X Company (2015) s03e08 Episode Script

Naqam

Previously on X Company.
I've been asked to bring a companion with me to the anniversary gala, and I'd be honoured - if you would accompany me.
- That would be lovely.
I'm leaving for Berlin tomorrow to provide private security for Professor Voigt.
Professor Karl Voigt is working on a formula to increase the production of synthetic oil.
Soldiers are coming at 3 p.
m.
It's gonna be an extermination.
- Mama! - Where are you taking her? - Are you proud of what you've done? - I didn't fight.
You are the one who made the children orphans.
You're the monster.
(gunshot) I would like you to meet Dagna.
She needs a family.
I think she will be very happy here.
- How do you live with yourself? - You want me to say that I'm a monster, is that it? Your hands aren't clean either.
You're just like me.
S03E08 Naqam (children laughing) (sheep bleating) So the celebrations are gonna last three days.
Schmidt is gonna keep Voigt hidden until he receives his award.
- Which Himmler's presenting? - Yeah.
Bloody hell.
RSD will be all over him.
We need to find a way to isolate Voigt from bodyguards.
And then what? You'll need a weapon.
Event like that, they'll be frisking the toothpicks.
Camp X is working on it.
And we've got Faber on our side.
Schmidt gave me a ticket for the 7:50 train.
- You can arrange it? - It's the only train to Berlin - this week; we can't miss it.
- I need papers for that border.
Do you still have a copy of your photo? I'll try and take care of it at work.
Meet me at the station.
Noon sharp.
We'll get there.
We're doing it again, aren't we? Walking away from a battle? Leaving them empty-handed? Not empty-handed.
I smuggled this out of the office.
- You smuggled a tourist map? - Hold it up to the light.
"Maly Dolek, Jezyna Dolina, - Mala Wioska.
" - These are the villages and towns selected for upcoming purging actions.
I couldn't take the list, but I borrowed it long enough to poke a few holes.
- This'll give Zosia's crew a leg up.
- Yeah.
Are you all right? I'll see you at noon.
Morning, ladies.
Heidi.
(indistinct chatter) I'm so glad you're here, Helene.
Is everything all right? After the trouble in Nadzieja, I came back to the office last night to deal with some paperwork.
The light was on in Faber's office.
I heard voices.
He was in there with a woman.
If he was, it's none of my business, Heidi.
Or yours.
You know the Fabers well.
I wanted to ask your advice.
Do you think I should tell Sabine her husband's having an affair? You heard voices, talking.
Is that an affair? I saw her leave the office in a hurry.
I saw her.
So, someone talked to him and walked away.
I don't know.
Do you really want to hurt my friend, the Brigadefuhrer's wife, for just gossip? Of course not.
Why don't you let me take this off your mind? (indistinct chatter) (birds singing) (girl humming) (girl humming) Where have you been? You just left.
I didn't know if you were coming back, or if you were even safe.
Sorry.
It was all so sudden.
I needed to think.
And you never came back? I got drawn into an urgent meeting.
The kind I can't say no to.
I slept at the office Didn't want to wake you.
What about her? We'll arrange for a nanny.
Why? She isn't staying.
I won't have that child in my house.
You have to send her away.
If I could do this for you, I would.
But the fact is we can't defy your father.
Not now.
We're supposed to just keep her? I can't explain.
It's a very sensitive time, I can't afford to antagonize him.
You won't for once stand up for yourself? Or for me? It's not that simple.
You always do what you're told no matter what the cost, no matter what it does to your family.
Bread and jam.
(soft piano music) It's raspberry.
It's good.
(gentle music) Karolina, Lucasz.
These need to be cleaned and tested for damage, just like Janowski would have wanted.
(indistinct chatter) It's good.
Keeping them busy, focused.
I hope that doesn't mean what I'm afraid it does? We're going to Berlin.
Berlin? That's very brave.
And very stupid.
Janowski would have loved it.
It will be hard to find someone like him to lead them.
I don't know.
I think they have their leader.
I have something for you.
Hold it up to the light, you'll see where the Germans have planned their attacks.
There's a code on the bottom; tells you order they'll be hit.
We'll be waiting for them.
I thought you might be able to use this.
It's a bit battered, but it works.
This radio's got us through some scrapes.
He'd be glad to know it's helping the right people.
We'll take good care of it.
- (phone ringing) - Good morning.
Herr Brigadefuhrer.
Fraulein Adler! At once! (phone ringing) - Brigadefuhrer.
- After my debrief with Goetschl, I need to meet with Obergruppenfuhrer Schmidt at his home.
Have you prepared for my travel to Berlin? - Yes, sir.
- Good.
I'll be out of the office - for the rest of the day.
- I found him, Herr Brigadefuhrer: Squadron Leader William Sinclair in a Japanese POW camp.
He's being transferred to Berlin by air as we speak.
Well done, Matthias.
The prisoner he's Colonel Sinclair's son, isn't he? I've been reviewing all our information on his operatives.
Keep an eye on the prisoner transfer.
Don't worry about anything beyond that.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got up your sleeve this time.
(boots clicking) (birds singing) Three days of celebration.
There will be public concerts, the theatre.
Even films.
I'm sure little Dagna here would enjoy her first motion picture in the big city.
Have you ever seen fireworks? Haha! Still shy.
It's perfectly normal.
Such a beauty, isn't she? Those eyes remind me of yours at that age.
I knew right away she was the one for you.
That was very thoughtful of you, but the truth is I'm not ready - to be a mother again.
- Don't be silly.
You're an excellent mother.
What about ice cream? You ever had ice cream? I'm sorry, Papa.
It's just too soon.
You can't dwell on unfortunate events forever, Sabine.
You have to move on.
Not every woman is this lucky to have a child with such excellent Germanic traits.
Please, take her back.
Where should I take her back to? To where she came from.
To her family.
- She has no family.
- How does she have no family? If you want a prettier girl, or a younger girl, or a little boy; that's fine.
There will be an ample supply from this area soon enough.
Yes.
Send a truck right away, please.
I have an item for disposal.
"Disposal"? That's right, just one.
Fifteen minutes? Wait! I'll keep her.
She's perfect! I'll keep her! Good.
Come here.
What did you just call her? You're a big girl now, Sabine.
It's time you stopped being sentimental.
Some people have value; some don't.
It's a scientific fact.
The Reich is rebuilding; we can't afford to waste food and resources on parasites.
Are you calling your grandson a parasite? Papa.
Ulli was an aberration.
- You don't believe that.
- I have indulged you long enough.
It's for the best the child is dead.
He was a weed.
So this is what it is now? To be German? After everything we've endured to be finally proud? Yes! I'll find a way, Papa, to be proud.
I'll see myself out.
I'm a big girl now.
Polizeifuhre, Fraulein Adler.
Obviously, yesterday was not a day to be proud of.
The Resistance clearly knew the action was coming.
They had inside information, which means the leak among the Jewish workers in the office was not caught quickly enough.
I never wanted them here in the first place.
But I assure you, Herr Brigadefuhrer, Fraulein Adlr has been reprimanded and relieved of her more sensitive duties.
The Resistance may have had prior knowledge of the action, but they were still surprised.
With the recent attacks to the trains, I had the troops rerouted to arrive - in Nadzieja by truck instead.
- I don't need coddling.
The rail movements were secure.
Only Fraulein Adler and myself knew when the troop train would arrive.
This morning, explosives were found on the tracks.
Without my precautions, many more German soldiers could have been killed.
Well, it's a it's a wise move, Herr Brigadefuhrer.
Ahem! Ja.
(intercom): Train to Krakow now boarding on track 2.
All passengers going to Krakow, now boarding on track 2.
I wanted to apologize, Helene, for earlier.
Yesterday's actions didn't go so smoothly.
I'm a perfectionist, and failure doesn't always bring out my best qualities.
I'm sorry I let my own bad mood cloud my judgment about the Brigadefuhrer.
But I would hate for there to be tension between us.
Yesterday was upsetting for everyone.
I know you meant no offense.
Hmm.
I'm going to take a walk for lunch to clear my head.
- That sounds lovely.
- Yeah.
Could you help me with something first? These need to be stored in the basement archives, and the door's so heavy, I can't do it alone.
Of course.
(typing sounds) (phone ringing) (portentous music) Get in the cell.
Now! Heidi, this is What's gotten into you? Sharing military information with the Resistance, seducing your way into the inner circles, and now forging papers.
Is this one of your compatriots? Yesterday has upset you.
You're not thinking rationally.
I already know it's true.
You're a spy.
You're you're confused.
I mean, this is not what you think.
You're the only other person, other than Goetschl and myself, who thought the troops were arriving in Nadzieja by train.
But somehow, the Resistance knew to set explosives on the rails.
Resistance has been attacking trains long before I arrived.
I thought it was just social grasping when you threw yourself at the Obergruppenfuhrer.
You wouldn't be the first.
But then I see you carrying on with his son-in-law too.
Well, that tells a more serious story.
Give me your wrists.
- Fine.
- No! Here.
(clanking) Goetschl is always trying to discredit me, blame me for his mistakes.
But if I bring him a traitor, someone working right under his nose, that will wipe the smile off the mule's face.
Until he takes all the credit.
Or worse, blames you for hiring a spy in the first place.
I'll go over his head.
No one will care if I bring in two.
It's time for you to talk, Helene.
- Where is she? - It's not like her.
Faber works in the same office; maybe he can tell us if she's there.
So, you know where to go? (boy): Yes.
Here's an extra Groschen - to go as fast as you can.
Go! - I will.
(ominous music) (indistinct chatter) Who was that man you were talking to? I'll take it from here.
Who's the man in the photo? Who else are you working with? How long have you been targeting Franz Faber? I'll shoot if I have to.
What about Obergrupperfuhrer Schmidt? Hm? What are your intentions with him? Hmm? How do you live with yourself? (man): Fraulein Adler? Polizeifuhrer Goetschl is asking for you.
I'll be right there! (clanking) (object clinking on the floor) He didn't show.
It was a red envelope.
- He knows what that means.
- Something's wrong.
- Or he's not there.
- I could go into the office as Alec, tell them I'm looking for a permit.
No, you'll draw too much attention.
And what if something is wrong? We need a friend.
Isn't it risky, you just walking up - to our house like this? - No.
I work at the train station.
Officially, I'm just bringing you your tickets for tonight.
- "Officially"? - I need your help.
- Has something happened? - There's no danger, but I need you to go to the Race and Resettlement office to find Aurora.
- Is she all right? - That's what we need to know.
My friend will be looking for you.
I can't leave Dagna alone.
Who's Dagna? She she was brought here for adoption.
But she's scared and just won't come out.
Dagna? Hello, Dagna.
My name's Alec.
I work in the train station.
I came to bring this lady her tickets, and she says maybe you're scared.
I only know her a little bit, but I already know she's very kind.
Dagna, I'll tell you a secret.
Do you know what my job was before the train station? I used to be an entertainer at the theatre.
And I had a magician friend who showed me a trick.
I can show you if you want.
He used a coin like this.
See? But he was better at it than me.
I'm very clumsy.
I'm always dropping things.
(coin clinking) I'll watch her.
Please go see if Aurora's all right.
Ania.
Would you like me to teach you the trick? - (phone ringing) - Sabine? Oh, hello! I came to see Helene.
Is she here? I haven't seen her.
She must be late from lunch.
- How is little Dagna settling in? - She's fine.
Must be so hard for you.
A new child in the house, especially when you're on your own.
"On my own"? While your husband is here at night, having secret meetings.
It must make things harder for you.
I don't know what you mean by "secret.
" Franz does whatever needs to be done for the security of the Reich, to keep us all safe.
I don't question what his job demands of him, and I can't imagine anyone else would, either.
Of course.
We all appreciate his sacrifices.
Will you tell Helene I was here? I will.
(disquieting music) Sabine.
It's OK, I'm a friend of Aurora's.
- Did you find her? - Mmmm.
Her purse was at her desk, but Heidi said she was away for lunch.
She was also asking about Franz, about his "secret meetings.
" He wasn't inside either.
Something's wrong.
Don't worry about it.
We'll find them.
Go on home.
There's nothing more you can do.
(loud clanking) Your good friend Sabine she's either incredibly naive about her husband's secrets or, I don't know, perhaps she's hiding something too.
I remember when I was a girl in the Bund Deutscher Madel.
Nothing was more important than loyalty, bravery, strength.
And we were so committed, the instructors didn't even need to weed out the weak.
We did that ourselves.
Late at night, in our rooms, we'd test each other.
We'd take a spike, just like this and push it into a girl's arm very slowly to see how long she could take it.
All you have to do is talk.
Let's try this again.
What is your purpose here? (Aurora sniffling) Does Franz Faber know you are a spy? - Please! Please stop.
- What is your real - purpose in Poland? Tell me! - Please, just stop! Stop, stop.
Please, I'll talk, I'll talk.
(flesh ripping) Oh! Ah! (Aurora gasping) This is just my first assignment.
I was sent to Paris to develop trust with Faber through his wife.
So she's not a real friend? I made friends with her to get closer to him.
But neither of them knows this.
Last night, with him, it wasn't business.
(sobbing and sniffling) I mean, not for him.
He's not a traitor.
You're spying on him to help the Resistance.
Why? Why would you do that? Money.
It's a long story.
- So you have a boss, a - A handler, yes.
Someone in town? How many of you are there here? Heidi, if you promise to let me go and not to report me, I will give you their names.
- Names? - I can call an emergency meeting through a contact.
All the local agents will meet.
They're much more significant than I am.
They're professionals.
Heidi, I'll cooperate completely.
I would give you the money as long as you let me go.
If you gather your colleagues I promise I will let you go.
(sighing in relief) Thank you.
Thank you.
(indistinct chatter) Good afternoon.
Would it be possible to buy two tickets and leave them under a friend's name? Of course.
The name is Bijou.
I'm arranging a birthday party for him, and he needs to arrive in Pomoc - at 3 p.
m.
sharp.
- Pomoc at 3 p.
m.
Thank you.
(Neil panting) (clanking and cranking noises) 3 p.
m.
sharp.
Write this down.
Just west of Pomoc, down the road from the cemetery in a hut with a metal roof and green windows.
There'll be at least three of them there.
Saboteurs.
Members of an underground cell.
And they're probably armed, so be prepared.
Good.
(door opening) (beeping in Morse code) I did what I promised.
You promised you'd Let you go? We're going to Obergruppenfuhrer Schmidt's house where I will deliver a traitor.
(engine revving up) (honking) A woman of your background, your education, how you could turn your back on our people? Sell your body to the enemy? And your colleagues, all German too? They consider themselves patriots.
- Patriots? - Yes.
They say that Hitler's Germany is not their Germany.
(engine sputtering) What are you doing? - I'm not doing anything.
- Keep driving! I can't, we're running out of gas.
- Don't lie to me! - Please don't! Don't shoot.
Just look for yourself! No! (Heidi gasping) Heidi, I want you to know that you were killed by a Jew.
(Aurora gasping) What happened? She, um, she found me out.
And she was about to expose us so I stopped her.
The operation is safe.
(Aurora sniffling and sighing) Thank you.
What do we do with this? Same thing she did to all her victims.
The mass grave's not far.
Listen, why am I being kept waiting? My appointment was 20 minutes ago.
I apologize, Herr Brigadefuhrer.
The Obergruppenfuhrer is still in his meeting.
Let's buy a ticket in Heidi's name.
Somewhere neutral like Spain? I'll courier a ticket to her desk.
It'll look like she was trying to get out of town.
Right after sending German soldiers into an ambush.
- That won't look good on her.
- You got your tickets - for the train tonight? - Yeah.
Can I ask you something? Yeah.
You're sure you're OK? Mm.
Good.
How did it happen? How did Heidi figure out you were an agent? Just one thing led to another.
She started asking questions Because she thought Faber and I were having an affair.
But why would she think that? Because she saw us together last night.
But you were with us up at the camp.
We were talking.
It was after that.
What did she see? Just don't make me say it.
What are you doing here? Franz, come in.
(door closing) Take a look at this.
Your young colleague had his eyes open.
This man is in Pruszko as we speak.
A civilian.
But Untersturmfuhr Edsel clearly remembers seeing him in German uniform at your promotion party in Paris.
And now, he has proof of a covert communication between you two.
You are a traitor, a double agent.
No.
The Allies only think I'm a double agent.
- What are you saying? - A cell of Allied spies tried to recruit me in Paris.
I saw it as an opportunity to learn everything I could about the enemy.
Over the last few weeks, I have been "working" with them, but it has been calculated to slowly earn their trust, to lower their defenses.
It has so far been very effective.
Edsel, give us the room.
(door closing) If this is the case, why did you say nothing? I brought you here to protect Operation Marigold, and if you were doing something like this, I needed to know.
With respect, I disagree.
Cultivating a relationship with spies is a delicate process.
Your area of expertise is energy, not intelligence.
You worry about your oil; I'll worry about the spies.
What about the agents that sabotaged the Czarna refinery? A calculated move to keep their trust.
When you wouldn't tell me which refinery Professor Voigt was operating from, I tracked down the information myself.
- How? - Your vehicle logs.
I saw you were only travelling to Ryba, so I sent the agents to Czarna where I could capture them and keep Professor Voigt off their radar.
If the Allies are targeting oil production, surely they will send more to replace the ones you captured.
You may not be seeing the bigger picture here.
It doesn't matter how many individual agents I arrest and question, the Allies will always send more.
The only way to pay off the long-term game is to secure the man who's sending those spies from overseas, the man who knows more than they all know, combined.
Colonel Duncan Sinclair.
How do you plan to do that? He will come to me because Sinclair trusts me.
And I have his son.
(indistinct chatter) What's the word? The ambush raised questions.
They couldn't find her at home, and I hid a few fake papers in her drawer.
- Nice.
- Now Goetschl is telling everyone that he knew it that Heidi was working with the Resistance all along.
But he was onto her, and that's why she got scared - and tried to flee to Spain.
- So we're not exposed.
For now.
Where's Alfred? He had some things to wrap up.
OK.
What? Bloody day you've had.
(amused sigh) Yeah.
Come here.
- Safe trip, yeah? - Yeah.
Good luck.
Herr Brigadefuhrer, I deeply regret my mistake and I fully accept any disciplinary action you consider appropriate.
Matthias you showed insight, courage and initiative.
I respect that.
I just want to know, why did you go to Schmidt with your concerns, instead of directly to me? I thought I was doing the right thing.
When I was a Hitler Youth, it was the first time I was worth something.
I belonged to something more important than me.
And they taught us about loyalty, about what to do if we see - anything - I want to know what you think.
I am a loyal person.
I I just didn't know which loyalty.
To me or the flag.
What would your father say? I never knew him.
He gave his life in the First War.
Your need to do your duty to belong to a higher purpose.
I honour it.
I share it.
But beyond that, we must all remember who we are under the uniform, that one day this war will be over, and we will all have to look one another in the eye.
I can overlook this one transgression.
But if I am to continue to teach you to reach your full potential, I want nothing less than your full loyalty.
Without question.
Good.
Then there is something you need to think about.
Sometimes, the only way to defeat your enemy is to become your enemy.
Deploying truth and trust as they serve your strategy (train whistle) that he's willing to step into your parlour.
And when he has relaxed just enough to expose his throat you strike.
(intercom): Berlin Station Hauptbahnhof.
Berlin Station! Welcome to Germany, Dagna.
Her name's Ania.
(engine revving up) What a relief to be back home.
(dramatic music) Announcer: On the next X Company Stop him.
Operation Marigold is more important than you or me.
You got to get Aurora to the finish line.
Go! [rapid gun fire.]
Sinclair, you know there is no where for you to go.
Announcer: X Company, next Wednesday at 9:00 on CBC.
