After curfew, Isabelle sneaks through Carriveau to meet her contacts when a dogfight and bombing erupt overhead. An American plane is hit and crashes nearby; Isabelle finds the airman under a fallen parachute and drags him into the woods as voices and dogs close in. Henri, Didier, and Gaëtan arrive, and Isabelle decides to hide the wounded pilot at Le Jardin.

In the barn, they open the concealed cellar beneath the Renault and lower the unconscious airman inside, trapping Isabelle there until the men return. Isabelle panics at being locked in, then examines the pilot’s injury and realizes it is fatal. She stays with him as he dies, removes and hides his dog tags, and learns his name: Lieutenant Keith Johnson.

The next morning, Vianne encounters an agitated Captain Beck, who is being blamed for failing to find the missing pilot. Beck warns her to lock up, then leads soldiers and dogs searching the area; when Vianne notices the barn door ajar, she nearly draws attention to it but stops herself. Once the soldiers pass, Vianne investigates the barn, discovers Isabelle in the cellar with the pilot, and angrily orders Isabelle to leave and never return.

That night, Beck comes back desperate and drunk, then begins searching Vianne’s house and property. He follows tire tracks to the barn, moves the Renault, and finds the hatch. As Beck opens the cellar, Vianne strikes him in the head with a shovel to stop him; shots fire—one from Beck and one from below—and Beck is also hit in the chest. Vianne and Isabelle argue over who killed him as Beck dies, leaving a German captain’s body in Vianne’s barn.

Isabelle’s Resistance contacts arrive with a wagon carrying a coffin, ready for removals, but Isabelle suddenly collapses—shot near the collarbone, with an exit wound. Vianne stitches and bandages Isabelle’s wounds with the cellar medical kit, then refuses to let Gaëtan take Isabelle away alone. The group decides to hide both Beck’s and the airman’s bodies and smuggle wounded Isabelle toward the Free Zone in the coffin, while Vianne insists on accompanying them to the border.
