Pic 128. A relieved Jacques ushers them out of the safe house. They fail to spot a figure, behind them, hiding undercover, gun raised in defence. It is Rudi Bartos. He does not fire on them. PANEL ABOVE: JACQUES USHERED THE DUO OUTSIDE, TOWARDS A WAITING PICK-UP TRUCK, ITS ENGINES RUNNING. JACQUES: LET’S GO. THERE ISN’T MUCH TIME! RUDI THX: GOOD LUCK, CRAIG. KESSLER AND HIS SCUM ARE NO LOSS TO ME! PANEL BELOW: THEY FAILED TO SPOT RUDI, WHO WAS HIDING IN GOOD COVER. HE REMEMBERED A SCENE IN ONE OF NEVILLE’S FILMS, WHERE THE ACTOR PLAYED A CHIVALROUS OFFICER WHO DID NOT FIRE ON ESCAPING GERMAN PRISONERS. BECAUSE OF THIS, RUDI LET THEM GO. Pic 129. Our heroes are in a battered, but fast-moving pick-up truck, speeding away from the village. A German transport jeep is on their trail, but out of range. Jacques shouts to the driver. PANEL ABOVE: THERE WAS NO TIME FOR STEALTH. THE RESISTANCE FIGHTERS AND THEIR PASSENGERS RACED TOWARDS THE RENDEZ-VOUS POINT. CHARLIE: SOMEONE’S ON OUR TAIL! JACQUES: KEEP GOING! PANEL BELOW: THEIR PURSUERS WERE KESSLER’S BACK-UP STORMTROOPERS WHO HAD ARRIVED AT THE SAFEHOUSE ONLY TO FIND THEIR NEW C.O. DEAD. 64
Pic 130. At the airfield. We see that a British, Westland Lysander plane is waiting. The pilot talks to his co-pilot. The co-pilot points to an approaching pick-up truck. PANEL ABOVE: A WESTLAND LYSANDER STOOD AT THE PICK-UP POINT. ITS IMPATIENT PILOT WAS FLIGHT LIEUTENANT JOHN TRACEY. HIS SECOND-IN-COMMAND, CHRISTOPHER MCMAHON, NOTICED A VEHICLE APPROACHING AT SPEED. TRACEY: FIVE MORE MINUTES. THEN WE’RE OFF. MCMAHON: LOOK, SIR. IT MUST BE THEM! Pic 131. Neville and Charlie, about to board the plane, bid goodbye to Jacques. German bullets whistle closely. Pilot Tracey urges them to get moving. PANEL ABOVE: GERMAN BULLETS WHISTLED THROUGH THE DARK NIGHT, AS CHARLIE AND NEVILLE BID JACQUES FAREWELL. TRACEY: GENTLEMEN, IF YOU PLEASE… CHARLIE: THANKS AGAIN, JACQUES! JACQUES: AU REVOIR, MES AMIS! 65
