NETFLIX PRESENTS

Come on, one more step. We're almost there.

- Are there more? - Yes! Come on, hang in there!

He's over there. Follow me.

- Get the gauze. - You give him morphine?

- Ten milligrams. - All right. Let's go.

- But it's not working. - Come on, let's go!

- Your wife is here. - With me! One, two, three!

I'll leave you to it.

Who are you?

My name is Suzanne Faure.

Are you the abortionist Jeanne was supposed to take to Switzerland?

Where is Jeanne?

She passed on.

We ran into Germans. I'm so sorry.

You're pretending to be her.

I had no other choice.

EPISODE 4

Don't touch.

You have a serious head injury.

What happened?

I was shot down by the Germans midair.

I'm sorry, Mr. Charrier.

Some bullet fragments are lodged in your skull.

I can't operate, it's too dangerous.

Am I gonna die?

It's not life-threatening as long as the fragments don't move around in your skull.

I'll check on you tomorrow.

I'll ask the sisters to find you a place to stay.

Both of you.

If the pain worsens, give him some morphine.

You can close.

Jeanne Charrier isn't my wife.

I need you to keep pretending to be her.

But don't ask questions

or I'll turn you in and it's the gallows.

Got it?

Where is she buried?

- Give me a hand. - Mmm-mmm.

Shine a light for me!

Take the fucking flashlight!

What are you doing?

- Let's go. - Are you a spy?

Jeanne too?

I took the identity of a spy?

Keep on doing what I ask you to do or you're no good to me.

Stay calm. We'll take care of you.

Breathe...

I'm going to wash your arm.

Don't move, please.

Don't touch me.

Present arms!

Lay down arms!

Condolences, General.

My condolences, General. Major.

It was the lieutenant's guitar.

The men would like him to have it.

This guitar doesn't belong in the grave of a Saint-Cyrian.

I gave him this guitar.

Do as you see fit.

I heard you were with him until the end.

Yes.

In the next offensive, Léon, Jules, all the others,

we'll avenge them.

Please be careful.

General Duvernet is downstairs looking for you.

A general doesn't hang out with whores. What's he doing here?

- Are you sleeping with him? - Why, are you jealous?

You wanted to see me?

Thank you for your presence this morning.

I was wondering, as, uh...

you were with my son in his last moments, did...

did he have any last words?

No.

I'm sorry.

Thank you for being there for him.

Goodbye, madam.

Goodbye.

You can leave, Clarence. I'm done.

How are you feeling?

Like a grieving brother.

You should have told me you were married.

I'm not that kind of man.

Major, the general is requesting you.

You can still count on me at the hospital.

Very well. The matter is closed.

The Germans took one of my sons. I won't let them have France.

The lake is located near a col.

A strategic point on which the Germans could settle,

and above all, allow their artillery to reach Saint-Paulin.

And nothing could stop them from advancing towards Paris.

We shouldn't give them the opportunity to move in their heavy artillery.

With more men, we could consider organizing an offensive, but right now...

Don't you think I know? I demand it every day from Joffre!

But I'm not the only one!

We will launch an offensive the day after tomorrow and reclaim the lake!

Yes, General, sir.

You wanted to see me?

I'd like you to do a health inspection at the, uh...

at the, uh, hotel.

The brothel?

I can't stop my men from going there, but...

if they could at least avoid diseases...

It will be done.

Joseph?

If...

If I didn't put the guitar in the grave with your brother, it's...

it's because...

it's all I have left of him.

We'll get them, I promise you.

For Léon.

You have six confirmed cases of syphilis.

Do you know what that means?

Ladies.

It's a very contagious disease, so those who have it need to stop working.

But, uh, we feel fine. We're not sick.

You're in the incubation period. The disease is asleep.

And even though it can go on for a while,

syphilis can still be there.

I'm sorry.

Ladies.

Well...

Those who have it, get out, now.

And where do you want us to go? You think my parents will take me back?

Not my problem. You have until tomorrow.

You're disgusting!

Marcel! I'm not leaving, am I?

I hope for your sake you didn't give me that crap.

Now get the fuck out. Like the others.

Well, they've left her in a state.

- It saved lives. - The war has turned into a slaughter.

Have you heard? In the Marne, we lost 100,000 men last week alone.

And they don't have enough vehicles to carry the wounded.

It's a nightmare.

So, anyway,

you're telling me now that with our next run of line,

we can already produce the shell.

Is that right?

Yes, but for the explosive part, like the fuses or the detonators,

you'll have to invest in new machines.

Yes, we'll make the necessary investments.

Very well, then.

Goodbye, ma'am!

I'll be right back, sweetheart.

The Dewitts don't know anything about my old life.

- You can't just barge in. - I need to ask you for a favor, okay?

The girls need a job right away.

How so?

We had a health inspection and...

six of them have syphilis, so they can't work anymore.

And since your men are currently on the front lines,

I thought maybe you could hire them, couldn't you?

What about you?

No, I'm fine. I'm clear.

So, um, what do you say?

I've already hired the workers' wives. I'm sorry.

The factory is being converted into a munitions plant by my brother-in-law.

I don't have much power here anymore.

For now.

Check this out.

Hello, Madeleine.

Morning, ma'am.

Look.

I want to turn my trucks into ambulances.

I just have to convince the army

that my project is better than my brother-in-law's.

I might be able to help.

We need these vehicles, General.

Too many soldiers are dying on the front lines for lack of transportation.

How many trucks do you have?

Available? Seven.

That would be 28 wounded per half-hour convoy.

As you can see, that's a rotation of ten or twenty convoys.

What about the drivers?

General, there are a number of girls in the brothel

who can no longer work since the health inspection.

Behind a wheel, they wouldn't infect anyone.

- Who's going to pay them? - I will.

If you order my trucks.

- Can they all drive a truck? - Yes.

Could you be operational the day after tomorrow?

We could, General.

You'll be in good hands while I'm gone.

My wife knows all the files, clients, and procedures.

And she knows every one of you.

She has my complete trust.

The Dewitt factories will continue to make trucks.

I approached General Duvernet about converting our vehicles into ambulances.

He has agreed.

That's completely stupid!

What's going to happen once she's dumped her trucks?

If the first ambulances are a success, we will be given a larger order.

And the bank will definitely be pleased.

This is fantastic news that we weren't expecting...

No, not at all, Mother.

- It's just delaying the inevitable. - Why?

Wait a minute.

I'm bending over backwards to try and save this family from ruin.

- And this is how you thank me? - Come on, Charles!

Because she managed to trick General Duvernet?

Uh, you forget that to place an order,

you need the agreement of the Ministry of War,

and that, Caroline...

You'll never get it.

So now listen very carefully. Just know your place, understood?

And above all, you're going to stop being disloyal!

Charles, that's enough!

If we can keep the factory as it is, that's fine!

And if we can keep selling, selling trucks, that's also a good thing!

Let's have supper.

Yes, Officer. Yes, speaking.

Yes, I know I'm expected at the barracks.

No, what... What I'm asking is just... just two days.

By then you'll have confirmation of the state order.

Yes, that's right.

No, I mean, there's no problem. Yes, absolutely.

No, I understand.

Yes.

Okay, sir.

That's very kind. Thank you, sir.

Thank you. Goodbye.

Eugene! Eugene!

What are you doing here?

Come on. Come, let's go.

Go lie down.

Eugene. Eugene, you need to lie down.

The man we found at the farm is German.

What do you intend to do?

I have no choice.

I have to tell the medical officer.

Suzanne!

Suzanne Faure.

That's the name of an abortionist wanted by the police.

There is no Jeanne Charrier at the Salpêtrière.

Forget what you heard...

and I will forget what I know about you.

May we?

Go ahead.

Mr. Charrier? What's wrong?

I can't see anything...

Ah!

Mr. Charrier?

Stretcher!

Take this.

You all right?

The bullet fragments are pressing on your brain and causing vision issues.

You're no longer fit to fly.

I'll ask for your discharge.

Out of the question.

The war is over for you.

I'm sorry.

- Like so, see? - Okay.

- Morning, sweetheart. Did you sleep well? - Yes!

- Is it true you worked all night? - Mmm-hmm.

We're almost finished. Come, I'll show you.

- Hello, Denise. - Hello, Madeleine.

Your ambulances are amazing, Mother!

Thank you, sweetheart.

- Can I go inside? - Of course you can!

Thank you, Mrs. Dewitt.

I couldn't bring myself to produce ammunition.

Your husband will be proud of you.

Thank you, Jean.

Girls, let me introduce you. Mrs. Dewitt.

- Caroline. - Florence.

- Alice. - Odile.

Irene.

- Catherine. - Juliette.

Welcome to the team.

We need seven drivers.

Well, I'm the seventh.

And your other activity?

As long as I'm there in the evening...

Oh, the trucks look amazing. It's great.

You'll see it's not much different from a small vehicle. There are three pedals.

This one to brake,

this one to accelerate.

The third pedal is the clutch, okay? And this big stick here is the gearshift.

- So you grab it and... - We know how to do that, right, girls?

Thank you, Marguerite, for finding us this job.

Thank you for accepting. It's not without risk.

We risk our lives and get paid peanuts.

Is this our new life?

We don't even know where we're sleeping tonight.

If it's just for tonight, you can sleep in the factory.

Hmm? You ready?

Who wants to begin?

Well, Juliette...

Go ahead and try.

You'll see, it's real easy.

Ready?

Bravo!

They're doing well.

Yeah.

Why did you come to Saint-Paulin, Marguerite?

To find my son again.

I saw him again for the first time a few days ago.

He came to the brothel.

- Does he know who you are? - No.

I found his address four years ago.

If it wasn't for the war...

I don't think I would have had the courage to go and meet him.

I would have messed up his life.

You were too young, Marguerite. You were alone.

You did it for him.

I'd just like to meet him, to...

talk to him a little.

But I don't intend to tell him who I am, I...

I don't want to mess things up.

He's already risking his life every day on the battlefront.

Don't get too attached, Marguerite.

- What time is the offensive? - At 1400 hours sharp, General.

We'll send three battalions in by road.

They'll be supported by 75mm guns and short-barrelled Howitzers.

The objective is to get the Germans to focus their defenses

at this point of contact.

And then another battalion will advance through the mountain and flank them.

They'll have to make contact by 1500 hours.

Ladies, the convoy will be split in two.

The four lead vehicles will leave with me.

The other three will be led by Sergeant Bouchard.

Upon arrival, you'll have to be quick.

A team of stretcher-bearers will assist you.

Load and unload the ambulances as quickly as possible and leave immediately.

The greater your speed, the more likely the men you bring back are to survive.

The battle is going to be tough. Stay strong.

Ladies, it's time. Good luck.

Jeanne!

I'll be right there.

You're coming with me.

There's going to be an offensive, I'll be needed here.

Well, I need you too.

Come here, we'll lift it.

It's suicide.

You're in no condition to fly. You might pass out and crash.

You're right, it's too dangerous.

I need a copilot.

I, uh... I'm not getting in.

I think you are.

Put that on.

Wait here.

Gentlemen, it's time!

On my command...

forward!

Forward!

- Forward! - Come on! Let's go!

Let's go!

Let's go! Come on, men! Let's go!

Let's do this!

For France! Forward!

For France!

Come on, guys! Let's go! Forward!

Blast away that fucking machine gun!

- Let's go! - Grenade!

Let's go! Forward!

Let's go, men! Come on!

Stay here!

Take cover!

One, two, three!

Let's go! Faster, Odile, faster!

There! We're here! Juliette!

Juliette, come and give me a hand!

- Wait, wait, wait! - We're full! It's full!

All the ambulances are full! We have to leave now!

- What about this one? - Leave him there! You'll come back!

- No, wait, up front! - Go ahead, ma'am!

I'll help him! Go ahead! Go!

- Hurry up! Hurry! - Help me!

Let's go!

- One, two, three. - Let's go, everyone!

Okay!

Come on! Come on, hang on!

Hang on!

Merci.

The offensive was a success, General.

We suffered heavy losses, but we kept the hill.

And the ambulance service worked very well.

Very good. Thank you, Passembec. You may leave for now.

Thank you, General.

Hurry up! Hurry up! Get moving!

The wounded are arriving! The wounded are arriving!

This one is critical!

I have to get back there.

I have to find him.

Mrs. Dewitt, your husband died for the country three days ago.

The Germans bombed the camp where he was located.

We've only just learned about it.

My condolences, madam.

Your husband would have been proud of you.

Move it! Come on!

Sorry.

It's fine.

Nothing happens to me when you're around.

I guess you're my lucky charm.

Thank you.

You should leave. The area isn't secure yet.

Take care of yourself, will you?

You know, falling in love with a whore isn't a good idea.

Calm down. If you stay calm, nothing will happen to you.

Sorry, but this is old news.

The French plans have already changed.

Our services have warned us

that your army is preparing a major attack.

Your president Poincaré is even travelling to Saint-Paulin to organize the offensive.

Make sure you learn everything.

As soon as you have information, call me.

And don't fuck up, or...

you'll never see her again.

Hmm?

You're spying for the Germans?

We leave at dawn tomorrow.

You are a monster.

Agnès?

What are you doing here?

I wanted to thank you for earlier.

I don't want you to get in trouble because of me.

Then don't stay here.

Go back with the others.
