Das Boot (2018) s03e03 Episode Script

The following programme contains
strong language and scenes of a
sexual nature.
Your poor colleague's effects.
It's very little, I'm afraid.
The convoy was in the danger zone
when a decision was made
The escort was drawn away.
You mean my son's convoy.
I couldn't believe it.
Excuse me. Whiskey sour.
One for me too, while you're at it.
I know what you're thinking.
"Pushy American."
Not at all.
Name's Gardiner.
Giese.
German?
Yeah.
No need to apologize.
Nothing you can do about it.
Nothing I could do about it either,
even if I wanted to.
War's happening somewhere else.
Put them on my room, 104. Certainly.
Good to know you.
What brings you to Lisbon?
Well
Freelance journalist.
That pays the bar bills.
I'm really an author.
Writing a novel about life in
Lisbon. That's why I come here.
That's why everybody comes here,
British, German, Italian, French.
Everybody is going to be
a character in it.
It's going to be great.
You know, when it gets started.
What about you?
Short stay. Business.
Yeah? Doing what?
I work for Kapp Holdings.
Isn't that
who the other guy worked for, uh
Dorfmann.
He used to come here, right?
That's right.
Yeah, Dorfmann. Really nice guy.
Then I heard he got his throat slit.
Yeah, police believe
he was the victim of local criminals.
A random attack.
A random attack, or
the opening page
of somebody's best-selling novel.
If you'll excuse me.
Hey, get me another one of these
on his room, yeah?
Sure.
Now that is good. That is good.
Thank you, sir.
14, red.
My colleague Dorfmann
may have played here.
I was advised to cover
outstanding debt he may have had.
I'm sorry, sir.
I'm sorry, sir.
Everyone has to leave.
Sir.
Swinburne.
There may be some truth in that.
So it was true.
Intelligence was received
suggesting PQ 19 was believed
to be under impending attack
from the Tirpitz.
Such an eventuality required
a change of strategy
and the escorts
were ordered to withdraw.
60 defenceless merchant ships had
to face Germans' Nordic wolf packs!
They should have fought!
You know corvettes and destroyers
are no match for a battleship.
His Majesty's vessels
couldn't be risked.
And his subjects' vessels?
His subjects who sail in them,
feed his people, arm his forces.
They don't matter to him?
The ships in the convoy
were given instructions to scatter.
To give them
each individually a better chance.
Obviously, it was understood
there would be losses.
And the Tirpitz?
I'm afraid
the intelligence was faulty.
It never turned up.
That convoy was left open to attack
for no reason!
A decision was made.
A difficult decision, and I'm sorry
for what it meant for you.
Obviously.
I'm not your enemy.
I know who my enemies are.
Just let me know
when I can get back out to sea.
All in good time.
No, damn it!
I could be back out there in days.
You and I know those dock men
are dragging their heels.
What the hell
are you doing about it?
Is there anything else, Commander?
What was my First Officer
in here for?
Oh, he was just in for a chat.
Sir.
There's a nine.
Who's the foreman here?
What's it to you?
I'm this ship's captain.
Get back to bloody work!
You'll get
no bowing and scraping from us.
We work by properly negotiated terms,
including breaks.
That means back on in 15 minutes.
20 minutes.
That's when
our overtime rate kicks in.
You lazy, greedy bastards!
Real working men are freezing
their arses off in Arctic convoys,
trying to win this bloody war!
And all you lot can think about
is your fat pay packets.
Get back to bloody work!
You've got no right to come in
I've got every fucking right!
And get back to work,
you fucking traitor!
The lot of you!
I need to talk to you.
About what?
Dorfmann.
I heard you talking about him
at the casino the other night.
I w
You work at the casino.
What's your name?
Ines.
Ines de Pina.
If you're trying to find out
what happened to him
What's it to you?
When he came to the casino,
we talked.
He was interested in Portugal.
Interested in me.
When I talked about
opening a bar of my own one day,
up north of here,
where I'm from, he
he said he'd come back after the war
and we could buy it together.
When was the last time you saw him?
The day before he died.
He was
He was different.
How?
Distracted.
He said he had some work problems.
Maybe it's just a coincidence, I
No, no, no. Wait.
Was there anything, anyone
in particular, that he mentioned?
Any other German
he spoke to at the casino?
Some other businessman.
Dr Beck?
Yes.
Sometimes.
Whoever did this to him
That's not why I'm here.
But I'll let you know
if you can be of help.
What is going on over there?
People trying to get
their visas to America.
The queues get longer
when there's a boat due.
Must be soon.
A way out of the war
is why most people come to Lisbon.
Or maybe to escape it for a while.
What about you?
I don't need to escape it.
Maybe not, but a chance to step
back, look at it differently.
You see?
Same war,
but worlds apart.
In Lisbon we understand that there's
more than one side to every story.
But you understand that.
You seem like a civilized man.
Mr Giese. Inspector.
Our inquiries, they are concluded.
Regarding the death
of the unfortunate Herr Dorfmann.
So these are the papers
for the release of his body.
You can meet me at the morgue
to take possession.
A member of the German Legation
will need to sign.
Then I suggest
he will meet us both there.
Very efficient.
You sound surprised.
You said you wanted
your stay to be short.
Unless what you told me wasn't true.
I know better than to get caught
in a lie to a policeman.
Lying and getting caught
is two different things.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Anyway, I'm glad I got to see you.
Inspector.
Actually I'm here on other business.
There was a fire last evening.
Is that a police matter?
When started deliberately, yes.
Really?
Yeah. Have a good day.
