Search the warehouses!

Spotlight!

Bring him here!

I'll deal with him.

A sniper! That window up there!

Female agents

in 1940, Winston Churchill
created a new kind of secret service,

the special operations executive,
better known as the soe.

One section was responsible
for overseeing operations in France.

In 1941, a new head was appointed,
colonel Maurice buckmaster.

In 1944, the soe's "French section”

was dedicated, at a heavy human cost,

to ensuring the success of d-day.

Saturday 27th may, 1944
tempsford airfield, england

I heard about your husband.

I'm sorry.

Claude was shot 40 days ago.
I intend to fight on.

With or without your blessing.

How did you find me, Louise?

A liaison officer told me he'd trained
with a desfontaines in London.

I thought nothing of it.

I was sure you'd given up.

That I was like father...

Saying, "the war's over,
let's just capitulate.”

And blindly follow pétain? Yes.

I was sure of it.

That you'd bailed.

Actually, by going to London,

you found the best way to fight on

and get away from Claude and I.

I never got what you saw in him.

Not to mention he was a communist.

Soe hq, London
colonel buckmaster's section

how long did you work as a nurse
in bourg-en-bresse?

I never really stopped.

Would you care to go back to it?

I'm not here to heal casualties.

You'd be evacuating one.
From a German hospital in normandy.

A German casualty?

A brit disguised as one, actually.

What is this madness?

Probably what the poor fellow said
when he saw what had happened.

The "poor fellow' is a geologist.

On a mission for us,

he was spotted by a German in normandy.

Our man shot him and stole his uniform.

- That's pretty cheeky.
- Stupid, you mean.

He was in lisieux when
the royal air force bombed it.

So he became a German casualty.

And was sent to a wehrmacht hospital
in pont-i'evéque.

Why was he in normandy?

That's just what the Nazis
must never find out.

You think I can get him out all on my own,

dressed as a nurse?

Not all on your own.

There'll be five of you.

Five women under Pierre's command.

Your brother devised the whole mission.

We already have one agent in place.

An Italian from Milan's Jewish aristocracy.

How are you?

Her codename is Maria.
She'll liaise with you.

She's already made contact
with the geologist.

To complete the unit,
here are some potential recruits.

Some have already done
a commando course.

How long do we have to train?

A one-day refresher course,
then you fly straight out.

That's insane!

Have you heard of colonel heindrich?

No.

He was with the abwehr,
counter-espionage,

and he just joined the
ss's intelligence unit.

He must be on the geologist's tail.

These were taken by one of our spies
on the english coast.

What are those strange objects
in the harbour, colonel?

They look like floating grain silos.

Grain silos protected by ack-ack guns?

I believe these blocks play a role
in landing the enemy's invasion forces.

Colonel heindrich,

why have we concentrated the majority
of our units around calais?

The allied fleet can unload troops
and equipment faster in an existing port.

And don't forget,

it's the shortest route
between the english and French coasts.

I'm sorry to insist, field marshal,

but what if it's all a diversion?

What if the landings
took place somewhere else?

Such as, colonel?

Across from southampton, in normandy,

on one of the beaches.

Where we spotted an english geologist.

Compass, readings, samples...
In his panic, he left all this behind.

I'm sure he hasn't made it back
to england yet.

The thing about you ss people

that most amuses me
is that you never have any doubts.

Colonel, do you seriously believe

I will move all my panzer divisions
because of a phantom geologist?

Colonel, if I may say so,

you see the world with different eyes.

The field marshal's prussian.

As far as I know, we're
not fighting prussia.

Talk to someone
who has access to the fiihrer.

Who? Rommel?

He'd listen to you.

He could get you a hearing in Berlin.

First, let's find the english geologist.

Without him, I've no hope.

Sunday 28th may, 1944
holloway prison, London

a stay of execution
by order of the lord chancellor.

It's not a mistake?
I killed a man, remember.

Your pimp? I don't call that a man.

Nobody forced me into anything.

Stop being silly.
If not for us, you'd have been hanged.

That's your only alternative
to our proposition.

I knew there'd be a catch. What is this?

We need you for a mission in France.

Who do I have to fuck? Pétain?

We are reliably informed
that you used to perform nude in soho.

You need a girl who'll get her leg over,
so here I am?

You must be desperate.

We also need a girl who can kill.

What do I get out of all this?

What are you thinking?

That you can refuse?

I'm not the type who works for nothing.
Thanks anyway.

You'll die like a whore
who never had a chance.

Is that what you want?

If the mission's a success,
you'll be pardoned.

I'm sure she's the right choice.

We can't trust her, she's a nutcase.

A rope round her neck and she said no.
That takes a hell of a nerve.

When the next one finally arrives,
let me do the talking.

What are you doing?

I'd hate to cramp your style.

I'm gaélle lemenech.
We have an appointment?

I'm Louise. Please, sit down.

Sorry I'm late.
The general often keeps us back.

Hello, hoe.

Hi, pick.

- Still owe me a drink.
- Tomorrow?

"Hoe"?

Yes, it's a tradition in our unit.

They give us the names of tools.

They wanted to call me saw but I refused.

"Eye-saw!"
you see my point, don't you?

Besides explosives,
what do you do for de gaulle?

Do you ever go on missions?

Never. It's my only regret.

Thanks.

Making bombs without blowing them up
is frustrating.

You can vent your frustrations
with me in France.

Sorry, but I can't.

I work for de gaulle, not Churchill.

If you don't mind me saying,
you're in with that officer.

Sorry?

The lieutenant.
He can't take his eyes off you.

If I were you, I wouldn't think twice.

Who knows? Tomorrow, we may be dead.

You realise what you're asking?

Explosives expert and trained commando.
If you can do better...

It's humiliating.

You weren't always so picky.

- Well?
- She'll do it.

Was it hard?

The scouts, the cancelled wedding,
the fiancé sent to work in Germany...

Listening to that all night was tough, yes.

Is it true the gestapo
tortured you last year?

Yes.

Why go back?

What are you trying to prove?

I'm not trying to prove anything.

Monday 29th may, 1944
fany hq, London

You're sure it's for me?

Who told you I love Paris-brests?

We talked to your parents in orléans.

Apparently, they bake wonderful cakes.

Their only daughter runs off to Paris.
That must really hurt.

Especially when she flees to London
under an assumed identity.

Mademoiselle Suzy despres.

Very pretty, liliane.

I wonder if that doesn't suit you more.

We know you were
the mistress of a Nazi officer

when you danced
at the folies-bergéres in Paris.

And here we have the banns for a wedding...

Due to take place on 14th October, '41,

at the church of Saint-germain-des-prés.

Curiously, the ceremony never took place.

Why?

Stand up. Remove that uniform.

You're unworthy of it.

Leave this one to me.

Why not come for me before, if you knew?

Because we need you now.

For my secretarial skills?

No, dancing back home. For a good cause.

I'll never go back to France.

It's that or a court martial. Choose!

I put my past behind me.
I broke off the engagement.

If you want to put it behind you,
I have the solution.

Tuesday 30th may, 1944
tempsford airfield

For unforeseen expenses.

How much is in there?

And these are your travel permits
and ration books.

You must each learn
your new identity by heart.

It's very important.

Raymonde? Do I look like a raymonde?

Funny name for a music-hall artiste.

If the gestapo arrest you,
you hold out for 48 hours.

- 48 hours?
- Long enough for the others to reach safety.

What if they torture us?

Detach yourselves from reality.

Always remember, talking too soon
can cost people their lives.

As a last resort, you have this.

- Cyanide?
- Yes.

If ever you need it, bite on it.
The poison acts in five minutes.

And farewell, raymonde!

- Have you ever been blessed?
- Never.

If I get on my knees, it's not to pray.

Your brother's a sweetie,
but I'm not stupid.

Did you ask him to chat me up?

Careful what you say.

Actually, I'm glad.

I was bored and underpaid with de gaulle.

- You lost this.
- It doesn't matter.

I'd never use it.
It's against my religion.

God doesn't care
what goes on down here.

You say that because of your husband?

My brother was shot on his 20th birthday.

But I never lost my faith.

Field marshal pétain, head of state,
will address you now.

French people,
don't make our situation worse

by resorting to acts
that give rise to tragic reprisals.

It will be innocents in the French
population who suffer the consequences.

Don't listen to those
who try to exploit our distress.

They will lead the country to disaster.

France will save herself by observing
the highest standards of discipline.

Obey, therefore,
the orders of the government.

Colonel? She's waiting at the bar.

It wasn't easy, but I've
found you a little gem.

My dear eddy, if it was easy,
I'd find her myself.

Colonel, I have something to ask you...

Not your export business again?

If you help me, you'll triple your income.

Triple my income?

You think that interests me?

Night of 31st may, 1944
normandy coast

Stop praying!
You'll bring us bad luck!

Leave me alone.
I do what I want.

Nurse!

Come quickly!

Everybody, prepare to jump!

Suzy, clip yourself on. Hurry!

Check your gear.

Number four, ok!

Number three, ok!

Number two, ok!

Number one, ok!

Thursday 1st June, 1944
hotel Regina, Paris

Colonel, I got a call from
the military hospital in pont-i'evéque.

I'm waiting for confirmation,

but we may have our geologist.

Road to pont-l'eveque, normandy

Your permits, please.

Who's she? I don't know her.

She's new. Replacing lucienne.

Your papers, please!

- We're here for the show.
- Go right ahead.

Find the englishman
and I'll catch up with you.

What are you going to do?

I need a word with my brother.

Nobody gets out until I say so.

There's a problem.
Suzy's ex just arrived.

- Are you sure?
- Positive. The one in the photo.

We can't let him take the geologist
or see Suzy.

The ss-man she was to marry,
was it heindrich?

What are you keeping from me?

Get back to Maria.
That's an order.

Come on, everybody out.

Careful, girls, you're being watched.

- They transferred him upstairs.
- Shit!

Come on!

I'll get a stretcher.

I'll wait here.

In 30 seconds, you're on.

A word of advice.
Don't look, you may get a shock!

- The patient needs treatment.
- Nobody enters.

- Colonel's orders.
- Get off!

- I won't allow this, colonel!
- What are you talking about?

The man you're beating.
It's a hospital, not an abattoir.

You are forbidden to enter that room.

Understood?

What are you doing there? Get out!

Finished?

I won't be long.

Excuse me, can I make a call to Paris?

Encore! Encore!

Louise! The show's ended.

Let's go!

Hurry up!

Open the windows!

Jeanne!

Come on!

Cover them, with me! Come here!

Open up! Back a bit more!

20 seconds!

Ten seconds!

- Hurry!
- Let's go!

Tell the wehrmacht
to sweep the whole area!

I can't, colonel.
The radio room's been blown up.

This is colonel Karl heindrich.
Put me through to wehrmacht hq in...

- Colonel...
- Wait!

Wehrmacht hq in pont-i'evéque.
I need reinforcements! What?

One of the soldiers took
photos of the show.

What?

Well done, ladies.

You did a good job.

When the war's over,

I'll light a candle in church for you.

You may think it's stupid,

but promise me you'll do the same.

You too, Louise.

I'll never go back into a church.

And candles are for the dead,
not the living.

Maria, have you got a pencil?

Colonel, an english aircraft
was spotted over the coast.

Message received.

Is there a spot nearby
where a plane could land?

- Bernard, Rene, get the fires lit.
- Ok.

Stay in the ambulance.

Louise, we need to talk.

- We're heading for Paris.
- What's Phoenix mean?

- I can't tell you.
- Or about heindrich either?

If he'd seen Suzy,
we'd all be dead by now.

Why did you lie to me?
Don't you trust me any more?

- You haven't changed.
- Wait...

- We can still eliminate heindrich in Paris.
- Paris?

It's crawling with collaborators.
It's too dangerous. With Suzy?

She's our best chance.
It's why we chose her.

You want to use her as bait?

That's your plan b?

She won't have the nerve.
She'd rather kill herself.

The girls did their jobs.

They were chosen for a single mission.
I gave my word.

Let them go.
We'll find a way without them.

Maria, rené and I drive to Paris tonight.

Bernard knows a safe house.
You'll join us tomorrow.

We'll meet at the institute for the blind
at duroc.

The director is with us.

They'll be risking their
lives, you realise?

Every day, agents die
accomplishing their missions.

You'd never have done this to men.

Girls, here comes our taxi to Buckingham!

The mission's not over.
We must be in Paris tomorrow.

Paris? Is he insane?

Nobody said anything about Paris.

We had a deal. I respected my side of it.

You gave me your word.

I'm going back.

We're all going to Paris. No exceptions.

Go on, fire!

Jeanne, not now. We have to obey orders.

You're a bunch of shits!

Hurry back to the safe house.

Stop! Get your hands in the air!
Don't move!

Cease firing!

No, don't. I'll go.

I want him alive. Aim for his legs!

Grab him, quickly!

Get his pill!

Move it out!

Don't.

Is the mission confirmed?

You spend the night here.

Bernard will take me to lisieux.

I'm going ahead to Paris.

Sleep in the cellar tonight,
just to be on the safe side.

I'm really sorry about your brother.

A freezing cellar and rotten apples
when we have millions in cash.

What better time to spend our cash?

How can you think of money now?

It's the way I am.

I'm a whore, not a choirboy.
Never forget it.

You're used to humiliation. I'm not!

- I refuse to crawl to the Germans!
- Let go of me!

If we're ordered to Paris,
we don't argue, ok?

Stuff your orders!
I'm not a spy or a resistance hero.

Find some professionals.

Pierre's been arrested. René's dead.

It's our duty to take their place.

Our duty?

As soon as the war's over,
we'll be whores and slaves again.

I'm not dying for the French flag.

In fact, I'll take my share
and be gone tomorrow.

Anybody touches the money...

Stop!

Hurry, it's light already.

We did our best, colonel,
but the negative was partly damaged.

Only this one is of any use.

- Have you had it enlarged?
- Naturally.

Friday, 2nd June, 1944
gestapo hq, Avenue foch, Paris

Shaky handwriting. A wounded man, maybe.
I found it in your pocket.

The geologist wrote it, didn't he?

I have no idea.
I don't know who you're talking about.

And I've no idea who you are, mr soe.

But given your nerve,
you can't be just anybody.

And if you're not just anybody,
you must know what Phoenix refers to.

What are these blocks for?

Is it to do with the landings?

I've no idea.

Continue.

- Who do you think you are?
- Don't play hard to get.

Call me a slut, why don't you?

Leave my friend alone
or I'll call the Germans.

Coffee, ladies?

No, thank you.

Miss, is something wrong?

A doctor! Find a doctor!

Louise fainted in the restaurant car.

Why didn't you help her?

You're joking! It's packed with Germans.

Come on, we're going back.

- That's not yours.
- It's a friend's. We're looking for her.

She's in that compartment. She fainted.

A doctor's examining her.

Your blood pressure's low.

You need to eat something.

- Are you a doctor?
- I wouldn't have examined you otherwise.

When was your last period?

Some time before the war.

It must be all these people.
I couldn't breathe.

I feel much better now.

Congratulations to the mother...

And father.

You didn't know?

- What about Louise?
- She's with a German doctor.

Shit! Where's Jeanne?

She was right behind me.

Did she have the suitcase?

Yes.

Stay here. Don't move!

Louise is with a kraut.
We're fucked. Come with me.

- Running won't win over your mum.
- Or save my dad from verdun.

Don't get preachy with me.

What's that?

"Thou shalt not kill"?

Who's getting preachy now?

All aboard! We'll soon be on our way.

Louise, it's Suzy. Open the door.

Are you ok? Do you need help?

I'm fine. Tired, that's all.

Colonel...

Look at this one!

A definite resemblance.

Eddy, I'll have to transmit your file
to your gestapo friends on rue lauriston.

Her lookalike's
under a stone somewhere, but it takes time.

Time is running out.
For you and for me.

Look where you're going!

Sorry, I was miles away.

- Are you ok? Are you hurt?
- It's nothing.

Perhaps I could buy you a drink.

Saint-lazare station, Paris

Make sure no one follows you.

Or else, tomorrow noon at concorde,
on the pont de neuilly platform.

Now, let's split up.

- May I?
- Thank you, doctor.

- This is my friend, Suzy.
- It's a pleasure to meet you.

Follow me.

The ladies are with me.

Goodbye, miss.

Officer, all the way from lisieux,
that fellow with a moustache

couldn't keep his hands to himself.

Fine, we'll have a word with him.

Go through, miss.

Please come with me.

- And our prisoner?
- Still nothing.

We've got to make him talk.

I need something to persuade rommel.

Colonel, these photos
are from the ss archives.

They're close to the woman you described.

Louise desfontaines.

That's her. I'm sure of it.

I'm late. The postman overslept.

Hurry, they're waiting for you.

Your rooms will soon be ready.

We were worried. Any problems?

I got lost a few streets away.

- Gaélle isn't here?
- Not yet. I left her at the checkpoint.

- Why are you all dressed up?
- I wish I knew.

But apparently it's top secret.

- I'm taking her out.
- Promise me, no Germans.

- I promise.
- Can we talk?

Not now, we're in a hurry.

All right. In that case, Suzy stays here.

Come on, then.

This eddy guy, can we rely on him?

I made sure he'd arrange
for Suzy to meet her colonel.

Help me.

Where do you plan their reunion?

Where they fell in love.
Room 813, at the Regina.

- Who'll pull the trigger?
- Suzy.

The gun will be in the room.

Suzy kill heindrich?
Forget it, she wouldn't hurt a fly.

You'll have to convince her, then.

For the last time, where is this woman?

I don't know.

I've never seen her before.

I find that hard to believe.

Our men picked this one up
at Saint-lazare an hour ago.

Off the lisieux train.

Introductions are unnecessary.

You may be indifferent to your own pain,

but perhaps not to that of your friend.

Stop! Enough.

Where are your accomplices hiding?

And the phoenixes? What are they for?

The duroc institute for the blind.

We were to meet there
to await orders for a new mission.

Tell me what I'm supposed to do, at least.

You'll see.

Look, don't treat me like an idiot.

Let's go.

Slow down.

Walk normally.

Open the door! Hurry up!

In the Metro, I sat next to a Jerry.

His holster was open
and he hadn't even noticed.

But nothing happened.

What should have happened?

Nothing.

But it gives you ideas.

We should kill all the krauts.

We've got to go. Help me with the case.

- What about gaélle?
- We've no time.

What do you want?

You have no right!

This is an educational institution
for children!

Find the director.

Children, stand to one side.

Keep to the walls!

We've searched all over and found nothing.

Search again!

Left at the bottom. Towards the sewers.

Check the wardrobe!

Weapons! Call the colonel!

Did your brother know where we were?

He didn't give us away.

Somebody must have done.

If not him, gaélle.

If ever I run into her again...

Director...

What do you teach your pupils exactly?

Where is Louise desfontaines?

I know nobody of that name.

Your cyanide pill?

I'm scared.

You don't know what that means.

Come closer.

Come on.

Let go of her!

Recruiting women so young.

I'm disappointed in buckmaster.

I'm going to need your services again.

Your friends got away from me.

Where and when was the back-up?

The back-up?

Don't act dumb,
I know the soe's methods.

Louise knows now that I betrayed them.

She won't come to the rendezvous.

She's a woman who likes to take risks.

If I talk, what's in it for me?

Your freedom.

To be tried and sentenced by the soe?

You prefer that we torture you?

Tomorrow noon. Concorde Metro.
Pont de neuilly platform.

Champagne?

Thanks.

- Thank you.
- Fabulous!

Thanks to you, I'll be back
in the colonel's good books.

- What colonel?
- The one I'll introduce you to tomorrow.

Hold on, I'll show you.

Here, look.

Honest, you're the spitting image
of his floozy.

You're heaven-sent.

- Are you expecting someone?
- No, nobody.

Tell me what's going on.

Where'd he get this?

Ladies, what can I do for you?

Sorry to disturb you.
We're friends of Maria and Suzy's.

- Her cousin. I need to talk to Maria.
- Comeonin.

My friends' friends are my friends!
Pretty ones, especially.

It won't take a second.

It's a beautiful apartment you have.
Congratulations.

They raided the institute.

I know. We saw the Germans arriving.

You want to get me in heindrich's bed?

That's your mission?

You made a real fool of me!

You're all scum!

You, Pierre, buck and the whole soe!

The soe?
What's your cousin talking about?

I'll never see heindrich again.
I'd rather die right now.

You'll only get me in his room if I'm dead.

- Easy!
- That's my shroud!

What's got into her?
What's all that about heindrich?

We'll stay here now. Help me tie him up.

I'll warn buck about the institute.

Stop! Calm down, Suzy.

You can't force me to see him again.

- Nobody can.
- All this over a guy. And a Nazi!

I didn't sleep with a Nazi. I fell in love
with a German. It's not the same thing.

Stop! Listen...

The only thing we want
is for you to meet him.

A moment, a brief moment.

Jeanne and I will take care of the rest.

You can't let us down now. We need you.

We need you.

It'll be fine.

It'll be fine.

We were to get married
in Saint-germain-des-prés.

- He bought me a wonderful dress.
- And you got him a Nazi uniform?

He joined the Hitler youth
to get into officer training school.

Don't make excuses for him.

A Nazi or a resistance fighter,
it's the same to me.

No, it's...

It was marriage that repulsed me.

Belonging to a man.

It's as simple as that.

It doesn't matter.

You did the right thing,
if not for the right reasons.

He never knew I was pregnant.

You've got a kid?

I wouldn't be a good mother.

You got rid of it?

You gave it up?

A family in liverpool.

No more Nazi dad and collaborator mum.

For him, the slate's clean.

No answer from London?

No.

We have seven minutes
before he has to stop transmitting.

- Do you want a coffee while we wait?
- A real one?

100% black market.

Suzy's cut up about what she did.

Why? Maybe she'd have been
a terrible mother.

How can you say that?

Except dying,
nothing worse can happen to a kid.

There's always worse.

Pity isn't your strong point.

Try to be a little bit human for once.

In the train,
I found out I'm three months pregnant.

I can't be more human.

My husband and I
had been trying for kids for years.

London's come through!

And?

Buckmaster
asks you to make contact tomorrow

with a certain melchior.

Saturday 3rd June, 1944
natural history museum, Paris

The elephant has a broken tusk.

Louise?

Follow me.

The operation's planned for noon
on the platform at concorde.

Gaélle gave us away.
Why does buck want her back?

He's sure heindrich will be there.

You will execute him.

In the Metro? In public?

It's safer than the Regina.

You don't trust Suzy any more?

Only to lure him in.

For the rest, buck prefers to rely on you.

In the Metro, some of the staff will help.

They're part of our network.

To carry it. Is that ok?

What about my brother? Any news?

He's still alive.

Any hope of him escaping?

Buck doesn't want you
to endanger the operation.

I always see my missions
through to the end,

but I won't let my brother
be beheaded as a spy.

Jeanne?

You bastard,
you stole a Jewish family's place.

- I didn't steal it, it was empty.
- What a creep!

- I had connections, that's all.
- I'm going to kill him.

- Not yet, we still need him.
- Me? What for?

The allied offensive, heard of it?

A lot of hot air and no action.

Funny guy!
Soon there'll be no boches in Paris.

If I lend you a hand,
you'll tell the brits?

Start with the Germans,
end the war with the brits.

- How French can you get?
- And if I refuse?

My whole family was sent to the camps.

You know what that means?

If you refuse to help us,

it'll be my pleasure to kill you.

Ok, that's settled.

I'm your man.

On the platform,
if there's trouble, sit tight.

There's three of them.
Two with gaélle, one by the steps.

- And heindrich?
- Don't know, no sign of him.

The train will wait three minutes.
We need to know.

Yes, I haven't forgotten.

Are you ok?

I'm fine, I'm not ill.

I just wish I were in your shoes.

Excuse me, do you have a light?

Thank you.

In the office.

Office

ladies and gentlemen,

there's been an incident
at the champs-elysées station.

I'm waiting for the green light to go.

Liliane!

Louise, it's a trap! Run!

Block the exits!

Check everybody's papers!

Stop the train that just left.

Between two stations? Impossible!

Do it. Do it!

Thanks.

Too late. It's arrived at tuileries.

Check that woman's papers.

Papers!

But why?

Over there!

Take her away.

Louise, please.

Help me.

Louise. Do you forgive me?

Louise, please.

Say you forgive me.

Answer it, eddy. Hurry up!

What were you doing in the Metro?

Hello, colonel.

Answer me, eddy. Quickly.

Sorry, I have to catch my breath.
It was a close one.

I nearly caught a bullet.

Who was with you?

What do you mean?

I saw you on the platform at concorde.

Who was the woman who got on with you?

You were there?
You're not hurt, are you?

Stop playing the fool and answer me!

Actually, I was meeting
someone I think you'll like.

She looks so much like her.
Her twin sister, almost.

Where is she?

She's not with me now.

She was passing through Paris
and she leaves later today.

Are you still there?

Yes, colonel, I'm listening.

Find her and bring her to the Regina
at six o'clock this evening.

Did you hear me?
It's your last chance, eddy.

Your last chance.

We have to leave, fast.

Not until we complete the mission.

She's right. We can't back out now.

Take me to him.

Louise desfontaines,
granville's widow.

Sister of lieutenant Pierre desfontaines
of the soe,

arrested by the gestapo
last year in le mans.

How moving to see a family reunited!

Why have you tried to
kill me twice, Louise?

Why was the geologist so important to you?

What did his message mean?

As an only son,

I thought a brother and sister's love
was the strongest.

I wish I had a sister like Louise.

I'd hate to have a brother like you.

I spoke to rommel's secretary.

The field marshal
travels to ulm tomorrow.

He can see you in Berlin before he leaves.

I need something to tell him.

She can't take much more.
You can still save her.

If I talk, do I have your word she'll live?

I give you my word.

I want your word as an officer.

Stop!

I beg your forgiveness.

Speak up.

The cubes...

Will be towed by tugboats.

How can stone blocks cross the channel?

They float.

What? You mean they're hollow?

When they reach the coast,

they'll be filled with water

so they sink near the beaches.

Why?

To build a floating port
with pontoons between them.

An artificial port allows the Americans
to land anywhere in normandy.

After the failed landing in dieppe, it's...

Your last chance to invade.

Get to the Regina fast.

Call rommel. I'll take the night train
and be in Berlin early tomorrow.

Colonel, with respect...

Without proof, you won't convince him.

You should take the prisoner.

Good idea. Organise it.

Quickly!

I'll keep my promise.

Your sister's life will be spared.

Untie them and give them some water. Now.

This is lieutenant Becker of the ss.

Put me through
to field marshal rommel's office.

Yes, I'll hold.

Melchior speaking.

Delighted to see you again.

Antoine.

Room 813.

Follow me, miss.

Open your bag.

That's good, go ahead.

Is something wrong, miss?

Everything's fine, thank you.

Liliane...

For three years,
I refused to believe you were dead.

Why did you leave?

Our love was doomed.

Give us another chance.

Come with me.
I'm leaving for Germany tonight.

Did buckmaster send you?

You're one of his agents?

Don't let them Sully
the beauty of what we had.

Quickly! Upstairs!

Hold on.

How did it go”? Where's Suzy?

I don't know. Hold on.

- Give me your gun.
- What for?

The mission's to kill him.

You're mad. Not here!

Who's this?

A friend of Louise's.

Buckmaster sent me.

Drive!

You should never...

Have used her!

You will be transferred
to la roquette prison.

I'm taking your brother to Germany with me.

It's probably the last time
you will see each other.

Take him away!

A doctor! Fast!

The only thing I can do for you

is to commute your death sentence
to deportation.

- What do you choose?
- Execution.

I'll make the arrangements.
Take him away!

Do you need help?

Hold your fire or I'll kill her!

What about gaélle?

Evening of 3rd June, 1944
soe hq, London

yes. I understand. Thank you. Goodbye.

Gare de I'est station, Paris

I'll create a diversion.
Don't worry about me.

Let me through.
I have a document for colonel heindrich.

Go ahead.

Colonel heindrich!

I've just spoken to Churchill.

He insists on congratulating
you and Jeanne personally.

For that, Jeanne must be here.

I rely on you to bring
her home, personally.

August 1944

April1945
military hospital, London

Can I have a word?

Come in my office.

These photos were taken by the Russians

after the liberation of ravensbriick.

If, by any chance, you recognise
Jeanne among these women...

I'd like to be alone.

and married an architect.

She was awarded the Croix de guerre
and légion d'honneur.
