On orders from the German army,

0:00:280:00:31

the curfew will be relaxed from Monday

0:00:310:00:33

to celebrate German-Soviet Friendship Week.

0:00:330:00:36

In anticipation of the celebrations,

0:00:360:00:39

one of the few surviving Spitfires

0:00:390:00:41

will be presented to Soviet General Zhukov on The Mall today

0:00:410:00:45

by German air ace Helmut Vig.

0:00:450:00:48

Vice Marshal Goering commented that Herr Helmut Vig's 58 kills

0:00:480:00:52

was a decisive factor in the battle for air supremacy over Britain

0:00:520:00:55

that finally brought peace to Europe...

I have to go.

0:03:450:03:47

No, no, no, no, don't rush off.

0:03:470:03:49

It's the first whole night we've had together in ages.

0:03:490:03:51

HE SIGHS

0:03:510:03:53

Believe me, I'd love to stay.

0:03:530:03:55

Then let's not go in. There's that flu going around.

0:03:550:03:58

-What, both of us?

-A-huh.

0:04:000:04:02

I hate that place now.

0:04:030:04:05

It's very plush here.

0:04:200:04:22

Who else uses these rooms?

0:04:220:04:24

A Reichspropagandaleiter.

0:04:240:04:27

-What if they come back?

-We'll be shot.

0:04:280:04:31

HE CHUCKLES

0:04:310:04:32

He's visiting the South West controlled zone.

0:04:340:04:37

Aren't you the clever one(!)

0:04:370:04:39

If I quit, would you still see me?

0:04:460:04:49

Of course.

0:04:490:04:50

-But don't.

-It's all right for you.

0:04:520:04:55

-Archer of the Yard, all that power.

-Huh!

0:04:560:04:59

Don't talk daft, Sylvia.

0:05:010:05:03

HUBBUB

0:05:040:05:07

For God's sake, get away from the window!

0:05:120:05:14

Come in.

0:05:160:05:18

Don't you like it? It's covering my modesty.

0:05:190:05:22

-Doesn't it do the same for you?

-Don't be a bloody fool.

0:05:220:05:25

PHONE RINGS

0:05:250:05:29

Ja?

0:05:380:05:40

HE SIGHS

0:05:420:05:44

All right. Have you got the murder bag?

0:05:440:05:47

Good.

0:05:480:05:50

HE SIGHS

0:05:500:05:53

Harry Woods.

0:05:530:05:54

A death above an antique shop, Shepherd Market.

0:05:540:05:58

Take that thing off, will you?

0:06:010:06:04

LOW CHATTER

0:06:070:06:09

Yes, Harry?

0:06:210:06:23

Do you get a thrill out of taking stupid risks, huh, Doug?

0:06:230:06:27

Not very subtle, what you're doing with Sylvia.

0:06:270:06:30

How do you know what we get up to?

0:06:300:06:32

I don't know what's got into you.

0:06:320:06:35

Then just drive, Harry.

0:06:350:06:36

Look, all I'm saying is, not on your own doorstep,

0:06:360:06:39

not with your own secretary, for Christ's sake!

0:06:390:06:41

In the...Fritz Ritz!

0:06:410:06:43

Those Herberts might act as if they like you just now,

0:06:500:06:53

but they could turn on you any time.

0:06:530:06:55

Mind your own business, Sergeant.

0:06:550:06:58

Listen, if you have to have it off,

0:06:580:06:59

what about that, er...big-titted German bird

0:06:590:07:02

in the Waffen-SS liaison, huh?

0:07:020:07:03

THEY LAUGH No? I heard she puts it about a bit.

0:07:030:07:07

I thought you disapproved of consorting with the Germans.

0:07:070:07:09

What's the use?

0:07:090:07:12

What do the Resistance hope to achieve with this?

0:07:120:07:15

He gets strung up and his family sent to a labour camp.

0:07:150:07:18

Defiance.

0:07:190:07:21

Nothing wrong with a bit of that.

0:07:210:07:24

What if the Russki had been killed instead, huh?

0:07:240:07:27

That would've put the dampers on their friendship ceremony, wouldn't it?

0:07:270:07:30

Yeah.

0:07:300:07:31

I remember I took you around here when it was my beat.

0:07:520:07:55

Young and innocent, you were.

0:07:550:07:57

Brand-new diploma, not a clue in the world.

0:07:570:08:01

-You're choking me up, Harry(!)

-HARRY CHUCKLES

0:08:010:08:04

No, I'm just saying, when it was my beat, it was nice.

0:08:050:08:10

No, it wasn't.

0:08:100:08:12

Ah, maybe not. The girls were always friendly.

0:08:120:08:15

Well, friendship's not always free around here, is it?

0:08:150:08:18

-Hiya, love.

-Hello, Sergeant.

0:08:180:08:19

What's going on here?

0:08:210:08:22

Well, you ought to know, you're working with 'em.

0:08:220:08:24

Ought to know what?

0:08:240:08:26

The Herberts have decided we need to be examined by their doctors.

0:08:260:08:29

Go back in the line!

0:08:290:08:30

So it's true, they're turning the whole area

0:08:300:08:33

into an official Wehrmacht brothel.

0:08:330:08:35

To the victor, the spoils, huh?

0:08:350:08:38

You won't be able to come around here any more, Harry.

0:08:380:08:40

Yeah, very funny(!)

0:08:400:08:42

Inspector Archer?

0:08:430:08:45

Sir, is it true the SS are using the police to chase Resistance fighters?

0:08:450:08:50

It's nonsense. We're non-political and we always will be.

0:08:500:08:53

BARRAGE OF QUESTIONS

0:08:530:08:55

-Morning, Denham.

-Sir.

0:09:030:09:05

-Is that the way to the roof?

-Yes, sir.

0:09:050:09:07

Morning.

0:09:080:09:10

CLOCK TICKS

0:09:110:09:13

Sorry to disturb, Doc.

0:09:170:09:19

FAINT SHOUTS IN THE STREET

0:09:190:09:22

Huh! Fancy some petrol coupons, Harry?

0:09:250:09:30

You could get to Timbuktu on this lot.

0:09:310:09:33

Looks like our antique dealer had a couple of sidelines.

0:09:350:09:38

Remember that gang that murdered the warehouse manager in Fulham?

0:09:380:09:41

They were forging Luftwaffe petrol coupons.

0:09:410:09:44

Could be the same mob.

0:09:440:09:45

Well, Doc?

0:09:460:09:49

First bullet in the chest, second one into the top of the lung.

0:09:510:09:53

Death probably instantaneous.

0:09:530:09:55

Has the pathologist been?

0:09:550:09:57

No, he's probably stuck at some roadblock.

0:09:570:09:59

That Resistance shooting caused a bit of a stink.

0:09:590:10:02

Good teeth.

0:10:040:10:05

-There's blood in the mouth.

-He probably hit his face when he fell.

0:10:070:10:10

AIRCRAFT OVERHEAD

0:10:130:10:15

What's this?

0:10:180:10:19

Cataracts? Was he blind?

0:10:220:10:25

I couldn't tell you. They're not like any cataracts I've seen.

0:10:250:10:28

Fine clothes. Not short of money.

0:10:280:10:32

Although they could fit better.

0:10:340:10:35

Maybe it was an argument with his tailor, huh?

0:10:350:10:38

Oooh...!

0:10:430:10:45

That's worth a small fortune.

0:10:460:10:47

A-hem!

0:10:520:10:54

What have you got, Harry?

0:11:060:11:08

Eight pounds, three shillings, keys.

0:11:080:11:11

Railway ticket, monthly. Return and a half.

0:11:110:11:15

From London to Bringle Sands.

0:11:150:11:17

Here, Peter Thomas.

0:11:260:11:29

ID issued at, er...Kingston Record Office.

0:11:290:11:32

Kingston? That's the one the Resistance burned down.

0:11:320:11:35

-Yeah.

-Convenient. Can't be traced.

0:11:350:11:39

Care to hazard a time of death, Doctor?

0:11:430:11:45

Er...between six and seven this morning.

0:11:450:11:49

Harry, would you bag up these ashes, please?

0:11:490:11:52

Yeah. I'll have a word with the neighbours.

0:11:520:11:55

Thanks, Doc.

ANGRY SHOUTS

0:13:060:13:09

Get your men under control! It's disgusting what you're doing!

-Argh!

-SHOCKED GASPS

LOW CHATTER

0:13:430:13:45

Do you come here often with Peter Thomas?

0:13:570:13:59

I'm Chief Superintendent Douglas Archer.

0:13:590:14:02

And you are...Madam?

0:14:020:14:05

Miss. I'd rather not be mistaken for a madam.

0:14:050:14:08

It's Barbara Barga, New York Times.

0:14:080:14:11

Have you been in London long?

0:14:110:14:13

I arrived ten days ago on the inaugural Lufthansa flight.

0:14:130:14:17

With Goebbels and Goering.

0:14:170:14:19

You must be important.

0:14:190:14:22

Yet you just walked away from the scene of a crime.

0:14:240:14:26

I saw you.

0:14:290:14:31

What is the crime?

0:14:330:14:35

Well, from the way you disappeared, I thought you'd guessed.

0:14:350:14:38

The menu, sir.

0:14:380:14:39

Foul play. Isn't that what you call it over here?

0:14:410:14:45

You don't seem surprised.

0:14:450:14:47

No.

0:14:470:14:49

But I hoped it wasn't.

0:14:490:14:51

For Peter's sake.

0:14:530:14:55

What was it?

0:15:010:15:03

Suicide?

0:15:070:15:08

He was shot.

0:15:110:15:12

Any idea why?

0:15:150:15:17

He was what we call a hustler.

0:15:190:15:21

Who knows what deals he was into?

0:15:210:15:23

And what was your relationship?

0:15:260:15:28

He was helping me on a piece about Americans

0:15:300:15:32

who chose to stay in London.

0:15:320:15:34

A year of occupation, that kind of thing.

0:15:340:15:36

Poor old Peter.

0:15:380:15:41

I ran out of film yesterday, he said he'd get me a roll.

0:15:420:15:45

But I guess everything in the apartment

0:15:450:15:47

is considered evidence now.

0:15:470:15:48

So you walked away to avoid getting involved.

0:15:520:15:55

Didn't do me much good.

0:15:560:15:59

Well...that outfit's always going to get you noticed.

0:15:590:16:04

I'm not sure all policemen would be so observant.

0:16:070:16:09

GERMAN CONVERSATION

0:16:110:16:14

I guess dealers like him will be rubbing their hands at the thought

0:16:170:16:20

of all the new stuff that will come from the fighting in the North.

0:16:200:16:23

You are well-informed.

0:16:230:16:26

Funny. I'm not hungry any more.

0:16:300:16:32

I'll need to see you again.

0:16:360:16:37

Where can I reach you?

0:16:390:16:41

The Dorchester.

0:16:410:16:42

For some reason, I never got invited to the reopening.

0:16:420:16:45

Hm. It's not what it was.

0:16:450:16:48

Nothing is.

0:16:490:16:51

I don't know.

0:16:520:16:54

Some things can improve with age.

I've been summoned. In there.

0:17:350:17:39

Do you know why?

0:17:420:17:44

You tell me.

0:17:440:17:45

Danke schon.

0:17:560:17:57

-Hi, Doug.

-Harry.

0:18:070:18:09

-Sir.

-Thank you, Jimmy.

0:18:110:18:13

So, what have you been up to?

0:18:170:18:20

I'm not entirely sure.

0:18:200:18:22

What did you get?

0:18:220:18:25

Er...well, according to the neighbours,

0:18:250:18:27

Peter Thomas was involved with some Luftwaffe Feldwebel.

0:18:270:18:32

Big guy, spectacles.

0:18:320:18:34

Probably from the Quartermaster's Depot in Marylebone.

0:18:340:18:37

Supplied them with all their goodies for their parties.

0:18:370:18:40

You know, drugs, painted ladies.

0:18:400:18:43

I'm going to send his description to the Military Police.

0:18:430:18:46

If the Military are involved, they take over.

0:18:460:18:48

Puts us in a spot, doesn't it?

0:18:510:18:53

-Eh?

-That antique shop, it was a Resistance safe house.

0:18:530:18:56

A transmitter aerial hidden in the ceiling.

0:18:580:19:01

Well, if it is Resistance, that becomes an SS job,

0:19:040:19:07

not Military Police.

0:19:070:19:09

Either way, it's not our responsibility.

0:19:090:19:11

Right. Well, I'll...just send the file.

0:19:140:19:17

What do you want to do with these ashes?

0:19:180:19:20

We'll keep hold of those for now, I think.

0:19:240:19:26

What is it?

0:19:290:19:30

That look. I've seen that a thousand times.

0:19:330:19:36

What?

0:19:370:19:38

A woman, this morning.

0:19:410:19:43

Well, she was headed for Peter Thomas' place,

0:19:430:19:46

until she saw the bobbies outside, then made herself scarce.

0:19:460:19:48

Right. Well, let's get her description, then, huh?

0:19:480:19:52

I managed to talk to her.

0:19:530:19:55

American. A journalist.

0:19:550:19:58

And a liar.

0:19:580:20:00

She claims she was after Thomas for film,

0:20:010:20:03

but someone like that can get that sort of stuff easily from the US Embassy,

0:20:030:20:06

or the German Press Bureau.

0:20:060:20:09

She doesn't need the black market.

Weekly debrief with Kellermann.

0:20:170:20:19

Yes, sir, immediately. I was just on my way up.

0:20:210:20:25

Right up my arse(!)

0:20:280:20:30

THEY SPEAK GERMAN

0:20:310:20:34

CONVERSATION IN GERMAN CONTINUES

0:20:340:20:38

Superintendent, come in. Come in.

0:20:380:20:40

These gentlemen are from The Signal Magazine in Berlin.

0:20:400:20:44

Ja, sehr gut. Er...foto?

0:20:470:20:49

Could you and SS-Gruppenfuhrer Kellermann step behind the table

0:20:520:20:56

and look at some notes or a map?

0:20:560:20:58

The new flag for the event with our Russian friends.

0:21:000:21:03

Foto.

0:21:030:21:04

I think they've made the cross of St George a little too small, hm?

0:21:040:21:09

-Could you point at it?

-Yeah.

0:21:090:21:11

Both of you. Please.

0:21:140:21:16

0:21:180:21:20

Superintendent Archer, is it true here at Scotland Yard,

0:21:200:21:24

the men call General Kellermann Father?

0:21:240:21:26

Do I not know what goes on in my force, hm?

0:21:280:21:31

GENERAL KELLERMANN CHUCKLES

0:21:310:21:33

If Scotland Yard's finest detective says it is so, hm,

0:21:330:21:37

-then who am I to question it?

-So...

0:21:370:21:39

Come!

0:21:420:21:44

GENERAL KELLERMANN SIGHS

0:21:450:21:47

I'm sorry about all that. Ah!

0:21:500:21:52

Anything to report?

0:21:550:21:56

A murder in Shepherd Market.

0:21:560:21:59

Looks like German involvement,

0:21:590:22:01

so I expect the Feldgericht der Luftwaffe will take it over.

0:22:010:22:05

Kellermann.

0:22:070:22:08

Well...

0:22:310:22:32

It seems a senior officer of the Sicherheitsdienst

0:22:330:22:36

will be joining us from Berlin. Today.

0:22:360:22:39

DOOR OPENS

0:22:480:22:49

-Herr Gruppenfuhrer?

-Ah, Glott.

0:22:510:22:54

Jawohl, Gruppenfuhrer!

0:23:010:23:03

Naturlich.

0:23:050:23:07

GENERAL KELLERMANN SIGHS

0:23:070:23:09

The reception at The Savoy tonight,

0:23:140:23:17

we can make it in his honour.

0:23:170:23:19

Standartenfuhrer Dr Huth is on the personal staff of Reichsfuhrer Himmler.

0:23:190:23:22

We want him to feel welcome.

0:23:220:23:25

Why is an Intelligence SS officer coming here, sir?

0:23:260:23:29

I don't know.

0:23:290:23:30

But, er...fortunately,

0:23:320:23:34

you'll be working closely with Herr Dr Huth,

0:23:340:23:37

so his thoughts will not be a mystery, if you get my meaning.

0:23:370:23:40

HUBBUB

0:23:430:23:45

What did they want?

0:23:550:23:57

I've been reassigned. Genealogy.

0:23:580:24:00

They want details on all the support staff.

0:24:020:24:04

Family histories, bloodlines.

0:24:040:24:07

Weed out the undesirables.

0:24:070:24:09

Hm.

0:24:110:24:12

I thought...

0:24:120:24:14

Well, I hoped it wouldn't come to this.

0:24:160:24:18

Not so quickly.

0:24:180:24:20

Look, I'll go upstairs and insist you stay working with me.

0:24:220:24:25

I thought it was your job to protect all of us.

0:24:250:24:29

You don't get it, do you?

0:24:300:24:32

We'll talk tomorrow.

0:24:380:24:39

Were you always like this, or was it her dying that did it to you?

0:24:410:24:44

Here.

0:25:460:25:48

-Hello?

-Hello, Mr Archer.

0:25:510:25:53

Dad! Is it murder?

0:25:530:25:55

Murder at the antiques shop, wasn't it, Mr Archer?

0:25:550:25:57

It was in the early edition.

0:25:570:25:59

Detective Bob Sheenan.

0:25:590:26:01

DOUGGIE CHUCKLES

0:26:010:26:02

You like 'em soft, don't you, Mr Archer?

0:26:050:26:07

I put one in as soon as I heard you on the stairs.

0:26:070:26:09

I've had my eggs for the week, Mrs Sheenan.

0:26:090:26:11

Not to worry, we've got six from Mrs Custance.

0:26:110:26:13

-I don't know how you do it.

-Well, you helped.

0:26:130:26:15

I gave her that smelly old sweater of yours to unravel for wool.

0:26:150:26:18

All the eggs are yours, really.

0:26:180:26:20

I liked that jumper.

0:26:200:26:23

I thought...

0:26:230:26:24

Men! You're as bad as my Tom.

0:26:270:26:29

-Good day at school, boys?

-Yeah.

0:26:290:26:32

Did you behave yourself today, Bob?

0:26:330:26:36

Yes, Mr Archer.

0:26:360:26:37

Ha-ha-ha-ha! Why don't I believe you?

0:26:370:26:40

I've put one spoonful of real tea in it.

0:26:430:26:45

-You look like you could use it.

-Thank you.

0:26:450:26:48

Well, it was a murder enquiry,

0:26:490:26:51

but it doesn't look like I'm going to be involved.

0:26:510:26:54

-Was it a juicy one?

-Douggie!

MUSIC: Key To The Highway by John Lee Hooker

0:26:570:27:01

# I got the key to the highway

0:27:080:27:12

# And I'm billed out and bound to go

0:27:120:27:16

# I'm going to leave here running

0:27:170:27:21

# Because walking is most too slow

0:27:210:27:24

# I'm going down on the border...#

0:27:270:27:32

Dad! Dad! Come and see!

0:27:320:27:34

Hurry!

0:27:370:27:39

It's a Jaguar!

0:27:440:27:45

HE SIGHS

0:27:500:27:51

Na gut.

0:28:130:28:15

CAR STARTS

0:28:230:28:25

Yeah. I don't like the look of his liver.

0:29:250:29:28

Explain to me.

0:29:310:29:33

It's diseased.

0:29:340:29:36

It's most interesting.

0:29:360:29:37

I...I've never seen one quite like it.

0:29:370:29:41

I wonder how your antique dealer carried on.

0:29:410:29:43

How near to death by liver failure was he?

0:29:450:29:47

I wouldn't have given him more than...two months.

0:29:470:29:52

What about the eyes?

0:29:540:29:56

I saw something like that in the Great War.

0:29:590:30:02

Glare from magnesium shells.

0:30:020:30:05

Photokeratitis.

0:30:060:30:08

I want all his internal organs and his eyes

0:30:100:30:13

packed and ready to be flown to Berlin on the morning flight.

0:30:130:30:17

Then there is nothing to keep me.

0:30:170:30:20

Sir John, your knowledge and experience is invaluable.

0:30:200:30:24

Please, finish the postmortem so a report can accompany the remains.

0:30:240:30:29

But for now, you will all leave this room.

0:30:290:30:32

Except for Inspector Archer.

0:30:340:30:35

You were on your way to a party?

0:31:080:31:09

There's a reception at The Savoy in your honour,

0:31:150:31:17

Standartenfuhrer Dr Huth.

0:31:170:31:19

Kellermann. He has the subtlety of a pig.

0:31:190:31:22

What else does he have planned for me?

0:31:250:31:27

General Kellermann thought you might like to see the Houses of Parliament on the way, sir.

0:31:280:31:32

As I say, a pig.

0:31:320:31:34

Does that mean you would or wouldn't like to see the Houses of Parliament?

0:31:370:31:40

It means, my dear Superintendent,

0:31:400:31:42

that I do not have the slightest intention of spending the evening

0:31:420:31:45

watching a roomful of army officers and their overdressed women

0:31:450:31:49

guzzling champagne and, between mouthfuls of smoked salmon,

0:31:490:31:53

telling me the best place to buy Staffordshire china.

0:31:530:31:55

Very well, then, I'll take you to your accommodation on Brook Street.

0:31:590:32:02

You will take me to my office.

0:32:020:32:03

And then you will requisition a car for your permanent use.

0:32:030:32:07

As I need you to be mobile, Inspector Archer.

0:32:090:32:11

We are going to be busy, you and I.

0:32:110:32:14

HORN BLARES

0:32:220:32:23

LOW CHATTER

0:32:250:32:26

In some way, it's a shame the battle spared such dreary areas.

0:32:280:32:31

I'm sorry.

0:32:330:32:35

Your wife was killed in one such action.

0:32:350:32:37

I'm afraid the blame is Winston Churchill's.

0:32:380:32:40

None of this need have happened.

0:32:400:32:42

Well, from what I heard, he paid his debt.

0:32:440:32:46

The rumours, the V sign in the face of the firing squad,

0:32:470:32:51

Pure propaganda put out by your Resistance.

0:32:510:32:53

So...this Peter Thomas murder...?

0:32:540:32:57

Well, it looks like a black-market killing.

0:32:570:32:59

A flat full of military cigarettes,

0:32:590:33:01

alcohol, petrol coupons.

0:33:010:33:03

We already have a statement from a neighbour

0:33:030:33:06

saying that a Luftwaffe Feldwebel was a frequent visitor.

0:33:060:33:08

Yes.

0:33:080:33:10

You sent the files to the Feldgendarmerie straightaway.

0:33:130:33:17

And within the hour, the SS claimed them back

0:33:170:33:19

and a teleprinter message from Berlin

0:33:190:33:21

instructed the army to pass all papers back to you.

0:33:210:33:23

But that instruction could've only come from the Supreme Commander.

0:33:270:33:29

Heil Hitler.

0:33:290:33:31

LOW CHATTER

0:33:310:33:32

Of course, you speak excellent German.

0:33:340:33:36

You took modern languages at Oxford. Pembroke.

0:33:360:33:39

I was at King's College.

0:33:390:33:41

Happy times there.

0:33:420:33:43

How long did you resist working for us?

0:33:490:33:51

I'm not sure General Kellermann gave me any choice.

0:33:540:33:57

That is the problem with having a reputation.

0:33:590:34:02

You don't think for a minute it's a black-market murder.

0:34:030:34:06

In my experience, the truth doesn't offer itself up just like that.

0:34:100:34:13

No loose ends?

0:34:130:34:15

A railway ticket, from Bringle Sands.

0:34:180:34:21

It's a resort on the South Coast.

0:34:220:34:24

I know exactly where it is.

0:34:240:34:25

You are having misgivings about this investigation.

0:34:270:34:30

You got Sir John Shields to perform the autopsy.

0:34:300:34:33

He's the top pathologist in the country. Physician to His Majesty.

0:34:330:34:36

-Your point?

-If you have a strong suspicion

0:34:360:34:38

of what Peter Thomas was suffering from, I ought to be told.

0:34:380:34:41

Have you seen anything like this before?

0:34:450:34:47

No, but some of my staff have.

0:34:470:34:49

They inform me it is far more dangerous

0:34:490:34:52

than any Black Death or such.

0:34:520:34:54

So it's infectious?

0:34:560:34:57

We are fine.

0:35:000:35:02

And what caused it?

0:35:020:35:04

Something at Bringle Sands?

0:35:050:35:07

Quite possibly.

0:35:070:35:09

Very nice. Now, get rid of all this silly junk.

0:35:190:35:22

Get lockable filing cases and a metal desk.

0:35:220:35:26

Telephones, four direct lines

0:35:260:35:28

that do not go through Kellermann's switchboard.

0:35:280:35:31

And I need a table and chair in the corridor for my sentry.

0:35:310:35:34

-Where's my sentry?

-Sentry, sir?

0:35:340:35:36

Don't stand there repeating everything I say.

0:35:360:35:39

Get on to the SS guard commander at Cannon Row,

0:35:390:35:41

tell him to send a sentry and half-a-dozen men

0:35:410:35:43

to clear this furniture out.

0:35:430:35:45

I doubt there'll be workmen available at this time of night, sir.

0:35:460:35:49

I will be in conference room number three with Major Steiger.

0:35:490:35:52

I expect it all to be done before I return.

0:35:520:35:54

And in the morning, I want to see a team piecing together these ashes

0:35:540:35:58

you found in the grate at the murder scene.

0:35:580:36:00

Talk about a new broom, eh?

0:36:090:36:11

I haven't seen this much activity

0:36:110:36:13

since the night the invasion started.

0:36:130:36:15

Four new lines, tested and functioning.

0:36:210:36:24

Are you all right?

0:36:250:36:27

Well...

0:36:270:36:29

Sylvia, she, er...she's gone and done it.

0:36:290:36:32

She...she walked out and grabbed a handful of blank SIPO passes,

0:36:320:36:37

from what it looks like.

0:36:370:36:38

She's got herself on the list.

0:36:400:36:42

Damn it!

0:36:440:36:46

Yeah.

0:36:460:36:47

PHONE RINGS

0:36:470:36:50

Standartenfuhrer Huth's office.

0:36:560:36:59

Archer. Splendid. Is the Standartenfuhrer with you?

0:36:590:37:03

He's in number three conference room, sir.

0:37:030:37:05

Unfortunately, he's left orders

0:37:050:37:07

that no calls should be put through to him there.

0:37:070:37:09

That doesn't apply to me, of course,

0:37:090:37:11

but there appears to be something wrong

0:37:110:37:13

with the phone in the conference room.

0:37:130:37:15

That's probably because the Signals staff are changing the lines, sir.

0:37:150:37:18

What? At this time of night?

0:37:180:37:21

Changing phones in my office?

0:37:210:37:23

Standartenfuhrer Huth's a very busy man, sir.

0:37:230:37:25

Which is why he never arrived at The Savoy.

0:37:250:37:27

Achtung!

0:37:270:37:28

Archer?

0:37:280:37:30

Alle raus, bitte.

0:37:300:37:31

Should I come over there now?

0:37:310:37:33

Standartenfuhrer has just walked in, sir.

0:37:330:37:36

Do not discuss the workings of this office with outsiders.

0:37:550:38:00

-It was General Kellermann, sir.

-How do you know?

0:38:010:38:04

I'm reliably informed your drunken friend here

0:38:040:38:07

can manage a fairly convincing imitation

0:38:070:38:09

of General Kellermann's English, for instance.

0:38:090:38:12

The Peter Thomas murder investigation is part of an operation

0:38:120:38:15

we have codenamed Schlussene, the Final Act.

0:38:150:38:18

I shall be notified of all arrests in connection with this case

0:38:180:38:22

and no information goes outside this room without my written permission,

0:38:220:38:26

or that of Reichsfuhrer Heinrich Himmler. Clear?

0:38:260:38:30

Unforgettably so, sir.

0:38:300:38:31

Any breach of this instruction

0:38:310:38:33

is not only a capital offence under Section 134

0:38:330:38:37

of the Military Orders of the Commander-in-Chief Great Britain,

0:38:370:38:39

for which the penalty is a firing squad,

0:38:390:38:41

but also under Section 11 of your own Emergency Powers

0:38:410:38:45

German Occupation Act 1941,

0:38:450:38:47

for which they hang offenders at Wandsworth Prison.

0:38:470:38:49

Would the hanging or the shooting come first, sir?

0:38:520:38:54

HE CHUCKLES

0:38:540:38:56

We must always leave something for the jury to decide. Gentlemen.

0:38:560:39:00

HUBBUB

0:39:060:39:09

-Morning.

-Dad! Was it an all-night party?

0:39:180:39:21

If only.

0:39:210:39:22

-Morning.

-Morning.

0:39:240:39:26

-Thank you.

-Oh, I'll make something for you.

0:39:260:39:28

No, I'm fine.

0:39:280:39:30

Boys...I've got a car.

0:39:300:39:33

So I'm going to take you to school in half an hour.

0:39:330:39:35

-Is it the Jaguar?

-No, it's not.

0:39:350:39:38

You're not going back there without a rest?

0:39:380:39:40

I'm just getting my second wind.

0:39:400:39:42

The bathwater's still warm. Only the children have used it.

0:39:440:39:48

Woman down the street saw an ambulance train going south

0:39:570:40:00

through Clapham Junction Monday.

0:40:000:40:02

It was full of wounded German soldiers.

0:40:040:40:06

Two Red Cross coaches on the back.

0:40:060:40:08

I'd be careful who you tell that to, Mrs Sheenan.

0:40:080:40:11

Oh, I wouldn't tell anyone, that block warden might hear about it.

0:40:110:40:13

But I can talk to you, Mr Archer.

0:40:150:40:16

Well, in the towns,

0:40:190:40:21

it's just the odd murder here and there of German soldiers.

0:40:210:40:24

But in the country, there are bigger groups

0:40:240:40:27

ambushing whole German patrols.

0:40:270:40:31

So, the fighting's not over? There's still a chance?

0:40:350:40:38

Well, I'm afraid the winter's coming.

0:40:400:40:42

You mean the cold will get them?

0:40:440:40:46

Well, they can't light fires for fear of smoke.

0:40:460:40:49

There'll be no leaves left, so no cover.

0:40:500:40:53

Spotter planes will have it easy.

0:40:540:40:56

I think that'll be it for the Resistance.

0:40:570:40:59

Except maybe in the north, in the unoccupied zone.

0:40:590:41:02

Yeah, they say it's bad up there.

0:41:020:41:04

Shortages.

0:41:040:41:06

Those poor boys!

0:41:070:41:09

You think I'll ever see my Tom again?

0:41:150:41:17

I don't know what to tell Bob.

0:41:190:41:21

The Germans have promised to return all POWs as soon as possible.

0:41:220:41:26

What do the Germans care?

0:41:260:41:28

They're getting cheap labour.

0:41:290:41:31

What can our government offer in exchange?

0:41:310:41:33

Give it time, Mrs Sheenan.

0:41:430:41:46

SHE SIGHS

0:41:460:41:48

You mustn't let Bob see you unhappy.

0:41:480:41:50

SHE SNIFFS

0:41:530:41:54

The POW camps are more comfortable than the internment ones.

0:41:540:41:58

I know that's not much consolation.

0:42:000:42:02

Dad...

0:42:210:42:23

Do you work for the Gestapo?

0:42:230:42:25

No.

0:42:280:42:30

I'm a detective with the Metropolitan Police. You know that.

0:42:310:42:34

The Gestapo are at Scotland Yard.

0:42:340:42:36

They're in the building next door.

0:42:360:42:38

And they're mostly all Germans.

0:42:380:42:41

But you work with the Gestapo?

0:42:420:42:44

Is that what you've heard?

0:42:450:42:47

The boys at school said so.

0:42:470:42:48

I don't.

0:42:510:42:53

Dad...me and some of the boys at school were wondering,

0:42:550:42:59

could you get a Gestapo badge?

0:42:590:43:01

The Gestapo don't have badges, Douggie.

0:43:040:43:06

They use identity tags.

0:43:060:43:08

Well, could you get one of the SS armbands?

0:43:090:43:12

Or one of the silver-wire SD badges?

0:43:120:43:15

Yeah. No-one at school's got one of them.

0:43:150:43:17

Boys...one day, the Germans will be gone.

0:43:230:43:26

And we'll carry on

0:43:270:43:29

and get back to the way we were and how things were.

0:43:290:43:33

If we let things fall apart now

0:43:380:43:40

because they're here, then it's going to be difficult

0:43:400:43:44

or impossible to get back there.

0:43:440:43:47

The law is all we have.

0:43:480:43:50

And, quite frankly...I'm it.

0:43:530:43:56

HE STARTS THE CAR

0:43:590:44:01

-Doug.

-Sylvia!

0:44:330:44:36

You shouldn't be anywhere near here. Are you mad?

0:44:390:44:42

Don't you know Whitehall has regular Gendarmerie patrols?

0:44:420:44:45

When you stole those passes,

0:44:480:44:50

you ended up on every Gestapo list in the occupied zone.

0:44:500:44:52

Christ! It's not for you, it's for The Mall shooting.

0:44:570:45:00

-Argh!

-SMASH!

0:45:000:45:03

-There's a side door.

-No!

0:45:030:45:04

They'll have plain-clothes men watching for anyone acting suspiciously.

0:45:040:45:07

What the hell are you doing?!

0:45:100:45:11

Herr Unteroffizier?

0:45:150:45:17

What are you doing?

0:45:240:45:25

You're hurting my wrist, you bloody bastard!

0:45:250:45:28

-Danke.

-Bitte. Next!

0:45:450:45:48

The Germans view those SIPO passes you took

0:45:570:45:59

as just about the most valuable piece of paper a foreigner can be given.

0:45:590:46:02

A foreigner?!

0:46:020:46:04

-That's not how I meant it.

-Yes, it is.

0:46:040:46:06

That's what we are, as far as you're concerned - foreigners.

0:46:060:46:09

The Germans are the ones with the right to be here

0:46:090:46:11

and we're the intruders who have to bow and bloody scrape.

0:46:110:46:13

-Calm down!

-Get your hands off me, you bloody Gestapo bastard!

0:46:130:46:16

-Have you been drinking?

-So what?

-Sylvia!

0:46:190:46:22

-GUNFIRE

-Look at you. You're pathetic!

0:46:220:46:26

I've got friends who don't go in fear and trembling of the hunt.

0:46:260:46:29

You wouldn't understand that, would you?

0:46:290:46:31

No. Too busy doing their dirty work for them.

0:46:310:46:35

I'm a bloody fool for not having guessed.

0:46:380:46:40

You're Resistance.

0:46:420:46:43

Why are you here?

0:46:430:46:46

And what have we been doing these past months?

0:46:460:46:49

Lucky old me, it's not your job to hunt us down.

0:46:490:46:52

-Not yet, anyway.

-What do you want, Sylvia?

0:46:520:46:54

Have you run out of information to hand on?

0:46:540:46:56

Well, we both got something, didn't we?

0:46:560:46:58

You didn't answer my question.

0:46:580:47:00

Maybe I wanted to tell you you needed to be more careful.

0:47:050:47:09

There are some a lot more determined than me.

0:47:090:47:12

I don't doubt that.

0:47:120:47:14

They'd do anything to make people like you cooperate.

0:47:140:47:17

-I've said enough.

-What do you mean?

0:47:170:47:19

-Just leave me alone!

-What are they going to do?

0:47:190:47:21

-I don't know!

-Who are they?!

0:47:210:47:23

Heroes, not collaborators, like you lot!

0:47:230:47:26

I'm doing this for all of us, you bloody fool!

0:47:260:47:29

Give me a name.

0:47:350:47:36

John.

0:47:400:47:41

I don't know his surname.

0:47:410:47:43

He comes and goes, he always has a different scheme.

0:47:440:47:47

Now it's you.

0:47:470:47:48

Me? Where can I find him?

0:47:480:47:51

Where?

0:47:540:47:55

The Coach And Horses, Hammersmith.

0:47:580:48:00

They say he took out a Panzer with a tyre iron.

0:48:020:48:05

Cost him his arm.

0:48:050:48:06

If you've only just guessed about me,

0:48:080:48:10

I suppose you haven't twigged to Harry yet.

0:48:100:48:12

SHE SCOFFS

0:48:120:48:13

Morning, Jimmy. Busy?

0:49:000:49:02

All these bloomin' arrangements for the friendship ceremony

0:49:020:49:06

between them and the Russkies.

0:49:060:49:08

Maybe it's a good thing I'm borrowing you, then.

0:49:100:49:12

Oh, great. Plain clothes?

0:49:140:49:15

Get changed.

0:49:170:49:18

Yeah, well, I keep my old suit in the locker since last time.

0:49:180:49:21

Good. I'll walk with you.

0:49:210:49:23

I need you to check on someone.

0:49:290:49:31

A character called John.

0:49:310:49:32

He's a regular at The Coach And Horses.

0:49:380:49:39

Upper Mall, Hammersmith. Missing an arm.

0:49:390:49:42

I would do it myself, but I think he knows me.

0:49:430:49:46

This isn't strictly police business.

0:49:500:49:52

He may be Resistance.

0:49:520:49:53

So I understand if you don't want to do it.

0:49:530:49:55

If you think it needs to be done, sir, I'm in.

0:50:000:50:03

Good. Draw a pistol and keep your wits about you. All right?

0:50:030:50:09

Anything wrong, Super?

0:50:400:50:41

I ran into Sylvia.

0:50:460:50:48

Christ! Is she all right?

0:50:500:50:53

Of course, you knew she was Resistance, didn't you?

0:50:570:51:00

Just like you know everything else.

0:51:020:51:04

Well, you can hardly blame her.

0:51:060:51:08

Having your parents killed like that.

0:51:080:51:10

Oh, I, er...did some digging.

0:51:200:51:24

That American dame, seems to be who she says.

0:51:240:51:28

Barbara Barga has quite a reputation.

0:51:280:51:31

Do you think she could be Resistance, too?

0:51:330:51:35

It seems everyone is.

0:51:370:51:38

A Yank? Why would she get involved?

0:51:390:51:42

I don't know.

0:51:440:51:45

But she had a rendezvous at that safe house.

0:51:470:51:49

Are you sure you're not talking yourself around

0:51:510:51:53

so you can go and see her again?

0:51:530:51:55

PHONE RINGS

0:51:550:51:58

Archer.

0:52:110:52:13

Sir, a barman gave me information.

0:52:130:52:16

He's called John Spode.

0:52:160:52:18

I've got the address.

0:52:180:52:20

Well done. Where?

0:52:200:52:21

Peveril Lane, Hammersmith.

0:52:210:52:23

I've gained access with a bit of force, if you know what I mean.

0:52:230:52:27

All right.

0:52:280:52:29

This was hidden.

0:53:370:53:38

A team of scientists.

0:54:000:54:02

That must be our man - John Spode.

0:54:100:54:12

And that's our dead man from Shepherd Market.

0:54:150:54:17

William Spode.

0:54:200:54:22

Brothers.

0:54:250:54:26

-Check on those scientists in the picture.

-Will do.

0:54:260:54:28

That from the Peter Thomas shooting?

0:55:110:55:13

The William Spode shooting, we can call it now.

0:55:130:55:16

I'll bet there's no such person as Peter Thomas.

0:55:170:55:20

And this places his younger brother at the shooting.

0:55:200:55:23

My guess is he'll be back for this.

0:55:260:55:28

So he killed his own brother?

0:55:290:55:31

It's hard to imagine.

0:55:340:55:35

Perhaps.

0:55:370:55:38

Find out the part number and how to get a replacement.

0:55:400:55:43

Letter from a school,

0:55:460:55:48

confirming position of assistant music teacher.

0:55:480:55:51

Beech Road!

0:55:510:55:53

-What is it, sir?

-That's my son's school.

0:55:530:55:55

He's after Douggie!

0:55:570:55:59

Call Central! Get them to put a watch put on this place in case he comes back!

0:55:590:56:02

-Why would he want your son, sir?

-John Spode's Resistance.

0:56:020:56:06

They want to control me and get to me through my son.

0:56:060:56:08

What else could it be?

0:56:080:56:10

Call Harry Woods!

0:56:110:56:13

# I vow to thee, my country

0:56:180:56:22

# All earthly things above

0:56:220:56:26

# Entire and whole and perfect

0:56:260:56:30

# The service of my love

0:56:300:56:34

# The love that asks no questions

0:56:340:56:38

# The love that stands the test

0:56:380:56:41

# That lays upon the altar...#

0:56:410:56:45

-Douggie would have been safe with me.

-How the hell do you know?!

0:56:530:56:56

Schlussene, the Final Act.

0:56:560:56:58

It would have the ability to wipe out an entire city.

0:56:580:57:02

Don't go home without me, will you?

0:57:020:57:03

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

0:57:050:57:09

We all of us have to take risks, Douglas.

0:57:090:57:11

We've taken one by telling you as much as we have.

0:57:110:57:13

Don't go back there and say no deal.

0:57:130:57:15

-What if I did?

-Then they'd kill you.

0:57:150:57:17

You know too much now to be allowed to stay uncommitted.

0:57:170:57:19

I'm going to give you a lesson you will never forget.

0:57:190:57:22

I'm worried about you, Doug. Being Huth's man.

0:57:220:57:25

It doesn't look good to some people.

0:57:250:57:27

Don't turn your back, man, this is your doing.
