Edith hides the young Frenchman Jean Rappard, but is suspected of this and her hospital is inspected by German troops at regular intervals.

Back in Brussels a firing squad executes a dozen escaped prisoners who were caught in the woods.

Edith and Albert go to try to find wounded on a battlefield near the woods and bring back four British men including Pte Bungey of the Buffs.

The Countess is suspicious due to his accent and locks him in the kitchen whilst informing the German authorities.

Nevertheless, the numbers increase ... but they include Wilhelm Schultz of the German military intelligence.

The very young Francois Rappard is brought into the court (in handcuffs) as the critical non-military witness.

The authorities are evasive when they are asked by the British consul to give the result of the trial.
