Berlin today...

The wall continues to divide the city.

A fragile barrier separates the fuse from a charge that could destroy the world.

There are forces that care about neither charge nor fuse, but who want that destruction.

And there are brave men who oppose these forces

Hence the wall; a new battlefield for international intrigue and espionage...

And creating a new Babel of differing languages.

Where problems have inelegant and, sometimes, violent solutions.

Inelegant solutions, sure... but also elegant diversions too!

... including the French Riviera!

Such was the opinion of the most active French Secret Service agent...

Julien Saint-Dominique.

Yes, I got it.

Youre wonderful. A dream of a mate. The ideal woman.

How sad that we must part! But one has to earn a living.

Are you going to leave me again?

Yes, but not for long

Hi, Stella. Come back soon.

I hope.

I swear I shall.

Hey, Felix!

Saint Dominique!

I never was so pleased to see your ugly face!

Come on down. Go.

Well? How are you?

I thought youd never come.

Im afraid I walked right into the tigers mouth this time.

Go on, and aim carefully.

Ok, Albert.

I never saw you in such a state. Are you not satisfied?

No. I feel like Im in a vice...

... and you're my only worthy heir!

I was discovered about a fortnight ago, in Berlin.

Since then, they didnt let me out of their sight for one moment.

But who are "they"?

I dont know, but I can feel them everywhere, around me.

I know far too many things. Im screwed.

Are you ready?

Now!

Perfect!

No, Colonel, we cant identify the killer.

His papers are fake. Of course!

Ill be in Paris tomorrow morning.

The body wasnt found, although I dived immediately.

But the water is muddy in that spot.

Even the scuba-divers couldnt find him.

Why did he call you?

What did he want?

He unfortunately didnt have the time to tell me.

The reason must be looked for in Berlin.

- You were very good friends? - Yes.

Is it possible that you can't imagine who has been interested to kill him?

No but he was beside himself... always under control.

I really cant imagine the Russians offing him.

He worked for twenty years for the Western services,

so he must have hindered a lot a people.

In Berlin, Flix was seeing Reichau regularly.

Yes, but thats probably irrelevant to his death.

He sent us a message. He needs you in Berlin.

So we must hope that Reichau will be able to tip us.

He was very useful to us several times already.

His job for the Berlin city council

puts him in contact with the occupying armies.

Hell be waiting for you tomorrow at the airport.

Ah, Im happy to see you again, Reichau.

Its been quite a long time, hasnt it?

- Yes it has. How are you? - Fine. How are you?

Fine.

That man... Help!

Polizei! Polizei, see that car? They kidnapped a man!

No, no, no, dont look at me like that!

Your eyes are ravishing! Have them say something, will you?

Now, thats it. Bravo.

You are perfect!

Hey, Saint-Dominique, how are you?

- Very well. How are you? - Me? Im a regular pasha.

Come on, little kittens! Ursula, Brigitte,

put your clothes back on. Thats enough for today.

- Come into my arms.

I knew you were supposed to come here.

Did you have a hard time finding me?

No. I just had to follow a pretty girl.

What can I say? Photography is my passion.

Art photography, I mean.

Thats the first thing I noticed when I came in.

What have you been doing since we last met?

Not much. I was appointed teacher to a few young guys

who wished to join our beautiful profession.

I can think of more exciting things, of course.

And what did you teach those innocents?

The rudiments of the trade

How to put a tail on a bloke. How to watch him.

Without ever yielding to distraction.

Things have changed a lot since you left Berlin.

Our network was badly hurt.

Do you mean Reichau?

Hes our best informer, and lo! they kidnap him!

Felix wants to give you important information, and hes killed.

And in the last 48 hours,

our friends from the American services have got more and more excited.

No doubt Berlin in on the verge of a new crisis.

- And, as usual, they rely on us? - Of course, thats why you were called.

The trouble is that now

we cant depend on either the Americans or the British.

Well do without them.

Tell me, I havent set foot in Berlin for months.

Where can I find you if I need you?

Always the same flat on Franzstrasse.

Franzstrasse.

No! Leave me alone!

You have peculiar acquaintances, miss.

Oh, but I dont know those people.

Wed better go before they wake up.

OK. Let me introduce myself: Julien Saint-Dominique.

Miss Olivia. Shall we leave the ring?

If I had not been here,nobody would have come to your rescue.

Berliners never meddle in what doesnt concern them.

So you really dont know what these blokes wanted?

To know me better, probably.

Im American and, to Russians in Berlin,

all Americans are suspicious.

I think they were Russians. I thank you for saving me.

And what are you doing in Berlin?

Youll learn that in a while.

Give me a cigarette.

And what were you doing in that street?

- I was looking for you. - What did you want of me?

Say, may I know where youre taking me?

Of course.

Youve got an appointment with an agent of the American Secret Services.

- Me? - Yes,you

Oh? Fine.

- Saint Dominique!

- Steve. - At last.

- I was beginning to worry. - Now I understand the staging.

Yes, I was dying to see you.

Lets take a seat.

What do you want to drink?

Scotch for me.

Youre not going to tell me

that the CIA is now forced to hire guys like you, are you?

It would mean that the American Secret Services

lack intuition. Wouldnt it?

- Shes the special agent. - Compliments.

To me or to Washington?

Special agent? May we know what your specialty is?

Ill tell you.

Olivia is, so to speak, an electronic brain

sent by Washington to solve an exceedingly serious problem.

Strange. It must be fun to court an electronic brain.

Dont bother. Im in charge of Olivias protection.

Well, in that case, I guess Id better leave, dont you think?

My respects.

Oh, Olivia, before I leave

Id like to know what was your purpose

in arranging this little meeting.

Just so your natural curiosity

does not bring you to investigate problems that do not concern you.

Thank you.

Help! Leave me alone!

Again!?

It's a vice!

- Leave me alone!

Be careful!

Let's go!

Dont let them get away!

Courage!

Who are you and what were you doing in front of my home?

My name is Ingrid Reichau.

Youre Julien Saint-Dominique,

I saw you in a photograph, with my father.

He never came home last night.

Thats why I came to see you.

Its very sad for you.

My father told me to come to you if anything happened to him.

I fail to understand you.

My father is one of your agents. I know that much.

You must save him.

Im sorry, I cant do anything for your father.

My father told me a lot about one of your agents,

whos on the other side,

and whom he knew in a concentration camp.

Which one?

I cant remember that.

If I were you, Id talk to the Police.

I cant do anything for you.

And you dont know Flix either, do you?

His name probably doesnt ring any bell.

They killed him!

And my father will suffer the same fate.

Come on, miss, youll have to calm down.

Thats easy to say.

For you, a man is just a pawn on a chess board.

If ill befalls him, thats just too bad.

You dont know him anymore. Let him fend for himself.

I think youve got too much of an imagination.

My father dedicated his life to an ideal.

Youre just doing a job.

Where are you going?

Ingrid...

Im afraid. I beseech you: help me!

My father spoke of you as a true friend.

A friend on whom he could rely.

Your father can rely on me.

I dont know how to thank you.

Thanks to you, Ive got hope again.

- Still afraid? - Less so.

- What about now? - Less and less.

- Are you sure? - Yes.

She must be taken to a safe place at once.

I agree.

With somebody who can defend her at all times.

I'm perfectly okay.

But such a place is not found easily.

- Well, I think I found it. - You did? Where?

In a photo studio.

East Berlin radio claimed this morning

that a West Berlin government official defected to their side.

Ive got no doubt: it can only be Reichau.

What do you think?

No, Im sure they abducted him. His daughter is not involved.

Send me to East Berlin to investigate.

Maybe his abduction was staged.

- No. - Its not impossible.

Let me investigate the matter.

Shes pretty, isnt she?

If you fall into their hands, I wont be able to help you.

- I know. - Do what you want.

Chasing men is not nice. Its unseemly.

Its no wonder if you have a surprise afterwards.

- Dont worry about me.

- What are you doing? - Ciao.

Have you gone crazy? Let me up this minute!

Im warning you: this will cost you dearly.

Youll pay for this, do you hear?

I think this is exactly what youre looking for, Miss.

This Mozart sheet music seems to have been...

Please excuse me. Ill let you consider.

Sir, what do you want?

A friend of mine told me about a new recording.

Its a choral symphony composed by someone named... Mabillon.

Please follow me.

Frieda! Why dont you finish with the lady

while I attend to the gentlemans needs?

Mabillon! How are you?

You cant know how much Im glad to see you again.

They abducted Reichau.

Yes. Do you have any idea of where he might be?

I think I know. In a big house in the Parmastrasse.

A prisoner of the VoPo.

No, no, hes not a prisoner of the VoPo

but of a new service of the Secret Police.

Can we visit this house?

Yes, theres this gallery that goes under the canal

and leads to the big houses garden.

I own the papers and uniform of a VoPo commissioner, a man named Dorf.

Did he give them to you?

We didnt ask for his opinion, and he doesnt need them now.

Are you working for the Americans?

Im working for everybody.

Im working for the reunification of Germany.

Push the volume up!

Julien...

Sorry.

An unworthy welcome!

- He didn't want to sleep.

He asked for it. Serves him right for always being on my trail.

I replaced his picture with yours. The papers are valid.

Commissioner Dorf is expected at the house.

Youll be kind enough to convey my apologies to Steve, wont you?

- OK, you can rely on me. - Thank you.

Be careful.

Boss, Commissioner Dorf is here.

- Bring him here. - Ok.

Accompany him.

Welcome! I was expecting you yesterday, commissioner Dorf.

I was delayed. Some urgent matter.

And if I know you well, its outcome was satisfactory.

Correct, herr Doktor. Nothing can resist me.

Schnaps? Whisky? Vodka? Brandy?

As far as alcohol is concerned, I dont know any frontier.

Schnaps, bitte.

Please.

We have chosen you, Commissioner Dorf

because you have a reputation of being an exceptional man.

A man who understands that

we wont be able to engineer the triumph of our ideas in the world

as long as... as long as East and West havent annihilated each other.

I hope I shall live up to your trust.

During your stay among us, Dorf,

Ill inform you of our latest works.

Im very honoured.

Youll stay with us for as long as it takes.

A guard at the front door will point you to your bedroom.

Tomorrow, well be able to talk in peace.

See you tomorrow then, Dorf.

Well, commissioner, did you find anything interesting?

Yes, indeed, although I didnt see much.

I'll show you... something exceptional.

Did you ever hear about Professor Reichau?

Reichau is here?

The professor was far too much interested in us. Thats why he will die.

Id very much like you to see him before that.

I fail to see why this is necessary.

Maybe youll manage to learn more than we did.

Hes a difficult subject.

We can always try, cant we?

Well see what will his reactions be in front of you.

- Do you recognize him? - Thats him all right,

but he doesnt seem to be in any condition to talk.

Look whos here.

Open your eyes, professor Reichau.

- You have a visit. - Untie him.

Im commissioner Dorf, Reichau.

Julien... Julien Saint-Dominique.

The man is delirious.

Certainly...

Hes still under the influence of a mescaline shot.

He cant possibly lie. No will of his own.

He tells the truth.

Doesnt he... Julien Saint-Dominique?

Have you gone mad?

Reichau! Speak!

Ingrid... Yes, Ingrid. Save Ingrid.

On your feet! Im Dorf! Take me out of here.

- Commissioner Dorf, bitte! - The commissioner is with me.

Halt!

Great leaving, but I didn't say where we should go!

Currently you can only do one thing:

escape across the border!

Easy.

Take care

You must jump out the car while were driving.

Ill slalom a bit, in order to delay them as much as I can.

Are you ready?

Go! Good luck!

- What do you want? - I must go West. Please help me.

I dont know you. Go away or Ill call the Police.

- Reichau told me to come to you. - Come in.

Thank you. I wasnt followed.

- Can you see? - Yes.

Watch out.

Don't worry.

We are under the last guard post.

Follow me.

Youre arrived.

- Thank you. - Good luck.

Ingrid!

Ingrid!

Yes, Hello!

- Your friend Ingrid has moved. - What?

Shes now in Grunwald.

Who is this? Who is this?

Saint-Dominique,what a surprise!

To what do I owe the honour of your visit?

- Where is she? - Whom are you talking about?

Ingrid Reichau.

I dont have the faintest idea.

What makes you think shes at my place?

Ive got good reasons to believe it.

Youre mistaken, my dear. Shes not here.

I never met that person, but I can see youre really interested in her.

Since youre here,

grant me the pleasure of drinking a whisky with me.

Youve got a great imagination, Saint-Dominique,

but you didnt have to make that story up in order to visit Olivia.

And youre jealous to boot!

A pathetic character...

like in the comics.

Like an heroic idealist.

In any case, if you mind me being here, you can always leave.

- Steve!

And if you want an advice leave Berlin!

I drink to Don Quixotes departure.

Steve! We might all be forced to leave soon.

Oh? Why is that?

Please, allow me to be surprised, Saint-Dominique.

I know your services are somewhat disorganized,

but you should really know that the Russians

are preparing to invade West Berlin.

Through the sewers, I guess?

Bravo!

They plan to complete the strike in record time,

before the Westerners can even react.

Do you really believe it?

The Berlin sewer system seems to have been created for a surprise attack.

Such a strike cannot take place.

We just have to inform the Russians that we know of their plan

and they cant surprise anybody anymore.

They certainly wont cancel it.

They wont abandon their project

just because they know the allied services are informed.

And the slightest incident will allow them to execute their plan.

We have good reasons to distrust you.

All Im asking is that you leave Berlin.

Leave us alone, will you? Ive got something to tell Saint-Dominique.

Be nice and go.

Poor Steve. Hes jealous of you.

He must suffer agony when he thinks that he left us alone.

And of course you think this is funny.

Hell just drink a little more whisky.

He thinks that were kissing right now.

And hes wrong as usual. Poor Steve.

No, hes not wrong.

I left him with Olivia.

Oh, yes, I trust her: Im sure that he wont refuse.

Sure.

Were made to understand each other, Saint-Dominique.

I always thought as much.

Thats why Im offering you a partnership.

With you, its one surprise after another.

Yesterday, you were ordering me out of Berlin,

and today youre offering me a partnership.

Thats what I thought. For you, money doesnt matter.

Of course youve got an ideal: peace.

Do you think its out of fashion?

No, I think its utterly stupid.

What do you expect:

the gratitude of people who dont even know of your existence?

Of a pleasure seeking crowd, uncaring of world events?

So what kind of an ideal should I have? War?

Why not indeed?

Only war can bring you wealth.

It will not only bring you wealth but also glory.

And for this, all youll have to do is sometimes forget your scruples.

Im not interested in money, Olivia.

You dont know what youre missing if you refuse. Think again.

Its useless.

Were not interested in what youre thinking anyway.

Were only interested in you.

Im very flattered...

but Ill never work with the people who hired you.

Well talk about it again.

Dont take any pains. Threats have no effect on me.

Beware. Somebody whom you hold dear is risking her life because of you.

Dont touch Ingrid. What did you do with her?

Ingrid is going to die because of you.

- Ingrid!

- Julien.

Quick!

So, Ingrid too?

I really thought I could save her but I failed at the last moment.

In any case, Im now certain of something:

Olivia is a double agent.

- Will you alert the Americans? - Useless. With what arguments?

The only person who could prove it was Ingrid.

Therefore I doing?

I'll stay here with my arms folded?

No.

Ive just received orders from Paris: youre leaving tomorrow for Mexico.

For Mexico? Why? Do they want me out of the way?

On the contrary. Youve got to contact some Lord Kinsey

Hes an English agent, who supposedly was a close acquaintance of Flixs.

Why dont they send me to China while theyre at it?

We thought about as much.

But youll find the secret of Felixs death in Mexico.

Why? Is there a connection between Olivia and Felixs death?

And you still dont know the best part of it.

Olivia is the cause of your departure for Mexico.

Youre kidding me, right?

May I know how?

Shes got friends in high places, both in Washington and Paris.

Beating her wont be easy.

Does she enjoy such a great protection?

Yes.

Whos going to take care of her while Im travelling around?

Ill keep an eye on her myself. Dont worry.

Flix and Olivia...

Have a nice trip. Your Olivia.

- Mister Saint-Dominique? - Yes.

- Did you have a nice trip? - Excellent.

Lord Kinsey couldnt wait for the Berlin newspapers.

Well, shall we go?

Im dying to meet this Lord whos knows so well how to choose his secretaries.

- Thank you. - May I know how youre called?

Jill Garfield. Mr. Kinsey asked me to convey his excuses

he's sorry he didnt come to welcome you himself

but he still was in Acapulco this very morning.

Im to take you to his house.

With such a guide, I would walk across the whole of Mexico.

Ive got a car.

Our appointment is at 5 oclock, so we have time to drive around.

What? Already winded?

Lets say that all these wonders take my breath away.

Have you known Kinsey for a long time?

Two weeks.

He invited me to spend my holidays with him.

Im not his secretary.

Lets rather say: his lady companion.

- The Lord is really lucky.

- To Lord Kinsey, Im just a faade. - Why?

Is the opposite of a person like you.

Its time to go. Its going to rain soon.

The Lord lives like a regular nabob.

Please.

Im happy to meet you, mister Saint-Dominique.

Excuse me for not welcoming you at the airport.

Welcome to this house.

Our collaboration began on a very promising note.

I hope youll go on liking it here.

Please, take a seat.

The English and the French have always been allied.

Well, since Napoleon died anyway.

Im mentioning this because one of my ancestors

was leading the English armys right flank in Waterloo.

Ive got to make amends.

May I offer you something?

What did you do?

I thought preferable to shoot first.

I didnt want to suffer the misadventure of my ancestor Grouchy in Waterloo.

Get out of here, now! Quick, quick, hurry-up!

Give it up! Youre a dead man!

Senorita Olivia! I was waiting for you.

Beautiful as always.

Would you sit at the bar for a moment?

Yes.

Please.

Have you seen? He was perfect.

You would have thought he was the real Kinsey yourself.

You really think Im stupid.

Are you forgetting I sent the real Kinsey to meet his ancestors?

I know that, senorita Olivia, but he was a magnificent actor.

You hired as a leading man a bit-part actor

whom Saint-Dominique unmasked immediately.

I had my best team on the job.

Well, its such a success.

Your choirboys enjoyed a very short career.

One got killed while playing hide-and-seek in Aztec ruins,

and the second one was found on the marketplace,

hanging from a buchers hook.

This Saint-Dominique is the Devil himself.

Hes a clever man, which is far more dangerous.

Right now, I bet hes already far from here.

No, no, senorita, hes not far at all. On the contrary, hes still here.

Hes taking some rest.

In the "Estancia del Sol" with a pretty girl.

Are you positive?

I swear it on the Virgin of the Pilars cloak, senorita.

Ive got four men watching him.

Great show!

Anyway, he can't complain about having had a bad death.

Certainly.

- Sorry to bother you, senorita. - Oh, no.

Please, have a taste. I prepared this dish especially for you.

After all, yes. To each their pleasures.

You were with him at the hotel.

Yes.

And of course you don't know where he is now.

I know senorita.

He is flying.

- Flying? - Yes, I accompanied him to the airport.

- To the airport? - Yes, but he told me that back soon.

He promised me a long love letter from Berlin.

Berlin!

Tell me Pablo, there's a way to send a message to East Berlin?

Yes, of course.

Well.

In Berlin, Julien Saint-Dominique.

Franz sent me.

Shop? Closed?

I don't know.

Ok. Thank you.

- Hello? - Hello, Ja?

- Fraulen Frieda, please. - Fraulen Frieda gone.

- Dont you know when she comes back? - Fraulen Frieda not here anymore.

You almost made me wait, Saint-Dominique.

Flix... You?

As you can see.

Your old friend Flix who died before your very eyes

and whose body you never could find, for a good reason.

You must admit I really played you for a fool this time.

The resurrection trick is somewhat old.

Lazarus did it two thousand years ago.

Living again is not all: one must know how to enjoy it.

Im all ears. Youre dying to tell me your story.

It doesnt lack spice, as youre going to see.

Youll be surprised to discover how amateurish

the equipment of your services is,

compared to what I can use today.

Here, were able to pick up one thousand messages a day

and we have the right tools to crack them.

All radio communications are intercepted in both zones,

then translated and selected by our computers.

Clever, isnt it?

It all depends on what youre planning to do with them.

Im going to explain it all. I know your proverbial discretion.

From this cubicle,

I can counter or change the plans of all European military staffs.

You can see the power that is mine to command?

I can imagine.

Youll understand better if you consider the fact that,

having spent twenty years in your services,

I can know all of your codes,

some of your agents and even your methods.

You couldnt teach me anything more,

so I chose a death which made me free again.

Whos paying you? The East Germans or the Russians?

Ah! East Germans! Russians!

Theyre all as stupid as you are.

They think we are Western agents who defected to their side.

They dont begin to imagine that we play them as we wish.

For our own interest.

We are the masters of the world.

Who are "we"?

I and somebody whos very far from here.

In the far East.

Somebody who knows about the awkward balance

between the two armed groups who dwell on either side of the wall,

still spying on each other.

A mere spark would cause those two blocks to explode.

Our goal is to heat things up until the Apocalypse begins.

- War? - Precisely.

The Russians and the Westerners will clash at the moment

we shall have predicted and in the place we shall have chosen.

When this old decrepit world

is utterly annihilated, it will be our job

to establish a new order in its stead.

- Paranoiac! - Is that all you can say?

Youre witnessing event beyond your control.

The machine is now running and nothing can stop it anymore.

Take him away.

I want to know the comings and goings of the airborne divisions

of each and every country during the last 24 hours.

So Mexico disappointed you?

Ciao!

I can see you changed sides for good.

Flix must pay you more than the Americans,

and youre sleeping with him.

As far as men and champagne are concerned,

Im always faithful to France.

No doubt you prefer Mexican women.

Too bad. Let me tell you what is to be your fate, then.

Youll be Flixs instrument, youll do what he orders,

youll tell your chief what he commands you to tell him.

Why would he need my services?

Flix knows our code as well as I do.

Youre forgetting one thing:

in the West, they think youre still in Mexico.

And what will happen should I refuse?

Whatever happens, youll be killed.

I alone, here, have a chance to save you.

But only if you play fair with me.

You cant play the hero anymore. They will cancel your willpower.

Mescaline...

Im stronger than Reichau was.

Von Rudolf is also stronger than Reichau, and he talked.

Von Rudolf? Hes here?

I can arrange for you to meet him if youre interested.

If you want to know the effects of mescaline, just ask him.

Gunther devotedly gave him the treatment.

Olivia! Might I speak to him?

Hes your neighbour. Second door on the left.

Mabillon...

I knew they abducted you too.

I tried to resist, but it was in vain.

- What about Frieda? - Frieda is just a memory now.

They want us to pass on false messages to the West.

Is it possible to resist mescaline?

In a sense. It can suppress willpower but not memory.

Listen, when you talk to colonel Lasalle,

dont call me by the name you gave me, Mabillon,

but use my real name, Von Rudolf.

The colonel will smell something fishy.

OK. Von Rudolf.

Oh, heres the prestigious speaker

whos going to relay our information to the West.

So you think Ill do everything that you want?

No doubt about it. Im convinced of it.

Gunther is a distinguished specialist of mescaline.

When we last met, you behaved like a brute.

Im going to give you such a dose

that youll be as meek as a lamb this time.

Youll see what a joy youll get out of obeying.

Obedience is a wonderful thing:

it cancels your cases of conscience, your responsabilities, your will...

Youll have no reason to reproach yourself.

What did your friend Von Rudolf tell you?

He told me resisting it was difficult.

Follow me.

You, out!

Listen, Saint-Dominique

Russian and allied patrols are just about to meet in the sewers.

As for the piece of news that will ignite it all,and start an irreversible conflict,

you will transmit it, my friend.

And I think it rather funny that you, the champion of peace,

should launch the most powerful forces in the world on the path of war!

No, youre bluffing. I cant believe that they will fall for it.

Well, just listen then. Can you hear?

The Western chiefs of staffs are in

constant communication with their patrols.

Now, all we need is a spark and the whole shebang will go up in flames.

We have men whose mission is to cause it.

Ive just been informed that the patrols are walking towards each other.

Its 11:15 pm, and this is the 18th of July.

Everything will start working according to our predictions.

Youll have the honour to tell the Western military staffs

that the Soviets are now invading West Berlin through the sewers.

You know very well that you cant oppose my will.

Inform you colonel of the attack.

For you, colonel.

- Hello? - Colonel!

This is Saint-Dominique, calling from East Berlin.

Von Rudolf was right, colonel.

I know but I didnt have the time to warn you,

I had to come back here. I repeat:

Von Rudolf was right. The Russians...

...are already under the English sector.

You must act without wasting one second...

or they will take possession of Berlin

and it will be too late to oppose them.

How convinced you sound, Saint-Dominique.

Hello, Saint-Dominique?

Hello? Hello, answer me!

What did your agent tell you?

Its really supposed to be a carefully planned Russian action,

with their forces already under the English sector.

Supposed to be? Are you not convinced?

No, Im not convinced.

He called one of my agents by his real name, which is a breach of the code.

There is no time to lose. We must act immediately, gentlemen.

John! You will now transmit to units C and D

the order to apply Security Plan number 3.

Please relay what you just heard.

I inform you that allied units C and D

have received the order to implement Plan number 3.

Alter the order. Have Attack Plan number 6 executed.

Transmit the order to execute Plan number 6.

Give the same order to the British and American divisions in their own code.

Do you know what Plan 6 is?

The allied air forces and armies

must be prepared to attack East Germany in 30 minutes.

What will happen if the Russians do not get a similar order?

Be assured that they will.

Informing Soviet forces that the allied staff launched plan 6.

This is very serious. Theyre gathering their troops on the frontier.

We must take measures now! Order the airforce to stand ready!

Moscow on the phone, general.

Hello? Relay the Russian commanders conversation

to the Western wiretapping sets.

Yes, the situation is extremely serious. The attack is imminent.

I think Berlin is just the beginning of the operation.

Please, do sit down.

All is going well. Nothing can be done anymore.

The chain reaction is now irreversible.

Gentlemen, Ive just received from Washington

the order that I must transmit to the NATO forces.

Our squadrons must take off immediately:

should they not receive any counter command within thirty minutes

they will attack the USSR.

Dont move!

Mabillon, quick!

No! Its my turn to help you.

Follow me at a distance, and when Im shot at, save yourself.

Julien, do as I tell you.

Dont. Ill go.

Very happy to welcome you in the Soviet sector, mister Saint-Dominique,

in spite of your irregular way of entering it.

I must urgently make an important revelation.

Are you prepared to listen?

Im too humble for important revelations.

Ive got no time to lose.

In every army in the world, mister Saint-Dominique,

urgent matters have to follow chain of command.

But at least, take me to someone whos entitled to listen.

Keep the calm, Im taking you now.

Be patient, please. Everything is going to be fine.

Be patient? Id like to see you in my place, General.

You must cancel your orders, so your men wont react to provocations.

Unfortunately, the lines are cut, and you damaged the circuits yourself.

If theres just one death tonight in Berlin, it will be your responsability.

For you, comrade General.

Yes? Yes.

Oh? You say it was a false alert? I cancel previous orders.

Well, were going to put the circuits back in order.

Fine. Now you can see that I was right.

I regret, but I must personally take you back to the French sector.

If Moscow hadnt phoned, you would have done nothing.

You shouldnt get excited,

As you can see, war wasnt for today.

Please.

I deeply feel for you, lieutnant.

You were born too late for the last war

and probably too early for the next one.

For you, General.

Thank you, Lassalle.

Yes, mister President. My respects. Youre welcome.

Yes, this cant be explained.

No, nothing serious.

Yes, mister President.

Everything seems to amount to a mere patrolling incident.

Yes, it could have been more serious.

I know, I regret.

Julien?

What are you doing here?

We have a outstanding account.

Really?

And you say it to me...

...after a caress through Mabillon...

Yes.

I'm starting to like it.

Get up!

Hey, youre not drunk anymore.

Look whos here.

Sorry to interrupt this little polite conversation.

- If Im intruding, just tell me. - No, on the contrary.

youre just in time: we were talking about you.

Yes, he wants to settle our accounts.

And definitely so, I should add.

How do you think youll force us to pay?

By giving yourself up to the American police.

You played... and you lost.

Now come.

- Where do you want to take me? - Its a surprise.

What a coincidence. I also have a surprise for you.

If killing me amuses you, be my guest,

but I must warn you: others will take my place.

It will have been for nothing.

I work for the United States. Who will prove that Im not?

Youre right: nobody will.

Abolutely nobody, thats true.

- Except me. - Youre drunk.

Drunk? Im never drunk.

Never, darling, even after ten bottles of whisky.

- Thats my very best asset in life. - Congratulations, Steve.

But since youve got no proof, they wont believe you.

Im sorry: this time, youre wrong, because I have here...

a whole file against you that I painstakingly assembled, day after day.

Here is everything.

Microfilms, magnetic tapes...

photographs...

documents in your handwriting,

not to mention the testimony of one of Flixs men

who was secretly working for the French.

This is more than enough to send you to the electric chair.

As you can see, I also have my little surprise.

Ah, congratulations, Steve. This time, I tip my hat to you.

- Well... Cinderella vanished.

- I doubt it.

She has left the Princes Charming.

And yet Steve, not all things she combined are clear to me.

As woman, she is inconsistent.

Since weve got the slipper,

lets wait for the next ball.
