Fog of War (2025) Movie Script
1
I sometimes have nightmares
that the Germans captured you
and put you in a camp.
Sometimes worse.
Sometimes in the dreams,
I'm screaming for you
to do whatever it is
you need to do.
To join them.
Do whatever you have to do
to stay alive.
They're coming!
Comin' in--
Joey, no!
(OVER RADIO
Parachutes!
Mayday! Mayday!
Bail! Bail!
Gene.
Gene.
Gene, over here.
You okay?
Looks like you're doing
a lot better than me, brother.
Let me look.
Okay.
Can you move?
I think it missed my vitals,
but I'm gonna need a medic soon.
- Okay, okay.
- You're gonna be okay.
I think the coast
is a few hundred yards that way.
We're gonna try
and find some friendlies,
and get out of here.
Where's Joey?
He's over there.
Stay here, I'll be right back.
I ain't goin' anywhere.
Joey. Joey. I'm here, buddy.
I'm here. You okay?
Hey.
Hey, Joey.
I'm sorry, buddy.
Sorry, buddy. I'm sorry.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Get back, get back.
Please, please, please,
please, please.
Please, I have a wife.
I have a wife. I have a wife.
I have a wife.
I have a wife.
I've got children.
Go on inside,
he's expecting you.
It's open.
Sir, you wanted to see me?
Oh, McVean.
Come on in, close the door.
How's the training goin'
on the field?
Yeah, I think we have some of
our most promising recruits yet.
Good.
We're gonna need 'em.
What do you mean?
Ah, top secret plans
for an operational invasion
have been compromised.
Plans for landing sites,
ship positions,
launch times, all stolen.
We're halting all OSS operations
in Europe until further notice.
And British SOE and OSS
are in agreement.
If the Germans get their hands
on those plans,
we could lose our footing
in France.
And quite possibly the war.
Jesus Christ.
Come in.
Ah, one of the top recruits
we were just talking about.
Sir.
Agent Duncolm.
Your name's been
coming up a lot lately.
I understand your fianc
was shot down over France.
Yes, sir, the resistance
found him,
helped him out of the country
a few weeks ago.
I haven't seen him
since he's been convalescing
in Pennsylvania.
You must miss each other
very much.
Yes, sir.
Hospital discharge papers.
You work harder
than anyone here.
Your fianc needs you.
And quite frankly,
you could use a break.
I don't know what to say.
Thank you, sir.
And my deployment overseas?
Well, that day
may very well come.
But in the meantime, consider
this a temporary blessing
in a time where
there really aren't any.
Thank you, sir.
Should we really be giving
Agent Duncolm leave right now?
McVean, what do you know
about Penny's fianc?
Good morning, sir.
How's the pain?
Okay, but on a scale of 1 to 10?
- Four.
- Okay.
- I feel strong.
- Lieutenant Lewis?
I'm Captain McVean.
This is my associate.
Agent Alexander, OSS.
Do you mind if we speak
in private for a moment?
Yeah, sure.
How you holdin' up?
I'll be a lot better
when I get out of here.
I'd say you're a lucky man.
How so?
You're lucky to be alive.
It could be a lot worse.
Your fiance Penny Duncolm...
She okay?
Perfectly fine.
You're aware her uncle
owns a property up north?
Yeah, she grew up there.
A few days ago, there was
a highly sensitive operation
that was compromised.
Since then,
intelligence has intercepted
some unusual transmissions,
coincidentally coming
from an area near the farm.
We need somebody up there
to check things out.
Check out what, exactly?
Take a look around,
report back on anything unusual.
Does Penny know?
She's being provided leave
to go visit her aunt and uncle.
That's as far as it goes.
Having her run the operation
would only bring
unnecessary concern.
She's an incredible agent.
They'd raise too many questions.
You understand that, right?
Listen, son.
I know what it's like
to lose loved ones in a war.
The anger.
The shame.
This is how you fight back.
This is how you can do your part
and still be of service
to this country.
You're askin' me to lie
to my fiance and her family.
Not to lie.
To protect.
You're not spying on them.
There could be
a dangerous enemy lurking.
And they don't even know it.
Do I even have a choice?
Thank you, Lieutenant.
Attention
- Excuse me, sir.
- Is this seat taken?
Yes, it is, actually.
Penny.
Gene.
I, uh...
I can't believe it.
I thought we might never...
Me too.
So what is this I hear about you
becomin' a full-fledged
OSS field agent?
Is that true?
Well, we all have our part
to play in this war.
I guess that's mine.
Mm.
Always so modest.
But always an overachiever.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
I cannot wait to introduce you
to Uncle Bob and Aunt Maude.
Hmm.
As my fianc.
The war hero.
Attention passengers,
the 245 Express to Boston
-That'd be us.
-Oh.
...is now arriving
on platform three.
- And so I said, " You know,
- I know that you know that
And in the summers,
I'd take long walks by the water
at sunset.
Such a beautiful view.
It'll take your breath away.
Hmm.
I-- I-- I can't wait to see it.
What is it?
Well, it's just I know
how much you love this place.
I wish we were goin'
under different circumstances.
If you think about it,
we're getting the chance
to leave the world behind.
All the fear,
and the uncertainty.
I'm very grateful for that.
You're right.
I am, too.
In the morning,
the fog is so thick that
you can barely see.
But then the fog lifts,
and it's so beautiful.
You're gonna love it there.
I'll grab your bags.
Thanks.
There she is!
Uncle Bob!
There she is.
Let me take a look at you.
-I've missed you.
-You look fine.
You must be so thrilled to
be back home.
-Are you?
-Yes, very.
This must be Gene.
Uh, yes, Uncle Bob.
This is Gene Lewis.
It's a pleasure
to meet you, sir.
-Thank you for havin' us.
-You are most welcome.
You have
a very beautiful property.
Thank you.
Oh, and just through there,
about a hundred yards,
is the ocean.
- Amazing.
- Yeah.
Just chills you to the bone.
Just thinkin' that right
across that ocean
are thousands of Germans just...
just itchin'
to get their hands on us.
Come.
Storm could break it any
minute.
Jock and Jocelyn
have their own quarters
on the property.
- They help us out.
- I see.
Well, they've got their hands
full in Europe.
No sense in them bringing
the war to us.
Um, I'm gonna say hi to
Aunt Maude.
Why don't you give Gene
the tour?
That sounds like a good idea.
Absolutely.
This way.
I'll show you around.
Uh, Penny, did Maude tell you
we have a new hire?
Uh, yes. Viktor, isn't it?
Yeah, a refugee from Europe.
Another one
of her passion projects?
- You know how she is.
- Right.
He's been great with
helping Maude around the house.
- Say hello.
- I will.
This way, Gene.
So we got about 100 acres.
Uh, as you can see, we have--
we have sheep.
Some livestock.
One last stop.
I just have to pick up something
from the barn.
-Watch your step.
-Uh, thanks.
- Watch your step there.
- Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Who's the, uh, painter?
Well, I dabble here and there.
I used to deal in rare imports,
but since the war,
well, just do what I can
to keep everybody fed
till this thing's over.
How about you?
How's your family coping?
Oh, well, actually,
it's, uh, just me.
Both my parents passed when
I was in high school.
Oh.
Damn it! Forgive me.
-Penny told me.
-It's okay.
I am so sorry.
I know better.
Uh, it was a car accident.
-Is that right?
-That's right.
- You were from Ohio?
- Mm-hmm.
Well, we won't starve tonight.
Darling?
Darling?
I brought you a rabbit
and a lieutenant.
Ah!
Oh!
Well, look at you.
Penny was right.
You're a very handsome man.
- Gene Lewis.
- Maude.
Very happy to have you.
Nice to meet you. Thank you.
Where have you been?
Oh, um, in the barn.
Where's Penny?
She's in her room
unpacking her bags.
You are
one of the privileged few.
He never lets me see
his paintings
until they're finished.
You must have impressed him.
I've just made some coffee.
Would you like a nice cup?
Uh, no, ma'am.
I'm fine, thank you.
Oh, all right.
Well, one for my sweetie.
Thank you, my dear.
Let me show you upstairs
to your room.
I sure hope that Penny warned
you about the weather up here.
Once this thick fog sets in,
there's really nothing for it
except to stoke the fire
and put on the kettle.
Sounds charming.
I can't tell you
the number of times
we've been stranded
coming back from the city.
Every inn along the way knows us
well by now.
You have a very eclectic taste
for a farmhouse.
Oh, well, when we moved here,
I felt determined to bring
some of our city life with us.
Of course, I couldn't give up
my books.
Penny said you're partial
to Carl Jung.
- Is that right?
- Yes.
Actually, I'm part
of an informal little group
of Dr. Jung's acolytes.
Marie-Louise von Franz,
Joseph Campbell.
All our work has commonalities.
I'm actually writing
my dissertation
on the hero archetype in
Norse myths
as relates to the universal
unconscious.
Well, that sounds fascinating,
but completely over my head.
No, you would love it
because you would relate
as a warrior.
There's so much strength in
those tales.
So, this here is Viktor's room,
and yours would be right there.
- Thank you again.
- You're welcome.
If you need anything,
just let me know.
See you at mealtime.
See you then.
Would you like some help
unpacking?
Oh. No, that's okay.
I just want to put
a couple things away.
I was actually thinkin' about
going for a walk in a little bit
-to stretch my leg.
-Yeah, um--
If you want to join me.
Do you mind
if I took a rain check?
I just haven't seen Uncle Bob
and Aunt Maude in a while.
I hate to keep them waiting.
Yeah, of course.
We'll just bore you anyhow.
You should go.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, well.
And that'll give me plenty
of time to talk about you.
What are you gonna say?
-Probably the worst.
-The worst.
There's nothing bad about me.
Who's this?
Is that you and your mom?
That shouldn't be in here.
I'm gonna go finish unpacking.
Okay.
Well, what do you think,
darling?
Well, from what Penny has said,
he seems disillusioned.
Slightly broken.
Yes, I think that his experience
has done something to him.
Might have opened him up.
Maybe.
Not every evil comes to
destroy us.
No, no, no.
But this is Penny
we're talking about.
I think she's young.
And I'm hoping that she's not
only thinking with her heart,
but with her head.
Maybe.
I mean, this is...
This is a big decision.
There she is.
Hello.
Hello.
Well, what do you think?
I-- I-- I think
that he's very well turned out.
I can see what you see in him.
Yes, yes.
He's very, uh,
very well-mannered.
Um, very pleasant.
I haven't seen
behind the mask yet,
but I assume you have.
Yes, I have.
It means a lot
that you like him.
Like him?
I didn't say I like him.
Don't put words in my mouth,
Penny.
All right, Bob. Come on now.
I mean, we've got to be honest.
Bob.
You know what an important
decision this is.
Yes?
Yes.
Good.
Gene Lewis.
Viktor.
You must be the pilot
Bob and Maude
have been talking about.
So where you from, Vik?
Belgium.
And it's Viktor, please.
Sorry.
Do be careful walking at night.
Through the forest there.
There are cliffs about
that you can walk up upon
and never realize
they are there.
Thanks for the heads up.
Don't stay out here too long.
Like I said,
it can be treacherous.
"The people saw the divine
in the natural world
around them,
in the rhythms of the seasons,
and in the patterns of
the stars.
They sought to maintain a sense
of balance and harmony
with this sacred world,
through rituals and practices
that reflected
their understanding
of the cosmic order."
A delicious worldview.
So, Viktor, I hear
you're a fantastic sailor.
No, no, no.
I do okay.
But I do love the seas.
Sailing these waters is hard.
Not for a pro like you.
A novice like me, though,
well, without a lighthouse
nearby,
I wouldn't wanna try it myself.
Not around here.
There you are.
I, uh,
nearly didn't make it back.
All goes rolling so quickly.
Give the man some whiskey.
Thank you.
So what about you, Gene?
Are you as talented on the sea
as you are in air?
Oh, uh, no. Not at all.
Quite the opposite really.
Oh, there's no need to be modest
in this house.
I'm sure
with your skills as a pilot,
you'd take to sailing like that.
Well, thank you.
So are these all yours, Bob?
Oh, no, these are old--
old paintings.
That's, uh,
that's our old family estate.
We can trace our ancestry
back to
when the first Vikings
raided Scottish shores.
On both sides.
It's true.
I wasn't having you on
when I said we come from
a long line of Scottish Lairds.
My grandpa was a socialist.
He used most of
the family's money
and immigrated to the States
in the late 1800s.
He was a man of principle.
- Right.
- Right.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
What about you, Viktor?
How'd you come to find yourself
all the way out here?
You know,
that's a very long story.
How about the short version?
Back home, I couldn't afford
to support my family.
Belgium is small and jobs
are scarce.
So I traveled.
Made it just outside of Belgium
when the country fell
to the Nazis.
Hmm.
Are you able to
send them money now?
I haven't heard from them since.
Where's your wedding ring?
Oh, it's gotten quite chilly,
darling.
Shall we get some more--
I'll get some more logs
for the fire.
And, uh, some potatoes.
Penny, can you give us a hand?
Okay, sure.
Hello.
Hi.
Just wanted to pop in
and say goodnight.
Come in.
What were you working on?
Oh, nothin'.
Just doodlin'.
Oh.
An artist, huh?
Did Bob inspire you?
Yes.
Yes, I wanna learn
to paint ships
and old family estates.
I hope they weren't too much.
I just mean I know they have
very distinctive personalities.
Oh.
Yeah, sure, but they're very
nice people.
Very smart, too.
Especially Maude.
Yes.
But I don't know what she's
talkin' about half the time.
Neither do I.
I'm very lucky to have them.
Yeah.
Hmm.
They're the only real family
I have left.
So...
...I wanted to see them again.
You know, just in case.
In case what?
Well, if the--
if the war isn't over soon,
I'll have to go back overseas
eventually.
So...
Penny,
nothing is going to happen
to you.
Yeah, you're probably right.
I just can't bear to think of
not being with you.
We shouldn't, I think.
Well, I-- I--
I don't wanna disrespect
Bob and Maude.
Oh.
In their house.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, you're right.
We should probably
go outside then.
No, I think
you'll just have to wait.
Forever and a day,
forever and ever.
Good night, my love.
Sweet dreams.
If they get married on the farm,
do you think they'd let us come?
I don't know. Maybe.
Can I get a new dress
if they do?
We'll see, sweetie.
Hey, uh,
I wanna check on somethin'.
Come with me.
You're not from around here.
Uh, no, sir.
I'm staying with Bob and Maude.
Gene. Gene Lewis.
I'm engaged to their niece
Penny.
Oh, congratulations!
Lovely family to marry into.
A testament really
with all they've been through.
Uh, I'm sorry.
Actually, I don't think
I understand.
Penny didn't tell you?
Well, that's not my business
anyway.
This is Sergeant Collins.
I'm Captain Quinn.
Out here alone?
No, I actually came out
to see...
He was here a minute ago.
- Is it that Viktor guy?
- The lodger?
I keep tryin' to talk to him,
and he's never around.
Tough to pin down.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
What happened to your leg?
I was wounded in France.
Hmm.
Plane crash?
- You already know?
- I do.
We have a mutual connection.
McVean.
He asked for a report.
I've actually written
a few things down.
About that lodger, Viktor.
Um, nothing concrete yet,
but you know, it's--
We only had a few interactions,
but it's all on there.
This is the telephone to camp.
If you need anything, anything,
give me a call.
Will do, thank you.
Keep your wits about you.
Absolutely.
Who was that?
Where'd you go?
Oh, taking care
of all the sheep.
The, uh, State Guard Captain
was here.
Oh, routine patrols.
So what brings you out here?
Well, I was hopin'
you could take me into town.
So I can grab a few things
I'm runnin' low on
and get out of the house.
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
We're all done here.
I can pack this up later.
- Hop on in.
- Thank you.
State Guard.
He mentioned somethin' about all
the bad that's happened
to Penny's family.
What about it?
Do you know
what he was talkin' about?
-Probably her mother's death.
-Jocelyn.
What?
You didn't know?
She doesn't talk
about her parents.
Maude practically raised her
as her own since she was
a young girl.
-How'd she die?
-We-- we don't really know.
People just say that she
went out for a walk one night,
and then the next day
they found her body
at the base of the cliffs,
by the water on the rocks.
People say that
she never did quite recover
from Penny's father dyin' in
the Great War.
It's a real tragedy.
That's when Bob and Maude
took her in
and raised her as their own.
So don't tell no one
we told you neither.
Bob's warned me a lot of times
about ever
bringin' that up in front
of Penny.
Hang-- hang on.
Something's wrong.
Something's wrong with
the engine.
Why don't you guys just
sit tight,
I'll take care of this.
How's his leg holdin' up?
You know, the wound,
is it healing?
Uh, I mean, it's okay.
Not healed, but it's fine.
Yeah, these things take time.
True.
I'm trying, Penny.
I'm-- I'm really trying.
But I'm just not seeing what
you're seeing in this man.
You're not meeting him
at his best.
I think France changed him.
He's just...
I think
it's all hitting him now.
I just want you to be with a man
of substance, and confidence,
and vision.
You have to trust this man
with your life.
And I do.
He's trustworthy.
He really is.
Just-- just give him time.
You'll see what I see.
He's committed.
Well, he fell in love with you.
-Rght.
-That's a commitment.
- Oh.
- Oh, Gene, there you are.
Everything okay?
Sorry,
I was just about to come in.
Oh, no, no. Finish.
I don't mind.
- Hi.
- Hi.
So where have you been?
Oh, I, uh...
I asked Jock
to take me into town, but...
Let me guess.
You didn't make it.
Right.
Jock's had a few run-ins
with the law.
Drunk and disorderly.
Nowadays, he'll do anything
to avoid going into town
and the temptations.
So...
That doesn't surprise me
for some reason.
Yes, I know what you mean.
The look.
Hey, Stern.
Jock said he saw you speaking
with the State Guard.
Oh, he just stopped by
for a minute.
Um, he was asking about Viktor,
actually.
He seemed concerned there was
someone living here
whom he hasn't met.
Hmm.
Well, I'm sure
it's just a misunderstanding.
-Come on.
-All right. Yeah.
It's been real nice
havin' Penny back.
Bob and Maude just light up
whenever she's around.
Yeah, she's talked
about this place a lot.
I think this is the longest
she's ever been away.
How did you and Penny meet?
It was in England,
after she escaped Paris.
Love at first sight?
No, not exactly.
I asked her out so many times,
I thought the war would end
before she ever said yes.
Luckily, my resolve
is stronger than hers.
What was she doing in Paris?
What about you, Viktor?
It must be difficult bein'
so far away from home.
Where was that again?
- Belgium.
- Belgium.
Not Antwerp by any chance?
I am.
My father was stationed there
for a brief time
after the last war.
He told me all
about this nightclub.
The Black Cat.
You must know of it.
No?
Uh, he said anyone
who ever stepped foot in Antwerp
would know about
the Black Cat Club.
Of course.
Wonderful place. The Black Cat.
Yeah.
No, wait.
It was Ghent.
My father was stationed
in Ghent.
Gene, you okay?
What happened?
Must have slipped.
Are you okay?
- Hey, hon.
- Back from the barn already?
You must have had fun
getting out of the house.
How was it?
Well, you know,
besides almost being impaled
by a bucket of falling tools,
you were right.
-It was fun.
-Oh, no. Are you all right?
- Yeah, no, I'm fine.
- It just missed me.
Banged my knee tryin' to dodge
out of the way, though.
I was right in front of Viktor.
Surprise.
I'm sure
it was just an accident.
Yeah, maybe.
You're not suggesting
he did it on purpose, are you?
No.
Not exactly.
There's just somethin'
about this guy I don't trust.
Hello.
I'm so sorry.
It took forever at the library.
They did not want
to let me take home
their precious foreign editions,
but eventually I got my way.
Anyhow, we'll be making our way
to the city
and should be back home
in two days,
as long as the fog holds.
But you never do know.
It wouldn't be the first time
we got trapped.
Is there any way
I can help them out there?
Oh, I think
they've got it under control.
Why don't you two lovebirds
spend a little time together?
Yeah, how about we go
for that walk?
Build up your leg strength?
Sounds good.
Wow, it really is beautiful
here.
Mm-hmm.
Sometimes I think
it'd be the perfect escape.
Just hide here
until the war is over.
If only.
I mean,
what are we even fighting for?
It's not our war.
At least, not in Europe.
What are you talkin' about?
You don't mean that, do you?
No, I...
I don't mean it like that.
How do you mean?
I just-- I just mean that
I've seen
what we are capable of.
I'm not sure our side
is all that good either.
Of course not, Penny.
But what we're fightin' against
is somethin' else.
- Yes.
- It's pure evil.
I know, I know. Of course.
You're right.
It just gets to me sometimes.
All of the death.
All of the secrets.
And I-- I just wish
we'd met before all this.
I'm just happy we met at all.
Me, too.
You know what's so great
about this place?
Hmm?
There's no one around to be
disrespected.
Okay.
Oh, no.
Something.
Lipstick?
Yeah.
Hungry?
Where'd all this food come from?
What do you mean?
It's a week's worth of rations,
at least.
And?
-And it's illegal.
-No, it's fine.
It's not fine, Viktor.
Families need this food.
Where did you get it?
What's all this?
Viktor?
It was supposed to be
a peace offering, actually.
Where did you get it?
A farmer who I work for
sometimes pays me
from his stock.
Sausages, eggs, bacon,
that sort of thing.
I was going to share them
with you.
Well, thank you, Viktor.
That sounds nice.
Hey, what was that about?
You don't really buy that,
do you?
What?
- None of that
seems strange to you?
Keep your voice down.
- He's hoarding food, Penny.
- Okay.
Farmers aren't supposed to
just give that away.
He's sharing with us.
He's being kind.
Bob trusts Viktor,
and that should be
enough for us, right?
Right.
But I'm not eatin' that food.
Fine.
Mmm, the food is delicious,
Viktor.
Thank you.
Yeah, thanks, Vik.
Penny!
Penny, no! No!
Sorry if I woke you.
You might have
the others fooled,
not me.
You hear me?
Do we have another problem here?
Something I'm not aware of?
You really think I don't know,
Viktor?
Know what?
What are you doing?
Who were you tryin' to contact
on that radio last night?
Listen.
I can explain.
Yeah, I think you'd better.
No more lies.
I was trying to reach my wife.
The resistance in France
promised they would find her.
I said no more lies!
I'm not lying.
Bullshit!
That radio
wouldn't reach France.
There are relay stations
set up all along the coast.
It's over, Viktor.
I'm turning you in
to the State Guard.
And they're gonna take care
of the rest.
You Nazi piece of shit.
You should be careful
pulling guns
on people you don't know.
Or you'll find yourself
in over your head
quicker than you expect.
Gene?
Not everything is as it seems.
Gene?
What the hell's going on
in here?
He took a wrong step.
Lost his footing.
I was just helping him up.
Isn't that right?
Gene!
What was that all about?
I gave that man
the benefit of the doubt, Penny.
I swear I did, but...
- What?
- He's a Nazi spy!
- Who, Viktor?
- Yes!
I caught him usin' a radio
in his room last night.
- A radio?
- A radio.
Uh, it's--
it's a briefcase-sized radio.
It was right there in his room.
And now it's gone.
And you saw this how?
Were you spying on him?
What? No!
I woke up
in the middle of the night.
And?
And I went into his room.
I knew it.
What was I supposed to do,
Penny?
What was I supposed to do?
- Ignore it?
- I knew it.
How about he came into my room
with a gun?
Stood right there with a gun!
-You don't believe me.
-Goodness, Gene.
Do you believe me or not?
Gene, come on.
Do you believe me or not?
I mean, you-- you just--
you must know how his sounds.
I didn't make it up!
I know what I saw!
I'm sorry,
but I know what I saw.
Gene, stop.
I'm not makin' this up.
I promise you--
I-- it's fine.
I believe you. Okay?
I believe you.
I'll check with the OSS.
See if they have anything
on him.
For you. Okay?
Fine.
Thank you.
I guess
I should check on Viktor.
Why?
Keep your enemies closer, right?
And you made an ass of yourself.
I'm so sorry about all of that.
He's become fixated on you.
Paranoid even.
He doesn't seem well.
He's not.
I'm afraid he's goin' to
do something irrational.
I just don't understand it.
Why would he say these things
about you?
It's hard for anyone to be
themselves in a time of war.
It is, isn't it?
Yes, that's right.
He's been snooping around
as well.
I think there's reason
to believe
that he has more information
than he's leading on.
Understood.
Penny, I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
Gene, that was OSS.
I brought up Viktor.
- Is everything okay?
- Yeah, yes.
I just, um...
There's a prisoner
at the field office.
He may have information
on Viktor.
- Oh.
- So...
Should I go in and talk to him?
No, no, it's okay. I got it.
I just need to
grab my gloves real quick.
Who are you meeting?
Who are you meeting?
Where are the files?
- Where, you piece of shit?
- Sergeant!
Can't you see he's had enough?
- But ma'am, I was told--
- Out!
- Ma'am, I was told to--
- Now!
Nazi scumbag. Traitor.
I have to apologize
on behalf of the sergeant.
He's...
Well, he went through a lot
over the last war.
And I think it's made him
a bit of a sadist.
But now that he's gone,
and we're alone,
you and I can have a chat.
Exactly what are you doing?
Nothin'.
Doesn't seem nothing.
Yeah, well, what is it you said?
Everything's not as it seems.
Sorry to keep you waiting
all day.
That's all right.
I kept busy.
Still.
Gave me a chance to spend
some time down around the water.
Glad something good came of it.
A funny thing, too.
I actually saw a sailboat
headin' inland,
right up along the coastline.
Right by the cliff face.
Aren't there a lot of sailors
around here?
Sure.
Really not be sailin'
this time of year.
Especially not in that area.
I'm not sayin' nothin'
about a guest,
but Viktor's truck was
gone today,
so maybe you know something.
Figure I'll ask around
a bit about it.
See if I can find out
who it was.
Hmm.
Shit!
Hello?
God dammit!
Gene.
Hi.
You're back.
- Yeah, sorry.
I-- I thought you were asleep.
Didn't wanna wake you.
Is something wrong?
I saw lights.
I saw a flashing light
out in the distance.
Looks like someone was signalin'
or somethin'.
I-- I can't make sense of it.
But I think it's German.
It's about meeting someone.
Does Jock speak German?
No.
Well, you know
who probably does.
Right, um...
Okay, uh...
What?
What I'm about to tell you
is highly classified
and cannot be repeated.
I spoke with headquarters.
A few days ago,
documentation regarding
the Allied invasion of Europe
was compromised.
The OSS intercepted
a coded message
from a spy trying to
get the information
out of the country.
They traced it back to within
a few miles of us.
I know.
What do you mean you know?
Um, I just mean that
this is whAT I've been trying
to tell you, Penny,
about not trusting Viktor.
Right.
I just can't believe it.
Well, at least this tells us
he's meeting them and soon.
SO...
Let's go find him then.
No, no. Wait, wait.
I-- I-- I really think...
I think it's best
that we bide our time.
Why?
Well, my orders were to see
who else is involved.
We could potentially uncover
a much bigger ring here.
What about Bob and Maude?
Do we try and warn them?
That could put them in danger.
I think for now
this needs to remain between us.
The phones are down anyway.
-What?
-The lines are cut.
- Where's your gun?
- He took it.
I don't know when,
but it's gone.
What about Bob's shotgun?
He has that, too.
Well, I guess we'll need to keep
our wits about us
until we can figure this out.
So we act normal?
Like nothing is wrong.
Where's Bob and Maude?
Are they back yet?
Fog must have kept them
in the city.
They should be back
any time now.
No need to worry just yet.
Have you seen him?
He's outside, chopping wood.
How long ago was that?
10 minutes ago maybe.
It's awfully quiet out there.
Maybe you should
go check on him.
There you are.
Was someone looking for me?
Penny said
you were chopping wood.
Yeah.
Trying to find the axe.
You mean this one?
Yeah.
Hiding in the shadows.
You're pretty good with that.
Did you come here
just to keep an eye on me,
or you going to help?
About yesterday.
I'm sorry about all that.
I don't know what got into me.
Must be all this fresh air.
Perhaps it's battle fatigue.
Or just maybe, you know,
general
anti-immigrant resentment.
May I ask you
a personal question?
What are your views on fascism?
Excuse me?
Are you fond of it?
No.
Not very fond.
Nothing to relate to?
Hard to find common ground
with people who tried
to kill you.
Killed your friends.
Maybe even your family.
Don't you think?
I feel my view
should be very clear.
Not very fond.
Oh, there you two are.
I was wondering how long
you two would be out there.
I'm making partridge for us.
Maude says it's your favorite,
Viktor?
Oh, how kind of you.
Yes.
Please excuse me for a moment.
How did it go?
Is everything okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.
Uh, just felt like he was on--
You wait here.
I'll-- I'll get that.
Morning, ma'am.
I'm Sergeant Milne.
Is Bob here?
Uh, no, not at the moment.
C-- can I help you?
I'm afraid I'm not here
with very good news.
It's Jock and Jocelyn.
They were found dead earlier
this morning by the cliffs.
But something
doesn't add up here.
It just doesn't make any sense.
And I did see some lights
flashing around up here
last night, too.
You ask me,
something's not ringing true.
My God. Um...
Hey, there's a policeman
at the door.
He's asking for Uncle Bob.
They found
Jock and Jocelyn's bodies.
Oh, my God.
Look, it's fine. It's fine.
Everything will be fine.
Okay.
Shouldn't take long.
Are you gonna tell them
about Viktor?
Yes, this changes things.
We need to tell them
what we know.
I feel awful.
Maybe we could have saved them
from that monster.
Penny, no, no, no.
This isn't your fault.
You couldn't know he would
do something like this.
PENNY;
I better go.
The officer is waiting.
Penny go?
Yeah, she went to
help a friend of Bob's.
Still no sign of Bob and Maude?
No.
So it's just us now.
Gene.
Penny.
I thought you were...
Oh, my God.
That's Officer Milne.
Viktor.
I'm so sorry, Gene.
I should have trusted you.
He had those hidden
in the barn.
What do we do now?
You were right.
We need the State Guard.
You keep these safe.
I'm heading into town.
Gene!
Help!
Gene!
Help!
Help!
Gene!
Who are you?
Really?
At least tell me
why you're doin' this.
Doing what?
Destroying people's lives.
Why would you do this
to this family?
To Penny?
What's the point?
You seem to already know
what I am.
A spy.
For the British SOE.
You really expect me
to believe that?
No.
Even if you did, it's too late.
Why?
What aren't you telling me?
Stay quiet.
Penny.
I'm so sorry
that we didn't get back.
We-- we had to stay the night
in town after the auction
because there was so much fog.
That's okay. Um...
I'm sorry, I d--
I don't know how to tell you.
You see, Gene. Sit down.
L-- look,
something's happened and...
Gene, I said sit down.
We spoke with Penny.
It's time we have a little talk.
Um, Gene.
Bob and I need to talk to you
about Penny.
And your feelings for her.
Do you truly love her
with your whole heart and soul?
Without condition?
That's what we need to know.
Yes, ma'am, of course.
And you would do anything
for her?
And her family?
Uh, I'm sorry.
What are you sayin'?
Uh, Maude.
Gene, are you familiar
with the term pietas?
It means a commitment,
a duty to one's family
and ancestors.
And in some cultures,
especially ours,
it is seen as a very important
responsibility.
And if you're to
join our family,
it needs to mean something
to you as well.
Gene, what do you know
of the German-American Bund?
Just that they were shuttered
before the war.
Well, officially.
But there are some who fight on
for the cause.
You mean fascism?
Oh.
We admit it does have
a nasty ring to it these days.
Yeah, because it should.
No, but, Gene, it's about
so much more than that.
It's a system that promises to
restore what we've lost,
to build something greater.
It's about preserving
an elevated way of life.
You're wasting your time.
I told you he doesn't have
the spine for it.
Gene, do you know that I fought
against Fritz Kuhn in France?
I fought against him.
And he's a good man.
He's a great man.
He's a man
with the future in his eyes.
Are you interested
in the future?
The United States went west.
The Axis is going east.
The Axis is gonna win the war.
Do you understand that?
It's the way things are
in nature.
You're a part of this.
And you can be, too.
You can be a part of history.
The Bund is open to all,
provided you are sincere
and of good character.
I know you are
all of these things, Gene.
Please don't tell me
that I have overestimated
your commitment to Penny
and everything she believes in.
Penny?
Our beautiful Penny.
From the time she was small,
when her mother proved unworthy,
we undertook her education
on things moral,
spiritual, physical,
intellectual.
Some people
just don't have what it takes.
Gene, I see your pain.
I see your struggle with shame
and indecision.
And you fought in that war,
you sacrificed so much in--
Maude, stop beating it to death.
No, this is your time
to find your courage.
There's a place for you here.
Rise up and become the hero
of your own journey.
Oh, stop beating it to death!
You made your choice!
You're not man enough.
Yeah, run away, you coward.
What did I tell you?
What did I tell you?
Quinn, thank God you're here.
Penny, you're back.
Look, I don't know
what's goin' on here,
but it's-- it's--
it's Bob and Maude,
and they're-- and they're...
That's him.
Collins, Quinn,
that's Gene Weber.
- That's the spy.
- Oh, no.
Captain, she was right.
I found Officer Milne's body.
Hold it, Gene!
You better stay right there.
Listen, son, keep calm.
Don't do anything stupid.
It's time you go quietly.
I'm being set up.
Quinn, you know me.
You know the OSS sent me here
to investigate.
I don't know what she told you,
but listen to me.
You know who I am.
We know your cover story.
The FBI's been in contact
with the OSS.
They don't know who you are
or who McVean is.
Is he your Nazi contact?
- Penny, no.
- Penny, no
Gene, has anything you've said
been true?
Get off me! Get off me!
- Penny!
- Collins!
Penny! Penny! Penny!
Get into the truck, boys.
Come on. Let's go.
I need to get this down to HQ.
Actually, OSS wants these back.
I've been ordered to deliver
them to Washington immediately.
You lock him up.
Continue the investigation.
Certainly.
Thank you, Quinn.
I'm eager to get these into
safe hands.
Good luck.
That didn't go as planned.
Darling, are you all right?
I thought for sure
he was the one.
He made his choice.
I'm so sorry that his heart
wasn't pure enough.
I loved him.
It's all right. It's all right.
The cause comes first.
Of course.
It wasn't meant to be.
I've been in contact
with our German friends.
They'll be here soon to make
the transaction.
I'll deal with him.
Pack your things
and head to the lodge.
You'll be safe there.
Viktor can sail me
to the rendezvous point.
If we hurry, we can still make
the handoff.
Never mind him.
I couldn't be more proud of you.
How you feeling, son?
You all right?
Sorry about all that.
Did what we had to to make sure
you got out of there
in one piece.
Luckily, Viktor had his people
radio us just in time.
Turns out
he was workin' undercover.
Yeah, I didn't believe it myself
at first.
But OSS confirmed this morning.
He saved your life.
So where are you taking me?
Back to headquarters.
McVean wants to bring you in
for a debriefing.
What about the files?
The whole mission?
Viktor took care of that.
He found the real documents
hidden somewhere in the barn.
Swapped them out for fake ones.
Bob was using his paintings
as a way to communicate with
his Nazi cohorts.
Evasion points, the whole deal.
You're just gonna let
Bob and Maude get away with it?
Of course not.
My men are working with OSS
as we speak.
Should be takin' 'em down
shortly
before they reach their lodge
for rendezvous.
We've got reports of a sailboat
off the coast.
Viktor's tied up right now.
He's a sitting duck until then.
We have to go back.
Gene, you did good.
But for now, your job here
is done.
Just sit tight.
And don't worry.
Your fiance's gonna answer
for what she did.
We'll make sure of it.
Wouldn't happen to have
a cigarette.
A light?
Gene!
Stop the truck!
Stay back!
Take it easy now, son.
We can't let it end like this.
I told you
it's being taken care of.
We can't let it end this way!
Let me go back.
Please, let me go back.
Move.
Think you're real sneaky, huh?
You really think I didn't know
that you've been up there
on the radio
in the dead of night?
I was only trying
to reach my family.
You're going to sail me
to my rendezvous point,
or I promise you the Gestapo
will reach your family
before you ever do.
Keep movin'. Almost there.
Penny, let him go.
If he dies, so does your alibi.
He's the only one
who can vouch for you.
Penny, listen to me.
Drop the gun!
This isn't you. Listen to me.
You have no idea who I am.
Drop the gun!
Okay.
Okay.
How can you do this?
I just don't understand.
Because I believe in it!
I want what's best
for the people of this country!
What has the government
given us?
So many young lives lost at war?
Who really is the enemy?
Bob and Maude.
What?
They killed your mother, Penny.
I'm sorry.
You have no idea
what you're talking about.
Penny, wait. Just hang on, okay?
Listen, Penny, listen to me.
Put the gun down. Let him go.
It's not too late. Please.
Penny, I can help you.
I really do love you.
I loved you.
Hey, you okay?
Hey.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna need help.
Hang in there. Here.
Go.
Penny?
I can't believe we have to run
from our homes like refugees.
-Calm down.
-Bob.
We'll be safe at the lodge
before you know it.
- Bob, hurry!
- Sir!
- Freeze!
- Oh.
Penny.
I sometimes have nightmares
that the Germans captured you
and put you in a camp.
Sometimes worse.
Sometimes in the dreams,
I'm screaming for you
to do whatever it is
you need to do.
To join them.
To do what you have to do
to stay alive.
We had our suspicions
about the Duncolms,
but given Penny's place
in the OSS,
it was a dangerous claim.
And unfortunately,
you were our only way to
find out the truth.
It takes a certain type of
person to do that.
To live a lie,
day in, day out.
I can only imagine
the sense of betrayal
you must feel.
Obviously, we're
sweeping this entire ordeal
under the rug.
You'll have to comply with
the official story, of course.
You served your country well.
You should be proud.
From what we can surmise,
Bob was mapping
the surrounding area
for potential invasion sites.
Guess he figured paintings
would be less suspicious
than photographs.
I suppose he was right.
If there's ever anything
we can do...
There is.
A very brave gentleman I know,
his family is trapped overseas.
He saved my life.
We'll do what we can.
I sometimes have nightmares
that the Germans captured you
and put you in a camp.
Sometimes worse.
Sometimes in the dreams,
I'm screaming for you
to do whatever it is
you need to do.
To join them.
Do whatever you have to do
to stay alive.
They're coming!
Comin' in--
Joey, no!
(OVER RADIO
Parachutes!
Mayday! Mayday!
Bail! Bail!
Gene.
Gene.
Gene, over here.
You okay?
Looks like you're doing
a lot better than me, brother.
Let me look.
Okay.
Can you move?
I think it missed my vitals,
but I'm gonna need a medic soon.
- Okay, okay.
- You're gonna be okay.
I think the coast
is a few hundred yards that way.
We're gonna try
and find some friendlies,
and get out of here.
Where's Joey?
He's over there.
Stay here, I'll be right back.
I ain't goin' anywhere.
Joey. Joey. I'm here, buddy.
I'm here. You okay?
Hey.
Hey, Joey.
I'm sorry, buddy.
Sorry, buddy. I'm sorry.
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!
Get back, get back.
Please, please, please,
please, please.
Please, I have a wife.
I have a wife. I have a wife.
I have a wife.
I have a wife.
I've got children.
Go on inside,
he's expecting you.
It's open.
Sir, you wanted to see me?
Oh, McVean.
Come on in, close the door.
How's the training goin'
on the field?
Yeah, I think we have some of
our most promising recruits yet.
Good.
We're gonna need 'em.
What do you mean?
Ah, top secret plans
for an operational invasion
have been compromised.
Plans for landing sites,
ship positions,
launch times, all stolen.
We're halting all OSS operations
in Europe until further notice.
And British SOE and OSS
are in agreement.
If the Germans get their hands
on those plans,
we could lose our footing
in France.
And quite possibly the war.
Jesus Christ.
Come in.
Ah, one of the top recruits
we were just talking about.
Sir.
Agent Duncolm.
Your name's been
coming up a lot lately.
I understand your fianc
was shot down over France.
Yes, sir, the resistance
found him,
helped him out of the country
a few weeks ago.
I haven't seen him
since he's been convalescing
in Pennsylvania.
You must miss each other
very much.
Yes, sir.
Hospital discharge papers.
You work harder
than anyone here.
Your fianc needs you.
And quite frankly,
you could use a break.
I don't know what to say.
Thank you, sir.
And my deployment overseas?
Well, that day
may very well come.
But in the meantime, consider
this a temporary blessing
in a time where
there really aren't any.
Thank you, sir.
Should we really be giving
Agent Duncolm leave right now?
McVean, what do you know
about Penny's fianc?
Good morning, sir.
How's the pain?
Okay, but on a scale of 1 to 10?
- Four.
- Okay.
- I feel strong.
- Lieutenant Lewis?
I'm Captain McVean.
This is my associate.
Agent Alexander, OSS.
Do you mind if we speak
in private for a moment?
Yeah, sure.
How you holdin' up?
I'll be a lot better
when I get out of here.
I'd say you're a lucky man.
How so?
You're lucky to be alive.
It could be a lot worse.
Your fiance Penny Duncolm...
She okay?
Perfectly fine.
You're aware her uncle
owns a property up north?
Yeah, she grew up there.
A few days ago, there was
a highly sensitive operation
that was compromised.
Since then,
intelligence has intercepted
some unusual transmissions,
coincidentally coming
from an area near the farm.
We need somebody up there
to check things out.
Check out what, exactly?
Take a look around,
report back on anything unusual.
Does Penny know?
She's being provided leave
to go visit her aunt and uncle.
That's as far as it goes.
Having her run the operation
would only bring
unnecessary concern.
She's an incredible agent.
They'd raise too many questions.
You understand that, right?
Listen, son.
I know what it's like
to lose loved ones in a war.
The anger.
The shame.
This is how you fight back.
This is how you can do your part
and still be of service
to this country.
You're askin' me to lie
to my fiance and her family.
Not to lie.
To protect.
You're not spying on them.
There could be
a dangerous enemy lurking.
And they don't even know it.
Do I even have a choice?
Thank you, Lieutenant.
Attention
- Excuse me, sir.
- Is this seat taken?
Yes, it is, actually.
Penny.
Gene.
I, uh...
I can't believe it.
I thought we might never...
Me too.
So what is this I hear about you
becomin' a full-fledged
OSS field agent?
Is that true?
Well, we all have our part
to play in this war.
I guess that's mine.
Mm.
Always so modest.
But always an overachiever.
I'm proud of you.
Thank you.
I cannot wait to introduce you
to Uncle Bob and Aunt Maude.
Hmm.
As my fianc.
The war hero.
Attention passengers,
the 245 Express to Boston
-That'd be us.
-Oh.
...is now arriving
on platform three.
- And so I said, " You know,
- I know that you know that
And in the summers,
I'd take long walks by the water
at sunset.
Such a beautiful view.
It'll take your breath away.
Hmm.
I-- I-- I can't wait to see it.
What is it?
Well, it's just I know
how much you love this place.
I wish we were goin'
under different circumstances.
If you think about it,
we're getting the chance
to leave the world behind.
All the fear,
and the uncertainty.
I'm very grateful for that.
You're right.
I am, too.
In the morning,
the fog is so thick that
you can barely see.
But then the fog lifts,
and it's so beautiful.
You're gonna love it there.
I'll grab your bags.
Thanks.
There she is!
Uncle Bob!
There she is.
Let me take a look at you.
-I've missed you.
-You look fine.
You must be so thrilled to
be back home.
-Are you?
-Yes, very.
This must be Gene.
Uh, yes, Uncle Bob.
This is Gene Lewis.
It's a pleasure
to meet you, sir.
-Thank you for havin' us.
-You are most welcome.
You have
a very beautiful property.
Thank you.
Oh, and just through there,
about a hundred yards,
is the ocean.
- Amazing.
- Yeah.
Just chills you to the bone.
Just thinkin' that right
across that ocean
are thousands of Germans just...
just itchin'
to get their hands on us.
Come.
Storm could break it any
minute.
Jock and Jocelyn
have their own quarters
on the property.
- They help us out.
- I see.
Well, they've got their hands
full in Europe.
No sense in them bringing
the war to us.
Um, I'm gonna say hi to
Aunt Maude.
Why don't you give Gene
the tour?
That sounds like a good idea.
Absolutely.
This way.
I'll show you around.
Uh, Penny, did Maude tell you
we have a new hire?
Uh, yes. Viktor, isn't it?
Yeah, a refugee from Europe.
Another one
of her passion projects?
- You know how she is.
- Right.
He's been great with
helping Maude around the house.
- Say hello.
- I will.
This way, Gene.
So we got about 100 acres.
Uh, as you can see, we have--
we have sheep.
Some livestock.
One last stop.
I just have to pick up something
from the barn.
-Watch your step.
-Uh, thanks.
- Watch your step there.
- Yeah.
Oh, wow.
Who's the, uh, painter?
Well, I dabble here and there.
I used to deal in rare imports,
but since the war,
well, just do what I can
to keep everybody fed
till this thing's over.
How about you?
How's your family coping?
Oh, well, actually,
it's, uh, just me.
Both my parents passed when
I was in high school.
Oh.
Damn it! Forgive me.
-Penny told me.
-It's okay.
I am so sorry.
I know better.
Uh, it was a car accident.
-Is that right?
-That's right.
- You were from Ohio?
- Mm-hmm.
Well, we won't starve tonight.
Darling?
Darling?
I brought you a rabbit
and a lieutenant.
Ah!
Oh!
Well, look at you.
Penny was right.
You're a very handsome man.
- Gene Lewis.
- Maude.
Very happy to have you.
Nice to meet you. Thank you.
Where have you been?
Oh, um, in the barn.
Where's Penny?
She's in her room
unpacking her bags.
You are
one of the privileged few.
He never lets me see
his paintings
until they're finished.
You must have impressed him.
I've just made some coffee.
Would you like a nice cup?
Uh, no, ma'am.
I'm fine, thank you.
Oh, all right.
Well, one for my sweetie.
Thank you, my dear.
Let me show you upstairs
to your room.
I sure hope that Penny warned
you about the weather up here.
Once this thick fog sets in,
there's really nothing for it
except to stoke the fire
and put on the kettle.
Sounds charming.
I can't tell you
the number of times
we've been stranded
coming back from the city.
Every inn along the way knows us
well by now.
You have a very eclectic taste
for a farmhouse.
Oh, well, when we moved here,
I felt determined to bring
some of our city life with us.
Of course, I couldn't give up
my books.
Penny said you're partial
to Carl Jung.
- Is that right?
- Yes.
Actually, I'm part
of an informal little group
of Dr. Jung's acolytes.
Marie-Louise von Franz,
Joseph Campbell.
All our work has commonalities.
I'm actually writing
my dissertation
on the hero archetype in
Norse myths
as relates to the universal
unconscious.
Well, that sounds fascinating,
but completely over my head.
No, you would love it
because you would relate
as a warrior.
There's so much strength in
those tales.
So, this here is Viktor's room,
and yours would be right there.
- Thank you again.
- You're welcome.
If you need anything,
just let me know.
See you at mealtime.
See you then.
Would you like some help
unpacking?
Oh. No, that's okay.
I just want to put
a couple things away.
I was actually thinkin' about
going for a walk in a little bit
-to stretch my leg.
-Yeah, um--
If you want to join me.
Do you mind
if I took a rain check?
I just haven't seen Uncle Bob
and Aunt Maude in a while.
I hate to keep them waiting.
Yeah, of course.
We'll just bore you anyhow.
You should go.
Yeah, yeah.
Okay, well.
And that'll give me plenty
of time to talk about you.
What are you gonna say?
-Probably the worst.
-The worst.
There's nothing bad about me.
Who's this?
Is that you and your mom?
That shouldn't be in here.
I'm gonna go finish unpacking.
Okay.
Well, what do you think,
darling?
Well, from what Penny has said,
he seems disillusioned.
Slightly broken.
Yes, I think that his experience
has done something to him.
Might have opened him up.
Maybe.
Not every evil comes to
destroy us.
No, no, no.
But this is Penny
we're talking about.
I think she's young.
And I'm hoping that she's not
only thinking with her heart,
but with her head.
Maybe.
I mean, this is...
This is a big decision.
There she is.
Hello.
Hello.
Well, what do you think?
I-- I-- I think
that he's very well turned out.
I can see what you see in him.
Yes, yes.
He's very, uh,
very well-mannered.
Um, very pleasant.
I haven't seen
behind the mask yet,
but I assume you have.
Yes, I have.
It means a lot
that you like him.
Like him?
I didn't say I like him.
Don't put words in my mouth,
Penny.
All right, Bob. Come on now.
I mean, we've got to be honest.
Bob.
You know what an important
decision this is.
Yes?
Yes.
Good.
Gene Lewis.
Viktor.
You must be the pilot
Bob and Maude
have been talking about.
So where you from, Vik?
Belgium.
And it's Viktor, please.
Sorry.
Do be careful walking at night.
Through the forest there.
There are cliffs about
that you can walk up upon
and never realize
they are there.
Thanks for the heads up.
Don't stay out here too long.
Like I said,
it can be treacherous.
"The people saw the divine
in the natural world
around them,
in the rhythms of the seasons,
and in the patterns of
the stars.
They sought to maintain a sense
of balance and harmony
with this sacred world,
through rituals and practices
that reflected
their understanding
of the cosmic order."
A delicious worldview.
So, Viktor, I hear
you're a fantastic sailor.
No, no, no.
I do okay.
But I do love the seas.
Sailing these waters is hard.
Not for a pro like you.
A novice like me, though,
well, without a lighthouse
nearby,
I wouldn't wanna try it myself.
Not around here.
There you are.
I, uh,
nearly didn't make it back.
All goes rolling so quickly.
Give the man some whiskey.
Thank you.
So what about you, Gene?
Are you as talented on the sea
as you are in air?
Oh, uh, no. Not at all.
Quite the opposite really.
Oh, there's no need to be modest
in this house.
I'm sure
with your skills as a pilot,
you'd take to sailing like that.
Well, thank you.
So are these all yours, Bob?
Oh, no, these are old--
old paintings.
That's, uh,
that's our old family estate.
We can trace our ancestry
back to
when the first Vikings
raided Scottish shores.
On both sides.
It's true.
I wasn't having you on
when I said we come from
a long line of Scottish Lairds.
My grandpa was a socialist.
He used most of
the family's money
and immigrated to the States
in the late 1800s.
He was a man of principle.
- Right.
- Right.
Let sleeping dogs lie.
What about you, Viktor?
How'd you come to find yourself
all the way out here?
You know,
that's a very long story.
How about the short version?
Back home, I couldn't afford
to support my family.
Belgium is small and jobs
are scarce.
So I traveled.
Made it just outside of Belgium
when the country fell
to the Nazis.
Hmm.
Are you able to
send them money now?
I haven't heard from them since.
Where's your wedding ring?
Oh, it's gotten quite chilly,
darling.
Shall we get some more--
I'll get some more logs
for the fire.
And, uh, some potatoes.
Penny, can you give us a hand?
Okay, sure.
Hello.
Hi.
Just wanted to pop in
and say goodnight.
Come in.
What were you working on?
Oh, nothin'.
Just doodlin'.
Oh.
An artist, huh?
Did Bob inspire you?
Yes.
Yes, I wanna learn
to paint ships
and old family estates.
I hope they weren't too much.
I just mean I know they have
very distinctive personalities.
Oh.
Yeah, sure, but they're very
nice people.
Very smart, too.
Especially Maude.
Yes.
But I don't know what she's
talkin' about half the time.
Neither do I.
I'm very lucky to have them.
Yeah.
Hmm.
They're the only real family
I have left.
So...
...I wanted to see them again.
You know, just in case.
In case what?
Well, if the--
if the war isn't over soon,
I'll have to go back overseas
eventually.
So...
Penny,
nothing is going to happen
to you.
Yeah, you're probably right.
I just can't bear to think of
not being with you.
We shouldn't, I think.
Well, I-- I--
I don't wanna disrespect
Bob and Maude.
Oh.
In their house.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah, you're right.
We should probably
go outside then.
No, I think
you'll just have to wait.
Forever and a day,
forever and ever.
Good night, my love.
Sweet dreams.
If they get married on the farm,
do you think they'd let us come?
I don't know. Maybe.
Can I get a new dress
if they do?
We'll see, sweetie.
Hey, uh,
I wanna check on somethin'.
Come with me.
You're not from around here.
Uh, no, sir.
I'm staying with Bob and Maude.
Gene. Gene Lewis.
I'm engaged to their niece
Penny.
Oh, congratulations!
Lovely family to marry into.
A testament really
with all they've been through.
Uh, I'm sorry.
Actually, I don't think
I understand.
Penny didn't tell you?
Well, that's not my business
anyway.
This is Sergeant Collins.
I'm Captain Quinn.
Out here alone?
No, I actually came out
to see...
He was here a minute ago.
- Is it that Viktor guy?
- The lodger?
I keep tryin' to talk to him,
and he's never around.
Tough to pin down.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
What happened to your leg?
I was wounded in France.
Hmm.
Plane crash?
- You already know?
- I do.
We have a mutual connection.
McVean.
He asked for a report.
I've actually written
a few things down.
About that lodger, Viktor.
Um, nothing concrete yet,
but you know, it's--
We only had a few interactions,
but it's all on there.
This is the telephone to camp.
If you need anything, anything,
give me a call.
Will do, thank you.
Keep your wits about you.
Absolutely.
Who was that?
Where'd you go?
Oh, taking care
of all the sheep.
The, uh, State Guard Captain
was here.
Oh, routine patrols.
So what brings you out here?
Well, I was hopin'
you could take me into town.
So I can grab a few things
I'm runnin' low on
and get out of the house.
Yeah. Yeah, sure.
We're all done here.
I can pack this up later.
- Hop on in.
- Thank you.
State Guard.
He mentioned somethin' about all
the bad that's happened
to Penny's family.
What about it?
Do you know
what he was talkin' about?
-Probably her mother's death.
-Jocelyn.
What?
You didn't know?
She doesn't talk
about her parents.
Maude practically raised her
as her own since she was
a young girl.
-How'd she die?
-We-- we don't really know.
People just say that she
went out for a walk one night,
and then the next day
they found her body
at the base of the cliffs,
by the water on the rocks.
People say that
she never did quite recover
from Penny's father dyin' in
the Great War.
It's a real tragedy.
That's when Bob and Maude
took her in
and raised her as their own.
So don't tell no one
we told you neither.
Bob's warned me a lot of times
about ever
bringin' that up in front
of Penny.
Hang-- hang on.
Something's wrong.
Something's wrong with
the engine.
Why don't you guys just
sit tight,
I'll take care of this.
How's his leg holdin' up?
You know, the wound,
is it healing?
Uh, I mean, it's okay.
Not healed, but it's fine.
Yeah, these things take time.
True.
I'm trying, Penny.
I'm-- I'm really trying.
But I'm just not seeing what
you're seeing in this man.
You're not meeting him
at his best.
I think France changed him.
He's just...
I think
it's all hitting him now.
I just want you to be with a man
of substance, and confidence,
and vision.
You have to trust this man
with your life.
And I do.
He's trustworthy.
He really is.
Just-- just give him time.
You'll see what I see.
He's committed.
Well, he fell in love with you.
-Rght.
-That's a commitment.
- Oh.
- Oh, Gene, there you are.
Everything okay?
Sorry,
I was just about to come in.
Oh, no, no. Finish.
I don't mind.
- Hi.
- Hi.
So where have you been?
Oh, I, uh...
I asked Jock
to take me into town, but...
Let me guess.
You didn't make it.
Right.
Jock's had a few run-ins
with the law.
Drunk and disorderly.
Nowadays, he'll do anything
to avoid going into town
and the temptations.
So...
That doesn't surprise me
for some reason.
Yes, I know what you mean.
The look.
Hey, Stern.
Jock said he saw you speaking
with the State Guard.
Oh, he just stopped by
for a minute.
Um, he was asking about Viktor,
actually.
He seemed concerned there was
someone living here
whom he hasn't met.
Hmm.
Well, I'm sure
it's just a misunderstanding.
-Come on.
-All right. Yeah.
It's been real nice
havin' Penny back.
Bob and Maude just light up
whenever she's around.
Yeah, she's talked
about this place a lot.
I think this is the longest
she's ever been away.
How did you and Penny meet?
It was in England,
after she escaped Paris.
Love at first sight?
No, not exactly.
I asked her out so many times,
I thought the war would end
before she ever said yes.
Luckily, my resolve
is stronger than hers.
What was she doing in Paris?
What about you, Viktor?
It must be difficult bein'
so far away from home.
Where was that again?
- Belgium.
- Belgium.
Not Antwerp by any chance?
I am.
My father was stationed there
for a brief time
after the last war.
He told me all
about this nightclub.
The Black Cat.
You must know of it.
No?
Uh, he said anyone
who ever stepped foot in Antwerp
would know about
the Black Cat Club.
Of course.
Wonderful place. The Black Cat.
Yeah.
No, wait.
It was Ghent.
My father was stationed
in Ghent.
Gene, you okay?
What happened?
Must have slipped.
Are you okay?
- Hey, hon.
- Back from the barn already?
You must have had fun
getting out of the house.
How was it?
Well, you know,
besides almost being impaled
by a bucket of falling tools,
you were right.
-It was fun.
-Oh, no. Are you all right?
- Yeah, no, I'm fine.
- It just missed me.
Banged my knee tryin' to dodge
out of the way, though.
I was right in front of Viktor.
Surprise.
I'm sure
it was just an accident.
Yeah, maybe.
You're not suggesting
he did it on purpose, are you?
No.
Not exactly.
There's just somethin'
about this guy I don't trust.
Hello.
I'm so sorry.
It took forever at the library.
They did not want
to let me take home
their precious foreign editions,
but eventually I got my way.
Anyhow, we'll be making our way
to the city
and should be back home
in two days,
as long as the fog holds.
But you never do know.
It wouldn't be the first time
we got trapped.
Is there any way
I can help them out there?
Oh, I think
they've got it under control.
Why don't you two lovebirds
spend a little time together?
Yeah, how about we go
for that walk?
Build up your leg strength?
Sounds good.
Wow, it really is beautiful
here.
Mm-hmm.
Sometimes I think
it'd be the perfect escape.
Just hide here
until the war is over.
If only.
I mean,
what are we even fighting for?
It's not our war.
At least, not in Europe.
What are you talkin' about?
You don't mean that, do you?
No, I...
I don't mean it like that.
How do you mean?
I just-- I just mean that
I've seen
what we are capable of.
I'm not sure our side
is all that good either.
Of course not, Penny.
But what we're fightin' against
is somethin' else.
- Yes.
- It's pure evil.
I know, I know. Of course.
You're right.
It just gets to me sometimes.
All of the death.
All of the secrets.
And I-- I just wish
we'd met before all this.
I'm just happy we met at all.
Me, too.
You know what's so great
about this place?
Hmm?
There's no one around to be
disrespected.
Okay.
Oh, no.
Something.
Lipstick?
Yeah.
Hungry?
Where'd all this food come from?
What do you mean?
It's a week's worth of rations,
at least.
And?
-And it's illegal.
-No, it's fine.
It's not fine, Viktor.
Families need this food.
Where did you get it?
What's all this?
Viktor?
It was supposed to be
a peace offering, actually.
Where did you get it?
A farmer who I work for
sometimes pays me
from his stock.
Sausages, eggs, bacon,
that sort of thing.
I was going to share them
with you.
Well, thank you, Viktor.
That sounds nice.
Hey, what was that about?
You don't really buy that,
do you?
What?
- None of that
seems strange to you?
Keep your voice down.
- He's hoarding food, Penny.
- Okay.
Farmers aren't supposed to
just give that away.
He's sharing with us.
He's being kind.
Bob trusts Viktor,
and that should be
enough for us, right?
Right.
But I'm not eatin' that food.
Fine.
Mmm, the food is delicious,
Viktor.
Thank you.
Yeah, thanks, Vik.
Penny!
Penny, no! No!
Sorry if I woke you.
You might have
the others fooled,
not me.
You hear me?
Do we have another problem here?
Something I'm not aware of?
You really think I don't know,
Viktor?
Know what?
What are you doing?
Who were you tryin' to contact
on that radio last night?
Listen.
I can explain.
Yeah, I think you'd better.
No more lies.
I was trying to reach my wife.
The resistance in France
promised they would find her.
I said no more lies!
I'm not lying.
Bullshit!
That radio
wouldn't reach France.
There are relay stations
set up all along the coast.
It's over, Viktor.
I'm turning you in
to the State Guard.
And they're gonna take care
of the rest.
You Nazi piece of shit.
You should be careful
pulling guns
on people you don't know.
Or you'll find yourself
in over your head
quicker than you expect.
Gene?
Not everything is as it seems.
Gene?
What the hell's going on
in here?
He took a wrong step.
Lost his footing.
I was just helping him up.
Isn't that right?
Gene!
What was that all about?
I gave that man
the benefit of the doubt, Penny.
I swear I did, but...
- What?
- He's a Nazi spy!
- Who, Viktor?
- Yes!
I caught him usin' a radio
in his room last night.
- A radio?
- A radio.
Uh, it's--
it's a briefcase-sized radio.
It was right there in his room.
And now it's gone.
And you saw this how?
Were you spying on him?
What? No!
I woke up
in the middle of the night.
And?
And I went into his room.
I knew it.
What was I supposed to do,
Penny?
What was I supposed to do?
- Ignore it?
- I knew it.
How about he came into my room
with a gun?
Stood right there with a gun!
-You don't believe me.
-Goodness, Gene.
Do you believe me or not?
Gene, come on.
Do you believe me or not?
I mean, you-- you just--
you must know how his sounds.
I didn't make it up!
I know what I saw!
I'm sorry,
but I know what I saw.
Gene, stop.
I'm not makin' this up.
I promise you--
I-- it's fine.
I believe you. Okay?
I believe you.
I'll check with the OSS.
See if they have anything
on him.
For you. Okay?
Fine.
Thank you.
I guess
I should check on Viktor.
Why?
Keep your enemies closer, right?
And you made an ass of yourself.
I'm so sorry about all of that.
He's become fixated on you.
Paranoid even.
He doesn't seem well.
He's not.
I'm afraid he's goin' to
do something irrational.
I just don't understand it.
Why would he say these things
about you?
It's hard for anyone to be
themselves in a time of war.
It is, isn't it?
Yes, that's right.
He's been snooping around
as well.
I think there's reason
to believe
that he has more information
than he's leading on.
Understood.
Penny, I'm so sorry.
It's okay.
Gene, that was OSS.
I brought up Viktor.
- Is everything okay?
- Yeah, yes.
I just, um...
There's a prisoner
at the field office.
He may have information
on Viktor.
- Oh.
- So...
Should I go in and talk to him?
No, no, it's okay. I got it.
I just need to
grab my gloves real quick.
Who are you meeting?
Who are you meeting?
Where are the files?
- Where, you piece of shit?
- Sergeant!
Can't you see he's had enough?
- But ma'am, I was told--
- Out!
- Ma'am, I was told to--
- Now!
Nazi scumbag. Traitor.
I have to apologize
on behalf of the sergeant.
He's...
Well, he went through a lot
over the last war.
And I think it's made him
a bit of a sadist.
But now that he's gone,
and we're alone,
you and I can have a chat.
Exactly what are you doing?
Nothin'.
Doesn't seem nothing.
Yeah, well, what is it you said?
Everything's not as it seems.
Sorry to keep you waiting
all day.
That's all right.
I kept busy.
Still.
Gave me a chance to spend
some time down around the water.
Glad something good came of it.
A funny thing, too.
I actually saw a sailboat
headin' inland,
right up along the coastline.
Right by the cliff face.
Aren't there a lot of sailors
around here?
Sure.
Really not be sailin'
this time of year.
Especially not in that area.
I'm not sayin' nothin'
about a guest,
but Viktor's truck was
gone today,
so maybe you know something.
Figure I'll ask around
a bit about it.
See if I can find out
who it was.
Hmm.
Shit!
Hello?
God dammit!
Gene.
Hi.
You're back.
- Yeah, sorry.
I-- I thought you were asleep.
Didn't wanna wake you.
Is something wrong?
I saw lights.
I saw a flashing light
out in the distance.
Looks like someone was signalin'
or somethin'.
I-- I can't make sense of it.
But I think it's German.
It's about meeting someone.
Does Jock speak German?
No.
Well, you know
who probably does.
Right, um...
Okay, uh...
What?
What I'm about to tell you
is highly classified
and cannot be repeated.
I spoke with headquarters.
A few days ago,
documentation regarding
the Allied invasion of Europe
was compromised.
The OSS intercepted
a coded message
from a spy trying to
get the information
out of the country.
They traced it back to within
a few miles of us.
I know.
What do you mean you know?
Um, I just mean that
this is whAT I've been trying
to tell you, Penny,
about not trusting Viktor.
Right.
I just can't believe it.
Well, at least this tells us
he's meeting them and soon.
SO...
Let's go find him then.
No, no. Wait, wait.
I-- I-- I really think...
I think it's best
that we bide our time.
Why?
Well, my orders were to see
who else is involved.
We could potentially uncover
a much bigger ring here.
What about Bob and Maude?
Do we try and warn them?
That could put them in danger.
I think for now
this needs to remain between us.
The phones are down anyway.
-What?
-The lines are cut.
- Where's your gun?
- He took it.
I don't know when,
but it's gone.
What about Bob's shotgun?
He has that, too.
Well, I guess we'll need to keep
our wits about us
until we can figure this out.
So we act normal?
Like nothing is wrong.
Where's Bob and Maude?
Are they back yet?
Fog must have kept them
in the city.
They should be back
any time now.
No need to worry just yet.
Have you seen him?
He's outside, chopping wood.
How long ago was that?
10 minutes ago maybe.
It's awfully quiet out there.
Maybe you should
go check on him.
There you are.
Was someone looking for me?
Penny said
you were chopping wood.
Yeah.
Trying to find the axe.
You mean this one?
Yeah.
Hiding in the shadows.
You're pretty good with that.
Did you come here
just to keep an eye on me,
or you going to help?
About yesterday.
I'm sorry about all that.
I don't know what got into me.
Must be all this fresh air.
Perhaps it's battle fatigue.
Or just maybe, you know,
general
anti-immigrant resentment.
May I ask you
a personal question?
What are your views on fascism?
Excuse me?
Are you fond of it?
No.
Not very fond.
Nothing to relate to?
Hard to find common ground
with people who tried
to kill you.
Killed your friends.
Maybe even your family.
Don't you think?
I feel my view
should be very clear.
Not very fond.
Oh, there you two are.
I was wondering how long
you two would be out there.
I'm making partridge for us.
Maude says it's your favorite,
Viktor?
Oh, how kind of you.
Yes.
Please excuse me for a moment.
How did it go?
Is everything okay?
Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.
Uh, just felt like he was on--
You wait here.
I'll-- I'll get that.
Morning, ma'am.
I'm Sergeant Milne.
Is Bob here?
Uh, no, not at the moment.
C-- can I help you?
I'm afraid I'm not here
with very good news.
It's Jock and Jocelyn.
They were found dead earlier
this morning by the cliffs.
But something
doesn't add up here.
It just doesn't make any sense.
And I did see some lights
flashing around up here
last night, too.
You ask me,
something's not ringing true.
My God. Um...
Hey, there's a policeman
at the door.
He's asking for Uncle Bob.
They found
Jock and Jocelyn's bodies.
Oh, my God.
Look, it's fine. It's fine.
Everything will be fine.
Okay.
Shouldn't take long.
Are you gonna tell them
about Viktor?
Yes, this changes things.
We need to tell them
what we know.
I feel awful.
Maybe we could have saved them
from that monster.
Penny, no, no, no.
This isn't your fault.
You couldn't know he would
do something like this.
PENNY;
I better go.
The officer is waiting.
Penny go?
Yeah, she went to
help a friend of Bob's.
Still no sign of Bob and Maude?
No.
So it's just us now.
Gene.
Penny.
I thought you were...
Oh, my God.
That's Officer Milne.
Viktor.
I'm so sorry, Gene.
I should have trusted you.
He had those hidden
in the barn.
What do we do now?
You were right.
We need the State Guard.
You keep these safe.
I'm heading into town.
Gene!
Help!
Gene!
Help!
Help!
Gene!
Who are you?
Really?
At least tell me
why you're doin' this.
Doing what?
Destroying people's lives.
Why would you do this
to this family?
To Penny?
What's the point?
You seem to already know
what I am.
A spy.
For the British SOE.
You really expect me
to believe that?
No.
Even if you did, it's too late.
Why?
What aren't you telling me?
Stay quiet.
Penny.
I'm so sorry
that we didn't get back.
We-- we had to stay the night
in town after the auction
because there was so much fog.
That's okay. Um...
I'm sorry, I d--
I don't know how to tell you.
You see, Gene. Sit down.
L-- look,
something's happened and...
Gene, I said sit down.
We spoke with Penny.
It's time we have a little talk.
Um, Gene.
Bob and I need to talk to you
about Penny.
And your feelings for her.
Do you truly love her
with your whole heart and soul?
Without condition?
That's what we need to know.
Yes, ma'am, of course.
And you would do anything
for her?
And her family?
Uh, I'm sorry.
What are you sayin'?
Uh, Maude.
Gene, are you familiar
with the term pietas?
It means a commitment,
a duty to one's family
and ancestors.
And in some cultures,
especially ours,
it is seen as a very important
responsibility.
And if you're to
join our family,
it needs to mean something
to you as well.
Gene, what do you know
of the German-American Bund?
Just that they were shuttered
before the war.
Well, officially.
But there are some who fight on
for the cause.
You mean fascism?
Oh.
We admit it does have
a nasty ring to it these days.
Yeah, because it should.
No, but, Gene, it's about
so much more than that.
It's a system that promises to
restore what we've lost,
to build something greater.
It's about preserving
an elevated way of life.
You're wasting your time.
I told you he doesn't have
the spine for it.
Gene, do you know that I fought
against Fritz Kuhn in France?
I fought against him.
And he's a good man.
He's a great man.
He's a man
with the future in his eyes.
Are you interested
in the future?
The United States went west.
The Axis is going east.
The Axis is gonna win the war.
Do you understand that?
It's the way things are
in nature.
You're a part of this.
And you can be, too.
You can be a part of history.
The Bund is open to all,
provided you are sincere
and of good character.
I know you are
all of these things, Gene.
Please don't tell me
that I have overestimated
your commitment to Penny
and everything she believes in.
Penny?
Our beautiful Penny.
From the time she was small,
when her mother proved unworthy,
we undertook her education
on things moral,
spiritual, physical,
intellectual.
Some people
just don't have what it takes.
Gene, I see your pain.
I see your struggle with shame
and indecision.
And you fought in that war,
you sacrificed so much in--
Maude, stop beating it to death.
No, this is your time
to find your courage.
There's a place for you here.
Rise up and become the hero
of your own journey.
Oh, stop beating it to death!
You made your choice!
You're not man enough.
Yeah, run away, you coward.
What did I tell you?
What did I tell you?
Quinn, thank God you're here.
Penny, you're back.
Look, I don't know
what's goin' on here,
but it's-- it's--
it's Bob and Maude,
and they're-- and they're...
That's him.
Collins, Quinn,
that's Gene Weber.
- That's the spy.
- Oh, no.
Captain, she was right.
I found Officer Milne's body.
Hold it, Gene!
You better stay right there.
Listen, son, keep calm.
Don't do anything stupid.
It's time you go quietly.
I'm being set up.
Quinn, you know me.
You know the OSS sent me here
to investigate.
I don't know what she told you,
but listen to me.
You know who I am.
We know your cover story.
The FBI's been in contact
with the OSS.
They don't know who you are
or who McVean is.
Is he your Nazi contact?
- Penny, no.
- Penny, no
Gene, has anything you've said
been true?
Get off me! Get off me!
- Penny!
- Collins!
Penny! Penny! Penny!
Get into the truck, boys.
Come on. Let's go.
I need to get this down to HQ.
Actually, OSS wants these back.
I've been ordered to deliver
them to Washington immediately.
You lock him up.
Continue the investigation.
Certainly.
Thank you, Quinn.
I'm eager to get these into
safe hands.
Good luck.
That didn't go as planned.
Darling, are you all right?
I thought for sure
he was the one.
He made his choice.
I'm so sorry that his heart
wasn't pure enough.
I loved him.
It's all right. It's all right.
The cause comes first.
Of course.
It wasn't meant to be.
I've been in contact
with our German friends.
They'll be here soon to make
the transaction.
I'll deal with him.
Pack your things
and head to the lodge.
You'll be safe there.
Viktor can sail me
to the rendezvous point.
If we hurry, we can still make
the handoff.
Never mind him.
I couldn't be more proud of you.
How you feeling, son?
You all right?
Sorry about all that.
Did what we had to to make sure
you got out of there
in one piece.
Luckily, Viktor had his people
radio us just in time.
Turns out
he was workin' undercover.
Yeah, I didn't believe it myself
at first.
But OSS confirmed this morning.
He saved your life.
So where are you taking me?
Back to headquarters.
McVean wants to bring you in
for a debriefing.
What about the files?
The whole mission?
Viktor took care of that.
He found the real documents
hidden somewhere in the barn.
Swapped them out for fake ones.
Bob was using his paintings
as a way to communicate with
his Nazi cohorts.
Evasion points, the whole deal.
You're just gonna let
Bob and Maude get away with it?
Of course not.
My men are working with OSS
as we speak.
Should be takin' 'em down
shortly
before they reach their lodge
for rendezvous.
We've got reports of a sailboat
off the coast.
Viktor's tied up right now.
He's a sitting duck until then.
We have to go back.
Gene, you did good.
But for now, your job here
is done.
Just sit tight.
And don't worry.
Your fiance's gonna answer
for what she did.
We'll make sure of it.
Wouldn't happen to have
a cigarette.
A light?
Gene!
Stop the truck!
Stay back!
Take it easy now, son.
We can't let it end like this.
I told you
it's being taken care of.
We can't let it end this way!
Let me go back.
Please, let me go back.
Move.
Think you're real sneaky, huh?
You really think I didn't know
that you've been up there
on the radio
in the dead of night?
I was only trying
to reach my family.
You're going to sail me
to my rendezvous point,
or I promise you the Gestapo
will reach your family
before you ever do.
Keep movin'. Almost there.
Penny, let him go.
If he dies, so does your alibi.
He's the only one
who can vouch for you.
Penny, listen to me.
Drop the gun!
This isn't you. Listen to me.
You have no idea who I am.
Drop the gun!
Okay.
Okay.
How can you do this?
I just don't understand.
Because I believe in it!
I want what's best
for the people of this country!
What has the government
given us?
So many young lives lost at war?
Who really is the enemy?
Bob and Maude.
What?
They killed your mother, Penny.
I'm sorry.
You have no idea
what you're talking about.
Penny, wait. Just hang on, okay?
Listen, Penny, listen to me.
Put the gun down. Let him go.
It's not too late. Please.
Penny, I can help you.
I really do love you.
I loved you.
Hey, you okay?
Hey.
I'm sorry.
I'm gonna need help.
Hang in there. Here.
Go.
Penny?
I can't believe we have to run
from our homes like refugees.
-Calm down.
-Bob.
We'll be safe at the lodge
before you know it.
- Bob, hurry!
- Sir!
- Freeze!
- Oh.
Penny.
I sometimes have nightmares
that the Germans captured you
and put you in a camp.
Sometimes worse.
Sometimes in the dreams,
I'm screaming for you
to do whatever it is
you need to do.
To join them.
To do what you have to do
to stay alive.
We had our suspicions
about the Duncolms,
but given Penny's place
in the OSS,
it was a dangerous claim.
And unfortunately,
you were our only way to
find out the truth.
It takes a certain type of
person to do that.
To live a lie,
day in, day out.
I can only imagine
the sense of betrayal
you must feel.
Obviously, we're
sweeping this entire ordeal
under the rug.
You'll have to comply with
the official story, of course.
You served your country well.
You should be proud.
From what we can surmise,
Bob was mapping
the surrounding area
for potential invasion sites.
Guess he figured paintings
would be less suspicious
than photographs.
I suppose he was right.
If there's ever anything
we can do...
There is.
A very brave gentleman I know,
his family is trapped overseas.
He saved my life.
We'll do what we can.
