Either swim to shore

death by water or death by fire.

Oddly, they chose both.

One of them

sank immediately and perished.

But to our amazement,
the big one,

he showed great spirit.

In spite of all the odds...

made it to shore.

We followed and cheered him on

(MUSIC FADES)

(PROJECTOR CLICKING)

(JOLLY ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYING)

NEWSREADER: (ON PROJECTOR)
The war in Europe rages on

as Hitler and his Nazi horde
sweep aside all in their path.

Poland, Belgium and now France

have all fallen
to Hitler's fascist regime,

leaving Britain
holding up the final hopes

of liberation for all of Europe.

So, come on, Blighty,
get ready for a fighty.

But we cannot do it alone.

And any hope
for our American brothers

to join us
from across the Atlantic

remains frustrated

by Germany's secret weapon,
the U-boat.

These deadly little submarines

hunt at will
in the North Atlantic.

Undetectable, the U-boat
sinks ships indiscriminately,

whether carrying
munitions, provisions

or civilians heading

from our companions
across the pond.

So long as the U-boats
rule the Atlantic,

it remains impossible

for America's brave troops
to reach our shores.

Will Britain be forced
to appease Hitler's plans

or face devastation
from his offensive?

London burns
and her seas run red,

as bombs from above
and torpedoes from below

grind the Brits down.

And with no defense
against these lethal U-boats,

it appears all hope may be lost

for peace in Europe.

- (MUSIC STOPS)
- (PROJECTOR CLICKS)

The Germans cut off
our supply chain with U-boats,

we cut off the supply chain
to the U-boats.

Through our intelligence agents,

we've found a way.

(INTRIGUING WESTERN
MUSIC PLAYING)

The entire

servicing, repairing,
and rearming

of Hitler's
Atlantic U-boat fleet...

is operated
by two Nazi tug boats...

and an Italian supply ship
in Fernando Po.

I need men who are willing
to go and sink those ships.

Why don't we just
air-raid Fernando Po

and sink the ships?

(EXHALES)

Because crafty Germans,
being crafty Germans,

have positioned themselves
in a Spanish colony.

Fernando Po
is neutral territory.

If we attack that colony,

the rest of unoccupied Europe
will join the Nazis,

and it's only a question of time

before we find ourselves

frying big pink sausages

wearing nothing but lederhosen.

Hitler is not
playing by the rules

and neither are we.

This will of course be
an unsanctioned,

unauthorized
and unofficial mission.

If they're captured
by the British,

they'll be thrown in jail.

But if the Nazis find them...

it's torture and death.

MAN: Somewhat contentiously,

I may have just the man,

but rather inconveniently,

he's currently incarcerated
at His Majesty's pleasure.

We may not like his attitude,

but he's bold, he's a killer,

and the men
will follow him anywhere.

Are we sure this is a good idea?

Of course we're not.

But we're desperate.

- Send him in.
- (DOOR OPENS)

SERGEANT: Forward!

- (FOOTSTEPS APPROACHING)
- (CHAINS CLINKING)

SERGEANT: Stand there, Major.

(INTRIGUING MUSIC CONTINUES)

MAN: Thank you, Sergeant.

Gus March-Phillips,

this is Lieutenant Commander...

Fleming. Ian Fleming.

He used to be
at Naval Intelligence,

now he works for me.

Why am I here, M?

I have a mission
I want you to lead.

Why are you asking me, M?

Help yourself
to a cup of tea, Major.

(GUS CLEARS THROAT)

We both know that I'm...

not very popular
with the administration.

M: The reason
they find you unattractive

is the very reason
I find you attractive.

Mission?

M: Operation Postmaster.

To neutralize the German U-boats

in the North Atlantic.

(RATTLING)

- And, uh, what's the plan?
- (SIGHS)

FLEMING: The U-boats need

- fuel and torpedoes.
- Oh.

But they also need

carbon dioxide filters
for oxygen.

Without them, they can't dive
and they can't hunt.

Stuck on the surface,
they're obsolete.

Target?

The Duchessa d'Aosta.

She's an Italian ship
the Germans have been using...

(CONTINUES DRAGGING CHAIR)

(FLEMING CLEARS THROAT)

...to refuel,
re-arm and replenish

the CO2 filters
for the entire fleet.

She's hidden
off the coast of West Africa.

A small island
called Fernando Po.

We want you to, um, sink her.

M: You'll be posing as fishermen

sailing down the west coast

on board a trawler
loaded with enough explosives

to destroy the Duchessa.

This is Agents
Heron and Stewart.

They'll be working
undercover on the island.

Mr. Heron's
already established there,

running various businesses.

What businesses?

A casino bar,
and illegal exports game.

Profitable?

- I do quite well.
- (LIGHTER CLICKS)

High-ranking Nazis
are my most valued clients.

Good for you.

(LIGHTER CLICKS)

M: Miss Stewart,
an actress and singer,

has been training with us
for the last two years.

She'll be posing

as a gold trader from New York.

Her mission is
to seduce and distract

the island's Commanding
Officer Heinrich Luhr.

She's very capable
and somewhat motivated.

Motivated how, sir?

My mother's side
were German Jews.

They were the first to go.

Very sorry to hear that.

I'm sure you'll recover.

M: We have 44 days

before the Nazis
move their operation.

We won't find them again.

If I'm to do this,
I'll need my own team.

You won't like them.
They're all, uh...

mad.

They'll need to be.
Give us their names.

Henry Hayes.

A smart, young Irishman
who hates the Nazis

because his older brother,

who was a close friend of mine,

drowned after a U-boat
sank his fishing trawler.

I've taken him under my wing
ever since.

He's cunning, quiet and wily.

More to the point,

Hayes is a magnificent sailor
and I trust him.

If we're going
to try and sink a large ship,

we'll need
Freddy "The Buzz" frogman.

He can swim across the channel
with his feet tied together.

Admittedly,

he's a convicted arsonist
and a terrible misery

unless he's destroying something.

But he's very good
at blowing things up.

Next, we'll need
the Danish hammer.

Anders Lassen.

Grew up wrestling bears

and hunting elk
on his family estate.

He's a legend

with a Bowie knife
and a bow and arrow.

He ran away at 18
to fight the Nazis

after the Gestapo tortured
his brother to death.

He gave up filleting game
for gutting Nazis.

He then turned up on our shores

ready to fight alongside us.

He is an uncontrollable mad dog

who knows
a hundred creative ways

to kill a man.

And finally,

and most importantly,
we'll need Geoffrey Appleyard.

Yes, we thought you might.

That's why we sent him

on a reconnaissance mission
to Fernando Po.

Unfortunately,

the Nazis nabbed him
on his return.

All the more reason.
He knows what we need to know.

He's a master planner,

a master survivor,
a chess grand master

and a surgeon with the blade.

We spent two weeks together
in a Dunkirk foxhole

and if it wasn't for Apple,
I would still be there today.

No Apple, no mission.

I'm afraid that's impossible.

Why?

M: Because he's being held

by an entire German garrison
on La Palma.

(HUFFS, LAUGHS)

La Palma's on the way.

(MARJORIE SCOFFS)

- That's insanity.
- You let me worry about that.

I must get me
one of those coats.

(AMUSING WESTERN MUSIC PLAYING)

(LAUGHING)

Now, any chance you can tell us

what we're doing here, sir?

Dry yourself off, frogman,
and I'll tell you.

The curiosity is
eating us all up, sir.

GUS: I apologize
for all the secrecy, chaps.

But this is

an unsanctioned, unofficial
and unauthorized mission.

If we're picked up by the Brits,

we will all go to jail.

If we're picked up
by the Germans,

torture and death.

So, it's just
the four of us then?

And Captain Appleyard.

He's responsible
for securing this information.

He is, however,
in a spot of bother.

He is being held
by the Germans on La Palma.

Our first job
is to liberate him.

- Oh, so, that's all, is it?
- GUS: No.

We need to confirm
Appleyard's intelligence.

That's why
there are two more agents

on their way to Fernando Po
by train, as we speak.

Doing what, exactly?

They'll be ensuring

that those ships
are filled with supplies,

so they're worth blowing up
in the first place.

(TRAIN HORN BLARING)

MARJORIE: It's one thing
taking over the world,

but do they have to
take over the kitchen too?

It's all sausage,
cabbage and black bread.

HERON: Who would
you have preferred?

MARJORIE: The French offer
the refined classical take.

Cote de boeuf,
fromage, le beurre...

- ca suffit!
- (MEN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY)

What about the rustic
spontaneity of the Italians?

Their oils, the linguine,
the tomatoes.

I'd climb over the linguine
to get to the fettucine.

But the cinghiale.

MARJORIE: Mmm.

You have me with the wild boar.

But then again,
the Spanish offer

the smorgasbord

of the regional paella
and tapas.

And Jamon Iberico Andalucia.

So?

We're between
a rock and a hard place.

If the Brits win the war,

we're stuck with fish and chips.

If the Germans win the war,

we're stuck with this menu.

So?

We'll have the sausage,
the cabbage

- and the black bread please.

(MUSIC FADES)

Sausage, cabbage

(SIGHS)

MAN: Hitler
has made us an offer.

An appeasement.

But we must step down our army,

surrender our Navy
and accept Nazi rule.

Otherwise, he promises

total destruction of Britain
and her empire.

Our best option

is to take Hitler's deal
while we can.

The Air Marshal agrees.

He has more bombs,
more men, more machines.

We won't survive much longer.

You have to make
the only decision you can make

in good conscience,
Prime Minister.

CHURCHILL: Good God, girls.
Listen to yourselves.

It's not appeasement,
it's surrender.

You still fail to realize
who we're up against.

With respect, Prime Minister,
it's you who doesn't realize.

We cannot hope to defeat him.

Hitler is
the mainspring of evil,

a guttersnipe.

This is not a man
that we can negotiate with.

I've read his book,
Admiral Pound.

The man is a vicious,
victimized ideologue.

He cannot be trusted.

If I thought that
we could've achieved peace

through surrendering,

I'd have done it already.

We need to stop our country
from starving.

We need
three million tons of supplies

to cross the Atlantic
every month.

We are currently losing
50% of that to U-boat attacks.

Another reason to take the deal.

I've not finished,
Algernon, darling.

We need the Americans,

and they will
never enter the war

if we already appear
to be a losing side.

Ending hostilities with Germany

is the best path
out of this mess.

We are all in agreement,
Prime Minister.

Thank you, gentlemen.

(STERNLY) Yes,
thank you, gentlemen!

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC PLAYING)

(DOOR OPENS)

CHURCHILL: M, Fleming,
this better be good news.

M: Prime Minister,

we have the manifest here, sir.

It's been confirmed

the Duchessa
is fully laden with supplies

to keep the U-boats
operational indefinitely.

If we're going to sink her,
now is the time.

They're on their way.

And their chances?

Well, if anyone can, they can.

But if we're discovered,

parliament will remove you
from office.

Well,

we'd better make sure
we're not discovered then.

(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC FADES)

We'll take it
from the cliffside.

It's an 85-foot sheer climb.

No one should notice

a small, innocuous
fishing vessel.

We'll set up in the woods
and see what we're up against,

then we'll go for a night raid.

Slip in quietly,
find Apple, come out fast.

Numbers?

Intelligence suggests
a garrison of 50 to 60.

That should be about 15 each.

Lassen, try not to be greedy.
You do have a reputation.

you are not the secretary.

Miss Stewart is the contact
I said I'd arrange.

Ah, your New York gold contact?

I told you,

I already have
a satisfying arrangement.

Have a seat.

Thank you.

(HEINRICH SPEAKING GERMAN)

(IN ENGLISH) Well,
I hope I don't disappoint.

(LAUGHS)

I can't make a decision
on this presentation.

Early days.

Well, if early days
do come too soon,

and seasons change
with a Hunter's Moon.

(IN GERMAN)

Hmm.

Hmm.

(IN ENGLISH)
I have to say, Heron,

for all your flaws,

you do have a habit
of pulling rabbits from hats.

(CLASSICAL MUSIC PLAYING)

So, how much gold
do you wish to move,

- Miss Stewart?
- (LIGHTER CLICKS)

As much as you can find.

As I mentioned before,

I do already have
a very profitable arrangement.

And despite of your commentary,

I pride myself
on maintaining harmony.

Now, why should I entertain you?

Because you'll make more money
and have lots of fun

whilst doing so.

If I'm not good for my word,
don't pay me.

(IN GERMAN)

(LAUGHS)

(IN ENGLISH) Bravo.

I will talk to my people
and then we'll rendezvous.

Lovely.

barks at dawn,

(CONTINUES FLICKING LIGHTER)

Now be careful
how you reel him in.

(INHALES)

I'll make sure
the harbor's empty

when the boys arrive.

How are you going to do that?

I'll throw a party at my club.

A costume party for the officers

and a second party at the dock
for the soldiers.

People like my parties.

Everyone but Luhr.

That will be your job.

All the rats
will follow the piper.

GEOFFREY: So,
if I understand correctly,

we're currently
here in La Palma.

We'll sail around
German-controlled Africa

to Fernando Po,

which is just
north of the Equator,

just off the West African coast.

So that's the shortest route?

Yes, but we don't
want to go shorter.

Our priority is not to be seen.

You mean, be seen again.

Again? Getting a little sloppy
on us now, Gussy?

Had a run-in already?

Never mind us, Apple, old boy.

Remind me again

how you found your nipples
attached to a car battery.

(CHUCKLING)

Yes. Wasn't my fault.

Bad intelligence.
Plus it was almost worth it

to watch
the heart-snatcher at work.

I'm better known as a lover
than a fighter.

Jesus Christ!

If that's how you fight,
I'd hate to see you love.

You don't have
to worry about that,

you're too pretty for me.

Freddy, on the other hand...

You'd have to catch me first.

I do love to hunt.

You'd be lucky.

I'm really getting quite hot.

Anyway, my suggestion is
that we take this wider route.

It's obviously longer

but it should avoid
any awkward conversations

with German U-boats
or British warships.

Weather-dependent,

we should make it there
in 15 days.

Agreed.

Haysey, do you think
you could manage that?

Leave it to me, sir.

Please take care

But do you, Ricardo?

You need another drink.

Ricardo, that's why I love you.

Everybody's welcome.

Have you fallen out

(SIGHS) It's not fair, Ricardo.

This is my harbor.

I am in charge.

Are they stepping on your toes?

They don't step, they stamp!

They tell Captain Binea nothing.

(CHATTER STOPS)

Only now do I hear

the Duchessa
is leaving the harbor early.

(CHATTER RESUMES)

Well, good riddance.

The harbor will be yours again.

When will you be free
of that ugly vessel?

Three days earlier.

Then we should
have another drink.

To celebrate. Marty...

Another round
for our Harbor Master.

So, Captain, do you know
where they wish to relocate?

It's neither cat nor dog
that kills for fun,

it's the vixen, not another.

There's only two
that kill for fun,

my pretty friend,

the fox and his human brother.

- (LAUGHING)

I believe I have
resolved your little riddle.

Chapeau. You play well.

(TAPPING)

Speaking of foxes,

Horowitz and Meyer,
West 47th Street.

Have you heard of them?

I don't believe I have, no.

(LIGHTER CLINKS)

(CHATTER FADES)

(LIGHTER CLINKS SOFTLY)

They're the largest gold traders

in Midtown New York

and you haven't heard of them?

I'm afraid I haven't, no.

I am familiar, of course,
with Horowitz and Haim.

But they're in the west side
of the city.

But then again,

I'm sure you already
knew that, didn't you?

I'm curious,

how do you find
dealing with the Jew?

Oh, dear. (CHUCKLES)

I've slipped from one snare

only to find myself in another.

How shall I put this?

I fear your brilliant leader

has mischaracterized
the ancient tribe of Jahuda.

Their ability to not only

survive 3,000 years
with a boot on their neck,

but to prosper in spite of it...

I suspect it inspired
satanic jealousy within him.

In conclusion,

it looks as though

the lady doth protest too much.

Is there a cherry to go
on this blasphemous cake,

or have you finished?

(LAUGHS)

(TAPPING)

I must confess,

not only do I respect
and admire the Jew...

I am one.

On our current schedule,

they'll arrive

Can it still be done?

M: We're still

from Major Phillips.

If we can't move faster,
we'll go shorter.

We can get to Fernando Po
in 12 days.

Hold on, you said
we couldn't go shorter.

No, I said
we don't want to go shorter.

He said we'll get
mowed down by a U-boat.

And at such times,

(OVER RADIO)
But you are not such men.

You were not chosen

You were chosen

The mission you have been given

It demands ruthless men,

Men who do not keep clean hands.

it's terrible for business.

I'm only too pleased

That's a commendable attitude.

So, what's your plan?

We're going
to sink the Duchessa,

plus the two tugs.

Very good.

The thing is,
our old friends the Nazis

aren't making it the easiest.

We're outnumbered

And she's in full glare

She's not gonna be easy to sink

without attracting
unwanted attention.

Yes. That's why Heron
will plant a bomb

to blow the lights,
before we paddle in

and rig the hull
with explosives.

By the time

Why don't we steal them?

We can use Billy's boat

to drag the Duchessa
out of the harbor

and steal the other two
German tug boats

that service the U-boats.

And how are
we supposed to do that?

Not only is she double-plated,
weighing twice as much,

but you'd need a full crew
to move a ship that size.

The tug boats are the crew.

We tow the Duchessa
out to the ocean

and, well, steal the lot.

Then what?
We still can't sink them.

We don't need to.

We sail
into international waters

and hand everything
over to the Navy.

They're following us anyway,

so they'll be more than happy
to see us again.

And what about the anchor?

Have you seen the size of it?

If we're gonna
actually start to move her,

their S-boats
will catch us in seconds.

Well, what are you going to do

with all the explosives
you brought, Freddy?

We'll use them
to blow the anchor.

We'll rig the S-boats
so they can't follow,

rig the fuel reserve
that supplies the U-boats,

and then, well, blow the lot up.

That fuel explosion's
gonna bring

everyone and their mother
down to the harbor.

GEOFFREY: We set the fuse,

so that the fuel dump blows
once we're outside the harbor.

Then we sneak out quietly.

Not bad.

(CHUCKLES) It's very greedy.

- Well, I'm in.
- LASSEN: Well,

I'm not leaving until I have
a barrel full of Nazi hearts.

I'll do whatever
you tell me to do, sir.

Gentlemen,

let's steal some boats.

(GUS SIGHS)

Turns out she's double-plated,
so change of plans.

We're going
to steal the boats instead.

(SCOFFS)

Is that even possible?

I'm not entirely sure.

But if you're up for it,
so are we.

And you know what that means.

A lot more blood
and a lot more sweat.

Hopefully not any of ours,
old boy.

I don't think we can do this
without you, Billy.

(KAMP BILLY SIGHS)

Well, I'm up for it if you are.

I think we're gonna
need your tug.

(KAMP BILLY CHUCKLES)

Haysey and I will
take a stroll along the harbor

and take out
any soldiers still patrolling.

Freddy will bring
his dinghy around

and take care of the S-boats.

We'll meet you by the tug boats.

KAMP BILLY: And the Duchessa?

That's Apple and me.

We'll take care of any crew
and blow the anchor.

GEOFFREY:
And destroy their comms.

Not sure
what you'll meet on board.

Take my top boy
and two more of my men.

CHURCHILL: Never before
have the senior Military

and Navy Commanders
of this country

been so united
in their condemnation.

It is their view

that the discipline

on which
our armed forces depends

has been undermined
by men serving no master

but their own thirst
for blood, murder and mayhem.

Men who disobeyed a direct order

from the Admiral
of the fleet himself,

and chose instead

to trust the whim and intuition

of the man standing beside him.

How dare they.

When only this morning,

the first American soldiers
arrived on British soil,

ready to stand
shoulder to shoulder

with us in Europe.

Allies who risked death
crossing the North Atlantic,

and only by some miracle

found their crossing
untroubled by Nazi U-boats.

A happy circumstance,
I might add,

which cannot be accounted for,

but which has cleared the way
for the United States

to enter the European war.

And for which I know

President Roosevelt
to be immeasurably grateful.

But setting aside

this stroke
of unexplained fortune,

what is to be done
with this unruly company

who do not obey orders?

Who seem to have formed

their own ministry
of ungentlemanly warfare.
