1:37:00
All right. Come on.
1:37:03
Come on. Sit down.
1:37:06
Sit down. It was a good try.
1:37:10
I hate these last-minute letdowns,
but I've only just been told.

1:37:14
- It's too risky for you.
- Don't you think that's Colin's decision?

1:37:17
- No, I don't.
- Come on, Roger.

1:37:20
We all know the score here.
Well, at least, most of us do.

1:37:25
Your idea of this escape
is to start another front,

1:37:28
to foul up the Germans behind the lines.
All right, that's fine.

1:37:32
But once we get past that wire and have
them looking all over Germany for us,

1:37:37
that mission is accomplished.
1:37:39
Afterwards, we have
some ideas of our own.

1:37:43
You mean getting home?
1:37:45
- Back to your family?
- That's right.

1:37:48
Do you really believe
I haven't thought about that too?

1:37:51
I'm sure you have.
1:37:54
I know Colin has.
1:37:57
And, Roger, I have too.
1:37:59
We think we can make it all the way.
1:38:01
Not Colin. He'd be an appalling hazard
to the escape. That must be my decision.

1:38:06
Let's talk about hazard.
Let's talk about you.

1:38:10
You're the biggest hazard we have.
The Gestapo has you marked.

1:38:15
No one has said you can't go.
1:38:19
That's true.
1:38:21
I have thought about the Gestapo.
1:38:26
But if you're asking me how far
a commanding officer is allowed to go,

1:38:30
or dare go,
1:38:33
or should be permitted to play God,
1:38:36
I can't answer you.
1:38:39
But I can tell you
1:38:41
a blind man is an unnecessary hazard
to himself and the whole plan,

1:38:45
and must therefore be
eliminated from the operation.

1:38:59
Colin's not a blind man as long
as he's with me, and he's going with me.
