- Is it far to walk?

- Oh! Airmen don't like to walk!

No, rest assured,

you'll have a car.

We'll drive you

straight to the plane.

- Just like an AirFrance flight, okay?

- Okay.

There we go.

That'll do for tonight.

- I'll change it for you tomorrow.

- Thank you very much.

I'm feeling much better.

Right, I'm off to bed.

Wake me so that

I can say goodbye to Sandy.

Not goodbye Stphane...

"see you", I hope.

Goodnight.

And thank you for the dressing.

It's been a long time

since I've had a smoke. Since Reims.

Reims? Yes, I know.

You'd have been better off

not lighting your cigarette.

It did you no favours.

Not to me, but Stphane.

He was the one who went

to the Caf de Commerce in Reims.

Reims? You mean

the Caf des Maronniers.

No, Caf de Commerce.

I read the instructions too.

And I remember it distinctly.

Ah, Caf du Commerce?

That's where this Vichy chap

noticed Stphane.

Then he followed him,

right into the wine cellar.

- Is that the car?

- Yes, yes.

Right. I'll say goodbye

to Stphane.

Please tell your father

I'll be there right away.

Tell me, when you left Stphane,

he gave you a letter, didn't he?

Yes, sir.

And he asked you

to give it to someone here,

in case his departure

was delayed, isn't that so?

Yes, that's right too.

- But how do you know?

- I already told you, I'm very intelligent.

- Have you delivered this letter?

- Yes, sir.

Can you tell me

the recipient's name and address?

I'm very sorry, sir, but I can't.

I gave my word of honour.

Sergeant, I must warn you

that you should consider

this question an order.

Yes, sir. I see.

But this is not a military matter.

Naturally, we can't force you to tell us

what you don't want to tell us.

This is not the Gestapo here.

But I think I can convince you

that you have a duty

beyond your military duty,

and to tell us everything you know,

despite your word of honour.

I'm sorry,

but I really don't think so, sir.

Of course,

after everything you've told me.

You'll think I'm mad or a fool

if I told you

that your friend, Godovsky,

was an officer of the Gestapo.

Yes, sir. I...

Your friend Godovsky,

was not Godovsky at all.

The real Godovsky is still

a prisoner of war in Germany.

In reality, your friend Godovsky

looked very much like the real Godovsky.

And that's why

the Germans chose him for this job.

The Gestapo are very clever,

you see, old boy.

So clever, that it was they

who organised your escape

in collaboration

with the Godovsky impostor, naturally.

I'm afraid that you have been

terribly misinformed, sir.

I see this is not going to be easy.

I'm going to tell you

the end of your story.

It is not for nothing

that I asked you
