0:03:53 > 0:03:55Believe me, I'd love to stay.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Then let's not go in. There's that flu going around.
0:04:00 > 0:04:02- What, both of us?- A-huh.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05I hate that place now.
0:04:20 > 0:04:22It's very plush here.
0:04:22 > 0:04:24Who else uses these rooms?
0:04:24 > 0:04:27A Reichspropagandaleiter.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31- What if they come back? - We'll be shot.
0:04:31 > 0:04:32HE CHUCKLES
0:04:34 > 0:04:37He's visiting the South West controlled zone.
0:04:37 > 0:04:39Aren't you the clever one(!)
0:04:46 > 0:04:49If I quit, would you still see me?
0:04:49 > 0:04:50Of course.
0:04:52 > 0:04:55- But don't.- It's all right for you.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59- Archer of the Yard, all that power. - Huh!

0:06:21 > 0:06:23Yes, Harry?
0:06:23 > 0:06:27Do you get a thrill out of taking stupid risks, huh, Doug?
0:06:27 > 0:06:30Not very subtle, what you're doing with Sylvia.
0:06:30 > 0:06:32How do you know what we get up to?
0:06:32 > 0:06:35I don't know what's got into you.
0:06:35 > 0:06:36Then just drive, Harry.
0:06:36 > 0:06:39Look, all I'm saying is, not on your own doorstep,
0:06:39 > 0:06:41not with your own secretary, for Christ's sake!
0:06:41 > 0:06:43In the...Fritz Ritz!
0:06:50 > 0:06:53Those Herberts might act as if they like you just now,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55but they could turn on you any time.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Mind your own business, Sergeant.
0:06:58 > 0:06:59Listen, if you have to have it off,
0:06:59 > 0:07:02what about that, er...big-titted German bird
0:07:02 > 0:07:03in the Waffen-SS liaison, huh?
0:07:03 > 0:07:07THEY LAUGH No? I heard she puts it about a bit.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09I thought you disapproved of consorting with the Germans.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12What's the use?
0:07:12 > 0:07:15What do the Resistance hope to achieve with this?
0:07:15 > 0:07:18He gets strung up and his family sent to a labour camp.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Defiance.
0:07:21 > 0:07:24Nothing wrong with a bit of that.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27What if the Russki had been killed instead, huh?
0:07:27 > 0:07:30That would've put the dampers on their friendship ceremony, wouldn't it?
0:07:30 > 0:07:31Yeah.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55I remember I took you around here when it was my beat.
0:07:55 > 0:07:57Young and innocent, you were.
0:07:57 > 0:08:01Brand-new diploma, not a clue in the world.
0:08:01 > 0:08:04- You're choking me up, Harry(!) - HARRY CHUCKLES
0:08:05 > 0:08:10No, I'm just saying, when it was my beat, it was nice.
0:08:10 > 0:08:12No, it wasn't.
0:08:12 > 0:08:15Ah, maybe not. The girls were always friendly.
0:08:15 > 0:08:18Well, friendship's not always free around here, is it?
0:08:18 > 0:08:19- Hiya, love.- Hello, Sergeant.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22What's going on here?
0:08:22 > 0:08:24Well, you ought to know, you're working with 'em.
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Ought to know what?
0:08:26 > 0:08:29The Herberts have decided we need to be examined by their doctors.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30Go back in the line!
0:08:30 > 0:08:33So it's true, they're turning the whole area
0:08:33 > 0:08:35into an official Wehrmacht brothel.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38To the victor, the spoils, huh?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40You won't be able to come around here any more, Harry.
0:08:40 > 0:08:42Yeah, very funny(!)
0:08:43 > 0:08:45Inspector Archer?
0:08:45 > 0:08:50Sir, is it true the SS are using the police to chase Resistance fighters?
0:08:50 > 0:08:53It's nonsense. We're non-political and we always will be.
0:08:53 > 0:08:55BARRAGE OF QUESTIONS
0:09:03 > 0:09:05- Morning, Denham.- Sir.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07- Is that the way to the roof? - Yes, sir.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Morning.
0:09:11 > 0:09:13CLOCK TICKS

0:09:25 > 0:09:30Huh! Fancy some petrol coupons, Harry?
0:09:31 > 0:09:33You could get to Timbuktu on this lot.
0:09:35 > 0:09:38Looks like our antique dealer had a couple of sidelines.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41Remember that gang that murdered the warehouse manager in Fulham?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44They were forging Luftwaffe petrol coupons.
0:09:44 > 0:09:45Could be the same mob.
0:09:46 > 0:09:49Well, Doc?
0:09:51 > 0:09:53First bullet in the chest, second one into the top of the lung.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55Death probably instantaneous.
0:09:55 > 0:09:57Has the pathologist been?
0:09:57 > 0:09:59No, he's probably stuck at some roadblock.
0:09:59 > 0:10:02That Resistance shooting caused a bit of a stink.
0:10:04 > 0:10:05Good teeth.
0:10:07 > 0:10:10- There's blood in the mouth.- He probably hit his face when he fell.

0:10:18 > 0:10:19What's this?
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Cataracts? Was he blind?
0:10:25 > 0:10:28I couldn't tell you. They're not like any cataracts I've seen.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32Fine clothes. Not short of money.
0:10:34 > 0:10:35Although they could fit better.
0:10:35 > 0:10:38Maybe it was an argument with his tailor, huh?
0:10:43 > 0:10:45Oooh...!
0:10:46 > 0:10:47That's worth a small fortune.
0:10:52 > 0:10:54A-hem!
0:11:06 > 0:11:08What have you got, Harry?
0:11:08 > 0:11:11Eight pounds, three shillings, keys.
0:11:11 > 0:11:15Railway ticket, monthly. Return and a half.
0:11:15 > 0:11:17From London to Bringle Sands.
0:11:26 > 0:11:29Here, Peter Thomas.
0:11:29 > 0:11:32ID issued at, er...Kingston Record Office.
0:11:32 > 0:11:35Kingston? That's the one the Resistance burned down.
0:11:35 > 0:11:39- Yeah.- Convenient. Can't be traced.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45Care to hazard a time of death, Doctor?
0:11:45 > 0:11:49Er...between six and seven this morning.
0:11:49 > 0:11:52Harry, would you bag up these ashes, please?
0:11:52 > 0:11:55Yeah. I'll have a word with the neighbours.
0:11:57 > 0:11:58Thanks, Doc.

0:14:02 > 0:14:05And you are...Madam?
0:14:05 > 0:14:08Miss. I'd rather not be mistaken for a madam.
0:14:08 > 0:14:11It's Barbara Barga, New York Times.
0:14:11 > 0:14:13Have you been in London long?
0:14:13 > 0:14:17I arrived ten days ago on the inaugural Lufthansa flight.
0:14:17 > 0:14:19With Goebbels and Goering.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22You must be important.
0:14:24 > 0:14:26Yet you just walked away from the scene of a crime.
0:14:29 > 0:14:31I saw you.
0:14:33 > 0:14:35What is the crime?
0:14:35 > 0:14:38Well, from the way you disappeared, I thought you'd guessed.
0:14:38 > 0:14:39The menu, sir.
0:14:41 > 0:14:45Foul play. Isn't that what you call it over here?
0:14:45 > 0:14:47You don't seem surprised.
0:14:47 > 0:14:49No.
0:14:49 > 0:14:51But I hoped it wasn't.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55For Peter's sake.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03What was it?
0:15:07 > 0:15:08Suicide?
0:15:11 > 0:15:12He was shot.
0:15:15 > 0:15:17Any idea why?
0:15:19 > 0:15:21He was what we call a hustler.
0:15:21 > 0:15:23Who knows what deals he was into?
0:15:26 > 0:15:28And what was your relationship?
0:15:30 > 0:15:32He was helping me on a piece about Americans
0:15:32 > 0:15:34who chose to stay in London.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36A year of occupation, that kind of thing.
0:15:38 > 0:15:41Poor old Peter.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45I ran out of film yesterday, he said he'd get me a roll.
0:15:45 > 0:15:47But I guess everything in the apartment
0:15:47 > 0:15:48is considered evidence now.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55So you walked away to avoid getting involved.
0:15:56 > 0:15:59Didn't do me much good.
0:15:59 > 0:16:04Well...that outfit's always going to get you noticed.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09I'm not sure all policemen would be so observant.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20I guess dealers like him will be rubbing their hands at the thought
0:16:20 > 0:16:23of all the new stuff that will come from the fighting in the North.
0:16:23 > 0:16:26You are well-informed.
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Funny. I'm not hungry any more.
0:16:36 > 0:16:37I'll need to see you again.
0:16:39 > 0:16:41Where can I reach you?
0:16:41 > 0:16:42The Dorchester.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45For some reason, I never got invited to the reopening.
0:16:45 > 0:16:48Hm. It's not what it was.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20So, what have you been up to?
0:18:20 > 0:18:22I'm not entirely sure.
0:18:22 > 0:18:25What did you get?
0:18:25 > 0:18:27Er...well, according to the neighbours,
0:18:27 > 0:18:32Peter Thomas was involved with some Luftwaffe Feldwebel.
0:18:32 > 0:18:34Big guy, spectacles.
0:18:34 > 0:18:37Probably from the Quartermaster's Depot in Marylebone.
0:18:37 > 0:18:40Supplied them with all their goodies for their parties.
0:18:40 > 0:18:43You know, drugs, painted ladies.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46I'm going to send his description to the Military Police.
0:18:46 > 0:18:48If the Military are involved, they take over.
0:18:51 > 0:18:53Puts us in a spot, doesn't it?
0:18:53 > 0:18:56- Eh?- That antique shop, it was a Resistance safe house.
0:18:58 > 0:19:01A transmitter aerial hidden in the ceiling.
0:19:04 > 0:19:07Well, if it is Resistance, that becomes an SS job,
0:19:07 > 0:19:09not Military Police.
0:19:09 > 0:19:11Either way, it's not our responsibility.
0:19:14 > 0:19:17Right. Well, I'll...just send the file.
0:19:18 > 0:19:20What do you want to do with these ashes?
0:19:24 > 0:19:26We'll keep hold of those for now, I think.
0:19:29 > 0:19:30What is it?
0:19:33 > 0:19:36That look. I've seen that a thousand times.
0:19:37 > 0:19:38What?
0:19:41 > 0:19:43A woman, this morning.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46Well, she was headed for Peter Thomas' place,
0:19:46 > 0:19:48until she saw the bobbies outside, then made herself scarce.
0:19:48 > 0:19:52Right. Well, let's get her description, then, huh?
0:19:53 > 0:19:55I managed to talk to her.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58American. A journalist.
0:19:58 > 0:20:00And a liar.
0:20:01 > 0:20:03She claims she was after Thomas for film,
0:20:03 > 0:20:06but someone like that can get that sort of stuff easily from the US Embassy,
0:20:06 > 0:20:09or the German Press Bureau.

0:23:43 > 0:23:45HUBBUB
0:23:55 > 0:23:57What did they want?
0:23:58 > 0:24:00I've been reassigned. Genealogy.
0:24:02 > 0:24:04They want details on all the support staff.
0:24:04 > 0:24:07Family histories, bloodlines.
0:24:07 > 0:24:09Weed out the undesirables.
0:24:11 > 0:24:12Hm.
0:24:12 > 0:24:14I thought...
0:24:16 > 0:24:18Well, I hoped it wouldn't come to this.
0:24:18 > 0:24:20Not so quickly.
0:24:22 > 0:24:25Look, I'll go upstairs and insist you stay working with me.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29I thought it was your job to protect all of us.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32You don't get it, do you?
0:24:38 > 0:24:39We'll talk tomorrow.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44Were you always like this, or was it her dying that did it to you?
0:25:46 > 0:25:48Here.
0:25:51 > 0:25:53- Hello?- Hello, Mr Archer.
0:25:53 > 0:25:55Dad! Is it murder?
0:25:55 > 0:25:57Murder at the antiques shop, wasn't it, Mr Archer?
0:25:57 > 0:25:59It was in the early edition.
0:25:59 > 0:26:01Detective Bob Sheenan.
0:26:01 > 0:26:02DOUGGIE CHUCKLES
0:26:05 > 0:26:07You like 'em soft, don't you, Mr Archer?
0:26:07 > 0:26:09I put one in as soon as I heard you on the stairs.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11I've had my eggs for the week, Mrs Sheenan.
0:26:11 > 0:26:13Not to worry, we've got six from Mrs Custance.
0:26:13 > 0:26:15- I don't know how you do it. - Well, you helped.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18I gave her that smelly old sweater of yours to unravel for wool.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20All the eggs are yours, really.
0:26:20 > 0:26:23I liked that jumper.
0:26:23 > 0:26:24I thought...
0:26:27 > 0:26:29Men! You're as bad as my Tom.
0:26:29 > 0:26:32- Good day at school, boys?- Yeah.
0:26:33 > 0:26:36Did you behave yourself today, Bob?
0:26:36 > 0:26:37Yes, Mr Archer.
0:26:37 > 0:26:40Ha-ha-ha-ha! Why don't I believe you?
0:26:43 > 0:26:45I've put one spoonful of real tea in it.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48- You look like you could use it. - Thank you.
0:26:49 > 0:26:51Well, it was a murder enquiry,
0:26:51 > 0:26:54but it doesn't look like I'm going to be involved.
0:26:54 > 0:26:57- Was it a juicy one?- Douggie!
0:26:57 > 0:27:01MUSIC: Key To The Highway by John Lee Hooker
0:27:08 > 0:27:12# I got the key to the highway
0:27:12 > 0:27:16# And I'm billed out and bound to go
0:27:17 > 0:27:21# I'm going to leave here running
0:27:21 > 0:27:24# Because walking is most too slow
0:27:27 > 0:27:32# I'm going down on the border...#
0:27:32 > 0:27:34Dad! Dad! Come and see!
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Hurry!
0:27:44 > 0:27:45It's a Jaguar!
0:27:50 > 0:27:51HE SIGHS
0:28:13 > 0:28:15Na gut.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25CAR STARTS
0:29:25 > 0:29:28Yeah. I don't like the look of his liver.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33Explain to me.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36It's diseased.
0:29:36 > 0:29:37It's most interesting.
0:29:37 > 0:29:41I...I've never seen one quite like it.
0:29:41 > 0:29:43I wonder how your antique dealer carried on.
0:29:45 > 0:29:47How near to death by liver failure was he?
0:29:47 > 0:29:52I wouldn't have given him more than...two months.
0:29:54 > 0:29:56What about the eyes?
0:29:59 > 0:30:02I saw something like that in the Great War.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05Glare from magnesium shells.
0:30:06 > 0:30:08Photokeratitis.
0:30:10 > 0:30:13I want all his internal organs and his eyes
0:30:13 > 0:30:17packed and ready to be flown to Berlin on the morning flight.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Then there is nothing to keep me.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24Sir John, your knowledge and experience is invaluable.
0:30:24 > 0:30:29Please, finish the postmortem so a report can accompany the remains.
0:30:29 > 0:30:32But for now, you will all leave this room.
0:30:34 > 0:30:35Except for Inspector Archer.
0:31:08 > 0:31:09You were on your way to a party?
0:31:15 > 0:31:17There's a reception at The Savoy in your honour,
0:31:17 > 0:31:19Standartenfuhrer Dr Huth.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22Kellermann. He has the subtlety of a pig.
0:31:25 > 0:31:27What else does he have planned for me?
0:31:28 > 0:31:32General Kellermann thought you might like to see the Houses of Parliament on the way, sir.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34As I say, a pig.
0:31:37 > 0:31:40Does that mean you would or wouldn't like to see the Houses of Parliament?
0:31:40 > 0:31:42It means, my dear Superintendent,
0:31:42 > 0:31:45that I do not have the slightest intention of spending the evening
0:31:45 > 0:31:49watching a roomful of army officers and their overdressed women
0:31:49 > 0:31:53guzzling champagne and, between mouthfuls of smoked salmon,
0:31:53 > 0:31:55telling me the best place to buy Staffordshire china.
0:31:59 > 0:32:02Very well, then, I'll take you to your accommodation on Brook Street.
0:32:02 > 0:32:03You will take me to my office.
0:32:03 > 0:32:07And then you will requisition a car for your permanent use.
0:32:09 > 0:32:11As I need you to be mobile, Inspector Archer.
0:32:11 > 0:32:14We are going to be busy, you and I.
0:32:22 > 0:32:23HORN BLARES
0:32:25 > 0:32:26LOW CHATTER
0:32:28 > 0:32:31In some way, it's a shame the battle spared such dreary areas.
0:32:33 > 0:32:35I'm sorry.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37Your wife was killed in one such action.
0:32:38 > 0:32:40I'm afraid the blame is Winston Churchill's.
0:32:40 > 0:32:42None of this need have happened.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Well, from what I heard, he paid his debt.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51The rumours, the V sign in the face of the firing squad,
0:32:51 > 0:32:53Pure propaganda put out by your Resistance.
0:32:54 > 0:32:57So...this Peter Thomas murder...?
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Well, it looks like a black-market killing.
0:32:59 > 0:33:01A flat full of military cigarettes,
0:33:01 > 0:33:03alcohol, petrol coupons.
0:33:03 > 0:33:06We already have a statement from a neighbour
0:33:06 > 0:33:08saying that a Luftwaffe Feldwebel was a frequent visitor.
0:33:08 > 0:33:10Yes.
0:33:13 > 0:33:17You sent the files to the Feldgendarmerie straightaway.
0:33:17 > 0:33:19And within the hour, the SS claimed them back
0:33:19 > 0:33:21and a teleprinter message from Berlin
0:33:21 > 0:33:23instructed the army to pass all papers back to you.
0:33:27 > 0:33:29But that instruction could've only come from the Supreme Commander.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Heil Hitler.
0:33:31 > 0:33:32LOW CHATTER
0:33:34 > 0:33:36Of course, you speak excellent German.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39You took modern languages at Oxford. Pembroke.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41I was at King's College.
0:33:42 > 0:33:43Happy times there.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51How long did you resist working for us?
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I'm not sure General Kellermann gave me any choice.
0:33:59 > 0:34:02That is the problem with having a reputation.
0:34:03 > 0:34:06You don't think for a minute it's a black-market murder.
0:34:10 > 0:34:13In my experience, the truth doesn't offer itself up just like that.
0:34:13 > 0:34:15No loose ends?
0:34:18 > 0:34:21A railway ticket, from Bringle Sands.
0:34:22 > 0:34:24It's a resort on the South Coast.
0:34:24 > 0:34:25I know exactly where it is.
0:34:27 > 0:34:30You are having misgivings about this investigation.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33You got Sir John Shields to perform the autopsy.
0:34:33 > 0:34:36He's the top pathologist in the country. Physician to His Majesty.
0:34:36 > 0:34:38- Your point? - If you have a strong suspicion
0:34:38 > 0:34:41of what Peter Thomas was suffering from, I ought to be told.
0:34:45 > 0:34:47Have you seen anything like this before?
0:34:47 > 0:34:49No, but some of my staff have.
0:34:49 > 0:34:52They inform me it is far more dangerous
0:34:52 > 0:34:54than any Black Death or such.
0:34:56 > 0:34:57So it's infectious?
0:35:00 > 0:35:02We are fine.
0:35:02 > 0:35:04And what caused it?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07Something at Bringle Sands?
0:35:07 > 0:35:09Quite possibly.
0:35:19 > 0:35:22Very nice. Now, get rid of all this silly junk.
0:35:22 > 0:35:26Get lockable filing cases and a metal desk.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28Telephones, four direct lines
0:35:28 > 0:35:31that do not go through Kellermann's switchboard.
0:35:31 > 0:35:34And I need a table and chair in the corridor for my sentry.
0:35:34 > 0:35:36- Where's my sentry?- Sentry, sir?
0:35:36 > 0:35:39Don't stand there repeating everything I say.
0:35:39 > 0:35:41Get on to the SS guard commander at Cannon Row,
0:35:41 > 0:35:43tell him to send a sentry and half-a-dozen men
0:35:43 > 0:35:45to clear this furniture out.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49I doubt there'll be workmen available at this time of night, sir.
0:35:49 > 0:35:52I will be in conference room number three with Major Steiger.
0:35:52 > 0:35:54I expect it all to be done before I return.
0:35:54 > 0:35:58And in the morning, I want to see a team piecing together these ashes
0:35:58 > 0:36:00you found in the grate at the murder scene.
0:36:09 > 0:36:11Talk about a new broom, eh?
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I haven't seen this much activity
0:36:13 > 0:36:15since the night the invasion started.
0:36:21 > 0:36:24Four new lines, tested and functioning.
0:36:25 > 0:36:27Are you all right?
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Well...
0:36:29 > 0:36:32Sylvia, she, er...she's gone and done it.
0:36:32 > 0:36:37She...she walked out and grabbed a handful of blank SIPO passes,
0:36:37 > 0:36:38from what it looks like.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42She's got herself on the list.
0:36:44 > 0:36:46Damn it!
0:36:46 > 0:36:47Yeah.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50PHONE RINGS
0:36:56 > 0:36:59Standartenfuhrer Huth's office.
0:36:59 > 0:37:03Archer. Splendid. Is the Standartenfuhrer with you?
0:37:03 > 0:37:05He's in number three conference room, sir.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Unfortunately, he's left orders
0:37:07 > 0:37:09that no calls should be put through to him there.
0:37:09 > 0:37:11That doesn't apply to me, of course,
0:37:11 > 0:37:13but there appears to be something wrong
0:37:13 > 0:37:15with the phone in the conference room.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18That's probably because the Signals staff are changing the lines, sir.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21What? At this time of night?
0:37:21 > 0:37:23Changing phones in my office?
0:37:23 > 0:37:25Standartenfuhrer Huth's a very busy man, sir.
0:37:25 > 0:37:27Which is why he never arrived at The Savoy.
0:37:27 > 0:37:28Achtung!
0:37:28 > 0:37:30Archer?
0:37:30 > 0:37:31Alle raus, bitte.
0:37:31 > 0:37:33Should I come over there now?
0:37:33 > 0:37:36Standartenfuhrer has just walked in, sir.
0:37:55 > 0:38:00Do not discuss the workings of this office with outsiders.
0:38:01 > 0:38:04- It was General Kellermann, sir. - How do you know?
0:38:04 > 0:38:07I'm reliably informed your drunken friend here
0:38:07 > 0:38:09can manage a fairly convincing imitation
0:38:09 > 0:38:12of General Kellermann's English, for instance.
0:38:12 > 0:38:15The Peter Thomas murder investigation is part of an operation
0:38:15 > 0:38:18we have codenamed Schlussene, the Final Act.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22I shall be notified of all arrests in connection with this case
0:38:22 > 0:38:26and no information goes outside this room without my written permission,
0:38:26 > 0:38:30or that of Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler. Clear?
0:38:30 > 0:38:31Unforgettably so, sir.
0:38:31 > 0:38:33Any breach of this instruction
0:38:33 > 0:38:37is not only a capital offence under Section 134
0:38:37 > 0:38:39of the Military Orders of the Commander-in-Chief Great Britain,
0:38:39 > 0:38:41for which the penalty is a firing squad,
0:38:41 > 0:38:45but also under Section 11 of your own Emergency Powers
0:38:45 > 0:38:47German Occupation Act 1941,
0:38:47 > 0:38:49for which they hang offenders at Wandsworth Prison.
0:38:52 > 0:38:54Would the hanging or the shooting come first, sir?
0:38:54 > 0:38:56HE CHUCKLES
0:38:56 > 0:39:00We must always leave something for the jury to decide. Gentlemen.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09HUBBUB
0:39:18 > 0:39:21- Morning. - Dad! Was it an all-night party?
0:39:21 > 0:39:22If only.
0:39:24 > 0:39:26- Morning.- Morning.
0:39:26 > 0:39:28- Thank you. - Oh, I'll make something for you.
0:39:28 > 0:39:30No, I'm fine.
0:39:30 > 0:39:33Boys...I've got a car.
0:39:33 > 0:39:35So I'm going to take you to school in half an hour.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38- Is it the Jaguar?- No, it's not.
0:39:38 > 0:39:40You're not going back there without a rest?
0:39:40 > 0:39:42I'm just getting my second wind.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48The bathwater's still warm. Only the children have used it.
0:39:57 > 0:40:00Woman down the street saw an ambulance train going south
0:40:00 > 0:40:02through Clapham Junction Monday.
0:40:04 > 0:40:06It was full of wounded German soldiers.
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Two Red Cross coaches on the back.
0:40:08 > 0:40:11I'd be careful who you tell that to, Mrs Sheenan.
0:40:11 > 0:40:13Oh, I wouldn't tell anyone, that block warden might hear about it.
0:40:15 > 0:40:16But I can talk to you, Mr Archer.
0:40:19 > 0:40:21Well, in the towns,
0:40:21 > 0:40:24it's just the odd murder here and there of German soldiers.
0:40:24 > 0:40:27But in the country, there are bigger groups
0:40:27 > 0:40:31ambushing whole German patrols.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38So, the fighting's not over? There's still a chance?
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Well, I'm afraid the winter's coming.
0:40:44 > 0:40:46You mean the cold will get them?
0:40:46 > 0:40:49Well, they can't light fires for fear of smoke.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53There'll be no leaves left, so no cover.
0:40:54 > 0:40:56Spotter planes will have it easy.
0:40:57 > 0:40:59I think that'll be it for the Resistance.
0:40:59 > 0:41:02Except maybe in the north, in the unoccupied zone.
0:41:02 > 0:41:04Yeah, they say it's bad up there.
0:41:04 > 0:41:06Shortages.
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Those poor boys!
0:41:15 > 0:41:17You think I'll ever see my Tom again?
0:41:19 > 0:41:21I don't know what to tell Bob.
0:41:22 > 0:41:26The Germans have promised to return all POWs as soon as possible.
0:41:26 > 0:41:28What do the Germans care?
0:41:29 > 0:41:31They're getting cheap labour.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33What can our government offer in exchange?
0:41:43 > 0:41:46Give it time, Mrs Sheenan.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48SHE SIGHS
0:41:48 > 0:41:50You mustn't let Bob see you unhappy.
0:41:53 > 0:41:54SHE SNIFFS
0:41:54 > 0:41:58The POW camps are more comfortable than the internment ones.
0:42:00 > 0:42:02I know that's not much consolation.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23Dad...
0:42:23 > 0:42:25Do you work for the Gestapo?
0:42:28 > 0:42:30No.
0:42:31 > 0:42:34I'm a detective with the Metropolitan Police. You know that.
0:42:34 > 0:42:36The Gestapo are at Scotland Yard.
0:42:36 > 0:42:38They're in the building next door.
0:42:38 > 0:42:41And they're mostly all Germans.
0:42:42 > 0:42:44But you work with the Gestapo?
0:42:45 > 0:42:47Is that what you've heard?
0:42:47 > 0:42:48The boys at school said so.
0:42:51 > 0:42:53I don't.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59Dad...me and some of the boys at school were wondering,
0:42:59 > 0:43:01could you get a Gestapo badge?
0:43:04 > 0:43:06The Gestapo don't have badges, Douggie.
0:43:06 > 0:43:08They use identity tags.
0:43:09 > 0:43:12Well, could you get one of the SS armbands?
0:43:12 > 0:43:15Or one of the silver-wire SD badges?
0:43:15 > 0:43:17Yeah. No-one at school's got one of them.
0:43:23 > 0:43:26Boys...one day, the Germans will be gone.
0:43:27 > 0:43:29And we'll carry on
0:43:29 > 0:43:33and get back to the way we were and how things were.
0:43:38 > 0:43:40If we let things fall apart now
0:43:40 > 0:43:44because they're here, then it's going to be difficult
0:43:44 > 0:43:47or impossible to get back there.
0:43:48 > 0:43:50The law is all we have.
0:43:53 > 0:43:56And, quite frankly...I'm it.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01HE STARTS THE CAR
0:44:33 > 0:44:36- Doug.- Sylvia!
0:44:39 > 0:44:42You shouldn't be anywhere near here. Are you mad?
0:44:42 > 0:44:45Don't you know Whitehall has regular Gendarmerie patrols?
0:44:48 > 0:44:50When you stole those passes,
0:44:50 > 0:44:52you ended up on every Gestapo list in the occupied zone.
0:44:57 > 0:45:00Christ! It's not for you, it's for The Mall shooting.
0:45:00 > 0:45:03- Argh! - SMASH!
0:45:03 > 0:45:04- There's a side door.- No!
0:45:04 > 0:45:07They'll have plain-clothes men watching for anyone acting suspiciously.
0:45:10 > 0:45:11What the hell are you doing?!
0:45:15 > 0:45:17Herr Unteroffizier?
0:45:24 > 0:45:25What are you doing?
0:45:25 > 0:45:28You're hurting my wrist, you bloody bastard!
0:45:45 > 0:45:48- Danke.- Bitte. Next!
0:45:57 > 0:45:59The Germans view those SIPO passes you took
0:45:59 > 0:46:02as just about the most valuable piece of paper a foreigner can be given.
0:46:02 > 0:46:04A foreigner?!
0:46:04 > 0:46:06- That's not how I meant it. - Yes, it is.
0:46:06 > 0:46:09That's what we are, as far as you're concerned - foreigners.
0:46:09 > 0:46:11The Germans are the ones with the right to be here
0:46:11 > 0:46:13and we're the intruders who have to bow and bloody scrape.
0:46:13 > 0:46:16- Calm down!- Get your hands off me, you bloody Gestapo bastard!
0:46:19 > 0:46:22- Have you been drinking?- So what? - Sylvia!
0:46:22 > 0:46:26- GUNFIRE - Look at you. You're pathetic!
0:46:26 > 0:46:29I've got friends who don't go in fear and trembling of the hunt.
0:46:29 > 0:46:31You wouldn't understand that, would you?
0:46:31 > 0:46:35No. Too busy doing their dirty work for them.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40I'm a bloody fool for not having guessed.
0:46:42 > 0:46:43You're Resistance.
0:46:43 > 0:46:46Why are you here?
0:46:46 > 0:46:49And what have we been doing these past months?
0:46:49 > 0:46:52Lucky old me, it's not your job to hunt us down.
0:46:52 > 0:46:54- Not yet, anyway. - What do you want, Sylvia?
0:46:54 > 0:46:56Have you run out of information to hand on?
0:46:56 > 0:46:58Well, we both got something, didn't we?
0:46:58 > 0:47:00You didn't answer my question.
0:47:05 > 0:47:09Maybe I wanted to tell you you needed to be more careful.
0:47:09 > 0:47:12There are some a lot more determined than me.
0:47:12 > 0:47:14I don't doubt that.
0:47:14 > 0:47:17They'd do anything to make people like you cooperate.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19- I've said enough.- What do you mean?
0:47:19 > 0:47:21- Just leave me alone! - What are they going to do?
0:47:21 > 0:47:23- I don't know!- Who are they?!
0:47:23 > 0:47:26Heroes, not collaborators, like you lot!
0:47:26 > 0:47:29I'm doing this for all of us, you bloody fool!
0:47:35 > 0:47:36Give me a name.
0:47:40 > 0:47:41John.
0:47:41 > 0:47:43I don't know his surname.
0:47:44 > 0:47:47He comes and goes, he always has a different scheme.
0:47:47 > 0:47:48Now it's you.
0:47:48 > 0:47:51Me? Where can I find him?
0:47:54 > 0:47:55Where?
0:47:58 > 0:48:00The Coach And Horses, Hammersmith.
0:48:02 > 0:48:05They say he took out a Panzer with a tyre iron.
0:48:05 > 0:48:06Cost him his arm.
0:48:08 > 0:48:10If you've only just guessed about me,
0:48:10 > 0:48:12I suppose you haven't twigged to Harry yet.
0:48:12 > 0:48:13SHE SCOFFS
0:49:00 > 0:49:02Morning, Jimmy. Busy?
0:49:02 > 0:49:06All these bloomin' arrangements for the friendship ceremony
0:49:06 > 0:49:08between them and the Russkies.
0:49:10 > 0:49:12Maybe it's a good thing I'm borrowing you, then.
0:49:14 > 0:49:15Oh, great. Plain clothes?
0:49:17 > 0:49:18Get changed.
0:49:18 > 0:49:21Yeah, well, I keep my old suit in the locker since last time.
0:49:21 > 0:49:23Good. I'll walk with you.
0:49:29 > 0:49:31I need you to check on someone.
0:49:31 > 0:49:32A character called John.
0:49:38 > 0:49:39He's a regular at The Coach And Horses.
0:49:39 > 0:49:42Upper Mall, Hammersmith. Missing an arm.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46I would do it myself, but I think he knows me.
0:49:50 > 0:49:52This isn't strictly police business.
0:49:52 > 0:49:53He may be Resistance.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55So I understand if you don't want to do it.
0:50:00 > 0:50:03If you think it needs to be done, sir, I'm in.
0:50:03 > 0:50:09Good. Draw a pistol and keep your wits about you. All right?
0:50:40 > 0:50:41Anything wrong, Super?
0:50:46 > 0:50:48I ran into Sylvia.
0:50:50 > 0:50:53Christ! Is she all right?
0:50:57 > 0:51:00Of course, you knew she was Resistance, didn't you?
0:51:02 > 0:51:04Just like you know everything else.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08Well, you can hardly blame her.
0:51:08 > 0:51:10Having your parents killed like that.
0:51:20 > 0:51:24Oh, I, er...did some digging.
0:51:24 > 0:51:28That American dame, seems to be who she says.
0:51:28 > 0:51:31Barbara Barga has quite a reputation.
0:51:33 > 0:51:35Do you think she could be Resistance, too?
0:51:37 > 0:51:38It seems everyone is.
0:51:39 > 0:51:42A Yank? Why would she get involved?
0:51:44 > 0:51:45I don't know.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49But she had a rendezvous at that safe house.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53Are you sure you're not talking yourself around
0:51:53 > 0:51:55so you can go and see her again?
0:51:55 > 0:51:58PHONE RINGS
0:52:11 > 0:52:13Archer.
0:52:13 > 0:52:16Sir, a barman gave me information.
0:52:16 > 0:52:18He's called John Spode.
0:52:18 > 0:52:20I've got the address.
0:52:20 > 0:52:21Well done. Where?
0:52:21 > 0:52:23Peveril Lane, Hammersmith.
0:52:23 > 0:52:27I've gained access with a bit of force, if you know what I mean.
0:52:28 > 0:52:29All right.
0:53:37 > 0:53:38This was hidden.
0:54:00 > 0:54:02A team of scientists.
0:54:10 > 0:54:12That must be our man - John Spode.
0:54:15 > 0:54:17And that's our dead man from Shepherd Market.
0:54:20 > 0:54:22William Spode.
0:54:25 > 0:54:26Brothers.
0:54:26 > 0:54:28- Check on those scientists in the picture.- Will do.
0:55:11 > 0:55:13That from the Peter Thomas shooting?
0:55:13 > 0:55:16The William Spode shooting, we can call it now.
0:55:17 > 0:55:20I'll bet there's no such person as Peter Thomas.
0:55:20 > 0:55:23And this places his younger brother at the shooting.
0:55:26 > 0:55:28My guess is he'll be back for this.
0:55:29 > 0:55:31So he killed his own brother?
0:55:34 > 0:55:35It's hard to imagine.
0:55:37 > 0:55:38Perhaps.
0:55:40 > 0:55:43Find out the part number and how to get a replacement.
0:55:46 > 0:55:48Letter from a school,
0:55:48 > 0:55:51confirming position of assistant music teacher.
0:55:51 > 0:55:53Beech Road!
0:55:53 > 0:55:55- What is it, sir? - That's my son's school.
0:55:57 > 0:55:59He's after Douggie!
0:55:59 > 0:56:02Call Central! Get them to put a watch put on this place in case he comes back!
0:56:02 > 0:56:06- Why would he want your son, sir? - John Spode's Resistance.
0:56:06 > 0:56:08They want to control me and get to me through my son.
0:56:08 > 0:56:10What else could it be?
0:56:11 > 0:56:13Call Harry Woods!
0:56:18 > 0:56:22# I vow to thee, my country
0:56:22 > 0:56:26# All earthly things above
0:56:26 > 0:56:30# Entire and whole and perfect
0:56:30 > 0:56:34# The service of my love
0:56:34 > 0:56:38# The love that asks no questions
0:56:38 > 0:56:41# The love that stands the test
0:56:41 > 0:56:45# That lays upon the altar...#
0:56:53 > 0:56:56- Douggie would have been safe with me.- How the hell do you know?!
0:56:56 > 0:56:58Schlussene, the Final Act.
0:56:58 > 0:57:02It would have the ability to wipe out an entire city.
0:57:02 > 0:57:03Don't go home without me, will you?
0:57:05 > 0:57:09We need nothing of you, except loyalty to your country.
0:57:09 > 0:57:11We all of us have to take risks, Douglas.
0:57:11 > 0:57:13We've taken one by telling you as much as we have.
0:57:13 > 0:57:15Don't go back there and say no deal.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17- What if I did?- Then they'd kill you.
0:57:17 > 0:57:19You know too much now to be allowed to stay uncommitted.
0:57:19 > 0:57:22I'm going to give you a lesson you will never forget.
0:57:22 > 0:57:25I'm worried about you, Doug. Being Huth's man.
0:57:25 > 0:57:27It doesn't look good to some people.
0:57:27 > 0:57:30Don't turn your back, man, this is your doing.
