1
00:00:37,625 --> 00:00:40,416
The clock ticks tick-tock, tick-tock.

2
00:00:40,583 --> 00:00:42,833
The birds by the lake go chirp, chirp, chirp.

3
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:45,375
All the turkeys go gobble, gobble, gobble.

4
00:00:45,541 --> 00:00:46,958
And the pretty bell goes ding-ding-dong.

5
00:00:47,125 --> 00:00:49,125
But boom!

6
00:00:49,291 --> 00:00:51,291
When our hearts go boom!

7
00:00:51,791 --> 00:00:52,916
Everything around us goes boom!

8
00:00:53,083 --> 00:00:55,458
And love awakens...

9
00:00:57,125 --> 00:01:00,992
Hello? Can you hear me?

10
00:01:01,083 --> 00:01:02,590
This is our last Polish communiqué.

11
00:01:03,410 --> 00:01:06,290
German troops have now entered Warsaw.

12
00:01:07,610 --> 00:01:11,350
Our thoughts are with the Polish soldiers still fighting on the Hel Peninsula,

13
00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:14,950
and with all those still fighting, wherever they may be.

14
00:01:15,830 --> 00:01:17,430
Poland is not yet lost!

15
00:01:18,310 --> 00:01:20,510
Long live Poland!

16
00:01:48,240 --> 00:01:52,960
At around 4:30 this morning, we learned that two Dutch airfields

17
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:56,259
were being bombed by German aircraft.

18
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,200
A few minutes later, from the windows

19
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,960
of the Foreign Ministry, we saw the first German bombers

20
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:05,700
flying over Brussels.

21
00:02:05,700 --> 00:02:08,259
We heard the first bombs exploding.

22
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:13,160
At that moment, gentlemen...

23
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:19,060
No warning! No ultimatum!

24
00:02:19,060 --> 00:02:22,700
I, Winston Churchill, address you for the first time as Prime Minister.

25
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,380
This is Radio Paris, broadcasting on 312.9 metres.

26
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:32,620
Yesterday morning, German Panzer divisions
bypassed the Maginot Line through the Ardennes

27
00:02:32,620 --> 00:02:34,440
and entered French territory.

28
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,000
Our soldiers fought and sacrificed themselves, hour after hour,

29
00:02:37,180 --> 00:02:38,840
but our defences along the Meuse have fallen.

30
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,020
Even now, the fighting continues.

31
00:02:41,875 --> 00:02:45,583
After Mézières and Valenciennes, Givet has fallen to the enemy.

32
00:02:45,820 --> 00:02:48,620
The formidable war machine Hitler has unleashed against France

33
00:02:48,620 --> 00:02:49,820
seems unstoppable.

34
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:51,780
Civilians in the eastern and northern regions

35
00:02:51,780 --> 00:02:54,520
are being ordered to evacuate by the authorities.

36
00:02:55,260 --> 00:02:57,440
German troops are approaching the small town of Montcornet,

37
00:02:57,440 --> 00:02:59,280
which commands the road towards Soissons and Paris.

38
00:03:00,060 --> 00:03:03,020
As we speak, Colonel de Gaulle's 4th Armoured Division

39
00:03:03,020 --> 00:03:05,840
is advancing on Montcornet to block the enemy's advance.

40
00:03:44,829 --> 00:03:47,110
Colonel, the Germans have taken Montcornet.

41
00:03:47,770 --> 00:03:49,329
Have you seen them?

42
00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:53,450
I'll go and see.

43
00:03:55,950 --> 00:03:57,410
We must turn back, Colonel.

44
00:03:58,550 --> 00:03:59,530
Overtake the tanks.

45
00:04:13,490 --> 00:04:14,310
Keep up this speed.

46
00:04:15,210 --> 00:04:16,870
How far, Colonel?

47
00:04:16,870 --> 00:04:18,149
Until they start shooting at us.

48
00:04:28,750 --> 00:04:30,590
Colonel, the tanks are far behind us!

49
00:04:31,670 --> 00:04:33,610
What do we do?

50
00:04:33,610 --> 00:04:34,690
Where I'm pointing.

51
00:04:38,690 --> 00:04:41,290
We have to limit our losses! We must turn back now!

52
00:04:41,570 --> 00:04:42,750
Colonel!

53
00:04:42,750 --> 00:04:43,810
They're going to fire!

54
00:04:44,110 --> 00:04:45,130
Where I'm pointing.

55
00:04:53,060 --> 00:04:53,420
Stop.

56
00:05:12,083 --> 00:05:13,041
Montcornet!

57
00:05:13,208 --> 00:05:15,875
We are alone among the enemy. What is the point?

58
00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:19,700
We're beaten. It's a complete rout!

59
00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:22,620
Do I look as though I'm running away?

60
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:25,160
Carry on.

61
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:42,600
It is with a heavy heart that I tell you today that the fighting must cease.

62
00:05:43,580 --> 00:05:49,860
I, Marshal Pétain, assume the leadership of France as of today.

63
00:05:51,020 --> 00:05:55,000
Last night, I approached the enemy to ask whether he would be willing

64
00:05:55,000 --> 00:06:01,480
to seek, together with me, as soldiers, after the fighting and with honour,

65
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,200
a means of bringing hostilities to an end.

66
00:06:06,620 --> 00:06:12,300
Let all French people rally around the government I lead and silence their...

67
00:06:12,540 --> 00:06:13,000
No!

68
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,520
To London.

69
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,440
Isn't there anyone else?

70
00:07:00,970 --> 00:07:01,910
General, we must go.

71
00:07:05,250 --> 00:07:06,875
You are free to go, Courcel.

72
00:07:08,458 --> 00:07:09,916
You are dismissed.

73
00:07:10,958 --> 00:07:11,708
Let's continue.

74
00:07:20,500 --> 00:07:23,416
There is panic in London since France laid down its arms.

75
00:07:23,582 --> 00:07:26,000
- That's why I'm here.

76
00:07:26,860 --> 00:07:30,920
France has had her ups and downs since
Clovis, but she does not abandon her allies.

77
00:07:34,820 --> 00:07:36,240
I must address the French people.

78
00:07:46,380 --> 00:07:46,700
Come.

79
00:07:49,740 --> 00:07:51,040
Didn't you hear the Marshal?

80
00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:52,500
Madam, 200,000 German soldiers are here!

81
00:07:53,260 --> 00:07:57,340
What can they do against 40 million French people?

82
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:07,060
Come on, it's over, lad. Go home.

83
00:08:13,625 --> 00:08:14,375
Sir!

84
00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,460
Hey, you two!

85
00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:24,460
The commanders who have led the French
armies for so many years have formed a government.

86
00:09:25,140 --> 00:09:31,080
This government has entered into negotiations
with the enemy to end the fighting.

87
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:34,720
But has the final word been spoken?

88
00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:35,780
No!

89
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:42,600
I, General de Gaulle, now in London, call upon...

90
00:09:55,270 --> 00:09:57,770
There must be light.

91
00:09:59,550 --> 00:10:01,630
There must be hope.

92
00:10:02,430 --> 00:10:09,010
Somewhere, the flame of resistance must shine and burn.

93
00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:39,200
Tomorrow, as today, I shall speak on London radio.

94
00:10:50,330 --> 00:10:51,770
The Marshal wishes to see you, Admiral.

95
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,740
Do you know this de Gaulle?

96
00:10:57,740 --> 00:11:00,740
A mere colonel promoted to general in the midst of a rout...

97
00:11:00,740 --> 00:11:04,620
who repays his country by denouncing its government from London.

98
00:11:04,900 --> 00:11:06,100
And who refuses the armistice.

99
00:11:07,620 --> 00:11:09,640
Men have been shot for less than that. Let's go.

100
00:11:15,333 --> 00:11:16,166
Extra edition!

101
00:11:16,333 --> 00:11:17,666
France abandons Britain!

102
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,820
We cannot keep going alone against the entire continent.

103
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:24,140
This is sheer madness.

104
00:11:24,540 --> 00:11:25,040
Madness?

105
00:11:25,740 --> 00:11:28,400
Now Hitler can seize the French ships and use them against us.

106
00:11:28,660 --> 00:11:30,560
Morton, we've all read the terms of the armistice.

107
00:11:30,740 --> 00:11:33,240
The French fleet is to remain neutral and disarmed.

108
00:11:33,500 --> 00:11:34,160
Under German control.

109
00:11:34,980 --> 00:11:38,200
Under l'amiral de la flotte's control, primarily.

110
00:11:39,140 --> 00:11:42,300
Spears, why can't you bring Darlan to London? Where is he now?

111
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:42,680
I...

112
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:44,600
In Toulon. We still have an eye on him.

113
00:11:45,420 --> 00:11:47,840
The French Navy was left unscathed by the defeat.

114
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:49,840
The sailors revere him even more as a result.

115
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,040
Even Marshal Pétain couldn't force him
to hand over his powerful fleet to the Germans.

116
00:11:55,540 --> 00:11:56,380
A powerful fleet?

117
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,180
It is a powerful fleet.

118
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,700
And perhaps we could sway him if we play our cards right.

119
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:07,820
We don't quite know where he stands.

120
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,300
He doesn't think much of Pétain.

121
00:12:11,700 --> 00:12:12,160
Indeed.

122
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,580
But he hates open disloyalty.

123
00:12:19,300 --> 00:12:24,960
Which is why having someone in London insulting the
old Marshal over the airwaves is exactly what we should not be doing.

124
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:27,700
What was his name again?

125
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:28,220
Gaulle.

126
00:12:28,220 --> 00:12:32,220
De Gaulle is the only French general
who wants to carry on fighting the Germans.

127
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:34,500
A disgruntled provisional general, Spears.

128
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:37,480
Le traître, as he's now known to the French.

129
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Listen, we can have Admiral Darlan with
his fleet or we can have de Gaulle with his appendage.

130
00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,300
We cannot have both.

131
00:12:47,860 --> 00:12:49,120
I'm sorry, that's what it boils down to.

132
00:13:00,990 --> 00:13:01,730
Very well.

133
00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:04,730
I'll cut him loose.

134
00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:07,110
Thank you, gentlemen.

135
00:13:07,710 --> 00:13:08,690
Very well, Prime Minister.

136
00:13:09,030 --> 00:13:09,930
Thank you, Prime Minister.

137
00:13:12,130 --> 00:13:13,630
Nothing personal, Spears.

138
00:13:14,150 --> 00:13:16,110
I don't think I've ever even laid eyes on your man.

139
00:13:16,270 --> 00:13:19,770
You know he has a woman's hips and a head like a banana.

140
00:13:20,310 --> 00:13:22,350
At his size, he'd be hard to miss.

141
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,320
Prime Minister,

142
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,720
The French people need to hear a voice urging them to fight.

143
00:13:42,420 --> 00:13:43,620
And I need...

144
00:13:44,180 --> 00:13:45,880
the French fleet.

145
00:13:47,640 --> 00:13:50,600
I was delighted to let you speak on the BBC.

146
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,580
And I can assure you I was virtually alone in doing so...

147
00:13:53,580 --> 00:13:55,940
Britain must remain true to her principles.

148
00:13:57,000 --> 00:14:01,300
For the sake of everyone who, like me, believes in her victory.

149
00:14:03,820 --> 00:14:06,220
There aren't many of us, even here.

150
00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:15,620
I must still be able to deal with your government,

151
00:14:16,360 --> 00:14:19,000
even if it has disgracefully capitulated.

152
00:14:19,380 --> 00:14:21,220
France has not capitulated.

153
00:14:23,260 --> 00:14:25,200
Pétain signed the document, General.

154
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,760
France has capitulated. Nobody can dispute that.

155
00:14:28,900 --> 00:14:30,460
Well, I dispute it.

156
00:14:31,820 --> 00:14:32,240
You?

157
00:14:33,380 --> 00:14:36,420
What Pétain signs does not bind France,

158
00:14:36,420 --> 00:14:40,360
when he acts under duress from the enemy.

159
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,300
Ah, General de Gaulle.

160
00:14:45,460 --> 00:14:47,720
France is an old country.

161
00:14:48,460 --> 00:14:49,560
A great country.

162
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:57,540
Unfortunately, I do not have the authority to replace her head of state.

163
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:01,400
Prime Minister,

164
00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:04,620
I shall establish a national committee,

165
00:15:04,620 --> 00:15:06,940
with all those who rally to me.

166
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:09,780
Ambassadors, governors...

167
00:15:10,860 --> 00:15:15,340
France still has substantial forces intact,
from Algiers to Dakar, throughout the Empire.

168
00:15:17,180 --> 00:15:20,760
Recognise me, and together we shall raise an army capable of victory.

169
00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:22,200
"We"?

170
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:27,820
You are alone, General.

171
00:15:45,260 --> 00:15:47,280
We are alone, Winston.

172
00:16:31,166 --> 00:16:34,540
And now, dear listeners, our programme in French.

173
00:16:38,830 --> 00:16:42,890
You are about to hear an important statement addressed to all French people.

174
00:16:50,890 --> 00:16:55,230
The decision taken today by the British government

175
00:16:55,630 --> 00:16:58,810
to recognise me as leader of the Free French

176
00:16:59,390 --> 00:17:03,610
is of great importance and profound significance.

177
00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:07,089
It enables the Free French to organise

178
00:17:07,089 --> 00:17:11,089
and continue the war alongside our allies.

179
00:17:12,050 --> 00:17:13,390
I hereby decree the following.

180
00:17:14,270 --> 00:17:20,550
First, I place under my authority all
French nationals residing in British territory,

181
00:17:20,833 --> 00:17:22,250
Churchill wanted to put a stop to this!

182
00:17:22,550 --> 00:17:23,690
or who may come to reside here.

183
00:17:24,833 --> 00:17:25,750
Cut the transmission!

184
00:17:25,990 --> 00:17:30,210
Second, there shall immediately be established here...

185
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:38,920
There shall immediately be established here a land force,

186
00:17:38,940 --> 00:17:41,140
a naval force and an air force.

187
00:17:42,500 --> 00:17:45,900
For the time being, these forces will consist of volunteers.

188
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:54,000
Their first task will be to support French
resistance wherever it arises throughout the Empire.

189
00:17:55,240 --> 00:18:01,400
I call upon all French servicemen of the army, navy and air force to join them.

190
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:08,460
I urge all young men and all men of fighting age to enlist.

191
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:14,690
Generals, senior officers and governors throughout the Empire...

192
00:18:14,710 --> 00:18:17,630
I authorised volunteers, not a government in exile!

193
00:18:17,730 --> 00:18:18,350
So I did.

194
00:18:18,410 --> 00:18:25,150
...to unite the forces of resistance and save French territories.

195
00:18:28,270 --> 00:18:29,150
Who is that?

196
00:18:30,670 --> 00:18:31,910
Let's give him a chance.

197
00:18:33,410 --> 00:18:36,370
Our people need living proof that Britain is not alone.

198
00:18:36,770 --> 00:18:38,750
Have you forgotten about the bloody fleet?

199
00:18:40,970 --> 00:18:43,250
Look, if I don't tell you, your Cabinet will.

200
00:18:45,050 --> 00:18:46,630
He's making you look ridiculous.

201
00:18:48,430 --> 00:18:51,690
Allow me to admire a soldier who loves his country.

202
00:18:53,370 --> 00:18:57,110
Men like him won the Great War, not armchair intellectuals.

203
00:18:57,570 --> 00:19:02,950
Even so, putting our faith in de Gaulle seems rather reckless, doesn't it?

204
00:19:03,850 --> 00:19:06,130
Anthony, this is not my first war.

205
00:19:10,070 --> 00:19:11,530
If he fails, we'll get rid of him.

206
00:19:20,220 --> 00:19:21,780
Thank you again, Mr. Pleven.

207
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,570
General, a pleasure.

208
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,680
Mr. Ambassador, you'll handle foreign affairs. You, Monnet, the finances.

209
00:19:28,680 --> 00:19:32,660
Now that Churchill has recognised us, we must draft an official reply.

210
00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:36,320
Careful. Every word matters. This is an agreement between states.

211
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:40,780
General, every Frenchman in London must follow his own convictions.

212
00:19:41,780 --> 00:19:45,100
And you, Mr. Ambassador?

213
00:19:45,100 --> 00:19:46,360
This is my farewell reception.

214
00:19:49,260 --> 00:19:49,640
I see.

215
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,300
Monnet, I'm counting on you.

216
00:19:54,200 --> 00:19:58,580
General, President Roosevelt has asked me to join him in Washington.

217
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:03,760
And Mr. Pleven is coming with me.

218
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:19,130
The ambassador has kindly gathered the leading members of the French community.

219
00:20:20,250 --> 00:20:20,870
All of you here.

220
00:20:23,110 --> 00:20:26,590
Marshal Pétain has delivered France into the hands of the enemy.

221
00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:29,390
You may follow him.

222
00:20:30,930 --> 00:20:36,850
Down the road of humiliation. Or you may choose honour. There is no third way.

223
00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:42,010
To accept the armistice is to play into German hands, sooner or later.

224
00:20:42,500 --> 00:20:44,208
It's a disgrace!

225
00:20:44,230 --> 00:20:47,490
We must take up the broken sword.

226
00:20:48,530 --> 00:20:53,470
I invite all those who wish France to be free to join me.

227
00:20:54,930 --> 00:20:58,490
The Marshal is trying to protect the
French. We mustn't sever ties with him, General.

228
00:20:58,870 --> 00:21:00,090
We remain loyal to Marshal Pétain.

229
00:21:00,950 --> 00:21:02,670
He was appointed entirely lawfully.

230
00:21:13,750 --> 00:21:16,708
- It disgraces the uniform. - Absolutely.

231
00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,260
General, the ship meant to bring your family
has arrived without them. We're awaiting news.

232
00:22:09,820 --> 00:22:10,840
Anything else?

233
00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:20,530
The French government has stripped you of your
nationality, and a court-martial has sentenced you to death.

234
00:22:20,530 --> 00:22:27,190
Ah, fascinating. Is that all?

235
00:22:27,890 --> 00:22:33,330
Yes. No visitors, no telephone calls.

236
00:22:45,730 --> 00:22:52,850
General, we can still give up. We have enough money left to go to Canada.

237
00:24:06,460 --> 00:24:11,160
I am a soldier, Father. France's misfortunes...

238
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,420
I bear responsibility for them.

239
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:17,280
The sin of pride, my son.

240
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:26,860
I know, Father. Yet I would rather disappear than see France accept her defeat.

241
00:24:28,620 --> 00:24:30,000
Without her, I don't know where to turn.

242
00:24:34,458 --> 00:24:36,166
General de Gaulle?

243
00:24:49,791 --> 00:24:51,850
How many companies have joined you?

244
00:24:51,940 --> 00:24:53,060
Not even one soldier, Father.

245
00:24:53,060 --> 00:25:02,900
If you should need a chaplain or a former naval officer...

246
00:25:02,900 --> 00:25:03,320
Both.

247
00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:07,960
By the grace of God, hold fast.

248
00:25:24,125 --> 00:25:26,208
- Hello? - Switchboard, how can I help?

249
00:25:29,666 --> 00:25:30,916
Courcel?

250
00:25:43,460 --> 00:25:46,100
Who are you?

251
00:25:46,100 --> 00:25:48,020
Do you speak English?

252
00:25:48,020 --> 00:25:49,400
No, I'm French.

253
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:50,500
Blazej.

254
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:52,920
I'm here to fix the tap.

255
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,880
You must be a friend of Mr. Paul, sir.

256
00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:57,040
The owner.

257
00:25:57,460 --> 00:25:58,740
I am General de Gaulle.

258
00:26:04,930 --> 00:26:05,430
At ease.

259
00:26:07,490 --> 00:26:07,990
At ease.

260
00:26:11,450 --> 00:26:12,650
Blaise, is that right?

261
00:26:13,250 --> 00:26:16,810
Good. Sit over there. You'll answer the telephone.

262
00:26:19,333 --> 00:26:20,291
Pardon?

263
00:26:20,410 --> 00:26:24,020
Sir?

264
00:26:24,020 --> 00:26:25,040
Sit down.

265
00:26:38,020 --> 00:26:38,620
Telephone.

266
00:27:00,860 --> 00:27:01,520
Please.

267
00:27:02,500 --> 00:27:03,375
Over here.

268
00:27:10,630 --> 00:27:12,430
Thank you for coming.

269
00:27:15,270 --> 00:27:17,550
France needs you.

270
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,020
General, I've already made up my mind.

271
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:49,260
Disgraced, but still the Republic.

272
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:51,760
My duty is not to betray...

273
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:55,160
Oh, I know. Washington is the one who needs you.

274
00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:57,360
They're short of everything over there.

275
00:27:57,620 --> 00:28:00,380
Whereas here, we live in luxury.

276
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:06,600
As head of foreign affairs and finance,

277
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,860
you could even choose your own office.

278
00:28:13,820 --> 00:28:16,120
On what basis are you negotiating with the British?

279
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:17,540
We are France.

280
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:18,820
"We"?

281
00:28:20,300 --> 00:28:21,420
You?

282
00:28:21,420 --> 00:28:21,620
We.

283
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:31,660
If only you'd been elected.

284
00:28:33,140 --> 00:28:34,040
Even mayor of a village.

285
00:28:36,700 --> 00:28:41,640
You surely remember a certain fellow by the name of Clovis.

286
00:28:42,580 --> 00:28:47,840
Well, when he came along, our country had to defend itself against everyone.

287
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:50,840
Just like today, we had reached rock bottom.

288
00:28:51,020 --> 00:28:55,700
But Clovis began turning things around and defeated the barbarians at Tolbiac.

289
00:28:57,020 --> 00:28:59,220
Two hundred years later, we had Charlemagne.

290
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,120
Perhaps in two hundred years, people
will say that France's revival began right here.

291
00:29:06,180 --> 00:29:06,660
Thanks to us.

292
00:29:15,940 --> 00:29:16,840
I'm sorry, General.

293
00:29:28,583 --> 00:29:30,083
Goodbye, sir.

294
00:29:47,833 --> 00:29:48,708
Courcel!

295
00:29:49,500 --> 00:29:50,620
Courcel!

296
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,480
Beggars, now? Who are these people?

297
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:08,840
We're all from the same island off Brittany, the Île de Sein. We're fishermen.

298
00:30:09,540 --> 00:30:13,280
We heard your appeal, so we all came.

299
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,320
We don't believe in the armistice. And we never will.

300
00:30:19,240 --> 00:30:21,520
We don't want Germans on our island. We came in our own boats.

301
00:30:23,220 --> 00:30:23,920
Four of them.

302
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:25,700
Nonsense. They can't fight!

303
00:30:25,900 --> 00:30:28,160
Yes, we do! We'll fight better than your other soldiers!

304
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,100
How old are you, young man?

305
00:30:35,100 --> 00:30:35,780
Eighteen, sir.

306
00:30:38,140 --> 00:30:38,640
Sixteen.

307
00:30:46,220 --> 00:30:47,000
Welcome!

308
00:31:01,625 --> 00:31:04,208
- Thank you, General. - Thank you, General!

309
00:31:04,375 --> 00:31:05,625
See you tomorrow.

310
00:31:18,750 --> 00:31:20,000
Lieutenant.

311
00:31:21,830 --> 00:31:22,830
I hope this will suit you.

312
00:31:26,680 --> 00:31:29,900
I know this kind of building. It looks beautiful from the outside.

313
00:31:30,620 --> 00:31:33,600
But appearances are deceptive, sir. The plumbing is dreadful.

314
00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:33,780
Yes, sir.

315
00:31:54,100 --> 00:31:54,980
Reporting for duty, General.

316
00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:58,480
What brings you to London, Boislambert?

317
00:31:59,060 --> 00:32:00,480
The war, if possible, General.

318
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,700
Good. That makes two of us.

319
00:32:02,140 --> 00:32:03,900
I don't want my family to think I'm a deserter.

320
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:04,420
Neither do I.

321
00:32:05,500 --> 00:32:08,680
I need an army. You will oversee recruitment.

322
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:09,880
Dismissed.

323
00:32:10,840 --> 00:32:11,580
Yes, General.

324
00:32:18,360 --> 00:32:18,960
Captain Kœnig.

325
00:32:20,320 --> 00:32:21,000
Foreign Legion.

326
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:21,820
Passy?

327
00:32:22,820 --> 00:32:23,660
Like the Métro station?

328
00:32:23,860 --> 00:32:25,320
An assumed name, to protect my family.

329
00:32:25,980 --> 00:32:27,060
Captain Philippe de Hauteclocque.

330
00:32:27,580 --> 00:32:28,320
At your orders, General.

331
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:30,620
Captain of what?

332
00:32:30,620 --> 00:32:31,080
Cavalry.

333
00:32:34,740 --> 00:32:37,040
At least you haven't got a family?

334
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:38,840
A wife and six young children, General.

335
00:32:39,420 --> 00:32:40,020
They're in France.

336
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:42,100
Think of an assumed name.

337
00:32:43,820 --> 00:32:44,640
Leclerc, then.

338
00:32:45,900 --> 00:32:47,020
Do you speak English?

339
00:32:47,540 --> 00:32:50,460
You'll set up an intelligence service.

340
00:32:52,860 --> 00:32:53,420
Dismissed.

341
00:32:53,860 --> 00:32:55,880
You'll form the first Free French brigade.

342
00:32:56,060 --> 00:32:58,200
And you'll be the first to engage the Germans.

343
00:32:59,280 --> 00:32:59,840
Yes, General.

344
00:33:00,340 --> 00:33:01,120
Have you got ammunition?

345
00:33:03,200 --> 00:33:03,920
Then find some.

346
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:06,480
"That." Not "zat."

347
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:08,000
Repeat after me.

348
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:11,800
I know that France...

349
00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:13,580
I know zat France...

350
00:33:13,580 --> 00:33:13,880
Good.

351
00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:18,360
I know that France will reese...

352
00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:19,320
"Rise."

353
00:33:20,916 --> 00:33:23,625
This is all nonsense!

354
00:33:28,070 --> 00:33:29,010
I'm sorry, madam.

355
00:33:31,430 --> 00:33:32,330
Blaise?

356
00:33:32,330 --> 00:33:32,650
Blazej.

357
00:33:34,530 --> 00:33:36,330
I know that France will rise again.

358
00:33:36,590 --> 00:33:38,290
That's good. Very good.

359
00:33:39,170 --> 00:33:39,630
Thank you.

360
00:33:40,550 --> 00:33:41,850
I do speak English, you know.

361
00:33:42,370 --> 00:33:43,770
Not at all. Concentrate, Blaise.

362
00:33:48,350 --> 00:33:51,550
What can I do to help you, General?

363
00:33:51,550 --> 00:33:52,370
Admiral Muselier.

364
00:33:54,770 --> 00:33:58,530
I need... a fighting fleet, for instance.

365
00:34:00,470 --> 00:34:02,790
What you need above all, de Gaulle...

366
00:34:06,760 --> 00:34:08,040
is an emblem.

367
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,320
Perhaps a little less tense?

368
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:26,380
Are you trying to sell me like a bar of soap?

369
00:34:27,980 --> 00:34:29,120
I'll have to do.

370
00:34:38,699 --> 00:34:40,380
It's the largest cinema on the boulevards.

371
00:34:40,380 --> 00:34:42,500
It would be a very bad sign if it didn't reopen.

372
00:34:43,400 --> 00:34:46,040
And naturally, there would be seats for you and all your officers.

373
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:46,920
Yes.

374
00:34:48,100 --> 00:34:48,960
For your soldiers too.

375
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:51,699
We don't go to the cinema by day.

376
00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:53,260
Yes, of course.

377
00:34:53,880 --> 00:34:56,600
The clock goes tick-tock, tick-tock.

378
00:34:57,120 --> 00:34:59,640
The birds by the lake go chirp, chirp, chirp.

379
00:35:00,180 --> 00:35:02,580
The turkeys go gobble, gobble, gobble.

380
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,920
And the pretty bell goes ding-ding-dong.

381
00:35:05,980 --> 00:35:07,340
But boom!

382
00:35:07,340 --> 00:35:09,720
When our hearts go boom!

383
00:35:10,380 --> 00:35:12,820
Everything around us goes boom!

384
00:35:12,820 --> 00:35:15,480
And love awakens.

385
00:35:16,300 --> 00:35:18,040
Everything has changed since yesterday.

386
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,420
And the street has eyes watching from the windows.

387
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:23,780
There are Krauts and outstretched hands.

388
00:35:23,860 --> 00:35:26,160
The sun is about to vanish over France.

389
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:28,960
Boom!

390
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,080
When our hearts go boom!

391
00:35:32,080 --> 00:35:34,620
Everything around us goes boom!

392
00:35:34,620 --> 00:35:35,720
And rage awakens.

393
00:35:38,140 --> 00:35:39,100
Boom!

394
00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:40,560
Hurry up. There are positions to fill.

395
00:35:43,958 --> 00:35:45,416
Le Matin!

396
00:35:45,583 --> 00:35:46,791
Fifty centimes!

397
00:35:46,958 --> 00:35:48,958
Concern is growing in Britain!

398
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:52,540
Marshal, you capitulated when my fleet hadn't lost a single battle.

399
00:35:54,240 --> 00:35:55,720
I will not hand it over to the Germans.

400
00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:57,740
I will not submit.

401
00:35:58,620 --> 00:36:01,260
What matters is that you don't send it to England.

402
00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:04,160
The Germans would make us pay dearly for it.

403
00:36:04,220 --> 00:36:05,740
Unlike de Gaulle, I am no traitor.

404
00:36:11,190 --> 00:36:16,130
Between submission and betrayal, there is a third way.

405
00:36:20,350 --> 00:36:21,370
The path of reason.

406
00:36:21,370 --> 00:36:27,270
Follow it, and you'll have a place in my government.

407
00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,460
Send your fleet to neutral territory.

408
00:36:44,980 --> 00:36:47,840
Minister of Defence. And I remain Admiral of the Fleet.

409
00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:50,340
The path of reason.

410
00:37:10,780 --> 00:37:15,660
Darlan has sent a third of his fleet
to Algeria, where the Germans could easily seize it.

411
00:37:16,540 --> 00:37:17,540
This is too great a threat.

412
00:37:17,540 --> 00:37:20,700
Have you tried to talk to Darlan one last time?

413
00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,300
He thinks we're losing the war, and that
we'll soon be signing a treaty with the Germans.

414
00:37:28,540 --> 00:37:31,140
He made his choice, Winston. We have to make ours.

415
00:37:31,780 --> 00:37:33,140
It's a horrible situation.

416
00:37:38,070 --> 00:37:39,910
We don't have a choice, do we?

417
00:37:41,030 --> 00:37:41,790
No, sir.

418
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:48,880
All right, take them out.

419
00:37:52,060 --> 00:37:53,080
Shall we tell de Gaulle?

420
00:37:55,580 --> 00:37:56,500
No. Spare him that.

421
00:38:14,375 --> 00:38:15,875
It's going to fall!

422
00:38:46,940 --> 00:38:50,000
These are the victims of an attack no Frenchman could have imagined.

423
00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:50,620
My poor Albert.

424
00:38:51,180 --> 00:38:53,120
The most despicable, the most heinous attack...

425
00:38:53,120 --> 00:38:57,200
Killed by the British at just 22, unable even to defend himself.

426
00:38:57,320 --> 00:38:59,320
A British squadron appeared off Mers-el-Kébir.

427
00:38:59,780 --> 00:39:04,640
Only a few weeks ago, that squadron had fought alongside the French Navy.

428
00:39:05,240 --> 00:39:05,860
And without warning...

429
00:39:05,860 --> 00:39:06,800
I'm sorry, Aunt Catherine.

430
00:39:06,820 --> 00:39:11,440
It attacked a fleet which, exactly one
month earlier, had protected the British at Dunkirk

431
00:39:11,840 --> 00:39:14,820
and enabled them to carry out their famous victorious retreat.

432
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:19,860
If any of you still doubted the traitor de Gaulle's true loyalties,

433
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:24,200
now you know the truth. He has shown his true colours.

434
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,280
French sailors bombed and sunk, while
their brothers-in-arms are imprisoned here.

435
00:40:08,820 --> 00:40:09,960
What are we going to tell them?

436
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:15,580
What can we possibly say after this?

437
00:40:17,710 --> 00:40:22,590
Fight alongside the men who just killed 1,300 of your comrades?

438
00:40:25,166 --> 00:40:26,625
I can't.

439
00:40:26,690 --> 00:40:28,770
Someone has to do it, Muselier.

440
00:40:35,180 --> 00:40:37,300
All personnel, attention!

441
00:40:39,700 --> 00:40:49,540
French sailors, yesterday, a terrible blow fell upon us.

442
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:58,540
Not a single Frenchman heard the news without pain and anger

443
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:05,780
that ships of the French fleet had been sunk by our allies.

444
00:41:07,980 --> 00:41:16,420
But those who delivered our country into
the hands of the enemy could have prevented it.

445
00:41:20,160 --> 00:41:22,820
And how?

446
00:41:22,820 --> 00:41:29,600
By refusing the shameful capitulation under which, sooner or later,

447
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:35,230
the enemy would have used our ships against Britain.

448
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:44,375
France and Britain will either perish together or triumph together.

449
00:41:44,541 --> 00:41:46,208
- Long live Pétain! - We obey Darlan!

450
00:41:46,375 --> 00:41:47,875
Those who wish...

451
00:41:48,291 --> 00:41:52,833
Those who wish to fight Germany, remain where you are.

452
00:41:52,870 --> 00:41:54,670
The others may leave the ranks.

453
00:42:17,830 --> 00:42:20,190
Attention!

454
00:42:21,550 --> 00:42:27,190
Soldiers of Free France, I promise you three things.

455
00:42:29,370 --> 00:42:32,390
Hard fighting, never firing upon fellow Frenchmen,

456
00:42:33,650 --> 00:42:34,550
and victory.

457
00:42:36,750 --> 00:42:39,690
Don't expect congratulations from me. You're merely doing your duty.

458
00:42:42,510 --> 00:42:43,250
That's all.

459
00:42:43,250 --> 00:42:46,410
Is that all? This is ridiculous! Who does he think he is?

460
00:43:09,690 --> 00:43:13,170
Your speech for this evening, General. Prepared by Spears.

461
00:43:17,570 --> 00:43:18,730
In English?

462
00:43:23,230 --> 00:43:25,570
Three pages?

463
00:43:42,041 --> 00:43:45,250
I present to you a remarkable man,

464
00:43:45,416 --> 00:43:47,500
who can help us defeat the enemy.

465
00:43:47,666 --> 00:43:51,541
Please welcome General Charles de Gaulle!

466
00:43:55,666 --> 00:43:57,083
Here you are, General.

467
00:43:57,250 --> 00:43:59,166
You're getting on my nerves, Courcel!

468
00:43:59,333 --> 00:44:03,041
I'm not playing the fool again for those talc-stuffed English backsides!

469
00:44:04,875 --> 00:44:07,416
What does 'backsides stuffed with talc' mean?

470
00:44:37,291 --> 00:44:39,041
God save us all.

471
00:44:39,310 --> 00:44:49,130
Is he ever going to speak?

472
00:44:49,850 --> 00:44:52,630
What next? A blind pilot?

473
00:44:53,350 --> 00:44:54,470
A deaf admiral?

474
00:45:12,070 --> 00:45:13,330
Thank you. Thank you very much.

475
00:45:15,330 --> 00:45:16,510
Splendid.

476
00:45:16,510 --> 00:45:17,710
The mute general.

477
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:29,900
What, Blaise? Do I look like a locksmith to you?

478
00:45:33,625 --> 00:45:35,125
Oh my God...

479
00:45:35,291 --> 00:45:36,833
Dad...

480
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:38,083
Charles...

481
00:45:46,300 --> 00:45:50,160
Everything is all right now that you're here.

482
00:46:35,010 --> 00:46:38,290
All we have is the French Empire. And we don't even have that!

483
00:46:38,290 --> 00:46:41,870
Did Joan of Arc need concrete greaves to lift the siege of Orléans?

484
00:46:41,870 --> 00:46:44,850
Now concentrate and tell me what we have. I'm seeing Churchill in an hour.

485
00:46:46,690 --> 00:46:50,970
Tell him we have pilots without planes and captains of damaged ships.

486
00:46:52,070 --> 00:46:53,210
We do have a few recruits.

487
00:46:53,850 --> 00:46:54,710
Mostly civilians.

488
00:46:56,770 --> 00:46:58,410
You need weapons to fight a war.

489
00:46:59,250 --> 00:46:59,630
I know.

490
00:47:00,390 --> 00:47:02,410
But I need territories to convince Churchill.

491
00:47:02,910 --> 00:47:03,190
Pleven.

492
00:47:04,550 --> 00:47:06,390
Only one governor has answered your appeal.

493
00:47:08,290 --> 00:47:09,930
The governor of the New Hebrides.

494
00:47:13,530 --> 00:47:16,510
Then Free France might as well set up headquarters in the New Hebrides.

495
00:47:20,810 --> 00:47:22,850
The New Hebrides, I...

496
00:47:28,190 --> 00:47:31,090
A little farther east, General.

497
00:47:40,510 --> 00:47:44,110
And Dakar? Algiers? No word from either?

498
00:47:44,710 --> 00:47:46,670
No. Nothing from Cameroon either.

499
00:47:54,390 --> 00:47:58,570
The governor of Chad was ready to join
us, but he needed military support on the ground.

500
00:48:01,170 --> 00:48:06,190
We might as well send our imaginary battalion, armed with wooden swords.

501
00:48:08,550 --> 00:48:09,430
The element of surprise.

502
00:48:13,410 --> 00:48:15,590
Leclerc, you're going to Cameroon.

503
00:48:16,530 --> 00:48:17,330
Yes, General.

504
00:48:19,090 --> 00:48:23,350
This is madness, General. He'll be arrested
and executed before he takes a single step.

505
00:48:23,350 --> 00:48:25,270
And you, Pleven, to Chad.

506
00:48:26,170 --> 00:48:29,510
Er... I beg your pardon? Him? To Chad?

507
00:48:31,390 --> 00:48:34,250
I've never set foot in Africa, General.

508
00:48:42,670 --> 00:48:43,810
Very well, General.

509
00:48:59,590 --> 00:49:06,510
I asked you here, firstly, to express my
condolences in person for the fleet at Mers-el-Kébir.

510
00:49:09,230 --> 00:49:11,970
That was the most painful decision I've ever had to take.

511
00:49:13,530 --> 00:49:18,670
Which makes it that much harder to tell you we can't keep propping you up.

512
00:49:21,670 --> 00:49:23,270
We've tried, you've tried.

513
00:49:24,970 --> 00:49:27,190
But we need the Americans to join the war.

514
00:49:28,290 --> 00:49:30,470
And the Americans need solid allies

515
00:49:30,470 --> 00:49:35,850
With fueling stations, lines of communication, ports like Algiers or Dakar,

516
00:49:35,970 --> 00:49:37,270
and you promised to bring both of them,

517
00:49:38,290 --> 00:49:39,950
and even the entire French Empire, into the fight.

518
00:49:43,330 --> 00:49:44,810
And yet...

519
00:49:45,470 --> 00:49:48,230
We are going to retake Africa.

520
00:49:53,430 --> 00:49:54,470
I beg your pardon?

521
00:49:55,370 --> 00:49:58,990
What part of Africa are you talking about?

522
00:49:58,990 --> 00:50:01,200
I'm talking about Africa.

523
00:50:01,200 --> 00:50:02,060
Africa.

524
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:06,460
Starting with the heart of the continent: Chad.

525
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:09,180
Chad?

526
00:50:09,180 --> 00:50:10,120
It's very simple.

527
00:50:10,700 --> 00:50:14,320
Everything depends on a shortwave radio transmitter that happens to be...

528
00:50:18,440 --> 00:50:22,260
in Chad. First, a swift, bloodless takeover. My troops are ready.

529
00:50:22,860 --> 00:50:25,180
I only need the means to get them there.

530
00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:26,620
Second, the announcement.

531
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:31,760
News of Chad rallying to us spreads
over the airwaves, causing an uproar in Cameroon.

532
00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:35,100
From there, the domino effect becomes unstoppable.

533
00:50:35,460 --> 00:50:42,160
My troops recruit, rally support, mobilise,
and push on into Senegal to bring over...

534
00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:42,600
Dakar.

535
00:50:43,833 --> 00:50:44,791
But...

536
00:50:45,020 --> 00:50:48,900
But... it won't be enough to take a port like Dakar.

537
00:50:49,020 --> 00:50:49,520
Precisely.

538
00:50:50,760 --> 00:50:57,980
At the same time, in total secrecy, we launch a joint operation in Dakar Bay.

539
00:50:57,980 --> 00:51:06,660
British sailors and French infantrymen appear together
one fine morning to pluck the ripe fruit without firing a shot.

540
00:51:11,375 --> 00:51:13,041
Yes, I like it!

541
00:51:14,200 --> 00:51:18,280
Britain provides the muscle, France provides the words.

542
00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:19,400
If you like.

543
00:51:21,440 --> 00:51:26,280
Dakar. Crossroads of Africa, Europe and the Atlantic.

544
00:51:26,280 --> 00:51:29,120
Dakar. Capital of Free France.

545
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:33,680
Dakar. America's landing port.

546
00:51:34,940 --> 00:51:41,960
What do you need? I could have ten
aircraft for you by Saturday, twice that in a week.

547
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:42,840
One will suffice.

548
00:51:43,625 --> 00:51:46,208
Your entire troops, in one plane.

549
00:51:47,500 --> 00:51:49,240
A seaplane will do.

550
00:51:50,160 --> 00:51:53,740
A seaplane to decide the fate of Free France?

551
00:51:55,875 --> 00:51:57,125
General,

552
00:51:57,700 --> 00:52:03,400
I imagine that for such an extraordinary
adventure, you'll need an exceptional pilot.

553
00:52:03,680 --> 00:52:05,100
We'll provide you with a good pilot.

554
00:52:05,180 --> 00:52:06,480
I already have one.

555
00:52:06,800 --> 00:52:11,200
Our old crates fly beautifully, but they're
peculiar machines. They need a British touch.

556
00:52:11,280 --> 00:52:14,800
I'm not concerned. French pilots flew over Africa long before yours did.

557
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:16,580
And how many of them crashed?

558
00:52:16,920 --> 00:52:21,640
Frenchmen must be led into battle by Frenchmen. That seems obvious to me.

559
00:52:22,460 --> 00:52:24,740
No British pilot, no aeroplane.

560
00:52:28,500 --> 00:52:31,080
I'm afraid we've reached an impasse.

561
00:52:37,260 --> 00:52:37,840
Indeed.

562
00:52:40,260 --> 00:52:41,480
Jones. Your pilot.

563
00:52:41,500 --> 00:52:42,640
Marmier. Your pilot.

564
00:52:43,060 --> 00:52:43,740
At your service!

565
00:52:43,740 --> 00:52:44,460
At your orders, Captain.

566
00:52:44,760 --> 00:52:45,720
Two pilots for this wreck?

567
00:53:32,730 --> 00:53:36,470
In the presence of Mr. Pleven, Free France's Commissioner for Africa,

568
00:53:37,670 --> 00:53:41,430
I hereby proclaim Chad's allegiance to General de Gaulle.

569
00:54:01,840 --> 00:54:02,600
Lieutenant.

570
00:54:07,541 --> 00:54:08,291
Chad.

571
00:54:16,125 --> 00:54:19,958
The French Empire rises to resume the fight.

572
00:54:20,125 --> 00:54:22,916
The governor of Chad has just proved it.

573
00:54:29,660 --> 00:54:33,060
The former General de Gaulle is attacking our Empire.

574
00:54:33,580 --> 00:54:35,520
We're only talking about Chad, Marshal.

575
00:54:35,620 --> 00:54:37,880
Gentlemen, this makes no sense. De Gaulle has a plan.

576
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:39,700
Has Leclerc reached Cameroon?

577
00:54:43,100 --> 00:54:46,200
No. And Vichy has urgently sent border guards.

578
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:48,080
I'm sorry.

579
00:54:58,060 --> 00:54:58,580
Colonel!

580
00:55:06,930 --> 00:55:07,450
Turn back.

581
00:55:09,050 --> 00:55:09,610
No time.

582
00:55:10,090 --> 00:55:11,710
We're 15 kilometres from the palace.

583
00:55:13,490 --> 00:55:15,990
We can't risk Free France's future over two sentries.

584
00:55:16,310 --> 00:55:16,990
Give me your weapon.

585
00:55:17,390 --> 00:55:18,310
We're not going to shoot Frenchmen!

586
00:55:34,080 --> 00:55:36,480
The British have called three times. They want to cancel Dakar.

587
00:55:37,040 --> 00:55:37,620
What shall I tell them?

588
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:41,360
This whole business is madness.

589
00:55:43,800 --> 00:55:44,400
General.

590
00:55:44,940 --> 00:55:48,460
Reinforcements have been sent to the borders, and still no word from Leclerc.

591
00:55:56,630 --> 00:55:57,390
It's raining.

592
00:55:58,730 --> 00:56:00,030
Thank you, Blaise.

593
00:56:08,770 --> 00:56:09,850
Your weapon, Captain.

594
00:56:14,470 --> 00:56:17,130
If we kill a Frenchman, Free France will never be the same again.

595
00:56:36,333 --> 00:56:37,833
Now!

596
00:57:07,760 --> 00:57:08,340
Don't move!

597
00:57:10,100 --> 00:57:10,940
You! Stay where you are!

598
00:57:12,060 --> 00:57:13,540
Come on! Drop it!

599
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:16,400
Give me your weapon! Where's the governor?

600
00:57:16,980 --> 00:57:17,400
Upstairs!

601
00:57:22,760 --> 00:57:24,540
Would you invite me to breakfast, Governor?

602
00:57:32,540 --> 00:57:32,980
General!

603
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:34,700
Victory! Cameroon is ours!

604
00:57:41,880 --> 00:57:42,840
On to Dakar!

605
00:57:44,520 --> 00:57:47,180
Come on! Before Dakar, a little trip to the cellar!

606
00:58:12,708 --> 00:58:14,083
Barbarians.

607
00:58:53,770 --> 00:58:55,830
A hundred and twenty bombs today.

608
00:58:56,150 --> 00:58:56,510
I saw.

609
00:58:56,630 --> 00:59:02,790
Still, we have something to celebrate.
It seems your harebrained plan is working in Africa.

610
00:59:03,050 --> 00:59:03,430
Indeed.

611
00:59:04,110 --> 00:59:12,950
What nerve! You cunning fellow. That old-governess air fools everyone.

612
00:59:13,850 --> 00:59:15,930
I didn't realise it was Carnival.

613
00:59:17,416 --> 00:59:18,416
This?

614
00:59:19,208 --> 00:59:22,130
Well, not everyone can dress like the Unknown Soldier.

615
00:59:25,190 --> 00:59:31,230
I'll tell you something that you alone shall know.

616
00:59:32,470 --> 00:59:35,100
Do you know what my favourite song is?

617
00:59:36,950 --> 00:59:39,350
"If I Were the Only Girl in the World"?

618
00:59:44,450 --> 00:59:45,110
No.

619
00:59:45,416 --> 00:59:46,583
No.

620
00:59:50,970 --> 00:59:51,630
Well then...

621
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:01,460
Thank you, my friend.

622
01:00:10,180 --> 01:00:15,120
Everything afflicts and harms me, and conspires to hurt me.

623
01:00:17,100 --> 01:00:18,140
Thank you.

624
01:00:19,560 --> 01:00:21,240
It's going to be a splendid day.

625
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:23,480
Dakar.

626
01:00:25,300 --> 01:00:35,300
At dawn, the sun rises over the harbour. A
glorious sun. The people awaken to the sight of our armada.

627
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:42,560
And to their surprise, they see you addressing them from offshore.

628
01:00:43,180 --> 01:00:46,340
Onshore, our supporters cheer us.

629
01:00:46,340 --> 01:00:53,460
And that evening, they raise glasses of vintage
champagne with you to celebrate the final victory.

630
01:00:54,420 --> 01:00:54,600
Right?

631
01:00:55,220 --> 01:00:58,020
Meanwhile, your telephone rings.

632
01:00:59,740 --> 01:01:06,820
It's the President of the United States.
America enters the war. Hitler has lost, and you've won.

633
01:01:06,820 --> 01:01:07,720
Mm-hmm.

634
01:01:15,950 --> 01:01:25,310
When I see our soldiers marching joyfully, with music leading the way,

635
01:01:26,050 --> 01:01:33,110
I say, keeping in step: "How beautiful France is, as in days gone by."

636
01:01:33,110 --> 01:01:37,710
As in former times, I see our soldiers once again,

637
01:01:38,210 --> 01:01:45,290
Carnot proclaiming victory. March on to glory!

638
01:01:46,470 --> 01:01:50,270
My dear children, return triumphant!

639
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:01,840
That's my favourite song.

640
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:11,700
To audacity!

641
01:02:27,510 --> 01:02:29,830
We must stop the bleeding.

642
01:02:43,450 --> 01:02:44,050
Dakar.

643
01:03:02,400 --> 01:03:03,900
People of Dakar,

644
01:03:05,540 --> 01:03:11,560
this is General de Gaulle, leader of Free France. I stand before you

645
01:03:12,700 --> 01:03:14,120
with our British allies.

646
01:03:19,780 --> 01:03:21,460
We can't see anything in this fog.

647
01:03:27,500 --> 01:03:28,900
People of Dakar,

648
01:03:30,880 --> 01:03:37,020
answer my call and join me in the struggle to liberate France.

649
01:03:43,166 --> 01:03:44,708
It has just arrived.

650
01:03:53,270 --> 01:03:54,990
People of Dakar...

651
01:04:07,670 --> 01:04:09,930
Admiral Cunningham, prepare to attack.

652
01:04:10,330 --> 01:04:11,710
That was not the plan.

653
01:04:13,590 --> 01:04:14,430
Do it, Admiral.

654
01:04:28,250 --> 01:04:31,450
Who is attacking us from offshore? Dakar has no naval squadron!

655
01:04:31,570 --> 01:04:35,750
We've just learned that several French warships passed Gibraltar yesterday.

656
01:04:36,290 --> 01:04:39,730
Le Fantasque, Montcalm, Gloire... The French Navy.

657
01:04:42,070 --> 01:04:42,790
Darlan.

658
01:04:43,630 --> 01:04:44,490
We'll sink them.

659
01:04:50,320 --> 01:04:51,700
Churchill needs Dakar.

660
01:04:59,060 --> 01:05:00,400
Not at the cost of a civil war.

661
01:05:00,400 --> 01:05:01,240
A civil war between Frenchmen.

662
01:05:03,420 --> 01:05:04,400
Cease fire!

663
01:05:06,560 --> 01:05:11,880
General de Gaulle, you failed to rally
France's politicians or its armed forces.

664
01:05:13,540 --> 01:05:15,280
You've been given a second chance.

665
01:05:16,060 --> 01:05:20,480
This is it. Here and now. There won't be another.

666
01:05:22,860 --> 01:05:24,680
We do not fire upon Frenchmen.

667
01:05:32,750 --> 01:05:36,590
Very well. Keep your principles, and Darlan will keep Dakar.

668
01:05:37,930 --> 01:05:39,310
You'll bear the consequences.

669
01:05:44,625 --> 01:05:45,666
Stop everything!

670
01:05:45,833 --> 01:05:47,291
Cease fire!

671
01:05:57,916 --> 01:06:01,125
Congratulations, Admiral.

672
01:06:01,291 --> 01:06:02,875
I merely did my duty.

673
01:06:03,080 --> 01:06:10,560
You know, if you were more inclined to sympathise
with the Germans, you'd make a fine Prime Minister.

674
01:06:29,750 --> 01:06:31,333
- Prime Minister? - Mr. President.

675
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:35,020
I'm sure you've understood the American public doesn't want this war.

676
01:06:35,220 --> 01:06:39,640
How am I to bring them around if you
can't even take one lightly defended harbor?

677
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:43,600
It was a concatenation of circumstance and rotten luck.

678
01:06:44,140 --> 01:06:49,850
Please don't tell me about the fog. Your
quixotic general taught us one thing at least:

679
01:06:50,080 --> 01:06:51,100
He's useless.

680
01:06:51,620 --> 01:06:52,300
He thought...

681
01:06:52,300 --> 01:06:53,580
You thought.

682
01:06:53,580 --> 01:06:54,260
I thought...

683
01:06:54,260 --> 01:06:56,560
You anointed him in a fit of despair, didn't you?

684
01:06:57,460 --> 01:06:58,480
The Free French.

685
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:01,460
I'm amazed you believed in his fairy tale.

686
01:07:03,680 --> 01:07:09,340
It's clear now his kingdom is nothing but empty promises. Complete fiction.

687
01:07:14,010 --> 01:07:17,330
Mr. President, I take full responsibility for de Gaulle.

688
01:07:18,570 --> 01:07:22,170
Leaving Dakar aside, I think you could
agree that I put on a pretty good show altogether.

689
01:07:23,630 --> 01:07:27,270
Coming from a friendless island facing a continent of enemies.

690
01:07:27,270 --> 01:07:37,130
I believe that Britain and her empire would
be formidable allies. When you're ready, that is.

691
01:07:37,870 --> 01:07:40,530
Put your house in order, dear fellow. And do it now.

692
01:07:50,380 --> 01:07:51,420
Sir?

693
01:07:54,330 --> 01:07:55,970
We need to find someone else.

694
01:07:58,730 --> 01:08:00,450
I was wrong about de Gaulle.

695
01:08:31,800 --> 01:08:32,720
Courcel!

696
01:08:34,399 --> 01:08:36,160
We're going to join Leclerc in Cameroon.

697
01:08:38,180 --> 01:08:39,460
It's our last option.

698
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:01,100
We're on French territory.

699
01:09:03,140 --> 01:09:05,979
Look, Courcel. The vegetation is beginning.

700
01:09:08,580 --> 01:09:14,140
Look at those huts. They're large villages.
You can't see them, but there are enormous herds out there.

701
01:09:14,740 --> 01:09:16,939
It's a magnificent country.

702
01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,260
General, we've lost an engine!

703
01:09:28,640 --> 01:09:30,700
We're going to attempt an emergency landing!

704
01:09:33,380 --> 01:09:35,240
Hold on!

705
01:09:35,240 --> 01:09:38,819
Hold tight, Courcel!

706
01:09:49,040 --> 01:09:56,520
This century has brought us into an Age of
Iron, so that we may restore what is called the Golden Age.

707
01:10:01,120 --> 01:10:05,260
Last Thursday, I met the Chancellor of the Reich.

708
01:10:06,180 --> 01:10:11,460
This meeting has raised hopes and caused concern.

709
01:10:13,040 --> 01:10:16,340
I owe you some explanations.

710
01:10:17,920 --> 01:10:24,600
Such a meeting was possible, only four
months after the defeat of our armed forces,

711
01:10:24,940 --> 01:10:28,280
thanks to the dignity of the French people in the face of adversity.

712
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:34,420
And thanks, too, to the heroism of our sailors
and the determination of our colonial leaders.

713
01:10:37,140 --> 01:10:39,180
Fernand, sit back down!

714
01:10:39,180 --> 01:10:46,060
You little bastard!

715
01:10:46,060 --> 01:10:48,680
Put it back!

716
01:10:48,680 --> 01:10:51,680
Fernand, put it back and return to your seat!

717
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:52,590
Put it back!

718
01:10:53,830 --> 01:10:57,290
Bonnier! Bonnier de La Chapelle! Stop! Break it up!

719
01:10:57,916 --> 01:10:59,833
- Stop! - Break them up, damn it!

720
01:11:00,510 --> 01:11:01,370
Quite a start to the school year.

721
01:11:05,510 --> 01:11:07,850
Where are you from? Right here.

722
01:11:10,450 --> 01:11:12,220
I had to repeat a year.

723
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:33,800
You have a clandestine radio?

724
01:11:33,800 --> 01:11:38,600
My sister salvages parts from her shop, and we put them together.

725
01:11:38,980 --> 01:11:40,700
Pierre, what are you telling him?

726
01:11:40,700 --> 01:11:42,260
It's all right, Olivier. He's not with the 'tourists'.

727
01:11:43,460 --> 01:11:44,880
How do you know?

728
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:46,420
Remember the night of the capitulation?

729
01:11:47,060 --> 01:11:49,180
When I suggested an Arc de Triomphe rally,

730
01:11:49,440 --> 01:11:50,180
you said no one would be there.

731
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:51,860
Well, he was there.

732
01:11:55,720 --> 01:11:56,880
There were few of us, admittedly.

733
01:11:59,940 --> 01:12:00,420
Pleased to meet you, madam.

734
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:01,960
Fernand.

735
01:12:03,240 --> 01:12:04,980
He tilted a portrait of the Marshal during class.

736
01:12:05,580 --> 01:12:07,680
Without Professor Dressen, he'd be in hospital.

737
01:12:09,880 --> 01:12:11,560
What's the point of tilting a portrait?

738
01:12:12,360 --> 01:12:14,360
Do you think it'll drive the Germans away?

739
01:12:17,020 --> 01:12:17,700
I have to go.

740
01:12:18,100 --> 01:12:20,420
Wait, the curfew! There isn't a curfew.

741
01:12:20,480 --> 01:12:21,360
Mr. Hero!

742
01:12:22,940 --> 01:12:25,320
If you're so brave, is it too much to ask that you don't die stupidly?

743
01:12:29,050 --> 01:12:29,670
Goodbye, madam.

744
01:12:30,570 --> 01:12:32,290
They're planning a November 11 protest.

745
01:12:37,300 --> 01:12:38,720
That ought to annoy the tourists.

746
01:13:12,820 --> 01:13:13,920
General!

747
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:18,280
General, we've intercepted another message from London.

748
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:22,080
A five-star general has been received
by Churchill at Downing Street to replace you.

749
01:13:27,200 --> 01:13:28,760
Churchill lent him his personal aircraft.

750
01:13:30,440 --> 01:13:33,660
He's joined Pleven in Chad to place him under his command.

751
01:13:43,125 --> 01:13:46,833
When I see our soldiers...

752
01:13:47,910 --> 01:13:48,790
Marching joyfully...

753
01:13:49,330 --> 01:13:49,770
Thank you.

754
01:13:50,500 --> 01:13:53,791
Operation Five Star underway. De Gaulle to be replaced today.

755
01:14:43,610 --> 01:14:44,930
General?

756
01:14:48,550 --> 01:14:49,570
He should salute me first.

757
01:15:22,850 --> 01:15:23,810
At your orders, General.

758
01:15:26,010 --> 01:15:26,970
At ease, General.

759
01:15:42,730 --> 01:15:45,310
They're all very nice, but...

760
01:15:45,310 --> 01:15:47,810
if they think this is an easy job...

761
01:15:57,916 --> 01:15:59,250
Stand by!

762
01:16:01,166 --> 01:16:02,166
Stand by!

763
01:16:07,920 --> 01:16:09,900
Welcome to Free French territory, General.

764
01:16:31,560 --> 01:16:32,940
You are France, General.

765
01:16:32,940 --> 01:16:35,680
You are our hope.

766
01:16:37,040 --> 01:16:38,720
I know, Leclerc.

767
01:16:39,700 --> 01:16:40,180
I see.

768
01:16:47,000 --> 01:16:49,333
De Gaulle is rallying more and more African territories,

769
01:16:49,500 --> 01:16:52,750
establishing the capital of Free France in Brazzaville,

770
01:16:52,916 --> 01:16:54,291
his new headquarters.

771
01:16:54,458 --> 01:16:57,833
He has raised troops in Douala, Fort-Lamy, Yaoundé

772
01:16:58,000 --> 01:16:59,125
and Libreville.

773
01:16:59,791 --> 01:17:00,833
As for Vichy France,

774
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:04,000
it is turning towards collaboration.

775
01:17:04,166 --> 01:17:08,833
I freely accepted the Führer's invitation.

776
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:13,666
I was subjected to no diktat, no pressure from him.

777
01:17:13,833 --> 01:17:17,500
Collaboration between our two countries was proposed.

778
01:17:17,666 --> 01:17:20,125
I accepted the principle of it.

779
01:17:21,291 --> 01:17:23,500
So much for Darlan, whom we hoped to win over...

780
01:17:23,666 --> 01:17:26,708
He has declared Jews enemies of France.

781
01:17:26,875 --> 01:17:27,958
Very clever.

782
01:17:28,333 --> 01:17:30,000
That man is despicable.

783
01:17:30,166 --> 01:17:33,666
There is no longer a truly French government.

784
01:17:33,833 --> 01:17:35,041
Exactly!

785
01:17:35,750 --> 01:17:38,000
The organisation based in Vichy

786
01:17:38,166 --> 01:17:41,791
which claims to be the French government is unconstitutional

787
01:17:41,958 --> 01:17:44,666
and subject to the invader.

788
01:17:44,900 --> 01:17:52,100
A new authority must therefore assume the responsibility of governing France.

789
01:17:53,240 --> 01:17:56,720
Events have laid this sacred duty upon me.

790
01:17:59,420 --> 01:18:00,920
I shall not fail.

791
01:18:01,900 --> 01:18:06,500
French officers, French soldiers, French citizens,

792
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:13,180
senile leaders want to surrender France's intact Empire to the enemy.

793
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:15,180
Rise up!

794
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:17,350
To arms!

795
01:18:17,416 --> 01:18:20,416
I know exactly what you are going to say, Morton. Then I might as well say it.

796
01:18:22,090 --> 01:18:23,850
Do you want him, or do you want America?

797
01:18:24,330 --> 01:18:27,870
The enemy is already moving in on Egypt. We need real help.

798
01:18:28,150 --> 01:18:30,590
And again, wasn't Roosevelt explicit enough?

799
01:18:31,160 --> 01:18:32,800
But de Gaulle was right from the outset.

800
01:18:34,340 --> 01:18:35,860
The armistice was a slippery slope.

801
01:18:38,560 --> 01:18:40,180
Get Spears to bring him back.

802
01:18:41,040 --> 01:18:42,520
Well, I hope Spears can handle that.

803
01:18:43,220 --> 01:18:44,760
Just bring him back.

804
01:18:45,840 --> 01:18:47,360
I'll make him see reason.

805
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:52,220
I need this, this and this.

806
01:18:55,080 --> 01:18:59,360
Koenig, you will be the first to restore France's honour

807
01:18:59,360 --> 01:19:01,840
by resuming the fight against the enemy.

808
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:08,540
Are your men sufficiently trained? France cannot afford another capitulation.

809
01:19:09,416 --> 01:19:10,833
General, I repeat:

810
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:11,958
The Prime Minister...

811
01:19:11,959 --> 01:19:13,166
I hear you, Spears.

812
01:19:14,000 --> 01:19:15,040
Tell me when to call him.

813
01:19:15,958 --> 01:19:18,708
Naturally, he wants to see you in person.

814
01:19:19,080 --> 01:19:28,020
I'd be absolutely delighted to welcome your Prime
Minister here, in Brazzaville, capital of Free France.

815
01:19:28,780 --> 01:19:29,880
If I were you...

816
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:31,480
You're not de Gaulle, Spears.

817
01:19:33,500 --> 01:19:35,760
De Gaulle answers only to France.

818
01:19:40,050 --> 01:19:41,350
At least avoid the mosquitoes.

819
01:19:44,650 --> 01:19:49,370
Spears, mosquitoes do not bite General de Gaulle.

820
01:19:58,810 --> 01:20:00,130
General! General!

821
01:20:01,370 --> 01:20:04,130
With malaria, you must stay in bed. It's the only thing to do.

822
01:20:04,130 --> 01:20:05,010
November 11?

823
01:20:05,850 --> 01:20:06,790
Out of the question!

824
01:20:08,950 --> 01:20:10,290
Shame on Spears!

825
01:20:11,390 --> 01:20:17,450
That perfidious Briton came to threaten me with his mosquitoes!

826
01:20:17,850 --> 01:20:18,370
Unbelievable.

827
01:20:20,250 --> 01:20:24,450
I'm sorry to hear the mosquitoes don't obey you, General de Gaulle.

828
01:20:25,150 --> 01:20:25,910
Careful, Blaise.

829
01:20:27,130 --> 01:20:27,890
Blaise!

830
01:20:29,110 --> 01:20:32,690
He wants to lock us up in the Tower of London.

831
01:20:34,630 --> 01:20:34,990
Edward.

832
01:20:35,930 --> 01:20:36,590
It's the fever.

833
01:20:37,570 --> 01:20:38,290
Not entirely.

834
01:20:40,310 --> 01:20:41,430
It's hopeless.

835
01:20:42,530 --> 01:20:42,890
General...

836
01:20:43,210 --> 01:20:43,590
Good luck!

837
01:20:50,950 --> 01:20:51,690
I've run out.

838
01:20:51,910 --> 01:20:54,010
So have I. Well, I do have some, but...

839
01:20:54,010 --> 01:20:54,450
Give that back.

840
01:20:54,630 --> 01:20:54,950
Come on.

841
01:20:56,390 --> 01:20:57,410
Now it's all crumpled.

842
01:20:59,310 --> 01:21:01,370
Do you think it'll make a difference for de Gaulle?

843
01:21:01,370 --> 01:21:01,830
It depends.

844
01:21:02,530 --> 01:21:04,270
How many at the Arc de Triomphe?

845
01:21:04,270 --> 01:21:04,550
Three.

846
01:21:04,810 --> 01:21:05,110
If that.

847
01:21:07,130 --> 01:21:10,570
His boss at the shop says de Gaulle doesn't exist. There's no such person.

848
01:21:11,350 --> 01:21:13,730
Then who's that general speaking on the BBC?

849
01:21:13,730 --> 01:21:14,250
An actor.

850
01:21:15,170 --> 01:21:15,970
Paid by the British.

851
01:21:16,490 --> 01:21:16,630
Right.

852
01:21:17,650 --> 01:21:22,850
I've heard everything. De Gaulle, the Jews'
stooge. De Gaulle, London's whore. But this...

853
01:21:28,770 --> 01:21:31,690
What if there really are only three of us at the Arc de Triomphe?

854
01:21:32,710 --> 01:21:33,690
Then there'll be four.

855
01:21:35,710 --> 01:21:38,250
There'll always be some veteran of the Great War showing off his medal.

856
01:21:38,750 --> 01:21:39,510
At least we'll have him.

857
01:21:39,950 --> 01:21:40,910
Even if he doesn't fight.

858
01:21:43,410 --> 01:21:44,350
My father received the Croix de Guerre.

859
01:21:52,890 --> 01:21:53,210
Sorry.

860
01:21:54,430 --> 01:21:55,290
Is he dead?

861
01:21:55,290 --> 01:21:55,430
No.

862
01:21:56,450 --> 01:21:57,750
He moved to Algiers with a woman.

863
01:21:59,710 --> 01:22:00,410
He left me his medal.

864
01:22:06,760 --> 01:22:08,400
Six months older, and I could've fought.

865
01:22:09,420 --> 01:22:10,200
I wanted to join the tanks.

866
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:12,000
My uncle wouldn't let me lie about my age.

867
01:22:13,140 --> 01:22:13,680
Right, I'm finished.

868
01:22:14,320 --> 01:22:14,780
No more paper.

869
01:22:17,280 --> 01:22:19,720
I really don't know how we're going to distribute all these.

870
01:22:21,420 --> 01:22:22,360
I've thought of everything.

871
01:22:45,958 --> 01:22:48,666
At the Étoile, the Arc de Triomphe.

872
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:00,166
Quick!

873
01:23:47,458 --> 01:23:48,541
Come on!

874
01:23:53,708 --> 01:23:54,916
Pierre!

875
01:24:02,833 --> 01:24:04,041
Let's split up!

876
01:24:08,208 --> 01:24:09,166
Stop!

877
01:24:34,958 --> 01:24:36,708
At the Étoile.

878
01:24:36,875 --> 01:24:38,958
- Meet at the Arc de Triomphe. - Thanks.

879
01:24:40,875 --> 01:24:43,916
- Hi! Are you going to the protest? - It's already started.

880
01:24:44,291 --> 01:24:46,416
For Free France, anything is possible!

881
01:24:46,583 --> 01:24:48,500
Everyone to the Arc de Triomphe!

882
01:24:48,666 --> 01:24:51,250
- See you later. - Be careful!

883
01:24:52,041 --> 01:24:54,583
- This is madness! - Everyone to the Arc de Triomphe!

884
01:24:54,750 --> 01:24:56,750
Everyone to the Étoile!

885
01:24:56,916 --> 01:24:57,833
Professor Dressen!

886
01:25:12,375 --> 01:25:13,125
Long live...

887
01:25:13,291 --> 01:25:14,875
Are those gaules—fishing rods?

888
01:25:15,875 --> 01:25:18,291
- Long live... - Gaules!

889
01:25:19,041 --> 01:25:20,750
- What do you mean? - Long live...

890
01:25:20,916 --> 01:25:22,166
De Gaulle!

891
01:25:22,333 --> 01:25:23,583
Oh, gaules!

892
01:25:23,750 --> 01:25:26,125
- Long live... - DE GAULLE!

893
01:25:26,291 --> 01:25:28,083
- Long live... - DE GAULLE!

894
01:25:28,250 --> 01:25:30,750
- Long live... - DE GAULLE!

895
01:25:30,916 --> 01:25:32,791
- Long live... - DE GAULLE!

896
01:25:33,625 --> 01:25:36,125
- Long live... - DE GAULLE!

897
01:25:36,291 --> 01:25:38,375
- Long live... - DE GAULLE!

898
01:25:38,750 --> 01:25:39,666
Long live...

899
01:25:39,833 --> 01:25:41,500
DE GAULLE!

900
01:25:41,833 --> 01:25:42,666
Long live...

901
01:25:42,833 --> 01:25:44,666
DE GAULLE!

902
01:25:47,166 --> 01:25:49,208
- What you are doing is wonderful. - Thank you.

903
01:25:49,375 --> 01:25:50,875
Nice one, sis!

904
01:25:51,041 --> 01:25:52,166
Pierre!

905
01:25:52,500 --> 01:25:53,333
Well?

906
01:25:53,500 --> 01:25:54,708
Livia!

907
01:25:55,041 --> 01:25:56,166
Well?

908
01:25:56,333 --> 01:25:57,791
We really tilted the Marshal's portrait!

909
01:26:01,208 --> 01:26:02,458
We've taken back Paris.

910
01:26:04,875 --> 01:26:06,000
We'll take back France.

911
01:26:06,166 --> 01:26:08,333
Soon we'll be free.

912
01:26:09,708 --> 01:26:11,333
And you thought there'd only be three of us!

913
01:26:11,500 --> 01:26:13,041
Here, lend me your fishing rods.

914
01:26:13,833 --> 01:26:15,625
Make way for Free France!

915
01:26:15,791 --> 01:26:17,708
Make way for Free France!

916
01:26:17,875 --> 01:26:19,083
Watch out!

917
01:26:20,791 --> 01:26:22,375
How many do you think there are?

918
01:26:23,416 --> 01:26:25,791
One, two, three...

919
01:26:26,541 --> 01:26:27,291
Four.

920
01:26:27,458 --> 01:26:29,708
So, Fernand, flirting, are we?

921
01:26:29,875 --> 01:26:31,583
- Is your heart going boom? - What are you doing?

922
01:26:31,750 --> 01:26:32,458
Look!

923
01:26:34,541 --> 01:26:36,041
Come back here, you idiot!

924
01:26:36,208 --> 01:26:39,833
- Are we afraid of the Krauts? - NO!

925
01:26:42,083 --> 01:26:43,500
- Long live... - DE GAULLE!

926
01:26:43,666 --> 01:26:45,500
- Long live... - DE GAULLE!

927
01:26:46,958 --> 01:26:49,250
- Long live... - DE GAULLE!

928
01:26:49,958 --> 01:26:50,833
Long live...

929
01:26:51,000 --> 01:26:52,375
DE GAULLE!

930
01:26:52,541 --> 01:26:54,708
- Long live... - DE GAULLE!

931
01:26:55,875 --> 01:26:56,541
Livia!

932
01:27:29,625 --> 01:27:31,208
Professor Dressen!

933
01:27:32,333 --> 01:27:33,708
Professor!

934
01:27:46,208 --> 01:27:47,458
Pierre!

935
01:27:47,625 --> 01:27:48,750
Pierre!

936
01:27:50,083 --> 01:27:51,083
Livia!

937
01:27:52,833 --> 01:27:54,833
Don't stay here!

938
01:27:55,000 --> 01:27:56,416
Livia!

939
01:27:56,583 --> 01:27:58,041
My children...

940
01:27:59,500 --> 01:28:01,083
My children...

941
01:28:01,583 --> 01:28:02,833
France...

942
01:28:03,333 --> 01:28:04,458
France...

943
01:28:23,730 --> 01:28:24,130
Fernand.

944
01:28:24,990 --> 01:28:26,150
You're going to your father in Algiers.

945
01:28:27,310 --> 01:28:28,010
What?

946
01:28:28,010 --> 01:28:29,750
I've secured you a travel pass to Marseille.

947
01:28:29,750 --> 01:28:32,330
No arguments, Fernand.

948
01:28:33,210 --> 01:28:34,810
The Germans are searching people's homes.

949
01:28:35,930 --> 01:28:37,250
They're arresting protesters at home.

950
01:28:41,416 --> 01:28:42,166
Fernand!

951
01:28:42,500 --> 01:28:43,540
Fernand!

952
01:28:45,340 --> 01:28:47,440
Let go of me!

953
01:28:48,700 --> 01:28:49,740
Be reasonable.

954
01:28:53,590 --> 01:28:54,610
On one condition.

955
01:28:59,890 --> 01:29:01,930
I couldn't get a travel pass for her.

956
01:29:01,930 --> 01:29:04,110
She's Jewish?

957
01:29:08,458 --> 01:29:09,500
Get in.

958
01:29:37,875 --> 01:29:41,541
Demarcation line. Stop for inspection.

959
01:29:41,708 --> 01:29:44,000
Have your travel permits ready.

960
01:29:51,500 --> 01:29:56,250
JEWS ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN FROM CROSSING THE DEMARCATION LINE.

961
01:29:56,333 --> 01:29:59,083
- Identity check. - Stay where you are.

962
01:30:01,410 --> 01:30:02,170
Take mine.

963
01:30:03,430 --> 01:30:04,450
They won't check the name.

964
01:30:21,880 --> 01:30:22,600
Jean Moulin.

965
01:30:23,220 --> 01:30:23,880
I live here.

966
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:26,700
May I pass?

967
01:30:27,840 --> 01:30:28,580
Go ahead.

968
01:30:44,720 --> 01:30:45,620
Checkpoint. Documents, please.

969
01:30:46,060 --> 01:30:46,740
Your papers, please.

970
01:31:44,125 --> 01:31:47,208
Le Républicain d’Alger! Bombing in the Pacific!

971
01:31:47,375 --> 01:31:49,708
Two francs! Two francs!

972
01:31:49,875 --> 01:31:52,666
L’Écho d’Alger! Buy L’Écho d’Alger!

973
01:31:52,833 --> 01:31:54,458
Buy L’Écho d’Alger!

974
01:31:54,750 --> 01:31:57,416
Two francs! Two francs!

975
01:32:03,870 --> 01:32:04,190
Sarah.

976
01:32:05,430 --> 01:32:06,450
Still nothing for me?

977
01:32:06,450 --> 01:32:07,050
A letter.

978
01:32:07,250 --> 01:32:08,070
I gave it to your father.

979
01:32:09,830 --> 01:32:10,150
Thank you.

980
01:32:17,840 --> 01:32:18,200
Wait, Fernand.

981
01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:20,060
Wait, wait, wait!

982
01:32:20,060 --> 01:32:20,420
Hold on.

983
01:32:20,460 --> 01:32:20,960
You've got a letter.

984
01:32:21,320 --> 01:32:22,100
I left it on your bed.

985
01:32:22,480 --> 01:32:22,980
Good morning, Adrienne.

986
01:32:23,460 --> 01:32:25,060
Can you help her with her maths, Fernand?

987
01:32:25,060 --> 01:32:25,320
Of course.

988
01:32:25,880 --> 01:32:26,200
Mum?

989
01:32:26,820 --> 01:32:28,940
When can I go back to school?

990
01:32:28,940 --> 01:32:30,083
Ask Marshal Pétain.

991
01:32:30,250 --> 01:32:32,708
- Eugène! - Today, Jews have to stay home.

992
01:32:32,875 --> 01:32:34,541
What next? Yellow stars tomorrow?

993
01:32:36,250 --> 01:32:40,583
It's all right, Christiane. Usually we're the best at...

994
01:32:48,520 --> 01:32:49,580
I want to fight, Dad.

995
01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:52,680
A year ago,

996
01:32:53,220 --> 01:32:55,220
schoolchildren demonstrated in the heart of Paris,

997
01:32:55,220 --> 01:32:56,360
risking their lives.

998
01:32:56,500 --> 01:32:59,100
And you can't even get in touch with them!

999
01:32:59,660 --> 01:33:01,060
What do you do all day?

1000
01:33:01,060 --> 01:33:02,200
Passy!

1001
01:33:02,200 --> 01:33:05,100
I asked you to establish a foothold in the southern zone

1002
01:33:05,180 --> 01:33:06,360
and another in the occupied zone.

1003
01:33:06,540 --> 01:33:08,440
Simple, even for a Polytechnique graduate.

1004
01:33:08,440 --> 01:33:09,380
General,

1005
01:33:09,900 --> 01:33:11,680
every time a Frenchman manages to reach London,

1006
01:33:11,740 --> 01:33:13,720
the British take him in, and I never hear from him again.

1007
01:33:16,250 --> 01:33:17,083
General...

1008
01:33:20,375 --> 01:33:22,625
General, read this...

1009
01:33:29,530 --> 01:33:31,810
Germany has declared war on the United States.

1010
01:33:33,330 --> 01:33:34,050
Consequently...

1011
01:33:36,530 --> 01:33:37,990
America has entered the war.

1012
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:40,458
Thank God!

1013
01:33:46,610 --> 01:33:48,210
Ladies and gentlemen, we are no longer alone.

1014
01:34:00,320 --> 01:34:01,580
Churchill is going to Washington.

1015
01:34:02,340 --> 01:34:05,440
But he's asked us to suspend all operations against Vichy until further notice.

1016
01:34:07,660 --> 01:34:09,000
Muselier is off Saint-Pierre–Miquelon

1017
01:34:09,180 --> 01:34:10,220
with 3 corvettes and a submarine.

1018
01:34:10,480 --> 01:34:11,700
We must warn him immediately.

1019
01:34:14,200 --> 01:34:18,120
He's about to bring the islands over to Free France, but...

1020
01:34:18,120 --> 01:34:19,580
Only two tiny islands, General,

1021
01:34:19,580 --> 01:34:20,980
and one snowbound village.

1022
01:34:21,180 --> 01:34:22,400
We can easily leave them to Vichy.

1023
01:34:23,580 --> 01:34:27,620
America, only the world's 35th military power in 1940, is going to win the war

1024
01:34:27,620 --> 01:34:29,720
and become the sole master of the West.

1025
01:34:30,860 --> 01:34:32,160
But Britain will still...

1026
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:35,940
All the other countries will become its vassals, Britain included.

1027
01:34:36,020 --> 01:34:39,820
And in that new world, France will remain sovereign.

1028
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:45,380
But how?

1029
01:34:45,380 --> 01:34:48,840
You are right, Pleven. We need to make a statement.

1030
01:34:49,740 --> 01:34:52,300
Give Muselier the go-ahead. It's a matter of sovereignty.

1031
01:35:08,140 --> 01:35:09,020
Prime Minister!

1032
01:35:09,020 --> 01:35:09,680
Prime Minister!

1033
01:35:09,680 --> 01:35:11,080
Prime Minister!

1034
01:35:11,080 --> 01:35:11,140
Prime Minister!

1035
01:35:11,140 --> 01:35:12,120
A photograph, please!

1036
01:35:14,020 --> 01:35:14,560
Prime Minister!

1037
01:35:14,560 --> 01:35:15,140
Prime Minister!

1038
01:35:15,140 --> 01:35:15,960
Prime Minister!

1039
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:16,820
Prime Minister!

1040
01:35:16,820 --> 01:35:17,420
Prime Minister!

1041
01:35:17,420 --> 01:35:18,180
Prime Minister!

1042
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:20,580
Do you approve of what the Secretary of State said?

1043
01:35:20,580 --> 01:35:22,000
I suppose I do. Why?

1044
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:26,270
He said, quote, the so-called free French must immediately
withdraw their ships from Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.

1045
01:35:26,270 --> 01:35:27,020
End of quote.

1046
01:35:27,030 --> 01:35:29,080
To your left! To your left, please!

1047
01:35:29,140 --> 01:35:30,860
I beg your pardon, what ships?

1048
01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:33,240
Prime Minister!

1049
01:35:33,240 --> 01:35:33,860
Prime Minister!

1050
01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:35,940
Prime Minister!

1051
01:35:35,940 --> 01:35:38,880
Your Don Quixote!

1052
01:35:39,480 --> 01:35:42,940
Your Don Quixote, garnering the support
of my journalists with his crazed adventures!

1053
01:35:43,625 --> 01:35:45,458
I mean, what am I to say?

1054
01:35:47,291 --> 01:35:50,541
Mr. President, we need a landing soon.

1055
01:35:51,125 --> 01:35:52,833
We're on our knees.

1056
01:35:53,080 --> 01:35:57,160
We haven't the planes, the ships, the men to hold out much longer.

1057
01:35:58,000 --> 01:36:01,480
The Germans are building up their presence in North Africa.

1058
01:36:01,940 --> 01:36:03,820
We cannot fight everywhere at once.

1059
01:36:04,980 --> 01:36:07,960
I am sympathetic to your plight, Prime Minister.

1060
01:36:09,380 --> 01:36:13,080
But I dare say it would help if my administration

1061
01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:18,200
didn't take a hit every time your general
gets it into his head to seize another slice of France.

1062
01:36:19,060 --> 01:36:27,640
Look, perhaps, since we are now together, we should
be talking about more important things than Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, such as the landing.

1063
01:36:27,680 --> 01:36:31,220
Yes, yes, but Prime Minister, first we want to fix this.

1064
01:36:33,820 --> 01:36:35,620
General, he is here.

1065
01:36:39,180 --> 01:36:42,760
Mr. Moulin, I'm glad you managed to reach London.

1066
01:36:47,080 --> 01:36:50,280
What became of the young protesters from November 11?

1067
01:36:50,280 --> 01:36:55,120
It's difficult to know. Some are rotting
in prison, others have gone underground.

1068
01:36:56,380 --> 01:37:01,320
At the Arc de Triomphe, they achieved what our army was unable to do.

1069
01:37:01,820 --> 01:37:02,880
They lit a spark.

1070
01:37:03,680 --> 01:37:08,360
And Vichy will have to reckon with it.
Resistance networks are forming everywhere.

1071
01:37:15,330 --> 01:37:16,610
Are they well established?

1072
01:37:17,790 --> 01:37:25,310
General, they're isolated, scattered and poorly
organised. No weapons, no communications, no orders.

1073
01:37:26,930 --> 01:37:28,750
But they're burning with anger. They want to fight.

1074
01:37:29,130 --> 01:37:30,610
Do they know about our actions?

1075
01:37:31,330 --> 01:37:33,510
The attack on Mers-el-Kébir has left its mark.

1076
01:37:34,590 --> 01:37:35,290
Dakar too.

1077
01:37:36,390 --> 01:37:38,210
Propaganda says you've sold out to the British.

1078
01:37:39,770 --> 01:37:41,750
But Saint-Pierre and Miquelon has proved otherwise.

1079
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:49,060
But again, we should be talking about something
more important than the Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon.

1080
01:37:49,060 --> 01:37:53,040
But, Prime Minister, an island just off our coast.

1081
01:37:53,820 --> 01:37:57,620
We cannot have your men launching an attack against it.

1082
01:37:57,860 --> 01:38:01,560
It simply won't do, my God. Wasn't Dakar enough?

1083
01:38:01,730 --> 01:38:06,710
The American people are not going to put up with these adventures in chivalry.

1084
01:38:07,370 --> 01:38:13,930
Not when we're asking them to fight an
enemy that is powerful, ruthless and fairly rational.

1085
01:38:14,490 --> 01:38:16,030
An enemy that isn't tilting at windmills.

1086
01:38:17,850 --> 01:38:19,210
Can we establish contact with them?

1087
01:38:19,790 --> 01:38:20,570
Can we get aircraft?

1088
01:38:20,970 --> 01:38:22,650
At each full moon, with lights out,

1089
01:38:23,530 --> 01:38:25,670
if the British agree. All the logistics depend on them.

1090
01:38:26,910 --> 01:38:28,070
I'll go back at the next full moon.

1091
01:38:29,330 --> 01:38:30,110
I'll need a radio.

1092
01:38:31,270 --> 01:38:34,190
Mr. Prefect, your value to us here is immeasurable.

1093
01:38:34,570 --> 01:38:36,030
Over there, you'd be a prime target.

1094
01:38:36,550 --> 01:38:38,390
I cannot risk losing you.

1095
01:38:39,050 --> 01:38:40,090
General, I know the terrain.

1096
01:38:41,190 --> 01:38:42,690
I can best serve France there.

1097
01:38:46,340 --> 01:38:47,800
I'll write under the name Rex.

1098
01:38:55,070 --> 01:38:55,850
Mr. President.

1099
01:38:57,590 --> 01:38:58,990
You have my word.

1100
01:38:59,210 --> 01:39:01,490
From now on, everything will run smoothly.

1101
01:39:02,650 --> 01:39:04,490
I'll deal with de Gaulle.

1102
01:39:20,520 --> 01:39:21,320
Sir, please.

1103
01:39:36,860 --> 01:39:37,900
General de Gaulle.

1104
01:39:38,160 --> 01:39:38,900
General.

1105
01:39:43,375 --> 01:39:45,291
I asked you to come here this afternoon.

1106
01:39:45,458 --> 01:39:46,650
I've invited you here.

1107
01:39:47,150 --> 01:39:49,570
I never said "General", or that I had invited him.

1108
01:39:53,760 --> 01:39:55,120
General, you've been summoned.

1109
01:39:56,380 --> 01:39:57,160
I understood perfectly.

1110
01:39:59,980 --> 01:40:01,100
I have nothing to say to you.

1111
01:40:02,700 --> 01:40:03,700
I have nothing to say to you.

1112
01:40:03,700 --> 01:40:05,260
No, go on. Go on.

1113
01:40:06,740 --> 01:40:07,960
Peake, translate.

1114
01:40:09,440 --> 01:40:14,340
Mr. Peake of the Foreign Office has the
dubious honour of becoming your new liaison officer,

1115
01:40:14,680 --> 01:40:16,460
replacing General Spears.

1116
01:40:17,340 --> 01:40:18,780
I will have the privilege.

1117
01:40:18,800 --> 01:40:20,700
Spears has an oversized ego.

1118
01:40:21,920 --> 01:40:24,240
But he also has a friend in the Prime Minister.

1119
01:40:24,780 --> 01:40:26,240
General Spears has a friend.

1120
01:40:26,680 --> 01:40:27,780
Yes, thank you.

1121
01:40:28,420 --> 01:40:29,200
That will be all. Thank you.

1122
01:40:34,930 --> 01:40:36,790
What the hell do you think you're playing at?

1123
01:40:37,500 --> 01:40:39,040
Over those miserable little islands?

1124
01:40:39,150 --> 01:40:40,150
They're French islands!

1125
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:41,760
When we have so much at stake!

1126
01:40:44,770 --> 01:40:49,230
If you'd waited just one week, I could have given my consent.

1127
01:40:49,350 --> 01:40:52,490
Ah, you needed to ask America's permission.

1128
01:40:53,370 --> 01:40:56,830
I thought Great Britain was a sovereign nation.

1129
01:40:57,580 --> 01:40:58,160
My mistake.

1130
01:41:03,150 --> 01:41:04,290
Tell me, General.

1131
01:41:05,350 --> 01:41:10,150
Does Admiral Muselier know you ordered
him to land against my express instructions?

1132
01:41:10,800 --> 01:41:13,360
I do not interfere in the internal affairs of the British government.

1133
01:41:14,020 --> 01:41:16,920
I trust you'll do the same when it comes to French affairs.

1134
01:41:17,130 --> 01:41:17,790
Of course.

1135
01:41:19,410 --> 01:41:25,710
But let me say, I'm finding this admiral, this
high-ranking admiral, increasingly pleasant to work with.

1136
01:41:25,930 --> 01:41:30,950
I find him rational, congenial, the qualities one looks for in a leader.

1137
01:41:32,490 --> 01:41:35,530
Except, remember, there was a slight issue with cocaine.

1138
01:41:35,830 --> 01:41:37,150
That was all a misunderstanding.

1139
01:41:37,650 --> 01:41:40,570
Right now, we need to put an end to this Saint-Pierre and Miquelon rigmarole.

1140
01:41:57,070 --> 01:41:59,150
Give the islands back to Darlan? To Pétain?

1141
01:42:00,490 --> 01:42:01,450
You must be joking!

1142
01:42:02,330 --> 01:42:06,870
How can you support those who collaborate
with Hitler against those who fight him?

1143
01:42:06,870 --> 01:42:11,060
You'll sign this memorandum, or Muselier will sign it for you.

1144
01:42:11,190 --> 01:42:15,810
You're not fighting Hitler. You're fighting me!

1145
01:42:17,690 --> 01:42:18,510
Look at yourself!

1146
01:42:19,570 --> 01:42:23,490
Germany, Italy and Japan aren't enough for you?

1147
01:42:23,490 --> 01:42:27,110
You want to fight Britain and America as well?

1148
01:42:27,250 --> 01:42:30,410
I'll take that as a joke in very poor taste.

1149
01:42:30,870 --> 01:42:35,090
Because if there's one man the British have been able to count on, it's me.

1150
01:42:35,690 --> 01:42:40,490
You? You've caused us more trouble than all the other governments put together!

1151
01:42:41,750 --> 01:42:46,450
The files concerning you take up more space than all the others combined!

1152
01:42:46,710 --> 01:42:50,090
Naturally. France is a great power.

1153
01:42:53,710 --> 01:42:59,350
General de Gaulle, when I recognised you, I hoped you would be able to help us.

1154
01:42:59,730 --> 01:43:04,790
You have failed, and we'll have to change our strategy.

1155
01:43:08,370 --> 01:43:16,130
So you're ending the alliance between France and Britain.

1156
01:43:16,330 --> 01:43:17,770
Between de Gaulle and Britain.

1157
01:43:17,770 --> 01:43:20,690
Then why are you talking to de Gaulle if he isn't France?

1158
01:43:20,690 --> 01:43:22,630
You are not France!

1159
01:43:25,430 --> 01:43:30,350
I do not recognise you as France!

1160
01:43:45,870 --> 01:43:47,770
Always a pleasure to see you, madam.

1161
01:43:48,110 --> 01:43:48,470
General.

1162
01:43:50,450 --> 01:43:50,990
Mrs. Churchill.

1163
01:43:56,250 --> 01:43:59,310
What a charming man!

1164
01:44:00,050 --> 01:44:05,230
You mustn't be sentimental with the British.
Bang your fist on the table, and they fold like pancakes.

1165
01:44:06,710 --> 01:44:08,390
Gentlemen, please, let me through.

1166
01:44:08,530 --> 01:44:09,270
Calm down, calm down.

1167
01:44:10,590 --> 01:44:12,950
Admiral, what is the meaning of this?

1168
01:44:12,950 --> 01:44:15,350
Downing Street asked me to put an end to this recklessness.

1169
01:44:17,410 --> 01:44:19,330
Please, let him through.

1170
01:44:19,690 --> 01:44:22,050
A mutiny? In the middle of a war?

1171
01:44:22,050 --> 01:44:23,750
You will retain your position, Pleven.

1172
01:44:25,090 --> 01:44:29,690
And you, de Gaulle, I'm offering you the governorship of Chad.

1173
01:44:35,710 --> 01:44:37,650
This is sheer madness.

1174
01:44:39,710 --> 01:44:40,310
Stand aside.

1175
01:44:48,630 --> 01:44:49,916
Present arms!

1176
01:45:11,150 --> 01:45:12,110
He's gone, sir.

1177
01:45:13,410 --> 01:45:16,530
He's shut himself away at his house in Hampstead, with his wife and daughter.

1178
01:45:20,291 --> 01:45:21,291
Dad!

1179
01:45:24,083 --> 01:45:25,458
Dad.

1180
01:45:29,840 --> 01:45:30,920
She loves Hampstead.

1181
01:45:32,060 --> 01:45:33,180
And you?

1182
01:45:33,180 --> 01:45:33,540
Very much.

1183
01:45:36,520 --> 01:45:38,780
Remember: they burned Joan of Arc.

1184
01:46:30,250 --> 01:46:31,530
Watch out! Come on!

1185
01:46:33,958 --> 01:46:35,541
Fernand!

1186
01:46:36,410 --> 01:46:37,110
Thank you, Dad.

1187
01:46:42,010 --> 01:46:43,770
Come along, sweetheart.

1188
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:48,125
Come on.

1189
01:47:17,820 --> 01:47:18,240
Fernand,

1190
01:47:20,320 --> 01:47:23,400
By writing to you, I'm breaking the rules I set for myself.

1191
01:47:25,380 --> 01:47:27,720
But yesterday, I learned that Pierre had been executed.

1192
01:47:30,260 --> 01:47:32,100
I know he would have wanted me to tell you.

1193
01:47:52,690 --> 01:47:55,170
In Paris, there were so few of us who could speak openly to one another.

1194
01:47:56,390 --> 01:47:57,310
And understand one another.

1195
01:47:58,450 --> 01:47:59,310
Until that day.

1196
01:47:59,310 --> 01:48:03,670
The most beautiful and most terrible day of my life.

1197
01:48:06,370 --> 01:48:09,050
On the station platform, I realised I had to disappear.

1198
01:48:12,210 --> 01:48:13,190
Goodbye, Fernand.

1199
01:48:15,230 --> 01:48:16,310
You meant a great deal to him.

1200
01:48:49,750 --> 01:48:54,090
Hitler's Afrika Korps continues to wreak
havoc against the British in North Africa,

1201
01:48:54,590 --> 01:48:57,430
eroding confidence in Churchill's military strategy.

1202
01:48:58,410 --> 01:48:59,550
The tide is turning, Winston.

1203
01:49:00,670 --> 01:49:03,890
We lose North Africa means we lose the Mediterranean and then the war.

1204
01:49:03,890 --> 01:49:08,590
Our men are outgunned and outnumbered by Rommel's 30,000 soldiers and tanks.

1205
01:49:08,990 --> 01:49:10,830
Rommel's victorious offensive continues.

1206
01:49:11,850 --> 01:49:15,650
Our forces had to abandon El Agheila and retreat to Tobruk.

1207
01:49:16,490 --> 01:49:18,930
With Rommel advancing and allies on the defensive,

1208
01:49:18,930 --> 01:49:20,450
Rommel is now closing in on Tobruk.

1209
01:49:20,470 --> 01:49:22,290
what would a loss of Tobruk mean for the Allies?

1210
01:49:22,290 --> 01:49:25,750
If he succeeds, it will give him free access to Egypt,

1211
01:49:26,370 --> 01:49:28,770
leaving the British no choice but to surrender and lose the war.

1212
01:49:29,550 --> 01:49:30,970
and lose the war.

1213
01:49:38,390 --> 01:49:39,270
This is London.

1214
01:49:39,930 --> 01:49:43,470
North Africa changes color on the map and becomes more and more German.

1215
01:49:43,910 --> 01:49:50,050
Free French forces in the region wonder what
awaits them if the British are defeated in the coming days.

1216
01:50:05,030 --> 01:50:07,150
If Rommel takes Egypt, he takes the Suez Canal.

1217
01:50:08,190 --> 01:50:10,270
We cannot fight a war without oil.

1218
01:50:10,710 --> 01:50:12,030
Give me a minute, Anthony.

1219
01:50:23,520 --> 01:50:24,020
Bir Hakeim.

1220
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:29,360
That's almost all of our 8th Army trapped in Tobruk, sir.

1221
01:50:31,200 --> 01:50:32,440
It's a total disaster.

1222
01:50:38,690 --> 01:50:40,350
Why can't our men fall back?

1223
01:50:40,830 --> 01:50:42,170
Because there's not enough time.

1224
01:50:42,650 --> 01:50:44,870
The Germans could show up tomorrow or the next day.

1225
01:50:48,790 --> 01:50:49,850
What's that?

1226
01:50:49,850 --> 01:50:53,250
Bir Hakeim, sir. It's a little outpost in the desert.

1227
01:50:53,670 --> 01:50:56,610
There are only 3,000 under-equipped, free French soldiers.

1228
01:50:56,890 --> 01:50:59,070
We cannot ask them to hold out against Rommel.

1229
01:51:00,530 --> 01:51:01,590
Why not?

1230
01:51:01,590 --> 01:51:04,210
Because that would be as cruel as it would be pointless.

1231
01:51:04,410 --> 01:51:06,490
Rommel's closing in with 30,000 men, sir.

1232
01:51:06,970 --> 01:51:10,550
Tanks, artillery, aircraft...

1233
01:51:11,390 --> 01:51:16,170
But the longer they hold out, the more of our men we save in Tobruk, correct?

1234
01:51:19,070 --> 01:51:22,310
And they will fight till the bitter end for de Gaulle.

1235
01:51:24,610 --> 01:51:24,930
Let's uncage him.

1236
01:51:25,610 --> 01:51:26,530
Who, sir?

1237
01:51:26,530 --> 01:51:28,010
The Beast of Hampstead.

1238
01:51:28,450 --> 01:51:30,710
No, that's a hell of a sacrifice to ask of him, Winston.

1239
01:51:35,090 --> 01:51:36,350
I won't have to ask.

1240
01:52:13,530 --> 01:52:14,590
Welcome back, General.

1241
01:52:22,510 --> 01:52:25,770
Why send our soldiers into this bloodbath?

1242
01:52:25,770 --> 01:52:28,970
The British have lost Cyrenaica. They'll lose Tobruk too.

1243
01:52:29,370 --> 01:52:33,210
And having General Koenig and our only
brigade massacred ten to one won't change that.

1244
01:52:33,950 --> 01:52:34,790
It's suicide.

1245
01:52:35,630 --> 01:52:38,930
What is a Free Frenchman, gentlemen?

1246
01:52:41,380 --> 01:52:47,640
A man with the courage to stand against not ten Germans, but a thousand.

1247
01:52:49,860 --> 01:52:51,640
It's certain death for our soldiers.

1248
01:52:52,140 --> 01:52:53,760
And all this to protect Churchill?

1249
01:52:53,760 --> 01:52:58,940
Churchill and France! Better death than
surrender. That is the very purpose of Free France.

1250
01:52:58,940 --> 01:52:59,740
But why?

1251
01:52:59,740 --> 01:53:04,540
We've inspired hope. We cannot sacrifice Free France in a single battle.

1252
01:53:09,710 --> 01:53:11,130
And if they're forced to surrender?

1253
01:53:18,740 --> 01:53:25,000
France did not surrender in 1940. She will not surrender now.

1254
01:53:29,120 --> 01:53:37,080
Tell Koenig that all France is watching
him and his men, and that they are her pride.

1255
01:54:03,700 --> 01:54:05,300
The last mine-layer is back.

1256
01:54:07,640 --> 01:54:08,940
All the mines are laid.

1257
01:54:10,420 --> 01:54:12,860
General?

1258
01:54:12,860 --> 01:54:14,620
The minefield perimeter is ready.

1259
01:54:20,400 --> 01:54:23,080
General?

1260
01:54:33,190 --> 01:54:34,170
Koenig speaking.

1261
01:54:34,770 --> 01:54:35,690
Corporal Hubert.

1262
01:54:35,930 --> 01:54:36,510
Major Imogène.

1263
01:54:36,970 --> 01:54:37,710
Corporal Dutertre.

1264
01:54:38,530 --> 01:54:42,170
First, we must expect a combined-arms attack:

1265
01:54:42,170 --> 01:54:49,850
artillery, infantry, tanks and aircraft. And it will be a powerful one.

1266
01:54:50,990 --> 01:54:56,490
First, we must expect a combined-arms attack.

1267
01:54:57,333 --> 01:54:59,625
ARTILLERY, INFANTRY, AIRCRAFT...

1268
01:55:00,310 --> 01:55:05,290
Second, I reaffirm my confidence that each of you will do his duty,

1269
01:55:07,390 --> 01:55:10,470
without faltering, at his assigned post.

1270
01:55:10,910 --> 01:55:13,170
Second: I trust each of you to do your duty,

1271
01:55:13,410 --> 01:55:15,470
without faltering, at his assigned post.

1272
01:55:16,810 --> 01:55:17,610
Whether cut off from the others or not.

1273
01:55:17,930 --> 01:55:18,830
Whether cut off or not.

1274
01:55:19,190 --> 01:55:20,350
Whether cut off or not.

1275
01:55:20,470 --> 01:55:24,470
Third, today, France takes up arms against Germany once again.

1276
01:55:25,810 --> 01:55:27,490
Our mission is to hold out to the end.

1277
01:55:28,708 --> 01:55:29,583
Fourth,

1278
01:55:30,510 --> 01:55:31,810
Fourth, good luck to you all.

1279
01:55:34,210 --> 01:55:35,050
Good luck to you all.

1280
01:55:35,541 --> 01:55:37,458
- Good luck to you all. - Good luck to you all.

1281
01:55:38,390 --> 01:55:40,010
To your battle stations!

1282
01:55:40,208 --> 01:55:42,333
To your posts!

1283
01:56:26,470 --> 01:56:27,750
Fire! Fire!

1284
01:56:27,958 --> 01:56:29,541
- Load! - Load! Fire!

1285
01:57:02,833 --> 01:57:03,708
It's working!

1286
01:57:05,250 --> 01:57:05,770
Yes!

1287
01:57:06,830 --> 01:57:08,090
We'll give them hell!

1288
01:57:20,708 --> 01:57:22,500
Fall back!

1289
01:57:24,500 --> 01:57:25,125
Good.

1290
01:57:26,540 --> 01:57:27,960
It's a resurrection.

1291
01:57:29,140 --> 01:57:36,880
For the first time since 1940, a force of French
fighters is bearing the full brunt of the Axis armies.

1292
01:57:37,540 --> 01:57:43,400
Whatever the outcome of this battle, Bir Hakeim
proves to the world something no longer taken for granted.

1293
01:57:44,800 --> 01:57:47,080
France is not dead.

1294
01:57:56,833 --> 01:57:57,666
Alert!

1295
01:58:01,630 --> 01:58:05,230
General, five German tanks have broken through
our defensive line 1,200 metres to the northwest.

1296
01:58:05,270 --> 01:58:05,870
Get me the Thirteenth.

1297
01:58:07,430 --> 01:58:10,110
Artillery, open up a barrage. Five rounds per gun.

1298
01:58:33,833 --> 01:58:35,375
Correction, 200 metres.

1299
01:58:37,875 --> 01:58:38,875
Load!

1300
01:59:02,791 --> 01:59:04,500
Fucking hell!

1301
01:59:13,250 --> 01:59:15,330
For God's sake, the French can't hold forever!

1302
01:59:16,910 --> 01:59:19,350
Can't we move any faster? It's been almost three days!

1303
01:59:32,250 --> 01:59:34,850
Chancellor Hitler's message is quite clear.

1304
01:59:35,130 --> 01:59:41,590
French prisoners, white and non-white, captured
at Bir Hakeim who do not belong to a regular army will be hanged.

1305
01:59:41,810 --> 01:59:46,790
The Gaullist renegades are nothing but young
thugs, degenerate Jews and wretched mercenaries.

1306
01:59:47,610 --> 01:59:48,810
They are a disgrace to France.

1307
02:00:21,360 --> 02:00:24,660
General, there's a breach 2,000 metres to the northwest.

1308
02:00:26,020 --> 02:00:26,900
Coordinates?

1309
02:00:26,900 --> 02:00:27,400
Four hundred.

1310
02:00:28,400 --> 02:00:30,040
Damn it! The minefield won't hold!

1311
02:00:30,480 --> 02:00:30,920
Three ninety.

1312
02:00:31,420 --> 02:00:32,220
The mortars are dry!

1313
02:00:32,380 --> 02:00:32,900
We're out of shells!

1314
02:00:34,920 --> 02:00:35,840
There's only one solution.

1315
02:00:37,120 --> 02:00:37,680
Get me the Thirteenth.

1316
02:00:39,880 --> 02:00:41,040
Imogène, Koenig speaking.

1317
02:00:41,780 --> 02:00:42,480
Launch the assault.

1318
02:00:50,833 --> 02:00:51,541
Advance!

1319
02:00:57,750 --> 02:00:59,458
Fire!

1320
02:01:01,791 --> 02:01:03,208
Cover each other!

1321
02:01:05,833 --> 02:01:06,958
Advance!

1322
02:01:13,833 --> 02:01:15,041
Advance!

1323
02:01:22,958 --> 02:01:24,250
Grenade!

1324
02:01:30,520 --> 02:01:30,820
Close!

1325
02:01:31,280 --> 02:01:31,800
Get me Hubert!

1326
02:01:33,400 --> 02:01:35,380
Correction, 300 metres.

1327
02:01:35,875 --> 02:01:37,166
- Quickly! - Go!

1328
02:01:41,890 --> 02:01:44,110
Hubert, confirm!

1329
02:02:59,100 --> 02:03:02,940
As the situation at Bir Hakeim grows
increasingly desperate for the Free French,

1330
02:03:03,100 --> 02:03:04,940
after the shameful capitulation of 1940,

1331
02:03:05,800 --> 02:03:08,200
France now faces a similar fate in North Africa.

1332
02:03:08,800 --> 02:03:10,180
De Gaulle's relentless stubbornness

1333
02:03:10,440 --> 02:03:12,240
is putting France's fate at stake.

1334
02:03:12,700 --> 02:03:14,860
Only a madman would continue this battle

1335
02:03:14,940 --> 02:03:16,160
as German forces close in,

1336
02:03:16,840 --> 02:03:18,260
surrounding them on every side.

1337
02:03:18,700 --> 02:03:20,160
Surrender now seems inevitable.

1338
02:04:05,150 --> 02:04:06,220
Take cover!

1339
02:04:07,630 --> 02:04:08,330
Camerini!

1340
02:04:08,330 --> 02:04:09,190
Leave him.

1341
02:04:09,990 --> 02:04:10,950
Let them carry on.

1342
02:05:58,030 --> 02:05:59,110
Situation report.

1343
02:05:59,850 --> 02:06:02,450
First, the enemy is reinforcing its positions.

1344
02:06:03,130 --> 02:06:05,570
Second, our defensive lines have sustained heavy damage.

1345
02:06:05,990 --> 02:06:06,450
But we're holding.

1346
02:06:07,490 --> 02:06:09,150
Our supply routes have been cut.

1347
02:06:10,370 --> 02:06:12,210
We've lost our escape corridor.

1348
02:06:48,190 --> 02:06:48,890
They've worn down the enemy.

1349
02:06:48,910 --> 02:06:49,570
They've held out for fifteen days.

1350
02:06:50,770 --> 02:06:51,850
Even if they must surrender,

1351
02:06:52,210 --> 02:06:53,450
it's a remarkable achievement, General.

1352
02:07:11,760 --> 02:07:13,600
The Thirteenth has suffered enormous losses.

1353
02:07:14,200 --> 02:07:15,000
They need reinforcements.

1354
02:08:06,583 --> 02:08:08,875
Well done, Prime Minister.

1355
02:08:14,830 --> 02:08:16,270
The British!

1356
02:08:22,170 --> 02:08:24,390
The Eighth Army is now safe

1357
02:08:26,750 --> 02:08:28,270
and ready to give

1358
02:08:29,910 --> 02:08:30,930
the Germans a warm welcome.

1359
02:08:34,833 --> 02:08:36,041
Bravo...

1360
02:08:39,958 --> 02:08:41,500
and thank you very much.

1361
02:08:41,910 --> 02:08:44,490
They're waiting for us at Ksar el-Abid,

1362
02:08:45,170 --> 02:08:46,670
120 kilometres away.

1363
02:09:03,760 --> 02:09:04,520
Gentlemen,

1364
02:09:06,100 --> 02:09:07,340
mission accomplished.

1365
02:09:09,620 --> 02:09:10,980
We have held out

1366
02:09:12,880 --> 02:09:14,380
far beyond what seemed possible.

1367
02:09:18,210 --> 02:09:19,630
I chose the battle we would fight.

1368
02:09:22,350 --> 02:09:23,710
I'll leave you to choose

1369
02:09:23,730 --> 02:09:24,130
how we die.

1370
02:09:26,630 --> 02:09:28,550
We've lost our escape corridor.

1371
02:09:30,450 --> 02:09:30,970
You know,

1372
02:09:32,390 --> 02:09:35,270
if we decide to break through the enemy lines,

1373
02:09:37,170 --> 02:09:37,870
few of us

1374
02:09:39,970 --> 02:09:41,690
will reach the British positions.

1375
02:09:44,810 --> 02:09:45,750
If we surrender...

1376
02:09:50,450 --> 02:09:51,750
If we surrender,

1377
02:09:55,870 --> 02:09:58,950
most of you will probably be spared.

1378
02:10:04,310 --> 02:10:05,170
The choice is yours.

1379
02:10:18,900 --> 02:10:20,160
Please don't let them surrender.

1380
02:11:06,540 --> 02:11:08,240
Go! Never mind the mines!

1381
02:11:23,200 --> 02:11:24,120
Stop!

1382
02:11:44,375 --> 02:11:45,875
Take this!

1383
02:11:49,630 --> 02:11:50,390
In the boot!

1384
02:11:51,750 --> 02:11:52,916
Open it!

1385
02:11:53,990 --> 02:11:54,870
Start the engine!

1386
02:12:31,125 --> 02:12:32,833
Look straight ahead!

1387
02:12:33,000 --> 02:12:34,708
The British!

1388
02:13:00,083 --> 02:13:03,291
Well done! Welcome to British territory.

1389
02:13:05,790 --> 02:13:07,010
The Pacific Battalion!

1390
02:13:07,490 --> 02:13:08,430
And the Thirteenth? Where are they?

1391
02:13:08,430 --> 02:13:09,670
I don't know. I lost them at dawn.

1392
02:13:09,990 --> 02:13:10,310
Your binoculars.

1393
02:13:59,500 --> 02:14:00,666
Thank you!

1394
02:14:00,833 --> 02:14:02,250
Are they cheering for us?

1395
02:14:08,875 --> 02:14:10,708
Long live France!

1396
02:14:11,166 --> 02:14:12,000
Yes.

1397
02:14:12,630 --> 02:14:13,070
Gentlemen,

1398
02:14:14,850 --> 02:14:15,750
a little dignity, please.

1399
02:14:19,690 --> 02:14:20,130
Let's continue.

1400
02:14:47,290 --> 02:14:49,990
Present arms!

1401
02:14:51,640 --> 02:14:53,060
Chamfort once said,

1402
02:14:54,800 --> 02:14:56,520
"The reasonable have endured.

1403
02:14:57,880 --> 02:15:00,040
The passionate have truly lived."

1404
02:15:02,080 --> 02:15:04,320
For two years now, France,

1405
02:15:05,440 --> 02:15:06,160
though betrayed

1406
02:15:06,420 --> 02:15:08,320
and delivered to the enemy by Vichy,

1407
02:15:09,480 --> 02:15:10,340
has continued to fight.

1408
02:15:12,220 --> 02:15:14,240
During these two years, we have

1409
02:15:14,880 --> 02:15:15,800
truly lived,

1410
02:15:15,800 --> 02:15:18,840
because we are passionate men.

1411
02:15:19,580 --> 02:15:20,280
But we have also

1412
02:15:21,420 --> 02:15:22,440
endured.

1413
02:15:23,920 --> 02:15:25,060
Ah!

1414
02:15:25,440 --> 02:15:26,880
How reasonable we are!

1415
02:15:28,600 --> 02:15:30,080
We are undoubtedly approaching

1416
02:15:30,080 --> 02:15:32,000
a turning point

1417
02:15:32,000 --> 02:15:34,620
in the war.

1418
02:15:36,400 --> 02:15:39,000
The weight of American assistance,

1419
02:15:39,600 --> 02:15:42,540
the heroic resistance of the Russians,

1420
02:15:43,480 --> 02:15:45,700
and the efforts of the British people

1421
02:15:46,880 --> 02:15:47,300
prove,

1422
02:15:47,960 --> 02:15:50,840
gentlemen, that victory is within our grasp.

1423
02:15:52,760 --> 02:15:55,940
I say that we are passionate men.

1424
02:15:56,340 --> 02:15:57,340
But when it comes to passion,

1425
02:15:57,880 --> 02:15:59,340
we have only one:

1426
02:16:01,140 --> 02:16:01,720
France.

1427
02:16:03,540 --> 02:16:04,260
For war

1428
02:16:04,720 --> 02:16:06,580
is a matter of conviction

1429
02:16:06,580 --> 02:16:08,000
and moral strength,

1430
02:16:08,380 --> 02:16:09,940
as much as material force.

1431
02:16:12,600 --> 02:16:14,060
A nation is defeated

1432
02:16:14,420 --> 02:16:17,100
only when it admits defeat.

1433
02:16:17,420 --> 02:16:19,640
Soldiers who died at Keren,

1434
02:16:20,640 --> 02:16:21,160
Kufra,

1435
02:16:22,300 --> 02:16:22,940
Mourzouk,

1436
02:16:23,580 --> 02:16:24,200
Damascus...

1437
02:16:24,440 --> 02:16:26,040
Gentlemen,

1438
02:16:27,880 --> 02:16:29,280
soldiers

1439
02:16:29,780 --> 02:16:30,180
and sailors

1440
02:16:30,180 --> 02:16:32,219
of our sunken ships...

1441
02:16:32,620 --> 02:16:34,540
France, the true France,

1442
02:16:35,139 --> 02:16:36,240
eternal France,

1443
02:16:36,700 --> 02:16:39,580
is not defeated, because she believes in victory.

1444
02:16:40,840 --> 02:16:42,040
French volunteers,

1445
02:16:42,440 --> 02:16:44,100
crushed at your posts,

1446
02:16:44,719 --> 02:16:48,059
fighters of Saint-Nazaire who fell with knives in hand,

1447
02:16:49,540 --> 02:16:51,040
young men executed at Nantes,

1448
02:16:51,780 --> 02:16:52,299
in Paris,

1449
02:16:53,059 --> 02:16:53,580
in Lille,

1450
02:16:53,580 --> 02:16:54,340
you show

1451
02:16:54,340 --> 02:16:56,280
that our flag still flies with honour,

1452
02:16:56,280 --> 02:16:57,459
that even in death,

1453
02:16:57,760 --> 02:16:59,160
your sacrifice gives us hope

1454
02:16:59,160 --> 02:17:01,240
and binds us together

1455
02:17:01,240 --> 02:17:04,080
in French unity.

1456
02:17:04,260 --> 02:17:05,520
And our Marseillaise

1457
02:17:05,520 --> 02:17:07,000
rings out in fury!

1458
02:17:07,959 --> 02:17:09,160
It is the blood of those Frenchmen

1459
02:17:09,160 --> 02:17:11,900
who refused the armistice,

1460
02:17:12,160 --> 02:17:14,160
who would not endure the shame

1461
02:17:14,160 --> 02:17:16,500
of dying without having fought.

1462
02:17:32,030 --> 02:17:32,420
Winston,

1463
02:17:32,420 --> 02:17:35,860
isn't this exactly what you expected?

1464
02:17:35,860 --> 02:17:38,980
What you saw in him despite what all of us were saying?

1465
02:17:44,600 --> 02:17:45,120
Perhaps.

1466
02:17:47,559 --> 02:17:49,620
We don't see how we can keep him in the dark.

1467
02:17:50,719 --> 02:17:52,440
Not anymore. Not now.

1468
02:17:53,240 --> 02:17:54,639
But it's an American operation.

1469
02:17:55,840 --> 02:17:56,980
And I made Roosevelt a promise.

1470
02:18:02,010 --> 02:18:04,790
The Allies?

1471
02:18:12,469 --> 02:18:13,389
Be careful!

1472
02:18:14,110 --> 02:18:15,389
You can't be involved in the landing.

1473
02:18:16,270 --> 02:18:18,690
He now embodies the resistance.

1474
02:18:23,950 --> 02:18:25,350
Algiers is part of France, Winston.

1475
02:18:25,850 --> 02:18:27,850
The resistance will help us make a smooth entrance,

1476
02:18:28,549 --> 02:18:30,750
The French Resistance fighters,

1477
02:18:31,370 --> 02:18:33,570
I'm seeing them, I'm questioning them one after the other.

1478
02:18:34,190 --> 02:18:35,690
And all of them tell me they come for him.

1479
02:18:36,040 --> 02:18:37,375
We have Darlan!

1480
02:18:42,040 --> 02:18:43,375
Hands on your heads. Face the wall!

1481
02:19:00,799 --> 02:19:02,400
You've lost, Admiral.

1482
02:19:03,860 --> 02:19:05,700
Tell your troops to stop fighting.

1483
02:19:08,833 --> 02:19:09,625
The Germans

1484
02:19:09,790 --> 02:19:10,708
are on the road.

1485
02:19:11,708 --> 02:19:13,665
We keep fighting.

1486
02:19:15,639 --> 02:19:17,040
You have lost.

1487
02:19:19,660 --> 02:19:22,559
May I sit?

1488
02:19:26,490 --> 02:19:29,010
The United States has a proposition for you.

1489
02:19:29,010 --> 02:19:30,030
What is it?

1490
02:19:30,030 --> 02:19:34,230
How do you feel about Maréchal Pétain?

1491
02:19:41,333 --> 02:19:43,000
It’s de Gaulle!

1492
02:19:43,165 --> 02:19:44,833
It’s de Gaulle!

1493
02:19:48,415 --> 02:19:49,875
General!

1494
02:20:07,958 --> 02:20:10,916
A word before you meet Eisenhower?

1495
02:20:26,170 --> 02:20:28,490
In the presence of General Eisenhower,

1496
02:20:30,130 --> 02:20:31,690
I order all French troops

1497
02:20:31,770 --> 02:20:37,410
in Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco and throughout Africa

1498
02:20:38,570 --> 02:20:39,810
to cease fire immediately.

1499
02:20:41,850 --> 02:20:42,890
Effective immediately,

1500
02:20:43,430 --> 02:20:46,190
Admiral Darlan will be commander-in-chief

1501
02:20:46,190 --> 02:20:48,530
of all French fighting forces.

1502
02:20:48,930 --> 02:20:52,330
Together, we shall defeat the Germans.

1503
02:20:54,930 --> 02:20:55,410
Congratulations.

1504
02:21:02,880 --> 02:21:04,420
The new king of the Gauls.

1505
02:21:11,010 --> 02:21:11,970
The shameful alliance.

1506
02:21:13,450 --> 02:21:14,970
And one that you are party to.

1507
02:21:17,830 --> 02:21:20,550
As the Russians say, Anthony, in moments of great danger,

1508
02:21:20,970 --> 02:21:22,690
one may walk with the devil

1509
02:21:23,090 --> 02:21:24,430
and his granny if she's still around,

1510
02:21:24,990 --> 02:21:26,530
until one has crossed the bridge.

1511
02:21:30,970 --> 02:21:35,510
Darlan gives Roosevelt Algiers, Dakar and 400,000 men.

1512
02:21:35,670 --> 02:21:37,670
What does de Gaulle give us?

1513
02:21:37,670 --> 02:21:38,550
Chad.

1514
02:22:04,000 --> 02:22:09,200
Gentlemen, for our last meeting together,

1515
02:22:10,680 --> 02:22:13,300
I simply wanted, for once,

1516
02:22:14,100 --> 02:22:15,780
to thank you.

1517
02:22:18,240 --> 02:22:20,800
The Allies have made their choice.

1518
02:22:20,800 --> 02:22:26,420
A strategic choice. Immoral. Painful.

1519
02:22:27,360 --> 02:22:32,100
For us, siding with a man of Vichy would mean losing our soul.

1520
02:22:33,140 --> 02:22:37,900
Consequently, Free France no longer has any reason to exist.

1521
02:22:40,380 --> 02:22:44,080
We have never betrayed our conscience.

1522
02:22:45,400 --> 02:22:47,880
We fought with passion.

1523
02:22:47,880 --> 02:22:51,800
We never compromised our principles.

1524
02:22:53,040 --> 02:22:56,860
History, which always sides with the victors,

1525
02:22:57,600 --> 02:22:59,880
will doubtless remember us as nothing more than...

1526
02:23:02,120 --> 02:23:03,620
a handful of madmen.

1527
02:24:38,940 --> 02:24:40,840
I'll speak to Roosevelt on the secure line.

1528
02:24:41,260 --> 02:24:42,280
Fetch me in thirty minutes.

1529
02:24:43,980 --> 02:24:44,980
Morning, Admiral. Morning.

1530
02:24:49,920 --> 02:24:50,420
Admiral?

1531
02:25:46,850 --> 02:25:48,290
Fernand Bonnier de La Chapelle.

1532
02:25:50,030 --> 02:25:52,750
Have you anything to say?

1533
02:25:53,390 --> 02:25:53,890
Yes.

1534
02:25:59,590 --> 02:26:01,050
France is worth dying for.

1535
02:26:02,650 --> 02:26:03,370
At my command.

1536
02:26:07,400 --> 02:26:09,980
Aim!

1537
02:26:13,750 --> 02:26:15,350
- Long live... - Fire!

1538
02:26:41,950 --> 02:26:42,470
My dear old Dad,

1539
02:26:44,330 --> 02:26:45,970
don't grieve if I must die.

1540
02:26:48,870 --> 02:26:49,590
Well...

1541
02:26:50,010 --> 02:26:50,510
so be it.

1542
02:26:53,720 --> 02:26:56,440
What matters is that you and I both know my death will not have been in vain.

1543
02:27:04,030 --> 02:27:07,190
I'm sure you've forgiven me for all the arguments we've had,

1544
02:27:08,050 --> 02:27:09,610
but I want to ask your forgiveness once more.

1545
02:27:15,780 --> 02:27:17,600
Give your wife and little Christiane a kiss for me.

1546
02:27:19,580 --> 02:27:21,220
If you ever see Uncle and Auntie again,

1547
02:27:22,240 --> 02:27:25,600
I'm sure you'll find the words to tell them how much I loved them.

1548
02:27:27,140 --> 02:27:31,420
And if a certain Livia should ever ask about me...

1549
02:27:32,080 --> 02:27:33,220
tell her I was fond of her.

1550
02:27:35,540 --> 02:27:37,240
Life holds so many unforeseen turns.

1551
02:27:41,360 --> 02:27:43,280
Divine intervention?

1552
02:27:43,280 --> 02:27:46,340
They say God watches over babies and fools.

1553
02:27:49,380 --> 02:27:52,780
Goodbye, my dear Dad. I send you all my love, from the bottom of my heart.

1554
02:27:56,580 --> 02:27:57,020
Fernand.
