0:00:07 > 0:00:09You'll be working closely with Dr Huth.
0:00:09 > 0:00:10We're going to be busy.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12It's Barbara Barga, New York Times.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14American. A journalist.
0:00:14 > 0:00:16And a liar.
0:00:16 > 0:00:17Jimmy, I need you to check on someone.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Draw a pistol and keep your wits about you.
0:00:20 > 0:00:22- What are they going to do? - I don't know.
0:00:22 > 0:00:24- Who are they?- Heroes, not collaborators like you lot!
0:00:24 > 0:00:27- He's called John Spode. - He's after Douggie.
0:00:27 > 0:00:28Why would he want your son, sir?
0:00:28 > 0:00:30John Spode is Resistance.
0:00:30 > 0:00:33They want to control me and get to me through my son.

0:01:16 > 0:01:18A hymn about a patriotic sacrifice.
0:01:19 > 0:01:20How quaint.
0:01:22 > 0:01:24Where's the man in charge?
0:01:24 > 0:01:25What's the meaning of this outrage?
0:01:25 > 0:01:27Outrage? Please.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Don't talk to me like that.
0:01:29 > 0:01:31It sets such a bad example.
0:01:31 > 0:01:32Who are you?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34I'm the headmaster.
0:01:35 > 0:01:37Where is he?
0:01:37 > 0:01:38Speak up!
0:01:38 > 0:01:41A man called John Spode. With one arm.
0:01:41 > 0:01:42He's working with the choir.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44The new fellow? He... I don't know.
0:01:44 > 0:01:47He... He's due here, he might be somewhere.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Then we must find him.
0:01:48 > 0:01:50The man is a suspected Resistance fighter.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52Then, of course, I hope you find him.

0:01:56 > 0:01:57The area is being secured.
0:01:57 > 0:02:00Sir, the SS is not needed here.
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Spode is the subject of my investigation,
0:02:02 > 0:02:04I must insist that his civil liberties are not infringed.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06I will be the one to take him into custody.
0:02:06 > 0:02:09Come on, Superintendent. You'll have scared him away.
0:02:09 > 0:02:12But we'll have a thorough check all the same.
0:02:12 > 0:02:13We are here to help -
0:02:13 > 0:02:15not shoot him, if that's what you fear.
0:02:21 > 0:02:23This man Spode, I don't know him.
0:02:23 > 0:02:24Tell them!
0:02:25 > 0:02:28You're working with them, I know you are.
0:02:28 > 0:02:29Tell them I'm innocent!
0:02:29 > 0:02:33My God, man, are you going to just stand there and watch?
0:02:43 > 0:02:44Sir.
0:02:53 > 0:02:55Douggie. Douggie come here.
0:03:10 > 0:03:13Have you heard anything more from your secretary, Sylvia?
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I know about the Trafalgar Square business.
0:03:16 > 0:03:18You were followed, of course.
0:03:18 > 0:03:19Of course.
0:03:21 > 0:03:23But surely she was followed too?
0:03:23 > 0:03:26The man assigned to her was not experienced enough.
0:03:26 > 0:03:28Not for an agent like her.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34You did not realise? A man like you?
0:03:36 > 0:03:39We should have put her in the bag when we had the chance.
0:03:39 > 0:03:40She smelled trouble and got out.
0:03:40 > 0:03:42Or perhaps someone warned her.
0:03:44 > 0:03:45Stay here.
0:03:53 > 0:03:56Ah, Sergeant. You can take Inspector Archer's son home for him.
0:03:56 > 0:03:58We have work to do.
0:06:09 > 0:06:10Where's Mrs Sheenan?
0:06:11 > 0:06:13She's gone to collect Bob.
0:06:14 > 0:06:18The bastards are down at the school, ransacking the place, I hear.
0:06:20 > 0:06:21Can I go to Tim's?
0:06:21 > 0:06:23No, you're going nowhere.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51Why didn't you tell me you were onto this Spode?
0:06:53 > 0:06:55You know damn well why.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58You trust that bloody kid Dunn more than you trust me.
0:07:00 > 0:07:02And I've known you for 15 years.
0:07:04 > 0:07:06If you'd have just called me,
0:07:06 > 0:07:08we could have rolled this up,
0:07:08 > 0:07:11without those Nazis terrorising kids
0:07:11 > 0:07:12in a church, for God's sake!
0:07:12 > 0:07:15Do you think that was the last thing I wanted?
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Spode's Resistance,
0:07:17 > 0:07:19and I wasn't sure you wouldn't put your country above a friendship.
0:07:24 > 0:07:25I wouldn't blame you.
0:07:28 > 0:07:29One thing I will tell you...
0:07:30 > 0:07:31..that kid, Dunn...
0:07:33 > 0:07:36..he doesn't have the experience to handle a case like this.

0:08:15 > 0:08:17Mrs Sheenan?
0:08:17 > 0:08:21I'm going to The Two Brewers with Sergeant Woods.
0:08:21 > 0:08:22Don't answer the door to anyone.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40What is it you want?
0:08:40 > 0:08:41Hmm?
0:08:41 > 0:08:42No Resistance?
0:08:42 > 0:08:44No hope? Huh?
0:08:46 > 0:08:51What I want is PC Dunn as well as you working on this case.
0:08:51 > 0:08:53Young blood. All right?
0:08:56 > 0:08:59Christ, did you see the way Mrs Sheenan looked at me?
0:09:01 > 0:09:02And she likes me.
0:09:04 > 0:09:06Yeah, you're in a pickle all right.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08But what are you going to do, resign?
0:09:08 > 0:09:11Get your work permit, your ration book taken away?
0:09:11 > 0:09:13- You've got a son.- Don't I know it.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16Murderers need catching. That's what you've always said,
0:09:16 > 0:09:18and that's what you should keep doing,
0:09:18 > 0:09:20cos you are Archer of the Yard, aren't you?
0:09:20 > 0:09:21Piss off, Harry.
0:09:27 > 0:09:30Oh, I nearly forgot. You got an invitation.
0:09:30 > 0:09:32Do you remember someone called Sydney Garin?
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Yeah, little Armenian art dealer.
0:09:36 > 0:09:38Yeah, Graf von Garin now.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Famous expert on Aryan art.
0:09:42 > 0:09:46Sell paintings, art treasures to the Germans - sell for them.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Anyway, he phoned and invited you
0:09:50 > 0:09:53to some big do tomorrow night.
0:09:53 > 0:09:54Black tie.
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Oh, that's new. I wonder what he's got planned for me.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Well, maybe you shouldn't go.
0:10:03 > 0:10:05An antique dealer might know something
0:10:05 > 0:10:07about the Shepherd Market murder.
0:10:07 > 0:10:11Or maybe he thinks you're in with the Germans,
0:10:11 > 0:10:13just like he is.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16I'm worried about you, Doug.
0:10:16 > 0:10:20You walk around with your eyes half-shut.
0:10:21 > 0:10:24You don't see the changes, you don't see what we've lost,
0:10:24 > 0:10:26and it's only going to get worse.
0:10:26 > 0:10:29And you don't trust me.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32And you can't trust yourself.
0:10:35 > 0:10:36You're wrong, Harry.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41You know, being Huth's man...
0:10:42 > 0:10:44..doesn't look good to some people.
0:10:46 > 0:10:49You be careful out there, on the streets.
0:10:51 > 0:10:52Thanks for the beer.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07So good of you to come and see me.
0:11:14 > 0:11:16There. Fantastic. Yes, fantastic.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41How do you find, er, Standartenfuhrer Huth?
0:11:44 > 0:11:45Enigmatic.
0:11:45 > 0:11:46Yes.
0:11:47 > 0:11:51Well, the Shepherd Market murder seems to have piqued his interest.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57I understand that he's trying to piece together
0:11:57 > 0:12:01some charred remains of some documents you found.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03You expect him to find anything?
0:12:03 > 0:12:05It would be easier to put Humpty Dumpty back together.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07Humpty Dumpty!
0:12:08 > 0:12:09What is that?
0:12:45 > 0:12:47This is your famous Archer, yes?
0:12:49 > 0:12:53Perhaps the celebrated policeman can explain to his confused superior
0:12:53 > 0:12:58the niceties of property law under military occupation.
0:12:59 > 0:13:04Well, I have to admit, some of the niceties elude even me, General.

0:13:37 > 0:13:40to a Reichskommissar from our own SS ranks.
0:13:42 > 0:13:44Then we'll see who has the King's horses.

0:14:41 > 0:14:43These Resistance are playing a funny game.
0:14:47 > 0:14:50My guess is they'll try to contact you again soon.
0:14:50 > 0:14:53Probably not the girl next time, could be anyone.
0:14:53 > 0:14:55Say yes to whatever they want.
0:14:56 > 0:14:58Get their proposition.
0:14:59 > 0:15:01Their proposition was to kidnap my son.
0:15:01 > 0:15:03To blackmail you.
0:15:03 > 0:15:05Show them they can trust you.
0:15:07 > 0:15:10They'd do better by negotiation than by terror attacks.
0:15:10 > 0:15:11I want to control this situation.
0:15:11 > 0:15:15And will the Resistance really do better by negotiating?
0:15:15 > 0:15:18Well, that's what I want you to tell them.
0:15:18 > 0:15:20I'm a reasonable man.
0:15:20 > 0:15:21Let me hear their demands.
0:15:22 > 0:15:25Whoever gives me Spode can expect favours.
0:15:27 > 0:15:3115 Resistance men are due to be hanged - or not, if I intercede.
0:15:31 > 0:15:34- PHONE RINGS - They should know that.

0:16:32 > 0:16:35Did you help John Spode go after my son?
0:16:35 > 0:16:39I warned you, didn't I?
0:16:39 > 0:16:41- I told you.- What were you thinking?

0:23:11 > 0:23:13he's a fool.
0:23:13 > 0:23:14You're right, Bernard.
0:23:14 > 0:23:16And don't you forget it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:18Things will get better.
0:23:18 > 0:23:20But only if we make them better.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24And how would we do that?
0:23:26 > 0:23:27Do you really want to know?
0:23:28 > 0:23:30Yes, I do.
0:23:30 > 0:23:34Good. Well, then, maybe we should have a chat later.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37There's someone here I'd like you to meet.
0:23:37 > 0:23:38Of course.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40Splendid. I'll catch you.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16Hello, Miss Barga.
0:24:18 > 0:24:19What a nice surprise.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25You may compliment me on the dress.
0:24:25 > 0:24:29It's a Laurenti from Paris, cost me three months' salary.
0:24:31 > 0:24:32It left me speechless.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37Nice recovery, Superintendent.
0:24:37 > 0:24:39Are you buying tonight?
0:24:39 > 0:24:41Sadly, I've no more space on my walls.
0:24:42 > 0:24:44Though I do like the Turners.
0:24:44 > 0:24:46Apparently it's being shipped off to Goering tomorrow.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50And he's getting eight or nine decadent surrealist pieces
0:24:50 > 0:24:52confiscated from non-Aryan owners.
0:24:52 > 0:24:55He plays the game well, does Garin.
0:24:57 > 0:24:59Smooth as silk and twice as slippery.
0:25:00 > 0:25:02But he sure knows how to throw a party.
0:25:03 > 0:25:05Takes me back to my days in high school.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09In the Midwest?
0:25:09 > 0:25:10Wisconsin.
0:25:10 > 0:25:13My boyfriend was on the football team and I was a cheerleader.
0:25:17 > 0:25:20Well, I suppose you know how to dance, then.
0:25:20 > 0:25:21We could give it a try.
0:25:30 > 0:25:32# Never stray
0:25:32 > 0:25:35# From my side
0:25:35 > 0:25:38# If you love me... #
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Say, you're good, Superintendent!
0:25:45 > 0:25:47Well, you mustn't believe everything you read
0:25:47 > 0:25:48about policeman and their feet.
0:25:49 > 0:25:51I used to dance quite a lot at one time.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56I heard about your wife, Superintendent.
0:25:57 > 0:25:59That's a terrible thing.
0:26:00 > 0:26:01And you have a little boy too.
0:26:02 > 0:26:04I'm not alone in misfortune.
0:26:05 > 0:26:07I like that you still wear the ring.
0:26:09 > 0:26:11So you've been making enquiries about me?
0:26:14 > 0:26:15It's a part of the job.
0:26:15 > 0:26:17Though I should have caught your name
0:26:17 > 0:26:19and realised you were Archer of the Yard.
0:26:28 > 0:26:29Do you mind not being recognised?
0:26:31 > 0:26:33Not being recognised is part of my job.
0:26:36 > 0:26:39So what happened to the football player in Wisconsin?
0:26:40 > 0:26:42I married him.
0:26:43 > 0:26:45Any progress on that murder case?
0:26:46 > 0:26:48But what the hell, you didn't ask me to dance
0:26:48 > 0:26:49to talk about murder cases, did you?
0:26:49 > 0:26:50Well, I...
0:26:50 > 0:26:54I'm going to be very offended if you say yes to that one, mister.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Are you still married?
0:27:01 > 0:27:03Now, that's more like it.
0:27:08 > 0:27:09I love this song, you know that?
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- SHE SINGS QUIETLY: - # Never stray from my side
0:27:19 > 0:27:21# If you love me
0:27:24 > 0:27:29# Do not hasten to bid me adieu. #
0:27:37 > 0:27:39Don't go home without me, will you?
0:28:09 > 0:28:10Excuse me.
0:28:20 > 0:28:23Thank you for tearing yourself away from Miss Barga.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25You know her?
0:28:25 > 0:28:27Yeah, I've spent a bit of time in Washington and, er...
0:28:27 > 0:28:29she's a popular girl.
0:28:31 > 0:28:32And you seem popular with her.
0:28:34 > 0:28:35Married woman.
0:28:36 > 0:28:38Divorcee.
0:28:49 > 0:28:52Hello, Archer. Good to see you.
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Colonel Mayhew.
0:28:56 > 0:28:58How's your friend Harry Woods?
0:28:58 > 0:29:00Useful prop, back when I used to play.
0:29:00 > 0:29:02Grumpy. He's finding it difficult.
0:29:02 > 0:29:04Difficult for us all.
0:29:07 > 0:29:11I wonder, have the family factories been taken by the Germans?
0:29:11 > 0:29:14Just a question of time, my boy.
0:29:14 > 0:29:15A question of time.
0:29:22 > 0:29:24It's bridge. Penny a point.
0:29:24 > 0:29:26Never thought I'd see the day
0:29:26 > 0:29:29when I'd have to start an evening like this with a pack of used cards.
0:29:31 > 0:29:32Archer.
0:29:32 > 0:29:35We met at a counterintelligence briefing before the war.
0:29:35 > 0:29:37Mayhew here reminded me.
0:29:38 > 0:29:41There's no man I'd rather have with us this evening.
0:29:42 > 0:29:44Thank you, Sir Robert.
0:29:44 > 0:29:46But I'm afraid bridge isn't my strong suit.
0:29:46 > 0:29:48Whist, then.
0:29:49 > 0:29:50Wonderful.
0:29:50 > 0:29:53Haven't played whist since the trenches.
0:29:53 > 0:29:54Thank you.
0:29:54 > 0:29:58I have the character flaw of only enjoying cards if it's for money.
0:29:58 > 0:30:01Awkward, as Cabinet Secretary, if it came out - hence the secrecy.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20Well, our host seems to be nicely in with the Germans.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24It may be that Mr Garin's closeness with the Germans
0:30:24 > 0:30:27isn't entirely selfish.
0:30:27 > 0:30:28I had wondered.
0:30:30 > 0:30:32In light of present company.
0:30:32 > 0:30:36At least with a pack of cards, you can understand the rankings.
0:30:36 > 0:30:38With the Germans I find it quite mystifying.
0:30:38 > 0:30:40SS, SD...
0:30:40 > 0:30:41Gestapo, Wehrmacht.
0:30:41 > 0:30:43You're probably the best-placed Briton in the country
0:30:43 > 0:30:45to have any understanding of this, Archer.
0:30:45 > 0:30:46What a thing to be.
0:30:46 > 0:30:49I'm guessing that the SS are trumps. Would you agree?
0:30:51 > 0:30:53Not exactly.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55Yes, they can only be tried in their own court,
0:30:55 > 0:30:58but the same is true of the German armed forces.
0:30:58 > 0:30:59The SS can't touch them.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Come along, we're playing cards.
0:31:03 > 0:31:05I'm glad that you confirm that.
0:31:05 > 0:31:09Some of the army chaps have been most helpful to us.
0:31:09 > 0:31:13With the Gestapo on their tail, they might have to be more circumspect.
0:31:16 > 0:31:18Some of the army are anti-Hitler?
0:31:18 > 0:31:20Prussians aristocrats, mostly.
0:31:20 > 0:31:22Old-school.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25Can't abide the SS and their bully-boy ways.
0:31:25 > 0:31:29And, erm, what about these fellows with honorary SS ranks?
0:31:29 > 0:31:33Well, Himmler uses those to muzzle and bribe his opponents.
0:31:33 > 0:31:36Some of those men are his most bitter enemies.
0:31:40 > 0:31:41God, I've made a trick.
0:31:41 > 0:31:46So the SS is divided within itself and at war with the German Army?
0:31:47 > 0:31:49And yet they managed to beat us.
0:31:52 > 0:31:56What about this fellow countryman of ours, Rear Admiral Connolly?
0:31:58 > 0:32:00Well, he's a cool customer.
0:32:02 > 0:32:04To walk off an aircraft carrier in Nova Scotia
0:32:04 > 0:32:07and declare yourself the leader of Free Britain...
0:32:08 > 0:32:11..and yet he's only a Commander on the Naval List.
0:32:14 > 0:32:17And the rest are ours, I think.
0:32:17 > 0:32:18Oh.
0:32:20 > 0:32:21Mm.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29Thank you.
0:32:29 > 0:32:32Remember that French Army officer, de Gaulle?
0:32:32 > 0:32:33He escaped to England when France fell.
0:32:33 > 0:32:36He did more or less the same thing, as I remember -
0:32:36 > 0:32:37promoted himself to General
0:32:37 > 0:32:39and declared himself the voice of France.
0:32:41 > 0:32:43But it never really came to anything.
0:32:43 > 0:32:44This is different.
0:32:44 > 0:32:47Connolly was acting on the instructions of the War Cabinet.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50It was Winston's idea,
0:32:50 > 0:32:53when he himself refused to go on one of the flying boats
0:32:53 > 0:32:55that left for Iceland at the very end.
0:32:55 > 0:32:57So I heard.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00But no-one on this side of the Atlantic
0:33:00 > 0:33:02really knows anything about it.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05That's less important than shoring Connolly up for now.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07His position in Washington is tenuous.
0:33:07 > 0:33:11It's dicey. The Germans might take over our Embassy,
0:33:11 > 0:33:14and that would be a bad blow for Connolly's prestige over there.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18So you're in touch with him?
0:33:22 > 0:33:25Have you heard the rumours that the King is unwell?
0:33:27 > 0:33:29Some people are saying he's been moved
0:33:29 > 0:33:31from the Tower of London to St George's.
0:33:35 > 0:33:38Well, I know there's an SS Special Security Battalion
0:33:38 > 0:33:41that's been quartered beside it at Hyde Park Corner.
0:33:42 > 0:33:44It's quite a force.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59You can't be thinking of trying to free him?
0:34:07 > 0:34:08Of course not.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Why was I invited here this evening?
0:34:14 > 0:34:16Is there some connection with the Shepherd Market murder?
0:34:16 > 0:34:19Let's just stay on track, shall we?
0:34:19 > 0:34:21We need nothing of you.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23Except loyalty to your country.
0:34:24 > 0:34:26We're at the knife's edge.
0:34:29 > 0:34:31What about this fellow Huth?
0:34:31 > 0:34:33Could he be of value to us?
0:34:33 > 0:34:34In what venture?
0:34:36 > 0:34:39There's bad blood between him and General Kellermann,
0:34:39 > 0:34:41they loathe each other, but how can that help you?
0:34:41 > 0:34:43We just want to open channels,
0:34:43 > 0:34:45as we have with the German Army.
0:34:48 > 0:34:49That's what he wants.
0:34:50 > 0:34:53Though it could easily be a trap.
0:34:53 > 0:34:55He wanted me to be "open to offers".
0:35:01 > 0:35:03Well, do you trust him?
0:35:04 > 0:35:05Could he be...
0:35:06 > 0:35:07..useful to us?
0:35:09 > 0:35:10Well, I don't know him.
0:35:10 > 0:35:12He's clever, but unpredictable.
0:35:12 > 0:35:14And Kellermann?
0:35:14 > 0:35:16Predictable and not so clever?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19I think that's the way he'd like to be seen.
0:35:21 > 0:35:24Harry Woods calls them Laurel and Hardy.
0:35:24 > 0:35:26God, and we're occupied by them.
0:35:31 > 0:35:33I'll be the go-between.
0:35:34 > 0:35:35Tell me what I have to do.
0:35:36 > 0:35:37Now, wait a minute. Bernard...
0:35:39 > 0:35:40Let's...
0:35:41 > 0:35:44I need to get to know him better.
0:35:44 > 0:35:45This is a massive risk to take.
0:35:47 > 0:35:48Well, we...
0:35:48 > 0:35:51We all of us have to take risks, Douglas.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53We've taken one by telling you as much as we have.
0:36:04 > 0:36:05You have nothing to fear.
0:36:11 > 0:36:13I think that's enough for tonight.
0:36:13 > 0:36:14I have to get going.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16Ah, just a moment.
0:36:17 > 0:36:19These gentlemen owe us money.
0:36:20 > 0:36:21Cough up, Staines.
0:36:25 > 0:36:26Thank you, Sir Robert.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29Thank you.
0:36:42 > 0:36:44SHE SIGHS
0:36:44 > 0:36:46All those terrible people there tonight.
0:36:48 > 0:36:50I've seen the same sort of greedy-eyed politicians
0:36:50 > 0:36:52from Chaco to Addis Ababa.
0:36:53 > 0:36:55Brown shirts, red shirts, black shirts...
0:36:55 > 0:36:57They're all after the same thing.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Coloured shirts? SHE LAUGHS
0:37:00 > 0:37:03That...and grabbing as much of the world as possible.
0:37:05 > 0:37:07Sounds like you've been in a lot of wars.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13I was 18 when my paper sent me down to Paraguay
0:37:13 > 0:37:16to cover the fighting in Chaco.
0:37:16 > 0:37:22Since then, I've filed stories from China, Ethiopia, Spain.
0:37:22 > 0:37:24And last year, I was in Abbeville
0:37:24 > 0:37:26when the German Panzer Divisions arrived.
0:37:28 > 0:37:30- It's a strange job for a woman.- Oh!
0:37:30 > 0:37:32Don't be such an English stuffed shirt!
0:37:40 > 0:37:42So you were 18 when you saw your first war?
0:37:45 > 0:37:46What did your father say?
0:37:48 > 0:37:50He owned the newspaper.
0:37:50 > 0:37:51Ah.
0:37:56 > 0:37:59And you...
0:37:59 > 0:38:01You went into the police force?
0:38:01 > 0:38:03Is this off the record?
0:38:04 > 0:38:05You can trust me.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13I wanted to set the world to rights.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16Hold the front page(!)
0:38:16 > 0:38:17I know.
0:38:24 > 0:38:27This isn't the way to The Dorchester.
0:38:27 > 0:38:29Who said I was still there?
0:38:29 > 0:38:31I'm renting now.
0:38:48 > 0:38:49My lady.
0:38:51 > 0:38:52I'd ask you in for a drink,
0:38:52 > 0:38:55but they need the cars back for the other guests.
0:38:55 > 0:38:57That's all right.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59I can phone the Yard for a car.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01Your own car. You must be important.
0:39:01 > 0:39:03That's what people keep telling me.
0:39:10 > 0:39:12You know they've had 14 break-ins along here
0:39:12 > 0:39:14in the last three months.
0:39:14 > 0:39:16Well, I can stand by the window if you like.
0:39:17 > 0:39:20Well, this looks like a suite at the Dorchester.
0:39:20 > 0:39:22But a lot more private.
0:39:22 > 0:39:24Only problem is it's cold.
0:39:30 > 0:39:32LIGHTER CLICKING
0:39:35 > 0:39:36Let me.
0:39:44 > 0:39:45Coffee, Superintendent?
0:39:45 > 0:39:47Douglas, please.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50People are calling me Douglas now.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52It's all part of the new mood of informality
0:39:52 > 0:39:55that the newspapers say that war brought.
0:39:56 > 0:39:57Douglas, eh?
0:39:58 > 0:40:01I think I like that better than Superintendent.
0:40:02 > 0:40:04So would you?
0:40:04 > 0:40:06Would I what?
0:40:06 > 0:40:08Like coffee?
0:40:10 > 0:40:12I have real grinds. They're hard to come by.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16How real is your brandy?
0:40:16 > 0:40:18Plenty real. Bring it over.
0:40:44 > 0:40:47Winter in this town is going to kill me
0:40:47 > 0:40:50if I don't find some way of keeping warm.
0:40:50 > 0:40:51Maybe there I can help?
0:41:02 > 0:41:04- Cheers.- Cheers.
0:41:16 > 0:41:18See how freezing I am?
0:41:20 > 0:41:23Maybe you're cold blooded.
0:41:23 > 0:41:24I must be.
0:41:39 > 0:41:41Well, that's cosy.
0:42:02 > 0:42:04Don't tear anything.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09I might not get another Paris gown as long as I live.
0:42:40 > 0:42:42You're not going?
0:42:46 > 0:42:49- I must.- To go home?
0:42:50 > 0:42:52Well, it's a bit early for the office.
0:42:53 > 0:42:56Don't be irritable.
0:42:56 > 0:43:00I'm just trying to discover if there's someone else.
0:43:00 > 0:43:01Not that I know of.
0:43:04 > 0:43:06I have to get back for my son.
0:43:13 > 0:43:15(Kiss me.)
0:43:38 > 0:43:40Those people you spoke with tonight...
0:43:40 > 0:43:44Sir Robert Benson, Colonel Mayhew and Staines.
0:43:44 > 0:43:45Don't tell them "no."
0:43:47 > 0:43:48Tell them "yes."
0:43:48 > 0:43:50Tell them "next week,"
0:43:50 > 0:43:52or tell them "maybe."
0:43:52 > 0:43:54But don't tell them "no."
0:43:57 > 0:44:01- Was it them who told you to go along to the antiques shop that day?- No.
0:44:01 > 0:44:03Then what were you doing there...
0:44:05 > 0:44:08- ..asking about a roll of film? - Lay off, will you, Doug?
0:44:13 > 0:44:15Any other advice for me?
0:44:18 > 0:44:21Just that a friend, a guy who covers the White House,
0:44:21 > 0:44:24says that Bernard Staines met with Roosevelt
0:44:24 > 0:44:26three times in the last month.
0:44:26 > 0:44:29One of those meetings took place on the Presidential yacht
0:44:29 > 0:44:31and lasted nearly two hours.
0:44:31 > 0:44:34These guys are into something big, Douglas.
0:44:34 > 0:44:37I'm telling you, don't go back there and say "no deal."
0:44:38 > 0:44:39What if I did?
0:44:41 > 0:44:43Then they'd kill you.
0:44:43 > 0:44:46You know too much now to be allowed to stay uncommitted.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51Like I said,
0:44:51 > 0:44:55I've seen a thousand guys like this all over the world.
0:44:55 > 0:44:57If it came to choosing between your life
0:44:57 > 0:45:01and a chance to get US government recognition of the Connolly set-up,
0:45:01 > 0:45:04do you think they would hesitate for one moment?
0:45:12 > 0:45:15Can I use your phone?
0:45:26 > 0:45:28CID duty officer.
0:45:31 > 0:45:32- HUTH:- You fool, Archer!
0:45:32 > 0:45:35Why do you think we authorise a car service for these big parties?
0:45:35 > 0:45:38So we know where everyone goes.
0:45:38 > 0:45:39Are you still with the girl?
0:45:42 > 0:45:43Yes, sir.
0:45:43 > 0:45:46Stay there. I'm sending someone to bring you to me.
0:46:17 > 0:46:19AEROPLANES OVERHEAD
0:46:26 > 0:46:28Herr Archer.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28FOOTSTEPS
0:48:42 > 0:48:44If you are as clever as I am told...
0:48:45 > 0:48:49..you will have deduced how important this case is to us.
0:48:51 > 0:48:52And why would that be?
0:48:58 > 0:49:00Spode was an atomic physicist.
0:49:01 > 0:49:03It looks like the Resistance killed him
0:49:03 > 0:49:06because he was continuing his work under the Germans.
0:49:06 > 0:49:07But not under the SS.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10Or Dr Huth wouldn't need to bring in his own expert
0:49:10 > 0:49:13- to determine what caused those burns on his corneas.- Hmm.
0:49:15 > 0:49:17Go on.
0:49:18 > 0:49:19Well...
0:49:20 > 0:49:23Given the rivalry between the SS and the Army,
0:49:23 > 0:49:26the Army being in control of a secret atomic programme
0:49:26 > 0:49:28puts them in front, doesn't it?
0:49:29 > 0:49:33Only if an atom bomb really is within their grasp.
0:49:36 > 0:49:41It would have the ability to wipe out perhaps even an entire city.
0:49:42 > 0:49:45That is why it is imperative
0:49:45 > 0:49:47that we find the brother alive.
0:50:18 > 0:50:20Schlussene.
0:50:20 > 0:50:21The final act.
0:50:22 > 0:50:26Your operation to take control of the atomic bomb.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29Precisely. Then the Reich will be truly invincible.
0:50:30 > 0:50:33I was under the impression you thought you already were.
0:50:33 > 0:50:34HE CHUCKLES
0:50:35 > 0:50:39There's always room for improvement, Archer.
0:50:40 > 0:50:45With Germany holding the super-bomb, it will be an end to all war -
0:50:45 > 0:50:48the final phase of our ascendency, prosperity and order.
0:50:50 > 0:50:52We'll bring our industries here.
0:50:52 > 0:50:54Bosch. Siemens.
0:50:55 > 0:50:58Your people will be fully employed.
0:50:58 > 0:51:01This country will be transformed.
0:51:01 > 0:51:02Into what?
0:51:05 > 0:51:08There's a standing instruction, Superintendent.
0:51:08 > 0:51:11All senior police officers provide a contact address,
0:51:11 > 0:51:14or phone number, day and night.
0:51:17 > 0:51:19Yes.
0:51:20 > 0:51:22Come on. I'm going to give you a lesson you will never forget.
0:51:31 > 0:51:34Just wait. You will see what your friends are like.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57This is the area where I used to live.
0:51:59 > 0:52:00Why are you bringing me here?
0:52:12 > 0:52:14What's going on?
0:52:14 > 0:52:16This was my home.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49GENERATOR STARTING
0:52:56 > 0:52:58Jimmy!
0:53:09 > 0:53:13"I was an English hunting dog, working for the German huntsmen."
0:53:13 > 0:53:16The gallant British patriots.
0:53:16 > 0:53:17Are you proud of them?
0:53:18 > 0:53:21Don't turn your back, man. This is your doing!
0:53:35 > 0:53:37HE LAUGHS
0:53:49 > 0:53:52So at last a flicker of emotion.
0:53:52 > 0:53:54I thought I would never see it.
0:53:57 > 0:53:59Jimmy was just doing his job.
0:53:59 > 0:54:02The gallant patriots of the Resistance murder him.
0:54:02 > 0:54:03And you punch me.
0:54:04 > 0:54:06My wife died here!
0:54:06 > 0:54:09They were the ones who chose to put the body here.
0:54:16 > 0:54:20- When did they find him? - 22:47 hours.
0:54:20 > 0:54:23Foot patrols on the clock, every two hours.
0:54:23 > 0:54:26Not exactly making things difficult for The Partisans.
0:54:26 > 0:54:29This is an announcement that they intend to kill you
0:54:29 > 0:54:32unless you do as they say. You realise that, don't you?
0:54:47 > 0:54:48No feelers yet?
0:54:50 > 0:54:52Nobody asked you any subtle questions
0:54:52 > 0:54:55about how you like working for the Huns?
0:54:55 > 0:54:56No.
0:54:56 > 0:54:58Curious.
0:54:58 > 0:55:00Since your reputation has grown
0:55:00 > 0:55:03I would have expected some whining and sniffing around you by now.
0:55:03 > 0:55:07Yeah, well I'll go home and wait for a carrier pigeon!
0:55:07 > 0:55:09Save your humour for Harry Woods.
0:55:09 > 0:55:12Sergeants have to laugh at their superiors' jokes.
0:55:14 > 0:55:17What about Barbara Barga, the American journalist?
0:55:24 > 0:55:25She just wanted a story.
0:55:29 > 0:55:32Everybody wants something, it seems.
0:55:33 > 0:55:34These are dangerous people.
0:55:34 > 0:55:37Don't try and play both ends against the middle.
0:55:39 > 0:55:43Just remember, the axe never mourns the tree it fells.
0:56:23 > 0:56:25Are you all right, Mr Archer?
0:56:26 > 0:56:28Go to bed.
0:56:39 > 0:56:41Is it your wife you're thinking of?
0:56:43 > 0:56:46- I know how you must feel. - How can you possibly know...
0:56:47 > 0:56:49..how I must feel?
0:56:51 > 0:56:53- I'm sorry, I...- Leave me in peace.
0:56:54 > 0:56:55Please.
0:56:56 > 0:56:58Yeah.
0:57:15 > 0:57:17HE SOBS
0:57:29 > 0:57:31Jimmy was our last boy left.
0:57:31 > 0:57:34- Whoever did this... - No, it was you, Doug.
0:57:34 > 0:57:35You did this.
0:57:35 > 0:57:39These people will turn on anyone they start to doubt.
0:57:39 > 0:57:40Let him go!
0:57:43 > 0:57:46What the hell are you doing here with German Army Intelligence?
0:57:48 > 0:57:51I'm hoping to make an arrest, Captain.
0:57:53 > 0:57:56Listen to me! Listen to me! We don't have much time.
0:57:56 > 0:57:57I'm not a spy, Douglas.
0:57:57 > 0:57:59I hear people lie to me all the time.
