officers

in a lonely house
on the coast of North Africa,

following military
airdrops would not be necessary

without major loss of life.”

That was the beginning.

All of that.

Do you know anything about it?

- Quite a lot.
- You can tell me about it.

It started in Biskra.

- Did you live there?
- I lived with my aunt.

She is married to a Frenchman.
Durrier, the sculptor.

When he left France,
founded a studio in Biskra.

I liked working there.

I remember modeling the head.

I'm sorry, mademoiselle.

But since it's raining, I should
go to Dr. Crain's house

with things from Madame and Monsieur Durrier.

Okay Arnaud.

Mademoiselle will remain alone in the house.

It's alright.

- Hands up.
- Please?

If you move, I'll shoot.

In that case, I won't move.

Put that money down.

I'm terribly sorry.
I have to get out of here. They're after me.

I have no doubts about it.

I said put the money down.

I'm not bluffing.

Maybe I should introduce myself.

Alan Thurston, 17th Lancers, 8th Army.

Aren't you a little off?

Certainly. Dorothy was
eliminated already at the Ninth Bridge.

Dorothy?

Dorothy Lamour. My tank.

Very interesting.

I'm going to call the police now.

I sailed to Italy on a prisoner ship

but ours salted it nicely,
and therefore she had to go to Algiers.

I ran away.

Is it true?

I only have my word. I hid in Algiers.

That is another story.
So the police rounded me up

and brought it here to ruin
great fortresses. I just ran away.

Do you know that I believe you?

It is kind of you.

My reason why would not please you.

Okay, out with it, why?

Only a Brit would be possible
to be seen with such a hideous moustache.

I thought America
has everything bigger and better.

- Now listen.
- Do you mind if I sit on it?

Or will you start singing the American national anthem?

You don't look good.

Did they treat you badly?

No, not at all.

That's considerate.

The French certainly wouldn't hurt
detained British officer.

It doesn't just matter to the French.
Dr. Müller played a role in this.

Who is it?

Herr doctor is prominent
member of the Armistice Commission.

It promotes cultural relations here
between the Germans and the French.

German idea of how someone
to force him to talk is not to feed him,

and let him observe how you are
someone else is enjoying delicious food.

Nice people.

- I'll bring you something to eat.
- No, thanks.

I have to take it slow.

But I would like a cigarette.

I only have American cigarettes.

- Don't you despise them?
- Sister, I think they are excellent.

- You are Durrier's American niece, right?
- Yes.

From Kansas City?

How do you know that?

News travels fast, even in prison.

Why did you come here?
Were you looking for me.

To begin with, I have to pay a bribe
trip to Algiers. I need money for that.

You're crazy. You have no chance.

In the name of the law, open!

Looks like it. The dogs from France overtook me.

What will the fox do? Will he run or bury himself?

He will bury himself.

Come on.

Harboring an escaped prisoner is a crime.

- Müller won't let it go.
- Get in there, you old school.

- Take this, it might come in handy.
- OK honey.

If you do not open immediately,
I'll have to break down the door!

Mademoiselle.

Can you speak slower?

I do not understand.

We would like to search your house.
The prisoner escaped.

There's no one here but me.

It is possible that you are wrong. Excuse me.

You can't do that. I will file an official complaint.

This is Mr. Durrier's house
and Mr. Durrier is French.

And Madame Durrier is American.

Yes, but Mr. Durrier is French.
It will only be a moment. Follow me.

You won't get away with this.

Mademoiselle.

I agree.

They won't get away with it.

Back to the fort, now.

Attention!

On the way to the entrance!

Left right!

You are right, Miss Foster.

Please accept my sincere apology.

Thank you sir…

I am Dr. Müller.

It's a magical house.

I greatly admire Mr. Durrier's work.

I suppose you thought
that I'm acting like a fool.

Not at all.

I'm afraid I am
she lost her temper in front of the sergeant.

The French can be annoying.
They get excited for no reason.

Yes, but I don't understand
why they chose this house.

Well, it's not unusual.

A prisoner escaped and they believe
that it is their duty to catch him.

No doubt he was hungry.

I see you've already had dinner.

No. That's my aunt. Before she left
upstairs, she had a glass of milk.

- Has he been up for a while?
- All night.

- Why?
- But it's nothing.

There is a wet mark on the glass.

In this climate it would dry out in minutes.

- You are very bright.
- But not at all.

I just thought
that the person could come here

without your knowledge.

No thank you.

Were you upstairs when the soldiers came?

Yes.

I thought so.
It took a long time for you to open.

It would be rude to ask
what lipstick do you use.

Not at all.

It's called New York.

Why, do you want her for your wife?

Oh no. I am not married.

And anyway, German women
do they despise such things, or not?

I know very little about women.

For example, I naively thought

that lipstick would on a cigarette
she always left a mark.

Oh yes.

But when I smoked that cigarette
I wasn't wearing lipstick.

I understand. You applied it later.

How could I have guessed who was behind the door?

It would also be a reason
why didn't you open it right away.

- Exactly.
- Exactly.

- Thank you for your time.
- Thank you for preventing the invasion.

- Miss Foster, a little advice.
- Yes?

It is dangerous to mix
into things you know nothing about.

- Like?
- Politics.

- I don't even plan to.
- Good.

I'm actually leaving for Algiers tomorrow.

- To Algiers?
- Arrange a trip home.

So when we meet again
apparently it will be in America, in peace.

German peace?

World peace. It's the same.

Auf Wiedersehen.

Will you join?

Yes, thanks.

The conversation with the doctor made me hungry.

It usually has the opposite effect on me.

Are you serious about going to the States?

Yes. I will join ŽAS.

- For what?
- To the Women's Army Corps.

I want to join the war.

The doctor would be interested in that.

I'm pretty good
she consulted him, don't you think?

He didn't believe you for a minute.

It's alright. He doesn't want to catch me
he just wants to watch me.

Follow you? Where?

- To Algiers.
- But why?

I have a Binta camera.

Camera? Whose camera?

Listen, your shelter in Algiers

I shared with one man
from your country, by Tex Murray.

- I've never heard of him.
- You probably won't even hear. Is dead.

But before he died
he hid the camera in Maritza's apartment.

- That actress Maritza?
- Yes.

I had to promise
that I will get it and pass it on.

Why all the fuss about the camera?

It's not about the camera, it's about what's on it.

They say one of Müller's men
used to photograph our map.

This is no ordinary map, it is special.

Maybe with fortifications?

No, it's just a deserted piece of coastline.

There's nothing there except one
seemingly lonely house.

Well, that doesn't sound too important.

According to Murray, it is being discussed
about the most important thing

what ever happened to my country and your country.

However, him
obtained from Müller's men and disappeared.

He went to see his girlfriend.

- Maritza?
- Yeah.

After that, something had to happen.

He realized they were after him
and left it in Maritza's desk.

And Maritza?

She knows nothing about him.
If so, she would sell it to Müller.

She would sell her own grandmother.

So Müller has no idea where he is.

No, but he knows I do
and he hopes I will lead him there.

And how are you going to shake him off?

Well, if he keeps following me,

someone else could take that camera.

Not by chance. I won't let myself
to dip into something foul.

It's a damn serious thing
more important than you think.

Who do you think I am Mata Hari?

You said you wanted to join.

I want to join the war
but I will do it my way

I know, simple. You dress up nicely
and you will flirt with the officers.

Not that.
I will wash the dishes and scrub the floors.

What's the point if they put me
against the wall and shoot me?

Come on, Kansas, don't get so mad.

No one will shoot you.

Go home and join ŽAS.

To go

I'll give you some parting advice.

If you're being watched, shave off that mustache.

It will tell you a mile away.

Too bad, it's starting to grow on me.

I would give you a kiss
for one more Yankee cigarette.

Not with this one.

I'll give you a box… for nothing.

SECOND DESK DRAWER

“You can find me at Toutgout Cafe.
Consider yourself kissed.”

Such audacity.

It sounded so surreal,

and yet, in a world of war
strange things happen.

He said it was important.

Important to England and my United States.

I had a hunch,
that I can trust Thurston.

ALGIERS

So the next day when I went to Algiers…

I'm sorry, madam! Susan!

Henri de Lange! Of all people.

You're here, I'm lucky.
Today we're going to throw a bucket.

You mean from the hoof.

It does not matter. We'll get something out of it.

We'll have to hurry,
because I am only here for my reservation.

- Reservation? Perhaps not to America?
- I'm going home to join.

Oh, yes, you're in luck.
He's just waiting here.

We will have dinner today at Mediterranee.

- I probably won't make it anymore, Henri.
- But yes, you must.

You can't walk out of my life
without a proper goodbye. Please.

Well. Tonight at 8pm.

I'll wait.

Is the Nerd watching you or me?

He arrived by train all the way from Biskra.

Maybe he's trying to protect me
in front of charming French soldiers.

In that case, I'll return the compliment

and I will protect you from the fat ones
German pigs. Lets go.

I can do it, Henri.

Just look at that fern.
I think he's getting impatient.

Mon dieu. I completely forgot about him.

Carrier?

See you tonight.

- Hotel Mediterranee.
- Oui, Madame.

Cancel Hotel Mediterranee.
Hotel de France.

- Hotel de France?
- Hotel de France.

Nationality?
Permanent residence? Arrival date?

And here your signature please, mademoiselle.

Put the luggage in my room, will you?
I go out.

Yes, mademoiselle.

- Madam Maritza please.
- Madam is not at home.

- Will he be gone long?
- Who knows?

Look, I'm going to see madam
due to the modeling of her head.

- Mademoiselle is an artist?
- Exactly.

I do not have much time,
because I'm going back to America soon.

Do you think I could wait for madam?

Come in.

Please be quiet. The colonel is sleeping.

- Colonel? Inside?
- No, in the bedroom.

He's important, huh?

Colonel van Alven is the commander
German Armistice Commission.

Madame is very fond of him.

And Madame Maritza would
she didn't want him to be disturbed.

Not a young and beautiful lady.

I understand.

- Madam would be disturbed too.
- She would rage.

Believe me, mademoiselle, I know.
So will you be quiet?

No worries. I will.

- What are you doing here?
- I do not understand you.

Englishwoman.

- No.
- No?

Yes, American.

You know each other.

English women have beautiful skin.

French women are charmingly welcoming.

But American women…

- Don't say anything, let me guess.
- Wunderbar.

- What about German women?
- Terrible!

You need a proper rescuer.

- Please?
- It does not matter.

Or cast out the devil with the devil.

- Here, drink it.
- Thank you.

You American women are
as lovely as you are beautiful.

We're not that nice.
Tell Madame Maritza that I will come again.

No, don't go anywhere.
I want to tell you so much.

Next time. I'm in a hurry.

But you American girls
you are always in a hurry.

- No, I'm not letting you leave.
- Look, sir.

Call me Gottlieb.

Gottlieb!

Well then… don't you have any manners?

Taking women home, you bastard.

Please, dear. You do not understand.

I understand everything. You rotten bastard.

You miserable philanderer.
You poor bastard.

I agree with that.

Get out! I'm done with you.
Can you hear Ended!

Parchante, budizknicher.

- American?
- Yes.

I also. Wow, I'm watching.

Yes, really good, right?

Want to buy nice views?

No, thanks.

Want to take a photo?
Ten francs. Damn cheap.

- For a friend.
- No.

Good. I'll give you a discount for being American.

Five francs. It's up to you.

- Come on, sister.
- Get out of here, brother.

What would you like?

Coffee, please.

Do you know a Mr. Thurston?

Yvette.

He asks about Thurston.

- Bonjour, Mademoiselle.
- Bonjour.

- Did you ask about Mr. Thurston?
- Yes.

- Why?
- Well, I…

- What do you mean why?
- Why are you asking here?

He asked me to.

- When?
- A few days ago.

- Where?
- In Bi…

So you know him or not?

Maybe yes maybe no.

Good if you feel that way.

None of the men who come here
he will not reveal his name, mademoiselle.

And if they do, it's usually… Mr. Smith.

Your Mr. Thurston is
just another Mr. Smith to me.

Perhaps Mademoiselle could describe him to me?

Well, he is…

- It does not matter.
- Please?

- It does not matter.
- But mademoiselle.

Look, I have to Mr. Thurston
find it is very important.

I think you know him.

But, mademoiselle.
Mr. Thurston is not the man for you.

The police are looking for him.

I know about it. He is detained
an officer on the run.

- Did he tell you about it?
- Well, the police are after him.

Yes, but for a different reason.

Did you lend him money?

Yes, he took from me too.

But he was so charming, n'est-ce pas?

So nice, adorable, polite.

- He also convinced me.
- Skip this one.

- What was next?
- Well, that's all.

Now I work, cook and steal for him.

Are you stealing for him?

What are you stealing?

Whatever he likes.

He's clever, you know that.
I'm just following his orders.

I understand.

Thank you very much.

Goodbye.

I'm sorry, I'm late.
I was playing hide and seek.

- They're after me, you know.
- I am aware of that.

- Do you have the camera?
- Yes.

- Any trouble?
- No.

Thank God. It was a crazy idea.
It is not a task for a woman.

I did well for a beginner.
I'll improve it over time.

I should leave. Will you give it to me?

That camera is vital
for both our countries right?

Definitely.

And you call up the film
or destroy, right?

Certainly.

Well, you are quite wrong,
Mr. Conceit Thurstone.

You are crazy if
you think I'll give it to you.

After what I just heard
I don't believe you even between the nose and the eyes.

- Well, wait.
- Maybe it's important and maybe it's not.

But in any case
I will give it directly to the American consul.

You and your no task for a woman.

The only task that a woman would
compared to a man, she couldn't cope, she is…

grow a mustache like that.

Will you call the American consul?

- I'll take it in my room.
- Sure, mademoiselle.

- Hello? Is that a consulate?
- Yes.

This is Miss Susan Ann Foster.
Is the consul there?

I'm sorry, Miss Foster.
He won't come today.

- Would someone else be enough for you?
- Well, I'd rather talk to him directly.

- When will he come back?
- Tomorrow morning at 11:00.

Can you please arrange an appointment for me?
I will come at 11:00.

Good. Thank you.

Hello.

How nice of you to be on time.

And attractive.

Every time we see each other
you are more beautiful than before.

Don't you know that this is not good for my heart?

You look amazing
that you never expect me to believe you anything.

I'll convince you tonight
that you are wrong. Come, I have a table.

Excellent.

I wish I could say the same about the food.

There are so many Germans
that there is not enough of it.

I had no idea there were so many here.

The Armistice Commission is at home here.

You can find them all here.

Isn't that annoying to you?

How about tonight
could something be unpleasant?

Bravo!

You see, I'm a fast learner.
You couldn't do better yourself.

That is unfair.

Would you like to dance?

- Susan, can you promise me something?
- It depends on what it is.

For the first time ever, will you believe what I'm about to tell you?

If that's true.

I love you, Susan. Do you believe it?

Yes, Henry. I think yes.

I have loved you for a very long time.

But the war and today when I learned
that you are going back to America

I have to ask.
Susan, will you marry me?

- You like me too, don't you?
- Yes, I have, Henri.

So will you marry me?

Susan, does that mean yes?

Could we go back to our table?

Certainly.

Susan, rather than an answer
you focus on Madame Maritza.

I'm sorry, Henry.

Excuse me, Captain, you're on the phone.

Thank you.

I'm waiting for a call. Headquarters.

- You'll excuse me, won't you?
- Of course.

I will be back soon.

The young American woman who
she was so cold to me this morning.

- Can I sit down?
- I'm sorry, but I'm having dinner with a friend.

But that's lucky. You must introduce us.

I'm sure he'd be thrilled.

You must both dine with me.
We'll have lots of champagne.

- I don't think that would be wise.
- Why not?

- I wonder if you can me…
- Apologize? With pleasure.

Bonsoir, Madame.

- Can you deliver a message from me?
- With pleasure, ma'am.

Someone at the hotel?

Yes, Captain de Lange. In restaurant.

HENRY PLEASE EXCUSE ME
I WENT BACK TO THE HOTEL.

HORRIBLE HEADACHE SUSAN

I'll pass it on, ma'am.

- Thanks a lot.
- Merci, Madame.

- Good night.
- Bonsoir, Madame.

Miss Foster? I want to talk to you.

I'm sorry, but I'm in a hurry.

Why were you at my house this morning?

I came for permission
model your head.

You know, you're a famous person.
I also know you're lying.

- As you wish.
- There's something behind it.

- You better tell me the truth.
- I don't know what you're talking about.

Well, I… I don't want to get involved
into politics, understand?

Perfectly. Me neither.

Will you excuse me now please?

- Miss Foster?
- Yes?

- We would like some information from you.
- Who?

If you would mademoiselle
could she come in please?

- Are you trying to arrest me?
- Definitely not.

We just ask you to
to accompany us to headquarters.

I'm sorry, but I have a meeting at the hotel.

In that case, we'll take you there

and along the way we will stop at the headquarters.

She is American.

- Good evening, Fraulein.
- This is not police headquarters.

Someone suggested
that you are going to the police headquarters?

- The men in the car.
- How foolish.

This is headquarters
German Armistice Commission.

Thank you very much for your visit.

This way, please.

Enter.

- Thank you, Miss Foster.
- It's not worth talking about.

Sit down please.

Forgive me for being submerged
to such a childish game.

I have 24 different Algeria map puzzles.

You know, it makes geography easy to learn.

I love puzzles.

I'm sure of that.

It is an excellent preparation
to solve more challenging puzzles.

I don't like to disturb you
from fun doctor

but you made me come here
to solve puzzles with you?

Did they force it?

Those cops will be excited
due to irregularities in formalities.

- What was mine?
- Just a wrong statement

at your hotel registration.

I'm sure it will clear up soon.

Tell me, miss, have you spoken
today with the consul about your trip?

Yes. Everything is taken care of.

Excellent. I guess like all women
did you shop at the last minute?

I tried. But nothing much
it wasn't in stores.

So nothing interesting happened?

Not at all.

I am most of the day
spent resting at the hotel.

Wasn't it exciting to dine with a man
who is head over heels in love with you?

Captain de Lange is a close friend of mine.

And yet, as you Americans say,
you gave him a basket

- I had a headache.
- I'm sorry.

I hope it's better now.

What did you do with that camera?

With which camera?

With the one you seem to be
did she steal from Maritza's apartment?

But that's a foolish idea.

You are the foolish one, Miss Foster.

Let me go
I don't know about anything.

I have not done anything. I have no idea…

I had not hoped for such an obvious recognition.

Do you know what the penalty is for helping a spy?

Fraulein.

Please. I had no idea about anything.

I assure you I had no idea.
I swear I'm innocent.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Well then, I visited Maritza.
This woman just let me in.

- He's completely innocent.
- She lied.

That's enough.

I swear I'll never do it again.
I will never do it again. I am innocent.

Let me go, I didn't do anything.

Collaboration with the new order. Is that what you call it?

Why didn't you tell me
that you went to Maritza?

- I forgot.
- Why did you go there?

Look, doctor. I'm American
a citizen in a friendly country.

Miss Foster, you lied to me twice.

You lied the night I
visited Mr. Durrier's house,

and now you lie about everyone
of today's steps.

You probably don't realize

that you interfere in things
which are far too dangerous for you.

So for the last time
why did you go to Maritza's apartment?

I demand the truth.

And I demand that I can
contact the US consul.

It is not a problem.

You won't be any more successful

than when you are with him
she was trying to make a phone call from the hotel.

Do you understand now that there is no point in lying?

You went to Maritza's to steal the camera.

- Do you deny it?
- Yes.

You went to the Toutgout cafe from Maritza

to meet the Englishman Thurston.

You won't deny that. I have an owner here.

Now the question is
if you found the camera.

And if so, you gave it to Thurston
or the charming captain?

No?

Well, we'll find out.
Excuse me please.

Henry!

It's okay, Cheri. What happened?

I got myself into a real mess.

No worries.
I will see to your safe release.

I wouldn't be so sure about that, miss.

The French have talent
to make them look bold.

Captain de Lange, I sent
for you because you are this lady's friend.

Correctly. And I demand
her immediate release.

She chose not to release a certain fact.

Therefore, she is held on suspicion.

This also applies to her close friends.

- What do you mean?
- The decision is up to this lady.

For my sake, don't tell him, Susan.

Hello? I want to talk
with the French governor. Yes.

It is my department's responsibility
prevent collaboration with the enemy.

Miss Foster is American.
My government is friendly with America.

But not mine.

Hello? Major Rosier? This is Dr. Müller.

I have one of your officers here,

which I caught
in collaboration with an American spy.

Captain de Lange. Yes, thank you.

Your commanding officer has issued a warrant for your arrest.

He will send a police escort for you.

If by his involvement
you hope to make me…

I am not implicating anyone.
You got yourself into trouble.

We have to leave now, Miss Foster.
Please accompany me.

Hotel Mediterranee.

I'm sorry about the captain.
He will lose his credentials.

The true test of friendship occurs when
when we are in trouble.

Then we want to be surrounded by friends,
don't you think so Miss Foster?

It's nice to see

that one of your friends
surrounds us right now.

Don't get too excited.
It's just Mr. Thurston.

I expected him to be somewhere nearby.

I also have loyal friends.

Actually, one is waiting for Mr. Thurston now,

when he comes to save you.

Friendship is a wonderful thing.

What does that mean? In the middle of night?

Ah, Miss America again.

Hello Gottlieb. Come in.

So you decided to accept my invitation.

As promised,
there will be champagne too. It's already moving.

We didn't come for a social visit.

Where are your manners Müller?
This young lady speaks English.

What are you doing here?

I'm sorry ma'am
but our visit is very important.

I have a few questions for you.

Please be brief.
I am very tired and want to go home.

Thank you.

Won't you sit down, Miss Foster?

Thank you.

Would you be so kind as to tell me
if there was a camera in your apartment?

Camera? But yes, sure, but it wasn't mine.

- Whose was it?
- I have no idea. I have many friends.

I found it in a desk drawer.

- And you left him there?
- For sure.

I suppose it does
the owner applies for it.

I understand.

How does this relate to Miss Foster?

Colonel.

You saw this morning
miss foster at madam's flat?

Yes. She was in the lounge.

- Alone?
- Alone.

Was she standing when you first saw her?

Right at the desk.

At the desk.

One last question, Colonel.

What exactly was Miss Foster doing
when you found her at the desk?

So what. She…

She was zipping up her purse.

- A purse.
- Yeah.

Possible?

Allow me, Colonel.

Hello? Yes.

Please tell him to wait.

Thank you.

He's asking about you below
a certain gentleman, Miss Foster.

That will be Mr. Thurston.

Excuse me for a moment

at the reception desk maybe
they will require instructions.

Colonel von Alven will take care of you.

Gottlieb?

Hello, Kansas.

Away.

Tribute to America.

Where is Thurston?

I don't know, doctor, it was empty.

But, doctor, all the time
we were here, not even for a moment…

Such incompetence.

Are you Pierre?
Yes, mademoiselle. Where is Thurston?

- Towards.
- Get in quickly.

- Step on it, Pierre.
- We are going! Long live sport!

- Thanks, old man.
- It's a pleasure for the boss.

- Good luck.
- Goodbye.

Trust me, we have a friendly agreement.

- What now?
- Now we're both going to bury ourselves.

Feel like climbing? Do you know where we are?

- Kasbah.
- Right.

Cradle of vice, den of criminals,

the hideout of every thief and murderer in Algiers.

Life here is as safe as in London.

- No police.
- And no Dr. Müller.

Germans respect the truth
as well as the police.

I guess that suits them.

- Tired?
- A little.

Rest for a moment.

I apologize for my behavior this morning.

You behaved wonderfully.

I should apologize
that I got you into it.

You don't have to.

I said I should.

But I won't do it.

Me neither.

We should go.

Good.

Its not far.

- Well, I had something to tell you.
- What?

It's just a room, one room.

There is only one bed.

There is an armchair.

And… I forgot to tell you.

An old English custom.

- There's a screen.
- Not yet.

Isolationist.

Look, ma'am. Screen…

and a bed.

I thought you would never come again.

- You've been gone so long.
- Yes.

I came to warn you
mon cheri, there was a seizure in the cafe.

They arrested madam. You can never come there again.

I know, but thanks anyway.

You must stay here in the kasbah
where they will never find you.

Will you let me stay too?

Please, I will go shopping
run errands, I'll take care of you.

No, Yvette. I'm grateful to you
for everything you've done but…

I have a visitor.

Be a good girl and obey orders.

Rule, Britain! Britain rules the waves.

The British will never, never be slaves.

To disrupt your plans was
the last thing I wanted to do.

- I am sorry.
- It's not worth talking about.

I think you like this bed
it will feel quite comfortable.

Don't mess with me.
I'll be fine here.

- I didn't even think of taking the bed.
- However, you will marry her.

Will you instruct me?

- If you want to call it that.
- Don't waste your breath.

I intend to stay where I am.

ROMMEL ATTACKS EL ALAMEIN
CAIRO STILL IN DANGER

Where is Thurston?

As you can see, he is not here.

Does that mean you let him go?

He didn't ask my permission. I slept.

You could for him
prepare coffee when he returns.

- I'll take care of it, thank you.
- He likes mine.

Good.

And yet you let him go.

You know the police are watching
all entrances to the kasbah?

He's watching over them because of Thurston.

If he was my man, I would hide
clothes and tied him to the bed.

He is able to take care of himself.

What if he doesn't come back, what if they catch him?

I swear I'll call the police on you, I…

You love him, don't you?

I lied about him yesterday in the cafe.

Seriously?

I'm sorry. None of this was true.

It's alright. Forget about it.

You don't understand, mademoiselle.

I have no chance.

I never had her
even if I met him in Paris.

But I wouldn't like it so much there.

- Were you happy there?
- I think everyone was happy in Paris.

I was there like you.

When the Germans came, I was scared.

A man brought me here.
He left me here, penniless.

I know it isn't
easy to live in Algiers without money.

Mr. Thurston is different.

He doesn't want anything from me, but he lets me help.

If I can help a brave soldier
to go back and fight the Germans,

then I'm important, n'est-ce pas?

That's for sure.

When France is France again, I will be back.

Do you see this?

Just like the real one in Paris.

Thurston gave it to me.
He said, “For luck, Yvette.

You'll take it away one day
back to my beloved France

to the tree in the Rue Godefroy.'

A tree? What tree?

You would laugh at me.

Don't laugh, Yvette.

There is one tree on Rue Godefroy.

As a child I carved my initials into it,

but then the gendarmes came and chased me away.

I want to see if it's still standing there.

I don't know why but I want to see
if it's still standing there.

Thurston promised that maybe one day.

You love him very much, don't you?

Love mademoiselle,
it's for you, not me.

But he's not into me
in love and neither am I with him.

Mademoiselle, what's up?
When it comes to love, you fool men.

You can fool yourself
but not another woman.

Good morning.

- What is a truce?
- You really are crazy.

Where have you been? You know,
that the police are looking for you everywhere?

Don't worry baby girl.
Good morning, Kansas. Did you sleep well.

Wonderful, thank you. And you?

I won't go into that.

Butter, coffee, cheese, bananas,
we could handle the siege.

- I do not. Look at me.
- You look good.

I can't just have pajamas and an evening dress.

- Can I get you something?
- Yes please.

Here you go.

Allé, allé, allé.

Dear girl.

We both happened to be worried about you.

- Why did you leave?
- I had to.

I wanted to buy solutions
to develop that film.

If you give me that camera.
Or are you still mad at me?

No, I'm not mad at you.

Good. So let's get down to it.

He came out great. Come take a look.

Look, here it is.

It's just an ordinary map.
There is nothing unusual about her.

- See that dot?
- It looks like a fly.

It's a house. Lonely house
on a desolate strip of coast.

Why on earth would it
should Müller have been interested in him?

I'm just as lost as you are.

So wait. I recognize that stretch of coast.

Yes, it's him. Hazard promontory.

We are at the Hazard promontory.

Come take a look.

An ideal beach to disembark,
unless the surf is too high.

- How close can you get us?
- About 400 or 500 meters.

I see the house.
We better report this to General Clark.

A lonely house somewhere near the Hazard promontory.

A house full of secrets and depressing silence,

yet with a hint of anticipation.

The plans were complete.

A band of brave men,
General Mark Clark and his men,

British and American,
a few faithful Frenchmen,

all risked their lives,
to get to the one-hour meeting,

for the hour during which they plan
the great invasion of North Africa.

The light is here on the sea
see 30 kilometers away.

Yeah.

Monsieur, it is a great responsibility,
because Germans are everywhere.

- They're looking.
- Yeah.

They search so desperately
that they miss what is right under their noses.

Come on, don't worry.

Concerns monsieur? I'm not afraid of the Germans.

For the lives of your brave soldiers
and the faithful officers of France,

I'm worried about you.

Those guys aren't afraid of it.

Not even a sign of life.
Are you sure we are correct?

Yes, it's that house. Up there on the cliff.

You can see the path that leads to it.

Something had to happen.
They are four minutes late.

Light it up. On my responsibility.

Oui, Monsieur.

I have no other thoughts
cause I know if I light it up

the fire will burn
who will drive the enemy out of Africa,

the fire that will travel through the water

and across the European continent
right into the heart of Berlin.

There is!

- Hold him so he can see, Arthur.
- Okay, Captain. Here we go.

- Can we disembark, Captain?
- We'll make it.

And so they finished the first part
brave action,

doing that was Müller
determined to defeat,

at any cost.

- Boss, quick, they're out.
- Müller.

- You must leave quickly.
- No chance.

Get out, Yvette.
Don't fight, run while you can.

Come in.

- Good evening, doctor.
- Good evening.

- I was expecting you this time.
- Okay.

- Is the American lady expecting me too?
- She left some time ago.

Don't ask me where she went.
I don't like telling lies.

I have no doubts about it.

But I'm sure he'll be back.

Why are you so sure?

A lady never travels without her purse.

I do not know. Maybe he travels light.

Come on, Mr. Thurston.
You certainly have more to offer.

It would be too much to ask
where does the door lead.

This is my bathroom.
We have modern equipment here.

- Would you like to see it?
- I would be grateful if you would open for me.

With pleasure.

You can take that hand out of your pocket.
There will be no need to shoot anyone.

But that's disappointing.

Do you think we can sit down?
I would like to talk to you.

Certainly.

From a diplomatic point of view
this is very unusual.

I totally agree with that.

We are enemies, Mr. Thurston,

we are campaigning against each other in the country
which is friendly to both of us.

Well, I'd say it is
a little friendlier to me.

Of course, if you want to
violate international law,

- but we'd overlook that too if…
- If?

If you would provide me with
one important piece of information.

In my position I can insist, you know?

- Okay, what's the point?
- We assume…

that American and British soldiers

they are on board right now
enemy submarines just off the coast.

Your stolen camera
he will surely give me all the information.

I want that camera.

A bit tricky. Apparently I have a choice
between your country and your head.

My friend, with your country
it has nothing to do with it.

This matter concerns America.

I understand. In that case
it's about something else entirely.

If I give you that camera,
will you consider this conversation closed?

More than that.
I will forget that I ever saw you.

Good. It applies.

You are the first sensible Englishman,
whom I have ever met.

I think you'll hit out.

I expected that.

Too much anxiety is a mistake, Mr. Thurstone.

- Something is wrong?
- Very bad.

Please sit down.

Where is the movie.

Film? Well, I burned him.

That was very foolish of you, wasn't it?

It would be even more foolish to
if I let him hang around here.

So we have to search your memory, right?
What was in that movie?

I forgot it.

I ask you to remember.

Please, Mr. Thurston, try
remember before I count to ten.

I dare say it makes no sense.
If you shoot me, you won't know.

If I don't figure it out soon,
this information will be of no use to me anyway.

One.

Why don't you ask the guy who took the picture?

Surely you remember that yours
Murray's late friend shot him. Two.

Come on, Mr. Thurston.
What was in that movie?

- A map, right?
- That's right, map.

- Map of what?
- I'm not very good at geography.

Three.

You don't think so with that thing
Are you taking any risks here?

I have a lot of friends around, you know.

Four.

Five.

You are halfway to death.

Where there is life, there is hope.

A typically silly English proverb. Six.

I remember one that you
maybe it won't seem so stupid.

Seven.

Something about an angel above us
who brings destruction to evil beneath him.

Eight.

Nine.

Your last chance, Thurston.

Good job, Kansas.
Come on, let's get out of here.

Wait, you need a coat.

Cute, right? Here you go, handsome.

- What now?
- We'll risk it.

If he goes back to the car,
maybe we can slip through.

Come on.

It's after him.

Yvette!

- He won't trouble you anymore.
- Good job, Yvette.

It's from that Nemčoura on a motorcycle.

We'll read it later. We have to get out of here.

- We will drive Müller's car. Lets go.
- No, I'm not going.

- Do you realize you killed someone?
- Only Nemčoura.

How can they suspect me? They don't even know me.

You're crazy.

No, I want to stay here, I will stay here.

I want to go back to the cafe.
I'll be safe there.

Now go, quickly.

Okay, Yvette.

Goodbye.

Thank you for everything.

It's not goodbye, Yvette.

We will meet again one day. In Paris.

Au revoir.

Here you have a flashlight.
Try reading that map.

My German is not very good.

What does verdächtige? Mean.

- Verdächtige.
- Ah, verdächtige, suspicious.

Something about “suspicious activity
on Hazard promontory. The police are investigating.”

That's the lonely house. Good.

So let's look at it. Is something behind us?

- Nothing.
- Okay.

- Where do we go?
- To a lonely house.

The main goals are
Casablanca, Oran, Algiers.

They will not be conquered
the easiest, general.

But they are strategically the most important.

And politically.

So we agree that default landing

will it be at the points marked here?

- We agree.
- Thank you, gentlemen.

Mr doctor.

What's happening? Did you not get my message?

- What right?
- The messenger tried to hand her over to Schultz.

Schultz is dead.

- Dead? But who is…
- It does not matter.

- What was that message?
- From the police.

Lights on the coast
at Hazard promontory. The police are investigating.

POLICE? Fools, into one.
Get me some fast car.

- And your car?
- Thurston took him, you fool.

Yes, but where, doctor?

To the promontory, after all. Get me that car.

GERMAN OFFICER OTTO SCULTZ FOUND

DEAD ON THE STAIRS IN THE KASBA

ALL ROUTES FROM ALGIERS WILL BE CLOSED

If this feat succeeds,

it will be with minimal loss
on the lives of our units and yours.

God guide us.

I firmly believe that events
will show that this meeting

was one of the historical moments of the world.

We're thankful it didn't happen
nothing to prevent it

and we pray for your safe return.

Our project depends on it.

Gentlemen, let's drink to that.

- How can I help you?
- Are you a home owner?

No, he's inside with the guests.

We have an announcement that
operates an illegal activity here.

I have orders to search all the houses in the area.

Mr. Brissay certainly won't mind.
Will you move on?

You probably want to know who I am.

Yes, monsieur, please.

After all, I am a foreigner and with foreigners
you can never be sure.

Thank you, monsieur.

What part of the house
want to see first?

- Rooms downstairs, please.
- Allright then. Will you follow me

…if he wants to go somewhere!

But not! J'attendrai…

Another visit.

Meeting after years. We are friends from Paris.

I hope you don't mind me showing it to the commissioner.

Not at all. He is welcome.

Have a drink with us.

No, thanks. This is an official visit.
I'm not allowed a drop.

- Let's go to the next room.
- The kitchen, for sure. Lets go.

Law! Long live its defenders!

Law! Long live the law!

- Where does it lead?
- To the conservatory.

I'll check it out there.

- I'm guessing they'll be here soon?
- We are also prepared for that possibility.

Sounds like another car.

POLICE.

Thank you, monsieur.
I'm sorry to bother you.

It's alright. Good night.

- We're going inside.
- How?

As decent citizens. Through the front door.

- Sorry for the disturbance.
- Please, what do you want?

Can we come in We need to talk
with you or whoever is in charge here.

It is very late and…

Let him enter. I'll handle this.

Enter.

Your accent is familiar to me, young lady.
Midwest, right?

- And you're from New York?
- Washington.

I am Susan Ann Foster
and this is Captain Thurston.

Ok, sir.

We don't know what it's about
and it's none of our business

but I feel it is important.

We cannot allow the Germans
to foil the plans.

To the Germans?

This was sent by a German
Armistice Commission to Dr. Müller.

- Where did you get it?
- He pinched, just like Müller's car.

- I understand. Does Müller know about this?
- If he has already woken up, then yes.

Good job son.
Looks like you're having a busy evening.

If the police issue a correct statement,
it will be fine. If not…

Excuse me, monsieur, but ours
guests are ready to leave.

Susan!

I thought you were in jail!

My general has a bad habit of forgetting orders,

especially the German ones.

I saw American uniforms inside.

I do not know.
All uniforms look the same.

Yes of course.

Open it! POLICE.

Quick, get in. You two wait here.

Leave it to me.

Come in.

Monsieur. A group of German officers
it's at my headquarters.

They want to search the area themselves.

Are you implying that they are likely to come here?

Yes, monsieur, to every house in the neighborhood.

They will thoroughly search everything.
They might even search the basement.

Monsieur? Mademoiselle?

Wait.

- Who leads the group?
- Doctor Müller.

Müller.

You have his car, don't you?

- Let's play hide and seek.
- You have to occupy them for an hour.

- It's a toy.
- Amazing.

I don't want you to risk
but it is very important.

- We are proud to help.
- You stay away, young lady.

- Come on, we have to go.
- Listen…

You're just wasting your time, he's from Kansas.

Hold back.

If you survive it healthy,
head over the hills to the field.

You can find it easily. A few hundred meters away
there is a mosque. Clearly?

Clearly.

We'll find a way to get you out of there.

Thanks. We will be there.

That's our signal. Bye, sir.

Keep your eyes peeled.

Tell me once they're around the corner.

Now.

This is my car! Overtake them.

They are getting closer. Step on it.

Catch them up! At any cost!

Faster!

I'll slow down around the next bend.
You have to jump.

- Why?
- Because I'm going to make an accident.

Fast.

I'm sorry, mademoiselle.

A little longer. It will come, I know it.
He promised it.

We've waited long enough.
We can be here forever.

- I won't leave without him.
- Mademoiselle, I have my orders.

It's nice to think we helped.

I wish he could share it with me.

I am sorry.

There is a certain gentleman here and he asks
after someone he calls Kansas.

Hello, Kansas.

Hello.

Can you hear that? American anthem.
Don't you feel proud?

It's like the end of a movie.

You take my face in your hands

and you will be the nose
inches away from my nose.

The camera zooms in.

And we kiss to the tune
anthem of the "United Kingdom."
