What do you say Max? 102 00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:30,750 Lifeline? - Yes. - But... - It's got contacts, some of them in high places. 103 00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:37,430 It's got political influence and it's got money.

It won't work. 118 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,910 No, our only hope is to replace the evasion line workers, one at a time, 119 00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,030 without them realizing what is happening. 120 00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,310 Oh rubbish. 121 00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:42,750 Let's listen to Paul's idea. - What would be the point? You won't even consider an immediate takeover. 122 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:46,710 He's the only one who knows who the organizers are. 123 00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,430 Eh comrade? - Yes, that's right. 124 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,590 It's all up here. - And that's where it's going to stay. 125 00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,830 One hint of suspicion. And Lifeline will melt into thin air. 126 00:11:58,160 --> 00:12:02,990 There'll be nothing left to take over. No money, no contacts, nothing. 127 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:09,230 Now you stick to your business of tearing up railway lines. And let me stick to mine, comrade. 128 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,950 Max isn't in yet? - No, not yet. 129 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:28,510 You might ask him where the hell he gets to these days? He's never here when he's wanted, is he? 130 00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:32,190 Well he's got a life of his own you know. A girl maybe? 131 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,950 Well, I hope he has a better time of it than me, and if she's lucky, he might even marry her. 132 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:42,030 Open it. 133 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,710 Where did you get that? 134 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:51,470 Do you like it? 135 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:57,070 I haven't seen this since, since before the war. 136 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:02,510 Oh, it's lovely.

They'd get back to England. 142 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,070 They'd fly out again. They'd get shot down again. 143 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,920 Then it all starts again. 144 00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:32,430 Will it ever end Albert? 145 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:36,790 I want to survive. I want us both to survive. 146 00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,910 Is that all? - There's no time for anything else. 147 00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,150 Max, come in. 148 00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,520 You're late Max. - Ah, but you still love me, don't you. 149 00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:54,550 Hurry up Max.
