...yours, we sincerely trust, will be

the only name they know.

It follows that your greatest

protection will be your cover.

Soon, you'll transform

yourself from who you are now...

... into somebody entirely different.

Please, Mommy, I'm fine.

If a bomb's got my name on it,

a bomb's got my name on it.

- I'm back.

- I'm not leaving London.

- Oh, Charlotte, hello.

- Bye.

- What's this course you've been on?

- FANYs. First Aid...

I know what they are.

Are you a driver?

Oh, I expect so, yes.

So why do you need to go on a course?

I'm not really supposed to say.

You never know who's listening.

Liar.

You can't drive.

Got me.

- Pilot Officer Borowski?

- Yes.

- It's Miss Gray. We met at the party.

- Oh, Miss Gray.

Yes, I'm looking for Peter.

I was expecting to see him last night.

Oh, right. Peter, yes.

Look, sorry.

We think he went down over France.

But don't give up hope.

You know Peter, he's a fighter.

We should know more in a few days.

Can you call me back?

Miss Gray, are you all right?

Why is your name down for France?

Only one in three come back.

I want to help win the war.

And being a courier

in France is glamorous?

- I'd be pretty silly to think that.

- A lot of women do.

Is there something wrong with that?

Your father fought in the Great War,

is that right?

Would you say

you're trying to impress him?

Why should I?

But your father

introduced you to France.

- Took you to visit the war graves?

- Yes.

- And your mother?

- I don't see why...

...you're asking questions

when you know the answers.

Do you find it easy

to form attachments?

- On average.

- Have you ever been in love?

Yes, I have.

Of these, which, in your view,

is the most important:

Faith, hope or love?

Hope.

On the double! Chop-chop!

Look lively! Come on!

Come on, now, girls!

Last one eats a lemon!

Come on, ladies!

This is the finish line!

- Miss Gray? I've got news of Peter.

- You have?

They made radio contact last night.

Where was this?

- I'm not really...

- Please. I promise I won't say.

All right, listen.

It's a place called Gillesse.

- Don't tell anyone I told...

- I understand.

- lf this got out...

- No, I understand.

- Thank you so much for telling me.

- All right.

Thank you.

- Someone's coming. I've got to go.

- All right.

Identity card. Ration card.

Certificate of non-belonging to the

Jewish race. Husband's photo...

...and friends'.

Lipstick. Sanitary towels, French.

- Lighter. Fillings?

- Done.

Cigarettes.

Favorite perfume.

And no caf crme. They haven't

had it for a year. Wedding ring.

- Dominique.

- Clear.

For your English contact...

...Mirabel.
