WEBVTT 04:16.980 --> 04:22.660 knowing wisdom didn't let us know till 10 a.m. damned idiots damned idiots for 04:22.660 --> 04:26.260 not letting us know double damned idiots for ignoring our advice in the first 04:26.260 --> 04:35.100 place anyway here he is in a town called Vethan at the Schloss Adler the castle 04:35.100 --> 04:39.720 of the Eagles believe me it's well named because only an eagle can get to 04:39.720 --> 04:45.360 it our job is to get inside there and get him out as soon as possible if all 04:45.360 --> 04:48.320 they have a chance to get the information from him how are you so sure that 04:48.320 --> 04:54.220 he's there sir the Mosquito he was in crash landed only 10 miles away the 04:54.220 --> 04:57.320 Schloss Adler is the headquarters of the German Secret Service in southern 04:57.320 --> 05:02.280 Bavaria that answer would they take him how did the plane crash sir the most 05:02.280 --> 05:06.720 damnable in luck we carried out a saturation rate on Nuremberg last 05:06.720 --> 05:10.140 night there shouldn't have been a German fighter within a hundred miles of 05:10.140 --> 05:14.800 the Austrian border a wandering Messerschmitt patrol got him anyway 05:14.800 --> 05:22.520 that's not important what is important is that we get him out before he talks or 05:22.520 --> 05:29.920 I should say you get him out what about paratroops the Schloss Adler is 05:29.920 --> 05:34.660 inaccessible and impregnable it would require a battalion of paratroops to 05:34.660 --> 05:40.850 take it we haven't got the time stealth and secrecy our only hope and you 05:40.850 --> 05:45.510 when are I trust stealthy and secretive we realize of course that you've never 05:45.510 --> 05:50.990 worked together before as a team but you're familiar with one another except for 05:50.990 --> 05:54.370 Lieutenant Schaefer here you probably noticed that Lieutenant Schaefer 05:54.370 --> 05:58.650 wears the shoulder flatties of the American Ranger Division I think that 05:58.650 --> 06:04.490 speaks for itself Major Smith will lead the group in now you're all expert at 06:04.490 --> 06:09.110 survival behind enemy lines Smith Lieutenant Schaefer sergeants have it 06:09.110 --> 06:15.250 and reperson in their military capacities the rest of you in other duties you 06:15.250 --> 06:21.530 all speak fluent German been trained in different types of combat if anybody has 06:21.530 --> 06:26.950 a chance of getting him out you have there is of course another way sir away 06:26.950 --> 06:31.750 with a hundred percent guarantee of success neither Admiral Rolland or I 06:31.750 --> 06:36.710 claim to be miscient or infallible is there an alternative that we missed 06:37.450 --> 06:43.030 whistle up a path find a squad of Lancasters with 10 ton bombs I don't 06:43.030 --> 06:46.950 think anybody in that castle would ever talk again nor do I think that you've 06:46.950 --> 06:51.690 grasped the realities of the situation the captured man General Carnaby is an 06:51.690 --> 06:56.250 American if we were to destroy him then I think General Eisenhower might well 06:56.250 --> 06:59.890 launch his second front against us rather than against the Germans there are 06:59.890 --> 07:06.750 certain niceties to be observed in our relationship with our allies very well 07:06.750 --> 07:12.930 then gentlemen 10 o'clock tonight the airfield no more questions I take it 07:12.930 --> 07:18.930 yes speaking the Colonel's part sir what's all this about I mean why is 07:18.930 --> 07:23.170 this man so damned important why have a new sergeant you have all the 07:23.170 --> 07:27.170 information you require I think if we are sending a man to what maybe his 07:27.170 --> 07:33.610 death camel he has a right to know why it's painfully simple Sergeant General 07:33.610 --> 07:37.370 Carnaby is one of the overall coordinators of planning for the second 07:37.370 --> 07:42.450 front he set out last night to meet his opposite numbers in the Middle East to 07:43.310 --> 07:47.450 finalize the plans for the invasion of Europe the rendezvous with the Russians 07:47.450 --> 07:54.670 was to have been Crete unfortunately his plane didn't get through now if the 07:54.670 --> 08:01.130 Germans can make him talk it could mean no second front this year you understand 08:01.130 --> 08:09.530 such yes sir I'm sorry sir that's all right sergeant forget it if you have any 08:09.530 --> 08:46.890 more questions Major Smith will answer them that's all gentlemen snowed 13:27.150 --> 13:30.590 cover him in a couple of hours you best get back and pick up the equipment I 13:31.150 --> 15:22.770 want to see the radio we'll use it to check out equipment what about the 15:22.770 --> 15:28.230 people live in it there aren't any this is a high alpine pasture they bring the 15:28.230 --> 15:31.810 cattle up in May and take them down again in September the rest of the title 15:31.810 --> 16:36.830 faces totally deserted not coffee and then but if I'm not back in an hour they 16:36.830 --> 16:39.890 signal me with a flare up just four times every five minutes that should bring 16:39.890 --> 16:44.310 a blind man home might also bring the best part of a German Redmond not a 16:44.310 --> 16:48.230 German within five miles nobody leaves here until I come back 16:49.650 --> 16:54.210 jog save me some coffee didn't be cold by then they say that's an advantage you 16:54.210 --> 18:33.240 can't taste cold coffee around look your time getting here didn't you things to 18:33.240 --> 18:40.140 attend to enjoy your trip lovely I nearly froze to death in that damn plane why 18:40.140 --> 18:43.040 couldn't you've supplied some hot water bottles or an electrically heated 18:43.040 --> 18:49.280 suit I thought you loved me can't help what you think you managed to bring 18:49.280 --> 18:52.620 your gear is that all the greeting I'm going to get 18:53.120 --> 18:57.800 afraid so for the time being my radio operator was killed in the drop what 18:57.800 --> 19:02.640 happened something struck him in the back of the neck either the half of a 19:02.640 --> 19:05.760 knife or the butt of a gun the skin was unbroken but it was badly 19:05.760 --> 19:08.380 discolored which means that somebody broke his neck immediately afterwards 19:08.380 --> 19:12.940 to make it look like an accident now listen I'm taking the group at dawn 19:12.940 --> 19:15.740 over the ridge into the next valley we'll stop in the woods until about 19:15.740 --> 19:20.520 seven don't stumble into us soon as it's dark we move down into the village of 19:20.520 --> 19:25.240 verfen in the village there's a gas house called zoom Vilden Hirsch behind it 19:25.240 --> 19:29.180 and to the right there's a woodshed I'll meet you there at exactly eight o'clock 19:29.180 --> 19:37.720 tomorrow night and after that what I let you know when the time comes I see you 19:37.720 --> 19:41.520 come fully prepared never mind about that how do you know about all these 19:41.520 --> 19:49.700 things zoom Vilden Hirsch in the shed I'm entitled to know you're entitled to know 19:49.700 --> 19:57.940 nothing we've worked together for three years now I'm a professional if I were 19:57.940 --> 20:08.010 the marrying kind which I thought you were in a hurry 20:08.650 --> 21:25.990 so I am aren't you what kept you well I was very lucky I ran into this fabulous 21:25.990 --> 21:35.650 Claude she was lying on a snowdrift you have a friend thanks for waiting up for me 21:35.650 --> 21:53.910 anyway no problem lieutenant why didn't you go to sleep 21:53.910 --> 22:55.600 and be doing in a couple of hours you too job probably the storm lieutenant come 22:55.600 --> 23:49.470 with me the rest of you stay here but he's got to be crazy just how did your 23:49.470 --> 23:52.890 colonel expect anyone to get in there I suppose he feels he could penetrate the 23:52.890 --> 23:55.490 German high command there's no reason why we should have any difficulty getting up 23:55.490 --> 24:01.130 there he didn't what Colonel tend to spend the years 40 to 43 in German he first in 24:01.130 --> 24:05.090 the very market and then finally in general headquarters in Berlin they say 24:05.090 --> 24:10.330 new Hitler quite well well I thought he looked well nuts probably yes right now 24:10.330 --> 24:13.570 we've got problems with our own get the boys back into the trees we brought him 24:13.570 --> 24:18.150 too far over be sure they go beyond that tree line and what about you I'd be 24:18.150 --> 25:24.830 long in a minute be sure they stay behind the trees broadsword calling 25:24.830 --> 25:27.210 Danny boy broadsword calling Danny boy over 25:32.430 --> 25:39.750 this is father McCree broadsword what is your present position please over Woods 25:39.750 --> 25:47.870 due west of castle descending at dusk Harrod dead over was Harrod killed 25:47.870 --> 25:59.670 accidentally over by the Germans over no time of next broadcast uncertain will 25:59.670 --> 26:05.210 you stand by Colonel Turner and I will remain at headquarters till 26:05.210 --> 26:23.640 operation completed good luck looks as though you're right sir yes I'm afraid 26:23.640 --> 26:32.900 so who's next I wonder Smith himself perhaps I doubt that some people have a 26:32.900 --> 26:39.600 sixth sense he has a sixth the seventh and an eighth he's our best agent except 26:39.600 --> 26:45.940 yourself still in all even if he is the best this whole operation looks impossible 26:45.940 --> 27:42.540 now men's a guard tower and a wire fence fences can be cut off climbed lift 27:42.540 --> 27:47.420 tenant I doubt a fat one can be climbed it's probably got around 3,000 volts run 27:47.420 --> 27:55.080 through it if I'm not mistaken major that's an army barracks over there no 27:55.080 --> 27:57.420 mistake lieutenant this is the headquarters the very much outping 27:57.420 --> 28:01.900 call swell if you get any other surprise they think I don't know about them I 28:02.560 --> 28:05.880 thought you knew lieutenant why do you think we're not dressed as German 28:05.880 --> 28:10.240 sailors training troops come and go all the time what are six new faces among 28:10.240 --> 28:15.420 600 new faces look major this is primarily a British operation I'm an 28:15.420 --> 28:20.100 American I don't even know why the hell I'm here left-handed you here because you're 28:21.280 --> 29:50.760 afraid since I saw you I'm afraid sir sir how is Berlin sir 29:50.760 --> 29:54.720 things have changed you like my machine it was pretty dangerous well you must 29:54.720 --> 30:02.760 try major Berkholder my adjutant major brunt jager battalion Colonel 30:03.880 --> 30:18.670 field security major von Harpen Gestapo have you questioned me oh I was 30:18.670 --> 30:24.550 waiting for you that major von Harpen does he know General Carnaby's here yes I 30:24.550 --> 30:29.590 did inform you of his arrival but not of his importance good if possible I'd 30:29.590 --> 30:32.810 prefer the Gestapo to be kept out of this matter until after we have the 30:32.810 --> 30:35.970 information that we want fine we don't need them cluttering our things with 30:36.950 --> 30:42.510 this can remain a strictly army matter of the time be I agree good I've had a very 30:42.510 --> 30:46.490 tiring trip down here from Berlin I'd like to freshen up a bit perhaps leave a few 30:46.490 --> 30:51.590 hours before meeting General Carnaby I see you to your quarters thank you oh the 30:51.590 --> 30:53.770 meeting you'll be ready then whenever you wish 34:31.020 --> 34:35.140 but with so many troops on leave in Berlin it was hardly likely she'd 34:35.140 --> 34:40.440 remember me but one always hopes that you're the one she left forget yeah what 34:40.440 --> 35:29.070 was her name anyway Fred oh yeah you get inside circulate around keep your ears 35:29.070 --> 35:34.090 open for anything about General Carnaby we'd meet back here in half an hour there's 37:08.870 --> 37:11.870 no more important work than entertaining the soldiers of the problem 37:11.870 --> 37:26.990 slicing you a song oh very well then I whistle it goes like this thank you 37:27.990 --> 37:33.590 being a woodshed in five minutes not slapping across the faces aren't you 37:33.590 --> 37:47.090 can't conduct us not become an officer of the wehrmacht hair major when you 37:47.090 --> 37:54.130 talk to me major Bernard Himmler does the name mean anything to you I advise 37:54.130 --> 38:18.760 you to mind your own business in future is that understood thing about General 38:18.760 --> 38:25.700 Carnaby I didn't get round to that thank you even that major talking about I told 38:25.700 --> 38:31.320 you my was Himmler's brother yeah well I could see where that would shake him up 38:31.320 --> 40:02.180 little more than a little I should think King up to the castle tonight is well 40:02.180 --> 40:10.220 yes it's a domestic oh naked not a bad idea but it's a bit obvious there's 40:10.220 --> 40:14.020 an acute staff shortage in Germany and the Schloss Adler is no exception 40:16.280 --> 40:20.320 just the type they're looking for young intelligent good looking and there's 40:20.320 --> 40:25.260 be both no not entirely without humor you must be mad if I wasn't what would I 40:25.260 --> 40:29.640 be doing in this job listen very carefully you're supposed to arrive on 40:29.640 --> 40:34.040 a bus from Stein garden in about 20 minutes your name is Maria Schenck you 40:34.040 --> 40:39.240 come from the Rhineland you give me that book you've had TV and a force to 40:39.240 --> 40:42.520 give up your job you have a cousin called Heidi who works in Zoomvild and 40:42.520 --> 40:45.880 Hirsch it's because of her that you've got the job in the castle where are my 40:45.880 --> 40:50.260 identity papers in that case together with your travel permit Heidi will give 40:50.260 --> 40:55.760 you the rest later I must have taken time to prepare these things very likely I'll 40:55.760 --> 41:00.560 forge a department at a special job on your papers I thought General 41:00.560 --> 41:06.300 Carnaby's plane crashed only yesterday morning I was carefully arranged the 41:06.300 --> 41:10.220 plane was crash landed in Oberhausen military airfield about five miles from 41:10.220 --> 41:14.900 here it was riddled with machine gun holes British machine gun holes but what 41:14.900 --> 41:19.720 the hell hole is a hole is a hole as they say are you trying to say that you'd 41:19.720 --> 41:24.020 risk the life of an American general and all the plans for the second front of 41:24.020 --> 41:31.320 course not the reason why I'm in a hurry to get into the castle is before 41:31.320 --> 41:35.220 they find out they haven't got general Carnaby in the chat they've got knows 41:35.220 --> 41:39.400 no more about the second front than I know about the back end of the moon he's 41:39.400 --> 41:44.500 an American corporal his name is Cartwright Jones he's an ex-actor probably 41:44.500 --> 41:49.020 second-rate but the dead spitting image of the general did you talk this poor 41:49.020 --> 41:53.660 man into getting involved with all this you have to be volunteered what actor 41:53.660 --> 41:58.180 wouldn't after all if he pulls this off it'll be the summit of his 41:58.180 --> 42:04.840 professional career mind you it might be a short engagement yes a one night 42:04.840 --> 42:28.600 stand Mary now Maria this is your cousin Heidi if I leave this behind in case 42:28.600 --> 42:32.160 you're searched Heidi will tell you what to do from now on she's been one of our 42:32.160 --> 43:27.350 top agents in Bavaria since 1941 under what a disguise they left three minutes 43:27.350 --> 43:35.990 off to me in a hurry to say so he wasn't up to me any of the other thing that I 43:35.990 --> 43:40.690 could see but this place is a damn crowded and several other exits any one 43:40.690 --> 43:46.350 of them could have slipped out major you better start playing the straighter you 43:46.350 --> 43:51.030 can do me out of this mess now we both know that radio operator wasn't killed in 43:51.030 --> 43:57.730 any drop now with McPherson dead there's only five of us left so you let me know 43:57.730 --> 44:03.470 what's going on is only before all right lieutenant this morning you asked me why 44:03.470 --> 44:05.750 you an American is on his mission 44:07.430 --> 44:28.490 to see you after all these years why should I stop I am so happy to see you may I 44:28.490 --> 44:33.190 introduce you to a friend of mine major from Harbin my cousin Maria shank 44:35.250 --> 44:40.990 your cousin told us to expect you for a shank but Heidi you did not tell me she 44:40.990 --> 44:45.830 was as beautiful as this thank you perhaps when you're ready to take the 44:45.830 --> 44:50.030 cable car to the castle I will have the honor to escort you thank you 44:50.030 --> 44:57.390 and I am going with her oh both of you are where's and I am very fortunate yeah 44:58.350 --> 45:31.580 for a little bit later this is the map of the castle and your instructions do 45:31.580 --> 45:53.960 your homework well the devil he's got to I gave orders that nobody should leave 45:53.960 --> 46:18.460 here so I go outside and take a look looking for four or five item core 46:18.460 --> 46:22.220 deserved there's from Stuttgart to escape they killed two officers and a 46:22.220 --> 46:28.320 sergeant they were last known to be heading this way clever very clever indeed I 46:28.320 --> 46:35.440 want the senior officers of draft 13 14 and 15 to come forward at once check the 46:35.440 --> 46:51.200 papers I think we'll stand a lot better chance outside than we will in here 46:54.800

Gestapo activities in this area and 53:20.490 --> 53:25.310 if they are foreign agents then I am to be informed that once you were not here 53:25.310 --> 53:29.710 major then you find me Colonel my

so are your attempts to discredit me with my 53:51.850 --> 53:56.870 superiors in Berlin if there is any discredit you bring it upon yourself 53:57.310 --> 54:20.830 the night the things you'll need

first left downstairs that this is Mary Alison's one of our group 01:15:01.050 --> 01:17:48.790 lieutenant Schaefer hello I tried to fly car if you have a cigarette with them yes 01:17:48.790 --> 01:19:59.140 of course I persuaded the high command that the mere fact of your capture will 01:19:59.140 --> 01:20:06.040 compel the allies to alter their plans but this it seems is not enough for the 01:20:06.040 --> 01:20:11.080 last time may I request you to give us the information general George Carnaby 01:20:11.080 --> 01:20:22.190 United States what matters in your hands karma you know general we have drugs that 01:20:22.190 --> 01:20:28.290 will make you talk we do not wish to use them but the pollen mean where is that 01:20:28.290 --> 01:20:34.290 going to get you Colonel but they are the drugs to the lieutenant here is a 01:20:34.290 --> 01:20:54.270 trained nurse you can bring them up now has there been any further information 01:20:54.270 --> 01:21:06.090 about the other two keep me advised so I'm very interesting company coming up 01:21:06.090 --> 01:22:10.700 general the drugs may not be necessary I was just going out I was and I'm just in 01:22:10.700 --> 01:22:15.800 time you wanted to see me major naturally what about 01:22:19.680 --> 01:22:26.620 nothing I just wanted to see you now said he's not a cry you see no it's 01:22:26.620 --> 01:22:32.860 very seldom we have so so pretty a girl here perhaps I can show you a little 01:22:32.860 --> 01:22:38.100 very in hospitality and downstairs we have an arm of its room which has been 01:22:38.100 --> 01:22:43.100 converted into something most marvelous cafe my duties I have to see the colonel 01:22:43.100 --> 01:22:49.900 secretary you and me we have a lot to talk about that chair 01:22:50.540 --> 01:23:00.040 do so though I was a student there for many years from 1929 to 1932 your health 01:23:00.040 --> 01:23:13.160 gentlemen you're not drinking general that's understandable when your rescuers 01:23:13.160 --> 01:23:20.720 turn out to be well birds of a different feather and the return trip gentlemen how 01:23:20.720 --> 01:23:25.560 was that to be accomplished through Switzerland but then it should be quite 01:23:25.560 --> 01:23:29.420 easy for you to return to London a rubber dinghy across the Rhine in the short 01:23:29.420 --> 01:23:33.980 walk you'll be back in Whitehall reporting general Carnaby's transfer to 01:23:33.980 --> 01:23:38.180 Berlin before you know it back to London are you mad not with Smith and 01:23:38.180 --> 01:23:44.180 Schaefer still alive what do you take us for you will also of course be 01:23:44.180 --> 01:23:51.080 reporting the unfortunate demise of Major Smith is he dead you're not quite 01:23:51.080 --> 01:23:55.820 sure it is being looked into right now it's getting great please remember the 01:23:55.820 --> 01:24:02.900 important issue yes I think the situation has changed sufficiently for you to 01:24:02.900 --> 01:24:09.720 give us the information we have been asking for nothing's changed Colonel most 01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:45.950 unfortunate just a waste of time if you don't move any of your lieutenant no I 01:24:45.950 --> 01:24:53.110 advise you not to Colonel well gentlemen I'm very glad to see you all here safe 01:24:53.110 --> 01:24:59.510 and sound enjoying a drink I'm sorry to interrupt you lieutenant drop that gun 01:25:00.250 --> 01:25:19.420 what drop that gun and sit down what the hell are you talking about sit down major 01:25:19.420 --> 01:25:27.840 if I live to be a hundred do nothing lieutenant you're only do you are a 01:25:27.840 --> 01:25:34.140 punk and a pretty second-rate punk at that if I might have some explanation in 01:25:34.140 --> 01:25:39.580 good time Colonel all in good time I was about to say that scopolamine would have 01:25:39.580 --> 01:25:42.380 a little effect on our friend here except of course to prove that he's not General 01:25:42.380 --> 01:25:47.080 Carnaby but a certain Cartwright Jones an American actor impersonating General 01:25:47.080 --> 01:25:51.740 Carnaby who are you just a passerby as you might say as a matter of fact I think 01:25:51.740 --> 01:25:55.600 the drug would probably work better on our friends at the end of the table there 01:25:55.600 --> 01:25:59.160 are real enemies general don't listen to him general it's a bluff he quiet 01:26:02.860 --> 01:26:08.720 allow me to introduce myself Major Johan Schmidt SS military intelligence 01:26:08.720 --> 01:26:13.920 stood guard and you prove that certainly Colonel but before I do I wonder if you'd 01:26:13.920 --> 01:26:18.370 be good enough to call one of your guards I don't fancy talking and keeping my eye 01:26:18.370 --> 01:26:19.470 on these people at the same time 01:26:26.110 --> 01:26:32.070 strange I seem to remember said the Casino was on the other side of the square 01:26:32.070 --> 01:26:45.090 of course I might be mistaken it's been a long time oh no major I could have made 01:26:45.090 --> 01:26:51.910 a mistake I haven't been to Dusseldorf for three years it's very easy to forget 01:26:53.430 --> 01:27:06.650 so easy for a line you seem to be a little bit distracted is anything wrong no it's 01:27:06.650 --> 01:27:13.650 nothing just a slight headache I've had a long day traveling oh yes of course here 01:27:13.650 --> 01:27:20.910 I am I'm talking about silly things like Dusseldorf you will forgive me thank 01:27:21.770 --> 01:27:26.550 you I kill you both we will have one more schnaps together and then I'll see 01:27:26.550 --> 01:27:38.860 what you call us all comfortable I think the first order of business is to find 01:27:38.860 --> 01:27:43.400 it exactly who everybody is and what they're doing here now first the 01:27:43.400 --> 01:27:49.320 lieutenant he's an assassin a member of the American intelligence organization 01:27:49.320 --> 01:27:54.340 known as OSS his job is to shoot you Colonel Kramer and you general 01:27:54.340 --> 01:28:00.260 Rosemeyer now general Carnaby's mission was two fold first of all to 01:28:00.260 --> 01:28:03.180 allow himself to be tortured into giving you the wrong plans for the second 01:28:03.180 --> 01:28:07.580 front and secondly to afford the British a perfect excuse to send in a team of 01:28:07.580 --> 01:28:13.500 experts to rescue him which brings us to our three friends here and the cleverest 01:28:13.500 --> 01:28:17.900 face of the British operation they are of course members of MI6 that's a lie let 01:28:17.900 --> 01:28:23.140 him finish their job was to penetrate the German high command instead of the 01:28:23.140 --> 01:28:29.180 real Thomas Barkley and Christensen who worked for us in London and were 01:28:29.180 --> 01:28:33.820 discovered and captured by the British about a month ago that's another lie you 01:28:33.820 --> 01:28:38.420 can't prove any of this can't I any denials lieutenant 01:28:42.880 --> 01:28:48.620 now general Carnaby perhaps you'd be good enough to give us your real name rank 01:28:48.620 --> 01:29:07.510 and serial number I tried Jones corporal US Army RA 1 2 3 0 2 5 3 9 6 4 thank you 01:29:09.010 --> 01:29:13.010 having successfully substituted these three British agents for our men what 01:29:13.010 --> 01:29:18.390 was the next phase of the British plan to penetrate the German high command how 01:29:19.770 --> 01:29:25.330 simple stage of fake air crash with a fake American general on board send in 01:29:25.330 --> 01:29:29.250 special agents to affect his release be sure that they fail in their mission 01:29:29.250 --> 01:29:32.970 and hopefully these three men would be taken to Berlin where they would be 01:29:32.970 --> 01:29:38.290 right in the heart of the Vermacht and you major Schmidt what were your orders on 01:29:38.290 --> 01:29:44.470 this mission to lead them in and make my own way out through Switzerland but it's 01:29:44.470 --> 01:29:50.830 incredible yes but to the British very very simple you were going to give us 01:29:50.830 --> 01:29:56.650 some proof of who you are certainly general the proof is in three parts first 01:29:56.650 --> 01:30:00.510 if I'm not to I say I am what am I doing here what can I possibly hope to 01:30:00.510 --> 01:30:06.510 gain the rescue of an imposter the exposure of three spies who to to the very 01:30:06.510 --> 01:30:13.410 people this was to be working for I have nothing to gain also if these people are 01:30:13.410 --> 01:30:18.630 what they say they are they would know the name of our top agent in Whitehall 01:30:19.990 --> 01:30:28.450 there so why don't we ask them if they should know the name of the man who 01:30:28.450 --> 01:30:33.270 sent them on this mission we all work through contacts it wasn't necessary or 01:30:33.270 --> 01:30:37.430 safe for us to know where our orders were coming from I should be in the same boat 01:30:37.430 --> 01:30:40.690 as you but I know his name and you don't 01:30:43.930 --> 01:30:48.490 secondly Colonel you have one of the most powerful radio transmitters in Europe put 01:30:48.490 --> 01:30:53.470 a radio telephone call through to Field Marshal Kesselmann's headquarters in 01:30:53.470 --> 01:31:09.590 Italy and ask for his chief of intelligence major Wilhelm Wilner major major 01:31:10.590 --> 01:31:16.690 there's Colonel Kramer on the telephone from the Sloss Adler in the area this is 01:31:16.690 --> 01:31:25.990 very urgent yeah major Wilmer speaking yeah girl can you describe him that will 01:31:25.990 --> 01:31:31.590 not be necessary ask him to show you his right forearm may I see your right form 01:31:32.450 --> 01:31:45.780 certainly the scars are there ask how did he get them how did you get those I 01:31:45.780 --> 01:31:50.700 was born with him he says he was born with him that is right then tell him he's 01:31:50.700 --> 01:31:58.540 a traitor tell him he's a renegade yeah that is Smith no question about it thank 01:31:58.540 --> 01:32:11.820 you major thank you girl good night give me the water as you know the real 01:32:11.820 --> 01:32:17.060 Thomas Christensen Barclay while working for British counter espionage were 01:32:17.060 --> 01:32:22.160 responsible for setting up an excellent chain of agents throughout Britain now if 01:32:22.160 --> 01:32:26.360 these men are who they claim to be it would be reasonable would not to expect 01:32:26.360 --> 01:32:30.920 them to be able to write down a list of those agents you could then compare their 01:32:30.920 --> 01:32:35.060 lists with the genuine one which I have in this book okay something very 01:32:35.060 --> 01:32:41.500 wrong I don't doubt who Schmidt is but there has been some mistake yes you're 01:32:41.500 --> 01:32:45.760 the ones who've made it for our line but would you be good enough to get 01:32:45.760 --> 01:32:49.720 some pencils and some notebooks and we'll soon find out who's speaking the 01:32:49.720 --> 01:32:59.420 truth good night Maria you are most charming girl good night and thank you we 01:32:59.420 --> 01:35:19.560 must get to know each other just a little bit better yes good night and this 01:35:19.560 --> 01:35:26.080 man then they are who they claim to be I'm afraid so they've been under suspicion 01:35:26.080 --> 01:35:29.760 for some time classified information was going out and useless information was 01:35:29.760 --> 01:35:34.220 coming in it took several weeks to pin it on the department's control by those 01:35:34.220 --> 01:35:38.420 men but we knew we couldn't prove it and even if we could what we really wanted was 01:35:38.420 --> 01:35:44.080 the names of their contacts these names and addresses so we thought this plan up 01:35:44.080 --> 01:35:47.480 and made a villain Kessel thinks cheap of intelligence perfectly true he believes 01:35:47.480 --> 01:35:50.320 in me to be one of his top agents in Italy I've been feeding him useless 01:35:50.320 --> 01:35:54.220 false and out of date information for a couple of years all right gentlemen stay 01:35:54.220 --> 01:35:54.920 where you are 01:35:58.660 --> 01:36:10.020 I'd advise everyone to keep perfectly still drop your gun major you too lieutenant 01:36:10.020 --> 01:36:27.010 as a fire place thank God you're here major we were just about to sit down 01:36:27.010 --> 01:36:43.860 everybody remain as he is until I find out what exactly is going on here what do 01:36:43.860 --> 01:36:51.960 you mean I'm sure you can see what's going on down it's perfectly simple major the 01:36:51.960 --> 01:36:55.850 lieutenant myself had just uncovered a plot to assassinate the furor this is 01:36:55.850 --> 01:36:56.670 preposterous 01:36:56.670 --> 01:36:59.750 sit down 01:37:03.110 --> 01:37:07.550 these people are all involved in conspiracy to overthrow the Third Reich in my 01:37:07.550 --> 01:37:11.210 pocket here I have the names of all the conspirators just before you interrupt 01:37:11.210 --> 01:37:14.650 a desk we put this entire party under arrest the list and his pocket are the 01:37:14.650 --> 01:37:18.670 names of German Asians working in Britain I don't expect you to believe me 01:37:18.670 --> 01:37:22.890 major but you'll certainly believe these names if you permit me to show them 01:37:22.890 --> 01:37:23.690 to you 01:37:27.350 --> 01:37:28.190 let me see them 01:37:32.450 --> 01:37:33.210 careful major 01:37:36.030 --> 01:37:36.790 very slowly 01:37:36.790 --> 01:38:00.050 brings them here 01:38:02.010 --> 01:38:36.310 Smith taking with us you were late 01:38:36.310 --> 01:38:37.830 one day I won't come at all 01:38:37.830 --> 01:38:38.890 keep your eye on those three 01:38:39.950 --> 01:38:44.050 lieutenant in the next 15 minutes we have to create enough confusion to get out of here alive 01:38:44.670 --> 01:38:48.410 major right now you got me about as confused as I ever hoped to be 01:38:48.410 --> 01:38:52.350 the Armory's here we can blow it up the castle think it's being attacked by a 01:38:52.350 --> 01:38:56.970 division on the other side of the castle over here is the radio on I take the 01:38:56.970 --> 01:38:58.550 else and meet you there take them out 01:38:58.550 --> 01:39:14.210 they make myself perfectly understood 01:39:15.590 --> 01:39:19.750 if any of you utter some word I'll kill you all you understand 01:39:20.770 --> 01:39:22.690 Jones get the major's gun I move 01:39:23.750 --> 01:39:56.090 move this way 01:47:43.800 --> 02:00:14.390 short calling Danny I see if you can make a motorway 02:00:14.390 --> 02:00:25.430 I'll bring it down here we'll get on top and you can take us back inside 02:00:25.430 --> 02:02:06.780 the amount so I can see he's still alive 02:24:16.280 --> 02:28:45.430 and Christians 02:28:48.030 --> 02:28:49.110 all three of them 02:28:54.170 --> 02:28:59.970 but not as incredible as the one name that's missing from that list Colonel 02:29:02.590 --> 02:29:03.950 what name is that major 02:29:05.750 --> 02:29:08.270 I have it in this notebook here in my pocket 02:29:09.270 --> 02:29:11.290 early tonight I showed it to Colonel Kramer 02:29:12.170 --> 02:29:16.070 he agreed with me that this was the top German agent in Britain 02:29:16.070 --> 02:29:32.630 it's your name Colonel don't look so shocked 02:29:33.230 --> 02:29:34.730 surely you suspected it 02:29:35.790 --> 02:29:37.490 otherwise why were you here to meet us 02:29:38.810 --> 02:29:40.050 it should be found out 02:29:40.050 --> 02:29:49.570 you see you underestimated Admiral Roland 02:29:49.570 --> 02:29:52.390 he suspected you and the others for some time 02:29:52.390 --> 02:29:56.870 he brought me and Mary back from Italy because we were the only two people in his department 02:29:56.870 --> 02:29:58.590 that he could trust yourself included 02:29:59.550 --> 02:30:01.950 he asked you to choose leader for this expedition 02:30:02.930 --> 02:30:06.390 you chose me because you knew from German intelligence that I was 02:30:07.790 --> 02:30:08.670 double agent 02:30:09.770 --> 02:30:11.470 Admiral Roland knew I was not 02:30:12.690 --> 02:30:14.550 for you I was the perfect choice 02:30:15.990 --> 02:30:17.530 now you're guessing Smith 02:30:18.270 --> 02:30:19.530 no guess for Colonel 02:30:20.630 --> 02:30:22.550 your pointing that gun at me is 02:30:23.730 --> 02:30:24.770 sufficient evidence 02:30:27.990 --> 02:30:29.870 you are pointing it at me aren't you 02:30:32.390 --> 02:30:33.290 no one 02:30:33.870 --> 02:30:36.570 Mary was brought on the mission without your knowledge 02:30:36.570 --> 02:30:39.010 because I needed her to get me into the castle 02:30:39.710 --> 02:30:43.230 the lieutenant being an American had no possible connection with MI6 02:30:43.230 --> 02:30:45.410 and was the only member of the group I could trust 02:30:45.410 --> 02:30:48.570 I wasn't even sure of Harrod and MacPherson 02:30:48.570 --> 02:30:50.170 which they were killed by the others 02:30:53.190 --> 02:30:53.710 fascinating 02:30:53.710 --> 02:30:55.770 very fascinating 02:30:57.130 --> 02:30:58.630 perhaps even true 02:31:00.350 --> 02:31:01.670 assuming for a moment 02:31:01.670 --> 02:31:02.510 you're finished Colonel 02:31:09.940 --> 02:31:12.740 overlooking something aren't you 02:31:12.740 --> 02:31:13.740 not at all 02:31:14.460 --> 02:31:17.980 Admiral Roland took you to the plane himself didn't he 02:31:17.980 --> 02:31:21.160 he also made certain that you had that gun didn't he 02:31:22.540 --> 02:31:25.700 we took the precaution of removing the firing pin 02:31:25.700 --> 02:31:27.340 before the mission started 02:31:27.340 --> 02:31:37.490 put it down Colonel 02:31:37.490 --> 02:31:43.650 not so hasty Lieutenant 02:31:44.510
