Force 10 from Navarone Page #5

Synopsis: Mallory and Miller are back. It seems that there was traitor with them at Navarone, whom they thought was executed. But it seems that not only was he not executed, and he was not a traitor but a German spy. Intelligence believes he made it to Yugoslavia and is now with the Partisans. So, Mallory and Miller being the only ones who can positively identify him are sent along with a unit called Force 10, which is led by Colonel Barnsby, who objects to their presence. It seems that Force 10 has a mission of their own which Mallory and Miller know nothing about. When their plane is shot and most of the team is killed, they mistakenly believe that some of the locals they meet are Partisans but in reality are German Allies, so they are taken prisoner, and have to convince the German commander that they are not spies or else they will be killed.

That is what I thought you would say.

I think you're lying.

You know they're lying. Why don't

you let Drazak get rid of them?

Gently, Maritza.

I don't believe your so-called penicillin

exists, but it just might.

So I will let you go

and dig it up for me.

And if we do, you'll shoot us

and bury us in the same hole.

I shall certainly shoot you

if you don't.

Well, gentlemen,

the choice is yours.

What I can't figure is how

the firewood got in the case.

Neither can I.

Don't know where we're going to find

any spare penicillin here, do you?

What are we going to do, keep

walking until we reach the Adriatic?

I don't think the iron maiden

will let us get that far.

Halt!

What did I tell you?

We are three miles past the spot

where you were picked up.

Well, where is this

wonderful treasure?

In your imagination?

No, ma'am,

it's not in our imagination.

I think it's a bit further on,

don't you?

Yes, it is. Well, I mean,

it's not much further than this.

It's hard to tell,

the whole country looks alike.

You will start digging

within five minutes.

What if we haven't found it

in five minutes?

Then you will be digging

your graves.

Hey, colonel.

Wait a minute,

now this looks familiar.

Isn't this our little hollow

down here?

Yes, I think it is.

I remember this knoll over here.

Ma'am, this is it.

I think this is it.

- This knoll over here?

- Right.

You see, comrade, we lined it up

between them...

There you are!

There's our pile of stones.

Gotta get them closer

and we use the spades.

You take the two

that are closest to you...

...and I'll take the other one

and the broad.

I'm gonna get them

closer now, okay?

Fritz. Fritz, come!

It's here.

- Ready?

- All right.

You can get up now.

They're dead.

I put firewood in people's cases

and hide their high explosives.

Don't sit there gawping.

Get out of here.

Keep moving in that direction.

Try to find Petrovitch's Partisans.

Now, go.

Excuse me,

good comrade soldier...

...but exactly what story are you

gonna tell Schroeder about all this?

You took us by surprise.

You got away.

Here, hit me.

Did you expect me to go back there

with my hair combed?

Hit me!

Well, all right. I'm sorry.

Harder!

Come on, colonel.

I hope that man Schroeder

believes that girl's story.

If he doesn't believe her, he'd better

think twice about calling her a liar.

What about Miller and Reynolds?

What about them, colonel?

Yes.

I suppose they...

Let's move it.

Do you have the feeling

we're being followed?

About the last 10 minutes.

Next time you can play the corpse.

Yeah, you seem pretty good

with that thing, though.

Could have been luck.

- Germans?

- Yes, or Drazak, I suppose.
