During a bombing raid, the prison walls are damaged, and Clement escapes by joining a column of civilian refugees fleeing south. He assumes the identity of a dead French Army Sergeant, Sergeant Maurice Lafarge, and joins other French soldiers retreating to unoccupied southern France. Clement decides to sail to French Equatorial Africa to join the Free French Forces, hoping to escape and start anew.
