               INT. CASTLE - 3RD FLOOR HALLWAY - DAY

               Patrick leads the second group, followed by Turner and
               Anderson.

               The group approaches a large doorway at the end of a
               hallway.

               Two soldiers stand guard.

               Patrick signals Turner to use a silent pistol, ordering him
               to kill the soldier on the left.

               Patrick takes out his gun and aims at the second soldier.

               Patrick starts a countdown with his fingers. 5,4,3,2,

               The two men fire at almost the same time. Both soldiers
               fall to the ground dead.

               Patrick slowly approaches the room.

               A figure is lying on the bed. It is ADOLF HITLER.

               Patrick smiles and raised he gun as the room fills with
               soldiers and the alarm goes off.

                                   PATRICK
                         What the fuc..

               The figure in the bed stands up and speaks.

                                   HITLER
                             (In German)
                         Drop you weapons.

               The team is reluctant but do so. Except for Patrick, who
               keeps his arms raised.

                                   HITLER
                             (In German)
                         Drop your weapons.

               With that Patrick shoots, hitting Hitler point blank in the
               head. He collapses dead.

               A soldier aims his rifle to shoot Patrick.

                                   OFFICER
                         Stop!!

               A German officer enters the room.

                                   OFFICER
                             (In German)
                         They are of more use alive than
                         dead.

                                   SOLDIER # 1
                             (In German)
                         But Sir, they have just killed
                         the Führer.

               The officer smiles.

                                   SOLDIER # 1
                             (In German)
                         No. They have just murdered a
                         hard to find body double. Our
                         Führer is very paranoid about
                         being assassinated. So he has a
                         number of look a likes

               The officer walks up to face Patrick and removes the pistol
               from the stunned soldier.

                                   OFFICER
                         Must be an awful feeling.
                         Thinking you've made History just
                         to find out that you've been
                         tricked. What about the rest of
                         these scum.

                                   SOLDIER # 2
                             (In German)
                         We're closing in on them on the
                         second floor.



               INT. CASTLE - HALLWAY - DAY

               Perez, Waters and Michaels are running towards a small
               staircase. 

               Perez opens fire killing two soldiers blocking their
               escape.

               Waters is firing backwards.

               Suddenly Waters is struck from behind and collapses
               unconscious.

               Perez is just at the door when a gunshot goes off. He looks
               down at his stomach at the fresh wound before looking up.

               Michaels is facing Perez, with a smoking machine gun in his
               hand.

                                   PEREZ
                         You fucking traitor..

               Michaels open fire again and Perez is thrown back against a
               wall, dead.

               The hallway fills with Germans.

                                   SOLDIER # 1
                             (In German)
                         Idiot. You were told we wanted
                         these alive. 

                                   MICHAELS
                             (In German)
                         He was trying to escape. Besides,
                         he was worthless. The Englishman
                         on the floor is trained by the
                         S.A.S. He is of more value.

               Soldiers pick up Waters and make their way down the
               hallway. Michaels follows, balancing his gun on his
               shoulder.



               INT. CASTLE - 3RD FLOOR HALLWAY - DAY

               Patrick, Turner and Anderson are kneeling with their hands
               on the back of their necks as Waters is dragged in.

               Patrick notices Michaels is armed.

                                   PATRICK
                         What th.. I knew that something
                         smelled about you. 

                                   MICHAELS
                             (in German)
                         You knew nothing.

                                   PATRICK
                         There was something you said to
                         their fighter pilot. I couldn't
                         tell what you were saying but the
                         whole conversation was off.

                                   MICHAELS
                         My mission was to discover what
                         you were planning this month. But
                         preventing the assignation of the
                         Führer was a bonus.

               Michaels waves to two soldiers, to pick up Waters.

                                   MICHAELS
                         Now, we have some people who want
                         to have a little talk with you.
                         Don't worry if you don't know the
                         answers to everything, they can
                         be very creative.
                             (waves at soldiers)
                         Take them away.

               Waters opens his eyes and grabs something from his belt. 

               The soldiers fail to react in time as Waters rolls a hand
               grenade across the floor.

                                   MICHAELS
                             (in German)
                         Shit.

               Michaels runs from the hall. German soldiers run and dive
               in various directions.

               Patrick jumps a soldier and retrieves his machine gun. He
               opens fire killing another.

               Turner scrambles for a weapon and runs after Michaels but
               is shot by the German Officer. He is dead before he hits
               the floor.

                                   ANDERSON
                         Bastard.

               Anderson jumps the officer and starts to pound his head off
               the floor.

               Waters and Patrick grab as much as they can carry before
               handing Anderson a weapon.

               Anderson is frantically trying to revive Turner.

                                   PATRICK
                         Forget him, he's gone. On your
                         feet, now move.

               Anderson climbs to his feet as Waters picks up the grenade,
               placing the pin back in.

               The three leave the hallway at speed.

                                   WATERS
                         Old trick. Dummy grenade, never
                         fails to get attention.

               The three are met by a large group of German soldiers as
               they approach a stairway.

               Patrick dives onto the floor, firing at the same time.

               Waters throws a grenade, that explodes seconds later.
               Bodies are thrown in every direction.

                                   PATRICK
                         Move, move, move.

               All three push forwards. The German soldiers retreat under
               the ferocity of the attack.

                                   PATRICK
                         No let up. The element of
                         surprise won't last for long. We
                         can't afford to be captured. This
                         trap was a fact finding mission,
                         so use your capsules if you're
                         taken.

               Anderson is hit in the shoulder and is driven back against
               a wall. 

               Waters attempts to get him up. 

                                   ANDERSON
                         Leave me. I'll just slow you
                         down. You have some hope without
                         me.

               More German soldiers gather at the base of the stairs.

                                   PATRICK
                         Christ, where are all these
                         coming from? We have to move now.

               Waters examines Anderson wound.

                                   WATERS
                         Not that bad, get up.

               Waters helps Anderson to his feet.

                                   ANDERSON
                         OK, I can make it.

               They follow Patrick as he approaches the top of the stairs.

               Patrick tosses a grenade down to the bottom of the stairs
               as the German's below disperse. 

               The grenade explodes as the three men run down the stairs
               at full speed.
