Original subtitles

Not terrible.

Look at.

It's what ?

It had been there for a long time.

The submarine found off the coast of

Norway dates from the Second World War...

For the moment...

Lovers !

Take a break. Here we are.

Hey ho! That’s 11.

90 euros. We haven't seen each other for two weeks.

Luckily it hasn’t been a month!

I should have covered my seats.

Katie?

Kati, why don't you answer?

I am here. What do you want ?

I have an errand for you.

No, I finished my shift.

The client is at 4, Schloss Strasse and wants you to go there.

I don't have any clients at this address.

Her name is Elisabeth Lenz.

Kati, are you still here?

Yes, I'm on my way.

Do you want to die, or what?

It's up to you to watch the road!

Hello, Elizabeth.

Hello, Kati.

In front, I would be sick.

Okay, are you starting?

Tell me where you're going.

In Oslo.

- Osloer Strasse? - No in Oslo.

Oslo, the capital of Norway.

That's where I'm going.

- In Norway ? - Yes.

But you don't have the money for that!

That should be enough.

So where is the problem ?

Can I pick up some things?

No.

A GERMAN SUBMARINE NEAR THE NORWEGIAN COASTS

A German submarine emerges in the USA.

All torpedoes are ready for launch.

One of the ships put

his lifeboats at sea.

- The crew gets on board. - Come.

The solidarity of sailors is on the move.

GERMANS, STOP THIS ATROMIC WAR

The movie starts in 10 minutes.

That means you have

exactly two hours before

returning to your seats.

- Do you know the film? - Yes.

Players ?

Hans Albers and Brigitte Horney.

Your favorite passage?

When he leaves for the moon in a balloon.

GOOD. Go for it.

I love it when he goes on a balloon ride.

And the inhabitant of the moon.

Stopped. We're not here to have fun.

I know, it's okay.

GERMANS, STOP THIS ATROMIC WAR

We go back.

Come on, come on.

GERMANS, STOP THIS ATROMIC WAR

Stop!

Hands in the air !

Stop them.

- Take cover. - Come !

Do not move !

Advance !

Quickly ! Stand up !

- We have to go. They will come back. - My friend...

It's too late for her. Come !

Hey ! What do you have ?

Leave me !

Sleeping isn't a crime yet, is it?

You were agitated. I was very afraid.

Thanks but it's okay. We have to leave.

Do you know why I'm a taxi?

Because you're 32, you failed

your studies and you need money?

No.

Because I don't have a boss.

And I don't have to put up with the hassles.

So now you stay well behaved

or I'll leave you here and you

find yourself another taxi.

Sit down and take off your stocking.

You are a doctor ?

Surgeon.

Shouldn't you be at the front?

I am a burn specialist.

I'm operating on the burnt officers here.

Don't fall again if you want to survive.

Who are you ?

Were you one of the shooters?

Which group do you work for?

You have well-placed friends.

If I worked for the Nazis, you'd

already be in a Gestapo cellar.

And I won't serve you a cognac.

To final victory!

No, to peace.

The peace.

Do you have visitors?

A patient.

I can talk to you ? It's about Grading.

Excuse me.

I don't think he'll make it through the night.

Does he take a lot of morphine?

20 mg every 12 hours.

You're leaving already ?

Yes, I have to... Thank you Doctor.

I'll take you home.

No. I prefer to be alone.

Good night.

Cute.

She would be good for you.

Or maybe for us.

What is going on ?

Where are we ?

Pardon. Some idiot cut me off.

We are in Kiel.

Don't you want to rest?

You can take the ferry alone, then another taxi.

I could.

But I don't want to.

Okay, what do you want?

Other taxis would have taken you.

Why me ?

How is your mother ?

She married for the 3rd time and lives in Cologne.

Since when have you been interested in your daughter?

How long has it been since you saw her?

And you then, since when?

We are rather distant in the family.

It's ugly here!

Kiel was a naval base.

The whole city was destroyed.

There was nothing left.

It's what ? You're ill ?

And is it serious?

It's just old age. You will see !

You're not going to Norway to die?

Isn't this your "last trip"?

Don't rejoice too quickly!

You'll have to drive me back.

They shot her.

In just one time.

That way they couldn't get her to talk.

Gertrud was not like that.

She wouldn't have spoken.

They crack everyone up.

And don't worry about prisoners anymore.

It was better for her.

Can I be absent?

Okay, but be careful.

Do you have potatoes?

No, I have ham.

No thanks.

I'm looking for potatoes.

Or flour.

In exchange for brandy.

It's tempting.

But I'm looking for an original piece of jewelry.

Sorry. I do not have.

Damage.

Do you know where to find potatoes?

No, sorry.

Maybe another time.

The black market is dangerous.

It's full of spies.

They are looking for you.

I won't always be able to save you.

Are you watching me?

I didn't believe you were a thief.

I have to.

Bye. I'm going back to work.

Commanding officer.

- Hello, Hans. - Good morning.

How was it ?

It was good.

It's getting annoying,

Doctor Elbing.

Hey, you know my name!

I inquired.

That's flattering.

Can I know yours?

Ellen Ludwig. And for the cognac.

Keep the bottle.

But I would like something in return.

We misunderstood each other.

I thought you worked for us.

For who ?

Are you thinking about resistance?

Do I look like I'm having fun?

My friend is dead!

If I gave you a gun to kill a Nazi, would you do it?

I'm not a murderer.

I want an end to this butchery.

You think your little posters

are going to stop the Nazis?

Why are you making fun of me?

I don't find it funny!

You have to quickly find a place to sleep.

And I won't pay.

I don't want to sleep in the taxi.

It's really nice talking with you.

You know what's weird?

We were living in horrible times

but we didn't realize it until afterwards.

I'm not interested in your stories.

Yes. What your mother says about

me can't be very complimentary.

She barely told me anything.

But you were never there for us.

Do you know what she calls you?

Snow Queen.

You have an ice cube instead of a heart.

It is charming...

Good morning.

Still no potatoes.

I almost stole a few.

But I couldn't.

Damage.

Pretty.

I can do without it.

Do you believe in God more?

What are you trading it for?

It's too big for my friend.

No jeweler can shrink it.

They are all in the arms factories.

It's pretty. But not very nourishing.

can I?

Your friend really has a fine finger.

There are farmers in my family.

On the maternal side.

The ring suits you very well.

Do you want to buy me?

No way.

Get off! Quickly !

Be careful, he's running away!

It'll be fine. Good luck.

To you too.

I don't know what you want

from me but stop following me!

Where do you know this guy from?

This guy?

The one you were talking to.

I just met him.

No, I had already met him yesterday.

Have you thought about my question?

I would shoot Nazis,

if it could help people or stop the war.

The English sent me here in 1941.

My position is crucial.

The officers confide their pain to me

and their military strategies.

You know my secret now.

If you say it again, we will kill you.

Serve yourself.

Real butter!

I haven't seen one in a year!

Taste it!

Why don't you have an accent?

My mother was German Jewish.

She died two years ago.

Officially tuberculosis.

But the events here killed her.

I was blind for a long time.

How so ?

My father was a tailor.

His workshop belonged to a Jew.

In November 1938, I went to

pick him up from his work and

twelve men destroyed everything.

My father wanted to stop

them, but they beat him.

He never recovered.

He died a week later.

My mother only survived him 2 months.

I have to go.

- Mrs. Lenz? - Yes.

- Your pass. - THANKS.

- Your room is on the 5th floor. - THANKS.

So where is my room?

They only had one left.

You are not serious ?

But it's a sequel.

It will be big enough for both of us.

What are you going to do ?

I know what I won't do:

listening to you talk about the good old days.

I'm not a geriatric assistant.

The “good old days” weren’t so good.

You're going to play the spy. It will be risky.

From whom ?

About a guy from a modest family

who was a courier for Kastorp and

eventually became an engineer.

What do you want from him?

Don't forget that you are one of us.

Pardon. I'm distracted.

What do we want from him?

He was promoted to 1st submarine officer.

We have the crew list: 70

submariners and 5 passengers.

German and Japanese engineers.

So what ?

We want to know his mission order.

What am I supposed to do?

Obtain as much information as possible.

But how to do it ?

I can't go ring his house!

I'll take care of everything.

Didn't you tell her too much?

Are you watching us? It doesn't look like you.

What if she reports us?

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

In fact, you're in love...

But no. It's professional.

These engineers on board prove that they...

They have a new weapon.

We have to stop this submarine.

Where did you find this fabric?

In a store, for cognac.

You should have drunk it.

No need to do the same for a man.

It never pays.

Don't tell him anything about our activities.

You would put us in danger.

Of course not.

Why is it so important?

Why are we afraid of the Japanese?

Japanese aid would set the USA back

and the war drags on.

We can't let this happen.

So?

Stunning.

Do you think I'll please him?

If you fall in love, I'll kill you.

Or I'll kill him.

Or I'll kill you.

- Good evening. - Good day sir.

- ...Ebling. - We do not know each other.

I am a friend of your son.

-And this is Ellen Ludwig. - Good evening.

Delighted. I'm going to pick up my son.

Wait, he's over there.

Let's go. See you later.

But who is it ?

God Save the King.

So who is it ?

The sailor who enters.

Who I've seen you with before.

You know him ?

No, I already told you.

I just saw it while bartering.

Funny coincidence.

It's not one of them.

When we saw each other at the

black market, I followed him, not you.

We thought he was up to something.

and that it could be used against him.

So it's me you're using?

You're a wonderful means of leverage.

Who is it ?

Who ?

The woman in a low-cut red dress.

It looks like a dragonfly.

Do you know it's a predator?

Who is that ?

The dragonfly.

- She eats other insects. - Can I

asking for your attention?

Dear guests,

welcome to our little party.

I know these are difficult times,

but we have reason to rejoice.

Until then, the secret had been well

kept, but the rumor began to spread.

I find it hard to believe it myself, but

my daughter has become reasonable

and decided to get engaged.

Furthermore, the lucky one is very dear to me.

And I predict a great future for him.

Lieutenant Captain Hans Mertens.

I raise my glass to this young couple!

- You dance ? - Of course.

You knew it ?

Will you still get there?

Don't panic, my friends.

Let's go to the cellar. There's enough room.

Don't worry.

We are safe in this corner of the city.

- Are you sure ? - I'm a spy.

Happy to see you again.

Happy and surprised.

Yes.

You know what your jewelry was used for.

Are you marrying her for interest or love?

How dare you ask me that?

I wear his ring.

I have known her since childhood.

I want Alice to be happy.

That's love, isn't it?

And he then...

Are you going to marry him?

He seems to have a good situation.

He does research on mice.

Well, it seems to me

that we can go back.

I hope the buffet is intact.

It wouldn't have been that long.

You can get it back.

No, it's yours.

Watch out !

Hans Mertens is a good guy.

But we need it in this case.

It's not a question of people.

Or did I misjudge you?

Ellen?

Miss Please !

Or are you going like this?

I'm going to see Mr. Mertens.

Do you have an appointment with him?

No.

I can't let you pass.

But it's for a surprise.

I thought we could find more.

It's for her engagement.

Yes of course.

The lieutenant will become the big boss.

So, can I come in?

Wait, I'll tell you.

It's worth getting engaged.

A young woman wants to see you.

A young woman ?

Have her wait in my office.

Heard.

Sit down for a moment.

- Mr. Mertens will arrive. - Alright.

It's you ?

Good morning.

Miss Ludwig?

I brought you something.

One minute.

I'm yours.

It's for your engagement.

Impressive !

Did you cut yourself?

Will you show me around the construction sites?

I can not. It's forbidden.

What a pity !

But I have something to show you.

It was you who did it ?

At the age of 12.

I took refuge in this world.

The sea was freedom and peace.

But today it's war.

There are no civilian submarines.

But you are right.

It's not what I imagined.

Are you still ready to leave?

I can't abandon my comrades.

Very brave. Or very cowardly...

You don't know what it is.

The worst part is not the impact,

it is the silence that follows.

We know what we're going to hear.

It starts slowly.

Like birds, stronger and stronger.

But these are men who are screaming.

We can't look each other in the eye.

We would all go crazy.

I am good with you.

Has your friend already left?

Yes. Did that bother you?

Did you want to shock me?

I need a lot more than that.

But I don't understand your love life.

For me, it's that of a rabbit.

In, out and goodbye.

My poor. In the past, it was different.

However, we were not saints.

Well, the ferry leaves soon. Hurry up.

He says nothing.

In any case, nothing about the cargo.

How long have you seen him, the little Nazi?

He's not a Nazi. He's a good guy.

Haven't you slept with him yet?

I thought you were more efficient.

Bastard!

I may not be as good as him, but I'm not going to

wait for the Nazis to win the war without taking action.

I hope we're still on the same side, you and I.

I have something for you.

This is one of the smallest models.

The objective is there, and the trigger is there.

I love you. I want to marry you after the war.

What do you want from me ?

May you help us put an end to this absurd war.

Thanks for the coffee.

Alas, I have no sugar or milk.

It doesn't matter.

Thanks.

It must be hard to be gone for so long.

We get used to it.

There are harder things in life.

What for example ?

We are forbidden to save sailors from wrecked ships.

Except the technicians and officers who have information.

We let others drown.

I'm sure you know enough to save your life.

No.

I'm not that important.

I have to go.

I just came to bring you coffee.

I wanted to thank you for the ham. You should not have.

I will find the exit. Thank you for your welcome.

You will always be welcome here.

- So? - Nothing.

I wonder what you talk about when you see each other.

He has a safe in his office, but it's inaccessible.

And he'll notice if I take the key from him.

Come see him and pour this into his coffee.

As soon as he sleeps, empty his trunk.

We'll make you run away right after.

But don't put everything. It would kill him.

U-864 would need a new officer.

That said, it would take time for them to find a replacement.

I have to tell you no.

Do you refuse to do it?

Here, look !

Lots of men are dying everywhere. English, French, and all the Jewish people.

Come on, let's put him on the bed.

What did you believe? That we put up a few posters, nothing else?

I wanted peace, and you drag me into your war!

Peace, yes... What is it for you, women?

A magic formula that fixes everything?

No, we must act. Even if it hurts.

Cleared !

Yet you saw your girlfriend die!

You too can die. Don't burden yourself with good feelings!

Without good feelings, how can we

be sure we are better than our enemies?

If you ignore it, go away!

You're too hard on the little girl.

We're going to lose her if you continue.

We're making more progress, and it's driving me crazy!

You're in love, that's what drives you crazy.

Shouldn't have sent her to seduce him, if it's so hard.

Hey, it's from high command.

Classified secret.

The Americans took Aix-la-Chapelle.

On the other front, the Russians have reached Bucharest.

How do you know ?

The BBC.

It will get worse and worse for Germany. What do you say, Hans?

It's what ?

My mission order.

I am leaving on Thursday.

Commander, the bridges may be loaded.

THANKS.

Keep this in the trunk until we sail.

We have extra cargo. We'll have to put that into perspective.

65 canisters?

But it's impossible.

We put the drinking water reserves there.

You have to put them somewhere.

Also distribute some under the bunks.

Come on !

ULTRA CONFIDENTIAL

Be careful, dammit!

Pick up and get out!

You're completely in the moon!

I see.

You think about the one waiting for you.

I shouldn't be here.

I'll get dressed, okay?

Yes.

I only have two minutes.

I'm waiting for you.

I want to touch you.

Where can we go ?

At my house.

I live with the Kastorps, but I kept my room.

It gives me a feeling...

of freedom.

However, it's miserable!

But we can see the stars.

A tea ?

Can you go out for a moment?

What ? That makes you laugh ?

I don't know what I'm doing here myself.

I! It's very cold outside.

A second.

I'm coming home!

You do not like me ?

I'm not going to come back.

Of course yes.

The war will be over, and you will live to be 90 years old.

What did you believe?

I'm engaged.

Go away !

Leave us alone!

Frieda is with us. She is an exceptional forger.

What are you going to do with the submarine?

We want his load. We're going to capture it in the Baltic Sea.

And the crew?

We'll throw them in the water.

But no ! They will be prisoners of war.

In addition, the English respect international law.

The little one has a heart.

Nowadays, it's not good.

Shut up.

You know, he fulfills his mission

but he cares about you very much.

I know how you feel.

But don't go telling Hans Mertens what you did.

Robert would never forgive you.

What are you doing here ?

Do you want to catch death?

The wind is freezing.

Agree as you like.

But before you die, give me back the money you owe me.

Take all the money you want from my suitcase.

Mom told me something else about you.

You were a spy during the war.

You said it after one too many drinks.

Your mother always had a lot of imagination.

Please. You don't know anything about her.

By the way, are you in a relationship?

It depends on the moment.

No wonder it doesn't last considering how you're managing.

I like it.

And no guy complains about it!

And you, does it happen to be pleasant?

Why don't you jump now?

I'm sure no one would miss you.

Kati...

I'm sorry.

Sorry... Do you think it's enough to say that?

You ignored us for years, you disappeared!

You play the grandmother who wants to tell her story, and that has to erase everything?

It does not interest me.

Gosh !

Go get a doctor, quickly!

What now ?

Everything is fine.

Come on...

65 canisters of mercury and

boxes, all destined for Japan.

As we thought.

They look like construction drawings.

And there, an engine.

Right in the target.

The equipment and engineers come from Heinkel.

The name Hans von Ohain comes up often.

He developed the jet engine.

This is what they take to Japan.

A prototype engine and the equipment to mass produce it.

The Japanese would control the air over the South Pacific.

Does the little girl know that the submarine will be sunk?

No, and fortunately.

Alice?

- That's it, are you leaving? - Yes.

- I'm going to get dressed. - I have something to tell you.

What ? You're scaring me.

I want to break off our engagement.

How ?

Oh I understand.

You're afraid you won't come back. You want to make things easier for me.

But do not worry.

I will wait for you all my life, if necessary.

No, it's not necessary.

I do not love you.

Alice, you are my best friend.

Not the woman I love.

That doesn't make me laugh at all...

I'm sorry.

You have no future without me. No chief engineer position,

no site management.

I can prevent you from getting a job in Germany.

I can destroy your life.

Life isn't worth much right now.

Take care of yourself, Alice.

Hans, Hans! Excuse me...

I didn't think so.

I know.

I love you and you love me too.

It has always been like this.

I know what's wrong.

It is fear, fear of death.

I'm in love with someone else.

Tell me from whom. I know her ?

The girl in the red dress?

- I have to go. - It's her ?

Hans!

Take care of yourself !

Report to the commander, head to the left!

Ready to set sail. Full crew.

THANKS.

Hello, gentlemen.

Hello, Commander!

What did you do to Hans?

To Hans? For what ?

What are you talking about ?

Do not make fun of me. It's humiliating enough.

What do you want from me ?

I wanted to look you in the face.

- I'm going to work. - But I have to know.

What have you done together?

Nothing.

We saw each other sometimes.

That's all. Hans never touched me.

He broke off our engagement.

Because of you.

No need to lie to me.

Where is he there?

In his damn submarine!

Where are you going ? Where are you going ?

He must have already left and will never come back.

He will never come back again!

- Operational vessel. - GOOD.

Fitting procedure.

At the maneuvering station!

At the maneuvering station!

Ready for the maneuver.

THANKS.

Crew at the maneuvering station.

Stop! Stop!

Hans! Hans!

I think it's for you.

Don't make that face.

I'm not dead yet.

Give me a schnapps instead.

I got the fright of my life. I'll never do that again.

Are you sure alcohol is recommended in your case?

Absolutely.

What are you going to do in Norway?

I'm going to a funeral mass.

Who died ?

I was sincere earlier.

I'm sorry I took so little care of you

at the time. Of your mother and you.

But I lost so much during the war...

So much so that I

forgot how to behave.

with the people I love.

Your mother never understood it.

And believe me, it still saddens me today.

Okay, so, is this spy story true?

Spying. Big words right away.

I was just a small link in the chain.

I wanted to serve good.

In the end, it only complicated things.

The day is over. You will finish tomorrow.

- That will be enough. - No, I'm finishing this.

I missed you.

For what ? You got what you wanted.

Do you think it was just self-interest?

I organized a passage for us to England via the Netherlands.

Why would I leave?

To live with me. To marry me.

What ?

It's time to go.

I can not.

So are you in love with the little Nazi?

Why does he fascinate you?

Because he's not using me.

You're just playing roles.

The passionate lover is just one among others.

You use love when it suits you.

The war must end. Nothing else matters.

You seemed okay with that.

I gave you real missions. It’s a change from putting up posters!

And now you blame me?

Because of one of them?

Hans is not one of them.

Why this ?

Because he doesn’t yell “Heil Hitler” and doesn't have a skull on his shirt?

The Nazis are pillaging and killing

everywhere, and your lover is one of them.

Even if he doesn't meet his victims' eyes.

Being under water directly washes away sins.

Ellen, he's not coming back.

So you lied to me.

It's not me who decides.

I deliver the information.

We can't take any risks with this cargo.

The submarine will be sunk.

Our convoy leaves on Sunday.

Please come.

I need to be alone. Go away.

It's not safe to have already gotten up.

I've never been really careful.

Besides, what was prudent at the time?

Caution only got you so far.

So we lived each day as if it were our

last. We deal with it. You know what I mean ?

Of course. No need to jump into a relationship at the last minute.

When it's a wonderful story...

Intoxicating...

which surpasses all the rest,

when you know you've met the love of your life...

the person you trust the most

and with which you want to grow old...

the person...

who, thanks to his love,

manages to make you forget

the atrocities that surround you,

Is it worth it?

And you found it?

Yes, I had found it.

But you are unconscious! Why did you tell her?

Why not ?

Because she's going to go to the Gestapo to save her lieutenant?

She could confide in someone in her group.

And the Nazis could show up here in a matter of hours.

Unless she commits suicide.

But why ?

This life has little value, and people quickly give it up.

Especially when all hope is taken away from you.

Give Bôhring his injection.

Where are you going? You can't go out!

Come on, kids! In the basement !

To the shelters! Quickly !

- Come on, let's hurry. - Come !

Don't hang around!

What is happening ? Come.

Mille Ludwig, are you deaf?

Come on, we have to go down.

Go to the cellar!

Come on stand up ! Hurry up !

If you want to die, that's up to you.

Ellen!

It's imminent.

U-864 is progressing towards the North, as planned.

The Seawarrior will soon sink it.

And after ?

I'm leaving for England with Ellen.

You can't force her to go.

I know how to be convincing.

Immersion of 100 meters.

Stop the diesels, bring in the snorkel.

Launch of electrics!

Everyone back!

Quickly, quickly, faster!

Faster, faster!

Hurry!

Again, again, again!

Move forward!

Stabilized. Depth 100 meters.

Damage report.

Damaged water pipe.

The port diesel rows.

The shaft line suffered.

I'm going to the back.

What's the point ? We are at his mercy.

Change of course, left! Engines forward!

The bearing will not hold.

If we don't try anything, we'll be screwed.

Stop! Or the shaft line will seize up!

No way !

Could you stand it?

No.

I still can't stand it.

Why didn't you tell mom about it?

I had my reasons.

That's enough...

The “no one understands me, so I don’t say anything” thing lasts 5 minutes.

Hold on...

You're the one who told me you weren't interested in that old stuff.

Since you dragged me here,

I might as well know why.

I have to finish something.

- Where is Robert? - Currently operating.

Don't you think the soup is liquid enough?

Did you fall in love with Mertens?

It's none of your business.

I am not stupid.

And I know Robert well.

He's a good man.

But he expects the same rigor from us.

He loves you.

But you already know that.

I see Hans Mertens through him!

He's there, locked up.

in this submarine, this icy sea...

It's like I'm dying with him.

Besides, I deserve it.

You did the right thing.

So why does this seem so horrible to me?

I have to go.

Wait, I have to tell you something.

I like you.

Your Hans is alive.

The submarine suffered damage in Norway. He'll stay there for a while.

I've got to go.

Forget that. This destination is reserved

for military and medical personnel.

By order of the general staff or with a safe conduct.

Robert told me you were an excellent forger.

My sympathy has limits.

Why join him? To prevent it?

It's not a good idea.

If you tell Mertens you were spying on

him, do you think he won't do anything?

He will notify his commander and his comrades.

And you will be executed.

He will be court martialed.

And will suffer the same punishment.

So let it go.

But rejoice that he is alive.

I don't plan to warn him.

I just want to be with him.

As long as I can.

- How does it look? - Not very well.

The spare parts did not withstand the 1st test.

Damned saboteurs. The engine is ruined.

It makes a terrible noise.

The tree line too.

New parts must be ordered.

We will be 15 days late.

How are we going to get out of this?

Papers, please.

THANKS.

Your papers please.

Are you going to Trondheim?

At Hôss hospital.

Are we still sending nurses there?

There is a lot of tuberculosis.

- Have a good trip. - THANKS.

Where is she ?

I do not know. The last time I checked, she was missing.

Why didn't you warn me?

I have a service to run.

I'm not your girlfriend's personal doctor.

She's not my girlfriend.

So why are you upset?

Good morning.

I'm looking for Miss Ludwig.

She is hard at work.

You're lying. His workshop was bombed.

In any case, she's not there.

Where is Ellen?

I hope you still have some left.

You should look for another job.

Driving seems to make you nervous.

No, it's lack of sleep.

Even though when I think about it, everything annoys me.

But I have someone to take care of.

Why did you do that ?

Why did you come all the way here?

I mean...back then.

To warn him? To confess?

Or really just to see it?

Impossible to say. I never knew.

I just knew that I couldn't and didn't

want to live in these conditions anymore.

Good.

Here we are.

What is happening ?

They found something.

A submarine.

But yes, I'm stupid!

I saw it on the news.

The submarine.

Let's not hang around. We receive the parts the day after tomorrow and we leave.

That's all for today. There's trouble in the air.

Be careful, there's someone there!

It's a girl.

She is dead.

Frozen to death.

Let's leave her.

Ellen. Ellen!

What are you doing here ?

I love you.

Where are we ?

At General Klakow's.

Norway's highest military leader.

He lives here when he's in town.

He lets you take advantage of it?

Actually... I didn't ask him.

- Attention. - Yes.

Look at.

Marinated herring as a starter,

head cheese as a main course,

with pickles,

and peaches in syrup for dessert.

What do you say ?

- We need a can opener. - You're right.

I was 8 years old when my parents died.

My uncle and my aunt took me in.

However, they were not rich.

They even rationed themselves because of me.

A growing child eats like four.

So I left.

But they found me

and told me that I mattered more than a full belly.

They are surely good people.

You will meet them.

As soon as the war is over.

We will do so many things after the war.

I have to tell you something.

Be careful. You're going to overwork yourself again.

- It is the house ? - Yes.

In the end, maybe it was a mistake to come back.

The train which contained the parts was bombed last night.

Fate persists.

You have to reorder.

The high command of the navy orders us to leave.

Whatever the conditions.

That means with a faulty engine that you can hear from afar.

Mertens...

The order comes from the Führer.

If we don't obey, we will be shot.

I don't know what you think,

but I'd rather die in battle.

Ellen.

I'm sorry.

You're exaggerating to come home so late even before the wedding.

Are you setting sail?

Tomorrow at 6 am.

You don't have to leave.

Hans... The English know everything.

About the cargo, your journey and your secret mission.

They want to sink you.

How do you know ?

I work for English spies.

I had to extract information from you

and report it discreetly to my superior.

So you've been using me this whole time?

No, I loved you at first sight.

Why would I believe you?

Do you find this funny?

You're really adorable.

Inventing such a ruse so that I stay... You, spy...

Next time, study Mata Hari and practice.

Ellen.

I, too, loved you right away.

And I will always love you.

This may be our last night.

So let's not mourn my departure.

Instead, let’s make this night unforgettable.

Is that an unforgettable night for you?

Come on, I’ll help you!

No thanks, it's already hard enough for me.

Great idea. We're going to freeze to death.

Or break your neck.

I'm not going to break anything.

I am an excellent skater.

And you claim to be an excellent skater!

You're quite the excellent liar!

Above all, I am an excellent lover.

Pretentious!

Just now,

I told you the truth.

That's to say ?

It wasn't a trick.

I really informed English intelligence.

They know your cargo and your route.

The attack on your submarine was planned.

If you leave, you will die.

How do you know?

I photographed your files when I took you out of your house.

The enemy knows your secret weapon.

It will never arrive in Japan.

So stay here.

Please.

I'm sorry.

Not me.

If you hadn't done that,

we wouldn't have gotten closer, and you wouldn't be here.

Does that mean you believe me?

Yes.

Where are you going ?

Gather my things.

No, you're not going to collect anything.

But you're not too mad at me then?

Aren't you disappointed?

Or angry?

I love you, Ellen.

You must have realized that.

Hans?

Hans?

“Ellen darling, “I don’t know if

you told me the truth or not,

“but that doesn’t change much.

“We’re going to leave and there’s nothing I can do about it.

“Impossible to abandon my comrades.

"My little British spy, "wears the

ring, and I will always be there.

"Bye. Your Hans.”

He didn't believe you, actually?

It didn't matter to him.

At the time, submariners

everyone knew they were in danger of dying.

I'd like to be alone for a bit, okay?

Who are you ? What do you want ?

Wait, a second! You hear me ?

I can't stay here.

U-864 left Bergen.

Our destroyer will pick them up on the way.

Warn the men.

Tell them to position themselves on their route.

And to wait.

Stop!

We have an agreement.

If you don't respect it, don't count on us.

I should have known you were behind all this.

I'm not responsible.

Who are these brutes then?

Norwegian resistance fighters.

What did you believe?

That sleeping with your little bastard would go unnoticed here?

Do you think it's a game?

You have been wanted by the English services since your departure.

What did you tell him ? What does he know about me?

Does he know that we know their cargo and the route they are taking?

I tried to explain to him.

But I'm not sure he believed me.

He probably can't accept that I'm a spy.

Sincere men are like that.

Unable to imagine.

that not everyone is like them.

You don't know that, you...

These men acted independently.

I convinced the Norwegians that you should be tried in England.

So you have to come with me.

We're really making a terrible racket.

We might as well go back to the surface and shout around that we're here.

I did what I could.

There is nothing to do.

I'm an engineer, not a magician.

I don't think we were attacked by chance.

So the English know our route?

It's possible.

Not so fast.

You're going to feel unwell again, and I don't want to carry you.

What exactly do you want to do?

I want to go out to sea.

In these boats?

It's not a good idea. Truly not.

Are you seasick or something?

I don't know.

The first time I took the boat was the ferry with you.

Are you not serious?

I live in Berlin. Why would I take the boat?

Back and forth on the Havel?

Now is the time to try.

- I'm going to talk to the fishermen. - They won't understand you.

I lived in England. I have two hands, two feet and money.

With that, anyone can understand me.

Slight propeller noise to port.

It's what ? A destroyer?

I do not see anything.

It's not a boat. It's a submarine.

- We don't have anyone around here. - Probably English people.

They are less than 2000 meters away.

Heading for 270. We maintain the immersion.

Choke on it.

We missed the submarine.

They had to change course.

But the sound of an underwater engine is reported. Enemy presence.

That the Venturer maintains contact and gives his position regularly.

They have to sink U-864.

The Venturer is a submarine.

He can't do that.

They are blind, but with sonar they betray their position.

The commander thinks he can reach the enemy through noise.

They maintain their periscopic position.

He can see them.

Alright. It's his ship... His decision.

Return to your cell.

What are you doing ?

There's nothing more you can do, Ellen.

The enemy has changed course.

To starboard, all. And the two engines forward.

They hear us. We have to slow down.

No, we would be too slow.

They change course and follow us.

If you love me, help me!

Stop them from killing these men.

I'm not on a mission here. I have nothing to say.

- Do not do that ! - Get her out.

They're just soldiers. Pity !

- I don't hear anything anymore. - What does she want?

The man I love is on board.

They approach again.

I knew it. It's no coincidence.

They were waiting for us.

The Venturer is getting closer.

- What is she saying ? - That the man she loves is on board.

The man you love?

He and his comrades are men, just like you.

They have wives and children waiting for them.

We have all lost people we loved.

Who do you think lies beneath the ruins in London?

He says we've all lost people we love.

We must try everything against the Nazis. Go outside !

Pity ! Pity !

- No ! No ! - Bring her back.

The enemy fled in a zigzag pattern. He tries to escape.

No ! No !

Torpedo approaching!

Immersion of 80 meters.

Immediate immersion.

Torpedo approaching!

Quickly ! Immersion of 100 meters.

Ellen. Ellen. They are our enemies.

We have been fighting them for years.

They killed your friend! Remember what you were fighting for!

Stabilized. Depth 100 meters.

I wish you would tell your mother

that I ended up marrying Robert.

Once in London.

It's time she knew that.

Are we not talking about the same Robert?

But if !

I was pregnant.

From Hans. And I wanted to keep the child.

It was the one, the only thing

that I had left of him.

In prison, they would have taken my baby.

But Robert had connections.

Influential and rich people.

And I wasn't prosecuted. He saved me from prison.

Mom was born in England.

So Hans was my grandfather?

I thought he died on the Russian front during the war.

I waited until your mother was 6 months old,

and I left Robert.

I returned to Germany with the baby.

Your mother never lacked for anything.

Neither food nor love.

It was the dearest thing I had.

Why did you almost cut ties?

As she grew up, she started asking questions

regarding his father.

It became difficult.

Do you realize this?

It was only me who killed his father.

And all those other men on the submarine.

I couldn't tell him that.

I was responsible for their horrible deaths.

There were 66 young submariners.

I still remember their names.

Christian Giere...

Ernst Hauer...

Erik Kiwitt...

Biologists wondered what had been done at the wreck site.

They regretted not being able to talk to you when I said your name.

I told them you were gone again.

They gave me this for you.

It's from the submarine.

They figured it was meant for you.

They say it's a miracle it resisted the water.

“Ellen darling,

“I have little time left to write to you.

“But I know you told me the truth.

"Although I doubt anyone will find this letter,

“I wanted to tell you that I forgive you.

“We had little time together, but it was wonderful.

“If my end has come, I thank you for this gift.

“Lovingly, your Hans.”
