Previously on X Company...

- Argh!

- I would like you to meet Dagna.

I think she will be very happy here.

- Operation Marigold isn't about a refinery.

It's about him. - He's going to

flood Germany with synthetic oil and win the war by springtime.

- So if something happened to Voigt... - I have arranged

for you to accompany me to Berlin.

Herr Professor Voigt will be presented with an award

at the gala for his contributions to the Reich.

- You're going to be Helene Bauer full time,

and it is not going to be easy.

You will do things and say things that you don't want to,

but you've got to keep your eye on the bigger picture. - What are you waiting for?

- How do you live with yourself? - Your hands aren't clean either.

-: Did I tell my father about the spies

who pretend to be my friends? - You will help us in Poland.

- I want you to know

that you were killed by a Jew.

- A double agent. - The Allies only think I'm a double agent.

The only way to pay off the long-term game

is to secure the man who's sending those spies.

Colonel Duncan Sinclair.

- How do you plan to do that? - I have

his son. ♪♪♪

- Ahem!

- You missed the good bits.

-: Ten glorious years.

-: You'd think the war was already won.

- Tell that to our army in Stalingrad,

which we've officially been forbidden to mention.

- Yeah. Truth is not as entertaining.

- Hmm.

- Schmidt's picking me up from the hotel at 7:00.

Where will Professor Voigt be?

- He'll be brought to Victory Hall

separately. The main event is in the Ballroom,

but his award will be in a secure side ceremony

beginning at 7:30. - Good.

- I must warn you.

With Himmler's guards,

access will be nearly impossible.

- What would happen

if there were an attack on the building?

- It would be locked down. Priority would be

to protect Himmler and to get him to a secure location

as quickly as possible. - And Voigt?

- Would be in my care.

- We could take him somewhere quiet, out of the way.

- I can't be implicated. - And you won't.

He'll have a "heart attack," triggered with a security threat

you're protecting him from.

We'll keep you clean.

I just need an opportunity.

- There's a library

at the far end of the south hall.

- Good.

I'll be waiting. - Mhm.

The other night-- - It never happened.

Heidi saw us.

- What does she know? - Her body won't be found.

I told you. We keep you clean.

I have your word that you'll deliver Voigt?

- As long as Sinclair

holds up his end of our agreement.

- What agreement?

- It's a stunning example

of late traditional Baroque styling. You'll notice

in this art that the artist has placed the two subjects

close...

but the lack of eye contact suggests

a great emotional distance,

a strained confrontation.

Some even think it's actually the same man.

The younger self

is in dark contemplation about his future,

about who he'll become.

If you're interested,

there are further examples of the same period

in the next room.

- Excuse me. - Mm-hmm?

- Where can I find the Abyssinian-ceramics collection?

- "I'm afraid it's out on loan."

♪♪♪ - It's good to finally meet you

in person, Manfred. - I'm sorry,

I-I-I didn't realize I'd been corresponding with a woman.

- Turns out we're everywhere these days.

- Ja.

- Is there somewhere we can talk?

- Franz.

I just learned of your latest coup.

Oberst-Gruppenfuhrer Kohler had a few questions.

The news that you have been operating as a triple agent --

well, it was a bit of a shock to our higher-ups.

- I see.

- They'd like to have a moment of your time

so you can fill in a few details.

- Surely, this can wait until after the gala tonight.

- This won't take long.

I'm sure it's just a formality.

- So it comes down to Faber keeping his word? Delivering Voigt?

- Yeah. He says he will. As long as we keep him clean.

As long as you keep your side of the bargain.

- What bargain? - Faber's not going

to help us,

unless I hand over the recording of Sabine first.

- That's our leverage. Why would we give up our only leverage?

- He has my son, William.

Here, in Berlin.

- Your boy's alive? - He found him

in a POW camp in the Pacific. It was a counter-move

to protect himself. He's good at what he does.

- He's holding him hostage? - He's trying to keep him

off the books, but it's only a matter of time

'til they connect him to me. The exchange has to happen fast.

- You've agreed to it already? - I meet him at 3 o'clock.

- When did you first become aware of these Allied agents?

- After the sabotage of the bridge at Villemarie

and the murder of Sturmbannfuhrer Richter.

- You captured one of them soon after. - Yes, René

Vallieres. His intelligence

made us aware of a secret Allied training facility

in Canada known as Camp X.

- Why didn't you approach anyone

with your plan to act as a triple agent?

- As a precaution against potentially disloyal elements within our own ranks.

The safest action was to secure

as much intelligence as I could first,

then to bring it straight to Berlin.

- Tell us how exactly you convinced

the Camp X spies to trust you.

- Why did you need to communicate with him in secret?

- To establish a personal level of trust between us.

- So, making secret plans with the enemy is more important

than your own people knowing what's going on?

I suppose so when you're sending agents to their death. - It had to be done, Neil,

and I know that is hard for you to understand.

- They didn't have a chance. - No, they didn't.

They gave their lives for you and for this mission.

That's what soldiers do. - Alfred Graves.

You interrogated this man personally,

but where are the results?

Were you unable to break him

or were you already in collusion?

- I needed more time; his transfer to Berlin interfered. - The same transfer

that resulted in his escape and that of René Vallieres?

- Unterfuhrer Forst was the officer in charge

of that convoy. - I've read the report.

- Then you know that the convoy was attacked.

- And your valuable prisoners were "lost."

According to your report, you arrived

and discovered Forst dead.

- He had been shot in the attack.

- As were the other soldiers on the convoy.

- Forst was the only one

bludgeoned, severely beaten, and then shot.

- He was a senior officer.

It's likely that the attackers tortured and questioned him.

- Or perhaps he discovered you had facilitated

the escape of the spies. And it was you who killed him?

- He didn't.

And I didn't.

- So this was

before you formed a triple-agent alliance?

- Yes.

- I'd like to talk about your defective son Ulli.

- If you hand

over the recording now, what guarantee do we have that Faber

won't sell us out tonight? - Faber wants

the same things we do. He came to us. - Are you forgetting the bit

where we threatened his wife when he tried to cut and run?

- The exchange levels the playing field.

No more blackmail. We're bonded on principle.

- Oh, lovely. Why don't we bond after we kill Voigt?

- Neil, the deal is done. - Don't blame Sinclair.

Faber never would have known about William if it hadn't been for me.

At the safe house in Paris,

I was the one who told him Sinclair had a son.

If I'd just kept my mouth shut-- - The deal

was falling apart, Alfred. You did what you had to do

to bring him back on board.

- It's done.

- How did it go? - We have a way to get a weapon inside.

- You know that your son's condition is incurable.

He's Mongoloid. - And it was your duty

to place him in the Aktion T4 program.

- Unterfuhrer Forst had even arranged for transport.

- But the boy never got on the bus to the institution.

- I understand the Brigadefuhrer dealt with the matter himself.

- I didn't want to burden the Reich with my personal problems.

- Where is your son?

- I killed him.

- You didn't entrust him to a relative?

- Get a shovel, I'll show you where he's buried.

- Why would you take that

upon yourself, Franz? - Because as a genetically

defective child, he was a waste of the nation's resources.

Because it was the will of the Reich.

- Be that as it may,

your file is peppered

with inconsistent and insubordinate

behaviour. Not to mention the loss of Jacques Rigaud.

Judging by facts, not words,

it's frankly hard to tell which side you are on.

- What are your specific plans as a triple agent?

- I will continue to cultivate my relationship

with that cell of agents-- - Words!

- Specifically, I will target their leader, Colonel Sinclair.

- Words again! Gentlemen,

I suggest we discuss our next step privately.

- Sinclair is fighting this war because of his son.

He would do anything to protect him,

which is why he is in Berlin.

And, as it happens,

I have his son in my custody.

I will use his son against him,

and Duncan Sinclair will do anything we ask.

of this park.

Himmler's presence means the place will be airtight.

- I made contact with Manfred Franke at the Reichsmuseum. He helped us

build Helene Bauer's cover. I've convinced him

to offer a few

of the museum's best pieces to be displayed in the hall tonight

in honour of the historic occasion.

He'll give us access

to the art before it's delivered.

And we'll use that to smuggle in a bit

of explosive, about this much.

As well as pencil fuse. When the time is right,

insert the fuse, crack it, the chemicals react, you have about 40 seconds to get away.

- That's not a lot of C-1. How do you make sure

Voigt's close enough? - Oh, we don't have to.

The explosion is just a distraction.

Once Aurora detonates it-- - They go into lockdown.

Security focuses on getting Himmler

out of the building, while Faber secures

Voigt in a library down the hall,

where I'll be waiting for him. - What about the weapon?

- Manfred will show us

which painting will hang in the library. We use that

to smuggle in the potassium chloride.

- A heart attack.

And Operation Marigold dies with him.

- And nothing traces back to us or Faber.

- And we walk off into the sunset

with our former enemy who keeps his word

because he's a man of principle. ♪♪♪

- He'll come through.

- What time's the exchange? - Soon.

- I'm coming with you.

- You have given them the honest facts.

Try not to worry.

- I feel it's premature to bring full charges against him.

- Brigadefuhrer Faber?

- We are satisfied, thus far,

that you have acted in the interest of the Reich,

pending a more thorough review

of your files with our peers. - In the meantime,

we will proceed with immediate arrest

of Colonel Sinclair. - With respect,

as long as we have his son, there is no need to detain him.

How else will he work as a double agent?

- You have done well to get this far on your own,

but turning a high-ranking officer

needs to be done through the proper channels.

- I have built trust with Sinclair. If you want him alive, I must be the one to arrest him.

- Very well. Bring him in immediately.

And, Franz, well done.

-: Heil Hitler!

♪♪♪

- It's OK.

You can play with them.

Which one is your favourite?

-: Sabine?

- Papa.

- 'Bine, I've come to see if you want to watch the parade.

- I'm sorry. I just think all the travelling is catching up to me.

- Yes, of course. You should rest.

I'd be happy to take Dagna.

There is a marching band,

all the Youth in their uniforms.

It's very inspiring. Where is she?

- Taking a nap. I don't want to wake her.

- Ah. What a shame.

Well, a little something to make her feel welcome.

- It's beautiful.

You must have a lot to do to prepare for tonight.

- I can still help you settle in.

You are sure you'll be all right on your own?

- Of course. Franz will be home soon if I need anything.

- Ah, yes. I'm so glad you've resolved things.

He is a good man.

He's truly impressing his superiors here.

- Really? - I shouldn't say, but, uh,

he has done the Reich a great service.

♪♪♪ - How exciting.

What does that mean? Rounding up

a nest of spies or something?

- Perhaps next year it will be Franz

Well, I'll call on you tomorrow and see

♪♪♪

It's all right.

Just you and me now.

- Right. Give me the recording. - We're still two blocks away.

- You're staying put. I'm taking it from here.

- Neil-- - You don't know what we're walking into. You never even got

proof of life. - The exchange is on my terms.

He's not gonna risk this recording going public.

- "Some lives are worth more than others."

Pawns versus kings.

Stay here, stay concealed.

OK? I'll bring your son back to you. Give me the recording.

Do you have a photo of William?

-: Sieg! -: Heil!

-: Sieg! Sieg! -: Heil! Heil!

- Thank you, Neil.

- This is the one.

- It's going to the reception hall?

- That's right. A stunning example

from the Renaissance period. I was hoping to send it out

for restoration the next month, but the only craftsman

skilled enough won't be available anytime soon.

- Manfred, like you said, we don't have much time. - Sorry, it's all happening

rather quickly. - Which piece will hang

in the library? - The library? Uh, this one.

No, wait, sorry. That's the main hall.

Uh, this one.

- You're sure? - Positive.

- When is the delivery staff expected?

- A little over an hour. Does that leave you

enough time for...? - Ample.

- Because I can't have anyone walking in and seeing

unaccredited individuals. - Of course not.

- I'd have trouble explaining it of course.

Some kind of listening device? - Why don't

Come.

Months of planning, leveraging Sabine, you working
