Das Boot (2018) s03e07 Episode Script
The Enemy of My Enemy
That novel I was gonna write?
Looks like you'll be in it.
It hurts?
I'm guessing you've never been shot before.
No.
But there's lots of things I haven't
done before.
Never been shot,
never murdered my best friend
never
screwed a nightclub singer.
Is it true what they say
about spade girls?
You can tell me.
Never been on Death Row
Then you'll pay a condemned man
the courtesy
of getting to the point.
Fair enough.
So I come bearing greetings
from Admiral Kenton.
Says you may not remember him.
You were young.
I remember.
He came to Kiel
at my father's invitation.
Said he gave you a sailing medal.
Well,
then his memory is not so good.
He gave it to my sister.
She was always quicker
through the water than me.
So maybe she should have been
the U-boat captain.
Maybe.
So the Admiral and I have one
question for you.
How do you feel about the war?
I wish it had never happened.
And now that it has?
Just tell me what the hell you want.
I have a proposition for you.
Will I like it
more than the electric chair?
You said his name was Giese.
No, his name was Forster.
He's Gestapo.
He's fucking what?!
How do you know?
What did you do, did you go out?
No.
Remember where I found you, asshole.
We had a deal!
I didn't go out.
Not once all this fucking time, OK?
I only met him once, in La Rochelle.
So what the hell is he doing here?!
How should I know?
Fuck!
We can't afford this. Not now.
Whatever he's doing here,
he's not holding me up.
What do you mean?
When he wakes, we find out
what he knows.
Then we shoot him.
Just a pair.
At ease. New orders in, Number One,
Lieutenant Walsh.
Yes, sir.
After we've delivered ONS185 safely
to the custody of HMCS Alberta,
we're to proceed to Gibraltar,
where we're to escort SL129F
back to Liverpool.
And there's something else,
gentlemen. A glass each, please.
Yes, sir.
There was a telegram
regarding a very serious situation
that has arisen back home.
I'd asked my contacts
to keep me informed.
What is it, sir? Is it the King?
Churchill?
It seems
that in the early hours
of the morning,
a certain baby boy, Joseph David,
was born to a certain lady
called Annabelle
in the county of Sussex,
mother and son doing extremely well.
Father, however,
in a state of shock, but soon
to be doing very well himself.
To Joseph David Mercer.
God bless and protect him.
To Joseph David Mercer.
Cheers.
Cheers.
Congrats, sir.
I'd best get back on deck.
Take the chance to knock
those gunners into shape.
Well done, Mr Mercer.
Congrats.
Why didn't you tell me, Mercer?
It didn't seem appropriate.
Was it the reason
for your transfer request?
No, sir. We all have families.
I wouldn't expect special treatment.
So it was because you disapproved
of my captaincy.
I do value your honesty, Mercer.
Promise me one thing.
Yes, sir?
Your son, when you get the chance,
be honest with him.
Tell him how much
he means to you.
Whenever you get the chance.
Yes, sir.
Thank you, sir. That's good advice.
Right, let's get this crate
south to Gib.
A welcome change of climate.
This new convoy, she's a fast one.
So I'll make sure that you get
some proper leave this time.
Is he talking?
So I know your name
isn't Giese.
I'm guessing Kapp Holdings isn't
much of an investment opportunity.
Your cover's blown, Forster.
You're gonna tell us
why you're really here, or you die.
Plenty of Germans have tried
to kill him. Right, Klausi?
We're not risking everything
we're doing here over you.
By the way, our friend's
made contact with your father.
First one's in the kneecap.
If what you're doing
here is so secret,
you can't afford anyone
hearing a gunshot.
You're right.
All I want to do
is get out of Lisbon.
So how did you know
- Hoffmann was here?
- I didn't.
I followed you, I saw you
with Gruber.
I was sent here
to investigate a murder. Dorfmann.
He was Gestapo too.
There was supposed to be
a German traitor in Lisbon.
But I uncovered something else.
Wait, wait. What did you uncover?
A scientist, called Beck.
Loyal to Germany.
Well, you know Beck.
He was being framed and smuggled
- - out of Lisbon.
- Why?
- I don't know.
A conspiracy, a deal.
Fur wolfram!
Look, the Portuguese are bound
by agreements as to how much
they can give both sides.
I heard a rumour the Germans
are doing all they can to get more.
Even bypassing normal banking
channels to pay in gold bullion.
With the documents he says
are in this dead-drop,
we can prove the Germans are
illegally buying wolfram from them.
The Portuguese would be forced
to end the deal.
This isn't part of our plan.
You said my father was on his way.
That plan is just the beginning
of something.
It could still take months
to have an effect.
If he's telling the truth
IF he's telling the truth.
that means no wolfram
for Germany.
Which means ending the war
a year early, maybe more.
If that happens,
you'll get your share of the credit.
Could be a trap.
