00:00:00Oh
00:02:00Oh, no, no, please. Don't give her any wrong ideas, Mrs. Delroy. Let me train her my way.
00:02:03If he treats you badly, I'll have him struck off the medical register.
00:02:07We'll need to give us a round.
00:02:08Yes, yes.
00:02:09Bye-bye.
00:02:09Bye-bye.
00:02:10Bye-bye.
00:02:13I've been so busy organising your guests, I haven't had a chance to kiss the bride yet.
00:02:16Well, I'd better take your chance now, Mark. It'll be your last. Thank you.
00:02:20Congratulations, Mrs. Murray.
00:02:21Thank you, Mark.
00:02:22You're a lucky fella.
00:02:22Oh, don't I know it.
00:02:23Mrs. Irving.
00:02:24Mark.
00:02:25Now I can see where Chris gets her good looks. You haven't got another daughter tucked away.
00:02:29One you've forgotten about. They'll make a fine son-in-law.
00:02:31Now, don't ask me for a reference.
00:02:33Mark, it's always time to cut the cake. You have to make a speech.
00:02:36Oh, so I have. Excuse me.
00:02:38You're happy, darling.
00:02:39I'm so happy, Mother. I want to cry.
00:02:42Attention, ladies and gentlemen, please. Please. Thank you.
00:02:46Sorry, please. Thank you.
00:02:49Now, it's customer at this point for the best man to make a speech, and nobody's going to stop me.
00:02:55When Tom asked me to do this job, I asked what I had to do, and he explained that I
00:02:58have to tell you everything about him.
00:03:00Seems he wants to divorce his first day.
00:03:03But what can I tell you about, Tom?
00:03:05I know he's a great fella. You know he's a great fella.
00:03:08And it's too late for Chris now, anyway.
00:03:10But this marriage, you know, is a big mistake. A big mistake.
00:03:13Now, I'll tell you how it happened.
00:03:15Tom lent Chris a book, and then wrote a note to her when he wanted it back.
00:03:19She read it as a proposal of marriage.
00:03:21Well, you know what doctor's handwriting is.
00:03:26But seriously, and in all sincerity, I know them both.
00:03:31I love them both.
00:03:33And this thing couldn't have happened to two nicer people.
00:03:36So I'm going to ask you to raise your glasses and drink a toast with me to their future health
00:03:41and happiness.
00:03:42God bless you both.
00:03:46Come on, Tom.
00:03:47Speech.
00:03:50And thank you, Mark.
00:03:53Well, I guess it would be pretty difficult to follow that speech, so I'm not even going to try.
00:03:59But I'd just like to say that I am luckier than any one man has a right to be.
00:04:06And on behalf of my bride and myself, thank you.
00:04:10Now then, Tom.
00:04:12It's all yours.
00:04:13Oh, thank you.
00:04:14Thank you, Mark.
00:04:15Well, thank you.
00:04:16Thank you very much.
00:04:18You're a very good girlfriend.
00:04:20I'll do this together.
00:04:21All right?
00:04:22All right, then.
00:05:10Yes, Miss?
00:05:11I wish to speak to Dr. Murray.
00:05:13Dr. Murray is upstairs changing, Miss.
00:05:15He was married this morning.
00:05:16Yes, I know, but I wish to speak to him.
00:05:18I'm sorry, Miss, but that's enough.
00:05:19Please tell him that I'm here.
00:05:20I told you, Miss, the doctor's changing.
00:05:23He'll be going away with his wife in a few minutes.
00:05:25I must speak to him.
00:05:27Very well, Miss.
00:05:28I'll give him the message.
00:05:30Perhaps you'll wait in the library.
00:05:38Who shall I say is calling, Miss?
00:05:40Just a very old friend from Dumasville.
00:05:44Very well, Miss.
00:05:56Oh, there you are, Jessup.
00:05:57We need more wine, about half a dozen bottles.
00:05:59Yes, madam, but I was just going to...
00:06:01At once, please, Jessup.
00:06:02Very good, madam.
00:06:04Excuse me.
00:06:05She won't be long now.
00:06:07Dr. Murray.
00:06:07Yes, Jessup.
00:06:08There's a young lady in the library, sir.
00:06:10She wants to see you.
00:06:10A young lady?
00:06:11Did you tell her she was too late?
00:06:12I've just got married.
00:06:13Yes, but she insisted.
00:06:14I can't see any patients today, Jessup.
00:06:16Is the car out front?
00:06:17Excuse me, sir.
00:06:18The lady said she was a close friend of yours.
00:06:21A close friend?
00:06:21What's her name?
00:06:21She didn't give it, sir.
00:06:23She's from Dumasville.
00:06:25Dumasville?
00:06:25That's what she said, sir.
00:06:27She's in the library.
00:06:28Yes, sir.
00:06:29Put this in the car, will you, Jessup?
00:06:34Hello, Tom.
00:06:35Annette.
00:06:38Pleased to see me?
00:06:40Surprised?
00:06:41Oh, I don't know what to say.
00:06:43I just can't believe it.
00:06:45Oh, Annette.
00:06:47Oh, it's good to see you again.
00:06:49You look wonderful.
00:06:50It's been a long time, Tom.
00:06:51I never thought I'd see you again.
00:06:53At the hospital, they told me you were missing.
00:06:54No, I finished out the war at Dumasville.
00:06:57I knew that you had been shipped home after the liberation.
00:07:00But I did expect you to write to me or contact me in some way.
00:07:04Well, I made inquiries, of course, but I thought you were dead.
00:07:07They told me you never got out of that house alive.
00:07:09And you believed them?
00:07:10Well, why shouldn't I?
00:07:11It was a miracle anyone got out of that house.
00:07:13But you knew that it was not true.
00:07:15I don't understand.
00:07:18At Paul's place.
00:07:20After Marie's house had been attacked.
00:07:22After they found you calling on the hillside more dead than alive.
00:07:28I was there, Ben.
00:07:29You were there.
00:07:30Naturellement.
00:07:33Don't tell me that you don't remember.
00:07:35Oh, what happened at Paul's place is just a blur to me.
00:07:37I remember the house in the village.
00:07:39I have a hazy memory of them taking me to Paul's place and patching me up.
00:07:42But after that, it's just a blank.
00:07:44A whole month of my life lost.
00:07:46The next thing I knew, I was waking up in the back of an American ambulance and a big red
00:07:50-faced surgeon was telling me the war was over for me.
00:07:52You lost your memory?
00:07:54Yeah.
00:07:54Amnesia.
00:07:55That's the medical term.
00:07:57Well, you see, I was pretty badly shot up in it.
00:07:59I was lucky to live through it at all.
00:08:01You know, I'm still carrying a silver plate up here as a result of it.
00:08:04Oh, but let's not talk about the war.
00:08:06It's past, forgotten.
00:08:08No.
00:08:08No, it's not forgotten, Tom.
00:08:11So that's why I never heard from you.
00:08:13Do you think if I'd known you were alive, I wouldn't have tried to contact you?
00:08:16Why, I'd even have invited you to my wedding.
00:08:18Your wedding?
00:08:21Ah, yes.
00:08:22Your wedding.
00:08:23Now, what's the matter?
00:08:24You shouldn't have got married, Tom.
00:08:25Oh, you won't say that after you've met Chris.
00:08:28She's wonderful, Annette.
00:08:30You're married to me.
00:08:38Legally, I'm still your wife.
00:08:44Oh, Mrs. Elliot.
00:08:45Where's that beautiful daughter and that brand new husband of hers?
00:08:48They're still changing.
00:08:49Well, they're taking their time about it, aren't they?
00:08:51Do you think we ought to send out a search party?
00:08:52No, they wouldn't like that.
00:08:54They wouldn't like that at all.
00:08:55Oh.
00:08:56Well, we'll give them another five minutes.
00:09:05Oh, Gesso.
00:09:06Yes, Miss Christine?
00:09:07Gesso, if you must try to remember that it's Mrs. now, Mrs. Murray.
00:09:11Yes, Miss.
00:09:12Where's my husband?
00:09:13Out at the car?
00:09:14No, Miss, he's in the library.
00:09:15In the library?
00:09:16He's busy right now, Miss.
00:09:17Oh, I'm sure he's not too busy for me.
00:09:19Chris, you look wonderful.
00:09:20Thank you, Mark.
00:09:21Will you marry me?
00:09:22Later.
00:09:23That's the story of my life.
00:09:24Later.
00:09:24Always the blushing best man and never the lucky groom.
00:09:27Talking of lucky grooms, where is he?
00:09:28That's what I'm just going to find out.
00:09:29Come on, you were saying goodbye to your guests.
00:09:31No, in a moment, Mark.
00:09:35Tom.
00:09:36What are you doing here?
00:09:38I know I should have scolded you on our wedding day,
00:09:40but we are keeping our guests waiting.
00:09:42Chris, I...
00:09:43Oh, I didn't realise.
00:09:45I'm sorry, I don't think we've met.
00:09:47My name is Murray.
00:09:49Annette Murray.
00:09:50Murray?
00:09:51Oh, well, you must be a cousin, or...
00:09:52No.
00:09:53No, she's not my cousin.
00:09:54Tom is, uh, my husband.
00:10:03Come on, let's go and get them out.
00:10:05The library's no place to start a honeymoon.
00:10:06Maybe they're fond of reading.
00:10:08Come on.
00:10:17Here they are.
00:10:17Here they are.
00:10:19We won't be out.
00:10:21We'll be out soon.
00:10:22What's wrong?
00:10:24Aren't you going to introduce me?
00:10:27My name's Mark Jennings.
00:10:28Clean living, unmarried.
00:10:29Mark.
00:10:30Your guests are waiting to say goodbye.
00:10:31Let's get rid of them.
00:10:32Is this some sort of joke?
00:10:33I only wish it was.
00:10:37Tom, what's wrong?
00:10:38What's happened?
00:10:38I haven't got time to explain.
00:10:40Just get the guests out of here, please.
00:10:40Is it something to do with her?
00:10:41No, Mark, Mark, believe me,
00:10:42I wouldn't ask you to do this
00:10:43if there was any other way.
00:10:45Chris,
00:10:46is this what you want?
00:10:48I think you'd better do as Tom says.
00:10:51What'll I tell them?
00:10:52Oh, anything.
00:10:53Tell them I'm sick.
00:10:53I got called away in an emergency.
00:10:55Anything.
00:10:55Just get them out of here, please.
00:10:57All right.
00:11:06What's going on in there?
00:11:07It's gentlemen, please.
00:11:09I'm afraid I've got some rather bad news for you.
00:11:11What kind of bad news?
00:11:12Well, something rather unfortunate
00:11:13has happened to Ma this happy day.
00:11:15What's wrong?
00:11:15The bride and groom will not be going away as planned.
00:11:18Oh, Mark.
00:11:21What is it?
00:11:24What's happened?
00:11:25It's Tom.
00:11:26He's had bad news.
00:11:27A relative, a close relative has died.
00:11:29Someone near and dear to him.
00:11:31Oh, the poor boy.
00:11:32I must go to him.
00:11:33No, I think he'd rather be alone with Chris at the moment.
00:11:36They send their regrets and apologies
00:11:37and, well, I know you'll forgive them.
00:11:39And now I think we ought to leave quietly.
00:11:41I know you'll understand.
00:11:42Please.
00:11:44I think it's only fair.
00:11:44It's most unfortunate.
00:11:46Are you trying to tell me then
00:11:47that you don't remember marrying this woman?
00:11:48That's what I'm trying to say.
00:11:49It doesn't seem possible.
00:11:51Marriage isn't something you just go through with
00:11:53and then forget about.
00:11:54Chris, please try to understand.
00:11:55I'm trying.
00:11:56I'm trying.
00:11:58Well, it was during the war.
00:12:00The war?
00:12:01Are you offering that as an excuse?
00:12:03Oh, I'm not trying to make any excuses.
00:12:04I'm trying to explain.
00:12:05I just don't remember marrying you.
00:12:08Look, I was badly shot up.
00:12:10I was in a coma for weeks.
00:12:11You don't remember the marriage
00:12:13and yet you remember this woman?
00:12:16Yes.
00:12:16Yes, I remember Annette.
00:12:18I recognized her just as soon
00:12:19as I walked through that door.
00:12:20You never spoke of her before?
00:12:22Oh, I knew a lot of girls
00:12:23before I met you, Chris.
00:12:24I didn't think I had to tell you
00:12:25about all of them.
00:12:26Girls, yes.
00:12:27Girls you took out to dinner
00:12:28and girls you met before,
00:12:29but this is different.
00:12:30She says I married her.
00:12:31I don't remember.
00:12:32Perhaps it was more convenient
00:12:34to forget.
00:12:37The war is something
00:12:38I've tried to forget.
00:12:39And you were part of it.
00:12:40I'll admit that.
00:12:41Father, a big part.
00:12:42Your wife.
00:12:44Father Laroche
00:12:45performed the ceremony.
00:12:47At least you remember
00:12:48Father Laroche.
00:12:48Of course.
00:12:49How can I forget him?
00:12:51He helped me to escape
00:12:52from the Germans.
00:12:53But I don't remember
00:12:55him marrying us.
00:12:56He did.
00:12:57It was not a gay ceremony.
00:12:59No, parties such as you have here.
00:13:01There were no wedding bells for us.
00:13:03Only the rumble of guns
00:13:04and the screams of the dying.
00:13:07We couldn't even find
00:13:08a proper wedding ring.
00:13:09So,
00:13:11you put this on my finger.
00:13:13My signal ring?
00:13:14You recognize it?
00:13:16Of course I recognize it.
00:13:17My mother gave it to me.
00:13:18We laughed at the time
00:13:19because it was too big.
00:13:21Later I had it made to fit.
00:13:23You said that I should wear it
00:13:25on my thumb.
00:13:26We laughed at that.
00:13:28The occasion for laughter
00:13:29in those days was so rare
00:13:31it was hard to forget.
00:13:38Chris, I don't know
00:13:40if this is true or not.
00:13:41I just don't remember.
00:13:44Darling.
00:13:45I don't remember.
00:13:46Look,
00:13:47maybe it will help open
00:13:48some tight forgotten
00:13:49corner of your mind
00:13:49if you tell me
00:13:50what you do remember.
00:13:51If you tell me
00:13:52what did happen.
00:13:54Do you think it might help?
00:13:55Well, we can only try.
00:13:57It's part of my life
00:13:58I've wanted to blot out forever.
00:14:00Yes, but it's in the past now.
00:14:01Can't possibly hurt so much now.
00:14:04Oh, try, darling.
00:14:05Try.
00:14:11Chris, darling,
00:14:12I'm dreadfully worried.
00:14:13Oh, Mother,
00:14:14you have to be patient.
00:14:15What is it?
00:14:16Can't you tell me?
00:14:17No.
00:14:18I'll be with you
00:14:19as soon as I can.
00:14:23Go on, Tom.
00:14:25Tell me about it.
00:14:28Well,
00:14:29as you know,
00:14:29I served in the army
00:14:32during the war
00:14:32as an ambulance driver.
00:14:35I barely started
00:14:36my medical training
00:14:37when I was called up.
00:14:39We were based
00:14:41north of Caen,
00:14:41the Normandy campaign.
00:14:44The fighting was
00:14:45pretty hard and bloody.
00:14:49Villages used to
00:14:49change hands overnight.
00:14:52The medical corps
00:14:53was busy.
00:14:55Too busy.
00:14:58It was in
00:14:59August 1944.
00:15:02The post I was in
00:15:03was overrun
00:15:04during the night
00:15:04by the Germans.
00:15:06And I found myself
00:15:07in a truck
00:15:09destined for Germany
00:15:10in a prison camp.
00:15:12I could think
00:15:12of no worse faith
00:15:13than to be a prisoner
00:15:14held by the Germans.
00:15:16The truck was full of wounded.
00:15:17I was the only fit man there.
00:15:19So we rated only one guard.
00:15:21Every minute,
00:15:22the truck was taking me
00:15:23deeper and deeper
00:15:24behind the German lines.
00:15:26I knew that if I was to escape,
00:15:27it would have to be soon.
00:15:29But I had to wait
00:15:30for the right moment.
00:15:31I had to wait
00:15:32for a stretch of road
00:15:33that was deserted,
00:15:34and yet at the same time
00:15:36offered me some cover.
00:15:37The time had come,
00:15:38and I started to creep up
00:15:40on the guard.
00:15:43The truck wasn't moving
00:15:44too fast,
00:15:45and I landed
00:15:46without breaking anything.
00:15:53Close by,
00:15:55I had to make it.
00:15:56I had to.
00:15:57I almost did.
00:16:12We are not there.
00:16:17I had to.
00:16:19BIRDS CHIRP
00:16:55I was hit in the leg
00:16:57I knew that I couldn't outrun the guard any longer
00:16:59My only chance was to hide
00:17:07I lay there
00:17:08Not daring to move
00:17:10Not daring to breathe
00:17:12Listening to the guard searching for me
00:17:43I heard him moving away
00:17:45The sounds of his searching grew more and more distant
00:17:48Until finally there was silence
00:18:09I'd lost a lot of blood
00:18:10I couldn't stand up
00:18:12I must have fainted
00:18:15And that's how Father LaRoche found me
00:18:26Somehow LaRoche got me to my feet
00:18:28And took me to a house in the village nearby
00:18:37Father, what happened?
00:18:38Marie, close the door
00:18:42Who is this man?
00:18:43Help me put him on the sofa
00:18:45That Anglaise
00:18:46Father, you know the penalty
00:18:48Lock the door
00:18:51But Father
00:18:53Do as I say
00:18:55Would you turn away one who has need of our help?
00:19:00Oh, he looks very sick
00:19:02I found him in the woods
00:19:04A mile from here
00:19:05Lucky I did
00:19:06For he would have bled to death
00:19:07Escape
00:19:08Must escape
00:19:09Keep running
00:19:09Here
00:19:10Fetch some cognac
00:19:13Cognac?
00:19:14Father, we have not had cognac in this house
00:19:16Since the war began
00:19:17That story is good enough for the Germans
00:19:19But not for me
00:19:20Fetch some cognac
00:19:27How long must he stay here?
00:19:28Until he's well enough to be moved
00:19:31And then
00:19:31We must find a way to get him back to his own lines
00:19:40If the Walsh find out we are hiding him here
00:19:42We will all pay for it
00:19:43They will not find out
00:19:45If you keep him in the loft as you did the others
00:19:52Not since the war, eh?
00:19:54I forget I had it
00:20:05Oh, what?
00:20:06You must try not to talk
00:20:09Where is this place?
00:20:10You are in the house of Marie Duvan
00:20:11You'll be safe here for a while
00:20:13Hot water, Marie
00:20:14Oui
00:20:17And you are?
00:20:18My name is Laos
00:20:21You're good
00:20:21You're very good
00:20:22I try to remember my calling
00:20:24A difficult thing to do when one is in the middle of a war
00:20:28What?
00:20:29I jumped from a truck
00:20:30They were taking me to Germany
00:20:32Yes, yes
00:20:32But you must try to rest now
00:20:35You've had a bad wound in the leg
00:20:36But I'm going to try to fix it
00:20:39Do you know anything about medicine?
00:20:41A little
00:20:42A, uh, how do you say, a vicar
00:20:45Must learn to care for the body as well as the soul
00:20:48I'll try to tell you what to do
00:20:49I've had some surgical training
00:20:51I'm in the medical corps
00:20:52Well, you feel strong enough
00:20:54Yeah
00:21:01Directing that operation on my own leg
00:21:02Was something I wouldn't want to go through again
00:21:16It took maybe 50 minutes
00:21:19But it seemed like 50 years
00:21:27Well, uh, thank you
00:21:29Well, it is finished
00:21:32And this is the object that caused all the trouble
00:21:36Such a small thing to give so much pain, eh?
00:21:39Thank you, Father
00:21:40How do you feel?
00:21:41Oh, better
00:21:42Much better
00:21:42And after a plate of Mary's soup, you'll feel even better still, eh, Mary?
00:21:46I'll get it
00:21:47Look, Father, I can't stay here
00:21:50But you're not fit to be moved at the moment
00:21:51But I'm a danger to all of you
00:21:53If the Germans find out that you're...
00:21:54Let that be my problem, eh?
00:21:56And now you must try to rest
00:21:58We have a strong Maquis organization here
00:22:00When you are fit enough, we will try to return you to your own lines
00:22:04Every day it will become an easier task
00:22:06Every day the Allies come nearer
00:22:08The last we heard, Dieppe and Rouen had fought
00:22:12And now, Mary, some of your admirable soup
00:22:14And if you can spare a third portion
00:22:20Who is it?
00:22:25Who's there?
00:22:26It's Annette
00:22:26It's Mary's niece
00:22:27She lives here
00:22:32Father LaRoche, what?
00:22:33An English soldier
00:22:34He has escaped from the Germans
00:22:36He will be staying here for a little while
00:22:37An English soldier?
00:22:39That's right
00:22:40This is Annette Morton
00:22:41I don't think you've told me your name
00:22:46Tom
00:22:46Tom Murray
00:22:48I'm Annette
00:22:50Are you badly hurt?
00:22:51Oh, no
00:22:52Thanks to Father LaRoche
00:22:53It might have been a lot worse
00:22:55I'm glad, very glad
00:22:56The Allies are going to win the war, aren't they?
00:22:59Well, we're trying
00:23:00You speak very good English
00:23:02Oh, I was taken to London
00:23:04For the school holidays before the war
00:23:06You like London?
00:23:07Very much
00:23:07So do I
00:23:10Would you like a cigarette?
00:23:14That was how my friendship with Annette started
00:23:17A mutual affection for London
00:23:20Our friendship grew rapidly
00:23:21The way friendships do
00:23:23When there's a war on
00:23:24And time is precious
00:23:26Meanwhile, my leg was mending
00:23:28I was growing stronger
00:23:31Stronger
00:23:33There, there you see
00:23:35Nearly well again
00:23:36Bravo
00:23:38Yes, I'm ready to leave
00:23:39Just as soon as it can be erased
00:23:43Oh, Annette
00:23:45Annette, I didn't mean it like that
00:23:47Don't think I'm not going to miss you
00:23:48And Marie
00:23:49And Father LaRoche
00:23:51You've all been so kind to me
00:23:52I'm really grateful to you all
00:23:54Especially to you, Annette
00:23:55Are you dumb?
00:23:56But you see
00:23:57I've got to get back to my unit
00:23:58There's a war still going on
00:24:00And I want to be part of it
00:24:01Besides, every day I spend here
00:24:03Is a danger to all of you
00:24:04You do understand, don't you?
00:24:05Yes, I understand
00:24:07I'm going to miss you
00:24:10I'm going to miss you most of all
00:24:16And you know
00:24:17When the war's over
00:24:18I'm going to come and visit you all again
00:24:20You won't recognize me
00:24:21When I put inside this uniform
00:24:23Then you'll really be able to show me
00:24:24To my bill
00:24:25That'll be something to look forward to
00:24:26Yes, something to look forward to
00:24:32I'll concede you, Tis
00:24:33You stay here
00:24:47Who's there?
00:24:48It's me, Per LaRoche
00:24:49Open up
00:24:50It's all right
00:24:50It's Per LaRoche
00:25:00Father, you've arrived at the opportune moment
00:25:02See, no stick
00:25:03Sounds as ever
00:25:04Good
00:25:04It is opportune in more ways than one
00:25:06What do you mean?
00:25:07The Americans are only 20 miles from here
00:25:09The time is ripe
00:25:10To try to return you to your own people
00:25:12When do I leave?
00:25:13Tonight, as soon as it is dark
00:25:15This is Roger
00:25:16Pierre is coming
00:25:17Bonjour
00:25:19They will escort you through the German lines
00:25:21Fine, fine
00:25:22At a mile from the American lines
00:25:23They will set you on the right path
00:25:25After that, you're on your own
00:25:27Where is Marie?
00:25:28She went into the village about an hour ago
00:25:30Tell her I will see her in a few days' time
00:25:32And now I have to go
00:25:33There are other things to attend to
00:25:35Goodbye, Tom
00:25:36Goodbye, Father
00:25:37I hope we'll meet again
00:25:38Perhaps after the war
00:25:39Or in heaven
00:25:40Who can tell?
00:25:41Thank you for everything
00:25:42Tonight I shall say a prayer for you
00:25:44That you may reach your own lines safely
00:25:46Thank you, Father
00:25:47God be with you
00:26:01I think the occasion goes for a glass of wine
00:26:24To your safe return
00:26:25Bon voyage
00:26:26Bon voyage
00:26:31To your innocence
00:26:32To your honeymoon
00:26:39Who is there?
00:26:40Aï¿½ï¿½ê² ìŠµë‹ˆë‹¤
00:26:44To yourlk
00:27:00Annette, what is it? What's happened?
00:27:02Did you give Marie a piece of English money?
00:27:04Yes.
00:27:05The Gestapo have found it and she's to be shot.
00:27:07Shot?
00:27:08They're on their way here now.
00:27:10Does it know how many are coming?
00:27:11Maybe it doesn't, maybe more.
00:27:15Get down, Annette!
00:27:16Keep away from her window and get down!
00:27:18We waited for the German patrol to arrive.
00:27:21In a matter of minutes, tragedy had struck the little French household
00:27:24and I didn't need any reminding that it was my fault.
00:27:33Annette, get down.
00:27:55He said something about the Englishman.
00:27:57What was it?
00:27:59Englishman, we know you are there.
00:28:02Come out and surrender and your friends will go unharmed.
00:28:08Stay where you are going.
00:28:09You heard what he said.
00:28:09It's a trick.
00:28:10But a net, I can't.
00:28:22You heard what he said.
00:28:24It was a trick.
00:28:28I'll go.
00:28:29I'll go.
00:28:32Let's move on.
00:28:32I'll go.
00:28:33Let's move on.
00:28:34halibut
00:28:34and let's go.
00:28:38Let's move on.
00:28:40Let's move on.
00:28:44Annette, Annette, don't stay here, get out of the back way, we'll cover you.
00:29:20Annette, Annette, you've got to get away from here.
00:29:22No, I'm not, it's not while they're still there.
00:29:30That settles it.
00:29:31We can't take the battle alone, we've got to make a break for it.
00:29:34The back way, get out the back way, I'll hold them up as long as I can.
00:29:37Get going.
00:29:38I'll follow, as soon as you are clear, I'll follow, but get going.
00:29:40Keep your head down.
00:29:46Get going, Annette, get going.
00:30:10I remembered nothing more until I awoke in the house of Paul Dassin.
00:30:20Annette, Annette, get out the back way.
00:30:25Get down, Annette.
00:30:26The patrol, the German patrol.
00:30:29There, there, they are all there, wiped out by the Marquis.
00:30:33Marquis?
00:30:34They've just brought you in.
00:30:36They find you in the woods behind the village and they brought you to my house.
00:30:39You'll be all right now.
00:30:40My name is Dassin.
00:30:42Dassin?
00:30:43That is correct.
00:30:44Paul Dassin.
00:30:46The others, what?
00:30:47What about the others?
00:30:49What?
00:30:51I'm afraid you were the only survivor.
00:30:54The only survivor.
00:30:57The only.
00:31:02An organ.
00:31:04I can hear an organ playing.
00:31:06It's the organ from the church across the way.
00:31:09Today, St. Bartholomew's day.
00:31:11St. Bartholomew?
00:31:35The rest of the story you know.
00:31:37The Americans liberated the town a week later and I was shipped back to England.
00:31:42I spent months in different hospitals.
00:31:44My mind was a blank most of the time.
00:31:46But what happened at Paul Dassin's place was still a closed door to me.
00:31:52I don't remember marrying you, Annette.
00:31:54Nevertheless, you did.
00:31:55Do you wish me to complete the story?
00:31:57Yes, I want to hear it.
00:32:00You were badly wounded when they brought you to Dassin's house.
00:32:03But your mind was clear, Tom.
00:32:05You were lucid and coherent.
00:32:06And when I turned up the next day...
00:32:08The last time I saw you was at that house in the village when you ran to get away through
00:32:11the back door.
00:32:11I did get away.
00:32:13I got away to the woods and laid low for hours.
00:32:16Then I met up with the other Mackie.
00:32:18They told me that you were alive and they had taken you to Dassin's place.
00:32:21So I made my way there and we were together again.
00:32:24I just don't remember.
00:32:25You asked me to marry you.
00:32:27You said that you loved me.
00:32:28No.
00:32:29No, I...
00:32:30Let her finish, Tom.
00:32:32The war affects people in strange ways.
00:32:36I was not in love with you.
00:32:38But I pitied you and I needed help too.
00:32:41So I married you.
00:32:43But look at...
00:32:44Miss, uh...
00:32:45Miss Montand.
00:32:46That was my maiden name.
00:32:48Miss Montand, you say Tom married you.
00:32:51Can you produce any evidence to support your statement?
00:32:54Well, there is Tom's ring.
00:32:59And, uh...
00:33:00This.
00:33:02A form of marriage certificate.
00:33:04Per Laroche wrote it himself.
00:33:06First in French, then in English.
00:33:08There are witnesses to the documents.
00:33:10Their names are there.
00:33:12Marriage took place between Sergeant Thomas Murray and Annette Montand, 22nd of August, 1944.
00:33:18Witnessed by Edouard Brudier and Paul Dassin.
00:33:21Brudier led the Amiens resistance.
00:33:24Paul Dassin, you know.
00:33:25Where are they now?
00:33:26I don't know.
00:33:28After I left the village, I...
00:33:29I never heard of them again.
00:33:31So you're asking us to believe this document is authentic?
00:33:34I assure you it is.
00:33:36Legally, I'm still Tom's wife.
00:33:37Why have you taken so long to contact me?
00:33:39This happened years ago.
00:33:41You said that you would come back for me.
00:33:43I waited for you.
00:33:44You didn't come.
00:33:46I'm not wealthy, and...
00:33:47It was not until recently that I had enough money to make the trip over to England
00:33:51to find you.
00:33:53I wanted to find you to see what had happened.
00:33:55Now that you've found him, what now?
00:33:58Things have become complicated.
00:34:01Yes, I know.
00:34:02Bigamy.
00:34:03No court would convict you under the circumstances.
00:34:05Oh, I'm not worried about the courts.
00:34:06I'm worried about the newspapers.
00:34:08Can you imagine the kind of story they're going to make out of this?
00:34:10Doctor deserts Warbright.
00:34:12It would stick to me for life.
00:34:14Yes, but surely...
00:34:15I'm a doctor, Chris.
00:34:16A scandal like this would probably finish me.
00:34:18Oh, maybe I could weather it alone, but that's you to consider.
00:34:21You and your family.
00:34:21The scandal sheets would pounce on it.
00:34:23But I'd stand by you.
00:34:24That's no way to start a marriage.
00:34:27Headlines at all the newspapers.
00:34:30Our private lives will be turned into a public joke.
00:34:33What makes you think the papers would get hold of it?
00:34:35No, they always do.
00:34:37Well, very well, then.
00:34:39We must consider the situation logically.
00:34:41You say you're not in love with Tom.
00:34:44Never have been.
00:34:45I was very young when I met Tom.
00:34:47Young, impressionable.
00:34:49There was a war on.
00:34:50No.
00:34:51I do not love him.
00:34:53Then you must let Tom arrange a divorce.
00:34:56In France, without publicity, without fuss.
00:34:59Then he and I can be quietly remarried.
00:35:02As the long separation, anyway, constitutes desertion.
00:35:04Just a moment.
00:35:05Aren't you forgetting something?
00:35:07Perhaps I do not want a divorce.
00:35:09Not want it?
00:35:10But you said yourself you're not in love with him.
00:35:13No.
00:35:14I'm quite willing to give him a divorce, but on my terms.
00:35:18Terms?
00:35:19What kind of terms?
00:35:21Well, life has not been easy for me since the end of the war.
00:35:24I have known what it is to go hungry and beg for food.
00:35:28But you seem to have plenty.
00:35:30What kind of terms?
00:35:31A cash settlement.
00:35:33I'll sign any papers that are necessary and you'll never see me again.
00:35:37You want to capitalize on the fact that Tom's mime was injured during the war.
00:35:41Wait a minute, Chris.
00:35:43How much do you want?
00:35:45I've learned a little about you, Tom.
00:35:47You're on the way to a brilliant career.
00:35:49How much?
00:35:50Ten thousand pounds.
00:35:52In cash.
00:35:53Ten thousand?
00:35:54Yes.
00:35:55Do you honestly think I've got that kind of money?
00:35:58I think you could raise it if you had to.
00:36:00And I think you have to.
00:36:02Supposing we refuse?
00:36:04Any court of law would grant Tom a divorce.
00:36:06Would they?
00:36:07That's a risk you have to take.
00:36:09And then there would be the newspapers.
00:36:11I'm sure that I could find one willing to buy my story.
00:36:15You would get a lot of publicity, Tom, and I would get the money.
00:36:18You realize what you're doing is blackmail?
00:36:21I prefer to call it a business arrangement.
00:36:23I'm not paying you a penny.
00:36:24Not one penny.
00:36:25Aren't you, Tom?
00:36:27We'd better think it over.
00:36:31Medical bigamist.
00:36:32That would make a very pretty headline.
00:36:35And supposing your divorce action failed.
00:36:38Legally, I would still be your wife.
00:36:40And you would be unable to marry this young lady.
00:36:45It's no use, Crystal.
00:36:47I'll have to do as she says.
00:36:50Look, you'll have to give me time to raise that much money.
00:36:53You can have one week.
00:36:54No longer.
00:36:55Oh, but look, 10,000 pounds.
00:36:57One week or I go to the newspapers.
00:37:00When you have the money, you can reach me at this address.
00:37:07Remember, Tom?
00:37:0810,000 pounds in cash in a week's time.
00:37:15Oh, well, I think I'd best stay at my place until all this has been settled.
00:37:19What about your mother?
00:37:20I'm afraid you'll have to know the truth.
00:37:22Do you really intend to pay that money?
00:37:24I've got to, Chris.
00:37:25There's no other way.
00:37:26Yes, but where will you get it?
00:37:27Oh, I'll get it somehow.
00:37:29You mean we'll get it?
00:37:30I'm going to ask mother.
00:37:32No, no, this is my problem, Chris.
00:37:33I'm not going to drag your family into it.
00:37:34What will you do?
00:37:36Oh, I don't know.
00:37:38Sell what I can, borrow the rest.
00:37:40I've got some securities.
00:37:42Anyway, I've got to think about it.
00:37:44I'll tell your mother and then I'll get going.
00:37:46No, I'll tell her.
00:37:47Better that way.
00:37:49Mark, don't you think we ought to go in?
00:37:51It's been such a long time.
00:37:53Oh, Tom, my dear boy.
00:37:55Sorry to break up the party like that, Mrs. Ervin.
00:37:57Oh, it's time, avoidable.
00:37:58No one was to blame.
00:37:58Now, if you come into the drawing room.
00:37:59No, no, I'm going back to my place.
00:38:01Of course, whatever you say.
00:38:03Jessup, will you put Miss Christine's luggage in the car, please?
00:38:05Yes, and I know, Jessup, Chris won't be going with me.
00:38:08Not going with you.
00:38:10Chris, what does he mean?
00:38:12What's he talking about?
00:38:13Mother, something has happened.
00:38:14Something you must know about.
00:38:16I can't understand.
00:38:17Well, I'll try to explain.
00:38:19Will you call me?
00:38:20Yes, yes, I'll ring you.
00:38:23I think this rates some sort of explanation, don't you?
00:38:25Mark, will you come with me?
00:38:26I'll tell you about it in the time.
00:38:27I think you'd better.
00:38:54I'll tell you about it in the time.
00:39:16I'll tell you about it in the time.
00:39:28Oh, Tom, has anything happened?
00:39:30Oh, nothing, darling.
00:39:31I'm just sitting over here in my place.
00:39:33But I've come to a decision.
00:39:34What kind of decision?
00:39:35Well, we accepted what Annette said far too easily, Chris.
00:39:39Maybe I was right.
00:39:40Maybe I don't remember marrying her because it never happened.
00:39:42Yes, but how can you hope to prove that?
00:39:44Well, first thing tomorrow morning, I'm going down to the French embassy.
00:39:47I'm going to try and trace the three witnesses in that marriage certificate.
00:39:50I'm not going to take this lying down, Chris.
00:40:00Dr. Murray, this is an unusual request.
00:40:03You realize?
00:40:04I know that, but you've got to help me.
00:40:06I must locate them.
00:40:08The three men you mentioned here are all French citizens?
00:40:11Yes, yes, they are.
00:40:12But I don't quite know where they live in France.
00:40:14And do you want me to trace them for you?
00:40:16Why?
00:40:18Well, they helped me to escape from the Germans during the war.
00:40:22I owe them a debt and I want to repay them.
00:40:24How, monsieur?
00:40:25Well, in a few weeks' time, I'm traveling to France.
00:40:28A holiday, you understand.
00:40:30It'll be my first visit to your country since the war.
00:40:32Well, I want to visit these old friends, renew my acquaintance, reward them in some way.
00:40:38Monsieur Berlach, you must understand.
00:40:40I think I understand your feelings.
00:40:45Uh, Edouard Broudier, Paul Dassin, Father Laroche.
00:40:50You said they were living in Normandy.
00:40:52As far as I know, yes.
00:40:54Father Laroche's parish was in Dumaville.
00:40:56It may be difficult to trace them.
00:40:59Perhaps impossible.
00:41:00It was such a long time ago.
00:41:02Well, they were all active in the resistance movement.
00:41:04Perhaps war records might show something.
00:41:07Potence, Ruff.
00:41:08It may help.
00:41:10Very well, monsieur.
00:41:11I will do my best to help you.
00:41:13Oh, thank you.
00:41:15They will ring Paris and check now.
00:41:16But it may take some time.
00:41:19Why not come back this afternoon?
00:41:21Oh, thank you.
00:41:22Thank you very much.
00:41:23Dr. Malay.
00:41:24Bye.
00:41:30Monsieur Berlach, voilà ce que vous avez demandé.
00:41:33Ah, merci, Charon.
00:41:35We have traced two of the men you named.
00:41:38Yes.
00:41:38Édouard Broutier.
00:41:40It seems he emigrated to America in 1947.
00:41:44Assumed American citizenship.
00:41:46We have no further information of him.
00:41:49I see.
00:41:50Well, you say you've traced two.
00:41:52What about the other man?
00:41:53Father Laroche.
00:41:54Oh, Laroche, where is he?
00:41:55Where can I find him?
00:41:56He was a good friend of yours?
00:41:57Yes.
00:41:58He was a true man of the resistance.
00:42:01A true maquis.
00:42:02Was?
00:42:03He's dead.
00:42:04I'm sorry.
00:42:06Laroche, dead.
00:42:07He was killed by the Gestapo.
00:42:09I see.
00:42:10It is regrettable.
00:42:13And, uh, what about the third man, Paul Dassin?
00:42:16Uh, pas d'information sur Dassin?
00:42:18Oui, oui.
00:42:19Il a quitté Amiens après la guerre.
00:42:20Oh.
00:42:21It seems he left Amiens right after the war.
00:42:24Uh, we will do our best to trace him, but you'll try.
00:42:27Oh, men, after all, monsieur.
00:42:29Well, look, if you get any information on him,
00:42:31I wonder if you'd mind ringing me at this number.
00:42:35Laroche, dead.
00:42:37Prudy, untraceable.
00:42:39Dassin's our only hope.
00:42:41Well, the embassy are trying to locate him.
00:42:43They're trying.
00:42:44That's no guarantee that they will.
00:42:46Things will work out.
00:42:47Will they?
00:42:48Either we start our marriage as a front-page joke
00:42:51or with a £10,000 debt around her neck.
00:42:53And the worst thing about it is
00:42:54I don't even know if Annette's telling the truth or not.
00:42:56Oh, Tom, please don't.
00:42:57Chris, when you came into my life,
00:42:59I realised what it was really to be in love with someone
00:43:01for the first time.
00:43:02Surely I'd have known if I'd had that experience before.
00:43:04Darling, there was a war on then.
00:43:06Things were different.
00:43:06Is Annette taking me for a fool or not?
00:43:08Did I marry her?
00:43:09I tell you, Chris, it's driving me crazy if I only knew.
00:43:11Maybe you will.
00:43:13If they find that.
00:43:14Oh, if, if, if I'm tired of it.
00:43:16I want something positive, something concrete.
00:43:18Something I can say.
00:43:19That is true.
00:43:19That is an indisputable fact.
00:43:21Oh, Tom, stop torturing yourself.
00:43:28Hello.
00:43:29Yes, yes, this is Dr. Murray.
00:43:30Oh, Dr. Murray, I have good news for you.
00:43:33We have located Paul Dassin.
00:43:35You have?
00:43:36He's still alive.
00:43:36Oui, he's still alive.
00:43:38He lives in Paris at present.
00:43:40It seems he runs a small export business.
00:43:43Well, look, have you got an address?
00:43:45Oh, one of it, please.
00:43:46Paper.
00:43:48Yes, yes, I'm ready.
00:43:49Okay, 71A, Avenue La Fontaine.
00:43:57A-I-N-E.
00:43:59Well, thank you, Mr. Bellack.
00:44:00Thank you very much for all your help.
00:44:02Goodbye.
00:44:0671A, Avenue La Fontaine.
00:44:09Is Paul there?
00:44:11Yes, he's still alive.
00:44:13The one man who can tell me the truth.
00:44:16I've got to know Chris no matter what it is.
00:44:23Hello, Continental Enquiries.
00:44:25I want to put a call through to Paris.
00:44:27Yes, yes, Paris.
00:44:28To a Monsieur Paul Dassin.
00:44:31D-A-S-S-I-N.
00:44:32Dassin.
00:44:33I haven't got a number, but the address is 71A, Avenue La Fontaine.
00:44:38La Fontaine.
00:44:40That's right.
00:44:41Oh, my number's Grosvenor 2925, and the name is Murray.
00:44:44You'll call me back?
00:44:46Fine, thank you.
00:44:51Oh, Tom, for heaven's sake, relax.
00:44:53Oh, I can't, Chris.
00:44:54I...
00:45:00Hello, yes?
00:45:02Oh, put them through, please.
00:45:04This is it, Chris.
00:45:05Oh, hello.
00:45:06Is that Monsieur Paul Dassin's residence?
00:45:10Do you speak English?
00:45:12Oh, good.
00:45:13Could I speak to Monsieur Dassin, please?
00:45:16Will you please ask Monsieur Dassin to come to the telephone?
00:45:21He's not there.
00:45:23Well, where is he?
00:45:24Where can I reach him?
00:45:27Where?
00:45:29Well, look, do you know where he'll be staying?
00:45:32Will you repeat that, please?
00:45:35Oh, merci.
00:45:36Merci, madame.
00:45:37Goodbye.
00:45:39Well?
00:45:40Paul got a plane to London three hours ago.
00:45:42He should be here now.
00:45:43Did they say where he'd stay?
00:45:44The Vine Court Hotel, here in London.
00:45:46So what are you going to do?
00:45:47Well, I'll take you home for a start.
00:45:48And then?
00:45:50Then on to Paul Dassin.
00:45:51I'll know whether or not I'll have to find 10,000 pounds.
00:45:54Come on, Chris.
00:45:54Let's get going.
00:45:55Let's get going.
00:46:25Au revoir.
00:46:27Hello, Paul.
00:46:30It's been a long time, eh?
00:46:32Tom!
00:46:33Tom, my!
00:46:34Is it really you?
00:46:35In the flesh?
00:46:36Ah, ça, alors.
00:46:37Se retrouver comme ça ici après tant d'années.
00:46:39Tom, oh, my God!
00:46:39Hey, hey, hey, I don't understand the lingo.
00:46:41Oh, forgive me, but this is such a shock, a surprise.
00:46:44The last time I saw you, you were ill.
00:46:46I'm glad to see you've made such a good recovery.
00:46:48Oh, there was only a memory now.
00:46:49Yes, just a bad memory.
00:46:51The old scars have healed.
00:46:54But why are we spending here talking?
00:46:56Come on, sit down.
00:46:57Make yourself at home.
00:46:58Wait a minute.
00:46:59I have a good bottle of cognac in my case.
00:47:01One the customs didn't see.
00:47:04Ah, did you know where to find me?
00:47:06Oh, I wanted to see you.
00:47:07I located you through the French embassy over here.
00:47:10Telephoned you in Paris, and your housekeeper told me the rest.
00:47:13I hear you're doing all right for yourself.
00:47:14No.
00:47:14I run a small export business.
00:47:17It's a living no more.
00:47:18And you?
00:47:19What about you, Tom?
00:47:20I'm a doctor now.
00:47:21And you are having success?
00:47:23Well, I know where I'm going.
00:47:24I'm sure you do.
00:47:26Ah, Tom, it's good to see you.
00:47:29Your health.
00:47:31And yours, Paul.
00:47:37You've changed very little, you know.
00:47:39After they shipped me back, was it so tough?
00:47:42Well, you know, we were liberated.
00:47:44But it made a small difference.
00:47:46France suffered much.
00:47:48We were bound together by poverty.
00:47:49Children still went hungry.
00:47:51But don't let's talk of the war.
00:47:53Oh, but I want to talk about it.
00:47:54Let's talk of the good things, then.
00:47:56At the little party we gave you before you left.
00:47:58You remember?
00:47:59Oh, boy, what a party.
00:48:01No, Paul, I don't remember.
00:48:02You are joking.
00:48:03I'm deadly serious, Paul.
00:48:05After they brought me to your house, my mind blanked out.
00:48:07I lost my memory.
00:48:08I can only remember snatches of what happened.
00:48:10Really?
00:48:11That's why I'm here.
00:48:12I want you to try and help me fill in the blank spots.
00:48:15What shall I say?
00:48:16Well, how long was I at your house?
00:48:19About 10 days.
00:48:22And Annette was there?
00:48:24Yeah, Annette.
00:48:25Fool, I forgot to ask.
00:48:27How is Annette?
00:48:28How is she?
00:48:28How would I know?
00:48:30How would you know?
00:48:31You married her.
00:48:32You should know.
00:48:34Oh, no, Tom.
00:48:35You don't forget that also.
00:48:37You don't forget that you married Annette.
00:48:39But how can a man forget his own wedding?
00:48:41Surely you must remember.
00:48:43We were all there.
00:48:44Edouard Brudier, Per Laroche.
00:48:46I, myself, was a witness.
00:48:46I don't remember anything about it, Paul.
00:48:49This is a terrible thing, Tom.
00:48:51I thought perhaps you would tell me that.
00:48:55Tell you what?
00:48:58Oh, it doesn't matter, no.
00:49:02Nothing matters.
00:49:12They let me have a thousand pound overdraft.
00:49:15It's a start.
00:49:20One thousand overdraft.
00:49:23Two fifty.
00:49:25Two fifty.
00:49:27Seven hundred contents of flat.
00:49:30Two thousand Dr. Manson.
00:49:32Fifteen hundred life insurance.
00:49:35Two thousand five hundred credit at bank.
00:49:38Fifty.
00:49:39A hundred.
00:49:41Six fifty car.
00:49:43One thousand loan.
00:49:45No, no, no, no.
00:49:46Two, three, four, five.
00:49:48Ten thousand.
00:50:02Well, there it is.
00:50:04Ten thousand pounds and I'm in hock to my eyebrows.
00:50:07Tom, you know, it isn't too late to change your mind.
00:50:11Fight back.
00:50:11Let her take it into open court.
00:50:14No, no, Chris.
00:50:15I'm not going to drag your name through all that.
00:50:17No, I'm going to hand this money over to Annette and she's going to sign this paper renouncing
00:50:21all claim on me.
00:50:22That's the way it's going to be.
00:50:24Until the divorce is settled, legally, I'm a bigamist.
00:50:27But as soon as Annette signs this paper, I'm going to my solicitor, telling him the whole
00:50:30story and perhaps he'll be able to straighten things out quietly.
00:50:34I'm going to be so glad when this is all over.
00:50:36Oh, it will be, my darling, soon.
00:50:38Then we'll go together somewhere and be remarried quietly.
00:50:42I want to forget the whole thing now.
00:50:45Funny, isn't it?
00:50:46Now I want to forget it.
00:50:47Oh, stop looking at your watch.
00:50:48She'll be here.
00:50:49You've phoned her.
00:50:53I'll get it.
00:50:58Hello, Strong.
00:50:59Come in.
00:51:04Hello, Miss Irving.
00:51:09I didn't expect to hear from you so soon.
00:51:11I want only one thing, to get this over as quickly as possible, and this seemed to be
00:51:15the only way.
00:51:17It's all here.
00:51:18You better count it.
00:51:19Oh, I don't think that'll be necessary.
00:51:21I trust you.
00:51:22After all, you are my husband.
00:51:23Ah, not so fast.
00:51:25You haven't fulfilled your side of the bargain.
00:51:27You've got to sign this.
00:51:28What's that?
00:51:29A safeguard against you blackmailing me again.
00:51:31You give up all claim on me and admit desertion.
00:51:34I'll need it for a divorce.
00:51:36Read the details carefully.
00:51:37They're all there.
00:51:40Very well.
00:51:45You see, I keep my bargain.
00:51:49I'll take your money and get out of here.
00:51:51Aren't you going to offer me a drink?
00:51:52The contents of that case will buy you a million drinks.
00:51:55Get out.
00:52:02At least, uh, we can part on friendly terms.
00:52:08Goodbye, Tom.
00:52:13Well, I need a drink.
00:52:16Doesn't seem possible.
00:52:18In the space of a few days, I've become a poor man.
00:52:20A man with a burden of debts.
00:52:23It's going to be tough, Chris.
00:52:24Tougher still than you.
00:52:25Oh, we'll get by.
00:52:27Yeah.
00:52:28What's this?
00:52:29Oh, I don't know.
00:52:30Must have come in the mail this morning.
00:52:31From the French embassy.
00:52:33Don't you think you ought to see what's inside?
00:52:35Oh, why?
00:52:36It can't help me now.
00:52:37Oh, open it if you like.
00:52:47It's from Monsieur Binach.
00:52:49Oh, he's the man who helped me to contact Paul.
00:52:52He's enclosed official report on Father LaRoche's death.
00:52:54Oh, yes?
00:52:56I thought perhaps you would like to have it, as you and Father LaRoche were such good
00:53:00friends.
00:53:01He died a true patriot.
00:53:03That was very kind of him, Tom.
00:53:05I suppose so.
00:53:06Does it say anything about LaRoche?
00:53:08He was awarded the Légion d'honneur.
00:53:11Did you know that?
00:53:12Oh, LaRoche wasn't a man to talk about his accomplishments, but it sounds like him.
00:53:15The British and Americans gave him posthumous decorations.
00:53:19Must have been a very courageous man.
00:53:21Oh, he was.
00:53:22I owe my life to him.
00:53:24The Gestapo shot him on the morning of Friday the 24th of August, 1944.
00:53:30His last words were Victor Maurior.
00:53:33What does that mean, Tom?
00:53:35Oh, something about I die victorious.
00:53:37I die victorious.
00:53:41Wish I could have met him.
00:53:42Oh, you would have liked him, Chris.
00:53:44Everybody did.
00:53:44He was a wonderful man.
00:53:47Does it say how the Germans got on to him?
00:53:49Oh, he was betrayed by an informer.
00:53:52LaRoche had planned for a mass attack by the Mackie on vital German installations.
00:53:56The attack to coincide with and be singled by the commencement of St. Bartholomew's day.
00:54:01The Gestapo learned of this and arrested LaRoche before he could set his plan into operation.
00:54:05He was arrested on the night of the 23rd of August and shot by a firing squad the next morning.
00:54:11All villagers had run down in your mourn to his death.
00:54:15How terrible it must have been for him, that night, with so much ahead, to hear a knock on the
00:54:21door and know that you've been betrayed to the Gestapo.
00:54:26St. Bartholomew's day.
00:54:28Wait a minute, Chris.
00:54:32What did you say about St. Bartholomew's day?
00:54:33Well, it must be the signal for the attack.
00:54:36The attack to coincide with and to be signaled by the commencement of St. Bartholomew's day.
00:54:40What's the matter?
00:54:42Father LaRoche was arrested on August the 23rd, right?
00:54:45So the next day was St. Bartholomew's day.
00:54:47The 24th of August.
00:54:51Don't you see what that means, Chris?
00:54:53Remember I told you about being blown up in that house in the village and Arthur was waking up at
00:54:56Paul's house?
00:54:56I had no idea of time.
00:54:58My mind was unhinged.
00:54:59Days, months, years.
00:55:00They were meaningless to me.
00:55:01What are you trying to prove?
00:55:02Well, I heard music, remember?
00:55:03An organ.
00:55:04And when I asked Paul about it, he said they were celebrating St. Bartholomew's day.
00:55:07Yes, but...
00:55:07So the date was August the 24th.
00:55:10I was taken to Paul's house on August the 24th.
00:55:12So?
00:55:13But Annette said I married her after I was taken to Paul's house.
00:55:15And she spoke the truth and I married her after August the 24th.
00:55:18But Father Laroche was dead by then, shot cut by the Gestapo.
00:55:21He couldn't have performed the ceremony.
00:55:22Don, what about the marriage certificate?
00:55:24Dated the 22nd.
00:55:25It was a fake.
00:55:26It had to be because I definitely woke up at Paul's house on August the 24th.
00:55:29Are you sure about this?
00:55:30Of course I'm sure.
00:55:31It's one of the few things I do remember clearly.
00:55:33Waking up and hearing music and Paul saying they were playing the organ in the church because it was St.
00:55:37Bartholomew's day.
00:55:38Well, if this is true...
00:55:40Then Paul was lying too.
00:55:42Then he and Annette are in this together.
00:55:44The money.
00:55:44We've got to get that money.
00:56:07There's only one place you could have gone.
00:56:31You got it?
00:56:32Yes, it's in here.
00:56:39$10,000.
00:56:41$10,000 in cold cash.
00:56:44He didn't suspect anything?
00:56:46Not that I could tell.
00:56:48Good, good.
00:56:49It's worked perfectly.
00:56:52He was prepared to kick back until I confirmed his worst fears.
00:56:56Paul, is everything else fixed?
00:56:59As soon as you called me, I made reservations at the airport.
00:57:02Flight leaves in just over two hours.
00:57:05We'll be in Barcelona by 6.30.
00:57:07And then?
00:57:08And then we cover the trail.
00:57:10Barcelona to Gibraltar, boat to Tangiers, and from there, a plane to the States.
00:57:15Suppose...
00:57:15Suppose he finds out?
00:57:19Listen, Shane.
00:57:20Maybe he will find out.
00:57:22When he starts to sue for divorce, the lawyers will check back.
00:57:24Maybe a smart one will find out we fooled him.
00:57:27But by then, you and I will be far away.
00:57:29In America.
00:57:30You make everything sound so easy.
00:57:32But it is easy.
00:57:33A pushover.
00:57:35I got it all figured.
00:57:37Right from the moment I saw that announcement about Tom getting married.
00:57:41Wasn't that a break?
00:57:42Picking up a British newspaper in Paris and reading about Tom that way.
00:57:47Ten thousand right in my lap.
00:57:49More money than I ever saw in my whole life.
00:57:53Paul.
00:57:55You didn't mean what you said about marrying me when we go to America.
00:57:58Sure I meant it.
00:58:00Sure, Cherie.
00:58:01Because I don't like what we have done.
00:58:03I never did like it.
00:58:05You are a sentimentalist.
00:58:07I didn't do it for the money.
00:58:08I did it for you.
00:58:09Oh, I know you did, Cherie.
00:58:11Fair.
00:58:13I know you did.
00:58:14Now, what about a drink, eh?
00:58:16We've got a little time to kill.
00:58:18And anyway, we've got something to celebrate.
00:58:26Well, let's hope they're still here.
00:58:27No, Chris.
00:58:28This is my job.
00:58:29Oh, well, I'm coming with you.
00:58:30You're staying right here.
00:58:31Right here.
00:58:37Now, what shall we drink, too?
00:58:39Are you a success?
00:58:40No.
00:58:41Let's drink to us.
00:58:43Right.
00:58:44To us.
00:58:45And to the day we met again in Paris.
00:58:50Come on, cheer up, Annette.
00:58:52This is a time for gaieté, celebration.
00:58:55What's that?
00:58:57Relax.
00:58:58It's probably the porter.
00:59:00I asked him to pick up my luggage.
00:59:06Hello, Paul.
00:59:08Tom.
00:59:11You're leaving without saying goodbye to an old friend.
00:59:17You fool.
00:59:18I told you to make sure you weren't followed.
00:59:20Don't put the blame on Annette, Paul.
00:59:21It rests on your shoulders.
00:59:22You're the one who made the mistake.
00:59:24What mistake?
00:59:25I didn't make any mistake.
00:59:26Oh, but you did.
00:59:27Way back in 1944, when they carried me into your house.
00:59:29You spoke of St. Bartholomew's day.
00:59:31That day happens to fall on August the 24th.
00:59:34What about it?
00:59:34I remembered something.
00:59:36And the story that you and Annette cooked up fell to pieces.
00:59:38You relied on me having no knowledge of time or dates, didn't you?
00:59:41That's why you dated the certificate the 22nd.
00:59:44Even if I found out that La Roche was killed on the 24th,
00:59:47there was nothing to refute that I might have been carried into your house before that date.
00:59:51Nothing but St. Bartholomew.
00:59:53I told you something would go wrong.
00:59:54Oh, shut up.
00:59:56What's the matter, Paul?
00:59:58Scared of me?
00:59:59Scared of an old comrade?
01:00:01Listen, Tom, listen.
01:00:02It's a misunderstanding.
01:00:03I'm your friend.
01:00:03I don't want to fight you.
01:00:19No, Tom, he's had enough.
01:00:21I'm blackmailing.
01:00:21He's getting off lately.
01:00:24Here, take your money and go.
01:00:26Go and leave us alone.
01:00:27No, Annette.
01:00:31Bring the money over to me.
01:00:32Paul, you don't know what you're doing.
01:00:34I know just what I'm doing.
01:00:36Bring the case over to me, Annette.
01:00:37Put that gun away, Paul.
01:00:38Well, take the money and go.
01:00:45Just a minute, miss.
01:00:47You can't park there, you know.
01:00:48Oh, please, look, can you help me?
01:00:49I think someone's just been shot.
01:00:51Shot?
01:00:51Yes, my husband.
01:00:52He went in there to get some money back from a man who swindled him.
01:00:54Well, now I've heard the shot.
01:00:56Oh, look, you must help me.
01:00:57Yes, but...
01:00:58Look, please, he may have been killed.
01:00:59You've got to come with me.
01:01:01All right, miss.
01:01:02Cover the side entrance.
01:01:06Get up!
01:01:11The bag.
01:01:13Give me the bag.
01:01:23You're crazy if you think you're going to...
01:01:24Now move over to the door.
01:01:26Move!
01:01:29Lock the door.
01:01:31And give me the key.
01:01:35The key, Tom.
01:01:47It's the right way you are.
01:01:48I don't advise you to try anything.
01:01:55Let me go.
01:01:56Let me go.
01:01:56Let me go.
01:01:58Let me go.
01:01:58Let me go.
01:02:02Let me go.
01:02:03Let me go.
01:02:04Let me go.
01:02:05Let me go.
01:02:07Let me go.
01:02:08Let me go.
01:02:08Let me go.
01:02:08Let me go.
01:02:09Let me go.
01:02:09Let me go.
01:02:09Let me go.
01:02:09Let me go.
01:02:12Let me go.
01:02:13I don't know.
01:03:00Tom, are you all right?
01:03:02Yeah, yeah, I'm all right.
01:03:09Annette.
01:03:12Tom, I did it for him.
01:03:17You'll have to come down to the station, sir, to make a statement.
01:03:21Yes, I'm ready.
01:03:23I'm coming with you.
01:03:25Who are you, miss?
01:03:27I'm Mrs. Thomas Murray.
01:03:29I'm Dr. Murray.
01:03:31This is my wife.
