The Secret Invasion Page #2

---

in the hills until the invasion rolls by,

then we come down and join our buddies.

There is nobody waiting for me in Italy.

You don't have to stay there.

We'll take off.

There is nobody anyplace.

Besides, I find this adventure

very amusing, don't you?

You are crazy Italian.

Okay, I'll go it alone.

Hey, wait a minute. Listen. Listen!

There's something out there.

Cut the engine!

One of your men escaped.

What?

Take it easy, buster.

I don't know what you're saying,

but whatever it is, the answer is no.

Well, apparently, I miscalculated again.

I never thought Fell would try it

once we were underway.

Now, listen.

When the German craft comes alongside,

the skipper will try and stall

as long as possible,

and we'll slip overboard

and take them from behind.

Oh, no, no, no. Not me.

I didn't sign up for any street fighting.

You're not on a street.

Durrell!

Scanlon, come with me.

Come on, fellows, hurry it up!

Hurry it up!

All right. Bring him up. Gently.

He's dead.

You...

Now, come on,

let's launch this small boat.

We've gotta sink this ship.

No. We are safer right here.

- Scanlon?

- Yeah?

Can you place charges in such a way

that the back of the boat

will blow up on cue?

I can make it dance a jig right on time.

As we approach the beach, we'll blow up.

We'll leave in time and swim ashore.

Well, I hate to admit it,

but it's a damn good plan.

- All right, Scanlon, get cracking.

- Right!

- There are the shore lights.

- You're right.

- Petar?

- Up there!

Right. Come on!

My throat's too small for my heart.

Petar!

Petar!

- Well, we finally made it, huh?

- Yes.

I am Marko, liaison

to the Partisan Army in this district.

- Food and rest after your long journey.

- Thank you.

Yeah. Food for everybody else.

You wouldn't by chance have

a little liquid around, would you?

- Yes, I would.

- You have!

Look at this!

Good.

It is right that we should enjoy

what moments we can.

By nightfall, we shall be

in the German stronghold,

the fortress city of Dubrovnik.

Now, listen.

In that fortress is the man

we've come here to liberate.

General Quadri, commander,

Italian occupation forces.

You mean to tell me we're risking our necks

to get some clown out of his own barracks?

No, he's there as a prisoner of the Nazis.

Now, they suspect that he's been

in touch with Allied agents,

but he's too well loved by his men

to publicly denounce,

so they use him as a puppet

to keep the Italians in line.

They guard him day and night

to make sure he doesn't act on his own.

How certain are you

that he will act on his own?

Well, he's an Italian,

but he's not a Fascist.

And only he commands

the absolute loyalty of his men.
