Shock Troops (Un homme de trop)

Get your men in position.

Be quick about it!

Ready?

Just about.

Get in position, for God's sake!

Hoff er! Hoff er!

Sir...

Aren't they to be executed there?!

No, Sir.

- What a cock-up! - Shut up!

Hang on to him, for God's sake!

He's an old guy.

Bring them out!

Very good, Sir!

There's still one more to come.

Tut, tut...

- It's OK. — Beat it!

Jean, it's ready.

Come on... out of there!

Start up the car!

Come on, push!

Shoot!

Stop!

Shoot out the spotlight!

Keep it, it might be useful.

Look out! Hide!

On this side... Thomas and his group are exposed...

Cover them!

- Thomas, it's up to us! - Come on, move it!

Goon"

Quick!

Go through there.

That's it... through there!

Philippe, go ahead.

- What about him? - You get him away.

OK, move it!

Paco... That's a machine-gun.

- You coming or not? - I'm doing as planned.

Toss that... It might knock you over.

This red bit here is us... Come on, that's the one.

You have a minute to open it.

Wait... leave it to me.

At the second explosion, signal the truck to come.

Wait... there!

You'd make damned good soldiers.

He's good, that one.

That's it.

Here we are... We go that way. Come on.

Damn fool!

What are you doing?

I'd rather be with you. What's that?

Give me a gun.

Grenade!

That's a fake one!

- Nothing else? - Nothing.

Let's go!

Gotta be careful... They'll be getting help.

My grenade...

Get down!

Philippe, get down!

Paco, this way!

Paco!

The prisoners!

- Colonel Guers? - We 're all here!

Why all together?

Do we open the other cells?

Condor Legion?

The crowbar!

- The crowbar! - It's in the truck.

Alright... guns! Out of the way, we'll shoot it open.

Check the other cells.

So, Philippe!

Someone's there.

Get back!

Why are you all in two cells?

We were put there when you attacked.

That's my grenades.

You see to the prisoners. Thomas is waiting for you up there.

They put a blowtorch to my feet.

Not you, Reverend. You stay here.

- Aren't we releasing them? - They're not our business.

Hurry up with the smoke!

Cover us!

Him again?

- Shoot him in the guts! - With that face?!

No, wait!

Doesn't hurt and keeps him busy.

Quick... quick!

What the hell are you doing?

The Kraut comes in... It falls and explodes.

Nasty, eh?!

This way... follow me!

They made it! We're Clearing out of here!

Keep your weapons ready till we get back to town.

Pull out!

We'll create a diversion!

This way... follow me!

All OK, Jean?

Everything except the delay.

Octave forgot his crowbar.

They're not up to it.

There are enough that are.

The driver's dead.

Look out!

What is it?

Stop!

A German patrol.

They'll block the town exit.

What if you attacked them?

We can't risk their lives.

We'll head for where they're coming from.

Let's go past the barracks.

- We'll go on foot. - There IS a rescue plan!

Come on!

- We've got all those freed? - Yes.

Why couldn't you be on time?

We'll go to my place. My wife doesn't know about it.

We'll make up a story.

Only one way to settle an argument with a woman...

And that's in bed.

Nobody is to leave. Post sentries...

and take care of the 12 guys from the prison.

You're going to rouse the neighbors.

Get in front of the exit.

You're there.

Where are the plans of the town?

Do we stay here today and then leave tonight?

I don't know. Depends on the Krauts.

Paco, get Philippe and follow me.

We'll work things out as we go.

- The wounded man needs attention. - I'm taking care of it.

- Me too! - One's enough!

He was afraid. Instead of staying, he followed us.

We couldn't bring his body back.

His family will need to be warned to hide.

My wife... some friends.

One of them's wounded.

His feet are burned. You got any ointment?

My sister will give you what you need.

Micheline?

Use this... You're going to scare the children.

There's the prison... my house...

Firstly, you should go out through there.

Come in here.

Here... clean yourselves up.

The kids are asleep...

That's the little ones' bedroom.

They're going to watch the street, if...

There's a good view of the street from the window.

That one there.

Come on.

You can see the whole street from the balcony.

This is the middle kids' bedroom... and that's the big kids'...

- You have a lot of kids! - 9, when they're all awake.

- Careful not to show yourself. - Of course.

You've woken everyone up.

Who are you? Are you the eldest?

No... Dad's the eldest.

It's not here, it's higher up.

Good... even better.

I'll keep you waiting.

I deserve a spanking, eh?

Especially when I'm like this.

The spanking's for later.

- I do my final year exam this year. - Me too.

- In a crummy school. - Makes no difference.

You must be good at gymnastics.

That's a German truck.

A truck! Paco!

- A German truck! - Get back to your position!

I've got the ointment!

- Groubac, the light! - It's on the left.

There's a patrol.

A patrol.

- Worse... There are 13 freed prisoners. - What?!

Paco, go to the window.

- 13 men were freed. - Amazing!

And impossible to say who the 13th is.

It's an informer.

Then we're fucked.

He's seen everything. My house, the yard...

My children!

He'll give us away.

My uncle Emile. He works at the dam.

He has a transmitter. He sends messages to London.

- And you can just talk about it? — Everyone knows.

I nearly...

Ran into them.

Yes. They're everywhere. The town's surrounded.

Surrounded... already?!

Yesterday you spoke of 100 troops.

Multiply by five.

We should've known yesterday!

- Yes! - We'd have to have gone out...

- not hung around! - I won't have it!

Try an exit...

In two hours, there'll be 2000 of them, searching everywhere...

and they'll find you.

They have their methods. That's why they won the war.

- Not yet. - Still, they're everywhere.
