All language subtitles for Secret Army S2E13 - Day of Wrath

Wait.

Get the Obersturmführer.

Well, Flight Lieutenant De Beers.
I hope you're satisfied.

You have just killed your brother.

Herr Sturmbannführer?

The list of new postings, Wullner. I want you to put this up on the notice board yourself. - Yes Sir.

Did Rennert show you everything before he left? - Yes, Sir.

Before you do that, get me an outside line. - Yes Sir.

You bungling incompetent idiots.

Is this what they teach you nowadays?
Or was this an idea of your own?

He was a boy Obersturmfuhrer.
- And they didn't tell you about shock?

If we'd had more time, we could, perhaps...
- You could perhaps of what? Brought him back to life again?

Report to my office at 9:00 tomorrow morning.

Fetch Weber and get rid of him.

The transfers.

Where to?
- I haven't looked yet.

Come.

Obersturmführer Jelinek, Sir.
- Very well.

What is it, Jelinek?

I have the list of postings, Sir.
We shall be depleted by more than 50%.

Is there no way of retaining someone?
- I'm afraid not.

Men are required on the Eastern Front. Our losses are considerable. They have to be replaced as a matter of priority.

Herr Sturmbannfuhrer...
- Do you think I like having my staff taken from me, but Germany needs fighting soldiers.

And we are to accept this without protest?

I accept it, Jelinek.
The SS and Gestapo are my responsibility.

I beg your pardon, Herr Sturmbannfuhrer.
I did not mean to presume.

I was referring also to the Luftwaffe police. - I see.

There is another matter Herr Sturmbannfuhrer.

I am to report that the younger brother of the prisoner, De Beers, died under interrogation, Sir.

Died?
- Yes sir.

The men are inexperienced. Replacements.

And a little over enthusiastic in their application.

The boy died of shock.

Prisoner De Beers, sir. - I know, I know, I have just informed the Sturmbannfuhrer.

No Sir. Not the boy. The RAF man.

He's not dead? - No Sir. He is missing. And he has killed Lieberwass.

Alain...

André De Beers! What the hell are you doing here?
I thought you were in England.

Shot down.

Gestapo...

They killed Dirk.

Help me, Alain.

I can't trust anyone else.

You are telling me that the prisoner killed one of his guards and simply left the building. - Yes, Sir.

Has he been found?
- No, sir.

Obersturmführer Jelinek.

That one of your men has been
killed by a prisoner is appalling enough,

but it pales into insignificance beside the fact that it is then possible for the prisoner to simply walk out of his confinement,

pass three guard points and leave security headquarters itself.

You were the other man guarding De Beers?

Sir. - I did not hear..
- Yes, Sturmbannführer.

How is this possible? - We thought the door had locked Herr Sturmbannfuhrer...

Thought?
Why did you both suddenly leave your duties?

Why was everyone else in the corridors?

Everyone had gone to look at the postings, Sir. The Russian front. We all wanted to know.

I see. He was seen by no one? - No, Sir. We have every available man searching.

It is only a matter of time. - It's only a matter of time before he's back in England Obersturmfuhrer.

Have the Luftwaffe Police been informed?
- They are assisting with the search.

And what was the result of your sudden interest in the postings? -Were you to be sent to the Eastern Front?

No Sir, I remain in Brussels. I have not been posted.

Well, you have now. Obersturmfuhrer Jelinek will make the necessary amendments,

including very possibly his own. Get out!

You know we really ought
to get another pianist.

A lot of people listen to the radio at home.

Besides, I like singing.
- And you're very good at it.

Yes, I'll try to get one,
but they don't grow on trees you know.

It's a pity about Max. He was good.

What do you want?
- It's nice to know you're welcome.

Hello Alain. What is it?

Do you remember André De Beers? He used to live in the Old Mill House just down the road from the farm?

He got away with our forces to England?
- Yeah, that's right, that's the one.

Well he's here.
- What, in Brussels?

He's at the farm. He was shot down over a week ago.

Gestapo got hold of him.

Done some terrible things to him.
He's in really rotten shape.

Why did he go to you? - Well, we're old friends, you know. He felt he couldn't trust anyone else.

Doctor Keldermans gone to see him. It's alright. He doesn't know anything about Lifeline.

Here, just a minute. How did he get away?

I mean what makes you think he isn't a plant.
- Cos I trust him. That's why.

He said he just walked out.
- Out of security headquarters?

You can't be serious. The place is crawling with SS, Gestapo, Luftwaffe Police. You just don't walk out.

No, if they let him go, they let him go for a reason. You get rid of him, quickly.

Oh, come on Alain, he's right. He could be a plant. - You've already put Pascal at risk.

No. Just a minute. I mean, do you really think I'm that stupid?

I started operating your radio for you in when? 1941? and I'm still alive, and I'm still operating it.

Now you show me another one who is, then you tell me I'm not careful.

We know that. - If I say I trust Andre De Beers. I don't say it lightly.

Do you think I'm gonna put my own family at risk? Just like that?

I'm sorry. What do you want us to do?

Well get him down the line, as soon as he's fit to travel. - We'll find a way. Let me think about it.

That's why I've come to tell you about it.

Alright. - Better get back to the farm.

Alain, Estelle's away with the kids isn't she?

He's going to need some help.
That all right Albert? - Yes.

Bring some chicory back with you will you. I need some for tomorrow's salad.

You put him to bed then? - How is he?

Your friend is not here. I have not seen him.

But he must be here.
He was in pretty bad shape.

After they made him watch his brother being tortured. I'm not surprised.

Was he delirious? From what you told me, I expected to find him in a state of collapse.

Could he have wandered off or something?

I have spent the last hour and a half scouring the area for him.

Well, if he hasn't got any money. He can't get very far.

How much was in there Alain?
- Not a lot, but enough.

What do you want me to do?
I have other patients you know.

And I rather fancy that if he's strong enough to steal money and disappear,

he's not in very urgent need of my ministrations.

I'm going back to Brussels. Anybody want a lift?

Yeah, there's nothing we can do here. We don't know where he's gone. We'd just be wasting our time.

I don't understand it.
He said he had nowhere else to go.

But... - Alain?

It's just an idea, but he's so eaten up with the idea of revenge and getting back at them. Pure hate.

I've never seen anyone like that before.

Do you think he may have gone back to Gestapo headquarters? Alone?

Thank you.
- How many of your men have been posted?

Almost half my establishment. You? - The same.

Well, I have a solution to our problem.

Too many men are needed for surveillance, am I right?

Supposing we could maintain surveillance even more discreetly and without using men. - I'm sorry I don't...

It's quite simple really. We use machines.

Television cameras to be precise, monitored in this building.

Television?

The transmission of pictures?
- Correct.

Yeah, yeah, it's a British invention.

Incorrect. No, the system was invented by a German engineer. Paul Nipkow in 1854.

He took a single photoelectric cell and devised a system of scanning which has since been...

Come ... What is it?
- Obersturmführer Jelinek, sir.

Oh, very well. Send him in.

Well? - We have received a report from the police in the Anderlecht area.

They found the body of a German soldier, identified as Sturman Conrad Tietjen.

His throat has been cut.

At eleven o'clock tomorrow morning you will take 20 hostages from the Boulevard Anspach. The usual proclamations.

Well, what do you say?
Shall we try television monitoring?

Well by all means. I know nothing of its application, but I can learn.

Let's get this straight. We don't want any mistakes.

He wasn't there when you got back, right?

Yeah. I thought he just run away.

I thought he'd taken the money to get a train right out of the country, and I wouldn't blame him either.

Oh God. He's welcome to the money. It wasn't much anyway.

When did you notice the razor was missing?
- About the same time.

One of a pair belonging to my Grandfather. I never used them.

Are you sure De Beers took it?

No one's going to stop him getting his revenge. - My God, I would.

Just a minute. He came back this morning about 8:30?

Done in. Blood on his coat.
I went to hang it up and I saw the razor in his pocket.

And the announcement said the soldier's throat had been cut with a razor. It's too much of a coincidence.

20 hostages. A hell of a price to pay for revenge.

I know Albert. That's why I want him out now. Come on, I'll take him down the line myself.

You just tell me the routine. I'll take all the risks. He's my friend.

It's too dangerous.
You have your own job to do. We stick to our own jobs.

He can take his turn.

Hey, just a minute ...
... You're keeping something back.

Come on, I've got to know.

I don't know, I'm just not sure. There's something he said.

I think he's done more than one German.

Then he's got to be stopped.

Have they found any more? - Not as far as I know.
- We'd soon know if they had.

He may be out now. Who's with him?
No one, no, it's alright.

I gave him something we give to the horses. If that doesn't keep him quiet, nothing will.

Well, he's got to be stopped.

But I've done everything I can Albert, short of chaining him down.

I meant, permanently.

Well?
- I won't do it.

Now you put yourself in his position.

How do you feel? What are you gonna do about it?

Are you going to sit and let them rough you up the way they did him and then watch while they slowly kill your brother.

Now what are you gonna do? Are you going to go home and sit in the attic?

I can't condemn him. I can't. I don't have the right.

Yes you do. And you must.

Must it always me who does the dirty work?

I'm no more of an assassin than anyone else, but we've got to guard our security.

Damn it man. He's already cost 20 hostages.

And if there are others, it's 20 each time, maybe more.

And we can't have that. Not even for a friend with all the reasons in the world.

Albert, I'll stop him doing anything else.
But if he won't...

I promise to do what has to be done.

I've got to go out. I need some more of this.

We've got to help him.

Albert needn't know.
- What can we do Monique?

We can take him down the line tomorrow with the two that came in from Antwerp.

He's Belgian.
- He wouldn't need tuition.

It's the last one for some time that we'll be doing together. There's no one else involved.

Yes, you take them to Paris. I'll take them on from there.

Albert will be terribly angry if he finds out.

He's bound to find out ... one day.

You ought to be in bed.

No thanks. You put me there for long enough.

What was it? A horse pellet?

I'm going out. There are things I've got to do.

Not this time, old son. You've done enough
damage already.

You won't stop me, Alain.

You stupid idiot. You'll have
the whole German army down on us.

That soldier you killed...

They've taken 20 hostages.
Don't you understand?

20 people are gonna die because of you.

There's more of them, isn't there?

Oh Jesus.

Oh Andre lad, why couldn't you wait?

You wouldn't understand.
- Wouldn't I?

The way you came to us. I saw you when you got here.

I know how you feel alright.
Don't you think I'd feel the same?

I'd want to get back at them too.

This is not the way to do it.
You aren't thinking.

If you'd behaved yourself, I'd have had you back in England by the end of the month.

That's so stupid.

You said you'd have had me back.

I see. Now they want you to get rid of me.

Nobody blames you for feeling the way you do.

God knows how I'd feel if they got Estelle...

Of all the men I knew, you were the one that went to England to keep the fight going, for us.

You were our strength and our honor.

Because of you Andre, one day, the Germans will be gone.

Because of you, me, and thousands more who do what we do.

You're our backbone.

It's not your own personal war out there.
It's ours.

It's all the people that stayed at home because we couldn't leave.

Now you're putting all our heads on the block.

It's because you want to get back at them on your own for what they did to you.

I care about what happened to you.

But you're not going to destroy all the people that stayed at home to fight.

I can't let you André.

Then you'd better do what you've got to do.

I want your word, Andre, you won't do anything else.

I want your word. To me. Your friend,

The old farmer.

Alain. - It's alright. It wasn't necessary.

Andre, come out, please.

Alain, Monique and I have been talking.
Tomorrow, I take two children down the line as far as Paris.

Now they stay there for two days until Monique joins them with her two and takes them all down to the Spanish border.

We've decided to take him with us.

What does Albert say?
- Albert doesn't know. He isn't going to until it's all done.

Alright with you? Right.

Well, that's settled.
Thanks. I shan't forget it.

How long will it take?
- You'll arrive back in England by the 1st of May. Will that do?

Sturmbannfuhrer Kessler's not arrived yet?

The Sturmbannfuhrer was here until late last night Sir. He has been called to Berlin for a high level conference.

Oh, I see. I wonder if I...

Forgive me for being late, but I had to call at the Kommandantur on my way here. - Not at all.

Please sit down. - Thank you.

I wanted to see you.

You're off to Berlin I hear.

Yes, there's to be a conference at Prince Albert Strasse commencing tomorrow, concerned with top security.

But, before I go, there's something I wish you to see.

Thank you.

Another plot against the Fuhrer.
- Another failure.

You recognize several names, I imagine?

Oberst Neidlinger, Von Elmendorff...

Why did you turn down involvement when you were approached?

So, you did know?
- I suspected.

But you did nothing.
- Neither did you.

You should have come to me about Von Elmendorff, but you didn't. Why didn't you?

No, you don't have to answer that. I know why you didn't.

You kept silent out of loyalty to your friends.

But you should have spoken out of loyalty to your country.

However, since the death of your wife, I think, you now realize that.

I have come to respect you as a good soldier and colleague.

And that is why you have not been charged and shot.

This file on Major Erwin Brandt, Luftwaffe,

testifies to a loyalty which I now believe to be rightly and properly placed.

The security conference will last for several days.

I applied immediately for a month's leave. To my amazement, it was granted.

I have therefore requested the Burgkommandant to appoint you in charge here during my absence.

Naturally, I cannot give you Gestapo authority.

But it has been agreed that you will have complete control over all resistance and evasion line elimination units,

including my own SS personnel,

and the television installation.

Thank you.

Alain, thank you.

Come and have a drink. - Oh yes, I'm ready for that. It's warm outside.

Estelle's gone down to Namur to visit her mother. Gil's taken her in the van.

Left me with the old pushbike.
It's hard work though, I can tell you.

If they've all gone over to Namur, who's looking after De Beers?

He hasn't done anything?

No, he hasn't done anything.

I'm sorry, I should have told you before.
- Told me what?

Andre De Beers went down the line 2 weeks ago.

Are you saying....you took him down the line 2 weeks ago

and didn't tell me about it?

It wasn't just Monique. We all agreed to do it. I took him part of the way.

It doesn't matter how he went. - We couldn't leave Alain in the position of having to kill his best friend.

Alain, take Natalie for a walk round the block will you. Now.

They're gone.

What the hell do you think you're playing at?
What exactly do you imagine you've done?

I did what I thought was right.
- You thought. You thought!

Now look Monique. I'm not going to make an issue of this. It is, presumably, over and done with.

But if you, or Natalie or Alain,

or anyone, attempt this again,

I'll shoot them myself and by God I mean that.

If he went down the line with you and Natalie, that means hundreds of people were put to risk. For what?

For a gesture. Humane. Sentimental. It doesn't matter.

These people in Lifeline depend on us.

On me, for their security.

And there can be only one captain in a ship.

It's nothing to do with egos, nothing to do with pride or protocol.

It's to do with survival.

That you, should take such a risk, and go against my orders.

Oh, you may think of them as my orders, but they're not. They come from the line.

They come through me, the person who has to make the decisions, that's all.

I rely on you, totally.
Do you understand what that means?

Can I ever do that again?

God knows I love you,

but if you threaten those people again, I will kill you.

I said I'm sorry. It won't happen again.

Did he make it alright?

As far as we know. He got over the border into Spain.

But we don't know if he's got to England yet.

He'll make it. With so much hate inside him, he'll make it.

God help any German that gets in his sights.

Herr Sturmbannfuhrer. We did not expect you until tomorrow, Sir.

This room is filthy. - You were not expected Herr Sturmbannfuhrer.

That has got nothing to do with it.
I expect this office to be kept in good order at all times.

I've been away for six weeks and it's a pigsty. - I'm sorry Herr Sturmbannfuhrer.

Don't make excuses. I shall expect this room spotlessly clean by the end of the afternoon. - Yes Sir.

Get me Major Brandt.
- He's in the monitoring room Sir.

In that case, don't bother. Get on with this.

As in all development, the initial cost is prohibitive. - We can afford to count the cost.

Exactly Herr Major. But bureaucracy cannot see beyond the end of its nose.

Well, then it must be made to wear glasses. - All it needs to see is that the prototype is the most expensive part...

Herr Sturmbannfuhrer. You were not expected until tomorrow.

There was no reason to stay longer.
Well, Weikmann?

Herr Sturmbannfuhrer? - How is our baby? - Doing very well I'm glad to say.

I hope to stage a demonstration tomorrow.

Excellent. - But it might be possible to show you something of it now.
Excuse me, gentlemen.

Is there any chance that we could give them some sort of demonstration today?

How was Berlin?

Morale would be higher if the Fuhrer would hit back. If London was that bad, the war would be over.

My place no longer exists.
I've been staying with my brother for the last three weeks.

I'm sorry.

How are things here?
- Oh much, the same.

There's been a lot of troop movement into northern France, so of course there's a lot of rumor.

Oh, we picked up an American Air Force Colonel a few days ago,

but so far the follow up is still negative.

You must bring me up to date. Shall we dine together? - Yes, I'd be delighted.

What about that Belgian. De Beers?
- Nothing.

How was that received in Berlin? - Fortunately, Brandt, my record is an exemplary one.

No, I'm sorry gentlemen, it will have to be tomorrow. As it is, we must work through the night.

Thank you Weikmann. Until tomorrow then. - Weikmann.

Alright alright. Alain. I'm sorry. It's too early. I mean there's nobody here yet.

I've got the stuff you've ordered.
- Yeah, I'll make some coffee.

Did you listen to the radio this morning? - No. Why?

The German stations are blank. There's a rumor there's something big on. - Oh no, not again.

Grinke, it must be a cable fault. Check it back to the junction box. It's probably there.

And hurry, please. If we are to remain in business, we must demonstrate success, not failure.

It can't be the backpack. We've stripped that down so often it can reassemble itself.

Come.

Oh Good Morning Brandt. - Why the radio silence? Do you know?

What? - No German station is sending.

Does that necessarily mean anything?
Perhaps Weikmann will know.

Well, if there's a technical explanation. But there's yet another rumor of an allied landing in France.

Rubbish. If that were true, we should be the first to know.

Come. Weikmann will be waiting for us.

Herr Sturmbannfuhrer. This has just arrived by special courier Sir. - Well, I haven't got time now. Put it on my desk.

The one camera feeds all the monitors, which can of course be located separately.

It opens up enormous possibilities.

It means, in effect, we can maintain long range and long-term surveillance in complete secrecy.

It's very impressive.

But how maneuverable is it?
- Grinke. Vary what you have. Move about a bit.

Oh no, no, that's not what I meant.

What I mean is, how difficult is it to move the camera from place to place? To vary the location it is in?

Is this not difficult to do secretly?
- These are early days, Brandt.

Oh please, I don't mean to minimize the technical achievement.

I merely question the application.

And what about light? Isn't that important?

That does present a problem. But not an insuperable one.

It's a question of funds. A large initial appropriation is crucial.

We can make a camera that is smaller, more compact.

The prototype will be expensive, but after that, mass production will give you all the mobility and secrecy you demand.

Money.

Priorities Major Brandt.

Jacques, will you take me to Brussels?

When?
- Now.

What do you mean?
- There is something I've got to do.

Yes?
- Will this mean a Court Martial?

Yes. Will you come? Will you map read me?

Do I have a choice?

Can the horizontal angle be changed, for a closer view?

Oh, yes, by changing the lens. But that too is a future development.

I thought you'd be more enthusiastic.

Forgive me, Weikmann. Devil's advocate.

But it's not only a question of priorities, it's a question of time.

And expertise. We have the finest engineers in the world and this is proof of it.

Yes, with a little help from Russia Herr Sturmbannfuhrer. - What do you mean? Nipkow was a German.

Ah, yes, Nipkow was, but this was developed from the iconoscope, which was invented by Vladimir's Zworykin in 1923.

Well, thank you, Weikmann.

Quite obviously the next step is to demonstrate to a wider and more influential audience.

That aircraft... That's a British
Mosquito.

A single Mosquito?

Oh, my God. It's attacking.

What is it?
- Sounds like the Avenue Louise.

Come away from the glass.

Where are you hit?

I think... I'm alright.

Quick.

Had enough?

The guns have.

Thank you, Jacques.
- A pleasure.

Candide. Yes, Paul.
What was all that?

It was the Gestapo Headquarters.
Badly shot up.

Yes. Hello, Paul? Sorry?

He just said a number and hung up.

49-59.
- The BBC.

The radio Sir...
- Get that wound fixed.

Lock the door.

Have you heard the news?

Troops are going ashore on the beaches and massed airborne landings have been made behind enemy lines.

The fire of the German shore batteries has already been largely overcome.

According to the latest messages, beachheads have been established

and Allied troops have thrust inland.

The Allied forces are supported by about 11,000 first line aircraft.

Mr. Churchill went on to say

there are already hopes that actual tactical surprise has been attained

and we hope to furnish the enemy with a succession of surprises during the course of the fighting.

News of the landings was given in a communique issued from Allied headquarters at 9:30 AM.

This said, under the command of General Eisenhower, Allied naval forces

supported by strong air forces,

began landing Allied armies this morning on the northern coast of France.

Correspondents who watched the landings say that so far the Luftwaffe has not appeared in strength.

Observers flying for many kilometers inland

report also that they saw no German armored divisions on the move.

I must see to my men.

Brandt. This concerns you.

It's from Berlin. Prinz Albertstrasse.

Before he died under interrogation,

Oberst Neidlinger implicated Major Brandt, Luftwaffe, in the plot against the Führer.

You will relieve him of his duties forthwith and deliver him under custody to Standartenführer Reiner at this address within 48 hours.

I'm sorry, Brandt. Truly I am.

But you must see there is no way I could help you now.

If there's anyone you wish to communicate with, I will see that your letter is delivered.

After the Allied Communiqué had been read

General Eisenhower broadcast a message to the peoples of occupied Western Europe

which was given in English, French, Dutch,
Flemish, Norwegian and Danish.

asking them to give the maximum assistance to the army of liberation.

He told those who are members of organised resistance groups to follow all instructions carefully,

and those not in resistance groups to remain disciplined and patient,

and to await orders before striking at the enemy.

King Haakon of Norway, Professor Gerbrandy and Monsieur Pierlot,

the Dutch and Belgian premiers, broadcast to the peoples of their three countries

telling them to follow all orders issued by the Allied High Command.

I didn't believe... that it would ever
really happen.

Well, it has.

But it isn't over yet.

We'll see it through .
