0:00:02 > 0:00:04September 12, 1943 -
0:00:04 > 0:00:09German paratroopers snatched Mussolini from his mountain-top prison in Italy.
0:00:12 > 0:00:17This daring and successful exploit stunned the world.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20Inspired by the rescue of his ally,
0:00:20 > 0:00:24Hitler ordered an even more daring bid - to capture his greatest enemy.
0:02:33 > 0:02:36Morning. Good morning, Herr Admiral.
0:02:38 > 0:02:43Send Oberst Radl to me at once. I have notified him.
0:02:43 > 0:02:45Thank you.
0:02:52 > 0:02:54KNOCKING
0:02:56 > 0:03:03- Come in, Radl.- Herr Admiral. - Come and sit down.
0:03:06 > 0:03:12The meeting went well? The Fuehrer had something specific in mind?
0:03:14 > 0:03:22A simple exercise in logistics. Nothing very complicated.
0:03:22 > 0:03:29He merely wants Winston Churchill brought from London to Berlin(!)
0:03:29 > 0:03:34We are ordered to make a feasibility study.
0:03:34 > 0:03:39Today's Wednesday. By Friday, he will forget it.
0:03:39 > 0:03:41But HIMMLER will not.
0:03:41 > 0:03:44Reichsfuehrer Himmler approved?
0:03:44 > 0:03:47Only of my being put on the spot.
0:03:47 > 0:03:50You should have seen that meeting!
0:03:50 > 0:03:55There was Hitler, ranting, cajoling, then perfectly rational,
0:03:55 > 0:04:02then raging and stamping like the ringmaster of a freak circus!
0:04:02 > 0:04:07Goebbels, hopping from foot to foot like a...like a schoolboy!
0:04:07 > 0:04:09Bormann - a vulture!
0:04:09 > 0:04:15Perched in the corner, watching, listening, never speaking!
0:04:15 > 0:04:18And Mussolini...Mussolini!
0:04:18 > 0:04:21An automaton!
0:04:21 > 0:04:27I looked round, and I wondered, "Am I the only one who can see it!?"
0:04:27 > 0:04:32And if so, what must I look like to THEM...?
0:04:37 > 0:04:40Admiral, the feasibility study...
0:04:40 > 0:04:45..will be a total and unnecessary waste of time!
0:04:47 > 0:04:49Make it immediately.
0:04:54 > 0:04:57Complete for the last month.
0:04:57 > 0:05:02If Herr Oberst could give me a rough idea of our problem...
0:05:02 > 0:05:08- The Fuehrer has instructed us to kidnap Churchill.- Good God!
0:05:08 > 0:05:12Do a feasibility study on it, Karl.
0:05:12 > 0:05:16Something which might fit our needs came in yesterday.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19If I may, sir...
0:05:19 > 0:05:23Eh...no... Ja, here it is.
0:05:23 > 0:05:30From Codename Starling. A village in England called Studley Constable.
0:05:36 > 0:05:43- How do we receive reports from this Starling?- By radio and the Spanish Embassy in London.
0:05:44 > 0:05:48Exactly where is Studley Constable?
0:05:48 > 0:05:53The east coast of England, the county of Norfolk.
0:05:53 > 0:05:56- Let's have a look.- Yes, sir.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20- Larger scale.- Jawohl, Herr Oberst.
0:06:22 > 0:06:23Here...
0:06:33 > 0:06:36Ah! Herr Oberst...
0:06:46 > 0:06:53- Isolated coastline, very rural, wide beaches, salt marshes.- Ideal!
0:06:53 > 0:06:56Now, a man to lead it, Karl !
0:07:08 > 0:07:13"Crash-landed glider assault, Belgium.
0:07:13 > 0:07:18"Dropped into Crete, '41... Wounded at Maleme, Knight's Cross.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22"Led volunteer assault, Leningrad.
0:07:22 > 0:07:27"Stalingrad - Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and Sword.
0:07:27 > 0:07:33"Dropped into Kiev, with 167 surviving in unit, to get two cut-off regiments out of Russia.
0:07:33 > 0:07:38"Oberst Kurt Steiner."
0:07:38 > 0:07:43- What is the language? - "Educated in England."
0:07:50 > 0:07:54AIR RAID SIREN
0:07:54 > 0:07:59Third time this month! Despite Goering's personal guarantee (!)
0:08:03 > 0:08:06Are you familiar with Jung's works?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I am aware of them, not familiar, sir.
0:08:09 > 0:08:17A great thinker, a rational man... And yet he speaks of something called "synchronicity" -
0:08:17 > 0:08:24events having a coincidence in time, so that one feels a much deeper motivation is involved.
0:08:24 > 0:08:27- Ja, I understand.- Take this affair.
0:08:27 > 0:08:33The Fuehrer has the absurd idea that we abduct Churchill.
0:08:33 > 0:08:37We are prodded into making a worthless report on this.
0:08:37 > 0:08:43- Suddenly, synchronicity rears its disturbing head.- Ja, I see that.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46We receive a routine report
0:08:46 > 0:08:51that next weekend Churchill will spend the weekend
0:08:51 > 0:08:56in a country manor just 7 miles from a deserted coastline.
0:08:56 > 0:09:01At any other time, this report would mean nothing.
0:09:01 > 0:09:06At this particular time, in that particular file...
0:09:06 > 0:09:10it becomes a circumstance which titillates,
0:09:10 > 0:09:16- a coincidence to...tease us... - NEARBY EXPLOSIONS
0:09:16 > 0:09:21You surely don't really believe it can be carried off...?
0:09:21 > 0:09:26A wink from a pretty girl results rarely in climax, Karl.
0:09:26 > 0:09:32But a man is a fool not to push the idea as far as it will go.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36EXPLOSIONS CONTINUE
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Find this man for me, Karl. He's been out of Germany too long.
0:10:15 > 0:10:19COMMANDS BARKED IN GERMAN
0:10:54 > 0:10:57ENGINE STOPS
0:11:05 > 0:11:10Hans... Hans!
0:11:10 > 0:11:13- Hmm?- Let's stretch our legs.
0:11:27 > 0:11:32Stay on the train! No-one allowed off the train!
0:11:35 > 0:11:36I beg your pardon, sir.
0:11:39 > 0:11:47- Sir, you must remain on the train. - If memory serves me, the Polish Army surrendered in 1939.
0:11:47 > 0:11:50- Sir...? - Who are these people?
0:11:51 > 0:11:57- Well, Jews, sir.- Jews?- We are razing the ghetto to the ground.
0:11:57 > 0:12:02- They put up a hell of a fight.- How? With umbrellas and crutches?
0:12:09 > 0:12:10Halt!
0:12:21 > 0:12:24- I'll take the prisoner.- "Prisoner"!?
0:12:29 > 0:12:31What is...
0:12:47 > 0:12:50- What is your name?- Brana...
0:12:51 > 0:12:54Good luck, Brana.
0:12:59 > 0:13:01GUNSHOT
0:13:12 > 0:13:15Identify yourself.
0:13:18 > 0:13:24Oberst Kurt Steiner, commanding the Twelfth Parachute Detachment.
0:13:26 > 0:13:33A salute is customary to a General, Herr Oberst, even to one of the SS.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38You didn't seem quite so... discriminating a moment ago.
0:13:38 > 0:13:41I have nothing for or against the Jews personally,
0:13:41 > 0:13:44I have seen too many good men die for cause
0:13:44 > 0:13:47to watch a young girl be killed for SPORT!
0:13:47 > 0:13:50Straub was doing his duty...
0:13:50 > 0:13:56He reminds me of something I pick up on my shoe in the gutter!
0:13:56 > 0:13:59If you have the dubious honour of commanding this slaughter,
0:13:59 > 0:14:03I advise you to keep him downwind at all times!
0:14:03 > 0:14:07- That's if you can tell the difference.- For God's sake, Kurt.
0:14:07 > 0:14:10What am I to do with you?
0:14:10 > 0:14:14You're a military hero,
0:14:14 > 0:14:17awarded the Knight's Cross with Oak Leaves and Sword.
0:14:17 > 0:14:21Yet you aided an enemy of the state,
0:14:21 > 0:14:25abetted by the mutinous conduct of your men!
0:14:25 > 0:14:29By rights, you should all be court-martialled!
0:14:29 > 0:14:36Difficult decisions are the privilege of rank, Herr Gruppenfuehrer.
0:14:39 > 0:14:42But...as for my men, I...
0:14:43 > 0:14:48They seem to feel a certain...loyalty to me.
0:14:49 > 0:14:56I...eh...don't suppose you could content yourself with my head
0:14:56 > 0:14:59and overlook THEIR part in this?
0:15:04 > 0:15:07There you are, you see, Hans?
0:15:07 > 0:15:09It's infallible.
0:15:26 > 0:15:29- Herr Oberst?- In here, Karl.
0:15:33 > 0:15:35- Good morning.- Good morning, sir.
0:15:35 > 0:15:41The material arrived from Starling. It is excellent, truly excellent.
0:15:53 > 0:15:58- Ja, ja, that is good... - What news of Oberst Steiner?
0:15:58 > 0:16:03Well, he appears to be back in Germany,
0:16:03 > 0:16:06but we can't find exactly where.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11There are even rumours of a court-martial. But we'll find him.
0:16:11 > 0:16:16Now... Here, a possible undercover operative.
0:16:16 > 0:16:23He is currently lecturing at the University here in Berlin. Send for him immediately.
0:16:23 > 0:16:29- Yes.- And, Karl, send this message to Starling.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31Yes, Herr Oberst!
0:16:31 > 0:16:36- Where is Herr Oberst Radl? - In the map room, Herr Admiral.
0:16:40 > 0:16:48- This message has been sent out. Did you originate it!? - I did, Herr Admiral.
0:16:48 > 0:16:52"Very interested in your visitor of 6th November.
0:16:52 > 0:17:00"Would like to drop some friends in to meet him in the hope they might persuade him to return with them."
0:17:00 > 0:17:08You've exceeded your authority! You were told to prepare a study, not embellish a joke!
0:17:08 > 0:17:11Sir, it could be done.
0:17:11 > 0:17:17- In my opinion, it SHOULD be done. - What if Churchill prefers to die?
0:17:17 > 0:17:22What if abduction becomes assassination?
0:17:22 > 0:17:25No-one specified dead or alive.
0:17:25 > 0:17:27God in heaven!
0:17:27 > 0:17:30Kill Churchill, when we've already lost the war!?
0:17:31 > 0:17:34I'm sure you've done a good job, Radl. Very thorough.
0:17:34 > 0:17:39But this "operation" could make the Charge of the Light Brigade
0:17:39 > 0:17:43look like a sensible military exercise!
0:17:43 > 0:17:45Drop it!
0:18:01 > 0:18:03KNOCK
0:18:05 > 0:18:08Herr Oberst...he has arrived.
0:18:21 > 0:18:25- IRISH ACCENT:- Colonel Radl?
0:18:25 > 0:18:33Top o' the morning to you. It's not Irish whiskey, but it'll do to be going on with.
0:18:33 > 0:18:38- Better for you to drink than me. - I've a feeling I'll be needing it.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41- May I?- Ja.
0:18:43 > 0:18:46The last time I was invited up here to Section Three,
0:18:46 > 0:18:49one o' the lads persuaded me to jump out of a Dornier,
0:18:49 > 0:18:545,000 feet above Ireland, in the dark!
0:18:54 > 0:18:56And me with a terrible fear of heights!
0:18:56 > 0:19:02You planning a holiday to England? Brighton's lovely this time o' year.
0:19:05 > 0:19:08Mother of God! What is THAT!?
0:19:08 > 0:19:11They're Russian, Mr Devlin.
0:19:11 > 0:19:17- They're probably the only thing that kept you awake in the snow(!) - Yeah...yeah.
0:19:23 > 0:19:29Now...I had a proposition to put to you, Mr Devlin.
0:19:29 > 0:19:31"Had"?
0:19:38 > 0:19:40Have.
0:19:40 > 0:19:43I'm working, you know, Colonel.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45At the University.
0:19:45 > 0:19:51For a man like you, that must be like a thoroughbred race horse
0:19:51 > 0:19:54finding himself pulling a milk cart.
0:19:54 > 0:19:58You want me to go back to Ireland? Well, I can't do it.
0:19:58 > 0:20:03- I wouldn't last a week...- I don't want you to go back to Ireland.
0:20:03 > 0:20:07Now, you're still a supporter of the Irish Republican Army?
0:20:07 > 0:20:11Soldier of, Colonel. Once in, never out.
0:20:11 > 0:20:14But you're here in Germany. Why?
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I don't like soft target hits.
0:20:16 > 0:20:23I don't want to blow the arms and legs off passers-by.
0:20:23 > 0:20:28My fight is with the British Empire.
0:20:28 > 0:20:34If it's a rabid fanatic you want, they sent you the wrong man.
0:20:34 > 0:20:39Your aim is total victory against England?
0:20:39 > 0:20:44No, that's your aim. MY aim is a united Ireland.
0:20:44 > 0:20:49Either way, it would be necessary for Germany to win the war.
0:20:49 > 0:20:52And pigs might fly, Colonel(!)
0:20:53 > 0:20:59Mr Devlin... I want you to go to England for me.
0:20:59 > 0:21:01Colonel, I barely know you(!)
0:21:01 > 0:21:07To assist in the kidnapping to Germany of Winston Churchill.
0:21:10 > 0:21:15Give me another one o' them Bolshevik firecrackers.
0:21:15 > 0:21:17I think I fell asleep in the snow.
0:21:17 > 0:21:20KNOCK
0:21:20 > 0:21:23- Herr Oberst... - Good evening, Herr Oberst.
0:21:23 > 0:21:28I'm Sturmbandfuehrer Tuberg of the SS.
0:21:28 > 0:21:35Reichsfuehrer Himmler requests you to bring him the entire file of the plan known as "Eagle".
0:21:35 > 0:21:39- When is that to be? - NOW, Herr Oberst.
0:21:42 > 0:21:45You seem nervous, Herr Oberst.
0:21:45 > 0:21:47Please relax.
0:21:53 > 0:21:56May I smoke, Herr Reichsfuehrer?
0:21:56 > 0:21:58No.
0:22:00 > 0:22:05- A masterful job. - Thank you, Herr Reichsfuehrer.
0:22:05 > 0:22:10But there are some people who would say that such an operation
0:22:10 > 0:22:14could make the Charge of the Light Brigade
0:22:14 > 0:22:17look like a sensible military exercise.
0:22:19 > 0:22:22Have you heard that phrase before?
0:22:22 > 0:22:26I don't immediately recall, Herr Reichsfuehrer.
0:22:26 > 0:22:34I know about your plan. I know what is written on every single page,
0:22:34 > 0:22:37even the one you haven't got yet -
0:22:37 > 0:22:42the court-martial of Herr Oberst Steiner and his men.
0:22:44 > 0:22:49The arrogance of this Steiner is dazzling.
0:22:52 > 0:22:57An unusual man, this, eh...this Steiner.
0:22:57 > 0:23:01Intelligent, ruthless, a brilliant soldier,
0:23:01 > 0:23:05but, above all, a romantic fool.
0:23:07 > 0:23:13He threw away EVERYTHING - rank, career, the future.
0:23:15 > 0:23:21He's presently in a penal colony on the island of, eh...Alderney.
0:23:21 > 0:23:26And all for the sake of some little Jewess!
0:23:26 > 0:23:32Do you know he's a veteran of five successful commando raids?
0:23:32 > 0:23:34SIX, I believe.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36Educated in England.
0:23:36 > 0:23:40He speaks the language perfectly.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43The ideal man for the job, eh?
0:23:43 > 0:23:45If you think so, Reichsfuehrer.
0:23:45 > 0:23:51And so do you. But the Herr Admiral, Canaris, doesn't think so.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54My loyalty to Herr Admiral...
0:23:54 > 0:24:00..is exceeded only by your loyalty to the Fuehrer. Isn't that so?
0:24:02 > 0:24:04I'm sure of it...
0:24:05 > 0:24:11Now, this Churchill business - our Fuehrer wants it seen through.
0:24:12 > 0:24:16You have considerable autonomy
0:24:16 > 0:24:19in running your office.
0:24:19 > 0:24:24Use it to prevent Canaris from knowing what's going on.
0:24:24 > 0:24:30What kind of authority would I have to carry such a project through?
0:24:47 > 0:24:50Aloud, if you please.
0:24:55 > 0:25:02"Oberst Radl is acting under my personal orders on a matter of great importance to the Reich.
0:25:02 > 0:25:05"All military and civil personnel
0:25:05 > 0:25:09"will assist him in any way
0:25:09 > 0:25:14"that Oberst Radl sees fit to demand. Adolf Hitler."
0:25:16 > 0:25:22So, you see, Radl... under the terms of that document,
0:25:22 > 0:25:28- even- I- find myself under your personal command.
0:25:30 > 0:25:35Good luck. I can only envy you your inevitable success.
0:25:35 > 0:25:38Heil Hitler.
0:25:38 > 0:25:39Heil Hitler.
0:26:41 > 0:26:46Major Neuhoff, Commandant of the Island of Alderney. A pleasure, Herr Oberst...
0:26:46 > 0:26:48Read this, please.
0:26:55 > 0:26:58I see! What do you wish of me...?
0:26:58 > 0:27:04You have a penal unit - Steiner and 29 men. It terminates NOW.
0:27:04 > 0:27:07There are only 18 now...
0:27:47 > 0:27:54The men are required to ride the torpedoes into enemy shipping.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59- The torpedoes detach, of course? - Of course.- Most of the time (!)
0:27:59 > 0:28:04Burial detail - usual letters of commendation.
0:28:04 > 0:28:08- Thank you, Herr Neuhoff. - But I...- Thank you!
0:28:24 > 0:28:26Herr Steiner?
0:28:26 > 0:28:29Yes, I'm Steiner. What is it?
0:28:31 > 0:28:32My name is Radl.
0:28:35 > 0:28:40Well, what is it? I have two men to bury and no office to make small talk in.
0:28:52 > 0:29:00Your credentials are hopelessly impeccable, Herr Oberst. What can I do for you?
0:29:00 > 0:29:05Lead a raid to England to kidnap Churchill.
0:29:07 > 0:29:13- You don't seem very impressed. - I haven't seen your plan yet.
0:29:13 > 0:29:15Here.
0:29:33 > 0:29:38While he makes his decision, I'm going to that pub up there.
0:29:38 > 0:29:43The only time this plan makes any sense to ME is when I'm drunk.
0:30:06 > 0:30:10- You are in command here? - Oberlieutenant Koenig, Oberst.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14These configurations seem somewhat abnormal for an E-Boat.
0:30:14 > 0:30:20She's actually a converted captured British MTB, Herr Oberst.
0:30:20 > 0:30:22Sir.
0:30:26 > 0:30:29Do you know the east coast of England?
0:30:29 > 0:30:33For five years, I was first mate on a cargo ship out of England.
0:31:19 > 0:31:22This could work, you know.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26It's the Fuehrer's direct order.
0:31:26 > 0:31:32I stood opposite Adolf once, when he gave me this...
0:31:32 > 0:31:35Oh, I forgot. One of those.
0:31:35 > 0:31:41- You're a German officer. You have no choice.- Of course I do.
0:31:41 > 0:31:43I'm going to die here anyway.
0:31:43 > 0:31:49You forget, Radl, that I am under suspended sentence of death.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50Officially disgraced.
0:31:53 > 0:31:58I do not retain my rank, only my authority,
0:31:58 > 0:32:04because of the...peculiar circumstances of this job.
0:32:04 > 0:32:06I offer you reinstatement of rank
0:32:06 > 0:32:09and complete vindication for you and your men.
0:32:10 > 0:32:13My men need no vindication.
0:32:13 > 0:32:17- You said it could be done.- Maybe.
0:32:17 > 0:32:25Of all the world's leaders, Churchill is probably the least protected...unlike the Fuehrer.
0:32:25 > 0:32:32Is thumbing your nose at the Fuehrer more important to you than the lives of your men?
0:32:32 > 0:32:3631 of you a few weeks ago. How many left?
0:32:41 > 0:32:4316.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46You owe them this chance to live.
0:32:51 > 0:32:54Or to die in England instead(!)
0:32:59 > 0:33:03I will put it to my men. They are entitled to know.
0:33:05 > 0:33:10Only the destination for now. Revealing the target would be going too far.
0:33:10 > 0:33:12I will put it to my men.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16Steiner...
0:33:17 > 0:33:22It would make them think about a negotiated peace. Hmm?
0:33:24 > 0:33:27A negotiated peace?
0:33:28 > 0:33:31I will put that to my men also.
0:33:34 > 0:33:41God bless all here. Give us a glass of your strongest, please.
0:33:41 > 0:33:45- So that's how the Gestapo dresses in Berlin these days.- Gestapo...?
0:33:45 > 0:33:48Drink?
0:34:09 > 0:34:11I haven't sucked my thumb in years.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Would you be kind enough to do it for me?
0:34:15 > 0:34:19- Sir?- Suck it!
0:34:20 > 0:34:25Now, about your Mr...Devlin?
0:34:25 > 0:34:28A man of considerable resource and guile, I assure you.
0:34:35 > 0:34:40Tell me, Mr Devlin, just why are you coming along?
0:34:40 > 0:34:43Can't you tell? I'm the last of the world's great adventurers!
0:34:50 > 0:34:56Ooohhh! Oh, sweet Mary, Mother of God!
0:34:58 > 0:35:01They're a tough bunch o' lads.
0:35:02 > 0:35:09- What did he say?- He insisted on the consent of his men. - I'm not surprised!
0:35:09 > 0:35:17- If they agree, you leave tonight. - Tonight!?- Ja, to southern Ireland. - But what about my papers and...?
0:35:17 > 0:35:19They will be provided.
0:35:19 > 0:35:26Starling's found you a job as a marsh warden, whatever that is.
0:35:26 > 0:35:28What about the money?
0:35:28 > 0:35:31- £10,000...- I asked for £20,000!
0:35:31 > 0:35:35£10,000 has been deposited in Geneva, as per instructions.
0:35:35 > 0:35:42- 10,000 more on completion of the mission- You think I'd sell out?
0:35:42 > 0:35:49- It's just that you've been so expensive to buy. - LOUD CHEERING
0:36:09 > 0:36:12You're jumping in those clothes!?
0:36:12 > 0:36:20I might look a bit silly going down, but I'll be a hell of a lot safer when I land.
0:36:20 > 0:36:25There's an old poem which, freely translated from the Irish, says,
0:36:25 > 0:36:28"I realised fear one morning,
0:36:28 > 0:36:30"to the blare of the fox hunters' sound.
0:36:30 > 0:36:34"When they're all chasing after the poor bloody fox,
0:36:34 > 0:36:37"It's safer to be dressed like a hound."
0:36:37 > 0:36:43- You're quite a literary man. - I'm a literary genius!
0:36:43 > 0:36:51- Your complete instructions.- All of it? Everything? No cyanide pill?
0:36:51 > 0:36:56I couldn't think of a situation which would make you take one.
0:36:59 > 0:37:00FEROCIOUS BARK
0:37:00 > 0:37:04HIGH-PITCHED WHISTLE
0:37:06 > 0:37:10A little trick I learned from an uncle in Belfast.
0:37:10 > 0:37:15In the Middle Ages, they'd have burned you for that.
0:37:15 > 0:37:18Goodbye, Mr Devlin. I'll see you in England.
0:37:18 > 0:37:21I'll be there.
0:37:28 > 0:37:31How do I jump out o' this thing?
0:37:31 > 0:37:36Release your safety belt. I turn the plane upside-down, you drop out.
0:37:38 > 0:37:44The signature on that authorisation could just be a clever forgery!
0:37:44 > 0:37:48Fly to Berchtesgaden and ask him!
0:37:48 > 0:37:51Oh, let's not bother the man!
0:39:27 > 0:39:30Mrs Joanna Grey?
0:39:30 > 0:39:33That's right.
0:39:33 > 0:39:39Liam Devlin. I could do with a cup of tea. It was a hell of a journey.
0:39:44 > 0:39:46Come inside.
0:40:13 > 0:40:16SNARLING
0:40:16 > 0:40:18WHISTLES
0:40:26 > 0:40:31- That's a neat trick.- Your wolfhound and me are both Irish.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35- What's her name?- Patch.- Patch.
0:40:47 > 0:40:50Sit down, Mr Devlin.
0:40:51 > 0:40:54It's lovely, your countryside.
0:40:56 > 0:40:58You'd hardly know there was a war.
0:41:00 > 0:41:05They lack the discipline the Fuehrer has brought to Germany.
0:41:05 > 0:41:12- You'll need these papers.- I'll give you the ones they gave me.
0:41:12 > 0:41:18Sir Henry is away. Only the servants are in the manor house.
0:41:18 > 0:41:24- Who else knows Churchill will be here?- Only Father Verecker.
0:41:24 > 0:41:28Your duties will be mainly gamekeeping.
0:41:28 > 0:41:36I've got you a motor-bike and you can have this shotgun. It is loaded.
0:41:36 > 0:41:38You know the way to the cottage?
0:41:38 > 0:41:42I go down the road, there's a pub on me right,
0:41:42 > 0:41:46through the manor house gates and it's at the end of the lane.
0:41:46 > 0:41:48Here's the keys.
0:41:48 > 0:41:50By the way, petrol for the motorbike -
0:41:50 > 0:41:54the ration allowance is only three gallons a month.
0:41:54 > 0:41:57I hope I won't be here that long.
0:41:58 > 0:42:01- Good day to you.- Good morning.
0:42:06 > 0:42:09Good day to you, Colleen.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26- God save the good work. - Watch your back!- My back!?
0:42:26 > 0:42:31- Mr Devlin.- MR Devlin, is it? - Mrs Grey told us all about you
0:42:31 > 0:42:36- at the last WVS meeting.- You're with Woman's Voluntary Service?
0:42:38 > 0:42:41I help out when I have the time.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Sort of...servicing the troops?
0:42:45 > 0:42:51- I don't mind.- Miss, I do believe you're a little bit of a tease.
0:42:51 > 0:42:54Children tease, Mr Devlin. I'm almost 19.
0:42:54 > 0:42:56Go on!
0:43:16 > 0:43:22God bless all here. Can I have a glass of your strongest, please.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24- I'm George Wilde.- Liam Devlin,
0:43:24 > 0:43:28- marsh warden.- That's Arthur Seymour.
0:43:28 > 0:43:31By the fire is Laker Armsby.
0:43:31 > 0:43:35- Will you join me in a drink?- A pint of bitter wouldn't be a burden.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37- Sir?- I buys me own!
0:43:37 > 0:43:40Coming here all grand, with a shotgun and your motorbike.
0:43:40 > 0:43:43Buying drinks for us who's worked the estate for years
0:43:43 > 0:43:47- for less than he gets! - It must be my good looks!
0:43:47 > 0:43:51Make fun of me, boy, and I'll squash you like a slug.
0:43:51 > 0:43:52Arthur!
0:43:52 > 0:43:58You walk soft around here! And you stay away from Molly Prior!
0:43:58 > 0:44:02If I've caused offence, I'm sorry.
0:44:02 > 0:44:04Arthur, now get out!
0:44:04 > 0:44:09Today, I leave, boy. But from now on, when YOU see ME, you leave!
0:44:18 > 0:44:201/9d, please.
0:45:13 > 0:45:16- Good day to you, Father. - Oh, good afternoon.
0:45:16 > 0:45:23- Liam Devlin. I'm Sir Henry's new marsh warden. - Oh, I'm Father Verecker.
0:45:23 > 0:45:29This is my sister, Pamela. She's on a weekend leave.
0:45:29 > 0:45:31- How do you do?- How do you do?
0:45:31 > 0:45:36- I'll be back for tea. Bye.- Bye.
0:45:36 > 0:45:41We have a small congregation here. I look forward to your adding to it.
0:45:41 > 0:45:44- You ARE Catholic?- Oh, yes, Father.
0:45:44 > 0:45:46Did you come for Confession?
0:45:46 > 0:45:51Father, I'm afraid this poor soul is well past redemption.
0:45:51 > 0:45:54God forgive me, but I could do with a spicy revelation
0:45:54 > 0:45:56every now and then!
0:45:56 > 0:46:03- And remember, "The last shall be the first".- Then I'm assured a place at the head of the line!
0:46:15 > 0:46:16Where did you find this!?
0:46:18 > 0:46:21A DC3, captured almost intact.
0:47:01 > 0:47:03- Gericke?- Herr Oberst?
0:47:03 > 0:47:06- Will it be ready in time?- Yes, sir.
0:48:06 > 0:48:08Where did she go, eh?
0:48:08 > 0:48:13- HORSE SNORTS - All right, my friend.
0:48:39 > 0:48:41What kept you?
0:48:42 > 0:48:46What KEPT me?! Why, you little devil!
0:48:49 > 0:48:53- God, I'll know you till the crack o' Doomsday!- What does that mean!?
0:48:53 > 0:48:56It's a saying they have in Ireland.
0:48:56 > 0:48:59- Do you smoke?- No.- Good for you.
0:48:59 > 0:49:04They stunt your growth, and you with your green years ahead of you.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07Almost 19, eh?
0:49:07 > 0:49:10- What month?- February.
0:49:11 > 0:49:15- 25th?- 22nd.
0:49:15 > 0:49:19But I was right, though, that you're a little fish.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22You and me should get along well,
0:49:22 > 0:49:26me being a Scorpio. Never marry a Virgo, though.
0:49:26 > 0:49:32- I've a hunch Arthur is a Virgo. Watch it with him.- Arthur...?
0:49:32 > 0:49:37- Arthur Seymour!? Are you crazy? - No, but I think he is.
0:49:37 > 0:49:45Pure, clean, virtuous... and not very hot, that's a Virgo.
0:49:45 > 0:49:47Are you laughing at me?!
0:49:47 > 0:49:51What else would you have me do with you, Molly Prior?
0:49:51 > 0:49:55- Don't answer that. - How do you know my name?
0:49:55 > 0:50:02- George Wilde told me in the pub. - I see. And Arthur, was he there? - You could say that.
0:50:03 > 0:50:07I get the feeling he looks upon you as his personal property.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11He can go to hell! I belong to no man!
0:50:11 > 0:50:12You know your nose turns up?
0:50:12 > 0:50:15And when you're angry, your mouth turns down.
0:50:15 > 0:50:19I'm sure you could find a hundred things wrong with me, Mr Devlin.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22A thousand. But you wouldn't throw me out of your bed
0:50:22 > 0:50:24on a wet Saturday night, I'm sure.
0:50:24 > 0:50:30- But that's men for you. Anything's better than nothing!- Wait! Wait!
0:50:30 > 0:50:33You don't know the first thing about me,
0:50:33 > 0:50:35because if you did,
0:50:35 > 0:50:40you'd know that I much prefer a warm afternoon under the pines
0:50:40 > 0:50:42to a wet Saturday night any day.
0:50:43 > 0:50:48The sand has a terrible way of getting where it shouldn't do.
0:50:55 > 0:51:00Now get out of here, before I let my mad passion run away with me!
0:51:00 > 0:51:02Go on!
0:51:16 > 0:51:22They told me all Irishmen were mad! Will you be at Mass on Sunday...?
0:51:22 > 0:51:28- Do I look like I will? - Yes, I think you do.
0:51:38 > 0:51:41Oh, Devlin, you bloody idiot!
0:51:41 > 0:51:43You never learn!
0:51:44 > 0:51:47You never bloody learn.
0:51:47 > 0:51:52Himmler sends personal wishes for success from the Fuehrer himself.
0:51:53 > 0:51:56You've altered the parachutes. Why?
0:51:56 > 0:52:03Unfortunately, we have high tide when we drop, so we may land in the surf.
0:52:03 > 0:52:08These slots enable us to guide the 'chutes.
0:52:08 > 0:52:12The landing velocity is high, but we have no choice.
0:52:14 > 0:52:19- I assume they've been tested? - Jawohl, Oberst.
0:52:31 > 0:52:36I have one request... a demand, actually.
0:52:36 > 0:52:38Blackmail at this point, hm?
0:52:39 > 0:52:45We are not spies, and we will not be treated as such by the British,
0:52:45 > 0:52:47if anything goes wrong.
0:52:47 > 0:52:52We will wear our own uniforms under the Polish outfits,
0:52:52 > 0:52:57and, if necessary, we will fight and die as what we are -
0:52:57 > 0:52:59German paratroopers.
0:53:02 > 0:53:07Max, it is not a subject for negotiation.
0:53:08 > 0:53:12- In that case, agreed.- Thank you.
0:53:28 > 0:53:31Oh, hello, Liam.
0:53:31 > 0:53:35My compliments on the dress.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43- Why pick on me...? - Because you're lovely,
0:53:43 > 0:53:46because you could never fall in love with me.
0:53:46 > 0:53:48But I might, just for spite.
0:53:48 > 0:53:53It wouldn't matter. I could never fall in love with you.
0:53:53 > 0:54:00I'm no good for you at all. I tell you that cos it's the truth.
0:54:00 > 0:54:01I'm here!
0:54:01 > 0:54:05It's YOUR turn to leave!
0:54:05 > 0:54:07(Oh, God...!)

0:54:21 > 0:54:25Arthur, did I ever tell you about my uncle in Belfast?
0:54:28 > 0:54:30No, of course I didn't.
0:54:36 > 0:54:38He earned his living as a bare-knuckle boxer.
0:54:43 > 0:54:46It's all right, Father. I'm just telling him about the Holy Trinity.
0:54:47 > 0:54:49Do you know it?
0:54:51 > 0:54:52Footwork...
0:54:52 > 0:54:54timing and hitting!
0:55:00 > 0:55:02And a little bit of dirty work!
0:55:04 > 0:55:09Learn these, my uncle said, and you'll inherit the earth.
0:55:09 > 0:55:11LIAM!
0:55:26 > 0:55:30Well, Arthur, looks like he bought you a drink after all!
0:56:30 > 0:56:33Perfect! Which way is England(?)
0:56:42 > 0:56:45You! Tell Oberst Radl who you are.
0:56:45 > 0:56:49Kapral Andrej Jankowski, Pulkownicu.
0:56:49 > 0:56:55- You!- Kapral Stanislaw Kunickski, Pulkownicu...as you very well know!
0:56:55 > 0:56:58Get back in line!
0:57:04 > 0:57:09GIVES COMMAND IN POLISH
0:57:16 > 0:57:19I'm very much impressed.
0:57:20 > 0:57:24You know, it all started as a joke.
0:57:24 > 0:57:29I hope that Winston Churchill appreciates our sense of humour.
0:57:30 > 0:57:34- Good luck, Steiner. - Thank you, Max.

0:58:43 > 0:58:46'What are conditions over the nest?'
0:58:46 > 0:58:50- Visibility good. Cloud cover low. Wind freshening.- 'Eagle, out.'

0:59:29 > 0:59:34There's two army trucks outside, without numbers on...YET.
0:59:34 > 0:59:37This - German!
0:59:37 > 0:59:40It's worse.
0:59:40 > 0:59:43Arthur, if you love me, you won't say a word...
0:59:43 > 0:59:45I'll have him arrested within the hour!
0:59:45 > 0:59:48I've never meant to tease you.

1:02:35 > 1:02:38- Why?- Because I'm hoping it's not HIM.
1:02:40 > 1:02:43It isn't. I want him buried.
1:02:49 > 1:02:54- Brandt, bring two men! - Jawohl, Herr Oberst!
1:03:11 > 1:03:17Reichsfuehrer, I have the honour to announce...the Eagle has landed.
1:03:18 > 1:03:21I am very pleased to hear it.
1:03:21 > 1:03:24I return to Alderney shortly.
1:03:24 > 1:03:28I would be honoured if you would tell our Fuehrer.
1:03:28 > 1:03:31I will tell the Fuehrer nothing.
1:03:31 > 1:03:38For a variety of reasons, I would prefer this to come... as a surprise to him.
1:03:38 > 1:03:44- How much of a surprise could it be?- You have the letter?
1:03:47 > 1:03:55These are difficult times, Herr Oberst. The destiny of Germany rests on his shoulders.
1:03:55 > 1:04:00It is essential we avail ourselves of this opportunity to please him.
1:04:03 > 1:04:07We are all in Oberst Steiner's hands now.
1:04:25 > 1:04:32- Hello, Grandfather.- Foreigners? - Polish. Corporal Kunickski.
1:04:35 > 1:04:37Kunickski? That's not YOUR fault.

1:05:34 > 1:05:36Oh, please, don't stop.
1:05:36 > 1:05:44My apologies, Father. I am Corporal Andrej Jankowski. I was sent to find you.
1:05:44 > 1:05:50You play marvellously. Bach needs to be played well.
1:05:50 > 1:05:55I remember it with frustration every time I take that seat.
1:05:55 > 1:05:57I'm sorry, Father, my Colonel...
1:06:19 > 1:06:22- Father Verecker, is it?- Yes.
1:06:22 > 1:06:30- Colonel Miller, assigned to command the Independent Polish Parachute Unit.- What can I do for you?
1:06:30 > 1:06:35Well, we're on an exercise. I only have a handful of my men here. The rest are scattered over Norfolk.
1:06:35 > 1:06:37There IS a rendezvous tomorrow,
1:06:37 > 1:06:42but I'd like to take these chaps on manoeuvres through the village.
1:06:42 > 1:06:45If that wouldn't be too much of a burden for you?
1:06:45 > 1:06:48We could do with some excitement.
1:06:48 > 1:06:52I'm sure that the villagers will help.
1:06:52 > 1:06:55Well, I shall be counting on...
1:06:58 > 1:07:00..counting on that, Father.
1:07:04 > 1:07:09Phillip, this is Captain Harry Clark of the American Rangers.
1:07:09 > 1:07:13- How do you do?- My sister's told me about you.
1:07:13 > 1:07:19- Pamela, this is Colonel Miller. My sister, Pamela.- How do you do?
1:07:19 > 1:07:23- And Captain Clark. - Colonel.- Captain.
1:07:23 > 1:07:27- Are you staying for tea? - I'm sorry. I must go, Father.
1:07:30 > 1:07:32We had no idea you guys were here.
1:07:32 > 1:07:35YOU'RE quite a surprise to OUR group.
1:07:38 > 1:07:44- Free Polish Paratroopers, huh?- Yes. - Listen, we've got some Polish guys.
1:07:44 > 1:07:50- Maybe you'd like to meet them? - Maybe later. Where are you staying?
1:07:50 > 1:07:53Eight miles away, at Meltham House.
1:07:53 > 1:07:58- What strength are you? - We're just a company.
1:07:58 > 1:08:05- Meltham House. I'll remember that. Miss Verecker... Father, thank you. - Not at all.- Captain.
1:08:07 > 1:08:13- Have the men hang on by the truck. - ORDERS ARE SHOUTED IN POLISH
1:08:14 > 1:08:19Let's see the rest of the village. Don't drive too slowly...
1:08:19 > 1:08:23..and on the left-hand side of the road.
1:08:31 > 1:08:34- Foreigners. Poles.- And Yanks, too.
1:08:34 > 1:08:39- And Irish.- Get back in your foxhole, Laker. You're being invaded.
1:09:09 > 1:09:14A WOLF-WHISTLE Smart uniform, Captain(!)
1:09:14 > 1:09:17Moss, mind your own business.
1:09:17 > 1:09:23- Is the new outfit arriving? - No, sir. He wants to see you.
1:09:31 > 1:09:33Sir!
1:09:33 > 1:09:36Eight years...
1:09:36 > 1:09:39Eight years in the National Guard, every other weekend.
1:09:41 > 1:09:45Two weeks a year up to my ass in swamp water. And those mosquitoes!
1:09:45 > 1:09:48But I made it. I got my rank.
1:09:48 > 1:09:54I got my Command. The best goddamn outfit a man could hope to have!
1:09:54 > 1:09:5711 weeks' training for this mission.
1:09:57 > 1:10:00In two days, we hit the beach!
1:10:00 > 1:10:05My last chance to get into action before it's all over.
1:10:05 > 1:10:07And now THIS!
1:10:07 > 1:10:09You won't be leading us in, sir?
1:10:09 > 1:10:10Goddamit, they're sending me home!
1:10:13 > 1:10:19Read this! Go ahead... Top line! Pitts, Clarence E. 016838621.
1:10:19 > 1:10:23Re-assignment - Fort Benning, Georgia.
1:10:23 > 1:10:28Air transportation, Priority 2. They're not even in a hurry!
1:10:28 > 1:10:31Can't you do anything, Colonel?
1:10:31 > 1:10:39Look at the signatures on it! Not one of those men saw combat! Not one!
1:10:41 > 1:10:44What do you want? Why are you here?
1:10:44 > 1:10:46Sir!
1:10:46 > 1:10:52Fort Benning, Georgia(!) I could have been in on the finish!
1:10:52 > 1:10:55Wait till my daddy hears about it!
1:10:59 > 1:11:01COMMANDS SHOUTED IN POLISH
1:11:11 > 1:11:17Keep up this foolishness for a while, Hans, then gradually establish the roadblocks.
1:11:17 > 1:11:20Slowly. Two men at a time.
1:11:20 > 1:11:24- Yes, that's coming along nicely! - Thank you, sir.
1:11:30 > 1:11:34- Very impressive.- Thank you, Father.
1:11:34 > 1:11:39We have to head for the marshes soon. Do you know of anyone...?
1:11:39 > 1:11:43Colonel, I am the official marsh warden.
1:11:43 > 1:11:48- Liam Devlin at your service. - What luck.- Colonel...
1:11:48 > 1:11:54I'm Mrs Grey. As Mr Devlin has been in my employ for less than two days,
1:11:54 > 1:11:59I might suggest a third person along to ensure we don't lose you both.
1:11:59 > 1:12:01I don't suppose I could impose...?
1:12:01 > 1:12:04I'd be delighted.
1:12:04 > 1:12:07- Why don't we, eh...? - Yes, please do.
1:12:11 > 1:12:14- Here.- I'll get in the back.
1:12:48 > 1:12:52- Any further news of Churchill? - Yes, the party's left King's Lynn.
1:12:52 > 1:12:57In the house, is there another escape route?
1:12:57 > 1:12:59There as an entrance at the rear, another opposite the church.
1:13:02 > 1:13:04Let's hope it won't be necessary.
1:13:05 > 1:13:09What a lovely day for fantasies.
1:13:09 > 1:13:15The Colonel's - that he'll be able to pull this thing off.
1:13:15 > 1:13:19Mine - a cup of tea and a country girl.
1:13:19 > 1:13:25And Mrs Grey's - that she'll still be asked to be Lady Willoughby.
1:13:25 > 1:13:27Sir Henry is a pleasant dullard.
1:13:27 > 1:13:32He and my late husband were partners in a South African venture.
1:13:32 > 1:13:38South African - that's what I can hear in your voice, Afrikaans.
1:13:38 > 1:13:45My mother... She and my sister died there, in a British concentration camp.
1:13:45 > 1:13:49Or did you think the Nazis invented them?
1:13:49 > 1:13:53Revenge - a classic motive. I congratulate you.
1:13:53 > 1:13:56Do YOU have a motive, Mr Devlin?
1:13:56 > 1:13:57Regrettably, no.
1:13:59 > 1:14:05So, if someone else had asked you to abduct Adolf Hitler,
1:14:05 > 1:14:08you would be in Berlin right now?
1:14:08 > 1:14:13If all this lunacy doesn't work out, Colonel, that's not a bad idea.
1:14:13 > 1:14:14Not a bad idea at all.
1:14:21 > 1:14:25SHOUTS IN POLISH
1:14:35 > 1:14:36Thank you, Colonel.
1:14:36 > 1:14:43- Can I buy you a drink, Colonel? - Not right now.- Mrs Grey?- No.
1:14:43 > 1:14:48- Then, I'll be off. I hope I've been of help.- You have.
1:14:48 > 1:14:51Perhaps we'll meet later...in the marsh.
1:14:51 > 1:14:54It's a very large marsh, Colonel.
1:14:54 > 1:14:59Good luck with your manoeuvres. Success. Ma'am.
1:15:08 > 1:15:10A SHOUT IN POLISH >
1:15:10 > 1:15:12SHE SCREAMS
1:15:35 > 1:15:37Stop the wheel!
1:15:37 > 1:15:38Get his body off the wheel.
1:15:40 > 1:15:44- Father, look at that uniform! - It's a German.
1:15:48 > 1:15:53It's the Ger... My God, YOU'RE a German.
1:15:53 > 1:15:55More bloody foreigners.
1:15:55 > 1:16:01- Altman, the switchboard.- Jawohl! - Get these people into the church!
1:16:03 > 1:16:09Colonel, I know what you're doing. You won't stand a chance.
1:16:09 > 1:16:12Well, I insist on giving it a try!
1:16:12 > 1:16:18- Hans, get the men in position. Don't let anyone out of the village. - Jawohl.
1:16:34 > 1:16:37Molly...what is it?
1:16:39 > 1:16:41I must see Father.
1:16:43 > 1:16:46- I have to talk to him. - Yes, of course you can.
1:16:46 > 1:16:50Something terrible has happened.
1:16:50 > 1:16:53It's all right. Stay here.
1:16:53 > 1:16:55I'll get Phillip now.
1:17:10 > 1:17:13Molly! Come with me!
1:17:48 > 1:17:54Mr and Mrs Wilde, will you take a seat, please?
1:17:54 > 1:17:57Mr Laker, sit over there.
1:18:20 > 1:18:22This door is locked. Why?
1:18:22 > 1:18:28It's the Sacristy. It's where I keep the church records and my vestments.
1:18:28 > 1:18:36- The key is at my house. I'll go and fetch it if you like. - That won't be necessary.
1:18:36 > 1:18:42So, you intend to assasinate Mr Churchill as he passes through here today?
1:18:42 > 1:18:45What an astonishing notion.
1:18:45 > 1:18:49Give it up. There's no surprise left.
1:18:49 > 1:18:52Perhaps just ONE surprise left, Father...
1:18:52 > 1:18:54..your good Lord willing.
1:19:01 > 1:19:07God, these are Germans. I must tell... I must tell Harry.
1:19:07 > 1:19:12Oh, Phillip's probably got the keys to his car.
1:19:12 > 1:19:16Mrs Grey's got one, and Liam's got his bike.
1:19:16 > 1:19:19Oh, good! Don't worry, Molly.
1:19:19 > 1:19:24Go to Liam, and then go and tell Captain Clark what's happened.
1:19:24 > 1:19:27- But there must be...- Molly! - I'll try and find him.
1:19:33 > 1:19:40At times like these, there's very little left but prayer, and it frequently helps.
1:20:25 > 1:20:28What do you think our chances are?
1:20:28 > 1:20:31The E-boat is off the coast, Hans.
1:20:31 > 1:20:35Churchill is on schedule. Anything is possible.
1:20:57 > 1:20:59Joanna! Joanna!
1:20:59 > 1:21:05HAMMERING ON DOOR I'm coming! I'm coming!
1:21:06 > 1:21:10- Oh, Joanna...! - What's happened?
1:21:10 > 1:21:16Colonel Miller and his men, they're Germans!
1:21:16 > 1:21:21They've got the villagers. We must tell the Rangers!
1:21:21 > 1:21:24- Does anybody else know?- No. - I'll get my car keys.
1:22:00 > 1:22:07- What kept you?- I killed Arthur. - Did you tell anybody about it?
1:22:07 > 1:22:12- Are you a traitor? - I don't betray what I believe in.
1:22:12 > 1:22:17Your bloody Germans have locked everyone in the church. They're going to kill Churchill.
1:22:17 > 1:22:19You're a bloody traitor!
1:22:19 > 1:22:23Only they don't stand a chance, because Pamela's gone for the Rangers!
1:22:24 > 1:22:27Don't try and run!
1:22:27 > 1:22:32Run away?! Don't you know me better than that?
1:22:32 > 1:22:35Do you think I could leave them in the lurch?
1:22:37 > 1:22:43I wrote you a letter. Here it is, for what it's worth.
1:22:43 > 1:22:46It's on the table, if you're interested.
1:22:57 > 1:23:01A BADLY-TUNED RADIO SIGNAL
1:23:05 > 1:23:09'This is Albatross. This is Albatross'
1:23:31 > 1:23:38Pamela knows everything. She's gone to Meltham House, for the Rangers. I shot at her. I'm sure I hit her.
1:23:40 > 1:23:42No matter what the reason...
1:23:45 > 1:23:49No matter how deeply felt the cause...
1:23:49 > 1:23:51You lived with us, Joanna.
1:23:51 > 1:23:54You accepted our admiration...
1:23:56 > 1:23:59..our kindness...and our trust.
1:23:59 > 1:24:04May God grant you time to relive this moment in shame!
1:24:25 > 1:24:29Are you able to communicate with the E-boat?
1:24:32 > 1:24:34Tell them to go to Position One immediately.
1:24:36 > 1:24:40- This really is a beautiful spot, you know.- Yes.
1:24:49 > 1:24:55I understand, Mrs Grey. No matter how you feel about the British,
1:24:55 > 1:24:57you must hate to leave here.
1:24:57 > 1:25:00That's just it, Colonel.
1:25:00 > 1:25:05Until this moment, in spite of all I've set in motion,
1:25:05 > 1:25:08I never actually believed I'd have to go.
1:25:20 > 1:25:25- What the hell's goin' on, Haley? - Dunno. The Colonel said, "Wait".
1:25:27 > 1:25:34Your girl's OK, Clark. She's in hospital. She took a bullet from an enemy agent named Grey.
1:25:34 > 1:25:40Those Poles you met are Krauts. They're here to kill Churchill.
1:25:40 > 1:25:46- Churchill's left King's Lynn... - Have you notified the War Office? - That'll take too long.
1:25:46 > 1:25:50- If YOU don't notify the War Office, - I- will...sir.
1:25:52 > 1:25:55Moss, get a hold of the War Office.
1:25:55 > 1:26:01If anything happens to Churchill because you're late, this country will swing you from Big Ben.
1:26:06 > 1:26:07Cancel that call, Moss.
1:26:26 > 1:26:28- Put the windshield down, Haley. - Yes, sir!
1:26:31 > 1:26:35- Give me a handful of those grenades.- Yes, sir.
1:26:37 > 1:26:40- Sergeant!- Yes, sir. - How're you doin'?- Fine, sir.
1:26:44 > 1:26:45- Where are you from?- Omaha, sir.
1:26:45 > 1:26:53By this time next year, pigeons are going to be crappin' on statues of you all over Nebraska!
1:26:56 > 1:26:58All right.
1:26:59 > 1:27:01Move ahead.
1:27:03 > 1:27:04OK!
1:27:28 > 1:27:32CONVERSATION INAUDIBLE
1:27:53 > 1:27:56- Did you spot anything, sir? - No. Hang on to this, Lieutenant.
1:27:58 > 1:28:03- I think I can take this place without firing a single round. - Yes, sir.- Get out, Haley!
1:28:16 > 1:28:18Well, this looks like it.
1:29:06 > 1:29:11This is Colonel Clarence E Pitts, United States Army!
1:29:11 > 1:29:16You are surrounded. Send out your Commanding Officer!
1:29:24 > 1:29:28- Do you speak English?- Yes.
1:29:30 > 1:29:37- I'll give you five minutes to lay down your arms and surrender your hostages. Do you understand?- Yes.
1:29:39 > 1:29:41- Where's your Commanding Officer? - Yes.
1:29:41 > 1:29:44Are you makin' fun of me, soldier?
1:29:46 > 1:29:48Well, goddammit!
1:29:59 > 1:30:04Goddamn Krauts think they're going to kick Clarence E Pitts around...
1:30:04 > 1:30:06I'll blow their asses outta there!
1:30:20 > 1:30:23Delta Two, to Mallory.
1:30:23 > 1:30:25'Where are you, Mallory?
1:30:25 > 1:30:27'Mallory, where are you?'
1:30:27 > 1:30:30This is Mallory. We're all set.
1:30:30 > 1:30:34- Stand by. Becker...? - Ready, Colonel.
1:30:34 > 1:30:37Stand by. We're going to move in!
1:30:39 > 1:30:41Come on, we're movin' out!
1:30:47 > 1:30:50Shouldn't we look the place over?
1:30:50 > 1:30:54And have men shot to find out somethin' I already know?!
1:30:54 > 1:31:00There are a lot of places for an ambush, sir. Plus that church is full of civilians.
1:31:00 > 1:31:05You question one more of my orders, and I'm going to bust your ass down to Private!
1:31:05 > 1:31:07Yes, sir.
1:31:14 > 1:31:16Go, Beck! Go, Mallory!
1:32:03 > 1:32:06Get out! Come on, get down!
1:32:42 > 1:32:44Get a missile for the bazooka.
1:32:59 > 1:33:01Beck! Come in, Beck!
1:33:01 > 1:33:06Beck here. We're gettin' fire from all round.
1:33:06 > 1:33:11- There are four dead and we're pinned down.- Four dead?!
1:33:11 > 1:33:15This is Frazier, Colonel. We got three dead.
1:33:15 > 1:33:20Pull yourself together. Re-group. Do something, Frazier!
1:33:20 > 1:33:22Re-group(?)
1:33:22 > 1:33:26This is Mallory. I got that truck, with the bazooka.
1:33:26 > 1:33:29A truck! What do they want, a medal(?)
1:33:31 > 1:33:32Jake!
1:34:34 > 1:34:36MOSS: Frazier radioed this in, sir.
1:34:40 > 1:34:43Ohhh, Holy...!
1:34:44 > 1:34:47- Did you get the Colonel?- No, sir.
1:34:49 > 1:34:51I've got the whole outfit ready to move.
1:34:54 > 1:34:59Colonel Pitts is a man of limited combat experience.
1:34:59 > 1:35:02- Apparently no longer.- Nope.
1:35:02 > 1:35:06Major Corcoran here. We have an incident involving Empire...
1:35:14 > 1:35:18I'm going to go up on the second floor to find out where we are.
1:35:18 > 1:35:21Give me those binoculars. Fix that flat tyre.
1:35:26 > 1:35:30God, this is where Grey lives! Bring that gun!
1:35:45 > 1:35:47Mrs Grey!
1:35:52 > 1:35:54Mrs Grey!
1:35:57 > 1:36:01PATCH WHIMPERS >
1:36:09 > 1:36:10Sir...
1:36:24 > 1:36:25Mrs Grey!
1:37:13 > 1:37:17- I have a suggestion, Herr Oberst. - Yes, Brandt?
1:37:17 > 1:37:21- We should leave immediately. - Yes, Brandt.
1:37:36 > 1:37:39Get back to the church!
1:37:42 > 1:37:45COVER!!
1:38:37 > 1:38:40I'll let you know when I need you, Father.
1:38:40 > 1:38:42Get to your positions!
1:39:39 > 1:39:42I think we're about to take up permanent residence here.
1:40:00 > 1:40:02Another white flag has arrived.
1:40:02 > 1:40:07Unfortunately, THIS officer seems to know his business.
1:40:07 > 1:40:12- Well, thanks to my sister, your plot has failed.- Really?
1:40:12 > 1:40:18It failed because one of my men died saving that little girl.
1:40:27 > 1:40:31Father, you had better join your flock.
1:41:02 > 1:41:07- Captain Clark, what can I do for you?- Surrender.
1:41:08 > 1:41:10Surrender?!
1:41:16 > 1:41:18Mr Churchill is safe and under guard.
1:41:18 > 1:41:23Mrs Grey is dead, and her radio has been confiscated.
1:41:24 > 1:41:26It's all over, Colonel.
1:41:28 > 1:41:29I have hostages.
1:41:29 > 1:41:34Well, I can't see you bringin' them out, women and kids in front of you.
1:41:36 > 1:41:37No.
1:41:41 > 1:41:44Let the villagers go, Altmann.
1:41:44 > 1:41:46Father, your people, please.
1:42:10 > 1:42:14Colonel, I don't wish you well,
1:42:14 > 1:42:19- but I'm grateful for the life of my child.- So am I.
1:42:26 > 1:42:30Don't forget, Father... "The last shall be first."
1:42:40 > 1:42:42Let me go!
1:42:42 > 1:42:44HE SHOUTS
1:42:44 > 1:42:46Father! Father!
1:42:46 > 1:42:50Father, I've got to get you out of here! Pamela's all right. She's in the hospital.
1:42:51 > 1:42:53- Father!- Yes.
1:43:01 > 1:43:05- Goodbye, Captain Clark.- Colonel...
1:43:06 > 1:43:10There's no such thing as death with honour, just death.
1:43:10 > 1:43:12I have no intention of dying now
1:43:12 > 1:43:17but, if I'm going to, allow me to choose where and how.
1:43:24 > 1:43:29- What are YOU doing? - Getting the keys to his car.
1:43:33 > 1:43:35How did you get in here?
1:43:40 > 1:43:45There's a tunnel. It's an ancient escape route that leads up to the Vicarage.
1:43:47 > 1:43:49The car is parked at the end of it.
1:43:55 > 1:43:59Mr Devlin, you are an extraordinary man.
1:44:02 > 1:44:06Colonel Steiner, you are an extraordinary judge of character.
1:44:10 > 1:44:12There is a way out now.
1:44:16 > 1:44:19It is still possible for us to capture Churchill.
1:44:19 > 1:44:21Not US, Herr Oberst, YOU.
1:44:22 > 1:44:27- If we all attempt to leave, we will fail.- Very probably.
1:44:27 > 1:44:30Do you have a suggestion, Brandt?
1:44:30 > 1:44:35YOU go, and WE stay and hold this place as long as possible.

1:51:08 > 1:51:11How long have we known each other?
1:51:12 > 1:51:16Since the day you kicked me out the plane, at Narvik.

1:52:03 > 1:52:06You're still going after him?
1:52:06 > 1:52:11The time has come when I no longer control things...
1:52:11 > 1:52:13THEY control ME.
1:52:13 > 1:52:15Goodbye, Mr Devlin.
1:52:17 > 1:52:19You're a lovely fellow, Colonel.
1:52:25 > 1:52:28I hope you find what you're looking for.
1:52:28 > 1:52:31I already have. I hope I haven't lost it in the finding.
1:53:11 > 1:53:14Herr Oberst.
1:53:14 > 1:53:16A message from Albatross.
1:53:16 > 1:53:23- It, eh...- Read it.- It's garbled. We could have misunderstood.- Please.
1:53:24 > 1:53:30"One wounded fledgling left... return nest." Then it's unintelligible.
1:53:30 > 1:53:35"No tide at present...for..."
1:53:35 > 1:53:38Then it's unintelligible again.
1:53:38 > 1:53:43Em... "God save..." That's all they could understand, sir.

2:04:45 > 2:04:49Incredible. He knew this sort of thing could happen.
2:04:49 > 2:04:53He didn't even call out. He played it to the end.

2:05:49 > 2:05:51'To leave you is punishment enough.
