In a cafe, he recognises the waitress as Lesley, an ATS officer he had briefly met in training camp. She is in fact an undercover agent working with the local resistance group, but Pitkin inadvertently blows her cover and shes arrested, along with the cafe owner.Pitkin and Henri, another resistance worker, break into the chateau, using a tunnel that Pitkin digs, but they too are captured. Pitkin comes facetoface with Schreiber and finally realises his chance. To keep up the deception, he has a tryst with Gretchen, the generals mistress a singer of Wagnerian proportions and comically attempts to sing Schubert lieder with her. ........
