[Down-tempo music plays]

[ Indistinct conversations]

Excuse me.

L...l must tell you what I know.

Just a moment.

I was reading her a story,
and she disappeared.

She just vanished.
That is what happened.

Please.
I must tell you what I know.

[ Indistinct conversations]

We'll do better on our own.
Come on.

All right.

So what happened
with the little man?

I mean, what --
what was he doing with Lotte?

He was telling her a story.

I was right in the room
next door.

I could hear him reading to her.
His voice --

No.
That's not all he was doing.

Oh, Christ.

What?

We don't want them having
anything to do with this.

DIETER:
Why did somebody call them?

Because they think
you're important, that's why.

[ Indistinct conversations]

What's that?
What's that?!

DIETER:
Come on. Come on. Come on.

You should think
where your brother might be,

where he likes to visit.

What are his favorite places
in the city?

There's a lot of those.

He likes to roam around a lot.

What does he do
when he roams about?

He collects things.

He picks things up
off the pavement,

off bomb sites --
anything that catches his eye.

What's he got in his room?
Shouldn't we go there?

No. The police have been there.
There's no trace of them.

No, no, no.
Of course.

But maybe if we look
at what he's collected,

that might tell us something.

- There's a lot of stained glass.
- Then we need a church.

Does he have a favorite church?

[Train passing]

Has anyone seen a man
with a young girl,

with a child?

Does anyone here know Victor?!

I know Victor.

He's often here.

Sometimes he sleeps here.

Not seen him tonight, though.

Right.
So this is one of his churches.

Then we have to do every church
we can!

So, Lotte,
if we manage this right,

we really will reach
the countryside.

[ Indistinct conversations,
laughter]

Hello, gentlemen.

I need some petrol coupons and
will pay handsomely for them.

So who's gonna be the lucky one?

Women aren't allowed in here,
love.

MAN: It's not a good idea to go
out dressed like that, love.

Oh, our -- our house
just collapsed.

The whole ceiling came down.

Bang -- just like that.

So we must be on our travels.

Who's gonna help us?

Any news?
Any news at all?

No. No.
Not yet.

- Where have you been, sir?
- We've been in church.

Just get them out of the hotel.
Just get rid of them.

- I don't know how to do that.
- Okay.

Keep them away from me,
at least.

Oh, what are they doing here?

Nothing.
No.

We came to see if we could help.
Of course we can't help.

I mean, you will have thought of
absolutely everything.

But we wanted to be here.

You really didn't need to
do that.

Well, the party was well
and truly over.

We had to come.

[Mid-tempo music plays]

This is more like it,
isn't it, Lotte?

A bit of countryside.

A bit of clean air.

It's so beautiful.

It's like the blitz
all over again.

Everybody's staying close
in case they are needed.

[ Dishes rattling]

Sorry it took so long, sir.

They will find your daughter,
sir, I'm sure.

Thank you.

He's doing everything he can.

No, no.
Thank you.

Now it's light,
we stand a much better chance.

I, uh, managed to get it
on the radio --

on the first bulletins.

And my brother stands out a mile
wherever he goes,

and with a little girl in tow...

Why is everybody so worried
about your brother?

Well, that's simple.

They think he's mad.

[Birds chirping]

VICTOR:
Okay. Here we are, Lotte.

So get on the back seat and just
lie down as if you're asleep.

Don't say anything.

[Mid-tempo music playing
on radio]

Fill her up, please.

As much as I can get for these.

[Cows lowing in distance]

You know, you shouldn't be
smoking while you're doing that.

Are you telling me what to do,
are you?

Get your daughter out of the car
if you don't like it.

I've only been doing this
six weeks.

You think this --

this is what I want to do
with the rest of my life?

Leave somewhere suddenly,
did you?

Sir!

There's been a sighting of them,
sir,

at a petrol station in Sussex.

- They've seen them?
- Yes.

There's an Army base
very close by.

They're sending out a patrol
now.

No, no, no, no, no.

That is not the right move
at all.

They must use the local police.
All right.

Get me the commanding officer
on the phone now.

If they go in,
they're gonna start shooting.

Is there anyone following us,
Lotte?

-[ Brakes squeak]
- Let's go.

Come on.

Okay, Lotte.

You're not safe with me, okay?

You've got to go.

Get over that way
and go as far as you can.

- Go. Quick! Quick!
- MAN: You are surrounded.

- Go. Go.
- And we are armed.

We know you are here!

Stand up with your arms up
and walk towards us!

Okay?

Here I am.
A nice target.

Why don't you have a go?

I don't think
you can really miss, can you?

Lotte.

[speaking German]

Get out of the car.
Get out of the car -- now.

Come on!
What the hell were you thinking?

What on earth possessed you
to do that'?!

No.
Don't yell at me.

They are gonna lock you up now,

and I'm not gonna be able to do
a single thing about it.

That's a brilliant result,
isn't it, Victor?

You might find this surprising,
but if they don't lock him up,

I may be able to help you
with your brother.

CALLUM:
Well, they will lock him up.

[ Bell tolling]

[Engines humming,
men shouting]

You've been very lucky,
Ferguson.

Amazingly lucky.

Lucky?

I've been lucky?

WAINWRIGHT: The German
is very grateful to you

for the way you behaved
over his daughter.

That's why you've been lucky.

We're finally making progress.

I want you to stay with him
until he delivers.

Until he delivers?
Well, that could be months.

Supersonic speed
is the only thing that matters

at the moment.

Breaking the sound barrier.
Boom.

And we have to do that
before the Americans

or the Russians, of course.

Your German --

- My German?
- Yes.

Your German can really help us
do that, can't he?

He trusts you now.

We need you to build
on this new friendship

till he's done it for us.

That's all you have to do.

Most people would kill
for such a job.

I'm not gonna do it.

Oh, yes, you are.

Shall I tell you why?

Because your brother
has committed

a series of criminal offenses --

abducting a child,
stealing a car.

He will go to prison
unless I stop it happening.

So you're blackmailing me.

What are you gonna do with
your life now if you refuse?

This way,
you've got the run of the hotel,

lots of free time to do what you
want, work out your future.

You're doubly,
maybe trebly lucky.

Well, I'm certainly not
if I've got Ml5 or MI19

or any other bloody outfit
on my back.

That's over.
That's all stopped.

If you do this, Ferguson,

we'll get your brother
good treatment in a hospital.

Absolutely not.

No, I'm not having him locked up
in one of your asylums.

I will take care of my brother.

VICTOR: So what have you
arranged with them, then?

They're gonna strap me down,
are they,

put wires all over my head,
give me electric shocks?

Come with me.

Mind you, you probably get
incredible dreams

-when they fry you like that.
- Come with me.

I just need to have a word
with my brother in private.

What a beautiful place.

The Army won't want to give any
of these houses back, will they?

I wonder where all the aristos
have moved to.

Well, they'll pop up again soon,
I expect.

Victor, you're not going
to prison, all right?

They're not gonna press charges.

Why not?

They gonna lock me away
in a hospital?

No. You're to go back
to Mrs. Tooley.

You did a deal, didn't you?

They want you to go on working
with the German.

Well, why not?

Well, you've always loved that,
haven't you?

Flying, speed, building
the fastest plane in the world.

Why shouldn't you do it?

There is one condition, though.

And that's that you don't go
anywhere near the little girl

-or back to the hotel.
- No.

If you do,
you will be locked up, Victor.

Do you promise
you won't try and see Lotte

or go back to the hotel?

I didn't abduct her.
You know that.

She was running away
from a horrible man.

Do you promise?

Of course.

Well, you better bloody mean it.

I still have to live, don't I?

And I was really hoping
to just get a job at the hotel,

just being a porter
or something.

Nobody else will give me a job.

Well, it is possible I may be
able to do something about that.

[Telephone ringing,
typewriter clicking ]

So they've got a whole floor
up there, have they?

Yes.

With a lot of files,
it looks like.

And they absolutely deny
it exists.

And official priorities have
become even clearer, apparently.

They're now going to get hold
of every German

who might be useful to them
before it's too late.

And it doesn't matter
what they've done.

Surely that can change.
Something can change that.

[Clock chiming]

There you are.

The two brothers.

We haven't been
formally introduced, Victor.

My name's Harold Lindsay-Jones.

- So pleased to meet you.
- Are you?

Well, seeing you up close,
Victor,

you don't look mad to me.

Not mad at all.

Please be seated.

So, uh, Mr. Lindsay-Jones --

Harold, please.

Harold, you were saying
you might have some things

for Victor to do --
some odd jobs around the house.

I'm not terrific at cleaning.

I thought I'd better
make that clear right away.

Cleaning is not
what I had in mind, no.

This library was a passion
both for my wife and myself.

We loved books.

Since she died,
it hasn't been quite the same.

What do you notice, Victor,
about this library?

What do you see?

What do I see?

Uh, the books are not
in the right order.

They're in no order at all,
in fact --

neither alphabetically by author
or by title

or by subject.

Exactly.

You've spotted it at once.

During the blitz,
I had all the books removed,

at great expense to the country.

When they returned, the removal
men put them back in any order.

I didn't have the heart
to do anything about it.

I will pay you, Victor,

to arrange the books
alphabetically by author

and, when you've done that,
to arrange this overflow

on some new shelves
in the room next door.

Can you do that?

I can do that.
Yes.

That's terrific.

By the way,
I'm not just doing this

out of the kindness of my heart,

as I'm sure
you will have guessed.

There is something

that I may need your brothers
help with in due course.

Something that interests me
intensely.

So until Monday morning.

Ah.
This is Lucy, my ward.

- This is Victor Ferguson.
- Hello, Victor.

Lucy is about to go back
to Oxford.

So I won't see much of you,
Victor.

Ah.

Then you won't have to worry

about me being alone
in the house with her.

- Victor.
- I wasn't worried about that.

- No.
- Quite right.

In fact, despite appearances
to the contrary,

it's my brother
you really have to worry about.

I'm gonna get him out of here
before you withdraw your offer.

My brother needs looking after,
too. You ought to believe me.

Hi!

-[ Knock on door]
- DIETER: Come in.

I don't want to disturb you,

especially in the middle
of a chess lesson.

I just came to say
that we're off in the morning

to show you your new office.

Good. I'll be very interested
to see what they've given to me.

And you're coming too, Lotte.

I've been looking for you.

We need to have a word.

No, no.
Please.

[Breathing heavily]

No.

[Gasp$]

Now, what were you doing
to that little girl?

I was just reading her a slory.

That is all it was.

[ Grunts I

What were you doing
to that little girl?

Nothing.
Nothing!

[ Grunts I

Please.
Please!

I can tell you something
if you stop --

something that will interest you
about room 602.

Tell me some other time.

Captain Ferguson?

You're gonna pack your bags.

You're gonna book yourself
out of the hotel tonight.

And you're never,
ever gonna come back!

[ Grunts, whimpers ]

Are you all right?

Oh, absolutely.

Mr. Lombard is waiting for you
in the conservatory bar, sir.

He said you had an appointment.

[Mid-tempo music playing]

[ Indistinct conversations]

There you are.
At last.

I've had to listen
to this bloody music

for at least half an hour.

Are you all right?

Yes.

I just had a little matter
to attend to.

I hear you really are running
the hotel now.

[Laughs]

He's gonna be here
a little while,

so maybe we will get to hear him
play the piano.

He'll be up there next week.

ALEX: So, you're staying here
for a bit'?

It seems that way, yes.

Looking after my German.

You know, I can't really work
out our friend Mr. Ferguson.

He never gives me
a straight answer.

Oh, he's doing something
very hush-hush, obviously,

keeping us all in this hotel
as part of it.

I don't know
what the hell it is, though,

what he's up to.

ALEX:
You know, I envy you.

You envy me, Alex?

Well, that's a mistake
I promise.

I'm gonna be unemployed
quite soon.

Yes, but for now you control
how you spend your day.

I have to work so hard at the
moment at the Foreign Office.

It's so bloody competitive, and
the hours are unbelievably long.

And I feel I have to stay later
than anybody else

because I had such a cushy time
during the war in Washington.

I have to be seen
to be working the hardest.

I need to ask you a favor,
Callum.

A favor'?
Of course.

Will you have lunch with Rachel?

You know all about music
and everything,

and I know nothing about the
arts, and I'm totally tone-deaf,

and she needs to talk to someone
about her ideas.

Will you do it?

Please.

[Mid-tempo music plays]

[Airplane engines humming]

Right.

I'm gonna show you your rather
poky little office now, Dieter.

[Music continues]

This is all yours, Dieter.

Looks big enough.
Do you think?

This may just be big enough,
yes.

Naturally,
you have a Spitfire here.

Oh, of course.

Now, that is to inspire you.

This place used to be full
of hundreds of people

during the war.

And now there's only me.

This is Rita.

She's gonna be working with you.

I'm very glad to hear this.

I'm Dieter Koehler.

CALLUM: Rita and I used to work
together before the war.

She knows a lot
about jet engines.

Not as much as you, of course.

But, uh, I-I know something.

You see, Lotte, Rita and I used
to work for this wonderful man

who invented the jet engine --
Mr. Frank Whittle.

Well, we Germans might dispute
that -- that you were the first.

And then our government
refused to give him the money

that he needed to develop
his invention.

So we lost our lead.

And now your dad is gonna
help us get it back again

by breaking the sound barrier.

A plane that goes really,
really fast -- supersonic fast.

[Airplane engines humming]

So, do I get my own car now

so I can drive myself here
every day?

You don't get that yet, no.

You might drive somewhere
we don't want you to.

[ Door opens]

Ah.

Thank you for finding that.

There may be various
little documents

from the Foreign Office
that I should have given back,

some even marked secret.

Like this one.

So, Victor, you've begun, I see.

Yes, I have.

My progress will vary, though.

How quick I am

will depend on how often
the books interrupt me.

I see.

[ Down-tempo music playing]

I'm late. I know.
And I'm so sorry.

Don't worry.
I was expecting it.

I know you're always late.

I'm not always late.

You forget I'm still
in the Army. ..sort of.

So you mean you're only late
for me.

I quite understand.

I took the liberty.

I hope you don't mind.
I've ordered us some ice cream.

- Some ice cream?
- Mm-hmm.

Well, that's bold, isn't it?

- Because last time --
- It was disgusting, yes.

But today I have a plan.

You asked for it
in these tall glasses, ma'am?

I did.

It's just they're rather large
for ice cream.

Oh, no. It's perfect.
Thank you.

It's really good of you
to see me, Cal.

Oh, don't be silly.
I was happy to.

Alex said you wanted to talk
to me about some of your ideas.

Mm-hmm,

About getting involved in music
and.. .theater.

You know, on the --
on the funding s-- I'm sorry.

I-I can't help wondering
what you're gonna do with that.

I have come prepared.

This ice cream was a challenge

that I was determined
to take on.

Late berries of summer.

Cooking in public.
Hm,

It's obscene, isn't it?

I'm probably breaking
all the rules.

- Do you want some?
- Oh, absolutely.

And this --
this is my masterstroke.

[Laughs]

A dash of alcohol.

Will we get thrown out,
do you think?

No, no.

They'll be queuing up
at our table in a minute.

Well, one has to make one's own
excitement, doesn't one?

Even out of ice cream.

What does it taste like?

Now, that is rather wonderful.

Mm,

It's pretty good.

So...Cal.

Here we go.

My husband.

- Alex.
- No. My last husband.

Sorry.
I meant to say my late husband.

It's a brilliant start.
Sorry.

No.
My, uh, late husband.

He, uh, he was much older
than me,

and he died very suddenly.

He left me rather a lot
of money.

He -- He adored the arts,

and he taught me a great deal
about how to appreciate them.

He introduced me
to all sorts of things

in a really wonderful way.

And now I'm here.

And, uh, well, I thought
that you could be my guide,

a starting point for me
about how to go about all this.

Because I-I don't want to be
this wealthy American

blundering about,
offering people money

that they might not even want.

They might run a mile thinking
that I want to interfere.

That again.

You're always so worried
about how things might seem,

you know,
what people might think.

Well, that's not so foolish.

I want to get this right.

And anyway, that's not true.

I've just done some
very public cooking, haven't I?

Well, there is one problem.

I don't know anybody
in the arts.

Yes, but I can discuss things
with you, can't I,

as Alex suggested --

rehearse my plans, who it might
be a good idea to approach?

And you have the time,
haven't you, Callum?

Yes, I might have.

There's my German to look after
and our secret office.

No, no, no.
Don't tell me.

You've got to keep your secrets.

I don't want you being
thrown out of the hotel.

[Telephone ringing]

Yes?

Hello.
This is Kathy Griffiths.

Can I speak to Captain Ferguson,
please?

- Ah, Miss Griffiths.
- You remember me, do you?

Of course we remember you,
Miss Griffiths.

KATHY:
I'm glad to hear it.

So can you put me through
to Captain Ferguson?

You want to speak
to Captain Ferguson?

I'm afraid he's not here
at the moment.

He's not.

May I ask where you are?

I'm in his office.

Ah.

That very small office
I was shown?

Can you tell him
I need to meet him

and maybe he can give me a time.

Yes.
I will pass on that message.

Tell him I have something
to give him.

[ Receiver rattles]

There's no getting rid of her,
is there?

[Girls shouting]

[speaking German]

[Girls laughing]

Whee!

Whee!

[ Grunts I

Careful, children.

You do not run in the passage.

Never run in the passage.

Are you all English?

[speaking German]

What did he say?

Yes?

Do you have any chocolate,
please, sir?

Do I have some chocolate?

That depends.

It depends on you being
good children.

Are you good children?

Are you?

Then you may have the chocolate.

[Bell tolling in distance,
footsteps approaching ]

Hello, Victor.

I just came to say goodbye.
I'm off this morning.

Oh. What a pity.
We've hardly spoken.

Well, you never know.

You might still be here
when I get back.

You mean it looks like
I'll lake forever to do this?

No.

It seems you've made
a real difference already.

You will look after each other,
won't you?

I know he misses me
far more than he says.

My specialty, of course --
looking after other people.

Ah.
There you are, Lucy.

Well, Victor, I see you're
making a little progress.

Yes. I'm at a very crucial
stage, as it happens.

Good.

And to make things even easier,

I think it's time we dealt with
these shutters, don't you?

They're kept closed because
the sun is meant to be bad

for some of these
valuable books.

But to hell with it.
It's raining anyway.

Time to ignore these rules,
don't you think?

That's so much nicer.

It's always a good idea
ignoring rules.

[Mid-tempo music plays]

Miss Griffiths.

Thank you for making time
to see me, Captain Ferguson.

Of course.

Though I didn't think
you'd want to see me again.

What would you like to drink?

I'm not here to have a drink.

I came to show you these.

Who took these?

I did.

I have to say I've seen more
flattering pictures of myself.

I always knew
you were lying to me

about not having another office
here.

I don't know why you
simply didn't own up about it,

tell me I couldn't see it.

I mean, that way,
you might have got rid of me.

I could say I had to lie
about it.

It's officially secret.

It's illegal to tell people
about it.

But I'm not saying that.

Really?
So what are you saying?

I'm saying
that I'll take you up there.

[ Indistinct talking on radio,
typewriter clicking ]

It's quite an operation
you've got here.

It is, yes.

I'm not going to introduce you
to everybody,

as this is an informal visit.

Could we all go to lunch,
take a particularly early lunch?

Well, blimey.
That normally causes a stampede.

Now, come on!
Lunch! Please!

I've got some pictures
to show you now.

Why have you brought me here?

Because I know
you're not going to

let me look in
all these files, are you?

Oh, you're quite right.
I'm not.

KATHY:
So why do it, then?

I can't see any advantage
to you.

CALLUM: Rather an ugly
collection, I admit.

These five Germans
all have vital information,

some about the workings
of Soviet intelligence,

some about the latest
development in armaments

and technology.

I can't give you
all the details, obviously,

and this happened
before I was even here.

But they've all been
spirited away.

Now they've been taken
to safe houses,

been given new identities.

And why?

Because they all have knowledge

that is crucial for the defense
of this country.

And none of them --
none of them --

are on your wanted list.

Mm,

You made sure you chose
the right file.

-[ Door opens]
- WOMAN: Oh, I'm sorry, sir.

I beg your pardon.

We thought we'd clean this room
now.

We saw everyone leaving
for lunch.

We thought it was a good moment.

Right. Well, let's get out
of this place, shall we?

What's the matter'?

You expecting somebody
to be following us?

Well, maybe.

I mean, the cleaners looked
shocked to see me in that room.

Ah. They're our secret cleaners,
with security passes.

Very few people know
about that floor in the hotel.

You must really like that --
the secrecy of it all.

Of course, nobody gets to see
what's in those files.

So you broke
the Official Secrets Act for me?

Why exactly?

To get rid of you.

You just said
if I hadn't lied to you,

you would have gone away.

So I think there's a very good
chance of that working.

Don't you?

Or, of course, it could have
exactly the opposite effect.

You know, it's lunchtime,

and I fancy something
rather sweet for lunch --

something with a lot of sugar
in it.

Since I've not been able
to get rid of you yet,

maybe you'd like to join me.

Something sweet for lunch?

That -- That's crazy.

You can't get sugar anywhere,
especially not 'round here.

[ Dog barking in distance]

This is definitely
my first toffee apple

since before the war.

I'm not sure eating them here
was such a brilliant idea.

- Making people jealous
- Yes.

Well, however many children gawp
at us,

I am not going to feel guilty.

It's difficult to make you feel
guilty, isn't it?

I was waiting for you to say
something like that.

I'm sorry,
but showing me that file

and buying me a toffee apple --

It's hardly going to change
what I think.

Which is?

That it is extraordinary
that only a year ago

crimes were being committed,

people were being murdered on
an unimaginable scale in camps,

and yet somehow it seems
that that's just a side issue

for nearly everybody.

Not remotely as serious
as beating the Russians

or getting ahead
of the Americans.

Those are the only things
that count now.

That's shocking, isn't it?

Ah. Put like that?

Yeah, it is shocking.
Of course.

How else could you put it
so it doesn't sound shocking?

Some people might say that if we
don't make national security

our first priority,

what happens next
may be even more horrific

than what happened
in those camps.

What does that mean?

The Soviet Union is a real
threat right at this moment,

far more than people realize.

And I know
from my own personal experience

how terrible it is
if we're not ready for that.

So nothing else matters?

That will always lake
precedence,

being ready for the next war'?

Stopping the next war.

Ah.
The food is exactly on time.

That's good.

Especially as you're going to
start starving me soon.

During the war, I worked at SOE
headquarters in Baker Street.

I saw what happened
to many of our agents

after they got across
the Channel.

They were betrayed...

...brutally tenured,
and then executed.

My old boss, Vera Atkins,

is at this moment
crisscrossing Europe

trying to find those responsible
and bring them to justice.

That's what has had
such an effect on me

and made me so committed

to catching people
who are guilty of war crimes.

And then, of course, finding out
that some of these people

are right here under our nose,
being looked after by you

is really hard.

But you don'! know that yet --
that we have anybody really bad.

In fact, right now there's only
one German left in the hotel --

my scientist.

Nobody else.

I'm not sure I believe that,
Captain Ferguson.

Anyway, having just seen
your real office

and how big your operation is
in the hotel,

I've realized you are, in fact,

in no position to help me,
Mr. Ferguson.

I don't follow.

Because they won't let you.

They'll finish you off
if you try to help me.

Finish me off?
How?

Well, that depends
how much you inconvenience them.

If what you did proved
a major nuisance,

you'd be disappeared
most probably.

Nobody's gonna lay a finger
on me, Kathy.

I can assure you of that.

Especially not at the moment

when I've got the German
working for me really well.

You're almost certainly
being watched right now.

See if we can spot them.

Who do you think it is?

CALLUM:
I'm not easy to intimidate.

And no...nobody's watching.

Thank you for the toffee apple.

It was a rare treat.

So this is going to seem
doubly ungrateful,

but the only reason

I can think of why you might
do something for me --

ls what?

Is because you really like
taking risks, Mr. Ferguson.

[ Geese squawking ]

It is very kind of you,
Mr. Lindsay-Jones,

to suggest we have lunch
together.

Thank you so much.

That's quite all right, Victor.

[Horn honks in distance]

You don't have to eat
quite so quickly.

We're not in a race.

Not in a race, no.

But I don't want to take
too much time away from my work.

I want to get the task done.

- I know you do.
- And today I'm doing very well.

Sometimes I do get...distracted,
I know.

And...not just by the books.

But I think about things --

things that have happened
in the past --

and I get angry.

It's quite all right
to get angry.

You can get as angry as you like
here --

although preferably not with me.

Of course not.

Do you ever get angry,
Mr. Lindsay-Jones?

I can't really imagine that.

Oh, you'd be surprised, Victor.

There are some things
that have happened

which have made me angry --
really angry.

And I think about them
every day.

- Really?
- Yes.

Because the truth
hasn't been told

about these particular things.

[ Paper rustling]

[Bell tolling in distance]

ALEX:
Sorry, darling.

I just realized I left my papers
in here.

I-I fell asleep working on them
last night.

So much to do.

I didn't mean to wake you.

Is everything all right,
darling?

Yes.

By the way,
I-I don't think I told you --

It went quite well with Callum.

At least he seemed to listen
to me rattling on.

I've sort of arranged
to meet him again.

I hope that's okay.

Of course, darling.

[ Door opens]

I knew he'd be helpful.

CALLUM:
Are you all right here, Lotte?

I won't be gone for long.

Don't worry, Mr. Ferguson.
We'll take good care of her.

I don't believe it.

Honestly, I-I don't believe it.

I mean, are you actually saying

that we don't need a swept-back
wing to go supersonic?

Of course they are the future.
There's no question of that.

But if your priority
is to beat the Americans,

to do the sound barrier
before anybody else --

If this is
your number-one objective,

you can do it
with a fixed-wing plane.

We can't present them with that.

We can't say we went
to all this trouble

to get him working for us

and now he's recommending
we stick to what we've got.

The governments just canceled
the latest fixed-wing fighter.

You're too obsessed
with copying what we were doing.

What I'm telling you

is if you want to be absolutely
certain of being first,

you can do it
with a fixed-wing plane

and with this new engine
we're going to build.

Well, we are gonna be first

and we are gonna do it
with a swept-back wing.

We just wanted to know, sir,
if you have any more chocolate.

JULIA:
What are you three up to?

We -- We got the wrong
room number, miss.

We were just looking
for somebody.

We got the wrong person.

Don't you fib to me.

What were you after'?

He has got chocolate.

Yes?

Please do not give
these children chocolate.

They shouldn't be asking
strangers for sweets

or for anything else.

Are you their sister'?

Or their mother, even?

I'm just a resident
in the hotel.

Come along.

[Airplane engines humming]

Oh, my God.
I completely forgot.

I have to be back at the hotel
at 3:00.

Well, that's gonna be difficult.
It's now 10 to 4:00.

Ten to 4:00?
No, it can't be.

I, uh, I promised I'd...

Oh.

RACHEL: "They just couldn't
stop themselves

from opening the door.

Inside the large kitchen,
there was a golden dish

sitting on a table,
with steam rising out of it.

They weren't able to believe
their eyes.

They'd found the food at last.

But as the three of them
got closer,

a terrible voice seemed to
come out of the dish...

...a low, hissing voice.

It said,
'Eat me, and you will die.'"

There you are.

That is a record.

Nearly two and a half hours
late.

I know, and I am so very sorry.

Well, you seem to have found
a way to spend the time, though.

Well, we had a hunt
among the books in the hotel.

Found this strange story
about three hungry witches.

We'll have to finish this
another day, girls.

- Aw.
- I promise you we will.

Now go and play in the yard
by the kitchen.

They've been running
all over the hotel, apparently.

[ Bell chimes]

From the other lady.

Ah.
Well, thank you.

Well, I'm impressed.

They do everything you say.

RACHEL:
Well, today they do.

Now, we're far too late
to go to the gallery.

Would it be very wicked
if we went to the movies?

-[ Down-tempo music playing ]
- WOMAN: There will be others.

Come on.
Let's go up here.

Why?

You see a sign
and you have to disobey it?

It'll be nice up there.
You'll see.

[Music continues]

I told you.
Got the best seats in the house.

Yes, except every time
this seat creaks,

I'm gonna think
the ceiling's coming down.

And look.
We are completely alone.

Well, almost alone.

CALLUM:
Oh, don't worry.

She can't see us.
I promise.

[Gunshots]

[ Both laugh 1

You see?
I told you she can't.

You love this, don't you?

Love what?

You're just like your brother.
You have to take on authority.

Doesn't matter who it is.

You have to try and break
the rules.

If the rules are
particularly stupid, like now,

then yes, I'll break them.

Anyway, I'm not half as wild
as my brother.

He's doing much better
at the moment.

I really like that --

how much you take care of him,
look out for him.

Both of your parents are dead,
are they?

MAN:
You're talking ridiculous.

Oh.
How did you know that?

Oh, come on.

It's easy.

You're so obviously on your own,
you and your brother.

And, of course,

you clearly never worry
about what they'll think.

[Whispering]
She's going to get us soon.

You know,
I think you might be right.

Let's move.

Come on.

Come on.

MAN:
Jock! Jock, you've got him!

Oh, look at this.

It's like it's waiting for us.

[ Chuckles ]
It's all clean.

It's like somebody's
been polishing it

even though nobody's allowed in.

But did they leave any liquor
for us?

I'll have a whisky soda, barman.

Well, sadly, they didn't leave
any drink behind.

Ah. Hang on.
What's this key?

Maybe there's a cupboard
full of alcohol.

-[ Music playing in distance]
- If only we can find it.

You know why we're meeting?

No.

No.
Why are we meeting?

I'm curious to know.

Because Alex is so busy.

He has to work such long hours
right now.

And that -- that's why.

[Music continues]

-[ Screams ]
-[ Gasps ]

She was terrifying.

Absolutely terrifying.

It was like the murderer
coming in.

Her eyes.

She seemed so excited
to catch us.

Did she?

It was only a kiss, after all.

And that's all it was, Cal.

Was it?

Only a kiss.

Well, that's...
what I'm calling it,

so that's what it was.

It was because you were
really late today,

so everything became chaotic.

You brought chaos.

So it's all my fault.

Entirely.
Of course.

It's never a good idea
to be late.

I told you.

Anyway, it won't happen again --
any of it.

Won't it?

No.

Let's talk about
more important things.

Well, what could be
more important?

Well, Lotte needs to be found
a school, for a start.

Of course.

The government
will arrange that.

She needs to go
to a good school.

And she wants to see
your brother again.

No, no, no. That is not
a sensible idea at all.

Well, I think it is.

Harold's having a dinner party
on Thursday.

We could ask him to invite
your brother, Lotte, Dieter.

And you, of course.

Doubling the size
of his dinner party, probably.

We can't ask him to do that.

Of course we can.

[ Bell chimes]

I've been waiting for you.

Did you get my note?

I did.

It was a bit cryptic, wasn't it?

"I've got to talk to you

about what's happening
on the floor below."

So go on.

[Down-tempo music plays]

Are there other people
from the secret service

operating in this hotel?

No, no one.

I think whoever told you that
was lying.

You should have a look
at room 602.

[Music stops]

So what are we going to do?

Well, you are gonna go in there
on your own.

Me?

Why me?
You're the one in intelligence.

Well, you're the actress.
You've met him already.

You have a better chance
of finding something out.

But I also live here,
in case you've forgotten.

I've managed to get
a very good rate for my room --

maybe with a little help from
one of my gentleman friends.

But I have managed it.

And I have a roof over my head,
Callum, and I intend to keep it.

No one gets thrown out
of the hotel, Julia,

unless I agree to it.

That's true for the moment,
but it might not last.

Don't worry.
You can do it, Julia.

Look.
I'll be right here.

JULIA:
Oh.

[Down-tempo music plays]

[ Knock on door]

Hello again.

I just wanted to apologize

for sounding so bossy
this afternoon --

you know, with the children.

No.

What you said
was perfectly right.

Yes, but I-I didn't mean
to sound so rude.

[Door closes]

I'm staying
just on the floor above,

and I know how horrid it is

to feel you have to avoid people
in a hotel.

SALTER:
Hello, Mr. Ferguson.

I wondered
when you'd be along here.

Sent somebody into the room
to nose about for you, have you?

Oh, maybe.

Who have you got in there,
anyway?

Quite a catch, in fact.

Horst Kleinow.

He's a senior German
counterintelligence officer.

Did all sorts of unpleasant
things to our agents

when he was interrogating them
and God knows what else besides.

Helped to kill a lot of Jews
as well.

But he has astonishing
information on the Russians.

Ah.
Astonishing, eh?

Astonishingly valuable, yes.

And that little man --
Mr. Emmanuel -- What about him?

Ah.
That tiny man.

Oh, he was just a contact,

a go-between
to help us get Kleinow here.

Are you staying here long,
Mr.,..

Schmidt.

Hans Schmidt.

No.
I will be leaving in a few days.

But what about you?

I'm an actress, Mr. Schmidt.

My career is very much
in its early stages,

I have to confess.

But I'm quite determined.

Which is a good thing,
don't you agree?

Oh, yes.

Maybe we should discuss
each others futures

before you leave, Mr. Schmidt.

What do you think?

What are your plans
for the invaluable Mr. Kleinovfl

We're going to disappear him.

We're going to fake his death.

He's going to get pneumonia
over the next few days

right here in the hotel

so plenty of witnesses
can see him deteriorate.

And then off he goes to hospital
to die.

It's one of the old tricks.

Still very reliable, though.

The Americans are doing
a lot of this, too,

with their Nazis right now.

Seems the season for it.

Had a nice chat in there?

Uh, this is Mr. Salter,
a colleague of mine...in a way.

Yes.

He's a most charming gentleman.

Of course he is.

[Mid-tempo music playing]

Still up, dear'?

[Music stops]

Yes.

If I don't stay up,
I hardly ever see you.

You're still in your coat.

Yes. I just ran straight up the
stairs when I heard the noise.

It is a noise.

Yes, you're right.

It's a lovely surprise
you're still up, darling.

You look so beautiful.

[ Coughing, breathing raggedly]

You all right, Mr. Schmidt?

It's my lungs.

The air is filthy in this city.

[Telephone ringing]

Yes?

Ah, Miss Griffiths.
It's Callum Ferguson.

Yes, Mr. Ferguson.

Horst Kleinow --
Is he on your list?

He most certainly is.

He's staying here at the hotel.

- I've just found out.
- You've just found out?

I have.
I've just found out.

[Coughing]

I can't use anybody here,
obviously.

But since he's on
the official wanted list,

you can get a warrant for his
arrest using the local police,

and they can take him
into custody.

- Can you do that?
- I will do that, yes.

You don't have long --
48 hours at the most.

I understand.

J' Roundin' on a choo-choo I

J' On the choo-choo train J'

J' I didn't want to leave you I

Ah!

Mr. Ferguson.

Well, we haven't seen you
for a while.

Well, I've missed being here.

Ha!

Well, uh, I was just rehearsing
something.

Anna here makes a good audience.

I hope I'm a good audience.

You, on the other hand,
Mr. Ferguson,

do not make a good audience.

You always seem to come here

when there's something
on your mind.

It's that obvious again, is it?

[Chuckles]
It certainly is.

Well, I keep telling you,
if you're some kind of spy,

you must be a lousy one.

You just can't hide it.

You think that's amazing,
don't you, that I can see that?

Well, there's nothing amazing
about it.

Oh, I believe you.

So, what is going on right now?

You worried about making
the wrong decision?

Mm.
I hit the mark there.

[Coughing]

There you are, sir.

I need to consult you
about the files, sir --

which sections we're going to
throw out first.

Not now, Ringwood.

Now, you listen to me.

You stay right here,

and you don't let anybody leave
that room.

Ah.
There you are.

I didn't know you'd arrived.

They're watching the front
of the hotel as well.

Nobody's left the room, sir.

I don't know how they did that.

We -- We were keeping watch
the whole time.

Well, that went well, didn't it?

Maybe they left something
in that room we missed.

What is it?

I thought there might be
one left.

Now, where did they go?

The hospital.
They went to the hospital.

The man was very ill.

Now, don't worry.

I'm not gonna hurt you.

But you are gonna tell me.

Now, just nod your head.

Did they go to the airport?

Hmm?

Southampton?

Come on.

Harwich?

All right.
We need a car.

We need to gel a car.

DIETER:
Callum?

[Bell tolling in distance]

You're not ready yet.
You're not dressed.

CALLUM:
Oh, God. The dinner party.

Look, I hadn't forgotten, Lotte.

Tell them I'll be joining them
later, rig ht?

But please tell Victor that I'll
definitely be there soon.

[Door closes]

'VICTOR:
I'm very early.

I'm the first, probably,
aren't I?

HAROLD:
Ah. Victor.

Yes, you are a little early,

but, um, I always like people
who are early.

I've brought some food.

Uh, just a few tins I had --
Spam, sardines.

In case we run out of hot food.
How sensible.

I ought to say

I haven't eaten with more
than one person in a long time,

and my brother tends to get
a little nervous

about me meeting new people.

So I hope I remember
how it's done.

[Mid-tempo music plays]

Why are they taking him
to Harwich?

If they really are.

Because he's going back
to Germany, I expect,

so he can go through
the intelligence

that the British have
on the Russians over there.

They needed to stage
his death in England

because so many people disappear
in Germany,

it's hard to be officially dead
and be believed over there.

Why are you suddenly helping me
to get Kleinow?

Because I didn't like the way
he looked at me.

Are you going to tell me
the real reason?

I can believe totally
in what we're doing,

getting the best German minds
working for us.

But I can also believe there are
one or two really nasty people

that deserve to answer
for what they've done.

I don't see a contradiction.

Others might.

You really think they're
going to let you do this

and get away with it,

that nothings going to happen
aftenuards?

I believe I can get away
with it, yes.

HAROLD: Two slices of roast beef
for everyone.

The height of luxury, I hope.

I used weeks of meat rationing
for this.

-[ Chuckles ]
- Fabulous. What a treat.

ALEX:
Mmm. Splendid.

And unlike everywhere else,
it's not overcooked.

Ah.
The English way.

Let's make it taste as close to
old leather as we possibly can.

[ Laughter]

There may not be enough meat
to go 'round,

because some of us were added
to the guest list.

Oh, there's plenty, Victor.
Don't worry.

No, but I've got some tins here,
though, as you can see.

If we need some more.

Feel free to ask
when you fancy some.

Oh.
We will.

Can I ask a stupid question?

Of course.

How are you going to get them
to hand Kleinow over?

That shouldn't be too difficult,
providing we can find him.

It won't?

They're just going to say,
"Take him.

By all means.
He's all yours"?

That's what's going to happen?

They'll be keeping him in a room
somewhere out of the way.

No one is expecting us
to show up.

So I just walk in

and say I want an urgent word
with him in private.

- You don't believe me.
- No.

I Engine revs]

So, Victor, I hear you've been
sorting out Harold's library.

Yes. I think I've been knocking
it into some sort of shape.

Victor has brought a sudden
energy into the house.

It's highly contagious.

Which is a very good thing,
isn't it?

Absolutely.

I think we were all
running around

with so much energy
during the war.

Then we tried to turn it off
like a tap.

Which doesn't work, because
the adrenaline's still there,

ticking away all the time.

It's best to do something
about it.

Mm.
Like what, for example?

Like getting younger,
for a start.

-[ Laughter]
- No, no. I'm serious.

I think we settle for being old
far too quickly.

I tried to dress like my father
as soon as I could,

which was ridiculous --
at 18 in a bowler.

You go out into the street.

You see young women dressing
like their mothers again,

as if nothing had happened.

I think we should plan
to get younger

and not pretend that this energy
has all gone away.

Certainly.

Of course, one has to have done
something in the war

to have that energy.

He builtjet planes.

I was in the Army.

What did you do?

I was in Washington,
stationed at our embassy.

What about you two?

Foreign Office as well,
no doubt.

As was I, Victor.

I'm sure we all worked hard.

I've said the wrong thing,
haven't I?

Nobody's offended.

- It's absolutely fine.
- No, no.

I've said the wrong thing,

because nobodys allowed
to talk about who did what --

about what some of us
really saw, really did!

It's such bad form!

And I'm sorry I look like this.

I must have just mislaid
my dinner jacket, mustn't I?

And I realize that these tins
maybe look a bit ridiculous.

You see, I haven't done
this sort of thing recently,

and so seeing your faces
so clearly,

especially your faces,
has been difficult.

It was a big mistake,
me coming here.

I'm so very -- so very sorry.

Victor.

Victor has his own approach
to things.

Takes a bit of getting used to.

[ Sobs 1

It's all right, Victor.

[Sighs]

Don't be upset.

I'm not upset.

You're crying.

I'm not upset in that way --
not in the way you think.

You don't know what I think.

Nobody cares about whether
you're wearing a dinner jacket.

They really don't.

And the tins were a good idea.

They were.
I promise.

After all,
there were more guests.

[Voice breaking]
I find it so difficult.

I find even the easiest things
so difficult.

I can't get them right
however hard I try.

I can feel it happening
when I'm with people

and I start to do things
I shouldn't.

I-I'm not able to stop myself,
and I hate it.

I hate not being able to.

I know.

[Breathing heavily]

I know.

I Engine revs]

[ Horn honking]

[Man speaking indistinctly
on loudspeaker]

Wait.

I think I see him.

[ Indistinct conversations]

Thank you.

Coming through.
Thank you.

You said it would be simple.

I was wrong.
