to begin your story

from when you arrived in Reims.

Do you remember the cart?

Right. You will also remember

that Stphane had a meeting

with the Resistance

at the Caf du Commerce.

But Stphane had arranged

another meeting,

with one of his friends,

called Oskar Emberg.

You never met Emberg,

but you will have seen him

in the train later on

where he was sat next to Stphane

reading a paper.

He was in the Gestapo too.

Stphane was directly

under his command.

But in Reims, the Resistance

had identified them both

and if Stphane had gone

to the Caf du Commerce

it's possible he may not have

come out alive.

He wanted to give up.

But Emberg insisted on carrying on,

since it was essential for them

to get you to carry

this message to London.

That's why he took Stphane,

not to the Caf du Commerce

but to the Caf des Maronniers.

One of the Caf des Maronniers regulars

was a minor SEL spy.

It was not by chance that Stphane

lit an English cigarette.

He may as well have shouted

'Vive De Gaulle' at the Kommandantur.

He had two reasons for this.

To attract the spy's attention

as well as the attention

of the Resistance man and woman.

The ones you later saw

in the cellar.

Stphane waited until he was sure

they'd taken the bait,

then he left,

followed by the spy,

he himself followed by

the Resistance man and woman.

Emberg's plan had worked.

Stphane made for the cellar.

Making sure he was indeed

being followed.

The chap from the SEL

was following him.

The spy stupidly asked Stphane

for his papers,

giving Stphane an opportunity

he did not waste.

His blow finished him off.

The man was stone dead.

Stphane left the cellar,

knowing that his plan had worked.

The two Resistance members

had watched him.

Yes, but I don't understand.

If Godovsky was a spy,

why would one spy

want to kill another spy?

To convince people

in the Resistance

that he really was

an escaped prisoner.

- Obviously.

- Oh I see.

You know, old boy, spies are people

quite different to the rest of us.

Yes, I see.

On top of that, he and Emberg

absolutely wanted to get to know

other members of the Resistance.

They were, by then,

collecting new victims.

This man and this woman,

and then the farmers

who provided you with the bicycles.

Then, the owner

of the Htel de la Poste.

This all makes

for a sizable number of kills.

Htel de la Poste?

You mean to say

that the two gendarmes...

Of course.

Police.

- Bonjour.

- Do you have your papers?

- Ah! Monsieur LeBlanc.

- You're Monsieur LeBlanc.

- Please excuse us, Monsieur LeBlanc.

- You're welcome. Thank you.

Tell me, the gentleman in room number 8,

do you understand?

Understood, sir.
