00:01:30May the 27th, 1940.
00:01:34Five battered machines were all that remained of the fighter squadrons of the Belgian Air Force.
00:01:39Hopelessly outnumbered in the air and forced back further and further towards the west,
00:01:44by this time they were operating from a farm near the Flanders coast.
00:01:51Reports of the fighting were confused and no one knew exactly how near the enemy really were.
00:01:58♪♪♪
00:02:18Turn that off somebody.
00:02:27Gentlemen, I'm afraid we have some bad news.
00:02:32The position is extremely grave.
00:02:35In a few hours the enemy may be here, so we haven't much time.
00:02:39Van Mechelen, you'll mount guards and be ready to destroy all equipment in the event of a surprise attack.
00:02:44Very good, sir.
00:02:45Ledoux.
00:02:46Sir?
00:02:47You'll be responsible for seeing that all papers, except those in B and C files, are destroyed.
00:02:53Before I explain the position to the men, there's something else.
00:02:58It's about our colors.
00:03:00If we are forced to capitulate, the Germans will demand that all regimental standards be surrendered to them.
00:03:06As you know, there are some names on ours.
00:03:09Pretty good names.
00:03:10In the last few weeks there have been others which ought to stand beside them.
00:03:15But they never will.
00:03:18I suppose I'm the only one here who was present when we first received our colors.
00:03:24They were given to us by the late King Albert.
00:03:27There is, of course, no question of handing them over, and the high command of order is that they shall be destroyed.
00:03:36Gentlemen, I've always carried out orders without question, and I shall do so now.
00:03:43That's all I have to say.
00:03:45Those of you having no other duties will please parade in half an hour.
00:04:16About a hundred meters out it shelves away steeply. Make sure you're beyond that.
00:04:20Yes, sir.
00:04:31Officers and men of the Air Force, in a few moments we shall salute our flag for the last time.
00:04:37Some of you may wonder why we don't try to fly it to say thank you.
00:04:42Some of you may wonder why we don't try to fly it to safety.
00:04:46But we can't risk it getting into enemy hands.
00:04:49Rather than that, we give it an honorable grave.
00:04:53Tonight, in this tragic hour of Belgium's history, we pledge ourselves to carry on the fight whenever and wherever it may be possible to do so.
00:05:12Trumpet up!
00:05:42That you, Fernand?
00:05:58You didn't come with us?
00:05:59No.
00:06:00You think it of no importance that we bury our flag?
00:06:03Of course it is.
00:06:04Well, we parade for orders at 4.30 in the morning.
00:06:07I know.
00:06:08Maybe you're planning to miss that too.
00:06:10You've no reason to think that?
00:06:11No.
00:06:12I should have thought a man who thinks less of his flag than of a tawdry little fowl.
00:06:15That's a disgusting thing to say.
00:06:16All right.
00:06:17Somebody's got to stay behind anyway.
00:06:19Well, I haven't said anything about staying behind, have I?
00:06:20I'm saying it for you.
00:06:22We've got eleven effective pilots and five kites.
00:06:26So what'll happen?
00:06:27Well, those who've got planes will go on fighting with the French.
00:06:29And the rest?
00:06:31Will surrender with the army.
00:06:33I see.
00:06:37Have I got one?
00:06:39Yes.
00:06:40You've got Lesage.
00:06:42He's staying with the men.
00:06:47And you?
00:06:49I'm lucky too.
00:07:09It's getting light already.
00:07:12Nearly time for you to go.
00:07:17I want to cry, but there are no tears left.
00:07:21There's an ache now.
00:07:23In my throat.
00:07:25My chest.
00:07:27The back of my head.
00:07:29My arms.
00:07:31My legs.
00:07:33My arms.
00:07:35My legs.
00:07:37The back of my head.
00:07:40But you're going to believe, aren't you?
00:07:42In dreams?
00:07:43No, in me.
00:07:44That I shall come back.
00:07:46Things that are happening are so horrible, Fanon.
00:07:49Only the dreams seem real.
00:07:51I keep feeling it's only true for the rest of the world, not for me.
00:07:55I tell myself nothing can stop us being together.
00:07:59But I know in my heart...
00:08:02we shall never see each other again.
00:08:04But you must stop thinking like that.
00:08:07I shall find some way to come back to you, I promise you.
00:08:10Darling, you'll be flying.
00:08:12Don't you think about that?
00:08:14Often.
00:08:16I'll weigh up my chances as we all do.
00:08:19At the moment...
00:08:21I'd put them at about 20 to 1 against.
00:08:24Aren't you afraid of death?
00:08:28No.
00:08:30I shall come through all right.
00:08:32If I have a son, I shall call him Fanon.
00:08:36You still don't believe me, do you?
00:08:38It may be one of those dreams, like mine.
00:08:40No.
00:08:42Most of us have premonitions of when we owe the other.
00:08:46It's uncanny how often they're right.
00:08:48Is that true? Is it really true?
00:08:51Yes.
00:08:55Being away from...
00:08:57it'll be the worst part.
00:09:00You shall always be wondering.
00:09:03My mother was here last time they came.
00:09:06When they left after four years...
00:09:09she was still here.
00:09:12Four years.
00:09:15Every morning when I wake up...
00:09:18and every night when I go to bed...
00:09:20I shall say, Fanon will come.
00:09:24Fanon will come.
00:09:26Oh, my darling, it will, won't you?
00:09:30Yes.
00:09:44I'm afraid that's goodbye.
00:09:47Come on.
00:10:01I'll hug you.
00:10:25Fanon, you'd better forget it.
00:10:28Forget what?
00:10:31Do you realize how things are going?
00:10:33The canal hasn't stopped them, nothing stops them.
00:10:35Well?
00:10:36Well, as I say, you'd better forget it.
00:10:38I don't know what you're talking about.
00:10:39Oh, yes, you do. That girl's in love with you.
00:10:40And I with her.
00:10:41Yes, I was afraid of that.
00:10:42Why?
00:10:43Why? Because it's impossible.
00:10:44Surely that's my worry, isn't it?
00:10:46Fanon, don't be a fool.
00:10:47Tomorrow night she may be one side of the line and you the other.
00:10:50Jean, you must understand, it's not like that.
00:10:52Nonsense, you've only been here a few days.
00:10:54Oh, what's time got to do with it? I tell you, that's how it is.
00:10:59Oh, you go on, I'll be over later.
00:11:02Well, just as you like.
00:11:10After the breakthrough at Cotre, the Panzer Division swung north towards the coast.
00:11:15We've just learned that they reached it yesterday afternoon.
00:11:18Somewhere about here.
00:11:21That means, of course, that we are completely cut off.
00:11:24Our armies, after covering the withdrawal, now stand along this narrow strip.
00:11:29It is packed with refugees, making any movement impossible.
00:11:33They have no more reserves.
00:11:35They can get no more supplies.
00:11:37At their backs they have the sea.
00:11:42The King has therefore asked that hostilities should cease.
00:11:46No other course is possible.
00:11:48There will doubtless be criticism, procrimination, but you have no cause to be ashamed.
00:11:53All that human determination can do has been done.
00:11:57And it is your duty to make this understood where you're going.
00:12:00Is that clear?
00:12:01Yes, sir.
00:12:02Very well. We don't yet know the exact area occupied by the enemy between us and the French,
00:12:05but you'll cross it at ten mile intervals and get what photographs you can if you stand concentration.
00:12:09Duclos.
00:12:10Sir.
00:12:11You'll lead the squadron. Make for the outgrowm near Beauvais.
00:12:13I hope it's still ours. Make sure before you land.
00:12:16Those of us who stay will destroy what we can before the enemy arrives.
00:12:19I think that's all.
00:12:21Does anyone have any questions?
00:12:23Very well. Get going as quick as you can and good luck to you.
00:12:30Jump, Zoe! Get those planes off the ground!
00:12:52Get in line!
00:12:53No, you go!
00:12:54Get in line, I tell you!
00:13:00Hey, give me a hand!
00:13:11Hey! Stop that little fool!
00:13:21Get her back under cover!
00:13:37Get her back under cover!
00:13:40Stay on top!
00:13:51Stay on top!
00:14:21Stay on top!
00:14:22Stay on top!
00:14:23Stay on top!
00:14:24Stay on top!
00:14:25Stay on top!
00:14:49After fighting for a while with the French, the survivors came over here and joined the RAF.
00:14:53Duclos and Matagne were posted to different squadrons and for the time being lost touch with one another.
00:15:00Then one day when Duclos returned from an operational flight and went to his office...
00:15:09Well, this is wonderful!
00:15:14It's good to see you again.
00:15:16Hello, Jean.
00:15:18Well, sit down.
00:15:24Cigarette?
00:15:25No, thanks.
00:15:27Flight was telling me you had a forced landing.
00:15:29No, I came down on purpose.
00:15:31There's something I want to get off my chest.
00:15:34Fernand, before you begin, I suppose I behaved pretty badly.
00:15:39I'm sorry.
00:15:40You remember that night at the farm?
00:15:42You were mistaken.
00:15:44I expect I was.
00:15:45I'm sorry.
00:15:47Can't we leave it at that?
00:15:48No, I'm sorry.
00:15:50I'm sorry.
00:15:51Can't we leave it at that?
00:15:52No, I'm afraid we can't.
00:15:54Just because you came back and found me leaving Tracia, you assumed I'd been with her all the time.
00:15:59And hadn't you?
00:16:00No, I hadn't.
00:16:02I'd been doing a job for the old man.
00:16:05What do you mean, what job?
00:16:07Burying the flag.
00:16:11Burying the flag.
00:16:14I'm afraid I don't get it.
00:16:16I'm not joking.
00:16:17Well, I may be crazy, but I seem to remember that when we buried the flag, the one person not present was Lieutenant Martijn.
00:16:25The standard bearer.
00:16:26You only thought you were burying it.
00:16:28All that sack contained was a little sand and some of Le Sars' underwear.
00:16:32But there was a full parade, a salute was given.
00:16:34What was all that for then, if it wasn't for the flag?
00:16:36It was for the flag.
00:16:38It was held at the right time, but not at the right place, that's all.
00:16:41Why?
00:16:42Well, so that later, if anyone talked, the enemy would be put off the scent.
00:16:48And you say you buried it?
00:16:49Yes.
00:16:51In a field on the farm.
00:16:53The flag in one place and the lion in another.
00:16:56When you saw me, I'd just put the tools away.
00:16:58But why you?
00:16:59Why not von Mecklen, or one of the senior officers?
00:17:02Well, as I'd been about the farm for some time, the old man thought I'd attract less notice if I was seen.
00:17:06Well, couldn't he trust us then?
00:17:08Of course.
00:17:10He said the fewer people who knew about it, the fewer were likely to get into trouble.
00:17:14Why are you telling me all this now?
00:17:18Partly because I don't much care about being thought a rat.
00:17:23And partly because I need your help.
00:17:25In what way?
00:17:26I thought we might have a shot at getting it back.
00:17:38Hmm.
00:17:43Yes.
00:17:45That's quite an idea.
00:17:55They'd never give permission.
00:17:56Not to me.
00:17:58They'd take more notice of you.
00:18:02It certainly is an idea.
00:18:06Well, it seems I owe you a bigger apology than I thought.
00:18:11And this time I mean it.
00:18:12Forget it.
00:18:15Boy, oh boy.
00:18:17This has put new life into me.
00:18:19Let's go and have a drink and talk it over.
00:18:21If ever one needed an excuse.
00:18:26That flag won't look too good, will it, after six months in the ground?
00:18:29I think it'll be all right. It's in the shell case.
00:18:31You've certainly had the laugh on us.
00:18:33I wasn't feeling much like laughing.
00:18:35No.
00:18:37Have you heard from her?
00:18:38She was alive three months ago. That's all I know.
00:18:41It must be pretty bad for you, worrying what's happening over there.
00:18:43It's hell.
00:18:45You see,
00:18:47we were married.
00:18:50You were?
00:18:51Yes.
00:18:52The day before you arrived at the farm.
00:18:55Then we must fix it.
00:18:57But it didn't work out as they'd planned.
00:19:00The next day saw the beginning of the Battle of Britain.
00:19:03And it was not until some weeks later
00:19:05that Duclos found time to go and look up Matin.
00:19:08Yes, he was here.
00:19:10Arrived August the 5th.
00:19:12When did you last see him?
00:19:14In August, the 9th.
00:19:16Was he a particular pal of yours?
00:19:18Well, yes.
00:19:22I'm afraid you've got a bit of a shock coming to you, Duclos.
00:19:26He met it the day after you saw him.
00:19:36He's buried at Baton Rouge.
00:19:39He's buried at the Catholic Church, Harwich.
00:20:00Let me see, there was a letter.
00:20:05I think perhaps you'd better see it.
00:20:08Yes, sir.
00:20:12Oh, Adams, that letter that came the other morning
00:20:14from Lieutenant Matin.
00:20:15Yes, sir.
00:20:16Where is it?
00:20:17With his kit, sir, in the store.
00:20:18Let me have it, will you?
00:20:19Yes, sir.
00:20:21Er, just a minute.
00:20:23Perhaps you'd like to look over his things yourself.
00:20:25Oh, thank you.
00:20:27Adams, take Squadney to look over the stores, will you?
00:20:29Yes, sir.
00:20:30Well, if there's anything else I can do for you,
00:20:32you'll let me know, won't you?
00:20:33Thank you, sir.
00:20:56We'll just call in at the office when you're finished, sir.
00:20:58Thank you, Sergeant.
00:22:30Oh, not that one.
00:22:31I like it.
00:22:32But you told me the other day...
00:22:33I still like it.
00:22:34What are you doing tonight?
00:22:35Me? I'm on duty.
00:22:36Well, what about you?
00:22:37I'm dining with some people.
00:22:38Oh, OK, OK.
00:22:42George.
00:22:43Sir?
00:22:44Bring up the bag of nails and book a table for one.
00:22:46For one, sir?
00:22:47Yes, one.
00:22:48A half of two.
00:22:55Among them was the Sar, the son of our commanding officer.
00:22:59He was with his father in Gaul three months ago.
00:23:02And he says the Major is living there now as a civilian.
00:23:05Do I understand that he came to you and volunteered all this?
00:23:09Well, no, sir, not exactly.
00:23:11When I saw the name Le Sar, among those that had come over,
00:23:14I wondered if there was any connection,
00:23:16and naturally looked him up in the hope that he'd have some news of the Major.
00:23:19And you asked him a few questions, I suppose?
00:23:21Yes, sir.
00:23:22What you really mean is that you pumped it out of him.
00:23:25Well, sir...
00:23:26I hope that's what you mean,
00:23:27because if not, he's been guilty of a serious offence.
00:23:30As a matter of fact, Major Le Sar has been doing a very good job for us over there,
00:23:34and if people go about advertising the fact,
00:23:36his activities may stop rather abruptly.
00:23:39You follow me?
00:23:41Yes, sir.
00:23:42Well, I'll... I'll think it over with you, Claude.
00:23:44Thank you, sir.
00:23:45Goodbye.
00:23:46Goodbye, sir.
00:23:49Shall I keep my toothbrush ready-packed, sir?
00:23:51Why?
00:23:52Well, they say there's a shortage over there.
00:23:54Oh, very well.
00:23:55Thank you, sir.
00:24:04It's strange what magic there is in symbols, flags and so forth.
00:24:09All through history, men have shown determination to die for them.
00:24:13But few can have been more determined than that young man.
00:24:17Well, I suppose the least we can do is give him a plane and a parachute.
00:24:21And get me the Air Ministry, will you?
00:24:22Yes, sir.
00:24:23And Group Captain Bradshaw.
00:24:34Thank you, sir.
00:25:24I thought you were never coming.
00:25:26Well, it doesn't seem much of a surprise to you, sir.
00:25:30I've known you were in Belgium since four o'clock last Tuesday afternoon.
00:25:34But I only landed that morning.
00:25:36A tribute to my information service.
00:25:39Well, how are you, my dear fellow?
00:25:42Because I didn't faint, it doesn't mean I'm not damn pleased to see you.
00:25:45I'm pretty glad myself, sir.
00:25:46Sit down and make yourself at home.
00:25:47I've a hell of a lot of questions I want to ask you.
00:25:49So have I.
00:25:50We'll have to take it in turns in three-hour stretches.
00:25:53Oh, and no sirs, by the way.
00:25:54They're apt to pop out when you don't want them.
00:25:56In any case, I'm a civilian now, with command of about half a brigade.
00:26:00Yes, your son told me.
00:26:02You've seen him?
00:26:03Yes.
00:26:04He said to give you his love and to tell you that he'd begun flying.
00:26:06Flying?
00:26:07That's fine.
00:26:10Fine.
00:26:15Now tell me, what is your program?
00:26:18To get the flag.
00:26:19How did you know?
00:26:20My time. He told me before he was killed.
00:26:22You know, I rather like the idea of this.
00:26:25If it didn't involve so many people, I'd go with you.
00:26:28Well, if you can tell me exactly where it is...
00:26:30I can't.
00:26:31You mean...
00:26:32You don't know?
00:26:34I know it's somewhere near the group of elm trees at the back of a farmhouse.
00:26:38I left the exact spot to Mattine.
00:26:41Wait a bit.
00:26:42There was a girl.
00:26:43She was his wife, you know.
00:26:44Well, perhaps she can help.
00:26:46Well, if she can't, I'm sunk.
00:26:50How does one set about getting into the prohibited area?
00:26:53You can apply for a permit from Gestapo headquarters.
00:26:56Personally, I've always found it simpler to deal direct with the man who prints them.
00:27:02I think we'd better go down to the cafe and talk there.
00:27:06But it's full of officers.
00:27:07That's right. So much safer than being alone in a flat.
00:27:14There was a time when they made this of acorns.
00:27:17Now they've found a substitute.
00:27:28Take it easy.
00:27:30Take it easy.
00:27:37Du Clos?
00:27:39De Chaussure.
00:27:41We met once at a brigade dinner.
00:27:46Sorry if I gave you a scare.
00:27:47I was only making sure you found this house flat all right.
00:27:50Well, it just shows how mistaken one can be.
00:27:53What news from Brussels?
00:27:55I'm afraid we were right about Ayrcrofts.
00:27:56He seems to have been spending a lot of his time at the Gestapo headquarters.
00:28:00He'll have to be checked.
00:28:03I'll keep an eye on him myself for a day or two.
00:28:06Sorry to talk shop.
00:28:08I was wondering, while we're waiting for this permit,
00:28:11if it would be possible for me to see someone in Brussels?
00:28:14Depends who it is. Not family.
00:28:16My mother.
00:28:20Well, he's the Brussels expert. What do you think?
00:28:22You see, the families of all the people that left the country
00:28:24are watched in case they return.
00:28:26Couldn't you arrange for them to meet somewhere?
00:28:29Quite casually, I mean.
00:28:31You have to be very careful.
00:28:33Perhaps in the park.
00:28:36There's a seat just inside the north gate.
00:28:39If you happen to be sitting there reading a newspaper...
00:28:55Hello, Mother.
00:28:58My darling boy.
00:29:01It's like a miracle.
00:29:05You've been ill.
00:29:07Oh, it was nothing.
00:29:09Tell me about yourself.
00:29:11How have you been living?
00:29:13It's not important.
00:29:15Yes, it is.
00:29:17Do you get enough food?
00:29:19We have enough to eat.
00:29:20Oh, Charles.
00:29:22Just to see you and know that you're alive.
00:29:25But haven't you been having my letters?
00:29:27A year ago, I had one.
00:29:29From England.
00:29:31I've just come from there.
00:29:33Charles.
00:29:35What does it mean?
00:29:37I've got a job to do.
00:29:40But you mustn't ask me what it is.
00:29:42It doesn't matter.
00:29:44It doesn't matter what it is.
00:29:46It doesn't matter what it is.
00:29:47But you mustn't ask me what it is.
00:29:49It doesn't matter what it is.
00:29:52All that matters is that you're here beside me.
00:29:57So near that I could put my arms round you.
00:30:01Like I did when you were a little boy.
00:30:04Do you remember when you tried to use the sign?
00:30:09Mother.
00:30:11You'll go back to England?
00:30:13Yes.
00:30:15So...
00:30:17Directly I've done my job.
00:30:19In a few days' time, if all goes well.
00:30:22Then...
00:30:24I shan't see you again.
00:30:27Not until the war is over, Mother.
00:30:29Or until we drive them out.
00:30:31Pray God it happens quickly.
00:30:34Good people are dying every day for saying it will.
00:30:38I can't tell you what it was like wondering about you.
00:30:44Are you afraid when the Aryans have come over?
00:30:47Yes.
00:30:49But disappointed when they don't.
00:30:55I wonder if I could just...
00:30:58I'm afraid we'll have to go, Mother.
00:31:01But, Sean...
00:31:03We haven't even...
00:31:05I know, but it isn't safe here.
00:31:14Can't you see?
00:31:16I can't.
00:31:18I can't.
00:31:20I can't.
00:31:22I can't.
00:31:24I can't.
00:31:26Give me your hand.
00:31:33I'll find a way of letting you know somehow.
00:31:37Take care of yourself.
00:31:39Don't worry.
00:31:43I think you'd better go first.
00:31:52Goodbye.
00:31:56Au revoir.
00:32:16Sorry I'm late.
00:32:18There's been a little trouble.
00:32:19Trouble?
00:32:20No, not about this.
00:32:21Oh, there you are.
00:32:22That'll get you into the coastal belt.
00:32:24Here's your new identity.
00:32:27Peter Martens.
00:32:29Engine fitter.
00:32:30Age 28.
00:32:31Here's his family history.
00:32:33Rehearse those details a bit on the way out there
00:32:35so they come pat,
00:32:36and then burn it.
00:32:38You say there's been some trouble?
00:32:39One of their agents has been shot.
00:32:41There'll be reprisals.
00:32:43You'd better get out of it before the fun begins.
00:32:46If you don't find it,
00:32:47don't hang about.
00:32:50That's better.
00:32:51A week ago it sounded like an automatic riveter.
00:32:54Well, I'm learning.
00:32:56Au revoir.
00:32:57Au revoir.
00:33:22Halt!
00:33:23Forbidden zone.
00:33:24I've got a permit.
00:33:34Here.
00:33:36Got a cigarette?
00:33:38Yes.
00:33:43Thanks.
00:33:51What is this urgent family business?
00:33:54I've got to see my cousin
00:33:55at the farm over there.
00:33:57What for?
00:33:58He owes me some money.
00:34:00He owes everybody money.
00:34:07Report here on your way back.
00:34:10Right.
00:34:21Well?
00:34:23I don't know what it is.
00:34:25Three times now the plowing has been stopped
00:34:26and you don't know what it is.
00:34:29Well, I know what it is.
00:34:31Sabotage.
00:34:32We put them up against the wall for that.
00:34:51I can't make it out.
00:34:53It's only lately it's been like this.
00:34:55Well, the captain will be coming here tomorrow.
00:34:57Better start making your will.
00:35:22Bend down.
00:35:23Get down.
00:35:24Pretend to open the engine.
00:35:25Did you put this thing wrong?
00:35:26Me?
00:35:27Messiful saints.
00:35:28I've been trying to put it right.
00:35:29They're going to shoot me if I don't.
00:35:30Sounded like ignition to me.
00:35:32Have you looked at the distributor?
00:35:34No, I never meddled with that.
00:35:36Shh.
00:35:37Quiet, will you?
00:35:40Who are you?
00:35:42Do you remember the night
00:35:43the planes were stationed here?
00:35:46Planes?
00:35:47May the 27th, 1940.
00:35:49That was the night
00:35:50the German came down in the outfield.
00:35:51Yeah, I shot him down.
00:35:53Ah, a young chap named Duclos did that.
00:35:55I am Duclos.
00:35:56You know that name?
00:35:58My cousin.
00:35:59How did you get this?
00:36:00He lent it to me.
00:36:01He said you could put me up here.
00:36:03How do I know that you...
00:36:04Now, look.
00:36:05You want me to fix this?
00:36:06Yes, yes.
00:36:07Go on.
00:36:08Then you tell them I'm your cousin.
00:36:09Yes, yes.
00:36:10And remember,
00:36:11I've come here to collect some money
00:36:12that you owe me.
00:36:13What?
00:36:14Well, that'll be to tell them.
00:36:16I had to give some reason to them.
00:36:18I had to give some reason
00:36:19to pass through the control.
00:36:24That's your trouble.
00:36:31Axle grease.
00:36:32But how in the name of heaven
00:36:33can axle grease go in there?
00:36:35Only if someone put it there.
00:36:37Tracia.
00:36:38There's something about that field.
00:36:40She didn't want it ploughed up.
00:36:42She didn't?
00:36:43No.
00:36:44I'll take the hide off her for this.
00:36:45I'll teach her.
00:36:46I'll make the thing fix
00:36:47that it never goes again.
00:36:48Huh?
00:36:49And you keep calm and listen to me.
00:36:51She did this because she knows
00:36:52there's something buried in that field,
00:36:53something belonging to my regiment.
00:36:55And I've come here to get it.
00:36:56Mother of God.
00:36:57You'll get us all shot.
00:36:59Not if you keep your wits about you.
00:37:01Where is Tracia?
00:37:02Over in the barn.
00:37:03All right, when I finish,
00:37:04I'll go and talk to her.
00:37:05We'll soon get this thing going.
00:37:17What's the matter?
00:37:29Jean Duclos.
00:37:30You must forget that.
00:37:31Now I'm your cousin, Peter Martins.
00:37:33I don't understand.
00:37:34I'm a soldier.
00:37:35I'm a soldier.
00:37:37I'm not a soldier.
00:37:38I'm a soldier.
00:37:39I'm not a soldier.
00:37:41I'm a soldier.
00:37:42I'm a soldier.
00:37:43I'm a soldier.
00:37:44I'm a soldier.
00:37:45I don't understand. Where have you come from?
00:37:48England.
00:37:49Has Fernand come with you?
00:37:51I'm afraid not.
00:37:52But you have news of him.
00:37:57It's bad news.
00:38:07It was nearly a year ago now, during the Battle of Britain.
00:38:12Did he speak of me?
00:38:14Yes. The night before he died.
00:38:18He told me you were married. If he'd lived, he would have come over with me.
00:38:22You killed him.
00:38:23Tricia, he was shot down.
00:38:25His plane was destroyed and you forced him to go.
00:38:27What right did you have to decide that he must die?
00:38:29I felt he didn't know his own mind, that he'd want to go on flying.
00:38:33It wasn't easy to think with shells coming over and planes to get off the ground.
00:38:37I only did what I thought was best for him.
00:38:39Best for him? But for you he'd be here now.
00:38:44Tricia, I've got to ask you something.
00:38:52We'll talk about it later.
00:38:55We'll talk about it later.
00:39:11Fernand's gone.
00:39:25What time do those soldiers come back?
00:39:28On most Saturdays it's around eleven.
00:39:30They go to draw their pay and then tip the better part of it down their necks.
00:39:35What about the old boy over there?
00:39:37What about him?
00:39:39He's listening.
00:39:41Him listening?
00:39:43He hasn't heard anything for twenty years.
00:39:46Well, I think I'll go and talk with Tricia.
00:39:49You won't get anything out of her.
00:39:52You won't get anything out of her.
00:39:54There's a dark one if you like.
00:39:56Takes after her mother.
00:39:59Expected to be a bit upset, wouldn't you, hearing that young chap had been killed?
00:40:03She is upset.
00:40:04Not her.
00:40:05If she was, she'd be crying her eyes out.
00:40:07She does it often enough. Just look at her.
00:40:09Never a tear all the evening.
00:40:12Tears come afterwards.
00:40:14Are you telling me I don't know my own daughter?
00:40:17Well, I'm telling you to watch out.
00:40:19She's mad at you.
00:40:22We'll see.
00:40:24You'll see, all right.
00:40:26Now, my other girl went to Brussels. You got some sense out of her.
00:40:29But this is a dark one.
00:40:32You mark my words.
00:40:50Leave them, leave them.
00:40:55Tricia, the soldiers are only away for tonight.
00:40:57I must ask you again.
00:40:59Tell me where that flag is hidden.
00:41:00Please, I don't feel like talking.
00:41:02I've come from England to get it.
00:41:04Why? Why risk our life for a piece of cloth?
00:41:06It's not just a piece of cloth.
00:41:08It's what it stands for.
00:41:10It represents a belief, a faith.
00:41:12To risk our life for a human being?
00:41:14It's not just a piece of cloth.
00:41:16It's what it stands for.
00:41:18To risk our life for a human being, or to save your home, that I can understand.
00:41:21But this...
00:41:23Tricia, when I came through the village, I saw the church.
00:41:26I was told that when the soldiers put their guns in there,
00:41:2818 people were shot for trying to throw them out.
00:41:30That's true, isn't it?
00:41:31Yes.
00:41:32Because that church stood for something they believed in,
00:41:34they went in with knives and pitchforks against machine guns and hand grenades.
00:41:37Do you despise that?
00:41:38This is different.
00:41:39Is it?
00:41:40Don't we all need some visible sign of our faith?
00:41:43A church?
00:41:44A crown? A banner?
00:41:46If they stood for something you really believed in,
00:41:48would you stand by and see them desecrated by people you despised?
00:41:51I wouldn't, and I'm certain Fernand wouldn't.
00:41:53We don't know what he'd do.
00:41:55All we know is that he's dead.
00:41:57That last night together, we buried the flag.
00:42:00For me, it's his grave.
00:42:04Tricia, it was Fernand who wanted to come.
00:42:07You're only using his name to get what you want.
00:42:09No, he'd set his heart on it.
00:42:11And if you won't do it for me, why won't you do it for him?
00:42:14Leave me alone.
00:42:44What have you been doing?
00:43:05Thinking.
00:43:06Thinking?
00:43:07There's no time for that sort of nonsense with the kid yelling his lungs out.
00:43:10Where's Jean Duclos?
00:43:11How do I know?
00:43:12He went out.
00:43:39All right, I'm ready.
00:43:42Ready?
00:43:43She'll need a shovel and pickaxe and some sacks to put the earth on.
00:44:02Now then, it's exact. It must be right.
00:44:08If it's as deep as this, the plough would have gone over it.
00:44:15That's it.
00:44:33Quick, let's get rid of this.
00:44:36If we meet anyone going back, we've been looking for a car.
00:44:39No one got out before.
00:44:41As long as we both say the same thing.
00:44:45Listen.
00:44:47Soldiers.
00:44:48They're early.
00:45:00There'll be someone on duty now until they think a corporal's asleep.
00:45:03You go back, I'll stay here.
00:45:05Come by the orchard.
00:45:06There'll be a man near the barn and one in front of the house.
00:45:09All right.
00:45:10You better give me that.
00:45:26What do you think you were doing?
00:45:27One of the cars got out into the field.
00:45:29Then why are you running this way?
00:45:30To fetch my father. I can't catch it alone.
00:45:32Hey, you, get a light on that field.
00:45:50You're quite sure it was a calf.
00:45:52Of course.
00:45:59What is it?
00:46:00I thought I saw something.
00:46:17Switch it off and get the torches.
00:46:18Double down there, some of you.
00:46:20Perhaps we better leave it till morning.
00:46:21Oh, no, we'll soon round him up.
00:46:23You come with us.
00:46:52Come on.
00:47:22I'm sorry, I'm interrupting.
00:47:23On the contrary.
00:47:24I've been waiting for you.
00:47:31Waiting for me?
00:47:34May I ask where you've been?
00:47:36Yes.
00:47:37I've been helping Mademoiselle Treasure catch the calf that got loose.
00:47:39And did you catch it?
00:47:40No.
00:47:41You left her to do it alone?
00:47:43Some of your men are helping.
00:47:45You see, I haven't got much time.
00:47:46I want to talk to...
00:47:47To your uncle.
00:47:49My uncle?
00:47:52Your cousin, I mean.
00:47:56May I see your papers?
00:47:57Yes, certainly.
00:48:08Eyes grey.
00:48:10Just come forward a little.
00:48:12I should have said blue.
00:48:14Maybe it's the light.
00:48:15Engine fitter.
00:48:17Show me your hands.
00:48:20Earth?
00:48:21I came a cropper jumping a ditch in the dark.
00:48:23When you were running?
00:48:24After the calf.
00:48:26What's the name of your firm?
00:48:27England Franks.
00:48:28How long have you been there?
00:48:29Nine years.
00:48:30You're 24?
00:48:3128, it says there.
00:48:32What's the name of your foreman?
00:48:33Helder.
00:48:34You don't talk much like a fitter.
00:48:35How long are you staying here?
00:48:36Until the morning.
00:48:37What are you taking with you?
00:48:38I don't understand.
00:48:39Well, that's easily checked.
00:48:42The ploughing will be finished before midday.
00:48:44Very good.
00:48:53Before you came in...
00:48:54Shh.
00:49:11What were you saying?
00:49:12He went through all the things in your case.
00:49:15It's lucky she didn't tell you where to find that flag.
00:49:19Yes.
00:49:22Didn't it?
00:49:32And don't forget.
00:49:33If anything goes wrong, you know nothing about it.
00:49:36Nothing will go wrong.
00:49:38Are you very confident?
00:49:39Yes.
00:49:42Seems to run in the family.
00:49:52What are you taking out with you?
00:49:55Only this.
00:49:56Bring it down here.
00:50:08When are you going to get some money from your cousin?
00:50:15That's right.
00:50:16Where is it?
00:50:17He hasn't got any.
00:50:18The soldiers have eaten all his stock.
00:50:20We don't see much of it.
00:50:22What's inside?
00:50:23Two calves.
00:50:24What else have you got?
00:50:25Only the calves for Captain Schaltheimer.
00:50:27You know I never take anything out without a permit.
00:50:30I'll have a look all the same.
00:50:41All right.
00:50:44Wait a minute.
00:51:12What is it?
00:51:13Nothing.
00:51:14Rubbish.
00:51:16Have you examined this?
00:51:17Yes, sir.
00:51:18Take the girl into the hut and search her.
00:51:20You've got something here somewhere.
00:51:22What's in that box?
00:51:23My baby.
00:51:24Fetch it down.
00:51:25There's nothing there and he's asleep.
00:51:26I said take her away and search her.
00:51:33What are you waiting for?
00:51:47All right, put it back.
00:52:16Well?
00:52:25Nothing, sir.
00:52:39Where are you taking him?
00:52:51To the station.
00:52:54Very well.
00:53:07Thank you, sir.
00:53:33You follow that path and when you come out of the wood, through the field to the left.
00:53:43A lot of people will be thankful to you for this.
00:53:46Last night I behaved very badly.
00:53:48I'm sorry.
00:53:50Goodbye.
00:54:19I want you to send these off for me.
00:54:30Send them by different routes, will you?
00:54:34I have no doubt I shall be labeled a Jewish communist agitator.
00:54:38And I'd like our own people to have the facts.
00:54:40They can print them if they think fit.
00:54:42You'll see to it for me.
00:54:43But it's unthinkable.
00:54:46They all look to you.
00:54:47This is not the time for sentiment.
00:54:49Atkins knew too much about me and I have no doubt he passed it on.
00:54:52I've become a danger to my friends and I'm better out of the way.
00:54:57The best service you can do is to help substantiate my guilt.
00:55:00But I can't do that.
00:55:01You can and you must.
00:55:04The organization has got to go on.
00:55:06The Gestapo will never believe that you did it.
00:55:08They'll be only too ready to believe.
00:55:10The hostages will be released.
00:55:13They'll be glad enough to save their faces and not have to admit another failure.
00:55:18I'd like a few minutes alone.
00:55:43Him, that one, and those two there.
00:55:45Get them out quick.
00:55:48Come on.
00:56:18Hello, Duclos.
00:56:33The SS were downstairs.
00:56:34They were taking people out of the cafe.
00:56:36I know.
00:56:42Oh, did you have any luck?
00:56:44Yes, I've got it.
00:56:46That's all right then.
00:56:47Duclos, I hate to seem inhospitable,
00:56:50but this place is likely to be searched within the next hour or two.
00:56:53So the sooner you're on your way, the better.
00:56:55There's a train at 7.30 and there's something in this I'd like you to look at.
00:56:59Not now.
00:57:00When you get on the train.
00:57:02I'm sorry I haven't time to hear how you got on.
00:57:05Well, there's nothing much to hear.
00:57:06The main thing is I've got it.
00:57:08Yes.
00:57:09Well, goodbye, Duclos.
00:57:11Goodbye.
00:57:15If you see my boy, you might tell him that I was thinking of him on...
00:57:19What's the date today? The 10th?
00:57:21On the 10th of September.
00:57:24Will you remember that?
00:57:25Yes, I will.
00:57:26I always seem to be hurrying you off like this.
00:57:29But I have an appointment at 6.
00:57:31Good night, son.
00:58:01Good night.
00:58:31It's Rizal. I must speak to him.
00:58:51I'm sorry, I can't.
00:58:52Oh, I won't keep you.
00:58:53It's about the Weinberger girl, the eldest one.
00:58:55I suppose you heard about the disgraceful business at the Hotel Bristol the other night.
00:58:58I'm so sorry, I can't.
00:58:59But do you realize that she walked across the entire width of the lounge to the table where the German officers were and sat down with them?
00:59:05Of course, she said it was only to try and get some information about her brother.
00:59:08You remember, the one who went to Zanzibar.
00:59:10But it's not a story I'm prepared to swallow.
00:59:12Not after having seen it with my own eyes, the disgraceful way in which she behaved.
00:59:15It's a bit cold, huh?
00:59:42I'm trying this.
00:59:43No, I'm not.
00:59:44Come on.
00:59:47I'm smoking.
00:59:48Don't worry.
00:59:49I'm sorry, I can't.
01:00:19Yes?
01:00:36Is everything all right, sir?
01:00:37See they keep quiet at the front yard.
01:00:38I want to get some sleep.
01:00:39Yes.
01:01:08Good night.
01:01:37Come on, break it up.
01:01:48Get him a gun.
01:02:17Get him a gun.
01:02:46What's that you got there?
01:02:55Oh, a bit of the old drawing room curtains.
01:03:03Do you know that fellow?
01:03:32Good evening.
01:03:33Good evening.
01:03:34Generally go this way?
01:03:35No, not always.
01:03:36Been long on the job?
01:03:37A couple of weeks.
01:03:38Digs in town, I suppose.
01:03:39Yeah.
01:03:40What do you do with yourself in the evening?
01:03:41Why?
01:03:42Poor.
01:03:43Just thought he might have a drink somewhere.
01:03:44Do you ever go to the Cafe Basque?
01:03:45No, I haven't been there lately.
01:03:46I don't suppose you have.
01:03:47Mr. Stout, you're a man of your word.
01:03:48I'm a man of my word.

01:06:13I'm a man of my word.
01:06:14I'm a man of my word.
01:06:15I'm a man of my word.
01:06:17They told me to come here.
01:06:19Why?
01:06:20They said you'd help me to get across the frontier.
01:06:35Well, can you do it?
01:06:38If your papers are good enough, you'll get across without any help from me.
01:06:42I shall be searched.
01:06:44Everybody's searched.
01:06:47Listen.
01:06:48There's something I've got to take across with me.
01:06:50Where is it?
01:06:51Here.
01:06:52Let's see it.
01:06:59You'll never get that through.
01:07:01They're stripping everyone down to their boots.
01:07:03I brought it 600 miles.
01:07:05And I'm not going to give it up now.
01:07:07There's only two miles to go.
01:07:08They're looking for something.
01:07:10They're looking for something special.
01:07:13Something that's supposed to have come from Belgium.
01:07:15That'll be about 600 miles, wouldn't it?
01:07:17Well?
01:07:18There's a big reward off it.
01:07:20Why don't you claim it, if you think that's what they're looking for?
01:07:23I'll do as I please about that.
01:07:26I don't like them or their money any more than you do.
01:07:28You mean there's another way of getting it across?
01:07:29There may be.
01:07:31I can't say until I've seen my sister-in-law.
01:07:34She lives on the other side.
01:07:37Mind you,
01:07:38I don't say it'll work.
01:07:40If it doesn't, you won't live very long.
01:07:42I'll take a chance.
01:07:46All the same,
01:07:47you'd better put that away somewhere.
01:07:49Just now, a flag's a dangerous thing to have around.
01:08:09I'm sorry.
01:08:10I'm sorry.
01:08:11I'm sorry.
01:08:12I'm sorry.
01:08:13I'm sorry.
01:08:14I'm sorry.
01:08:15I'm sorry.
01:08:16I'm sorry.
01:08:17I'm sorry.
01:08:18I'm sorry.
01:08:19I'm sorry.
01:08:20I'm sorry.
01:08:21I'm sorry.
01:08:22I'm sorry.
01:08:23I'm sorry.
01:08:24I'm sorry.
01:08:25I'm sorry.
01:08:26I'm sorry.
01:08:27I'm sorry.
01:08:28I'm sorry.
01:08:29I'm sorry.
01:08:30I'm sorry.
01:08:31I'm sorry.
01:08:32I'm sorry.
01:08:33I'm sorry.
01:08:34I'm sorry.
01:08:35I'm sorry.
01:08:36I'm sorry.
01:08:38I'm so sorry.
01:08:39I'm sorry.
01:08:48If you get past the guard on the bridge,
01:08:50take the road to the right.
01:08:52My sister's base is just over that hill.
01:09:07Keep that sentry in the hut as long as you can. I'll stay until I see the dogs cut across.
01:09:38Halt! Your favours.
01:09:45In the hut.
01:10:07Keep that sentry in the hut as long as you can.
01:10:37Keep that sentry in the hut as long as you can.
01:11:07Keep that sentry in the hut as long as you can.
01:11:32Is the passenger here?
01:11:34Not yet.
01:11:35But I'm ready to leave.
01:11:36Well, I say he is not here.
01:11:38Yes, but I got to deliver these by nine.
01:11:41Are you expecting me?
01:11:43Come in, monsieur.
01:11:45I have some soup waiting for you.
01:11:47Have you got the parcel?
01:11:48No.
01:11:50Well, where's the dog?
01:11:51He hasn't come, monsieur.
01:11:57I've got to go back.
01:11:58I'm not going to wait for that.
01:11:59Leave it, monsieur.
01:12:00Go with Henri while you have the chance.
01:12:03It may be four or five weeks before I'm back here.
01:12:05You have been lucky to get through, monsieur.
01:12:07One can get other dogs.
01:12:08But not the parcel.
01:12:10Is your parcel of more importance than your liberty?
01:12:14Yes.
01:12:15Well, I'm going. You please yourself.
01:12:17You will wait for him.
01:12:18But I can't. I'll get into trouble.
01:12:20I said you will wait for him.
01:12:21But I...
01:12:22You will say you had a breakdown.
01:12:23Does this thing work?
01:12:25After fashion.
01:12:26Can I borrow it?
01:12:27Of course.
01:12:28I expect it needs cleaning.
01:12:30I'll be back.
01:12:31I'll give you half an hour, not a minute longer.
01:12:35I'll be back.
01:13:05I'll be back.
01:13:35I'll be back.
01:13:55If they don't come back before dark, we'll go over.
01:14:05There's something moving higher up there.
01:14:36Cover the ground between the wall and the dog.
01:14:39Directly he shows himself. Let him have it.
01:15:05There he goes.
01:15:18Did you get him?
01:15:19I think so.
01:16:05I think so.
01:16:13Considering what it's been through, it doesn't look too bad.
01:16:17A few weeks later, someone else brought back this little lion here,
01:16:20which kind of completes the job.
01:16:22Brought it back from Belgium, do you mean?
01:16:24That's right.
01:16:25You talk about Belgium as if it were Brighton.
01:16:28It's not as difficult as you'd think.
01:16:29Not to talk about.
01:16:30I was thinking of those who actually went.
01:16:32Excuse me, but I think they're ready over there.
01:16:34So they are.
01:16:35All right, Ledoux.
01:16:36Jean, I want you to meet Farley and Hardwick.
01:16:39How do you do?
01:16:40If you can fix them up with seats.
01:16:42Yes, of course.
01:16:43Well, if you'll forgive me, I'll see you after break.
01:16:48We've just been hearing all about this flag business.
01:16:50Oh, yes?
01:16:51Old Vanderfelt's quite a storyteller.
01:16:53If you didn't know, you'd think he might have been over there himself.
01:16:56He has.
01:16:58He's the one who went to fetch the lion.
01:17:01You don't say.
01:17:03Well, let's move over, shall we?
01:17:06I give into your keeping the flag of the regiment of the Belgian Air Force.
01:17:22That's the funny thing about this war.
01:17:24You never know who you're talking to.
01:17:26I dare say the bloke that fetched the flag is quite an ordinary little fellow, too.
01:17:31Yes.
01:17:34I don't quite catch your name.
01:17:36Duclos.
