1
00:01:03,833 --> 00:01:07,133
JANUARY
1943
2
00:01:43,833 --> 00:01:45,833
LYON
OCCUPIED FRANCE
3
00:01:55,583 --> 00:01:58,166
And shit! Kiss my ass!
(Speaking Italian)
4
00:01:58,666 --> 00:02:00,291
You sly dog!
5
00:02:01,500 --> 00:02:03,333
It's my lucky day.
6
00:02:05,458 --> 00:02:06,541
Bruno!
7
00:02:08,708 --> 00:02:09,708
Bruno!
8
00:02:10,083 --> 00:02:11,875
Stop, we're off.
9
00:02:12,500 --> 00:02:13,708
Come play with us!
10
00:02:13,875 --> 00:02:17,500
I can't help it,
I love the sound of the engine purring.
11
00:02:17,666 --> 00:02:18,601
So what?
12
00:02:18,625 --> 00:02:21,333
Like when your sister
sleeps on my shoulder.
13
00:02:25,833 --> 00:02:27,458
Bruno and the cars...
14
00:02:33,033 --> 00:02:35,845
LIBYA
FEZZAN DESERT
15
00:03:11,125 --> 00:03:12,583
The last one.
16
00:03:35,416 --> 00:03:36,541
Bruno!
17
00:04:03,083 --> 00:04:04,458
Bruno!
18
00:04:29,041 --> 00:04:30,458
Giacomo, come help me!
19
00:04:43,708 --> 00:04:45,083
There are others!
20
00:04:51,750 --> 00:04:53,041
Come on!
21
00:04:59,958 --> 00:05:00,958
Come on!
22
00:05:03,416 --> 00:05:05,656
Combes and Lassalle, to the left.
Dronne, straight ahead.
23
00:05:06,041 --> 00:05:07,458
Cassard, to the right.
24
00:05:11,958 --> 00:05:13,291
It's over.
25
00:05:37,750 --> 00:05:39,416
All right, Marcel, see you tomorrow.
26
00:05:39,583 --> 00:05:40,833
So long.
27
00:05:45,041 --> 00:05:46,441
Where are the weapons you promised?
28
00:05:46,583 --> 00:05:48,291
Where's the money you promised?
29
00:05:48,458 --> 00:05:49,392
Nothing.
30
00:05:49,416 --> 00:05:51,958
I had 1,000 tons of weapons
and six million francs delivered.
31
00:05:52,125 --> 00:05:54,458
That's all the General could get.
32
00:05:54,625 --> 00:05:57,166
Let's be clear:
drive out the Krauts, of course,
33
00:05:57,333 --> 00:05:58,541
but Vichy and the cowards too.
34
00:05:58,708 --> 00:06:02,083
The parliamentarians won't take over
the Resistance. They betrayed us.
35
00:06:02,250 --> 00:06:05,125
Of course.
But the Resistance fighters must unite.
36
00:06:06,083 --> 00:06:07,666
The Spanish Republicans failed
37
00:06:07,833 --> 00:06:10,208
because they couldn't coordinate.
38
00:06:13,708 --> 00:06:16,833
Rex, I agree to the Secret Army.
39
00:06:19,708 --> 00:06:21,208
Who's going to lead it?
40
00:06:23,916 --> 00:06:25,250
The General.
41
00:06:25,583 --> 00:06:26,791
Which one?
42
00:06:27,333 --> 00:06:28,416
Are you serious?!
43
00:06:28,583 --> 00:06:31,333
Are you following what's happening
in Casablanca?
44
00:06:31,500 --> 00:06:33,166
History is being written there.
45
00:06:33,333 --> 00:06:35,375
Casablanca becomes the centre
46
00:06:35,541 --> 00:06:37,458
of Anglo-American leadership.
47
00:06:37,625 --> 00:06:39,416
It's at the Anfa Hotel
48
00:06:39,583 --> 00:06:43,541
that PM Churchill and Roosevelt,
with their chiefs of staff,
49
00:06:44,041 --> 00:06:46,458
plan for this year's offensive.
50
00:06:46,875 --> 00:06:51,125
Here is the General who will lead
French Forces in battle.
51
00:06:52,333 --> 00:06:57,541
General Giraud will lead the
French after the death of Admiral Darlan.
52
00:07:01,833 --> 00:07:03,166
At least Roosevelt didn't pick
53
00:07:03,333 --> 00:07:04,666
a fellow who shook Hitler's hand.
54
00:07:04,833 --> 00:07:08,500
They found a useful idiot
to better enslave France.
55
00:07:09,458 --> 00:07:10,916
What a show of finesse.
56
00:07:14,416 --> 00:07:17,541
But my General, France's fate
is being decided over there,
57
00:07:17,708 --> 00:07:19,000
in Casablanca.
58
00:07:21,416 --> 00:07:22,708
What's your purpose?
59
00:07:22,958 --> 00:07:24,833
Securing the perimeter.
60
00:07:25,291 --> 00:07:28,500
Against French dissidents.
Order of General Giraud.
61
00:07:33,033 --> 00:07:35,600
CASABLANCA
MOROCCO
62
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,434
We're going to bag us some Gaullists!
There's a whole nest of them.
63
00:07:40,458 --> 00:07:41,625
I want them all.
64
00:07:47,875 --> 00:07:49,291
National Gendarmerie.
65
00:07:50,208 --> 00:07:51,250
Get up!
66
00:07:52,083 --> 00:07:53,208
Against the wall.
67
00:07:53,375 --> 00:07:56,041
Hands on your head.
Lambert, bring me the kid.
68
00:07:56,208 --> 00:07:57,291
Move!
69
00:07:59,041 --> 00:08:00,041
No!
70
00:08:00,625 --> 00:08:04,166
If you don't answer me,
I'll kill your family, then you.
71
00:08:04,333 --> 00:08:06,041
You want that? Where's your daddy?
72
00:08:06,208 --> 00:08:08,333
Don't do that! Stop!
73
00:08:08,500 --> 00:08:11,208
Where's the father?
74
00:08:12,333 --> 00:08:13,416
Move!
75
00:08:14,416 --> 00:08:15,416
Faster.
76
00:08:15,500 --> 00:08:16,750
Your name?
Reynaud.
77
00:08:16,916 --> 00:08:17,916
Your name?
78
00:08:18,375 --> 00:08:19,958
Pennacchioni.
Hurry up, get in.
79
00:08:20,541 --> 00:08:21,583
Move!
Your name?
80
00:08:21,750 --> 00:08:23,041
Giacalone.
Get in!
81
00:08:45,208 --> 00:08:47,541
Clean this up.
Very good, my Warrant Officer.
82
00:08:48,875 --> 00:08:50,250
Put these Gaullists on ice.
83
00:08:50,583 --> 00:08:53,416
All right, move along.
Come on, hurry up! Hurry.
84
00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:54,791
Move!
85
00:08:56,333 --> 00:08:57,708
General Giraud...
86
00:09:02,375 --> 00:09:05,208
I'll say it again,
Churchill has a plane ready for you.
87
00:09:05,500 --> 00:09:09,041
I won't go to Casablanca
by plane or by canoe, Pleven.
88
00:09:09,208 --> 00:09:10,458
My General...
89
00:09:10,958 --> 00:09:14,083
The fate of the world is at stake there.
And Churchill invites you.
90
00:09:14,791 --> 00:09:17,458
Nobody invites de Gaulle in France.
91
00:09:18,916 --> 00:09:20,500
It's a trap.
92
00:09:45,958 --> 00:09:47,916
If de Gaulle doesn't go to Casablanca,
93
00:09:48,458 --> 00:09:49,875
then for us, it's Giraud.
94
00:09:50,208 --> 00:09:51,541
I heard.
95
00:09:52,291 --> 00:09:54,500
Livia, code a telegram
for the General.
96
00:09:54,666 --> 00:09:56,184
We have to handle
this Casablanca business.
97
00:09:56,208 --> 00:09:57,250
Understood.
98
00:09:58,583 --> 00:10:01,708
The prisoners, in the hangar.
Yes, my Captain.
99
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Message for de Gaulle:
"Mission accomplished in Libya.
100
00:10:08,166 --> 00:10:09,750
"Joining the English at Tripoli.
101
00:10:10,333 --> 00:10:11,500
"Signed, Leclerc."
102
00:10:11,833 --> 00:10:13,083
Received, my Colonel.
103
00:10:33,033 --> 00:10:40,035
THE BATTLE OF DE GAULLE - I WRITE YOUR NAME (a
reference to the poem 'Liberté' by Paul Éluard)
104
00:10:51,666 --> 00:10:52,833
Sir...
105
00:11:02,750 --> 00:11:03,791
What, Blaise?
106
00:11:03,958 --> 00:11:05,000
Sir,
107
00:11:05,666 --> 00:11:07,625
I heard people talk about a fake general
108
00:11:07,791 --> 00:11:09,875
who claims to be the
leader of the fighting French.
109
00:11:10,041 --> 00:11:12,500
He's not a fake general.
He is a general!
110
00:11:12,501 --> 00:11:13,309
No.
111
00:11:13,333 --> 00:11:15,125
You are the hero of France.
112
00:11:15,291 --> 00:11:17,208
Her knight without fear or blame.
113
00:11:17,375 --> 00:11:19,291
Not anymore, Blaise!
114
00:11:19,666 --> 00:11:22,583
Are you mad, my General?
Everyone looks up to you.
115
00:11:23,166 --> 00:11:25,375
Men read your story on the newspapers.
116
00:11:25,541 --> 00:11:28,541
The Americans are even preparing
a film about you.
117
00:11:28,958 --> 00:11:31,500
Maybe Chaplin will star as you.
118
00:11:31,666 --> 00:11:33,708
I couldn't give a damn, Blaise!
119
00:11:56,833 --> 00:11:57,833
Pleven.
120
00:11:58,500 --> 00:11:59,500
Ah.
121
00:11:59,958 --> 00:12:01,833
Tell him I'm going to Casablanca.
122
00:12:02,416 --> 00:12:03,541
Yes, sir.
123
00:12:51,333 --> 00:12:52,333
Let's go!
124
00:13:00,791 --> 00:13:04,375
We're taking precautions
to keep your arrival secret.
125
00:13:04,541 --> 00:13:06,083
Is this a French decision?
126
00:13:06,750 --> 00:13:07,833
It is.
127
00:13:28,500 --> 00:13:29,583
Stand back!
128
00:13:48,291 --> 00:13:49,333
Sorry!
129
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,000
Simplest thing:
create a binational army corps.
130
00:14:03,166 --> 00:14:05,083
Harold, may I help you?
131
00:14:05,250 --> 00:14:08,125
Yes, I'm looking for "Admiral Q".
132
00:14:09,041 --> 00:14:10,083
Churchill?
133
00:14:11,166 --> 00:14:13,625
He is with "Commodore Frankland".
134
00:14:28,250 --> 00:14:29,142
Mr. President...
135
00:14:29,166 --> 00:14:30,166
And there you have it!
136
00:14:31,375 --> 00:14:33,333
General de Gaulle has landed, sir.
137
00:14:33,833 --> 00:14:35,750
Here comes the bride!
138
00:14:36,708 --> 00:14:38,916
Congratulations, you
finally managed to do it.
139
00:14:39,750 --> 00:14:42,333
Eisenhower, is the groom ready?
140
00:14:42,875 --> 00:14:44,750
General Giraud is downstairs.
141
00:14:45,458 --> 00:14:47,541
Well, that's something
to celebrate indeed!
142
00:14:48,708 --> 00:14:51,041
The end of the French mess.
143
00:14:51,833 --> 00:14:54,708
Tomorrow, Winston, we'll
have one French army.
144
00:14:54,875 --> 00:14:56,791
One leader, one subordinate.
145
00:14:56,958 --> 00:14:58,458
Some order at last!
146
00:14:58,625 --> 00:15:01,267
Giraud's L'armée d'Afrique has
the numbers. But De Gaulle's men have
147
00:15:01,291 --> 00:15:05,832
fire in their bellies.
And that's what matters in war.
148
00:15:05,833 --> 00:15:06,833
Well,
149
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,800
that's all good, then. They'll put
fire in the belly's of Giraud's men.
150
00:15:10,250 --> 00:15:11,875
If only it were
so simple, Mr. President.
151
00:15:12,041 --> 00:15:14,416
The groom, as you call it,
152
00:15:14,875 --> 00:15:17,000
is surrounded by ex-Vichysts.
153
00:15:17,166 --> 00:15:20,458
De Gaulle and his free fighters
see them as traitors.
154
00:15:20,916 --> 00:15:23,458
Could you please remind me:
155
00:15:24,083 --> 00:15:26,458
Who pays for De Gaulle's troops?
156
00:15:27,541 --> 00:15:30,625
I won't fund his private
war against Vichy.
157
00:15:30,791 --> 00:15:32,791
We'll bury it in a committee.
158
00:15:34,500 --> 00:15:38,291
You get so emotional when it
comes to the French.
159
00:15:39,583 --> 00:15:42,916
You're like Dr Frankenstein,
scared of his own monster.
160
00:15:43,083 --> 00:15:45,000
Mr. President!
- You know what, Winston?
161
00:15:48,083 --> 00:15:49,583
I'll meet him first.
162
00:15:52,791 --> 00:15:54,875
Be my guest, Mr. President.
163
00:15:56,916 --> 00:16:00,208
My heaviest cross I have
to bear in this war...
164
00:16:02,041 --> 00:16:04,000
is the cross of Lorraine.
165
00:16:28,500 --> 00:16:31,458
General de Gaulle, the President
will see you now on tête-à-tête.
166
00:16:31,625 --> 00:16:32,791
Follow me!
167
00:16:47,250 --> 00:16:48,625
General de Gaulle,
168
00:16:49,125 --> 00:16:50,375
at long last!
169
00:16:53,875 --> 00:16:55,291
It's such a pleasure
170
00:16:56,625 --> 00:16:58,750
to meet you.
171
00:17:00,375 --> 00:17:03,125
The pleasure is all mine,
Mr. President.
172
00:17:04,166 --> 00:17:05,833
I can't say "welcome."
173
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:07,833
You're at home here.
174
00:17:20,791 --> 00:17:21,791
So...
175
00:17:24,416 --> 00:17:28,041
Your country's collapse when
the Germans invaded...
176
00:17:28,500 --> 00:17:31,000
was a real shock. Six weeks?
177
00:17:31,875 --> 00:17:33,583
We will get you out of there.
178
00:17:34,041 --> 00:17:36,791
You see a child attacked by savages,
179
00:17:36,958 --> 00:17:38,833
you'd step in, yes?
180
00:17:39,833 --> 00:17:42,875
France is not a child,
Mr. President.
181
00:17:43,041 --> 00:17:45,125
She never stopped fighting.
182
00:17:45,541 --> 00:17:47,458
The troops...
- Your troops?
183
00:17:49,208 --> 00:17:51,250
Tell me, how many are we talking about?
184
00:17:51,666 --> 00:17:53,000
Ten thousand men?
185
00:17:54,083 --> 00:17:55,666
A battalion in the desert?
186
00:17:56,291 --> 00:17:59,666
General Giraud's army takes charge.
187
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:05,666
General Giraud is a good soldier.
He'll make a passable military chief.
188
00:18:05,833 --> 00:18:07,875
But war is a moral matter.
189
00:18:08,291 --> 00:18:11,750
The soldiers who die must fight
for a moral cause.
190
00:18:11,916 --> 00:18:14,500
France needs a moral authority,
191
00:18:14,666 --> 00:18:17,750
not a desk clerk.
- As long as France is occupied,
192
00:18:18,208 --> 00:18:20,750
nobody has moral authority.
193
00:18:23,333 --> 00:18:25,083
You chose our side,
194
00:18:25,250 --> 00:18:26,666
the side of freedom.
195
00:18:27,125 --> 00:18:29,458
But you're still a lone general,
196
00:18:29,625 --> 00:18:32,500
backed by no political party,
no members of parliament.
197
00:18:32,501 --> 00:18:33,999
You've never been elected anything.
198
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,000
A rebel!
199
00:18:36,041 --> 00:18:38,541
Neither was Joan of Arc.
200
00:18:38,958 --> 00:18:41,666
My General,
Winston and I need you
201
00:18:41,833 --> 00:18:43,958
to get along with Giraud.
202
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:45,000
You understand?
203
00:18:45,875 --> 00:18:47,416
To help you out,
204
00:18:47,583 --> 00:18:49,916
we've taken the liberty
of drafting a memo.
205
00:18:50,750 --> 00:18:54,541
Suggesting terms of an agreement
between the two of you.
206
00:18:58,250 --> 00:19:00,750
If it serves France's interests.
207
00:19:04,750 --> 00:19:05,791
Yes...
208
00:19:06,625 --> 00:19:08,875
The conference wraps up tomorrow,
209
00:19:09,458 --> 00:19:12,825
that gives you time to
exercise your legendary wisdom.
210
00:19:15,958 --> 00:19:17,041
Mr. President.
211
00:19:17,333 --> 00:19:18,541
Tomorrow, my General.
212
00:19:29,916 --> 00:19:33,083
What an odd character.
- He's a lunatic.
213
00:19:34,041 --> 00:19:36,875
Clueless about politics.
214
00:19:38,541 --> 00:19:40,625
I expected something more challenging.
215
00:19:41,291 --> 00:19:43,291
Don't leave before he signs it!
216
00:20:15,250 --> 00:20:18,958
I hope you enjoyed
the tête-à-tête.
217
00:20:19,125 --> 00:20:20,625
Harold McMillan.
218
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,750
I'm the Prime Minister's special envoy
219
00:20:23,916 --> 00:20:25,166
Churchill, and I...
220
00:20:25,666 --> 00:20:30,166
It's an agreement that fully respects
your rank, my General.
221
00:20:30,333 --> 00:20:31,750
I'll stay in case
222
00:20:31,916 --> 00:20:33,708
you have a quest...
- Keep them
223
00:20:33,875 --> 00:20:35,125
for your enemies.
224
00:20:43,041 --> 00:20:45,000
Oh, my plane...
225
00:20:45,708 --> 00:20:47,458
crashed.
226
00:20:48,791 --> 00:20:50,625
Did I ask a question?
227
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:18,000
To put me
228
00:21:18,500 --> 00:21:21,833
into a committee with Marcel Peyrouton,
229
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,375
a Vichyite from the very start...
- My General, they hold the cards.
230
00:21:25,541 --> 00:21:28,708
And Giraud brings them 400,000 men.
We're
231
00:21:28,875 --> 00:21:30,875
barely 13,000
counting drivers and secretaries.
232
00:21:31,041 --> 00:21:32,416
It's settled.
233
00:22:28,125 --> 00:22:29,750
I guess we're set, then.
234
00:22:32,041 --> 00:22:33,333
Mr. President,
235
00:22:33,750 --> 00:22:37,041
all I need
is equipment for my troops.
236
00:22:37,208 --> 00:22:40,666
You promised tanks...
- Don't worry, my friend!
237
00:22:40,833 --> 00:22:43,875
He said you'll get the tanks.
238
00:22:44,041 --> 00:22:48,041
Is your creature aware we have
other matters to address today?
239
00:22:48,208 --> 00:22:49,291
You think?
240
00:22:50,750 --> 00:22:51,750
Sir!
241
00:22:51,833 --> 00:22:52,875
Ah!
242
00:22:53,916 --> 00:22:57,791
Two half brigades and you'd think
he's got more troops than Stalin!
243
00:23:02,291 --> 00:23:03,333
Hello, Gaulle.
244
00:23:03,500 --> 00:23:05,375
Slept well, General?
245
00:23:07,041 --> 00:23:11,250
Unfortunately we cannot
accept the terms suggested.
246
00:23:11,791 --> 00:23:14,958
But we'll see all that with General
Giraud over the next weeks.
247
00:23:14,959 --> 00:23:15,959
Between Frenchmen.
248
00:23:16,041 --> 00:23:19,291
You can't obstruct the war,
General de Gaulle!
249
00:23:19,458 --> 00:23:22,750
If you don't sign,
I'll denounce you to Parliament
250
00:23:22,916 --> 00:23:25,208
and to the press, and we'll go
251
00:23:25,375 --> 00:23:26,625
our own way without you.
252
00:23:26,791 --> 00:23:29,416
You're perfectly free
to dishonour yourself,
253
00:23:29,583 --> 00:23:31,958
Mr. Prime Minister.
- Hold, hold on.
254
00:23:38,125 --> 00:23:41,000
General, you may be right,
255
00:23:41,458 --> 00:23:43,458
it's a bit premature.
256
00:23:44,208 --> 00:23:48,416
So, for now, perhaps it will be
enough to confirm our commitment
257
00:23:48,583 --> 00:23:52,541
to working out a mutually agreeable
solution in the future.
258
00:23:52,708 --> 00:23:55,500
And simply shake hands.
259
00:23:59,166 --> 00:24:00,208
Of course. Why not?
260
00:24:00,375 --> 00:24:01,309
Very good!
261
00:24:01,333 --> 00:24:02,333
Boys.
262
00:24:02,833 --> 00:24:04,625
No time like the present.
263
00:24:07,625 --> 00:24:08,958
Alright, gentlemen...
264
00:24:11,458 --> 00:24:12,625
follow me!
265
00:24:19,916 --> 00:24:23,166
The closing press conference
will begin in 15 minutes.
266
00:24:23,333 --> 00:24:25,041
Ah, about time.
267
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,125
My friends...
268
00:24:31,916 --> 00:24:33,458
You may approach now.
269
00:24:44,916 --> 00:24:46,541
Ta-da.
270
00:25:06,625 --> 00:25:09,041
All set to break camp?
- My Colonel!
271
00:25:10,708 --> 00:25:11,833
You finished?
- Almost.
272
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,041
Hurry up.
- I'm doing what I can.
273
00:25:14,208 --> 00:25:15,416
My Colonel.
274
00:25:18,416 --> 00:25:19,583
My Colonel.
275
00:25:19,750 --> 00:25:20,791
My Colonel.
276
00:25:28,208 --> 00:25:30,625
Congratulations.
You've been promoted to general.
277
00:25:30,791 --> 00:25:33,750
Cut the crap.
- The General signed the promotion.
278
00:25:39,250 --> 00:25:42,666
Combes, what's Force L's
duty number one?
279
00:25:42,833 --> 00:25:44,916
Never obey a stupid order,
my General.
280
00:25:45,083 --> 00:25:46,375
That's right.
281
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,416
We're breaking camp.
- My Colonel, message from the Americans:
282
00:25:50,583 --> 00:25:53,416
"Stand by
and await instructions from Giraud."
283
00:25:53,583 --> 00:25:54,666
What?
284
00:25:55,125 --> 00:25:56,333
That's right, yeah.
285
00:25:56,833 --> 00:25:59,291
De Gaulle is said to have
made a deal with Giraud.
286
00:26:00,916 --> 00:26:04,875
What do we do, my General?
- De Gaulle, with a Vichyite?
287
00:26:13,625 --> 00:26:14,666
Congratulations!
288
00:26:16,625 --> 00:26:18,375
Coming from you, Peyrouton?
289
00:26:18,541 --> 00:26:21,666
The base and the top.
The city's been cleared of Gaullists.
290
00:26:21,833 --> 00:26:23,958
Their master has bowed his back.
291
00:26:24,583 --> 00:26:26,166
Checkmate.
292
00:26:27,458 --> 00:26:30,541
I like your American friends
more and more.
293
00:26:44,875 --> 00:26:47,125
France will be rid of the Germans,
294
00:26:47,416 --> 00:26:49,041
but not of the Vichyites.
295
00:26:50,916 --> 00:26:52,166
Giraud?
296
00:26:52,583 --> 00:26:53,583
But...
297
00:26:53,916 --> 00:26:55,500
The Resistance with him?
298
00:26:57,666 --> 00:27:00,250
Free France is about to disappear.
299
00:27:04,958 --> 00:27:06,083
No, no, we can't
300
00:27:06,250 --> 00:27:09,666
sign with Giraud.
- We don't even know what we'd be signing.
301
00:27:24,375 --> 00:27:26,000
So, how's the vacation?
302
00:27:26,416 --> 00:27:28,708
DE GAULLE ACCEPTS
GIRAUD'S TERMS
303
00:27:30,125 --> 00:27:32,250
We're studying our options.
304
00:27:38,041 --> 00:27:40,458
There's no point staying in London anymore.
305
00:27:40,875 --> 00:27:41,958
Here.
306
00:27:43,416 --> 00:27:46,166
We've received a note
from Downing Street.
307
00:27:46,333 --> 00:27:48,500
Churchill intends to keep you in London.
308
00:27:49,583 --> 00:27:52,208
He won't put any plane
at your disposal.
309
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,208
Except to Algiers.
310
00:27:54,791 --> 00:27:57,583
To go and come to terms with Giraud.
311
00:27:59,541 --> 00:28:02,958
So, Pleven, I'm a prisoner.
312
00:28:03,541 --> 00:28:04,666
Giraud is a pure soldier.
313
00:28:04,833 --> 00:28:07,500
You have to sign with him
to neutralise him.
314
00:28:08,208 --> 00:28:11,000
Catroux is manoeuvring to get an agreement
315
00:28:11,166 --> 00:28:13,541
that leaves your hands free.
- Free?
316
00:28:16,875 --> 00:28:19,708
You're clueless about politics.
317
00:28:20,416 --> 00:28:23,375
Giraud is an American puppet.
318
00:30:19,791 --> 00:30:20,875
Rex.
319
00:30:21,041 --> 00:30:22,083
Yes, sir!
320
00:30:22,916 --> 00:30:24,708
You're not listed for this transport.
321
00:30:24,875 --> 00:30:27,000
I have to get to London.
At the next moon,
322
00:30:27,166 --> 00:30:28,333
it'll be too late.
323
00:30:30,250 --> 00:30:32,500
Listen to me,
it's vital for the General.
324
00:30:32,666 --> 00:30:34,708
If it were, I'd have received an order.
325
00:30:34,875 --> 00:30:36,083
He doesn't know.
326
00:30:38,458 --> 00:30:40,041
He needs my help.
327
00:30:52,375 --> 00:30:54,333
Yes, my Colonel?
- Break camp.
328
00:30:54,500 --> 00:30:55,875
What do we answer?
329
00:30:56,041 --> 00:30:57,875
That we never obey a stupid order.
330
00:30:58,041 --> 00:31:00,083
We carry on.
The General needs us.
331
00:31:00,541 --> 00:31:01,791
Received, my General.
332
00:31:03,916 --> 00:31:04,916
Break camp!
333
00:31:08,291 --> 00:31:10,750
He left?
- No, he left Giraud.
334
00:31:11,791 --> 00:31:13,875
To join our troops in Tripoli.
335
00:31:15,291 --> 00:31:18,250
That's still a good thing, right?
336
00:31:25,583 --> 00:31:26,583
Perhaps.
337
00:31:29,708 --> 00:31:31,458
The French are here!
338
00:31:34,500 --> 00:31:36,791
8th BRITISH ARMY.
339
00:31:47,375 --> 00:31:48,833
Well done, boys!
340
00:32:09,625 --> 00:32:11,500
A good shower now!
341
00:32:17,041 --> 00:32:19,333
General Leclerc.
- General Montgomery.
342
00:32:20,291 --> 00:32:21,184
Mmh...
343
00:32:21,208 --> 00:32:22,208
Alright.
344
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:33,166
To be honest,
345
00:32:33,333 --> 00:32:36,833
when I heard you were starting your
journey a thousand miles from here,
346
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:40,875
I never thought I'd lay eyes on you
alive. And here you are.
347
00:32:42,250 --> 00:32:44,291
General Giraud must be proud.
348
00:32:44,583 --> 00:32:45,833
We men have come to fight.
349
00:32:46,791 --> 00:32:48,000
I understand.
350
00:32:48,166 --> 00:32:51,791
I am grateful to you,
but it is a complex operation...
351
00:32:55,291 --> 00:32:56,583
If you insist.
352
00:32:56,750 --> 00:32:59,833
The 1st American Division occupies Gafsa.
353
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,500
They'll keep Rommel boxed in.
354
00:33:02,666 --> 00:33:05,375
My men will push it from the south
355
00:33:05,541 --> 00:33:07,375
to trap him in Tunis.
356
00:33:07,541 --> 00:33:10,250
If he crosses the Mareth line,
he takes you from behind.
357
00:33:10,416 --> 00:33:12,875
No, a battalion
will cover my left flank.
358
00:33:13,041 --> 00:33:15,916
You will only have two divisions,
he has three.
359
00:33:18,500 --> 00:33:19,541
That's right.
360
00:33:19,708 --> 00:33:21,500
General, I know my
men and I look awful,
361
00:33:21,666 --> 00:33:24,250
but we are fast
and we know the desert.
362
00:33:24,416 --> 00:33:26,166
We can cover your left flank.
363
00:33:26,333 --> 00:33:27,958
How many are you?
- A thousand men.
364
00:33:37,208 --> 00:33:39,208
We will provide boots and the guns,
365
00:33:39,541 --> 00:33:41,583
and come decent clothes.
366
00:34:15,416 --> 00:34:19,375
All together.
- If one day, our children.
367
00:34:19,541 --> 00:34:23,208
Ask their mothers.
368
00:34:23,375 --> 00:34:24,500
Where we were.
369
00:34:25,166 --> 00:34:27,875
Why we are gone.
- Come on!
370
00:34:28,041 --> 00:34:31,958
Tell them their fathers!
371
00:34:32,458 --> 00:34:35,416
Were Leclerc's boys.
372
00:34:36,333 --> 00:34:40,625
And that we never surrendered.
373
00:34:40,916 --> 00:34:44,625
Tremble, enemies of France.
374
00:34:45,250 --> 00:34:49,208
Tyrants drunk with blood and hate.
375
00:34:49,375 --> 00:34:52,375
Those who know how
to die will give the world.
376
00:34:53,166 --> 00:34:57,250
Peace and liberty.
377
00:34:58,250 --> 00:35:01,541
And when France calls us.
378
00:35:02,208 --> 00:35:05,541
Let us conquer or let us perish!
379
00:35:05,708 --> 00:35:09,000
A Frenchman must live for her.
380
00:35:09,583 --> 00:35:13,333
For her, a Frenchman must die.
381
00:35:13,500 --> 00:35:16,125
Yeah!
382
00:35:39,033 --> 00:35:41,833
MARETH LINE
KSAR GHILANE DESERT
383
00:35:50,291 --> 00:35:53,000
Conversation in Wolof language.
384
00:35:59,208 --> 00:36:00,500
Head north.
385
00:36:11,958 --> 00:36:13,208
Ammunition!
386
00:36:21,208 --> 00:36:22,916
You all right, Mirloin?
- Yeah.
387
00:36:23,083 --> 00:36:24,625
We almost had to wait.
388
00:36:25,083 --> 00:36:26,500
Here, for your trouble.
389
00:36:56,583 --> 00:36:57,583
What's that thing?
390
00:36:57,625 --> 00:36:58,708
Wait.
391
00:36:59,708 --> 00:37:00,916
Two more Stukas.
392
00:37:01,375 --> 00:37:02,625
So that's 18.
393
00:37:03,125 --> 00:37:04,416
Plus one, 19.
394
00:37:04,583 --> 00:37:06,083
A Panzer division.
395
00:37:07,833 --> 00:37:08,833
They're regrouping.
396
00:37:11,083 --> 00:37:12,750
Reconnaissance vehicles.
397
00:37:22,416 --> 00:37:25,958
Heavy enemy presence.
You're not equipped for this.
398
00:37:26,125 --> 00:37:27,416
Fall back toward the sea!
399
00:37:36,833 --> 00:37:38,000
Against a Panzer division?
400
00:37:38,750 --> 00:37:40,291
And without a single tank.
- Oh!
401
00:37:41,916 --> 00:37:43,750
Dronne, Raynal,
402
00:37:43,916 --> 00:37:44,916
what's going on?
403
00:37:45,041 --> 00:37:47,666
Next skirmish,
you send them running.
404
00:37:47,833 --> 00:37:48,833
A whole Panzer division,
405
00:37:49,583 --> 00:37:50,666
all of it!
406
00:38:07,416 --> 00:38:09,500
Officers of Force I!
407
00:38:10,333 --> 00:38:12,500
Come on, gather round!
Quick, quick, quick!
408
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:30,916
These Kraut gentlemen
want to cross the Mareth Line.
409
00:38:31,583 --> 00:38:32,476
Our line.
410
00:38:32,500 --> 00:38:34,416
How many Krauts?
- We counted
411
00:38:34,583 --> 00:38:35,916
19 planes.
412
00:38:36,083 --> 00:38:37,833
So there should be 90 armoured vehicles.
413
00:38:38,250 --> 00:38:40,041
The 15th's.
414
00:38:44,208 --> 00:38:45,708
There are two passes.
415
00:38:46,250 --> 00:38:49,541
They'll move into both,
at the same time.
416
00:38:51,291 --> 00:38:52,750
We'll let them in.
417
00:38:53,375 --> 00:38:54,916
They'll roll right over us.
418
00:38:55,625 --> 00:38:56,625
Dio,
419
00:38:57,416 --> 00:38:58,458
you'll hide your men
420
00:38:58,625 --> 00:39:00,166
on the north one.
421
00:39:00,500 --> 00:39:02,291
Dronne,
422
00:39:02,458 --> 00:39:04,125
you'll take this one.
Combe,
423
00:39:04,500 --> 00:39:05,833
with me on the ridge,
424
00:39:06,250 --> 00:39:07,875
at the epicentre.
- But will we have
425
00:39:08,041 --> 00:39:09,458
air support?
426
00:39:09,916 --> 00:39:11,041
I don't think so.
427
00:39:12,083 --> 00:39:13,750
The English air force is assigned
428
00:39:13,916 --> 00:39:16,541
to priority missions in the east.
- My General,
429
00:39:17,041 --> 00:39:18,583
we've won every battle.
430
00:39:18,750 --> 00:39:21,500
You want us to get licked
by a Panzer division?
431
00:39:21,666 --> 00:39:22,958
It's not coming for us.
432
00:39:23,125 --> 00:39:25,208
Did you see Montgomery's order?
433
00:39:25,791 --> 00:39:29,250
Avoid all contact
and fall back 90 kilometres toward the sea.
434
00:39:29,833 --> 00:39:30,726
Take cover!
435
00:39:30,750 --> 00:39:32,208
My General, get down!
436
00:39:34,333 --> 00:39:35,333
Bang! Bang!
437
00:39:35,416 --> 00:39:36,875
Bang! Bang!
438
00:39:37,041 --> 00:39:38,708
My General, don't stay there!
439
00:39:47,458 --> 00:39:49,375
Has somebody forgotten
duty number one
440
00:39:49,541 --> 00:39:50,833
of Force I?
441
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
But this isn't a stupid order.
442
00:39:53,166 --> 00:39:54,916
Epic music.
443
00:39:56,291 --> 00:39:59,916
Some people don't understand
fighting France at all.
444
00:40:03,416 --> 00:40:07,083
Back home, kids
fight with nothing in their hands.
445
00:40:11,625 --> 00:40:14,666
Sure, we get no news.
446
00:40:16,125 --> 00:40:17,833
But we all have a brother,
447
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:19,125
a sister,
448
00:40:19,291 --> 00:40:20,583
a cousin,
449
00:40:20,750 --> 00:40:24,000
who, leaning against a cellar wall,
fights off sleep
450
00:40:24,166 --> 00:40:26,500
to send information to London.
451
00:40:27,583 --> 00:40:29,083
We all have a friend
452
00:40:29,250 --> 00:40:32,750
who, sent on a sabotage job, comes
out of a wood, crosses a mountain,
453
00:40:32,916 --> 00:40:38,166
finds a boat on a beach with no sail,
no oar, no mast, no rope
454
00:40:38,333 --> 00:40:40,250
and climbs in without a second thought.
455
00:40:42,875 --> 00:40:46,375
Over there, each man is alone
and in constant danger of death.
456
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,041
And not one of them would quit
457
00:40:50,625 --> 00:40:53,666
without even knowing
if his mission will matter.
458
00:40:54,000 --> 00:40:56,750
All of them count on
the day, sooner or later,
459
00:40:56,916 --> 00:41:00,041
when the enemy is drowned
by all these anonymous acts.
460
00:41:05,425 --> 00:41:06,825
So we,
461
00:41:07,541 --> 00:41:11,333
who have the luck to fight,
together, armed,
462
00:41:11,875 --> 00:41:13,250
and in broad daylight,
463
00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:16,916
let's prove worthy.
464
00:41:22,291 --> 00:41:24,833
Does anyone here still want to retreat?
465
00:41:39,208 --> 00:41:40,208
Dismissed.
466
00:41:53,541 --> 00:41:54,581
Go with the supply column.
467
00:41:54,708 --> 00:41:57,333
No, I'm doing my job
and I know the risks.
468
00:41:57,500 --> 00:42:00,416
We're not talking risks anymore,
we're talking suicide mission.
469
00:42:00,583 --> 00:42:01,791
Go with the...
470
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:26,458
Hey, Mademba!
471
00:42:40,083 --> 00:42:41,416
The Krauts!
472
00:42:41,583 --> 00:42:42,916
The Krauts are coming!
473
00:42:51,416 --> 00:42:52,416
12 tanks.
474
00:42:53,375 --> 00:42:54,416
No infantry in sight.
475
00:42:55,791 --> 00:42:57,541
No infantry support in sight.
476
00:42:58,708 --> 00:43:00,588
12 armoured vehicles,
the count doesn't add up.
477
00:43:01,125 --> 00:43:03,750
They want us to show ourselves.
- Everybody in position!
478
00:43:10,541 --> 00:43:12,875
You'll fire on my command,
479
00:43:13,041 --> 00:43:15,000
and on my command only!
480
00:45:24,541 --> 00:45:26,625
Two seconds!
- What are we waiting for?
481
00:45:27,458 --> 00:45:30,166
We've got to shoot, now!
- We've got to shoot, we've got to shoot.
482
00:45:30,875 --> 00:45:32,541
What are we waiting for?
483
00:45:32,708 --> 00:45:33,958
Two seconds!
484
00:45:40,833 --> 00:45:42,708
That's the 12th tank.
485
00:45:42,875 --> 00:45:44,250
12th tank!
486
00:45:56,375 --> 00:45:57,416
Fire!
487
00:45:57,583 --> 00:45:58,476
Fire!
488
00:45:58,500 --> 00:45:59,500
Fire!
489
00:46:05,125 --> 00:46:06,125
Fire!
490
00:46:17,875 --> 00:46:18,875
Fire!
491
00:46:20,625 --> 00:46:21,625
Load.
492
00:46:37,416 --> 00:46:39,125
Right load, fire!
493
00:46:46,791 --> 00:46:47,791
Fire!
494
00:46:49,333 --> 00:46:50,333
Fire to the right!
495
00:47:05,041 --> 00:47:06,375
You, stay. You, take him
496
00:47:06,541 --> 00:47:09,375
to be taken care of.
Come back, we're holding the position!
497
00:47:09,541 --> 00:47:10,791
Received.
498
00:47:14,375 --> 00:47:16,166
At least 15 more tanks!
499
00:47:46,708 --> 00:47:48,416
The Secret Army is taking shape.
500
00:47:48,583 --> 00:47:50,000
We'll be able to strike hard.
501
00:47:50,958 --> 00:47:53,666
Hold your fire
and keep losses down.
502
00:47:54,750 --> 00:47:56,625
For now, we're alone.
503
00:47:59,041 --> 00:48:02,291
I'm alone facing America,
and only America counts.
504
00:48:03,416 --> 00:48:04,416
Don't be mistaken!
505
00:48:05,583 --> 00:48:09,500
Roosevelt is a Francophile.
He speaks French like you and me.
506
00:48:10,625 --> 00:48:12,250
Then what's his problem?
507
00:48:13,125 --> 00:48:17,291
In 1940,
we were the bulwark against Hitler.
508
00:48:17,875 --> 00:48:19,041
When Paris fell,
509
00:48:19,208 --> 00:48:22,000
after we fought so badly and so little,
510
00:48:22,166 --> 00:48:23,375
he was shocked.
511
00:48:23,541 --> 00:48:24,750
Like all of us.
512
00:48:25,083 --> 00:48:26,208
Exactly.
513
00:48:26,583 --> 00:48:28,958
So he should support Free France.
514
00:48:29,333 --> 00:48:32,041
To him, France no longer exists.
515
00:48:32,208 --> 00:48:36,000
And to have peace,
he puts a pawn in the middle of the board:
516
00:48:36,166 --> 00:48:37,291
Giraud.
517
00:48:37,708 --> 00:48:38,708
To have peace?
518
00:48:38,750 --> 00:48:40,375
To not have in front of him
519
00:48:40,541 --> 00:48:43,541
someone who means
to make France a country again.
520
00:48:46,166 --> 00:48:48,750
Mr. Prefect,
521
00:48:49,250 --> 00:48:51,458
I have no support from the parliamentarians.
522
00:48:51,625 --> 00:48:54,000
They voted full powers to Pétain.
523
00:48:54,166 --> 00:48:58,000
I have few soldiers, and they're
dissidents from a beaten army.
524
00:48:58,166 --> 00:48:59,166
In other words,
525
00:48:59,500 --> 00:49:02,541
I embody everything
the Americans hate.
526
00:49:03,833 --> 00:49:04,958
I'm weak.
527
00:49:06,000 --> 00:49:07,458
And I stand my ground.
528
00:49:11,375 --> 00:49:12,458
And Churchill?
529
00:49:12,708 --> 00:49:13,958
Ah, Churchill...
530
00:49:14,583 --> 00:49:18,125
I pledge allegiance to Giraud
or he cuts off our supplies.
531
00:49:23,583 --> 00:49:25,333
Then the Resistance is dead.
532
00:50:01,375 --> 00:50:05,875
I may be an obstacle
to France's future.
533
00:50:18,666 --> 00:50:21,208
I saw the Krauts
repositioning to the south-east.
534
00:50:21,750 --> 00:50:23,541
We're going to catch hell.
535
00:50:24,708 --> 00:50:25,916
My General,
536
00:50:26,083 --> 00:50:28,833
we have to evacuate the wounded,
it's now or never.
537
00:50:30,666 --> 00:50:32,250
Immediate evacuation!
538
00:50:33,291 --> 00:50:34,875
Wounded in the ambulances!
539
00:50:36,125 --> 00:50:37,325
You're going with them, Davis.
540
00:50:39,583 --> 00:50:40,791
Listen to me carefully!
541
00:50:41,916 --> 00:50:43,250
We may all buy it.
542
00:50:43,958 --> 00:50:46,125
But I need you to stay alive.
543
00:50:46,833 --> 00:50:50,291
So people know we're undefeated,
we Free French.
544
00:50:50,875 --> 00:50:52,541
The Krauts never beat us.
545
00:50:52,708 --> 00:50:55,125
We don't fall back,
we don't submit.
546
00:50:55,291 --> 00:50:57,971
Our children will have nothing
to reproach us for when we come home.
547
00:50:59,958 --> 00:51:01,208
You understand?
548
00:51:29,125 --> 00:51:30,445
Troop movement to the south-east.
549
00:51:30,583 --> 00:51:33,333
Take the rest of the artillery
and form a defence line!
550
00:51:33,500 --> 00:51:34,708
Received, my General.
551
00:51:34,875 --> 00:51:36,333
Troops to the south-east!
552
00:51:36,500 --> 00:51:39,166
Troop movement to the south-east,
confirm.
553
00:51:56,250 --> 00:51:58,375
Sometimes one card turns everything around.
554
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,291
The parliamentarians.
555
00:52:01,708 --> 00:52:03,250
The parliamentarians?
556
00:52:03,416 --> 00:52:05,291
Why not the political parties?
557
00:52:05,458 --> 00:52:07,500
Why not, indeed.
- Because they handed over
558
00:52:07,666 --> 00:52:08,833
France.
559
00:52:09,750 --> 00:52:13,166
They're still elected,
legitimate to the Allies, not to us.
560
00:52:13,333 --> 00:52:15,666
No Free Frenchman will accept it.
561
00:52:16,208 --> 00:52:18,958
Without Allied support,
who'll finance them?
562
00:52:20,208 --> 00:52:21,708
What are you claiming?
563
00:52:22,166 --> 00:52:25,375
Gamble the fate of Free France on cards?
564
00:52:25,708 --> 00:52:28,125
Picking parliamentarians at random,
565
00:52:28,291 --> 00:52:30,875
watched by the Germans
night and day?
566
00:52:31,291 --> 00:52:33,416
Gathering them in a room
567
00:52:33,791 --> 00:52:36,583
with Resistance men hunted by the Gestapo?
568
00:52:37,875 --> 00:52:40,583
And on top of that you hope
569
00:52:40,750 --> 00:52:44,166
to get them to agree
when they cordially detest each other?
570
00:52:45,666 --> 00:52:47,416
If you trust me, yes.
571
00:52:49,041 --> 00:52:52,166
That's not trust,
that's the faith of the early Christians.
572
00:52:52,333 --> 00:52:54,458
It took that
to create Free France
573
00:52:54,625 --> 00:52:55,833
with an aide-de-camp.
574
00:53:00,041 --> 00:53:01,375
I have to go back.
575
00:53:04,583 --> 00:53:07,125
Don't go to Algiers
unless you're in a position of strength.
576
00:53:07,291 --> 00:53:08,791
Give me time to act,
577
00:53:08,958 --> 00:53:11,083
without believing any report or telegram,
578
00:53:11,250 --> 00:53:13,541
or rumour.
I need time.
579
00:53:13,958 --> 00:53:15,750
Don't sign any agreement with Giraud.
580
00:53:16,250 --> 00:53:19,750
If you approve my plan,
put a phrase out on the BBC.
581
00:53:19,916 --> 00:53:24,000
"The jack of diamonds is on the table."
- I can't lose you.
582
00:53:24,916 --> 00:53:26,291
And if not,
583
00:53:26,875 --> 00:53:29,375
put out:
"The ace of spades is in my hand."
584
00:53:45,958 --> 00:53:46,958
Fire!
585
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:48,000
Fire!
586
00:53:53,750 --> 00:53:55,125
They're pouring in everywhere!
587
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:26,458
My General!
588
00:54:37,500 --> 00:54:39,458
Leclerc hasn't fallen back.
589
00:54:39,708 --> 00:54:42,500
He only evacuated his wounded.
590
00:54:42,875 --> 00:54:44,291
He is done for, General.
591
00:54:45,250 --> 00:54:48,541
"In a few hours,
We shall bring you victory."
592
00:54:50,458 --> 00:54:52,541
They don't make ones like him anymore.
593
00:54:56,041 --> 00:54:58,750
Have our planes have finished
the East road mission?
594
00:54:58,916 --> 00:55:00,333
Not yet, sir.
595
00:55:03,750 --> 00:55:04,833
No, sir!
596
00:55:23,291 --> 00:55:24,750
It's dead, my General.
597
00:55:36,666 --> 00:55:37,791
With me!
598
00:55:41,333 --> 00:55:42,500
For honour.
599
00:55:42,958 --> 00:55:44,041
To the end.
600
00:55:44,833 --> 00:55:46,666
He's crazy!
- Come on!
601
00:56:08,083 --> 00:56:09,208
The English...
602
00:56:40,166 --> 00:56:42,375
They're coming!
- My General!
603
00:56:42,541 --> 00:56:44,000
We've won!
604
00:57:03,375 --> 00:57:05,291
Look, he's chasing them!
605
00:57:06,375 --> 00:57:08,208
Let's give him a hand!
606
00:57:53,875 --> 00:57:55,875
My General?
- Leave me alone, Passy.
607
00:58:06,666 --> 00:58:09,083
My General, Leclerc is alive!
608
00:58:14,250 --> 00:58:15,666
Bravo, my General.
609
00:58:15,833 --> 00:58:18,458
Leclerc stood up
to a Panzer division.
610
00:58:22,166 --> 00:58:23,291
With what tanks?
611
00:58:23,458 --> 00:58:26,250
No tanks, my General.
- Alone with his men.
612
00:58:26,416 --> 00:58:29,166
Three submachine guns and a few rifles.
- Incredible.
613
00:58:29,333 --> 00:58:31,625
Churchill congratulates you.
614
00:58:35,125 --> 00:58:37,458
Long live Free France!
- Long live Free France!
615
00:58:37,625 --> 00:58:40,208
Long live Free France!
- Long live Free France!
616
00:58:44,541 --> 00:58:46,041
To Free France!
617
00:59:25,208 --> 00:59:27,000
Leclerc! Leclerc!
618
00:59:27,166 --> 00:59:31,708
Leclerc! Leclerc!
Leclerc! Leclerc! Leclerc!
619
00:59:31,875 --> 00:59:33,166
Leclerc!
620
00:59:33,333 --> 00:59:35,708
Leclerc! Leclerc!
- De Gaulle!
621
00:59:35,875 --> 00:59:38,916
Leclerc! Leclerc! Leclerc! Leclerc!
622
00:59:39,083 --> 00:59:41,166
Long live de Gaulle!
623
00:59:41,333 --> 00:59:43,083
Leclerc!
- Long live de Gaulle!
624
00:59:43,250 --> 00:59:45,166
Long live de Gaulle!
- Leclerc! Leclerc!
625
00:59:45,333 --> 00:59:48,958
De Gaulle! De Gaulle!
De Gaulle! De Gaulle!
626
01:00:20,750 --> 01:00:22,166
For the BBC.
627
01:00:23,250 --> 01:00:24,791
Personal message.
628
01:00:31,541 --> 01:00:34,916
Praise is pouring in
from every Allied capital.
629
01:00:35,083 --> 01:00:38,166
A New York Times reporter, who got
an interview with General Leclerc
630
01:00:38,333 --> 01:00:40,791
on the battlefield, quotes him:
631
01:00:41,583 --> 01:00:45,166
"We are undefeated,
we Free French.
632
01:00:45,333 --> 01:00:47,583
"The Krauts never beat us.
633
01:00:47,916 --> 01:00:51,333
"We don't fall back.
We don't submit.
634
01:00:51,791 --> 01:00:55,000
"Our children will have nothing
to reproach us for when we come home."
635
01:00:55,625 --> 01:00:58,666
Please listen now
to a few personal messages.
636
01:01:00,375 --> 01:01:02,750
"The jack of diamonds is on the table."
637
01:01:03,666 --> 01:01:04,666
I repeat.
638
01:01:05,083 --> 01:01:07,541
"The jack of diamonds is on the table."
639
01:01:07,958 --> 01:01:09,833
"The sun rises every day."
640
01:01:10,458 --> 01:01:11,708
I say it twice:
641
01:01:12,125 --> 01:01:14,208
"The sun rises every day."
642
01:01:15,666 --> 01:01:17,416
End of personal messages.
643
01:01:30,833 --> 01:01:32,500
In La Fontaine's mailbox.
644
01:01:33,750 --> 01:01:36,583
The Resistance men must not have
made things easy for you.
645
01:01:37,208 --> 01:01:38,500
They want more money.
646
01:01:39,250 --> 01:01:40,625
For weapons, for everything.
647
01:01:41,125 --> 01:01:42,333
And they're right.
648
01:01:43,333 --> 01:01:45,291
The General does all he can.
649
01:01:53,250 --> 01:01:54,458
I missed one.
650
01:01:57,833 --> 01:01:59,750
Something under a table.
651
01:02:01,583 --> 01:02:02,875
"On" the table?
652
01:02:04,333 --> 01:02:05,666
The jack of diamonds?
653
01:02:08,041 --> 01:02:09,208
Livia?
654
01:02:10,125 --> 01:02:11,916
I don't know, boss.
655
01:02:26,583 --> 01:02:27,583
Let's go!
656
01:02:32,291 --> 01:02:34,666
We're going to bring
in the parliamentarians.
657
01:02:35,041 --> 01:02:36,625
You're either crazy or a fool.
658
01:02:36,791 --> 01:02:38,666
We had an agreement, Rex.
659
01:02:38,833 --> 01:02:41,416
You're destroying the Resistance
because you don't control it.
660
01:02:41,708 --> 01:02:43,666
Not only will we never accept,
661
01:02:43,833 --> 01:02:46,333
but we'll tell de Gaulle
it's us or you.
662
01:02:46,500 --> 01:02:48,375
That's the last straw!
- We need them.
663
01:02:48,958 --> 01:02:49,958
Of course.
664
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,791
The General needs that legitimacy.
665
01:02:52,583 --> 01:02:54,583
And do you have them, the parliamentarians?
666
01:02:55,458 --> 01:02:56,458
Working on it.
667
01:02:56,541 --> 01:02:57,583
Oh, yes?
668
01:02:57,750 --> 01:02:58,958
Which ones?
669
01:02:59,125 --> 01:03:00,791
With everyone who refuses Vichy.
670
01:03:00,958 --> 01:03:02,333
Even the Communists?
671
01:03:03,500 --> 01:03:05,500
Working on it.
- Ah...
672
01:03:10,208 --> 01:03:11,291
Good luck.
673
01:03:12,333 --> 01:03:14,250
Mr. Deputy...
- You're asking for my endorsement
674
01:03:14,416 --> 01:03:17,083
while telling me
my party doesn't count.
675
01:03:17,500 --> 01:03:20,750
I'm not asking for your endorsement,
I'm asking for your support.
676
01:03:41,666 --> 01:03:44,333
I'll be with you.
I trust you.
677
01:03:47,250 --> 01:03:49,666
The urgent thing is
to get set up in Algiers.
678
01:03:50,458 --> 01:03:53,750
Catroux got the concessions
so we can sign.
679
01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:58,583
Your plane is waiting.
680
01:04:00,083 --> 01:04:03,000
You'll be on French soil tonight.
681
01:04:05,958 --> 01:04:07,250
Page 3.
682
01:04:07,875 --> 01:04:09,250
My General?
683
01:04:09,416 --> 01:04:11,541
We'll get nothing more out of Gir...
684
01:04:13,208 --> 01:04:14,375
Page 3?
685
01:04:15,041 --> 01:04:16,291
Patience.
686
01:04:22,208 --> 01:04:23,458
Patience, Blaise.
687
01:04:25,041 --> 01:04:27,666
I won't give up the chairmanship
688
01:04:27,833 --> 01:04:30,333
and I won't grant
Peyrouton's resignation.
689
01:04:31,416 --> 01:04:33,083
The rest we can discuss.
690
01:04:35,625 --> 01:04:37,541
New proposal from General Giraud.
691
01:04:55,208 --> 01:04:56,291
Understood.
692
01:05:07,708 --> 01:05:09,000
Peyrouton.
693
01:05:09,500 --> 01:05:11,291
Uh, my General...
694
01:05:11,458 --> 01:05:14,625
Pétain's police minister,
the man for the dirty work.
695
01:05:14,791 --> 01:05:16,458
Once we're there...
- Peyrouton.
696
01:05:17,083 --> 01:05:19,250
Yes, yes, it suits him fine, but...
697
01:05:19,750 --> 01:05:22,625
we have to rework
the makeup of the committee.
698
01:05:23,375 --> 01:05:24,416
And the preambles.
699
01:05:24,583 --> 01:05:28,041
I can't take being squeezed
between a jackass and a lunatic any longer.
700
01:05:29,458 --> 01:05:33,250
I'll make one last try.
After that, I'm telling you, I resign.
701
01:05:49,416 --> 01:05:50,458
Trust,
702
01:05:50,625 --> 01:05:54,125
that makes no sense.
- We're playing with our country's future.
703
01:05:54,291 --> 01:05:56,416
What you're asking is impossible.
704
01:05:57,208 --> 01:05:58,184
I see no
705
01:05:58,208 --> 01:05:59,625
positive outcome.
706
01:06:02,041 --> 01:06:03,458
We'll meet again, Mr. Deputy.
707
01:06:05,083 --> 01:06:08,375
I doubt my Communist Party
will go for it.
708
01:06:32,375 --> 01:06:33,583
I'll manage it.
709
01:06:39,833 --> 01:06:42,875
I'll organise the creation
of the Resistance Council in Paris.
710
01:06:43,041 --> 01:06:45,833
Simpler for the parliamentarians.
- You like risk.
711
01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,500
You set our meeting
next to Militia headquarters.
712
01:07:04,458 --> 01:07:05,625
G...
713
01:07:24,458 --> 01:07:26,750
"Network blown."
714
01:07:34,208 --> 01:07:35,750
Watch out!
715
01:07:44,625 --> 01:07:45,875
Wait three minutes!
716
01:08:12,791 --> 01:08:14,291
Quiet!
717
01:08:29,250 --> 01:08:32,583
Galibier and Suzette have been arrested.
I got word in time.
718
01:08:32,750 --> 01:08:34,916
You're burned.
- We have to move fast.
719
01:08:35,083 --> 01:08:36,583
Have the agents cancel
720
01:08:36,750 --> 01:08:38,916
their meetings.
Change the mail drops
721
01:08:39,083 --> 01:08:40,083
and the identity papers.
722
01:08:40,166 --> 01:08:42,125
Alert London
and tell Mercure to disappear.
723
01:08:42,291 --> 01:08:43,875
Meet in two hours.
724
01:08:44,041 --> 01:08:45,833
No change of plan,
we carry on.
725
01:08:46,416 --> 01:08:48,000
Livia, if you're caught,
726
01:08:48,166 --> 01:08:50,541
try to hold out 48 hours without talking.
727
01:08:51,125 --> 01:08:54,083
If I'm caught, you'll go to work
for Mr. Bidault.
728
01:08:57,166 --> 01:08:58,375
Happy birthday.
729
01:08:59,125 --> 01:09:00,125
Come!
730
01:09:02,166 --> 01:09:03,541
I have nothing more to add.
731
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:05,708
This agreement is take it or leave it.
732
01:09:25,500 --> 01:09:27,166
My respects, gentlemen.
733
01:09:27,958 --> 01:09:29,916
Florence Conrad.
734
01:09:30,083 --> 01:09:32,375
I've bought 19 brand-new ambulances.
735
01:09:33,791 --> 01:09:36,791
I recruited 14 Frenchwomen
in New York City,
736
01:09:37,333 --> 01:09:40,666
trained in first aid
and able to drive.
737
01:09:43,125 --> 01:09:45,083
We want to fight.
738
01:09:48,250 --> 01:09:49,375
Very well.
739
01:09:50,458 --> 01:09:52,208
Very well.
General, would you...
740
01:09:52,375 --> 01:09:53,916
We want Leclerc.
741
01:09:54,750 --> 01:09:57,625
Wait, do you know
their living conditions?
742
01:09:57,791 --> 01:10:00,541
No latrines,
hundreds of kilometres a day
743
01:10:00,708 --> 01:10:03,458
with dogs, chickens,
fennec foxes...
744
01:10:03,625 --> 01:10:05,875
We have a certain admiration
745
01:10:06,208 --> 01:10:08,208
for General Leclerc.
746
01:10:08,375 --> 01:10:12,666
Fine. I'll talk to him
when he takes a break between two raids.
747
01:10:13,083 --> 01:10:14,125
Ladies.
748
01:10:19,666 --> 01:10:22,250
The ambulances are here,
there are women with them.
749
01:10:22,625 --> 01:10:24,875
They want to stay.
- Deal with them.
750
01:10:25,041 --> 01:10:26,708
It's a joke, isn't it?
751
01:10:29,958 --> 01:10:30,958
General Giraud is here.
752
01:10:39,583 --> 01:10:40,583
My General.
753
01:10:45,000 --> 01:10:48,791
Last time, you were
young Captain de Hauteclocque.
754
01:10:49,208 --> 01:10:50,958
Since then you've made a name for yourself.
755
01:10:51,708 --> 01:10:53,791
You're the one who trained me in arms.
756
01:10:53,958 --> 01:10:56,541
That doesn't explain your successes.
- No.
757
01:10:56,708 --> 01:11:00,500
It's the lack of a telephone
and the distance from headquarters.
758
01:11:06,166 --> 01:11:08,291
First I came to thank you.
759
01:11:10,833 --> 01:11:13,416
When I was taken prisoner
in Germany,
760
01:11:13,583 --> 01:11:15,625
my wife and children
were in danger,
761
01:11:15,791 --> 01:11:18,500
with no help and no means
in occupied France.
762
01:11:18,916 --> 01:11:20,791
Until a family took them in.
763
01:11:21,333 --> 01:11:22,500
Yours.
764
01:11:23,625 --> 01:11:25,333
Your wife took them in.
765
01:11:28,291 --> 01:11:29,583
She's well.
766
01:11:30,625 --> 01:11:33,250
She heard about a certain Leclerc,
767
01:11:33,416 --> 01:11:34,875
without knowing who he was.
768
01:11:40,208 --> 01:11:41,291
Philippe,
769
01:11:42,166 --> 01:11:46,958
today, I'm in charge
of this immense battle for France.
770
01:11:47,625 --> 01:11:51,291
This war is bigger than our small selves,
our small convictions.
771
01:11:51,458 --> 01:11:54,791
I'll leave de Gaulle
a place in the front rank at my side.
772
01:11:54,958 --> 01:11:57,500
So let's stop the politics
and join our forces.
773
01:12:00,500 --> 01:12:02,958
Not as long as you're surrounded
by criminals.
774
01:12:03,125 --> 01:12:04,458
What's that?
775
01:12:05,833 --> 01:12:06,958
Peyrouton.
776
01:12:07,125 --> 01:12:09,285
He has the support of the supreme commander,
Roosevelt.
777
01:12:09,333 --> 01:12:12,416
You know what you can tell him?
- Philippe!
778
01:12:12,708 --> 01:12:16,166
Hitler's bootlickers will end up
in history's dustbin.
779
01:12:16,333 --> 01:12:17,916
Careful you don't join them there.
780
01:12:18,083 --> 01:12:21,291
Stop, or you'll answer for your words
before a court.
781
01:12:21,625 --> 01:12:23,208
French or American?
782
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:27,333
Pfff... Quoting Trotsky on top of it...
783
01:12:29,375 --> 01:12:31,833
No pasarán!
(Speaking in Spanish)
784
01:12:32,500 --> 01:12:34,166
Attention!
- No pasarán!
785
01:12:34,333 --> 01:12:35,583
Death to the bastards!
786
01:12:36,125 --> 01:12:38,166
What the hell is this?
- We're sending them back.
787
01:12:38,583 --> 01:12:39,916
They're anarchists.
788
01:12:41,708 --> 01:12:42,833
No.
789
01:12:43,416 --> 01:12:46,166
Dronne, you're going to handle them
just fine for me.
790
01:12:46,333 --> 01:12:47,458
And this?
791
01:12:50,500 --> 01:12:51,833
Leave it.
792
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:54,166
Ammunition is never too much.
793
01:12:54,333 --> 01:12:56,250
Attention!
- Viva!
794
01:12:56,416 --> 01:12:58,416
Knees up!
- Come on!
795
01:12:58,583 --> 01:12:59,958
All right, off we go.
796
01:13:06,708 --> 01:13:08,500
No, I'm not happy.
797
01:13:08,666 --> 01:13:09,666
Come!
798
01:13:12,708 --> 01:13:15,250
Not satisfactory.
Call me back in 20 minutes.
799
01:13:16,208 --> 01:13:20,083
General, my men and I won't
parade in Tunis with Giraud's army.
800
01:13:21,458 --> 01:13:25,208
You did more than your fair share for
this victory! I demand you take part!
801
01:13:25,375 --> 01:13:27,916
So can we march with your men?
802
01:13:30,333 --> 01:13:32,666
So you hate Giraud that much?
803
01:13:34,166 --> 01:13:36,291
I like him, unfortunately.
804
01:13:38,708 --> 01:13:40,208
It seems
805
01:13:41,125 --> 01:13:43,416
being French these days
806
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,000
is a complicated thing.
807
01:13:49,666 --> 01:13:50,666
No, Catroux.
808
01:13:55,750 --> 01:13:57,208
We'll have to talk again.
809
01:13:58,125 --> 01:13:59,708
Goodbye, Catroux.
810
01:14:02,083 --> 01:14:03,458
Ah!
- My General.
811
01:14:03,625 --> 01:14:05,666
Glad to see you in France, Monnet.
812
01:14:05,916 --> 01:14:07,708
Do you know Marcel Peyrouton?
813
01:14:08,458 --> 01:14:09,583
Delighted.
814
01:14:10,583 --> 01:14:12,125
To what do I owe the pleasure?
815
01:14:12,291 --> 01:14:15,166
Finding time dragging in Washington?
- My General,
816
01:14:15,333 --> 01:14:18,125
President Roosevelt himself sent me.
817
01:14:19,166 --> 01:14:22,500
To get our friend in London
out of the picture for good...
818
01:14:22,666 --> 01:14:24,625
Oh, Gaulle? But that's over.
819
01:14:24,791 --> 01:14:26,958
He got himself out of the picture.
820
01:14:27,125 --> 01:14:29,166
Apart from Catroux, who
stayed here to negotiate
821
01:14:29,333 --> 01:14:31,625
some phantom agreement with us,
822
01:14:31,791 --> 01:14:33,166
nobody supports him anymore.
823
01:14:33,875 --> 01:14:35,083
Except public opinion.
824
01:14:35,250 --> 01:14:36,416
Yes...
825
01:14:37,583 --> 01:14:39,083
Here, look.
826
01:14:39,250 --> 01:14:40,958
This.
827
01:14:43,083 --> 01:14:44,333
And this.
828
01:14:44,500 --> 01:14:45,500
Yes.
829
01:14:45,666 --> 01:14:47,833
For instance.
- We're not going to start again
830
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,250
letting opinion dictate our lives,
or launch ourselves again
831
01:14:51,416 --> 01:14:55,541
into the dithering
that hurt France so badly.
832
01:14:58,666 --> 01:15:01,750
If you want to keep Roosevelt's support,
833
01:15:01,916 --> 01:15:03,916
you'll have to spare him
this kind of thing.
834
01:15:04,083 --> 01:15:06,583
Mr. Monnet,
the American papers
835
01:15:06,750 --> 01:15:08,375
are run by the Jews.
836
01:15:08,541 --> 01:15:09,875
It's up to them to fix it.
837
01:15:10,875 --> 01:15:13,791
I'm a soldier,
I don't do politics.
838
01:15:16,750 --> 01:15:18,458
There's nothing that should worry you.
839
01:15:18,625 --> 01:15:21,958
Show that you embody
French values...
840
01:15:23,541 --> 01:15:24,958
and American ones.
841
01:15:34,416 --> 01:15:36,625
That's the speech
Giraud gave in Algiers.
842
01:15:36,791 --> 01:15:37,791
You should read it.
843
01:15:38,791 --> 01:15:42,458
A tribute to Pétain?
- No, but a big success.
844
01:15:43,875 --> 01:15:47,916
A democratic programme,
compatible with the Americans.
845
01:15:48,083 --> 01:15:49,833
Monnet did things well.
- Ah.
846
01:15:51,416 --> 01:15:53,458
And in his speech,
847
01:15:54,041 --> 01:15:58,500
does Giraud give French citizenship
back to the Jews of Algiers?
848
01:15:59,041 --> 01:16:00,541
No. But my General,
849
01:16:01,750 --> 01:16:05,500
he's entrenching himself
further in power in Algiers while...
850
01:16:06,500 --> 01:16:09,208
we wait for the English
to cut off our supplies.
851
01:16:11,833 --> 01:16:14,916
By the way, Churchill has
just left for Washington.
852
01:16:19,833 --> 01:16:22,208
And in case you're
confusing it with the fireplace,
853
01:16:22,375 --> 01:16:23,750
the other file contains a message
854
01:16:23,916 --> 01:16:26,250
from the three main resistance networks.
855
01:16:32,041 --> 01:16:34,208
They're asking for Rex to be removed.
856
01:16:45,333 --> 01:16:46,500
Patience.
857
01:17:02,083 --> 01:17:04,166
Gentlemen, de Gaulle
858
01:17:04,333 --> 01:17:05,625
is stringing us along.
859
01:17:05,791 --> 01:17:09,291
He was supposed to go to Algiers
to make peace with Giraud.
860
01:17:09,458 --> 01:17:12,291
And he's still stirring up
trouble in London.
861
01:17:12,458 --> 01:17:14,666
Refusing every possible deal.
862
01:17:16,125 --> 01:17:18,708
How much longer
can we tolerate this?
863
01:17:20,750 --> 01:17:23,291
Look, it's here.
Why not just break with de Gaulle?
864
01:17:23,708 --> 01:17:24,833
Let's vote!
865
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:25,892
Thank you.
866
01:17:25,916 --> 01:17:28,125
I know what it says,
867
01:17:28,791 --> 01:17:31,708
but I believe we need to think twice.
868
01:17:34,333 --> 01:17:36,833
Have you read Montgomery's report?
869
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:41,125
Leclerc refused to march
with Giraud's troops in Tunis.
870
01:17:41,583 --> 01:17:43,916
Break with de Gaulle,
it's losing Leclerc.
871
01:17:44,083 --> 01:17:45,291
That would be absurd!
872
01:17:45,458 --> 01:17:48,125
If we don't break up, we must
make sure he goes to Algiers.
873
01:17:48,291 --> 01:17:49,267
NOW!
874
01:17:49,291 --> 01:17:50,291
But how?
875
01:17:58,416 --> 01:17:59,458
Listen to me!
876
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,458
I have an idea.
877
01:18:08,791 --> 01:18:11,125
Read this first...
- My General,
878
01:18:11,291 --> 01:18:13,625
the BBC just announced
your departure for Algiers.
879
01:18:13,791 --> 01:18:14,958
What?
880
01:18:17,083 --> 01:18:19,833
Well played. If you don't go,
you'll look weak.
881
01:18:20,000 --> 01:18:23,541
If I go to Algiers,
it's to tell Giraud to his face
882
01:18:23,708 --> 01:18:26,208
that there will never be
any agreement between him and me.
883
01:18:26,375 --> 01:18:30,875
My General, first read
what General Catroux proposes.
884
01:18:31,583 --> 01:18:32,583
London calling.
885
01:18:33,541 --> 01:18:34,541
Inaudible speech.
886
01:18:34,625 --> 01:18:35,791
This is disastrous.
887
01:18:37,458 --> 01:18:39,291
It's all ruined, he's heading for the wall.
888
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:49,333
That's all I have.
889
01:18:56,666 --> 01:18:59,125
Code this
and send it right away.
890
01:18:59,916 --> 01:19:02,166
"National Council of the Resistance formed."
891
01:19:02,333 --> 01:19:04,041
But... it's not true!
892
01:19:07,041 --> 01:19:09,708
The Republic is worth a lie, Livia.
893
01:19:12,875 --> 01:19:15,458
"All networks and parties
demand rapid installation.
894
01:19:15,625 --> 01:19:19,166
"Provisional government in Algiers
under de Gaulle's presidency."
895
01:19:19,583 --> 01:19:22,333
Boss...
- Organise a meeting with everyone.
896
01:19:22,500 --> 01:19:24,041
Even the Communists?
897
01:19:24,541 --> 01:19:26,125
And if you don't succeed?
898
01:19:26,791 --> 01:19:29,250
You're making the General take
an immense risk.
899
01:19:29,416 --> 01:19:30,750
And the Resistance.
900
01:19:33,291 --> 01:19:35,333
Giraud still has the chairmanship.
901
01:19:35,500 --> 01:19:36,958
Peyrouton is still there.
902
01:19:37,625 --> 01:19:41,833
Don't tell me it was better a month ago!
903
01:20:05,166 --> 01:20:06,166
Perfect.
904
01:20:08,208 --> 01:20:10,875
I'll discuss the details in Algiers.
905
01:20:11,708 --> 01:20:12,750
Gentlemen.
906
01:20:15,333 --> 01:20:17,000
What's going on?
907
01:20:31,708 --> 01:20:32,875
Here we go.
908
01:20:38,850 --> 01:20:40,700
MAY 27, 1943
909
01:20:46,375 --> 01:20:47,541
Gentlemen,
910
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:51,666
here is a message
from General de Gaulle.
911
01:20:53,958 --> 01:20:56,791
"The dreadful upheaval
into which disaster,
912
01:20:56,958 --> 01:20:59,166
"treason, usurpation
913
01:20:59,333 --> 01:21:01,791
"have plunged our country
will not end
914
01:21:01,958 --> 01:21:05,625
"merely because the German forces
have been crushed.
915
01:21:06,750 --> 01:21:10,208
"The nation must emerge from its liberation
in independence.
916
01:21:12,625 --> 01:21:16,333
"It is up to you to uphold the rights
917
01:21:17,333 --> 01:21:19,333
"and interests of France."
918
01:21:22,750 --> 01:21:24,208
I propose the following motion.
919
01:21:25,541 --> 01:21:28,958
Repudiating Vichy's dictatorship,
its men,
920
01:21:29,125 --> 01:21:31,666
its symbols and its offshoots,
921
01:21:32,250 --> 01:21:34,958
a National Council of the Resistance
is created
922
01:21:35,125 --> 01:21:37,125
and made up of the members present here.
923
01:21:38,208 --> 01:21:42,083
It intends that a provisional government
be installed in Algiers
924
01:21:42,250 --> 01:21:45,750
and entrusted to General de Gaulle,
who was the soul of the Resistance
925
01:21:46,291 --> 01:21:47,958
in the darkest days
926
01:21:48,125 --> 01:21:52,708
and who never stopped preparing
the rebirth of republican liberties.
927
01:21:53,541 --> 01:21:56,083
Impossible.
We'll never accept.
928
01:21:56,250 --> 01:21:59,166
He has no legitimacy.
He wants power.
929
01:22:01,208 --> 01:22:02,208
Not a word
930
01:22:02,250 --> 01:22:04,708
about this Resistance Council,
my General.
931
01:22:04,875 --> 01:22:07,083
I have my doubts. I'm checking.
932
01:22:07,250 --> 01:22:09,791
If it's a fake,
it'll shorten his suffering.
933
01:22:10,291 --> 01:22:11,291
Indeed.
934
01:22:17,541 --> 01:22:18,517
Peyrouton.
935
01:22:18,541 --> 01:22:22,000
Are you going straight to meet
General Eisenhower?
936
01:22:22,166 --> 01:22:25,041
We'll meet at his HQ.
- I beg your pardon?
937
01:22:25,208 --> 01:22:28,625
Eisenhower comes to see me,
not the other way around.
938
01:22:29,500 --> 01:22:30,916
We're in France.
939
01:22:32,375 --> 01:22:34,083
We'll go by the War Memorial.
940
01:22:36,083 --> 01:22:37,059
The Communist Party
941
01:22:37,083 --> 01:22:40,083
doesn't endorse pipe dreams.
We know the Allies
942
01:22:40,250 --> 01:22:43,166
gave power to Giraud
and not to de Gaulle.
943
01:22:43,333 --> 01:22:46,541
It seems to me it's up to us
to express our will
944
01:22:46,708 --> 01:22:50,500
on the future French government.
- The will of the parliamentarians?
945
01:22:51,541 --> 01:22:53,916
Not long ago,
that meant handing France to Pétain.
946
01:22:54,083 --> 01:22:55,323
You reject the parliamentarians
947
01:22:55,416 --> 01:22:57,125
and the political parties?
948
01:22:57,458 --> 01:23:00,375
You want to make the Resistance
a single party.
949
01:23:00,541 --> 01:23:02,181
What mandate from the people
do you claim?
950
01:23:02,291 --> 01:23:04,833
The Resistance rose up
against these fascist practises.
951
01:23:05,291 --> 01:23:07,250
No, the fascists got here.
952
01:23:12,708 --> 01:23:14,083
Gentlemen!
953
01:23:14,250 --> 01:23:16,500
Every one of us is wanted by the Gestapo.
954
01:23:16,666 --> 01:23:18,500
We have very little time left.
955
01:24:01,625 --> 01:24:05,083
France's interest must come
before the parties' interest.
956
01:24:40,541 --> 01:24:43,041
"We are undefeated,
we Free French."
957
01:25:27,875 --> 01:25:28,809
We all know
958
01:25:28,833 --> 01:25:30,375
what that means.
959
01:25:31,458 --> 01:25:32,875
It's now or never.
960
01:25:34,250 --> 01:25:36,625
Who votes against the motion?
961
01:25:41,250 --> 01:25:42,250
Who's for?
962
01:25:55,041 --> 01:25:57,250
So it is decided. Thank you, gentlemen.
963
01:26:32,416 --> 01:26:35,125
"Let it be known to all
that we are undefeated,
964
01:26:35,458 --> 01:26:37,125
"we Free French."
965
01:26:48,125 --> 01:26:52,625
This Committee... Council of Resistance,
where does it stand?
966
01:26:53,416 --> 01:26:54,666
It's been created.
967
01:26:56,208 --> 01:26:57,250
Good...
968
01:27:03,458 --> 01:27:04,625
Oh!
969
01:27:05,041 --> 01:27:06,375
Here comes the diva.
970
01:27:21,375 --> 01:27:22,416
Fine.
971
01:27:23,541 --> 01:27:27,291
General, as future president,
it's up to you to open
972
01:27:27,458 --> 01:27:31,125
this meeting for the creation
of a provisional government:
973
01:27:31,291 --> 01:27:33,208
the French Committee
of National Liberation.
974
01:27:35,166 --> 01:27:37,291
Yes, yes. Well then...
975
01:27:37,833 --> 01:27:40,041
Does anyone have something to say?
- Yes.
976
01:27:40,208 --> 01:27:41,250
Me.
977
01:27:42,958 --> 01:27:43,958
The French people
978
01:27:44,500 --> 01:27:46,375
have expressed their will.
979
01:27:47,083 --> 01:27:48,666
The French people?
980
01:27:48,833 --> 01:27:50,875
The National Council of the Resistance
981
01:27:51,041 --> 01:27:52,721
brings together all the political parties,
982
01:27:52,833 --> 01:27:55,375
as well as all the resistance movements.
983
01:27:57,541 --> 01:27:59,500
Here is the motion that was adopted.
984
01:27:59,666 --> 01:28:02,250
Unanimously.
- Thank you, Pleven. I've read it.
985
01:28:11,791 --> 01:28:14,250
Their will, indeed, can't be ignored.
986
01:28:14,416 --> 01:28:15,416
Ah.
987
01:28:18,750 --> 01:28:19,750
In that case,
988
01:28:19,833 --> 01:28:22,291
I propose a de Gaulle-Giraud co-presidency,
989
01:28:23,708 --> 01:28:26,458
with General Giraud
remaining at the head of the armies.
990
01:28:26,625 --> 01:28:27,791
Vote by a show of hands.
991
01:28:38,166 --> 01:28:39,166
Fine.
992
01:28:39,625 --> 01:28:42,333
The Provisional
Government of France is born.
993
01:28:42,916 --> 01:28:45,458
I demand the retirement
of the governor of Algiers.
994
01:28:45,625 --> 01:28:49,458
You don't demand anything.
Peyrouton is an excellent governor.
995
01:28:49,625 --> 01:28:51,625
A collaborator from the very start?
996
01:28:51,791 --> 01:28:55,541
The cars are waiting.
We'll talk about it at the next meeting.
997
01:28:57,916 --> 01:28:59,083
"I demand..."
998
01:28:59,833 --> 01:29:00,958
"I demand..."
999
01:29:11,333 --> 01:29:13,333
"Father Victory"
(Louis Gaston)
1000
01:29:13,500 --> 01:29:15,125
So, he survived, huh?
1001
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:26,250
Take my glass!
1002
01:29:30,333 --> 01:29:32,083
Surprise!
1003
01:29:33,875 --> 01:29:35,208
Gentlemen,
1004
01:29:36,083 --> 01:29:38,166
don't take offence at my presence.
1005
01:29:39,291 --> 01:29:42,250
You know the love
1006
01:29:42,416 --> 01:29:46,041
I've borne for France since childhood.
1007
01:29:46,833 --> 01:29:49,416
She's going through hard times.
1008
01:29:50,208 --> 01:29:53,291
I've always stood by her
1009
01:29:54,000 --> 01:29:58,125
and I always will.
1010
01:29:59,416 --> 01:30:01,916
I'm sure General Giraud
1011
01:30:02,083 --> 01:30:04,125
and General de Gaulle
1012
01:30:05,375 --> 01:30:07,916
will know how to give her a destiny again.
1013
01:30:09,833 --> 01:30:11,875
It's a great day for me.
1014
01:30:13,375 --> 01:30:14,375
So,
1015
01:30:14,791 --> 01:30:17,083
I've come to inflict on you
1016
01:30:17,375 --> 01:30:19,166
my favourite song.
1017
01:30:24,333 --> 01:30:26,791
When I see our soldiers.
1018
01:30:27,708 --> 01:30:32,291
Marching joyful, music at their head.
1019
01:30:32,583 --> 01:30:36,125
Ah, I say, marking time:
1020
01:30:34,391 --> 01:30:38,183
"As of old, France is beautiful."
1021
01:30:41,291 --> 01:30:43,333
As in the old days.
1022
01:30:43,500 --> 01:30:45,458
Soldiers, I see again.
1023
01:30:45,625 --> 01:30:50,166
Carnot decreeing victory.
1024
01:30:50,333 --> 01:30:53,500
March to glory.
1025
01:30:53,666 --> 01:30:56,041
My dear children.
1026
01:30:56,208 --> 01:31:01,500
Come back triumphant!
1027
01:31:01,666 --> 01:31:03,791
Bravo! Bravo.
- Thank you.
1028
01:31:03,958 --> 01:31:05,541
To victorious France!
1029
01:31:06,166 --> 01:31:07,458
Vive la France!
1030
01:31:07,625 --> 01:31:08,958
Vive la France!
1031
01:31:29,375 --> 01:31:30,541
What a rascal!
1032
01:31:32,541 --> 01:31:35,916
Sometimes you need a rascal
to lead a country.
1033
01:31:47,208 --> 01:31:48,208
President...
1034
01:31:48,250 --> 01:31:49,875
This is unacceptable, Ike!
1035
01:31:50,041 --> 01:31:52,333
Deal with the De Gaulle problem.
1036
01:31:52,500 --> 01:31:53,541
Of course.
1037
01:31:53,791 --> 01:31:55,083
Allow me,
1038
01:31:55,583 --> 01:31:59,458
with all due respect, Mr. President,
we have a war to fight.
1039
01:31:59,625 --> 01:32:01,583
This is not a suggestion, General.
1040
01:32:01,750 --> 01:32:03,958
I will not accept this coup.
1041
01:32:04,125 --> 01:32:05,416
Handle it!
1042
01:32:11,375 --> 01:32:15,708
Set up a meeting with
Generals Giraud and de Gaulle...
1043
01:32:29,166 --> 01:32:30,166
Let go of me!
1044
01:32:30,333 --> 01:32:32,291
Speaking in German.
1045
01:32:32,458 --> 01:32:35,125
You're hurting me!
- Let go of me!
1046
01:32:53,791 --> 01:32:54,791
Move!
1047
01:34:05,250 --> 01:34:07,125
The address.
1048
01:34:08,541 --> 01:34:09,583
Which one?
1049
01:34:11,041 --> 01:34:12,041
Speak!
1050
01:34:41,500 --> 01:34:45,000
Let it be known that we are undefeated,
we Free French.
1051
01:35:15,916 --> 01:35:17,541
Undefeated.
1052
01:35:20,250 --> 01:35:21,833
Say that again, please.
1053
01:35:24,625 --> 01:35:26,166
Undefeated.
1054
01:35:31,083 --> 01:35:32,416
"Undefeated"?
1055
01:35:33,416 --> 01:35:34,583
What does that mean?
1056
01:36:30,958 --> 01:36:31,958
Ah.
1057
01:36:32,208 --> 01:36:33,500
Your interpreter.
1058
01:36:34,666 --> 01:36:35,875
For him.
1059
01:36:46,458 --> 01:36:47,583
Generals,
1060
01:36:47,750 --> 01:36:49,083
as you both know,
1061
01:36:49,250 --> 01:36:52,041
we're planning a
huge military operation.
1062
01:36:52,208 --> 01:36:54,541
It will require a clear
chain of command
1063
01:36:55,375 --> 01:36:57,833
and perfect understanding of duties.
1064
01:36:58,250 --> 01:36:59,291
Of course.
1065
01:36:59,458 --> 01:37:01,666
I thought it was clear.
1066
01:37:01,958 --> 01:37:05,000
General Giraud is the
military commander of the French,
1067
01:37:05,166 --> 01:37:06,708
he must lead the army.
1068
01:37:07,041 --> 01:37:08,083
Yes, yes.
1069
01:37:08,708 --> 01:37:10,583
And also in charge of political affairs
1070
01:37:10,750 --> 01:37:12,166
as co-president.
1071
01:37:12,333 --> 01:37:13,875
A point of information, sir.
1072
01:37:14,041 --> 01:37:16,958
As Allied commander-in-chief,
1073
01:37:17,125 --> 01:37:20,083
are you also in charge
American politics?
1074
01:37:21,125 --> 01:37:22,750
But I'm also guarantor
1075
01:37:22,916 --> 01:37:26,000
of the provisional government
Roosevelt helped instal.
1076
01:37:26,166 --> 01:37:28,500
Where's the problem?
- I read your speech.
1077
01:37:28,666 --> 01:37:31,458
I thought you were a republican.
1078
01:37:31,625 --> 01:37:35,541
The separation of civil
and military powers is basic.
1079
01:37:35,708 --> 01:37:39,125
You command an army of mercenaries,
foreigners and Communists,
1080
01:37:39,291 --> 01:37:41,083
generals promoted by a deserter.
1081
01:37:41,250 --> 01:37:43,541
I never deserted.
- Neither did I.
1082
01:37:43,708 --> 01:37:45,625
Your 15,000 mercenaries
1083
01:37:45,791 --> 01:37:47,958
and your fascist methods,
we can do without.
1084
01:37:48,125 --> 01:37:49,625
And now I'm called a fascist
1085
01:37:49,791 --> 01:37:53,125
when all I'm asking is respect of
the basic rules of any republic.
1086
01:37:53,291 --> 01:37:55,791
You create problems where there are none.
1087
01:37:56,625 --> 01:37:58,708
I cannot deal with this madman.
1088
01:38:03,208 --> 01:38:06,291
Let me be very clear,
General de Gaulle,
1089
01:38:06,916 --> 01:38:10,250
we're not going to change anything
to the current organisation.
1090
01:38:10,416 --> 01:38:12,500
My contact is Giraud,
1091
01:38:12,666 --> 01:38:13,833
him alone,
1092
01:38:14,208 --> 01:38:16,458
and on all matters. Period.
1093
01:38:18,875 --> 01:38:20,208
Thank you, General.
1094
01:38:25,250 --> 01:38:26,625
As any great leader
1095
01:38:27,541 --> 01:38:29,416
in wartime must do
1096
01:38:30,083 --> 01:38:33,541
you follow your president's instructions.
1097
01:38:34,083 --> 01:38:36,375
I understand and respect it.
1098
01:38:36,750 --> 01:38:39,125
I wish you victory
1099
01:38:39,291 --> 01:38:42,041
in the difficult operations to come.
1100
01:38:43,791 --> 01:38:44,791
General.
1101
01:39:07,375 --> 01:39:08,875
Gentlemen...
1102
01:39:15,833 --> 01:39:19,583
Fine.
- Gentlemen, it's time to settle
1103
01:39:19,750 --> 01:39:22,500
the separation of powers problem.
1104
01:39:23,291 --> 01:39:25,916
Didn't you hear General Eisenhower?
1105
01:39:26,083 --> 01:39:28,250
I'm glad you mention it.
1106
01:39:28,416 --> 01:39:31,916
Could you say
what just happened?
1107
01:39:33,250 --> 01:39:35,708
General Eisenhower called us in
1108
01:39:35,875 --> 01:39:40,458
and he decided I'd keep
civil and military powers,
1109
01:39:40,625 --> 01:39:42,583
which Gaulle wanted to dispute.
1110
01:39:44,166 --> 01:39:46,291
You just said it,
we're dealing with
1111
01:39:46,458 --> 01:39:49,458
a blatant case of foreign interference
1112
01:39:49,625 --> 01:39:52,125
against French sovereignty.
1113
01:39:53,208 --> 01:39:56,791
I propose we study, right now,
the proper way
1114
01:39:56,958 --> 01:39:59,500
to reaffirm our sovereignty.
1115
01:39:59,666 --> 01:40:02,416
And would we be here
without the Allies?
1116
01:40:02,583 --> 01:40:04,083
I propose an immediate vote.
1117
01:40:04,250 --> 01:40:05,375
Cut the act.
1118
01:40:05,541 --> 01:40:09,708
Does what happened constitute
interference by the American army
1119
01:40:09,875 --> 01:40:12,666
against the French provisional government?
1120
01:40:14,583 --> 01:40:15,958
No, that...
1121
01:40:25,958 --> 01:40:27,458
Fine, now let's vote on...
1122
01:40:29,166 --> 01:40:30,166
the question
1123
01:40:30,958 --> 01:40:32,166
at hand.
1124
01:40:33,375 --> 01:40:37,625
In the French Republic
we're rebuilding right here,
1125
01:40:37,791 --> 01:40:42,250
can one person hold
both civil and military power?
1126
01:40:56,625 --> 01:41:00,083
In that case, my General,
I see no other solution
1127
01:41:00,250 --> 01:41:01,930
than your resignation from this committee.
1128
01:41:26,541 --> 01:41:30,125
Monnet, notify the three decisions
just taken
1129
01:41:30,291 --> 01:41:31,708
by France.
1130
01:41:31,875 --> 01:41:34,208
Draught the necessary decrees right now.
1131
01:41:38,166 --> 01:41:39,250
Fine.
1132
01:41:45,833 --> 01:41:46,833
My General.
1133
01:41:48,666 --> 01:41:49,833
Rex...
1134
01:41:52,291 --> 01:41:53,541
Where?
1135
01:41:54,208 --> 01:41:55,583
At Gestapo headquarters.
1136
01:41:56,875 --> 01:41:58,000
There's nothing to be done.
1137
01:42:32,541 --> 01:42:33,875
Carry on.
1138
01:43:18,083 --> 01:43:19,083
Livia!
1139
01:43:20,958 --> 01:43:22,541
We got your message in time.
1140
01:43:24,333 --> 01:43:25,458
Thank you.
1141
01:43:30,541 --> 01:43:31,791
We don't know who betrayed us.
1142
01:43:32,500 --> 01:43:34,208
But you were on the list.
1143
01:43:34,375 --> 01:43:36,875
You have to disappear to another city.
1144
01:43:37,166 --> 01:43:38,208
Will you be all right?
1145
01:43:48,333 --> 01:43:49,583
"My friend,
1146
01:43:49,750 --> 01:43:51,000
"The end is near.
1147
01:43:51,166 --> 01:43:52,750
"Here comes the reward.
1148
01:43:52,916 --> 01:43:55,500
"Soon, together, we can weep for joy.
1149
01:43:55,666 --> 01:43:56,916
"Charles de Gaulle."
1150
01:44:03,500 --> 01:44:04,833
We won't see each other again.
1151
01:44:08,208 --> 01:44:09,375
Good luck.
1152
01:45:57,333 --> 01:45:58,333
Good!
1153
01:46:12,458 --> 01:46:15,208
Should we push this or not?
- You need to talk to him.
1154
01:46:15,375 --> 01:46:16,750
I'll take care of it.
1155
01:46:17,416 --> 01:46:18,750
Do it before noon.
1156
01:46:19,916 --> 01:46:21,458
Oh, McSherry!
1157
01:46:22,666 --> 01:46:24,500
I believe you
have something to show us.
1158
01:46:24,666 --> 01:46:25,750
Yes, Mr. President.
1159
01:46:37,875 --> 01:46:41,500
No. No "République Française".
Just the flag.
1160
01:46:44,958 --> 01:46:47,166
Let's put "France", instead.
1161
01:46:47,333 --> 01:46:48,333
No.
1162
01:46:48,375 --> 01:46:49,666
Not a country,
1163
01:46:50,000 --> 01:46:51,000
no longer.
1164
01:46:51,166 --> 01:46:52,500
Just the flag.
1165
01:46:53,958 --> 01:46:55,083
Mr. President...
1166
01:46:59,541 --> 01:47:02,250
Our men will be ready to take
over throughout France.
1167
01:47:02,416 --> 01:47:04,958
Each of them is
being briefed on his district.
1168
01:47:05,625 --> 01:47:06,625
Perfect.
1169
01:47:06,958 --> 01:47:09,708
Eisenhower says he needs
de Gaulle's partisans to help
1170
01:47:09,875 --> 01:47:11,583
specially between D1 and D25.
1171
01:47:11,750 --> 01:47:13,291
Let him say what he likes!
1172
01:47:13,458 --> 01:47:17,583
We won't have de Gaulle anywhere
near the theatre of action. Ever.
1173
01:47:18,833 --> 01:47:20,041
Next?
1174
01:47:31,458 --> 01:47:33,125
"New Wallonia?"
1175
01:47:33,291 --> 01:47:34,416
This can't be true.
1176
01:47:34,583 --> 01:47:35,666
And yet...
1177
01:47:40,583 --> 01:47:43,541
Perhaps we need to
talk to Roosevelt.
1178
01:47:47,583 --> 01:47:49,416
No... Anthony.
1179
01:47:51,916 --> 01:47:53,875
We must win this war.
1180
01:47:56,166 --> 01:47:58,916
We will pop that boil
when we have to.
1181
01:48:08,958 --> 01:48:11,208
At the very least we
should let de Gaulle know.
1182
01:48:12,541 --> 01:48:15,333
Discreetly,
through his intelligence services.
1183
01:49:38,500 --> 01:49:39,708
My General,
1184
01:49:40,541 --> 01:49:43,625
I ask you to create as fast as possible
1185
01:49:44,250 --> 01:49:45,666
an armoured division
1186
01:49:45,833 --> 01:49:48,458
that will group the Free French Forces
1187
01:49:48,625 --> 01:49:49,625
at your disposal
1188
01:49:50,000 --> 01:49:53,958
and the men of the Armée d'Afrique.
1189
01:49:54,125 --> 01:49:56,625
You'll take command of it.
1190
01:49:56,791 --> 01:49:58,458
In the direction of my arm.
1191
01:50:56,916 --> 01:50:59,375
Roosevelt intends to occupy France,
1192
01:50:59,541 --> 01:51:01,458
cut a third off it,
1193
01:51:01,791 --> 01:51:04,458
and turn what's left
into a condominium.
1194
01:51:05,083 --> 01:51:07,666
Maybe even keeping Pétain.
1195
01:51:10,166 --> 01:51:11,291
My General?
- Leclerc,
1196
01:51:12,250 --> 01:51:13,916
I know what I'm saying.
1197
01:51:14,083 --> 01:51:17,083
If we don't impose ourselves,
there'll be no France.
1198
01:51:21,666 --> 01:51:23,875
One single battle will decide everything.
1199
01:51:25,083 --> 01:51:26,500
And I'm entrusting it to you.
1200
01:51:28,208 --> 01:51:31,416
These instructions override all orders,
wherever they come from.
1201
01:51:31,583 --> 01:51:32,750
Past or future,
1202
01:51:32,916 --> 01:51:35,500
they're secret and irrevocable.
1203
01:51:36,875 --> 01:51:37,875
Philippe...
1204
01:51:42,750 --> 01:51:44,833
Stop taking absurd risks!
1205
01:51:45,000 --> 01:51:47,541
If you fall before succeeding...
1206
01:51:53,458 --> 01:51:55,041
I have no other option.
1207
01:52:15,791 --> 01:52:20,208
I entrust you with the supreme battle
that will decide everything:
1208
01:52:22,333 --> 01:52:23,625
Paris.
1209
01:52:24,291 --> 01:52:27,416
My hands in yours.
Charles de Gaulle.
1210
01:52:40,375 --> 01:52:41,375
So then,
1211
01:52:43,041 --> 01:52:45,083
after three years
1212
01:52:46,041 --> 01:52:47,500
of unspeakable trials,
1213
01:52:47,666 --> 01:52:49,291
the French people
1214
01:52:49,833 --> 01:52:51,041
reappears.
1215
01:52:51,750 --> 01:52:54,708
It has a Resistance Council
1216
01:52:55,625 --> 01:52:57,083
that brings together all those
1217
01:52:57,458 --> 01:53:01,541
who fight the invader
in the underground.
1218
01:53:02,791 --> 01:53:05,541
It has a provisional government.
1219
01:53:11,041 --> 01:53:13,083
It needs a great army.
1220
01:53:15,125 --> 01:53:17,166
It's in the desert
1221
01:53:17,333 --> 01:53:20,625
that the force that failed us
1222
01:53:20,791 --> 01:53:25,916
in 1940 is rising again,
at this very moment.
1223
01:53:27,458 --> 01:53:32,041
Fast, modern,
built entirely for attack.
1224
01:53:32,666 --> 01:53:36,458
The force that will gather all the French
1225
01:53:36,625 --> 01:53:38,750
since it's born of their union.
1226
01:53:38,916 --> 01:53:39,916
Bravo!
1227
01:53:40,041 --> 01:53:40,976
You're assigned
1228
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:43,500
to the 2nd Armored Division
under my command.
1229
01:53:45,875 --> 01:53:48,583
It's the first great force
in which.
1230
01:53:48,750 --> 01:53:52,791
Frenchmen who had been apart
for three years are brought together.
1231
01:53:54,708 --> 01:53:56,208
And even enemies.
1232
01:53:57,708 --> 01:53:59,458
I ask you to think
1233
01:54:00,041 --> 01:54:02,125
about the importance of this reunion.
1234
01:54:03,166 --> 01:54:04,833
In the world,
1235
01:54:05,000 --> 01:54:09,166
some supposedly realistic minds
1236
01:54:09,333 --> 01:54:12,333
have been able to believe
that for the French,
1237
01:54:12,500 --> 01:54:15,333
and for the French only,
1238
01:54:15,500 --> 01:54:18,916
the war effort could exist
1239
01:54:19,083 --> 01:54:21,041
outside morality.
1240
01:54:21,458 --> 01:54:24,333
Our country is in a situation
1241
01:54:24,500 --> 01:54:25,541
it has never known.
1242
01:54:26,958 --> 01:54:27,958
It has become
1243
01:54:28,791 --> 01:54:31,166
a second-rate nation.
1244
01:54:32,541 --> 01:54:34,208
Our elites failed.
1245
01:54:35,291 --> 01:54:39,208
Tomorrow, when you see some bigwig,
you can ask yourself
1246
01:54:39,375 --> 01:54:42,083
whether he was incompetent before '40
1247
01:54:42,250 --> 01:54:43,708
or a coward since.
1248
01:54:45,375 --> 01:54:49,375
But we can't afford
the luxury of internal divisions.
1249
01:54:49,541 --> 01:54:50,916
The theorists have been able
1250
01:54:51,291 --> 01:54:52,625
to imagine
1251
01:54:54,291 --> 01:54:57,541
that our soldiers, our sailors,
our airmen
1252
01:54:57,708 --> 01:55:01,541
different in that from every soldier,
every sailor,
1253
01:55:01,708 --> 01:55:03,500
every airman in the world,
1254
01:55:03,666 --> 01:55:06,666
would go into battle
without caring about the reasons
1255
01:55:06,833 --> 01:55:09,375
for which they'd face death.
1256
01:55:09,750 --> 01:55:11,333
From the moment
1257
01:55:11,500 --> 01:55:13,916
you set foot on French soil
1258
01:55:14,500 --> 01:55:15,820
you'll be thrown into the battle,
1259
01:55:17,166 --> 01:55:18,375
without transition.
1260
01:55:18,541 --> 01:55:19,541
France
1261
01:55:21,166 --> 01:55:24,750
is a tortured captive
1262
01:55:26,458 --> 01:55:28,125
who, under the blows,
1263
01:55:28,791 --> 01:55:30,500
in her dungeon,
1264
01:55:30,875 --> 01:55:33,833
has measured once and for all
1265
01:55:34,125 --> 01:55:36,166
the causes of her misfortunes
1266
01:55:36,541 --> 01:55:38,250
and the infamy of her tyrants.
1267
01:55:38,791 --> 01:55:42,625
No time to get familiar
with the ground and the enemy.
1268
01:55:43,875 --> 01:55:46,208
You'll have to make
1269
01:55:46,708 --> 01:55:48,333
fast decisions.
- Without claiming
1270
01:55:48,500 --> 01:55:50,708
the gift of prophecy,
1271
01:55:50,875 --> 01:55:52,791
we need only hear
1272
01:55:52,958 --> 01:55:54,583
our hearts beat,
1273
01:55:55,625 --> 01:55:57,375
to say this:
1274
01:55:57,666 --> 01:55:58,666
In life,
1275
01:56:00,041 --> 01:56:03,416
you only succeed
if you're obsessed with an idea.
1276
01:56:15,791 --> 01:56:19,041
We repoint the inventory
and we load the crates.
1277
01:56:23,708 --> 01:56:27,000
I thought Negroes were not
allowed in armoured divisions.
1278
01:56:27,750 --> 01:56:29,166
Do you have a problem?
1279
01:56:30,416 --> 01:56:32,791
Captain, Captain...
1280
01:56:32,958 --> 01:56:34,291
Come on! Leave it.
1281
01:56:42,041 --> 01:56:44,916
Because of them, we lost
our 4,000 Senegalese riflemen.
1282
01:56:45,083 --> 01:56:46,625
Three quarters of the division.
1283
01:56:47,541 --> 01:56:50,458
Think of the men
instead of the division!
1284
01:56:50,875 --> 01:56:52,583
They fought like lions
1285
01:56:52,750 --> 01:56:54,416
and were sent home like losers.
1286
01:56:54,583 --> 01:56:57,583
The Americans have rules for everything.
1287
01:56:57,750 --> 01:57:00,208
One day they'll lecture the whole world.
1288
01:57:03,625 --> 01:57:05,541
They're impressive all the same.
1289
01:57:06,250 --> 01:57:07,250
That way.
1290
01:57:18,166 --> 01:57:19,166
My Captain!
1291
01:57:19,500 --> 01:57:22,000
Ariane?
- We're completely lost.
1292
01:57:22,666 --> 01:57:23,916
So are we.
1293
01:57:25,041 --> 01:57:26,291
On the rise.
1294
01:57:30,833 --> 01:57:33,166
We have no idea
what we're supposed to do.
1295
01:57:33,875 --> 01:57:36,333
Or when.
- Or where we're supposed to do it.
1296
01:57:36,791 --> 01:57:38,500
We don't even know where Leclerc is.
1297
01:57:47,416 --> 01:57:49,333
How long did it take them to build this?
1298
01:57:50,875 --> 01:57:52,875
We won't find him anytime soon.
1299
01:57:56,458 --> 01:57:58,750
Look, their General.
1300
01:58:11,916 --> 01:58:14,625
Sir, PM Churchill on the line.
1301
01:58:18,125 --> 01:58:20,958
Between you and me,
do we need De Gaulle?
1302
01:58:21,958 --> 01:58:25,500
How many casualties are
we willing to countenance?
1303
01:58:26,083 --> 01:58:28,083
At the end of the day.
1304
01:58:28,500 --> 01:58:29,500
Be specific.
1305
01:58:29,666 --> 01:58:31,500
The more Resistance De Gaulle deploys,
1306
01:58:31,666 --> 01:58:32,958
the fewer men we will lose.
1307
01:58:33,125 --> 01:58:34,958
Every act of sabotage,
1308
01:58:35,125 --> 01:58:37,708
every time the
Secret Army shuts down
1309
01:58:37,875 --> 01:58:40,916
German communications or disrupts
its supply line we get a break.
1310
01:58:41,083 --> 01:58:43,750
And we need every break we can get.
I mean it.
1311
01:58:44,708 --> 01:58:48,333
De Gaulle's people
could make all the difference.
1312
01:58:48,500 --> 01:58:50,541
And personally I trust the man.
1313
01:58:51,625 --> 01:58:54,208
Did you tell Roosevelt?
- More than once.
1314
01:58:54,375 --> 01:58:57,291
I don't even have permission
to talk to de Gaulle.
1315
01:58:57,458 --> 01:59:00,375
How do we tell the English
people their sons or
1316
01:59:00,541 --> 01:59:03,208
fathers died because
we wouldn't talk to de Gaulle?
1317
01:59:03,375 --> 01:59:04,708
I know, Anthony!
1318
01:59:07,416 --> 01:59:10,291
Can we at least keep
his armoured division intact?
1319
01:59:11,291 --> 01:59:13,666
The Leclerc division
is not up to standard, sir.
1320
01:59:13,833 --> 01:59:16,333
It is 253 vehicles short.
1321
01:59:16,958 --> 01:59:18,541
Yes, I read the file.
1322
01:59:19,750 --> 01:59:20,791
But...
1323
01:59:22,125 --> 01:59:23,666
could you help?
1324
01:59:25,666 --> 01:59:27,583
Is your line secure?
1325
01:59:27,750 --> 01:59:28,750
Yes.
1326
01:59:30,750 --> 01:59:31,875
Well...
1327
01:59:33,041 --> 01:59:36,083
perhaps I could find
other vehicles.
1328
01:59:36,250 --> 01:59:38,375
Ask my staff
to look the other way.
1329
01:59:38,875 --> 01:59:41,041
If you think that would help.
- I do.
1330
01:59:41,208 --> 01:59:42,291
Very well.
1331
01:59:46,875 --> 01:59:49,000
If we want our children to believe
1332
01:59:49,166 --> 01:59:52,166
we acted like grown ups on the
eve of History's greatest landing,
1333
01:59:52,333 --> 01:59:54,875
we must invite De Gaulle here now.
1334
01:59:56,375 --> 01:59:59,958
We cannot launch the French
landing behind his back!
1335
02:00:00,125 --> 02:00:01,458
What are those?
1336
02:00:01,958 --> 02:00:05,375
Eisenhower's message
if successful, and that...
1337
02:00:05,833 --> 02:00:07,208
it is for the opposite.
1338
02:00:09,500 --> 02:00:10,875
Where is the weather man?
1339
02:00:11,166 --> 02:00:12,142
Sorry.
1340
02:00:12,166 --> 02:00:15,916
Even we are to glimpse hell we
better not behave ourselves.
1341
02:00:16,083 --> 02:00:19,625
That fool promised a break in the storm.
I want to hear him say it again.
1342
02:00:19,791 --> 02:00:20,791
Winston!
1343
02:00:22,041 --> 02:00:23,125
De Gaulle!
1344
02:00:31,791 --> 02:00:35,333
The prefect is the head of the police,
the gendarmerie,
1345
02:00:35,500 --> 02:00:37,208
the firemen and the school.
1346
02:00:37,750 --> 02:00:40,458
The prefect is the head of the police,
1347
02:00:40,625 --> 02:00:43,791
the gendarmerie,
the firemen and the school.
1348
02:00:43,958 --> 02:00:45,458
Very good, guys.
1349
02:00:45,875 --> 02:00:49,041
This is Mr. McSherry,
our managing director.
1350
02:00:49,208 --> 02:00:51,333
Now, please, introduce yourselves.
1351
02:00:51,500 --> 02:00:52,625
Who goes first?
1352
02:00:54,125 --> 02:00:55,500
What's your name, son?
1353
02:00:56,333 --> 02:00:59,041
John Boivin.
Lansing, Mich., 39.
1354
02:00:59,208 --> 02:01:00,250
Appointed to Limoges.
1355
02:01:04,541 --> 02:01:06,791
Bill A bell a, of Tucson, Arizona.
1356
02:01:06,958 --> 02:01:09,083
Married, three kids.
1357
02:01:09,500 --> 02:01:12,625
I am a winemaker,
I can't wait to be in Bordeaux!
1358
02:01:15,541 --> 02:01:16,666
Good work.
1359
02:01:17,375 --> 02:01:18,416
Carry on.
1360
02:01:18,583 --> 02:01:19,958
Let's start again!
1361
02:01:20,875 --> 02:01:22,333
The Vichy government...
1362
02:01:24,916 --> 02:01:26,125
My General.
1363
02:01:39,416 --> 02:01:41,916
This, on future military spending.
1364
02:01:43,166 --> 02:01:44,166
Ah!
1365
02:01:45,541 --> 02:01:46,541
General.
1366
02:01:49,958 --> 02:01:51,708
Prime Minister.
1367
02:01:51,875 --> 02:01:53,333
Thank you for coming.
1368
02:01:59,125 --> 02:02:00,541
Thank you, gentlemen.
1369
02:02:06,458 --> 02:02:08,500
I take it upon myself
1370
02:02:09,500 --> 02:02:12,541
to inform you that we're going to
1371
02:02:12,708 --> 02:02:16,125
launch a landing in Normandy
1372
02:02:16,291 --> 02:02:20,750
in the next few hours,
weather permitting.
1373
02:02:20,916 --> 02:02:22,875
Thank you for inviting me.
1374
02:02:23,041 --> 02:02:24,875
A few hours after
1375
02:02:25,041 --> 02:02:26,958
the operation is launched,
1376
02:02:27,500 --> 02:02:31,333
Eisenhower will give a radio address.
1377
02:02:32,375 --> 02:02:34,416
It's essential
1378
02:02:35,083 --> 02:02:37,416
to show our unity
1379
02:02:38,333 --> 02:02:40,791
to spread fear among the enemy.
1380
02:02:44,958 --> 02:02:47,250
I hope you'll consent
1381
02:02:47,416 --> 02:02:49,541
to speak after him.
1382
02:02:52,416 --> 02:02:55,291
By what right would Eisenhower
give orders
1383
02:02:55,458 --> 02:02:57,333
to the French population?
1384
02:02:59,166 --> 02:03:00,166
By what right
1385
02:03:00,291 --> 02:03:02,291
would he make decisions that fall
1386
02:03:02,458 --> 02:03:04,458
to the French Provisional Government?
1387
02:03:05,458 --> 02:03:09,125
Do you think I don't know
the Americans are about to land
1388
02:03:09,291 --> 02:03:12,583
armed with currency made
in the United States?
1389
02:03:16,375 --> 02:03:17,791
I think
1390
02:03:18,125 --> 02:03:21,458
you should go see Roosevelt in Washington.
1391
02:03:21,833 --> 02:03:23,041
What for?
1392
02:03:23,625 --> 02:03:25,958
I've asked him ten times to go see him.
1393
02:03:26,125 --> 02:03:28,750
He never saw fit to answer.
- My General,
1394
02:03:28,916 --> 02:03:30,958
the battle will be long.
1395
02:03:31,458 --> 02:03:33,250
You can still convince him.
1396
02:03:33,416 --> 02:03:35,541
Convince him of what, Mr. Eden?
1397
02:03:36,750 --> 02:03:38,125
The President...
- Mister,
1398
02:03:38,833 --> 02:03:42,375
if you don't publicly support
the American and British soldiers
1399
02:03:42,541 --> 02:03:45,166
who come to liberate your country,
1400
02:03:45,750 --> 02:03:50,500
we will take this as an insult,
me and the whole Labour Party.
1401
02:03:50,750 --> 02:03:52,041
An insult?
1402
02:03:52,916 --> 02:03:54,791
I lived as a prisoner in London.
1403
02:03:54,958 --> 02:03:58,291
I had to face systematic
opposition in Algiers.
1404
02:03:58,458 --> 02:03:59,708
I sent proposals
1405
02:03:59,875 --> 02:04:02,500
that neither you nor Roosevelt answered.
1406
02:04:02,666 --> 02:04:07,458
And now the Labour Party
would feel insulted by me.
1407
02:04:08,500 --> 02:04:11,500
I won't endorse Eisenhower's statements
by speaking
1408
02:04:11,666 --> 02:04:12,666
after him.
1409
02:04:14,750 --> 02:04:17,375
Go on, fight your war with your fake money.
1410
02:04:17,541 --> 02:04:20,083
General de Gaulle, know this
1411
02:04:20,250 --> 02:04:21,750
once and for all!
1412
02:04:21,916 --> 02:04:25,708
Whenever we have to choose
between you and Roosevelt,
1413
02:04:25,875 --> 02:04:27,666
we'll choose Roosevelt.
1414
02:04:28,833 --> 02:04:32,958
Between Europe and America,
we'll choose America.
1415
02:04:38,666 --> 02:04:41,291
I'll make a note of it,
Prime Minister.
1416
02:04:49,833 --> 02:04:51,916
No question of him going to France.
1417
02:04:55,583 --> 02:04:56,791
Chain him.
1418
02:05:57,416 --> 02:05:59,750
This is a momentous hour in world history.
1419
02:06:00,208 --> 02:06:02,958
This is day for which free
people have long waited.
1420
02:06:03,125 --> 02:06:04,708
This is D-Day.
1421
02:06:06,333 --> 02:06:08,125
The latest film report from France
1422
02:06:08,291 --> 02:06:09,958
gives an idea of the Allied victory.
1423
02:06:10,125 --> 02:06:11,125
The assault is led
1424
02:06:11,291 --> 02:06:14,041
by American soldiers
under General Eisenhower.
1425
02:06:15,208 --> 02:06:17,875
Operations have been
carefully planned
1426
02:06:18,041 --> 02:06:20,291
to ensure steady progress
against a determined enemy.
1427
02:06:20,708 --> 02:06:23,625
Here, Prime Minister Winston Churchill
steps ashore.
1428
02:06:23,791 --> 02:06:26,416
He must have surveyed the scene
with justifiable pride.
1429
02:06:26,583 --> 02:06:30,291
Only four years ago, the British,
defeated during the Battle of France,
1430
02:06:30,458 --> 02:06:31,916
were evacuated.
1431
02:06:32,083 --> 02:06:33,458
Now they are back.
1432
02:06:33,625 --> 02:06:35,791
Greeted by the French people
as liberators.
1433
02:06:36,458 --> 02:06:38,208
Leading some to ask the question.
1434
02:06:38,375 --> 02:06:40,708
Where is General de Gaulle?
1435
02:06:40,875 --> 02:06:41,875
My General,
1436
02:06:42,291 --> 02:06:45,541
the White House announces
your immediate arrival in Washington.
1437
02:06:46,208 --> 02:06:47,458
Did you get an invitation?
1438
02:06:47,625 --> 02:06:49,125
No.
- Then?
1439
02:06:49,583 --> 02:06:52,916
You could ask for
recognition of the Government.
1440
02:06:53,375 --> 02:06:56,833
I won't go apply to Roosevelt.
1441
02:06:58,916 --> 02:07:02,166
But if Eisenhower had permission
to talk to us,
1442
02:07:03,208 --> 02:07:06,666
it would make things easier
for the Resistance,
1443
02:07:06,833 --> 02:07:09,750
for Leclerc and for the Allied forces.
1444
02:07:09,916 --> 02:07:13,083
Eisenhower wants to be able
to make contact with you.
1445
02:07:16,125 --> 02:07:17,375
I have an idea.
1446
02:07:32,666 --> 02:07:34,666
Welcome to Washington, General.
1447
02:07:54,000 --> 02:07:56,375
My country made a mistake,
1448
02:07:56,541 --> 02:07:57,541
General.
1449
02:07:59,791 --> 02:08:03,833
We thought we could isolate
ourselves from the chaos of the world.
1450
02:08:04,000 --> 02:08:07,166
It is clear now
that we must lead it.
1451
02:08:07,458 --> 02:08:10,666
This chaos includes some 150 countries.
1452
02:08:10,833 --> 02:08:15,125
Some must take share the burden:
Britain, the Soviet Union.
1453
02:08:16,166 --> 02:08:18,625
The others will benefit
from our protection.
1454
02:08:20,625 --> 02:08:24,041
We'll have to establish permanent
military bases around the world,
1455
02:08:24,208 --> 02:08:26,000
including in France.
1456
02:08:27,416 --> 02:08:31,833
Speaking of which, I imagine
you've come with requests of your own.
1457
02:08:32,000 --> 02:08:34,333
Not that I know of, Mr. President.
1458
02:08:37,833 --> 02:08:42,041
I gather we have not
recognised your...
1459
02:08:42,541 --> 02:08:43,625
Committee.
1460
02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:48,333
Is it the CFLN?
I am terrible with acronyms.
1461
02:08:48,500 --> 02:08:51,291
It is now called
"the French government",
1462
02:08:51,458 --> 02:08:54,583
which by the way has bought you
a little present.
1463
02:08:55,208 --> 02:08:57,750
A symbol of French resilience
1464
02:08:57,916 --> 02:08:59,416
made in 1942
1465
02:08:59,583 --> 02:09:03,416
while waiting for materiel
to restore the ship itself.
1466
02:09:03,583 --> 02:09:04,583
My!
1467
02:09:04,916 --> 02:09:06,583
Merci beaucoup!
1468
02:09:07,458 --> 02:09:08,458
And...
1469
02:09:09,000 --> 02:09:10,458
Harry?
- Here, sir.
1470
02:09:11,833 --> 02:09:12,833
Pour vous.
1471
02:09:19,583 --> 02:09:21,250
Merci, Monsieur Président..
1472
02:09:31,833 --> 02:09:32,726
Yeah...
1473
02:09:32,750 --> 02:09:34,416
We're three weeks late.
1474
02:09:35,125 --> 02:09:37,166
The President wants
us in Germany faster.
1475
02:09:37,333 --> 02:09:39,375
He questions the Paris' strategy.
1476
02:09:40,000 --> 02:09:41,000
But actually...
1477
02:09:41,166 --> 02:09:45,458
Sir, the Germans control every
strategic position in Paris.
1478
02:09:45,791 --> 02:09:47,875
They're prepared to hold firm.
1479
02:09:48,166 --> 02:09:51,541
I'm afraid it could take weeks
and heavy casualties
1480
02:09:52,250 --> 02:09:53,541
to take the city.
1481
02:09:55,416 --> 02:09:56,583
Sir?
1482
02:09:58,208 --> 02:09:59,333
Mmh.
1483
02:10:00,583 --> 02:10:04,333
General Eisenhower asked
to see you when you arrive.
1484
02:10:13,416 --> 02:10:16,416
AUGUST 19, 1944
1485
02:10:16,791 --> 02:10:18,625
The Allies won't be long!
1486
02:10:18,791 --> 02:10:21,375
If they don't come,
there won't be enough of us.
1487
02:10:31,000 --> 02:10:33,041
At Port-Royal, the Germans arrived
1488
02:10:33,208 --> 02:10:35,125
before they had time to finish.
1489
02:10:40,708 --> 02:10:42,250
Go inside, kids.
- Why?
1490
02:10:42,416 --> 02:10:44,083
It's dangerous, come on!
Come!
1491
02:10:55,791 --> 02:10:57,750
Welcome to France, my General.
1492
02:10:57,916 --> 02:11:00,500
Insurrection in Paris.
They've put up barricades.
1493
02:11:00,666 --> 02:11:02,708
Who gave them the order?
- Nobody.
1494
02:11:02,875 --> 02:11:04,208
Spontaneous action.
1495
02:11:04,875 --> 02:11:07,416
We have to get there
before the Germans massacre them.
1496
02:11:07,583 --> 02:11:09,291
Go, go, go!
1497
02:11:10,625 --> 02:11:12,958
The Paris Mint, with us!
1498
02:11:13,500 --> 02:11:14,708
In position!
1499
02:11:24,125 --> 02:11:25,125
Hurry.
1500
02:11:25,250 --> 02:11:28,041
Unload the sacks,
block the main entrance.
1501
02:11:28,500 --> 02:11:29,625
Gentlemen,
1502
02:11:30,500 --> 02:11:33,791
the Council orders us
to retake control of the Mint,
1503
02:11:33,958 --> 02:11:35,416
in the name of our sovereignty.
1504
02:11:36,625 --> 02:11:37,625
We need you.
1505
02:11:37,750 --> 02:11:39,291
It's France's Mint.
1506
02:11:43,000 --> 02:11:44,083
Thank you.
1507
02:12:25,625 --> 02:12:27,708
All right, it won't last much longer.
1508
02:12:27,875 --> 02:12:29,375
Let's get ready for what's next!
1509
02:12:31,791 --> 02:12:34,416
Dronne, Porte d'Italie.
- Received.
1510
02:12:34,583 --> 02:12:36,726
Strauss, go around to the north
and come in through Asnières.
1511
02:12:36,750 --> 02:12:38,875
Yes.
- I'll take the Porte d'Orleáns.
1512
02:12:39,041 --> 02:12:40,041
My General,
1513
02:12:40,166 --> 02:12:41,791
the supply column was attacked.
1514
02:12:41,958 --> 02:12:43,833
Three fuel lorries were burned.
1515
02:12:44,000 --> 02:12:45,583
Put the Allied commander on!
1516
02:12:50,166 --> 02:12:54,208
ALLIED HQ, NORMANDY
1517
02:12:55,833 --> 02:12:56,833
Cherbourg, six.
1518
02:12:58,875 --> 02:13:01,041
Angoulême, four.
1519
02:13:01,208 --> 02:13:02,458
Lisieux, eight.
1520
02:13:02,916 --> 02:13:06,208
One, two, three, four, five,
six, seven.
1521
02:13:06,375 --> 02:13:08,000
Eight thousand francs, sir.
1522
02:13:12,333 --> 02:13:13,791
Where are you going?
1523
02:13:13,958 --> 02:13:16,333
It's heating up at the city hall,
I'm going as backup.
1524
02:13:16,500 --> 02:13:17,750
Go, go!
1525
02:13:28,375 --> 02:13:29,416
Shit.
1526
02:13:30,125 --> 02:13:31,750
Oh, shit, shit, shit.
1527
02:13:43,875 --> 02:13:45,250
Come on, hurry!
1528
02:13:46,500 --> 02:13:47,625
Paul, speed up.
1529
02:13:48,125 --> 02:13:49,125
Faster!
1530
02:13:49,500 --> 02:13:50,500
My General.
1531
02:13:52,500 --> 02:13:54,083
General Gerow speaking.
1532
02:13:54,666 --> 02:13:56,208
General Leclerc here.
1533
02:13:56,375 --> 02:13:59,583
To resume our advance to Paris
we urgently need fuel.
1534
02:13:59,750 --> 02:14:03,666
Negative, General.
The 3rd Army will move north.
1535
02:14:03,833 --> 02:14:06,375
You will wait for the 1st
1536
02:14:06,541 --> 02:14:08,625
and receive instructions from them.
1537
02:14:09,041 --> 02:14:11,000
But the plan is to go to Paris!
1538
02:14:11,166 --> 02:14:12,541
As I said
1539
02:14:13,083 --> 02:14:14,875
the plan has changed.
1540
02:14:18,250 --> 02:14:19,791
General Leclerc...
1541
02:14:21,583 --> 02:14:22,916
Do you hear me?
1542
02:14:23,541 --> 02:14:25,083
General Leclerc...
1543
02:14:26,125 --> 02:14:27,208
Please.
1544
02:14:35,291 --> 02:14:36,916
General de Gaulle.
1545
02:14:37,875 --> 02:14:38,875
General.
1546
02:14:40,000 --> 02:14:41,208
General Eisenhower,
1547
02:14:41,375 --> 02:14:44,666
there's and insurrection
in Paris as we speak.
1548
02:14:44,833 --> 02:14:48,625
Paris is too difficult for now.
I can't take the risk.
1549
02:14:48,791 --> 02:14:51,791
Let's send the Leclerc division alone, then.
1550
02:14:52,708 --> 02:14:56,500
It would take more than a division
to take Paris, General. I can't.
1551
02:14:56,666 --> 02:14:59,833
General Eisenhower, if we don't go
now there will be a bloodbath.
1552
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:02,625
We will never forgive ourselves.
1553
02:15:03,708 --> 02:15:05,416
I'm sorry, sir.
1554
02:15:06,458 --> 02:15:07,916
But I have orders.
1555
02:15:42,416 --> 02:15:44,000
Save your fuel.
1556
02:15:44,291 --> 02:15:45,791
Or give it to the others!
1557
02:15:49,125 --> 02:15:51,791
My General, me and my Spaniards
have enough
1558
02:15:51,958 --> 02:15:53,291
to get to Paris.
1559
02:16:06,625 --> 02:16:08,791
What's Force L's first duty?
1560
02:16:14,000 --> 02:16:16,375
Dronne, take all your men.
1561
02:16:16,541 --> 02:16:18,625
Go whatever way you like.
Get moving!
1562
02:16:20,333 --> 02:16:21,416
Let's go!
1563
02:16:26,541 --> 02:16:29,416
Tell the Parisians to hold on!
We'll be there tomorrow.
1564
02:17:01,666 --> 02:17:02,708
Sir,
1565
02:17:03,000 --> 02:17:05,458
Leclerc sent a company to Paris.
1566
02:17:07,416 --> 02:17:10,333
I specifically ordered that he stand by.
1567
02:17:10,500 --> 02:17:12,541
This is simply not acceptable!
1568
02:17:12,708 --> 02:17:14,958
Permission to redeploy his division
1569
02:17:15,125 --> 02:17:17,416
and remove him from his command.
1570
02:17:19,083 --> 02:17:23,083
He's only doing his duty
to his country, General.
1571
02:17:25,500 --> 02:17:26,541
Sir...
1572
02:17:37,416 --> 02:17:40,083
This is a direct order to Leclerc.
1573
02:17:40,833 --> 02:17:42,916
Please make sure his whole division
1574
02:17:43,625 --> 02:17:45,708
has everything it
needs to move on to Paris.
1575
02:17:46,666 --> 02:17:47,833
Sir.
1576
02:18:02,041 --> 02:18:03,458
Paul!
1577
02:18:18,875 --> 02:18:20,000
Is he OK?
- No!
1578
02:18:20,166 --> 02:18:23,000
He's bleeding out.
We have to get him out of here!
1579
02:18:24,541 --> 02:18:26,708
Try to cover us!
We'll join you.
1580
02:18:45,416 --> 02:18:47,291
Here! There's hardly anything left.
1581
02:19:14,375 --> 02:19:15,791
Surrender!
1582
02:19:33,875 --> 02:19:37,458
Let it be known that we are undefeated,
we Free French.
1583
02:19:40,416 --> 02:19:43,583
We don't submit,
we don't fall back.
1584
02:19:44,458 --> 02:19:46,418
Our children will have nothing
to reproach us for.
1585
02:20:07,625 --> 02:20:10,291
Here come the reinforcements,
make room!
1586
02:20:15,166 --> 02:20:16,875
They're at the end of the street!
1587
02:20:23,500 --> 02:20:25,833
The Germans are straight ahead,
300 metres!
1588
02:20:26,916 --> 02:20:29,916
A squad over there, 300 metres.
Get ready!
1589
02:21:16,416 --> 02:21:18,625
On my school notebooks.
1590
02:21:19,666 --> 02:21:22,458
On my desk and the trees.
1591
02:21:23,041 --> 02:21:25,583
On the sand, on the snow.
1592
02:21:26,375 --> 02:21:28,291
I write your name.
1593
02:21:28,875 --> 02:21:31,375
On all the pages read.
1594
02:21:31,833 --> 02:21:35,166
On all the blank pages.
1595
02:21:35,333 --> 02:21:36,500
Stone or blood.
1596
02:21:37,041 --> 02:21:39,166
Paper or ash
1597
02:21:39,333 --> 02:21:40,458
I write your name.
1598
02:21:42,291 --> 02:21:44,083
On the gilded images.
1599
02:21:44,250 --> 02:21:46,500
On the warriors' weapons.
1600
02:21:46,666 --> 02:21:49,166
On the crowns of kings.
1601
02:21:49,750 --> 02:21:51,083
I write your name.
1602
02:21:51,500 --> 02:21:54,208
On the jungle and the desert.
1603
02:21:54,791 --> 02:21:57,250
On the nests, on the broom.
1604
02:21:57,416 --> 02:21:59,208
On the echo of my childhood
1605
02:21:59,375 --> 02:22:00,916
I write your name.
1606
02:22:01,416 --> 02:22:03,625
On my ruined shelters.
1607
02:22:04,208 --> 02:22:06,583
On my collapsed lighthouses.
1608
02:22:06,750 --> 02:22:09,333
On the walls of my weariness
1609
02:22:09,625 --> 02:22:11,125
I write your name.
1610
02:22:11,291 --> 02:22:14,083
On the absence without desire.
1611
02:22:14,250 --> 02:22:16,208
On bare solitude.
1612
02:22:16,375 --> 02:22:18,791
On the steps of death
1613
02:22:18,958 --> 02:22:20,083
I write your name.
1614
02:22:21,375 --> 02:22:23,375
On health regained.
1615
02:22:23,541 --> 02:22:25,666
On the vanished risk.
1616
02:22:25,833 --> 02:22:28,333
On hope without memory
1617
02:22:28,500 --> 02:22:30,541
I write your name.
1618
02:22:30,708 --> 02:22:33,541
And by the power of a word.
1619
02:22:34,458 --> 02:22:36,666
I begin my life again.
1620
02:22:37,541 --> 02:22:40,208
I was born to know you.
1621
02:22:41,250 --> 02:22:42,958
To name you
1622
02:22:43,125 --> 02:22:44,125
Liberty.
1623
02:23:36,291 --> 02:23:38,583
Bravo!
We fought too!
1624
02:24:02,291 --> 02:24:03,875
Lille, Orphe.
1625
02:24:07,458 --> 02:24:08,666
Hey, sir!
1626
02:24:08,833 --> 02:24:12,208
Carry on.
That'll make kindling for this winter.
1627
02:25:12,250 --> 02:25:13,625
General,
1628
02:25:14,250 --> 02:25:18,041
it's time to proclaim
the restoration of the Republic.
1629
02:25:18,500 --> 02:25:20,041
France
1630
02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:23,541
never stopped fighting.
1631
02:25:23,708 --> 02:25:28,083
The Republic never ceased to exist.
1632
02:26:00,650 --> 02:26:03,850
NOVEMBER 11, 1944
1633
02:26:21,833 --> 02:26:23,125
Mr. President.
1634
02:26:23,500 --> 02:26:25,291
Prime Minister.
1635
02:26:28,958 --> 02:26:30,458
We've come a long way
1636
02:26:31,208 --> 02:26:33,875
since I received you
1637
02:26:34,583 --> 02:26:36,000
alone,
1638
02:26:36,916 --> 02:26:38,375
in my office.
1639
02:26:39,000 --> 02:26:42,666
That day, you decided France's fate alone.
1640
02:26:43,958 --> 02:26:46,375
Well, you're
1641
02:26:47,166 --> 02:26:48,916
a better host
1642
02:26:49,583 --> 02:26:50,833
than guest.
1643
02:27:01,541 --> 02:27:03,333
Prime Minister,
1644
02:27:03,500 --> 02:27:04,500
today,
1645
02:27:05,000 --> 02:27:07,333
I'm offering you an alliance.
1646
02:27:07,958 --> 02:27:09,958
In the east and in the west.
1647
02:27:10,125 --> 02:27:11,375
Two great powers
1648
02:27:11,541 --> 02:27:13,208
are going to rule the world,
1649
02:27:13,375 --> 02:27:15,250
but our two nations can
1650
02:27:15,416 --> 02:27:17,916
guarantee their independence together
1651
02:27:18,083 --> 02:27:21,333
if their friendship comes above all.
1652
02:27:23,250 --> 02:27:24,875
Mr. President...
1653
02:27:26,500 --> 02:27:27,625
Uh...
1654
02:27:28,083 --> 02:27:31,250
In politics
as in my strategy,
1655
02:27:31,416 --> 02:27:34,541
I'd rather convince the strongest
1656
02:27:35,208 --> 02:27:39,541
than stand in their way.
1657
02:27:40,541 --> 02:27:45,208
I force myself to be present
in every affair of the world.
1658
02:27:46,375 --> 02:27:48,958
I agree to nothing for nothing.
1659
02:27:49,708 --> 02:27:54,250
And I always collect a few dividends
for my country.
1660
02:27:56,666 --> 02:27:58,291
That's how the world goes.
1661
02:28:05,166 --> 02:28:06,375
I see.
1662
02:28:10,875 --> 02:28:12,208
