All language subtitles for Escape to Victory

[Dog barking]

[Dog barking]

[Shouting in German]

[Alarm sounds]

Aah!

Achtung!

They're here.

They're coming, sir.

Hand me those files
over there,

will you, please?

Colonel waldron,
you know herr ender.

A doctor from
the Swiss red cross.

Oberstleutnant Strauss.

Major Von steiner.

Colonel waldron is
the senior British officer,

major Rose, head of
the intelligence committee,

wing commander shurlock,

head of
the escape committee.

I think you've come
to investigate

the killing
of my officer.

An accident.

I would like the red cross
to see the whole camp--

your sleeping quarters,
mess, toilet--

and see that you are
being treated well,

according to the spirit
of the Geneva convention.

P.A.: [Speaking German]

[Whistle blows]

Come on.

P.A.: All prisoners
report to the barracks

for red cross inspection.

Please, sir, can
I have my ball back?

You are the sport fuhrer?

I'm Colby.

Colby?

That's very familiar.

It's a common name.

They're very
enthusiastic.

No bloody good,

but very
enthusiastic, yeah.

Do you play matches?

Oh, yeah. We have
a league, 4 divisions.

We even play
internationals.

Internationals?

Yeah.

England, Ireland,
Scotland, wales.

Ah, you call that
international.

It would be international

if you played
against Germany.

We'd murder you.

Oh.

Colby.

John Colby.

Yes. Western united
in england.

That's right.

It's a shame the war
has ended your career.

Interrupted.

Let's hope so.

[Engine starts]

The colonel's protest

will be a waste
of breath, I'm afraid.

2 hearts.

If we don't kick up a stink,

we give the blighters
permission to do it again.

No bid.

Pass.

Colby, what were you
talking to Jerry about?

None of your business.

2 spades.

It is our business.

You were seen conversing
with the enemy--

a major Von steiner.

What did he want?

He recognized me.

As what? Pass?

Pass.

So the major's
a football fan?

Elementary,
my dear shurlock.

Karl Von steiner played
for Germany in 1938.

What did he
say to you?

Buzz off.

In German?

Yeah.

Shh. I think
I'm getting something.

Radio: Minister of propaganda
is working to extremes

to divert world attention
from losses in north Africa

and the reported inhuman
treatment of the prisoners

from east European nations.

What's the verdict
on Williams?

A regrettable mistake.

The whole bloody war's
a regrettable mistake.

I agree.

Do you?

Well, you can
believe me or not.

It's nothing to me.

If nations could settle
their differences

on the football pitch,

wouldn't that
be a challenge?

How would you
like to play a game

against a team
from the wehrmacht,

a team from
the army base nearby?

What for, to
settle the war?

Unfortunately, no.

Let's say...

For morale.

Yours or ours?

For both.

Life in this place
must be very boring.

What sort of team?

Are they any good?

I haven't
chosen a team.

It's just an idea.

It's not an order.
You can't make us play.

No. It's
a challenge.

Nah. It would
be a washout,

a complete washout.

Why?

Well, look at them.

Look at them.
They're bloody useless.

I mean, look
at those clothes

and bloody
great boots.

They're charging
about there

like a herd
of elephants.

Play football?

They can hardly
stand up.

Boots
can be supplied.

You mean proper gear--
shirts, shorts?

No, no, no, no.

No bloody good.

They couldn't run
about for 90 minutes.

They'll be chucking
their guts up.

All right.
I'm sorry.

Uh, major.

I'd want, uh...

Special conditions,
special rations.

The team would have
to live together,

eat together.

I'd want, uh, meat,
fresh vegetables,

eggs...

Beer.

You'll talk
to your colonel?

No matter
what he says,

if you could supply us
with all that stuff,

you'd have a game
of football.

Oh, which
reminds me--

if it's confined
to officers,

I'm not
bloody playing.

I want
a decent team.

I want the lads...
From over there.

Ok?

We shall see.

Oh, uh,
just a minute.

Right. Escapes.

We've had all
the usual requests,

but here's a new one
you might like.

Peter Bailey
has a plan

to pole-vault
the south fence.

God, what will
they think of next?

Oh, Christ. Refused.

Anything else?

No, no. Let's
have hatch in.

Hatch.

Sorry to keep you waiting.
You're American?

Mmm. Enlisted
Canadian army.

'38, transferred
commandos.

How long have
you been with us?

Since dieppe.

How many attempts?

2 on the way,
3 since then.

Time before last,
I got to stuttgart.

How's this one
going?

Sir, everything
depends on the fact

that some goons don't patrol
when we're showering.

Uh, some of them?

Yes, like hans
and Anton.

At least one
should be outside

walking
back and forth,

but they know we're
inside having a shower.

So they come inside,
lean against the door,

have a smoke
if they can bum one.

If somebody went missing,
they wouldn't report it.

Why not?

They'd think
they'd miscounted

and leave it
until roll call.

If you'd cover
for me at roll call,

I could be gone
for days.

Wait a minute. You're
going too fast for me.

How are you going to get
out of the wash house?

There's a vent
in the shower room.

It leads into a
storeroom or something.

It must have been
built as a lavatory

to match the one
on the German side.

If I can get in
and pick the lock...

You'd be back in the enclosure
where you started.

But I'd be all alone.
There's no one there.

Now, I could
get onto the roof,

go underneath
the barbed wire,

and drop into
the German compound.

Naked?

And, uh, how
are you planning

to get out of the German
compound naked?

I've got 5 or 6 ideas.

Shall we discuss them?

Yes.

Colby insisted on
playing the other ranks

against the best
of the officers.

What's the idea
behind that?

I suppose he wants to pick
the best team possible.

I don't think he's quite
got the point, has he?

Tell him to come and
see me, will you?

Oh!
Oh!

Well done, son.

What's your name?

Sid armor.

How'd you like double
rations for a month?

Whose mother do you
want me to strangle?

Welcome aboard.

Ok, I'm ready
to sign up.

Sign up, hatch.

Tackle him!
Tackle him!

Goal!

Nice shot.

Thanks, Colby.

It's not like playing
for Manchester,

but it's better than
not playing at all.

Welcome aboard.

What about me?

Get out there.

What about me?

Get out there
and play.

[Blows whistle]

The map of marburg
is from an old guidebook,

but it's reliable,
I should hope.

There's a fast train
to Cologne

at 5:33
every Saturday.

Under the map is
a sketch of the stadium

with exits, perspectives,
and changing rooms.

Colonel...what are
you talking about?

I'm talking about
your escape, Colby.

My escape?

Yes, of course.

The whole team,
if possible.

What about the lorry that's
taking you to the match?

You could loosen
the floorboards on the way in

and drop out
on the way back.

You stick to scrounging,
and I'll stick to football.

It's your duty
as an officer.

It could be an
excellent opportunity.

Certainly
worth considering.

I am not interested
in getting them killed.

Are you
afraid to try?

Your escaping is just some
bloody upper-crust game!

They've done their job,

and they just want to be
left alone until it's over.

Now, that
will be all, Colby.

Thank you.

You see that?

Am I good,
or am I good?

What's
your name?

You know my name.

What's your name?

Terry Brady.

How'd you like to live
with the officers?

Only if you got
a chaperon, mate.

Welcome aboard,
Terry.

Shoot!
Shoot!

Where'd you learn
to do that?

When I was a boy...

In Trinidad...

On the streets
with the oranges.

How'd you like to play
football against the Germans?

Why not?

Hey! Foul there!
Stupid bloody yank!

What the hell do
you think this is?

Bloody hell!

What did I do?

You know
bloody well!

Tell me.

You cannot tackle
like that in soccer!

I was just going
for the ball!

Use that American
style again,

and
you'll be barred!

You play english.
I play American.

Don't play the bloody
American game!

What kind of game
is this,

for old ladies
and fairies?

I quit.

Ok!

1, 2, 3,

4, 5, 6,

7, 8, 9,

turn.

1, 2, 3,

4, 5, 6...

Hatch, the committee
has considered your plan.

You may see the tailor
and the forger.

I've got to see
the locksmith.

Yes, but see
the tailor first.

That takes time.

7, 8, 9,

turn.

Thanks.

Hey, Colby!

Colby, I've been
looking for you.

You know that
football team of yours?

You know what
you can do with it?

I don't want to be
on that football team.

As a matter of fact,
you couldn't pay me

to be on that
football team, Colby.

You got it, Colby?

I don't need you or your
football team anymore!

You got it?

I don't need
this aggravation, Colby!

Captain Colby.

How are you?

Sit down, please.

Martin,
zwei bier, bitte.

Why don't you tell me
what this is all about?

Our football match
has been taken

a little
out of our hands.

Oh?

It has been decided

that a German national team
will play a combined team

from the prisoners of war
of the occupied territories

August 15th at
colombes stadium in Paris.

Paris?

That's crazy.

Come in, Mueller.

This is hauptmann
reinhold Mueller,

coach for
our national team.

Captain John Colby.

We've met...

A long time ago.

Ja, in London.

You were center half.

Hauptmann Mueller
will assist me,

manage our team,

make sure you have
everything you need.

Paris.

What if I refuse?

I think you will recognize
some of those names.

Mueller: No, thank you.

Yeah.

There are some
good players on here--

British,

French,

Dutch...

Even a Norwegian.

What about the poles
and the Czechs?

I mean,
off the top of my head,

I could think
of half a dozen

east European players

who would have to be
on that squad.

Isn't that so, Mueller?

I'm sorry.
I cannot let you

have any eastern
Europeans.

Why not?

It's impossible.

Officially,
they do not exist.

Germany does not
recognize them

as prisoners of war.

They're
in labor camps.

Well, maybe
not officially,

but they do exist
as players...

Don't they?

I don't know whether
these east European players

are alive or dead,

but you can find that out.

As an officer
and a gentlemen,

you are obliged
to give me

a marginal chance
of winning.

Make your list,
captain.

I'll see
what I can do.

Collaboration pays.

I don't consider it
collaboration.

And you want to be
exhibited in Paris

like
performing fleas?

London won't take
very kindly to this.

You've
informed London?

No need.

The German
propaganda machine

will take care
of that.

Captain hatch.

Ah.

A customer. Good.

How are you?

I'm very well,
very well.

Now, if you'll
just get dressed...

That's it.
Over there.

Will you chaps
stand guard

while I deal with our
American friend here?

Stay where you are,
Phillip.

Just, uh, just listen.

Here we are.

Uh, have you shaved?

Have you shaved?

Good enough?

Very good.

You know, it's really
rather gratifying.

In spite of the relatively
good conditions here,

compared to other
camps, that is,

everyone still
wants to escape.

Getting dressed? Good.

Don't dillydally.

Now, I can't promise you
a studio portrait,

but it'll do.

Ahh.

You didn't make the lens
as well, did you?

No. I'm a genius,
not a magician.

Sit down.

Right, now,
don't smile.

We want
that criminal look

associated with
passport photographs.

Just, uh, sullen,
depressed, dejected.

That--that's--
that's lovely.

Hold that.

Wait, wait.
One more for luck?

No. Film's too
valuable. Sorry.

This will do.

There we are.

Now, dupain is the name
you want, is it?

Yeah, Marcel dupain,
electrician.

I need an address
in lyons

and papers to show I'm
a conscripted worker.

Yes. Why does monsieur dupain
want to go home?

Uh, compassionate leave,
death in the family.

Can you do it?

Yes. It's
quite simple.

I might even manage a letter
on your bereavement.

Let's see.
What have we got?

Uh...french police...

And Germany...

Health officer...

Military district.

They keep changing.

That's very
inconsiderate of them.

Very. How long
will it take?

You must realize
it's my busy time.

Everybody wants to escape
in the good weather.

Just, uh, be patient,
all right?

Be patient. Yeah.

Thanks.

Hmm.

Who the hell are they?

Who the hell
are those guys?

I've had it. Look.

They switched
the guards on me.

Those goons are patrolling
outside of the wash house.

I know.

What?

Hans and Anton
have been switched

to watch over
the football team.

Colby's football team?

Those are my guards.
I needed them.

In 2 or 3 weeks,
I was out of here.

Well, that's bad luck.

Just between ourselves,

I never thought
it was a very good plan.

Here we are.

Oh, uh, Luis,
this is Arthur.

Hello, Arthur.

Sid, Terry.

Luis Fernandez.

Terry.

Here's your beds
over here.

I'll have
a top one.

Help yourself.
First come, first served.

I'll take
the bottom one

in case
I sleepwalk.

Not bad.

It's like
the savoy hotel.

How would you know?

And no bleeding
chambermaids.

Is this one?

Hi, guys.

What are you doing?

I'm joining the team.

Oh? Tell me everything.

Being on this team's
a one-way ticket

out of here, right?

You're not on this team.

Oh, yeah,
sure, I am.

I'm the trainer.

The what?

You forgot to put in
for a trainer.

Maybe I can't play
your kind of football,

but in my kind,
you know everything

about bruises, sprains,
and Charley horses.

Just get
your Von steiner

to get me
some bandages,

some liniment,
oil, tapes,

we're in business.

I don't want
a trainer.

Colby,
I'm a ballplayer.

I don't want
to be left out

of something
like this.

Pull the other one.

I just want to be
around the guys.

Bullshit.

Don't do this to me.

I don't need
a con man.

Your team
wrecked my escape.

How?

I was ready and
waiting for my papers.

I was going
through the wash hut,

but only if those
2 goons were on duty.

Now those 2 goons have
been transferred to you,

so the only way out
is through that team.

No.

Why not?

I won't be responsible
for your death.

You'll get
yourself shot.

That's my choice,
isn't it?

Is it yes or no?

Ok.

Tony.

Nice to see you.

Great to see you.

Hello.
Hatch, the trainer.

Doug clure.

Yeah.
What's going on?

I'll tell you
in a minute.

Colby's my name.
Hello.

Hatch, the trainer.
Welcome to my holiday camp.

Hello. How are you?

Eric ball, right?
Yes.

Colby.

Hatch, the trainer.

Hello. How are you?

Come inside.

Hatch, the trainer.

Have something to eat,
and I'll explain.

The extra food
is part of the deal.

We still respond to
roll call 3 times a day.

But apart from that,
we make our own rules.

There is no rank here.

This is a football team.

I am the captain
and the manager.

Any questions?

Well...

I don't know
how you did it.

Cheers anyway.

It's been
a long time,

and none of us
feels like

or looks like
world-class players.

It'll be difficult getting
into shape with those boots,

so let's hope
the German major

gives us
the proper gear.

Well...

Uh, we got to start
somewhere,

so let's start
with basics, shall we?

Slow, easy stretching
and pulling, ok?

We won't be needing
that for a while.

Let's go.
Pick 'em up.

Left, left.
Left, right, left, right.

Pick 'em up, pick 'em up,
put 'em down.

Good, good,
good, good.

Good, Colby.

Come on, guys,
pick 'em up, put 'em down.

Good.

They're in all different sizes,
so make sure everything fits.

Everything fits!

I want you to know
if you're having trouble

with appendicitis
or heart attacks,

that's ok.

No problem,
I can handle that,

but I don't want
any blisters!

No blisters allowed!

If there's anything
wrong with you,

tell me now,
not later, ok?

Little inconveniences
like anal bleeding,

tuberculosis,
growing tumors,

little inconveniences
like that, all right?

Shut up.

I'm just trying to get
some team spirit going,

right, guys?

Yes, yes.

Well, make sure
everything fits.

Yeah, everything fits.
Everything fits.

I'll keep this
myself.

Whoa! Look what
they've got.

[Whistles]

Aren't they lovely?

Take no notice, lads.
They're only jealous.

Who's the pretty boy,
then?

Up yours!

If you get up here,
don't try and run through.

Don't try and be a hero
and get a goal yourself.

That center
I want up there,

and I want you
to pass, pass.

Let the ball
do the running for you.

Don't run with it.

You're in no condition
to run for 90 minutes.

This especially
applies to wingers.

If you can't cross,
don't run it through.

Try and get a corner.

A set piece works
in our favor,

which means
that as they--

give me this.

Colby, after
giving me ball here,

I do this, this,

this, this,

this, this, this...

Goal!

Easy.

[Team laughs]

That's the right spirit,
Luis.

Before you know it,

you'll have me
thinking it's easy.

Colby, old chap.

Waldron would like a word.

Oh.

I'll be
right back, mates.

How did they get here?

I insisted
on having them.

You insisted?

They're all
great players.

They were.

You are
a naive fool, Colby,

insisting
on great players.

Von steiner has
sent you 5 skeletons,

guarantees that
you'll turn up in Paris

for his
propaganda victory.

Colonel, i--

the Germans are doing
their job very well.

London knows.
We heard it on the news.

It's in all the papers.

They're calling it
another German lie.

London is saying
that no British officer

would ever be involved
in such a game.

London is saying,
colonel?

What about those
poor bastards there?

Do we send them back
to the labor camps?

That's a very good
question, Colby.

Colby, they can't
go in there like that,

full of lice.

We should take them
around back,

scrub them,

take off what they're
wearing and burn it.

You guys want to
get some water?

Anybody got any soap?

I have.
I got ddt as well.

All right.

Go on, guys.
Get some water.

I'm responsible
for them being here...

And I am responsible
for them being sent back

if we don't play.

Well...

I can't do that.

But I can't tell
any of you

to disobey
his high command.

So each of you will have
to make his own decision.

We play.

What else can we do?

Yes, we'll play.

Yeah?

Everybody?

Yeah, come on,
let's play.

Pass it around.
Work on the foot.

Looking good.

You've got a good bunch.

These guys are coming
along real fine.

The Germans have to go
some to beat them.

You're an optimist.

What are you?

Hatch!

That's not bad, hatch.

What's not bad?

Using your hands.

You've got feet,
I've got hands.

Yeah.
Give me that.

Get in there.

Sure thing, general.

Luis.

Luis...fire
a few at him.

Ah, got to do better
than that.

Come on, you guys!
Fire them in here!

Here we go!
Put 'em in there!

Give me some balls,
Charlie.

You're getting serious
now, huh?

Fire 'em in here.

Let's go, all right?

Come on,
don't be afraid of me.

Yeah, what, what?

Faster!

Whoa!

Right down the middle!

Can you do it
with your mouth shut?

The mouth and the hands

work together as a team.

Come on, come on!

Get your body
behind it.

Not like that.
Like that.

Hands behind it,
pull it into the chest.

Don't worry about it.

Come on, hatch.
I want to see you now.

Hatch: I thought
you're my friend.

I am your friend.

You know, hatch,
to be honest with you,

you don't kick well,

you don't
dribble well,

but you could be
a good goalkeeper.

Keep trying.

Thanks a lot.

He's right.
You're not bad.

Hmm...ca va,
monsieur dupain?

I'm good. Do you
have my papers?

It was ready, but
the colonel's taken it.

He wants to see you.

The colonel?

The colonel
took my passport?

Yes, he did.

Thanks.

How's that French
coming along?

Comme ci comme ca.

You don't need much.
"I'm going to a funeral."

Uh, je vais enterrement...

Something like that.

Well,
the papers are good.

Oh, hatch!

Uh...remember to take
your identity tag.

We don't want
to be shot as a spy.

No. I don't want to be
shot as anything.

Au revoir.

He's on his way, sir.

Good.

[Knock on door]

Enter.

Hatch.

Hello.

Sit down.

Cup of tea?

Yes, please.

Tea?

Beautiful.

God knows what the fellow
will do in civilian life.

Make his own pound notes
and share certificates.

Are you ready?

Pretty near.

Anything else
we can do for you?

No, but thanks
for helping out.

Don't thank us.
It's a team effort.

What peery means
is nowadays

the Germans are up
to all the tricks.

It's almost impossible
to escape without help.

Helping one another
is the most important part

of the whole thing.

How would you like to do
something to help us,

provided, of course,
that you get out?

Which way were you,
uh, planning to go?

Lyons, near
the Swiss border.

Switzerland?

I suppose you hadn't thought
of going via Paris, had you?

No. Paris? No, sir.

You'd find it easier.

They wouldn't expect you
to go that way.

That's still
occupied territory.

Where do I go then?

We could supply you
with contacts, names,

and safe houses.

You'd be
well looked after.

No, thanks.

Thank you all
for your concern,

but I don't plan to see
Paris until after the war.

Hmm? Hmm?

Why, colonel?

We want you to contact
the resistance for us.

What?

And arrange the escape
of the football team.

Colby's escaping?

All of them.
The whole team.

This match is a propaganda
stunt for the Germans.

It's a wonderful
opportunity for us.

But why send me?

The French may have
thought of all this.

Indeed they may.

But then again,
they may not.

We have to get word
to them somehow.

What do you
want me to do?

Find out if an escape's
feasible. Ask them to try.

If they won't?

They won't.

But they'd help you get
to Spain or Switzerland.

I suppose
I could do that.

Wonderful.

Thank you.

I'll go over
the details tonight.

Not a word to Colby.

He'll have
to know something.

He'll have to know
you're going, but not why.

I really don't
believe this.

What?

This frigging game
is wrecking my life.

Sir.

Good luck.

[Showers running]

Red cross here.

Rotes kreuz.

[Showers running]

Good?

Gut, gut.

All the best, hatch.

Hope he makes it.

Das ist genug!
Bereit euch!

Rasch. Heraus.

Heraus.

Schnell. Schnell.

Rasch.

Abgetreten!

Lads, stay close
to him.

Easy, easy.

He doesn't have quite
as much to say for himself.

Achtung! Achtung!

Lights out!

[Harmonica playing]

Lights out!

[Dog barks]

[Dog barks]

[Dog barks]

[Radio plays
German song]

[Dog barks]

[Woman laughs]

[Speaking German]

Bis morgen.

Tschuss.

Tschuss.

Gute nacht, fraulein.

Offnen.

Nach Paris, bitte.

[Speaking German]

[Speaking German]

Madame, komme.

Was ist ihr grund
ihrer reise?

Parlez-vous francais?

Sprechen sie
nicht deutsch?

Non. Je vais
enterrement a Paris.

Je vais
enterrement.

Mon cherie!

[Whistle blows]

[Speaking French]

[Speaking French]

Merci.

Salut.

Salut.

Un autre.

Oui.

[Speaking French]

[Speaking French]

Mister?

The answer is no.

That's what I figured.

We do not know where
they will stay in Paris,

and I do not want
battle in the streets.

The Germans will
have a whole battalion

at the colombes stadium.

Le stade de colombes?

[Speaking French]

What did he say?

There were sewers there,

sewers going
into the seine.

It's covered over now.

Who knows?

We will have a look, ok?
Bonsoir.

What am I
supposed to do?

You will stay
with Renee, please.

The house is safe, ok?

Good-bye.

Salut.

Au revoir, Renee.

Bonsoir.

Thanks.
No-- merci.

Look, lady,
I just said thanks.

No offense.

We are both on
the same side, aren't we?

Please...

I just wanted to talk.

It's been a long time

since I've talked
to a woman.

Do you understand
what I'm saying?

Parlez-vous english?

I understand you
very well.

Good. Why don't you
sit down and we'll talk?

My friends
call me hatch.

No!

You don't want
to be my friend?

I didn't want
to hear your name.

And now that I do,
I don't want to hear

anything else about you.

The less I know,
the better it is for you.

And for you?

And for me, too.

My being here puts you and
your friends in a tough spot.

Is that why you're mad?

I'm not mad.

But being in a tough
spot, as you call it,

is where I choose to be.

How do you feel
about me being here?

How do I feel?

I feel responsible,
hopeful.

When I get word

that someone I sheltered
is safe, then I'm happy.

I can forget them.

But when I hear

that they've
been caught or killed,

then I
remember everything.

I remember their face,
their voices,

what they said
about their parents,

their child, their pets,
and I mourn for them.

I don't want
to mourn for you.

Well, you're safe
with me, Renee.

How?

Well, I'm, uh...
An orphan, a bastard.

I have no parents, no money,
no wife, no children.

I don't even
have a pet.

Anything I might say in
my sleep to the contrary

can't be held against me.

Do you live here alone?

No.

Are you married?

He got killed the first
week of the war.

I'm sorry.

Who do you live with?

Now with francois.

Is that your boyfriend?

It's late. I'll have him
move out of his room,

so you can sleep there.

Wait. You don't have
to get francois up.

I don't want
to cause any trouble.

I can sleep here
on the couch.

My son francois.

Alles ist in ordnung.

Danke.

Colby:
Easy, Terry. Careful.

[Speaking German]

Colby: Shit.

Herr kommandant, bitte!

[Laughter]

The American's escape

has put me in
a very bad position

with the commandant
of the high command.

Hatch's escape had nothing
to do with my team.

That was his own idea.

Your men covered
for him.

What do you
expect them to do?

What would you do?

I want your word, Colby,

there'll be no attempt
to escape from the team.

Scout's honor.

The idea of the match
was friendly.

That was the idea.

I want your word.

I can't give it to you.

You will all be very
closely guarded now.

All right.

Wacher, rein.

C'est ici.

And down the sewer here

we discover a foundation
pile of the stadium.

Hmm...
Sounds good to me.

But we must make sure
which one it is.

We have to find
the original plans.

We think
the best chance to escape

will be from
the visitors' dressing room.

Maybe they'll be
left alone at halftime.

Maybe. But we can run
into a concrete wall.

Anything can happen.

You will have
to go back.

What?

To the camp...
To tell them.

The team.

They must know
that we'll be there.

It took me a year
to get out.

We need a contact.

Colby must know
and also your colonel.

That's not my problem.

You believe that?

I don't know what
to believe. I don't.

Do I break back
into the camp?

No. You get captured.

Get captured.

All right,
suppose I get captured

and they send me to
the wrong prisoner camp.

What about that?

The Germans will take you
to the same place again

to show the other prisoners
you're not a success.

You've got all
the answers, don't you?

Yes.

Mister, you will
leave tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

Yes. Tomorrow.

This frigging
soccer game...

Allons-y.

I'll leave you my papers.

They're pretty good.

I'm sure somebody will
be able to use them,

all right?

Well...

He's back.

Schnell.

Oh, thank you.
Thank you.

[Cheering]

Come on.

March, march.

So, our hatch
knows his mythology.

What does it mean?

Mercury...

Messenger of the gods.

No flies on Rosie.

News, eh?

How do we find out
what it is?

Good question.

We sent him to Paris
on your behalf,

yours and the team's.

Colonel...

I don't know what
you're talking about.

We sent him to Paris
to arrange your escape.

Hatch did that for you?

No. For you.

We could argue
about that.

Why didn't you tell me?

No point unless he managed
to arrange something.

He appears to have
been successful.

Snag is,
he can't tell us.

He's in the cooler
until after the match.

You'll have to get him
out of there, won't you?

Excuse me.

I have
a training session.

Just a minute. Colby.

I know you wanted
to play

for the sake of
those eastern Europeans.

I admire you.

We both know you'll risk
a court-martial for this

after the war.

What have
you accomplished?

Given them a couple
of weeks of life?

What happens to them

after your match
is over?

For the same reason
you wanted to play,

you must escape...
If you can.

What can I do? I can't
get him out of there.

Hatch is officially
your trainer, isn't he?

Von steiner and
the camp commandant

won't buy that one.

I have to think
of something else.

Crazy yank.

You, colonel waldron,
and major Rose

will travel to Paris

along with other senior
officers from various camps

to represent
your countries.

I won't do it.

You have no choice.

Then I'll travel,

but I won't
represent anything.

You will be seen.

The team will be ready
to travel

at midday on Thursday.

Further arrangements
will be announced later.

One of my men is in
the punishment block,

in solitary.

I'll give you a trainer.
You don't need him.

Hatch is my goalkeeper.

The American? No.

Tony Lewis
is your goalkeeper.

He's broken his arm.

When did this happen?

This morning.

Put someone else
in goal.

Hatch is my best man.

I thought the idea
was to give us a chance.

This is the idea.

If the camp doctor
verifies this broken arm,

you may
have the American.

Thank you.

Well, Tony...

Try and make it
a clean break, will you?

I'll try.

I won't even get to
see the game, will I?

Sit on the bed.

Put your arm
between those two.

Ok.

Aah!

[Moaning]

[Speaking German]

Oui, monsieur.

[Speaking French]

Oui, monsieur.

Gut.

Colby, I don't know how
to play this game,

so where do I stand
for the corner kick?

What?

I'm not good
at the game.

Where do I stand
for a corner kick?

Go to sleep, hatch.

[Speaking German]

Kommen sie aus.

Folgen sie mir.

[Speaking French]

[Speaking French]

[Broadcasting
in German]

Colby.

What?

Where do I stand
for a corner kick?

The far post,
facing the ball.

Thanks.

For a while, I thought you
were keeping it a secret.

[Band plays]

Announcer:
Mesdames et messieurs...

[Introducing players
in French]

[Applause]

[Band plays
Deutschland uber alles]

A hearty welcome to all
our listeners in england.

There's a few minutes to go

before the kickoff
of this historic match.

This great crowd of 50,000

really has something
to look forward to

during the next
90 minutes.

To ensure fair play
and good sportsmanship,

the German organizers
picked a neutral

to referee the match.

And he is now ready
for the toss of the coin.

Heads.

The winner will choose
to kick off or defend,

but will probably choose
to play toward the east goal

with the wind
in his favor.

The allies will kick off
this great event.

I tell you,
years from now,

men will say
of this game,

"did it happen?"

I tell you in the listening
audience today,

it is happening.

We're all witness
to an occasion

long to be remembered,

not as propaganda,
as some would say,

but as a magnificent
sporting spectacle.

Hatch, hatch.

Hatch, hatch.
Halftime, halftime.

All right. Thanks.

What did he say?

All right,
it's on for halftime.

Here's to victory.

Victoire!
Victoire!

Victoire!
Victoire!

Come on, look alive!

Let's go! Let's play ball!

Play hard, huh?

Let's play hard.

Armor kicks off
for the allies,

and the game has begun.

You'd have a job
getting 22 better players

than are out there
on the pitch right now.

The allies
are playing it cool.

Very close.

Very close.

The ball is back in play
by schmidt,

Germany's legendary
goalkeeper.

Reinhart...
Reinhart to Becker...

To baumann, number 4.

Forward now to Brandt.

Back to Albrecht,
number 11.

Watch my back!
Watch my back!

[Whistle blows]

Here's your
corner kick, hatch.

Guys, help me out.

Defend
that goal post.

Watch him there.
Watch him.

Watch it.
Watch him there.

Heads up! I got it!

It's a goal!

Germany 1, allies nil.

And listen
to that applause!

[Applause]

The crowd is going wild.

Take it easy.
You're tight as a drum.

Just get me
to halftime.

Don't get pulled
off your line.

That's a foul!

Watch it back there.

Goal!
Goal!

Germany 2, allies nil.

Damn!

[Speaking French]

[Whistle blows]

[Blows whistle]

[Whistle blows]

[Whistle blows]

Penalty area.

The referee will probably
call a penalty kick,

and he does.

[Whistle blows]

[Yelling in German]

This is the fella here.

Oh, come on!

The referee trying
to settle them down.

The call will remain.

It'll be a penalty kick--
one on one.

Hatch, the goalkeeper.

He'll have to be
on his line.

He takes a shot
at you.

I'm supposed
to stop it?

He cannot move
until the ball is struck.

Yes, yes, indeed.

Germany's great baumann
will take the kick.

[Whistle blows]

Goal!

And he puts it
by hatch,

and it's 3-0 in favor
of Germany.

The allies kick off again.

It's ray.
Ray to Fernandez.

Fernandez back to ray.

We have seen
some very good football.

Very fortunate for us,
indeed.

Baumann makes
a beautiful tackle,

dispossesses him,

and the Germans are again
on the attack.

So it's the Germans 4-nil.

Stay on the bloody line!

I missed.

Stay on the line!

When they come in,
narrow the angle.

[Whistle blows]

We'll play 10 men.

I'll go forward.

This ain't
going to be easy.

We've taken enough!
Let's get 'em!

The allies are playing
with 10 men.

Interesting,

because Colby has chosen
to give this advantage

to the Germans.

Get it out!

My ball!

4-1, and less than a minute
to go till halftime.

This kind of action

reminds me of the world cup
of '38,

played right here in
colombes stadium in Paris.

[Speaking French]

The end of 45 minutes
of play,

and it's been
a brilliant first half.

Well done, lads.

Well, hatch,
we got you to halftime.

Let's see.

We scored a goal.

Oh, yeah? Who scored?

Terry scored a goal.

Fantastic.
What's the score now?

4-1, but at least
we scored a goal.
One goal.

We're doing good.

We'll be all right.

Win the second half, ok?

Yeah.

Way to go,
guys.

What's happening?

We're getting
out of here.

How?

Our escape has been arranged
to the seine river.

Once we reach
the other side,

we'll blow the tunnel.

A boat will have us
in the country in one hour.

Salut!

Vite, vite.

Vite, vite, vite.

Colby, take the lead.
I'll take the rear.

Ok. Get Lewis
and Peters.

Hold on.
I don't want to go.

Shut up and get in.

We can beat them.

Hatch, we still
got a chance.

A chance, my ass. Move!

Hatch, don't you see?

You guys crazy or something?
You have no chance.

You understand?
No chance.

They've been lucky,
that's all.

Them and the bloody ref.

They're a bunch
of goddamn maniacs.

Come on, let's go!

Come on.

Hey, I don't
want to go.

Let's go back.
We can win.

Who said that?

I did.

We're not being
slaughtered.

What do you mean
we can win?

Colby,
we're losing time.

Play the second half?

We only got
a few minutes.

We can win this!

Not with me
in goal.

Sure, we can.
He's not bad.

You want to
go back to prison?

We need you!

Do what you want!
I'm leaving!

I ain't going back
to prison!

You got to come back!

Forget it.

If you don't come back,
we can't go!

If you go,
we have to go with you.

We can't go back
without a goalie!

Hatch!

Please, hatch.
That game means a lot to us.

You know that.

We must go back.
Please.

Hatch, let's go.

We can win.

Come on.

Hatch, if you run now,

we lose more than a game.

Please, hatch.

[Band plays fanfare]

Good luck, hatch.
Good luck.

[Blows whistle]

The allies are playing
above themselves,

throwing everything
into a desperate attack.

Oh-ho!

Quickly the allies have
come back with a goal,

and it's 4-2.

15 minutes remain
in this incredible game,

and you won't see many
better than this.

A marvelous game.

We anticipated it,

and so far
it's a sizzler.

The Germans
are in top form.

Get lost!

Get mean now!
Fight back!

Yeah.

[Blows whistle]

The goal
has been disallowed.

No goal! No goal!

The goal
has been disallowed.

No goal?

It's in there!

That's
a bloody lie!

That's a bloody lie!

Well, this game
has had all the drama.

An equalizing goal
now not allowed.

So the allies are still
behind 3 goals to 4.

I want to play.

You can't play
like that.

I feel better.

I must play.

Ref, he's coming back on!

3 goals to 4
in this football festival.

Only 4 minutes remaining,

4 very crucial minutes.

The Germans are powerful
and very strong.

Crowd: Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

[Blows whistle]

Schmidt, one of the best
goalkeepers in the world,

showing us again he's
not lost any of his skill.

About a minute remaining.

Schmidt left-foots it
down the field.

[Blows whistle]

A deliberate foul by ray,

as the clock runs out,

and the penalty correct.

Near the very end
of the game,

they've resorted
to fouling.

What a sad way
to end this game.

[Singing
la marseillaise]

[Whistle blows]

[Whistle blows]

Crowd: Victoire!

Victoire!

Come on, hatch.
Come on.

Victoire!

Victoire!

[Whistle blows]

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!

Victoire!
