"She spent the day with Franz Faber's wife." "They left the cafe, then they went for a walk." "Where I found out a Wehrmacht general is coming to Paris." " Did you get a name?" " No." "But I did learn that our friend Faber takes his work home and he has a safe in his study." "Wait, wait..." "He doesn't like Sabine in the study, so I'm guessing the safe" " contains sensitive material." " And you found that out over coffee?" "It was a productive afternoon."

"This is our chance to make an impact." "We don't know if Alfred's intel is still up to date." "Then I'll send it to the Camp," " let them run it up the chain."

"How many lives could we save by removing him before invasion?" "Killing a high-ranking general?" "You gotta admit that'd make a pretty persuasive recruitment ad for the Resistance." "Why don't we have a go at old Uncle Adolf while we're at it," " that'd be good for morale." " That's not what I meant." "Killing Brandt is a massive risk." "We need to be strategic." "Oh, so that's it?" "We're not going to do anything because" " you don't think it's worth it?" " Harry, you were in Villemarie." "That village was nearly wiped out for helping the Resistance." "You wanna gamble innocent lives because you're excited about" " taking a shot at a general?" " No!" "Is that not what we do?" "We do difficult things to turn this war around." "Did you forget that, playing dress-up with your new friend?" "Hey, Harry, take it easy..." "No, you know what?" "René, he may have been a traitor... at least he wasn't a coward."

"Guys, I updated Sinclair about General Brandt." " You did what?" " We got the green light." "Harry, you had no right to do that." "You radioed Sinclair?" "Yeah." "The decision's been made." "We're doing it." " They're getting us Brandt's location." " Do you want to lead this team, Harry?" "No, Aurora." "I want you to." "Then go." "Get back to work." " What do you want me to..."
