The Secret Invasion Page #3

---

Now, if we can free him before the invasion,

he'll bring them all over to our side.

When do we enter Dubrovnik?

We start right now.

We'll travel in pairs.

- You speak our language?

- Well, enough to get by.

- You two go together.

- No, I'll go in with Fell.

Do you speak Serbian?

What? Oh, I don't think so,

but I'm getting along wonderful

with this one here.

She'll take you in there.

Mila?

Back there, what did you say

to the girl Mila?

I asked her if she would be afraid to be

with the one with the dead eyes.

- Why?

- Well, she's seen so much death.

Her husband was shot down before her

with a child kicking in her belly.

She recognizes Durrell as an executioner.

Yes. Never have I seen death

walking about, looking like a man.

Dubrovnik.

From here, it looks as it always has.

Now we come to free it.

And who will free it from us?

And who will free us

from ourselves?

- Let's do the job.

- Yes.

I speak English.

Oh?

It's a nice thing to do,

to try to help us.

We're all just trying to help ourselves.

And not each other?

Does anyone know how?

You like him?

What does it matter?

We should do a turn on the stage, lads.

We had all the guards laughing.

Go into the kitchen, lass,

and get to the cooking.

Marko, Rocca, come here.

Rocca, this is

for your particular attention.

Now, these maps show

the construction of the fortress

with the changes made

after the Nazi occupation.

Now, of the few possible means of entry,

Intelligence has chosen this one.

This one?

It's an underground river, once used

as a natural sewage system.

It still runs under the city,

but it's no longer in use.

I trust to British Intelligence,

but in the final analysis,

I trust only to myself.

We will see.

How about some grapes?

Their headquarters

are just behind the square.

The river mouth

is below that guard of men.

They've increased the guards

in the past two weeks.

They know the invasion is imminent,

but not the place of it.

Our task has been made

even more difficult.

Recent?

No, the Germans don't bother

anymore marking graves.

Do many people come to visit here?

Oh, I think not,

but it's easy to make certain.

Yes, sir. And the caretaker?

An old man who only speaks to the dead.

But he won't betray us.

Where is the nearest German garrison?

Oh, about 300 meters from here,

behind these walls.

We'll need the tools brought here.

Have to be done all by hand.

Can't risk explosives, unless...

What?

Well, we'll see.

Let's get inside of this one.

I beg your pardon.

We begin digging here.

Good.

How much longer for my shift?

Fifteen minutes.

If the boys at Monte-Carlo

could only see me now.

Do you realize I'm risking a great career?
