[man] As I looked up
into the darkened sky and made a vow,

42
00:03:52,793 --> 00:03:56,209
I would give the old country
another day to fit me into something,

43
00:03:56,709 --> 00:03:58,126
and if nothing happened,

44
00:03:58,209 --> 00:04:00,209
I would take the next boat for the Cape.

45

It was then,
as I was fitting my key into the door,

46
00:04:05,251 --> 00:04:07,418
I noticed a man at my elbow.

47
00:04:07,959 --> 00:04:11,876
I'd not seen him approach.
And his sudden appearance made me start.

"May I come in for a minute?"

50
00:04:17,918 --> 00:04:20,793
And if it were us, Omega,
would we let him in?

51
00:04:20,876 --> 00:04:23,543
Depends on whether or not
he knew the code, Agent Zed.

52

No sooner was he through the door…

He did let him in.

…when the odd-little man
poured himself a stiff whiskey,

55
00:04:31,751 --> 00:04:33,251
drank it in three gulps.

00:04:34,293 --> 00:04:35,376
"Pardon," he said.

A devious cabal of immediate family
has billed this as my retirement,

are clever enough to know

104
00:06:50,043 --> 00:06:53,668
that I will be buried in my silks
before I will ever hang them up for good.

105

109
00:07:08,168 --> 00:07:10,459

sails to less troubled shores
with our nestlings in tow.

112
00:07:17,459 --> 00:07:19,084
Iris is wiser than Solomon,

00:07:20,001 --> 00:07:21,334
stronger than Samson,

114
00:07:22,168 --> 00:07:23,459

Nazi spy rings
in the United States in 1938

137

More gracious than it needed to be.

to hurt you this way, my leaving.

-Stronger than Samson.

-Well, up you go then.

-I will write to you.

We'll write to each other.

152
00:09:40,251 --> 00:09:41,251
They have to go.

153
00:09:42,668 --> 00:09:43,751
Of course they do.

154
00:09:44,459 --> 00:09:47,584
If Hitler reaches London, a Jewish family
will be the first on their list.

155
00:09:48,793 --> 00:09:51,501
I would never expose Iris
and the children to that danger.

156
00:09:51,584 --> 00:09:53,501
A separation made all the more painful

157
00:09:54,959 --> 00:09:57,001
if it were to become permanent.

158
00:09:58,709 --> 00:10:00,001
She told you?

159
00:10:02,959 --> 00:10:04,876
I pleaded my case many times…

160
00:10:06,876 --> 00:10:08,918
for our family, for the marriage.

161
00:10:11,459 --> 00:10:13,584
Iris says marriages change, that…

162
00:10:14,709 --> 00:10:16,918
romance and love belong to the young.

163
00:10:17,793 --> 00:10:19,043
I don't believe that

164
00:10:19,876 --> 00:10:21,043
or feel it.

165
00:10:22,751 --> 00:10:25,084
And the thought
they may never be coming back…

166
00:10:30,293 --> 00:10:31,793
I know I can be remote,

167
00:10:33,543 --> 00:10:34,751
lost in my work…

168
00:10:36,751 --> 00:10:38,251
not as attentive as I might be.

169
00:10:38,334 --> 00:10:40,709
You're an imperfect person.
I doubt you're the first.

170
00:10:40,793 --> 00:10:42,209
I want Iris to be happy,

171
00:10:42,918 --> 00:10:45,001
even if it comes at
the expense of my own happiness.

172
00:10:45,084 --> 00:10:47,376
I've never heard her
say a word about unhappiness.

173
00:10:47,459 --> 00:10:50,168
That's because she knows
you'd jump on a grenade for me.

174
00:10:50,668 --> 00:10:52,001
Only on your good days.

175
00:10:55,959 --> 00:10:58,668
Iris said if I really cared,
I'd come to America with them.

176
00:10:58,751 --> 00:11:00,626
Oh, people say all sorts of things.

177
00:11:02,376 --> 00:11:06,126
She knows your duty is to your family
and your country.

178
00:11:08,126 --> 00:11:10,543
The nightmare marching this way
is only too real.

179
00:11:11,251 --> 00:11:13,709
And Masterman has asked me
to serve on The Twenty Committee.

180
00:11:15,168 --> 00:11:16,126
So you must.

181
00:11:18,376 --> 00:11:19,626
Starting tomorrow.

182
00:11:22,834 --> 00:11:24,834
[somber music playing]

183
00:11:27,709 --> 00:11:28,793
Goodbye, darlings.

184
00:11:32,459 --> 00:11:34,418
All right, now. That's it. That's it.

185
00:11:36,543 --> 00:11:37,709
Godspeed, darling.

186
00:11:40,334 --> 00:11:43,126
Our family manor
will be a freezing tomb without you.

187
00:11:43,209 --> 00:11:46,043
Take care of your brother,
Ivor, and yourself.

188
00:11:56,084 --> 00:11:58,084
[car revving]

189
00:12:10,001 --> 00:12:10,918
It's cold.

190
00:12:11,418 --> 00:12:13,626
I will see to a fresh pot immediately.

191
00:12:13,709 --> 00:12:16,543
They will drag me back
to the bowels any moment.

192
00:12:18,126 --> 00:12:20,709
Fresh air, such a luxury now.

193
00:12:20,793 --> 00:12:21,626
Let's walk.

194
00:12:25,043 --> 00:12:27,459
Everyone but a bloody fool
will know it's Sicily.

195
00:12:27,543 --> 00:12:30,376
That may be, Prime Minister,
but it is the only path forward,

196
00:12:30,459 --> 00:12:32,626
given that we must find a way into Europe.

197
00:12:33,293 --> 00:12:35,459
And the most strategic path is Sicily.

198
00:12:35,959 --> 00:12:36,959
It leads to Rome.

199
00:12:37,501 --> 00:12:40,376
France will follow.
A successful assault on Sicily

200
00:12:40,876 --> 00:12:42,876
means we will knock Italy out of the war,

201
00:12:42,959 --> 00:12:46,251
shatter Nazi morale, and spell
the beginning of their inevitable doom.

202
00:12:46,334 --> 00:12:48,418
Inevitable? Our losses mount daily.

203
00:12:48,918 --> 00:12:51,876
As you said yourself, sir,
"Sicily is the soft underbelly."

204
00:12:51,959 --> 00:12:53,126
I know what I said.

205
00:12:54,418 --> 00:12:58,126
I want to know how it will be achieved,
convincing Herr Hitler we're not gonna do

206
00:12:58,209 --> 00:13:00,959
what anyone with a bloody atlas
can see we'll do.

207
00:13:01,043 --> 00:13:04,293
Hitler will need to believe
that our next target is Greece,

208
00:13:04,793 --> 00:13:07,918
which, yes,
will require an elaborate deception.

209
00:13:08,584 --> 00:13:10,084
A deception plan so complex

210
00:13:10,168 --> 00:13:12,584
I believe it can only be handled
by The Twenty Committee.

211
00:13:12,668 --> 00:13:16,168
Which is why I shall focus the committee's
attention on the "Trout Memo,"

212
00:13:16,293 --> 00:13:18,668
the document I compiled a few years ago,

213
00:13:19,459 --> 00:13:20,668
to which my assistant,

214
00:13:20,751 --> 00:13:23,126
Lieutenant Commander
Ian Fleming, made some contribution.

215
00:13:24,293 --> 00:13:26,126
"Intelligence is like trout fishing."

216
00:13:26,709 --> 00:13:30,251
"The trout fisher, in tying his lure,
attempts to attract the fish."

217
00:13:30,334 --> 00:13:31,168
I detest fish.

218
00:13:31,751 --> 00:13:34,459
Well, fish as metaphor, in this case.

219
00:13:35,168 --> 00:13:39,584
Uh, the Trout Memo
is a definitive blueprint for spy-craft.

220
00:13:39,668 --> 00:13:40,918
Prime Minister, the memo

221
00:13:41,001 --> 00:13:42,834
in the hands of The Twenty Committee

222
00:13:42,918 --> 00:13:45,334
may, I believe,
hold the key to deceiving Hitler.

223
00:13:45,418 --> 00:13:47,876
And while some of the ideas
may appear fantastic--

224
00:13:47,959 --> 00:13:49,376
I applaud the fantastic.

225
00:13:50,251 --> 00:13:52,626
It has many advantages over the mundane.

226
00:13:53,168 --> 00:13:56,334
But the more fantastic,
the more foolproof the plan must be.

227
00:13:57,584 --> 00:14:00,209
Our troops are near dead
from heat in Africa.

228
00:14:00,293 --> 00:14:02,959
I gave Roosevelt my word Sicily was next.

229
00:14:03,876 --> 00:14:06,293
An invasion date of July
is now set in stone.

230
00:14:07,001 --> 00:14:10,876
And right now, thousands of our boys
already lie in Europe's soil.

231
00:14:12,543 --> 00:14:14,001
If we do not fool the Nazis,

232
00:14:14,084 --> 00:14:16,751
and the enemy is
waiting for us on those beaches…

233
00:14:18,709 --> 00:14:21,459
history herself
will avert her eyes from the slaughter.

234
00:14:22,668 --> 00:14:24,668
[somber music playing]

235
00:14:30,334 --> 00:14:31,376

236
00:14:31,459 --> 00:14:34,751
Mother, please do not touch
the dolomite while I'm at work.

237
00:14:34,834 --> 00:14:37,043
A lobe in one of the cams is missing.

238
00:14:37,751 --> 00:14:40,584
I don't have time to find it now,
but haven't we learned

239
00:14:40,668 --> 00:14:43,001
that an overhead camshaft
is virtually useless

240
00:14:43,501 --> 00:14:45,209
without its properly functioning mate?

241
00:14:45,709 --> 00:14:48,043
You might worry about
finding your own mate.

242
00:14:48,126 --> 00:14:49,918
I hope to return with sugar cubes.

243
00:14:51,584 --> 00:14:52,459
And Robbie?

244
00:14:53,793 --> 00:14:55,834
Have you had success
in bringing Robbie home?

245
00:14:55,918 --> 00:14:58,501
-I'm doing all that I can.
-Pulling strings like you promised?

246
00:14:58,584 --> 00:15:02,293
-Every string within grasp.
-A real-life war hero.

247
00:15:05,126 --> 00:15:06,668
And where is Chittagong?

248
00:15:06,751 --> 00:15:07,584
Bengal.

Montagu? I invited him.

254
00:15:32,584 --> 00:15:33,709
That was a mistake.

255
00:15:35,459 --> 00:15:38,584
[man] The main deception we will
feed the Nazis will run as follows.

256
00:15:39,209 --> 00:15:42,209
Our Twelfth Army, which does not exist,

257
00:15:42,293 --> 00:15:44,876
with its 12 divisions,
which also do not exist,

258
00:15:44,959 --> 00:15:47,501
will invade Greece six months from now,

259
00:15:48,001 --> 00:15:49,376
on the 10th of July.

260
00:15:49,459 --> 00:15:52,876
We will develop numerous tactics
to reinforce this deception,

261
00:15:52,959 --> 00:15:55,834
bogus troop movements, fake radio traffic.

262
00:15:55,918 --> 00:15:59,126
Our agents
will recruit Greek interpreters,

263
00:15:59,209 --> 00:16:01,293
buy up a sizable cache of drachma,

264
00:16:01,376 --> 00:16:04,043
all to take the focus off Sicily,

265
00:16:04,126 --> 00:16:08,376
the real target and the site
of the actual invasion that same day.

266
00:16:08,459 --> 00:16:10,084
And the centerpiece of this deception?

267
00:16:10,168 --> 00:16:13,709
As I just said, Commander,
Twelfth Army is the centerpiece.

268
00:16:13,793 --> 00:16:15,459
It's not enough, I'm afraid.

269
00:16:16,668 --> 00:16:18,626
The tactics you've just outlined would

270
00:16:19,126 --> 00:16:23,459
point to Greece, but if we had
to get Hitler to divert actual troops

271
00:16:23,543 --> 00:16:25,626
from Sicily,
given her strategic importance,

272
00:16:25,709 --> 00:16:29,501
we would need to provide him with proof
of our intention towards Greece.

273
00:16:30,459 --> 00:16:32,501
-Fake proof, of course.
-I agree with that.

274
00:16:33,126 --> 00:16:34,418
And to that end, um,

275
00:16:34,501 --> 00:16:36,918
I've also been working on
a deception plan,

276
00:16:37,001 --> 00:16:38,709
which I've dubbed Operation Trojan Horse.

277
00:16:38,793 --> 00:16:41,043
It's a-- it's a ruse taken
from the Trout Memo.

278
00:16:41,126 --> 00:16:42,459
Idea number 28.

279
00:16:42,543 --> 00:16:44,418
Number 28? A corpse carrying false papers

280
00:16:44,501 --> 00:16:46,793
drops on the coast
from a parachute that supposedly failed.

281
00:16:46,876 --> 00:16:48,043
The Trout Memo is dead.

282
00:16:48,126 --> 00:16:50,876
I believe the prime minister
has an aversion to fish, Admiral.

283
00:16:50,959 --> 00:16:52,793
He did not kill the entire memo.

284
00:16:52,876 --> 00:16:55,584
A corpse carrying fake documents, hmm?

285
00:16:56,668 --> 00:17:00,376
Of all the ideas in the Trout Memo,
that one is by far the most precarious.

286
00:17:00,459 --> 00:17:03,043
Except the Germans will be
skittish on account of Spain,

287
00:17:03,126 --> 00:17:05,251
where they recently
failed to follow up real papers

288
00:17:05,334 --> 00:17:07,168
on the body of an airman
washed up in Cadiz.

289
00:17:07,251 --> 00:17:09,918
So may I suggest the timing is perfect.

290
00:17:10,001 --> 00:17:11,793
-[Godfrey] For Trojan Horse?
-Mm.

291
00:17:12,251 --> 00:17:13,834
A code name a child could decipher.

292
00:17:14,418 --> 00:17:18,459
And the Germans would be expecting us to
plant papers precisely because of Cadiz.

293
00:17:18,543 --> 00:17:20,459
Or the Nazis being linear thinkers

294
00:17:20,543 --> 00:17:22,584
would not want to
make the same mistake twice.

295
00:17:22,668 --> 00:17:24,668
Simply a version of the Haversack Ruse.

296
00:17:24,751 --> 00:17:26,209
Of which, of course, I am well aware.

297
00:17:26,293 --> 00:17:29,126
[Ewen] Then you will also be aware
that the ruse has a good track record,

298
00:17:29,209 --> 00:17:31,293
which is what I believe my friend…

299
00:17:31,376 --> 00:17:34,376
Uh, Flight Lieutenant Cholmondeley.
C-H-O-L-M-O-N-D-E-L-E-Y.

300
00:17:34,459 --> 00:17:35,543
…was trying to say.

301
00:17:35,626 --> 00:17:38,001
For those of you who don't know
Lt. Commander Montagu,

302
00:17:38,084 --> 00:17:39,501
he joins us from the Old Bailey,

303
00:17:39,584 --> 00:17:41,501
which means he's had
little time for deception.

304
00:17:41,584 --> 00:17:43,001
I've spent my days in court, sir.

305
00:17:43,084 --> 00:17:45,501
Hence, he is blind to the obvious pitfalls

306
00:17:45,584 --> 00:17:48,501
of tossing a letter-laden corpse
into the sea.

307
00:17:48,584 --> 00:17:52,959
I'm simply saying that for a deception
to reach Hitler, it must have a channel.

308
00:17:53,543 --> 00:17:56,418
Spain is neutral,
the ideal place to launch such a plan

309
00:17:56,501 --> 00:17:58,793
because she is crawling with
spies from both sides.

310
00:17:58,876 --> 00:18:01,168
-She has a vast coastline.
-[Charles] And since our agents

311
00:18:01,251 --> 00:18:03,001
in Madrid have
an elaborate network, we could

312
00:18:03,084 --> 00:18:05,418
quite literally float the documents
right into enemy hands.

313
00:18:06,418 --> 00:18:08,293
Montagu and Cholmondeley
are clearly convinced

314
00:18:08,376 --> 00:18:09,876
they have a direct line to the Fuhrer.

315
00:18:09,959 --> 00:18:14,251
So let's wish them both luck
implementing Operation Trojan Horse.

316
00:18:14,334 --> 00:18:17,501
The rest of us will proceed
with the operation I have outlined.

317
00:18:18,001 --> 00:18:19,751
I have a vested interest in this plot,

318
00:18:19,834 --> 00:18:22,834
which is why I've told M
in no uncertain terms

319
00:18:22,918 --> 00:18:26,251
you'll need a secure space,
command center, a staff…

320
00:18:26,334 --> 00:18:27,959
But do we think it can work?

321
00:18:28,459 --> 00:18:30,793
-I know I just made a case for it.
-An eloquent case.

322
00:18:31,293 --> 00:18:33,709
It's the Haversack Ruse.
It's tried, tested.

323
00:18:33,793 --> 00:18:35,751
"Deception needs a channel."
Those were your words.

324
00:18:35,834 --> 00:18:37,834
They were. I'm only imagining

325
00:18:38,668 --> 00:18:39,959
a dead body

326
00:18:40,459 --> 00:18:42,251
hurtling through the air.

327
00:18:42,751 --> 00:18:45,209
The plan is bold, there's no question,

328
00:18:45,293 --> 00:18:48,209
but it's ours now, regardless.
M's seen to that.

329
00:18:48,709 --> 00:18:52,168
Although, what if the body
does disintegrate on impact?

330
00:18:52,251 --> 00:18:54,543
[Ian] Let's not bring that up now,
shall we?

331
00:18:54,626 --> 00:18:56,376
And definitely not in front of M.

332
00:18:56,876 --> 00:18:58,668
[Ewen] Why do you call Godfrey "M"?

333
00:18:58,751 --> 00:19:00,876
[Ian] Because I called my mother "M."

334
00:19:00,959 --> 00:19:05,293
Most terrifying, most impossible,
most demanding creature I've ever known.

335
00:19:05,376 --> 00:19:08,334
[Charles] What if the plane with the body
is intercepted before he's dropped?

336
00:19:08,418 --> 00:19:09,959
[Ewen] So, Mother has no faith in this?

337
00:19:10,043 --> 00:19:12,584
[Ian] That's because Number 28
wasn't Godfrey's idea.

338
00:19:12,668 --> 00:19:16,084
It was mine, a plot I cribbed
from Basil Thompson's novel

339
00:19:16,168 --> 00:19:17,209
The Milliner's Hat.

340
00:19:17,293 --> 00:19:18,876
-Have you read Thompson?
-I prefer Buchan.

341
00:19:18,959 --> 00:19:21,709
[Charles] Or what if the autopsy reveals
that he didn't die of drowning?

342
00:19:22,293 --> 00:19:25,876
Or if the briefcase is returned to us
without the Germans seeing its contents?

343
00:19:25,959 --> 00:19:28,709
Charles, why on earth
do you keep poking holes in our plan?

344
00:19:28,793 --> 00:19:30,084
I'm preemptively poking

345
00:19:30,168 --> 00:19:32,418
to ensure all the details
are properly thought through.

346
00:19:32,918 --> 00:19:34,126
Because as Godfrey made clear,

347
00:19:34,209 --> 00:19:36,001
our feet will be
held to the fire soon enough.

348
00:19:36,084 --> 00:19:38,293
The plan will work if we make it work.

349
00:19:40,793 --> 00:19:42,376
He's put you down here.

350
00:19:44,959 --> 00:19:47,501
[Ewen] I will certainly
be removed from prying eyes.

351
00:19:47,584 --> 00:19:50,293
[Charles] Removed from
life in all forms, even the air.

352
00:19:51,543 --> 00:19:53,168
Will you be joining us down here, Fleming?

353
00:19:53,251 --> 00:19:55,751
I will likely stay upstairs.

354
00:19:55,834 --> 00:19:59,834
But whomever is equally industrious
will succeed equally well.

355
00:20:00,543 --> 00:20:02,543
-The Milliner's Hat, no doubt.
-Ah.

356
00:20:05,043 --> 00:20:07,334
Oh well, The Twenty Committee certainly

357
00:20:07,418 --> 00:20:10,126
has its advantages,
I suppose, if you like spooks.

358
00:20:10,959 --> 00:20:13,709
My friends think I'm
working in naval supplies.

359
00:20:13,793 --> 00:20:15,626
My mother believes I'm a clerk.

360
00:20:16,793 --> 00:20:18,251
And Robert Cholmondeley?

361
00:20:18,834 --> 00:20:19,793
My brother.

362
00:20:19,876 --> 00:20:22,001
I did hear the news from Chittagong.

363
00:20:22,584 --> 00:20:23,834
My deepest condolences.

364
00:20:23,918 --> 00:20:25,751
No, yes, we've lost a real hero.

365
00:20:26,709 --> 00:20:28,918
Leaving my mother with me, the penguin,

366
00:20:29,584 --> 00:20:32,418
RAF pilot and officer
with big feet and bad eyes,

367
00:20:32,918 --> 00:20:35,043
which means I'm, in effect, grounded,

368
00:20:35,793 --> 00:20:37,251
flightless bird.

369
00:20:40,126 --> 00:20:41,751
[Ewen] Well, what say we start with

370
00:20:41,834 --> 00:20:44,459
the easy part and find ourselves a corpse?

371
00:20:45,459 --> 00:20:47,376
You can take your pick, to be honest.

372
00:20:47,459 --> 00:20:49,668
That goes right down the corridor.

373
00:20:49,751 --> 00:20:51,584
Right, you can go straight through there.

374
00:20:51,668 --> 00:20:53,626
Two, three, lift.

375
00:20:53,709 --> 00:20:55,584
[fast-paced music playing]

376
00:21:02,918 --> 00:21:04,084
You did say drownings.

377
00:21:04,168 --> 00:21:07,043
[phone ringing]

378
00:21:07,959 --> 00:21:08,918
Room 13.

379
00:21:09,418 --> 00:21:10,793
Coroner Birtwistle for you.

380
00:21:11,459 --> 00:21:12,501
Montagu.

381
00:21:13,709 --> 00:21:15,584
[Hester] This is the same
Official Secrets Act

382
00:21:15,668 --> 00:21:17,084
you signed for Bletchley,

383
00:21:17,168 --> 00:21:19,668
but this covers your work
with The Twenty Committee

384
00:21:19,751 --> 00:21:21,418
and here in room 13.

385
00:21:21,501 --> 00:21:24,668
Male, of service age, drowned.

386
00:21:25,168 --> 00:21:28,001
-Now, tell me why you want him?
-Where are his legs?

387
00:21:28,668 --> 00:21:30,418
And are there 20 in The Twenty Committee?

388
00:21:30,501 --> 00:21:32,418
No, twenty's a joke. Two Xs.

389
00:21:32,501 --> 00:21:34,209
Ah, the Roman numerals.

390
00:21:34,293 --> 00:21:37,126
-Oh, as in double-cross?
-[laughs]

391
00:21:38,084 --> 00:21:41,918
You will use your Bletchley skills
to fish for cues in decoded chatter

392
00:21:42,001 --> 00:21:45,168
about Sicily, Greece,
enemy troops in those areas.

393
00:21:45,251 --> 00:21:46,459
Is that understood?

394
00:21:48,293 --> 00:21:52,418
The team in 102 are planning
fake training exercises.

395
00:21:52,501 --> 00:21:54,876
106 are running double agents.

396
00:21:54,959 --> 00:21:57,668
107 will be dropping leaflets on Cypress.

397
00:21:57,751 --> 00:21:59,418
I don't know yet
what the leaflets will say.

398
00:21:59,501 --> 00:22:03,168
And yet here we are in a huge city
in the middle of a world war,

399
00:22:03,668 --> 00:22:07,001
and we can't seem to find ourselves
a single suitable corpse.

400
00:22:07,584 --> 00:22:09,001
We need an insider.

401
00:22:10,084 --> 00:22:11,584
We need Bentley Purchase.

402
00:22:12,084 --> 00:22:14,418
And to what purpose would the body be put?

403
00:22:14,501 --> 00:22:17,418
A warlike operation,
that's really all we can say.

404
00:22:17,501 --> 00:22:20,084
Although we can also say
that the body must be male,

405
00:22:20,168 --> 00:22:22,209
of service age, intact,

406
00:22:22,293 --> 00:22:23,918
and could pass for a drowning.

407
00:22:24,418 --> 00:22:27,376
Intriguing, but I'll have to demur.

408
00:22:27,459 --> 00:22:28,709
Public confidence in our office

409
00:22:28,793 --> 00:22:31,334
would be irreparably shaken
if something like that got out.

410
00:22:31,418 --> 00:22:32,751
[Ewen] Like the Darby case?

411
00:22:34,126 --> 00:22:35,626
You remember the Darby case, Bentley?

412
00:22:36,126 --> 00:22:38,126
I brought you in
to give the evidence a second look.

413
00:22:38,209 --> 00:22:39,793
Your testimony won the case.

414
00:22:39,876 --> 00:22:41,209
Case cemented your reputation,

415
00:22:41,918 --> 00:22:44,418
which led to your position here,
if I'm not mistaken.

416
00:22:44,918 --> 00:22:46,293
[clicks tongue] In a nutshell.

417
00:22:46,376 --> 00:22:47,626
The matter here is urgent.

418
00:22:47,709 --> 00:22:50,543
It is top secret,
and it is approved at the highest level.

419
00:22:50,626 --> 00:22:53,501
-It cannot be high enough.
-Churchill has approved it.

420
00:22:53,584 --> 00:22:55,959
[clock ticking]

421
00:22:57,626 --> 00:22:59,626
[footsteps echoing]

422
00:23:11,126 --> 00:23:12,584
Fresh as a daisy.

423
00:23:13,084 --> 00:23:15,834
Transferred from
Saint Pancras hospital yesterday.

424
00:23:15,918 --> 00:23:17,168
[nurse] What is your name, dear?

425
00:23:17,959 --> 00:23:18,918
[Bentley] This is…

426
00:23:19,418 --> 00:23:20,501
was…

427
00:23:21,001 --> 00:23:22,418
Glyndwr Michael.

428
00:23:23,001 --> 00:23:25,001
[nurse] What is it
you do for work, Glyndwr?

429
00:23:26,376 --> 00:23:28,876
[Bentley] There is no occupation
noted in the man's chart.

430
00:23:28,959 --> 00:23:31,584
Appears he was originally
from Aberbargoed,

431
00:23:32,084 --> 00:23:34,584
but in London, he was a vagrant,
no fixed address.

432
00:23:35,709 --> 00:23:38,626
Cause of death is chemical toxicity

433
00:23:39,126 --> 00:23:41,043
from rat poison left on bread.

434
00:23:42,043 --> 00:23:44,668
I want you to know,
God forgives you, Glyndwr,

435
00:23:46,168 --> 00:23:48,959
for hating yourself so much
you'd take your own life.

436
00:23:49,459 --> 00:23:52,459
[Bentley] It appears the man
ended his life while of unsound mind.

437
00:23:52,543 --> 00:23:56,168
Luckily for us, the human body
contains a host of chemicals naturally,

438
00:23:56,251 --> 00:23:59,043
so determining how he died
should he be immersed in water

439
00:23:59,126 --> 00:24:01,251
would require a highly skilled coroner.

440
00:24:02,126 --> 00:24:03,709
Where would you be landing him?

441
00:24:04,209 --> 00:24:06,251
Most likely a small coastal town.

442
00:24:06,334 --> 00:24:08,668
[Bentley] Where the local coroner,
if there's one at all,

443
00:24:08,751 --> 00:24:11,584
won't have the foggiest idea
why this chap kicked the bucket.

444
00:24:11,668 --> 00:24:13,876
Do you have any relatives, Glyndwr?

445
00:24:16,293 --> 00:24:18,043
Do you have a next of kin?

446
00:24:21,376 --> 00:24:23,168
The body is unclaimed,

447
00:24:23,834 --> 00:24:28,001
but I must warn you,
our friend will soon start to rot.

448
00:24:28,501 --> 00:24:30,043
I can place him in our coldest box,

449
00:24:30,126 --> 00:24:32,418
which will retard decomposition
but not arrest it.

450
00:24:32,501 --> 00:24:34,501
Meaning if Glyndwr Michael

451
00:24:34,584 --> 00:24:36,876
is to be of any use to you at all,

452
00:24:37,418 --> 00:24:39,626
he must be in service within three months.

453
00:24:43,293 --> 00:24:44,334
[match strikes]

454
00:24:44,834 --> 00:24:48,001
[typewriter clacking]

455
00:24:48,084 --> 00:24:49,501
[Ian] In the real war,

456
00:24:50,001 --> 00:24:53,668
there are constant reminders
of the brutality at hand.

457
00:24:56,793 --> 00:24:59,626
A quarter of a million lie dead in battle,

458
00:25:00,459 --> 00:25:01,918
an unspeakable horror

459
00:25:02,501 --> 00:25:04,543
with no end in sight.

460
00:25:05,084 --> 00:25:06,543
I'll be at my club.

461
00:25:07,168 --> 00:25:09,126
And I shall be up to no good

462
00:25:09,793 --> 00:25:11,001
as usual.

463
00:25:11,084 --> 00:25:12,918
[Ian] While in the other war,

464
00:25:13,001 --> 00:25:14,543
the war of shadows

465
00:25:15,043 --> 00:25:17,584
normal life appears to continue,

466
00:25:18,251 --> 00:25:20,709
itself an act of canny deception.

470
00:25:30,168 --> 00:25:31,376
[Ian] In this war,

471
00:25:31,876 --> 00:25:33,959
real lives are also lost,

472
00:25:34,751 --> 00:25:38,543
and even fictional lives
can meet an untimely end.

473
00:25:43,001 --> 00:25:45,043
[Ewen] I believe my guests
have preceded me, Teddy.

474
00:25:45,126 --> 00:25:46,418
They have, sir,

475
00:25:46,501 --> 00:25:48,126
and ordered their drinks.

476
00:25:48,209 --> 00:25:49,126
[Ewen] Thank you.

477
00:25:50,668 --> 00:25:52,751
[Ian] And once in a great while,

478
00:25:52,834 --> 00:25:56,168
the laws of nature
reverse themselves entirely,

479
00:25:56,959 --> 00:25:59,543
and the dead are made alive again.

480
00:25:59,626 --> 00:26:01,543
We were just discussing our chap.

481
00:26:01,626 --> 00:26:03,876
The crucial thing is that he must be real.

482
00:26:04,793 --> 00:26:06,001
As real as you or I.

483
00:26:07,084 --> 00:26:09,209
He must have parents, for example.

484
00:26:09,293 --> 00:26:11,876
Rank, regiment,
bank accounts, love affairs…

485
00:26:11,959 --> 00:26:14,084
Nicotine habit. He attended Oundle.

486
00:26:14,668 --> 00:26:16,251
Flew kites as a boy.

487
00:26:16,334 --> 00:26:19,084
And on a blustery day, you'll still
find him kiting in Dulwich Park.

488
00:26:19,168 --> 00:26:21,959
Thing is, the Germans will
scrutinize every detail of our fallen man.

489
00:26:22,043 --> 00:26:24,793
-So the slightest inconsistency--
-Ah, Teddy. Thank you.

490
00:26:26,501 --> 00:26:27,751
-Martini.
-Thank you.

491
00:26:27,834 --> 00:26:30,043
-Gin and lemon for the lady.
-Thank you.

492
00:26:31,834 --> 00:26:34,959
Even the, uh, slightest inconsistency
will signal the ruse.

493
00:26:35,043 --> 00:26:38,334
So, to create a real fake man
from a real dead man,

494
00:26:38,834 --> 00:26:39,668
we start by--

495
00:26:39,751 --> 00:26:42,043
By giving him a real, real name.

496
00:26:42,126 --> 00:26:45,251
-John would be solid.
-James. George. Robert is good.

497
00:26:45,334 --> 00:26:48,376
-That's my brother's name.
-[Ewen] Of course, forgive me.

498
00:26:48,459 --> 00:26:50,334
-But William could work.
-[Ewen] It could.

499
00:26:50,918 --> 00:26:53,668
And William would be a Royal Marine.

500
00:26:53,751 --> 00:26:56,293
An officer in the Royal Marines
if he's carrying secret letters.

501
00:26:56,376 --> 00:26:57,209
[Ewen] Exactly right.

502
00:26:57,293 --> 00:26:59,501
An officer in the Royal Marines

503
00:27:00,001 --> 00:27:01,043
with a common British name,

504
00:27:01,126 --> 00:27:02,959
so that when
the Germans check the Navy lists,

505
00:27:03,043 --> 00:27:07,459
it will be harder to
track down a Major William Martin.

506
00:27:07,543 --> 00:27:10,668
With your identification number.
How very clever.

507
00:27:10,751 --> 00:27:12,668
So, if the Germans do follow the name--

508
00:27:12,751 --> 00:27:14,751
[Charles] Ewen will be the first to know.

509
00:27:15,334 --> 00:27:19,376
There it is, as if I… were him.

510
00:27:19,459 --> 00:27:22,626
-Now, all we need is his photograph.
-In Royal Marine Blues.

511
00:27:22,709 --> 00:27:26,001
No, no. Marines travel in battledress,
and our Marine will be traveling.

512
00:27:26,084 --> 00:27:28,084
And the uniform cannot appear new.

513
00:27:28,168 --> 00:27:29,918
It must be broken down.

514
00:27:30,001 --> 00:27:32,626
It must have exactly
the right patina of wear,

515
00:27:33,168 --> 00:27:34,168
as if I were him.

516
00:27:34,668 --> 00:27:38,501
There must be a love story
if Maj. Martin's life is to be believable.

517
00:27:38,584 --> 00:27:41,084
[Ewen] Objection.
Creation of a material fact.

518
00:27:41,168 --> 00:27:43,459
A real life need not be a romantic one.

519
00:27:43,543 --> 00:27:46,459
He would carry a letter from his betrothed
professing her deep love for him.

520
00:27:46,543 --> 00:27:49,209
That's very good. That's precisely
the level of detail we need.

521
00:27:49,709 --> 00:27:51,251
-And he would carry her photograph.
-Yes.

522
00:27:51,334 --> 00:27:53,584
Well, we clearly read different novels.

523
00:27:53,668 --> 00:27:56,543
Well, why not ask
some of our female colleagues

524
00:27:56,626 --> 00:27:58,543
if they might be willing
to submit snapshots,

525
00:27:58,626 --> 00:28:00,918
and perhaps we can
find a partner for our Major Martin.

526
00:28:01,001 --> 00:28:02,376
That's not a risk?

527
00:28:02,459 --> 00:28:04,501
Picking a girl working in the Admiralty?

528
00:28:04,584 --> 00:28:07,084
She's an anonymous girl,
washed up on a distant shore.

529
00:28:07,168 --> 00:28:08,501
Oh, she might even be thrilled

530
00:28:08,584 --> 00:28:10,876
to find herself
in the middle of a dangerous plot.

531
00:28:11,376 --> 00:28:13,209
Lives at stake, countries at war.

532
00:28:13,959 --> 00:28:16,168
Her lover torn away by duty and fate.

533
00:28:19,459 --> 00:28:21,543
You want me to help you?

534
00:28:21,626 --> 00:28:23,501
[Charles] And by extension,
help your country.

535
00:28:24,209 --> 00:28:26,459
Yes, you know all the girls
in the office and, um,

536
00:28:26,959 --> 00:28:31,084
I've seen the way you go about your work.
You're very clever and,

537
00:28:32,043 --> 00:28:33,334
uh, meticulous and--

538
00:28:33,418 --> 00:28:34,626
You've been watching me.

539
00:28:34,709 --> 00:28:38,168
No, no, not-- there's certainly--
there's nothing untoward, I simply…

540
00:28:38,751 --> 00:28:40,334
[takes a deep breath]

541
00:28:40,418 --> 00:28:44,251
If you could point me to a girl
who would give us her photograph.

542
00:28:45,043 --> 00:28:48,251
But what would her photograph be used for?

543
00:28:48,334 --> 00:28:50,293
Well, I'm afraid that's classified.

544
00:28:50,793 --> 00:28:54,501
But, um, by donating her image,
she'd be involved in

545
00:28:54,584 --> 00:28:57,626
and on the ground floor
of a significant operation.

546
00:28:57,709 --> 00:28:59,501
Operation Trojan Horse.

547
00:28:59,584 --> 00:29:00,668
It's been renamed,

548
00:29:01,168 --> 00:29:02,543
something less obvious.

549
00:29:03,043 --> 00:29:04,418
Operation Mincemeat.

550
00:29:04,501 --> 00:29:06,209
Due to the dead body.

551
00:29:06,293 --> 00:29:09,334
-You surmised that rather quickly.
-I already knew the plot.

552
00:29:09,418 --> 00:29:10,501
[drawer opens]

553
00:29:10,584 --> 00:29:11,626
[item clatters]

554
00:29:13,293 --> 00:29:15,126
Would something like this do?

555
00:29:18,876 --> 00:29:21,001
Taken by my husband a long time ago.

556
00:29:22,751 --> 00:29:23,584
Your husband,

557
00:29:24,376 --> 00:29:25,751
I didn't realize, um…

558
00:29:26,626 --> 00:29:28,084
Well, it-- it's

559
00:29:28,168 --> 00:29:30,334
lovely. It's-- it's perfect.

560
00:29:30,418 --> 00:29:32,543
It could be my
contribution to the mission.

561
00:29:33,168 --> 00:29:34,543
First of many, perhaps.

562
00:29:35,043 --> 00:29:38,834
My photograph in exchange
for a seat at the table.

563
00:29:42,376 --> 00:29:43,376
Very well.

564
00:29:45,543 --> 00:29:47,418
[suspenseful music playing]

565
00:29:47,501 --> 00:29:48,709
[Jean] I'm all ears.

566
00:29:49,834 --> 00:29:52,418
Well, we've managed to find a body.

567
00:29:53,376 --> 00:29:54,418
Pretty as a picture.

568
00:29:55,293 --> 00:29:57,209
[Charles] And the process
of transforming him into

569
00:29:57,293 --> 00:30:00,043
Major William Martin is on the way.

570
00:30:00,126 --> 00:30:02,209
[flash bulbs popping]

571
00:30:05,001 --> 00:30:05,876
Bloody hell!

572
00:30:06,459 --> 00:30:10,001
Let's just not attempt
to make him smile again, please.

573
00:30:10,501 --> 00:30:12,834
-Does none of us any favors.
-Because he looks dead, Bentley.

574
00:30:12,918 --> 00:30:14,918
Whatever we do, just deader and deader.

575
00:30:15,001 --> 00:30:17,918
It's hard to come alive
for one's close up in this state.

576
00:30:18,001 --> 00:30:19,668
If we bungle one tiny detail,

577
00:30:19,751 --> 00:30:22,501
a droopy eyelid,
an open mouth instead of a smile,

578
00:30:22,584 --> 00:30:25,543
we might as well telegraph
Berlin ourselves it's all a hoax.

579
00:30:25,626 --> 00:30:27,793
Then may I suggest a live face?

580
00:30:27,876 --> 00:30:29,626
That looks just like the dead face?

581
00:30:29,709 --> 00:30:31,084
In a city of nine million,

582
00:30:31,834 --> 00:30:33,626
surely someone resembles our friend.

583
00:30:35,334 --> 00:30:36,751
[piano playing]

584
00:30:36,834 --> 00:30:38,834
[indistinct chatter]

585
00:30:47,668 --> 00:30:49,626
Do we think he'd be dancing?

586
00:30:49,709 --> 00:30:51,126
Major Martin, if he were here?

587
00:30:51,209 --> 00:30:52,126
Well, he is an officer.

588
00:30:52,209 --> 00:30:55,459
Well, not all officers dance, and I doubt
our Bill gives two figs for dancing.

589
00:30:58,001 --> 00:30:59,626
No, too full in the face.

590
00:30:59,709 --> 00:31:02,084
-But without the mustache?
-His brow is too heavy.

591
00:31:02,709 --> 00:31:04,043
Why don't we try something easier,

592
00:31:04,126 --> 00:31:06,168
for God's sake,
like looking for tits on a bull?

593
00:31:06,918 --> 00:31:08,334
Forgive me. That was uncalled for.

594
00:31:08,418 --> 00:31:11,418
No, I saw the photographs.
It's called for.

595
00:31:11,918 --> 00:31:14,793
As for dancing, I suspect
the major's not much for a foxtrot

596
00:31:14,876 --> 00:31:17,168
but could clear the floor with a tango.

597
00:31:17,251 --> 00:31:20,668
Our progress to date:
Major Bill Martin is an industrious chap,

598
00:31:20,751 --> 00:31:24,293
occasionally forgetful,
habitually tardy, but also clever.

599
00:31:24,376 --> 00:31:26,334
-Amend that to brilliant.
-He's no good with money.

600
00:31:26,418 --> 00:31:28,501
We should include
an overdraft letter in his briefcase.

601
00:31:28,584 --> 00:31:30,626
And is he happy? Is he a happy man?

602
00:31:30,709 --> 00:31:31,751
[Ewen] He wants to be.

603
00:31:32,251 --> 00:31:34,251
He started out with such promise,

604
00:31:34,834 --> 00:31:37,959
a sense of hope about,
about the world, about his future.

605
00:31:39,584 --> 00:31:42,293
But now it all seems dark, uncertain.

606
00:31:42,959 --> 00:31:44,501
He is in the middle of a war.

607
00:31:44,584 --> 00:31:46,668
Exactly right.
He signed up for the Royal Marines.

608
00:31:46,751 --> 00:31:49,876
But once commissioned was consigned
to a desk, which he despised.

609
00:31:49,959 --> 00:31:53,376
Because the life he really wanted
was one of daring and intrigue,

610
00:31:53,459 --> 00:31:57,168
and so he escaped,
and he switched to the commandos,

611
00:31:57,251 --> 00:31:59,251
where he distinguished
himself in technical matters.

612
00:31:59,334 --> 00:32:00,918
The mechanics of landing craft.

613
00:32:01,001 --> 00:32:03,168
And he predicted
the Dieppe Raid would be a catastrophe.

614
00:32:03,251 --> 00:32:04,334
[Ewen] And how right he was.

615
00:32:04,418 --> 00:32:06,793
He sounds like a character
from Sir John's latest novel.

616
00:32:07,376 --> 00:32:10,084
-Masterman is writing a novel?
-[Jean] A spy novel.

617
00:32:10,168 --> 00:32:12,376
Apparently, he thinks of me as his muse.

618
00:32:12,459 --> 00:32:15,543
Well then, he may be in for a duel
because you're Major Martin's muse now.

619
00:32:15,626 --> 00:32:18,043
The girl I was at 20 is his muse.

620
00:32:18,126 --> 00:32:20,709
Nevertheless, it's your photograph
that will be pressed to his heart

621
00:32:20,793 --> 00:32:21,668
when he washes ashore.

622
00:32:21,751 --> 00:32:23,834
Yes, wallet litter
is what you are. [chuckles]

623
00:32:24,959 --> 00:32:26,334
Not as in rubbish.

624
00:32:26,418 --> 00:32:28,334
That's just spy parlance
for the bits and pieces

625
00:32:28,418 --> 00:32:30,043
that one finds in one's pockets.

626
00:32:30,126 --> 00:32:31,501
And do I have a name?

627
00:32:31,584 --> 00:32:32,501
Pam.

628
00:32:34,168 --> 00:32:37,501
Not five weeks ago,
the major looked across a crowded room.

629
00:32:37,584 --> 00:32:39,293
Across a crowded room.

630
00:32:39,376 --> 00:32:40,584
The major sat

631
00:32:41,168 --> 00:32:43,543
at a small table in a strange bar

632
00:32:44,084 --> 00:32:46,084
and found himself with a woman

633
00:32:46,751 --> 00:32:49,251
both known and unknown to him all at once.

634
00:32:50,959 --> 00:32:52,793
Within days, something deep

635
00:32:53,793 --> 00:32:57,209
and unexpected had blossomed,
culminating in a diamond ring

636
00:32:57,293 --> 00:32:59,334
slid onto Pam's slim finger

637
00:33:00,293 --> 00:33:03,501
as Bill revealed himself to her
as a changed man.

638
00:33:04,001 --> 00:33:05,168
[man] Jean?

639
00:33:06,793 --> 00:33:07,668
Jean.

640
00:33:08,834 --> 00:33:09,876
There you are.

641
00:33:09,959 --> 00:33:11,501
I had him down as a guest.

642
00:33:11,584 --> 00:33:15,126
Yes, under Lieutenant Commander
Montagu's name. Thank you.

643
00:33:16,959 --> 00:33:19,126
-Please, sit.
-Thanks.

644
00:33:19,209 --> 00:33:22,251
I suppose it's very fashionable
these days marrying an American.

645
00:33:22,751 --> 00:33:25,293
Who, me? Oh no, that'd be my lucky day.

646
00:33:25,793 --> 00:33:27,626
Jean and I only just met, but, uh,

647
00:33:27,709 --> 00:33:31,418
well, so far she tolerates me well enough,
so I guess there's hope.

648
00:33:31,918 --> 00:33:33,084
I'm a widow.

649
00:33:33,751 --> 00:33:37,584
So, this is my friend
Sergeant Roger Dearborn.

650
00:33:37,668 --> 00:33:39,043
[Roger] It's nice to meet you all.

651
00:33:40,584 --> 00:33:42,459
Jean said you wanted to talk to me?

652
00:33:42,543 --> 00:33:43,376
[flash bulb popping]

653
00:33:45,126 --> 00:33:47,251
Or you didn't want to talk to me.

654
00:33:47,334 --> 00:33:51,584
Uh, no, we did, because we were
discussing something, top-secret project.

655
00:33:51,668 --> 00:33:52,709
[Charles] A study.

656
00:33:53,501 --> 00:33:54,668
Profiling…

657
00:33:55,793 --> 00:33:57,793
American servicemen and how they might…

658
00:33:57,876 --> 00:33:59,709
[splutters] …integrate
with British troops.

659
00:34:00,668 --> 00:34:01,543
That's top-secret?

660
00:34:01,626 --> 00:34:03,834
The Nazis wreaked havoc
with the radio antenna.

661
00:34:03,918 --> 00:34:05,501
Well, I'm not sure what that has to do--

662
00:34:05,584 --> 00:34:09,084
What, what we're wondering is whether you
would care to participate in the project?

663
00:34:09,168 --> 00:34:11,084
It wouldn't take much time.
Just a few questions.

664
00:34:11,168 --> 00:34:12,626
Allow us to take your photograph.

665
00:34:12,709 --> 00:34:15,168
We could arrange for you
to come around to the Admiralty,

666
00:34:15,251 --> 00:34:16,293
say tomorrow.

667
00:34:17,793 --> 00:34:19,709
Go on. It'll be fun.

668
00:34:21,918 --> 00:34:23,834
-Okay, then.
-Very nice to meet you.

669
00:34:23,918 --> 00:34:25,293
-Thanks.
-So, I'll see you tomorrow.

670
00:34:25,376 --> 00:34:26,376
Hopefully, see you soon.

671
00:34:26,959 --> 00:34:28,959
What do you think? Well, he could do?

672
00:34:29,043 --> 00:34:32,251
-I know he's not a perfect match, but--
-A gift horse. He will do.

673
00:34:32,751 --> 00:34:33,834
A toast.

674
00:34:33,918 --> 00:34:36,126
To Pam, our secret weapon

675
00:34:36,209 --> 00:34:38,668
who's already managed
to see what we could not.

676
00:34:38,751 --> 00:34:39,793
[laughing]

677
00:34:40,876 --> 00:34:44,251
No, I think it was after university
that Bill took up the bass…

678
00:34:44,334 --> 00:34:45,626
[Ewen] I think it was trumpet.

679
00:34:45,709 --> 00:34:48,459
…which was frowned upon
by his mother, Antonia,

680
00:34:48,543 --> 00:34:52,584
a devout Catholic who at all times
kept a candle lit for Saint Jude.

681
00:34:52,668 --> 00:34:55,418
Every piece makes a whole.
A man is a mosaic.

682
00:34:57,209 --> 00:34:59,918
Will you wake your family
getting home so late?

683
00:35:00,876 --> 00:35:03,209
My wife is in America with the children.

684
00:35:03,709 --> 00:35:05,376
Hester told me just this morning

685
00:35:05,459 --> 00:35:08,668
she'd taken a job there,
with the British Security Coordination.

686
00:35:08,751 --> 00:35:10,293
Hester told you?

687
00:35:11,418 --> 00:35:15,126
May I just say I was
very sorry to hear of your husband.

688
00:35:15,793 --> 00:35:17,959
I've been alone for many years,

689
00:35:18,043 --> 00:35:22,001
which is why it pleases me
to see Bill and Pam so madly in love.

690
00:35:22,084 --> 00:35:24,793
Pam is very lucky
to have you cheering her on.

691
00:35:25,543 --> 00:35:26,626
And Bill, you.

692
00:35:29,584 --> 00:35:31,084
Thank you for walking with me.

693
00:35:31,168 --> 00:35:32,959
I can see you all the way up.

694
00:35:34,001 --> 00:35:36,251
Actually, I think I'll stay.

695
00:35:36,334 --> 00:35:37,584
What, in there?

696
00:35:37,668 --> 00:35:38,501
Alone?

697
00:35:39,293 --> 00:35:40,501
No, I couldn't possibly.

698
00:35:41,001 --> 00:35:43,751
I'm perfectly capable
of taking care of myself.

699
00:35:43,834 --> 00:35:45,293
Who would argue otherwise?

700
00:35:47,959 --> 00:35:50,126
It's Bill and Pam's favorite song.

701
00:35:51,334 --> 00:35:53,334
[big band music playing]

702
00:36:30,876 --> 00:36:32,459
[laughing]

703
00:36:37,334 --> 00:36:38,584
[Jean] Whoo!

704
00:36:41,084 --> 00:36:43,126
It was more like a lethal Lindy Hop.

705
00:36:43,209 --> 00:36:46,209
You flattened every male
of fighting age in the place.

706
00:36:46,709 --> 00:36:48,251
I was testing it out.

707
00:36:48,334 --> 00:36:50,751
Oh, a secret weapon against the Nazis.

708
00:36:51,334 --> 00:36:52,918
Pam's secret weapon.

709
00:36:53,418 --> 00:36:55,459
Her way of forgetting her woes.

710
00:36:55,543 --> 00:36:57,834
Major Martin will need
the stamina of an ox.

711
00:36:57,918 --> 00:36:58,751
[laughs]

712
00:37:00,501 --> 00:37:03,251
She's a surprising woman though,
isn't she? Pam?

713
00:37:04,251 --> 00:37:06,501
At a crossroads in her life, still young.

714
00:37:07,168 --> 00:37:10,209
Probably, hasn't quite found her stride.

715
00:37:10,709 --> 00:37:12,543
Is she younger than Bill?

716
00:37:12,626 --> 00:37:14,668
I hadn't pictured them that way.

717
00:37:14,751 --> 00:37:16,334
Well, Bill's hardly old.

718
00:37:17,709 --> 00:37:19,084
If you say so.

719
00:37:20,459 --> 00:37:24,709
What I think Pam sees in Bill
beyond the dashing figure he cuts

720
00:37:24,793 --> 00:37:26,459
when he walks into a room,

721
00:37:26,959 --> 00:37:28,293
is something deeper.

722
00:37:28,834 --> 00:37:30,834
And Bill suspects the same in her.

723
00:37:31,543 --> 00:37:34,834
But at first, all he sees
is a woman of fierce intelligence,

724
00:37:34,918 --> 00:37:37,584
uncommon grace,
a demon on the dance floor.

725
00:37:37,668 --> 00:37:39,584
[laughing]

726
00:37:39,668 --> 00:37:41,293
A woman ready to take wing.

727
00:37:41,793 --> 00:37:43,834
I think she's already on her way.

728
00:37:44,834 --> 00:37:46,084
A happy story.

729
00:37:46,168 --> 00:37:48,376
Except that he's off to war.

730
00:37:48,876 --> 00:37:50,501
Which is tomorrow's work.

731
00:37:51,084 --> 00:37:52,543
And I'll need your help.

732
00:37:55,168 --> 00:37:56,709
I'll wait here till you're in.

733
00:37:57,793 --> 00:37:59,709
I'll be fine. Thank you.

734
00:38:02,626 --> 00:38:03,543
Goodnight.

735
00:38:09,626 --> 00:38:12,251
[typewriter clacking]

736
00:38:12,918 --> 00:38:14,501
[Hester] Writing sample number five,

737
00:38:14,584 --> 00:38:17,209
standard blue-black,
in leather wallet, in pocket

738
00:38:17,293 --> 00:38:18,959
soaked overnight in seawater.

739
00:38:19,043 --> 00:38:20,209
Seawater from?

740
00:38:21,709 --> 00:38:22,918
It does matter, Hester.

741
00:38:23,001 --> 00:38:25,668
Disposal shut down the road
in all directions.

742
00:38:26,126 --> 00:38:28,751
A child found
an unexploded firebomb in her garden.

743
00:38:28,834 --> 00:38:30,168
Oh, dear God.

744
00:38:30,668 --> 00:38:32,043
No word from Bletchley?

745
00:38:32,126 --> 00:38:35,793
Nazi command still expects us
to launch a naval assault on Europe.

746
00:38:35,876 --> 00:38:38,584
They suspect a massive deception
operation is underway.

747
00:38:39,084 --> 00:38:41,918
They still believe Sicily
will be the target.

748
00:38:42,501 --> 00:38:45,126
So, two months of work
and we've managed to deceive the enemy

749
00:38:45,209 --> 00:38:47,001
of precisely nothing.

750
00:38:47,084 --> 00:38:50,959
The one bright spot is I found
a hydrographer. I'm meeting him now.

751
00:38:51,043 --> 00:38:53,126
Well, I hope it's not
Hespers from Naval Operations.

752
00:38:53,209 --> 00:38:55,376
The man is an incorrigible skirt chaser.

753
00:38:55,459 --> 00:38:56,834
My skirt can defend itself,

754
00:38:56,918 --> 00:38:59,293
but I could use your expertise, Commander.

755
00:38:59,376 --> 00:39:00,834
-[laughs]
-[Ewen] Very well.

756

Room 13.

758
00:39:06,209 --> 00:39:07,459
That is his rank,

759
00:39:08,793 --> 00:39:10,168
Lieutenant Commander.

760
00:39:10,251 --> 00:39:14,334
Of course. They were just less… formal
when I saw them a few weeks ago

761
00:39:15,001 --> 00:39:16,251
dancing at Rainbow Corner.

762
00:39:16,334 --> 00:39:19,709
-[woman 1] I saw them a few rows back…
-Lieutenant, Admiral Godfrey.

[phone rings]

765
00:39:24,084 --> 00:39:27,084
-Admiral.
-So, where are we with Mincemeat?

766
00:39:27,168 --> 00:39:29,043
[Charles] We're on a solid footing, sir.

767
00:39:29,668 --> 00:39:31,501
Yes, Major Martin is as real as you or I.

768
00:39:31,584 --> 00:39:33,209
He has hobbies,

769
00:39:33,293 --> 00:39:35,709
debts, a girl. They're-- They're to marry.
We have a ring, ha.

770
00:39:35,793 --> 00:39:36,626
Touching.

771
00:39:36,709 --> 00:39:39,084
We believe Major Martin
should be delivered by submarine

772
00:39:39,168 --> 00:39:41,293
rather than air-dropping
and risk dismemberment.

773
00:39:41,376 --> 00:39:44,418
And we are convinced that Spain is
still the best place to float him ashore,

774
00:39:44,918 --> 00:39:47,584
given the fascists' network there
and Spain's neutrality.

775
00:39:48,084 --> 00:39:51,084
And we believe
the plan is ready to present, sir,

776
00:39:51,168 --> 00:39:52,501
to the prime minister.

777
00:39:53,001 --> 00:39:54,001
I agree.

778
00:39:55,918 --> 00:39:56,751
You--

779
00:39:58,084 --> 00:40:00,001
Well, that's, uh, that's excellent news.

780
00:40:00,084 --> 00:40:02,126
I'll present it to
Churchill this afternoon.

781
00:40:02,918 --> 00:40:05,168
-I'll need a brief.
-Well, we've prepared one for you, sir.

782
00:40:05,251 --> 00:40:06,376
You'll be more than ready.

783
00:40:07,043 --> 00:40:10,168
And your partnership with Montagu. Please.

784
00:40:11,668 --> 00:40:13,001
How has that fared?

785
00:40:15,334 --> 00:40:17,001
Nothing short of first-rate, sir.

786
00:40:19,084 --> 00:40:21,459
Montagu and I think with one mind. We, um,

787
00:40:21,959 --> 00:40:23,459
we've developed a shorthand.

788
00:40:23,959 --> 00:40:25,293
Become good friends.

789
00:40:25,376 --> 00:40:27,501
Huh, So you've
met his brother, then? Ivor.

790
00:40:27,584 --> 00:40:29,668
No, no. Montagu rarely speaks of him.

791
00:40:31,084 --> 00:40:33,751
[inhales] Are you aware
he's a Communist sympathizer?

792
00:40:36,293 --> 00:40:39,209
Montagu's brother? That's absurd.

793
00:40:39,293 --> 00:40:41,501
[Godfrey] Our intelligence
suggests otherwise.

794
00:40:43,043 --> 00:40:45,626
Why would our intelligence
be watching Ivor Montagu?

795
00:40:49,668 --> 00:40:53,543
[inhales] Whatever Ivor may or may not be,

796
00:40:54,959 --> 00:40:56,334
his brother would be unaware of it.

797
00:40:58,209 --> 00:41:01,084
It's always sound policy
to keep one's ear to the ground,

798
00:41:01,168 --> 00:41:02,168
don't you think?

799
00:41:06,293 --> 00:41:07,209
[Godfrey] Thank you.

800
00:41:09,501 --> 00:41:12,084
I shall look forward to good news
from the prime minister, sir.

801
00:41:15,126 --> 00:41:18,668
I only mention it because Charles
asked me out to dinner tonight.

802
00:41:18,751 --> 00:41:20,459
Did you invite him to join us?

803
00:41:20,543 --> 00:41:22,251
I didn't say I was going with you.

804
00:41:22,334 --> 00:41:24,376
I sense he'd be upset somehow.

805
00:41:24,459 --> 00:41:26,876
[Ewen] That's silly.
The man's not a child.

806
00:41:26,959 --> 00:41:28,709
Oh, I almost forgot.

807
00:41:30,668 --> 00:41:31,626
What do you think?

808
00:41:32,293 --> 00:41:33,293
It's beautiful.

809
00:41:33,793 --> 00:41:35,751
Charles and I
ducked out at lunch yesterday.

810
00:41:35,834 --> 00:41:38,584
He preferred the round cut,
but I prevailed with the marquise.

811
00:41:39,376 --> 00:41:40,293
Let's see it on.

812
00:41:46,959 --> 00:41:49,543
The only place
this belongs is in the safe.

813
00:41:50,043 --> 00:41:51,043
Admiralty property.

814
00:41:51,126 --> 00:41:52,459
Yes, of course.

815
00:41:53,459 --> 00:41:54,626
You think Pam will like it?

816
00:41:56,043 --> 00:41:57,126
I think she might.

817
00:41:59,334 --> 00:42:01,334
[pensive music playing]

818
00:42:03,334 --> 00:42:05,334
[indistinct chatter]

819
00:42:08,043 --> 00:42:09,501
[Charles] This should be in the safe.

820
00:42:11,501 --> 00:42:13,959
Yes, I was about to put it back.

821
00:42:14,043 --> 00:42:15,709
I wanted to show it to Jean.

822
00:42:16,751 --> 00:42:18,084
You gave it to Jean?

823
00:42:18,168 --> 00:42:19,918
I showed it to her.

824
00:42:20,501 --> 00:42:22,168
I wanted to see what she thought of it.

825
00:42:22,876 --> 00:42:24,626
If you're so concerned,
stow it away yourself.

826
00:42:24,709 --> 00:42:28,126
In matters of protocol,
it seems bad practice,

827
00:42:28,626 --> 00:42:31,834
sloppy even,
for us to be going off as separate pairs.

828
00:42:31,918 --> 00:42:33,251
Like you and Godfrey.

829
00:42:33,876 --> 00:42:35,751
He called you in alone just now,
didn't he?

830
00:42:35,834 --> 00:42:37,001
Why was that?

831
00:42:37,501 --> 00:42:38,876
Godfrey is only happy when he's

832
00:42:38,959 --> 00:42:41,001
stirring up suspicion and discord,
as you well know.

833
00:42:41,084 --> 00:42:43,001
-[Hester] Room 13.
-[phone ringing]

834
00:42:43,084 --> 00:42:44,376
Bentley Purchase for you.

835
00:42:45,959 --> 00:42:47,209
Yes, Bentley, what is it?

836
00:42:48,084 --> 00:42:49,876
[Bentley] We've had an unexpected visitor.

837
00:42:51,793 --> 00:42:54,376
Ms. Michael heard of
her brother's passing from

838
00:42:54,876 --> 00:42:56,126
Stafford Hospital.

839
00:42:56,751 --> 00:43:00,168
A kindly nurse who cared for him then
took it upon herself to find his kin.

840
00:43:01,209 --> 00:43:02,209
God bless her.

841
00:43:05,126 --> 00:43:09,418
-Please accept our deepest--
-We only had each other… you know?

842
00:43:11,584 --> 00:43:13,584
He needed looking after, Glynnie.

843
00:43:14,709 --> 00:43:17,043
[inhales] But I let him go to London.

844
00:43:17,126 --> 00:43:18,793
[rain pattering outside]

845
00:43:18,876 --> 00:43:19,793
And then I…

846
00:43:22,334 --> 00:43:23,334
[sobs]

847
00:43:23,834 --> 00:43:24,918
[Churchill] Stamps,

tickets,

849
00:43:28,668 --> 00:43:30,209
an unwrapped mint?

850
00:43:30,293 --> 00:43:33,168
-It's called wallet litter, sir.
-Yes, I know what it is.

851
00:43:33,251 --> 00:43:34,543
But it's the letters in the case

852
00:43:34,626 --> 00:43:36,334
that are key to this deception,
are they not?

853
00:43:36,418 --> 00:43:37,251
They are.

854
00:43:38,168 --> 00:43:39,418
Military correspondence

855
00:43:40,251 --> 00:43:42,418
indicating that we will invade Greece

856
00:43:43,084 --> 00:43:44,876
while hinting
that our cover plan is Sicily.

857
00:43:44,959 --> 00:43:45,793
Yes.

858
00:43:46,543 --> 00:43:48,501
The brief contains
details of the correspondence.

859
00:43:48,584 --> 00:43:51,751
What happens when the ink
washes off as the letter bobs in the sea?

860
00:43:52,584 --> 00:43:54,709
They need to use waterproof ink.

861
00:43:54,793 --> 00:43:57,626
Only someone planning to drown
writes in waterproof ink.

862
00:43:58,793 --> 00:43:59,626
Yes,

863
00:43:59,709 --> 00:44:00,834
that's true. But, uh--

864
00:44:00,918 --> 00:44:03,584
A detail your men clearly understand
as they state here that,

865
00:44:04,084 --> 00:44:07,918
"Further testing of undetectable
waterproof inks remains to be done."

866
00:44:08,418 --> 00:44:09,459
[makes kiss sounds]

867
00:44:10,251 --> 00:44:12,584
Yes, good boy.
[makes kissing sounds] Come on.

868
00:44:13,751 --> 00:44:16,293
Given how little you
appreciate of this plan, Admiral,

869
00:44:16,793 --> 00:44:18,959
Rufus and I wonder
why you're endorsing it at all.

870
00:44:19,043 --> 00:44:21,501
I am not endorsing it, Prime Minister.

871
00:44:22,459 --> 00:44:25,459
My advice is that Mincemeat is killed
before it sees the light of day.

872
00:44:26,501 --> 00:44:28,709
Our other deception plans are strategies

873
00:44:29,209 --> 00:44:31,543
designed to confuse the enemy,
throw him off balance.

874
00:44:31,626 --> 00:44:33,668
Mincemeat, on the other hand,
is an outright lie.

875
00:44:33,751 --> 00:44:37,418
A lie that, if detected, would expose
every single other deception as false.

876
00:44:37,501 --> 00:44:40,251
The Germans would know
unequivocally we were landing in Sicily.

877
00:44:40,334 --> 00:44:41,584
I think that's too big a risk.

878
00:44:42,376 --> 00:44:45,626
Nonetheless, I would like to
keep Mincemeat running a little longer.

879
00:44:46,126 --> 00:44:50,418
It may yield intelligence on Ivor Montagu,
whom we suspect is a Russian spy.

880
00:44:50,501 --> 00:44:54,793
You will put the fate of one Russian spy
over tens of thousands in Sicily?

881
00:44:54,876 --> 00:44:57,918
With respect, Prime Minister,
I'm trying to look at the bigger picture.

882
00:44:58,418 --> 00:45:00,418
Russia may be our ally at the moment,

883
00:45:00,501 --> 00:45:02,543
but she was until recently
in a pact with Germany.

884
00:45:03,126 --> 00:45:05,626
I believe she will soon
be our enemy again.

885
00:45:05,709 --> 00:45:08,126
If Ivor Montagu is spying for Moscow,

886
00:45:08,876 --> 00:45:12,168
he can be turned,
or if necessary, eliminated.

887
00:45:12,251 --> 00:45:14,834
This is the problem
when one is dealing with spooks.

888
00:45:15,418 --> 00:45:16,418
You do see it.

889
00:45:16,918 --> 00:45:18,626
The corkscrew thinking required

890
00:45:18,709 --> 00:45:21,918
to manage spies
sometimes twists one too many turns

891
00:45:22,668 --> 00:45:25,084
until one finds oneself charging forward

892
00:45:25,168 --> 00:45:27,626
while at the same time
looking out of one's own ass.

893
00:45:27,709 --> 00:45:30,418
I assume you're referring to me.

894
00:45:30,501 --> 00:45:32,168
Russia is tomorrow's war.

895
00:45:33,709 --> 00:45:35,709
The Nazis are expecting a deception,

896
00:45:36,501 --> 00:45:39,418
which means that our effort
must be unbelievable enough

897
00:45:39,501 --> 00:45:40,584
to make it believable.

898
00:45:40,668 --> 00:45:43,543
The plan is risky.
It's also highly implausible.

899
00:45:44,459 --> 00:45:46,251
Meaning that all the reasons
it shouldn't work

900
00:45:46,334 --> 00:45:48,876
are the same reasons
the Germans might believe it's true.

901
00:45:48,959 --> 00:45:50,293
So, when can it be ready?

902
00:45:50,376 --> 00:45:51,209
Uh…

903
00:45:52,084 --> 00:45:53,543
-Immediately?
-Correct.

904
00:45:54,084 --> 00:45:55,418
Gather your resources.

905
00:45:55,918 --> 00:45:58,126
Put Mincemeat in the works as of now.

906
00:45:58,626 --> 00:45:59,793
[Godfrey] Of course, sir.

907
00:46:06,793 --> 00:46:08,793
Do you think we can get him buried soon?

908
00:46:09,959 --> 00:46:12,543
But-- Not that anyone's
waiting for me at home,

909
00:46:12,626 --> 00:46:14,793
but a simple service might be nice.

910
00:46:14,876 --> 00:46:17,334
The truth is Glyndwr is employed now.

911
00:46:19,543 --> 00:46:21,918
-Employed?
-In the service of his country.

912
00:46:23,959 --> 00:46:24,876
He's not dead?

913
00:46:24,959 --> 00:46:26,751
[Charles] He is engaged in a

914
00:46:27,334 --> 00:46:28,918
top-secret mission.

915
00:46:29,001 --> 00:46:30,751
As what?

916
00:46:32,334 --> 00:46:34,459
You do know that Glynnie
was never right in the head.

917
00:46:34,543 --> 00:46:36,001
Well, that

918
00:46:36,751 --> 00:46:38,543
may be your experience of

919
00:46:39,043 --> 00:46:41,043
Glyndwr, but, um, [clicks tongue]

920
00:46:41,543 --> 00:46:42,959
people are often

921
00:46:43,584 --> 00:46:45,084
one way with family, a…

922
00:46:46,043 --> 00:46:47,959
different way entirely out in the world.

923
00:46:48,043 --> 00:46:50,084
One minute Jekyll, the next, Hyde.

924
00:46:50,584 --> 00:46:51,459
[inhales] Where is he?

925
00:46:51,543 --> 00:46:53,251
We have Churchill's approval.

926
00:46:55,543 --> 00:46:57,126
As you just heard, Ms. Michael,

927
00:46:57,709 --> 00:47:00,543
the prime minister has approved
the plan to make your brother a hero.

928
00:47:01,376 --> 00:47:04,418
We, we do understand
that this is the most enormous sacrifice.

929
00:47:05,126 --> 00:47:07,959
But his service, he-- he can save

930
00:47:08,459 --> 00:47:10,793
literally thousands,
tens of thousands of lives.

931
00:47:10,876 --> 00:47:12,251
What did you do to him?

932
00:47:13,168 --> 00:47:15,668
Did you carve him up for experiments

933
00:47:16,168 --> 00:47:17,043
or rations?

934
00:47:17,543 --> 00:47:20,876
[inhales] Maybe you should tell the police
about what you did to my brother.

935
00:47:20,959 --> 00:47:24,084
Ms. Michael,
in acknowledgment of his service

936
00:47:24,876 --> 00:47:28,834
and empowered by his Majesty's
government and by Glyndwr himself,

937
00:47:29,334 --> 00:47:31,376
it is my honor to offer you this

938
00:47:32,126 --> 00:47:33,584
generous remuneration.

939
00:47:34,626 --> 00:47:37,084
-You're bribing me.
-Your brother is going to war.

940
00:47:38,293 --> 00:47:40,334
He's trying to do
the right thing for his country.

941
00:47:40,418 --> 00:47:44,168
His country is trying to do
the right thing by you.

942
00:47:44,251 --> 00:47:45,501
Please.

943
00:47:46,418 --> 00:47:48,001
[intense music playing]

944
00:47:48,959 --> 00:47:53,209
May Glynnie's poor
suffering soul rest in peace.

945
00:47:55,043 --> 00:47:55,918
No thanks to you.

946
00:47:58,126 --> 00:48:00,376
[music intensifies]

947
00:48:01,334 --> 00:48:02,584
May God forgive us all.

948
00:48:05,334 --> 00:48:06,626
[Ainsworth] I miss Spain already.

949
00:48:06,709 --> 00:48:09,168
There's a reason we stay
as far from headquarters as possible.

950
00:48:09,251 --> 00:48:11,334
Yes, we envy you daily.

951
00:48:11,418 --> 00:48:13,168
[Ian] I must congratulate you, if I may,

952
00:48:13,251 --> 00:48:15,459
Captain Ainsworth, on The Night Starling.

953
00:48:15,543 --> 00:48:17,334
I grabbed a copy at Hatchards yesterday.

954
00:48:17,418 --> 00:48:18,834
I have not been able to put it down.

955
00:48:18,918 --> 00:48:21,334
My God, who isn't writing a novel?

956
00:48:21,418 --> 00:48:26,501
Admiral, our naval attaché in Madrid,
Captain Ainsworth, is here today.

957
00:48:27,084 --> 00:48:30,376
And this is assistant naval attaché,
also from Madrid,

958
00:48:30,459 --> 00:48:31,751
Lieutenant Commander Gomez-Beare.

959
00:48:31,834 --> 00:48:33,168
Captain. Commander.

960
00:48:33,751 --> 00:48:35,584
Good to know
we can still reel you gentlemen in

961
00:48:35,668 --> 00:48:37,293
from our far-flung outposts.

962
00:48:37,376 --> 00:48:40,459
Montagu and Cholmondeley
will run the briefing today.

963
00:48:40,543 --> 00:48:44,251
The operation is theirs, and being theirs,
is now theirs to fuck up.

964
00:48:47,126 --> 00:48:48,834
[Gomez-Beare] Quite a vote of confidence.

965
00:48:50,376 --> 00:48:54,459
[Ewen] Our story begins
in the Spanish fishing port of Huelva

966
00:48:54,543 --> 00:48:55,876
on the Gulf of Cadiz,

967
00:48:55,959 --> 00:48:58,043
where Major William Martin,

968
00:48:58,126 --> 00:49:00,959
a British officer
bearing classified letters,

969
00:49:01,043 --> 00:49:05,376
will wash up on shore
after his plane has been tragically lost.

970
00:49:06,293 --> 00:49:09,084
The officer is not an officer.
The papers are false.

971
00:49:09,584 --> 00:49:11,793
The plane crash will not have occurred.

972
00:49:12,293 --> 00:49:15,543
Instead, we will release
our man from a submarine

973
00:49:16,334 --> 00:49:17,793
in order to exploit

974
00:49:17,876 --> 00:49:20,126
the Nazi spy trail,
which begins in Huelva,

975
00:49:20,209 --> 00:49:22,001
Don Gomez-Beare's territory,

976
00:49:22,084 --> 00:49:24,876
and then moves to Madrid,
Captain Ainsworth's turf,

977
00:49:24,959 --> 00:49:27,834
and ends in the heart
of German intelligence,

978
00:49:27,918 --> 00:49:29,793
the Abwehr in Berlin.

979
00:49:30,293 --> 00:49:33,459
We will need to move
these fake documents quickly

980
00:49:33,543 --> 00:49:36,168
with the help
of two key German operatives,

981
00:49:36,251 --> 00:49:38,543
Karl Kuhlenthal in Madrid

982
00:49:38,626 --> 00:49:41,834
and his right-hand man
in Huelva, Adolf Clauss.

983
00:49:41,918 --> 00:49:44,251
Clauss is an exceptional spy,

984
00:49:44,334 --> 00:49:46,668
and if a body
washes up in Huelva with papers,

985
00:49:46,751 --> 00:49:49,334
Adolf Clauss
will get his hands on those papers.

986
00:49:49,834 --> 00:49:53,543
Clauss reports
to Karl Kuhlenthal in Madrid,

987
00:49:53,626 --> 00:49:56,251
where Kuhlenthal is seen
as a golden boy by the Abwehr.

988
00:49:56,334 --> 00:50:00,959
But MI5 have found Kuhlenthal
to be a one-man espionage disaster.

989
00:50:01,043 --> 00:50:04,168
Gullible, incompetent,
and he happens to be one-quarter Jewish,

990
00:50:04,751 --> 00:50:08,418
where under Hitler's regime,
even a drop of Jewish blood means death.

991
00:50:08,918 --> 00:50:10,001
[speaking German]

992
00:50:10,084 --> 00:50:14,251
[Ewen] Although luckily for Kuhlenthal,
he was recently cleared as a good German.

993
00:50:14,751 --> 00:50:17,001
But he is now desperate
to impress his superiors

994
00:50:17,084 --> 00:50:20,084
before Berlin remembers
that he is Jewish after all.

995
00:50:20,168 --> 00:50:22,918
So, we need Clauss
because he is a good spy

996
00:50:23,001 --> 00:50:27,209
and will get the papers,
Kuhlenthal because he is a bad one

997
00:50:27,293 --> 00:50:28,876
and will believe them.

998
00:50:29,376 --> 00:50:32,709
Together, they ensure the best chance
that our documents will land in Berlin.

999
00:50:32,793 --> 00:50:35,501
Where success
depends on another key figure,

1000
00:50:36,001 --> 00:50:40,418
Hitler's favorite adviser,
Colonel Alexis von Roenne.

1001
00:50:41,168 --> 00:50:44,501
Von Roenne controls military
intelligence at Nazi High Command,

1002
00:50:44,584 --> 00:50:47,543
and Hitler will not believe anything
without Von Roenne's blessing,

1003
00:50:48,043 --> 00:50:51,418
which is a challenge for us
because Von Roenne is brilliant.

1004
00:50:51,501 --> 00:50:52,793
A real spy's spy.

1005
00:50:53,543 --> 00:50:56,793
-Though, there have been rumors…
-And at this point, only rumors.

1006
00:50:56,876 --> 00:50:59,001
…that Von Roenne
has turned against the Fuhrer,

1007
00:50:59,793 --> 00:51:02,501
and that he
and a group of anti-Nazi plotters

1008
00:51:02,584 --> 00:51:05,293
are trying to destroy
the Nazi war machine from within.

1009
00:51:05,793 --> 00:51:09,126
We've heard rumblings
of this anti-Hitler faction before.

1010
00:51:09,751 --> 00:51:13,251
We judge it to be a ruse
to infiltrate our inner circle,

1011
00:51:13,334 --> 00:51:14,918
so we will proceed as planned.

1012
00:51:15,001 --> 00:51:18,626
The prime minister wants all resources
employed to make Mincemeat so convincing

1013
00:51:18,709 --> 00:51:22,334
that Von Roenne believes it,
Hitler believes it, and even we believe

1014
00:51:22,834 --> 00:51:24,543
we are landing in Greece.

1015
00:51:24,626 --> 00:51:27,959
To that end, we are preparing
the fake documents for the briefcase now.

1016
00:51:28,043 --> 00:51:28,959
[typewriter clacking]

1017
00:51:29,043 --> 00:51:33,418
The key one being an off-the-record letter
between Generals Nye and Alexander,

1018
00:51:33,501 --> 00:51:37,209
and in that letter,
the lie about Greece is planted.

1019
00:51:37,834 --> 00:51:40,501
Of course we'll get
our letter approved tomorrow,

1020
00:51:40,584 --> 00:51:43,709
but you simply must sit on Q Branch

1021
00:51:44,584 --> 00:51:47,376
to deliver our canister,
and then on to the submarine.

1022
00:51:49,001 --> 00:51:52,668
-Dear God, what about the submarine?
-"How are you getting on with Eisenhower?"

1023
00:51:52,751 --> 00:51:55,834
Cut and dried.
The letter must have a natural tone.

1024
00:51:55,918 --> 00:51:58,001
"Hope all is well.
The General sends his best."

1025
00:51:58,084 --> 00:52:00,418
Hmm, can't have them
cackling like two hens.

1026
00:52:00,501 --> 00:52:02,584
Archie Nye and Harold Alexander
are old friends.

1027
00:52:02,668 --> 00:52:04,959
I've had letters
from the bank manager with more zing.

1028
00:52:05,043 --> 00:52:06,168
It's a first draft.

1029
00:52:07,168 --> 00:52:11,001
And we can't allow personal flourishes
to distract from the military

1030
00:52:11,084 --> 00:52:13,043
misinformation we need Hitler to swallow.

1031
00:52:13,126 --> 00:52:15,251
No, unless we want to
bore him to death first.

1032
00:52:16,209 --> 00:52:19,418
And now, Hester has asked me

1090
00:54:49,543 --> 00:54:52,918
is whether or not your submarine
could accommodate a 6-foot thermos?

1091
00:54:53,001 --> 00:54:54,668
Well, technically, I suppose.

1092

But my crew on the Seraph are a sharp lot.
What would I tell them?

Tell them it contains a top-secret
meteorological reporting apparatus.

Sounds like the stuff of fiction.

General Nye can't be
made to sound like a scrounger,

1101
00:55:21,334 --> 00:55:23,293
even to the Germans.
Especially to the Germans.

1102
00:55:23,376 --> 00:55:25,584
[Ewen] But he does need
to sound like a human,

rather artfully achieved.

of this preposterous stalemate

00:56:14,251 --> 00:56:17,709
And the general was only too happy
to put pen to paper once I asked.

1121

Far be it for me to point out,

1122
00:56:19,751 --> 00:56:22,834
but his version is a near carbon copy
of my very first draft.

and for you to go directly to Nye--

Whatever punishment you deem fit, sir,
I will fully accept.

why we hadn't come to him straight away.

with the chain of command,

01:01:26,751 --> 01:01:27,876
Fold the letter,

1201
01:01:28,459 --> 01:01:30,584
but each fold only once.

1202
01:01:31,543 --> 01:01:34,626
Then we'll photograph the folds.
If the letter is returned,

1203
01:01:35,126 --> 01:01:37,751
the wear to the fibers will show
whether or not it's been opened.

1204
01:01:38,959 --> 01:01:41,293
Then the eyelash idea,
which is a good one.

1205
01:01:41,376 --> 01:01:42,834
What eyelash idea?

1206
01:01:42,918 --> 01:01:44,793
We place an eyelash in the fold.

1207
01:01:45,293 --> 01:01:48,751
If the lash is gone upon return, well,
it's another sign the letter's been read.

1208
01:01:50,334 --> 01:01:53,584
[Ewen] The bigger worry is ensuring
that the letter arrives in Berlin.

1209
01:01:53,668 --> 01:01:55,293
[flashbulbs popping]

1210
01:01:55,376 --> 01:01:57,543
If it lands with the Spanish Navy,
there's a good chance

1211
01:01:57,626 --> 01:02:00,126
they could return it to us
unopened and unread.

1212
01:02:00,209 --> 01:02:02,209
That's if the letter arrives
in Spain at all.

1213
01:02:03,293 --> 01:02:04,543
It's a big sea.

1214
01:02:04,626 --> 01:02:07,209
Many detours await one little briefcase.

1215
01:02:09,084 --> 01:02:10,168
Pam's letter?

1216
01:02:13,084 --> 01:02:14,543
New love, so…

1217
01:02:16,084 --> 01:02:18,418
handled, worn.

1218
01:02:20,043 --> 01:02:21,168
And the photograph?

1219
01:02:27,793 --> 01:02:29,084
And the briefcase?

1220
01:02:30,334 --> 01:02:32,334
[piano music continues]

1221
01:02:45,084 --> 01:02:46,918
Let's slide him in and seal him up.

1222
01:02:58,751 --> 01:03:00,793
He doesn't look like a driver for MI5.

1223
01:03:01,293 --> 01:03:03,043
Looks like Errol Flynn.

1224
01:03:03,126 --> 01:03:05,626
And what drink is he on, his fifth?

1225
01:03:05,709 --> 01:03:06,751
[Hester] Sixth, I think.

1226
01:03:06,834 --> 01:03:09,418
Last round, Teddy,
and then we really must cut him off.

1227
01:03:09,501 --> 01:03:11,959
[Hester] It'll be
an interesting drive to Scotland.

1228
01:03:13,209 --> 01:03:15,459
You should give Jock Horsfall a wink.

1229
01:03:15,959 --> 01:03:18,251
He may be pickled, but he's also single.

1230
01:03:18,751 --> 01:03:20,751
Except, you're seeing Roger.

1231
01:03:22,084 --> 01:03:24,501
No, I haven't seen much of Roger,

1232
01:03:24,584 --> 01:03:26,334
[hesitates] now we're so busy.

1233
01:03:27,334 --> 01:03:29,876
-We were just friends.
-Ah, oh well.

1234
01:03:30,543 --> 01:03:31,584
His loss.

1235
01:03:32,584 --> 01:03:33,584
See you tomorrow.

1236
01:03:42,293 --> 01:03:43,418
[Ewen] So, Jock,

1237
01:03:43,501 --> 01:03:46,043
how many times
have you made the trip to Holy Loch?

1238
01:03:46,126 --> 01:03:48,126
Oh, I can do it with my eyes closed.

1239
01:03:48,668 --> 01:03:52,376
I sometimes have to if my
astigmatism is playing up. [chuckles]

1240
01:03:52,459 --> 01:03:54,376
But dead of night's a jolly time to drive,

1241
01:03:54,459 --> 01:03:59,043
and you'll have my van. Customized V8.
She can run upwards of 125 miles per hour.

1242
01:03:59,126 --> 01:04:00,668
I was there, you know, when you thrashed

1243
01:04:00,751 --> 01:04:02,834
those six BMWs at Donington Park.

1244
01:04:03,334 --> 01:04:04,959
That was my Black Car.

1245
01:04:05,043 --> 01:04:08,459
MI5 made me garage her

1246
01:04:08,959 --> 01:04:11,459
now that I'm an official chauffeur.

1247
01:04:12,459 --> 01:04:14,293
They say she's a menace on the road.

1248
01:04:17,168 --> 01:04:19,126
But I do miss her. [sighs]

1249
01:04:19,209 --> 01:04:21,918
[sobs]

1250
01:04:23,209 --> 01:04:25,084
[jazz playing]

1251
01:04:25,168 --> 01:04:26,293
I'll give you a moment.

1252
01:04:29,418 --> 01:04:33,793
[sniffs] So, this tin can of yours.
What's in it?

1253
01:04:34,376 --> 01:04:36,626
Hmm? Oh, optical equipment.

1254
01:04:36,709 --> 01:04:37,543
Bollocks.

1255
01:04:39,084 --> 01:04:41,376
Do you know how high my clearance goes?

1256
01:04:42,376 --> 01:04:43,334
It's a dead body.

1257
01:04:44,834 --> 01:04:47,376
We're going to play
a humiliating trick on Hitler.

1258
01:04:49,376 --> 01:04:51,376
[laughs]

1259
01:04:52,459 --> 01:04:55,959
-Is he even capable of driving now?
-I fear we're about to find out.

1260
01:04:57,834 --> 01:04:58,959
Anyway, um,

1261
01:04:59,584 --> 01:05:01,793
since it's Major Martin's last night.

1262
01:05:04,918 --> 01:05:06,918
[music continues]

1263
01:05:07,793 --> 01:05:14,751
[Jock humming, scatting to melody]

1264
01:05:21,959 --> 01:05:26,334
Seems strange, doesn't it?
Sending our dear Major off to die?

1265
01:05:26,876 --> 01:05:28,959
You do know he's already dead. [chuckles]

1266
01:05:29,043 --> 01:05:32,459
In a way, yes, but in another,
he's very much alive,

1267
01:05:32,543 --> 01:05:34,543
our clever, dashing man.

1268
01:05:35,376 --> 01:05:37,876
Which is why I'd like
to thank you, Charles.

1269
01:05:37,959 --> 01:05:39,793
It's been a grand adventure.

1270
01:05:40,293 --> 01:05:41,334
For the two of you.

1271
01:05:42,543 --> 01:05:43,834
For all of us.

1272
01:05:46,876 --> 01:05:48,709
We gave Bill a life.

1273
01:05:49,584 --> 01:05:51,876
One Glyndwr Michael never had.

1274
01:05:51,959 --> 01:05:53,543
We gave him Pam.

1275
01:05:57,209 --> 01:05:58,334
I wanted Pam.

1276
01:06:02,584 --> 01:06:03,626
I only mean

1277
01:06:05,043 --> 01:06:08,751
that our imaginings
often surpass what is real, don't they?

1278
01:06:11,584 --> 01:06:14,043
I come home every night to a bereft mother

1279
01:06:14,126 --> 01:06:15,959
pining for her favorite son.

1280
01:06:16,584 --> 01:06:18,251
Hester lives the spinster's life,

1281
01:06:18,751 --> 01:06:21,043
working around the clock
rather than face an empty bed.

1282
01:06:22,751 --> 01:06:24,793
Ewen's real life is off in America,

1283
01:06:25,334 --> 01:06:27,709
where he must worry
about the safety of his wife and children

1284
01:06:27,793 --> 01:06:28,918
until they return.

1285
01:06:30,668 --> 01:06:32,209
Or did he not mention that to you?

1286
01:06:33,959 --> 01:06:36,543
He said something about America.

1287
01:06:41,626 --> 01:06:42,626
It's all a game

1288
01:06:43,126 --> 01:06:44,543
to him, you know?

1289
01:06:45,043 --> 01:06:46,293
You do know that.

1290
01:06:46,376 --> 01:06:47,209
All the

1291
01:06:48,168 --> 01:06:50,168
dinners and dancing.

1292
01:06:51,584 --> 01:06:52,876
Not that I blame him.

1293
01:06:53,793 --> 01:06:56,918
Who wouldn't want the attentions
of a beautiful woman? But, um…

1294
01:06:58,584 --> 01:07:02,709
There's even talk of Ewen
joining Iris and the children in America.

1295
01:07:03,501 --> 01:07:06,001
Family should be together during wartime,

1296
01:07:06,501 --> 01:07:07,709
don't you think?

1297
01:07:09,626 --> 01:07:12,501
I think I stepped on your toe.

1298
01:07:13,251 --> 01:07:15,418
Oh, well, at least it wasn't me for once.

1299
01:07:15,501 --> 01:07:17,626
Got such a busy day tomorrow. [sniffs]

1300
01:07:17,709 --> 01:07:19,043
I really must go.

1301
01:07:30,543 --> 01:07:31,376
Jean.

1302
01:07:32,043 --> 01:07:34,626
-Jean, you're not leaving.
-I am, obviously.

1303
01:07:34,709 --> 01:07:35,543
But why?

1304
01:07:36,501 --> 01:07:38,001
Jean, what just happened?

1305
01:07:38,084 --> 01:07:42,918
I have been overcome
with embarrassment at my own stupidity.

1306
01:07:43,418 --> 01:07:46,251
This game we've been playing.

1307
01:07:46,751 --> 01:07:49,293
Bill and Pam, the young lovers,
as if you and I were--

1308
01:07:50,043 --> 01:07:52,418
as if this weren't a real war.

1309
01:07:54,168 --> 01:07:56,793
Do you not realize
people are talking about us?

1310
01:07:56,876 --> 01:07:58,126
Is this about gossip?

1311
01:07:59,251 --> 01:08:01,001
What-- what does it matter
what people say?

1312
01:08:01,084 --> 01:08:02,793
We both know there's
nothing going on here.

1313
01:08:05,459 --> 01:08:07,251
I don't-- I don't mean nothing, as in…

1314
01:08:10,168 --> 01:08:14,043
I left behind childish games
many years ago, Ewen.

1315
01:08:14,959 --> 01:08:16,959
The day I buried the man I loved.

1316
01:08:19,376 --> 01:08:22,376
And while my life
may not look like much to you,

1317
01:08:22,459 --> 01:08:25,418
I have made my way, alone

1318
01:08:26,001 --> 01:08:28,876
with the occasional
admirer to pass the time.

1319
01:08:31,084 --> 01:08:32,418
It's certainly easier

1320
01:08:33,793 --> 01:08:34,668
and safer.

1321
01:08:35,334 --> 01:08:36,168
So…

1322
01:08:39,334 --> 01:08:41,084
You'll be late for your drive,

1323
01:08:41,876 --> 01:08:43,084
and I'm going home.

1324
01:08:49,376 --> 01:08:51,376
[somber music playing]

No dallying, ladies.

1327
01:09:00,834 --> 01:09:02,376
We've a clock to beat.

1328
01:09:02,459 --> 01:09:05,543
And we'll have to feel our way along,
thanks to the blackout.

1329
01:09:06,626 --> 01:09:08,501
I saw you talking to Jean tonight.

1330
01:09:09,376 --> 01:09:10,418
What were you saying?

1331
01:09:10,501 --> 01:09:11,626
I was apologizing

1332
01:09:12,126 --> 01:09:13,293
for my dancing.

1333
01:09:17,709 --> 01:09:20,084
It's easier to accept death
when you can't see it coming.

1334

[engine starting, truck screeching away]

[Jock yells unintelligibly]

1337
01:09:58,668 --> 01:09:59,584
It's curious

1338
01:10:01,376 --> 01:10:02,459
about your brother.

1339
01:10:03,376 --> 01:10:04,251
My brother?

1340
01:10:05,543 --> 01:10:08,418
You never speak of him.
He does live with you, doesn't he?

1341
01:10:10,668 --> 01:10:11,751
He travels mostly.

1342
01:10:12,793 --> 01:10:15,168
Although, I'm not sure
why that's any of your business.

1343
01:10:16,251 --> 01:10:18,876
Or why you would
say something to upset Jean tonight.

1344
01:10:21,459 --> 01:10:23,959
Godfrey thinks Ivor's a communist.

1345
01:10:24,543 --> 01:10:27,501
-You've spoken to Godfrey about Ivor?
-[Charles] Godfrey brought him up.

1346
01:10:29,251 --> 01:10:31,376
Well, Godfrey despises eccentrics.

1347
01:10:32,126 --> 01:10:33,918
Aren't all spies eccentrics?

1348
01:10:34,418 --> 01:10:36,126
Ivor is a dilettante,

1349
01:10:36,209 --> 01:10:40,043
an inveterate ne'er-do-well who founded
the Cheese Eaters League in Cambridge

1350
01:10:40,126 --> 01:10:42,876
and the International
Table Tennis Federation in London.

1351
01:10:43,876 --> 01:10:45,376
And his trips to Moscow?

1352
01:10:46,876 --> 01:10:48,918
My brother joined
the British Socialist Party

1353
01:10:49,001 --> 01:10:52,626
for five minutes, about as long as
his interest in anything lasts.

Excellent timing!

1358

Well ahead of schedule.

1359

But then I'd expect nothing less
from his Majesty's finest.

Finest what?

somewhere near Dumfries.

And good news, Lieutenant.

1364

I was able to honor your request.

Much appreciated.
I know it was last-minute. Thank you.

1366

What request?

1367
01:11:47,876 --> 01:11:50,709
Jewell was good enough
to find me a bunk on the Seraph.

1368
01:11:50,793 --> 01:11:52,459
What do you mean "on the Seraph"?

1369
01:11:52,543 --> 01:11:55,709
Someone should accompany Major Martin
to his final resting place.

1370
01:11:55,793 --> 01:11:58,751
-That would be Spain.
-Yes, where the Seraph is headed.

1371
01:11:59,251 --> 01:12:00,543
Are you out of your mind?

1372
01:12:00,626 --> 01:12:02,751
We didn't get clearance
to go to Spain with him.

1373
01:12:02,834 --> 01:12:03,876
We didn't even discuss it.

1374
01:12:03,959 --> 01:12:08,001
Don't you think that one of us should show
some respect for a man who gave his life

1375
01:12:08,084 --> 01:12:10,668
and who now serves us
and his country so nobly?

1376
01:12:10,751 --> 01:12:12,001
If unwittingly.

1377
01:12:13,168 --> 01:12:15,959
Don't you think at least one of us
ought to do the right thing?

1378
01:12:22,918 --> 01:12:24,918
We're going straight through
back to London.

1379
01:12:25,418 --> 01:12:26,293
Now!

1380
01:12:27,584 --> 01:12:28,418
I'm driving.

1381
01:12:36,043 --> 01:12:38,668
[doorbell ringing]

1382
01:13:03,376 --> 01:13:05,084
Do you know what time it is?

1383
01:13:05,751 --> 01:13:06,834
I just need a moment.

1384
01:13:08,126 --> 01:13:08,959
[sighs]

1385
01:13:09,584 --> 01:13:13,459
There's an apology I must make to you,
and then I promise I'll go.

1386
01:13:16,209 --> 01:13:17,834
I wasn't being honest with you

1387
01:13:18,834 --> 01:13:21,959
or even myself
when I said there's nothing between us.

1388
01:13:24,876 --> 01:13:26,584
In fact, the very opposite is true.

1389
01:13:29,418 --> 01:13:30,959
My life is complicated.

1390
01:13:32,709 --> 01:13:36,543
It's not an excuse
or a defense or anything, really.

1391
01:13:38,376 --> 01:13:39,543
Only to say…

1392
01:13:44,543 --> 01:13:46,584
that my feelings for you are real.

1393
01:13:49,501 --> 01:13:51,876
I should have
realized that a long time ago.

1394
01:13:52,959 --> 01:13:54,959
[emotional music playing]

1395
01:13:55,626 --> 01:13:58,376
And perhaps I might have spared you
the embarrassment of last night,

1396
01:13:59,876 --> 01:14:01,376
because if I in any way--

1397
01:14:01,459 --> 01:14:02,626
You didn't.

1398
01:14:04,126 --> 01:14:06,793
I know you have a wife and family.

1399
01:14:09,668 --> 01:14:10,501
I do.

1400
01:14:13,501 --> 01:14:14,876
And you and I,

1401
01:14:15,793 --> 01:14:16,959
we have a war to win.

1402
01:14:18,334 --> 01:14:22,001
Major Martin is in dangerous waters now.

1403
01:14:23,293 --> 01:14:24,751
He'll need us more than ever.

1404
01:14:30,293 --> 01:14:31,959
I hope you're able to sleep.

1405
01:14:37,459 --> 01:14:39,459
[somber music playing]

1406
01:15:00,709 --> 01:15:04,251
[sobbing]

1407
01:15:12,043 --> 01:15:15,251
[typewriter clacking]

1408
01:15:20,626 --> 01:15:23,001
[typewriter clacking]

1409
01:16:02,793 --> 01:16:04,626
I left my Bible below deck, so…

1410
01:16:12,251 --> 01:16:14,168
In the twinkling of an eye,

1411
01:16:15,793 --> 01:16:17,209
at the last call,

1412
01:16:18,584 --> 01:16:20,459
for the trumpet shall sound,

1413
01:16:21,459 --> 01:16:24,543
and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible.

1414
01:16:25,793 --> 01:16:27,793
And we shall all be changed.

1415
01:16:32,293 --> 01:16:33,709
Have we heard anything?

1416
01:16:33,793 --> 01:16:34,626
Not yet.

1417
01:16:46,168 --> 01:16:48,459
[Jean] I thought I might take a moment.

1418
01:16:49,084 --> 01:16:50,584
Say a prayer to St. Jude.

1419
01:16:56,709 --> 01:16:58,251
Should we pray for Major Martin?

1420
01:17:01,084 --> 01:17:02,376
For Major Martin.

1421
01:17:04,876 --> 01:17:06,751
For the success of our mission.

1422
01:17:09,168 --> 01:17:10,334
For those we love.

1423
01:17:33,001 --> 01:17:35,001
[waves crashing]

1424
01:17:46,584 --> 01:17:48,084
[indistinct dialogue]

1425
01:17:49,918 --> 01:17:50,959
[in Spanish] Marco!

1426
01:17:51,043 --> 01:17:52,334
-[in Spanish] What?
-Listen…

1427
01:18:10,501 --> 01:18:12,501
[somber music playing]

1428
01:18:22,084 --> 01:18:25,043
[Ian] And so, the hidden war continues.

1429
01:18:29,918 --> 01:18:32,043
Lies are whispered anew.

1430
01:18:33,751 --> 01:18:35,793
Shadows still flicker.

1431
01:18:38,126 --> 01:18:42,084
Even the ground refuses
to steady in this wilderness of illusions.

1432
01:18:47,793 --> 01:18:49,376
A man dies.

1433
01:18:51,751 --> 01:18:53,876
Another begins his journey

1434
01:18:55,584 --> 01:18:58,418
and waits for his story to be told.

1435
01:19:02,084 --> 01:19:04,168
But in the conventional war,

1436
01:19:04,251 --> 01:19:06,251
the wheels of combat turn,

1437
01:19:06,751 --> 01:19:10,959
the forces of men
and machines swell until suddenly

1438
01:19:11,459 --> 01:19:13,043
the die is cast.

1439
01:19:14,084 --> 01:19:15,918
There is no turning back.

1440
01:19:16,001 --> 01:19:18,793
U.S., Canadian,
and British forces will strike

1441
01:19:18,876 --> 01:19:21,126
26 beaches over 100 miles

1442
01:19:21,209 --> 01:19:23,126
of Sicily's southern shore.

1443
01:19:23,626 --> 01:19:26,209
We'll be mobilizing 100,000 plus men,

1444
01:19:26,293 --> 01:19:30,543
3,000 freighters and sweepers
with 1,800 heavy guns, 4,000 aircraft--

1445
01:19:30,626 --> 01:19:32,959
[woman] Commander, if I may.
Does the build-up continue

1446
01:19:33,043 --> 01:19:34,209
despite our intelligence?

1447
01:19:34,709 --> 01:19:38,209
Intelligence that shows
Germans continue to reinforce Sicily.

1448
01:19:38,293 --> 01:19:40,293
The prime minister still
hopes to turn the tide

1449
01:19:40,376 --> 01:19:42,709
and convince Germany
that our target is Greece.

1450
01:19:43,959 --> 01:19:46,793
He is now relying almost entirely on us,

1451
01:19:47,626 --> 01:19:48,876
so we have work to do.

1452
01:19:49,584 --> 01:19:51,584
[indistinct chatter]

1453
01:19:55,001 --> 01:19:56,543
-Morning Charles.
-Morning.

1454
01:19:57,834 --> 01:19:58,959
Charles.

1455
01:19:59,459 --> 01:20:01,918
-You don't look any the worse for wear.
-I should.

1456
01:20:02,001 --> 01:20:04,876
There's a reason tall men
don't serve on small submarines.

1457
01:20:10,918 --> 01:20:12,793
Hitler's still reinforcing Sicily.

1458
01:20:12,876 --> 01:20:15,543
[inhales] That can only mean
the other pieces of our deception plan--

1459
01:20:15,626 --> 01:20:16,543
Have missed the mark.

1460
01:20:18,126 --> 01:20:19,709
But Major Martin has washed ashore.

1461
01:20:19,793 --> 01:20:22,168
Gomez-Beare has been
called by the Spanish police.

1462
01:20:22,668 --> 01:20:24,043
Our plan proceeds.

1463
01:20:25,001 --> 01:20:28,501
The fate of the Free World
dependent on a corpse and a donkey cart.

1464
01:20:34,918 --> 01:20:36,043
{\an8}[in Spanish] All good.

1465
01:20:36,126 --> 01:20:38,168
{\an8}[in Spanish] …from Cardiff Martín Willy.

1466
01:20:38,251 --> 01:20:39,626
{\an8}HUELVA ROMAN CATHOLIC CEMETERY

1467
01:20:39,709 --> 01:20:42,751
And then look
what is inside that bag, please.

1468
01:20:43,251 --> 01:20:46,584
Thanks for notifying me
a comrade of mine has fallen.

1469
01:20:47,084 --> 01:20:50,501
I'm Judge Pascual del Pobil,
instructor of the Spanish Navy.

1470
01:20:52,668 --> 01:20:56,334
[in Spanish] I guess that would be
a complicated case for a local forensic.

1471
01:20:56,418 --> 01:20:58,793
[in Spanish] I'm Dr. del Torno,
provisional forensic

1472
01:20:58,876 --> 01:21:02,376
and head of pathologic anatomy
department at a university in Madrid.

1473
01:21:02,459 --> 01:21:03,959
The local forensic died.

1474
01:21:04,959 --> 01:21:08,084
By the way,
I fired the local police of Huelva.

1475
01:21:08,168 --> 01:21:11,959
They are corrupted
and controlled by the Nazis.

1476
01:21:12,043 --> 01:21:14,876
I will take care of this personally.

1477
01:21:14,959 --> 01:21:18,334
It is clear that your naval officer
was floating in water for quite some time.

1478
01:21:18,418 --> 01:21:21,293
[Charles] The critical task now is
to make the Germans think we are frantic

1479
01:21:21,376 --> 01:21:24,543
to reclaim the papers, while guiding
the papers right into their hands.

1480
01:21:24,626 --> 01:21:27,293
Since his personal objects
belong to the British government,

1481
01:21:27,376 --> 01:21:28,751
you can take them with you.

1482
01:21:30,459 --> 01:21:32,126
Me? Take them now?

1483
01:21:32,209 --> 01:21:36,584
Yes. No need to go through my superiors,
Commander Gomez-Beare.

1484
01:21:36,668 --> 01:21:40,876
The papers are yours
to return to your king.

1485
01:21:42,293 --> 01:21:44,293
[Charles] On the ground,
our Assistant Naval Attaché,

1486
01:21:44,376 --> 01:21:46,501
Don Gomez-Beare, is with
the body now and will make sure

1487
01:21:46,584 --> 01:21:48,168
the documents get to the German police.

1488
01:21:48,251 --> 01:21:50,334
Also known as the Spanish police.

1489
01:21:50,418 --> 01:21:52,418
I appreciate the offer.

1490
01:21:52,501 --> 01:21:54,376
But there is a protocol,

1491
01:21:54,459 --> 01:21:56,584
and we both know
the minds of naval superiors.

1492
01:21:56,668 --> 01:21:58,168
Do you know mine?

1493
01:21:58,876 --> 01:22:01,709
-Admiral Moreno?
-Moreno is a hopeless nitpicker.

1494
01:22:01,793 --> 01:22:04,959
Moreno is a pain in the ass.

1495
01:22:05,543 --> 01:22:08,543
So why rouse the beast?

1496
01:22:09,209 --> 01:22:11,751
Better to gather the papers
and keep them here for safe-keeping,

1497
01:22:11,834 --> 01:22:14,334
give a full report to Moreno later,
then return them to me.

1498
01:22:14,418 --> 01:22:16,751
We could. But it is hot.

1499
01:22:16,834 --> 01:22:18,793
Your man stinks.

1500
01:22:18,876 --> 01:22:21,334
And lunch and a siesta
are only moments away.

1501
01:22:21,418 --> 01:22:24,668
But they are watching, are they not?

1502
01:22:26,959 --> 01:22:28,168
Those men.

1503
01:22:29,876 --> 01:22:34,209
Fine, if you insist. The papers will go

1504
01:22:34,293 --> 01:22:36,959
to our Naval Office in Huelva.

1505
01:22:37,043 --> 01:22:41,251
In the meantime,
dear coroner, make this quick.

1506
01:22:41,334 --> 01:22:44,376
I see no reason to rush.

1507
01:22:44,459 --> 01:22:47,709
I specialized in drownings at the Academy,

1508
01:22:47,793 --> 01:22:49,834
so I find this case of great interest.

1509
01:22:51,126 --> 01:22:54,668
Specialized in drownings?

1510
01:22:54,751 --> 01:22:58,793
Yes. If this case even is a drowning.

1511
01:22:59,293 --> 01:23:01,209
[Ewen] Once the autopsy is complete,

1512
01:23:01,793 --> 01:23:05,293
we'll work our end through David Ainsworth
at the British Embassy in Madrid.

1513
01:23:05,376 --> 01:23:06,584
British Admiralty on the phone.

1514
01:23:06,668 --> 01:23:09,876
The Germans have bugged the phones there,
so any message we pass to the embassy

1515
01:23:09,959 --> 01:23:11,543
is essentially a message to Berlin.

1516
01:23:11,626 --> 01:23:14,251
Oh, they asked that you
use the unsecured line.

1517
01:23:14,334 --> 01:23:15,793
[suspenseful music playing]

1518
01:23:15,876 --> 01:23:16,709
Ainsworth.

1519
01:23:17,209 --> 01:23:19,543
-[Ewen] Captain, is your line secure?
-Of course.

1520
01:23:19,626 --> 01:23:21,751
[Charles] Good, 'cause we've
just received news

1521
01:23:21,834 --> 01:23:23,543
that one of ours washed up in Huelva.

1522
01:23:23,626 --> 01:23:25,293
[Ewen] Carrying top-secret documents

1523
01:23:25,376 --> 01:23:27,668
General Nye's camp is
very anxious to recover.

1524
01:23:27,751 --> 01:23:29,626
I'll begin inquiries right away.

1525
01:23:29,709 --> 01:23:32,126
[Charles] And the fact
that we're looking for papers at all

1526
01:23:32,209 --> 01:23:33,376
must remain classified.

1527
01:23:33,876 --> 01:23:34,918
Understood.

1528
01:23:35,751 --> 01:23:37,418
[music reaches crescendo, ends]

1529
01:23:38,334 --> 01:23:41,876
[gagging and retching]

1530
01:23:42,001 --> 01:23:46,126
Doctor, our man here has clearly drowned.

1531
01:23:46,209 --> 01:23:48,834
His body has given up the ghost,
I think we can agree.

1532
01:23:48,918 --> 01:23:53,626
There is only one decent thing
we can do now for his poor sodden soul.

1533
01:23:56,459 --> 01:23:58,834
The burial is set for 0800 hours tomorrow?

1534
01:23:58,918 --> 01:24:01,543
[Gomez-Beare] Only because
the expert pathologist from Madrid

1535
01:24:01,626 --> 01:24:05,293
nixed the autopsy, thank Christ,
and not a moment too soon.

1536
01:24:05,376 --> 01:24:09,876
The bad news is the Spanish Navy
in Huelva has the case under lock and key.

1537
01:24:09,959 --> 01:24:12,918
[Charles] Then our only hope is
helping Adolf Clauss get his hands on it.

1538
01:24:13,001 --> 01:24:16,126
Before the case makes its way
to Admiral Moreno's office in Madrid.

1539
01:24:16,209 --> 01:24:18,709
Well, the dung beetle
will surface soon enough.

1540
01:24:18,793 --> 01:24:20,418
[Ewen] Nope, we need him
to surface sooner.

1541
01:24:20,501 --> 01:24:24,084
We'll jolt him with an unencrypted cable
sent to your office tonight.

1542
01:24:24,168 --> 01:24:27,001
Make casual request to Spanish Navy

1543
01:24:27,959 --> 01:24:30,626
to return case and papers. Stop.

1544
01:24:31,126 --> 01:24:33,084
{\an8}Do not alert German interests

1545
01:24:33,168 --> 01:24:36,293
{\an8}to the necessity of securing

1546
01:24:36,376 --> 01:24:39,834
{\an8}these documents back
into British hands, stop.

1547
01:24:40,334 --> 01:24:43,126
Unless you expect
a thank you from Herr Clauss,

1548
01:24:43,751 --> 01:24:46,001
I think our work here tonight is done.

1549
01:24:51,543 --> 01:24:53,418
[Ewen] Get the list through.
In the morning…

1550
01:25:03,751 --> 01:25:07,043
I just saw the name Montagu.

1551
01:25:08,251 --> 01:25:09,918
Ewen's wife, Iris.

1552
01:25:10,959 --> 01:25:12,334
She and I correspond.

1553
01:25:13,168 --> 01:25:15,334
We've known each other
for years, of course.

1554
01:25:24,459 --> 01:25:26,793
[somber music playing]

1555
01:25:32,543 --> 01:25:33,543
[Roger] Jean!

1556
01:25:35,168 --> 01:25:36,084
Jean!

1557
01:25:38,793 --> 01:25:40,626
Goodness! Roger!

1558
01:25:40,709 --> 01:25:42,918
I am so sorry. I've been meaning to--

1559
01:25:43,001 --> 01:25:46,001
No, no. It's okay.
I'm just disappointed since

1560
01:25:47,043 --> 01:25:48,959
it feels like I barely
got to say hello to you,

1561
01:25:49,043 --> 01:25:50,834
and now I have to say goodbye.

1562
01:25:52,334 --> 01:25:54,834
The boys and I are
shipping out in the morning.

1563
01:25:55,543 --> 01:25:56,626
In the morning?

1564
01:25:57,126 --> 01:26:00,001
-Where?
-I'm not at liberty to say, but, uh…

1565
01:26:00,501 --> 01:26:03,543
Well, I don't know
when we'll see each other again, so…

1566
01:26:05,959 --> 01:26:08,876
Wherever it is, Roger,
I do hope you'll be safe.

1567
01:26:09,459 --> 01:26:11,084
May I write to you?

1568
01:26:11,168 --> 01:26:12,418
[Jean] Of course.

1569
01:26:13,084 --> 01:26:15,001
Please write.

1570
01:26:16,334 --> 01:26:18,334
[takes deep breath]

1571
01:26:18,418 --> 01:26:19,793
[emotional music playing]

1572
01:26:20,501 --> 01:26:21,501
[Roger places kiss]

1573
01:26:23,751 --> 01:26:24,751
Goodbye.

1574
01:26:39,126 --> 01:26:42,501
[in Spanish] In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

1575
01:26:42,584 --> 01:26:43,501
Amen.

1576
01:26:44,918 --> 01:26:46,126
Jesus Christ…

1577
01:26:46,209 --> 01:26:48,501
[Gomez-Beare in Spanish]
It will be my funeral next.

1578
01:26:49,293 --> 01:26:53,668
I should've taken that
bloody briefcase when I had the chance.

1579
01:26:53,751 --> 01:26:57,251
My superiors are frantic for it.

1580
01:26:57,751 --> 01:27:00,001
Perhaps the case is already en route.

1581
01:27:00,501 --> 01:27:02,584
To where? Have you heard gossip?

1582
01:27:03,876 --> 01:27:07,126
This is a small town, Lieutenant.
Treacherously small.

1583
01:27:07,626 --> 01:27:09,543
The chair maker has been asking questions.

1584
01:27:13,084 --> 01:27:14,001
[in English] Adolf.

1585
01:27:14,084 --> 01:27:15,584
What a pleasant surprise.

1586
01:27:17,959 --> 01:27:19,751
Quite the turnout for our man.

1587
01:27:23,293 --> 01:27:26,584
[Ainsworth] So, Adolf Clauss
turned out to be two steps behind…

1588
01:27:26,668 --> 01:27:28,668
[car revving]

1589
01:27:29,168 --> 01:27:31,376
…because the briefcase
has landed in Madrid.

1590
01:27:31,459 --> 01:27:32,584
Dear God.

1591
01:27:32,668 --> 01:27:35,959
[Ainsworth] Which means it will be
in Admiral Moreno's office shortly.

1592
01:27:36,043 --> 01:27:38,751
But let's hope
that Kuhlenthal can't be far behind.

1593
01:27:39,668 --> 01:27:42,084
And since we've bugged
every office in Naval Headquarters--

1594
01:27:42,168 --> 01:27:43,418
Not every office. Not Moreno's.

1595
01:27:43,501 --> 01:27:46,126
-[in Spanish] Admiral Moreno.
-[in Spanish] Come with me, please.

1596
01:27:47,126 --> 01:27:48,918
[Ewen] We need to know
what Moreno's up to,

1597
01:27:49,001 --> 01:27:50,876
David, so you'll have to improvise.

1598
01:27:51,376 --> 01:27:53,043
Time to look up old friends.

1599
01:27:54,043 --> 01:27:57,168
[in Spanish] I need to hear
that conversation.

1600
01:27:57,251 --> 01:27:58,918
[indistinct chatter]

1601
01:27:59,709 --> 01:28:01,709
[suspenseful music playing]

1602
01:28:11,626 --> 01:28:13,543
[in Spanish] I've missed you, Captain.

1603
01:28:14,251 --> 01:28:15,084
[laughs]

1604
01:28:19,584 --> 01:28:21,834
[woman moaning]

1605
01:28:22,584 --> 01:28:24,584
[Ainsworth] I heard
the whole conversation.

1606
01:28:24,668 --> 01:28:26,709
Moreno denied having the papers,

1607
01:28:26,793 --> 01:28:29,168
while Kuhlenthal
insisted he did have the papers.

1608
01:28:29,251 --> 01:28:30,459
[woman breathing heavily]

1609
01:28:30,543 --> 01:28:32,876
Did Kuhlenthal get hold of the case?

1610
01:28:32,959 --> 01:28:34,168
Unfortunately not.

1611
01:28:34,251 --> 01:28:36,084
Moreno wasn't open for business.

1612
01:28:36,168 --> 01:28:40,043
Dear God! It's hard to see who's more
up a tree with this, us or the Germans.

1613
01:28:40,126 --> 01:28:42,501
I would say Kuhlenthal is
desperate enough for us all.

1614
01:28:42,584 --> 01:28:44,293
[yelling in German]

1615
01:28:44,376 --> 01:28:47,793
The bug in his office caught him
eviscerating Clauss for not

1616
01:28:47,876 --> 01:28:49,459
snatching the papers in Huelva.

1617
01:28:49,543 --> 01:28:51,293
-[yelling in German]
-[glass crashing]

1618
01:28:51,376 --> 01:28:52,626
[Ewen] So he should.

1619
01:28:52,709 --> 01:28:55,543
And the Spanish Navy can't seem to
stop reminding us how neutral they are.

1620
01:28:55,626 --> 01:28:57,709
They won't let the Germans
anywhere near our briefcase.

1621
01:28:57,793 --> 01:29:00,043
Colonel Cerruti could
get hold of the papers.

1622
01:29:00,126 --> 01:29:01,126
Cerruti?

1623
01:29:01,626 --> 01:29:03,626
Spain's secret police
are beyond treacherous.

1624
01:29:03,709 --> 01:29:06,459
[Charles] They are, but he's
a keen fascist. He's devoted to Hitler.

1625
01:29:06,543 --> 01:29:10,043
And we have no other choice.
We have to get the papers to Kuhlenthal.

1626
01:29:10,126 --> 01:29:13,293
[Ainsworth] Colonel Cerruti
ran me as a double agent years ago

1627
01:29:13,376 --> 01:29:16,168
without ever realizing
I was a triple agent for our side.

1628
01:29:16,251 --> 01:29:19,084
But I've steered clear
of the Colonel for some time now.

1629
01:29:19,168 --> 01:29:20,168
[Ewen] He's gone dry?

1630
01:29:20,251 --> 01:29:21,501
[Ainsworth] He requires

1631
01:29:22,626 --> 01:29:23,709
careful handling.

1632
01:29:23,793 --> 01:29:25,918
[in Spanish] Are you here
because you missed me, David?

1633
01:29:26,001 --> 01:29:26,834
[chuckles]

1634
01:29:26,918 --> 01:29:29,668
We sympathize, David,
but Churchill has put his money on us.

1635
01:29:29,751 --> 01:29:32,959
We cannot tell the prime minister
that we've hit a dead end now.

1636
01:29:33,459 --> 01:29:35,543
[tense music playing]

1637
01:29:35,626 --> 01:29:36,668
[hanging up phone]

1638
01:29:38,168 --> 01:29:42,376
[in Spanish] I am here, Colonel,
out of our shared duty to the Fuhrer.

1639
01:29:44,293 --> 01:29:48,751
Admiral Moreno insists
they know nothing of British documents

1640
01:29:49,668 --> 01:29:52,834
we know are in his possession.

1641
01:29:53,834 --> 01:29:57,501
Papers the Fuhrer needs to see.

1642
01:30:01,418 --> 01:30:03,418
And what is in the documents?

1643
01:30:05,668 --> 01:30:09,084
Something the British
are very keen to hide.

1644
01:30:12,251 --> 01:30:15,918
Now, I know Moreno is incorruptible…

1645
01:30:17,793 --> 01:30:19,084
but in your hands…

1646
01:30:21,959 --> 01:30:23,376
And what of your hands?

1647
01:30:29,126 --> 01:30:31,126
[music intensifies]

1648
01:30:32,126 --> 01:30:34,126
[Ceruti breathing heavily]

1649
01:30:48,751 --> 01:30:50,751
[suspenseful music playing]

1650
01:30:58,001 --> 01:31:00,001
[indistinct chatter]

1651
01:31:15,793 --> 01:31:17,793
[footsteps receding]

1652
01:31:26,543 --> 01:31:28,834
[both speaking indistinctly]

1653
01:31:36,459 --> 01:31:37,959
[suspenseful music continues]

1654
01:31:38,043 --> 01:31:39,584
[phone ringing]

1655
01:31:45,334 --> 01:31:47,334
[indistinct chatter]

1656
01:31:52,334 --> 01:31:53,501
I need some air.

1657
01:31:57,584 --> 01:32:01,584
[Ewen] There's no mention of Cerruti
or Kuhlenthal in any of these transcripts.

1658
01:32:01,668 --> 01:32:03,668
We don't know if Cerruti met with Moreno,

1659
01:32:03,751 --> 01:32:06,001
or if he even took the case,
or if he read the letter.

1660
01:32:06,501 --> 01:32:08,251
We are utterly in the dark.

1661
01:32:08,334 --> 01:32:11,084
Is that what
Charles and M were discussing?

1662
01:32:11,959 --> 01:32:13,626
Charles and Godfrey?

1663
01:32:13,709 --> 01:32:14,543
When?

1664
01:32:14,626 --> 01:32:17,626
Yesterday. I saw them
outside talking alone.

1665
01:32:17,709 --> 01:32:19,168
And you're telling me this now?

1666
01:32:19,251 --> 01:32:21,459
[Jean] I wasn't aware
I was supposed to tell you

1667
01:32:21,543 --> 01:32:22,793
or anyone.

1668
01:32:26,751 --> 01:32:29,126
[Hester] He can be like this
when he's under pressure.

1669
01:32:29,209 --> 01:32:31,043
You mustn't take it personally.

1670
01:32:31,584 --> 01:32:33,668
[Jean] The waiting's driving us all mad.

1671
01:32:36,709 --> 01:32:39,751
Why does Ewen's wife write to you

1672
01:32:40,501 --> 01:32:41,626
and not to him?

1673
01:32:47,626 --> 01:32:49,209
Every marriage has its

1674
01:32:49,709 --> 01:32:51,668
difficulties and disappointments.

1675
01:32:52,709 --> 01:32:55,293
Haven't we all had our
hearts broken over the years?

1676
01:32:56,751 --> 01:32:58,834
What's hard to understand about Ewen,

1677
01:33:00,043 --> 01:33:01,543
hidden beneath all the bluster

1678
01:33:02,418 --> 01:33:05,001
is his very deep sense of duty.

1679
01:33:06,876 --> 01:33:08,168
I only say this

1680
01:33:08,834 --> 01:33:11,001
because I'm so very fond of you

1681
01:33:11,626 --> 01:33:12,626
and him.

1682
01:33:14,418 --> 01:33:15,418
And her.

1683
01:33:17,209 --> 01:33:19,126
[teletype clacking]

1684
01:33:24,418 --> 01:33:26,376
[Ewen] Moreno's on his way to the embassy.

1685
01:33:27,251 --> 01:33:29,584
And Kuhlenthal has just left for Berlin.

1686
01:33:31,001 --> 01:33:32,876
[Moreno in Spanish] Captain,
this traveling case

1687
01:33:32,959 --> 01:33:34,126
has come into our possession.

1688
01:33:35,043 --> 01:33:36,668
We don't know its contents.

1689
01:33:37,418 --> 01:33:40,376
We do know it's the property
of the British government.

1690
01:33:41,043 --> 01:33:43,876
And at times like these, with countries
at war and allegiances so fragile,

1691
01:33:44,376 --> 01:33:46,709
Spain wishes to see
its safe return to its owner.

1692
01:33:48,501 --> 01:33:50,168
[in Spanish] Thank you very much.

1693
01:33:51,543 --> 01:33:54,001
[tense music playing]

1694
01:33:54,084 --> 01:33:57,043
So, the moment of truth.

1695
01:34:03,001 --> 01:34:04,376
[flashbulbs popping]

1696
01:34:07,293 --> 01:34:09,084
The seal hasn't been touched.

1697
01:34:09,584 --> 01:34:11,293
Meaning the letter hasn't been read.

1698
01:34:11,376 --> 01:34:13,334
Let's not hang ourselves just yet.

1699
01:34:13,834 --> 01:34:15,834
One can, with great delicacy,

1700
01:34:16,418 --> 01:34:18,376
remove a letter without
fully opening the envelope.

1701
01:34:18,959 --> 01:34:21,376
If the gum has been dissolved in solvent.

1702
01:34:21,459 --> 01:34:22,376
Or seawater.

1703
01:34:22,459 --> 01:34:24,293
Yes. Yes, seawater.

1704
01:34:31,876 --> 01:34:34,209
It is possible to insert here,

1705
01:34:34,709 --> 01:34:38,543
grab the edge of the letter,
and then, ever so gently… twist.

1706
01:34:38,626 --> 01:34:40,793
So it is possible they removed the letter?

1707
01:34:40,876 --> 01:34:44,709
Twisting like this
causes the pages to curl,

1708
01:34:44,793 --> 01:34:47,001
but, uh, once back
in the envelope, of course,

1709
01:34:47,084 --> 01:34:48,209
the letter will lie flat.

1710
01:34:48,293 --> 01:34:51,001
So how is a curl we cannot see helpful?

1711
01:34:52,209 --> 01:34:55,418
Um, it isn't. It-- It isn't.

1712
01:34:56,001 --> 01:34:59,293
Unless we wet the paper again,
dry it, and see what happens.

1713
01:35:00,293 --> 01:35:02,001
It looks as if the eyelash is gone.

1714
01:35:03,001 --> 01:35:07,043
We are not sending 100,000 men
into battle on a missing eyelash.

1715
01:35:07,543 --> 01:35:09,543
[music intensifies]

1716
01:35:12,876 --> 01:35:14,543
[Charles] So it has been opened.

1717
01:35:15,376 --> 01:35:19,959
This letter has been removed
from the envelope, and it has been opened.

1718
01:35:20,043 --> 01:35:21,501
Which means it's been read.

1719
01:35:21,584 --> 01:35:22,584
[door unlocking]

1720
01:35:44,168 --> 01:35:45,084
[floorboards creak]

1721
01:35:45,168 --> 01:35:46,168
[footsteps approach]

1722
01:35:49,584 --> 01:35:50,793
Teddy!

1723
01:35:51,668 --> 01:35:52,876
What on earth--

1724
01:35:52,959 --> 01:35:54,584
-Why?
-Why am I not at the club?

1725
01:35:54,668 --> 01:35:56,168
I don't work there anymore.

1726
01:35:57,959 --> 01:35:59,293
Strange, isn't it?

1727
01:36:00,459 --> 01:36:04,918
To find an old photograph of you
amongst Major Martin's papers.

1728
01:36:06,251 --> 01:36:08,668
I don't recall seeing him
at the Gargoyle, Jean.

1729
01:36:10,126 --> 01:36:12,251
Or, do I call you Pam?

1730
01:36:22,126 --> 01:36:23,043
"Dearest Bill,

1731
01:36:23,543 --> 01:36:26,209
why did we have to meet
in the middle of a war?"

1732
01:36:27,001 --> 01:36:29,168
[clicks tongue] "For if it
weren't for this madness,

1733
01:36:29,251 --> 01:36:31,293
we might have been married by now."

1734
01:36:32,168 --> 01:36:34,418
I don't understand what you're doing.

1735
01:36:34,501 --> 01:36:35,584
[Teddy] There are Germans,

1736
01:36:36,168 --> 01:36:37,543
good Germans,

1737
01:36:38,626 --> 01:36:40,334
in positions of great influence

1738
01:36:40,418 --> 01:36:43,501
that are allied
in their desire to see the Fuhrer fall.

1739
01:36:44,918 --> 01:36:49,793
But these men
have been rebuffed by your superiors,

1740
01:36:49,876 --> 01:36:52,293
labeled "the anti-Hitler hoax,"

1741
01:36:52,376 --> 01:36:55,126
which is a shame
since we both are on the same side.

1742
01:36:55,626 --> 01:36:57,626
[tense music playing]

1743
01:37:00,626 --> 01:37:03,293
My German friends need
to understand what's happened here.

1744
01:37:04,459 --> 01:37:08,834
So, you will tell me about
Major Martin and the letters in his case,

1745
01:37:08,918 --> 01:37:11,668
or I will pull out my gun
and put a bullet in your head.

1746
01:37:16,418 --> 01:37:18,876
[music intensifies]

1747
01:37:30,251 --> 01:37:31,251
We just got this,

1748
01:37:31,334 --> 01:37:34,084
the latest intercept sent by General Jodl,

1749
01:37:34,168 --> 01:37:37,293
Nazi Chief of Operations.
It says, and I quote,

1750
01:37:37,376 --> 01:37:41,543
"Enemy landings
on a large scale are expected in Greece

1751
01:37:41,626 --> 01:37:43,876
in the very near future." In Greece.

1752
01:37:44,459 --> 01:37:46,751
It came through
at the highest level of encryption.

1753
01:37:47,251 --> 01:37:48,209
Do we believe this?

1754
01:37:50,168 --> 01:37:51,251
General Jodl.

1755
01:37:52,001 --> 01:37:53,668
We couldn't ask for
a more credible source.

1756
01:37:53,751 --> 01:37:56,418
[Ewen] And if the Nazis were
moving troops from Sicily to Greece,

1757
01:37:56,501 --> 01:37:58,376
it would be Jodl that's moving them.

1758
01:37:58,459 --> 01:38:00,626
[telephone ringing]

1759
01:38:06,209 --> 01:38:07,043
[man] Q Branch.

1760
01:38:08,459 --> 01:38:09,626
Yes. Yes, he is.

1761
01:38:11,959 --> 01:38:13,459
Yes, I'll tell him right away.

1762
01:38:13,543 --> 01:38:14,543
[music intensifies]

1763
01:38:14,626 --> 01:38:18,376
[Charles] The man served us drinks
every night, Ewen! It was your club!

1764
01:38:18,459 --> 01:38:20,459
[Ewen] You don't think
I vetted every single employee

1765
01:38:20,543 --> 01:38:21,751
in and out of the Gargoyle?

1766
01:38:21,834 --> 01:38:24,668
You don't think I'm aware of everyone
around me who might be listening?

1767
01:38:24,751 --> 01:38:26,709
Well, you know,
we can't ask Teddy what happened

1768
01:38:26,793 --> 01:38:29,001
because his flat's been searched,
and he's vanished!

1769
01:38:29,084 --> 01:38:31,709
[Ewen] Every Nazi operative
within our borders has either been turned

1770
01:38:31,793 --> 01:38:32,793
or eliminated long ago.

1771
01:38:32,876 --> 01:38:35,834
We monitor everyone who might
remotely constitute a fifth column.

1772
01:38:35,918 --> 01:38:37,376
We have eyes on every Blackshirt.

1773
01:38:37,459 --> 01:38:39,376
Well then, who is this man? Who is he?

1774
01:38:44,293 --> 01:38:46,668
Jean, are you sure
that he didn't give you a name?

1775
01:38:46,751 --> 01:38:48,959
He didn't indicate
who might have sent him?

1776
01:38:49,043 --> 01:38:49,876
Just,

1777
01:38:49,959 --> 01:38:52,209
Just the Germans fighting against Hitler.

1778
01:38:53,293 --> 01:38:56,001
-I assumed it was a lie.
-It most likely was a lie.

1779
01:38:56,084 --> 01:38:57,626
Well, he was trying to get you to talk.

1780
01:38:57,709 --> 01:38:59,251
But I did talk.

1781
01:39:00,334 --> 01:39:02,793
I said, yes, I worked at the Admiralty.

1782
01:39:02,876 --> 01:39:03,709
[takes deep breath]

1783
01:39:03,793 --> 01:39:05,084
[Jean] And the officer that died,

1784
01:39:05,168 --> 01:39:08,126
he was using an alias
traveling with a fake dossier.

1785
01:39:08,209 --> 01:39:09,209
He was a spy.

1786
01:39:09,293 --> 01:39:13,209
But that he was also
transporting real classified material,

1787
01:39:13,834 --> 01:39:15,334
real letters.

1788
01:39:15,418 --> 01:39:17,251
It was ridiculous, but

1789
01:39:17,334 --> 01:39:20,001
what could I say?
He had the photograph. [sobs]

1790
01:39:20,501 --> 01:39:22,251
I gave you that photograph.

1791
01:39:22,334 --> 01:39:23,793
[Ewen] Jean, this is not your fault.

1792
01:39:23,876 --> 01:39:25,876
[Jean] But they know
the photograph isn't real.

1793
01:39:25,959 --> 01:39:27,626
They'll suspect everything now.

1794
01:39:27,709 --> 01:39:29,543
We don't even know who they are.

1795
01:39:30,709 --> 01:39:32,168
You're not safe here.

1796
01:39:33,251 --> 01:39:36,501
I have a guestroom. You can
stay there until we all sort this out.

1797
01:39:40,001 --> 01:39:44,334
[breathing deeply]

1798
01:39:45,501 --> 01:39:47,543
You would bring her to your own house?

1799
01:39:47,626 --> 01:39:50,626
Have you no shame after you've
jeopardized this entire operation?

1800
01:39:50,709 --> 01:39:51,751
[Ewen] You approached Jean.

1801
01:39:51,834 --> 01:39:53,918
You're the one
who insisted on using her photograph!

1802
01:39:54,001 --> 01:39:56,918
You're so busy seducing her that you
took your eye off your own brother.

1803
01:39:57,001 --> 01:39:58,501
You think I told Ivor about Mincemeat?

1804
01:39:58,584 --> 01:40:01,001
-How do we know he's not behind this?
-I tell him nothing!

1805
01:40:01,084 --> 01:40:03,584
Because you know he's
a spy in bed with the Russians!

1806
01:40:03,668 --> 01:40:05,918
Don't you tell me
what I know and don't know.

1807
01:40:06,418 --> 01:40:09,084
You don't think I imagine myself
at his funeral every day?

1808
01:40:09,168 --> 01:40:11,501
My own brother,
tried and hanged for treason.

1809
01:40:11,584 --> 01:40:12,751
How fucking dare you?

1810
01:40:12,834 --> 01:40:15,168
I am not the one who is running
a covert operation

1811
01:40:15,251 --> 01:40:17,584
with a spy under my roof!

1812
01:40:23,501 --> 01:40:24,334
No.

1813
01:40:26,001 --> 01:40:27,709
No, your brother's a war hero.

1814
01:40:29,168 --> 01:40:30,376
And I envy you that.

1815
01:40:33,376 --> 01:40:35,043
Whatever went wrong, it wasn't Ivor.

1816
01:40:35,126 --> 01:40:37,584
You are a careless bastard, Montagu.

1817
01:40:39,918 --> 01:40:41,459
You're careless with Jean,

1818
01:40:42,293 --> 01:40:45,459
you're careless with your brother,
and you're careless with your own wife.

1819
01:40:50,626 --> 01:40:53,126
I don't need you to remind me of my sins.

1820
01:40:53,209 --> 01:40:55,043
[somber music playing]

1821
01:40:55,584 --> 01:40:58,168
I only wonder how you
reconcile yourself with yours.

1822
01:41:00,626 --> 01:41:02,251
You strike some sort of deal?

1823
01:41:03,751 --> 01:41:04,751
Spying on me.

1824
01:41:06,334 --> 01:41:08,459
My hide in exchange for…

1825
01:41:10,376 --> 01:41:11,209
what?

1826
01:41:20,418 --> 01:41:21,751
I need to look after Jean.

1827
01:41:26,001 --> 01:41:29,251
Everything depends on finding out
who sent that man and why.

1828
01:41:30,751 --> 01:41:33,001
What if it was Von Roenne?

1829
01:41:37,168 --> 01:41:39,251
More than anyone else
in German intelligence,

1830
01:41:40,918 --> 01:41:43,584
Von Roenne would need to
know if Mincemeat is true.

1831
01:41:46,376 --> 01:41:48,918
So he could decide
if what he's whispering in Hitler's ear

1832
01:41:49,001 --> 01:41:50,709
is fact or fiction.

1833
01:41:53,376 --> 01:41:57,251
Because Von Roenne may be
the one who is fighting the other war.

1834
01:41:58,876 --> 01:42:00,084
The secret war.

1835
01:42:01,126 --> 01:42:04,584
The war dedicated
to seeing Hitler destroyed.

1836
01:42:08,918 --> 01:42:10,209
Either that's true,

1837
01:42:11,084 --> 01:42:13,376
or it's a fiction that we want to be true.

1838
01:42:15,959 --> 01:42:16,918
What's fact

1839
01:42:17,626 --> 01:42:21,043
is that you know I suspected my brother
of spying and refused to turn him in.

1840
01:42:24,043 --> 01:42:26,959
So, you know enough
to see me ruined and my brother hanged.

1841
01:42:30,584 --> 01:42:32,543
So the next move is yours, Charles.

1842
01:42:34,584 --> 01:42:35,543
What's it to be?

1843
01:42:59,543 --> 01:43:01,126
What we know for certain…

1844
01:43:05,001 --> 01:43:09,209
is that within our borders,
our eyes and ears missed nothing.

1845
01:43:10,334 --> 01:43:12,376
German spies, Nazi sympathizers,

1846
01:43:12,459 --> 01:43:14,418
we know where they are.
We know who they are.

1847
01:43:15,626 --> 01:43:17,543
Which means that whoever this man is,

1848
01:43:19,001 --> 01:43:21,293
it's not something
we've encountered before.

1849
01:43:23,459 --> 01:43:24,668
That's your excuse

1850
01:43:25,168 --> 01:43:27,709
for using a photograph
of one of our own operatives?

1851
01:43:27,793 --> 01:43:29,084
The photograph was my error, sir.

1852
01:43:29,168 --> 01:43:31,668
I was the one who insisted on
choosing someone within our ranks.

1853
01:43:31,751 --> 01:43:33,584
The woman is beside the point.

1854
01:43:35,126 --> 01:43:38,709
I just wish I could find even a sliver
of satisfaction in having predicted this

1855
01:43:38,793 --> 01:43:40,709
fucking disaster months ago.

1856
01:43:43,001 --> 01:43:44,876
I'm still receiving intelligence.

1857
01:43:44,959 --> 01:43:49,334
-The Germans are preparing for Greece.
-[Charles] It could be a ruse.

1858
01:43:49,418 --> 01:43:51,709
It's obviously a ruse,
given the operation's been revealed.

1859
01:43:51,793 --> 01:43:53,834
[Charles] Although, not necessarily, sir.

1860
01:43:55,751 --> 01:43:57,501
Montagu and I
have been racking our brains,

1861
01:43:58,376 --> 01:43:59,293
trying to

1862
01:43:59,876 --> 01:44:02,918
decode the message
behind this contact with us.

1863
01:44:03,584 --> 01:44:05,209
Why did this man reveal himself?

1864
01:44:05,793 --> 01:44:07,084
If he's an agent for the Adwehr,

1865
01:44:07,168 --> 01:44:09,918
why would he deliberately signal
that he'd discovered our deception?

1866
01:44:10,001 --> 01:44:10,876
It doesn't add up,

1867
01:44:11,501 --> 01:44:14,209
which is why the troop movements
to Greece may not be a ruse after all.

1868
01:44:14,293 --> 01:44:17,459
Why would the Nazis continue to act
on information they know to be false?

1869
01:44:17,543 --> 01:44:19,376
Because Von Roenne is
telling them to act on it.

1870
01:44:19,459 --> 01:44:22,584
There's not a shred of proof
of this so-called anti-Hitler plot.

1871
01:44:22,668 --> 01:44:25,043
We don't know that it isn't true, either.

1872
01:44:25,668 --> 01:44:28,834
-Christ.
-Admiral, this man came out of nowhere.

1873
01:44:28,918 --> 01:44:31,501
Perhaps he is the proof
of the anti-Hitler plot.

1874
01:44:31,584 --> 01:44:34,209
And he contacted us
so that we would know the plot is real.

1875
01:44:34,293 --> 01:44:36,584
And as German troops
continue to move towards Greece,

1876
01:44:36,668 --> 01:44:38,293
we would continue to plan for Sicily.

1877
01:44:38,376 --> 01:44:41,793
So that Von Roenne can
reinforce that misinformation with Hitler,

1878
01:44:41,876 --> 01:44:42,959
leaving Sicily undefended.

1879
01:44:43,043 --> 01:44:44,918
That is our instinct.

1880
01:44:46,209 --> 01:44:47,751
That is your instinct?

1881
01:44:49,709 --> 01:44:51,584
The fate of the world at stake,

1882
01:44:52,084 --> 01:44:55,376
the Nazi killing machine
waiting for us on Sicily's shores, and…

1883
01:44:57,084 --> 01:44:58,876
you two with your instinct.

1884
01:44:59,459 --> 01:45:01,418
[Godfrey breathing heavily]

1885
01:45:01,501 --> 01:45:02,793
If it were up to me,

1886
01:45:03,668 --> 01:45:06,959
I would postpone Sicily
and have you drawn and quartered.

1887
01:45:10,293 --> 01:45:12,543
No doubt the prime minister
has been informed?

1888
01:45:14,459 --> 01:45:15,418
What does he want to do?

1889
01:45:16,293 --> 01:45:17,668
The prime minister

1890
01:45:19,251 --> 01:45:22,376
does not want to postpone Sicily.

1891
01:45:24,959 --> 01:45:27,584
I pray we can all live
with the consequences.

1892
01:45:28,751 --> 01:45:30,751
[somber music playing]

1893
01:45:33,793 --> 01:45:34,626
Jean?

1894
01:45:43,209 --> 01:45:44,084
Jean?

1895
01:45:46,293 --> 01:45:47,293
[door closes]

1896
01:45:47,876 --> 01:45:49,876
[footsteps approaching]

1897
01:45:55,668 --> 01:45:56,834
He's coming home.

1898
01:45:58,751 --> 01:46:00,293
Robbie's coming home.

1899
01:46:07,709 --> 01:46:10,209
[kisses, inhales] Thank you, my son.

1900
01:46:18,668 --> 01:46:20,626
[Ewen] And this is a posting, where?

1901
01:46:22,293 --> 01:46:24,376
-They haven't told me yet.
-They?

1902
01:46:24,459 --> 01:46:25,543
Special Operations.

1903
01:46:25,626 --> 01:46:27,543
I was accepted today.

1904
01:46:28,584 --> 01:46:31,418
I suspect because Masterman
put in a good word for me.

1905
01:46:32,126 --> 01:46:37,584
Hopefully, I'll find my way overseas
as a courier or a radio operator.

1906
01:46:37,668 --> 01:46:38,501
I see.

1907
01:46:41,293 --> 01:46:45,001
I can never forgive myself
for placing our operation in peril.

1908
01:46:45,084 --> 01:46:47,043
I won't hear it.
What happened is not your fault.

1909
01:46:47,126 --> 01:46:50,834
Regardless, it'll take
the grace of God and nerves of steel

1910
01:46:50,918 --> 01:46:52,709
to land Mincemeat safely now.

1911
01:46:52,793 --> 01:46:55,793
The kind of fortitude
you have demonstrated every single day.

1912
01:46:55,876 --> 01:46:59,001
I've played my part
in the Bill and Pam story, Ewen.

1913
01:46:59,584 --> 01:47:01,584
It's time for me to go where I'm needed.

1914
01:47:01,668 --> 01:47:03,001
[Ewen] You're needed here…

1915
01:47:04,376 --> 01:47:05,209
with us.

1916
01:47:05,293 --> 01:47:06,793
I have to go.

1917
01:47:09,709 --> 01:47:11,876
[takes deep breath]

1918
01:47:15,293 --> 01:47:17,293
[emotional music playing]

1919
01:47:20,709 --> 01:47:22,501
You will have your own story, then.

1920
01:47:24,001 --> 01:47:25,543
You will fight your own war.

1921
01:47:27,084 --> 01:47:28,584
You will serve bravely.

1922
01:47:31,251 --> 01:47:32,834
Our country will be lucky to have you.

1923
01:47:36,084 --> 01:47:37,043
And I…

1924
01:47:37,668 --> 01:47:41,293
You will be reunited
with your wife and children.

1925
01:47:44,501 --> 01:47:45,626
A better man.

1926
01:47:50,168 --> 01:47:51,751
A man you brought back to life.

1927
01:47:55,959 --> 01:47:57,126
I will miss you

1928
01:47:58,126 --> 01:47:59,293
so terribly.

1929
01:48:00,126 --> 01:48:01,459
[cries]

1930
01:48:15,001 --> 01:48:17,334
{\an8}[Jewell] The invasion fleet
is now assembled.

1931
01:48:19,084 --> 01:48:20,918
{\an8}The Seraph will be the lead vessel

1932
01:48:21,001 --> 01:48:23,834
{\an8}in the first wave
of the U.S. assault on Licata beach.

1933
01:48:25,001 --> 01:48:27,209
Our job will be
to set the sonar homing buoy

1934
01:48:28,126 --> 01:48:29,876
to guide the others to shore.

1935
01:48:29,959 --> 01:48:32,751
[Charles] A great many others,
we hear, on many beaches.

1936
01:48:33,418 --> 01:48:35,834
The largest amphibious
assault the war has seen.

1937
01:48:38,751 --> 01:48:40,584
Do you believe
we have Fritz where we need him?

1938
01:48:42,126 --> 01:48:45,168
It seems the enemy
has fallen for the deception.

1939
01:48:45,793 --> 01:48:50,334
We expect resistance to be
limited to Italian coastal divisions.

1940
01:48:51,876 --> 01:48:53,793
Then our fighting men thank you.

1941
01:49:02,209 --> 01:49:03,668
I will see you on the other side.

1942
01:49:17,126 --> 01:49:18,209
I may vomit.

1943
01:49:19,293 --> 01:49:20,751
I may vomit with you.

1944
01:49:23,959 --> 01:49:26,251
Every, uh, piece of intelligence

1945
01:49:26,334 --> 01:49:29,084
says that the Nazis
are waiting for us in Greece.

1946
01:49:30,793 --> 01:49:33,334
And every piece of intelligence
may be the greatest deception

1947
01:49:33,418 --> 01:49:35,668
the Nazis have ever played against us.

1948
01:49:41,459 --> 01:49:44,418
Why do you think
Churchill still believes this can work?

1949
01:49:47,584 --> 01:49:48,876
Because he has to.

1950
01:49:54,709 --> 01:49:55,793
Jean has gone.

1951
01:49:58,168 --> 01:49:59,001
Yes.

1952
01:49:59,501 --> 01:50:00,459
I heard.

1953
01:50:11,584 --> 01:50:13,418
You've had another letter from Iris.

The points are set.

1960

And the forces gather.
