The trio meets a band of anti-fascist guerrillas but decline to join them, later they assist to the killing of an Italian soldier "guilty" of having let a girl go during a German-led roundup and finally manage to reach Fornaciari's rural home.
The trio meets a band of anti-fascist guerrillas but decline to join them (while an Italian army captain they met along the road does, turning into a partisan resistance fighter). Embarked on a greyhound they assist to the killing of a rookie, naive Italian soldier who tried to protect a jewish girl during a German roundup; finally they manage to reach Fornaciari's rural home.
