I don't think he did. 80 00:10:00,162 --> 00:10:05,182 When an escape goes wrong, it's easy to blame some imaginary informer. 81 00:10:05,182 --> 00:10:07,975 Lester had no chance from the word go. 82 00:10:07,975 --> 00:10:13,357 I don't agree. There's always a risk. War's not a safe occupation. 83 00:10:14,357 --> 00:10:17,269 All of us here are still at war. It's our duty to escape, if we can. 84 00:10:17,999 --> 00:10:20,765 It's also our duty to stay alive, if we can. 85 00:10:20,765 --> 00:10:24,316 90% of the officers here deserve a medal - 86 00:10:24,316 --> 00:10:27,972 sunbathing, amateur theatricals, bridge parties. 87 00:10:27,972 --> 00:10:30,550 We all do our duty and stay alive. 88 00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:34,988 The Allies have landed in Sicily.

What happens then is anybody's guess. 93 00:10:44,677 --> 00:10:48,169 The Italians may open the gates, let us fade away. 94 00:10:48,169 --> 00:10:50,596 It may be agreed with the Allies. 95 00:10:50,596 --> 00:10:56,380 They may stick to their guns, cart us to Germany. It may be agreed with the Germans. 96 00:10:56,380 --> 00:10:58,442 They may not know what to do. 97 00:10:58,442 --> 00:11:01,916 That's when I must talk to the comandante. 98 00:11:01,916 --> 00:11:05,357 On my success may depend the future, the life, 99 00:11:05,357 --> 00:11:09,461 of every man here. What happened today can't happen again. 100 00:11:09,461 --> 00:11:12,201 After a poke in the eye, we give up? 101 00:11:12,201 --> 00:11:17,176 You don't get it. If someone escapes it's one up to the escape committee, 102 00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:19,600 I'm not thinking about you. 103 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,991 If a prisoner's shot, I don't think about him. 104 00:11:22,991 --> 00:11:28,284 I think of the 400 men I'm responsible for as senior British officer. 105 00:11:28,284 --> 00:11:33,183 That's why I insist on knowing of, and approving, any future attempt. 106 00:11:37,183 --> 00:11:38,984 D'ye want to know about tunnels? 107 00:11:38,984 --> 00:11:44,020 Not when they start, but when they'll be used for break-out. 108 00:11:44,020 --> 00:11:46,762 I might want to reserve a place. 109 00:11:46,762 --> 00:11:46,762 I'll bear that in mind.

It isn't "What have you done with the dead body?" 251 00:21:00,122 --> 00:21:03,594 They've got the whole camp to play games in! 252 00:21:03,594 --> 00:21:05,441 Why do they tread on us? 254 00:21:05,441 --> 00:21:11,442 What have you done with the body? It's "What have you done, my lord, with the dead body?" 255 00:21:11,442 --> 00:21:15,064 Put him down there on the table. 257 00:21:22,581 --> 00:21:24,208 Colonel Huxley. 258 00:21:30,208 --> 00:21:34,647 Look, sir, he's torn one fingernail off, three others are nearly off. 259 00:21:34,699 --> 00:21:40,216 Yes, tried to claw his way out. How long has he been dead? 260 00:21:40,216 --> 00:21:43,622 Ten to 12 hours, ten more likely. 261 00:21:43,622 --> 00:21:46,115 That's midnight last night. 262 00:21:46,115 --> 00:21:52,982 Leaving the question of how he got into the tunnel, how did he get into Hut C after lock-up? 263 00:21:52,982 --> 00:21:58,494 Unless, of course, there's been a conspiracy of silence in Hut C. 264 00:21:58,494 --> 00:22:02,740 He got into the hut, he got into the tunnel. 265 00:22:02,740 --> 00:22:05,066 We must report it to the Italians. 267 00:22:05,066 --> 00:22:12,364 Must ye say where you found him? Of course. They'll prove he died under a fall of sand - a tunnel. 268 00:22:12,364 --> 00:22:19,028 If you tell the truth, you'll give them our only tunnel with a real chance. 269 00:22:19,028 --> 00:22:21,571 What alternative do you suggest? 270 00:22:24,571 --> 00:22:28,654 Put him in another tunnel, an abandoned one, and then report it. 272 00:22:28,654 --> 00:22:33,773 Fake a fall in another tunnel? It happens by accident. It shouldn't be hard. 273 00:22:33,773 --> 00:22:36,981 It may not be the end of the matter. 274 00:22:36,981 --> 00:22:39,009 I'm still for it. 276 00:22:39,009 --> 00:22:44,258 Who'll do it? I will, sir. 277 00:22:44,258 --> 00:22:47,104 The less I know about it, the better. 278 00:22:47,104 --> 00:22:49,481 Just as a matter of interest, 279 00:22:49,481 --> 00:22:54,373 might I be allowed to know where this "abandoned tunnel" starts? 280 00:23:09,590 --> 00:23:14,065 You tell me, Colonel, that these diggers, nameless diggers, 281 00:23:14,065 --> 00:23:17,523 come to you today and tell you... Andare. 282 00:23:17,523 --> 00:23:21,795 And tell you Coutoules was the last man in the tunnel last night 283 00:23:21,795 --> 00:23:25,984 and was pinned down by a fall of sand, unknown to his friends. 285 00:23:25,984 --> 00:23:31,088 That's right. The Greek died in the tunnel, you do not know who was with him. 286 00:23:31,088 --> 00:23:33,714 No, I said I wouldn't tell you. 287 00:23:33,714 --> 00:23:36,855 There is another point I do not understand. 288 00:23:36,855 --> 00:23:42,539 Why do you report this happening and not your comandante, Colonel Huxley? 289 00:23:42,539 --> 00:23:46,396 You know I'm in charge of escaping activities here. 291 00:23:46,396 --> 00:23:53,178 Make something of it. It is not I who will make something of it. A man has been killed. 293 00:23:53,178 --> 00:23:58,449 "Been killed?" Been killed, died - what is the difference to him? 294 00:23:58,449 --> 00:24:02,681 He is dead. You, by your own admission, are the murderer. 295 00:24:02,681 --> 00:24:05,279 Watch what you're sayin', Benucci. 296 00:24:05,279 --> 00:24:08,704 You organise these childish enterprises. 297 00:24:08,704 --> 00:24:13,707 You have men risk their lives in burrows, trying to climb the wire, 298 00:24:13,707 --> 00:24:17,362 in childish impersonations, like yesterday. 299 00:24:17,362 --> 00:24:22,265 If they fail, as they must, and men get killed, you are responsible. 300 00:24:22,265 --> 00:24:25,191 I accept that responsibility. 301 00:24:25,191 --> 00:24:29,795 Lieutenant Coutoules, he was a member of this tunnel-digging gang? 303 00:24:29,795 --> 00:24:33,569 He was, aye. Curious. From what I observed, 304 00:24:33,569 --> 00:24:37,874 I did not think he was the type. You surprise me. 305 00:24:37,874 --> 00:24:40,217 Oh, life is full of surprises. 306 00:24:40,217 --> 00:24:40,217 You want me any more? 307 00:24:40,217 --> 00:24:44,789 You want me any more? Not at the moment, thanks, Colonel. 308 00:24:44,789 --> 00:24:48,664 Now, this is a matter for... criminal procedure. 310 00:25:00,028 --> 00:25:01,430 NO! NO! NO!

He didn't walk there on his own, 350 00:27:13,737 --> 00:27:17,326 Iift the stove, jump down, cover himself with sand. 351 00:27:17,326 --> 00:27:20,735 Doesn't it take four men to raise the trap? 352 00:27:20,735 --> 00:27:25,156 One man could've killed Coutoules, four must've put him there. 353 00:27:25,156 --> 00:27:27,714 Threats had been made by Hut C. 354 00:27:27,714 --> 00:27:32,569 There's no lack of suspects. People wanted to bump him off, including me. 355 00:27:32,569 --> 00:27:35,089 The Italians worry me. 356 00:27:35,089 --> 00:27:40,863 Normally, they find a tunnel, have a strafe. Now, it's photographers, fingerprints. 357 00:27:40,863 --> 00:27:43,406 Maybe they wanted to arrest the duck. 358 00:27:43,406 --> 00:27:46,334 I'm wasting my time and yours. 359 00:27:46,334 --> 00:27:49,974 Does it matter how Coutoules died, who killed him? 360 00:27:49,974 --> 00:27:53,994 The stool pigeon had it comin'. D'ye want me to cry? 361 00:27:53,994 --> 00:27:59,548 I want your escape committee to find out how Coutoules died, who was responsible! 362 00:27:59,548 --> 00:27:59,548 Maybe it was the escape committee. 363 00:27:59,548 --> 00:28:04,734 Maybe it was the escape committee. I haven't overlooked that possibility! 364 00:28:10,734 --> 00:28:10,734 Bloody old woman! 365 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:14,225 Was he talking to me? 366 00:28:14,225 --> 00:28:16,185 Could be. It fits. 369 00:28:16,185 --> 00:28:23,216 Do you like rugger? Not in the least. Then why are we facing this way, you clot? 370 00:28:25,216 --> 00:28:26,940 Why kick a ball between two posts? 371 00:28:26,990 --> 00:28:28,885 I quite agree. 372 00:28:28,885 --> 00:28:30,864 Only one use for the posts. 373 00:28:30,864 --> 00:28:33,424 Not until we've found that cable. 374 00:28:33,424 --> 00:28:35,617 Couldn't that sapper help us? 375 00:28:35,617 --> 00:28:37,861 There he is, why not ask him? 376 00:28:37,861 --> 00:28:39,619 What's his name? 378 00:28:39,619 --> 00:28:43,098 Meynell. Oh, yes. Hey, Meynell! Come here! 379 00:28:47,098 --> 00:28:48,767 Meynell,... who's your best friend? 380 00:28:48,767 --> 00:28:51,530 My best friend? I live in Croydon... 381 00:28:51,530 --> 00:28:55,813 Here, Mr Stinks. Get him to tell you, you've gone off. 382 00:28:55,813 --> 00:28:59,654 Oh! Oh, best friend.

Why on earth would I want to do that? 394 00:29:33,946 --> 00:29:39,831 Tell him. We thought you might help us. We've a scheme to get out over the wire. 395 00:29:39,831 --> 00:29:42,723 It depends on fusing the power cable. 396 00:29:42,723 --> 00:29:46,744 We can fix the overhead one, but there must be another. 397 00:29:46,744 --> 00:29:49,721 Probably, though I haven't seen one. 398 00:29:49,721 --> 00:29:53,775 If I do say so myself, there's little wiring in this camp... 399 00:29:53,775 --> 00:29:57,634 I won't keep you. If you're lucky, let us know. 400 00:29:57,634 --> 00:30:00,177 Oh, I will. It'll be a pleasure. 401 00:30:03,177 --> 00:30:06,027 On a rubber mattress, like punting on the Thames. 402 00:30:06,027 --> 00:30:08,022 Charming. 404 00:30:33,321 --> 00:30:34,102 What? This again? 406 00:30:46,618 --> 00:30:48,214 Why did they grab Byfold? 407 00:30:48,214 --> 00:30:50,094 Murder. 408 00:30:50,094 --> 00:30:52,902 And who says it's murder? 409 00:30:57,902 --> 00:31:02,660 The facts say so, Captain Byfold - a perfect match, are they not? 410 00:31:02,699 --> 00:31:07,847 The lower set of prints were found on this... Piece of wood. 412 00:31:07,847 --> 00:31:13,739 Whose are they? Well, now, I wonder if you can guess. 413 00:31:13,739 --> 00:31:17,885 Our doctor thinks death was the night before the discovery. 414 00:31:17,885 --> 00:31:21,909 He states there is evidence of a struggle prior to death 415 00:31:21,909 --> 00:31:25,225 and that the body was moved after death. 416 00:31:25,225 --> 00:31:28,706 Obviously, this story of a tunnel collapse 417 00:31:28,706 --> 00:31:30,661 can be dismissed as... 420 00:31:35,578 --> 00:31:40,476 Why was Byfold arrested without reference to me, on whose authority, what charge? 421 00:31:40,476 --> 00:31:40,476 Scusi, Capitan... 422 00:31:40,476 --> 00:31:44,828 Scusi, Capitan... Silenzio! The charge is very serious, Colonel. 423 00:31:44,828 --> 00:31:48,120 I didn't address you! Who authorised his arrest? 424 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:48,120 Prego, Colonel. 425 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:50,719 Prego, Colonel. No, no, no. 426 00:31:50,719 --> 00:31:53,749 I brought him here for questioning. 427 00:31:53,749 --> 00:31:56,698 What do you mean? Questioning about what? 428 00:31:56,698 --> 00:31:59,324 About the murder of Coutoules. 429 00:31:59,324 --> 00:32:03,236 Byfold had nothing to do with his death. 430 00:32:03,236 --> 00:32:05,941 No? I... We think that he did. 432 00:32:05,941 --> 00:32:11,627 On what evidence?! This tool started the fall of earth on the body. 433 00:32:11,627 --> 00:32:15,831 The fingerprints on it are Captain Byfold's fingerprints. 434 00:32:15,831 --> 00:32:17,576 It is all there. 435 00:32:17,576 --> 00:32:22,313 If Byfold is charged, I insist it's by the civil authorities! 436 00:32:22,313 --> 00:32:26,468 Naturally. The evidence will go to the state Prosecutor. 437 00:32:26,468 --> 00:32:31,750 If a charge is brought, Captain Byfold will be tried in a civil court. 438 00:32:31,750 --> 00:32:35,975 I expect to receive my instructions within a week at the most. 439 00:32:35,975 --> 00:32:38,237 He must return to his quarters. 440 00:32:38,237 --> 00:32:40,780 Certainly. That was my intention. 441 00:32:40,780 --> 00:32:45,651 You see, although it is clear to me that Captain Byfold is implicated, 442 00:32:45,651 --> 00:32:51,636 the crime could not be committed by one man. It would be a very grave injustice 443 00:32:51,636 --> 00:32:56,538 to allow one man to pay the penalty for a crime committed by others. 445 00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:04,816 Well? My... Our suggestion is that you put the facts before your men, 446 00:33:04,816 --> 00:33:07,438 appeal to their sense of honour. 447 00:33:07,438 --> 00:33:12,489 I'm sure you will find that the culprits will come forward. 448 00:33:27,556 --> 00:33:27,556 Thanks for your help, sir. 449 00:33:27,556 --> 00:33:33,157 Thanks for your help, sir. Don't thank me. You're not out of the woods yet. 450 00:33:33,157 --> 00:33:34,725 All right. 451 00:33:36,725 --> 00:33:40,599 Blast Baird and his damn tunnels! This is beginning to look ugly. 452 00:33:40,599 --> 00:33:43,607 Send the hut commanders to my hut. 453 00:33:43,607 --> 00:33:45,258 Right, sir. 454 00:33:45,258 --> 00:33:49,066 Hello. Weren't you being shot or something? 456 00:33:49,066 --> 00:33:54,015 They postponed it. Ah, good. Still, if they change their minds again, 457 00:33:54,015 --> 00:33:57,725 Iet me have any gash vino tickets you have left. 458 00:33:57,725 --> 00:34:00,934 I promise, Dopey. I'll put it in my will. 459 00:34:00,934 --> 00:34:03,999 I thought this might happen. It has. 460 00:34:03,999 --> 00:34:11,223 If the culprits don't come forward, or we can't find them, the Italians will make Byfold the scapegoat. 461 00:34:11,223 --> 00:34:14,449 If they've something on Byfold, why send him back? 462 00:34:14,449 --> 00:34:18,819 This way, Benucci can watch us fight amongst ourselves. 463 00:34:18,819 --> 00:34:25,671 That's the situation. Pass on what I've told you to your huts. Remember, we haven't got much time. 464 00:34:31,671 --> 00:34:37,238 If we don't solve this and Byfold is charged with murder, I must tell the Italians all we know. 465 00:34:37,238 --> 00:34:41,294 Why? You'll say we found Coutoules in that tunnel, not this. 467 00:34:41,294 --> 00:34:47,810 He's still dead. At least it'll explain Byfold's fingerprints on that bit of wood. 468 00:34:47,810 --> 00:34:47,810 I hope they'll believe me. 469 00:34:47,810 --> 00:34:52,548 I hope they'll believe me. They won't, unless it suits them. 470 00:34:52,548 --> 00:34:56,553 You'll give them the only tunnel with a real chance. 471 00:34:56,553 --> 00:34:58,398 Yes, you told me that. 472 00:34:58,398 --> 00:35:02,203 I won't let Byfold die if there's a chance to save him, 473 00:35:02,203 --> 00:35:05,900 even if it does mean giving away your tunnel. 474 00:35:05,900 --> 00:35:09,993 Huxley thinks you must have a hand in it. 476 00:35:09,993 --> 00:35:13,498 Why, sir? Only you could've opened the tunnel. 477 00:35:13,498 --> 00:35:18,278 He thinks we got Coutoules from his hut, past the compound searchlights, 478 00:35:18,278 --> 00:35:18,278 in here after lock-up? 479 00:35:18,278 --> 00:35:22,798 in here after lock-up? Oh, I know, it's bloody impossible. 481 00:35:27,727 --> 00:35:29,649 Does he have to play that thing? 482 00:35:29,649 --> 00:35:31,409 Pierre. 483 00:35:31,409 --> 00:35:33,604 Excusez-moi. 485 00:35:35,604 --> 00:35:38,775 Am I too late? No, bung 'em in. 486 00:35:38,775 --> 00:35:44,011 Come on, Tony - love and kisses. I've gotta get it across tonight. 487 00:35:44,011 --> 00:35:47,084 How did it go today? 488 00:35:47,084 --> 00:35:51,992 OK. We haven't cleared the fall. The problem is getting rid of the sand. 489 00:35:51,992 --> 00:35:57,176 Find places for it - mattresses, kit bags, the roof. Eat it, if necessary. 490 00:35:57,176 --> 00:36:00,134 We won't know how Coutoules died? 491 00:36:00,134 --> 00:36:03,025 It's unlikely. Nobody's come forward. 492 00:36:03,025 --> 00:36:06,966 Your best chance is the tunnel, if we finish it. We will. 493 00:36:06,966 --> 00:36:12,400 From now on, we'll work an extra shift, from six till lock-up, OK? 494 00:36:12,400 --> 00:36:17,303 Suppose we do make it on time, d'you think Colonel Huxley will agree? 495 00:36:17,303 --> 00:36:19,531 He won't know about it. 496 00:36:19,531 --> 00:36:24,622 I thought... Didn't you say the SBO had to approve all escape attempts? 497 00:36:24,622 --> 00:36:27,156 Did I? Well, you'd better forget it. 498 00:36:30,156 --> 00:36:32,198 None of us likes being here, 499 00:36:32,998 --> 00:36:35,954 but it's just no use, letting it get you down. 500 00:36:35,999 --> 00:36:37,883 A hunger strike won't help, 501 00:36:37,883 --> 00:36:41,389 just when you should try to put on weight. 503 00:36:43,338 --> 00:36:45,463 Hey, watch out! 505 00:36:45,463 --> 00:36:48,454 May I, sir? Si, va bene. 506 00:36:55,454 --> 00:36:57,496 Come on, Bunter! 507 00:36:59,996 --> 00:37:01,868 Tony? I think I'm onto something. 509 00:37:01,968 --> 00:37:07,435 What? Keep walking. Don't look up. D'you see that guard Platform ahead? 511 00:37:07,435 --> 00:37:12,999 Yeah. It's the only platform with a clear view of the SBO's hut and Hut C. 512 00:37:13,572 --> 00:37:13,572 So? 513 00:37:13,572 --> 00:37:17,826 So? Coutoules was alive in the SBO's hut at ten. 514 00:37:17,826 --> 00:37:20,303 At midnight, he died in our tunnel. 515 00:37:20,303 --> 00:37:24,493 The guards up there that night must've seen something. 517 00:37:24,493 --> 00:37:29,744 You could be right. Finding out who they were shouldn't be difficult. 518 00:37:29,744 --> 00:37:33,147 Look, I think I'll have a word with the QM. 519 00:37:33,147 --> 00:37:38,010 The Eyeties scrounge around his stores. He finds out most things. 521 00:37:38,010 --> 00:37:40,930 I'll see ya later. OK. 523 00:37:44,930 --> 00:37:50,622 It's spitting with rain. What are you talking about, you clot? Let's see... 524 00:37:50,622 --> 00:37:53,547 Yes, typical British climate. 525 00:37:53,547 --> 00:37:55,219 Take a taxi? 526 00:37:55,219 --> 00:38:00,279 You're mad. We'll never get a taxi in this, they never stop. We walk. 528 00:38:00,279 --> 00:38:04,294 Mustn't keep the girls waiting. If they can't wait, they get no lunch. 529 00:38:04,294 --> 00:38:08,226 Now, put your umbrella up, and let's get cracking. 531 00:38:08,226 --> 00:38:14,426 You did say the Savoy. Well, where else, you fool? Come on. Cross over here. Mind the traffic. 532 00:38:18,426 --> 00:38:21,939 To... Tony,... I found out who they were. 533 00:38:21,939 --> 00:38:21,939 Yes? 534 00:38:21,939 --> 00:38:26,310 Yes? Biancelli, a carab, Marzotto, a soldato, scruffy beast. 536 00:38:26,310 --> 00:38:30,866 They're all scruffy. We meet Marzotto in the cookhouse before lock-up. 540 00:38:30,866 --> 00:38:35,963 This evening? Yes! Does he speak English? You speak their lingo. 542 00:38:35,963 --> 00:38:38,855 It'll cost. It'll help Roger. 543 00:38:38,855 --> 00:38:43,383 You can't trust Eyeties. They'll take your bribe and tell you nothing. 544 00:38:43,383 --> 00:38:47,752 I think it's worth following up. They must've seen something! 545 00:38:47,752 --> 00:38:49,613 You can count me in. 546 00:38:49,613 --> 00:38:54,315 We'll fix the details later. I must see Baird about tonight's shift. 548 00:38:56,315 --> 00:39:01,765 It's like the soft-shoe shuffle. Might build up to a music hall act. 550 00:39:01,765 --> 00:39:05,731 Who was the lady with you last night? That was a Gordon Highlander! 551 00:39:05,731 --> 00:39:09,064 No, you don't.

It was late that night! 967 01:04:15,735 --> 01:04:21,055 The laundry van, of course! I didn't think anything of it at the time. 968 01:04:21,055 --> 01:04:24,213 We looked for the murderer amongst us. 969 01:04:24,213 --> 01:04:28,179 Once ye know Benucci did it, everything else fits in. 970 01:04:28,179 --> 01:04:31,127 Yes.

Why? 1044 01:09:13,257 --> 01:09:18,627 Some think Benucci lets us get on with it so he knows what we're doing 1045 01:09:18,627 --> 01:09:21,485 and can stop us any time he likes. 1046 01:09:21,485 --> 01:09:26,378 I don't believe Benucci intended to stop us, now or at any other time. 1047 01:09:26,378 --> 01:09:29,797 You mean he'd let us break out? That's crazy. 1048 01:09:29,797 --> 01:09:33,138 It's not. Benucci's the original sadist, 1049 01:09:33,138 --> 01:09:36,514 a Nazi-trained killer who enjoys killing. 1050 01:09:36,514 --> 01:09:40,369 Look at Lester, and last night's attempt over the wire. 1051 01:09:40,369 --> 01:09:46,104 He could have gone to Hut C, found the ladder, men dressed for escape, but no. 1052 01:09:46,104 --> 01:09:50,392 He let them get out then mowed them down, attempting to escape. 1053 01:09:50,392 --> 01:09:53,883 But ye suggest we break outta the tunnel tonight? 1054 01:09:53,883 --> 01:09:58,365 Benucci would have guns and lights at the exit all night. 1055 01:09:58,366 --> 01:10:02,195 Night, yes, but who said anything about tonight? 1056 01:10:02,195 --> 01:10:06,300 My plan is to evacuate the whole camp tomorrow, by day. 1057 01:10:08,700 --> 01:10:11,885 400 men in broad daylight? 1058 01:10:11,885 --> 01:10:11,885 Why not? 1059 01:10:11,885 --> 01:10:18,303 Why not?
