00:00:16,833 --> 00:00:19,125
[suspenseful music playing]
4
00:00:32,958 --> 00:00:35,791
[typewriter clacking]
5
00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:41,875
[narrator] In any story,
if it's a good story,
6
00:00:42,458 --> 00:00:44,250
there is that which is seen
7
00:00:44,750 --> 00:00:46,458
and that which is hidden.
8
00:00:46,541 --> 00:00:49,208
[waves crashing]
9
00:00:49,291 --> 00:00:52,791
This is especially true in stories of war.
10
00:01:04,250 --> 00:01:05,958
{\an8}There is the war we see,
11
00:01:06,458 --> 00:01:09,083
{\an8}a contest of bombs and bullets,
12
00:01:10,208 --> 00:01:12,541
{\an8}courage, sacrifice,
13
00:01:13,041 --> 00:01:14,541
{\an8}and brute force.
14
00:01:15,041 --> 00:01:16,541
{\an8}As we count the winners,
15
00:01:17,041 --> 00:01:17,875
{\an8}the losers,
16
00:01:18,541 --> 00:01:19,541
{\an8}and the dead.
17
00:01:19,625 --> 00:01:21,625
[rain, waves crashing]
18
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,583
Now, men! Heave!
19
00:01:27,375 --> 00:01:29,375
[sonar pinging]
20
00:01:31,916 --> 00:01:34,041
[narrator] But alongside this war,
21
00:01:34,125 --> 00:01:36,333
another war is waged.
22
00:01:36,833 --> 00:01:39,625
A battleground in shades of gray,
23
00:01:40,125 --> 00:01:41,708
played out in deception,
24
00:01:42,208 --> 00:01:43,250
seduction,
25
00:01:43,750 --> 00:01:45,000
and bad faith.
26
00:01:48,500 --> 00:01:50,333
The participants are strange.
27
00:01:51,333 --> 00:01:53,166
They are seldom what they seem,
28
00:01:53,833 --> 00:01:55,750
and fiction and reality blur.
29
00:01:55,833 --> 00:01:58,166
[typewriter clacking]
30
00:01:58,250 --> 00:02:01,791
This war is a wilderness of mirrors
31
00:02:02,916 --> 00:02:04,375
in which the truth
32
00:02:04,458 --> 00:02:07,458
is protected by a bodyguard of lies.
33
00:02:08,833 --> 00:02:10,375
For the love of Christ.
34
00:02:11,916 --> 00:02:13,333
We should've heard by now.
35
00:02:13,416 --> 00:02:15,833
[typewriter clacking]
36
00:02:15,916 --> 00:02:17,875
This is our war.
37
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
[rain, waves crashing]
38
00:02:25,625 --> 00:02:27,625
[dramatic music playing]
39
00:02:35,250 --> 00:02:36,250
Dear God.
40
00:03:07,958 --> 00:03:08,791
Pray.
41
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:28,333
[teletype clacking]
42
00:03:37,791 --> 00:03:42,583
[typewriter clacking]
43
00:03:47,916 --> 00:03:51,625
[man] As I looked up
into the darkened sky and made a vow,
44
00:03:52,750 --> 00:03:56,166
I would give the old country
another day to fit me into something,
45
00:03:56,666 --> 00:03:58,083
and if nothing happened,
46
00:03:58,166 --> 00:04:00,166
I would take the next boat for the Cape.
47
00:04:01,250 --> 00:04:05,125
It was then,
as I was fitting my key into the door,
48
00:04:05,208 --> 00:04:07,375
I noticed a man at my elbow.
49
00:04:07,916 --> 00:04:11,833
I'd not seen him approach.
And his sudden appearance made me start.
50
00:04:12,916 --> 00:04:16,083
"May I come in for a minute?"
the man said,
51
00:04:16,166 --> 00:04:17,791
steadying his voice with effort.
52
00:04:17,875 --> 00:04:20,750
And if it were us, Omega,
would we let him in?
53
00:04:20,833 --> 00:04:23,500
Depends on whether or not
he knew the code, Agent Zed.
54
00:04:24,541 --> 00:04:25,875
No sooner was he through the door…
55
00:04:25,958 --> 00:04:27,625
He did let him in.
56
00:04:27,708 --> 00:04:30,833
…when the odd-little man
poured himself a stiff whiskey,
57
00:04:31,708 --> 00:04:33,208
drank it in three gulps.
58
00:04:34,250 --> 00:04:35,333
"Pardon," he said.
59
00:04:36,041 --> 00:04:37,583
"I'm a bit rattled tonight."
60
00:04:37,666 --> 00:04:42,125
"You see, I happen
at this moment to be dead."
61
00:04:44,416 --> 00:04:46,625
I think it's best we keep reading.
62
00:04:46,708 --> 00:04:48,833
Tomorrow's a day of high adventure, Agent.
63
00:04:48,916 --> 00:04:51,291
I think it's best you sleep. [kiss]
64
00:04:55,333 --> 00:04:56,458
They're here.
65
00:04:58,041 --> 00:04:58,875
Good night.
66
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,625
[man] This gorgeous delicacy
is Afghan cheese
67
00:05:09,708 --> 00:05:13,333
made from the milk
of a long-horned and lovesick sheep.
68
00:05:13,416 --> 00:05:15,291
You must be a smuggler, Ivor.
69
00:05:15,791 --> 00:05:18,166
Exotic cheese, the rest of us on rations.
70
00:05:18,833 --> 00:05:21,000
I could manage
your front office, you know,
71
00:05:21,500 --> 00:05:22,625
at the Cheese Eaters League.
72
00:05:22,708 --> 00:05:25,666
Has my brother left you unemployed,
Hester, now that he's retiring?
73
00:05:25,750 --> 00:05:26,916
Oh, is that the rumor?
74
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,000
I hope that's not
the reason for this party.
75
00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:30,416
Are you not retiring?
76
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:32,791
I've written a lovely speech
saying you are.
77
00:05:32,875 --> 00:05:35,500
Well, then I suggest you write
a lovely speech saying that I am not.
78
00:05:35,583 --> 00:05:37,625
This is simply a hiatus.
79
00:05:37,708 --> 00:05:39,750
Naval supplies.
He's off to whip them into shape.
80
00:05:39,833 --> 00:05:42,166
A noble contribution to this ghastly war.
81
00:05:42,250 --> 00:05:44,375
Maritime hardware.
I have a passion for it.
82
00:05:44,875 --> 00:05:46,458
Ivor, Ewen.
83
00:05:46,958 --> 00:05:49,041
-I'm afraid it's that time.
-That it is, darling.
84
00:05:49,125 --> 00:05:52,125
-I have prepared a dazzling toast.
-Oh.
85
00:05:52,208 --> 00:05:53,125
[kiss, kiss]
86
00:05:53,208 --> 00:05:56,166
Though why we're not cheering you
on your last night home--
87
00:05:56,250 --> 00:05:58,041
Oh, don't be silly.
King's Council deserves
88
00:05:58,125 --> 00:05:59,500
a proper sendoff into retirement.
89
00:05:59,583 --> 00:06:02,958
Hester, will you tell my husband
his guests await him.
90
00:06:03,750 --> 00:06:06,250
Absurd, isn't it? This retirement bit.
91
00:06:07,083 --> 00:06:10,708
When both of us know my brother
hasn't tried a case in three years.
92
00:06:11,208 --> 00:06:14,875
When gossip has it, he's been
knee-deep in intelligence for some time.
93
00:06:15,750 --> 00:06:17,958
-[Hester] Ivor.
-[clinking of glass]
94
00:06:18,041 --> 00:06:20,375
A grown man, gossiping like a fishwife.
95
00:06:20,458 --> 00:06:22,708
[Ivor] Has he been bumped over to MI5?
96
00:06:22,791 --> 00:06:25,333
-A special mission?
-Oh, my cue.
97
00:06:25,833 --> 00:06:26,666
I see.
98
00:06:26,750 --> 00:06:30,250
Surely he's taking you with him,
whatever it is.
99
00:06:30,333 --> 00:06:33,083
You really do
have an uncanny nose for cheese.
100
00:06:33,791 --> 00:06:36,000
[Ewen] To my
distinguished friends and colleagues,
101
00:06:36,083 --> 00:06:38,916
in whose honor we have uncorked a vintage…
102
00:06:39,416 --> 00:06:40,250
spam.
103
00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:41,291
[laughing]
104
00:06:41,375 --> 00:06:45,875
A devious cabal of immediate family
has billed this as my retirement,
105
00:06:46,375 --> 00:06:49,916
but you, my cherished guests,
are clever enough to know
106
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,625
that I will be buried in my silks
before I will ever hang them up for good.
107
00:06:55,041 --> 00:06:58,791
So, let us instead consider this
a cheers to my now full-time post
108
00:06:58,875 --> 00:07:01,291
as superintendent of nautical rivets
109
00:07:02,208 --> 00:07:04,250
and whatever
nuts and bolts may be required
110
00:07:04,333 --> 00:07:06,583
by dear England in her hour of need.
111
00:07:08,125 --> 00:07:10,416
But the real tribute tonight goes to Iris,
112
00:07:10,916 --> 00:07:13,291
my brilliant wife, who in the morning
113
00:07:13,375 --> 00:07:16,041
sails to less troubled shores
with our nestlings in tow.
114
00:07:17,416 --> 00:07:19,041
Iris is wiser than Solomon,
115
00:07:19,958 --> 00:07:21,291
stronger than Samson,
116
00:07:22,125 --> 00:07:23,416
and more patient than Job.
117
00:07:25,541 --> 00:07:27,458
But she has to be. She's married to me.
118
00:07:27,541 --> 00:07:29,125
[crowd laughs and applauds]
119
00:07:39,083 --> 00:07:41,291
[film narrator]
In the Moroccan city of Casablanca,
120
00:07:41,375 --> 00:07:44,583
Prime Minister Churchill
has held meetings with President Roosevelt
121
00:07:44,666 --> 00:07:46,958
to agree on plans
for the next stage of the war.
122
00:07:47,458 --> 00:07:50,666
As Hitler's Nazis
tighten their grip on occupied Europe,
123
00:07:50,750 --> 00:07:52,666
a mighty host of Allied troops…
124
00:07:52,750 --> 00:07:53,583
Excuse me.
125
00:07:54,208 --> 00:07:58,000
[clears throat] Excuse me.
Excuse me. Pardon me.
126
00:07:58,958 --> 00:08:00,541
Excuse me. Thank you.
127
00:08:00,625 --> 00:08:03,583
…and prepare for the battle that will
decide the fate of the free world.
128
00:08:04,875 --> 00:08:07,416
In the words of
President Franklin Roosevelt,
129
00:08:07,916 --> 00:08:11,458
"The fascists asked for it,
and they're going to get it."
130
00:08:11,541 --> 00:08:13,666
We work together if I'm not mistaken.
131
00:08:14,750 --> 00:08:15,833
You're not mistaken.
132
00:08:15,916 --> 00:08:17,916
[film narrator chatters unintelligibly]
133
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:22,666
Have you seen the main feature,
134
00:08:22,750 --> 00:08:24,291
Confessions of a Nazi Spy?
135
00:08:25,916 --> 00:08:27,833
It's, um-- it's based on a real, um,
136
00:08:28,333 --> 00:08:30,916
FBI agent Leon G. Turrou,
137
00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,625
T-U-R-R-O-U, who tracked
138
00:08:33,708 --> 00:08:36,583
Nazi spy rings
in the United States in 1938
139
00:08:36,666 --> 00:08:41,625
and went on, amazingly, to arrest
a number of Germans for espionage.
140
00:08:41,708 --> 00:08:43,458
[exhales] Sorry, I'm late.
141
00:08:44,541 --> 00:08:45,791
I'll let you watch.
142
00:08:46,750 --> 00:08:47,833
[clears throat]
143
00:08:57,541 --> 00:09:00,583
It was very gracious,
what you said tonight.
144
00:09:00,666 --> 00:09:02,416
More gracious than it needed to be.
145
00:09:02,500 --> 00:09:03,916
I meant every word.
146
00:09:05,833 --> 00:09:08,916
And I didn't mean for it
to hurt you this way, my leaving.
147
00:09:09,625 --> 00:09:11,708
It seems I'm always the last to go.
148
00:09:17,250 --> 00:09:19,583
-[sniffles]
-Stronger than Samson.
149
00:09:19,666 --> 00:09:21,125
We're off first thing in the morning.
150
00:09:21,208 --> 00:09:23,291
-And I haven't finished packing.
-Well, up you go then.
151
00:09:23,791 --> 00:09:26,166
-Safe journey, my dear.
-I will write to you.
152
00:09:26,833 --> 00:09:28,583
We'll write to each other.
153
00:09:30,750 --> 00:09:31,875
[kiss, sniffle]
154
00:09:40,208 --> 00:09:41,208
They have to go.
155
00:09:42,625 --> 00:09:43,708
Of course they do.
156
00:09:44,416 --> 00:09:47,541
If Hitler reaches London, a Jewish family
will be the first on their list.
157
00:09:48,750 --> 00:09:51,458
I would never expose Iris
and the children to that danger.
158
00:09:51,541 --> 00:09:53,458
A separation made all the more painful
159
00:09:54,916 --> 00:09:56,958
if it were to become permanent.
160
00:09:58,666 --> 00:09:59,958
She told you?
161
00:10:02,916 --> 00:10:04,833
I pleaded my case many times…
162
00:10:06,833 --> 00:10:08,875
for our family, for the marriage.
163
00:10:11,416 --> 00:10:13,541
Iris says marriages change, that…
164
00:10:14,666 --> 00:10:16,875
romance and love belong to the young.
165
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:19,000
I don't believe that
166
00:10:19,833 --> 00:10:21,000
or feel it.
167
00:10:22,708 --> 00:10:25,041
And the thought
they may never be coming back…
168
00:10:30,250 --> 00:10:31,750
I know I can be remote,
169
00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:34,708
lost in my work…
170
00:10:36,708 --> 00:10:38,208
not as attentive as I might be.
171
00:10:38,291 --> 00:10:40,666
You're an imperfect person.
I doubt you're the first.
172
00:10:40,750 --> 00:10:42,166
I want Iris to be happy,
173
00:10:42,875 --> 00:10:44,958
even if it comes at
the expense of my own happiness.
174
00:10:45,041 --> 00:10:47,333
I've never heard her
say a word about unhappiness.
175
00:10:47,416 --> 00:10:50,125
That's because she knows
you'd jump on a grenade for me.
176
00:10:50,625 --> 00:10:51,958
Only on your good days.
177
00:10:55,916 --> 00:10:58,625
Iris said if I really cared,
I'd come to America with them.
178
00:10:58,708 --> 00:11:00,583
Oh, people say all sorts of things.
179
00:11:02,333 --> 00:11:06,083
She knows your duty is to your family
and your country.
180
00:11:08,083 --> 00:11:10,500
The nightmare marching this way
is only too real.
181
00:11:11,208 --> 00:11:13,666
And Masterman has asked me
to serve on The Twenty Committee.
182
00:11:15,125 --> 00:11:16,083
So you must.
183
00:11:18,333 --> 00:11:19,583
Starting tomorrow.
184
00:11:22,791 --> 00:11:24,791
[somber music playing]
185
00:11:27,666 --> 00:11:28,750
Goodbye, darlings.
186
00:11:32,416 --> 00:11:34,375
All right, now. That's it. That's it.
187
00:11:36,500 --> 00:11:37,666
Godspeed, darling.
188
00:11:40,291 --> 00:11:43,083
Our family manor
will be a freezing tomb without you.
189
00:11:43,166 --> 00:11:46,000
Take care of your brother,
Ivor, and yourself.
190
00:11:56,041 --> 00:11:58,041
[car revving]
191
00:12:09,958 --> 00:12:10,875
It's cold.
192
00:12:11,375 --> 00:12:13,583
I will see to a fresh pot immediately.
193
00:12:13,666 --> 00:12:16,500
They will drag me back
to the bowels any moment.
194
00:12:18,083 --> 00:12:20,666
Fresh air, such a luxury now.
195
00:12:20,750 --> 00:12:21,583
Let's walk.
196
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,416
Everyone but a bloody fool
will know it's Sicily.
197
00:12:27,500 --> 00:12:30,333
That may be, Prime Minister,
but it is the only path forward,
198
00:12:30,416 --> 00:12:32,583
given that we must find a way into Europe.
199
00:12:33,250 --> 00:12:35,416
And the most strategic path is Sicily.
200
00:12:35,916 --> 00:12:36,916
It leads to Rome.
201
00:12:37,458 --> 00:12:40,333
France will follow.
A successful assault on Sicily
202
00:12:40,833 --> 00:12:42,833
means we will knock Italy out of the war,
203
00:12:42,916 --> 00:12:46,208
shatter Nazi morale, and spell
the beginning of their inevitable doom.
204
00:12:46,291 --> 00:12:48,375
Inevitable? Our losses mount daily.
205
00:12:48,875 --> 00:12:51,833
As you said yourself, sir,
"Sicily is the soft underbelly."
206
00:12:51,916 --> 00:12:53,083
I know what I said.
207
00:12:54,375 --> 00:12:58,083
I want to know how it will be achieved,
convincing Herr Hitler we're not gonna do
208
00:12:58,166 --> 00:13:00,916
what anyone with a bloody atlas
can see we'll do.
209
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,250
Hitler will need to believe
that our next target is Greece,
210
00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:07,875
which, yes,
will require an elaborate deception.
211
00:13:08,541 --> 00:13:10,041
A deception plan so complex
212
00:13:10,125 --> 00:13:12,541
I believe it can only be handled
by The Twenty Committee.
213
00:13:12,625 --> 00:13:16,125
Which is why I shall focus the committee's
attention on the "Trout Memo,"
214
00:13:16,250 --> 00:13:18,625
the document I compiled a few years ago,
215
00:13:19,416 --> 00:13:20,625
to which my assistant,
216
00:13:20,708 --> 00:13:23,083
Lieutenant Commander
Ian Fleming, made some contribution.
217
00:13:24,250 --> 00:13:26,083
"Intelligence is like trout fishing."
218
00:13:26,666 --> 00:13:30,208
"The trout fisher, in tying his lure,
attempts to attract the fish."
219
00:13:30,291 --> 00:13:31,125
I detest fish.
220
00:13:31,708 --> 00:13:34,416
Well, fish as metaphor, in this case.
221
00:13:35,125 --> 00:13:39,541
Uh, the Trout Memo
is a definitive blueprint for spy-craft.
222
00:13:39,625 --> 00:13:40,875
Prime Minister, the memo
223
00:13:40,958 --> 00:13:42,791
in the hands of The Twenty Committee
224
00:13:42,875 --> 00:13:45,291
may, I believe,
hold the key to deceiving Hitler.
225
00:13:45,375 --> 00:13:47,833
And while some of the ideas
may appear fantastic--
226
00:13:47,916 --> 00:13:49,333
I applaud the fantastic.
227
00:13:50,208 --> 00:13:52,583
It has many advantages over the mundane.
228
00:13:53,125 --> 00:13:56,291
But the more fantastic,
the more foolproof the plan must be.
229
00:13:57,541 --> 00:14:00,166
Our troops are near dead
from heat in Africa.
230
00:14:00,250 --> 00:14:02,916
I gave Roosevelt my word Sicily was next.
231
00:14:03,833 --> 00:14:06,250
An invasion date of July
is now set in stone.
232
00:14:06,958 --> 00:14:10,833
And right now, thousands of our boys
already lie in Europe's soil.
233
00:14:12,500 --> 00:14:13,958
If we do not fool the Nazis,
234
00:14:14,041 --> 00:14:16,708
and the enemy is
waiting for us on those beaches…
235
00:14:18,666 --> 00:14:21,416
history herself
will avert her eyes from the slaughter.
236
00:14:22,625 --> 00:14:24,625
[somber music playing]
237
00:14:30,291 --> 00:14:31,333
[Charles] Mother?
238
00:14:31,416 --> 00:14:34,708
Mother, please do not touch
the dolomite while I'm at work.
239
00:14:34,791 --> 00:14:37,000
A lobe in one of the cams is missing.
240
00:14:37,708 --> 00:14:40,541
I don't have time to find it now,
but haven't we learned
241
00:14:40,625 --> 00:14:42,958
that an overhead camshaft
is virtually useless
242
00:14:43,458 --> 00:14:45,166
without its properly functioning mate?
243
00:14:45,666 --> 00:14:48,000
You might worry about
finding your own mate.
244
00:14:48,083 --> 00:14:49,875
I hope to return with sugar cubes.
245
00:14:51,541 --> 00:14:52,416
And Robbie?
246
00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:55,791
Have you had success
in bringing Robbie home?
247
00:14:55,875 --> 00:14:58,458
-I'm doing all that I can.
-Pulling strings like you promised?
248
00:14:58,541 --> 00:15:02,250
-Every string within grasp.
-A real-life war hero.
249
00:15:05,083 --> 00:15:06,625
And where is Chittagong?
250
00:15:06,708 --> 00:15:07,541
Bengal.

Montagu? I invited him.
256
00:15:32,541 --> 00:15:33,666
That was a mistake.
257
00:15:35,416 --> 00:15:38,541
[man] The main deception we will
feed the Nazis will run as follows.
258
00:15:39,166 --> 00:15:42,166
Our Twelfth Army, which does not exist,
259
00:15:42,250 --> 00:15:44,833
with its 12 divisions,
which also do not exist,
260
00:15:44,916 --> 00:15:47,458
will invade Greece six months from now,
261
00:15:47,958 --> 00:15:49,333
on the 10th of July.
262
00:15:49,416 --> 00:15:52,833
We will develop numerous tactics
to reinforce this deception,
263
00:15:52,916 --> 00:15:55,791
bogus troop movements, fake radio traffic.
264
00:15:55,875 --> 00:15:59,083
Our agents
will recruit Greek interpreters,
265
00:15:59,166 --> 00:16:01,250
buy up a sizable cache of drachma,
266
00:16:01,333 --> 00:16:04,000
all to take the focus off Sicily,
267
00:16:04,083 --> 00:16:08,333
the real target and the site
of the actual invasion that same day.
268
00:16:08,416 --> 00:16:10,041
And the centerpiece of this deception?
269
00:16:10,125 --> 00:16:13,666
As I just said, Commander,
Twelfth Army is the centerpiece.
270
00:16:13,750 --> 00:16:15,416
It's not enough, I'm afraid.
271
00:16:16,625 --> 00:16:18,583
The tactics you've just outlined would
272
00:16:19,083 --> 00:16:23,416
point to Greece, but if we had
to get Hitler to divert actual troops
273
00:16:23,500 --> 00:16:25,583
from Sicily,
given her strategic importance,
274
00:16:25,666 --> 00:16:29,458
we would need to provide him with proof
of our intention towards Greece.
275
00:16:30,416 --> 00:16:32,458
-Fake proof, of course.
-I agree with that.
276
00:16:33,083 --> 00:16:34,375
And to that end, um,
277
00:16:34,458 --> 00:16:36,875
I've also been working on
a deception plan,
278
00:16:36,958 --> 00:16:38,666
which I've dubbed Operation Trojan Horse.
279
00:16:38,750 --> 00:16:41,000
It's a-- it's a ruse taken
from the Trout Memo.
280
00:16:41,083 --> 00:16:42,416
Idea number 28.
281
00:16:42,500 --> 00:16:44,375
Number 28? A corpse carrying false papers
282
00:16:44,458 --> 00:16:46,750
drops on the coast
from a parachute that supposedly failed.
283
00:16:46,833 --> 00:16:48,000
The Trout Memo is dead.
284
00:16:48,083 --> 00:16:50,833
I believe the prime minister
has an aversion to fish, Admiral.
285
00:16:50,916 --> 00:16:52,750
He did not kill the entire memo.
286
00:16:52,833 --> 00:16:55,541
A corpse carrying fake documents, hmm?
287
00:16:56,625 --> 00:17:00,333
Of all the ideas in the Trout Memo,
that one is by far the most precarious.
288
00:17:00,416 --> 00:17:03,000
Except the Germans will be
skittish on account of Spain,
289
00:17:03,083 --> 00:17:05,208
where they recently
failed to follow up real papers
290
00:17:05,291 --> 00:17:07,125
on the body of an airman
washed up in Cadiz.
291
00:17:07,208 --> 00:17:09,875
So may I suggest the timing is perfect.
292
00:17:09,958 --> 00:17:11,750
-[Godfrey] For Trojan Horse?
-Mm.
293
00:17:12,208 --> 00:17:13,791
A code name a child could decipher.
294
00:17:14,375 --> 00:17:18,416
And the Germans would be expecting us to
plant papers precisely because of Cadiz.
295
00:17:18,500 --> 00:17:20,416
Or the Nazis being linear thinkers
296
00:17:20,500 --> 00:17:22,541
would not want to
make the same mistake twice.
297
00:17:22,625 --> 00:17:24,625
Simply a version of the Haversack Ruse.
298
00:17:24,708 --> 00:17:26,166
Of which, of course, I am well aware.
299
00:17:26,250 --> 00:17:29,083
[Ewen] Then you will also be aware
that the ruse has a good track record,
300
00:17:29,166 --> 00:17:31,250
which is what I believe my friend…
301
00:17:31,333 --> 00:17:34,333
Uh, Flight Lieutenant Cholmondeley.
C-H-O-L-M-O-N-D-E-L-E-Y.
302
00:17:34,416 --> 00:17:35,500
…was trying to say.
303
00:17:35,583 --> 00:17:37,958
For those of you who don't know
Lt. Commander Montagu,
304
00:17:38,041 --> 00:17:39,458
he joins us from the Old Bailey,
305
00:17:39,541 --> 00:17:41,458
which means he's had
little time for deception.
306
00:17:41,541 --> 00:17:42,958
I've spent my days in court, sir.
307
00:17:43,041 --> 00:17:45,458
Hence, he is blind to the obvious pitfalls
308
00:17:45,541 --> 00:17:48,458
of tossing a letter-laden corpse
into the sea.
309
00:17:48,541 --> 00:17:52,916
I'm simply saying that for a deception
to reach Hitler, it must have a channel.
310
00:17:53,500 --> 00:17:56,375
Spain is neutral,
the ideal place to launch such a plan
311
00:17:56,458 --> 00:17:58,750
because she is crawling with
spies from both sides.
312
00:17:58,833 --> 00:18:01,125
-She has a vast coastline.
-[Charles] And since our agents
313
00:18:01,208 --> 00:18:02,958
in Madrid have
an elaborate network, we could
314
00:18:03,041 --> 00:18:05,375
quite literally float the documents
right into enemy hands.
315
00:18:06,375 --> 00:18:08,250
Montagu and Cholmondeley
are clearly convinced
316
00:18:08,333 --> 00:18:09,833
they have a direct line to the Fuhrer.
317
00:18:09,916 --> 00:18:14,208
So let's wish them both luck
implementing Operation Trojan Horse.
318
00:18:14,291 --> 00:18:17,458
The rest of us will proceed
with the operation I have outlined.
319
00:18:17,958 --> 00:18:19,708
I have a vested interest in this plot,
320
00:18:19,791 --> 00:18:22,791
which is why I've told M
in no uncertain terms
321
00:18:22,875 --> 00:18:26,208
you'll need a secure space,
command center, a staff…
322
00:18:26,291 --> 00:18:27,916
But do we think it can work?
323
00:18:28,416 --> 00:18:30,750
-I know I just made a case for it.
-An eloquent case.
324
00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:33,666
It's the Haversack Ruse.
It's tried, tested.
325
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:35,708
"Deception needs a channel."
Those were your words.
326
00:18:35,791 --> 00:18:37,791
They were. I'm only imagining
327
00:18:38,625 --> 00:18:39,916
a dead body
328
00:18:40,416 --> 00:18:42,208
hurtling through the air.
329
00:18:42,708 --> 00:18:45,166
The plan is bold, there's no question,
330
00:18:45,250 --> 00:18:48,166
but it's ours now, regardless.
M's seen to that.
331
00:18:48,666 --> 00:18:52,125
Although, what if the body
does disintegrate on impact?
332
00:18:52,208 --> 00:18:54,500
[Ian] Let's not bring that up now,
shall we?
333
00:18:54,583 --> 00:18:56,333
And definitely not in front of M.
334
00:18:56,833 --> 00:18:58,625
[Ewen] Why do you call Godfrey "M"?
335
00:18:58,708 --> 00:19:00,833
[Ian] Because I called my mother "M."
336
00:19:00,916 --> 00:19:05,250
Most terrifying, most impossible,
most demanding creature I've ever known.
337
00:19:05,333 --> 00:19:08,291
[Charles] What if the plane with the body
is intercepted before he's dropped?
338
00:19:08,375 --> 00:19:09,916
[Ewen] So, Mother has no faith in this?
339
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,541
[Ian] That's because Number 28
wasn't Godfrey's idea.
340
00:19:12,625 --> 00:19:16,041
It was mine, a plot I cribbed
from Basil Thompson's novel
341
00:19:16,125 --> 00:19:17,166
The Milliner's Hat.
342
00:19:17,250 --> 00:19:18,833
-Have you read Thompson?
-I prefer Buchan.
343
00:19:18,916 --> 00:19:21,666
[Charles] Or what if the autopsy reveals
that he didn't die of drowning?
344
00:19:22,250 --> 00:19:25,833
Or if the briefcase is returned to us
without the Germans seeing its contents?
345
00:19:25,916 --> 00:19:28,666
Charles, why on earth
do you keep poking holes in our plan?
346
00:19:28,750 --> 00:19:30,041
I'm preemptively poking
347
00:19:30,125 --> 00:19:32,375
to ensure all the details
are properly thought through.
348
00:19:32,875 --> 00:19:34,083
Because as Godfrey made clear,
349
00:19:34,166 --> 00:19:35,958
our feet will be
held to the fire soon enough.
350
00:19:36,041 --> 00:19:38,250
The plan will work if we make it work.
351
00:19:40,750 --> 00:19:42,333
He's put you down here.
352
00:19:44,916 --> 00:19:47,458
[Ewen] I will certainly
be removed from prying eyes.
353
00:19:47,541 --> 00:19:50,250
[Charles] Removed from
life in all forms, even the air.
354
00:19:51,500 --> 00:19:53,125
Will you be joining us down here, Fleming?
355
00:19:53,208 --> 00:19:55,708
I will likely stay upstairs.
356
00:19:55,791 --> 00:19:59,791
But whomever is equally industrious
will succeed equally well.
357
00:20:00,500 --> 00:20:02,500
-The Milliner's Hat, no doubt.
-Ah.
358
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:07,291
Oh well, The Twenty Committee certainly
359
00:20:07,375 --> 00:20:10,083
has its advantages,
I suppose, if you like spooks.
360
00:20:10,916 --> 00:20:13,666
My friends think I'm
working in naval supplies.
361
00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:15,583
My mother believes I'm a clerk.
362
00:20:16,750 --> 00:20:18,208
And Robert Cholmondeley?
363
00:20:18,791 --> 00:20:19,750
My brother.
364
00:20:19,833 --> 00:20:21,958
I did hear the news from Chittagong.
365
00:20:22,541 --> 00:20:23,791
My deepest condolences.
366
00:20:23,875 --> 00:20:25,708
No, yes, we've lost a real hero.
367
00:20:26,666 --> 00:20:28,875
Leaving my mother with me, the penguin,
368
00:20:29,541 --> 00:20:32,375
RAF pilot and officer
with big feet and bad eyes,
369
00:20:32,875 --> 00:20:35,000
which means I'm, in effect, grounded,
370
00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:37,208
flightless bird.
371
00:20:40,083 --> 00:20:41,708
[Ewen] Well, what say we start with
372
00:20:41,791 --> 00:20:44,416
the easy part and find ourselves a corpse?
373
00:20:45,416 --> 00:20:47,333
You can take your pick, to be honest.
374
00:20:47,416 --> 00:20:49,625
That goes right down the corridor.
375
00:20:49,708 --> 00:20:51,541
Right, you can go straight through there.
376
00:20:51,625 --> 00:20:53,583
Two, three, lift.
377
00:20:53,666 --> 00:20:55,541
[fast-paced music playing]
378
00:21:02,875 --> 00:21:04,041
You did say drownings.
379
00:21:04,125 --> 00:21:07,000
[phone ringing]
380
00:21:07,916 --> 00:21:08,875
Room 13.
381
00:21:09,375 --> 00:21:10,750
Coroner Birtwistle for you.
382
00:21:11,416 --> 00:21:12,458
Montagu.
383
00:21:13,666 --> 00:21:15,541
[Hester] This is the same
Official Secrets Act
384
00:21:15,625 --> 00:21:17,041
you signed for Bletchley,
385
00:21:17,125 --> 00:21:19,625
but this covers your work
with The Twenty Committee
386
00:21:19,708 --> 00:21:21,375
and here in room 13.
387
00:21:21,458 --> 00:21:24,625
Male, of service age, drowned.
388
00:21:25,125 --> 00:21:27,958
-Now, tell me why you want him?
-Where are his legs?
389
00:21:28,625 --> 00:21:30,375
And are there 20 in The Twenty Committee?
390
00:21:30,458 --> 00:21:32,375
No, twenty's a joke. Two Xs.
391
00:21:32,458 --> 00:21:34,166
Ah, the Roman numerals.
392
00:21:34,250 --> 00:21:37,083
-Oh, as in double-cross?
-[laughs]
393
00:21:38,041 --> 00:21:41,875
You will use your Bletchley skills
to fish for cues in decoded chatter
394
00:21:41,958 --> 00:21:45,125
about Sicily, Greece,
enemy troops in those areas.
395
00:21:45,208 --> 00:21:46,416
Is that understood?
396
00:21:48,250 --> 00:21:52,375
The team in 102 are planning
fake training exercises.
397
00:21:52,458 --> 00:21:54,833
106 are running double agents.
398
00:21:54,916 --> 00:21:57,625
107 will be dropping leaflets on Cypress.
399
00:21:57,708 --> 00:21:59,375
I don't know yet
what the leaflets will say.
400
00:21:59,458 --> 00:22:03,125
And yet here we are in a huge city
in the middle of a world war,
401
00:22:03,625 --> 00:22:06,958
and we can't seem to find ourselves
a single suitable corpse.
402
00:22:07,541 --> 00:22:08,958
We need an insider.
403
00:22:10,041 --> 00:22:11,541
We need Bentley Purchase.
404
00:22:12,041 --> 00:22:14,375
And to what purpose would the body be put?
405
00:22:14,458 --> 00:22:17,375
A warlike operation,
that's really all we can say.
406
00:22:17,458 --> 00:22:20,041
Although we can also say
that the body must be male,
407
00:22:20,125 --> 00:22:22,166
of service age, intact,
408
00:22:22,250 --> 00:22:23,875
and could pass for a drowning.
409
00:22:24,375 --> 00:22:27,333
Intriguing, but I'll have to demur.
410
00:22:27,416 --> 00:22:28,666
Public confidence in our office
411
00:22:28,750 --> 00:22:31,291
would be irreparably shaken
if something like that got out.
412
00:22:31,375 --> 00:22:32,708
[Ewen] Like the Darby case?
413
00:22:34,083 --> 00:22:35,583
You remember the Darby case, Bentley?
414
00:22:36,083 --> 00:22:38,083
I brought you in
to give the evidence a second look.
415
00:22:38,166 --> 00:22:39,750
Your testimony won the case.
416
00:22:39,833 --> 00:22:41,166
Case cemented your reputation,
417
00:22:41,875 --> 00:22:44,375
which led to your position here,
if I'm not mistaken.
418
00:22:44,875 --> 00:22:46,250
[clicks tongue] In a nutshell.
419
00:22:46,333 --> 00:22:47,583
The matter here is urgent.
420
00:22:47,666 --> 00:22:50,500
It is top secret,
and it is approved at the highest level.
421
00:22:50,583 --> 00:22:53,458
-It cannot be high enough.
-Churchill has approved it.
422
00:22:53,541 --> 00:22:55,916
[clock ticking]
423
00:22:57,583 --> 00:22:59,583
[footsteps echoing]
424
00:23:11,083 --> 00:23:12,541
Fresh as a daisy.
425
00:23:13,041 --> 00:23:15,791
Transferred from
Saint Pancras hospital yesterday.
426
00:23:15,875 --> 00:23:17,125
[nurse] What is your name, dear?
427
00:23:17,916 --> 00:23:18,875
[Bentley] This is…
428
00:23:19,375 --> 00:23:20,458
was…
429
00:23:20,958 --> 00:23:22,375
Glyndwr Michael.
430
00:23:22,958 --> 00:23:24,958
[nurse] What is it
you do for work, Glyndwr?
431
00:23:26,333 --> 00:23:28,833
[Bentley] There is no occupation
noted in the man's chart.
432
00:23:28,916 --> 00:23:31,541
Appears he was originally
from Aberbargoed,
433
00:23:32,041 --> 00:23:34,541
but in London, he was a vagrant,
no fixed address.
434
00:23:35,666 --> 00:23:38,583
Cause of death is chemical toxicity
435
00:23:39,083 --> 00:23:41,000
from rat poison left on bread.
436
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,625
I want you to know,
God forgives you, Glyndwr,
437
00:23:46,125 --> 00:23:48,916
for hating yourself so much
you'd take your own life.
438
00:23:49,416 --> 00:23:52,416
[Bentley] It appears the man
ended his life while of unsound mind.
439
00:23:52,500 --> 00:23:56,125
Luckily for us, the human body
contains a host of chemicals naturally,
440
00:23:56,208 --> 00:23:59,000
so determining how he died
should he be immersed in water
441
00:23:59,083 --> 00:24:01,208
would require a highly skilled coroner.
442
00:24:02,083 --> 00:24:03,666
Where would you be landing him?
443
00:24:04,166 --> 00:24:06,208
Most likely a small coastal town.
444
00:24:06,291 --> 00:24:08,625
[Bentley] Where the local coroner,
if there's one at all,
445
00:24:08,708 --> 00:24:11,541
won't have the foggiest idea
why this chap kicked the bucket.
446
00:24:11,625 --> 00:24:13,833
Do you have any relatives, Glyndwr?
447
00:24:16,250 --> 00:24:18,000
Do you have a next of kin?
448
00:24:21,333 --> 00:24:23,125
The body is unclaimed,
449
00:24:23,791 --> 00:24:27,958
but I must warn you,
our friend will soon start to rot.
450
00:24:28,458 --> 00:24:30,000
I can place him in our coldest box,
451
00:24:30,083 --> 00:24:32,375
which will retard decomposition
but not arrest it.
452
00:24:32,458 --> 00:24:34,458
Meaning if Glyndwr Michael
453
00:24:34,541 --> 00:24:36,833
is to be of any use to you at all,
454
00:24:37,375 --> 00:24:39,583
he must be in service within three months.
455

00:24:48,041 --> 00:24:49,458
[Ian] In the real war,
458
00:24:49,958 --> 00:24:53,625
there are constant reminders
of the brutality at hand.
459
00:24:56,750 --> 00:24:59,583
A quarter of a million lie dead in battle,
460
00:25:00,416 --> 00:25:01,875
an unspeakable horror
461
00:25:02,458 --> 00:25:04,500
with no end in sight.
462
00:25:05,041 --> 00:25:06,500
I'll be at my club.
463
00:25:07,125 --> 00:25:09,083
And I shall be up to no good
464
00:25:09,750 --> 00:25:10,958
as usual.
465
00:25:11,041 --> 00:25:12,875

[Ian] In this war,

real lives are also lost,
474
00:25:34,708 --> 00:25:38,500
and even fictional lives
can meet an untimely end.
475
00:25:42,958 --> 00:25:45,000
[Ewen] I believe my guests
have preceded me, Teddy.
476
00:25:45,083 --> 00:25:46,375
They have, sir,
477
00:25:46,458 --> 00:25:48,083
and ordered their drinks.
478
00:25:48,166 --> 00:25:49,083
[Ewen] Thank you.
479
00:25:50,625 --> 00:25:52,708
[Ian] And once in a great while,
480
00:25:52,791 --> 00:25:56,125
the laws of nature
reverse themselves entirely,
481
00:25:56,916 --> 00:25:59,500
and the dead are made alive again.
482
00:25:59,583 --> 00:26:01,500
We were just discussing our chap.
483
00:26:01,583 --> 00:26:03,833
The crucial thing is that he must be real.
484
00:26:04,750 --> 00:26:05,958
As real as you or I.
485
00:26:07,041 --> 00:26:09,166
He must have parents, for example.
486
00:26:09,250 --> 00:26:11,833
Rank, regiment,
bank accounts, love affairs…
487
00:26:11,916 --> 00:26:14,041
Nicotine habit. He attended Oundle.
488
00:26:14,625 --> 00:26:16,208
Flew kites as a boy.
489
00:26:16,291 --> 00:26:19,041
And on a blustery day, you'll still
find him kiting in Dulwich Park.
490
00:26:19,125 --> 00:26:21,916
Thing is, the Germans will
scrutinize every detail of our fallen man.
491
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,750
-So the slightest inconsistency--
-Ah, Teddy. Thank you.
492
00:26:26,458 --> 00:26:27,708
-Martini.
-Thank you.
493
00:26:27,791 --> 00:26:30,000
-Gin and lemon for the lady.
-Thank you.
494
00:26:31,791 --> 00:26:34,916
Even the, uh, slightest inconsistency
will signal the ruse.
495
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,291
So, to create a real fake man
from a real dead man,
496
00:26:38,791 --> 00:26:39,625
we start by--
497
00:26:39,708 --> 00:26:42,000
By giving him a real, real name.
498
00:26:42,083 --> 00:26:45,208
-John would be solid.
-James. George. Robert is good.
499
00:26:45,291 --> 00:26:48,333
-That's my brother's name.
-[Ewen] Of course, forgive me.
500
00:26:48,416 --> 00:26:50,291
-But William could work.
-[Ewen] It could.
501
00:26:50,875 --> 00:26:53,625
And William would be a Royal Marine.
502
00:26:53,708 --> 00:26:56,250
An officer in the Royal Marines
if he's carrying secret letters.
503
00:26:56,333 --> 00:26:57,166
[Ewen] Exactly right.
504
00:26:57,250 --> 00:26:59,458
An officer in the Royal Marines
505
00:26:59,958 --> 00:27:01,000
with a common British name,
506
00:27:01,083 --> 00:27:02,916
so that when
the Germans check the Navy lists,
507
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:07,416
it will be harder to
track down a Major William Martin.
508
00:27:07,500 --> 00:27:10,625
With your identification number.
How very clever.
509
00:27:10,708 --> 00:27:12,625
So, if the Germans do follow the name--
510
00:27:12,708 --> 00:27:14,708
[Charles] Ewen will be the first to know.
511
00:27:15,291 --> 00:27:19,333
There it is, as if I… were him.
512
00:27:19,416 --> 00:27:22,583
-Now, all we need is his photograph.
-In Royal Marine Blues.
513
00:27:22,666 --> 00:27:25,958
No, no. Marines travel in battledress,
and our Marine will be traveling.
514
00:27:26,041 --> 00:27:28,041
And the uniform cannot appear new.
515
00:27:28,125 --> 00:27:29,875
It must be broken down.
516
00:27:29,958 --> 00:27:32,583
It must have exactly
the right patina of wear,
517
00:27:33,125 --> 00:27:34,125
as if I were him.
518
00:27:34,625 --> 00:27:38,458
There must be a love story
if Maj. Martin's life is to be believable.
519
00:27:38,541 --> 00:27:41,041
[Ewen] Objection.
Creation of a material fact.
520
00:27:41,125 --> 00:27:43,416
A real life need not be a romantic one.
521
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:46,416
He would carry a letter from his betrothed
professing her deep love for him.
522
00:27:46,500 --> 00:27:49,166
That's very good. That's precisely
the level of detail we need.
523
00:27:49,666 --> 00:27:51,208
-And he would carry her photograph.
-Yes.
524
00:27:51,291 --> 00:27:53,541
Well, we clearly read different novels.
525
00:27:53,625 --> 00:27:56,500
Well, why not ask
some of our female colleagues
526
00:27:56,583 --> 00:27:58,500
if they might be willing
to submit snapshots,
527
00:27:58,583 --> 00:28:00,875
and perhaps we can
find a partner for our Major Martin.
528
00:28:00,958 --> 00:28:02,333
That's not a risk?
529
00:28:02,416 --> 00:28:04,458
Picking a girl working in the Admiralty?
530
00:28:04,541 --> 00:28:07,041
She's an anonymous girl,
washed up on a distant shore.
531
00:28:07,125 --> 00:28:08,458
Oh, she might even be thrilled
532
00:28:08,541 --> 00:28:10,833
to find herself
in the middle of a dangerous plot.
533
00:28:11,333 --> 00:28:13,166
Lives at stake, countries at war.
534
00:28:13,916 --> 00:28:16,125
Her lover torn away by duty and fate.
535
00:28:19,416 --> 00:28:21,500
You want me to help you?
536
00:28:21,583 --> 00:28:23,458
[Charles] And by extension,
help your country.
537
00:28:24,166 --> 00:28:26,416
Yes, you know all the girls
in the office and, um,
538
00:28:26,916 --> 00:28:31,041
I've seen the way you go about your work.
You're very clever and,
539
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,291
uh, meticulous and--
540
00:28:33,375 --> 00:28:34,583
You've been watching me.
541
00:28:34,666 --> 00:28:38,125
No, no, not-- there's certainly--
there's nothing untoward, I simply…
542
00:28:38,708 --> 00:28:40,291
[takes a deep breath]
543
00:28:40,375 --> 00:28:44,208
If you could point me to a girl
who would give us her photograph.
544
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:48,208
But what would her photograph be used for?
545
00:28:48,291 --> 00:28:50,250
Well, I'm afraid that's classified.
546
00:28:50,750 --> 00:28:54,458
But, um, by donating her image,
she'd be involved in
547
00:28:54,541 --> 00:28:57,583
and on the ground floor
of a significant operation.
548
00:28:57,666 --> 00:28:59,458
Operation Trojan Horse.
549
00:28:59,541 --> 00:29:00,625
It's been renamed,
550
00:29:01,125 --> 00:29:02,500
something less obvious.
551
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:04,375
Operation Mincemeat.
552
00:29:04,458 --> 00:29:06,166
Due to the dead body.
553
00:29:06,250 --> 00:29:09,291
-You surmised that rather quickly.
-I already knew the plot.
554
00:29:09,375 --> 00:29:10,458
[drawer opens]
555
00:29:10,541 --> 00:29:11,583
[item clatters]
556
00:29:13,250 --> 00:29:15,083
Would something like this do?
557
00:29:18,833 --> 00:29:20,958
Taken by my husband a long time ago.
558
00:29:22,708 --> 00:29:23,541
Your husband,
559
00:29:24,333 --> 00:29:25,708
I didn't realize, um…
560
00:29:26,583 --> 00:29:28,041
Well, it-- it's
561
00:29:28,125 --> 00:29:30,291
lovely. It's-- it's perfect.
562
00:29:30,375 --> 00:29:32,500
It could be my
contribution to the mission.
563
00:29:33,125 --> 00:29:34,500
First of many, perhaps.
564
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:38,791
My photograph in exchange
for a seat at the table.
565
00:29:42,333 --> 00:29:43,333
Very well.
566
00:29:45,500 --> 00:29:47,375
[suspenseful music playing]
567
00:29:47,458 --> 00:29:48,666
[Jean] I'm all ears.
568
00:29:49,791 --> 00:29:52,375
Well, we've managed to find a body.
569
00:29:53,333 --> 00:29:54,375
Pretty as a picture.
570
00:29:55,250 --> 00:29:57,166
[Charles] And the process
of transforming him into
571
00:29:57,250 --> 00:30:00,000
Major William Martin is on the way.
572
00:30:00,083 --> 00:30:02,166
[flash bulbs popping]
573
00:30:04,958 --> 00:30:05,833
Bloody hell!
574
00:30:06,416 --> 00:30:09,958
Let's just not attempt
to make him smile again, please.
575
00:30:10,458 --> 00:30:12,791
-Does none of us any favors.
-Because he looks dead, Bentley.
576
00:30:12,875 --> 00:30:14,875
Whatever we do, just deader and deader.
577
00:30:14,958 --> 00:30:17,875
It's hard to come alive
for one's close up in this state.
578
00:30:17,958 --> 00:30:19,625
If we bungle one tiny detail,
579
00:30:19,708 --> 00:30:22,458
a droopy eyelid,
an open mouth instead of a smile,
580
00:30:22,541 --> 00:30:25,500
we might as well telegraph
Berlin ourselves it's all a hoax.
581
00:30:25,583 --> 00:30:27,750
Then may I suggest a live face?
582
00:30:27,833 --> 00:30:29,583
That looks just like the dead face?
583
00:30:29,666 --> 00:30:31,041
In a city of nine million,
584
00:30:31,791 --> 00:30:33,583
surely someone resembles our friend.
585
00:30:35,291 --> 00:30:36,708
[piano playing]
586
00:30:36,791 --> 00:30:38,791
[indistinct chatter]
587
00:30:47,625 --> 00:30:49,583
Do we think he'd be dancing?
588
00:30:49,666 --> 00:30:51,083
Major Martin, if he were here?
589
00:30:51,166 --> 00:30:52,083
Well, he is an officer.
590
00:30:52,166 --> 00:30:55,416
Well, not all officers dance, and I doubt
our Bill gives two figs for dancing.
591
00:30:57,958 --> 00:30:59,583
No, too full in the face.
592
00:30:59,666 --> 00:31:02,041
-But without the mustache?
-His brow is too heavy.
593
00:31:02,666 --> 00:31:04,000
Why don't we try something easier,
594
00:31:04,083 --> 00:31:06,125
for God's sake,
like looking for tits on a bull?
595
00:31:06,875 --> 00:31:08,291
Forgive me. That was uncalled for.
596
00:31:08,375 --> 00:31:11,375
No, I saw the photographs.
It's called for.
597
00:31:11,875 --> 00:31:14,750
As for dancing, I suspect
the major's not much for a foxtrot
598
00:31:14,833 --> 00:31:17,125
but could clear the floor with a tango.
599
00:31:17,208 --> 00:31:20,625
Our progress to date:
Major Bill Martin is an industrious chap,
600
00:31:20,708 --> 00:31:24,250
occasionally forgetful,
habitually tardy, but also clever.
601
00:31:24,333 --> 00:31:26,291
-Amend that to brilliant.
-He's no good with money.
602
00:31:26,375 --> 00:31:28,458
We should include
an overdraft letter in his briefcase.
603
00:31:28,541 --> 00:31:30,583
And is he happy? Is he a happy man?
604
00:31:30,666 --> 00:31:31,708
[Ewen] He wants to be.
605
00:31:32,208 --> 00:31:34,208
He started out with such promise,
606
00:31:34,791 --> 00:31:37,916
a sense of hope about,
about the world, about his future.
607
00:31:39,541 --> 00:31:42,250
But now it all seems dark, uncertain.
608
00:31:42,916 --> 00:31:44,458
He is in the middle of a war.
609
00:31:44,541 --> 00:31:46,625
Exactly right.
He signed up for the Royal Marines.
610
00:31:46,708 --> 00:31:49,833
But once commissioned was consigned
to a desk, which he despised.
611
00:31:49,916 --> 00:31:53,333
Because the life he really wanted
was one of daring and intrigue,
612
00:31:53,416 --> 00:31:57,125
and so he escaped,
and he switched to the commandos,
613
00:31:57,208 --> 00:31:59,208
where he distinguished
himself in technical matters.
614
00:31:59,291 --> 00:32:00,875
The mechanics of landing craft.
615
00:32:00,958 --> 00:32:03,125
And he predicted
the Dieppe Raid would be a catastrophe.
616
00:32:03,208 --> 00:32:04,291
[Ewen] And how right he was.
617
00:32:04,375 --> 00:32:06,750
He sounds like a character
from Sir John's latest novel.
618
00:32:07,333 --> 00:32:10,041
-Masterman is writing a novel?
-[Jean] A spy novel.
619
00:32:10,125 --> 00:32:12,333
Apparently, he thinks of me as his muse.
620
00:32:12,416 --> 00:32:15,500
Well then, he may be in for a duel
because you're Major Martin's muse now.
621
00:32:15,583 --> 00:32:18,000
The girl I was at 20 is his muse.
622
00:32:18,083 --> 00:32:20,666
Nevertheless, it's your photograph
that will be pressed to his heart
623
00:32:20,750 --> 00:32:21,625
when he washes ashore.
624
00:32:21,708 --> 00:32:23,791
Yes, wallet litter
is what you are. [chuckles]
625
00:32:24,916 --> 00:32:26,291
Not as in rubbish.
626
00:32:26,375 --> 00:32:28,291
That's just spy parlance
for the bits and pieces
627
00:32:28,375 --> 00:32:30,000
that one finds in one's pockets.
628
00:32:30,083 --> 00:32:31,458
And do I have a name?
629
00:32:31,541 --> 00:32:32,458
Pam.
630
00:32:34,125 --> 00:32:37,458
Not five weeks ago,
the major looked across a crowded room.
631
00:32:37,541 --> 00:32:39,250
Across a crowded room.
632
00:32:39,333 --> 00:32:40,541
The major sat
633
00:32:41,125 --> 00:32:43,500
at a small table in a strange bar
634
00:32:44,041 --> 00:32:46,041
and found himself with a woman
635
00:32:46,708 --> 00:32:49,208
both known and unknown to him all at once.
636
00:32:50,916 --> 00:32:52,750
Within days, something deep
637
00:32:53,750 --> 00:32:57,166
and unexpected had blossomed,
culminating in a diamond ring
638
00:32:57,250 --> 00:32:59,291
slid onto Pam's slim finger
639
00:33:00,250 --> 00:33:03,458
as Bill revealed himself to her
as a changed man.
640
00:33:03,958 --> 00:33:05,125
[man] Jean?
641
00:33:06,750 --> 00:33:07,625
Jean.
642
00:33:08,791 --> 00:33:09,833
There you are.
643
00:33:09,916 --> 00:33:11,458
I had him down as a guest.
644
00:33:11,541 --> 00:33:15,083
Yes, under Lieutenant Commander
Montagu's name. Thank you.
645
00:33:16,916 --> 00:33:19,083
-Please, sit.
-Thanks.
646
00:33:19,166 --> 00:33:22,208
I suppose it's very fashionable
these days marrying an American.
647
00:33:22,708 --> 00:33:25,250
Who, me? Oh no, that'd be my lucky day.
648
00:33:25,750 --> 00:33:27,583
Jean and I only just met, but, uh,
649
00:33:27,666 --> 00:33:31,375
well, so far she tolerates me well enough,
so I guess there's hope.
650
00:33:31,875 --> 00:33:33,041
I'm a widow.
651
00:33:33,708 --> 00:33:37,541
So, this is my friend
Sergeant Roger Dearborn.
652
00:33:37,625 --> 00:33:39,000
[Roger] It's nice to meet you all.
653
00:33:40,541 --> 00:33:42,416
Jean said you wanted to talk to me?
654
00:33:42,500 --> 00:33:43,333
[flash bulb popping]
655
00:33:45,083 --> 00:33:47,208
Or you didn't want to talk to me.
656
00:33:47,291 --> 00:33:51,541
Uh, no, we did, because we were
discussing something, top-secret project.
657
00:33:51,625 --> 00:33:52,666
[Charles] A study.
658
00:33:53,458 --> 00:33:54,625
Profiling…
659
00:33:55,750 --> 00:33:57,750
American servicemen and how they might…
660
00:33:57,833 --> 00:33:59,666
[splutters] …integrate
with British troops.
661
00:34:00,625 --> 00:34:01,500
That's top-secret?
662
00:34:01,583 --> 00:34:03,791
The Nazis wreaked havoc
with the radio antenna.
663
00:34:03,875 --> 00:34:05,458
Well, I'm not sure what that has to do--
664
00:34:05,541 --> 00:34:09,041
What, what we're wondering is whether you
would care to participate in the project?
665
00:34:09,125 --> 00:34:11,041
It wouldn't take much time.
Just a few questions.
666
00:34:11,125 --> 00:34:12,583
Allow us to take your photograph.
667
00:34:12,666 --> 00:34:15,125
We could arrange for you
to come around to the Admiralty,
668
00:34:15,208 --> 00:34:16,250
say tomorrow.
669
00:34:17,750 --> 00:34:19,666
Go on. It'll be fun.
670
00:34:21,875 --> 00:34:23,791
-Okay, then.
-Very nice to meet you.
671
00:34:23,875 --> 00:34:25,250
-Thanks.
-So, I'll see you tomorrow.
672
00:34:25,333 --> 00:34:26,333
Hopefully, see you soon.
673
00:34:26,916 --> 00:34:28,916
What do you think? Well, he could do?
674
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:32,208
-I know he's not a perfect match, but--
-A gift horse. He will do.
675
00:34:32,708 --> 00:34:33,791
A toast.
676
00:34:33,875 --> 00:34:36,083
To Pam, our secret weapon
677
00:34:36,166 --> 00:34:38,625
who's already managed
to see what we could not.
678
00:34:38,708 --> 00:34:39,750
[laughing]
679
00:34:40,833 --> 00:34:44,208
No, I think it was after university
that Bill took up the bass…
680
00:34:44,291 --> 00:34:45,583
[Ewen] I think it was trumpet.
681
00:34:45,666 --> 00:34:48,416
…which was frowned upon
by his mother, Antonia,
682
00:34:48,500 --> 00:34:52,541
a devout Catholic who at all times
kept a candle lit for Saint Jude.
683
00:34:52,625 --> 00:34:55,375
Every piece makes a whole.
A man is a mosaic.
684
00:34:57,166 --> 00:34:59,875
Will you wake your family
getting home so late?
685
00:35:00,833 --> 00:35:03,166
My wife is in America with the children.
686
00:35:03,666 --> 00:35:05,333
Hester told me just this morning
687
00:35:05,416 --> 00:35:08,625
she'd taken a job there,
with the British Security Coordination.
688
00:35:08,708 --> 00:35:10,250
Hester told you?
689
00:35:11,375 --> 00:35:15,083
May I just say I was
very sorry to hear of your husband.
690
00:35:15,750 --> 00:35:17,916
I've been alone for many years,
691
00:35:18,000 --> 00:35:21,958
which is why it pleases me
to see Bill and Pam so madly in love.
692
00:35:22,041 --> 00:35:24,750
Pam is very lucky
to have you cheering her on.
693
00:35:25,500 --> 00:35:26,583
And Bill, you.
694
00:35:29,541 --> 00:35:31,041
Thank you for walking with me.
695
00:35:31,125 --> 00:35:32,916
I can see you all the way up.
696
00:35:33,958 --> 00:35:36,208
Actually, I think I'll stay.
697
00:35:36,291 --> 00:35:37,541
What, in there?
698
00:35:37,625 --> 00:35:38,458
Alone?
699
00:35:39,250 --> 00:35:40,458
No, I couldn't possibly.
700
00:35:40,958 --> 00:35:43,708
I'm perfectly capable
of taking care of myself.
701
00:35:43,791 --> 00:35:45,250
Who would argue otherwise?
702
00:35:47,916 --> 00:35:50,083
It's Bill and Pam's favorite song.
703
00:35:51,291 --> 00:35:53,291
[big band music playing]
704
00:36:30,833 --> 00:36:32,416
[laughing]
705
00:36:37,291 --> 00:36:38,541
[Jean] Whoo!
706
00:36:41,041 --> 00:36:43,083
It was more like a lethal Lindy Hop.
707
00:36:43,166 --> 00:36:46,166
You flattened every male
of fighting age in the place.
708
00:36:46,666 --> 00:36:48,208
I was testing it out.
709
00:36:48,291 --> 00:36:50,708
Oh, a secret weapon against the Nazis.
710
00:36:51,291 --> 00:36:52,875
Pam's secret weapon.
711
00:36:53,375 --> 00:36:55,416
Her way of forgetting her woes.
712
00:36:55,500 --> 00:36:57,791
Major Martin will need
the stamina of an ox.
713
00:36:57,875 --> 00:36:58,708
[laughs]
714
00:37:00,458 --> 00:37:03,208
She's a surprising woman though,
isn't she? Pam?
715
00:37:04,208 --> 00:37:06,458
At a crossroads in her life, still young.
716
00:37:07,125 --> 00:37:10,166
Probably, hasn't quite found her stride.
717
00:37:10,666 --> 00:37:12,500
Is she younger than Bill?
718
00:37:12,583 --> 00:37:14,625
I hadn't pictured them that way.
719
00:37:14,708 --> 00:37:16,291
Well, Bill's hardly old.
720
00:37:17,666 --> 00:37:19,041
If you say so.
721
00:37:20,416 --> 00:37:24,666
What I think Pam sees in Bill
beyond the dashing figure he cuts
722
00:37:24,750 --> 00:37:26,416
when he walks into a room,
723
00:37:26,916 --> 00:37:28,250
is something deeper.
724
00:37:28,791 --> 00:37:30,791
And Bill suspects the same in her.
725
00:37:31,500 --> 00:37:34,791
But at first, all he sees
is a woman of fierce intelligence,
726
00:37:34,875 --> 00:37:37,541
uncommon grace,
a demon on the dance floor.
727
00:37:37,625 --> 00:37:39,541
[laughing]
728
00:37:39,625 --> 00:37:41,250
A woman ready to take wing.
729
00:37:41,750 --> 00:37:43,791
I think she's already on her way.
730
00:37:44,791 --> 00:37:46,041
A happy story.
731
00:37:46,125 --> 00:37:48,333
Except that he's off to war.
732
00:37:48,833 --> 00:37:50,458
Which is tomorrow's work.
733
00:37:51,041 --> 00:37:52,500
And I'll need your help.
734
00:37:55,125 --> 00:37:56,666
I'll wait here till you're in.
735
00:37:57,750 --> 00:37:59,666
I'll be fine. Thank you.
736
00:38:02,583 --> 00:38:03,500
Goodnight.
737
00:38:09,583 --> 00:38:12,208
[typewriter clacking]
738
00:38:12,875 --> 00:38:14,458
[Hester] Writing sample number five,
739
00:38:14,541 --> 00:38:17,166
standard blue-black,
in leather wallet, in pocket
740
00:38:17,250 --> 00:38:18,916
soaked overnight in seawater.
741
00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:20,166
Seawater from?
742
00:38:21,666 --> 00:38:22,875
It does matter, Hester.
743
00:38:22,958 --> 00:38:25,625
Disposal shut down the road
in all directions.
744
00:38:26,083 --> 00:38:28,708
A child found
an unexploded firebomb in her garden.
745
00:38:28,791 --> 00:38:30,125
Oh, dear God.
746
00:38:30,625 --> 00:38:32,000
No word from Bletchley?
747
00:38:32,083 --> 00:38:35,750
Nazi command still expects us
to launch a naval assault on Europe.
748
00:38:35,833 --> 00:38:38,541
They suspect a massive deception
operation is underway.
749
00:38:39,041 --> 00:38:41,875
They still believe Sicily
will be the target.
750
00:38:42,458 --> 00:38:45,083
So, two months of work
and we've managed to deceive the enemy
751
00:38:45,166 --> 00:38:46,958
of precisely nothing.
752
00:38:47,041 --> 00:38:50,916
The one bright spot is I found
a hydrographer. I'm meeting him now.
753
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:53,083
Well, I hope it's not
Hespers from Naval Operations.
754
00:38:53,166 --> 00:38:55,333
The man is an incorrigible skirt chaser.
755
00:38:55,416 --> 00:38:56,791
My skirt can defend itself,
756
00:38:56,875 --> 00:38:59,250
but I could use your expertise, Commander.
757
00:38:59,333 --> 00:39:00,791
-[laughs]
-[Ewen] Very well.
758
00:39:01,375 --> 00:39:03,166
[phone rings]
759
00:39:05,208 --> 00:39:06,083
Room 13.
760
00:39:06,166 --> 00:39:07,416
That is his rank,
761
00:39:08,750 --> 00:39:10,125
Lieutenant Commander.
762
00:39:10,208 --> 00:39:14,291
Of course. They were just less… formal
when I saw them a few weeks ago
763
00:39:14,958 --> 00:39:16,208
dancing at Rainbow Corner.
764
00:39:16,291 --> 00:39:19,666
-[woman 1] I saw them a few rows back…
-Lieutenant, Admiral Godfrey.

[woman 2] Joseph Cotton plays
an American engineer hiding in Anatolia.
766
00:39:22,500 --> 00:39:23,333
[phone rings]
767
00:39:24,041 --> 00:39:27,041
-Admiral.
-So, where are we with Mincemeat?
768
00:39:27,125 --> 00:39:29,000
[Charles] We're on a solid footing, sir.
769
00:39:29,625 --> 00:39:31,458
Yes, Major Martin is as real as you or I.
770
00:39:31,541 --> 00:39:33,166
He has hobbies,
771
00:39:33,250 --> 00:39:35,666
debts, a girl. They're-- They're to marry.
We have a ring, ha.
772
00:39:35,750 --> 00:39:36,583
Touching.
773
00:39:36,666 --> 00:39:39,041
We believe Major Martin
should be delivered by submarine
774
00:39:39,125 --> 00:39:41,250
rather than air-dropping
and risk dismemberment.
775
00:39:41,333 --> 00:39:44,375
And we are convinced that Spain is
still the best place to float him ashore,
776
00:39:44,875 --> 00:39:47,541
given the fascists' network there
and Spain's neutrality.
777
00:39:48,041 --> 00:39:51,041
And we believe
the plan is ready to present, sir,
778
00:39:51,125 --> 00:39:52,458
to the prime minister.
779
00:39:52,958 --> 00:39:53,958
I agree.
780
00:39:55,875 --> 00:39:56,708
You--
781
00:39:58,041 --> 00:39:59,958
Well, that's, uh, that's excellent news.
782
00:40:00,041 --> 00:40:02,083
I'll present it to
Churchill this afternoon.
783
00:40:02,875 --> 00:40:05,125
-I'll need a brief.
-Well, we've prepared one for you, sir.
784
00:40:05,208 --> 00:40:06,333
You'll be more than ready.
785
00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:10,125
And your partnership with Montagu. Please.
786
00:40:11,625 --> 00:40:12,958
How has that fared?
787
00:40:15,291 --> 00:40:16,958
Nothing short of first-rate, sir.
788
00:40:19,041 --> 00:40:21,416
Montagu and I think with one mind. We, um,
789
00:40:21,916 --> 00:40:23,416
we've developed a shorthand.
790
00:40:23,916 --> 00:40:25,250
Become good friends.
791
00:40:25,333 --> 00:40:27,458
Huh, So you've
met his brother, then? Ivor.
792
00:40:27,541 --> 00:40:29,625
No, no. Montagu rarely speaks of him.
793
00:40:31,041 --> 00:40:33,708
[inhales] Are you aware
he's a Communist sympathizer?
794
00:40:36,250 --> 00:40:39,166
Montagu's brother? That's absurd.
795
00:40:39,250 --> 00:40:41,458
[Godfrey] Our intelligence
suggests otherwise.
796
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:45,583
Why would our intelligence
be watching Ivor Montagu?
797
00:40:49,625 --> 00:40:53,500
[inhales] Whatever Ivor may or may not be,
798
00:40:54,916 --> 00:40:56,291
his brother would be unaware of it.
799
00:40:58,166 --> 00:41:01,041
It's always sound policy
to keep one's ear to the ground,
800
00:41:01,125 --> 00:41:02,125
don't you think?
801
00:41:06,250 --> 00:41:07,166
[Godfrey] Thank you.
802
00:41:09,458 --> 00:41:12,041
I shall look forward to good news
from the prime minister, sir.
803
00:41:15,083 --> 00:41:18,625
I only mention it because Charles
asked me out to dinner tonight.
804
00:41:18,708 --> 00:41:20,416
Did you invite him to join us?
805
00:41:20,500 --> 00:41:22,208
I didn't say I was going with you.
806
00:41:22,291 --> 00:41:24,333
I sense he'd be upset somehow.
807
00:41:24,416 --> 00:41:26,833
[Ewen] That's silly.
The man's not a child.
808
00:41:26,916 --> 00:41:28,666
Oh, I almost forgot.
809
00:41:30,625 --> 00:41:31,583
What do you think?
810
00:41:32,250 --> 00:41:33,250
It's beautiful.
811
00:41:33,750 --> 00:41:35,708
Charles and I
ducked out at lunch yesterday.
812
00:41:35,791 --> 00:41:38,541
He preferred the round cut,
but I prevailed with the marquise.
813
00:41:39,333 --> 00:41:40,250
Let's see it on.
814
00:41:46,916 --> 00:41:49,500
The only place
this belongs is in the safe.
815
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:51,000
Admiralty property.
816
00:41:51,083 --> 00:41:52,416
Yes, of course.
817
00:41:53,416 --> 00:41:54,583
You think Pam will like it?
818
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,083
I think she might.
819
00:41:59,291 --> 00:42:01,291
[pensive music playing]
820
00:42:03,291 --> 00:42:05,291
[indistinct chatter]
821
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,458
[Charles] This should be in the safe.
822
00:42:11,458 --> 00:42:13,916
Yes, I was about to put it back.
823
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:15,666
I wanted to show it to Jean.
824
00:42:16,708 --> 00:42:18,041
You gave it to Jean?
825
00:42:18,125 --> 00:42:19,875
I showed it to her.
826
00:42:20,458 --> 00:42:22,125
I wanted to see what she thought of it.
827
00:42:22,833 --> 00:42:24,583
If you're so concerned,
stow it away yourself.
828
00:42:24,666 --> 00:42:28,083
In matters of protocol,
it seems bad practice,
829
00:42:28,583 --> 00:42:31,791
sloppy even,
for us to be going off as separate pairs.
830
00:42:31,875 --> 00:42:33,208
Like you and Godfrey.
831
00:42:33,833 --> 00:42:35,708
He called you in alone just now,
didn't he?
832
00:42:35,791 --> 00:42:36,958
Why was that?
833
00:42:37,458 --> 00:42:38,833
Godfrey is only happy when he's
834
00:42:38,916 --> 00:42:40,958
stirring up suspicion and discord,
as you well know.
835
00:42:41,041 --> 00:42:42,958
-[Hester] Room 13.
-[phone ringing]
836
00:42:43,041 --> 00:42:44,333
Bentley Purchase for you.
837
00:42:45,916 --> 00:42:47,166
Yes, Bentley, what is it?
838
00:42:48,041 --> 00:42:49,833
[Bentley] We've had an unexpected visitor.
839
00:42:51,750 --> 00:42:54,333
Ms. Michael heard of
her brother's passing from
840
00:42:54,833 --> 00:42:56,083
Stafford Hospital.
841
00:42:56,708 --> 00:43:00,125
A kindly nurse who cared for him then
took it upon herself to find his kin.
842
00:43:01,166 --> 00:43:02,166
God bless her.
843
00:43:05,083 --> 00:43:09,375
-Please accept our deepest--
-We only had each other… you know?
844
00:43:11,541 --> 00:43:13,541
He needed looking after, Glynnie.
845
00:43:14,666 --> 00:43:17,000
[inhales] But I let him go to London.
846
00:43:17,083 --> 00:43:18,750
[rain pattering outside]
847
00:43:18,833 --> 00:43:19,750
And then I…

00:43:22,291 --> 00:43:23,291
[sobs]
849
00:43:23,791 --> 00:43:24,875

00:43:30,250 --> 00:43:33,125
-It's called wallet litter, sir.
-Yes, I know what it is.
853
00:43:33,208 --> 00:43:34,500
But it's the letters in the case
854
00:43:34,583 --> 00:43:36,291
that are key to this deception,
are they not?
855
00:43:36,375 --> 00:43:37,208
They are.
856
00:43:38,125 --> 00:43:39,375
Military correspondence
857
00:43:40,208 --> 00:43:42,375
indicating that we will invade Greece
858
00:43:43,041 --> 00:43:44,833
while hinting
that our cover plan is Sicily.
859
00:43:44,916 --> 00:43:45,750
Yes.
860
00:43:46,500 --> 00:43:48,458
The brief contains
details of the correspondence.
861
00:43:48,541 --> 00:43:51,708
What happens when the ink
washes off as the letter bobs in the sea?
862
00:43:52,541 --> 00:43:54,666
They need to use waterproof ink.
863
00:43:54,750 --> 00:43:57,583
Only someone planning to drown
writes in waterproof ink.
864
00:43:58,750 --> 00:43:59,583
Yes,
865
00:43:59,666 --> 00:44:00,791
that's true. But, uh--
866
00:44:00,875 --> 00:44:03,541
A detail your men clearly understand
as they state here that,
867
00:44:04,041 --> 00:44:07,875
"Further testing of undetectable
waterproof inks remains to be done."
868
00:44:08,375 --> 00:44:09,416
[makes kiss sounds]
869
00:44:10,208 --> 00:44:12,541
Yes, good boy.
[makes kissing sounds] Come on.
870
00:44:13,708 --> 00:44:16,250
Given how little you
appreciate of this plan, Admiral,
871
00:44:16,750 --> 00:44:18,916
Rufus and I wonder
why you're endorsing it at all.
872
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:21,458
I am not endorsing it, Prime Minister.
873
00:44:22,416 --> 00:44:25,416
My advice is that Mincemeat is killed
before it sees the light of day.
874
00:44:26,458 --> 00:44:28,666
Our other deception plans are strategies
875
00:44:29,166 --> 00:44:31,500
designed to confuse the enemy,
throw him off balance.
876
00:44:31,583 --> 00:44:33,625
Mincemeat, on the other hand,
is an outright lie.
877
00:44:33,708 --> 00:44:37,375
A lie that, if detected, would expose
every single other deception as false.
878
00:44:37,458 --> 00:44:40,208
The Germans would know
unequivocally we were landing in Sicily.
879
00:44:40,291 --> 00:44:41,541
I think that's too big a risk.
880
00:44:42,333 --> 00:44:45,583
Nonetheless, I would like to
keep Mincemeat running a little longer.
881
00:44:46,083 --> 00:44:50,375
It may yield intelligence on Ivor Montagu,
whom we suspect is a Russian spy.
882
00:44:50,458 --> 00:44:54,750
You will put the fate of one Russian spy
over tens of thousands in Sicily?
883
00:44:54,833 --> 00:44:57,875
With respect, Prime Minister,
I'm trying to look at the bigger picture.
884
00:44:58,375 --> 00:45:00,375
Russia may be our ally at the moment,
885
00:45:00,458 --> 00:45:02,500
but she was until recently
in a pact with Germany.
886
00:45:03,083 --> 00:45:05,583
I believe she will soon
be our enemy again.
887
00:45:05,666 --> 00:45:08,083
If Ivor Montagu is spying for Moscow,
888
00:45:08,833 --> 00:45:12,125
he can be turned,
or if necessary, eliminated.
889
00:45:12,208 --> 00:45:14,791
This is the problem
when one is dealing with spooks.
890
00:45:15,375 --> 00:45:16,375
You do see it.
891
00:45:16,875 --> 00:45:18,583
The corkscrew thinking required
892
00:45:18,666 --> 00:45:21,875
to manage spies
sometimes twists one too many turns
893
00:45:22,625 --> 00:45:25,041
until one finds oneself charging forward
894
00:45:25,125 --> 00:45:27,583
while at the same time
looking out of one's own ass.
895
00:45:27,666 --> 00:45:30,375
I assume you're referring to me.
896
00:45:30,458 --> 00:45:32,125
Russia is tomorrow's war.
897
00:45:33,666 --> 00:45:35,666
The Nazis are expecting a deception,
898
00:45:36,458 --> 00:45:39,375
which means that our effort
must be unbelievable enough
899
00:45:39,458 --> 00:45:40,541
to make it believable.
900
00:45:40,625 --> 00:45:43,500
The plan is risky.
It's also highly implausible.
901
00:45:44,416 --> 00:45:46,208
Meaning that all the reasons
it shouldn't work
902
00:45:46,291 --> 00:45:48,833
are the same reasons
the Germans might believe it's true.
903
00:45:48,916 --> 00:45:50,250
So, when can it be ready?
904
00:45:50,333 --> 00:45:51,166
Uh…
905
00:45:52,041 --> 00:45:53,500
-Immediately?
-Correct.
906
00:45:54,041 --> 00:45:55,375
Gather your resources.
907
00:45:55,875 --> 00:45:58,083
Put Mincemeat in the works as of now.
908
00:45:58,583 --> 00:45:59,750
[Godfrey] Of course, sir.
909
00:46:06,750 --> 00:46:08,750
Do you think we can get him buried soon?
910
00:46:09,916 --> 00:46:12,500
But-- Not that anyone's
waiting for me at home,
911
00:46:12,583 --> 00:46:14,750
but a simple service might be nice.
912
00:46:14,833 --> 00:46:17,291
The truth is Glyndwr is employed now.
913
00:46:19,500 --> 00:46:21,875
-Employed?
-In the service of his country.
914
00:46:23,916 --> 00:46:24,833
He's not dead?
915
00:46:24,916 --> 00:46:26,708
[Charles] He is engaged in a
916
00:46:27,291 --> 00:46:28,875
top-secret mission.
917
00:46:28,958 --> 00:46:30,708
As what?
918
00:46:32,291 --> 00:46:34,416
You do know that Glynnie
was never right in the head.
919
00:46:34,500 --> 00:46:35,958
Well, that
920
00:46:36,708 --> 00:46:38,500
may be your experience of
921
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Glyndwr, but, um, [clicks tongue]
922
00:46:41,500 --> 00:46:42,916
people are often
923
00:46:43,541 --> 00:46:45,041
one way with family, a…
924
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:47,916
different way entirely out in the world.
925
00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:50,041
One minute Jekyll, the next, Hyde.
926
00:46:50,541 --> 00:46:51,416
[inhales] Where is he?
927
00:46:51,500 --> 00:46:53,208
We have Churchill's approval.
928
00:46:55,500 --> 00:46:57,083
As you just heard, Ms. Michael,
929
00:46:57,666 --> 00:47:00,500
the prime minister has approved
the plan to make your brother a hero.
930
00:47:01,333 --> 00:47:04,375
We, we do understand
that this is the most enormous sacrifice.
931
00:47:05,083 --> 00:47:07,916
But his service, he-- he can save
932
00:47:08,416 --> 00:47:10,750
literally thousands,
tens of thousands of lives.
933
00:47:10,833 --> 00:47:12,208
What did you do to him?
934
00:47:13,125 --> 00:47:15,625
Did you carve him up for experiments
935
00:47:16,125 --> 00:47:17,000
or rations?
936
00:47:17,500 --> 00:47:20,833
[inhales] Maybe you should tell the police
about what you did to my brother.
937
00:47:20,916 --> 00:47:24,041
Ms. Michael,
in acknowledgment of his service
938
00:47:24,833 --> 00:47:28,791
and empowered by his Majesty's
government and by Glyndwr himself,
939
00:47:29,291 --> 00:47:31,333
it is my honor to offer you this
940
00:47:32,083 --> 00:47:33,541
generous remuneration.
941
00:47:34,583 --> 00:47:37,041
-You're bribing me.
-Your brother is going to war.
942
00:47:38,250 --> 00:47:40,291
He's trying to do
the right thing for his country.
943
00:47:40,375 --> 00:47:44,125
His country is trying to do
the right thing by you.
944
00:47:44,208 --> 00:47:45,458
Please.
945
00:47:46,375 --> 00:47:47,958
[intense music playing]
946
00:47:48,916 --> 00:47:53,166
May Glynnie's poor
suffering soul rest in peace.
947
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:55,875
No thanks to you.
948
00:47:58,083 --> 00:48:00,333
[music intensifies]
949
00:48:01,291 --> 00:48:02,541
May God forgive us all.
950
00:48:05,291 --> 00:48:06,583
[Ainsworth] I miss Spain already.
951
00:48:06,666 --> 00:48:09,125
There's a reason we stay
as far from headquarters as possible.
952
00:48:09,208 --> 00:48:11,291
Yes, we envy you daily.
953
00:48:11,375 --> 00:48:13,125
[Ian] I must congratulate you, if I may,
954
00:48:13,208 --> 00:48:15,416
Captain Ainsworth, on The Night Starling.
955
00:48:15,500 --> 00:48:17,291
I grabbed a copy at Hatchards yesterday.
956
00:48:17,375 --> 00:48:18,791
I have not been able to put it down.
957
00:48:18,875 --> 00:48:21,291
My God, who isn't writing a novel?
958
00:48:21,375 --> 00:48:26,458
Admiral, our naval attaché in Madrid,
Captain Ainsworth, is here today.
959
00:48:27,041 --> 00:48:30,333
And this is assistant naval attaché,
also from Madrid,
960
00:48:30,416 --> 00:48:31,708
Lieutenant Commander Gomez-Beare.
961
00:48:31,791 --> 00:48:33,125
Captain. Commander.
962
00:48:33,708 --> 00:48:35,541
Good to know
we can still reel you gentlemen in
963
00:48:35,625 --> 00:48:37,250
from our far-flung outposts.
964
00:48:37,333 --> 00:48:40,416
Montagu and Cholmondeley
will run the briefing today.
965
00:48:40,500 --> 00:48:44,208
The operation is theirs, and being theirs,
is now theirs to fuck up.
966
00:48:47,083 --> 00:48:48,791
[Gomez-Beare] Quite a vote of confidence.
967
00:48:50,333 --> 00:48:54,416
[Ewen] Our story begins
in the Spanish fishing port of Huelva
968
00:48:54,500 --> 00:48:55,833
on the Gulf of Cadiz,
969
00:48:55,916 --> 00:48:58,000
where Major William Martin,
970
00:48:58,083 --> 00:49:00,916
a British officer
bearing classified letters,
971
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:05,333
will wash up on shore
after his plane has been tragically lost.
972
00:49:06,250 --> 00:49:09,041
The officer is not an officer.
The papers are false.
973
00:49:09,541 --> 00:49:11,750
The plane crash will not have occurred.
974
00:49:12,250 --> 00:49:15,500
Instead, we will release
our man from a submarine
975
00:49:16,291 --> 00:49:17,750
in order to exploit
976
00:49:17,833 --> 00:49:20,083
the Nazi spy trail,
which begins in Huelva,
977
00:49:20,166 --> 00:49:21,958
Don Gomez-Beare's territory,
978
00:49:22,041 --> 00:49:24,833
and then moves to Madrid,
Captain Ainsworth's turf,
979
00:49:24,916 --> 00:49:27,791
and ends in the heart
of German intelligence,
980
00:49:27,875 --> 00:49:29,750
the Abwehr in Berlin.
981
00:49:30,250 --> 00:49:33,416
We will need to move
these fake documents quickly
982
00:49:33,500 --> 00:49:36,125
with the help
of two key German operatives,
983
00:49:36,208 --> 00:49:38,500
Karl Kuhlenthal in Madrid
984
00:49:38,583 --> 00:49:41,791
and his right-hand man
in Huelva, Adolf Clauss.
985
00:49:41,875 --> 00:49:44,208
Clauss is an exceptional spy,
986
00:49:44,291 --> 00:49:46,625
and if a body
washes up in Huelva with papers,
987
00:49:46,708 --> 00:49:49,291
Adolf Clauss
will get his hands on those papers.
988
00:49:49,791 --> 00:49:53,500
Clauss reports
to Karl Kuhlenthal in Madrid,
989
00:49:53,583 --> 00:49:56,208
where Kuhlenthal is seen
as a golden boy by the Abwehr.
990
00:49:56,291 --> 00:50:00,916
But MI5 have found Kuhlenthal
to be a one-man espionage disaster.
991
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:04,125
Gullible, incompetent,
and he happens to be one-quarter Jewish,
992
00:50:04,708 --> 00:50:08,375
where under Hitler's regime,
even a drop of Jewish blood means death.
993
00:50:08,875 --> 00:50:09,958
[speaking German]
994
00:50:10,041 --> 00:50:14,208
[Ewen] Although luckily for Kuhlenthal,
he was recently cleared as a good German.
995
00:50:14,708 --> 00:50:16,958
But he is now desperate
to impress his superiors
996
00:50:17,041 --> 00:50:20,041
before Berlin remembers
that he is Jewish after all.
997
00:50:20,125 --> 00:50:22,875
So, we need Clauss
because he is a good spy
998
00:50:22,958 --> 00:50:27,166
and will get the papers,
Kuhlenthal because he is a bad one
999
00:50:27,250 --> 00:50:28,833
and will believe them.
1000
00:50:29,333 --> 00:50:32,666
Together, they ensure the best chance
that our documents will land in Berlin.
1001
00:50:32,750 --> 00:50:35,458
Where success
depends on another key figure,
1002
00:50:35,958 --> 00:50:40,375
Hitler's favorite adviser,
Colonel Alexis von Roenne.
1003
00:50:41,125 --> 00:50:44,458
Von Roenne controls military
intelligence at Nazi High Command,
1004
00:50:44,541 --> 00:50:47,500
and Hitler will not believe anything
without Von Roenne's blessing,
1005
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,375
which is a challenge for us
because Von Roenne is brilliant.
1006
00:50:51,458 --> 00:50:52,750
A real spy's spy.
1007
00:50:53,500 --> 00:50:56,750
-Though, there have been rumors…
-And at this point, only rumors.
1008
00:50:56,833 --> 00:50:58,958
…that Von Roenne
has turned against the Fuhrer,
1009
00:50:59,750 --> 00:51:02,458
and that he
and a group of anti-Nazi plotters
1010
00:51:02,541 --> 00:51:05,250
are trying to destroy
the Nazi war machine from within.
1011
00:51:05,750 --> 00:51:09,083
We've heard rumblings
of this anti-Hitler faction before.
1012
00:51:09,708 --> 00:51:13,208
We judge it to be a ruse
to infiltrate our inner circle,
1013
00:51:13,291 --> 00:51:14,875
so we will proceed as planned.
1014
00:51:14,958 --> 00:51:18,583
The prime minister wants all resources
employed to make Mincemeat so convincing
1015
00:51:18,666 --> 00:51:22,291
that Von Roenne believes it,
Hitler believes it, and even we believe
1016
00:51:22,791 --> 00:51:24,500
we are landing in Greece.
1017
00:51:24,583 --> 00:51:27,916
To that end, we are preparing
the fake documents for the briefcase now.
1018
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:28,916
[typewriter clacking]
1019
00:51:29,000 --> 00:51:33,375
The key one being an off-the-record letter
between Generals Nye and Alexander,
1020
00:51:33,458 --> 00:51:37,166
and in that letter,
the lie about Greece is planted.
1021
00:51:37,791 --> 00:51:40,458
Of course we'll get
our letter approved tomorrow,
1022
00:51:40,541 --> 00:51:43,666
but you simply must sit on Q Branch
1023
00:51:44,541 --> 00:51:47,333
to deliver our canister,
and then on to the submarine.
1024
00:51:48,958 --> 00:51:52,625
-Dear God, what about the submarine?
-"How are you getting on with Eisenhower?"
1025
00:51:52,708 --> 00:51:55,791
Cut and dried.
The letter must have a natural tone.
1026
00:51:55,875 --> 00:51:57,958
"Hope all is well.
The General sends his best."
1027

Hmm, can't have them
cackling like two hens.

are old friends.

I've had letters
from the bank manager with more zing.
1030
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:06,125
It's a first draft.
1031
00:52:07,125 --> 00:52:10,958
And we can't allow personal flourishes
to distract from the military
1032
00:52:11,041 --> 00:52:13,000
misinformation we need Hitler to swallow.
1033
00:52:13,083 --> 00:52:15,208
No, unless we want to
bore him to death first.
1034
00:52:16,166 --> 00:52:19,375
And now, Hester has asked me
if she can write the love letter
1035
00:52:19,458 --> 00:52:21,250
we're putting in Major Martin's pocket.
1036
00:52:21,333 --> 00:52:24,375
She should write it and then
submit it to your withering gaze.

-The American?
-Yes.
1040
00:52:32,791 --> 00:52:34,125
I think she's moved on.
1041
00:52:34,208 --> 00:52:35,583
Did she tell you that?
1042
00:52:36,833 --> 00:52:39,333
You do see Jean outside of work,
don't you?
1043
00:52:39,416 --> 00:52:43,291
We will occasionally work over dinner
to iron out Bill-and-Pam details
1044
00:52:43,375 --> 00:52:45,125
for verisimilitude's sake.
1045

Verisimilitude.
1046
00:52:46,791 --> 00:52:48,375
For instance, tonight,
1047
00:52:49,041 --> 00:52:51,166
we are placing the ticket stubs
1048

the receipt for Pam's ring

His breast pocket
is where he keeps her photograph.

Sorry we're late.

00:53:02,458 --> 00:53:03,916
It's bedlam out there!
1054

It's true. We're all like moles now,
scurrying around in the dark.

So, what I'm asking, Lieutenant Jewell,
1092
00:54:49,500 --> 00:54:52,875
is whether or not your submarine
could accommodate a 6-foot thermos?
1093
00:54:52,958 --> 00:54:54,625
Well, technically, I suppose.
1094
00:54:55,125 --> 00:54:58,541
But my crew on the Seraph are a sharp lot.
What would I tell them?
1095
00:54:58,625 --> 00:55:01,916
Tell them it contains a top-secret
meteorological reporting apparatus.
1096
00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:03,291
Sounds like the stuff of fiction.
1097
00:55:03,375 --> 00:55:05,375
You're not a writer as well, are you?
1098

"Please ask your ADC

1102
00:55:18,583 --> 00:55:21,208
General Nye can't be
made to sound like a scrounger,
1103
00:55:21,291 --> 00:55:23,250
even to the Germans.
Especially to the Germans.
1104
00:55:23,333 --> 00:55:25,541
[Ewen] But he does need
to sound like a human,
1105
00:55:25,625 --> 00:55:28,250
which is what I have
rather artfully achieved.
1106

Millions of lives are at stake.
1107
00:55:30,666 --> 00:55:32,958
The letter will be revised
until everyone is satisfied.

-Fourteen.

Jewell can hold the submarine

You know the irony
of this preposterous stalemate
1116
00:55:52,666 --> 00:55:55,208
is if Archie Nye were
composing this letter himself,
1117
00:55:55,291 --> 00:55:58,541
he'd write it any damn way… he pleased.

It's dull as ditchwater.
1120
00:56:07,833 --> 00:56:11,458
General Nye is dull as ditchwater,
which is why a charmless and
1121
00:56:11,541 --> 00:56:13,708
utterly boring letter is perfect.
1122
00:56:14,208 --> 00:56:17,666
And the general was only too happy
to put pen to paper once I asked.
1123
00:56:18,166 --> 00:56:19,625
Far be it for me to point out,
1124
00:56:19,708 --> 00:56:22,791
but his version is a near carbon copy
of my very first draft.
1125
00:56:23,291 --> 00:56:26,375
There is a chain of command,
and for you to go directly to Nye--
1126
00:56:26,458 --> 00:56:29,208
Whatever punishment you deem fit, sir,
I will fully accept.

Although General Nye did ask
why we hadn't come to him straight away.

only two weeks away, and the only window
1131

where we have access to the Seraph.

with the chain of command,
1133
00:56:47,291 --> 00:56:49,916

grant us approval to proceed.

Now, we could send Ewen to America
to be with his wife and children.
1188
01:00:41,666 --> 01:00:43,875
Might make it easier
to keep an eye on his brother.
1189
01:00:44,583 --> 01:00:46,666
You'll get the credit for Mincemeat,
should it succeed.
1190
01:00:46,750 --> 01:00:48,416
It was your idea, after all.
1191
01:00:49,625 --> 01:00:50,500
Or,
1192
01:00:51,333 --> 01:00:52,791
we could keep him here.
1193
01:00:53,625 --> 01:00:56,875
You are asking me
to spy on a man I work beside every day.
1194
01:00:57,375 --> 01:01:00,333
I'm asking you
to assess the danger to your country.
1195
01:01:02,458 --> 01:01:04,625
You also have a brother, don't you?
1196
01:01:04,708 --> 01:01:07,583
Had a brother. Fallen in Chittagong.
1197
01:01:07,666 --> 01:01:10,833
Hmm. And your mother is desperate
to have his body brought home.
1198
01:01:11,833 --> 01:01:14,000
[somber piano music playing]
1199
01:01:14,083 --> 01:01:17,625
I've knocked on many doors, but…
so far, nothing.
1200
01:01:19,416 --> 01:01:20,250
Until now.
1201
01:01:23,708 --> 01:01:26,083
[flashbulbs popping]
1202
01:01:26,708 --> 01:01:27,833
Fold the letter,
1203
01:01:28,416 --> 01:01:30,541
but each fold only once.
1204
01:01:31,500 --> 01:01:34,583
Then we'll photograph the folds.
If the letter is returned,
1205
01:01:35,083 --> 01:01:37,708
the wear to the fibers will show
whether or not it's been opened.
1206
01:01:38,916 --> 01:01:41,250
Then the eyelash idea,
which is a good one.
1207
01:01:41,333 --> 01:01:42,791
What eyelash idea?
1208
01:01:42,875 --> 01:01:44,750
We place an eyelash in the fold.
1209
01:01:45,250 --> 01:01:48,708
If the lash is gone upon return, well,
it's another sign the letter's been read.
1210
01:01:50,291 --> 01:01:53,541
[Ewen] The bigger worry is ensuring
that the letter arrives in Berlin.
1211
01:01:53,625 --> 01:01:55,250
[flashbulbs popping]
1212
01:01:55,333 --> 01:01:57,500
If it lands with the Spanish Navy,
there's a good chance
1213
01:01:57,583 --> 01:02:00,083
they could return it to us
unopened and unread.
1214
01:02:00,166 --> 01:02:02,166
That's if the letter arrives
in Spain at all.
1215
01:02:03,250 --> 01:02:04,500
It's a big sea.
1216
01:02:04,583 --> 01:02:07,166
Many detours await one little briefcase.
1217
01:02:09,041 --> 01:02:10,125
Pam's letter?
1218
01:02:13,041 --> 01:02:14,500
New love, so…
1219
01:02:16,041 --> 01:02:18,375
handled, worn.
1220
01:02:20,000 --> 01:02:21,125
And the photograph?
1221
01:02:27,750 --> 01:02:29,041
And the briefcase?
1222

[piano music continues]
1223
01:02:45,041 --> 01:02:46,875
Let's slide him in and seal him up.
1224
01:02:58,708 --> 01:03:00,750
He doesn't look like a driver for MI5.
1225
01:03:01,250 --> 01:03:03,000
Looks like Errol Flynn.
1226
01:03:03,083 --> 01:03:05,583
And what drink is he on, his fifth?
1227
01:03:05,666 --> 01:03:06,708
[Hester] Sixth, I think.
1228
01:03:06,791 --> 01:03:09,375
Last round, Teddy,
and then we really must cut him off.
1229
01:03:09,458 --> 01:03:11,916
[Hester] It'll be
an interesting drive to Scotland.
1230
01:03:13,166 --> 01:03:15,416
You should give Jock Horsfall a wink.
1231
01:03:15,916 --> 01:03:18,208
He may be pickled, but he's also single.
1232
01:03:18,708 --> 01:03:20,708
Except, you're seeing Roger.
1233
01:03:22,041 --> 01:03:24,458
No, I haven't seen much of Roger,
1234
01:03:24,541 --> 01:03:26,291
[hesitates] now we're so busy.
1235
01:03:27,291 --> 01:03:29,833
-We were just friends.
-Ah, oh well.
1236
01:03:30,500 --> 01:03:31,541
His loss.
1237
01:03:32,541 --> 01:03:33,541
See you tomorrow.
1238
01:03:42,250 --> 01:03:43,375
[Ewen] So, Jock,
1239
01:03:43,458 --> 01:03:46,000
how many times
have you made the trip to Holy Loch?
1240
01:03:46,083 --> 01:03:48,083
Oh, I can do it with my eyes closed.
1241
01:03:48,625 --> 01:03:52,333
I sometimes have to if my
astigmatism is playing up. [chuckles]
1242
01:03:52,416 --> 01:03:54,333
But dead of night's a jolly time to drive,
1243
01:03:54,416 --> 01:03:59,000
and you'll have my van. Customized V8.
She can run upwards of 125 miles per hour.
1244
01:03:59,083 --> 01:04:00,625
I was there, you know, when you thrashed
1245
01:04:00,708 --> 01:04:02,791
those six BMWs at Donington Park.
1246
01:04:03,291 --> 01:04:04,916
That was my Black Car.
1247
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:08,416
MI5 made me garage her
1248
01:04:08,916 --> 01:04:11,416
now that I'm an official chauffeur.
1249
01:04:12,416 --> 01:04:14,250
They say she's a menace on the road.
1250
01:04:17,125 --> 01:04:19,083
But I do miss her. [sighs]
1251
01:04:19,166 --> 01:04:21,875
[sobs]
1252
01:04:23,166 --> 01:04:25,041
[jazz playing]
1253
01:04:25,125 --> 01:04:26,250
I'll give you a moment.
1254
01:04:29,375 --> 01:04:33,750
[sniffs] So, this tin can of yours.
What's in it?
1255
01:04:34,333 --> 01:04:36,583
Hmm? Oh, optical equipment.
1256
01:04:36,666 --> 01:04:37,500
Bollocks.
1257
01:04:39,041 --> 01:04:41,333
Do you know how high my clearance goes?
1258
01:04:42,333 --> 01:04:43,291
It's a dead body.
1259
01:04:44,791 --> 01:04:47,333
We're going to play
a humiliating trick on Hitler.
1260

[laughs]
1261
01:04:52,416 --> 01:04:55,916
-Is he even capable of driving now?
-I fear we're about to find out.
1262
01:04:57,791 --> 01:04:58,916
Anyway, um,
1263
01:04:59,541 --> 01:05:01,750
since it's Major Martin's last night.
1264
01:05:04,875 --> 01:05:06,875

[Jock humming, scatting to melody]
1266
01:05:21,916 --> 01:05:26,291
Seems strange, doesn't it?
Sending our dear Major off to die?
1267
01:05:26,833 --> 01:05:28,916
You do know he's already dead. [chuckles]
1268
01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,416
In a way, yes, but in another,
he's very much alive,
1269
01:05:32,500 --> 01:05:34,500
our clever, dashing man.
1270
01:05:35,333 --> 01:05:37,833
Which is why I'd like
to thank you, Charles.
1271
01:05:37,916 --> 01:05:39,750
It's been a grand adventure.
1272
01:05:40,250 --> 01:05:41,291
For the two of you.
1273
01:05:42,500 --> 01:05:43,791
For all of us.
1274
01:05:46,833 --> 01:05:48,666
We gave Bill a life.
1275
01:05:49,541 --> 01:05:51,833
One Glyndwr Michael never had.
1276
01:05:51,916 --> 01:05:53,500
We gave him Pam.
1277
01:05:57,166 --> 01:05:58,291
I wanted Pam.
1278
01:06:02,541 --> 01:06:03,583
I only mean
1279
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,708
that our imaginings
often surpass what is real, don't they?
1280
01:06:11,541 --> 01:06:14,000
I come home every night to a bereft mother
1281
01:06:14,083 --> 01:06:15,916
pining for her favorite son.
1282
01:06:16,541 --> 01:06:18,208
Hester lives the spinster's life,
1283
01:06:18,708 --> 01:06:21,000
working around the clock
rather than face an empty bed.
1284
01:06:22,708 --> 01:06:24,750
Ewen's real life is off in America,
1285
01:06:25,291 --> 01:06:27,666
where he must worry
about the safety of his wife and children
1286
01:06:27,750 --> 01:06:28,875
until they return.
1287
01:06:30,625 --> 01:06:32,166
Or did he not mention that to you?
1288
01:06:33,916 --> 01:06:36,500
He said something about America.
1289
01:06:41,583 --> 01:06:42,583
It's all a game
1290
01:06:43,083 --> 01:06:44,500
to him, you know?
1291
01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:46,250
You do know that.
1292
01:06:46,333 --> 01:06:47,166
All the
1293

1294
01:06:51,541 --> 01:06:52,833
Not that I blame him.
1295
01:06:53,750 --> 01:06:56,875
Who wouldn't want the attentions
of a beautiful woman? But, um…
1296
01:06:58,541 --> 01:07:02,666
There's even talk of Ewen
joining Iris and the children in America.
1297
01:07:03,458 --> 01:07:05,958
Family should be together during wartime,
1298
01:07:06,458 --> 01:07:07,666
don't you think?
1299
01:07:09,583 --> 01:07:12,458
I think I stepped on your toe.
1300
01:07:13,208 --> 01:07:15,375
Oh, well, at least it wasn't me for once.
1301
01:07:15,458 --> 01:07:17,583
Got such a busy day tomorrow. [sniffs]
1302
01:07:17,666 --> 01:07:19,000
I really must go.
1303
01:07:30,500 --> 01:07:31,333
Jean.
1304
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,583
-Jean, you're not leaving.
-I am, obviously.
1305
01:07:34,666 --> 01:07:35,500
But why?
1306
01:07:36,458 --> 01:07:37,958
Jean, what just happened?
1307
01:07:38,041 --> 01:07:42,875
I have been overcome
with embarrassment at my own stupidity.
1308
01:07:43,375 --> 01:07:46,208
This game we've been playing.
1309
01:07:46,708 --> 01:07:49,250
Bill and Pam, the young lovers,
as if you and I were--
1310
01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:52,375
as if this weren't a real war.
1311
01:07:54,125 --> 01:07:56,750
Do you not realize
people are talking about us?
1312
01:07:56,833 --> 01:07:58,083
Is this about gossip?
1313
01:07:59,208 --> 01:08:00,958
What-- what does it matter
what people say?
1314
01:08:01,041 --> 01:08:02,750
We both know there's
nothing going on here.
1315
01:08:05,416 --> 01:08:07,208
I don't-- I don't mean nothing, as in…
1316
01:08:10,125 --> 01:08:14,000
I left behind childish games
many years ago, Ewen.

The day I buried the man I loved.
1318
01:08:19,333 --> 01:08:22,333
And while my life
may not look like much to you,
1319
01:08:22,416 --> 01:08:25,375
I have made my way, alone
1320
01:08:25,958 --> 01:08:28,833
with the occasional
admirer to pass the time.
1321
01:08:31,041 --> 01:08:32,375
It's certainly easier
1322
01:08:33,750 --> 01:08:34,625
and safer.
1323
01:08:35,291 --> 01:08:36,125
So…
1324
01:08:39,291 --> 01:08:41,041
You'll be late for your drive,
1325
01:08:41,833 --> 01:08:43,041
and I'm going home.

And we'll have to feel our way along,
thanks to the blackout.

I saw you talking to Jean tonight.

What were you saying?
1333
01:09:10,458 --> 01:09:11,583
I was apologizing
1334
01:09:12,083 --> 01:09:13,250
for my dancing.
1335
01:09:17,666 --> 01:09:20,041

when you can't see it coming.

It's curious
1340
01:10:01,333 --> 01:10:02,416
about your brother.
1341
01:10:03,333 --> 01:10:04,208
My brother?
1342
01:10:05,500 --> 01:10:08,375
You never speak of him.
He does live with you, doesn't he?
1343
01:10:10,625 --> 01:10:11,708
He travels mostly.
1344
01:10:12,750 --> 01:10:15,125
Although, I'm not sure
why that's any of your business.
1345
01:10:16,208 --> 01:10:18,833
Or why you would
say something to upset Jean tonight.
1346

Godfrey thinks Ivor's a communist.

-[Charles] Godfrey brought him up.

Well, Godfrey despises eccentrics.

Aren't all spies eccentrics?

Table Tennis Federation in London.

And his trips to Moscow?

01:11:19,500 --> 01:11:20,583
{\an8}[Jewell] Down here!
1359
01:11:25,625 --> 01:11:26,666
Excellent timing!
1360
01:11:27,916 --> 01:11:29,291
Well ahead of schedule.
1361
01:11:30,333 --> 01:11:33,250
But then I'd expect nothing less
from his Majesty's finest.
1362
01:11:33,333 --> 01:11:34,333
Finest what?
1363
01:11:34,833 --> 01:11:37,750
I think my testicles dislodged
somewhere near Dumfries.
1364
01:11:37,833 --> 01:11:39,000
[Jock laughs]
1365
01:11:40,083 --> 01:11:41,708
And good news, Lieutenant.
1366
01:11:41,791 --> 01:11:43,625
I was able to honor your request.
1367
01:11:43,708 --> 01:11:46,166
Much appreciated.
I know it was last-minute. Thank you.
1368
01:11:46,250 --> 01:11:47,333
What request?
1369
01:11:47,833 --> 01:11:50,666
Jewell was good enough
to find me a bunk on the Seraph.
1370
01:11:50,750 --> 01:11:52,416
What do you mean "on the Seraph"?
1371
01:11:52,500 --> 01:11:55,666
Someone should accompany Major Martin
to his final resting place.
1372
01:11:55,750 --> 01:11:58,708
-That would be Spain.
-Yes, where the Seraph is headed.
1373
01:11:59,208 --> 01:12:00,500
Are you out of your mind?
1374
01:12:00,583 --> 01:12:02,708
We didn't get clearance
to go to Spain with him.
1375
01:12:02,791 --> 01:12:03,833
We didn't even discuss it.
1376
01:12:03,916 --> 01:12:07,958
Don't you think that one of us should show
some respect for a man who gave his life
1377
01:12:08,041 --> 01:12:10,625
and who now serves us
and his country so nobly?
1378
01:12:10,708 --> 01:12:11,958
If unwittingly.
1379
01:12:13,125 --> 01:12:15,916
Don't you think at least one of us
ought to do the right thing?
1380
01:12:22,875 --> 01:12:24,875
We're going straight through
back to London.
1381
01:12:25,375 --> 01:12:26,250
Now!
1382
01:12:27,541 --> 01:12:28,375
I'm driving.
1383
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,625
[doorbell ringing]
1384
01:13:03,333 --> 01:13:05,041
Do you know what time it is?
1385
01:13:05,708 --> 01:13:06,791
I just need a moment.
1386
01:13:08,083 --> 01:13:08,916
[sighs]
1387
01:13:09,541 --> 01:13:13,416
There's an apology I must make to you,
and then I promise I'll go.
1388
01:13:16,166 --> 01:13:17,791
I wasn't being honest with you
1389
01:13:18,791 --> 01:13:21,916
or even myself
when I said there's nothing between us.
1390
01:13:24,833 --> 01:13:26,541
In fact, the very opposite is true.
1391
01:13:29,375 --> 01:13:30,916
My life is complicated.
1392
01:13:32,666 --> 01:13:36,500
It's not an excuse
or a defense or anything, really.
1393
01:13:38,333 --> 01:13:39,500
Only to say…
1394
01:13:44,500 --> 01:13:46,541
that my feelings for you are real.
1395
01:13:49,458 --> 01:13:51,833
I should have
realized that a long time ago.
1396
01:13:52,916 --> 01:13:54,916
[emotional music playing]
1397
01:13:55,583 --> 01:13:58,333
And perhaps I might have spared you
the embarrassment of last night,
1398
01:13:59,833 --> 01:14:01,333
because if I in any way--
1399
01:14:01,416 --> 01:14:02,583
You didn't.
1400
01:14:04,083 --> 01:14:06,750
I know you have a wife and family.
1401
01:14:09,625 --> 01:14:10,458
I do.
1402
01:14:13,458 --> 01:14:14,833
And you and I,
1403
01:14:15,750 --> 01:14:16,916
we have a war to win.
1404
01:14:18,291 --> 01:14:21,958
Major Martin is in dangerous waters now.
1405
01:14:23,250 --> 01:14:24,708
He'll need us more than ever.
1406
01:14:30,250 --> 01:14:31,916
I hope you're able to sleep.
1407
01:14:37,416 --> 01:14:39,416
[somber music playing]
1408
01:15:00,666 --> 01:15:04,208
[sobbing]
1409
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:15,208
[typewriter clacking]
1410
01:15:20,583 --> 01:15:22,958
[typewriter clacking]
1411
01:16:02,750 --> 01:16:04,583
I left my Bible below deck, so…
1412
01:16:12,208 --> 01:16:14,125
In the twinkling of an eye,
1413
01:16:15,750 --> 01:16:17,166
at the last call,
1414
01:16:18,541 --> 01:16:20,416
for the trumpet shall sound,
1415
01:16:21,416 --> 01:16:24,500
and the dead
shall be raised incorruptible.
1416
01:16:25,750 --> 01:16:27,750
And we shall all be changed.
1417
01:16:32,250 --> 01:16:33,666
Have we heard anything?
1418
01:16:33,750 --> 01:16:34,583
Not yet.
1419
01:16:46,125 --> 01:16:48,416
[Jean] I thought I might take a moment.
1420
01:16:49,041 --> 01:16:50,541
Say a prayer to St. Jude.
1421
01:16:56,666 --> 01:16:58,208
Should we pray for Major Martin?
1422
01:17:01,041 --> 01:17:02,333
For Major Martin.
1423
01:17:04,833 --> 01:17:06,708
For the success of our mission.
1424
01:17:09,125 --> 01:17:10,291
For those we love.
1425
01:17:32,958 --> 01:17:34,958
[waves crashing]
1426
01:17:46,541 --> 01:17:48,041
[indistinct dialogue]
1427
01:17:49,875 --> 01:17:50,916
[in Spanish] Marco!
1428
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:52,291
-[in Spanish] What?
-Listen…
1429
01:18:10,458 --> 01:18:12,458
[somber music playing]
1430
01:18:22,041 --> 01:18:25,000
[Ian] And so, the hidden war continues.
1431
01:18:29,875 --> 01:18:32,000
Lies are whispered anew.
1432
01:18:33,708 --> 01:18:35,750
Shadows still flicker.
1433
01:18:38,083 --> 01:18:42,041
Even the ground refuses
to steady in this wilderness of illusions.
1434
01:18:47,750 --> 01:18:49,333
A man dies.
1435
01:18:51,708 --> 01:18:53,833
Another begins his journey
1436
01:18:55,541 --> 01:18:58,375
and waits for his story to be told.
1437
01:19:02,041 --> 01:19:04,125
But in the conventional war,
1438
01:19:04,208 --> 01:19:06,208
the wheels of combat turn,
1439
01:19:06,708 --> 01:19:10,916
the forces of men
and machines swell until suddenly
1440
01:19:11,416 --> 01:19:13,000
the die is cast.
1441
01:19:14,041 --> 01:19:15,875
There is no turning back.
1442
01:19:15,958 --> 01:19:18,750
U.S., Canadian,
and British forces will strike
1443
01:19:18,833 --> 01:19:21,083
26 beaches over 100 miles
1444
01:19:21,166 --> 01:19:23,083
of Sicily's southern shore.
1445
01:19:23,583 --> 01:19:26,166
We'll be mobilizing 100,000 plus men,
1446
01:19:26,250 --> 01:19:30,500
3,000 freighters and sweepers
with 1,800 heavy guns, 4,000 aircraft--
1447
01:19:30,583 --> 01:19:32,916
[woman] Commander, if I may.
Does the build-up continue
1448
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:34,166
despite our intelligence?
1449
01:19:34,666 --> 01:19:38,166
Intelligence that shows
Germans continue to reinforce Sicily.
1450
01:19:38,250 --> 01:19:40,250
The prime minister still
hopes to turn the tide
1451
01:19:40,333 --> 01:19:42,666
and convince Germany
that our target is Greece.
1452
01:19:43,916 --> 01:19:46,750
He is now relying almost entirely on us,
1453
01:19:47,583 --> 01:19:48,833
so we have work to do.
1454
01:19:49,541 --> 01:19:51,541
[indistinct chatter]
1455
01:19:54,958 --> 01:19:56,500
-Morning Charles.
-Morning.
1456
01:19:57,791 --> 01:19:58,916
Charles.
1457
01:19:59,416 --> 01:20:01,875
-You don't look any the worse for wear.
-I should.
1458
01:20:01,958 --> 01:20:04,833
There's a reason tall men
don't serve on small submarines.
1459
01:20:10,875 --> 01:20:12,750
Hitler's still reinforcing Sicily.
1460
01:20:12,833 --> 01:20:15,500
[inhales] That can only mean
the other pieces of our deception plan--
1461
01:20:15,583 --> 01:20:16,500
Have missed the mark.
1462
01:20:18,083 --> 01:20:19,666
But Major Martin has washed ashore.
1463
01:20:19,750 --> 01:20:22,125
Gomez-Beare has been
called by the Spanish police.
1464
01:20:22,625 --> 01:20:24,000
Our plan proceeds.
1465
01:20:24,958 --> 01:20:28,458
The fate of the Free World
dependent on a corpse and a donkey cart.
1466
01:20:34,875 --> 01:20:36,000
{\an8}[in Spanish] All good.
1467
01:20:36,083 --> 01:20:38,125
{\an8}[in Spanish] …from Cardiff MartĂn Willy.
1468
01:20:38,208 --> 01:20:39,583
{\an8}HUELVA ROMAN CATHOLIC CEMETERY
1469
01:20:39,666 --> 01:20:42,708
And then look
what is inside that bag, please.
1470
01:20:43,208 --> 01:20:46,541
Thanks for notifying me
a comrade of mine has fallen.
1471
01:20:47,041 --> 01:20:50,458
I'm Judge Pascual del Pobil,
instructor of the Spanish Navy.
1472
01:20:52,625 --> 01:20:56,291
[in Spanish] I guess that would be
a complicated case for a local forensic.
1473
01:20:56,375 --> 01:20:58,750
[in Spanish] I'm Dr. del Torno,
provisional forensic
1474
01:20:58,833 --> 01:21:02,333
and head of pathologic anatomy
department at a university in Madrid.
1475
01:21:02,416 --> 01:21:03,916
The local forensic died.
1476
01:21:04,916 --> 01:21:08,041
By the way,
I fired the local police of Huelva.
1477
01:21:08,125 --> 01:21:11,916
They are corrupted
and controlled by the Nazis.
1478
01:21:12,000 --> 01:21:14,833
I will take care of this personally.
1479
01:21:14,916 --> 01:21:18,291
It is clear that your naval officer
was floating in water for quite some time.
1480
01:21:18,375 --> 01:21:21,250
[Charles] The critical task now is
to make the Germans think we are frantic
1481
01:21:21,333 --> 01:21:24,500
to reclaim the papers, while guiding
the papers right into their hands.
1482
01:21:24,583 --> 01:21:27,250
Since his personal objects
belong to the British government,
1483
01:21:27,333 --> 01:21:28,708
you can take them with you.
1484
01:21:30,416 --> 01:21:32,083
Me? Take them now?
1485
01:21:32,166 --> 01:21:36,541
Yes. No need to go through my superiors,
Commander Gomez-Beare.
1486
01:21:36,625 --> 01:21:40,833
The papers are yours
to return to your king.
1487
01:21:42,250 --> 01:21:44,250
[Charles] On the ground,
our Assistant Naval Attaché,
1488
01:21:44,333 --> 01:21:46,458
Don Gomez-Beare, is with
the body now and will make sure
1489
01:21:46,541 --> 01:21:48,125
the documents get to the German police.
1490
01:21:48,208 --> 01:21:50,291
Also known as the Spanish police.
1491
01:21:50,375 --> 01:21:52,375
I appreciate the offer.
1492
01:21:52,458 --> 01:21:54,333
But there is a protocol,
1493
01:21:54,416 --> 01:21:56,541
and we both know
the minds of naval superiors.
1494
01:21:56,625 --> 01:21:58,125
Do you know mine?
1495
01:21:58,833 --> 01:22:01,666
-Admiral Moreno?
-Moreno is a hopeless nitpicker.
1496
01:22:01,750 --> 01:22:04,916
Moreno is a pain in the ass.
1497
01:22:05,500 --> 01:22:08,500
So why rouse the beast?
1498
01:22:09,166 --> 01:22:11,708
Better to gather the papers
and keep them here for safe-keeping,
1499
01:22:11,791 --> 01:22:14,291
give a full report to Moreno later,
then return them to me.
1500
01:22:14,375 --> 01:22:16,708
We could. But it is hot.
1501
01:22:16,791 --> 01:22:18,750
Your man stinks.
1502
01:22:18,833 --> 01:22:21,291
And lunch and a siesta
are only moments away.
1503
01:22:21,375 --> 01:22:24,625
But they are watching, are they not?
1504
01:22:26,916 --> 01:22:28,125
Those men.
1505
01:22:29,833 --> 01:22:34,166
Fine, if you insist. The papers will go
1506
01:22:34,250 --> 01:22:36,916
to our Naval Office in Huelva.
1507
01:22:37,000 --> 01:22:41,208
In the meantime,
dear coroner, make this quick.
1508
01:22:41,291 --> 01:22:44,333
I see no reason to rush.
1509
01:22:44,416 --> 01:22:47,666
I specialized in drownings at the Academy,
1510
01:22:47,750 --> 01:22:49,791
so I find this case of great interest.
1511
01:22:51,083 --> 01:22:54,625
Specialized in drownings?
1512
01:22:54,708 --> 01:22:58,750
Yes. If this case even is a drowning.
1513
01:22:59,250 --> 01:23:01,166
[Ewen] Once the autopsy is complete,
1514
01:23:01,750 --> 01:23:05,250
we'll work our end through David Ainsworth
at the British Embassy in Madrid.
1515
01:23:05,333 --> 01:23:06,541
British Admiralty on the phone.
1516
01:23:06,625 --> 01:23:09,833
The Germans have bugged the phones there,
so any message we pass to the embassy
1517
01:23:09,916 --> 01:23:11,500
is essentially a message to Berlin.
1518
01:23:11,583 --> 01:23:14,208
Oh, they asked that you
use the unsecured line.
1519
01:23:14,291 --> 01:23:15,750
[suspenseful music playing]
1520
01:23:15,833 --> 01:23:16,666
Ainsworth.
1521
01:23:17,166 --> 01:23:19,500
-[Ewen] Captain, is your line secure?
-Of course.
1522
01:23:19,583 --> 01:23:21,708
[Charles] Good, 'cause we've
just received news
1523
01:23:21,791 --> 01:23:23,500
that one of ours washed up in Huelva.
1524
01:23:23,583 --> 01:23:25,250
[Ewen] Carrying top-secret documents
1525
01:23:25,333 --> 01:23:27,625
General Nye's camp is
very anxious to recover.
1526
01:23:27,708 --> 01:23:29,583
I'll begin inquiries right away.
1527
01:23:29,666 --> 01:23:32,083
[Charles] And the fact
that we're looking for papers at all
1528
01:23:32,166 --> 01:23:33,333
must remain classified.
1529
01:23:33,833 --> 01:23:34,875
Understood.
1530
01:23:35,708 --> 01:23:37,375
[music reaches crescendo, ends]
1531
01:23:38,291 --> 01:23:41,833
[gagging and retching]
1532
01:23:41,958 --> 01:23:46,083
Doctor, our man here has clearly drowned.
1533
01:23:46,166 --> 01:23:48,791
His body has given up the ghost,
I think we can agree.
1534
01:23:48,875 --> 01:23:53,583
There is only one decent thing
we can do now for his poor sodden soul.
1535
01:23:56,416 --> 01:23:58,791
The burial is set for 0800 hours tomorrow?
1536
01:23:58,875 --> 01:24:01,500
[Gomez-Beare] Only because
the expert pathologist from Madrid
1537
01:24:01,583 --> 01:24:05,250
nixed the autopsy, thank Christ,
and not a moment too soon.
1538
01:24:05,333 --> 01:24:09,833
The bad news is the Spanish Navy
in Huelva has the case under lock and key.
1539
01:24:09,916 --> 01:24:12,875
[Charles] Then our only hope is
helping Adolf Clauss get his hands on it.
1540
01:24:12,958 --> 01:24:16,083
Before the case makes its way
to Admiral Moreno's office in Madrid.
1541
01:24:16,166 --> 01:24:18,666
Well, the dung beetle
will surface soon enough.
1542
01:24:18,750 --> 01:24:20,375
[Ewen] Nope, we need him
to surface sooner.
1543
01:24:20,458 --> 01:24:24,041
We'll jolt him with an unencrypted cable
sent to your office tonight.
1544
01:24:24,125 --> 01:24:26,958
Make casual request to Spanish Navy
1545
01:24:27,916 --> 01:24:30,583
to return case and papers. Stop.
1546
01:24:31,083 --> 01:24:33,041
{\an8}Do not alert German interests
1547
01:24:33,125 --> 01:24:36,250
{\an8}to the necessity of securing
1548
01:24:36,333 --> 01:24:39,791
{\an8}these documents back
into British hands, stop.
1549
01:24:40,291 --> 01:24:43,083
Unless you expect
a thank you from Herr Clauss,
1550
01:24:43,708 --> 01:24:45,958
I think our work here tonight is done.
1551
01:24:51,500 --> 01:24:53,375
[Ewen] Get the list through.
In the morning…
1552
01:25:03,708 --> 01:25:07,000
I just saw the name Montagu.
1553
01:25:08,208 --> 01:25:09,875
Ewen's wife, Iris.
1554
01:25:10,916 --> 01:25:12,291
She and I correspond.
1555
01:25:13,125 --> 01:25:15,291
We've known each other
for years, of course.
1556
01:25:24,416 --> 01:25:26,750
[somber music playing]
1557
01:25:32,500 --> 01:25:33,500
[Roger] Jean!
1558
01:25:35,125 --> 01:25:36,041
Jean!
1559
01:25:38,750 --> 01:25:40,583
Goodness! Roger!
1560
01:25:40,666 --> 01:25:42,875
I am so sorry. I've been meaning to--
1561
01:25:42,958 --> 01:25:45,958
No, no. It's okay.
I'm just disappointed since
1562
01:25:47,000 --> 01:25:48,916
it feels like I barely
got to say hello to you,
1563
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:50,791
and now I have to say goodbye.
1564
01:25:52,291 --> 01:25:54,791
The boys and I are
shipping out in the morning.
1565
01:25:55,500 --> 01:25:56,583
In the morning?
1566
01:25:57,083 --> 01:25:59,958
-Where?
-I'm not at liberty to say, but, uh…
1567
01:26:00,458 --> 01:26:03,500
Well, I don't know
when we'll see each other again, so…
1568
01:26:05,916 --> 01:26:08,833
Wherever it is, Roger,
I do hope you'll be safe.
1569
01:26:09,416 --> 01:26:11,041
May I write to you?
1570
01:26:11,125 --> 01:26:12,375
[Jean] Of course.
1571
01:26:13,041 --> 01:26:14,958
Please write.
1572
01:26:16,291 --> 01:26:18,291
[takes deep breath]
1573
01:26:18,375 --> 01:26:19,750
[emotional music playing]
1574
01:26:20,458 --> 01:26:21,458
[Roger places kiss]
1575
01:26:23,708 --> 01:26:24,708
Goodbye.
1576
01:26:39,083 --> 01:26:42,458
[in Spanish] In the name of the Father,
the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
1577
01:26:42,541 --> 01:26:43,458
Amen.
1578
01:26:44,875 --> 01:26:46,083
Jesus Christ…
1579
01:26:46,166 --> 01:26:48,458
[Gomez-Beare in Spanish]
It will be my funeral next.
1580
01:26:49,250 --> 01:26:53,625
I should've taken that
bloody briefcase when I had the chance.
1581
01:26:53,708 --> 01:26:57,208
My superiors are frantic for it.
1582
01:26:57,708 --> 01:26:59,958
Perhaps the case is already en route.
1583
01:27:00,458 --> 01:27:02,541
To where? Have you heard gossip?
1584
01:27:03,833 --> 01:27:07,083
This is a small town, Lieutenant.
Treacherously small.
1585
01:27:07,583 --> 01:27:09,500
The chair maker has been asking questions.
1586
01:27:13,041 --> 01:27:13,958
[in English] Adolf.
1587
01:27:14,041 --> 01:27:15,541
What a pleasant surprise.
1588
01:27:17,916 --> 01:27:19,708
Quite the turnout for our man.
1589
01:27:23,250 --> 01:27:26,541
[Ainsworth] So, Adolf Clauss
turned out to be two steps behind…
1590
01:27:26,625 --> 01:27:28,625
[car revving]
1591
01:27:29,125 --> 01:27:31,333
…because the briefcase
has landed in Madrid.
1592
01:27:31,416 --> 01:27:32,541
Dear God.
1593
01:27:32,625 --> 01:27:35,916
[Ainsworth] Which means it will be
in Admiral Moreno's office shortly.
1594
01:27:36,000 --> 01:27:38,708
But let's hope
that Kuhlenthal can't be far behind.
1595
01:27:39,625 --> 01:27:42,041
And since we've bugged
every office in Naval Headquarters--
1596
01:27:42,125 --> 01:27:43,375
Not every office. Not Moreno's.
1597
01:27:43,458 --> 01:27:46,083
-[in Spanish] Admiral Moreno.
-[in Spanish] Come with me, please.
1598
01:27:47,083 --> 01:27:48,875
[Ewen] We need to know
what Moreno's up to,
1599
01:27:48,958 --> 01:27:50,833
David, so you'll have to improvise.
1600
01:27:51,333 --> 01:27:53,000
Time to look up old friends.
1601
01:27:54,000 --> 01:27:57,125
[in Spanish] I need to hear
that conversation.
1602
01:27:57,208 --> 01:27:58,875
[indistinct chatter]
1603
01:27:59,666 --> 01:28:01,666
[suspenseful music playing]
1604
01:28:11,583 --> 01:28:13,500
[in Spanish] I've missed you, Captain.
1605
01:28:14,208 --> 01:28:15,041
[laughs]
1606
01:28:19,541 --> 01:28:21,791
[woman moaning]
1607
01:28:22,541 --> 01:28:24,541
[Ainsworth] I heard
the whole conversation.
1608
01:28:24,625 --> 01:28:26,666
Moreno denied having the papers,
1609
01:28:26,750 --> 01:28:29,125
while Kuhlenthal
insisted he did have the papers.
1610
01:28:29,208 --> 01:28:30,416
[woman breathing heavily]
1611
01:28:30,500 --> 01:28:32,833
Did Kuhlenthal get hold of the case?
1612
01:28:32,916 --> 01:28:34,125
Unfortunately not.
1613
01:28:34,208 --> 01:28:36,041
Moreno wasn't open for business.
1614
01:28:36,125 --> 01:28:40,000
Dear God! It's hard to see who's more
up a tree with this, us or the Germans.
1615
01:28:40,083 --> 01:28:42,458
I would say Kuhlenthal is
desperate enough for us all.
1616
01:28:42,541 --> 01:28:44,250
[yelling in German]
1617
01:28:44,333 --> 01:28:47,750
The bug in his office caught him
eviscerating Clauss for not
1618
01:28:47,833 --> 01:28:49,416
snatching the papers in Huelva.
1619
01:28:49,500 --> 01:28:51,250
-[yelling in German]
-[glass crashing]
1620
01:28:51,333 --> 01:28:52,583
[Ewen] So he should.
1621
01:28:52,666 --> 01:28:55,500
And the Spanish Navy can't seem to
stop reminding us how neutral they are.
1622
01:28:55,583 --> 01:28:57,666
They won't let the Germans
anywhere near our briefcase.
1623
01:28:57,750 --> 01:29:00,000
Colonel Cerruti could
get hold of the papers.
1624
01:29:00,083 --> 01:29:01,083
Cerruti?
1625
01:29:01,583 --> 01:29:03,583
Spain's secret police
are beyond treacherous.
1626
01:29:03,666 --> 01:29:06,416
[Charles] They are, but he's
a keen fascist. He's devoted to Hitler.
1627
01:29:06,500 --> 01:29:10,000
And we have no other choice.
We have to get the papers to Kuhlenthal.
1628
01:29:10,083 --> 01:29:13,250
[Ainsworth] Colonel Cerruti
ran me as a double agent years ago
1629
01:29:13,333 --> 01:29:16,125
without ever realizing
I was a triple agent for our side.
1630
01:29:16,208 --> 01:29:19,041
But I've steered clear
of the Colonel for some time now.
1631
01:29:19,125 --> 01:29:20,125
[Ewen] He's gone dry?
1632
01:29:20,208 --> 01:29:21,458
[Ainsworth] He requires
1633
01:29:22,583 --> 01:29:23,666
careful handling.
1634
01:29:23,750 --> 01:29:25,875
[in Spanish] Are you here
because you missed me, David?
1635
01:29:25,958 --> 01:29:26,791
[chuckles]
1636
01:29:26,875 --> 01:29:29,625
We sympathize, David,
but Churchill has put his money on us.
1637
01:29:29,708 --> 01:29:32,916
We cannot tell the prime minister
that we've hit a dead end now.
1638
01:29:33,416 --> 01:29:35,500
[tense music playing]
1639
01:29:35,583 --> 01:29:36,625
[hanging up phone]
1640
01:29:38,125 --> 01:29:42,333
[in Spanish] I am here, Colonel,
out of our shared duty to the Fuhrer.
1641
01:29:44,250 --> 01:29:48,708
Admiral Moreno insists
they know nothing of British documents
1642
01:29:49,625 --> 01:29:52,791
we know are in his possession.
1643
01:29:53,791 --> 01:29:57,458
Papers the Fuhrer needs to see.
1644
01:30:01,375 --> 01:30:03,375
And what is in the documents?
1645
01:30:05,625 --> 01:30:09,041
Something the British
are very keen to hide.
1646
01:30:12,208 --> 01:30:15,875
Now, I know Moreno is incorruptible…
1647
01:30:17,750 --> 01:30:19,041
but in your hands…
1648
01:30:21,916 --> 01:30:23,333
And what of your hands?
1649
01:30:29,083 --> 01:30:31,083
[music intensifies]
1650
01:30:32,083 --> 01:30:34,083
[Ceruti breathing heavily]
1651
01:30:48,708 --> 01:30:50,708
[suspenseful music playing]
1652
01:30:57,958 --> 01:30:59,958
[indistinct chatter]
1653
01:31:15,750 --> 01:31:17,750
[footsteps receding]
1654
01:31:26,500 --> 01:31:28,791
[both speaking indistinctly]
1655
01:31:36,416 --> 01:31:37,916
[suspenseful music continues]
1656
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:39,541
[phone ringing]
1657
01:31:45,291 --> 01:31:47,291
[indistinct chatter]
1658
01:31:52,291 --> 01:31:53,458
I need some air.
1659
01:31:57,541 --> 01:32:01,541
[Ewen] There's no mention of Cerruti
or Kuhlenthal in any of these transcripts.
1660
01:32:01,625 --> 01:32:03,625
We don't know if Cerruti met with Moreno,
1661
01:32:03,708 --> 01:32:05,958
or if he even took the case,
or if he read the letter.
1662
01:32:06,458 --> 01:32:08,208
We are utterly in the dark.
1663
01:32:08,291 --> 01:32:11,041
Is that what
Charles and M were discussing?
1664
01:32:11,916 --> 01:32:13,583
Charles and Godfrey?
1665
01:32:13,666 --> 01:32:14,500
When?
1666
01:32:14,583 --> 01:32:17,583
Yesterday. I saw them
outside talking alone.
1667
01:32:17,666 --> 01:32:19,125
And you're telling me this now?
1668
01:32:19,208 --> 01:32:21,416
[Jean] I wasn't aware
I was supposed to tell you
1669
01:32:21,500 --> 01:32:22,750
or anyone.
1670
01:32:26,708 --> 01:32:29,083
[Hester] He can be like this
when he's under pressure.
1671
01:32:29,166 --> 01:32:31,000
You mustn't take it personally.
1672
01:32:31,541 --> 01:32:33,625
[Jean] The waiting's driving us all mad.
1673
01:32:36,666 --> 01:32:39,708
Why does Ewen's wife write to you
1674
01:32:40,458 --> 01:32:41,583
and not to him?
1675
01:32:47,583 --> 01:32:49,166
Every marriage has its
1676
01:32:49,666 --> 01:32:51,625
difficulties and disappointments.
1677
01:32:52,666 --> 01:32:55,250
Haven't we all had our
hearts broken over the years?
1678
01:32:56,708 --> 01:32:58,791
What's hard to understand about Ewen,
1679
01:33:00,000 --> 01:33:01,500
hidden beneath all the bluster
1680
01:33:02,375 --> 01:33:04,958
is his very deep sense of duty.
1681
01:33:06,833 --> 01:33:08,125
I only say this
1682
01:33:08,791 --> 01:33:10,958
because I'm so very fond of you
1683
01:33:11,583 --> 01:33:12,583
and him.
1684
01:33:14,375 --> 01:33:15,375
And her.
1685
01:33:17,166 --> 01:33:19,083
[teletype clacking]
1686
01:33:24,375 --> 01:33:26,333
[Ewen] Moreno's on his way to the embassy.
1687
01:33:27,208 --> 01:33:29,541
And Kuhlenthal has just left for Berlin.
1688
01:33:30,958 --> 01:33:32,833
[Moreno in Spanish] Captain,
this traveling case
1689
01:33:32,916 --> 01:33:34,083
has come into our possession.
1690
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:36,625
We don't know its contents.
1691
01:33:37,375 --> 01:33:40,333
We do know it's the property
of the British government.
1692
01:33:41,000 --> 01:33:43,833
And at times like these, with countries
at war and allegiances so fragile,
1693
01:33:44,333 --> 01:33:46,666
Spain wishes to see
its safe return to its owner.
1694
01:33:48,458 --> 01:33:50,125
[in Spanish] Thank you very much.
1695
01:33:51,500 --> 01:33:53,958
[tense music playing]
1696
01:33:54,041 --> 01:33:57,000
So, the moment of truth.
1697
01:34:02,958 --> 01:34:04,333
[flashbulbs popping]
1698
01:34:07,250 --> 01:34:09,041
The seal hasn't been touched.
1699
01:34:09,541 --> 01:34:11,250
Meaning the letter hasn't been read.
1700
01:34:11,333 --> 01:34:13,291
Let's not hang ourselves just yet.
1701
01:34:13,791 --> 01:34:15,791
One can, with great delicacy,
1702
01:34:16,375 --> 01:34:18,333
remove a letter without
fully opening the envelope.
1703
01:34:18,916 --> 01:34:21,333
If the gum has been dissolved in solvent.
1704
01:34:21,416 --> 01:34:22,333
Or seawater.
1705
01:34:22,416 --> 01:34:24,250
Yes. Yes, seawater.
1706
01:34:31,833 --> 01:34:34,166
It is possible to insert here,
1707
01:34:34,666 --> 01:34:38,500
grab the edge of the letter,
and then, ever so gently… twist.
1708
01:34:38,583 --> 01:34:40,750
So it is possible they removed the letter?
1709
01:34:40,833 --> 01:34:44,666
Twisting like this
causes the pages to curl,
1710
01:34:44,750 --> 01:34:46,958
but, uh, once back
in the envelope, of course,
1711
01:34:47,041 --> 01:34:48,166
the letter will lie flat.
1712
01:34:48,250 --> 01:34:50,958
So how is a curl we cannot see helpful?
1713
01:34:52,166 --> 01:34:55,375
Um, it isn't. It-- It isn't.
1714
01:34:55,958 --> 01:34:59,250
Unless we wet the paper again,
dry it, and see what happens.
1715
01:35:00,250 --> 01:35:01,958
It looks as if the eyelash is gone.
1716
01:35:02,958 --> 01:35:07,000
We are not sending 100,000 men
into battle on a missing eyelash.
1717
01:35:07,500 --> 01:35:09,500
[music intensifies]
1718
01:35:12,833 --> 01:35:14,500
[Charles] So it has been opened.
1719
01:35:15,333 --> 01:35:19,916
This letter has been removed
from the envelope, and it has been opened.
1720
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:21,458
Which means it's been read.
1721
01:35:21,541 --> 01:35:22,541
[door unlocking]
1722
01:35:44,125 --> 01:35:45,041
[floorboards creak]
1723
01:35:45,125 --> 01:35:46,125
[footsteps approach]
1724
01:35:49,541 --> 01:35:50,750
Teddy!
1725
01:35:51,625 --> 01:35:52,833
What on earth--
1726
01:35:52,916 --> 01:35:54,541
-Why?
-Why am I not at the club?
1727
01:35:54,625 --> 01:35:56,125
I don't work there anymore.
1728
01:35:57,916 --> 01:35:59,250
Strange, isn't it?
1729
01:36:00,416 --> 01:36:04,875
To find an old photograph of you
amongst Major Martin's papers.
1730
01:36:06,208 --> 01:36:08,625
I don't recall seeing him
at the Gargoyle, Jean.
1731
01:36:10,083 --> 01:36:12,208
Or, do I call you Pam?
1732
01:36:22,083 --> 01:36:23,000
"Dearest Bill,
1733
01:36:23,500 --> 01:36:26,166
why did we have to meet
in the middle of a war?"
1734
01:36:26,958 --> 01:36:29,125
[clicks tongue] "For if it
weren't for this madness,
1735
01:36:29,208 --> 01:36:31,250
we might have been married by now."
1736
01:36:32,125 --> 01:36:34,375
I don't understand what you're doing.
1737
01:36:34,458 --> 01:36:35,541
[Teddy] There are Germans,
1738
01:36:36,125 --> 01:36:37,500
good Germans,
1739
01:36:38,583 --> 01:36:40,291
in positions of great influence
1740
01:36:40,375 --> 01:36:43,458
that are allied
in their desire to see the Fuhrer fall.
1741
01:36:44,875 --> 01:36:49,750
But these men
have been rebuffed by your superiors,
1742
01:36:49,833 --> 01:36:52,250
labeled "the anti-Hitler hoax,"
1743
01:36:52,333 --> 01:36:55,083
which is a shame
since we both are on the same side.
1744
01:36:55,583 --> 01:36:57,583
[tense music playing]
1745
01:37:00,583 --> 01:37:03,250
My German friends need
to understand what's happened here.
1746
01:37:04,416 --> 01:37:08,791
So, you will tell me about
Major Martin and the letters in his case,
1747
01:37:08,875 --> 01:37:11,625
or I will pull out my gun
and put a bullet in your head.
1748
01:37:16,375 --> 01:37:18,833
[music intensifies]
1749
01:37:30,208 --> 01:37:31,208
We just got this,
1750
01:37:31,291 --> 01:37:34,041
the latest intercept sent by General Jodl,
1751
01:37:34,125 --> 01:37:37,250
Nazi Chief of Operations.
It says, and I quote,
1752
01:37:37,333 --> 01:37:41,500
"Enemy landings
on a large scale are expected in Greece
1753
01:37:41,583 --> 01:37:43,833
in the very near future." In Greece.
1754
01:37:44,416 --> 01:37:46,708
It came through
at the highest level of encryption.
1755
01:37:47,208 --> 01:37:48,166
Do we believe this?
1756
01:37:50,125 --> 01:37:51,208
General Jodl.
1757
01:37:51,958 --> 01:37:53,625
We couldn't ask for
a more credible source.
1758
01:37:53,708 --> 01:37:56,375
[Ewen] And if the Nazis were
moving troops from Sicily to Greece,
1759
01:37:56,458 --> 01:37:58,333
it would be Jodl that's moving them.
1760
01:37:58,416 --> 01:38:00,583
[telephone ringing]
1761
01:38:06,166 --> 01:38:07,000
[man] Q Branch.
1762
01:38:08,416 --> 01:38:09,583
Yes. Yes, he is.
1763
01:38:11,916 --> 01:38:13,416
Yes, I'll tell him right away.
1764
01:38:13,500 --> 01:38:14,500
[music intensifies]
1765
01:38:14,583 --> 01:38:18,333
[Charles] The man served us drinks
every night, Ewen! It was your club!
1766
01:38:18,416 --> 01:38:20,416
[Ewen] You don't think
I vetted every single employee
1767
01:38:20,500 --> 01:38:21,708
in and out of the Gargoyle?
1768
01:38:21,791 --> 01:38:24,625
You don't think I'm aware of everyone
around me who might be listening?
1769
01:38:24,708 --> 01:38:26,666
Well, you know,
we can't ask Teddy what happened
1770
01:38:26,750 --> 01:38:28,958
because his flat's been searched,
and he's vanished!
1771
01:38:29,041 --> 01:38:31,666
[Ewen] Every Nazi operative
within our borders has either been turned
1772
01:38:31,750 --> 01:38:32,750
or eliminated long ago.
1773
01:38:32,833 --> 01:38:35,791
We monitor everyone who might
remotely constitute a fifth column.
1774
01:38:35,875 --> 01:38:37,333
We have eyes on every Blackshirt.
1775
01:38:37,416 --> 01:38:39,333
Well then, who is this man? Who is he?
1776
01:38:44,250 --> 01:38:46,625
Jean, are you sure
that he didn't give you a name?
1777
01:38:46,708 --> 01:38:48,916
He didn't indicate
who might have sent him?
1778
01:38:49,000 --> 01:38:49,833
Just,
1779
01:38:49,916 --> 01:38:52,166
Just the Germans fighting against Hitler.
1780
01:38:53,250 --> 01:38:55,958
-I assumed it was a lie.
-It most likely was a lie.
1781
01:38:56,041 --> 01:38:57,583
Well, he was trying to get you to talk.
1782
01:38:57,666 --> 01:38:59,208
But I did talk.
1783
01:39:00,291 --> 01:39:02,750
I said, yes, I worked at the Admiralty.
1784
01:39:02,833 --> 01:39:03,666
[takes deep breath]
1785
01:39:03,750 --> 01:39:05,041
[Jean] And the officer that died,
1786
01:39:05,125 --> 01:39:08,083
he was using an alias
traveling with a fake dossier.
1787
01:39:08,166 --> 01:39:09,166
He was a spy.
1788
01:39:09,250 --> 01:39:13,166
But that he was also
transporting real classified material,
1789
01:39:13,791 --> 01:39:15,291
real letters.
1790
01:39:15,375 --> 01:39:17,208
It was ridiculous, but
1791
01:39:17,291 --> 01:39:19,958
what could I say?
He had the photograph. [sobs]
1792
01:39:20,458 --> 01:39:22,208
I gave you that photograph.
1793
01:39:22,291 --> 01:39:23,750
[Ewen] Jean, this is not your fault.
1794
01:39:23,833 --> 01:39:25,833
[Jean] But they know
the photograph isn't real.
1795
01:39:25,916 --> 01:39:27,583
They'll suspect everything now.
1796
01:39:27,666 --> 01:39:29,500
We don't even know who they are.
1797
01:39:30,666 --> 01:39:32,125
You're not safe here.
1798
01:39:33,208 --> 01:39:36,458
I have a guestroom. You can
stay there until we all sort this out.
1799
01:39:39,958 --> 01:39:44,291
[breathing deeply]
1800
01:39:45,458 --> 01:39:47,500
You would bring her to your own house?
1801
01:39:47,583 --> 01:39:50,583
Have you no shame after you've
jeopardized this entire operation?
1802
01:39:50,666 --> 01:39:51,708
[Ewen] You approached Jean.
1803
01:39:51,791 --> 01:39:53,875
You're the one
who insisted on using her photograph!
1804
01:39:53,958 --> 01:39:56,875
You're so busy seducing her that you
took your eye off your own brother.
1805
01:39:56,958 --> 01:39:58,458
You think I told Ivor about Mincemeat?
1806
01:39:58,541 --> 01:40:00,958
-How do we know he's not behind this?
-I tell him nothing!
1807
01:40:01,041 --> 01:40:03,541
Because you know he's
a spy in bed with the Russians!
1808
01:40:03,625 --> 01:40:05,875
Don't you tell me
what I know and don't know.
1809
01:40:06,375 --> 01:40:09,041
You don't think I imagine myself
at his funeral every day?
1810
01:40:09,125 --> 01:40:11,458
My own brother,
tried and hanged for treason.
1811
01:40:11,541 --> 01:40:12,708
How fucking dare you?
1812
01:40:12,791 --> 01:40:15,125
I am not the one who is running
a covert operation
1813
01:40:15,208 --> 01:40:17,541
with a spy under my roof!
1814
01:40:23,458 --> 01:40:24,291
No.
1815
01:40:25,958 --> 01:40:27,666
No, your brother's a war hero.
1816
01:40:29,125 --> 01:40:30,333
And I envy you that.
1817
01:40:33,333 --> 01:40:35,000
Whatever went wrong, it wasn't Ivor.
1818
01:40:35,083 --> 01:40:37,541
You are a careless bastard, Montagu.
1819
01:40:39,875 --> 01:40:41,416
You're careless with Jean,
1820
01:40:42,250 --> 01:40:45,416
you're careless with your brother,
and you're careless with your own wife.
1821
01:40:50,583 --> 01:40:53,083
I don't need you to remind me of my sins.
1822
01:40:53,166 --> 01:40:55,000
[somber music playing]
1823
01:40:55,541 --> 01:40:58,125
I only wonder how you
reconcile yourself with yours.
1824
01:41:00,583 --> 01:41:02,208
You strike some sort of deal?
1825
01:41:03,708 --> 01:41:04,708
Spying on me.
1826
01:41:06,291 --> 01:41:08,416
My hide in exchange for…
1827
01:41:10,333 --> 01:41:11,166
what?
1828
01:41:20,375 --> 01:41:21,708
I need to look after Jean.
1829
01:41:25,958 --> 01:41:29,208
Everything depends on finding out
who sent that man and why.
1830
01:41:30,708 --> 01:41:32,958
What if it was Von Roenne?
1831
01:41:37,125 --> 01:41:39,208
More than anyone else
in German intelligence,
1832
01:41:40,875 --> 01:41:43,541
Von Roenne would need to
know if Mincemeat is true.
1833
01:41:46,333 --> 01:41:48,875
So he could decide
if what he's whispering in Hitler's ear
1834
01:41:48,958 --> 01:41:50,666
is fact or fiction.
1835
01:41:53,333 --> 01:41:57,208
Because Von Roenne may be
the one who is fighting the other war.
1836
01:41:58,833 --> 01:42:00,041
The secret war.
1837
01:42:01,083 --> 01:42:04,541
The war dedicated
to seeing Hitler destroyed.
1838
01:42:08,875 --> 01:42:10,166
Either that's true,
1839
01:42:11,041 --> 01:42:13,333
or it's a fiction that we want to be true.
1840
01:42:15,916 --> 01:42:16,875
What's fact
1841
01:42:17,583 --> 01:42:21,000
is that you know I suspected my brother
of spying and refused to turn him in.
1842
01:42:24,000 --> 01:42:26,916
So, you know enough
to see me ruined and my brother hanged.
1843
01:42:30,541 --> 01:42:32,500
So the next move is yours, Charles.
1844
01:42:34,541 --> 01:42:35,500
What's it to be?
1845
01:42:59,500 --> 01:43:01,083
What we know for certain…
1846
01:43:04,958 --> 01:43:09,166
is that within our borders,
our eyes and ears missed nothing.
1847
01:43:10,291 --> 01:43:12,333
German spies, Nazi sympathizers,
1848
01:43:12,416 --> 01:43:14,375
we know where they are.
We know who they are.
1849
01:43:15,583 --> 01:43:17,500
Which means that whoever this man is,
1850
01:43:18,958 --> 01:43:21,250
it's not something
we've encountered before.
1851
01:43:23,416 --> 01:43:24,625
That's your excuse
1852
01:43:25,125 --> 01:43:27,666
for using a photograph
of one of our own operatives?
1853
01:43:27,750 --> 01:43:29,041
The photograph was my error, sir.
1854
01:43:29,125 --> 01:43:31,625
I was the one who insisted on
choosing someone within our ranks.
1855
01:43:31,708 --> 01:43:33,541
The woman is beside the point.
1856
01:43:35,083 --> 01:43:38,666
I just wish I could find even a sliver
of satisfaction in having predicted this
1857
01:43:38,750 --> 01:43:40,666
fucking disaster months ago.
1858
01:43:42,958 --> 01:43:44,833
I'm still receiving intelligence.
1859
01:43:44,916 --> 01:43:49,291
-The Germans are preparing for Greece.
-[Charles] It could be a ruse.
1860
01:43:49,375 --> 01:43:51,666
It's obviously a ruse,
given the operation's been revealed.
1861
01:43:51,750 --> 01:43:53,791
[Charles] Although, not necessarily, sir.
1862
01:43:55,708 --> 01:43:57,458
Montagu and I
have been racking our brains,
1863
01:43:58,333 --> 01:43:59,250
trying to
1864
01:43:59,833 --> 01:44:02,875
decode the message
behind this contact with us.
1865
01:44:03,541 --> 01:44:05,166
Why did this man reveal himself?
1866
01:44:05,750 --> 01:44:07,041
If he's an agent for the Adwehr,
1867
01:44:07,125 --> 01:44:09,875
why would he deliberately signal
that he'd discovered our deception?
1868
01:44:09,958 --> 01:44:10,833
It doesn't add up,
1869
01:44:11,458 --> 01:44:14,166
which is why the troop movements
to Greece may not be a ruse after all.
1870
01:44:14,250 --> 01:44:17,416
Why would the Nazis continue to act
on information they know to be false?
1871
01:44:17,500 --> 01:44:19,333
Because Von Roenne is
telling them to act on it.
1872
01:44:19,416 --> 01:44:22,541
There's not a shred of proof
of this so-called anti-Hitler plot.
1873
01:44:22,625 --> 01:44:25,000
We don't know that it isn't true, either.
1874
01:44:25,625 --> 01:44:28,791
-Christ.
-Admiral, this man came out of nowhere.
1875
01:44:28,875 --> 01:44:31,458
Perhaps he is the proof
of the anti-Hitler plot.
1876
01:44:31,541 --> 01:44:34,166
And he contacted us
so that we would know the plot is real.
1877
01:44:34,250 --> 01:44:36,541
And as German troops
continue to move towards Greece,
1878
01:44:36,625 --> 01:44:38,250
we would continue to plan for Sicily.
1879
01:44:38,333 --> 01:44:41,750
So that Von Roenne can
reinforce that misinformation with Hitler,
1880
01:44:41,833 --> 01:44:42,916
leaving Sicily undefended.
1881
01:44:43,000 --> 01:44:44,875
That is our instinct.
1882
01:44:46,166 --> 01:44:47,708
That is your instinct?
1883
01:44:49,666 --> 01:44:51,541
The fate of the world at stake,
1884
01:44:52,041 --> 01:44:55,333
the Nazi killing machine
waiting for us on Sicily's shores, and…
1885
01:44:57,041 --> 01:44:58,833
you two with your instinct.

If it were up to me,
1888
01:45:03,625 --> 01:45:06,916
I would postpone Sicily
and have you drawn and quartered.
1889
01:45:10,250 --> 01:45:12,500
No doubt the prime minister
has been informed?
1890
01:45:14,416 --> 01:45:15,375
What does he want to do?
1891
01:45:16,250 --> 01:45:17,625
The prime minister
1892
01:45:19,208 --> 01:45:22,333
does not want to postpone Sicily.
1893
01:45:24,916 --> 01:45:27,541
I pray we can all live
with the consequences.

[kisses, inhales] Thank you, my son.
1902
01:46:18,625 --> 01:46:20,583
[Ewen] And this is a posting, where?
1903
01:46:22,250 --> 01:46:24,333
-They haven't told me yet.
-They?
1904
01:46:24,416 --> 01:46:25,500
Special Operations.
1905
01:46:25,583 --> 01:46:27,500
I was accepted today.
1906
01:46:28,541 --> 01:46:31,375
I suspect because Masterman
put in a good word for me.
1907
01:46:32,083 --> 01:46:37,541
Hopefully, I'll find my way overseas
as a courier or a radio operator.
1908
01:46:37,625 --> 01:46:38,458
I see.
1909
01:46:41,250 --> 01:46:44,958
I can never forgive myself
for placing our operation in peril.
1910
01:46:45,041 --> 01:46:47,000
I won't hear it.
What happened is not your fault.
1911
01:46:47,083 --> 01:46:50,791
Regardless, it'll take
the grace of God and nerves of steel
1912
01:46:50,875 --> 01:46:52,666
to land Mincemeat safely now.
1913
01:46:52,750 --> 01:46:55,750
The kind of fortitude
you have demonstrated every single day.
1914

I've played my part
in the Bill and Pam story, Ewen.

It's time for me to go where I'm needed.

You will have your own story, then.

You will fight your own war.
1923

You will serve bravely.

And I…
1926
01:47:37,625 --> 01:47:41,250
You will be reunited
with your wife and children.

It seems the enemy
has fallen for the deception.

We expect resistance to be
limited to Italian coastal divisions.

Then our fighting men thank you.
