1
00:00:50,467 --> 00:00:54,005
In any story,
ifit's a good story,

2
00:00:54,137 --> 00:00:58,131
there is that which is seen
and that which is hidden.

3
00:01:01,019 --> 00:01:04,728
This is especially true
in stories of war.

4
00:01:16,034 --> 00:01:18,116
There is the war we see,

5
00:01:18,203 --> 00:01:20,911
a contest of bombs and bullets,

6
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:26,625
courage, sacrifice and brute force,

7
00:01:26,753 --> 00:01:31,247
as we count the winners,
the losers and the dead.

8
00:01:37,055 --> 00:01:38,671
Heave!

9
00:01:43,812 --> 00:01:45,723
But alongside this war,

10
00:01:45,855 --> 00:01:48,517
another war is waged.

11
00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:51,733
A battleground in shades of grey,

12
00:01:51,861 --> 00:01:56,856
played out in deception,
seduction and bad faith.

13
00:02:00,245 --> 00:02:02,953
The participants are strange.

14
00:02:03,081 --> 00:02:04,242
They are seldom what they seem,

15
00:02:05,416 --> 00:02:07,532
and fiction and reality blur.

16
00:02:10,046 --> 00:02:13,710
This war is a wilderness of mirrors,

17
00:02:14,801 --> 00:02:19,420
in which the truth is protected
by a bodyguard of lies.

18
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:22,134
For the love of Christ.

19
00:02:23,309 --> 00:02:25,095
We should have heard by now.

20
00:02:27,730 --> 00:02:29,971
This is our war.

21
00:02:46,791 --> 00:02:48,407
Dear God.

22
00:03:19,699 --> 00:03:20,655
Pray.

23
00:03:59,864 --> 00:04:02,151
"As looked up
into the darkened sky,

24
00:04:02,242 --> 00:04:03,528
"I made a vow.

25
00:04:04,661 --> 00:04:08,529
“I would give the old country
another day to fit me into something;

26
00:04:08,623 --> 00:04:12,082
"and if nothing happened, I would
take the next boat for the Cape."

27
00:04:13,211 --> 00:04:17,079
"It was then,
as I was fitting my key into the door,

28
00:04:17,215 --> 00:04:19,502
"that I noticed a man at my elbow.

29
00:04:19,634 --> 00:04:23,753
"I'd not seen him approach, and his
sudden appearance made me start.

30
00:04:24,889 --> 00:04:27,972
"May I come in for a minute?'
the man said,

31
00:04:28,059 --> 00:04:29,720
"steadying his voice with effort.”

32
00:04:29,852 --> 00:04:32,640
And if it were us, Omega,
would we let him in?

33
00:04:32,730 --> 00:04:35,438
Depends on whether or not
he knew the code, Agent Zed.

34
00:04:36,567 --> 00:04:37,773
"No sooner was he through the door..."

35
00:04:37,860 --> 00:04:39,646
He did let him in.

36
00:04:39,737 --> 00:04:42,695
"...then the odd litle man
poured himself a stiff whisky

37
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:46,028
"and drank it in three gulps.

38
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,323
"Pardon," he said.
"I'm a bit rattled tonight.

39
00:04:49,414 --> 00:04:53,954
"You see, I happen
at this moment to be dead.”

40
00:04:56,379 --> 00:04:58,541
I think it's best we keep reading.

41
00:04:58,631 --> 00:05:00,747
Tomorrow's a day
of high adventure, agent.

42
00:05:00,883 --> 00:05:03,215
I think it's best you sleep.

43
00:05:07,181 --> 00:05:08,512
They're here.

44
00:05:09,767 --> 00:05:10,848
Good night.

45
00:05:18,359 --> 00:05:21,477
This gorgeous delicacy
is Afghan cheese,

46
00:05:21,571 --> 00:05:25,280
made from the milk of a long-horned
and lovesick sheep.

47
00:05:25,408 --> 00:05:27,649
You must be a smuggler, Ivor.

48
00:05:27,785 --> 00:05:30,152
Exotic cheese.
The rest of us on rations.

49
00:05:30,997 --> 00:05:33,238
I could manage your front office,
you know.

50
00:05:33,333 --> 00:05:34,494
At the Cheese Eaters' League.

51
00:05:34,584 --> 00:05:36,450
Has my brother left you
unemployed, Hester,

52
00:05:36,544 --> 00:05:38,785
-now that he's retiring?
-Is that the rumour?

53
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,621
I hope that's not the reason
for this party.

54
00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:42,380
Are you not retiring?

55
00:05:42,467 --> 00:05:44,708
I've written a lovely speech
saying you are.

56
00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:47,836
Well, then, I suggest you write
a lovely speech saying that I am not.

57
00:05:47,930 --> 00:05:49,591
-This is simply a hiatus.
-(DINNER BELL RINGING}

58
00:05:49,724 --> 00:05:51,761
Naval supplies.
He's off to whip them into shape.

59
00:05:51,893 --> 00:05:54,100
A noble contribution
fo this ghastly war.

60
00:05:54,228 --> 00:05:56,720
Maritime hardware.
I have a passion for it.

61
00:05:56,856 --> 00:06:00,019
Ivor, Ewen. I'm afraid it's that time.

62
00:06:00,151 --> 00:06:01,516
That it is, darling.

63
00:06:01,611 --> 00:06:05,149
-I have prepared a dazzling toast.
Mmm.

64
00:06:05,239 --> 00:06:07,981
Though why we're not cheering you
on your [ast night at home...

65
00:06:08,076 --> 00:06:09,191
Oh, don't be silly.

66
00:06:09,285 --> 00:06:11,492
King's Counsel deserves
a proper send-off into retirement.

67
00:06:11,913 --> 00:06:14,405
Hester, will you tell my husband
his guests await him?

68
00:06:15,750 --> 00:06:18,412
Absurd, isn't it? This "retirement" bit?

69
00:06:19,087 --> 00:06:22,170
When both of us know my brother
hasn't tried a case in three years.

70
00:06:23,049 --> 00:06:26,917
And gossip has it he's been knee-deep
in intelligence for some time.

71
00:06:27,762 --> 00:06:29,378
Ivor.

72
00:06:30,098 --> 00:06:32,556
A grown man, gossiping like a fishwife.

73
00:06:32,642 --> 00:06:35,225
Has he been bumped over to MI5?

74
00:06:35,311 --> 00:06:38,645
-Special mission?
-Oh, my cue. I see.

75
00:06:38,773 --> 00:06:42,266
Surely he's taking you with him,
whatever it is?

76
00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:45,273
You really do have
an uncanny nose for cheese.

77
00:06:45,863 --> 00:06:48,025
To my distinguished
friends and colleagues,

78
00:06:48,116 --> 00:06:52,235
in whose honour we have
uncorked a vintage spam.

79
00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:54,407
-A devious cabal

80
00:06:54,539 --> 00:06:57,952
of immediate family
has billed this as my retirement.

81
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:01,956
But you, my cherished guests,
are clever enough to know

82
00:07:02,088 --> 00:07:05,672
that I will be buried in my silks before
I will ever hang them up for good.

83
00:07:07,385 --> 00:07:10,969
So let us instead consider this a cheers
to my now full-time post

84
00:07:11,055 --> 00:07:14,138
-as superintendent of nautical rivets...

85
00:07:14,225 --> 00:07:16,307
...and whatever nuts and bolts
may be required

86
00:07:16,436 --> 00:07:18,552
by dear England in her hour of need.

87
00:07:20,314 --> 00:07:24,683
But the real tribute tonight
goes to Iris, my brilliant wife,

88
00:07:24,777 --> 00:07:26,814
who in the moming,
sails to less troubled shores

89
00:07:26,904 --> 00:07:28,144
with our nestlings in tow.

90
00:07:29,490 --> 00:07:31,948
Iris is wiser than Solomon,

91
00:07:32,034 --> 00:07:35,447
stronger than Samson
and more patient than Job.

92
00:07:37,623 --> 00:07:39,239
She has to be. She's married to me.

93
00:07:51,053 --> 00:07:53,420
In the Moroccan city of Casablanca,

94
00:07:53,556 --> 00:07:56,719
Prime Minister Churchill has held
meetings with President Roosevelt

95
00:07:56,851 --> 00:07:59,468
to agree plans
for the next stage of the war.

96
00:07:59,604 --> 00:08:02,687
As Hitler's Nazis tighten their grip
on occupied Europe,

97
00:08:02,773 --> 00:08:04,514
a mighty host of Allied troops...

98
00:08:04,609 --> 00:08:06,270
Excuse me. Thank you.

99
00:08:10,990 --> 00:08:12,606
Excuse me. Thank you.

100
00:08:12,742 --> 00:08:15,951
...and prepare for a battle that
will decide the fate of the free world.

101
00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:19,946
In the words of
President Franklin Roosevelt,

102
00:08:20,082 --> 00:08:23,666
"The fascists asked for if,
and they're going to get it."

103
00:08:23,794 --> 00:08:25,751
We work together, if I'm not mistaken.

104
00:08:26,756 --> 00:08:27,996
You're not mistaken.

105
00:08:32,970 --> 00:08:36,554
Have you seen the main feature,
Confessions of a Nazi Spy?

106
00:08:38,100 --> 00:08:44,813
It's, erm, based on a real, erm,
FBI agent, Leon G Turrou, T-U-R-R-O-U,

107
00:08:44,941 --> 00:08:48,684
who tracked Nazi spy rings
in the United States in 1938

108
00:08:48,819 --> 00:08:52,278
and went on, amazingly,
to arrest a number of Germans

109
00:08:52,365 --> 00:08:54,276
for espionage.

110
00:08:54,367 --> 00:08:55,983
Sorry I'm late.

111
00:08:56,911 --> 00:09:00,074
['ll'let you watch.

112
00:09:00,623 --> 00:09:02,330
...every man under his command.

113
00:09:09,757 --> 00:09:12,749
It was very gracious,
what you said tonight.

114
00:09:12,885 --> 00:09:16,048
More gracious than it needed to be.
-I meant every word.

115
00:09:18,182 --> 00:09:21,300
And I didn't mean for it
to hurt you this way. My leaving.

116
00:09:22,061 --> 00:09:24,018
It seems I'm always the last to go.

117
00:09:30,653 --> 00:09:31,814
Stronger than Samson.

118
00:09:31,946 --> 00:09:34,483
We're off first thing in the morning
and I haven't finished packing.

119
00:09:34,574 --> 00:09:36,906
Well, up you go, then.
Safe journey, my dear.

120
00:09:36,993 --> 00:09:38,404
I will write to you.

121
00:09:39,078 --> 00:09:40,819
We'll write to each other.

122
00:09:52,508 --> 00:09:53,873
They have to go.

123
00:09:54,885 --> 00:09:56,375
Of course they do.

124
00:09:56,512 --> 00:09:57,593
If Hitler reaches London,

125
00:09:57,722 --> 00:09:59,804
a Jewish family
will be the first on their list.

126
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:03,637
I would never expose Iris
and the children to that danger.

127
00:10:03,769 --> 00:10:06,056
A separation made all the more painful

128
00:10:07,231 --> 00:10:09,472
if it were to become permanent,

129
00:10:11,152 --> 00:10:12,233
She told you?

130
00:10:15,239 --> 00:10:17,230
I've pleaded my case many times...

131
00:10:18,868 --> 00:10:21,235
for our family... for the marriage.

132
00:10:23,664 --> 00:10:25,325
Iris says marriages change,

133
00:10:25,458 --> 00:10:29,167
that romance and love
belong to the young.

134
00:10:30,504 --> 00:10:33,371
I don't believe that, or feel it.

135
00:10:35,009 --> 00:10:37,341
And the thought they may
never be coming back...

136
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,056
I know I can be remote...

137
00:10:45,811 --> 00:10:47,222
and lost in my work.

138
00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:50,471
Not as attentive as I might be.

139
00:10:50,608 --> 00:10:52,940
You're an imperfect person.
I doubt you're the first,

140
00:10:53,110 --> 00:10:55,021
I want Iris to be happy,

141
00:10:55,154 --> 00:10:57,270
even if it comes at the expense
of my own happiness.

142
00:10:57,406 --> 00:10:59,647
['ve never heard her
say a word about unhappiness.

143
00:10:59,784 --> 00:11:01,866
That's because she knows
you'd jump on a grenade for me.

144
00:11:02,703 --> 00:11:04,114
Only on your good days.

145
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:10,909
Iris said if I really cared,
I'd come to America with them.

146
00:11:11,003 --> 00:11:13,085
Oh, people say all sorts of things.

147
00:11:14,715 --> 00:11:18,379
She knows your duty is to your family
and your country.

148
00:11:20,471 --> 00:11:22,838
The nightmare marching this way
is only too real.

149
00:11:23,557 --> 00:11:26,891
And Masterman has asked me
to serve on the Twenty Committee.

150
00:11:27,436 --> 00:11:28,426
So you must,

151
00:11:30,731 --> 00:11:32,017
Starting tomorrow.

152
00:11:40,116 --> 00:11:41,106
Goodbye, darlings.

153
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:46,736
All right, now. That's it. That's it.

154
00:11:48,833 --> 00:11:50,449
Godspeed, darling.

155
00:11:52,586 --> 00:11:55,419
Our family manor
will be a freezing tomb without you.

156
00:11:55,506 --> 00:11:58,339
Take care of your brother,
Ivor, and yourself.

157
00:12:22,366 --> 00:12:23,652
I's cold.

158
00:12:23,743 --> 00:12:25,950
I'l see to a fresh pot immediately.

159
00:12:26,078 --> 00:12:29,070
They will drag me back
to the bowels any moment.

160
00:12:30,541 --> 00:12:33,033
Fresh air. Such a luxury now.

161
00:12:33,127 --> 00:12:34,288
Let's walk.

162
00:12:37,506 --> 00:12:39,793
Everyone but a bloody fool
will know it's Sicily.

163
00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:42,713
That may be, Prime Minister,
but itis the only path forward,

164
00:12:42,845 --> 00:12:44,961
given that we must find a way
into Europe

165
00:12:45,765 --> 00:12:48,223
and the most strategic path is Sicily.

166
00:12:48,350 --> 00:12:50,842
It leads to Rome. France wil follow.

167
00:12:51,479 --> 00:12:55,188
A successful assault on Sicily means
we would knock Italy out of the war,

168
00:12:55,316 --> 00:12:58,650
shatter Nazi morale and spell
the beginning of their inevitable doom.

169
00:12:58,778 --> 00:13:01,270
Inevitable? Our losses mount daily.

170
00:13:01,363 --> 00:13:04,276
You said yourself, sir,
Sicily is the soft underbelly.

171
00:13:04,408 --> 00:13:05,648
I know what I said.

172
00:13:06,827 --> 00:13:08,488
I want to know how it will be achieved,

173
00:13:08,621 --> 00:13:10,487
convincing Herr Hitler
we're not going to do

174
00:13:10,623 --> 00:13:13,285
what anyone with a bloody atlas
can see we'll do.

175
00:13:13,417 --> 00:13:17,001
Hitler will need to believe
that our next target is Greece.

176
00:13:17,129 --> 00:13:20,338
Which, yes, will require
an elaborate deception.

177
00:13:21,050 --> 00:13:22,540
A deception plan so complex,

178
00:13:22,635 --> 00:13:24,967
I believe it can only be handled
by the Twenty Committee.

179
00:13:25,054 --> 00:13:26,215
Which is why I shall focus

180
00:13:26,305 --> 00:13:28,592
the Committee's attention
on the Trout Memo,

181
00:13:28,724 --> 00:13:30,931
the document I compiled a few years ago,

182
00:13:31,977 --> 00:13:34,093
to which my assistant,
Lieutenant Commander lan Fleming,

183
00:13:34,230 --> 00:13:35,470
made some contribution.

184
00:13:36,774 --> 00:13:38,560
"Intelligence is like trout fishing.

185
00:13:39,235 --> 00:13:42,444
"The trout fisher, in tying his lure,
attempts to attract the fish..."

186
00:13:42,571 --> 00:13:43,606
I detest fish.

187
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:47,027
Fish as metaphor, in this case.

188
00:13:47,701 --> 00:13:52,036
Er, the Trout Memo is
our definitive blueprint for spycraft.

189
00:13:52,122 --> 00:13:55,205
Prime Minister, the memo
in the hands of the Twenty Committee

190
00:13:55,334 --> 00:13:57,792
may, I believe, hold the key
to deceiving Hitler,

191
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:00,287
and while some of the ideas
may appear fantastic...

192
00:14:00,381 --> 00:14:01,746
I applaud the fantastic.

193
00:14:02,716 --> 00:14:04,832
It has many advantages over the mundane.

194
00:14:05,636 --> 00:14:08,799
But the more fantastic,
the more foolproof the plan must be.

195
00:14:10,057 --> 00:14:12,640
Our troops are near dead
from heat in Africa.

196
00:14:12,726 --> 00:14:15,434
I gave Roosevelt my word
Sicily was next.

197
00:14:16,397 --> 00:14:18,764
An invasion date of July
is now set in stone,

198
00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:23,359
and right now, thousands of our boys
already lie in Europe's soil.

199
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:26,361
If we do not fool the Nazis

200
00:14:26,490 --> 00:14:29,152
and the enemy is waiting for us
on those beaches...

201
00:14:31,203 --> 00:14:34,321
history herself will avert her eyes
from the slaughter.

202
00:14:42,798 --> 00:14:44,038
Mother?

203
00:14:44,425 --> 00:14:47,213
Mother, please do not touch
the dolomite while I'm at work.

204
00:14:47,303 --> 00:14:49,761
A lobe in one of the cams is missing.

205
00:14:50,347 --> 00:14:53,180
I don't have time to find it now,
but haven't we learned

206
00:14:53,267 --> 00:14:55,884
that an overhead camshaft
is virtually useless

207
00:14:56,020 --> 00:14:58,136
without its properly functioning mate?

208
00:14:58,272 --> 00:15:00,559
You might worry
about finding your own mate.

209
00:15:00,649 --> 00:15:02,435
I hope to return with sugar cubes.

210
00:15:04,194 --> 00:15:05,400
And Robbie?

211
00:15:06,447 --> 00:15:08,313
Have you had success
in bringing Robbie home?

212
00:15:08,407 --> 00:15:09,647
I'm doing all that I can.

213
00:15:09,742 --> 00:15:12,450
-Pulling strings, like you promised?
-Every string within grasp.

214
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:14,785
A real-life war hero,

215
00:15:17,791 --> 00:15:20,328
-And where is Chittagong?
Bengal.

216
00:15:39,813 --> 00:15:42,100
Good God. What's he doing here?

217
00:15:42,191 --> 00:15:44,148
Montagu? I invited him.

218
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:46,191
That was a mistake.

219
00:15:47,947 --> 00:15:49,984
The main deception
that we'l feed the Nazis

220
00:15:50,074 --> 00:15:51,109
will run as follows.

221
00:15:51,825 --> 00:15:54,738
Our "12th Army", which does not exist,

222
00:15:54,828 --> 00:15:57,445
with its 12 divisions,
which also do not exist,

223
00:15:57,581 --> 00:16:00,414
will invade Greece six months from now,

224
00:16:00,542 --> 00:16:01,907
on the 10th of July.

225
00:16:02,002 --> 00:16:05,415
We will develop numerous tactics
to reinforce this deception.

226
00:16:05,506 --> 00:16:08,373
Bogus troop movements.
Fake radio traffic.

227
00:16:08,509 --> 00:16:11,627
Our agents will recruit
Greek interpreters,

228
00:16:11,762 --> 00:16:13,844
buy up a sizable cache of drachma.

229
00:16:13,931 --> 00:16:16,593
All'to take the focus off Sicily,

230
00:16:16,684 --> 00:16:20,348
the real target and the site
of the actual invasion that same day.

231
00:16:20,437 --> 00:16:22,553
And the centrepiece of this deception?

232
00:16:22,690 --> 00:16:24,397
As I just said, Commander,

233
00:16:24,483 --> 00:16:26,190
the 12th Army is the centrepiece.

234
00:16:26,318 --> 00:16:28,309
It's not enough, I'm afraid.

235
00:16:29,321 --> 00:16:32,530
The tactics you just outlined
would point to Greece,

236
00:16:32,616 --> 00:16:36,701
but if we are to get Hitler
to divert actual troops from Sicily,

237
00:16:36,829 --> 00:16:38,240
given her strategic importance,

238
00:16:38,372 --> 00:16:42,240
we would need to provide him with proof
of our intention towards Greece.

239
00:16:43,127 --> 00:16:45,084
-Fake proof, of course.
-I agree with that.

240
00:16:45,713 --> 00:16:46,999
And to that end, erm,

241
00:16:47,464 --> 00:16:49,421
I've also been working
on a deception plan,

242
00:16:49,550 --> 00:16:51,086
which I've dubbed
Operation Trojan Horse.

243
00:16:51,218 --> 00:16:53,676
It's a ruse taken from the Trout Memo.

244
00:16:53,804 --> 00:16:55,795
-Idea number 28.
-Number 28.

245
00:16:55,931 --> 00:16:58,298
A corpse carrying false papers
drops on the coast from a parachute

246
00:16:58,392 --> 00:16:59,632
that supposedly failed.

247
00:16:59,727 --> 00:17:00,842
The Trout Memo is dead.

248
00:17:00,936 --> 00:17:03,428
I believe the Prime Minister
has an aversion to fish, Admiral.

249
00:17:03,564 --> 00:17:05,430
He did not kill the entire memo.

250
00:17:05,858 --> 00:17:08,475
A corpse carrying fake documents, hmm?

251
00:17:09,278 --> 00:17:12,942
Of all the ideas in the Trout Memo,
that one is by far the most precarious.

252
00:17:13,073 --> 00:17:15,690
Except the Germans will be skittish
on account of Spain,

253
00:17:15,784 --> 00:17:17,866
where they recently failed
to follow up real papers

254
00:17:17,995 --> 00:17:19,827
on the body of an airman
washed up in Cadiz.

255
00:17:19,913 --> 00:17:22,530
So may I suggest the timing is perfect?

256
00:17:22,666 --> 00:17:24,782
For Trojan Horse?
Mmm.

257
00:17:24,877 --> 00:17:26,493
A code name a child could decipher.

258
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:31,085
And the Germans will be expecting us to
plant papers precisely because of Cadiz.

259
00:17:31,175 --> 00:17:33,041
Or the Nazis, being linear thinkers,

260
00:17:33,177 --> 00:17:35,214
will not want to make
the same mistake twice.

261
00:17:35,304 --> 00:17:37,386
It's simply a version
of the Haversack Ruse.

262
00:17:37,514 --> 00:17:40,472
-Of which of course I am well aware.
Then you will also be aware

263
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:43,347
the ruse has a good track record,
which is what I believe, my friend...

264
00:17:43,437 --> 00:17:44,973
Er, Flight Lieutenant Cholmondeley,

265
00:17:45,064 --> 00:17:48,102
-C-H-O-L-M-O-N-D-E-L-E-Y.
-..was trying to say.

266
00:17:48,233 --> 00:17:49,268
For those of you who don't know

267
00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,147
Lieutenant Commander Montagu,
he joins us from the Old Bailey,

268
00:17:52,279 --> 00:17:54,145
which means he's had little time
to spend in deception.

269
00:17:54,239 --> 00:17:55,650
I've spent my days in court, sir.

270
00:17:55,741 --> 00:17:58,199
Hence, he is blind
to the obvious pitfalls

271
00:17:58,327 --> 00:18:01,160
of tossing a letter-laden corpse
into the sea.

272
00:18:01,246 --> 00:18:04,409
I'm simply saying
that for a deception to reach Hitler,

273
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:05,615
it must have a channel.

274
00:18:06,251 --> 00:18:09,334
Spain is neutral,
the ideal place to launch such a plan

275
00:18:09,421 --> 00:18:11,458
because she is crawling with spies
from both sides.

276
00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:12,830
She has a vast coastline...

277
00:18:12,966 --> 00:18:15,674
And since our agents
in Madrid have an elaborate network,

278
00:18:15,761 --> 00:18:17,001
we could quite literally
float the documents

279
00:18:17,096 --> 00:18:18,552
right into enemy hands.

280
00:18:19,014 --> 00:18:20,800
Montagu and Cholmondeley
are clearly convinced

281
00:18:20,933 --> 00:18:22,389
they have a direct line to the Fihrer.

282
00:18:22,518 --> 00:18:26,933
So let's wish them both luck
implementing Operation Trojan Horse.

283
00:18:27,022 --> 00:18:29,935
The rest of us will proceed
with the operation I have outlined.

284
00:18:30,692 --> 00:18:32,478
I have a vested interest
in this plot,

285
00:18:32,611 --> 00:18:35,603
which is why I told M,
in no uncertain terms,

286
00:18:35,697 --> 00:18:38,940
you'll need a secure space,
command centre, a staff.

287
00:18:39,034 --> 00:18:41,071
But do we think it can work?

288
00:18:41,203 --> 00:18:42,443
I know I just made a case for it.

289
00:18:42,579 --> 00:18:45,037
An eloquent case.
It's the Haversack Ruse.

290
00:18:45,165 --> 00:18:47,623
It's tried, tested.
Deception needs a channel.

291
00:18:47,751 --> 00:18:49,742
-Those were your words.
-They were.

292
00:18:49,878 --> 00:18:54,839
I'm only imagining a dead body
hurtling through the air.

293
00:18:55,509 --> 00:18:58,171
The plan is bold, there's no question.

294
00:18:58,303 --> 00:19:01,261
But it's ours now, regardless.
M's seen to that.

295
00:19:01,390 --> 00:19:04,883
Although, what if the body
does disintegrate on impact?

296
00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:07,435
Let's not bring that up now,
shall we?

297
00:19:07,563 --> 00:19:09,600
And definitely not in front of M.

298
00:19:09,731 --> 00:19:13,645
Why do you call Godfrey "M"?
Because I called my mother "M".

299
00:19:13,777 --> 00:19:17,691
The most terrifying, most impossible,
most demanding creature I've ever known.

300
00:19:17,781 --> 00:19:19,317
What if the plane with the body

301
00:19:19,408 --> 00:19:21,115
is intercepted before he's dropped?

302
00:19:21,201 --> 00:19:22,783
So, Mother has no faith in this?

303
00:19:22,911 --> 00:19:26,825
That's because number 28
wasn't Godfrey's idea. It was mine.

304
00:19:26,957 --> 00:19:28,948
A plot I cribbed
from Basil Thomson's novel,

305
00:19:29,042 --> 00:19:30,077
The Milliner's Hat.

306
00:19:30,210 --> 00:19:31,792
-Have you read Thomson?
I prefer Buchan.

307
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:34,457
What if the autopsy
reveals that he didn't die of drowning?

308
00:19:34,548 --> 00:19:38,633
Or if the briefcase is returned to us
without the Germans seeing its contents?

309
00:19:38,719 --> 00:19:41,461
Charles, why on Earth do you
keep poking holes in our plan?

310
00:19:41,597 --> 00:19:42,837
I'm pre-emptively poking.

311
00:19:42,973 --> 00:19:45,556
To ensure all the details
are properly thought through.

312
00:19:45,684 --> 00:19:48,767
Because as Godfrey made clear, our feet
will be held to the fire soon enough.

313
00:19:48,896 --> 00:19:51,012
The plan will work if we make it work.

314
00:19:53,609 --> 00:19:55,600
He's put you down here.

315
00:19:57,696 --> 00:20:00,279
We'll certainly be removed
from prying eyes.

316
00:20:00,365 --> 00:20:03,448
Removed from life
in all forms, even air.

317
00:20:04,536 --> 00:20:06,447
Will you be joining us
down here, Fleming?

318
00:20:06,538 --> 00:20:08,529
I will likely stay upstairs.

319
00:20:08,624 --> 00:20:12,868
But, "whomever is equally industrious
will succeed equally well."

320
00:20:13,837 --> 00:20:15,828
-The Milliner's Hat, no doubt.
Oh.

321
00:20:17,925 --> 00:20:19,336
Oh, well, the Twenty Committee

322
00:20:19,426 --> 00:20:23,590
certainly has its advantages,
I suppose, if you like spooks.

323
00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:26,547
My friends think
I'm working in naval supplies.

324
00:20:26,642 --> 00:20:28,724
My mother believes I'm a clerk.

325
00:20:29,728 --> 00:20:32,595
-And Robert Cholmondeley?
My brother.

326
00:20:32,689 --> 00:20:34,805
I did hear the news from Chittagong.

327
00:20:35,442 --> 00:20:36,648
My deepest condolences.

328
00:20:36,735 --> 00:20:38,476
Oh, yes, we've lost a real hero.

329
00:20:39,446 --> 00:20:41,778
Leaving my mother with me, the penguin.

330
00:20:42,407 --> 00:20:45,650
RAF pilot and officer
with big feet and bad eyes.

331
00:20:45,744 --> 00:20:48,111
Which means I'm, in effect, grounded.

332
00:20:48,664 --> 00:20:50,120
Flightless bird.

333
00:20:53,085 --> 00:20:55,326
Well, what say we start
with the easy part

334
00:20:55,420 --> 00:20:57,707
and find ourselves a corpse?

335
00:20:58,298 --> 00:21:00,335
You can take your pick, to be honest.

336
00:21:00,425 --> 00:21:02,462
That goes right down the corridor.

337
00:21:02,552 --> 00:21:04,919
Right, you can go
straight through there.

338
00:21:05,013 --> 00:21:06,469
Two, three. Lift.

339
00:21:15,774 --> 00:21:16,935
You did say drownings?

340
00:21:20,821 --> 00:21:22,186
Room 13.

341
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:24,773
-Coroner Birtwistle for you.
“Montagu.

342
00:21:26,576 --> 00:21:28,533
This is the same
Official Secrets Act

343
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:30,031
you signed for Bletchley,

344
00:21:30,122 --> 00:21:32,580
but this covers your work
with the Twenty Committee

345
00:21:32,666 --> 00:21:34,782
and here in Room 13.

346
00:21:34,876 --> 00:21:39,621
Male, of service age, drowned.
Now, tell me why you want him.

347
00:21:39,715 --> 00:21:40,921
Where are his legs?

348
00:21:42,050 --> 00:21:43,290
And are there 20
in the Twenty Committee?

349
00:21:43,385 --> 00:21:45,296
No. "Twenty" is a joke. Two X's.

350
00:21:45,387 --> 00:21:47,048
Oh. The Roman numerals.

351
00:21:47,139 --> 00:21:48,675
-As in "double-cross"?

352
00:21:51,059 --> 00:21:54,893
You will use your Bletchley skills
to fish for cues in decoded chatter

353
00:21:54,980 --> 00:21:58,018
about Sicily, Greece,
enemy troops in those areas.

354
00:21:58,108 --> 00:21:59,598
Is that understood?

355
00:22:01,236 --> 00:22:05,275
The team in 102
are planning fake training exercises.

356
00:22:05,365 --> 00:22:07,777
106 are running double agents.

357
00:22:07,868 --> 00:22:10,576
107 will be dropping leaflets on Cyprus.

358
00:22:10,662 --> 00:22:12,369
I don't know yet
what the leaflets will say.

359
00:22:12,456 --> 00:22:16,495
And yet here we are in a huge city
in the middle of a world war,

360
00:22:16,585 --> 00:22:19,748
and we can't seem to find ourselves
a single suitable corpse.

361
00:22:20,547 --> 00:22:22,037
We need an insider.

362
00:22:23,133 --> 00:22:24,919
We need Bentley Purchase.

363
00:22:25,010 --> 00:22:27,342
And to what purpose
would the body be put?

364
00:22:27,429 --> 00:22:30,217
A warlike operation.
Its really all we can say.

365
00:22:30,307 --> 00:22:33,015
Although we can also say
that the body must be male,

366
00:22:33,101 --> 00:22:37,311
of service age, intact,
and could pass for a drowning.

367
00:22:37,397 --> 00:22:40,355
Intriguing. But I'l have to demur.

368
00:22:40,442 --> 00:22:43,059
Public confidence in our office
would be irreparably shaken

369
00:22:43,153 --> 00:22:44,268
if something like that got out.

370
00:22:44,363 --> 00:22:46,104
Like the Darby case?

371
00:22:47,074 --> 00:22:48,985
You remember the Darby case, Bentley.

372
00:22:49,076 --> 00:22:51,033
I brought you in
to give the evidence a second look.

373
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,202
Your testimony won the case.
The case cemented your reputation.

374
00:22:54,873 --> 00:22:57,831
Which led to your position here,
if 'm not mistaken.

375
00:22:57,918 --> 00:22:59,249
In a nutshell.

376
00:22:59,336 --> 00:23:00,622
The matter here is urgent.

377
00:23:00,712 --> 00:23:03,420
Itis top secret,
and itis approved at the highest level.

378
00:23:03,507 --> 00:23:04,872
It cannot be high enough.

379
00:23:04,966 --> 00:23:06,673
Churchill has approved it.

380
00:23:24,069 --> 00:23:25,980
Fresh as a daisy.

381
00:23:26,071 --> 00:23:28,688
Transferred from
St Pancras Hospital yesterday.

382
00:23:28,782 --> 00:23:30,147
What is your name, dear?

383
00:23:31,076 --> 00:23:35,445
This is... was... Glyndwr Michael.

384
00:23:36,206 --> 00:23:38,413
What is it you do for work, Glyndwr?

385
00:23:39,334 --> 00:23:41,871
There is no occupation noted
in the man's chart.

386
00:23:41,962 --> 00:23:45,045
It appears he was originally
from Aberbargoed.

387
00:23:45,132 --> 00:23:48,090
But in London, he was a vagrant.
No fixed address.

388
00:23:48,718 --> 00:23:54,179
Cause of death was chemical toxicity
from rat poison left on bread.

389
00:23:55,058 --> 00:23:57,846
I want you to know
God forgives you, Glyndwr,

390
00:23:59,312 --> 00:24:02,395
for hating yourself so much
you'd take your own life.

391
00:24:02,482 --> 00:24:05,270
Appears the man ended his life
while of unsound mind.

392
00:24:05,360 --> 00:24:09,194
Luckily for us, the human body
contains a host of chemicals naturally,

393
00:24:09,281 --> 00:24:12,114
0 determining how he died,
should he be immersed in water,

394
00:24:12,200 --> 00:24:14,567
would require a highly skilled coroner.

395
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:16,652
Where would you be landing him?

396
00:24:17,414 --> 00:24:19,280
Most likely a small coastal town.

397
00:24:19,374 --> 00:24:21,661
Where the local coroner,
if there's one at all,

398
00:24:21,751 --> 00:24:24,618
won't have the foggiest idea
why this chap kicked the bucket.

399
00:24:24,713 --> 00:24:27,080
Do you have any relatives, Glyndwr?

400
00:24:29,426 --> 00:24:31,417
Do you have a next of kin?

401
00:24:34,431 --> 00:24:36,763
The body is unclaimed.

402
00:24:36,850 --> 00:24:41,390
But, I must warn you,
our friend will soon start to rot.

403
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,016
I can place him in our coldest box,

404
00:24:43,106 --> 00:24:45,973
which will retard decomposition
but not arrest it,

405
00:24:46,067 --> 00:24:49,981
meaning if Glyndwr Michael
is to be of any use to you at all,

406
00:24:50,614 --> 00:24:53,356
he must be in service
within three months.

407
00:25:01,249 --> 00:25:03,035
In the real war,

408
00:25:03,126 --> 00:25:06,790
there are constant reminders
of the brutality at hand.

409
00:25:09,883 --> 00:25:13,501
A quarter of a million
lie dead in battle,

410
00:25:13,595 --> 00:25:15,051
an unspeakable horror

411
00:25:15,805 --> 00:25:18,046
with no end in sight.

412
00:25:18,141 --> 00:25:19,677
I'l be at my club.

413
00:25:20,435 --> 00:25:22,267
And I shall be up to no good.

414
00:25:22,896 --> 00:25:24,102
As usual.

415
00:25:24,189 --> 00:25:28,103
While in the other war,
the war of shadows,

416
00:25:28,193 --> 00:25:30,685
normal life appears to continue,

417
00:25:31,488 --> 00:25:34,071
itself an act of canny deception.

418
00:25:43,375 --> 00:25:47,209
In this war, real lives are also lost.

419
00:25:47,837 --> 00:25:51,831
And even fictional fives
can meet an untimely end.

420
00:25:56,137 --> 00:25:58,219
I believe my guests
have preceded me, Teddy.

421
00:25:58,306 --> 00:26:01,264
They have, sir,
and ordered their drinks.

422
00:26:01,351 --> 00:26:02,591
Thank you.

423
00:26:03,853 --> 00:26:05,935
And once in a great while,

424
00:26:06,022 --> 00:26:09,435
the laws of nature
reverse themselves entirely

425
00:26:10,235 --> 00:26:12,693
and the dead are made alive again.

426
00:26:12,779 --> 00:26:14,690
We were just discussing our chap.

427
00:26:14,781 --> 00:26:16,988
Crucial thing is that he must be real.

428
00:26:17,951 --> 00:26:19,487
As real as you or I.

429
00:26:20,328 --> 00:26:22,365
He must have parents, for example.

430
00:26:22,455 --> 00:26:25,072
Rank, regiment, bank accounts,
love of theatre.

431
00:26:25,166 --> 00:26:27,248
Nicotine habit. He attended Oundle.

432
00:26:27,335 --> 00:26:29,326
Flew kites as a boy.

433
00:26:29,421 --> 00:26:32,413
And on a blustery day, you'll still
find him kiting in Dulwich Park.

434
00:26:32,507 --> 00:26:35,215
The thing is the Germans will scrutinise
every detail of our fallen man,

435
00:26:35,302 --> 00:26:36,792
so the slightest inconsistency...

436
00:26:36,886 --> 00:26:38,376
Ah, Teddy, thank you.

437
00:26:39,681 --> 00:26:40,921
Martini.
-Thank you.

438
00:26:41,016 --> 00:26:43,678
-Gin and lemon for the lady.
-Thank you.

439
00:26:45,103 --> 00:26:48,186
Even the slightest inconsistency
will signal the ruse.

440
00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:52,767
So, to create a real fake man
from a real dead man, we start by...

441
00:26:52,861 --> 00:26:55,228
By giving him a real real name.

442
00:26:55,322 --> 00:26:56,483
John would be solid.

443
00:26:56,573 --> 00:26:58,439
James. George. Robert is good.

444
00:26:58,533 --> 00:26:59,898
That's my brother's name.

445
00:26:59,993 --> 00:27:01,483
Of course. Forgive me.

446
00:27:01,578 --> 00:27:03,569
-But William could work.
It could.

447
00:27:04,205 --> 00:27:06,947
And William would be a Royal Marine.

448
00:27:07,042 --> 00:27:09,329
An officer in the Royal Marines
if he's carrying secret letters.

449
00:27:09,419 --> 00:27:10,409
Exactly right.

450
00:27:10,503 --> 00:27:14,292
An officer in the Royal Marines
with a common British name,

451
00:27:14,382 --> 00:27:16,123
so that when the Germans
check the navy lists,

452
00:27:16,217 --> 00:27:18,254
it will be harder to track down a...

453
00:27:18,345 --> 00:27:20,632
Major William Martin.

454
00:27:20,722 --> 00:27:23,931
With your identification number.
How very clever,

455
00:27:24,017 --> 00:27:25,883
So if the Germans do follow the name...

456
00:27:25,977 --> 00:27:28,469
Ewen will be the first to know.

457
00:27:28,563 --> 00:27:32,557
There itis. As if I were him.

458
00:27:32,651 --> 00:27:34,358
Now all we need is his photograph.

459
00:27:34,444 --> 00:27:35,980
In Royal Marine blues.

460
00:27:36,071 --> 00:27:39,280
No, no, marines travel in battle dress,
and our marine will be travelling.

461
00:27:39,366 --> 00:27:41,323
And the uniform cannot appear new.

462
00:27:41,409 --> 00:27:43,195
It must be broken down.

463
00:27:43,286 --> 00:27:46,278
It must have exactly
the right patina of wear.

464
00:27:46,373 --> 00:27:47,909
As if I were him.

465
00:27:47,999 --> 00:27:49,410
There must be a love story.

466
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:51,833
If Major Martin's life
is to be believable.

467
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:54,332
Objection.
Creation of a material fact.

468
00:27:54,422 --> 00:27:56,709
Areal life need not be a romantic one.

469
00:27:56,800 --> 00:27:58,382
He would carry a letter
from his betrothed

470
00:27:58,468 --> 00:27:59,708
professing her deep love for him.

471
00:27:59,803 --> 00:28:00,793
That's very good.

472
00:28:00,887 --> 00:28:02,753
That's precisely
the level of detail we need.

473
00:28:02,847 --> 00:28:05,009
-And he would carry her photograph.
“Yes.

474
00:28:05,100 --> 00:28:06,932
We clearly read different novels.

475
00:28:07,018 --> 00:28:09,680
Well, why not ask
some of our female colleagues

476
00:28:09,771 --> 00:28:11,728
if they might be willing
to submit snapshots?

477
00:28:11,815 --> 00:28:14,307
And perhaps we can find a partner
for our Major Martin,

478
00:28:14,401 --> 00:28:15,641
That's not a risk?

479
00:28:15,735 --> 00:28:17,726
Picking a girl working in the Admiralty?

480
00:28:17,821 --> 00:28:20,859
She's an anonymous girl
washed up on a distant shore.

481
00:28:20,949 --> 00:28:21,984
She might even be thrilled

482
00:28:22,075 --> 00:28:24,533
to find herself in the middle
of a dangerous plot.

483
00:28:24,619 --> 00:28:26,530
Lives at stake. Countries at war.

484
00:28:27,288 --> 00:28:29,655
Her lover torn away by duty and fate.

485
00:28:32,877 --> 00:28:34,788
You want me to help you?

486
00:28:34,879 --> 00:28:36,836
And by extension,
help your country.

487
00:28:37,674 --> 00:28:39,005
Yes, you know
all the girls in the office,

488
00:28:39,092 --> 00:28:41,504
and, erm, I've seen the way
you go about your work.

489
00:28:41,594 --> 00:28:46,634
You're very clever
and, er, meticulous and...

490
00:28:46,725 --> 00:28:49,137
-You've been watching me.
-No. No, not...

491
00:28:49,227 --> 00:28:51,514
Certainly there's nothing untoward.
I simply...

492
00:28:53,857 --> 00:28:57,646
If you could point me to a girl
who would give us her photograph.

493
00:28:58,486 --> 00:29:01,569
But what would her photograph
be used for?

494
00:29:01,656 --> 00:29:03,988
Well, I'm afraid that's classified.

495
00:29:04,075 --> 00:29:06,692
But, erm, by donating her image,

496
00:29:06,786 --> 00:29:09,073
she'd be involved in
and on the ground floor

497
00:29:09,164 --> 00:29:10,950
of a significant operation.

498
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:12,826
Operation Trojan Horse?

499
00:29:12,917 --> 00:29:15,579
It's been renamed.
Something less obvious.

500
00:29:16,379 --> 00:29:17,744
Operation Mincemeat.

501
00:29:17,839 --> 00:29:20,046
Due to the dead body.

502
00:29:20,133 --> 00:29:21,339
You surmised that rather quickly.

503
00:29:21,426 --> 00:29:23,588
-I already knew the plot.
-Ah.

504
00:29:26,723 --> 00:29:28,714
Would something like this do?

505
00:29:32,270 --> 00:29:34,807
Taken by my husband a long time ago.

506
00:29:36,232 --> 00:29:38,519
Your husband? I didn't realise.

507
00:29:38,610 --> 00:29:43,355
Erm... Well, it...
It's lovely. It's perfect...

508
00:29:43,448 --> 00:29:45,940
It could be my contribution
fo the mission.

509
00:29:46,576 --> 00:29:48,317
First of many, perhaps.

510
00:29:48,411 --> 00:29:52,245
My photograph in exchange
for a seat at the table.

511
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:56,788
Very well.

512
00:30:00,924 --> 00:30:02,335
I'm all ears.

513
00:30:03,218 --> 00:30:05,209
Well, we've managed to find a body.

514
00:30:06,805 --> 00:30:08,421
Pretty as a picture.

515
00:30:09,015 --> 00:30:10,597
And the process
of transforming him

516
00:30:10,683 --> 00:30:13,300
into Major William Martin is underway.

517
00:30:18,233 --> 00:30:19,268
Bloody hell.

518
00:30:19,359 --> 00:30:23,774
Let's just not attempt to
make him smile again, please.

519
00:30:23,863 --> 00:30:25,069
It does none of us any favours.

520
00:30:25,156 --> 00:30:26,237
Because he looks dead, Bentley.

521
00:30:26,324 --> 00:30:28,361
Whatever we do. Just deader and deader.

522
00:30:28,451 --> 00:30:31,318
It's hard to come alive
for one's close-up in this state.

523
00:30:31,412 --> 00:30:33,073
If we bungle one tiny detail,

524
00:30:33,164 --> 00:30:35,781
a droopy eyelid, an open mouth
instead of a smile,

525
00:30:35,875 --> 00:30:38,958
we might as well telegraph
Berlin ourselves it's all a hoax.

526
00:30:39,045 --> 00:30:41,207
Then may I suggest a live face?

527
00:30:41,297 --> 00:30:43,208
That looks just like the dead face?

528
00:30:43,299 --> 00:30:44,539
In a city of nine million,

529
00:30:45,385 --> 00:30:47,092
surely someone resembles our friend?

530
00:31:01,192 --> 00:31:04,560
Do we think he'd be dancing,
Major Martin, if he were here?

531
00:31:04,654 --> 00:31:05,644
Well, he is an officer.

532
00:31:05,738 --> 00:31:06,819
Well, not all officers dance.

533
00:31:06,906 --> 00:31:09,068
I doubt our Bill
gives two figs for dancing.

534
00:31:11,452 --> 00:31:13,910
No. Too full in the face.
Without the moustache?

535
00:31:13,997 --> 00:31:15,487
His brow is too heavy.

536
00:31:16,291 --> 00:31:17,873
Why don't we try something easier,
for God's sake,

537
00:31:17,959 --> 00:31:19,040
like looking for tits on a bull.

538
00:31:20,378 --> 00:31:21,834
Forgive me. That was uncalled for.

539
00:31:21,921 --> 00:31:24,788
No. I saw the photographs.
It's called for.

540
00:31:25,383 --> 00:31:28,341
As for dancing, I suspect
the major's not much for a foxtrot,

541
00:31:28,428 --> 00:31:30,544
but could clear the floor with a tango.

542
00:31:30,638 --> 00:31:31,753
Our progress to date,

543
00:31:31,848 --> 00:31:34,089
Major Bill Martin
is an industrious chap,

544
00:31:34,183 --> 00:31:36,675
occasionally forgetful,
habitually tardy,

545
00:31:36,769 --> 00:31:37,759
but also clever.

546
00:31:37,854 --> 00:31:39,720
-Amend that to brilliant.
-And he's not good with money.

547
00:31:39,814 --> 00:31:42,055
So we should include
an overdraft letter in his briefcase.

548
00:31:42,150 --> 00:31:44,061
And is he happy? Is he a happy man?

549
00:31:44,152 --> 00:31:45,642
He wants to be.

550
00:31:45,737 --> 00:31:47,648
He started out with such promise,

551
00:31:48,281 --> 00:31:51,649
a sense of hope about the world,
about his future.

552
00:31:53,077 --> 00:31:55,739
But now it all seems dark, uncertain.

553
00:31:56,456 --> 00:31:57,946
He is in the middle of a war.

554
00:31:58,041 --> 00:32:00,203
Exactly right.
He signed up for the Royal Marines.

555
00:32:00,293 --> 00:32:02,284
But once commissioned
was consigned to a desk,

556
00:32:02,378 --> 00:32:03,368
which he despised.

557
00:32:03,463 --> 00:32:06,876
Because the life he really wanted
was one of daring and intrigue,

558
00:32:06,966 --> 00:32:10,675
and so he escaped and
he switched to the Commandos,

559
00:32:10,762 --> 00:32:12,719
where he distinguished himself
in technical matters...

560
00:32:12,805 --> 00:32:14,421
Specifically the mechanics
of landing craft.

561
00:32:14,515 --> 00:32:15,801
Yes, and he predicted
that the Dieppe Raid

562
00:32:15,892 --> 00:32:17,849
-would be a catastrophe.
And how right he was.

563
00:32:17,936 --> 00:32:20,303
He sounds like a character
from Sir John's latest novel.

564
00:32:20,396 --> 00:32:23,605
-Masterman? He's writing a novel?
A spy novel.

565
00:32:23,691 --> 00:32:25,898
Apparently he thinks of me as his muse.

566
00:32:25,985 --> 00:32:27,100
Well, then he may be
in for a duel,

567
00:32:27,195 --> 00:32:29,106
because you're Major Martin's muse now.

568
00:32:29,197 --> 00:32:31,609
The girl I was at 20 is his muse.

569
00:32:31,699 --> 00:32:34,111
Nevertheless it's your photograph
that will be pressed to his heart

570
00:32:34,202 --> 00:32:35,192
when he washes ashore.

571
00:32:35,286 --> 00:32:37,402
Yes, wallet litter is what you are.

572
00:32:38,498 --> 00:32:39,954
Not as in rubbish.

573
00:32:40,041 --> 00:32:41,122
That's just spy parlance

574
00:32:41,209 --> 00:32:43,576
for the bits and pieces
that one finds in one's pockets.

575
00:32:43,670 --> 00:32:46,082
-And do I have a name?
Pam.

576
00:32:47,799 --> 00:32:51,042
Not five weeks ago, the major
looked across a crowded room...

577
00:32:51,135 --> 00:32:52,591
Across a crowded room?

578
00:32:52,679 --> 00:32:57,094
The major sat at a small table
in a strange bar

579
00:32:57,767 --> 00:33:00,179
and found himself with a woman

580
00:33:00,269 --> 00:33:02,852
both known and unknown to him
all at once.

581
00:33:04,565 --> 00:33:08,775
Within days, something deep
and unexpected had blossomed,

582
00:33:08,861 --> 00:33:13,025
culminating in a diamond ring
slid onto Pam's slim finger,

583
00:33:13,908 --> 00:33:17,526
as Bill revealed himself to her
as a changed man.

584
00:33:17,996 --> 00:33:18,986
Jean?

585
00:33:20,456 --> 00:33:21,821
Jean.

586
00:33:21,916 --> 00:33:25,079
-There you are.
-I've had him down as a guest.

587
00:33:25,169 --> 00:33:27,957
Yes, under Lieutenant
Commander Montagu's name.

588
00:33:28,047 --> 00:33:29,208
Thank you.

589
00:33:30,633 --> 00:33:32,965
-Please, sit.
-Thanks.

590
00:33:33,052 --> 00:33:36,261
Suppose it's very fashionable
these days, marrying an American.

591
00:33:36,347 --> 00:33:39,214
Who me? Oh, no, that'd be my lucky day.

592
00:33:39,308 --> 00:33:40,639
Jean and I only just met.

593
00:33:40,727 --> 00:33:43,594
But, uh, well, so far,
she tolerates me well enough,

594
00:33:43,688 --> 00:33:46,146
-50 I guess there's hope.
-'m a widow.

595
00:33:47,316 --> 00:33:51,184
So, this is my friend,
Sergeant Roger Dearborn.

596
00:33:51,279 --> 00:33:52,690
It's nice to meet you all.

597
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:56,490
Jean said you wanted to talk to me?

598
00:33:58,745 --> 00:34:00,861
Or you didn't wanna talk to me?

599
00:34:00,955 --> 00:34:03,993
No, we did. Because we were
discussing something,

600
00:34:04,083 --> 00:34:05,198
a top secret project.

601
00:34:05,293 --> 00:34:07,034
A study.

602
00:34:07,128 --> 00:34:09,916
Profiling American servicemen

603
00:34:10,006 --> 00:34:13,374
and how they might integrate
with British troops.

604
00:34:14,177 --> 00:34:15,167
That's top secret?

605
00:34:15,261 --> 00:34:16,376
You should see the havoc
the Nazis wreaked

606
00:34:16,471 --> 00:34:17,461
with the radio antenna.

607
00:34:17,555 --> 00:34:19,671
Well, I'm not sure
what that has to do...

608
00:34:19,766 --> 00:34:21,552
What... What we're wondering
is whether you would care

609
00:34:21,642 --> 00:34:22,723
to participate in the project.

610
00:34:22,810 --> 00:34:24,972
It wouldn't take much of your time.
Just answer a few questions.

611
00:34:25,063 --> 00:34:26,303
Allow us to take your photograph.

612
00:34:26,397 --> 00:34:28,809
We could arrange for you to
come round to the Admiralty.

613
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:29,981
Say, tomorrow.

614
00:34:31,360 --> 00:34:33,818
Go on. It'll be fun.

615
00:34:35,656 --> 00:34:37,442
Okay, then.
-Very nice to meet you.

616
00:34:37,533 --> 00:34:40,070
So I'l see you tomorrow. See you soon.

617
00:34:40,828 --> 00:34:42,614
What do you think? Will he do?

618
00:34:42,705 --> 00:34:44,116
I know he's not a perfect match, but...

619
00:34:44,207 --> 00:34:46,323
A gift horse. He will do.

620
00:34:46,417 --> 00:34:47,498
A toast.

621
00:34:47,585 --> 00:34:49,792
To Pam, our secret weapon,

622
00:34:49,879 --> 00:34:51,620
who's already managed to see
what we could not.

623
00:34:54,717 --> 00:34:58,085
No, I think it was after
university that Bill took up the bass.

624
00:34:58,179 --> 00:34:59,510
Actually,
I think it was the trumpet.

625
00:34:59,597 --> 00:35:02,055
Which was frowned upon
by his mother Antonia,

626
00:35:02,141 --> 00:35:06,260
a devout Catholic who at all times
kept a candle lit for St Jude.

627
00:35:06,354 --> 00:35:09,142
Every piece makes a whole.
Our man is a mosaic.

628
00:35:10,983 --> 00:35:13,725
Will you wake your family,
getting home so late?

629
00:35:14,654 --> 00:35:16,861
My wife is in America with the children.

630
00:35:17,865 --> 00:35:19,071
Hester told me just this morning

631
00:35:19,158 --> 00:35:22,367
she'd taken a job there
with British Security Coordination.

632
00:35:22,453 --> 00:35:24,194
Hester told you?

633
00:35:25,206 --> 00:35:26,947
May I just say

634
00:35:27,041 --> 00:35:28,873
I was very sorry
to hear of your husband.

635
00:35:29,502 --> 00:35:31,664
I've been alone for many years,

636
00:35:31,754 --> 00:35:35,713
which is why it pleases me
to see Bill and Pam so madly in love.

637
00:35:35,800 --> 00:35:38,542
Pam is very lucky
to have you cheering her on.

638
00:35:39,387 --> 00:35:40,843
And Bill you.

639
00:35:43,349 --> 00:35:44,805
Thank you for walking with me.

640
00:35:44,892 --> 00:35:46,974
I can see you all the way home.

641
00:35:47,812 --> 00:35:52,147
Actually, I think I'l stay.
What, in there? Alone?

642
00:35:53,109 --> 00:35:54,645
I couldn't possibly.

643
00:35:54,735 --> 00:35:57,443
I'm perfectly capable
of taking care of myself.

644
00:35:57,530 --> 00:35:59,066
Who would argue otherwise?

645
00:36:01,826 --> 00:36:03,942
It's Bill and Pam's favourite song.

646
00:36:51,417 --> 00:36:52,907
Whoo!

647
00:36:54,879 --> 00:36:56,870
It was more like a lethal Lindy Hop.

648
00:36:56,964 --> 00:37:00,457
You flattened every male
of fighting age in the place.

649
00:37:00,551 --> 00:37:02,508
I was testing it out.

650
00:37:02,595 --> 00:37:04,927
Ah, secret weapon against the Nazis.

651
00:37:05,014 --> 00:37:07,130
Pam's secret weapon.

652
00:37:07,225 --> 00:37:09,307
Her way of forgetting her woes.

653
00:37:09,393 --> 00:37:11,634
Major Martin will need
the stamina of an ox.

654
00:37:14,398 --> 00:37:16,856
She's a surprising woman, though,
isn't she, Pam?

655
00:37:18,194 --> 00:37:20,936
Ata crossroads in her life.
Still young.

656
00:37:21,030 --> 00:37:24,523
Probably hasn't quite found her stride.

657
00:37:24,617 --> 00:37:26,403
Is she younger than Bill?

658
00:37:26,494 --> 00:37:28,610
I hadn't pictured them that way.

659
00:37:28,704 --> 00:37:30,320
Well, Bill's hardly old.

660
00:37:31,540 --> 00:37:33,201
If you say so.

661
00:37:34,418 --> 00:37:36,705
What I think Pam sees in Bill,

662
00:37:36,796 --> 00:37:40,835
beyond the dashing figure he cuts
when he walks into a room,

663
00:37:40,925 --> 00:37:42,586
is something deeper.

664
00:37:42,677 --> 00:37:45,419
And Bill suspects the same in her.

665
00:37:45,513 --> 00:37:48,722
But at first, all he sees
is a woman of fierce intelligence,

666
00:37:48,808 --> 00:37:51,596
uncommon grace,
a demon on the dance floor.

667
00:37:53,646 --> 00:37:55,512
A woman ready to take wing.

668
00:37:55,606 --> 00:37:58,143
I think she's already on her way.

669
00:37:58,651 --> 00:37:59,937
A happy story.

670
00:38:00,027 --> 00:38:02,644
Except that he's off to war.

671
00:38:02,738 --> 00:38:06,447
Which is tomorrow's work.
And I'l need your help.

672
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:10,610
I'l wait here till you're in.

673
00:38:11,706 --> 00:38:14,198
I'l be fine. Thank you.

674
00:38:16,502 --> 00:38:17,867
Good night.

675
00:38:26,804 --> 00:38:28,386
Writing sample number five.

676
00:38:28,472 --> 00:38:31,089
Standard blue/black,
in leather wallet in pocket,

677
00:38:31,183 --> 00:38:32,924
soaked overnight in seawater.

678
00:38:33,019 --> 00:38:34,555
Seawater from...

679
00:38:35,688 --> 00:38:36,894
It does matter, Hester.

680
00:38:36,981 --> 00:38:39,973
Disposal shut down the road
in all directions.

681
00:38:40,067 --> 00:38:42,775
Child found an unexploded
fire bomb in her garden.

682
00:38:42,862 --> 00:38:44,523
Oh, dear God.

683
00:38:44,613 --> 00:38:45,978
And the word from Bletchley?

684
00:38:46,073 --> 00:38:48,030
Nazi command
still expects us to launch

685
00:38:48,117 --> 00:38:49,699
a naval assault on Europe.

686
00:38:49,785 --> 00:38:52,903
But they suspect a massive deception
operation is underway.

687
00:38:52,997 --> 00:38:55,864
They still believe
Sicily will be the target.

688
00:38:56,459 --> 00:38:57,540
So, two months of work

689
00:38:57,626 --> 00:39:00,835
and we've managed fo deceive
the enemy of precisely nothing.

690
00:39:00,921 --> 00:39:03,754
The one bright spot is
I found a hydrographer.

691
00:39:03,841 --> 00:39:04,876
I'm meeting him now.

692
00:39:04,967 --> 00:39:07,083
Well, I hope it's not Hespers
from Naval Operations.

693
00:39:07,178 --> 00:39:09,294
The man is an incorrigible skirt-chaser.

694
00:39:09,388 --> 00:39:10,753
My skirt can defend itself.

695
00:39:10,848 --> 00:39:13,715
But I could use
your expertise, Commander.

696
00:39:13,809 --> 00:39:14,799
Very well.

697
00:39:19,357 --> 00:39:21,564
-Room 13.
-That is his rank.

698
00:39:22,818 --> 00:39:24,980
-Lieutenant Commander.
Of course.

699
00:39:25,071 --> 00:39:28,860
They were just less formal
when I saw them a few weeks ago.

700
00:39:28,949 --> 00:39:31,065
-Dancing at Rainbow Corner.

701
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:33,948
Lieutenant. Admiral Godfrey.

702
00:39:38,042 --> 00:39:39,123
Admiral.

703
00:39:39,210 --> 00:39:41,076
So where are we with Mincemeat?

704
00:39:41,212 --> 00:39:42,919
We're on a solid footing, sir.

705
00:39:43,672 --> 00:39:45,504
Yes, Major Martin is as real
asyouorl.

706
00:39:45,841 --> 00:39:49,004
He has hobbies, debts, a girl.
They're to marry.

707
00:39:49,095 --> 00:39:50,335
-We have a ring.
-Huh. Touching.

708
00:39:50,429 --> 00:39:52,887
We believe Major Martin
should be delivered by submarine,

709
00:39:53,015 --> 00:39:55,427
rather than air dropping
and risk dismemberment.

710
00:39:55,518 --> 00:39:56,804
And we are convinced that Spain

711
00:39:56,894 --> 00:39:58,805
is still the best place
to float him ashore,

712
00:39:58,938 --> 00:40:00,178
given the fascist network there

713
00:40:00,272 --> 00:40:01,478
and Spain's neutrality.

714
00:40:02,149 --> 00:40:05,062
And we believe the plan
is ready to present, sir.

715
00:40:05,152 --> 00:40:06,358
To the prime minister.

716
00:40:07,029 --> 00:40:08,019
I agree.

717
00:40:09,990 --> 00:40:10,980
You...

718
00:40:12,118 --> 00:40:13,950
Well, er, that's excellent news.

719
00:40:14,078 --> 00:40:16,035
I'l present it to Churchill
this afternoon.

720
00:40:16,539 --> 00:40:17,574
Il need a brief.

721
00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:20,452
Well, we've prepared one for you, sir.
You'll be more than ready.

722
00:40:21,168 --> 00:40:24,377
And your partnership with Montagu.
Please.

723
00:40:25,714 --> 00:40:27,045
How has that fared?

724
00:40:29,468 --> 00:40:30,924
Nothing short of first rate, sir.

725
00:40:33,139 --> 00:40:35,927
Montagu and I think with one mind.
We, erm...

726
00:40:36,225 --> 00:40:39,308
We've developed a shorthand,
become good friends.

727
00:40:39,395 --> 00:40:41,682
Hmm. So you've met his brother,
then, Ivor?

728
00:40:41,772 --> 00:40:43,888
No, no. Montagu rarely speaks of him.

729
00:40:45,943 --> 00:40:48,184
Were you aware
he's a communist sympathiser?

730
00:40:50,448 --> 00:40:53,440
Montagu's brother? Well, it's absurd.

731
00:40:53,576 --> 00:40:56,034
Our intelligence suggests otherwise.

732
00:40:57,204 --> 00:41:00,367
Why would our intelligence
be watching Ivor Montagu?

733
00:41:05,588 --> 00:41:07,374
Whatever Ivor may or may not be,

734
00:41:09,216 --> 00:41:10,422
his brother would be unaware of it

735
00:41:12,303 --> 00:41:15,170
It's always sound policy
to keep one's ear to the ground.

736
00:41:15,264 --> 00:41:16,846
Don't you think?

737
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:21,346
Thank you.

738
00:41:23,522 --> 00:41:25,604
I shall look forward to good news
from the prime minister, sir.

739
00:41:29,195 --> 00:41:32,733
I only mention it because Charles
asked me out to dinner tonight.

740
00:41:32,823 --> 00:41:34,564
Did you invite him to join us?

741
00:41:34,700 --> 00:41:38,489
I didn't say I was going with you.
I sensed he'd be upset somehow.

742
00:41:38,621 --> 00:41:40,953
But that's silly.
The man's not a child.

743
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:42,747
Oh. I almost forgot.

744
00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:46,291
What do you think?

745
00:41:46,378 --> 00:41:47,789
It's beautiful.

746
00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:49,791
Charles and I ducked out
at lunch yesterday.

747
00:41:49,882 --> 00:41:52,749
He preferred the round cut,
but I prevailed with the marquise.

748
00:41:53,427 --> 00:41:54,462
Let's see it on.

749
00:42:01,101 --> 00:42:03,763
The only place this belongs
is in the safe.

750
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:06,646
-Admiralty property.
-Yes, of course.

751
00:42:07,775 --> 00:42:08,765
You think Pam will like it?

752
00:42:10,152 --> 00:42:11,483
I think she might.

753
00:42:22,414 --> 00:42:24,121
This should be in the safe.

754
00:42:25,668 --> 00:42:27,955
Yes. I was about to put it back.

755
00:42:28,462 --> 00:42:29,827
Wanted to show it to Jean.

756
00:42:30,923 --> 00:42:34,257
-You gave it to Jean?
-I showed it fo her.

757
00:42:34,510 --> 00:42:36,251
I wanted to see what she thought of it.

758
00:42:37,012 --> 00:42:38,798
If you're so concerned,
stow it away yourself.

759
00:42:38,931 --> 00:42:43,846
In matters of protocol,
it seems had practice, sloppy even,

760
00:42:43,936 --> 00:42:45,927
for us to be going off
as separate pairs.

761
00:42:46,063 --> 00:42:47,428
Like you and Godfrey?

762
00:42:48,107 --> 00:42:49,939
He called you in alone just now,
didn't he?

763
00:42:50,442 --> 00:42:51,557
Why was that?

764
00:42:51,652 --> 00:42:54,644
Godfrey is only happy when
he's stirring up suspicion and discord,

765
00:42:54,738 --> 00:42:56,069
-as you well know.
Room 13.

766
00:42:57,241 --> 00:42:58,572
Bentley Purchase for you.

767
00:43:00,244 --> 00:43:01,405
Yes, Bentley, what is it?

768
00:43:01,996 --> 00:43:03,907
I've had an unexpected visitor.

769
00:43:06,083 --> 00:43:08,450
Miss Michael heard
of her brother's passing

770
00:43:08,544 --> 00:43:10,205
from staff at the hospital.

771
00:43:11,046 --> 00:43:14,414
Akindly nurse who cared for him then
took it upon herself to find his kin.

772
00:43:15,426 --> 00:43:16,632
God bless her.

773
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:21,171
Please accept our deepest...

774
00:43:21,265 --> 00:43:23,802
We only had each other. You know?

775
00:43:25,894 --> 00:43:27,601
He needed looking after, Glynnie.

776
00:43:29,690 --> 00:43:31,101
But I let him go to London.

777
00:43:33,152 --> 00:43:34,142
And then...

778
00:43:38,324 --> 00:43:41,316
Stamps. Tickets.

779
00:43:43,037 --> 00:43:44,448
An unwrapped mint.

780
00:43:44,955 --> 00:43:47,413
-It's called wallet litter, sir.
-Yes, I know what it is.

781
00:43:47,541 --> 00:43:50,499
But it's the letters in the case that
are key to this deception, are they not?

782
00:43:50,628 --> 00:43:52,084
They are.

783
00:43:52,504 --> 00:43:53,665
Military correspondence

784
00:43:54,548 --> 00:43:56,755
indicating that we will invade Greece

785
00:43:57,384 --> 00:43:59,091
while hinting
that our cover plan is Sicily.

786
00:43:59,178 --> 00:44:02,716
Yes. The brief contains
details of the correspondence.

787
00:44:02,806 --> 00:44:05,969
What happens when the ink washes off
as the letter bobs in the sea?

788
00:44:07,186 --> 00:44:08,972
They need to use waterproof ink.

789
00:44:09,063 --> 00:44:11,851
Only someone planning to drown
writes in waterproof ink.

790
00:44:13,108 --> 00:44:15,065
Yes, that's true, but, er...

791
00:44:15,194 --> 00:44:16,810
A detail
your men clearly understand,

792
00:44:16,904 --> 00:44:20,989
as they state here that further testing
of undetectable waterproof inks

793
00:44:21,075 --> 00:44:22,611
remains to be done.

794
00:44:24,995 --> 00:44:26,986
Yes, good boy.  Come here.

795
00:44:28,123 --> 00:44:30,490
Given how little
you appreciated this plan, Admiral,

796
00:44:31,168 --> 00:44:33,250
Rufus and I wonder why
you're endorsing it at all.

797
00:44:33,629 --> 00:44:35,916
I am not endorsing it, Prime Minister.

798
00:44:36,924 --> 00:44:39,712
My advice is that Mincemeat is killed
before it sees the light of day.

799
00:44:40,844 --> 00:44:43,302
Our other deception plans are strategies

800
00:44:43,430 --> 00:44:45,797
designed to confuse the enemy,
throw him off balance.

801
00:44:45,891 --> 00:44:47,973
Mincemeat, on the other hand,
is an outright lie,

802
00:44:48,102 --> 00:44:51,640
a lie that if detected would expose
every single other deception as false.

803
00:44:51,772 --> 00:44:54,730
The Germans would know unequivocally
we were landing in Sicily.

804
00:44:54,817 --> 00:44:55,898
I think that's too big a risk.

805
00:44:56,819 --> 00:45:00,312
Nonetheless, I would like to keep
Mincemeat running a little longer.

806
00:45:00,406 --> 00:45:03,364
It may yield intelligence
on Ivor Montagu,

807
00:45:03,492 --> 00:45:05,028
whom we suspect is a Russian spy.

808
00:45:05,285 --> 00:45:07,071
You would put the fate
of one Russian spy

809
00:45:07,162 --> 00:45:09,073
over tens of thousands in Sicily?

810
00:45:09,164 --> 00:45:10,245
With respect, Prime Minister,

811
00:45:10,332 --> 00:45:12,073
I'm trying to look
at the bigger picture.

812
00:45:12,751 --> 00:45:14,537
Russia may be our ally at the moment,

813
00:45:14,837 --> 00:45:16,874
but she was until recently
in a pact with Germany.

814
00:45:17,506 --> 00:45:19,918
I believe she will soon be
our enemy again.

815
00:45:20,008 --> 00:45:24,844
If Ivor Montagu is spying for Moscow,
he can be turned.

816
00:45:25,055 --> 00:45:26,466
Or, if necessary, eliminated.

817
00:45:26,557 --> 00:45:29,174
This is the problem
when one is dealing with spooks.

818
00:45:29,893 --> 00:45:31,133
You do see it?

819
00:45:31,228 --> 00:45:34,061
The corkscrew thinking
required to manage spies

820
00:45:34,148 --> 00:45:36,310
sometimes twists one too many turns

821
00:45:36,942 --> 00:45:39,024
until one finds oneself charging forward

822
00:45:39,570 --> 00:45:41,937
while at the same time
looking out of one's own arse.

823
00:45:42,030 --> 00:45:44,738
I assume you're referring to me.

824
00:45:44,825 --> 00:45:46,657
Russia is tomorrow's war.

825
00:45:48,078 --> 00:45:50,069
The Nazis are expecting a deception.

826
00:45:50,998 --> 00:45:53,740
Which means that our effort
must be unbelievable enough

827
00:45:53,834 --> 00:45:54,949
to make it believable.

828
00:45:55,085 --> 00:45:58,043
The plan is risky.
Its also highly implausible.

829
00:45:58,922 --> 00:46:00,504
Meaning that all the reasons
it shouldn't work

830
00:46:00,632 --> 00:46:03,215
are the same reasons
the Germans might believe it's true.

831
00:46:03,302 --> 00:46:04,588
So when can it be ready?

832
00:46:04,720 --> 00:46:05,710
Er.

833
00:46:06,472 --> 00:46:07,803
- Immediately?
-Correct.

834
00:46:08,432 --> 00:46:09,672
Gather your resources.

835
00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:12,425
Put Mincemeat in the works as of now.

836
00:46:13,020 --> 00:46:14,181
Of course, sir.

837
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,106
Do you think we can get him buried soon?

838
00:46:24,490 --> 00:46:27,403
Not that anyone's
waiting for me at home,

839
00:46:27,493 --> 00:46:29,200
but a simple service might be nice.

840
00:46:29,328 --> 00:46:31,945
The truth is, Glyndwr is employed now.

841
00:46:33,916 --> 00:46:34,906
Employed?

842
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:36,331
In the service of his country.

843
00:46:38,170 --> 00:46:39,251
He's not dead?

844
00:46:39,338 --> 00:46:43,377
He is engaged in a top secret mission.

845
00:46:43,467 --> 00:46:45,174
As what?

846
00:46:46,804 --> 00:46:48,795
You do know that Glynnie
was never right in the head?

847
00:46:48,931 --> 00:46:54,222
Well, that may be
your experience of Glyndwr,

848
00:46:54,311 --> 00:46:59,431
but, erm, people are often
one way with family,

849
00:47:00,442 --> 00:47:02,433
a different way entirely
out in the world.

850
00:47:02,569 --> 00:47:04,901
One minute Jekyll, the next Hyde.

851
00:47:04,988 --> 00:47:07,571
“Where is he?
-We have Churchill's approval.

852
00:47:10,035 --> 00:47:11,992
As you just heard, Miss Michael,

853
00:47:12,120 --> 00:47:14,987
the prime minister has approved
the plan to make your brother a hero.

854
00:47:15,999 --> 00:47:19,458
We do understand that
this is the most enormous sacrifice.

855
00:47:19,545 --> 00:47:21,001
But his service...

856
00:47:21,588 --> 00:47:25,206
he can save literally thousands,
tens of thousands of lives.

857
00:47:25,300 --> 00:47:26,540
What did you do to him?

858
00:47:27,594 --> 00:47:31,929
Did you carve him up
for experiments? Or rations?

859
00:47:32,975 --> 00:47:35,307
Maybe you should tell the police
about what you did to my brother.

860
00:47:35,394 --> 00:47:38,682
Miss Michael,
in acknowledgement of his service,

861
00:47:39,356 --> 00:47:41,723
and empowered by
His Majesty's government

862
00:47:41,817 --> 00:47:43,524
and by Glyndwr himself,

863
00:47:43,610 --> 00:47:48,070
itis my honour to offer you
this generous remuneration.

864
00:47:49,199 --> 00:47:51,566
-You're bribing me.
-Your brother is going to war.

865
00:47:52,703 --> 00:47:54,785
He's trying to do the right thing
for his country.

866
00:47:54,872 --> 00:47:58,661
His country is trying
to do the right thing by you.

867
00:47:59,084 --> 00:48:00,119
Please.

868
00:48:03,547 --> 00:48:08,132
May Glynnie's poor,
suffering soul rest in peace.

869
00:48:09,344 --> 00:48:10,425
No thanks to you.

870
00:48:15,726 --> 00:48:17,342
May God forgive us all.

871
00:48:19,980 --> 00:48:21,061
I miss Spain already.

872
00:48:21,148 --> 00:48:23,606
There's a reason we stay
as far from headquarters as possible.

873
00:48:23,734 --> 00:48:25,896
Yes, we envy you. Daily.

874
00:48:25,986 --> 00:48:28,603
I must congratulate you,
if I may, Captain Ainsworth,

875
00:48:28,697 --> 00:48:29,858
on The Night Starling.

876
00:48:29,990 --> 00:48:31,822
I grabbed a copy at Hatchards yesterday.

877
00:48:31,950 --> 00:48:32,985
I've not been able to put it down.

878
00:48:33,076 --> 00:48:34,066
You're very kind.

879
00:48:34,161 --> 00:48:35,822
My God. Who isn't writing a novel?

880
00:48:35,913 --> 00:48:39,031
Admiral.
Our naval attaché in Madrid,

881
00:48:39,124 --> 00:48:41,456
Captain Ainsworth, is here today.

882
00:48:41,585 --> 00:48:44,919
And this is assistant naval attaché,
also from Madrid,

883
00:48:45,005 --> 00:48:46,245
Lieutenant Commander Gomez-Beare.

884
00:48:46,340 --> 00:48:48,172
Captain. Commander.

885
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:50,132
Good to know we can still
reel you gentlemen in

886
00:48:50,260 --> 00:48:51,842
from our far-flung outposts.

887
00:48:52,387 --> 00:48:54,924
Montagu and Cholmondeley
will run the briefing today.

888
00:48:55,057 --> 00:48:56,172
The operation is theirs,

889
00:48:56,266 --> 00:48:58,758
and, being theirs,
is now theirs to fuck up.

890
00:49:01,730 --> 00:49:03,391
Quite a vote of confidence.

891
00:49:04,983 --> 00:49:09,068
Our story begins
in the Spanish fishing port of Huelva,

892
00:49:09,196 --> 00:49:12,564
on the Gulf of Cadiz,
where Major William Martin,

893
00:49:12,658 --> 00:49:15,571
a British officer
bearing classified letters,

894
00:49:15,702 --> 00:49:20,037
will wash up on shore after his plane
has been tragically lost.

895
00:49:20,916 --> 00:49:23,999
The officer is not an officer.
The papers are false.

896
00:49:24,127 --> 00:49:26,744
The plane crash will not have occurred.

897
00:49:26,838 --> 00:49:30,251
Instead, we will release
our man from a submarine,

898
00:49:30,968 --> 00:49:33,460
in order to exploit the Nazi spy trail

899
00:49:33,553 --> 00:49:36,545
which begins in Huelva,
Don Gomez-Beare's territory,

900
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:39,507
and then moves to Madrid,
Captain Ainsworth's turf,

901
00:49:40,018 --> 00:49:42,385
and ends in the heart
of German intelligence,

902
00:49:42,479 --> 00:49:44,345
the Abwehr, in Berlin.

903
00:49:44,982 --> 00:49:47,895
We will need to move
these fake documents quickly,

904
00:49:48,026 --> 00:49:50,768
with the help
of two key German operatives,

905
00:49:51,279 --> 00:49:53,145
Karl Kuhlenthal in Madrid

906
00:49:53,240 --> 00:49:56,904
and his right-hand man
in Huelva, Adolf Clauss.

907
00:49:56,994 --> 00:49:58,951
Clauss is an exceptional spy,

908
00:49:59,037 --> 00:50:01,244
and if a body washes up
in Huelva with papers,

909
00:50:01,331 --> 00:50:04,198
Adolf Clauss will get
his hands on those papers.

910
00:50:04,334 --> 00:50:07,167
Clauss reports to Karl Kuhlenthal,

911
00:50:07,254 --> 00:50:11,339
in Madrid, where Kuhlenthal is seen
as a golden boy by the Abwehr.

912
00:50:11,425 --> 00:50:15,544
But MI5 have found Kuhlenthal
to be a one-man espionage disaster,

913
00:50:15,637 --> 00:50:18,800
gullible, incompetent,
and he happens to be one quarter Jewish,

914
00:50:19,641 --> 00:50:23,430
where, under Hitler's regime,
even a drop of Jewish blood means death.

915
00:50:24,813 --> 00:50:26,269
Although, luckily for Kuhlenthal,

916
00:50:26,356 --> 00:50:29,269
he was recently cleared
as a "good German,"

917
00:50:29,359 --> 00:50:31,771
and he is now desperate
to impress his superiors

918
00:50:31,862 --> 00:50:34,695
before Berlin remembers
that he is Jewish after all.

919
00:50:34,781 --> 00:50:39,196
So we need Clauss because he is
a good spy and will get the papers,

920
00:50:39,327 --> 00:50:43,571
Kuhlenthal because he is a bad one
and will believe them.

921
00:50:43,957 --> 00:50:47,325
Together, they ensure the best chance
that our documents will land in Berlin,

922
00:50:47,419 --> 00:50:50,628
Where success depends
on another key figure,

923
00:50:50,756 --> 00:50:55,091
Hitler's favoured adviser,
Colonel Alexis von Roenne.

924
00:50:55,844 --> 00:50:57,755
Von Roenne controls
military intelligence

925
00:50:57,846 --> 00:50:59,086
at Nazi High Command,

926
00:50:59,181 --> 00:51:02,549
and Hitler will not believe anything
without von Roenne's blessing,

927
00:51:03,185 --> 00:51:06,052
which is a challenge for us
because von Roenne is brilliant.

928
00:51:06,188 --> 00:51:07,474
Areal spy's spy.

929
00:51:08,065 --> 00:51:09,476
Although, there have been rumours...

930
00:51:09,566 --> 00:51:11,352
And at this point, only rumours,

931
00:51:11,485 --> 00:51:13,692
..that von Roenne
has turned against the Fiihrer,

932
00:51:14,571 --> 00:51:17,154
and that he and a group
of anti-Nazi plotters

933
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:20,028
are trying to destroy
the Nazi war machine from within.

934
00:51:20,619 --> 00:51:24,032
We've heard rumblings
of this anti-Hitler faction before.

935
00:51:24,498 --> 00:51:27,866
We judge it to be a ruse
to infiltrate our inner circle.

936
00:51:28,001 --> 00:51:29,583
So we will proceed as planned.

937
00:51:29,669 --> 00:51:31,660
The prime minister
wants all resources employed

938
00:51:31,755 --> 00:51:33,337
to make Mincemeat so convincing

939
00:51:33,465 --> 00:51:35,923
that von Roenne believes it,
Hitler believes it

940
00:51:36,051 --> 00:51:39,169
and even we believe
we are landing in Greece.

941
00:51:39,304 --> 00:51:40,760
To that end, we are preparing

942
00:51:40,847 --> 00:51:42,679
the fake documents
for the briefcase now...

943
00:51:43,975 --> 00:51:46,182
..the key one being
an off-the-record letter

944
00:51:46,311 --> 00:51:48,097
between Generals Nye and Alexander,

945
00:51:48,188 --> 00:51:52,432
and in that letter,
the lie about Greece is planted.

946
00:51:52,526 --> 00:51:55,063
Of course we'll get
our letter approved tomorrow.

947
00:51:55,195 --> 00:51:58,654
But you simply must sit on Q-Branch

948
00:51:59,282 --> 00:52:00,363
to deliver our canister.

949
00:52:00,492 --> 00:52:02,278
And then on to the submarine.

950
00:52:03,620 --> 00:52:05,076
Dear God, what about
the bloody submarine?

951
00:52:05,163 --> 00:52:07,325
How are you getting on with Eisenhower?

952
00:52:07,457 --> 00:52:10,540
Cut and dried.
The letter must have a natural tone.

953
00:52:10,627 --> 00:52:12,709
"Hope all is well.
The general sends his best."

954
00:52:12,796 --> 00:52:15,128
Hmm. Can't have them
cackling like two hens.

955
00:52:15,215 --> 00:52:17,502
Archie Nye and Harold Alexander
are old friends.

956
00:52:17,592 --> 00:52:19,674
I've had letters from the bank manager
with more zing.

957
00:52:19,761 --> 00:52:20,922
It's a first draft.

958
00:52:21,972 --> 00:52:23,633
We can't allow personal flourishes

959
00:52:23,723 --> 00:52:26,465
to distract
from the military misinformation

960
00:52:26,560 --> 00:52:27,766
we need Hitler to swallow.

961
00:52:27,853 --> 00:52:30,015
No. Unless we want
to bore him to death first.

962
00:52:31,022 --> 00:52:34,185
And now, Hester has asked me
if she can write the love letter

963
00:52:34,276 --> 00:52:36,017
we're putting in Major Martin's pocket.

964
00:52:36,111 --> 00:52:39,149
She should write it and then submit it
to your withering gaze.

965
00:52:43,535 --> 00:52:46,118
Do you know where Jean stands
with Sergeant Dearborn?

966
00:52:46,246 --> 00:52:47,486
~The American?
-Yeah,

967
00:52:47,581 --> 00:52:48,912
I think she's moved on.

968
00:52:48,999 --> 00:52:50,285
Did she tell you that?

969
00:52:51,793 --> 00:52:54,125
You do see Jean outside of work,
don't you?

970
00:52:54,212 --> 00:52:56,453
We will occasionally work over dinner

971
00:52:56,548 --> 00:52:58,084
to iron out Bill and Pam details

972
00:52:58,216 --> 00:52:59,832
for verisimilitude's sake.

973
00:52:59,926 --> 00:53:01,087
Verisimilitude.

974
00:53:02,095 --> 00:53:06,054
For instance, tonight,
we are placing the ticket stubs,

975
00:53:06,766 --> 00:53:09,758
as agreed, next to the receipt
for Pam's ring

976
00:53:09,895 --> 00:53:11,226
in the major's breast pocket.

977
00:53:11,313 --> 00:53:12,724
Trouser pocket.

978
00:53:12,856 --> 00:53:15,268
His breast pocket is where
he keeps her photograph.

979
00:53:15,358 --> 00:53:18,692
Sorry, we're late.
It's bedlam out there.

980
00:53:18,778 --> 00:53:22,897
It's true. We're all like moles now,
scurrying around in the dark.

981
00:53:22,991 --> 00:53:26,325
"When one blind man leadeth another,
they both fall in a ditch."

982
00:53:37,297 --> 00:53:38,787
You out again tonight?

983
00:53:38,965 --> 00:53:42,708
My reputation as a slouch
must be upheld, even in war.

984
00:53:43,428 --> 00:53:46,921
And you, busy writing away.
Writing what?

985
00:53:47,682 --> 00:53:49,138
Supply requisitions mostly.

986
00:53:49,517 --> 00:53:50,632
Uh-huh.

987
00:53:55,106 --> 00:53:58,690
"Do you take the same size hat
or a larger size like Monty's?"

988
00:53:58,777 --> 00:53:59,892
Good, isn't it?

989
00:53:59,986 --> 00:54:02,227
Spartan general, big head, bigger ego.

990
00:54:03,531 --> 00:54:04,566
It's a joke.

991
00:54:04,658 --> 00:54:06,194
This is hardly
the place for jokes.

992
00:54:06,284 --> 00:54:09,197
Everyone feels it could do
with alterations and improvements.

993
00:54:09,287 --> 00:54:10,277
Everyone?

994
00:54:10,413 --> 00:54:11,653
The Twenty Committee,
Chiefs of Staff,

995
00:54:11,748 --> 00:54:13,705
Naval Intelligence, Q-Branch,

996
00:54:13,792 --> 00:54:14,953
MIS, Mig.

997
00:54:16,711 --> 00:54:20,079
To retard decomposition,
the body must be tightly sealed.

998
00:54:20,590 --> 00:54:24,174
The canister's double skin
will be made from 22-gauge steel,

999
00:54:24,261 --> 00:54:27,174
then insulated with
asbestos wool and dry ice.

1000
00:54:27,264 --> 00:54:30,632
Heat and oxygen.
A corpse's deadly enemies.

1001
00:54:30,934 --> 00:54:32,345
And the watch? What does it do?

1002
00:54:33,353 --> 00:54:34,343
Buzz saw.

1003
00:54:34,437 --> 00:54:36,428
Buzz saw? Is that code for...

1004
00:54:36,982 --> 00:54:38,063
For buzz saw.

1005
00:54:38,525 --> 00:54:41,187
The bezel's edges are filed
into razor-sharp teeth.

1006
00:54:43,697 --> 00:54:47,361
We'll all be lit up as the Strand was

1007
00:54:47,450 --> 00:54:49,987
Only more, much more

1008
00:54:50,370 --> 00:54:53,078
And before the party's played out

1009
00:54:53,164 --> 00:54:55,952
They will fetch the fire brigade out

1010
00:54:56,042 --> 00:55:00,707
To the littest-uppist scene
you ever saw!

1011
00:55:02,340 --> 00:55:04,331
So what
I'm asking, Lieutenant Jewell,

1012
00:55:04,426 --> 00:55:07,760
is whether or not your submarine
can accommodate a six-foot thermos.

1013
00:55:07,887 --> 00:55:09,377
Technically, I suppose.

1014
00:55:10,181 --> 00:55:12,422
But my crew on the Seraph
are a sharp lot.

1015
00:55:12,517 --> 00:55:13,723
What would I tell them?

1016
00:55:13,810 --> 00:55:16,723
Tell them it contains top secret
meteorological reporting apparatus.

1017
00:55:16,855 --> 00:55:18,220
Sounds like the stuff of fiction.

1018
00:55:18,315 --> 00:55:20,056
You're not a writer as well, are you?

1019
00:55:21,234 --> 00:55:22,941
We're surrounded by them, you know.

1020
00:55:23,069 --> 00:55:24,730
Germans?
Writers.

1021
00:55:28,533 --> 00:55:33,448
"Please ask your ADC
fo send me some oranges if possible.”

1022
00:55:33,538 --> 00:55:36,121
General Nye can't be made
to sound like a scrounger.

1023
00:55:36,207 --> 00:55:38,198
Even to the Germans.
Especially to the Germans.

1024
00:55:38,293 --> 00:55:40,455
But he does need
to sound like a human,

1025
00:55:40,587 --> 00:55:43,204
which is what I have
rather artfully achieved.

1026
00:55:43,298 --> 00:55:45,005
Millions of lives are at stake.

1027
00:55:45,592 --> 00:55:48,084
The letter will be revised
until everyone is satisfied.

1028
00:55:50,138 --> 00:55:51,720
Draft...
-Fourteen.

1029
00:55:52,307 --> 00:55:54,173
With the day still young.

1030
00:55:54,309 --> 00:55:55,344
We're out of time.

1031
00:55:55,977 --> 00:55:58,639
Jewell can hold the submarine
for the next fortnight only.

1032
00:55:59,147 --> 00:56:01,434
And the Seraph is in Scotland,
docked at the Holy Loch.

1033
00:56:01,524 --> 00:56:02,639
Not Siberia?

1034
00:56:05,445 --> 00:56:07,527
You know the irony
of this preposterous stalemate

1035
00:56:07,655 --> 00:56:10,363
is that if Archie Nye were
composing this letter himself,

1036
00:56:10,450 --> 00:56:11,656
he'd write it any damn way...

1037
00:56:13,161 --> 00:56:14,447
he pleased.

1038
00:56:21,503 --> 00:56:22,709
It's dull as ditch water.

1039
00:56:22,837 --> 00:56:24,703
General Nye
is dull as ditch water,

1040
00:56:24,839 --> 00:56:26,455
which is why a charmless

1041
00:56:26,549 --> 00:56:29,086
and utterly boring letter is perfect.

1042
00:56:29,219 --> 00:56:32,132
And the general was only too happy
to put pen to paper once I asked.

1043
00:56:33,014 --> 00:56:34,630
And far be it from me to point out,

1044
00:56:34,724 --> 00:56:38,217
but his version is a near carbon copy
of my very first draft.

1045
00:56:38,686 --> 00:56:41,428
There is a chain of command,
and for you to go directly to Nye...

1046
00:56:41,523 --> 00:56:44,356
Whatever punishment you deem fit, sir,
1 will fully accept.

1047
00:56:44,442 --> 00:56:47,776
Although, General Nye did ask why
we hadn't come to him straightaway.

1048
00:56:48,780 --> 00:56:52,364
Admiral, Major Martin is overripe

1049
00:56:52,867 --> 00:56:54,574
and must be launched on April the 30th,

1050
00:56:54,661 --> 00:56:57,073
the next waning moon,
only two weeks away

1051
00:56:57,163 --> 00:56:59,951
and the only window where
we have access to the Seraph.

1052
00:57:00,375 --> 00:57:02,161
And in keeping
with the chain of command,

1053
00:57:02,293 --> 00:57:05,752
it is you alone who can
grant us approval to proceed.

1054
00:57:11,010 --> 00:57:14,969
To the most satisfying moment...

1055
00:57:15,723 --> 00:57:17,179
Hear, hear!

1056
00:57:17,267 --> 00:57:18,348
..of the last two months.

1057
00:57:18,435 --> 00:57:20,927
Cheers.
Cheers. To us.

1058
00:57:21,020 --> 00:57:23,682
And Pam's letter, Hester, how many
revisions has that gone through?

1059
00:57:23,773 --> 00:57:26,606
Oh, many, but I think I finished
a passable version today.

1060
00:57:26,693 --> 00:57:27,683
Well, then, we must hear it.

1061
00:57:27,777 --> 00:57:29,142
Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a love letter.

1062
00:57:29,237 --> 00:57:31,854
It's your moment to shine, Hester.
A dry run before Fritz has a look.

1063
00:57:31,948 --> 00:57:33,313
Oh, I'm not one for the spotlight.

1064
00:57:33,408 --> 00:57:35,740
Oh, what spotlight, Hes? It's just us.

1065
00:57:36,870 --> 00:57:38,201
No, no, I can't.
Yes, you can.

1066
00:57:38,288 --> 00:57:40,996
-You can. Please.
Please. Please.

1067
00:57:41,082 --> 00:57:42,288
Well, if you're all so keen...

1068
00:57:42,375 --> 00:57:43,957
Yes, we are.
We are.

1069
00:57:56,264 --> 00:57:57,675
You read it.

1070
00:58:15,783 --> 00:58:20,949
"The Manor House, Marlborough,
Wiltshire, Sunday 18th.

1071
00:58:21,748 --> 00:58:23,864
"My dearest Bill,

1072
00:58:23,958 --> 00:58:26,620
"I think seeing one's beloved
off at the railway

1073
00:58:26,711 --> 00:58:29,294
"is the poorest form of sport.

1074
00:58:29,380 --> 00:58:32,873
"A train going out can leave
a howling gap in one's days

1075
00:58:32,967 --> 00:58:35,675
"and one has to try madly
and quite in vain

1076
00:58:35,762 --> 00:58:38,800
"to fill it with the things
one used to enjoy."

1077
00:58:41,601 --> 00:58:44,514
"Why did we have to meet
in the middle of a war?

1078
00:58:45,730 --> 00:58:49,314
"For if it weren't for this madness,
we might be married by now,

1079
00:58:49,400 --> 00:58:53,268
"and I wouldn't be in this dreary office
typing minutes all day.

1080
00:58:54,739 --> 00:58:58,448
"That last lovely golden day
we spent together,

1081
00:58:59,869 --> 00:59:01,951
"I never wanted it to end.

1082
00:59:02,956 --> 00:59:05,197
"And I know it has been said before,

1083
00:59:06,167 --> 00:59:09,705
"but I do wish
that time could stand still,

1084
00:59:09,796 --> 00:59:11,582
"even for just a minute.

1085
00:59:13,591 --> 00:59:17,425
"So don't let them
send you off into the blue

1086
00:59:17,512 --> 00:59:20,800
"the horrible way they do these days.

1087
00:59:22,225 --> 00:59:25,092
"Now that we've found each other
out of the whole world,

1088
00:59:25,186 --> 00:59:27,268
"I don't think I could bear it.

1089
00:59:29,649 --> 00:59:31,014
"All my love.

1090
00:59:32,652 --> 00:59:34,063
"Pam."

1091
00:59:37,991 --> 00:59:38,981
Wait.

1092
00:59:41,035 --> 00:59:42,525
You have an eyelash.

1093
00:59:53,381 --> 00:59:54,837
I'l see you tomorrow.

1094
01:00:05,852 --> 01:00:08,139
For you. From upstairs.

1095
01:00:33,463 --> 01:00:37,297
So you agree, then?
Ivor Montagu is spying for the Russians?

1096
01:00:38,343 --> 01:00:40,459
His file seemed fo indicate that he is.

1097
01:00:41,304 --> 01:00:43,136
He's not yet revealed
Mincemeat to the Soviets.

1098
01:00:43,222 --> 01:00:45,463
We would have picked it up
at Bletchley if he had.

1099
01:00:45,558 --> 01:00:46,969
But that's not to say that he won't.

1100
01:00:47,060 --> 01:00:48,221
There is nothing to suggest

1101
01:00:48,311 --> 01:00:50,348
that Ewen discusses anything
with his brother.

1102
01:00:50,438 --> 01:00:51,974
And nothing to prove that he doesn't.

1103
01:00:53,441 --> 01:00:56,900
Now, we could send Ewen to America
to be with his wife and children.

1104
01:00:56,986 --> 01:00:59,853
Might make it easier
to keep an eye on his brother.

1105
01:00:59,947 --> 01:01:01,938
You'd get the credit for Mincemeat,
should it succeed.

1106
01:01:02,033 --> 01:01:03,774
It was your idea, after all.

1107
01:01:04,911 --> 01:01:08,199
Or we could keep him here.

1108
01:01:08,915 --> 01:01:09,996
You are asking me

1109
01:01:10,083 --> 01:01:12,575
to spy on a man I work beside every day.

1110
01:01:12,669 --> 01:01:15,502
I'm asking you to assess the danger
to your country.

1111
01:01:17,840 --> 01:01:19,831
You also have a brother, don't you?

1112
01:01:19,926 --> 01:01:22,884
Had a brother. Fallen in Chittagong.

1113
01:01:22,970 --> 01:01:23,960
Hmm.

1114
01:01:24,055 --> 01:01:26,592
And your mother's desperate
to have his body brought home.

1115
01:01:29,435 --> 01:01:33,224
I've knocked on many doors,
but so far, nothing.

1116
01:01:34,816 --> 01:01:36,227
Until now.

1117
01:01:42,532 --> 01:01:45,900
Fold the letter,
but each fold only once.

1118
01:01:46,786 --> 01:01:48,572
Then we'll photograph the folds.

1119
01:01:48,663 --> 01:01:51,530
If the letter is retuned,
the wear to the fibres will show

1120
01:01:51,624 --> 01:01:53,080
whether or not it's been opened.

1121
01:01:54,293 --> 01:01:56,534
Then the eyelash idea,
which is a good one.

1122
01:01:56,629 --> 01:01:58,165
What eyelash idea?

1123
01:01:58,256 --> 01:02:00,418
We place an eyelash in the fold.

1124
01:02:00,508 --> 01:02:02,044
If the lash is gone upon return,

1125
01:02:02,135 --> 01:02:04,342
it's another sign
the letter's been read.

1126
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,843
The bigger worry is ensuring
that the letter arrives in Berlin.

1127
01:02:10,685 --> 01:02:12,016
Ifit lands with the Spanish navy,

1128
01:02:12,103 --> 01:02:14,014
there's a good chance
they could return it to us,

1129
01:02:14,105 --> 01:02:15,311
unopened and unread.

1130
01:02:15,398 --> 01:02:17,810
That's if the letter
arrives in Spain at all.

1131
01:02:18,651 --> 01:02:19,857
It's a big sea.

1132
01:02:19,944 --> 01:02:22,732
Many detours await one little briefcase.

1133
01:02:24,282 --> 01:02:25,693
Pam's letter.

1134
01:02:28,536 --> 01:02:33,576
New love, so handled, worn.

1135
01:02:35,501 --> 01:02:37,117
And the photograph.

1136
01:02:43,134 --> 01:02:44,795
And the briefcase.

1137
01:03:00,526 --> 01:03:02,688
Let's slide him in and seal him up.

1138
01:03:14,123 --> 01:03:16,581
He doesn't look like a driver for MIS,

1139
01:03:16,667 --> 01:03:18,408
Looks like Errol Flynn.

1140
01:03:18,503 --> 01:03:20,335
What drink is he on? His fifth?

1141
01:03:21,214 --> 01:03:22,249
Sixth, I think.

1142
01:03:22,340 --> 01:03:24,957
Last round, Teddy.
And then we really must cut him off.

1143
01:03:25,051 --> 01:03:27,463
It'll be an interesting drive
to Scotland.

1144
01:03:28,721 --> 01:03:31,304
You should give Jock Horsfall a wink.

1145
01:03:31,390 --> 01:03:34,052
He may be pickled, but he's also single.

1146
01:03:34,143 --> 01:03:36,384
Except you're seeing Roger.

1147
01:03:37,522 --> 01:03:39,934
No, I haven't seen much of Roger.

1148
01:03:40,024 --> 01:03:41,765
Not now we're so busy.

1149
01:03:42,902 --> 01:03:44,688
We were just friends.

1150
01:03:44,779 --> 01:03:47,066
Oh, well, his loss.

1151
01:03:48,074 --> 01:03:49,485
See you tomorrow.

1152
01:03:57,792 --> 01:04:01,456
So, Jock, how many times
have you made the trip to Holy Loch?

1153
01:04:01,546 --> 01:04:04,004
Oh, I can do it with my eyes closed.

1154
01:04:04,090 --> 01:04:07,833
Sometimes have to if my astigmatism's
playing up.

1155
01:04:07,927 --> 01:04:09,793
But dead of night's
a jolly time to drive.

1156
01:04:09,887 --> 01:04:12,049
And you'll have my van. Customised V8.

1157
01:04:12,139 --> 01:04:14,346
She can run
upwards of 125 miles per hour.

1158
01:04:14,433 --> 01:04:15,423
I was there, you know,

1159
01:04:15,518 --> 01:04:18,556
when you thrashed those
six BMWs at Donington Park.

1160
01:04:18,646 --> 01:04:20,387
That was my black car.

1161
01:04:20,481 --> 01:04:26,944
MIS make me garage her
now that I'm an official chauffeur.

1162
01:04:27,864 --> 01:04:29,855
Say she's a menace on the road.

1163
01:04:32,660 --> 01:04:34,025
But I do miss her.

1164
01:04:40,751 --> 01:04:41,786
I'l give you a moment.

1165
01:04:46,465 --> 01:04:49,298
So, this tin can of yours, What's in it?

1166
01:04:49,969 --> 01:04:52,085
Hmm? Oh, optical equipment.

1167
01:04:52,179 --> 01:04:53,260
Bollocks.

1168
01:04:54,599 --> 01:04:56,886
You know how high my clearance goes?

1169
01:04:57,852 --> 01:04:59,263
It's a dead body.

1170
01:05:00,354 --> 01:05:03,142
We're going to play
a humiliating trick on Hitler.

1171
01:05:08,446 --> 01:05:11,484
-Is he even capable of driving now?
-I fear we're about to find out.

1172
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:17,364
Anyway, erm,
since it's Major Martin's last night...

1173
01:05:37,475 --> 01:05:42,311
It seems strange, doesn't it,
sending our dear major off to die?

1174
01:05:42,396 --> 01:05:44,512
You do know he's already dead?

1175
01:05:44,607 --> 01:05:47,975
In a way, yes,
but in another, he's very much alive,

1176
01:05:48,069 --> 01:05:50,811
our clever, dashing man.

1177
01:05:50,905 --> 01:05:53,488
Which is why I'd like
to thank you, Charles.

1178
01:05:53,574 --> 01:05:55,781
It's been a grand adventure.

1179
01:05:55,868 --> 01:05:57,199
For the two of you.

1180
01:05:58,120 --> 01:05:59,576
For all of us.

1181
01:06:02,708 --> 01:06:04,540
We gave Bill a life

1182
01:06:05,169 --> 01:06:07,536
one Glyndwr Michael never had.

1183
01:06:07,630 --> 01:06:09,246
We gave him Pam.

1184
01:06:12,802 --> 01:06:13,917
I wanted Pam.

1185
01:06:18,057 --> 01:06:19,263
I only mean...

1186
01:06:20,643 --> 01:06:24,102
that our imaginings
often surpass what is real, don't they?

1187
01:06:27,358 --> 01:06:29,565
I come home every night
to a bereft mother,

1188
01:06:29,652 --> 01:06:31,563
pining for her favoured son.

1189
01:06:32,279 --> 01:06:34,111
Hester lives a spinster's life,

1190
01:06:34,198 --> 01:06:36,656
working round the clock
rather than face an empty bed.

1191
01:06:38,411 --> 01:06:40,903
Ewen's real life is off in America,

1192
01:06:40,997 --> 01:06:42,203
where he must worry about the safety

1193
01:06:42,289 --> 01:06:44,530
of his wife and children
until they return.

1194
01:06:46,460 --> 01:06:47,825
Or did he not mention that to you?

1195
01:06:49,630 --> 01:06:52,463
He said something about America.

1196
01:06:57,138 --> 01:06:59,800
It's all a game to him, you know.

1197
01:07:00,516 --> 01:07:01,927
You do know that?

1198
01:07:02,018 --> 01:07:06,057
All the dinners and dancing...

1199
01:07:07,273 --> 01:07:09,389
Not that I blame him.

1200
01:07:09,483 --> 01:07:12,976
Who wouldn't want the attentions
of a beautiful woman? But, erm...

1201
01:07:14,321 --> 01:07:18,315
There's even talk of Ewen joining Iris
and the children in America.

1202
01:07:19,118 --> 01:07:21,655
Families should be together
during wartime.

1203
01:07:22,621 --> 01:07:23,827
Don't you think?

1204
01:07:25,416 --> 01:07:28,454
I think I stepped on your toe.

1205
01:07:29,045 --> 01:07:31,036
Oh. Well, at least
it wasn't me for once.

1206
01:07:31,130 --> 01:07:33,167
I've got such a busy day tomorrow.

1207
01:07:33,257 --> 01:07:34,543
I really must go.

1208
01:07:46,228 --> 01:07:50,267
-Jean. Jean, you're not leaving?
-I am, obviously.

1209
01:07:50,357 --> 01:07:53,770
But why? Jean, what has happened?

1210
01:07:53,861 --> 01:07:58,981
I have been overcome with embarrassment
at my own stupidity.

1211
01:07:59,075 --> 01:08:02,318
This game we've been playing,

1212
01:08:02,411 --> 01:08:05,699
Bill and Pam, the young lovers,
as if you and I were...

1213
01:08:05,790 --> 01:08:08,282
As if this weren't a real war.

1214
01:08:09,919 --> 01:08:12,456
Do you not realise
people are talking about us?

1215
01:08:12,546 --> 01:08:14,207
Is this about gossip?

1216
01:08:15,049 --> 01:08:16,756
What does it matter what people say?

1217
01:08:16,842 --> 01:08:18,503
We both know
there's nothing going on here.

1218
01:08:21,138 --> 01:08:23,220
I don't... I don't mean
"nothing" as in...

1219
01:08:26,018 --> 01:08:29,682
I left behind childish games
many years ago, Ewen.

1220
01:08:30,815 --> 01:08:33,102
The day I buried the man I loved.

1221
01:08:35,194 --> 01:08:37,982
And while my life
may not look like much to you,

1222
01:08:38,072 --> 01:08:41,155
I have made my way, alone,

1223
01:08:41,742 --> 01:08:44,700
with the occasional admirer
to pass the time.

1224
01:08:46,956 --> 01:08:51,917
It's certainly easier, and safer, so...

1225
01:08:55,089 --> 01:08:56,579
You'll be late for your drive,

1226
01:08:57,550 --> 01:08:58,836
and I'm going home.

1227
01:09:14,733 --> 01:09:16,474
No dallying, ladies.

1228
01:09:16,569 --> 01:09:18,151
We've a clock to beat,

1229
01:09:18,237 --> 01:09:21,355
and we'll have to feel our way along,
thanks to the blackout.

1230
01:09:22,158 --> 01:09:24,240
I saw you talking to Jean tonight.

1231
01:09:25,244 --> 01:09:26,279
What were you saying?

1232
01:09:26,370 --> 01:09:29,078
I was apologising for my dancing.

1233
01:09:33,544 --> 01:09:35,876
It's easier to accept death
when you can't see it coming.

1234
01:09:59,737 --> 01:10:01,353
You stupid egjt!

1235
01:10:14,376 --> 01:10:15,832
It's curious.

1236
01:10:17,254 --> 01:10:18,289
About your brother.

1237
01:10:19,089 --> 01:10:20,079
My brother?

1238
01:10:21,300 --> 01:10:24,418
You never speak of him.
He does live with you, doesn't he?

1239
01:10:26,472 --> 01:10:27,803
He travels mostly.

1240
01:10:28,641 --> 01:10:30,973
Although I'm not sure why
that's any of your business.

1241
01:10:32,228 --> 01:10:34,720
Or why you would say something
to upset Jean tonight.

1242
01:10:37,316 --> 01:10:39,808
Godfrey thinks Ivor's a communist.

1243
01:10:40,444 --> 01:10:43,527
-You've spoken to Godfrey about Ivor?
-Godfrey brought him up.

1244
01:10:45,157 --> 01:10:47,239
Well, Godfrey despises eccentrics.

1245
01:10:48,035 --> 01:10:50,151
Aren't all spies eccentrics?

1246
01:10:50,246 --> 01:10:53,364
Ivor is a dilettante,
an inveterate ne'er-do-well

1247
01:10:53,457 --> 01:10:55,869
who founded the Cheese Eaters' League
in Cambridge

1248
01:10:55,960 --> 01:10:58,918
and the International
Table Tennis Federation in London.

1249
01:10:59,797 --> 01:11:01,253
And his trips to Moscow?

1250
01:11:02,758 --> 01:11:06,001
My brother joined the British
Socialist Party for five minutes.

1251
01:11:06,095 --> 01:11:08,507
About as long as his interest
in anything lasts.

1252
01:11:35,416 --> 01:11:36,747
Down here.

1253
01:11:41,588 --> 01:11:42,623
Excellent timing.

1254
01:11:43,966 --> 01:11:45,377
Well ahead of schedule.

1255
01:11:46,260 --> 01:11:49,252
But, then, I'd expect nothing less
from His Majesty's finest.

1256
01:11:49,346 --> 01:11:50,677
Finest what?

1257
01:11:50,764 --> 01:11:53,506
I think my testicles dislodged
somewhere near Dumfries.

1258
01:11:56,103 --> 01:11:57,764
And good news, Lieutenant.

1259
01:11:57,855 --> 01:11:59,471
I was able to honour your request.

1260
01:11:59,565 --> 01:12:02,148
Much appreciated.
I know it was last minute. Thank you.

1261
01:12:02,234 --> 01:12:03,645
What request?

1262
01:12:03,736 --> 01:12:06,603
Jewell was good enough
to find me a bunk on the Seraph.

1263
01:12:06,697 --> 01:12:08,859
What do you mean, on the Seraph?

1264
01:12:08,949 --> 01:12:11,691
Someone should accompany Major Martin
to his final resting place.

1265
01:12:11,785 --> 01:12:15,119
-That would be Spain.
-Yes, where the Seraph is headed.

1266
01:12:15,205 --> 01:12:16,946
Are you out of your mind?

1267
01:12:17,041 --> 01:12:18,748
We didn't get clearance
to go to Spain with him.

1268
01:12:18,834 --> 01:12:19,915
We didn't even discuss it.

1269
01:12:20,002 --> 01:12:22,084
Don't you think that one of us
should show some respect

1270
01:12:22,171 --> 01:12:23,912
for a man who gave his life,

1271
01:12:24,006 --> 01:12:26,589
and who now serves us
and his country so nobly?

1272
01:12:26,675 --> 01:12:27,961
If unwittingly.

1273
01:12:29,219 --> 01:12:32,302
Don't you think at least one of us
ought to do the right thing?

1274
01:12:39,021 --> 01:12:42,230
We're going straight through
back to London. Now.

1275
01:12:43,525 --> 01:12:45,311
-I'm driving.

1276
01:13:19,478 --> 01:13:21,094
Do you know what time it is?

1277
01:13:21,355 --> 01:13:23,346
I just need a moment.

1278
01:13:25,651 --> 01:13:27,608
There's an apology I must make to you.

1279
01:13:27,694 --> 01:13:29,651
And then I promise I'l go.

1280
01:13:32,282 --> 01:13:35,991
I wasn't being honest with you,
or even myself,

1281
01:13:36,120 --> 01:13:37,736
when I said there's nothing between us.

1282
01:13:41,083 --> 01:13:42,619
In fact, the very opposite is true.

1283
01:13:45,462 --> 01:13:47,453
My life is complicated.

1284
01:13:48,882 --> 01:13:52,716
It's not an excuse
or a defence or anything, really.

1285
01:13:54,471 --> 01:13:55,882
Only to say...

1286
01:14:00,644 --> 01:14:02,635
that my feelings for you are real.

1287
01:14:05,524 --> 01:14:07,982
I should have realised that
along time ago.

1288
01:14:11,572 --> 01:14:14,735
Perhaps I might have spared you
the embarrassment of last night.

1289
01:14:15,909 --> 01:14:18,571
-Because if I in any way...
-You didn't.

1290
01:14:20,247 --> 01:14:22,989
I know you have a wife and family.

1291
01:14:25,752 --> 01:14:27,083
I do.

1292
01:14:30,048 --> 01:14:33,541
And you and I, we have a war to win.

1293
01:14:34,386 --> 01:14:38,630
Major Martin is in dangerous waters now.

1294
01:14:39,433 --> 01:14:41,140
He'll need us more than ever.

1295
01:14:46,315 --> 01:14:48,306
I hope you're able to sleep.

1296
01:16:18,824 --> 01:16:20,986
I left my Bible below decks.

1297
01:16:28,417 --> 01:16:30,499
"In the twinkling of an eye,

1298
01:16:32,129 --> 01:16:33,995
"at the last call:

1299
01:16:34,923 --> 01:16:36,664
"for the trumpet shall sound,

1300
01:16:37,676 --> 01:16:41,169
"and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible,

1301
01:16:42,014 --> 01:16:44,005
"and we shall all be changed."

1302
01:16:48,353 --> 01:16:49,889
Have we heard anything?

1303
01:16:49,980 --> 01:16:51,516
Not yet.

1304
01:17:02,451 --> 01:17:04,692
I thought I might take a moment.

1305
01:17:05,329 --> 01:17:07,240
Say a prayer to St Jude.

1306
01:17:12,919 --> 01:17:14,910
Shall we pray for Major Martin?

1307
01:17:17,382 --> 01:17:18,622
For Major Martin.

1308
01:17:21,053 --> 01:17:23,044
For the success of our mission.

1309
01:17:25,349 --> 01:17:27,135
For those we love.

1310
01:18:06,473 --> 01:18:08,635
Paco.
~

1311
01:18:38,380 --> 01:18:41,372
And so the hidden war continues.

1312
01:18:46,722 --> 01:18:48,383
Lies are whispered anew.

1313
01:18:50,058 --> 01:18:52,015
Shadows still flicker.

1314
01:18:54,438 --> 01:18:59,399
Even the ground refuses to steady
in this wilderness of illusions.

1315
01:19:04,197 --> 01:19:05,813
A man dies.

1316
01:19:08,201 --> 01:19:10,192
Another begins his journey...

1317
01:19:12,038 --> 01:19:14,826
and waits for his story to be told.

1318
01:19:18,545 --> 01:19:23,039
But in the conventional war,
the wheels of combat turn,

1319
01:19:23,175 --> 01:19:25,883
the forces of men and machine swell,

1320
01:19:26,011 --> 01:19:29,220
until suddenly the die is cast.

1321
01:19:30,348 --> 01:19:32,259
There is no turning back.

1322
01:19:32,350 --> 01:19:36,218
US, Canadian and British forces
will strike 26 beaches

1323
01:19:36,354 --> 01:19:39,892
over 100 miles
of Sicily's southern shore.

1324
01:19:40,025 --> 01:19:44,610
We'll be mobilising 100,000 plus men,
3,000 freighters and sweepers

1325
01:19:44,696 --> 01:19:46,858
with 1,800 heavy guns, 4,000 aircraft...

1326
01:19:46,990 --> 01:19:48,355
Commander, if I may.

1327
01:19:48,450 --> 01:19:51,033
Does the build-up continue
despite our intelligence?

1328
01:19:51,161 --> 01:19:54,620
Intelligence that shows the Germans
continue to reinforce Sicily?

1329
01:19:54,748 --> 01:19:56,705
The prime minister still hopes
fo turn the tide

1330
01:19:56,833 --> 01:19:59,495
and convince Germany
that our target is Greece.

1331
01:20:00,462 --> 01:20:03,170
He is now relying almost entirely on us.

1332
01:20:04,007 --> 01:20:05,748
So we have work to do.

1333
01:20:11,431 --> 01:20:13,047
Morning, Charles.
Morning.

1334
01:20:14,351 --> 01:20:17,639
Charles. You don't look
any the worse for wear.

1335
01:20:17,729 --> 01:20:21,017
I should. There's a reason tall men
don't serve on small submarines.

1336
01:20:27,447 --> 01:20:29,108
Hitler's still reinforcing Sicily.

1337
01:20:29,991 --> 01:20:31,152
That can only mean the other pieces

1338
01:20:31,243 --> 01:20:33,530
-of our deception plan...
-Have missed the mark.

1339
01:20:34,663 --> 01:20:36,245
But Major Martin has washed ashore.

1340
01:20:36,331 --> 01:20:38,743
Gomez-Beare has been
called by the Spanish police.

1341
01:20:39,209 --> 01:20:40,495
Our plan proceeds.

1342
01:20:41,503 --> 01:20:44,871
The fate of the free world
dependent on a corpse in a donkey cart.

1343
01:21:35,307 --> 01:21:37,469
The critical task now
is to make the Germans think

1344
01:21:37,559 --> 01:21:38,890
we are frantic to reclaim the papers,

1345
01:21:39,019 --> 01:21:40,976
while guiding the papers
right into their hands.

1346
01:21:48,695 --> 01:21:50,026
Si.

1347
01:21:59,039 --> 01:22:01,121
On the ground,
our assistant naval attaché,

1348
01:22:01,207 --> 01:22:03,665
Don Gomez-Beare, is with the body now
and will make sure the documents

1349
01:22:03,752 --> 01:22:04,833
get to the German police.

1350
01:22:04,961 --> 01:22:06,793
Also known as the Spanish police.

1351
01:23:15,907 --> 01:23:17,397
Once the autopsy is complete...

1352
01:23:17,492 --> 01:23:19,028
-..we will work our end

1353
01:23:19,119 --> 01:23:21,281
through David Ainsworth
at the British embassy in Madrid.

1354
01:23:21,371 --> 01:23:23,658
British Admiralty on the phone, sir.

1355
01:23:23,748 --> 01:23:25,284
The Germans
have bugged the phones there,

1356
01:23:25,417 --> 01:23:26,703
$0 any message we pass to the embassy

1357
01:23:26,793 --> 01:23:28,124
is essentially a message to Berlin.

1358
01:23:28,211 --> 01:23:30,873
Oh, they asked that you use
the unsecured line.

1359
01:23:32,590 --> 01:23:33,580
Ainsworth.

1360
01:23:33,717 --> 01:23:34,957
Captain,
is your line there secure?

1361
01:23:35,051 --> 01:23:36,132
Of course.

1362
01:23:36,219 --> 01:23:38,335
Good, because
we've just received news

1363
01:23:38,430 --> 01:23:40,137
that one of our own
may have washed up in Huelva.

1364
01:23:40,223 --> 01:23:41,884
Carrying top secret documents

1365
01:23:42,017 --> 01:23:44,258
General Nye's camp
is very anxious to recover.

1366
01:23:44,394 --> 01:23:46,226
I'l begin inquiries right away.

1367
01:23:46,312 --> 01:23:47,427
But, of course,

1368
01:23:47,522 --> 01:23:50,890
the fact that we're looking for papers
at all must remain classified.

1369
01:23:50,984 --> 01:23:52,315
Understood.

1370
01:24:13,173 --> 01:24:15,460
Burial is set for 0800 hours tomorrow?

1371
01:24:15,550 --> 01:24:16,631
Only because

1372
01:24:16,718 --> 01:24:18,174
the expert pathologist from Madrid

1373
01:24:18,261 --> 01:24:21,879
nixed the autopsy, thank Christ,
not a moment too soon.

1374
01:24:22,015 --> 01:24:24,507
The bad news is
the Spanish navy in Huelva

1375
01:24:24,642 --> 01:24:26,383
has the case under lock and key.

1376
01:24:26,478 --> 01:24:27,559
Then our only hope

1377
01:24:27,645 --> 01:24:29,477
is helping Adolf Clauss
get his hands on it.

1378
01:24:29,606 --> 01:24:32,769
Before the case makes its way
to Admiral Moreno's office in Madrid.

1379
01:24:32,859 --> 01:24:35,396
The dung beetle
will surface soon enough.

1380
01:24:35,528 --> 01:24:37,064
No,
we need him to surface sooner.

1381
01:24:37,155 --> 01:24:40,739
We'll jolt him with an unencrypted
cable sent to your office tonight.

1382
01:24:40,825 --> 01:24:43,908
"Make casual request to Spanish navy

1383
01:24:44,662 --> 01:24:47,654
"to return case and papers. Stop."

1384
01:24:47,791 --> 01:24:49,782
"Do not alert German interests

1385
01:24:49,918 --> 01:24:54,037
"to the necessity
of securing these documents

1386
01:24:54,172 --> 01:24:56,960
"back into British hands. Stop."

1387
01:24:57,092 --> 01:25:00,335
Unless you expect a thank you
from Herr Clauss,

1388
01:25:00,470 --> 01:25:02,882
I think our work here tonight is done.

1389
01:25:20,532 --> 01:25:23,900
I just saw the name. Montagu.

1390
01:25:24,953 --> 01:25:26,864
Ewen's wife, Iris.

1391
01:25:27,622 --> 01:25:29,283
She and I correspond.

1392
01:25:30,041 --> 01:25:31,907
We've known each other
for years, of course.

1393
01:25:49,435 --> 01:25:50,425
Jean.

1394
01:25:52,063 --> 01:25:53,349
Jean.

1395
01:25:55,525 --> 01:25:57,436
Goodness. Roger.

1396
01:25:57,569 --> 01:25:59,355
I'am so sorry. 've been meaning to...

1397
01:25:59,487 --> 01:26:00,727
No, no, it's okay.

1398
01:26:00,864 --> 01:26:02,354
I'm just disappointed,

1399
01:26:02,448 --> 01:26:05,691
since it feels like I barely
got to say hello to you

1400
01:26:05,827 --> 01:26:08,114
and now I have to say goodbye.

1401
01:26:09,205 --> 01:26:12,288
The boys and I
are shipping out in the morning.

1402
01:26:12,417 --> 01:26:14,784
In the morning? Where?

1403
01:26:14,919 --> 01:26:17,877
I'm not at liberty to say,
but, er, well,

1404
01:26:18,006 --> 01:26:20,418
I don't know when we'll
see each other again, so...

1405
01:26:22,802 --> 01:26:25,635
Wherever it is, Roger,
I do hope you'll be safe.

1406
01:26:26,222 --> 01:26:29,214
-May I write to you?
-Of course.

1407
01:26:29,851 --> 01:26:31,683
Please, write.

1408
01:26:40,570 --> 01:26:41,981
Goodbye.

1409
01:27:29,577 --> 01:27:30,817
Adolf.

1410
01:27:30,912 --> 01:27:32,573
What a pleasant surprise.

1411
01:27:34,916 --> 01:27:36,498
Quite the turnout for our man.

1412
01:27:40,129 --> 01:27:43,463
So Adolf Clauss
turned out to be two steps behind.

1413
01:27:46,052 --> 01:27:48,214
Because the briefcase
has landed in Madrid.

1414
01:27:48,304 --> 01:27:49,419
Dear God.

1415
01:27:49,514 --> 01:27:52,677
Which means if will be
in Admiral Moreno's office shortly.

1416
01:27:52,767 --> 01:27:54,883
Then let's hope that Kuhlenthal
can't be far behind.

1417
01:27:56,521 --> 01:27:58,933
And since we've bugged every office
in naval headquarters...

1418
01:27:59,023 --> 01:28:00,309
Not every office. Not Moreno's.

1419
01:28:03,987 --> 01:28:05,603
We need to know
what Moreno's up fo,

1420
01:28:05,697 --> 01:28:07,984
David, so you'll have to improvise.

1421
01:28:08,741 --> 01:28:09,947
Time to look up old friends?

1422
01:28:39,314 --> 01:28:41,476
I heard the whole conversation.

1423
01:28:41,566 --> 01:28:43,603
Moreno denied having the papers

1424
01:28:43,693 --> 01:28:46,310
while Kuhlenthal insisted
he did have the papers.

1425
01:28:47,947 --> 01:28:49,779
Did Kuhlenthal get hold of the case?

1426
01:28:49,866 --> 01:28:51,072
Unfortunately not.

1427
01:28:51,159 --> 01:28:53,025
Moreno
wasn't open for business.

1428
01:28:53,161 --> 01:28:54,151
Dear God.

1429
01:28:54,287 --> 01:28:56,949
It's hard to see who's more up a free
with this, us or the Germans.

1430
01:28:57,040 --> 01:28:59,407
I would say Kuhlenthal is
desperate enough for us all.

1431
01:29:01,794 --> 01:29:04,377
The bug in his office caught him
eviscerating Clauss

1432
01:29:04,464 --> 01:29:06,421
for not snatching the papers in Huelva.

1433
01:29:07,383 --> 01:29:09,545
So he should.

1434
01:29:09,635 --> 01:29:11,467
And the Spanish navy can't
seem to stop reminding us

1435
01:29:11,554 --> 01:29:12,635
how neutral they are.

1436
01:29:12,722 --> 01:29:14,588
They won't let the Germans
anywhere near our briefcase.

1437
01:29:14,682 --> 01:29:16,969
Colonel Cerruti
could get hold of the papers.

1438
01:29:17,060 --> 01:29:20,394
Cerruti? Spain's secret police
are beyond treacherous.

1439
01:29:20,521 --> 01:29:22,057
They are, but he's a keen fascist.

1440
01:29:22,148 --> 01:29:24,606
He's devoted to Hitler.
And we have no other choice.

1441
01:29:24,734 --> 01:29:26,941
We have to get the papers to Kuhlenthal.

1442
01:29:27,070 --> 01:29:30,153
Colonel Cerruti ran me
as a double agent years ago,

1443
01:29:30,281 --> 01:29:33,114
without ever realising I was
a triple agent for our side,

1444
01:29:33,201 --> 01:29:36,034
but I've steered clear of the colonel
for some time now.

1445
01:29:36,120 --> 01:29:37,201
He's gone dry?

1446
01:29:37,330 --> 01:29:38,866
He requires...

1447
01:29:38,956 --> 01:29:40,697
careful handling.

1448
01:29:43,753 --> 01:29:46,836
We sympathise, David,
but Churchill has put his money on us.

1449
01:29:46,923 --> 01:29:50,291
We cannot tell the prime minister
that we've hit a dead end now.

1450
01:32:09,440 --> 01:32:10,896
I need some air.

1451
01:32:14,862 --> 01:32:16,853
There's no mention
of Cerruti or Kuhlenthal

1452
01:32:16,989 --> 01:32:18,605
in any of these transcripts.

1453
01:32:18,741 --> 01:32:20,948
We don't know if Cerruti met with Moreno

1454
01:32:21,035 --> 01:32:23,493
orif he even took the case
or if he read the letter.

1455
01:32:23,621 --> 01:32:25,407
We are utterly in the dark.

1456
01:32:25,831 --> 01:32:27,617
Is that what Charles
and M were discussing?

1457
01:32:29,043 --> 01:32:31,660
Charles and Godfrey? When?

1458
01:32:31,796 --> 01:32:34,754
Yesterday. I saw them
outside talking alone.

1459
01:32:34,840 --> 01:32:36,296
And you're telling me this now?

1460
01:32:36,384 --> 01:32:39,922
I wasn't aware I was supposed
to tell you, or anyone.

1461
01:32:43,849 --> 01:32:46,181
He can be like this
when he's under pressure.

1462
01:32:46,352 --> 01:32:48,059
You mustn't take it personally.

1463
01:32:48,854 --> 01:32:50,970
The waiting's driving us all mad.

1464
01:32:53,943 --> 01:32:56,856
Why does Ewen's wife write to you

1465
01:32:57,655 --> 01:32:59,646
and not to him?

1466
01:33:04,870 --> 01:33:08,909
Every marriage has its difficulties
and disappointments.

1467
01:33:10,001 --> 01:33:12,584
Haven't we all had our hearts
broken over the years?

1468
01:33:14,046 --> 01:33:16,037
What's hard to understand about Ewen,

1469
01:33:17,300 --> 01:33:18,961
hidden beneath all the bluster

1470
01:33:19,719 --> 01:33:22,211
is his very deep sense of duty.

1471
01:33:24,181 --> 01:33:28,220
I only say this
because I'm so very fond of you.

1472
01:33:28,936 --> 01:33:30,051
And him.

1473
01:33:31,772 --> 01:33:33,137
And her,

1474
01:33:41,616 --> 01:33:43,698
Moreno's on his way
fo the embassy.

1475
01:33:44,452 --> 01:33:46,693
And Kuhlenthal has just left for Berlin.

1476
01:34:11,312 --> 01:34:14,304
So, the moment of truth.

1477
01:34:24,533 --> 01:34:26,695
The seal hasn't been touched.

1478
01:34:26,827 --> 01:34:28,534
Meaning the letter hasn't been read.

1479
01:34:28,621 --> 01:34:30,862
Let's not hang ourselves just yet.

1480
01:34:30,998 --> 01:34:33,615
One can, with great delicacy,

1481
01:34:33,751 --> 01:34:36,334
remove a letter without
fully opening the envelope.

1482
01:34:36,462 --> 01:34:38,669
If the gum has been dissolved
in solvent.

1483
01:34:38,798 --> 01:34:41,290
-Or seawater.
-Yes, yes, seawater.

1484
01:34:49,100 --> 01:34:50,511
Itis possible

1485
01:34:50,601 --> 01:34:53,434
to insert here,
grab the edge of the letter

1486
01:34:53,562 --> 01:34:55,724
and then ever so gently twist.

1487
01:34:55,856 --> 01:34:58,063
So itis possible
they removed the letter?

1488
01:34:58,150 --> 01:35:02,018
Twisting like this
causes the pages to curl,

1489
01:35:02,154 --> 01:35:05,567
but once back in the envelope,
of course, the letter will lie flat.

1490
01:35:05,658 --> 01:35:08,275
So how is a curl we cannot see helpful?

1491
01:35:09,787 --> 01:35:12,745
Erm... Itisn't. It isn't.

1492
01:35:13,499 --> 01:35:16,992
Unless we wet the paper again,
dry it and see what happens.

1493
01:35:17,086 --> 01:35:19,703
It looks as if the eyelash has gone.

1494
01:35:19,797 --> 01:35:24,758
We are not sending 100,000 men
into battle on a missing eyelash.

1495
01:35:30,141 --> 01:35:32,223
So it has been opened.

1496
01:35:32,810 --> 01:35:35,973
This letter has been removed
from the envelope

1497
01:35:36,063 --> 01:35:37,269
and it has been opened.

1498
01:35:37,398 --> 01:35:38,854
Which means it's been read.

1499
01:36:07,136 --> 01:36:08,171
Teddy.

1500
01:36:09,180 --> 01:36:10,716
What on Earth... Why...

1501
01:36:10,806 --> 01:36:12,968
Why am I not at the club?
I don't work there any more.

1502
01:36:15,519 --> 01:36:16,930
Strange, isn't it,

1503
01:36:17,897 --> 01:36:22,312
to find an old photograph of you
amongst Major Martin's papers?

1504
01:36:23,819 --> 01:36:26,106
I don't recall seeing him
at the Gargoyle, Jean.

1505
01:36:27,406 --> 01:36:29,647
Ordo I call you Pam?

1506
01:36:39,543 --> 01:36:40,829
"Dearest Bill.

1507
01:36:40,920 --> 01:36:43,912
"Why did we have to meet
in the middle of a war?

1508
01:36:44,799 --> 01:36:48,713
"Or if it weren't for this madness,
we might have been married by now."

1509
01:36:49,678 --> 01:36:51,840
I don't understand what you're doing.

1510
01:36:51,972 --> 01:36:55,135
There are Germans, good Germans,

1511
01:36:56,101 --> 01:36:57,637
in positions of great influence,

1512
01:36:57,770 --> 01:37:01,104
that are allied in their desire
to see the Fihrer fall.

1513
01:37:02,441 --> 01:37:07,186
But these men have been
rebuffed by your superiors,

1514
01:37:07,279 --> 01:37:10,772
labelled the anti-Hitler hoax,
which is a shame,

1515
01:37:10,866 --> 01:37:12,732
since we both are on the same side.

1516
01:37:18,207 --> 01:37:21,165
My German friends need to understand
what's happened here.

1517
01:37:21,961 --> 01:37:26,250
So you will tell me about Major Martin
and the letters in his case

1518
01:37:26,340 --> 01:37:29,253
or I will pull out my gun
and put a bullet in your head.

1519
01:37:47,695 --> 01:37:49,902
We've just got this,
the latest intercept,

1520
01:37:50,030 --> 01:37:53,022
sent by General JodI,
Nazi Chief of Operations.

1521
01:37:53,158 --> 01:37:54,740
It says, and I quote,

1522
01:37:54,869 --> 01:37:57,236
"Enemy landings on a large scale

1523
01:37:57,371 --> 01:38:00,739
"are expected in Greece
in the very near future."

1524
01:38:00,875 --> 01:38:04,459
"In Greece". It came through
at the highest level of encryption.

1525
01:38:04,587 --> 01:38:05,702
Do we believe this?

1526
01:38:07,715 --> 01:38:11,128
General Jodl. We couldn't ask
for a more credible source.

1527
01:38:11,260 --> 01:38:13,877
And if the Nazis were
moving troops from Sicily to Greece,

1528
01:38:13,971 --> 01:38:15,962
it would be Jodl that's moving them.

1529
01:38:23,689 --> 01:38:24,895
FRASER-SMITH; Q-Branch.

1530
01:38:26,025 --> 01:38:28,016
Yes, yes, he is.

1531
01:38:29,445 --> 01:38:31,277
Yes, I'l tell him right away.

1532
01:38:32,114 --> 01:38:34,526
The man
served us drinks every night,

1533
01:38:34,617 --> 01:38:35,948
Ewen, it was your club.

1534
01:38:36,076 --> 01:38:37,316
You don't think I vetted

1535
01:38:37,411 --> 01:38:39,322
every single employee
in and out of the Gargoyle?

1536
01:38:39,455 --> 01:38:41,366
You don't think I'm aware
always of everyone around me

1537
01:38:41,457 --> 01:38:42,663
who might be listening?

1538
01:38:42,750 --> 01:38:44,206
Well, you know, we can't ask
Teddy what happened

1539
01:38:44,335 --> 01:38:46,451
because his flat's been searched
and he's vanished.

1540
01:38:46,587 --> 01:38:48,077
Every Nazi operative
within our borders

1541
01:38:48,213 --> 01:38:50,295
has either been turned
or eliminated long ago.

1542
01:38:50,382 --> 01:38:53,295
We monitor everyone who might
remotely constitute a fifth column.

1543
01:38:53,427 --> 01:38:54,883
We have eyes on every blackshirt...

1544
01:38:54,970 --> 01:38:57,086
Well, then,
who is this man? Who is he?

1545
01:39:01,727 --> 01:39:04,139
Jean, are you sure that
he didn't give you a name?

1546
01:39:04,271 --> 01:39:06,433
He didn't indicate
who might have sent him?

1547
01:39:06,565 --> 01:39:10,058
Just... Just the Germans
fighting against Hitler.

1548
01:39:10,986 --> 01:39:13,227
-I assumed it was a lie.
-It most likely was a lie.

1549
01:39:13,322 --> 01:39:15,654
Well, he was trying to get you to talk.
He would have said anything.

1550
01:39:15,741 --> 01:39:16,776
But I did talk.

1551
01:39:17,868 --> 01:39:20,360
I said, "Yes,
I worked at the Admiralty."

1552
01:39:21,288 --> 01:39:23,529
And the officer that died,
he was using an alias,

1553
01:39:23,624 --> 01:39:26,742
travelling with a fake dossier,
he was a spy,

1554
01:39:26,835 --> 01:39:31,250
but that he was also transporting
real classified material,

1555
01:39:31,382 --> 01:39:32,918
real letters.

1556
01:39:33,050 --> 01:39:37,089
It was ridiculous, but what could I say?
He had the photograph.

1557
01:39:37,972 --> 01:39:41,306
-I gave you that photograph.
-Jean, this is not your fault.

1558
01:39:41,433 --> 01:39:43,390
They know the photograph
isn't real.

1559
01:39:43,519 --> 01:39:45,135
They'll suspect everything now.

1560
01:39:45,270 --> 01:39:47,261
We don't even know who "they" are.

1561
01:39:48,440 --> 01:39:49,896
You're not safe here.

1562
01:39:50,985 --> 01:39:52,191
I have a guest room.

1563
01:39:52,277 --> 01:39:54,518
You can stay there
until we all sort this out.

1564
01:40:03,080 --> 01:40:05,117
You would bring her to your own house?

1565
01:40:05,207 --> 01:40:06,538
Have you no shame?

1566
01:40:06,625 --> 01:40:07,990
After you've jeopardised
this entire operation?

1567
01:40:08,127 --> 01:40:09,333
You're the one who approached Jean.

1568
01:40:09,420 --> 01:40:11,286
You're the one who insisted
on using her photograph.

1569
01:40:11,422 --> 01:40:12,958
You were so busy seducing her

1570
01:40:13,090 --> 01:40:14,501
that you took your
eye off your own brother.

1571
01:40:14,591 --> 01:40:16,081
You think I told Ivor about Mincemeat?

1572
01:40:16,176 --> 01:40:17,382
How do we know he's not behind all this?

1573
01:40:17,469 --> 01:40:18,584
I tell my brother nothing.
I show him nothing!

1574
01:40:18,679 --> 01:40:21,171
Because you know he's a spy,
in bed with the Russians.

1575
01:40:21,265 --> 01:40:23,757
Don't you tell me what I know
and don't know.

1576
01:40:23,892 --> 01:40:26,634
You don't think I imagine myself
at his funeral every day,

1577
01:40:26,770 --> 01:40:29,102
my own brother,
tried and hanged for reason?

1578
01:40:29,231 --> 01:40:30,437
How fucking dare you!

1579
01:40:30,566 --> 01:40:32,648
I'am not the one who is
running a covert operation

1580
01:40:32,776 --> 01:40:35,234
with a spy under my roof,

1581
01:40:41,035 --> 01:40:42,070
No.

1582
01:40:43,746 --> 01:40:45,908
No, your brother's a war hero.

1583
01:40:46,874 --> 01:40:48,205
And I envy you that.

1584
01:40:51,170 --> 01:40:52,626
Whatever went wrong, it wasn't Ivor.

1585
01:40:52,755 --> 01:40:55,338
You are a careless bastard, Montagu.

1586
01:40:57,718 --> 01:40:59,049
You're careless with Jean,

1587
01:40:59,928 --> 01:41:03,171
you're careless with your brother,
and you're careless with your own wife.

1588
01:41:08,395 --> 01:41:10,807
I don't need you
to remind me of my sins.

1589
01:41:13,358 --> 01:41:16,191
I only wonder how you reconcile yourself
with yours.

1590
01:41:18,405 --> 01:41:20,396
Did you strike some sort of deal?

1591
01:41:21,533 --> 01:41:22,944
Spying on me?

1592
01:41:24,203 --> 01:41:26,319
My hide in exchange for...

1593
01:41:28,082 --> 01:41:29,288
What?

1594
01:41:38,217 --> 01:41:40,208
I need to look after Jean.

1595
01:41:43,764 --> 01:41:47,223
Everything depends on finding out
who sent that man and why.

1596
01:41:48,477 --> 01:41:50,639
What if it was von Roenne?

1597
01:41:54,942 --> 01:41:57,309
More than anyone else
in German intelligence,

1598
01:41:58,570 --> 01:42:01,312
von Roenne would need to know
if Mincemeat is true.

1599
01:42:04,076 --> 01:42:05,237
So he could decide

1600
01:42:05,327 --> 01:42:08,740
if what he's whispering in Hitler's ear
is fact or fiction.

1601
01:42:11,125 --> 01:42:15,164
Because von Roenne may be the one
who is fighting the other war.

1602
01:42:16,713 --> 01:42:18,124
The secret war,

1603
01:42:18,841 --> 01:42:22,880
The war dedicated
to seeing Hitler destroyed.

1604
01:42:26,765 --> 01:42:31,259
Either that's true or it's a fiction
that we want to be true.

1605
01:42:33,772 --> 01:42:37,436
What's fact is that you know
I suspected my brother of spying

1606
01:42:37,526 --> 01:42:38,732
and refused to turn him in.

1607
01:42:41,780 --> 01:42:44,898
So you know enough to see me ruined
and my brother hanged.

1608
01:42:48,328 --> 01:42:50,319
So the next move is yours, Charles.

1609
01:42:52,332 --> 01:42:53,743
What's it to be?

1610
01:43:17,399 --> 01:43:19,140
What we know for certain...

1611
01:43:22,863 --> 01:43:27,027
is that within our borders
our eyes and ears miss nothing.

1612
01:43:28,160 --> 01:43:29,901
German spies, Nazi sympathisers,

1613
01:43:30,037 --> 01:43:32,404
we know where they are,
we know who they are.

1614
01:43:33,498 --> 01:43:35,330
Which means that whoever this man is,

1615
01:43:36,919 --> 01:43:39,331
it's not something
we've encountered before.

1616
01:43:41,423 --> 01:43:42,959
That's your excuse

1617
01:43:43,091 --> 01:43:44,957
for using a photograph
of one of our own operatives?

1618
01:43:45,052 --> 01:43:46,759
The photograph was my error, sir.

1619
01:43:46,887 --> 01:43:49,424
I was the one who insisted
on choosing someone within our ranks.

1620
01:43:49,556 --> 01:43:51,388
The woman's beside the point.

1621
01:43:53,060 --> 01:43:55,392
I wish I could find
even a sliver of satisfaction

1622
01:43:55,479 --> 01:43:58,517
in having predicted this
fucking disaster months ago.

1623
01:44:01,318 --> 01:44:02,854
We're still receiving intelligence

1624
01:44:02,945 --> 01:44:05,653
the Germans are preparing
for our invasion of Greece.

1625
01:44:05,781 --> 01:44:07,237
Intelligence that could be a ruse.

1626
01:44:07,324 --> 01:44:09,611
It's obviously a ruse,
given the operation's been revealed.

1627
01:44:09,701 --> 01:44:11,692
Although, not necessarily, sir.

1628
01:44:13,664 --> 01:44:15,701
Montagu and I
have been racking our brains,

1629
01:44:16,333 --> 01:44:20,793
trying to decode the message
behind this contact with us.

1630
01:44:21,588 --> 01:44:23,044
Why did this man reveal himself?

1631
01:44:23,131 --> 01:44:25,042
If he's an agent for the Abwer,

1632
01:44:25,133 --> 01:44:27,716
why would he deliberately signal
that he'd discovered our deception?

1633
01:44:27,844 --> 01:44:28,925
It doesn't add up,

1634
01:44:29,513 --> 01:44:32,050
which is why the troop movements
to Greece may not be a ruse after all.

1635
01:44:32,140 --> 01:44:35,303
Why would the Nazis continue to act
on information they know to be false?

1636
01:44:35,394 --> 01:44:37,726
Because von Roenne
is telling them to act on it.

1637
01:44:37,813 --> 01:44:40,430
There's not a shred of proof
of this so-called anti-Hitler plot.

1638
01:44:40,524 --> 01:44:43,312
We don't know that it isn't true either.

1639
01:44:43,443 --> 01:44:44,433
Christ.

1640
01:44:44,569 --> 01:44:46,606
Admiral, this man came out of nowhere.

1641
01:44:46,738 --> 01:44:49,321
Perhaps he's the proof
of the anti-Hitler plot.

1642
01:44:49,449 --> 01:44:52,066
And he contacted us
so that we would know the plot is real,

1643
01:44:52,202 --> 01:44:54,364
and as German troops
continue to move towards Greece,

1644
01:44:54,454 --> 01:44:56,070
we would continue to plan for Sicily.

1645
01:44:56,248 --> 01:44:59,616
So that von Roenne can reinforce
that misinformation with Hitler,

1646
01:44:59,710 --> 01:45:00,871
leaving Sicily undefended.

1647
01:45:01,378 --> 01:45:02,994
That is our instinct.

1648
01:45:04,214 --> 01:45:05,625
That is your instinct?

1649
01:45:07,634 --> 01:45:09,875
The fate of the world at stake,

1650
01:45:10,012 --> 01:45:12,925
the Nazi killing machine
waiting for us on Sicily's shores,

1651
01:45:13,056 --> 01:45:16,674
and...
you two with your instinct.

1652
01:45:19,396 --> 01:45:20,852
Ifit were up to me,

1653
01:45:21,440 --> 01:45:24,808
Iwould postpone Sicily
and have you drawn and quartered.

1654
01:45:28,280 --> 01:45:30,692
No doubt the prime minister
has been informed?

1655
01:45:32,576 --> 01:45:34,237
What does he want to do?

1656
01:45:34,369 --> 01:45:35,734
The prime minister...

1657
01:45:37,414 --> 01:45:40,327
does not want to postpone Sicily.

1658
01:45:43,045 --> 01:45:45,412
I pray we can all live
with the consequences.

1659
01:45:52,012 --> 01:45:53,093
Jean?

1660
01:46:01,188 --> 01:46:02,474
Jean?

1661
01:46:13,575 --> 01:46:15,111
He's coming home.

1662
01:46:16,703 --> 01:46:18,364
Robbie's coming home.

1663
01:46:26,797 --> 01:46:28,208
Thank you, my son.

1664
01:46:36,640 --> 01:46:38,722
And this is a posting, where?

1665
01:46:40,352 --> 01:46:42,184
-They haven't told me yet.
They?

1666
01:46:42,479 --> 01:46:45,517
Special Operations.
I was accepted today.

1667
01:46:46,650 --> 01:46:49,859
I suspect because Masterman
put itin a good word for me.

1668
01:46:50,153 --> 01:46:55,614
Hopefully, I'l find my way overseas
as a courier or a radio operator.

1669
01:46:55,742 --> 01:46:56,903
I see.

1670
01:46:59,287 --> 01:47:02,996
I can never forgive myself
for placing our operation in peril.

1671
01:47:03,083 --> 01:47:05,040
I won't hear it.
What happened is not your fault.

1672
01:47:05,127 --> 01:47:08,961
Regardless, itll take the grace of God
and nerves of steel

1673
01:47:09,047 --> 01:47:10,754
to land Mincemeat safely now.

1674
01:47:10,841 --> 01:47:13,879
The kind of fortitude
you have demonstrated every single day.

1675
01:47:13,969 --> 01:47:17,052
I've played my part
in the Bill and Pam story, Ewen.

1676
01:47:17,597 --> 01:47:19,588
It's time for me to go where I'm needed.

1677
01:47:19,724 --> 01:47:20,930
You're needed here.

1678
01:47:22,602 --> 01:47:24,934
With us.
-I have to go.

1679
01:47:38,785 --> 01:47:40,401
You will have your own story, then.

1680
01:47:41,997 --> 01:47:43,487
You will fight your own war.

1681
01:47:45,500 --> 01:47:46,786
You will serve bravely.

1682
01:47:49,379 --> 01:47:50,915
Our country will be lucky to have you.

1683
01:47:54,092 --> 01:47:55,127
And...

1684
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:59,298
You'll be reunited
with your wife and children.

1685
01:48:02,642 --> 01:48:03,677
A better man.

1686
01:48:08,273 --> 01:48:10,230
A man you brought back to life.

1687
01:48:14,029 --> 01:48:17,397
I will miss you so terribly.

1688
01:48:33,256 --> 01:48:35,588
The invasion fleet
is now assembled.

1689
01:48:37,260 --> 01:48:38,967
The Seraph will be the lead vessel

1690
01:48:39,095 --> 01:48:42,178
in the first wave
of the US assault on Licata beach.

1691
01:48:43,225 --> 01:48:45,512
Our job will be to set
the sonar homing buoy,

1692
01:48:46,228 --> 01:48:47,810
to guide the others to shore.

1693
01:48:48,230 --> 01:48:51,063
A great many others,
we hear, on many beaches.

1694
01:48:51,608 --> 01:48:53,849
The largest amphibious assault
the war has seen.

1695
01:48:56,780 --> 01:48:58,612
Do you believe we have Fritz
where we need him?

1696
01:49:00,116 --> 01:49:03,575
It seems the enemy has fallen
for the deception.

1697
01:49:04,079 --> 01:49:06,195
We expect
resistance to be limited

1698
01:49:06,289 --> 01:49:08,326
to Italian coastal divisions.

1699
01:49:10,043 --> 01:49:12,034
Then our fighting men thank you.

1700
01:49:20,345 --> 01:49:21,756
I will see you on the other side.

1701
01:49:35,277 --> 01:49:36,483
I may vomit.

1702
01:49:37,445 --> 01:49:38,901
I may vomit with you.

1703
01:49:42,117 --> 01:49:44,700
Every, er, piece of intelligence says

1704
01:49:44,828 --> 01:49:47,286
that the Nazis
are waiting for us in Greece.

1705
01:49:49,207 --> 01:49:51,699
And every piece of intelligence
may be the greatest deception

1706
01:49:51,835 --> 01:49:53,792
the Nazis have ever played against us.

1707
01:49:59,718 --> 01:50:03,461
Why do you think Churchill
still believes this can work?

1708
01:50:05,807 --> 01:50:07,013
Because he has to.

1709
01:50:12,981 --> 01:50:14,267
Jean has gone.

1710
01:50:16,568 --> 01:50:18,559
Yes, I heard.

1711
01:50:29,956 --> 01:50:31,822
You've had another letter from Iris.

1712
01:50:33,668 --> 01:50:35,284
This one's for you.

1713
01:51:17,420 --> 01:51:20,128
tis only fitting
that the two wars

1714
01:51:20,215 --> 01:51:22,673
finally converge in darkness.

1715
01:51:29,683 --> 01:51:31,720
The target is no longer hidden.

1716
01:51:33,645 --> 01:51:35,352
The points are set.

1717
01:51:37,399 --> 01:51:38,981
And the forces gather.

1718
01:51:47,200 --> 01:51:52,115
Brave men, their lives
hanging in the balance,

1719
01:51:53,206 --> 01:51:55,493
their fate unknowable,

1720
01:51:57,043 --> 01:51:59,205
their part in history unwritten.

1721
01:51:59,295 --> 01:52:00,751
-(ALARM BLARING}
-Action stations!

1722
01:52:00,839 --> 01:52:02,329
Action stations!

1723
01:52:02,424 --> 01:52:04,961
Move yourselves! Move, move, move!

1724
01:52:07,971 --> 01:52:12,386
But who in these last hours
will bear witness to the hidden war?

1725
01:52:15,103 --> 01:52:17,265
Unseen by history.

1726
01:52:18,690 --> 01:52:21,022
Locked away in a buried file.

1727
01:52:22,068 --> 01:52:25,527
Its tragedies and triumphs unspoken.

1728
01:52:26,531 --> 01:52:28,647
Its heroes unsung.

1729
01:52:29,451 --> 01:52:31,943
In God's name, Fleming,
what are you writing?

1730
01:52:32,746 --> 01:52:34,111
Spy story.

1731
01:52:39,919 --> 01:52:41,501
it is in this moment,

1732
01:52:43,506 --> 01:52:46,248
this suspended moment,

1733
01:52:49,804 --> 01:52:52,967
that my story waits for an ending.

1734
01:52:58,772 --> 01:53:00,809
As if fate herself...

1735
01:53:02,859 --> 01:53:04,441
were a blank page.

1736
01:53:42,690 --> 01:53:43,851
Medic!

1737
01:54:05,171 --> 01:54:07,663
An ending
redeemed in righteousness?

1738
01:54:15,223 --> 01:54:18,341
An ending graced with mercy?

1739
01:54:52,719 --> 01:54:56,212
"Allied forces have landed."

1740
01:54:59,601 --> 01:55:01,387
"Limited casualties."

1741
01:55:02,145 --> 01:55:03,431
"Enemy retreating."

1742
01:55:06,274 --> 01:55:08,231
"Troops met with minimal resistance."

1743
01:55:21,581 --> 01:55:22,992
"Beaches held."

1744
01:55:57,784 --> 01:56:00,025
There's another one,
from Churchill,

1745
01:56:05,458 --> 01:56:07,449
"Mincemeat swallowed...

1746
01:56:09,087 --> 01:56:10,919
"rod, line and sinker."

1747
01:56:37,490 --> 01:56:38,605
An ending...

1748
01:56:40,493 --> 01:56:42,029
filled with light.

1749
01:56:59,762 --> 01:57:01,127
We saved some lives today.

1750
01:57:04,600 --> 01:57:06,591
Some lives, not all.

1751
01:57:07,562 --> 01:57:08,643
It can never be all.

1752
01:57:13,401 --> 01:57:15,608
We don't seem to have saved ourselves.

1753
01:57:18,322 --> 01:57:19,608
And those that did make it...

1754
01:57:19,741 --> 01:57:21,903
-Glory will be theirs.
-As it should be.

1755
01:57:27,123 --> 01:57:30,707
We fooled the Fiihrer, murderous bastard.
There's some glory in that.

1756
01:57:33,921 --> 01:57:35,286
My brother has come home.

1757
01:57:37,341 --> 01:57:38,672
We'll bury him tomorrow.

1758
01:57:42,055 --> 01:57:44,342
It was the deal
I'd struck with Godfrey...

1759
01:57:45,600 --> 01:57:47,591
in exchange for spying on you.

1760
01:57:52,065 --> 01:57:53,521
Then I'd like to be there.

1761
01:58:02,784 --> 01:58:05,276
I need to go home
and finish a letter to my wife.

1762
01:58:12,001 --> 01:58:13,537
But first I need a drink.

1763
01:58:15,338 --> 01:58:17,079
Let me buy you a drink.

1764
01:58:19,050 --> 01:58:20,632
Eight in the morning.

1765
01:58:21,260 --> 01:58:23,251
Surely someone will take us in.
