(branch cracks, German hears it)

(several footsteps heard approaching)

No sign of him. We'll wait here.

What if Dupré doesn't show up. We washed out?

No. We've got to get the dope to Lambrelle today.

Well if this guy Lambrelle is so well known, why don't we find him ourselves.

All we know is he's somewhere around Rougemont. That's a lot of ground.

Saunders.

Take a look up the hill. Kirby, go with him.

Gentlemen

I'm Andre Dupré.

My identification papers, Lieutenant.

Alright, Mister Dupré.

I'm Lieutenant Hanley. This is Sergeant Saunders.

Sergeant.

Lambrelle is anxiously awaiting to meet you Lieutenant. You have a long walk ahead of you.

A long walk?

We thought Rougemont was close by.

We are not going to Rougemont.

Lambrelle is waiting in Versaunt.

The Boche, they forced us to change our plans.

Versaunt?

Yes Lieutenant.

Versaunt has become, what you Americans say uh, too warm for Lambrelle.

Uh, too hot.

Too hot.

Merci.

Well.

Let's get going.

Aired Feb 9, 1965

End of the line.

Your American planes bombed it yesterday.

Alright, we go around it.

Hold it Lieutenant.

What is it?

I'm not sure.

Looks like a uniform of some kind. Prison.

Convict's clothes.

Is there a prison around here?

Yes, at the uh, Cortraun.

About 6 kilometers north.

Cortraun is right here. It's not too far.

Yeah, German territory.

Well, if there'd been a prison break they'd sure think krauts are out looking for 'em.

Alright, Let's go.

(Bang.)

(Bang)

(Bang)

(Bang)

(Bang)

Some old coot in his underwear.

Alright. Spread out and move up.

(Bang)

(Bang)

Ohh!

Oh, Bonjours, bonjours. It is America.

J'ai ne savais pas. Over the night, Je ne pouvais pas dormir un clin d'oei. Oh, mon dieux.

Je ne savais pas. J'ai fait une erreur.

Sarge. Lieutenant Hanley's hit.

Cover him.

Who is it?

An old train-man with a pistol.

-How is it? -I'm alright.

Better check it out.

Kirby.

Let me help you Lieutenant.

Je nas etes pas qu'il a merdi teche et pour moi.

Est oest de forest travi ove est le fox is a meri kesh.

Oh me oh my.

-Is he alone? -It looks like it.

Kirby. Check it out.

Says he made a mistake.

(French)

(French)

Ecouter. Les similar en continue histroniques. Ecouter. Ferme là, huh.

-Je pensais que vous étiez des évadés. -C'est fait. En c'est lont.

Said he made a mistake.

He didn't see we were Americans. He thought we were convicts coming back.

What's he got to do with the convicts?

Well, he says 5 of them jumped him about a mile up. They wanted to use the train for a getaway.

What happened to the rest of his crew?

Well he says there was only one Fireman. They took his clothes and threw him off.

The train came up here and ran out of track.

He was gonna back up when he saw us.

Ask him about Cortraun. Ask him if it was a big break.

(French)

(French)

(French)

(French)

(French)

He says the only thing he knows is what he heard.

A shell hit the prison. A lot of guys got away.

The guys that took his clothes were trying to make it to Avignon

and from there take a train to Switzerland.

-Avignon? -Yeah that's right. Avignon.

Does it mean anything?

Let's see Hanley.

All clear Sarge.

Huh. What are you gonna do with old Casey Jones here?

We'll let him go. No, wait a minute .

Let's see how Hanley is first.

(French)

(French)

-Too tight Lieutenant? -Oh that's fine. Thanks.

-How you doing Lieutenant? -Oh I'm doing just fine.

Mr. Dupré certainly knows his first aid.

What was that all about?

How the old timer had his train hijacked by some convicts.

They took his clothes. When they ran out of track they jumped off here.

When he saw us coming he thought it was more convicts and he opened up with his L pistol.

Lieutenant can I see your map.

My map? Sure.

What is it?

Well the old timer says the convicts were headed for a rail terminal here at Avignon.

That's just what I thought.

We're headed for Versaunt. It's just on the outskirts.

So what's that mean?

Means we gotta keep our eyes open.

Where convicts have escaped somebody's out looking for 'em.

We better get moving.

Umph!

I don't think you're going anywhere Lieutenant.

Except with the old guy.

Let me talk to Saunders alone.

Alright, open the map all the way.

These 5 objectives, 3 bridges, a tunnel, and a dam.

The Maquis has to blow them all up in 48 hours.

That's the information we have to give Lambrelle today.

Now he'll tell you where he wants the supplies he needs air dropped.

We have to have that information by 0100 tomorrow.

Right Lieutenant.

The train will take you across to our lines.

Alright. Just get going and uh, take care of yourself huh.

Caje, Kirby.

Give the Lieutenant a hand to the train.

Now remember,

In and out by 0100 tomorrow.

If not sooner.

Which way from here?

This way about 4 or 5 kilometers through the woods.

Then we come to this river that leads to Versaunt.

Outside the village is a factory. It was bombed.

It is there we will meet Lambrelle.

(French)

(French)

(French)

This prison at Cortraun. Is it maximum security, hardened criminals.

Hardened criminals.

Desperate men.

Why do you ask?

I guess there will be a big search huh.

Of course.

-Okay. Let's go. -Hey Saunders.

I was just thinking, uh. Maybe we should find a different route to Versaunt.

Longer, but safer.

There might be Germans ahead, searching.

How do you expect to get through, without being noticed.

Oh, we've done it before. Haven't you and the Maquis?

Many times.

This way Sergeant.

You better watch your neck Dupres. It's getting sunburned.

A little bit.

Life indoors makes a man soft.

Indoors? Huh.

I thought most of you resistance guys spent your time in the hills.

We do.

Until we are wounded.

I have a bullet in the shoulder.

A present from the Boches.

This is my first day back.

It's quite an assignment they gave you for a man just out of bed.

I am not important.

It is the cause for which we fight that is important.

You sure express yourself good Mr. Dupré.

Where'd you learn to speak English?

From the best teacher.

My wife.

She was English.

I have a son. Fine boy, just like his mother.

It is for his sake that I have deep gratitude for you Americans.

Because you fight for us he will grow up to be a

a free man.

Instead of a slave.

What you do for us now

France will never forget.

Okay, let's go huh.

(A motor vehicle approaches)

Now you see them changing directions.

Spot anybody crossing that meadow for a couple of miles.

Must be setting up a lookout for the escaped convicts.

Maybe.

Well we can't fire at him. It'd bring all the rest of them down on us.

20 yards.

Can't even crawl up to him. He'd hear us.

Hey Sergeant.

I'm very good.

It's 20 yards.

Expert.

Ungh.

Hide the body.

How was that Sergeant?

I'd say your shoulder's all better.

Convicts.

(Bang, bang)

Why'd you fire.

I am, Sorry. I did not think.

I saw those two escaped convicts.

Enemies of France.

Back there you killed a kraut with a knife because we couldn't get any closer

but here even deeper into enemy territory you opened up.

I, I'm sorry. I I did not think.

Stupid of me.

I go and inform Lambrelle that you are coming.

I don't understand Sergeant.

Because I'm overcome by my emotions.

am I to be humiliated.

I may be wrong but I don't think a member of the French underground would do what you just did on emotion.

You would've been dead a long time ago.

Are you suggesting that I intended to shoot those convicts?

Why would I do a thing like that.

Because they might recognize you.

What's what Sarge.

A fellow convict.

He can't be.

Why? Because he has papers?

We're supposed to meet Lambrelle at Rougemont. He tells us we have to go to Versaunt.

That's the same direction these convicts are headed.

That's a coincidence.

You could have killed Dupré. Taken his papers before we got there.

Caje. Check this out.

When were you born?

Look.

Everyone in the underground has different identifications.

Sometimes I am uh, Dupré.

A lot of times I am somebody else.

Barole, Gilbert, Jean Roue.

A man cannot remember every detail.

Well details stick with me, even little ones.

Like how a man's been in prison for a long time might be sunburned his first day out.

How a hike like this might be tough on him.

I was wounded.

I know. You told us, in your shoulder

that didn't bother you when you threw the knife.

There's not a mark on him. Come on. Tie him up.

He told us that we should find Lambrelle about half a kilometer between here and the factory.

I doubt it but check it out anyway.

Probably find more convicts. If you do, don't mix with them.

Let's go.

Look, I don't care who you are or where you're trying to go. Just tell me one thing.

Did you make up everything about Lambrelle and Versaunt?

Everything I told you is the truth.

-Papa. -Pierre.

Mon fils.

Papa.

I am sorry I had to hit you when I can.

Who are you?

Pierre Boulanger.

He is my father.

Unh.

Don't move monsieur. I know how to use this.

I do not wish to harm you.

I'm only here to help my father. We want to join the underground.

Pierre. Untie me. Do itr. Hurry up.

I knew you would come to our portage, Papa.

Ah I miss you boy.

Oomph.

Stay back.

Your father isn't trying to join the underground. He wants to get to Switzerland.

to save himself.

I must accept your insult.

Because I am ashamed my father was in prison.

I am not ashamed. My father was in prison unjustly for a crime he did not commit.

They say he threw a knife at a man and killed him.

They lie.

I don't care what your father has done or hasn't done. All I care about is my mission.

You know a man by the name of Lambrelle.

Do not speak to me of Lambrelle.

Whatever he told you was a lie.

Lambrelle is supposed to be a friend to my father,

to my family.

He is not.

He would not help my father escape, so that we could join in the underground.

He is interested only in himself, Not in justice.

All I know is that I was supposed to meet a man by the name of Dupré.

Instead I found your father wearing his clothes and carrying his papers.

Dupré's dead.

He was killed by a Boche.

I killed the Boches.

I took Dupré's clothes and papers.

Because when I overheard the Sergeant talking to his squad

I knew they would serve as an escort for me.

It was the safest way for me to go to Versaunt.

You see. That explains everything.

I'm sure my father would never kill a man other than the enemy.

That's right Sergeant.

Now will you let us go?

My son and I have to go to another region and join the underground.

No. I want you to take me to Lambrelle.

Lambrelle won't see me. He want kill me.

He will if I ask him to.

Then we'll go to him.

Where is he?

A mine. At Versaunt.

He's tricking you son.

He only wants to know where we can find Lambrelle.

I'm not tricking you.

I go for my reasons, you go for yours.

We will do it.

Nuthin' Sarge. We couldn't even find the factory.

-Right -Who is he?

His son.

Let's go.

This is the mine.

It looks deserted.

Halt.

Le mot de passe.

The password.

Moonlight.

Clair de lune.

Allez pas. Le Boche, Ne pas aller. Le Boche. Tu dois parler doucement.

He said to keep our voice low. The krauts are all over the place.

Ask him if Lambrelle is here.

Nom Lambrelle. Est Il ici?

Oui. Entrez.

Il vous attend.

Says he's inside waiting for us.

Alright. You and Kirby, you stand watch up here.

You come late.

Where's Dupré?

He's dead.

Had a little trouble getting here.

It's a day's walk Saunders.

We had a skirmish with the Boches this morning.

I lost one good man.

A prisoner.

Pierre.

Boulanger.

I heard about your escape.

Why'd you bring them here?

We have come to join you monsieur.

-My father... -I asked, wait a minute huh.

They're here because it's the only way I had of getting to you.

Let's get to this mission huh.

Of course. State your business Sergeant.

We have 5 objectives.

Here.

Here, here, here and here.

Are they possible?

All, but one.

We destroyed a tunnel this morning.

Good.

Now when and where do you want this equipment dropped.

Before dawn, tomorrow morning.

Alright. Before dawn. Good.

Now to get here, I promised this boy that you'd hear him out.

Tell him Papa. He was sent to prison for a crime he did not commit.

I am not a judge Pierre.

Your father's case was decided by the courts.

The court was wrong.

Papa. Tell him. The Sergeant promised Mr. Lambrelle would listen.

I have no time to speak to your father now.

Sergeant.

You promised Mr. Lambrelle would listen.

The boy wants to know the truth about his father.

Son.

You will hear nothing but lies.

Now that he has escaped

I think you should know.

Pierre.

I have known your family

for a long time.

I remember your mother.

When you were just a small child.

How sad she always was.

Do you remember that?

Do you remember why?

Oui.

Papa was away on business so much.

It was necessary for him to take long trips.

He was a salesman.

Your father was not a salesman.

His was a cut-throat business of the Massacau waterfront.

He was arrested many times, for many crimes.

He served two prison sentences, before the last crime, which put him in Cortraun for life.

Your mother,

did not have the heart to tell you.

I must.

I'm sorry.

Your father

is an enemy of France.

If you shoot you attract the Boches.

Shoot and this man dies.

The decision is yours son.

I have nothing to offer you.

Nothing.

As in the book we read when you were a child.

I'm like the old stag at bay, with the hounds ready to tear out his throat.

Boy.

All I want is for one person in the world to believe that I'm innocent.

You.

My son.

Don't go with him Pierre.

I go with you Papa.

Mod,

Wait in white car for me.

Pierre wait. I made you a promise and I kept it. I'll make you another.

Don't listen to him son.

Right now it's your father's word against Lambrelle's.

And you would take Lambrelle's.

If you want the truth, it'll be in the official court records.

I'll ask my commanding officer to get them.

He's lying.

Come on, boy.

Here you have a chance to prove out your father's story once and for all.

Take it.

Perhaps the Sergeant is right.

You could clear your name.

Name means nothing.

I want freedom.

You will have your freedom.

And your honor.

Honor's a beautiful word boy.

But it means nothing.

I want to live in the fresh air.

I want to love.

To drink

To laugh.

That is freedom.

Go on.

The Sergeant was right.

From the beginning, you intended to go to Switzerland.

To run.

You are guilty.

Sergeant.

Do as I say or this man dies.

Call your men inside.

Caje, Kirby.

Come on inside and bring Lambrelle's men with you.

Alright. Get away from the door and let 'em through.

Papa, please.

Boy,

You have made your choice.

Now I must do what is best for me.

Goodbye son.

-You alright?/N/N-Yes.

Sarge. Krauts. Half track.

Come on. Take cover.

(German)

(German)

Lambrelle.

Lambrelle.

Ecouter moi Lambrelle.

Lambrelle. C'est ton appel.

Rendez-vous et cela vous sera plus facile.

Ha ha ha.

He wants me to surrender. Says it will be easier for me to.

(French)Tagel. Express des sola

Open up.

Here.

Make em come out.

(German)

Sarge. I'm running out of ammo.

Use only enough to pin 'em down. Try to get that machine gunner.

Unh.

Unh.

Sarge.

(German)

Unh. Unh. Unh.

Where. Where's my boy.

I am here Papa.

Son.

Everything

Everything you heard about me

is true.

-Every word. -No Papa. No.

We couldn't have made it without you.

It's strange.

Strange way for a

for a criminal to die.

Such a

But not a strange way for

for a father to die.

Unh, uh.

Alright. Let's go.

-Good luck monsieur. -And to you.

We'll be ready for the drop.

Pierre.

You can come back with us.

No monsieur.

You want Pierre here with us.
