As the truck is stopped for an inspection, a soldier orders Meg’s crate to be opened. When she emerges from her hiding place, a Nazi officer is pointing his weapon at her. Terrified, Meg pleads for her life and offers her valuable necklace in exchange for her life. The soldier lets her walk away, and the truck leaves without her while she continues on foot.
Meg walks on for a few kilometers until a man in a wagon rides up to her and offers her a ride. He introduces himself as Pierre, a friend of Pierre’s, who told him she might need help, so Meg gratefully accepts. Soon, as a car approaches in the distance, he urges Meg to jump off his wagon and hide. When the car stops, Lieutenant Becker exits and asks the man about a fugitive girl. The man pretends not to know her, but Becker knows that he has been helping people cross the border and arrests him. Meg watches the scene from her hiding place, terrified and heartbroken at the man’s sacrifice, and only keeps moving when the car has left.
