The church was bombed last night. So he said we could hold it here.

Dan, Jack, your son. For God's sake!

Sir, that's not how we do it! That's how I do it, Number One.

Dad? Do you like it?

Dad?

Do you like it? Dad?

Dad?

Dad?

What are you doing?

I'm sorting things out

to go to the orphanage for children with nothing.

No.

These are not toys.

Someone's coming to collect them.

Well, tell them there's nothing to collect.

So you're asking me to live with them?

I'm not pretending he never existed.

I heard what happened at the dockyards.

They had it coming. That may be so.

But if it means more time for you here, with me...

..to rest.

I'll put these back.

Telegram.

Your last patrol, you boarded a U-boat.

- That is correct. - What happened?

I was accompanied by my XO. In breach of standing orders.

Anything of value had been destroyed by the German officers on board.

The CO attempted to use his firearm against me, so I shot him.

And then?

I boarded the "Perseverance" and ordered the U-boat sunk.

- Survivors? - There were none.

Why was that?

Because I left them to drown.

Here's the thing, Swinburne.

It's coming to a head in the Atlantic.

Dönitz is throwing all he has to try to break the convoy route.

Wolf packs are gathering like never before.

We have the weapons to fight them.

But the escorts need the right men with a right attitude leading them.

Can't change the way I feel, sir. Why would we want you to change?

What we want to do is turn the tables.

Use the convoys as bait, draw the U-Boats onto them

and then actively pursue them.

Now we have the hardware, we turn defence into attack.

We can't protect every boat in every convoy,

so it comes down to simple maths.

We lose 50 convoy ships and they lose one U-boat,

they win.

But make that ten U-boats, it's a different story.

One with the right ending.

We need proven U-boat killers like you

to go and do what they're good at.

New orders from the top.

The very top.

Convoy ONS185 is currently assembling.

Make sure you and your crew are ready to escort it.

You'll need to work up the new gear as you go.

There was an incident down at the refit docks.

We've received no complaint. Do you want to make one?

No, sir.

Um-hmm.

Ooh!

Hmm.

Finally. A battle plan.

With these new weapons, they'll be the ones on the run.

And when do you leave? Soon as I can.

They want me back out there.

Into a war that's going to be fought harder than ever.

I'm glad that you've got your appetite back.

I want to be glad you've said more

to me in the last half hour than you have since you got back.

But I wish it was because of something I've done.

You got any more of this?

But it's not. It's because of the war.

Makes me wonder.

Wonder what?

If you ever really want this war to end.

Mm. Oh!

I thought I might try roulette tonight.

Well then you must give my regards to Frau Gruber.

What? You know her?

- We've met. - I see.

I hear she was quite a party girl in Berlin

before the brownshirts took over.

We all have our pasts, don't we?

Yeah. Good luck.

Come to my table in two minutes and say there's a phone call for me.

It's to do with Dorfmann.

No more bets.

There's a telephone call for you in the lobby.

And a champagne bottle for - the top gentleman. - Of course.

Sir.

I understand the new man gave you his full backing.

And you don't agree with him?

You're the man in step with the times, not me.

What's that? A transfer request.

Let me guess, "personal differences" make working together impossible.

You think we shouldn't be motivated by revenge.

Not compatible with the high standards of His Majesty's Navy.

I'd be grateful if you'd give it consideration.

Mick!

They even supplied glassware.

Let's celebrate getting back into action, huh?

The refit's nearly done.

And in double-quick time.

Amazing what one punch can do.

To the working man. To the fighting man.

Fighting the working man.

Tell me something. That U-Boat, the one we sunk.

What do you think about what I did?

It sent a message.

The right one?

The only one.

Let's go out there and make sure everyone gets it.

The war's changed.

And there’s no getting out of it.

Whatever fucking school you went to.

All yours.

So, Herr Giese,

your business is complete here.

It seems so.

But I have to stay a little longer. Additional paperwork.

Don't overexert yourself.

An improved Type 290.

Larger reflectors detect low-flying aircraft up to 17 miles.

Range for detecting a periscope?

Depending on the sea, up to 5,500 yards.

Now we'll have them!

They'll line us up, thinking they're safe at periscope depth...

And we'll know exactly where they are.

They won't know what hit them

until they're blown out of the water by our silent new Hedgehog bombs.

This technology, gentlemen, is going to give us our victory.

Right, to the quarter deck.

Mr McCoy, you can introduce us to our new pets.

Sir, if I may, my letter...

Later, Mercer.

Herr Giese, good evening. Miss de Pina.

I'm attending the talk upstairs, but perhaps we could meet later?

I owe you for your help last night. A drink?

Oh.

That would be nice.

I finish at ten. I'll pick you up outside.

And now, without further ado,

I'd like to introduce tonight's featured speaker.

He needs no introduction. Till later.

Here is Admiral Sir Timothy O'Sullivan, RN.

Ladies and Gentlemen, countrymen

and friends.

Friends are what the British and Portuguese have always been.

For more than 500 years

since the original naval alliance was signed

between our two great seafaring nations...

..which must be faced down by freedom loving peoples like ours.

In conclusion,

I only hope it lasts for another 500 years to come.

Hear, hear!

I also hope

that my remarks about the history of British naval tradition

will bring some of my audience to an understanding

of how war at sea should be fought.

With honour and dignity, not with the stealth and cowardice,

which Admiral Dönitz seems to find acceptable.

Yes.

Do we have any questions from the floor for the Admiral?

Yes, let me thank the Admiral for his most enlightening talk.

But as First Consul to the German legation,

I would like to announce my intention

to invite an equally prestigious speaker to Lisbon

to promote our U-Boot tradition, of which we are extremely proud.

Although, with its tremendous success in sinking Allied ships

I can understand quite well why the Admiral finds it so irksome.

But I fear with further advances in our technology

he will only have further disappointments to face.

Thank you.

If...

If anyone has any actual questions for the Admiral?

I think we can leave it there. Thank you all very much.

Everything OK? We're good. Thank you.

I still don't know why he didn't get on the plane. He had a visa!

He was trying to do the honourable thing.

Thanks for making me come out, Helen.

- Good night. - Good night.

What are you doing? We sail at high tide tomorrow.

I'll sleep on the ship.

What?

Well... Just when you seemed happier.

That's because I'm going back out, and you seem happier without me.

You were watching me, weren't you? You should get on with your life.

Maybe it'd be better if you found somebody else.

What? Someone who could return your love.

I can't. Not anymore.

I don't believe that.

The war is where I belong now.

- You're its prisoner. - No.

I was its prisoner, before.

I was told what to do and how to do it.

And now we're in charge. We're calling the shots.

I'm going to pursue it to the end.

What end?

Jack!

Jack!
