and ask for Madeleine.

Au revoir, Lise. Au revoir, Raoul.

By the way, Lise...

The Villa Bleue was raided yesterday

by the Gestapo.

It's quite possible that they're

waiting there to pick up any callers.

Attention, Arnaud. La voiture de

detection et dans les environs.

HE SPEAKS IN FRENCH

Bonjour, madame. Bonjour, monsieur.

Je voudrais prendre un rendezvous

pour ma femme.

Oui, monsieur.

Lise will call and ask for

Madeleine. Lise.

Hi, Paul.

She's got quite a mind of her own,

has Lise. Too much?

The whole art of playing this racket

is to be entirely inconspicuous.

Yes, Lise has quite a lot to learn.

Now, I want you to take this money

to Jean.

He's starting something in Toulouse.

Be sure you get a receipt.

Still nothing through from London?

We'd soon know from Arnaud if there

were.

Hey!

Carte d'identite.

HE REPLIES IN FRENCH

THEY SPEAK IN FRENCH

Oh, hello. Have a good sleep?

Yes, wonderful.

Good.

Now perhaps you'll be a little less

intolerant.

I'm sorry.

That's all right. Have you had some

coffee? No, they had not any.

You'll find some stewing in the back

room. Help yourself.

Merci. What about you? Yes, I'll

have a cup.

Raoul, I got through! After three

weeks, I got through! No!

Six messages from London - six

messages!

Let's have them.

But what do those fools in London

think they're doing?

Three weeks and not

a goddamn message!

Don't swear, Arnaud.

There's a lady in the next room.

Pretty? Not bad. Come on! Let's have

these messages.

Oh. This is Arnaud. This is Lise.

She's just arrived in the field.

How is Buck? He's very well.

Yes, I am sure he is very well. What

does he do all day?

Sits in that black bath of his,

reading detective stories.

Why can't he send

me the messages?

Three goddamn weeks!

You'd better get another one for

Arnaud. He was born thirsty.

No, no, no. Thank you very much.

I can't find these ruddy messages. I put

them somewhere when I was stopped...

Come on, turn out your pockets.

I've lost them.

Were they decoded?

Every one of them.

Come on, let me have a look.

Now admit you're a fool. What's the

trouble?

I got them through, didn't I?

I got them through, didn't I?

Raoul, do you think Buck sent

me to France to sit in cafes

and to watch the girlfriends of the

collaborators promenading their poodles?

Of course he did. Didn't he tell

you?

But Raoul, when am I going to begin work?

My orders were to go on to Auxerre.

Yes...you've mentioned that before.

Lise, I'd like you to know that

sitting here in Cannes

is not my idea of fighting a war

any more than it is yours.

Our job is to help organise French

resistance.

Does it matter whether we do it in
