Uncertain Glory Page #2

Synopsis: During WWII, in France, Jean Picard is a criminal who is about to be executed via the guillotine, but an air raid interrupts it and allows him to escape. Inspector Bonet tracks him down and brings him back. But along the way, they hear that a railway bridge vital to the Germans has been destroyed, supposedly by allied agents. The Germans take 100 Frenchmen and are threatening to execute them unless the saboteurs come forward. Picard who would rather die at the hands of the firing squad as oppose to the guillotine, offers to go to the Germans and say that he is the saboteur. Bonet accepts and so they go the village near where the bridge was to learn all that they can so that Picard can convince the Germans that he is the saboteur. While there Picard, a womanizer, meets a young woman and falls in love with her.

- Go on, say goodbye to your father.

- Bye, Father.

- Goodbye.

- Bye. Be a good boy.

- Goodbye.

- Bye.

- Goodbye.

- Bye.

- Goodbye.

- Goodbye, Mother.

- Be good.

Just what is this, my dear?

Well, it said coffee on the bag.

Why, what does it taste like?

I'll tell you later.

Inspector Bonet's residence.

Yes, commissioner.

No, he hasn't left yet.

Yes, I'll tell him at once. Goodbye, sir.

Marcel, the commissioner

is extremely annoyed with you.

This is the third time he has called

and you're still here.

I imagine the Gestapo

are prodding his derrire this morning.

They will prod yours if Picard gets away.

How can you be so calm

and so indifferent to your duty?

But, my dear foolish one,

I have Picard already.

You mean, you know where he's hiding?

I have him here... just as securely

as though I had him here...

Explain yourself, Marcel.

One of us is stupid.

Precisely. Oh. Ha-ha.

I've made a scientific study

of this Jean Picard.

There's nothing about him

which I do not know, but nothing.

His habits of life, circle of companions,

even his thoughts.

For me, all these are filed here...

A, B, C, that is the Bonet method.

Some day the Bonet method

is gonna get us in the poorhouse.

- Now, don't worry.

- There's a man named Duval to see you, sir.

Duval, the world is full of Duvals.

What does he want?

I didn't ask him.

He says it's quite important.

Wait.

Duval.

Yes.

Come in, Duval.

Sit down, Henri.

Well, where is he?

All passengers for Hendaye

and the Spanish border...

...will transfer at Bordeaux.

Wonderful.

Lafite '24.

I didn't know there was any left in France.

Oh, very little, but there's always something

left for those who appreciate the best.

Thank you, my friend.

And there're

very few of us left too. Here.

You know, if anybody'd ever told me

I'd follow a man clear across France...

...l'd have laughed in his face.

Then laugh in mine, sweetheart.

I knew it the minute I saw you.

What are you going to do?

Why come to Bordeaux?

Oh, I'm waiting to hear

from a couple of friends.

Tomorrow night they're gonna slip me

across the border into Spain.

- Both of us?

- No, but...

But I'll send for you.

I got plenty of money.

Thanks to our mutual friend, Henri.

To Henri.

Who is it?

The waiter, sir, I have a message for you.

What?

Easy, Picard.

I don't like to use this.

It always upsets me.

Jean.

Oh.

How much did you get out of this?

I don't understand, Jean.

- What do you want with him?

- He's a convicted murderer.

And I'm taking him back to the guillotine.

women and Bonet.

Go to the devil.

No, Picard, that's your address.

Come on, get your hat.

You know better
