Original subtitles

We're getting deep. Do you think we should turn back, Lieutenant?

And report what?

That we found one crowd patrol?

We're here to locate that muscle.

Let's head north.

Lieutenant! Lieutenant!

Don't be afraid.

I'm American.

If you're not afraid, I won't hurt you.

My friend is seriously injured. I need your charrette.

Are you going to help us or not?

Yes. I'm from the Resistance.

I'll help you.

I'll take you home.

Hurry up.

This man is from the resistance. He's a Frenchman. He's going to take us to his

place. We'll be safe there.

Hang on.

Easy.

He stripped us.

He's taking us right to the Germans.

Combat!

Starring Rick Jason and

Vic Morrow.

Guest star, Louise Reiner.

He says he does live here. He works here. He says the Germans come around to

drink the Count's wine.

Where are we?

He says there's some Chateau of Armady, Count de Rois

or something owns it.

Ah,

Major Werner. I was not expecting you today.

I have a request of you, Count de Roi.

We're talking English.

This English is the only language the German officer and the Count have in

common. Let's go.

My dear.

Countess?

Major Werner.

As requested, we allow him and his men to use part of Chateau Armady, my dear.

It shall be more pleasant if we have your permission, Countess.

Doubtless, you and your men will be most comfortable here.

Armady will survive, whatever use they put it to.

It will be here long after the wars are over.

Long after all of us are gone.

Even as it was here long before any of us arrived.

I promise the Countess my solemn word that we shall treat the Chateau and its

inhabitants with the due respect.

Merci.

Of course, you and your staff will take dinner with us, huh? We shall be

honored, Count. It's always a privilege to dine at Armadie.

Captain Schaefer, bring my things, will you please? And Captain Roswell, tell

the men to start unloading.

Don't worry.

Don't worry, Lieutenant. Don't worry.

I'll get you out of here.

That's a nice thought.

I'll get you a doctor.

How? Don't.

Scare a doctor out of the village?

There's no doctor in the village, but the Countess studied nursing. She'll

help you.

I'm sure she can.

She had a crowdhouse kiss.

He says he worked for the Countess for 17 years, Lieutenant. He trusts her.

She was a nurse and a doctor for everybody in the village since the

beginning of the war.

Countess?

I'm glad it passes your

inspection.

One drink a man acts like a monkey.

Two drinks he struts like a peacock.

Three, he roars like a lion, and four, he behaves like a pig.

Excuse me, please, gentlemen.

It's just a small matter, a household matter.

I'll be right back.

May I be of assistance, Countess?

No, thank you, Major.

You enjoy your cognac.

Major, did you know that the tapestry behind me dates back to the 14th

century?

It was woven by Bataille in Paris.

Must be very valuable.

That doesn't look nice.

I told you to get me out of here, Cage.

Lie quietly.

You want to be to death, do you?

The Germans are here because we are an occupied country.

We have been occupied for two and a half years now.

You suffer well, in great style.

You're insolent.

I shall bandage you, and then you will leave as fast as you can.

How did you come here?

Your man told us we could trust him. He's from the resistance.

Oh, Claude.

Oui, madame la comtesse.

You don't seem very happy about it, countess.

Look, I shall do what I can for you.

And you go away.

This wing is full of drums.

We have to get you out of here.

They hear you if you cry out.

Cry out?

The bullet has to come out.

These are my private chambers. We are safe here.

Claude, the antiseptic, the bandage, and my pencil.

We will.

Judge, where is he going?

I told him to get my bandages.

Don't be suspicious. I want you well so you can go.

This particular champagne yielded an excellent cognac.

It is a shame it's so scarce.

For bouquet and body, none can compare.

Lieutenant, you've had enough now.

Excuse yourself and retire.

But, Herr Major.

I said retire.

Is he mine, Herr Major?

With your permission, sir.

Certainly.

You asked about the silverware, Captain Roosevelt.

It is Lamerie.

As you are undoubtedly aware, it represents the supreme accomplishment of

the silversmith's art.

Where did a countess learn about nursing?

In a hospital.

I was a nurse before I was married.

We also were two years in a war, if you remember.

How long ago was that?

When I was married?

You want to find out my age, huh?

I met my husband at the hospital. He was a patient there.

So he married his nurse, huh?

Yes, he did.

He made her very happy for 20 years now.

For which the Countess is very grateful.

Deeply.

It's out.

It's out.

Cognac. Nearly, surely, you're Cognac.

Your tenant.

You happen to be in my quarters.

Your quarters? Yes.

I am so sorry, Countess.

I'm so sorry.

It is a mistake. I'm lost.

I cannot find my room.

Go back the way you came.

You're on the north wing. You're looking for the south.

Good night, Lieutenant.

You must

go.

I get bandages and you must go. You said we were safe here. You're not safe.

They're drawing officers all over the hall, officers all over the place.

If they find that you're here, if they find that I'm helping you, they're going

to put a torch to Armandy. This place will be burned down to the ground, gone

forever. Vanish me, Cage. Get me out of here.

I'm not frightened for myself.

Oh, you're frightened for the grand old Chateau, the family jewels.

Yes, yes, yes.

These things mean so much to you.

Not to me, but to my husband.

He was born here.

He wants to die here.

He has dead every member of his family before him.

Our husband does not live with us in the presence.

He does not see the German as an enemy. He sees him as a man at arms, but as a

guest at this chateau.

Without Chateau Almady, our husband would die.

Without short of a medic tonight, he will die.

Stay for the night.

Setting up some wire.

Lots of it.

Lieutenant,

they're setting up the shuttle as a communication center for the 9th Panzer

Division.

It's going to service the whole sector.

I don't have to work in ready.

Gage, everything we came here to find out, the Krauts' strength and muscle,

disposition of their troops, armor divisions, it's all down there.

The German commander, has he set up an office?

Yes.

Yes, downstairs, yes. Why?

Where?

Downstairs in my husband's office, directly below.

Have they put up maps?

I don't know. The doors are closed.

You must go now.

Gage, ask Claude if he can get into the office.

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You can't do that. They would discover him.

They would shoot him.

Are the sentries?

They're free.

You can't ask Claude to do that.

They would suspect him immediately.

They wouldn't suspect you, Connors.

You can come go as you please.

You can do it.

I have to refuse.

There are limits.

Are there?

A man ordered to attack.

We're so tired, they're dropping in the tracks.

The doctors will operate all night.

Keep on operating while the hospitals are burning down around them.

They're your resistance fighters who are chased into the hills and live on bugs.

What do you want me to do?

Here, Ryan.

Countess.

I was expecting Lieutenant Schaefer.

Oh, I can come back.

No, please, Countess.

I'm at your service.

Is there something I can do for you?

Yes, sir.

The boots and equipment of your men are terrible and are beautiful perky floors.

I'm sorry. I'll have Captain Roswell take care of it immediately.

Thank you.

Was there something else, Countess?

How about a glass of sherry?

I have been thinking of you.

The day was so quiet in the park.

The trees were so beautiful.

And the air so mild.

No, no sound from distant guns.

Suddenly it felt as though there was no war.

No enemy.

That's when I thought of you.

I thought of that beautiful poem by Goethe that you quoted last night.

Oh, yes.

That is why I brought you this book from our library.

Poems by Goethe.

A very kind cut.

Well, this isn't... This isn't Goethe.

It's a handbook for British economics.

How stupid of me. Do you know what it is?

It has exactly the same binding as our goods.

I'll go and get it. Oh, please, Countess, let me get it.

It's in the library, behind my husband's desk.

All our poetry books are there.

You'll wait, won't you?

I'll get you what you want. Now, please go. Please go.

Isn't that what we need, Lieutenant?

There are alternate plans. Plan A, Plan B, Plan C.

Troop movements.

They're all over the place.

Why? Is it worthless or what?

It could be priceless if we only knew which plan we're going to use. Plan...

in their phone line, maybe we could find out.

Can you get the equipment?

Just a moment,

Lieutenant. Who's going to translate?

Doesn't he speak German?

No.

What now, Lieutenant?

We tap the line.

What is going on?

The men are moving the furniture.

That chair belongs in the salon.

And that lamp, it is from Chanson.

Why are you moving everything?

I have just sent Captain Roosevelt to inform you.

Word arrives that General Cruella and the staff are on their way here.

The men are setting up the appropriate quarters.

General Cruella?

Mm-hmm.

I hear he has the most wonderful collection of limery silver outside of

France.

I look forward to meet him.

What are you doing here, Claude?

Oh, uh, the... the volume just dropped.

We have to arrange it immediately.

Yes, sir.

I just heard that General Cruella and his stuff are on their way. What are you

going to do now?

What is Claude doing there?

We're tapping in the German phone line.

We'll be discovered.

We'll all be discovered.

You are outrageous.

I told you I could not do anything more for you.

And you behave, you go on as though you could change my mind.

Your mind was made up when Claude came and told you that an American soldier

needed your help and you didn't tell the Germans.

A wounded soldier is one thing.

Spying is another.

I told you I would not ruin my husband's world.

What world?

Your husband's a sick old man.

Who's that?

Major, we're only talking to someone.

General Kruger.

Kruger's making his headquarters here, he says.

We know that.

Supply requisition is approved for issue.

Rations remain standard.

Evacuation policy for the wounded, standard.

All unit commanders will execute plan A.

I don't doubt it.

Are you sure?

Are you sure they said plan A? Yes.

When are you going to leave?

Paige, let's see if Coy can get information to our intelligence center

underground. Right.

Oui. He says he can.

Lieutenant, when are you going to leave?

When Claude comes back again.

Transcribe the information to the map.

Plan A.

All right, sir.

Lieutenant, why do we have to wait for an answer?

I want to find out what the big brass is going to do when they find out the

General Kroger is using this Chateau Amadi for his headquarters.

And they decide to blow it off the face of the map.

You've seen so much brass.

Welcome to Chateau Armady, General Creleur. Thank you, Compteur Roy.

I have heard accounts of your Lamerie silver collection, General.

You must see mine while you're visiting.

I am interested to know how they'll compare.

As the Countess knows, the General is here.

Oh, I don't think so, or else you would be here.

If you will excuse me, I shall announce your arrival.

The Major will show you to your room. Thank you.

Countess, we'll get out of this somehow.

How can you possibly escape with so many officers and men about?

There's a good chance we'll all have to escape from here.

Lorraine. Cherie.

The general is here.

Come in.

Who are these men?

The Americans.

Speak English.

Americans?

What are they doing here?

Claude brought them in last night.

The lieutenant was wounded.

Claude belongs to the resistance.

The Countess saved our lives.

Why was I not informed about this, my dear?

There are Germans in the house.

We cannot have Americans here as well.

After all, the war still is going on, isn't it?

Yes, it is.

I did not want to tell you because I did not want to concern you.

That's all right, my dear.

Do not blame yourself too much.

But this gentleman must have to leave immediately.

I regret to have to ask that of you, but I am sure you will understand.

Now, my dear, you must come down and greet General Granger. He has arrived.

Oh, George, please.

George.

George!

Don't you see what this is doing to him?

I'm sorry, but he can't leave here.

But you'd say nothing if I tell him not to.

Those men downstairs, to him they're neither friend nor foe. They're just

guests in his house.

General Cruella only means something to him because he has the greatest server

collection in the world.

He also commands one of the most powerful panzer divisions in the German

army.

Hermione shall not become a battlefield.

Hermione has stood through the centuries.

As a symbol of a world that men are now trying to destroy.

A world of elegance and peace.

A world of culture that gives man his only lasting consequence.

Oh, no.

Armadillo, what it stands for, must last forever.

Forever. Forever.

It will.

It will, George.

George, George, it will.

Darling.

Come. Come with me.

I've discovered something wonderful this morning.

A completely new tapestry, and I've no idea where it goes. Come with me. Come.

Come. You must tell me.

And I want you to see, because I simply don't know. Should we put it into the

Great Hall, or should we put it into the East Salon? Come over and sit down here,

and I'll bring it.

Isn't it beautiful?

You were right, my dear.

It is exquisite.

Without a doubt, it should have hung in the great hall.

I knew you would know. I knew it.

George,

I have to ask you a favor.

About the Americans.

George.

The Germans must not know that they are here, no matter what they are asking, no

matter which direction the conversation goes. The Germans must never know that

the Americans are here.

Do you understand that, George?

Do you understand that?

Yes, yes, but why don't they leave?

They will soon.

Please trust me and do what I say.

I try everything to hold things for us together.

my dear.

Sometimes I realize just how much you have.

Did he get his message off?

He also has a message for you, too.

We'll

need

transportation.

Ask him if he can get a car.

What are all these

arrangements?

Never mind. Call him, will you?

What do I do?

Art, what is going on?

At 2100 hours.

That's nine o'clock.

Our artillery is going to shell the Chateau Amity.

Because it's at German generals' headquarters.

I had to send that report in.

I wish I'd let you die.

The detail is incredibly fine.

They found the wire.

This is contemptible, that you dare to search these rooms. It's an insult to

the Countess and to me. Silence.

Your illusion of aesthetic neutrality in this house is over.

Someone here has monitored German telephone communications.

We intend to find out who.

You think I am your spy?

I think your servant, this Claude, might be the spy.

Of course, I don't suppose you know where he is.

No.

I do not know where he is.

Do not leave this house.

Either of you.

Understand? Come with me.

I got less than five minutes to get out of here. Let's go.

Where are you going?

Lieutenant, I haven't told him yet. We don't have time to talk now.

Tell me what, Lorraine?

George, we have to leave.

Armody.

Leave Armody?

Never.

Never.

In a few minutes, Armody will be shared.

Hurry, got less than four and a half minutes.

Let's go. Cage, take him.

Eddie.

Good. Bring the alien down.

Cool.

It's Claude.

We found him.

Come back to the course.

Who? Gage. Yeah. We move out in twos.

Lügen Sie nicht. Sie sprechen doch Deutsch.

No. Wo haben Sie ihn gerade gesehen?

No. Wo haben Sie ihn gerade gesehen?

Is that considered proper behavior for German officers, General?

Major Werner believes that this man is a member of the French underground.

Claude?

I am your spy.

Claude, bring this to Madame the Countess. Now!

For the countess.

Since it appears I will be detained.

Do I understand you correctly, count? You are a member of the French

underground?

I am.

I could not let my servant, an innocent man, be executed for something I did

myself.

Noblesse oblige.

Gentlemen, allow me to be host in my own home for the last time.

We can at least be civilized.

By all means, let us be civilized.

To Armady.

To Armady.

I'm not.

I'm proud.

What my husband told me fills me with fierce pride.

When the world remembers, it will remember my

husband.

And how many...
