Naissance d'un chef
or Birth of a Leader
25 Sep 1943
Marie Germain and the men who accompany her don't stick around the camp very long. She pulls Antoine aside, after he steps forward as the leader of the group, and advises him to move the camp because otherwise they will be found by the police or the Germans.
Marchetti is warned by Delage, one of his men, that Loriot, another of his men, might put the pieces together and figure out that he killed the German border guard, see 4.12 (The Border).
Ezéchiel Cohn shows up at Daniel's doorstep with a gun shot wound. Daniel takes him in and patches him up. Cohn admits to being the one who tried to kill Chassagne. Daniel wants to show him the door (after fixing him up) but Sarah feels otherwise.
Heinrich and Hortense are invited to dinner with Jeanine and Chassagne. Chassagne angers Heinrich who pushes his face into a bowl full of mashed potatoes. Chassagne decides he's had enough and starts talks to Servier about trying to get rid of Müller.
Antoine goes back to the saw mill at night to steal some tools to build a shelter for himself and the guys who have stuck with him. Raymond catches him and takes him to see Josephine. Raymond winds up helping Antoine and the others to build a shelter. He thinks that they are just trying to avoid being sent to Germany until Marie shows up. Raymond decides he's has enough of helping them and leaves.
Thoughts
Sarah and Gustave are in this episode. Marcel, Suzanne, and the communists are not in this episode nor is Lucienne. Jules is in it but only in one scene.
This episode was okay. I can see it moving the story forward but it didn't have any moments that really excited me. I feel as though Antoine's journey is supposed to be the highlight of the season but so far I'm not terribly impressed by him. It does feel like things are starting to change even though D-Day is still about 9 down the road.
