Nathalie: Escape from Hell (1978) - full transcript

Hello.

Hi.

I'm sorry to have called you out again.

But you see there's a curse
in sciatica pains me here

when there is so much to
be done in the fields.

I must be getting old, huh?

I was talking to the mayor yesterday.

We'd all be starving with all the demands

the Germans are making.

Have you heard the latest orders?

Two thirds of the harvest



and the best land has been destroyed

by the tanks and the
bombs, a real problem.

Ah.

I don't know what will happen.

- You're getting more bitter
everyday, aren't you, Zoltan?

- I'm also thinking of
you, Nathalie Baskova.

I often ask myself how you
manage to travel all this way

in all weathers with a
bicycle, always smiling.

As you're the only doctor
left in this region

you need a new motor car.

Why don't you apply for one?

- Because they need the
fuel for the tractors.

You must realize that.

Besides I like cycling.



You seem nervous, Nathalie.

Is something worrying you?

- No I'm all right it's only
that I didn't sleep well

last night that's all.

- Sit down, why don't
you sit down and relax?

Those damn Germans again.

Von Leb is leaving for Leningrad

with six armored divisions
and 21 infantry divisions.

Now listen lieutenant, here
we have one armored column

we must push towards the
Napier and then occupy Kiev.

Bolmunge Stet thought
very highly of my plan.

Because the Ukraine, Ukraine as you know

is the granary supply of Russia.

A good plan general but a bit audacious-.

But that would mean controlling
the whole of the Ukraine

with one armored column, the
Russians are very attached

to their land and they will
fight for it inch by inch.

- There does exist some
resistance on the part of

the civilian population
but they'll be hunted down

even if it means starting
a reign of terror.

And remember the Filhrer's orders.

Anyway there's no organized
resistance in these parts.

Just a few hot headed partisans.

But this is madness.

Attacking a German convoy
right on top of a village.

Sit down.

Exterminate all of them!

Every single one!

Take cover, sir!

Stay down!

Down!

Everything all right?

Yes fine.

It's over now.

It's time I was on my way.

I've other patients to see.

Bye.

Bye.

Out of the way.

Come on.

Put the general on the table.

Easy now.

What, what does this intrusion mean?

What do you want?

Silence.

General Hartz was shot by some criminals

and I'm holding everyone here responsible.

ls there a telephone here?

No.

Is there a doctor?

Yes I'm a doctor.

I'll attend to him.
- Good.

I am ordering you here and
now to save the general's life

or you'll pay with your own.

I don't give a damn for your orders.

My obligation as a doctor forces me

to tend to this man's
wound, whoever he is.

I'll try to save his life
but I can promise nothing.

You, corporal Hind.

Stay here and guard the general.

And you follow me, we
must find a telephone.

Give me a hand.

Get me something he can sit on, quick.

Here.

You'll find bandages in my bag.

Quickly, Zoltan, boil up that water

and give me some more.

Welcome back, how did it go?

- Pretty well, we went a
little further this time.

Well that's okay.

I see that we lost some men.

But the important thing is that
the mission was accomplished

but listen, tell me, did
you kill the general?

- He got away, the grenade
only managed to injure him.

His men took him away to Zoltan's farm.

We had no choice.

Well he's got to die.

Hartz is chief advisor to Von Runstead.

His death would halt the offensive.

It's impossible.

The farm house is full of Germans.

We've got too.

I know the place well,

going through the granary
you get to the attics

where there's a stairway to the kitchen.

We have precise orders.

Nathalie Baskova risked
her life last night

bringing up the message
received on her radio.

It's top priority.

Some one must go back.

It's a job for one man.

A group would be discovered.

So I'll see you.

Get back to the wall, both of you!

Hurry up!

No, no Basili.

Please don't.

Ah.

Get that man!

You refuse to disclose the
names of those responsible

for the attack?

Well what do you want me to do about it?

I know nothing of those men.

Please listen to me, Captain.

This old man is under my care

and I can assure you of his
incapacity to leave this house.

He's very ill.

- The general is dead,
murdered by your people.

All the inhabitants of this village

will be deported to Germany.

- Listen, deportation
doesn't frighten me at all.

But please think, captain,
if you send me away

who will look after the sick?

Hmm, well who's ill?

That man?

No!

No!

Go on, take her away.

Come on, do it now.

On the line, now!

More Russian women, eh?

And as usual ugly or pregnant.

I ask for workers

and they sent me rubbish.

I suppose it would be
asking to much to know

if any of you have any special skills.

Do you know anything, about machines?

As I thought.

What do you do?

I work mechanical laves.

Works of three.

And you?

What can you do?

I can feed swine.

- Otto give this slut
a shower, she stinks.

And give her strokes of the whip.

Take her away, go on.

Dirty swine!

And you?

I'm a doctor.

Very good, you'll go to the infirmary.

The others to be put in the barrack 15.

Work will be assigned to them tomorrow.

And get them all all a
shower, they smell like goats.

- Something to eat,
finally something to eat.

First time all day.

Quick, quick.

Come on, more, more.

Maybe we can take it ourselves.

Give us a kiss first.

Come on drink it up.

This'll do you good.

Come on drink it up.

Don't tell me you compete,

compete to go to bed with those swine.

It's degrading.

Sometimes but not for their blue eyes.

They've got heated rooms you see.

Here we shiver day and night.

- You'll notice MacDonald the
secret is to bring the whiskey

to the right temperature.

Then you must pour the cream,
very carefully like that.

It will be ready in a moment.

Mmm, the sorry Mortimer my dear chap,

believe me there's no comparison.

This is drinkable but real
Irish coffee should be made

with a moss whiskey not
this dreadful blended stuff.

And anyway the coffee
should be exactly, you know,

the same temperature as the whiskey.

You just try it.

To England and your great man Churchill.

- To Scotland and our
brave allies the Russians.

And an early victory.

Yes that's quite acceptable Mortimer.

My compliments really.

That's quite a good
imitation of our coffee.

- Are you sure you
won't have some, Basili?

Thanks but I don't drink.

And I don't smoke anymore.

Sorry I have to get down to business

but my plane leaves at three hours.

Military intelligence has required

my immediate return to Russia.

We have a little problem, Basili.

Seeing as you coordinate agents movements

on the eastern front.

One of our agents Ingrid Wasering

must have fallen into a
trap, we've lost all contact.

- Even if the description
was circulated to my men

it will be almost impossible to find her.

Not this time.

We too know our job and we've
managed to pin point an area.

However we find that it's
in a sector of Germany

where we have no available agents.

Tell me where is it?

We're but 90% sure she's a prisoner at

the fortress at Steelberg
on the Polish border.

- You're wrong, MacDonald,
it is not a fortress

but simply a chateau
near the Polish border,

built by a french architect.

It's extremely well guarded

because in there they have
the most powerful transmitter

which relays all the orders
of General Von Leb to Berlin.

Oh, another piece of
information, post name

horse five division of infantry

whose officers go out to
Steelberg and amuse themselves.

Your fortress is nothing
but a luxury brothel.

Well I find that rather surprising.

- Basili, do you think
you could infiltrate

one of your agents into this brothel?

- You mean you want me to turn
one of my agents into a tart?

Meh.

Your England has vital information.

Am I right there?

Mm-hmm.

Yes Basili, you're quite right.

She's into the organization

that's plotting and fighting
for Hitler's downfall.

If she's caught, the plot will fail

and we'll lose two years
besides of our best men.

You understand?

And little Ingrid,

either she gets out of Steelberg or,

I think I may have the solution.

As you can see, we are doing our best

to treat the prisoners humanely.

For instance their rations allow for meat

three times a week, which is not too bad.

Very good.

And for medical attention and the ill?

Any risk of epidemics?

Well, we are very well organized here.

We have a German doctor
and also Russian doctor

working together with us.

Here she is, Miss Baskova.

Well, now Miss Baskova, will
you kindly show this gentleman

around he's here on inspection
for the Swiss Red Cross.

I'd be happy to do so.

- I want to check all the
equipment at your area doctor.

Are there any sick?

About 30.

Uh-huh.

And two in isolation.

Contagious?

Yes, very.

I'd advise you not to visit
that ward, it's to risky.

- Even so we forget we
have a duty to preform.

Are you coming?

No, I think I better stay here.

Thank you.

Now are there anymore questions?

And about hygiene?

- I think that you can ask
the prisoners about that.

Feel free to ask whatever
questions you like.

When you entered the secret service

you swore you'd obey any orders.

Even at the risk of your own life.

That's an order, Nathalie Baskova.

You've been chosen for this
mission because you're a doctor.

You must free Ingrid Wasering or kill her.

Have you heard the news?

We're leaving tomorrow, it's official.

They're taking us to Steelberg.

Isn't it wonderful?

- Staying here or going else
where, it's all the same.

It's bound to be cleaner.

What do you want?

- Oh nothing, but why
did you make such a fuss

refusing the attentions of that Nazi?

You see you won't be invited to Steelberg.

You don't want to stay here, do you?

It's miserable here.

Everyone's going, I'm going too.

- So you say but you could be
sent to a concentration camp.

- Let's just say I'm coming
with you so as not to be lonely.

But the others are jealous of you.

I don't know why, but I'm
happy you're coming too.

Go on, go to bed.

Goodnight.

Come with me.

Who is there?

I asked on no account to be disturbed.

- It's Muller
sir, I must talk to you.

Come in, Muller.

Well, Muller?

- Among the prisoners that
have just come from Lupin

there's also a doctor, Colonel.

I felt that she might be
more useful in her capacity

as doctor than as hostess.

Excellent idea.

That way we could have
someone on hand when one

of our hostesses tries to commit suicide.

I suppose Frau Hortz is aware of all this?

I didn't consult her, sir.

- You should have asked
her before coming here.

Helga is responsible for
our female personnel here

at Steelberg, Muller.

For the auxiliary personnel, yes.

But you're in command
here, Colonel Gunter.

- You better prepare a lot
of acceptance for that woman.

And bring her to me for signature.

I suggest you find her a
place in the infirmary.

Explain the regulations to her.

Carry on, lieutenant.

- Naturally, I suppose it
didn't occur to you to check

against the list, Sergeant?

A girl is missing.

Go and find Muller.

Tell him he has to meet
me in the parade room.

I've something to tell him.

Colonel, this is Miss Baskova.

- As the young lady can't
furnish proof of her being

a doctor, I shall check
her competence immediately.

You may go now, Muller.

I have a pain here, on this
side which never stops.

- If you really want an
examination of yourself

and a diagnosis, Colonel,
I want my instruments back.

My medical bag was confiscated
the day I left Lubin.

- In case no one taught
you discipline at Lubin,

well then I'll teach it to you.

Each one of you is to give me
a daily report of everything

you see and hear in your group.

Do I make myself clear?

I want to know all that happens.

Don't hide anything.

You will all be watched.

I've finished, get going.

Come in.

Ah the elusive Muller.

- I understand you asked
to see me, Frau Hortz.

Uh-huh.

Do you really need a whole
day to obey my orders, Muller?

I requested your presence this morning.

It's now six o'clock.

I only received your message just now.

General Von Runstead invited
me to lunch at headquarters.

If only I'd known.

Oh, he asked me to give
you his best wishes

and a personal message.

What is it?

- The general asked me
to tell you that the day

after tomorrow some
officers will be returning

from the front and he'd like you to put on

one of your special parties for six men.

Please inform the general

that it shall be done as he wishes.

Why are you always so

disagreeable with me, Erik?

One might say you were perpetually

trying to avoid me.

- I'll take your reply to
the general immediately.

Reply to me first.

This morning you usurped my authority

and took away one of the new arrivals.

Who and what for?

Read that.

It's the order confirming
that Nathalie Baskova

has been assigned as doctor of Steelberg.

Perhaps you'd like to see her?

I have her outside.

- I believe you think
far too much, lieutenant.

The confirmation has been counter signed

by General Von Runstead,

I can only suppose you have good reason

to protect this person.

- Nothing personal, I simply
thought it my duty to inform

my commander of the presence
here of a doctor, that's all.

- I find your explanation
very offensive, lieutenant.

Tell her to come in.

Muller, there is a point
you seem to have missed.

The term medical auxiliary
which means doctor,

so your Nathalie Baskova
remains under my responsibility.

Now tell her to come in.

Gunter speaking.

What is it?

Oh good evening, it's Helga speaking.

Excuse me.

But I simply wanted to
know if the Dr. Baskova

could have the room next to the infirmary?

It would be more practical for her.

- Don't bother me
with such stupid details.

You decide.

Yes.

- You handle these
things better than me.

It's all arranged, my dear.

I feel I can trust you.

I wouldn't want to put you
in with all those sluts.

A word of advice now,

never go out of the castle,
the guards have orders to shoot

on sight anyone suspect.

Are there other prisoners here?

Awhile ago, I saw some
soldiers carrying handcuffs.

Forget it.

There are a few rebellious girls here

in isolation in the cellars,
but you mustn't be afraid.

As long as you respect all of the rules

and follow my advice, you
will see that life here

in Steelberg is not so bad after all.

I am sure we are going to
get along very well together.

Come on, have a drink.

Oh go on.

Give me a sip.

It's good, just as you.

You silly boy.

Hey Eddie, get the girl, get a girl.

You must be fooling, me with a girl.

Did you hear him?

Come on give me some.

Oh come on, I like that.

It's good stuff.

That's an order, Nathalie Baskova.

You were chosen for this
mission because you're a doctor.

You must free Ingrid Wasering or kill her.

Free her or kill her.

Free her or kill her.

It's you.

What are you doing here?

- I'm lost, I was looking for
Colonel Gunter in his office

but he wasn't to be found there.

I wanted to check his blood pressure.

The state of his health worries me.

Yeah, it worries me too.

I hope you can manage to convince him

to stop drinking that is.

But I expect you can see him
in the morning, can't you?

- Well I'd better get
back to the infirmary.

- Don't rush away you know
it's not safe wandering

around all alone here.

You'd be in hot water if you
were found on the third floor.

Particularly as the infirmary

is on the ground floor of the chateau.

I'm sorry.

Ah I'd almost forgotten headquarters

have returned your medical equipment.

Where can I find it?

In my office.

Thank you.

Tell me about Nathalie.

Do you know her well?

No, not at all.

I know that she's a doctor, that's all.

For the rest?

She prefers her own company.

Tell me what about men?

- Oh la la, she won't
let any man near her.

I remember a Sergeant tried at Lubin,

he got a slap in the
face for his attempts.

Well then what do you suppose

her little game is here with us?

Who cares?

But why talk about her?

I choose you tonight

but I don't believe I permit insolence.

And now to the right.

What's that noise?

It's nothing that concerns you.

It's just a simple transmitter

but I'd advise you not
to snoop around here.

You'd need a special pass.

Another one?

I'd never find myself in all
these forbidden passages,

excuse me, Frau Hortz, but
I've absolutely no sense

of direction, it's a good
thing I'm not a surgeon.

You may lack a sense of direction

but you've a delicious sense of humor.

All these girls are looking
very well this morning.

Now with which one am I going
to amuse myself this time?

Let's see.

Elizabeth.

You Gertrude?

Or you Marcel.

Or with you, the insolent Ingrid.

It's a very difficult decision, isn't it?

Well you see, my dear Nathalie,

as this is the first
time you've come here,

you have the right to a favor.

Choose from amongst them.

Don't be afraid, they'll get their due.

- But, but what have they done
to be treated like animals?

Well Elizabeth here for example,

tried to organize the
escape of some prisoners.

Gertrude here is an
insolent, lying little slut.

No!

And Marcel insulted me.

Ingrid however, is a special case.

A talented prostitute,
the greatest in Munich

she's really famous, a
true champion guaranteeing

total satisfaction, you
know I offer her to my more

demanding and exacting guest.

And you know what she did?

The dirty, filthy, little Jewess.

Happily however one of the
arrivals recognized her

and told me all about her.

Well then, which one have you chosen?

Very well.

Guards.

No, no!

Not me!

No!

For pity's sake no!

No, No.

- Don't you find that
all this is very amusing?

No I don't!

I find it revolting!

You're much to delicate by far.

Hang on, Owful.

Guess who's come to visit?

A little friend who wants to caress you.

- Listen, I have the
authorization to come here,

to come here and examine the prisoners.

I was ordered by Colonel Gunter.

These prisoners are top secret.

You need an order signed by Frau Hortz

and not by Colonel Gunter.

Do I make myself clear?

And unless you want to join
the prisoners permanently,

I advise you never to come here

without a pass signed by Frau Hortz.

I said I oppose it!

It's not only because that
lieutenant Muller has taken that

Dr. Baskova under his protection.

Those were my instructions, Frau Hortz!

Ha!

- I've had enough of your
perpetual insinuations.

Lieutenant Muller is an excellent officer.

He doesn't seem at home here at all.

Happily I heard he's
applied for a transfer

to the front line.

Yes, but I know his motives.

And I refused it.

On the contrary it's
your transfer to Berlin

that I'm applying for

and tomorrow.

Without the shadow of a valid reason!

I'm the only one to maintain

a semblance of discipline in here.

- Well just start by carrying
out my orders, Frau Hortz.

And as to a reason I've a good one,

all the girls hate you.

And one of these days
there will be a mutiny.

You're not alone.

I too have friends in Berlin.

And I'm advising you just
don't ever forget it.

Shakespeare.

That's Shakespeare, Frau Hortz.

Do you know anything about
Shakespeare, Frau Hortz?

No of course not.

I don't suppose your friends in Berlin

have any knowledge of Shakespeare either.

Hmph.

Good day, Frau Hortz.

- Good morning, Erik, I
imagine you must have received

my invitation for this evening.

- Yes I did but unfortunately
I shall be busy this evening.

As I proposed myself as
guard duty officer tonight.

You made a mistake.

Your precious protege will be there though

and General Gross will also be there.

She'll like that.

But you're not going

to like what I've got to tell him.

- I can't think
what you're talking about.

Really?

Those two large sealed
sacks secretly taken

to the incinerators and burnt
with the rest of the rubbish

might interest General Gross quite a lot.

Accidents doubtless but these girls are-

That's enough.

No one could care less about
those whores except you,

lieutenant, an attitude
that could cost you dear.

You don't frighten me, Frau Hortz.

I've asked headquarters
for an immediate transfer

to the eastern front.

A piece of advice, keep
right out of my way.

Again, cough again.

Breath in.

What is the matter?

You're all right.

I can't find a thing wrong.

Perhaps you've just been overdoing things.

- No Nathalie, I'm afraid my
problem is to be found there.

I'm sorry, Frau Hortz.

I can only prescribe a
good dose of bromide.

But you'll see that after
a good night's sleep

you'll feel much better.

You're obviously extremely tired.

Thank you.

Now I can see that you
really couldn't give a damn

about my physical needs.

That's not true at all

but my skills veer towards
the medical, Frau Hortz.

Very well.

As I can't rely on your
personal collaboration it seems,

well we'd better forget medicine.

I've organized a reception
for General Gross this evening

and I'm counting absolutely
on your presence.

My guests sit down to table at 10.

In these clothes?

No I couldn't possibly.

Thanks but no.

I'll just stay in the
infirmary, that's my place.

- Nathalie I'll find
the right dress for you.

- Please don't, I just
don't feel like going.

But I demand that you do!

That's an order.

Do you see?

You will appear this
evening hair done, made up

in the main dining room
at exactly 10 o'clock.

Is that clear?

A toast to our dear General Gross.

Come here, give me a kiss.

- You know my dear General
my one wish is that you would

come here without the
excuse of battle fatigue.

If I didn't it would follow me.

Then that silly idiot raised her hand

so I spitted her like a chicken.

Gentlemen please listen to me.

It would be a pity to leave
to chance such an important

decision as who you're going
to spend the night with,

don't you agree?

So to finish this agreeable evening,

with your permission,
dear General, of course.

Naturally.

Well then, a little fun.

I suggest that each girl in turn be

the stake in a game of cards.

Bravo!

Naturally the winner having the right

to do as he wishes with his prize.

Is that all right?

Naturally.

Let's see now.

As the first stake.

Yes I propose Nathalie.

Good.

She must account

What's going on here?

I don't know, sir.

I heard a thud from this room.

I came in and found him lying here.

So I called the guard at once.

His pulse is extremely weak.

Hold his head up but don't move him.

I'll be right back.

Very well, sir.

Well good luck to the winner.

What is it, Muller?

Please excuse the interruption, General.

- On the contrary, my boy,
come and have a drink.

- But of course, lieutenant,
come and have a drink.

We must all drink a toast to the fortune

of Colonel Von Speigle,

he has just won an entire
night with Nathalie.

You must excuse me, Colonel,

but I must take Nathalie away.

Colonel Gunter needs her.

Can you come?

Just a minute, lieutenant, I won her

and I intend to enjoy her.

Take someone else.

I don't think you understand, Colonel.

It's in her capacity as
a doctor she's needed.

With your permission, sir.

- No, no, Von Spiegle forget
about it, don't worry.

Calm down, there that's the way to behave,

we'll get you another girl.

There sit down.

Feeling better?

Now on with the game, the next prize

to be won will be Lotta.

How is he?

Well, his pulse is more regular.

Could you get his medical chart?

He'll need a cardio tonic

and probably he'll need a transfusion.

There's too much alcohol in his blood.

Right.

Is that the infirmary?

Muller here.

I'm in the Colonel's office.

Would you please send over
his medical chart at once?

Do you need anything else?

Yes, a stretcher so he can be carried.

Anything else?

Yes, a stretcher so he can be carried.

I think it would be better
if you would put him

in my room tonight,

it'll be easier for me
to keep an eye on him.

All right.

Muller.

I suppose the Colonel's drunk?

Nathalie, when you've put
him to bed in his room

you'll kindly return to the party.

It's useless to try wakening a drunk.

- No, Miss Baskova, you will
kindly stay in your room

and take care of the
Colonel until you receive

further orders.

Hmph.

You'll pay for this, Muller.

- There's an ill man in
that room, Frau Hortz,

and I think you might have the
decency to lower your voice

and go away.

Hello there.

Come to me.

Come on, darling.

No let me go!

Let me go!

Colonel!

Since when have German
officers taken advantage

of women against their will?

- Keep your nose out of
my business, lieutenant.

Shut up, drunkard.

Come, come on.

You all right?

Yes, oh but you're wounded.

- Don't worry it's just a
scratch, nothing serious.

Oh, Erik.

It's stopped bleeding now.

You don't need a bandage.

Good night, lieutenant

and thank you for doing what you did.

- Darling.
- Wait.

Did you hear something?

No, nothing.

Hmm.

Why are you leaving so early?

Early?

Do you know the time?

I've been here for hours.

Oh Erik, I must go.

If I don't leave you
now, I'll never leave.

Guards, sound the alarm!

The Colonel's been killed!

Guards, hurry up!

Come here!

The Colonel's been killed!

Guards, all in here come on!

Guards, the Colonel's been killed!

Guards, come here!

Oh come here!

Guards!

Arrest her!

I saw her push him down the stairs!

No I didn't!

Arrest her!

Sound the alarm!

Arrest that woman!

Guards!

No it's not true!

Guards, arrest her!

No, it's not true I swear it!

She killed the Colonel!

- No, no I've done
nothing, please let me go.

Put her in the dungeon.

No, no.

She has killed Colonel Gunter.

No, no, no!

Let me go please!

No, no!

Let me go, let me go!

Take her away!

What the hell's going on?

Why have you arrested her?

For murder, Muller.

Nathalie Baskova murdered Colonel Gunter.

That's impossible she was-

- Oh I know, Erik, she was
on the stairs behind Gunter

and she took her opportunity.

I'm counting on you to send
someone to remove the body

of that drunken swine.

Goodnight, lieutenant.

What's your name?

Nathalie Baskova.

And you?

Ingrid.

What's the matter?

Nothing, excuse me.

I'm not so sure as to where I am.

- What did you do to get
thrown into this hole?

Did you upset the sadist upstairs?

- They're saying that I'm the
murderer of Colonel Gunter.

- If you would make a
little effort, I'm sure

that we would be able to
collaborate together, lieutenant.

Ah, you haven't heard
the latest news's yet.

General Von Ru nstead has
insisted that I assume

provisionally the full
command here at Steelberg.

On awaiting official
confirmation of my appointment.

Aren't you going to congratulate me, Erik?

Oh I've no doubt you'll always get

just what you want, Helga.

- Heavens, what makes
you use my name today?

You want me to do you some sort of favor?

I fear that term is incorrect,

it's rather clarification I want.

What are you doing?

Have you gone mad, Erik?

- You hated two people at
Steelberg, everybody knows.

But how did you manage to eliminate

both of them at one blow?

Let me go!

Your passion for that little Russian whore

with whom you slept has
completely warped your judgment.

- Last night I heard
noises from the corridor,

as though someone was spying on me.

It was you, I now know who pushed Gunter.

It was you who killed Gunter.

- Don't ever repeat that
accusation again, Muller!

It's unworthy.

A German officer trying
to pin a crime on another

German officer in order
to protect an enemy of the

great Third Reich.

- Frau Hortz, if one of us
is dishonoring the uniform

of the Third Reich it is you.

German's of your type are giving the world

ample reason for hating us.

For the very last time, be careful!

- I'm warning you, Frau Hortz,
that with all my strength

I'm gonna try and stop
you murdering that woman.

Enemy or not, you know that
Nathalie Baskova is innocent.

Your story doesn't hold water.

It's useless to keep on trying.

Go back and see your Helga and tell him-

Just a minute, you're wrong.

I was given a message for
you, a phrase by Guter.

Oh yes, one's duty is to bring to an end

what is offered everyday.

Yes I know how it goes.

Why didn't you tell me before?

I'm Ingrid Wasering.

You can't imagine what the Germans

would give to know who I am.

It's been three months I've been tortured.

So long.

- My false papers didn't
stand up to examination.

And what are they doing in London?

Do you think they'll help me escape.

Oh yes, after losing contact with you

they became very worried.

Everything depended on your courage.

- This Wasering affair
is beginning to worry me.

I'll tell you why.

Three of our agents who had
been in contact with her

have been arrested on the
face of it no connection

but somehow I think there's a tie up.

- I think you're being
to suspicious, Mortimer.

Perhaps, perhaps I am.

But I work on this principal,
should there be a mishap

in the system that could be
a chance, two a coincidence

but three means someone
has betrayed the setup.

Well I'm here to inform you

that I've secreted someone into Steelberg.

Do you have news of England?

No, I'm in the dark like you.

But the situation is getting better.

The front is nearing Steelberg

and this is what we have decided,

one of the police chiefs,
Evan, knows this Ingrid well.

Have you any idea of the contacts

we should use in this area?

Should we manage to escape
we'd need a safe house.

Shh.

- That's an order,
Nathatlie Baskova.

Rescue Ingrid Wasering.

Rescue Ingrid Wasering.

Or kill her.

Kill her.

Kill her.

Kill her.

That's enough.

The game's up, my dear.

I'd hoped you'd given me
some useful information

but I see London prefers
more direct methods.

What do you mean by that?

Who are you?

I'm an agent of the German espionage.

Before she died, we made Ingrid talk.

Your network was blown
more than three weeks ago.

We were pretty sure someone
would try and rescue her.

Now you'd better talk if you want

to avoid unnecessary suffering.

I'll never talk.

That's what they all say.

You must stop at once!

You won't get anything
out of her that way,

you'll just kill her.

- If you have a better
idea, I'll leave it to you.

But something just occurred to me.

Muller.

I was just speaking to the
General on the telephone.

Nathalie Baskova will be sentenced

tomorrow morning at nine.

The sentence has already been decided.

But we would like to act legally.

So we'll need to find a defense lawyer.

Are you listening to me?

Yes of course.

I was thinking, yes to be
sure, I'll take care of it.

I knew I could count on you.

Goodnight, Muller.

Heil Hitler!

Heil Hitler.

I wish to talk to the prisoner
alone in private, Corporal.

I'm her defense lawyer.

My orders are not to let anyone in.

- Very well, in that case
I'll take the responsibility.

Very well, lieutenant.

Nathalie, oh Nathalie.

Oh, Erik.

- Nathalie, now listen
carefully I want to help you.

Tomorrow you'll be tried and
you're going to be condemned

so listen carefully I
don't have much time.

I can't let them kill you
even if you are a spy.

I can't forget you saved my life.

Now listen to me, follow
my instructions exactly.

Please promise me that.

I'm going to help you escape,
it's the only way out.

I've a plan.

- I too would very much
like to hear your plan,

lieutenant Muller.

We heard every word you said.

Useless denying it.

I am accusing you,
Muller, of high treason.

Consider yourself under arrest.

Now boys, you all know what to do.

You're not to use firearms

before you've neutralized the sentries.

- Right lads, get aboard the
truck and let's be on our way.

Come on, jump to it.

Oh have pity on him.

And now it's your turn for some fun.

Yes, now imagine if I put the lighted end

in your little eye.

Would you cry?

You would, wouldn't you?

And I'd softly burn these little lips.

Muller, if you want to save her

I've a proposition to offer you.

I want us to make love together
under Nathalie's very eyes.

If I'm properly satisfied, well,

I'll ask for her pardon.

No, Erik.

Come over here.

I prefer that she didn't hear
what I have to say to you.

My dear Helga, for a long time now

you've filled me with repugnance.

I'd rather die than make love to you.

The only feeling I can have
for you is one of hate.

Shut up!

Otherwise,

I give her the full works!

Don't listen to her, Erik.

I'm not afraid of her.

Muller, I be kind.

I'm going to let you spend
your last night together

just like a pair of turtle doves.

Goodnight Muller, goodnight.

Evan, Evan.

Are you all right, Nathalie?

Don't worry about me

but how did you manage to get in?

I'll explain all that later on.

Who's this fella?

Muller, he helped me.

Good, let's be off.

- No we can't go without
warning London first.

But I found a powerful
transmitter upstairs.

That would be madness, Nathalie.

Every minute counts.

- But for all those
agents who are parachuting

into German traps everyday
every minute counts!

We don't have time.

We must make time!

- Evan we've just blown
up the guard house.

Well done.

Come on, let's go.

Goodbye, Erik.

This is where we part.

No Nathalie,

I've come to a decision
never to leave you.

Come on.

Are you receiving me?

I repeat, all operations in this sector

must be suspended.

Hurry up, Von will counter attack

and we'll never get through the others.

- I have to repeat the
message for security reasons.

Hello, London-

Ah ha!

Is she dead?

Yes.

- Thank God she missed us,
but she got the transmitter.

It's completely broken.

Come on, let's get out of here.

Quick, quick, make for the woods.

Where's Nathalie?

Come!

Quick, make for the woods!

No, Erik no.

It's much better like this, you'll see.

Oh Erik!

Oh no Erik.

No Erik, no Erik.

No, Erik.

- Come on, Nathalie, we have
to get cover in the woods.

No, no.

Come on.

No, no, no, no.
