Original subtitles

Shut up, old woman.

They are there.

- What time is it ? - I don't know, I lost my watch.

You are really useless.

There, we're going to have fun.

My new watch!

With stopwatch and everything.

I surrender.

OPERATING ROOM LONDON, 1941

Gentlemen.

Here is the plan.

For great evils, great remedies.

Captain Maes,

the Belgian Prime Minister has chosen you

to lead this operation.

Admiral Godfrey accepted

to provide us British logistical support.

It was before I knew the plan.

You need psychological support.

May that you have other priorities

but whatever we ask, it is the ship and the prisoner.

Lord!

Where are you going to find the right crew?

We took care of it.

We have selected a group

Belgian soldiers, loyal and well-trained.

I want the Black Sheep.

The British army look for those weirdos

for months.

The status in our files indicates

"shoot at sight".

Calm down, admiral.

Nobody knows where they are.

If you know where these guys are,

you will go to court martial.

I have more chances to survive an execution platoon

than this mission.

Maybe they are crazy,

but the damn plan is just as bad.

To great ills,

the great remedies.

Ask him what you want but stay calm.

We still need him.

- An Apple ? - Not now, Tamme.

- What about you, Stan? - After.

All�, Werner?

Can you hear me?

Yes, we have the package.

Can you repeat?

I repeat, we have the package.

Well received. The postman comes to pick him up at noon.

Let Stan not damage the package, this time.

He just asks a few questions to the parcel.

I'm not kidding.

I have six.

Including the big one, it made six.

- With the big one? - Yes, the fat one.

Don't laugh with the fat guy, man ...

Dad, you're a mess!

You promised that I would participate.

It was not planned.

It's always the same with you.

- The potatoes are already germinating. - You just have to do the shopping yourself!

No.

He won't speak with lungs full of water.

How much?

One minute and sixteen.

In fact, we are very nice.

Yes, we are very nice.

A little water ?

Answer the questions and it will be finished.

Move from there.

Give me another five ...

Werner, what was that? Is everything all right?

- The line is bad. - Is the package okay?

I do not hear anything.

- I heard a ... - Completed.

Shit. You're stupid, they come to get him.

Stan.

It will take up less space.

Drop.

Without wanting to offend you.

Your son,

Dieter.

I see the resemblance.

Death in action

- How? 'Or' What ? - shrapnel.

I do not know more.

Why tell me this?

You think that I will betray my homeland?

It's the war.

We all lose loved ones.

It's not about the dead,

but of those

that we can still save.

His name is Franz.

Yes,

it is the first name of his grandfather.

- Are you okay? - No, I'm not.

I'm tired of shopping

and extract bullets from your bodies.

I want another job.

He must protect his beloved daughter, that's all.

Leave me alone.

I found something who might interest you.

Looked.

What's this ?

"B-Patrone" was written on it.

I found a whole case of it.

It's the right caliber.

First a kiss.

Let's see.

It's not hunting bullets.

Come on, Fons.

The best left-hander in Europe.

Kiel rats!

Stop there. You were playing for the Beerschot?

And you don't take a tackle ...

That's all ?

You better hunt rather than frolic.

Stan?

There is a German car in the woods.

Darling?

Your wife, I assume?

Hold.

You can resell it to the Jews.

Where are they hidden?

G�nther.

Run the bath.

I went to the post office.

Always nothing.

Did something have to happen? Mom don't ...

Forget it, I already explained it to you.

Mail is withheld At the French border.

I thought

that little Louis

may already know how to walk.

We have visitors.

I need the suitcase and German.

Everything is there.

And the Boche?

He has crucial information

on troop transfers in the Ardennes.

He is still in his bath.

It's not true !

His head must be lying somewhere.

Damn it, they will not like it.

I had a lot of fun.

New ?

A special mission, I was told to say.

In Congo ?

Finally finished with that damn forest!

I have ticks in the crotch.

Are there Germans in the Congo?

Forget it, we're fine here.

This mission is of capital strategic interest.

We do not care. We come up against Boches, this is our strategy.

Get down.

What are the little numbers at the bottom?

It's the salary.

Van Praag!

You can buy the Beerschot.

Like this, you may be able to play.

As long as I have it around my neck, Fons, It will not happen.

One more thing, I shouldn't forget to say

that the mission will make lots of dead Nazis.

It would be safer for her.

No ?

BELGIAN CONGO

Damn it! Are you wrong?

Are you ok?

You're all green.

I don't like water.

I can't swim.

There may be some buoys.

Gentlemen,

welcome to Africa.

I said "special mission", huh?

Come.

Do not touch anything.

It stinks.

OK, guys.

For those of you who are not good at geography,

we are here,

and our destination is there.

America.

Mission objective:

transportation of cargo which is of capital interest

for allies.

Uranium.

And what is this thing?

I know. It is to color the glass.

In watches, luminous hands,

it is also uranium.

I want one like that. Mine doesn't shine in the dark.

We're going on a secret mission in a German submarine

so that Roosevelt read the time at night?

It's to make a bomb.

It's not just a bomb,

it can raze an entire city.

With an explosion radius of several kilometers.

German scientists are working on it,

they must not get ahead of the Americans.

Shinkolobwe mines of the Union Mini�re in Congo

are the largest uranium deposit in the world.

And Roosevelt bought a few tonnes

in agreement with the Belgian government.

You have to bring them until then.

Are we going to pilot this thing ourselves?

You will be trained for three weeks.

Theory and practice. It's very short.

Start digging already,

failure is not an option.

On the bridge in fifteen minutes.

We drive trucks.

But here, it's a fucking truck.

You couldn't do that behind the curtain?

You laugh ? I'm swimming.

Stan.

It's not the first time that we see her naked.

But there's nothing sexual about it, huh?

Like when she was washing in the stream.

In all innocence, Stan.

And by far.

Yes, far away.

You couldn't see anything without binoculars.

Bunch of pigs.

My God, and where do you stand from?

It's confidential.

Very well.

Come here, you.

A frieze,

as you requested.

Who is that?

Franz J�ger, a German captain. He will train us.

If you think I'm going to get mad a Nazi, you laugh.

Train us, I said. I'm the captain.

He was the commander of a U-boat in 14-18.

He knows this submarine like his pocket.

Stan ...

- Do you think the same thing as me? - Yes.

But there is no bathtub on board.

Hello, gentlemen.

I was asked to teach you

To operate this U-boot in three weeks,

which is impossible.

It's suicidal.

It's suicide.

For German officers intelligent,

it takes at least a year.

But since I'm not coming with you,

I don't care.

Well, we're at the front of the ship, the bow.

It's the front torpedo room.

There are four torpedo tubes.

Very heavy torpedoes. They weigh 1,000 kg each.

But this does not concern you,

because you won't launch any.

It's a transport mission, not an attack mission.

What if we have to defend ourselves?

We will dive.

WC,

captain's cabin,

officers' beds.

Officers' Mess.

Radio room.

There is a 200 watt transmitter.

The control room, the heart of the ship.

Here, the captain decides everything except tides.

Your destiny is in his hands.

Stop there.

Sleeping room.

You split them into two teams.

You see, there is no shortage of space.

The kitchen.

The second most important room.

Be friends with the cook.

You can start peeling the potatoes.

The engine room.

Diesel ?

Diesel on the surface, Electric underwater.

It must be 1,200 hp.

3,200 hp.

MWM engines. The best.

To change my father's tractors.

It's still far away ?

The rear torpedo room.

With two electric motors,

a torpedo

and a torpedo tube.

So much for the basics.

You see,

it is a very complex object.

A false move and ...

Whore !

At work, guys.

You only have three weeks.

Distribution of tasks.

Stan, second in command.

You make sure that we follow my orders.

Tamme, Klisse, motors.

Werner, radio and sonar.

Filip and Fons, at the controls.

Van Praag, to ballasts.

Let's go.

And me ? I have no post.

Explain him.

What?

I made arrangements with Maes.

When they come to deliver the uranium,

they will bring you back on a Belgian farm nearby.

It will be calmer.

I am not alone in Africa.

I won't take you to this coffin.

Crew must collaborate like a machine

well oiled.

You know the expression "one for all! All for one" ?

In a submarine, it's not trivial,

this is the reality.

Pulleys.

Pulley system.

It's the steering wheel of ...

The hydrophone.

This is the transceiver.

This button ...

Change the frequency on broadband.

The reaction circuit.

Starboard 20.

Torpedo lift ...

It's too complicated, guys.

And in German too!

To dive, we get the air out of the ballasts

that fill with water.

And to go back up, it's the opposite.

We pump water and the air is compressed at high pressure.

Understood ?

And if we have to do the big commission,

and we flush,

poop is found in the ballast or ...

What?

No, it's not a stupid question.

Because of the enormous pressure under water...

You do not bathe?

No.

Maybe tomorrow.

I'm going.

Short-short-short-long.

Short-short-short-long.

What does that mean?

You...

ace of very beautiful ...

boobs.

Idiot.

Is that all you learned?

That's all I remembered.

It's our last night together.

I can still try to convince him.

It will never work.

He convinced mom to leave without me.

We at least, we can say goodbye.

That is true.

Do you have something against black people?

A macaque mustn't touch me.

He's not going to go out.

I do not want to know.

Come on guys. Let's go.

This bamboula is too lazy to make the way twice.

We have located your location.

We are approaching from the west.

What is it ?

A German radio message.

Here ?

On the VHF band. In our field of vision.

These radio waves do not pass mountains or trees,

so it comes from the sea. This ship is less than 100 kilometers away.

Find the signal.

Maes, ships!

- Where? - There.

Damn it,

we must leave.

In America?

They come right at us. No choice.

We only had the theory.

We start the practice!

Come on guys.

What are you doing ?

We're leaving for America.

Without knowing how to dive? And me ?

You come.

It was not the market.

The market has changed.

Think.

You have no chance of surviving.

It's suicide and you know it.

I have no other choice.

Stan.

You are discovered.

The submarine will dive, yours.

Received. Shooting range 20 minutes.

Who are they talking to?

OK, well received.

Yes,

everything is on board.

Shit !

What is this?

My God, Maes is dead.

It was not my intention.

Farewell.

Stan, no!

We still need him.

Who is going to drive this machine?

Get us out of here.

I'll save it for grandpa.

I come or you prefer to pass me on To a colleague?

Do not start.

- Is everyone here? - No.

This negro will come?

No, Fons, let's throw it in the water.

Take him.

Engines!

Go.

Let's go.

Gentlemen,

set course for 3-10.

Starboard rudder 20.

Both engines in slow forward.

There is not enough pressure.

- The valve is half open. - What?

The main valve is half open.

Open it !

Damn!

Can I pass, my friend?

It still doesn't move.

Hold on.

It's better.

The gauges are moving.

Tamme,

we have reinforcement.

So ?

They are still far away, but better stay out of range.

Make us dive.

Go diving.

Depth: 30 meters.

In front above ten, behind, five.

Five degrees down.

Down.

Immersion.

Open the valves.

You open the purges.

Cut the diesel, electric mode.

Both engines in slow forward.

Now !

Take them away from me. I need my hands.

I will remove them when I have confidence.

When you have stopped breathing.

What guarantees me that you won't kill me in New York?

What guarantees me that you're not going to kill us all before?

We're in the same boat.

Stan?

What is it ?

Listen.

A strange purring.

They're looking for us.

As long as we are immersed, there is no problem.

What was it already?

I do not remember.

Leak in the toilet!

Damn it.

Do I have to do everything alone?

You fool.

Do you want to kill us all?

L7, B5,

L6.

C3,

B1.

Is it so hard to remember?

I'm going to put your head between B5 and C3.

Which compartment is below?

The batteries !

Batteries and water do not make good housekeeping.

Check me out!

Chlorinated gas.

Send the air, we go back up.

The plane is gone?

If we are not right away, we die.

Faster !

So, the Flak.

Damn, he's leaving.

Why doesn't he attack?

He doesn't take the risk with this Flak.

He will fly over us in circles until we dive.

In training, they shoot dive U-boots.

So we don't dive.

He's going to run out of fuel.

He's already on the radio.

Others will arrive.

We are getting hot!

Closed hatch.

We're moving, guys!

Shit.

Damn, he got it!

Stan.

He got lucky.

Are you kidding or what, man?

Who told you he could sleep there?

Jenga worked ten times more than you, my big one.

In the torpedo room.

Stop it, Fons.

And take your fish.

Uncle Kriechbaum is going to give you the bath.

He seems to like it.

Please don't do anything to him.

I think daddy will save you.

Is not it ?

Up...

behind the chimney.

Go see.

In nature, there are sometimes

certain populations

whose size must be corrected

so that a stable balance

either restored

and that's why we do this.

We help restore balance

of nature.

It is of crucial importance for him to learn ...

balance.

No, I beg you,

don't go!

Don't leave it there, I beg you !

Louis ...

How is it possible ?

Why did you deviate from 50�?

We were 90.

What?

What can I do, my pig?

It's Filip, usually here.

Your getaway

cost us eight hours.

What are you doing there?

I check the axes. You have to oil them.

Stop. Calm down.

Slowly. Calm down !

Open the tube 5.

Stan, calm down.

A torpedo test volunteer?

Stop it.

I only listen to my captain.

You're going to swim, come on.

That’s enough. Let me live my life.

He has no right to touch you.

It's my body. It is I who decide.

You are too young.

And at what age will I have the right then? At forty?

When you get married. In the meantime, you obey me!

Very well.

A captain can marry people.

Come.

Captain,

we will get married.

Come on, guys.

Gentlemen,

the bride is waiting.

No bible. We will do with that.

Honey, it's not a good idea.

Put your hands on the bible.

Nadine,

do you want to take filip here present like the legitimate husband?

I want it.

Filip, do you want to take Nadine here presented as the legitimate wife?

Tapping.

No it's nothing. Come on.

Damn it.

We're going home.

Come on, we're moving.

Quick, there could be a submarine.

Quick !

Go away.

Difficult to celebrate a wedding with an enemy ship nearby.

You could have said "yes" ten times.

He was watching us.

So what ?

We could wait to be in America?

I really love you, you know.

But Stan ...

He's an asshole.

Mom wouldn't have reacted like that.

You can not know How much i look forward to

to see her again.

And introduce yourself to her

like my husband.

She would be proud of me.

What's the matter ?

Nothing.

What?

She's dead, Nadine.

Your mom is dead. I saw it.

And Louis too.

What are you saying ? They are in France.

No.

What?

Stan looked for a million so as to tell you,

but how does a father can he tell his daughter

that his mother and his little brother are dead ?

He couldn't bear to break your heart into a thousand pieces.

Sorry.

Torpedo!

Alarm !

Torpedo, cap 2-2-3, 500 meters.

We dive.

15�.

Filip!

Shit.

We dive.

Prepare for impact.

200 meters.

50 meters.

Hang on.

They missed us. They missed!

Silence.

Both engines in silent mode.

Absolute silence.

Adjusts from 20 to starboard.

So ?

Always nothing.

He can't locate it.

He is somewhere behind.

Come with me.

Klisse.

You have the manual with the plans torpedo techniques?

- Yes, he's in ... - Perfect.

Take it and read appendix C.

Go to the rear torpedo room and cut the wires 4 and 5 of the torpedo.

Warning,

only 4 and 5. Don't touch others.

What is this?

Turn off this thing!

Motors.

In advance, the torpedo?

We are taking care of it !

He is behind us.

We charge the rear torpedo.

Come on guys.

We are almost there !

Come on!

I got it.

Distance?

400 meters.

Position?

1-8-0, just behind us.

Now or never.

The torpedo is charged?

Its good !

Quick quick...

Come on!

Hold on.

I'm stuck.

What are you doing ? Damn it.

Jenga!

Come on.

Get him out of there.

Upper.

We need the torpedo, right now.

Tube five ready.

Shoot those Boches.

What are you waiting for?

Pull !

Imminent impact.

Torpedo!

100 meters, speed of 40 knots.

Turn to port.

It's too late.

50 meters.

And now ?

We pray.

10 meters.

What has happened?

We were too close.

They did not cut the safety distance mechanism.

But we do.

What are the damages?

Orders are broken.

The bar is blocked.

Can we go back up?

Jeg?

We go up.

Guys?

Van Praag

is in poor condition.

Wood. Drink again.

Have to drink, man.

There is no other option.

I know...

What?

You're crazy. You can't ask me!

You are the only one with experience.

Yes, with cows and pigs.

Let's ...

If you don't, he'll die.

You can't ask me!

The first Boche to come, I cut her legs and arms,

all that you want.

But not Van Praag, not him!

I will no longer look him in the eye.

I can not.

No, guys. It's not possible.

No.

Tamme, let it go.

Stop, I'm going to throw up.

Drink some more, boy.

It's for your own good.

What are you doing ?

Hold it tight.

It's for your own good.

Make a tourniquet above the knee.

There.

Then you have to saw under the knee.

Well, here?

Come on.

The ship must be repaired.

Jenga, Tamme.

Come on, are you ok?

Ready?

Come on guys.

I'm ready.

Go on.

So you can do better repair the motors.

I understand.

This is what had to be done.

You saved her life.

He will no longer be able to play soccer.

Another talent of waste.

All the big clubs were fighting over it.

He was spoiled for choice.

Did you play soccer?

I have always been a soldier, as far back as I can remember.

And a soldier does not choose his team.

Werner, radio.

A German destroyer.

- We can leave ? - We only have one engine.

What are we doing ?

If we move without identifying ourselves,

they will open fire with their bridge cannon.

Stan?

Come.

Captain Max Schultz,

identify yourself. To you.

Come on.

Captain Franz J�ger, U-235, 8th fleet.

What is it ? To you.

8th fleet?

What are you doing in this area? To you.

We hit a mine and we repair the damage.

To you.

A mine?

I send you men to help you. To you.

No thanks. It's not worth it.

Don't worry, everything is under control. To you.

No discussion. We are already on our way.

We are coming.

to you.

Very well. We have whiskey. Done.

Shit.

Bastard.

They will be wary if we don't let them come

and if they are suspicious, they shoot.

You have to surrender.

Impossible.

They put a boat in the water!

OK, guys. You go with your friend. Nadine, in the WC.

So,

In the back.

You're the one who's going to speak.

Comrades,

it's not the best time to visit us.

Indeed.

Comrades.

Did you hit a mine?

Yes, we have a lot of damage.

But it's a U-boot, there is always something to fix.

But it can wait.

Not whiskey.

This way.

It's a good idea.

There would be a renegade submarine in the zone.

To the United States, loaded with uranium.

We have to open the eye.

Uranium, you say?

I do not know what it is,

but it seems to be important.

Important?

Anyway, it's above our balance.

Gentlemen, the whiskey is waiting. This way.

Let's ...

- Have we arrived? - There are Germans on board.

Will you scratch my right foot? It eats me.

Scratch me.

I have ants.

Like that?

Yes it's good.

Health.

Quite a good whiskey, J�ger.

I told you.

Have you been here for a long time?

Some time. We are awaiting orders.

It's nothing. It's Gerhard.

He regained consciousness.

Shut up.

The Boches will hear you.

He had an accident.

We had to operate it urgently.

I will see.

No need, it is well cared for.

Mayer is a nurse, he can help.

Will see.

We're going to have a drink.

Shut up.

Have you had to amputate both legs?

I understand. How did it happen?

The amputation took place on board?

We can just relieve him by giving him morphine.

I'll get it.

Give me back my legs!

Where are my legs?

Alert, they are not German!

Once,

I saw a scientific experience made on a Jew.

Man was tied in a tub of ice water.

At zero degrees.

When he was about to die,

after ...

five hours of agony,

they warmed his body

filling his stomach of boiling water,

his intestines

and her bladder.

Your cargo ...

uranium.

I heard rumors about it.

About a weapon of mass destruction.

I saw what they can do with a cold water bath.

So with a gun of mass destruction ...

I closed my eyes once.

I will not repeat the same error.

God help us

if ever Hitler is the first To have this weapon.

So...

we're going to get this ship out of there.

Damn, they get impatient.

They want the crew to come back.

Their cannon is aimed at us.

Hurry up.

Are you sure?

It is an impossible move.

Not for you.

OK, come on.

Open the valves.

Quick.

We have to go, come on.

It's a fuse.

I need ten seconds.

As long as it's a fuse ...

It works again.

Silence, what is this noise?

Hang on!

Nadine!

You have to get out of this compartment.

Close the hatch.

Nadine?

Close the hatch or we'll die.

Quick.

Klisse?

We have to close.

I'm stuck.

Come on, Klisse!

Klisse, we must close.

At the back, come on.

Come on, man.

Come.

Shit ! No no no...

Push up.

Help me !

It's your liver.

Went through it.

We will get there.

Something has to be done.

Nadine is blocked.

Calm down.

Don't panic.

Damn, what can I do?

Calm down.

It's madness, he's going to die.

What do they say ?

Your father is coming.

Don't do that. It's suicide.

I can't leave yet my child drowning.

Come on.

Slowly.

Calm down.

I want it.

Go quickly.

No pulse.

Come on, sweetie.

Go ahead, darling.

Go ahead.

Come on.

Come on, sweetie!

Fight !

Come on, shit!

Listen to me for once!

Fight !

Stan, stop.

Let her go.

You came back.

We're almost in America, comrades.

We do not have a choice.

It's a one way trip, you know?

I know it since I got on board.

Hold on.

Here.

Sorry,

we have...

Thank you.

Don't keep her waiting

as long as

the next time.

Promised.

Jesus Christ, he succeeded.

Mom, Louis ...

Hush, dad.

If you couldn't save them, is that no one could.

4 YEARS LATER

MIAMI, AUGUST 6, 1945

You won.

Ah shit, yes.

Checkmate.

Damn it!

Stop ...

Come on, let's swim.

We have to interrupt for a message from President Truman.

A few hours ago, an american plane

dropped a bomb on Hiroshima

and destroys this enemy military base.

The power of this bomb exceeds 20,000 tonnes of TNT.

With this new bomb,

we have increased our capacity for destruction.
