When Saunder's squad arrives at a small French town, Pvt. Paul Viller asks to seek out his estranged father that lives in the town. Paul is authorized to look for him with Sgt. Saunders and soon he meets his father, Dr. Emile Viller, and his aunt Claire Brouchard. Sgt. Saunders leave the family together and Paul sees members of the French underground accusing his father of collaboration with the Germans. Saunders returns to take Paul back to the front but he is wounded by the Germans and Paul brings him to the house of his father. When they overhear a conversation of his father with the German Col. Hoffman, he suspects that Dr. Viller is indeed a collaborator. Would he be?
"Reunion" is a touching and heartbreaking episode of "Combat!" with the story of a soldier that had lived with his American mother since he was four that returns to France in the war and meets his French father. The chemistry between father and son is immediate but the deception is huge. The sad conclusion is never corny but a great redemption. My vote is eight.
Title (Brazil): "Reunião" ("Reunion")
