00:00The Nazis are stealing art from Amsterdam, from Warsaw, and from Paris.
00:05The French are hiding it, the Germans are finding it, and taking it.
00:10Claire Simon is based on a real-life woman called Rose Vallon.
00:15She was a curator at the Jeu de Pomme, which was the Museum for Contemporary Art.
00:20This turned out to be the headquarters for the Nazi looting operation in Paris.
00:24Claire, we need another champagne glass.
00:27We miss you.
00:28Her hatred of the Nazis was absolute.
00:31She was watching all of these Nazi leaders choose the art and send it off to different places.
00:37And this here will be a gift for our captain to Berchtesgaden.
00:41She catalogued thousands of pieces of art in unbelievable detail.
00:45She would have been killed immediately if it was discovered that she was doing this.
00:48You won't be fired. You'll be handed over to the SS. Is that clear to you?
00:52Do as you wish.
00:54The Monuments Men know the work's disappearing, but they don't know where it's going to.
00:58She didn't want to help the Americans find it because she thought they wouldn't give it back.
01:02Matt's character has to win her trust.
01:04It's her way of thinking, why should I tell you where the art is?
01:06There's a real fear on the part of the French that the works were going to either go to Russian
01:11collectors or go to the United States.
01:13Did it really matter whether it was stolen by the Germans, the Russians, or the Americans?
01:19For her, it's about protecting the art.
01:22Where do they take the art?
01:25Cate Blanchett is an international treasure.
01:28There's never a moment that you think, this is one of the great actresses of the world, even though she
01:32is.
01:32She's just Cate.
01:33She just has this chameleon-like ability to inhabit other people.
01:38That's great.
01:39Rose Vallon saved castle loads of works of art.
01:44The fact that she was working single-handedly was an act of extraordinary bravery.
01:49If it weren't for us, you'd be speaking German.
01:51If it wasn't for you, I might be dead.
01:53But I would still be speaking French.
