Tales of the Unexpected: Season 5 Episode 4

Run, Rabbit, Run

Just after the Second World War, Robert Simpson was a young U.S. Army interpreter stationed in liberated Paris and living in the house of Jacques Vareille, a hero of the French Resistance, and his downtrodden wife, Nathalie. Robert had no idea why the hectoring Jacques never set foot outside his house. Now, ten years after the war, Robert is back in Paris to write a book about the Resistance, and he pays a call at his former digs. Only Nathalie is still there – and she has a story to tell of a very different kind. It seems that she sought revenge on her bullying husband, with unforeseen consequences.
