This programme contains some scenes

which some viewers may find upsetting.

0:00:030:00:05

He may be Resistance, so draw a pistol,

0:00:050:00:07

and keep your wits about you.

0:00:070:00:08

He doesn't have the experience to handle a case like this.

0:00:080:00:11

It is too dangerous for him.

0:00:110:00:13

Why was I invited here this evening?

0:00:160:00:18

We need nothing of you, except loyalty to your country.

0:00:180:00:21

Have you heard the rumours that the King is unwell?

0:00:210:00:23

You can't be thinking of trying to free him?

0:00:230:00:26

I'm telling you, don't go back there and say, "No deal."

0:00:260:00:29

What if I did?

0:00:290:00:30

Then they'd kill you.

0:00:300:00:31

Gallant British patriots.

0:00:310:00:33

-Are you proud of them?

-Jimmy!

0:00:330:00:35

This is your doing.

-Archer!

-General Kellermann.

0:01:000:01:02

Ah - Molotov, Von Ribbentrop and Goebbels. What a trio.

0:01:060:01:11

Putting all your eggs in the basket, yes?

0:01:110:01:13

But after the Mall incident,

0:01:150:01:17

I am sure the Army will be keeping a tighter watch.

0:01:170:01:21

MEN CHANT: "SIEG HEIL!"

0:01:210:01:23

Hauptsturmfuehrer Schroder.

0:01:250:01:26

Ich finde es ganz wunderbar,

0:01:290:01:30

dass Sie jetzt die Reichsleitung der NSDAP hier vertreten.

0:01:300:01:33

Ich habe Ihre Rede gehoert, anfang des Monats.

0:01:330:01:36

Ausgezeichnet. Klar und...

0:01:380:01:39

..visionaer.

0:01:400:01:42

Weiter so.

0:01:420:01:43

Do you think Marx's corpse will prefer the mausoleum in Moscow?

0:03:560:04:00

The Russians think so.

0:04:000:04:01

Isn't that what's important?

0:04:010:04:03

Take a seat.

0:04:050:04:06

Thank you, sir.

0:04:060:04:07

Are you an angler, Superintendent?

0:04:090:04:12

No, sir.

0:04:130:04:15

Pity.

0:04:150:04:16

I caught that fellow, Superintendent.

0:04:180:04:21

Really, sir?

0:04:210:04:22

Standartenfuehrer Huth, on the other hand, is a ski champion.

0:04:270:04:31

He went to Garmisch for the 1936 Olympics.

0:04:310:04:34

For the combined downhill and slalom event.

0:04:360:04:38

He won no medals.

0:04:410:04:42

But it is a distinction to compete, hmm?

0:04:430:04:46

Of course, sir.

0:04:460:04:47

The sport a man chooses tells you a lot about his personality.

0:04:470:04:51

Standartenfuehrer Huth is always in a hurry.

0:04:510:04:54

HE TUTS

0:04:540:04:56

I am never in a hurry.

0:04:560:04:57

Do you understand, Superintendent?

0:04:580:05:01

It takes patience...

0:05:070:05:09

..to make a lure that works...

0:05:100:05:12

..that the fish will swallow without even knowing it.

0:05:130:05:17

Are you sure you won't have cream?

0:05:190:05:21

The Reichsfuehrer-SS, Heinrich Himmler,

0:05:280:05:30

was asking me about developments on this murder you're working on,

0:05:300:05:33

the one in Shepherd Market.

0:05:330:05:35

Developments?

0:05:360:05:38

Yes, sir.

0:05:380:05:39

The death of a good policeman.

0:05:400:05:42

Investigating what?

0:05:420:05:44

A photograph of a Professor Frick and his colleagues

0:05:440:05:47

was found in the suspect's house.

0:05:470:05:49

Well...

0:05:510:05:53

what do you think this all means? Who is this Professor Frick?

0:05:530:05:57

An atomic expert.

0:05:570:05:59

Like Dr Spode was.

0:05:590:06:00

So this explains Standartenfuehrer Huth's arrival, do you think -

0:06:030:06:05

the atomic business?

0:06:050:06:07

I suspect so, yes.

0:06:080:06:09

I'd like to be kept up-to-date on all this, Superintendent.

0:06:120:06:16

You are doing a fine job assisting Herr Dr Huth,

0:06:160:06:19

but please don't exclude the leader of your police force, hmm?

0:06:190:06:24

Good fellow.

0:06:240:06:25

-Here he is.

-Yeah.

0:06:350:06:37

Go on, then - say it.

0:07:040:07:05

I went over.

0:07:060:07:08

Told his mother.

0:07:080:07:09

Jimmy was her last boy left.

0:07:120:07:13

-Whoever did this...

-No, it's you, Doug.

0:07:170:07:20

You did this.

0:07:200:07:22

Right.

0:07:220:07:23

Cos I should have stuck with you.

0:07:260:07:28

They'd have left you alone.

0:07:280:07:30

Cos you're one of them.

0:07:320:07:33

Get me the fingerprinting kit.

0:07:370:07:39

Even I know it takes all sorts to make up the Resistance, Harry.

0:07:430:07:46

There are those that put sugar in German petrol tanks,

0:07:460:07:49

and those that scrawl anti-Nazi slogans on walls. Fine.

0:07:490:07:53

But then there are those that are willing to kill boys like Jimmy,

0:07:530:07:56

just to get a point across to their own bloody people.

0:07:560:08:00

Can you not understand people's anger? Hmm? They feel helpless.

0:08:000:08:04

They see us working with the Germans and they lash out,

0:08:040:08:07

and can you really blame them?

0:08:070:08:08

Yes, I bloody can!

0:08:080:08:09

Then you're a fool.

0:08:110:08:13

And you're out of touch, and that will ruin you as a copper.

0:08:130:08:16

For Christ's sakes, Harry.

0:08:190:08:20

What they did is no better than the bloody Nazis.

0:08:210:08:24

So what do you believe in, Dougie? Huh?

0:08:310:08:33

Justice.

0:08:330:08:34

Was this justice for Jimmy?

0:08:360:08:38

I don't know these people.

0:08:380:08:40

Well, they're bloody animals.

0:08:420:08:44

Who DO you know?

0:08:490:08:50

It's too dangerous for you, too, isn't it?

0:08:570:08:59

Maybe it's time to quit.

0:09:000:09:02

I'd understand.

0:09:030:09:04

Not on your life.

0:09:040:09:05

There are no prints on this.

0:09:080:09:09

They've wiped it clean.

0:09:110:09:12

So much for the heat of anger.

0:09:130:09:15

Like I said...

0:09:150:09:16

..I do not know these people.

0:09:170:09:19

Well, that's a shame.

0:09:210:09:22

Cos I'd like to think...

0:09:250:09:26

..you'd have helped me try and get them.

0:09:280:09:30

There's nothing I can do.

0:09:350:09:36

These people will turn on anyone they start to doubt.

0:09:400:09:43

Yeah, well, don't you worry about me.

0:09:430:09:45

-Like I said...

-I'm not worried about you.

0:09:450:09:47

You know where she is.

0:09:510:09:53

Tell Sylvia she should get out.

0:09:590:10:01

Join that cousin of yours in the unoccupied zone.

0:10:020:10:06

She won't listen to me.

0:10:060:10:07

Let me try and persuade her.

0:10:140:10:15

Where is she?

0:10:180:10:19

You won't like it.

0:10:210:10:22

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:10:340:10:35

Hello?

0:10:490:10:51

It's all right.

0:10:590:11:00

I'm alone.

0:11:000:11:01

What do you want?

0:11:030:11:04

Help.

0:11:060:11:07

Not going to kick me out, then?

0:11:100:11:11

I don't see any harm in you being here.

0:11:110:11:14

It's not a crime scene any more.

0:11:140:11:16

I was the one who helped you get away, remember?

0:11:170:11:20

Who killed Jimmy Dunn?

0:11:230:11:25

-I don't know anything.

-You know too much.

0:11:250:11:27

And if the Germans catch you, they'll make sure they know it, too.

0:11:270:11:30

Hmm.

0:11:310:11:32

And take great pleasure in it, I'm sure.

0:11:320:11:35

Don't stay here, Sylvia.

0:11:460:11:47

Leave the controlled zone - go to the Lakes.

0:11:470:11:50

You sound like Harry.

0:11:500:11:52

He's worried about you.

0:11:520:11:54

And these people you think are your friends...

0:11:560:11:58

Shut up about it, OK?

0:11:580:11:59

If you were going to visit...

0:12:030:12:05

..you could have brought some food.

0:12:060:12:07

Goodbye, Sylvia.

0:12:130:12:14

No! No!

0:12:570:12:59

Let him go!

0:12:590:13:00

Let him go!

0:13:000:13:02

SHE GASPS FOR BREATH

0:13:150:13:17

SHE COUGHS

0:13:190:13:20

Scotland Yard duty officer, please.

0:13:340:13:36

Is that the duty officer?

0:13:370:13:39

This is Detective Superintendent Douglas Archer.

0:13:400:13:43

Something might be coming for me in the second post.

0:13:440:13:46

It's very important - can you look out for it for me?

0:13:460:13:48

Mm-hmm.

0:13:520:13:53

Yes.

0:13:540:13:55

Thank you.

MUSIC: Key To The Highway by Big Bill Broonzy

0:16:430:16:46

Some of the teachers haven't come back to the school yet.

0:17:010:17:05

Any idea where they are?

0:17:050:17:07

No.

0:17:070:17:09

Ow!

0:17:090:17:11

That smart, does it?

0:17:110:17:12

I'll live.

0:17:130:17:15

It's a nasty one, all right.

0:17:160:17:18

Why did he attack you?

0:17:230:17:24

You know why.

0:17:250:17:27

Some people think police are helping the Germans.

0:17:290:17:32

If your Tom hadn't signed up with the army reservists,

0:17:350:17:39

he'd be in the same position.

0:17:390:17:41

Why didn't you sign up, Mr Archer?

0:17:450:17:47

I wasn't allowed -

0:17:510:17:55

reserved occupation.

0:17:550:17:57

Well, I'd rather have Tom here than him being a hero.

0:18:050:18:11

Not that, I mean...

0:18:110:18:12

I know what you mean.

0:18:150:18:16

Thank you, Mrs Sheenan.

0:18:190:18:20

No, well...

HARMONICA SOLO PLAYS

0:18:230:18:25

I like this record.

0:18:280:18:30

I first heard it with my wife.

0:18:320:18:35

We were at the Old Florida Club, in Bruton Mews.

0:18:380:18:42

Snakehips Johnson played that night.

0:18:450:18:47

It went on till five in the morning.

0:18:510:18:53

I thought the Germans had banned this music.

0:18:570:19:00

They have.

0:19:000:19:02

They label it degenerate,

0:19:020:19:06

but secretly they love it.

0:19:060:19:08

I got this from a Feldwebel.

0:19:100:19:12

I swapped it, like a kid in school.

0:19:130:19:16

You're lucky you still have something to hear it with.

0:19:200:19:23

-Got any more for upstairs?

-Thank you.

0:19:290:19:31

Any post for me?

0:19:330:19:34

Yes, sir.

0:19:340:19:36

-All right?

-Right you are.

0:19:400:19:42

DOOR BANGS

0:20:120:20:14

Anything interesting in the second post?

0:20:140:20:16

Dunn was looking for leads on Frick.

0:20:200:20:22

It seems the Professor's been written out of history.

0:20:220:20:25

But why use the mail?

0:20:250:20:27

Jimmy must have seen that he was being followed -

0:20:290:20:32

wanted to make sure this didn't fall into the wrong hands.

0:20:320:20:35

A caution, no doubt, instilled by you.

0:20:350:20:38

It might be a bitter pill to swallow,

0:20:380:20:40

but you're very much like us, Superintendent.

0:20:400:20:42

Excellent. Have some "wanted" posters made from that.

0:20:440:20:47

We'll put every name on that photograph

0:20:470:20:49

on a primary arrest sheet.

0:20:490:20:51

For the murder of Dr Spode?

0:20:510:20:53

For questioning in connection with the murder.

0:20:530:20:54

But aren't we assuming they're under the protection of the German Army?

0:20:540:20:57

That will force the Army to actually admit it.

0:20:570:21:00

What's that?

0:21:020:21:04

Oh, that's just an index from the photo library.

0:21:040:21:07

Do you have anything else?

0:21:090:21:11

Nothing.

0:21:110:21:12

Time is a sickle, Archer.

0:21:160:21:18

This fellow must be caught.

0:21:180:21:19

Of course.

0:22:050:22:06

Hello.

0:22:060:22:07

Superintendent Douglas Archer.

0:22:070:22:09

Captain Hesse.

0:22:090:22:10

You wish to visit the issuing department, that's correct?

0:22:100:22:14

DOG BARKING If I could.

0:22:140:22:17

Do you have a willing workforce here, Captain?

0:22:180:22:21

We have British and Allied officers

0:22:210:22:24

of the rank of brigadier and upwards -

0:22:240:22:26

making artificial limbs provides work for them.

0:22:260:22:29

Ah, and I wish to meet one of their customers.

0:22:290:22:33

HEAVY DOOR SLAMS

0:22:330:22:35

Who gets limbs here?

0:22:370:22:38

British ex-servicemen who live in the southeastern control zone.

0:22:380:22:42

And what documentation do they need to get through that door?

0:22:420:22:45

No-one gets past even the outer gate without a pay-book,

0:22:450:22:47

proving discharge from the British Army.

0:22:470:22:50

When was the last time you sent someone to try and gain access

0:22:500:22:53

without those papers?

0:22:530:22:54

Do you want me to alert the sentries?

0:22:550:22:57

No, that's the last thing I want.

0:22:570:22:58

I want my man to get through.

0:22:580:23:00

Where do you keep your elbow-joints and pivots?

0:23:000:23:03

Is that a joke?

0:23:030:23:04

No. When I make jokes, I waggle my ears.

0:23:040:23:06

There should be an elbow-pivot here for John Spode.

0:23:060:23:09

I'm hoping to make an arrest, Captain.

0:23:180:23:20

I hope not here.

0:23:210:23:23

This is an army establishment -

0:23:230:23:25

it's nothing to do with the Civil Police or the SS.

0:23:250:23:28

But I'm investigating a murder.

0:23:280:23:30

The British Army always allowed the Civil Police...

0:23:300:23:32

I'm not interested in ancient history.

0:23:320:23:35

This camp, it's under German Army jurisdiction,

0:23:350:23:38

and you have no powers here.

0:23:380:23:41

Fine.

0:23:410:23:42

Then I'll wait outside the gate and arrest him off army property.

0:23:430:23:47

You would be in grave danger of being shot down by my sentries.

0:23:480:23:52

Why?

0:23:580:23:59

I won't be using a gun.

0:23:590:24:01

Herr Archer...

0:24:100:24:13

there's no need for this.

0:24:130:24:15

These walls are secure.

0:24:150:24:17

Much safer to arrest your man here.

0:24:180:24:21

I will make an exception.

You go back and, if he comes, we will apprehend him.

-Listen to me. Listen to me!

0:26:380:26:40

We don't have much time. I can help you, Spode.

0:26:400:26:42

I know you burned the plans. Did you make copies? Photographs?

0:26:420:26:44

You know who I am. I can help you.

0:26:440:26:47

You?

0:26:470:26:48

Ah, you fool.

John Spode, you're under arrest.

0:26:580:26:59

For what?

0:26:590:27:00

Murder.

0:27:000:27:01

I warn you, anything you say may be taken down and used

0:27:030:27:05

in evidence against you.

0:27:050:27:07

Come on.

0:27:070:27:09

Are you John Spode, and is your brother William?

0:27:150:27:19

Yes, yes...

0:27:210:27:23

How did you get on to me?

0:27:260:27:28

The pivot for your false arm.

0:27:300:27:32

I found it at the flat at Shepherd's Market.

0:27:340:27:38

You must have been in quite a hurry, to leave that behind.

0:27:380:27:41

You're the great detective.

0:27:430:27:45

Do you deny killing your brother?

0:27:470:27:50

How could I?

0:27:500:27:51

I wouldn't have hurt your son.

0:27:550:27:57

I just needed a way to get you to listen,

0:27:590:28:01

so you'd help us.

0:28:010:28:03

And all everyone told me was that you were incorruptible.

0:28:050:28:08

For the purposes of this interview,

0:28:080:28:10

we're only concerned with the killing of your brother.

0:28:100:28:13

Has anyone got a cigarette?

0:28:150:28:17

I have some.

0:28:210:28:22

What do you prefer, Superintendent?

0:28:240:28:27

I have French, Turkish, American...

0:28:270:28:30

It's been a long time since I tasted a French cigarette.

0:28:320:28:35

I'll need you to make your confession in writing.

0:28:410:28:44

Do you permit the prisoner to smoke?

Why did you do it?

You have your confession - isn't that enough?

0:29:170:29:20

This is the best cigarette I've tasted in an age.

0:29:270:29:29

Won't find anything like this in prison, I expect.

0:29:320:29:34

It's not my job to chase Resistance fighters.

0:29:410:29:46

You lost your arm taking on a Panzer -

0:29:490:29:53

a friend of mine told me.

0:29:530:29:55

Were you in the fighting too?

0:29:550:29:57

No.

0:29:590:30:00

You didn't miss anything.

0:30:000:30:03

It was all over before it began.

0:30:030:30:06

Only a bloody fool tries to jam the sprocket wheel of a Mark IV

0:30:060:30:09

with a tyre lever.

0:30:090:30:10

He went past me without even noticing...

0:30:100:30:13

and took my arm with him.

0:30:130:30:15

You being there wouldn't have made much difference, Superintendent,

0:30:200:30:23

believe me.

0:30:230:30:25

Is it a confession you wanted, or absolution?

0:30:280:30:32

Understanding.

0:30:350:30:36

Your brother had his corneas burned by radiation.

0:30:390:30:43

Was he dying?

0:30:480:30:51

So, you put him out of his misery.

0:30:510:30:54

But why did you leave the pivot from your elbow behind?

0:30:540:30:57

Erm, d-do you have it with you?

He needs cardiac stimulants.

Cyanide capsules.

0:31:500:31:52

I have seen it on a man straight after Armistice.

0:31:520:31:56

I should have searched him.

0:31:560:31:58

What do you care?

0:32:030:32:04

HESSE SIGHS

0:32:040:32:06

Like he said, you have got your confession.

0:32:060:32:10

You can close the file now, can't you?

0:32:100:32:13

You just stood there and watched him, you stupid pig.

0:32:170:32:21

And this half-witted army officer, Hesse, watched too?

0:32:210:32:25

Yes.

0:32:250:32:26

Any chance that he passed him the capsule?

0:32:280:32:30

No, sir.

0:32:300:32:31

So from the moment you arrested Spode,

0:32:330:32:35

was there even the briefest opportunity for this damned

0:32:350:32:37

army officer, Hesse, to pass him anything at all?

0:32:370:32:40

No chance at all, sir.

0:32:420:32:43

If we get this one wrong, Superintendent Archer,

0:32:430:32:46

you'll find yourself in Dachau.

0:32:460:32:49

Do you know what Dachau is?

0:32:490:32:50

I've heard the rumours, sir.

But why would they want to keep a man down there?

Superintendent Archer, you'd better come in.

0:36:280:36:31

It's all right, he's one of mine.

0:36:360:36:38

Colonel Mayhew, what a surprise!

0:36:400:36:43

How the devil did you find this place?

0:36:430:36:45

Captain Hesse here doesn't check his rear-view mirror quite as often

0:36:490:36:52

as one would imagine a man who just committed murder might.

0:36:520:36:56

He gave Spode a cyanide cigarette.

0:36:560:36:58

What's this?

0:36:580:37:00

You're imagining things.

0:37:000:37:01

I have the cigarette.

0:37:010:37:03

It seems it was more important to the Army that Spode be silenced

0:37:040:37:07

than let him to fall into the hands of the SS.

0:37:070:37:11

What were you afraid he'd tell them?

0:37:110:37:13

Archer. Archer!

0:37:130:37:16

We have more important matters at hand here.

0:37:160:37:18

What the hell are you doing here with German Army Intelligence?

0:38:040:38:09

We're in talks.

0:38:090:38:11

Talks?

0:38:110:38:12

About His Majesty.

0:38:120:38:14

The fact is that some of them feel it's incompatible with

0:38:140:38:16

the honour of the German Army that the King of England should be

0:38:160:38:19

in custody, guarded by SS units.

0:38:190:38:22

I know, old-fashioned buggers, aren't they?

0:38:220:38:25

More's our luck.

0:38:250:38:26

Remember our conversation about Rear Admiral Connolly,

0:38:280:38:31

over there in Washington?

0:38:310:38:33

If the King were free, and able to confirm publicly Connolly's rank

0:38:330:38:37

and position, it would transform Britain's position in the world.

0:38:370:38:41

You're not seriously suggesting that the German Army are

0:38:410:38:44

going to try and help free the King?

0:38:440:38:46

A certain few will do everything they can to help,

0:38:460:38:48

save getting into a fight.

0:38:480:38:50

What do they get out of it?

0:38:500:38:52

The escape of the King from SS custody would disgrace the SS

0:38:520:38:55

and consolidate the Army's Commander-in-Chief

0:38:550:38:57

in his position of power here,

0:38:570:39:00

and not just here -

0:39:000:39:02

the repercussions would be felt all the way to Berlin.

0:39:020:39:04

We have the support of the general staff in this business.

0:39:040:39:08

What's the catch?

DOOR OPENS

0:39:110:39:13

The General will see you both now.

0:39:160:39:18

So, the younger Spode is dead too?

0:39:470:39:50

As I understand it, yes.

0:39:500:39:52

And your police officer followed Captain Hesse here?

0:39:520:39:54

That's right.

0:39:540:39:56

I will come to you later.

0:39:560:39:58

Now, you listen to me, Major.

0:39:580:40:00

If you want my co-operation,

0:40:030:40:06

you're going to have to woo me,

0:40:060:40:10

and I'm very difficult to please.

0:40:100:40:12

You have the impertinent manner of the revolutionary.

0:40:120:40:16

It will get you nowhere.

0:40:160:40:17

Let me remind you of your position...

0:40:170:40:19

No. Let me remind you of your position.

0:40:190:40:22

IN GERMAN:

0:40:240:40:26

If there's any explaining to be done,

0:40:460:40:49

then you'll do it.

0:40:490:40:51

You're playing a dangerous game, Superintendent.

0:40:550:40:57

Not nearly as dangerous as the one you're playing.

0:40:570:41:00

If I submit a full report about young Spode's murder this afternoon,

0:41:000:41:04

the German C-in-C of Great Britain will likely

0:41:040:41:07

find it very healthy to distance himself from you,

0:41:070:41:10

as will your colleagues in Berlin.

0:41:100:41:12

You're not out of here yet.

0:41:120:41:13

My car is equipped with a radio telegraph.

0:41:160:41:19

I wouldn't come into a notorious district like this,

late at night, without taking precautions.

0:41:320:41:33

Congratulations on apprehending Dr Spode's killer, Superintendent.

0:41:370:41:42

Well, he was denied a trial,

0:41:450:41:48

so we'll never really know, will we?

0:41:480:41:50

Did he make a copy of the calculations his brother

0:41:510:41:54

stole from Bringle Sands?

0:41:540:41:56

I asked him.

0:41:560:41:58

He denied it.

0:41:580:42:00

Did you believe him?

0:42:000:42:01

In that case, I will hold you personally responsible if

0:42:080:42:11

a copy falls into the wrong hands.

0:42:110:42:13

I had a feeling you'd say something like that.

0:42:160:42:19

Captain Hesse must not be included in any reports to your authorities,

0:42:190:42:24

or the King has no chance of freedom.

0:42:240:42:27

Well, Archer?

0:42:390:42:40

Very well.

0:42:450:42:46

Good.

0:42:460:42:48

I'll need to know how you would dispose of His Majesty.

0:42:480:42:51

Our honour requires that his safety be assured.

0:42:510:42:54

We'll fly him out of a disused airfield.

0:42:540:42:57

Your staff are advising us on which one to choose, sir.

0:42:570:42:59

Will you go too?

0:42:590:43:01

I've no orders as yet, sir.

0:43:010:43:02

If we do decide to proceed, be ready to move fast.

0:43:020:43:06

Gute nacht.

An aeroplane flying out of a disused airfield?

0:43:300:43:34

Now, was that just for the Huns, or is that really the best way

0:43:340:43:36

we've got of getting the King out of the country?

0:43:360:43:38

Have you got a better idea?

0:43:380:43:40

Ship him out as diplomatic mail.

0:43:420:43:44

HE CHUCKLES

0:43:440:43:46

You're a political innocent, Archer.

0:43:460:43:48

Forged documents, then -

0:43:500:43:53

ones that would make the Germans think he was

0:43:530:43:55

a diplomatic consignment.

0:43:550:43:56

Worse.

0:43:560:43:57

The escape of the King will be in every history book ever written.

0:43:570:44:00

Do you want it recorded that the only way we could get him out

0:44:000:44:02

of the country was by forging the signature of a foreigner?

0:44:020:44:06

The same reason we can't have him do anything ridiculous,

0:44:060:44:08

like dress up as a chambermaid,

0:44:080:44:10

or pretend to be a German lavatory attendant.

LIGHTER CLICKS

0:46:370:46:39

You met them before the war,

0:46:470:46:49

when you were writing an article on Professor Frick and his work,

0:46:490:46:55

and I assume one of them contacted you with the plan to get

0:46:550:46:58

the atomic calculations into American hands,

0:46:580:47:03

and that's what you were doing, coming to collect the film that day.

0:47:030:47:07

You're very clever,

0:47:080:47:10

though you seemed to have confused interrogation with seduction.

0:47:100:47:14

I hope you're not saying I had anything to do with the murder?

0:47:180:47:21

Oh, I'd still like to seduce you...

0:47:210:47:23

..but I want to know.

0:47:250:47:26

Yes. You're right.

0:47:330:47:34

I interviewed the older one for the piece on Frick.

0:47:340:47:37

He remembered me.

0:47:370:47:38

I'm not surprised.

0:47:380:47:39

Suddenly, I'm up to my neck in the Resistance.

0:47:450:47:48

Yeah, things have been going pretty fast for the two of us.

0:47:520:47:57

Made love to me for the first time.

0:47:590:48:01

How can I forget?

0:48:020:48:04

You seem different.

0:48:090:48:10

Maybe I am.

0:48:100:48:12

I like you more.

0:48:120:48:15

Is the interrogation over?

0:48:150:48:16

Just one last thing.

0:48:240:48:26

You know, someone on that inaugural flight from New York

0:48:300:48:33

did a bit of smuggling.

0:48:330:48:35

Oh, really?

0:48:350:48:36

Now, a hatbox like this would be perfect for hiding away a newsreel.

0:48:400:48:47

You seem to be more interested in false bottoms than real ones.

0:48:510:48:54

Well...

0:48:560:48:58

we can't have that, can we?

0:48:580:49:00

SHE GIGGLES

0:49:000:49:02

This ceremony tomorrow is going to be bloody tedious.

0:49:080:49:13

Apparently, the Russians are even more long-winded than the Jerries.

0:49:130:49:17

I assume you're a guest of honour, darling.

0:49:180:49:21

SHE LAUGHS

0:49:210:49:23

Disinterring Karl Marx and mailing him back to Moscow

0:49:230:49:26

is quite the story,

0:49:260:49:28

but I'm sick of peddling their propaganda.

0:49:280:49:31

Let's find excuses.

0:49:380:49:41

We could have a morning together.

0:49:410:49:43

I can't.

0:49:530:49:55

So you were all ready to pass on the atomic plans to somebody

0:50:140:50:17

at the American Embassy?

0:50:170:50:19

Does it matter?

0:50:220:50:23

Yes, it does.

0:50:250:50:27

The guy I knew and trusted at the embassy just moved back home,

0:50:290:50:33

so I was going to have to play it by ear.

0:50:330:50:36

Ha! You have an answer for everything, don't you?

0:50:360:50:39

It only seems that way because you never stop asking me questions.

0:50:410:50:45

I'm not a spy, Douglas.

0:50:520:50:54

I hear people lie to me all the time.

0:50:560:50:59

So you can tell when I'm telling the truth?

0:51:010:51:05

You are cleverer than most.

0:51:050:51:06

Mm-hmm.

0:51:060:51:07

And that's why you like me.

0:51:120:51:15

Well, that's one of the reasons.

0:51:150:51:16

Have you heard anything about a plot to free the King

0:51:230:51:28

and take him to America?

0:51:280:51:29

Maybe I have,

0:51:320:51:35

but I don't give it much credence.

0:51:350:51:38

Or, at least, the American part.

0:51:380:51:40

Why not?

0:51:420:51:43

Because your King would be a liability to America.

0:51:450:51:48

Do you think Roosevelt wants to go into the schoolbooks as the man

0:51:510:51:54

who invited the King of England back to the US of A?

0:51:540:51:58

Don't go thinking Roosevelt is some kind of fanatical Anglophile.

0:51:580:52:03

He's a politician, and back home, that means a wily bird.

0:52:030:52:07

Well, of course, it's politically sensitive.

0:52:100:52:12

Politically, it's suicide.

0:52:120:52:14

Every politician is promising he won't get American boys

0:52:140:52:17

into a foreign war.

0:52:170:52:19

Do you think anyone's going to invite your King there,

0:52:190:52:22

when he's the focal point of the whole European wrangle?

0:52:220:52:25

Wrangle?

0:52:270:52:28

Over here, we call it war.

0:52:310:52:32

You can call it anything you like,

0:52:320:52:34

but for most people back home, it's in the past tense.

0:52:340:52:37

And the Germans - they changed the tense.

0:52:370:52:40

Sorry, Doug.

0:52:570:52:59

I needed to know where you stood.

0:52:590:53:02

Did it work?

0:53:020:53:05

I wasn't just joking around.

0:53:220:53:24

It's not going to be easy to draw America into the war.

0:53:260:53:29

No.

0:53:320:53:33

But with those calculations...

0:53:350:53:37

..they might have woken them up.

0:53:400:53:42

I guess we'll never know.

0:53:530:53:55

Hello, Arthur.

0:53:570:53:59

Hello, Superintendent.

0:53:590:54:00

Any special instructions?

0:54:060:54:08

Over or under development?

0:54:080:54:11

The only special instruction is keep your mouth shut about it.

0:54:110:54:14

Righto.

0:54:160:54:17

Good man. Thanks.

-General Kellermann.

0:54:290:54:32

Ah, Molotov, Von Ribbentrop and Goebbels. What a trio!

0:54:340:54:40

Putting all your eggs in the basket, yes?

0:54:400:54:42

But after the Mall incident,

0:54:440:54:46

I am sure the army will be keeping a tighter watch.

0:54:460:54:50

MEN CHANT: "SIEG HEIL!"

You're going to go to the unoccupied zone.

You'll be safer there.

-What is?

0:56:510:56:53

GUNSHOTS

0:56:550:56:57

The crackdown.

0:56:570:56:58

Do you want to stay with me, Archer, on my personal staff?

0:56:580:57:02

You can come all the way to the top.

0:57:020:57:05

KNOCK AT DOOR

0:57:050:57:07

Harry Woods didn't turn up for a meeting with the Crime Super.

0:57:070:57:10

You don't think he could've been picked up?

0:57:100:57:12

They're arresting thousands

0:57:120:57:13

and drafting in interrogators from everywhere.

0:57:130:57:16

The Germans seem damn close to producing an atomic bomb.

0:57:160:57:18

We have no option but to go in and raid Bringle Sands.

0:57:180:57:21

Still, we can sabotage the rest.

0:57:210:57:23

You want me to get the King to Bringle Sands?
