In this instalment Indiana Jones (Sean Patrick Flannery) is now a motorcycle courier for the Belgian Army and he experiences further trench horror at the Battle of Verdun, the most notorious conflict in World War One. Indy then manages to get him and his friend Remy (Ronny Coutteure) some much-needed leave in Paris, which brings him into contact with a lady known as Mata Hari (Domiziano Giordano)...
The first segment is rife with yet more drama for Indy, as he faces a difficult decision - the outcome of which could cost many men their lives. The sheer pointlessness and stupidity of the conflict is again well demonstrated in this episode, and the accompanying documentary on Verdun deepens the understanding of this insane 'war of attrition'.
The second segment set in Paris is equally brilliant. Unlike some of the forgettable romances Indy has had previously in the series, this is where it starts to get serious. The wily Mata Hari teaches the young soldier a lot about his selfishness and sheer naivete in matters of love, and Jones leaves her a much-changed man.
It is brilliantly played, and a great addition to the series.
