Anna is fine. I'll take care of her.

Have you lost your mind? Get below deck, now!

You're done, Tennstedt!

Your captain is a real pussy, right?

He shot him right in the face.

- Hoffmann? - Who else?

That's all?

Yes, Criminal Inspector.

The explosion caused too much damage. That's the problem.

Only these pieces got stuck inside the fender.

But we can't figure out their origins.

Have it all brought to my office.

Miss Strasser, this is a statement for the press. About this woman.

She approached Forster two days ago.

He's sure that she is responsible for the bombing. Please translate this.

Thanks.

Give him Prontosil.

What?

The cough... suggests pneumonia.

- How do you know? - My father is a doctor.

Are you sure?

Is it true that you went to Mürwick?

The Navy is my life.

Cook.

How is he?

Not well. He's still burning up.

What's your name, First Watch Officer?

Tennstedt, Captain.

What are you doing here, Tennstedt?

Why are you not at your post?

I've been...

dismissed by Captain Hoffmann.

And now you let the Chief take you all home.

While your comrades sacrifice their lives for Germany?

U-612 is a disgrace for the German Navy.

No.

The crew show determined courage and do good work.

The Captain is a disgrace.

You'll return as a war hero.

I'll be court-martialed in Lorient.

But the Captain should have to justify himself.

I hereby reinstate you,

First Watch Officer.

Ah, Miss Simone.

I have to ask for your help again.

More information about this Monroe, from the Spanish Civil War.

A bomb in a church.

I wish I could spare you the details but I need to know if they say something

about the mechanism used at that time.

And one more thing.

I would like to post one of my men in front of your apartment. Day and night.

He would always accompany you.

For your safety.

You don't want me to work for you. You just want to keep an eye on me.

She saw you in my company.

I would never forgive myself if anything would happen to you.

I think Miss Monroe has bigger fish to fry than taking care of a simple translator.

I only want what's best for you.

I will be vigilant. I promise.

And thanks for worrying about me.

Please call me as soon as you have found something.

Hoffmann is not allowed to leave his bunk.

Aye.

Tennstedt, you were ordered to stay away from the control room!

Engineer Lieutenant Ehrenberg,

as the highest ranking officer I took over command of U-612

as per my authority conferred by the High Command of the German Navy.

Excuse me?

Captain Hoffmann is obviously unable to command the ship.

Any insubordination concerning my decision will be prosecuted as an act of mutiny.

You can't do that.

Captain Wrangel, it's an honor to serve under your command.

I am looking forward to our close cooperation, Chief.

What's going on, Second Watch Officer?

We will finally fire our eels into the fucking Yank ships.

We're not going home.

What? You can't do that.

We've got strict orders from Lorient! You have to follow them!

Any resisting elements are to be detained.

Aye. Let's go.

You can't be serious.

The keys to the arms locker, Petty Officer. That's an order.

What order? You're not our First Watch Officer anymore.

I'm your superior and therefore you have to obey my orders! Nothing else!

Detain that man.

Are you deaf?

Take him to the torpedo room and guard him until further orders.

Understood?

Come with me.

This is a new boat? Do the propellers sing?

A bit.

I need a report about how long the fuel will last if we go full speed ahead.

Captain Wrangel is determined to whip this boat into shape.

Can he count on the engine room?

- What about Hoffmann? - None of your concern.

It doesn't matter to me who's wearing the white hat when we arrive home.

Just for the record.

But I don't want to be shot by a firing squad.

The officers bear the responsibility.

I've seen a lot. But a mutiny, that's something new.

What are we going to do now?

What we always do. We follow orders.

What's going on?

What the hell is going on?

Captain Wrangel has taken over your command.

What?

Second Watch Officer Schiller,

place First Watch Officer Tennstedt and Captain Wrangel under arrest

on charge of mutiny.

That's an order.

With all due respect, Mr. Hoffmann,

you're not the captain of this U-boat anymore.

Chief.

Robert.

Have you all lost your minds?

Do you all want to be court-martialed?

I know your father, Hoffmann.

Great man.

An example to us all.

Unfortunately you're not like him.

You had the chance to sink an American ship.

- But you preferred to disappear. - One of my men was on board.

- He was injured. - And you handed him over to the Yanks.

Voluntarily.

What's wrong with you, man?

- Are you fraternizing with the enemy? - I follow orders.

Are you aware of the fact that we are at war?

A war in which you've been a prisoner, Wrangel!

And nothing else.

And now I am the Captain of U-612.

Schiller,

take him back to his bunk.

Mister Hoffmann.

Don't you touch me.

Klaus, please.

Go to your bunk.

Get better.

Hopefully you're very well aware of the fact

that you'll have to justify yourself in front of a court-martial.

- Chief Helmsman. - Aye.

New calculation.

Take us to the convoy route. We will attack them when it's dark.

The Yanks are going to go down before they even realize what hit them.

Aye, Captain.

Didn't see you as the type to go against the tide.

The cook told me about Hinz.

I can't believe I defended the faggot.

I'm sorry, comrade.

I would have loved to go home.

Ugh.

That's my bad side.

You're exposed?

Who will they send?

And what about you?

Let's go.

Captain?

What do you think? What are our chances?

At court martial?

You're thinking about this now?

Jail, First Watch Officer... best case.

What?

There won't be a court martial.

A Captain who is the only survivor of his crew,

and a First Watch Officer who got dismissed because of insubordination.

That will have to be straightened out. Right?

There is nothing worse than indetermination.

But to act determined when it's the only way out,

that requires courage. Tennstedt.

Are you courageous, First Watch Officer?

Yes, Captain.

Good.

We're going to throw Hoffmann overboard.

They are all simple sailors.

They will do what I want them to do.

Hunting dogs need a firm hand.

Only then they are devoted.

To the death.

Sir?

I have to ask you to follow me.

Act with honor, Schiller.

Like you did when you shot the poor bastard in the face?

Or when you were drinking beer with that stinking Jew?

Shut up.

- They want to kill Hoffmann. - What?

Yes, abandon him.

And nobody steps in?

- No. - Not even Ehrenberg?

Hoffmann himself always says that orders have to be followed.

What are you going to do to us?

Whatever they'll do to Hoffmann, they'll do to us.

I have to take you to the control room.

What's all this?

Imagine

you'd have returned to La Rochelle.

What would have been your outcome?

One dead.

One injured that you left with the Yanks.

But a boat full of eels

because you are just a fucking passenger steamer for a Jew.

Why do you think Dönitz agreed to do the exchange?

Because he wants to win the war.

Do you really think I will watch a new U-boat

and its crew, all fit for combat, running from the enemy?

U-612 is in an excellent position now,

right on the convoy routes

under my command.

You're so ridiculous, Wrangel.

Captain Hoffmann,

as the highest ranking officer on board I order you

to leave U-612.

You will get the dinghy and some provisions.

You all know the order.

You can't let this happen.

The men have nothing to do with this.

I am the highest ranking officer. The decision rests with me.

The two other men...

Maas and Strasser.

Will go with you.

Why?

Insubordination.

Because they didn't obey your orders, Tennstedt?

I dismissed you.

Maas and Strasser don't have to obey you.

They can't be punished for fulfilling their duty. That's not right.

Unless Captain Wrangel wants men

following anyone claiming to be their captain.

Loyalty, Wrangel, and honor.

But these words probably mean nothing to you.

Release them.

And you, Hoffmann, can address the men.

I'm talking to you as men of the sea.

Men facing death every single day.

I'm convinced

that only following orders will result in success.

What you're doing now is open mutiny.

And you know it.

All of you.

I declare my imperturbable faith in and allegiance to Captain Hoffmann.

Cut the crap, von Haber.

I'll go with you.

Max, no.

No.

I dropped out of the officer's school because I thought the good guys were here.

On board a U-boat.

But when I look at all of you...

I realize that they accepted any piece of shit.

I'd rather go with our Captain

than breathe the same air as you.

As you wish.

Ehrenberg?

Would you like to join them?

Come in.

These are Nathalie's things from the hospital.

Well, just her clothes.

A Jewish girl,

who cries out your brother's name in the night.

Who's recently had a child.

I'm so sorry. I didn't want you to get into any trouble.

If I'm at risk, surely I have a right to know.

Or did you think I'd denounce you?

Nathalie and Frank have a little daughter.

Where is the child now?

She's safe. For now.

If you need any help, you know where to find me.

Come in.

Criminal Inspector,

I received the final list of 100 hostages.

The document includes comments from the Mayor for translation

and for your approval. Thanks.

Concerning the security detail for Miss Strasser...

There's no need. Tell the man to stand down.

- Frank will return. - And if he doesn't?

He will return.

U-boats are being sunk all the time. That's what I'm hearing.

Is it true? That there's a list of names?

A list of people they'll shoot if anything else happens?

Things have changed.

You can see it out on the streets. Scared people act differently.

They see a woman of my age pushing a pram.

And suddenly they ask questions they would normally never ask.

He will come back.

She wants to see you.

Let's go.

Be careful, there's a step.

Leave us.

You know him?

Please take care of those two.

Miss Strasser.

Hello, Criminal Inspector.

Reporting for duty.

Where do you want me to sit?

This way.

Captain?

- Batteries on 80 percent. - I want them fully charged.

We stay surfaced.

Aye.

Marine radio communication! In English.

Merchant vessel at three five zero.

What a beauty.

Merchant vessel at three five zero. Distance 2500.

Here we go.

I thought we'd only attack at night?

A big vessel, Chief.

We're going to fuck this one, right?

Battle stations.

- Battle stations. - Rig ship for dive.

Let's go assholes. Flood tubes one to four.

Get out of my way.

Conning tower hatch is closed.

Dive, dive, dive. Cycle the vents.

Periscope depth.

Five degrees down on the bow planes. Zero degrees on the stern planes.

- Steering periscope depth. - Do you see any escorts?

Destroyers?

Make tubes one to four ready.

New course one-two-four. Make ready for submerged firing.

- Make ready for submerged firing. - Outer door for tube number two is open.

Tube number one is open.

- Number four is open. - Number three is open.

Tubes number one to four ready for submerged firing.

Torpedo speed 30,

enemy speed 17,

angle-on-the-bow, port 80, distance 300.

This is too great a risk, Sir. We're too close!

Protocols say 300 meters minimum!

Fire one! Fire two!

- Fire one! Fire two! - Fire one! Fire two!

Four. Five. Six. Seven. Eight.

Hit.

We did the right thing. Getting rid of Hoffmann and Max.

It was the right thing to do. We're lucky again.

Propeller noises.

Multiple! Everywhere!

I think it's an entire convoy.

An entire convoy.

We gave away our position, Sir. They will hunt us down!

We stepped into a hornet's nest.

One shouldn't do that, but if one does, one has to stomp it out.

Torpedo speed 30. Enemy speed 16. Angle-on-the-bow, zero. Distance 500.

Torpedo speed 30.

Enemy speed 16. Angle-on-the-bow, zero. Distance 500.

Fire three! Fire four!

- Fire three! Fire four! - Fire three! Fire four!

- Reload torpedoes! - Reload torpedoes!

Open it, move it. Release safety.

Open it, quick.

Push it.

Eight. Nine. Ten. Eleven.

Twelve. Thirteen. Fourteen. Fifteen.

Missed target!

- Both missed target! - Fuck! Move it!

Loud propeller noises.

At one three six. Approaching.

Constant bearing towards the enemy. They're about to ram us.

We're on collision course!

We're on collision course, Captain.

Maintain course.

We're on collision course. We have to change course.

Captain!

Welcome your fate, Tennstedt.
