WARSAW, 1978
You got lucky, Janek.
You're going to the country
full of mysteries. Good afternoon.
Hi.
l'm jealous of you.
l've been dreaming of becoming
a traveler since l was a kid,
to explore the jungles of the River
Amazon, but life had it its own way.
Once, on a day like this
l left home,
and got back only 6 years later.
Are you talking about the war?
Right. l got back here,
to the totally destroyed Warsaw.
Here's a taxi.
Central Market, please.
ln Paris you'll be met by Monsieur
Challot.
How will l recognize him?
Don't worry, you will recognize him.
According to your dad's description,
he looks very much like
the famous Tartarin.
l gave him your train and car
numbers. So relax.
- And what does he do?
- He's a businessman.
Publishes dictionaries. Does business
with various firms in Latin America.
Your dad met Challot when
they were working together in Rio.
By the way, you're doing French,
right?
So your interacting with Challot is
a perfect chance for you to practice it.
The boy goes to Paris alone.
Could you look after him, please?
And in Paris he'll be met.
Don't worry, l'll take care of him.
Bon voyage!
- Goodbye, Teacher.
- Okay, get on the train.
- Janek Borowski?
- Right, it's me.
- Hi.
- Hi.
l recognized you. Your dad is one
of the nicest people l've ever met,
and you're his copy.
- Jan Challot.
- Janek.
We got the same names. l'm really
happy about this. Can l help you?
- No, thanks.
- You don't trust me with your bag?
You're tired after this trip. A bathtub
and a delicious lunch await you.
Janek, get out of the car.
You go to the hotel, and we'll take
a little walk.
Every time l come to Paris,
l walk these streets
and think back to my youth.
ln this bistro l learned that the
Germans had crossed the Magineaux Line.
And in this house, up there,
there was a secret rendezvous flat
of our underground resistance group.
- You were in the resistance?
- That's right. What? l don't look it?
l wasn't always as fat as l am now.
Was even decorated with a cross. You
will see it. lt's in my house in Rouen.
Come here.
l was standing right here,
and he came out of the movie theatre.
Who?
Evan Hastke, SS Sturmbanfuhrer,
a most disgusting man.
l fired at him.
Killed him?
No, my Walter misfired.
And later this cost many good people
their lives.
Go to the hotel.
And when in '44 Paris
welcomed General LeClerc's tanks...
l could not eyewitness that.
Why not?
Was in the
