Secret Mission Page #4

---

the only people who have been

bombed by both sides.

Now that the bombers are

overhead, I expect things

will be happening.

- Such as?

- Someone goes out and

cuts the telephone wires.

Last week it was the power

station. That's why

we have to use the lamp.

How do the Germans

like all this?

They arrest people and

fine the whole village.

- But everybody contributes

something, so it is paid.

- That's the spirit.

No, the people are fools!

We have signed an armistice

with Germany.

They only make things more

difficult for themselves by

these stupid acts of sabotage.

- It isn't worth it!

- Not even for freedom?

Not even for freedom!

I tried banging my head

against a brick wall.

(CLEARS THROAT)

That was delicious.

- Nobody in England

can cook like that.

- I should think not!

- Can I help you wash up?

- No, thank you.

I did not hear

Monsieur Raoul offer to help.

He has not changed much.

Do not try to corrupt me,

Violette, with your

revolutionary ideas.

It was women like her

who brought about

the French Revolution.

(EXPLOSIONS CONTINUE)

- Come and help me

get the beds ready.

- Eh?

- Come on, now.

- Eh, well...

(URGING IN FRENCH)

VIOLETTE:
Do not make

any noise with

those big feet of yours.

RAOUL:
Anything you say.

Raoul adores Violette.

He was always her favorite.

My other brother,

who is a prisoner of war

in Germany...

Brother?

- Isn't Raoul your husband?

- (LAUGHING) No.

What made you think that?

I don't really know.

- He's never spoken very much

about his family.

- No, he's my brother.

- You don't look very alike.

- No.

And we think differently

about many things.

Must be hell for you here.

That's so that

we do not forget ever

who is master here.

By day, we see them.

At night,

we just have to listen.

- Not coming here, is it?

- No.

It goes to the turn of the

road, and then comes back.

The Boche are very methodical.

- Calvados,

from our own cellar.

- Ah!

What else have

you got in there?

When the Boche come here

and began looting,

We hide all the valuable

things, like silver, linen,

And most valuable of all,

soap!

- Didn't we, Michele?

- Calvados!

We must drink a toast.

To Peter's first visit to

Chateau Carnot.

And to Raoul's homecoming.

You are home,

-Aren't you, Raoul?

- No. Only for 48 hours,

then I have to go.

But why?

Well, I'm in

the Free French Army now.

- I'm over here for them.

- What for?

To find out about the

German Army, that's all.

You mean you're a spy?

Michele!

I'm sorry. I don't know what

I'm trying to say, you see...

It's two years

since you were home last.

I was so happy

I didn't even think.

You're in danger here.
