All language subtitles for Close to the Enemy S01E05 x264 RB58 eng

The Army thinks they run
everything, don't they?

Except you are not really
even the proper army.

You have conspired in the removal

of a senior German
counter-intelligence officer

who was about to reveal
information about the Russians.

This can never, ever, happen again.

It's important that we
understand each other,

so don't lie to me.

I have something you
want and you are, I think,

trying to find out if I
really do have it. Here.

I don't want to fall in love with you.

I have to do everything I can not to.

Not to love you.

My brother's throwing out
all those files in his office,

and I thought you might want them.

I thought we could go
along and grab them.

In December of '38, a very
neatly dressed German diplomat

came to visit the Foreign Office.

He's carrying a message
from the German military.

They would launch a
military coup against Hitler,

but they just wanted one guarantee.

They needed us to say, publicly,

we would go to war with Germany
if Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia.

And the whole war could've been avoided.

Victor? You're still here?!

Yes. I'm sorry, I just got so
involved, I got lost in these.

And all sorts of thoughts
have been tumbling about.

- My own experiences...
- Of course.

I don't know why, because
this is all about the Germans.

But, sometimes,

things come rushing back.

Yes, they must. I understand.

I do realise you went through
a great deal in the war and...

No, no, we don't need to talk
about it. I'm just... checking...

Can't really tell?!

I've made such a terrible mess here,

but the good news is this room
wasn't at all tidy in the first place!

- I hope you don't mind me saying that?
- No, you're probably right,

I spend so little time here.

With your permission, I'm going
to take some of these files home...

quite a lot, in fact...

because they'll never
ever find them in my room.

It's so busy here now.

All due to us, of course!

And now, we have a
surprise for you, Callum.

We're opening all of this up again.

They shut it as soon as the war ended.

God, I love this place!

I can escape from all
my colleagues here,

and from anybody sent to watch me.

We both escape here!

We're going to test
the engine right here.

Yes, and after the test has gone well,

we're going to get all
the senior people here.

What, all the top brass coming here!

That's a marvellous idea!

You can book me the
best seats in the house!

- This all looks tremendous.
- Thank you.

Can I have a word?

About the other night,
everything's been taken care of.

- Completely.
- Completely?

Yes, completely.

Come on, you two. Why
shouldn't you be part of it?

Ah! So, I managed to coax you back!

I didn't need much coaxing.

A fashion show... I
wasn't going to miss that.

It's so wonderful to be home.

And it's wonderful to see you, my dear.

What are you working
on, or is it secret?

It is secret, but I
haven't written it yet.

It's to help me find out something,

but I don't want to get
anybody into trouble.

They can't hold the show now, surely?!

My fingers may freeze to the
piano, but we'll do our best.

I realise how cold you all are.

Today of all days, the heating
has decided to break down,

but we're going to
fix it, I promise you.

We're not going to let some
bloody boiler defeat us!

Now, of course, I'm
going to take this off.

I won't be putting it back
on again until after the show.

No, please don't, miss. I hope
you don't mind me saying this,

but it's important
that we can all see you.

It'll help us get through it.

Ah, there you are!

I've brought something for you.

It's a version of the letter we
talked about. See what you think.

- Don't send it.
- Of course not, thank you.

Harold, you're not so
interested in fashion

I couldn't steal you
for a moment could I?

I just want to introduce
you to someone...

it's the perfume lady,
the one with the secret.

Here we are, Frau Bellinghausen,
I've a tea companion for you.

Have you indeed? Somebody who
doesn't mind missing the show?

Oh, I'd much rather be
here. Harold Lindsay-Jones.

You're a friend of Captain Ferguson?

I am. There are two brothers,

both exceptional people in a way.

Callum must be a very exciting
person to do business with?

- Am I doing business with him?
- I believe you are about to, yes.

I hope you're not too
clever, Mr Lindsay-Jones,

for me to have tea with.

It's even colder out here, honey.

Go back inside.

This is crazy, it's freezing.

I'm going to get the
heating working myself.

So, are they really are having
a fashion show down there?

How strange that seems at the moment.

Yes!

But a bit of colour, a bit of fun...

how much people need that.

It must break your heart what
has happened to this city.

Seeing it after such a time?

I can't bear to look at it.

The devastation, the
horrible wrecked buildings.

We both, I'm sure, remember
how it was before the first war.

Oh, yes, how beautiful it was.

Nobody ever believes me when I
say London was truly beautiful.

In autumn especially.

Yes.

So incredibly lovely in autumn.

And now, I hardly recognise it.

Great clothes, aren't they!

A bit of excitement, a bit of
fun. We all need that, don't we?!

Been miserable for too long.

Come on, everybody!

Bravo!

You have got to see this.

- I have to tell Callum.
- Not right away, Victor.

That's not the best thing
to do, not before we've...

No, no. I have got to tell him!

Victor, what are you doing here?
You're not supposed to be here.

- You've been lied to.
- I couldn't stop him doing this.

Look, look, read it!

Your German worked with V-2 rockets.

He worked with slave labour.

He was in charge. Many people died!

People were executed!

He has lied to you all
the time about everything.

I don't believe you.

I don't care what this
says, I don't believe you!

No! You don't want to believe it!

You always have to do
this, don't you, Victor?

You always have to bring
chaos wherever you go.

You just can't stop yourself, can you?!

You're not going to this time.
I'm not going to let you do that!

The fucking truth, if
that's what you wanted...

Victor!

I have a message from your brother.

He says, "Go home."

- Yes, well, I'm not going home.
- Look, come with me, Victor.

We'll go somewhere quiet and
I promise you we'll find out

what Callum plans to do
about what's in those files.

I'll make sure he leaves the hotel.

Captain Ferguson wants to know
how you got hold of the file.

We pulled it out of the rubbish.

Yes, we stuck our hands right
into the shit and grabbed them.

Not just one, we got 'em all!

Don't worry. They're perfectly
safe. They are all in my flat.

Attention!

Come on, everybody!

There is a surprise
waiting for you downstairs!

Well, I don't know what I feel about
this surprise, but you better come.

Come on, come on! You
know you're curious.

You were at Peenemuende.

And you were at Nordhausen.

I was, yes.

And you worked on the V-2 rocket
programme at the Mittelwerk plant.

You lied to me.

I didn't tell the truth, no.

I could say, of course, that
I didn't lie to you, Callum,

because you've never asked me
about what I did in the war.

It was Miss Griffiths. If
I had told the truth then,

I knew there was a good
chance of being arrested,

of being separated from my daughter,

maybe even not seeing her again.

So, of course, I denied it.

- And?
- And that is it.

The statement from a witness
here, Callum, is not true.

It's not true about me anyway.

Who knows where it came
from, but what a present!

It's going to put me out of a job.

I won't to be able to compete
with you, honey, will I?!

You were aware of the
conditions of the work force?

The slave labour from
Buchenwald Concentration Camp?

The executions of those accused
of sabotage, the beatings,

the hangings? People starving to death?

Of course some of these things went on.

The conditions were appalling.

I'm not going to sit here and deny that,

but I was never involved
in ordering executions

or ever witnessed any,

or knew anyone who
was carrying them out.

And that is the truth.

Then, why were you named in this
statement then from a witness?

That you ordered some executions?

I was very well known
in Germany by then,

famous as the jet-plane man,

just like Wernher Von
Braun was the rocket man.

Everybody working on
that site knew about us.

So, people assumed that
everything that happened

was done in our name...
was what we wanted.

But I say again this
was not true in my case.

I was, in fact, at Nordhausen
for only three months,

I was working in an office
on the edge of the site,

and I did not order anybody to
be killed. I absolutely did not.

I think somebody wants you.

Go and deal with it, Ringwood.

I realise you don't believe me.

It doesn't matter what I believe.

The Government will protect you
from any danger of prosecution.

So, you don't believe me?

Did I say that?

Go and be with your daughter.

Frau Bellinghausen?

So, where is my normal policeman?

Captain Ferguson is
extraordinarily busy at the moment.

"Extraordinarily busy"?

I've not known him be that before.

So, my business will have to wait?

Just right at this
moment, it has to wait.

You can tell him I want
to make progress now.

That might encourage him
to find the time for me.

You can't just stand there,
Callum! You've got to dance!

You see how unnecessary
my music is?! Look at this!

I wish you hadn't told
them they were here.

- Why on earth did you do that?
- I had to.

We stole them, Victor.

We didn't steal them! We rescued them!

It's their property though!

If any good is going to come of
this, I have to cooperate with them.

My brother's not going
to waste any time,

he's going to come after them tonight.

Not tonight.

He knows he doesn't need to do that.

Have you come to wish me a
Happy Christmas, Ferguson?!

Quite the opposite sir.

I had no idea about any of this.

Otherwise, I would have
told you, naturally.

Oh, I know that you would, sir.

Of course this makes no
difference to his work for us.

He has to finish it.
Do you want to stop now?

It would be a complete
bloody nuisance if you did.

Is that why you've come to
spoil my Christmas party?

- To tell me that?
- No, that's not what I'm saying...

not yet.

But we need to move him right
now as a matter of urgency.

We can't run the risk of
him bolting to the Americans

because he thinks we don't believe him.

- Do you believe him?
- Maybe.

I'm not sure yet. We'll see.

He can live at the Research Facility.

We can keep him under constant
surveillance easier there.

He'll have to have his
daughter with him...

she'll need to be driven into
London to school every morning...

This is Ferguson's plan, is it?

- Yes. And there's more.
- More?

We need to run a check in Germany

on what he really did during the war.

Why?

Because we should know the
facts, shouldn't we, sir?

Something might happen,
it's important that we know.

And we have two further problems...

my brother and Miss Griffiths.

Oh, for fuck's sake! She's
not still around, is she?!

I have a plan for that, too.

For both of them, in fact.

Army! Army! Army!

- What on earth is it?!
- We're authorised to search this house.

I told you!

Who sent you?

Callum did, of course!
Don't take them yet!

Not until my brother gets
here. I'm telling you!

You don't need to do that!

For Christ's sake! Is
that really necessary?

I'm going to get shot, am I, for
fishing things out of the rubbish?!

All right, princess,
what's our next selection?

One day, there'll be
one of mine in there.

I always knew that, sooner or
later, I'd get arrested again,

but I didn't think it'd
be by my own brother!

All right, let him go. Let him go!

Ah!

You've made things
very difficult, Victor.

I want to see you at the hotel at
three o'clock tomorrow afternoon...

without fail.

And That's an order, is it?

I'm not sure you can
give me orders, can you?

Miss Griffiths,

you have no more of our
files in this house, have you?

- Or anywhere else for that matter?
- I have not, no.

And I have to say, sending
all these men to get them

is totally ridiculous!

What's going to happen to them now?

Captain Ferguson,

I think it would be a good idea if
we met to discuss what's happened.

That won't be necessary.

But you will be hearing from me.

I have a surprise for you.

She has been allowed to keep all
the clothes from the fashion show.

You have so much luggage, Lotte!

It's like a princess arriving!

Come.

This is where it's
going to happen, Lotte!

We're going to test the engine
and break the sound barrier!

If we're allowed to get that far.

We will get that far.

Ooh!

Darling!

I ran! Out of the office,
into a taxi, up the stairs!

Suddenly, I had an hour or so to spare.

I saw a chance to see
you in daylight for once.

That's a lovely surprise.

It's madness, isn't it,

that I have so little
time at the moment?

It is mad, yes.

And I just wanted to make
sure that you were OK,

that you were happy?

- That I was happy?
- Yes.

Of course I'm happy.

Are you? Good.

I was so proud of you at the
fashion show and everything.

You must do more.

You went behind my back
and you stole the files.

They weren't yours any
more. You threw them away.

I was ordered to do that.

Well, you don't usually do
everything you're ordered to.

- Come with me.
- Going to put me in chains?

In a way.

The hotel lost property.

Things left behind or things
damaged during the war.

No-one's had a chance to sort it.

So, that's what you're going to do.

Am I?

Yes. You see, everything's
all muddled up.

You can start by putting together
anything that belongs together.

That's what you're good at, Victor.

You wanted a job here after all,

and you're going to get paid.

- Do I have a choice?
- You have no choice, no.

I have to somehow stop
them locking you up.

This way, I can keep a close eye on you.

- When do I start?
- Now.

Right, I have an appointment to go to...

but I will be back.

Am I in the right place?

You're in the perfect place.

By the Nazi's suite how
more romantic could you get?

Oh, well, I have a surprise for you.

Goodness.

That is an improvement!

Did you get your staff to do it?

No, believe it or not,
I did it all myself.

Well, most of it, anyway.

Now, it's our own
private withdrawing room.

Sir!

I'm so sorry, sir. Yes, Ringwood?

- It's her again.
- Of course, it is. It's always her.

I'm so sorry. I won't be a moment.

Mrs Lombard here was having a look
at some of the suites in the hotel.

She has friends coming over
from America very shortly.

Please, take all the time you want.

You have been extremely
neglectful, Mr Ferguson.

I have, and I apologise.

You're not going to make an excuse?

No. I have a very good excuse,
but I won't trouble you with it.

That's a good decision.

You did arrange a very
satisfactory tea companion

for me I have to admit,

so I forgive you.

Now, the moment has come, I think,

when we have to explore whether
you and I can really do business.

We can't put it off any more.

You are absolutely right,
and we must do that.

But not today, unfortunately.

You're too busy again?!

Today, yes. I am.

Well, we will have many
days of negotiation,

so I was not intending to start today.

But I suggest you get less
busy again very quickly.

And I will. I couldn't
borrow two of those, could I?

This is a very lovely smell.

- Good.
- Thank you.

The only problem is he saw
us here, your Mr Ringwood.

Now, the whole hotel will know about us,

and our private withdrawing room.

No, they won't.

And besides, everybody here
believes exactly what I tell them.

That's not true.

Well, I don't for a start.

For a few weeks, at least...

we can have everything we want.

Can we?

Alex came rushing back from
work at lunchtime today...

it's the first time he's done that.

I don't think he knows, though.

Do you think he does?

I'm not sure.

The funny thing is he keeps
encouraging me to do more here.

Well, then, you must.

I bet...

we get interrupted.

Nobody's listening this time?

Absolutely not.

Victor?

Victor?!

Victor!

Don't panic! I'm still here.

You haven't made much of a start.

Look, you can go now.

Are you really going to keep
me caged up in here every day?

- You're not caged.
- What if I don't turn up one morning?

Well, you will, because you
know this is a good idea.

This way everything can work, Victor,

including me finding out about Dieter...

- and I can keep you informed.
- You bet you will.

Are you going to help
that funny chap Harold

find his secret file, by the way?

I am, as it happens.

And I've worked out how to do it.

Tell me.

I'm going to use Dieter's
name, it's obvious,

it gives me access to everything.

I'm not going to waste time
writing some stupid letter,

I'm just going to go straight
to the Foreign Office...

- No.
- Yes, I'm going to say Dieter told me

he first came to
England before the war...

to discuss cooperating
on a commercial jetliner.

And because of the
political ramifications,

there was a meeting at the
Foreign Office about it...

No, no, don't! Don't do it, Callum!

And, of course, it
happened the same week

as the meeting Harold is interested in,

but I can't be sure of the exact day...

so I'm going to say I need to
see all the files for that week.

No, no, no... it is madness,

OK. They will trace it
straight back to you!

What? A man from T-Force
asking about aeroplanes?

They couldn't be less
interested in that.

You think you can get away

with absolutely anything
at the moment, don't you?

I think I can make Dieter
finish his work, certainly.

And I can help Harold
expose the bastards

that missed such a golden chance,

and, of course, I can
keep you out of jail.

I think I can do that, yes.

My contact over there says he's
refusing to speak to anyone at all.

But at least he's still in prison.

And not looking that happy about it.

Yes, but unless we can get
some witnesses to give evidence

at his trial, he may well get off.

And, of course, most of
the witnesses are dead.

- Is this a present, Callum?
- In a way, yes.

Feminine scent.

A little unusual for a
gift, perhaps, but very kind!

I like Victor's library.

Especially the stained glass!

He has definitely a
gift for organisation.

Your brother is a talent.

If only he could find a way
to use it that makes him happy.

I know. I would like to
propose a deal to you, Harold.

A deal? That sounds intriguing.

I will get your top-secret file for you.

How? With the letter I suggested?

We still need to find a way
to protect you in that case.

Don't worry, I think
I know how to do it.

But you must discuss it with me, first.

Of course.

And in exchange for me getting it,

I need you to spend time
with the perfume lady.

Ah...

I wasn't expecting that!

Distract her, keep her occupied.

And if, by any chance,

you manage to get the formula
out of her for this bloody scent.

That would save me an awful lot of work.

Start unloading!

- Which one of you is, Miss Griffiths?
- That's me.

That certainly is a surprise.

Good Lord!

Captain Ferguson has arranged for us

to stay in this office
for a few more months.

Why has he done that?

I sent a telegram.

Captain Ferguson, T-Force.

I believe I'm expected.

I've requested to see some files
from a particular week in 1938.

It's a rather urgent matter for
those of us who love aeroplanes.

Callum gave me this bottle of perfume...

Oh, one of them was for you, was it?

It is a delightful smell.

It is. Do you want to know what's in it?

- How it's made?
- I would be fascinated to hear.

I'm certain you would!

Why don't you try to guess.

Orange possibly?

Peach?

No, no, no!

No peach or orange.

Let me give you a little help.

Eau de cologne, for instance,
contains, amongst other things,

lemon, tangerine, lime,

grapefruit, lavender,
rosemary, jasmine, and tobacco.

None of those are in there.

You know, it's sad Captain Ferguson

sent you to do his work for him.

We will have to keep jam jars on
our desks at all times clearly.

So, why do you think
we've been sent these now?

To keep us occupied, I guess.

- To get us off their backs.
- Exactly.

And no doubt they've sifted
through them for anything

that might get in the way of their work.

Yes.

Maybe they've removed
everything of interest.

But you never know.

Unfortunately, it
doesn't seem to be here.

But the meeting definitely
did take place on this week.

I couldn't have a look at
Saturday's file, could I?

Saturday?

There are very few meetings
ever held here on a Saturday.

Please. It is rather important.

Don't worry. I won't go anywhere.

Any luck? There were no
meetings on that Saturday.

So, what is going to happen here?

You're going to change everything?

People spouting poetry?!

Hopefully, not "spouting".

But I thought I could try something
different here once a week.

Take a risk!

And you'll be part of it, Eva, please?

I will.

Good.

But they'll be fighting for the exit,

there'll be a stampede to
get out of here, you know?

Almost certainly.

Hello, Victor.

I'd heard you were
sorting this stuff out.

- You all right?
- Yes.

I'm honoured to have a
visitor here... especially you.

I rarely see anyone.

I was told there was an old
chandelier somewhere here

and I just wanted to take a look at it.

I'm planning a sort of
gala event in the basement.

It's over there.

It is rather beautiful.

Mmm.

You sure you're all right?

It must be really difficult
being down here on your own.

No, no, I can do this job.

It's sometimes I... have these memories,

when it comes back, the fighting.

I'm sure everybody has
them, it's nothing special.

But I was caught up in the
merry show at Monte Cassino,

which was quite a battle.
And, sometimes, it...

Nothing.

It's gone for the moment!

- Callum has them, too, you know?
- Does he?

I'm sure he'll tell you
one day. And so will I.

But, right now, I have this
vital job to do, as you can see.

Extraordinary.

It's all here, yes.

The plan to overthrow
Hitler before the war.

- Did you read it?
- I didn't no.

I wanted to, I just didn't
think I should until...

Quite right. Thank you.

And you really got it just by
strolling into the Foreign Office

with that ridiculous
story about aeroplanes?

- I did.
- I wish you hadn't done that!

I told you to wait, didn't I?

I told you to wait and
to discuss it with me.

And you promised to do that.

Well, I saw a chance to get
it and so I decided to do it.

You shouldn't have done that, Callum!

That was completely
irresponsible and reckless!

And stupid! Why on earth did you do it?!

You wanted the file
and so I got it for you.

I don't know why you're so angry.

I mean, it's my neck
on the line, not yours?!

Exactly, and that's what worries me!

I can't bear to think
of the appalling trouble

you could get into because of this!

I couldn't forgive myself!

That is not going to happen, Harold.

I'm absolutely certain.

I never thought...

You'd ever see me on my
hands and knees painting?!

Exactly. I could have sent
someone to do that for you.

Would that be somebody
from the Army or the hotel?

Or do you run both now?

I can paint a backdrop
myself, for Christ's sake.

Which may or may not change,
depending upon how I feel.

Don't look at me, it's
going to be for you.

All right.

No, it won't. Well, it can't be.

- It always is, Callum.
- Oh, it won't be!

Hello.

I have a call for Captain Ferguson.

Captain Ferguson, I've found somebody
I want in the files you gave me.

Oh, good! I'm glad they were of use.

Yes, they were.

And thank you.

She's called Birgit Mentz.
She worked with Kleinow.

They interrogated many
of our agents together

and tortured them,

before they were executed.

She's, therefore, a crucial witness.

You're holding her at
a place in Colchester.

No, no, no, no. That's
not us. That'll be MI19.

So, there's nothing you can do, then?

Did I say that? How about this?

I get her brought to London so
that you can take a look at her.

Will they let you do that?

If she's proving not
much use to anybody...

I expect they will.

Fraulein Mentz.

I'm Kathy Griffiths.

I realise you've only been
here in London for a few hours,

but they're treating
you all right, are they?

I would try to say it in German, but
I know that you speak good English.

I've come to see you,

because I have a
proposition to put to you.

Lotte!

Not sure you should be here.
This is a restricted area now.

But I'm sure we can make
an exception for you.

Come on! I'll show you round.

It's changed a lot, hasn't it?

Of course, you know
your father's a genius.

Who's a genius?

You... are a genius.

He knows it, of course,

but he likes to have it
said at least once a day.

At least!

Come, Lotte.

How did that go?

Not well.

She wouldn't talk to me
or even look at me, really.

Thank you for getting her here, though.

There's no need to keep thanking me.

You won't get anything out of
her locked up in this place.

She's not going to agree
to give evidence like this.

You have to get to know her.

- Take her for a night out.
- Take her out?!

Yes, for a drink,

a night on the town.

That's a ridiculous idea!

It'd be a total disaster.

You have to take a chance.

Is this what I do or not?

What if I lost her?
What if she ran away?

Bring her to the hotel. And
buy her some new clothes.

- I brought you a drink.
- Thanks.

- Feeling guilty, are you?
- About what?

Keeping me guarded like this.

Punishing me for finding
the file about Dieter.

I'm not punishing you, Victor,

and it seems like
it's going rather well.

I'm working for you, really,
since you're running the hotel now.

By the way, I've given the files

that you pulled out of the
rubbish back to Miss Griffiths.

Turns out they're proving rather useful.

Seems what you did paid off, after all.

Good evening, Kathy.

You looking forward to this?

Not exactly.

It feels very strange, taking her out.

I thought it might. So, Julia here
is kindly going to lend a hand.

Hello. It's bloody freezing, isn't
it?! I shouldn't be wearing this.

As always!

I thought it might be easier with
the two of you, not just you alone.

But, you see, you're not going
to be here? Even in the beginning?

No, I can't. I have an engagement.

Don't worry, Julia here's
been thoroughly briefed.

Besides, you'll get on
much better without me.

Well, thank you for being here.

God knows what's going to happen!

Yes, well, we'll just plunge in.

I'm not sure there's a
good way of doing this.

Callum seems to think I have a
talent for entertaining Nazis.

Here she is.

Welcome to the Connington
Hotel, Fraulein Mentz,

where, nowadays,
everybody has a good time.

They've got the heating on full blast

and it's making no difference at all!

I'm so glad you agreed to this meal.

Of course, I'd agree.

I must apologise for my
extraordinary outburst.

You managed to take me
completely by surprise.

No, no, no.

I'm sorry, it's just my
favourite way of working,

always seems to get me results.

So...

It was really useful,
was it, the document?

It's dynamite.

Everything is there. The people
that turned down the chance,

or, at least, the very real possibility

of getting rid of Hitler in 1938.

If that military coup
had actually happened...

There might not have been a war.

Exactly.

They're all named those that were
present at that crucial meeting

and the evidence they were given.

It absolutely confirms
that these German generals

who were going to launch the coup...

the only thing they wanted
was for us to announce

that we'd definitely go to war
if Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia,

that's all they required
to trigger the coup.

Because they felt the German people

had no appetite for
war at that moment...

and, therefore, they
could justify their action.

So, are you going to
make this all public?

Yes, but how I do it

needs very careful thought.

The best chance I have, I think,
is at a Foreign Office dinner

they're giving in my honour,

if I can reveal it suddenly,

in a seemingly spontaneous
way in my speech, then...

the information could have come from
any number of people, couldn't it?

Yes!

And I have a journalist friend I trust,

who I will make sure is
there that night to hear it.

I love the idea of
shaming those responsible,

putting a bomb under them,

not letting the guilty
men get away with it!

You could cause a sensation, Harold.

A sensation would be
good, even a small one.

I'm pretty sure I've
never caused one before.

Do you like the movies Fraulein Mentz?

A little.

I haven't been to one in
a long time, of course.

Well, we should try and do something
about that. I'm in the movies!

Well after a fashion,
I've just did my first one.

I had my own dressing
room. Very thin walls.

I could hear everything
the actress did next door,

including having sex very loudly

during nearly every lunch break!

Made me quite jealous.

Awful, isn't it? But I admit it!

During the war, I had so many lovers.

Much harder now, of course.

Come on, Mr Ferguson,
you've no business in there.

Marvellous, aren't they?

Thank God seafood isn't rationed!

And, of course, you have every excuse
to gorge yourself tonight. The plan.

But, you know, I would never do anything
that would endanger you in any way.

Of course, I know that.

I hope it's obvious. I've grown
very fond of you and your brother.

You both have such energy...

and anger, too, of course.

Well, rage more like!

Hopefully not rage. That can
get one into serious trouble.

You know the strange
thing about me, Callum,

and I would never say this to anyone
else because it can be misinterpreted,

but I have a great capacity for love,

for parental love in particular.

If one is allowed to say
that about one's self.

Of course one is.

I have no children, as you know,
but there is Lucy, thank goodness,

my brother's child. He and his
wife were killed in the war.

We came off very badly as a family.

My wife, too, of course.

Three deaths.

So...

I have this talent for loving people

and the need to use it.

I've never told anybody that.

I'm glad you've told me.

Men betray us, don't they?

Do they?

- Always.
- They do,

and they get away with
it nearly every time,

because they think we're not
going to do anything about it.

Something will always stop
us. But it doesn't need to.

I have to go now.

Well, that was a bit clumsy, wasn't it?

I was a bit loud. I didn't really
get her to say anything at all.

No, you did brilliantly, thank you.

Well, it's good preparation
for me, at least.

I'm going on tour tomorrow up North,

to do a funny old play
called Daggers Drawn.

I play a murderess!

My God, fog now?

Ice and fog what more can
they throw at us tonight?!

We'll never get a cab, Callum.

Oh, yes, we will.

You're forgetting how competitive I am.

Come on, let's get ahead of this lot!

Harold?

Harold! Harold! What's happened?

- Get me home.
- What's happened?!

Taxi!

Can you move, Harold?

Taxi! Taxi!

Stop! Stop!

Get the hell out of the
way, I'm booked, mate.

No, you're fucking not.
This is an emergency!

Can you move? Harold!
Nod if you can move.

Up we go. Up we go, that's it.

To the hospital!

Just take me home. It's
the oysters. Bloody oysters!

I thought you were dying, Harold.

That you'd had a heart attack.

Or the Intelligence Service

had poisoned you because of your plan.

You would think that.

It's because you're one of them.

It was the oysters.

I overindulged massively.

Thank you...

for being so good to me.

Don't be stupid.

I promise I'm not going to
conk out yet, not a bit of it!

I've got so much to do.

Both of us have.

So, we're getting closer to
the big day as you can see.

First, we do a test for
ourselves, of course.

Well, we've been getting
close for quite a while now.

What are we talking about?
When can we see something?

A few weeks. A couple of months?

A couple of months?!

You're getting impatient
now, Callum, are you?

A little, yes!

I need results as much as anybody.

Yes, of course.

And now I have something else
very special to tell you, Callum.

Before I tell you, I
need to know something.

Callum, do you believe me?

About my work at Nordhausen?

I'm doing my best to believe you.

I hope you check the
facts in any way you can.

We are in Germany.

But I haven't received
any information back yet.

Then hurry them up.

The reason it's so
important you believe me

is I like to think we're almost friends.

If there is such a thing
as "almost friends"?

Well, I'm not sure that there is.

but it doesn't matter.

We are friends.

Good.

So, I can tell you.

Nobody must know this.

It's a total secret.

But I'm getting married.

- Married?!
- Yes, married!

We haven't told anybody so
far. Not even Lotte knows yet!

I knew you two liked
each other, but marriage?!

That is a surprise, Dieter...

Oh, no! Excuse me, Callum, not her!

I'm not marrying her...
as much as I like her.

Well, then, who the hell
are you marrying, Dieter?!

Doesn't she look enchanting?

She does.

My friend, another thing
I haven't told anybody,

except her, of course,

I love her so much.

It's the most amazing feeling.

It's still a secret, of course,
I will tell Lotte nearer the time.

Oh, come to help, you two?

Not before time. We open in two hours!

The big question is,
will anybody show up?

So, I want to welcome you all here...

Thank you!

I've never made a speech
after a drumroll before.

I've hardly ever made a speech at all.

But I just wanted to say a few words
about the purpose of this evening

and I sincerely hope that
it won't be the last one.

It is a mixture of music and poetry,

some of it old, a lot of it new.

It is, if you like,

like jazz and classical

all muddled up together.

There are no boundaries
here, no categories.

But to make you feel at home,

we're going to start with the familiar.

So please, welcome...

the wonderful Eva and her musicians.

But with something new!

Hang on, everybody!

Now I'm doing this

because I know how terrifying
it is reading in public.

I am, in fact, terrified,

because I don't usually make a
habit of doing this performing.

But I know if I do it, however badly,

others of you will come up
and read your poetry to us.

Now, I'm no poet myself, of course,

but I would like to read a
poem by a fellow American,

Emily Dickinson, who is not
nearly as well known in London

as she should be, in my opinion.

I taste a liquor never brewed

From tankards scooped in pearl

Not all the vats upon the Rhine

Yield such an alcohol

Inebriate of air, am I

And debauchee of dew

Reeling, through endless summer days

From inns of molten blue.

Victor!

What are you doing here?!

That's not much of a greeting.
I need to talk to you urgently.

Can you wait outside?

- Victor, I only have a second.
- Yes, now, I have to tell you this,

because it is very important.

I've got some more files!
I buried some in the garden.

- Buried some in the garden?
- Yes, now, I've just dug them up,

so I haven't had a real
chance to read them yet, but...

I think there may be some really
good new information there.

And I thought that we should
go through them together.

Well, we're a team now, aren't we?
And it works best together so...

Victor, I can't at the moment.

You're too busy for that?

You can't be!

I've made an important contact,

Callum helped me meet her.

She worked with Kleinow.

I'm seeing if there's anything I can do

to get her to give
evidence at his trial.

I'm spending some time with her.

I see. Taking her out in the
evening, are you, for a few drinks?

Giving those Nazis a whale of a time!

Everybody's doing it now,
aren't they? You and Callum...

Yes, I'm using his methods,
because they might just work.

Listen, Victor, I really
appreciate your wanting to help,

but I have everything I
need right now. I must go.

So, you just don't want the files?

Yes, that's what you're
saying? You're not interested?!

I'm not saying that, of course.
But, Victor, I have to go.

I don't want any trouble, please.

It's the last thing I need tonight.

So, I've become trouble now, have I?

That's so easy to say
about me, isn't it?

No, no.

Victor, I have to go.

The Winter Cottage.

Dead shore that lies
beyond the cottage walls

Crunching under my feet
in moonlight, scaly cold...

I'm going to be very
bold, Frau Bellinghausen.

Bold? Do you think that's a good idea?

Probably not, and this may be the
last conversation we ever have,

but I'm going to suggest
you leave this room tonight,

and sample a little of what's happening.

Go downstairs?

To see this event?

I couldn't possibly do that.

I find it so difficult to be
with other people at the moment,

in a crowd of any sort.

You won't need to go downstairs.

You're almost there.

Goodness!

Is this for me?

Yes, I had it prepared this evening.

And now, for an aria by Handel,
accompanied by Jack here,

who usually plays jazz
trumpet as you've seen

and he has never done this before.

Two sides of music coming together.

This is surprise. That's Handel!

A German in London.

And I was an Englishwoman in Germany.

Yes, the trumpet playing
is marvellous, isn't it?

Yes.

Music is such a strong force, isn't it?

Provokes such thoughts inside one.

Go! Go! Go down there, please.

Don't miss it all because of
me. That would be ridiculous.

I don't have to leave yet.

Please, I have my own
waiter and everything.

What luxury!

Ah!

Just thought I'd drop by to say hello!

Mr Ferguson! Your brother is not here.

No, no, I can see that.

I thought I'd show you I
can get back into this hotel

without anybody at all noticing.

I also thought that it
was time to tell the world

about what's going on.

How we're giving Nazis
a night out on the town

and lovely new lives if
we think they're worth it.

I'm pretty sure people
would be very interested

to hear about that, don't you?
