Mademoiselle Doctor
Since time immemorial, alongside the clamor of battle...
...spies and counter-espionage forces have waged a silent struggle.
Over time, techniques have improved, but the battles of secret agents...
...were and remain always implacable duels in the shadow.
In 1918, Salonika was one of the spots where these unsung foes clashed sharply.
Get up! - Already?
Ah, Commissioner!
No, it's not.
I've said all I'm going to say.
I know! Your name's Coudoyan.
We've got you dead to rights.
We'll have to send our regrets to your consulate.
You're perfectly well informed
It's my job.
Your job? Mine's the same!
Cigarette? - Thanks.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Well then let's get to the point.
We're in a hurry, I have work to do, and you...
You don't have very long to live.
Coudoyan, Gregor, born Athens 1878.
Parents Levantine. German agent.
Came to our notice for the first time in 1913.
My compliments. I don't know what else to add.
We've wanted to meet you for a long time.
But you have nothing on me.
Quite enough in Pisarro's papers to put a bullet in you.
That idiot!
You're starting to understand? -Oh, yes, perfectly.
Whom do I have the honor of addressing?
Commander Jacquart.
Chief of the Secret Service at my house?
I'm sorry to receive you in such an unworthy manner.
And I don't even have any port to offer you.
Enough clowning around!
So it's off to Vincennes? Yes, if you don't cooperate.
Maybe there's a way of postponing things?
How long?
Well, I've always dreamed of dying in my bed.
Rare in your profession.
I have piled up a few favors. In exchange...
Instead of the port, perhaps I could offer you something else.
Such as?
The list of German agents at Verdun.
Thanks - I already have it.
I thought you wanted to chat? - The conversation doesn't interest me.
The list of your agents in Germany.
So what? I already know them.
Yes, but perhaps you'd like to remain the only one who does.
Well?
If I keep the list from crossing the border, what will I get?
Your life.
Oh, my life! Without money...
You ask a lot. - Yes, but I offer a lot.
I'm listening.
Mademoiselle Doctor.
Something could be arranged. Produce her.
I don't have her on me.
You're very sure of yourself. You know where she is?
Yes. - Where?
At your shop. In the Secret Service.
Is he drunk?
No. Choloroform.
Get everyone.
Hello! Chief of Security, quickly!
Quick! They're waiting for you.
What is it? - They're summoning the troops.
Jacquart is there? - Yes.
The list of our agents. This is terrible.
We have to warn them right away.
The list has been gone for hours.
It'll take days to reach some of them.
Rome, Cologne. - We have to phone them via Geneva!
What about Bavaria? - Not in under a week!
It's impossible.
Come in!
Excuse me for not using the password.
When did you cross the border?
I waited until this morning - it was safer.
I just arrived in Berne.
You pulled off a magnificent job.
Yes, I know. Right now you're depressed and discouraged.
You swear you'll never do it again.
You know me. But this time I've made up my mind.
As always. I know how you are once the danger's passed.
Some agents need drugs for stimulation.
Your drug is danger.
Not anymore.
You'll go back to it.
Colonel Mathiesus - I'd like a long holiday.
Done! - Thank you.
When are you leaving for Berlin?
Tonight. It's very worrying.
I've been waiting for news from Salonika; so far, nothing.
I'm afraid of a disaster; they're planning something.
Here in Berne there's a Bulgarian emissary...
...and Colonel Bourget of the French General Staff.
They're probably negotiating a separate peace with the Allies.
No doubt discussions will continue in Salonika.
If contact isn't re-established, we'll be paralyzed.
You have to send someone. - Our best agents are busy.
What about me? I'm free.
You? You're on holiday.
My holiday's over, since you need me. - I'll go to Salonika.
Were you worried? - No.
You know me better than I know myself.
When do you want me to go?
What is it?
Now that you've accepted, I hesitate to send you into this wasp's nest.
In this line of work, we're all at risk.
I'd like to spare you.
Thank you. But the job comes first.
You're right.
Can you leave tomorrow? - Of course.
Your new papers are already prepared.
Here's an American passport.
You're Lilian Stanley, Special Correspondent for the New York Star.
Here are your latest articles. - Magnificent!
All measures have been taken to back up your identity, you can count on me.
As soon as you arrive, go to a nightclub; I'll give you the address.
The owner is one of our people.
What is the password? - It's in two parts.
The question is, "What are you thinking about?"
And the answer? - "The great adventure."
"The great adventure."
What is it? - A spy.
A spy! Get the traitor!
Any news? - Nothing. I'm still confident.
If this keeps up, I'll go crazy.
They aren't onto us yet. But I can't take it anymore.
I can't take a step, I can't walk in the street.
Everytime someone looks at me I think it's over.
Calm down, my dear; it won't be long before things are taken care of.
Finally!
What's wrong?
They caught Michel. - You're sure?
I saw it. And I was followed.
Are you crazy? And you came here?
What do you want me to do?
It's him!
Can I help you, sir?
I'd like a melon. A nice melon.
Choose for yourself, sir.
Hello, sir. I think we've already met.
And what might you be doing with that fine knife?
It's to cut this open.
It looks nice, but I don't trust appearances.
I like to get under the surface.
Please, sir - no doubt you have more experience than I do.
Magnificent.
I've never had anything like it.
How much? - One drachma.
Thank you. - Is there anything else?
No, not today.
But I'll be back.
He seems like a nut.
You panicked for nothing.
You'd hardly consider him normal.
There are plenty of police in the city, and lunatics too.
Now tell me, when was the last time you saw Michel?
Earlier today. - He's the sixth one!
In three weeks. - Who'll be next?
We won't make it through the week.
Are you two done?
It's time for you to go to the nightclub.
No! I want to stay with you two! I'm scared!
Let her stay, chief.
Come on, kids. Let's not lose our heads.
The messenger from Berlin won't look for us here, but at the nighclub.
They don't know that the owner has been caught.
If Gaby's not there every night we could lose our last chance.
You're right. I'll go.
I'll go with you. - No.
No sense both of you getting caught.
Don't lose hope. Perhaps right now one of our people is on the way.
What do you want me to do? The tracks have been bombed!
But I have business in Salonika! I can't wait here for a week!
Everyone has business in Salonika, and no one wants to wait.
We'll have instructions in an hour.
I want to rent your car.
I'm not renting the car, I'm selling.
How much?
Your maximum is my minimum.
Sixty drachmas! - No drachmas - pounds!
Forty pounds! - Sixty!
Start at one hundred. - Two hundred!
Nothing to say?
Well? - Madame?
Aren't you driving?
I sold you the car; I'm more expensive.
I'll buy you out!
One hundred and twenty! - One-fifty!
Do you know how to drive? - No.
How about you? - No. Do you?
Badly.
Officer, do you know how to drive?
Can't you go any faster?
Sure. But the car can't.
In a hurry? - Very.
That's a problem, because I don't know the way.
This way? Or through the wood?
That's what the map says.
You're good at reading maps.
A journalist has to know how to do everything.
A journalist? - Yes, and you?
Before the war I was a lawyer.
A great lawyer?
Better than average.
So which way? - Left.
Direction of the heart.
Direction of the clouds.
What a trip! - You need a raincoat!
Let me put up the hood.
Broken.
What should we do?
Do you want to go on? - It's impossible!
There's a house over there.
Saved!
Come on.
Yes, I believe in luck.
If it weren't for the storm, we wouldn't be here.
It was the right road.
The cloudy road.
The road of the heart.
Have you ever eaten potatoes with a man you don't know?
I told you, I'm a journalist. I've had a lot of experiences.
I keep forgetting.
What's your name?
Lilian Stanley, New York Star. And you?
Georges Carrère
Georges Carrère, Esquire.
Oh, that's long ago...years. Now I'm...
Captain Carrère.
Yes, one day a lawyer, the next day a captain.
You're lucky, whether it's war or peace, you're Lilian Stanley, New York Star.
Yes, I'm lucky.
Hey! I invited the young lady!
Sounds like a good idea!
I didn't invite the whole army!
Just got here this morning and find a whole crowd ahead of me!
You arrived yesterday?
Yes, on the Sagallian.
Miss, the proprietor is back; he's in his office.
Thank you. Excuse me.
You're going?
I'll be right back.
You want to see the boss? Well, give him this. It'll help.
Thanks.
Come in!
Yes? - Are you the owner?
What do you want? A job?
Do you know the work?
I'm Miss Stanley.
Oh, I don't care what your name is.
As long as it's not too long. Can you start right away?
I've come a very long way to see you.
You're right.
We have a very good reputation.
But... what are you thinking about?
What?
What are you thinking about?
That's none of your business!
You just meet me and ask questions like that?
What's the meaning of this? You want to give us a bad name?
OK, I get it. Go back out front and leave me alone.
I see. And I apologize - I was expecting the former owner.
You knew him before?
Yes, I used to work with him, and I knew his tastes. See?
Well, why didn't you say so?
I've only been here a day. He had some difficulties.
Difficulties? - Yes. He's dead.
Poor guy.
I told you she'd come back!
Gaby! Gaby!
I'd like to start with "What are you thinking about?"
What's the name of the song?
"What are you thinking about?"
She always starts her act with that song.
Everyone has their faults
I know it well, That's how it goes.
When affairs turn out bad for me
I take the first opportunity To end them all.
What are you thinking about, Monsieur?
If it's me, don't bother!
What are you thinking about, Monsieur?
Or maybe it's just my appearance.
Just between us, I think it's the sort of thing
That would suit you very well.
Everything sweet and charming
What are you thinking about?
I'd like to get the chance
To have the time To find out everything
Why are you yawning at the ceiling,
Instead of doing What we know so well?
What are you thinking about, Monsieur?
Smiling at me from under your hat.
What are you thinking about, Monsieur?
Are you done with me and on to another?
Just between us, I really think it's better
For you to go out with your girl.
Everything sweet and charming
What are you thinking about?
What are you thinking about, Monsieur?
You're in love, no matter what you say.
What are you thinking about, Monsieur?
Or is it my dress that's so attractive?
All of a sudden I think I'll try
To get you back again.
I just don't understand it at all
What are you thinking about?
I'm thinking about Mademoiselle!
I'm thinking about 'the great adventure'.
What a funny reply!
Simonis fruitseller, 14 rue Gamas
Hello, Commander.
Welcome. Come in.
First of all, I have personal news for you.
Your son has been wounded, but he is recovering.
He's been decorated.
My son must think his father is in a strange profession.
A hard profession.
Our comrades at the front are no better off, but they can at least write their wives...
...and hear news of their children.
Here.
You ran the risk of bringing me this letter?
It was well hidden. We knew you'd be happy to get it.
Thank you. May I?
Excuse me. People like us shouldn't have families.
Perhaps.
And how is the war going?
Not well. It's here on the eastern front that things will be decided.
They are preparing something important.
I know. Every day Allied soldiers disembark.
They are going to attack the German lines...
...and no doubt reach a separate peace with the Bulgarians.
Exactly. But why didn't you pass on this news?
I sent three letters. - Via our agents?
They didn't come back.
They never arrived.
I knew it. Carl, who ran the nightclub, was captured. Two others were at home.
We all feel at any moment we could be next.
Be careful. What's your identity in Salonika?
Lilian Stanley, New York Star.
You mustn't come here again - it's too dangerous.
I'll put my best agent at your disposal.
What's his name? - For now he's called Anjal.
Good. I'll expect him at 11:00 tomorrow night at the bar of the Bristol Hotel.
Gentlemen, we are in agreement.
Without officially endorsing Mr. Grigoriev's mission...
...we will authorize him to transmit privately the proposals of our states.
The Allied governments that we represent make no commitment, and leave Mr. Grigoriev...
...the initiative of making an approach to the Bulgarian government.
A practical question: how will Mr. Grigoriev cross the lines?
It's all taken care of.
Colonel Bourget of the French General Staff will make the arrangements.
If you'll wait a little, Miss Stanley, you can see the Consul himself.
With so many people, the meeting will last a long time, don't you think?
Here they come - it's over.
Please come in, Miss Stanley.
Thank you.
Tell me, Mr. Grigoriev, aren't you afraid of being captured?
Oh no, everything's taken care of!
I've very much enjoyed your articles, Miss Stanley.
I'm so pleased your paper sent you to Salonika.
I'm only sorry that I can't guide you around myself.
I have meetings all day.
Can I hope for an interview some other time?
After the war, Miss Stanley! No interviews before the victory.
Which will be soon, I hope. - Perhaps.
Excuse me.
Colonel Bourget? Ask him to come in.
You see? My first meeting.
Please come to the reception we're having Thursday evening.
Then we can have a leisurely chat.
But not on the record - promise?
With pleasure.
Oh! I've forgotten... - What?
I need to phone my hotel. I'm expecting a telegram.
Please, call from here.
Hotel Bristol.
Here. - Thank you.
Hotel Bristol? The commissionaire, please.
This is Miss Stanley. Do you have a telegram for me?
No? You're sure? Thank you.
Colonel Bourget, Miss Lilian Stanley, New York Star.
I've heard a great deal about you, Colonel.
We try to be talked about as little as possible!
Until Thursday.
Everything's arranged for Grigoriev's departure.
Oh, I've hurt myself!
Please call my car.
Miss Stanley - it's at the corner.
But I can't leave the telephone.
You're right - I'll have to go myself.
I'll go. - Thank you.
I'll be right back.
We'll supply Mr. Grigoriev with the documents he needs to cross the lines.
He can't cross the lines until midnight.
We'll pick him up at 10:00 sharp at the Hotel Bristol.
He just has to tell the driver to take him to the White Tower.
That'll do. - Agreed.
If this works, the war could be over soon, Colonel.
I couldn't see your car, so I found you another one.
You're very kind. Thank you!
Ready.
Can you hear me? Good.
Stand by - I'll call back soon.
Someone's coming.
You gave us a scare.
This is Alexandre.
We've succeeded in getting a direct phone line to the front.
To the front?
I've found a farmer who's ready to pass signal messages to the Germans.
So the lines of communication are re-established?
Not yet. First we have to contact the Germans and establish a code.
To do that, we have to get across the lines.
And that's difficult. - Almost impossible.
We'll do it tonight. Can I use this man?
We're all at your disposal.
You'll come tonight at 9:50 exactly to the Hotel Bristol.
Mr. Grigoriev, please.
Mr. Grigoriev!
Did you request a car, sir?
You're early.
They told me you were in a hurry.
That's right. I'm coming.
Here they come.
What is this?
Get out and keep quiet.
What time is it? - Five to.
Just in time.
Not bad today. Some pretty women in Salonika.
There's a new one.
Just a minute.
Goodbye.
Hello! Why do you say goodbye?
Because last time we didn't say goodbye.
What did you leave like that?
Don't forget, I have a very demanding profession.
Despite those demands, would you care to dance?
Going to the White Tower? - Yes sir.
Let's go.
You win again, Mr. Leo!
Yes, I always win at baccarat. Do you have a cigarette?
What time is it?
Eleven.
I walked 5 kilometers carrying my suitcase before I found a car!
I thought I'd never make it.
What time is it? - Eleven.
Already?
What will you have? - An orangeade.
An orangeade and a whiskey.
Good evening, Captain! - Good evening.
Mr. Anjal, Miss Lilian Stanley, New York Star.
Perhaps you're here for the same reason I am:
The great adventure.
Exactly. And I read your last report. What are you thinking of?
Congratulations.
You two talk as if you know each other.
Excuse me.
Is there a problem, Captain?
They're not too happy with you at Intelligence.
It's difficult.
There are still some clever agents in Salonika.
And after all, you've caught 6 in 2 months!
Don't forget, you're free to move around in Salonika on condition.
With you, Captain, it's hard to forget.
Don't joke, it would be better to act
Is that a threat? - Advice.
Can you have 2 inspectors on hand tonight?
Of course. Where?
14 Simon Street.
I'll be sure you don't escape me again.
I had to do something for one of my friends.
I'm cold - would you please bring me my cape? I left it on the chair.
Impossible to speak here.
It's absolutely necessary.
Then meet me later on, 14 Simon Street. Ask for Mr. Leo.
It's a little bizarre but... a style, an extraordinary color!
There. - Thank you.
Well, you must excuse me - I have an appointment.
Finally! - Why?
Two reasons: first of all, I don't like him.
You have something against him?
No. Just an impression.
And the second reason?
That would take a long time to explain.
The lines are behind this little wood.
Take the path to the right.
If you go left, you'll run into the German lines.
He'll be back tomorrow. Call me when he returns.
Mr. Leo, please. - Ah, good! He's waiting for you.
Take the lady to number 12. - This way, Madame.
Mr. Leo is there? - For ages.
With a client all this time? - No, no client.
So he's alone, then? - No, he's got a dame.
We're up watching while he entertains himself.
Col. Mathiesus decided to send me here to direct operations.
Congratulations.
For Mathiesus to entrust Salonika to you now, you must be an extraordinary woman.
So you are another Mademoiselle Doctor.
They just missed me four days ago.
That was you? Please sit down.
Thank you, I prefer to stand.
Fantastic!
You're not at all what I expected.
I thought you'd have big glasses and hair tied back.
Haven't you ever changed your appearance?
Yes, that's true, but you never know with a woman.
Simonis should have warned me!
It doesn't matter.
Listen, I've just arranged the disappearance of the Bulgarian emissary.
When? - Just now.
Alexandre has gone in his place.
He'll cross the German lines and will pass the news to Mathiesus.
He'll be back in the morning with further instructions.
I think you're amazing.
The Allies do too.
They just put a price my head.
I know. 500,000 francs.
This is an odd place to choose for a meeting.
You didn't think so when you first arrived.
How do you explain all the arrests you've had here?
There is a traitor among us.
There is a traitor, but not among us.
What do you mean?
The first one or two were arrested for normal crimes;
One of the two betrayed the others to save his skin.
Men want to live, especially in wartime.
Six arrests in one month to save one's skin - that's expensive.
Maybe they threatened him, or maybe he's fond of money.
It's disgusting.
Perhaps the first one was disgusting.
But that's the way of the world, life goes on.
If I could, I'd kill him like a dog.
Me too... if I could.
I must go.
You have no instructions for me?
I've thought it over. I'll give them to you tomorrow.
You don't trust me.
I'm your boss - I don't trust anyone but myself.
Let me check if the coast is clear.
There might be someone looking for that 500,000 franc reward.
So? Anything? - No, I got you here for nothing.
It's safe - you can go.
Listen and believe me: you can count entirely on my devotion.
These urgent documents are for headquarters.
Understood.
How about our contact?
We have a friend on hill 140. Look at the map.
He's here, in the little white farmhouse. - I know it.
It's in sector 89.
If we receive instructions for you, how will we communicate?
We'll pass it on by telephone - we have a direct line.
Now in an emergency, he'll use lights during the night.
One light means "Troops disembarking - send planes at once."
Two lights: "Invasion is imminent."
One light: "Troops disembarking - send planes at once."
Two lights...
Well? The two inspectors came back emptyhanded. What happened?
A change of plan. - You think that explanation will do?
If the man didn't come, we'll just have to wait for another time.
I advise you to take a close look at the Bulgarian emissary when he returns.
You may find him a bit changed.
Interesting.
You'll come with me?
It may not be prudent... - Come on!
Well then...
You're not too tired?
No, I'm fine.
Beautiful, isn't it? - Marvellous.
I'm very lucky.
Think how many events combined to put us together here in the Greek countryside.
That's true.
I would have liked to order something else. Guess what?
Champagne and potatoes!
You remember!
Since finding you again, things look different.
When I arrived, the commanding officer suggested I stay in Salonika. I refused.
Now I want to.
You shouldn't.
You don't want me to stay with you?
I don't want you to change anything because of me.
I don't want you to have regrets later.
Alright, I'll leave.
You don't give me much encouragement.
It's late. We have to go back.
What is that?
A spy; they're taking him to the firing squad.
Good night.
What's wrong?
I'm scared.
She's not in her room? Do you know where she is?
"She"?
Thank you.
Who "she"? Who are you calling? - None of your business.
He calls a lot. Is it painful for you?
What?
Well, you used to be the only one.
No, no, we're not together anymore.
So they come here? - Of course!
He likes to indulge himself.
Hello Gaby! Looking for Leo? He's over there.
It's decided. You'll join my staff.
I'll make a terrible intelligence officer, Colonel.
Nonsense. From what I've heard, you'll do very well.
I'm not so sure.
You spent 4 years in the trenches and were wounded - that's enough.
Your reputation speaks for itself.
I'll do my best.
You can prove your qualities at once.
The German espionage service did us a good turn last night.
We tried to pass a message to the Bulgarians.
Our messenger was abducted.
That's disastrous! - Only half-disastrous.
We took precautions. Listen...
Are you waiting for someone?
No. - Then you'll permit me.
It would be better not to talk here.
But this is urgent.
I've just learned that the message we intercepted is worthless.
Why?
Colonel Bourget cut the message in two, and we only have half.
Then they'll send another messenger.
Everything's changed. I protested, but I've been assigned to the general staff.
So then you're not leaving for the front?
I'm leaving Salonika tonight... just for a few hours.
There's a reception at the U.S. Consulate tonight.
I thought we might go together.
I know when we're leaving, but I don't know when I'll be back.
My job is almost as demanding as yours.
I think the front will be quieter!
Yes... but it's farther away.
Until this evening.
Congratulations.
Why?
The documents are in his briefcase.
He's going to take them to the Bulgarian lines.
You're extra lucky. - What do you mean?
I wouldn't be surprised if you already have that paper.
After all, you do have easy access to Captain Carrère
What's it to you?
A whiskey!
Darling, earlier downstairs, I didn't tell you the most important thing...
I love you.
Where was Leo last night?
Playing baccarat.
From 10:30 to midnight, I know, but how about earlier?
Earlier?
What's happened?
Alexandre was arrested at 8:00 last night.
I had a meeting with Leo and he didn't come.
Now I remember: he was with me.
All day? - Yes.
Thanks.
Lucky for him.
No need to tell him about my visit.
Miss Stanley? I hope I'm not disturbing you.
I'm going out. There's a reception at the U.S. Consulate.
What do you want?
I was wondering if you found your necklace?
No. I looked where it was supposed to be but it wasn't there.
That doesn't surprise me - it's in my pocket.
I found it before you.
I must see you immediately.
With pleasure. How about half an hour?
Same place as the other night.
It's hopping tonight!
Room 12? - Like with you.
These gamblers - they've got so many women, they need to take a number!
Mr. Leo. - He's not here yet, Madame.
You may go up to number 12; I'm sure you know the way.
Mr. Leo phoned to say he'd be here shortly.
If you need something...
What a showoff! He likes them like that.
A decent girl wouldn't have him.
Good evening.
You didn't expect me, did you?
It's not me you're running to meet, it's another.
What's the meaning of this?
All those things you said to me weren't true.
Shut up!
You just made a fool of me!
Shut up! Go home right now, you hear?
Leo, you don't love her, you can't!
Oh don't bother me with your nonsense.
Don't go! Just a minute!
She can wait, since I've been waiting for you!
What's wrong with you? You know I'm only here on business.
I don't give a damn about the woman.
Oh, you don't give a damn? Then why don't you turn her in?
What?
Like Alexandre, like the others. I know you're a double agent.
You're crazy!
Listen, with 500,000 francs, we can have a nice life together after the war!
No, you won't - you don't want me anymore.
It's her now.
I know why you won't turn her in - she's the one you want!
Leo - choose me!
Of course, my dear, nothing has changed between us.
Then stay with me tonight!
Impossible. I've got urgent business.
That's not true! - Oh, let me go!
I warn you, I'm capable of anything!
Excuse me, I was detained.
You have the papers? - Yes.
What right did you have to take them?
I wanted to save you the trouble.
Who's in charge, you or me? Hand them over!
All in good time. I'd like to talk to you.
Don't touch me!
Get out.
You're being reckless.
What's reckless is carrying on this charade.
Don't you like it?
That's not the question.
Yes that's precisely the question.
You're crazy! - I knew it the first night we met here.
Couldn't you tell that I love you?
You bore me.
Give me the papers!
So you can give them back to your lover?
Is it your job to spy on me?
I may be crazy, but you're 100 times crazier.
What were you thinking, getting involved with the enemy?
Even if he were German, you know the rules for people like us.
Love is forbidden for agents.
Stop! You're a monster!
We are monsters.
I want to speak to the duty officer.
Speaking. Who is this?
You don't want to give your name?
I want to denounce a German spy known as Mademoiselle Doctor.
It's Miss Lilian Stanley.
Miss Stanley?
That's all.
Hello! Don't hang up!
When did you discover the theft? - A few minutes ago.
Do you suspect someone?
Come in.
Colonel. - What is it, Louvier?
I've just received a surprising phone call.
From whom? - Anonymous - a woman.
It was a denunciation? - Yes, Colonel.
It concerns Miss Lilian Stanley, who is really Mademoiselle Doctor.
Another one? That's the fourth woman in Salonika said to be Mademoiselle Doctor.
I'm getting suspicious.
Colonel, will you permit me to leave for half an hour?
Where are you going?
The American Consulate.
The American Consulate? - Yes.
You know Miss Stanley quite well.
Yes, I know her.
When was the last time you saw her?
Before dinner. We met at the Hotel Bristol, in the lobby.
Alone? - No, with Mr. Anjal.
With Coudoyan. - No, Anjal.
Anjal, Coudoyan, it's the same thing. He's one of our agents.
A French agent? Odd, he doesn't appear trustworthy.
You see what a bad intelligence officer I am.
Not so bad as that. He's both very useful and very dodgy.
Just a minute - I'm going with you to the consulate.
Louvier, someone has stolen the new message from Carrère's room.
When? - Around 8:00.
Round up this Coudoyan at once.
That'll be easy. He'll be at his usual hangout.
Mr. Leo!
Someone's asking for you - number 12.
What's wrong? - Not easy to say.
We have a warrant, Mr. Leo.
So it's my turn? - That's life.
Someone's inside? - Yes.
Captain Louvier.
No trouble or we'll bust your chops.
Coudoyan refuses to give me document.
Convinced he's a double agent.
They've just arrested Leo! We've got to save him!
How do you think we can save him?
You have to do something! Please!
Calm down. Forget him.
I just learned that he's a traitor.
No! He didn't betray Mademoiselle Doctor! I did!
I called the police and informed on her!
You did that?
Men are more talkative with a woman - you have an advantage over us.
Men have an advantage - they're the ones who do the pursuing!
A message from the press agency has arrived for you.
The messenger insists on giving it to you personally.
Excuse me. - You see? Even the press agency is after you!
I must take this message.
Charming! A lovely American!
I can take home 400 francs per month.
And you? - One hundred.
Miss Stanley? - Yes.
A message for you.
You've been betrayed - get out.
Come with me. I'll give you the reply.
Troops disembarking all night; request planes immediately.
Deliver it to this address.
What will you do?
Return home and telephone.
You'll be caught! - No doubt.
Pass me your revolver.
Can you read my writing? - Perfectly, Madame.
Good luck. - You too.
It's urgent. Goodnight.
Good evening, Miss Stanley.
Leaving already?
You managed to come! For me?
For you.
Well then, I'll stay a little longer.
There he is!
Hello! Are you there?
One light! Just one!
I'm at your service, gentlemen.
Heinrich, call X6078 right away. One light. Do it at once.
If you're wrong, think of the scandal!
An American journalist arrested in her own consulate.
It would be terrible!
And we have ironclad proof of her identity.
Yes, I know, I know.
Look at that.
Miss Stanley, our special correspondent in Salonika.
Until proven otherwise, I consider Miss Stanley a fellow citizen.
There can be no question.
Hello? Don't go - Captain Louvier.
Yes. The documents? On Coudoyan? Where are you?
Good, stay there, I'm coming at once. I'll send someone.
They've found the documents? - Yes.
You see? Well, my friend, you were wrong about Miss Stanley.
I'm not so sure I was wrong.
Wait for me a few minutes.
You're not questioning me like a lover.
Are you answering me like a mistress?
Miss Stanley, forgive me for taking away Capt. Carrère on urgent business.
I was just going.
Please - I'm so delighted to see you, do wait for just a moment.
I'll wait, Colonel.
This is how you keep your promises?
I was looking for you to say goodnight, Colonel.
I'm rather tired.
Just a few minutes.
Today you're the interviewee, and I'm the reporter.
You're like an interview? - Exactly.
But it would be quieter in an office.
He came often with women, especially a singer, Gaby.
The last few times it was with a new one, very elegant.
Who is this woman? - A society lady.
Her name? - You're most indiscreet!
Coudoyan, I'm not in the mood for your witticisms.
You can go.
You know what's in store you?
I have a rough idea.
I'll be back.
Just a minute.
Was this the lady you saw with Coudoyan?
Yes, that's her.
You're sure you're not mistaken?
I don't think so.
Well? - Oh, I have nothing of interest to say.
You know what I'll do when it comes to saving my skin, and even less than that.
It was Miss Stanley. - Bravo.
You'll make a fine addition to the Secret Service.
Who is Miss Stanley?
Miss Stanley is Miss Stanley - the journalist.
Coudoyan, you're under a death sentence.
This is quite an honor.
I must know. - What?
Who is this woman?
It seems to me you know her better than I do.
Is that your last word?
One of them, because I think I can count the number I have left.
Why is that significant? I know Mr. Anjal.
And after all, Captain Carrère introduced me to him.
But you saw him without Captain Carrère.
So?
Personal conversations Miss Stanley had with Mr. Anjal are her private business.
Any discussions with Mr. Anjal, aka Coudoyan...
...are a matter for the military authorities.
I'm sure Miss Stanley would not refuse to give us an explanation.
Since my own Consul refuses to protect me, I wish to telegraph my newspaper.
Later, Mademoiselle.
I'm in no hurry.
You can telegraph your paper - it should be useful.
But first you'll tell me exactly where you were this evening.
At about 8:00.
Do you hear me, Mademoiselle?
I hear very clearly, Colonel.
Turn off the lights!
Down to the cellars, ladies and gentlemen! This way!
She's gone!
Stop that woman! Don't let her escape!
Keep calm! There's no danger!
