[somber music]
[distorted shouting]
[man] Pull in here.
[indistinct chattering]
No. Wait in the car, please.
[man 2] You there!
Pick this up, and back in line!
I said now!
We don't have time for this!
Get back to work!
Heil Hitler.
What is the reason
for this, Herzog?
This man refuses to work.
And is this true, kriegy?
The Geneva Convention
says we're required
to perform whatever
labors asked,
as long as it does not
support the war.
This is not allowed.
He brings up a very
interesting point, Herzog.
I'd say our British guest here
might even be a smarter man
than you.
What? What do you mean?
I mean that a smart man
would never break the rules,
nor commit treason.
What? I've never
committed treason.
No, Sturmbannfuhrer.
Are you telling me that
you've never sold
information
about a train shipment
to Polish resistance?
No, Sturmbannfuhrer. Never.
- Shoot this traitor.
- [Herzog] What?
I didn't betray anyone,
Sturmbannfuhrer.
Shoot him, or I shoot you.
- No!
- Do it.
- Come on.
- [Herzog whimpers]
[gun clicks]
Very good.
For the Geneva Convention.
You sold us out, Herzog.
No!
Get back to work.
[man shouts in German]
[man shouting]
Keep it up! Keep it up!
Let's go! Come on!
Come on! Let's go! Let's go!
[dramatic music]
[music on radio plays, muffled]
[man] Evan.
General Reinhardt,
Master Guns O'Malley.
Captain.
Oh, stand easy, Captain.
No need for formality.
So, have you heard
from your family lately?
Everything well there?
- They'd prefer me home, sir.
- I'm sure they would.
And that boy of yours--
Tell me his name again.
- It's Weston, sir.
- Weston.
He's taking very good care of
his mother since I've been gone.
No surprise there, considering
his dad is the best Jedburgh
commander we've got.
I've got some red
in my ledger, sir.
Quit being so hard on yourself.
This is a war.
Unfortunately, people die.
I've seen my fair share.
I understand, Sergeant.
Captain, join me.
The Soviet army is tearing up
German defenses
up and down Eastern Europe.
They're knocking
on the very door of Warsaw
even as we speak,
which is,
to speak quite frankly,
a matter of some concern.
You will recall that in '39,
Hitler and Stalin
signed a nonaggression pact.
- Sir.
- When this war is over,
the future of Germany, Europe,
hell, the whole world--
it's gonna be in the hands of
the US and Great Britain
and, unfortunately,
the Soviet Union.
Now, we appreciate the fact
that they are going to be
part of the post-war
peace process.
But we are going to ensure
that we have maximum leverage.
- All respect, sir, I'm a Jed.
- We know.
His name's Adam von König.
He's a lieutenant colonel
in the Wehrmacht.
We need you to drop in, grab
him, and bring him back to us.
[Evan] Nazi.
[O'Malley] Von König and some
high-ranking German officials--
a group called
the Kreisau Circle--
have an operation called
Valkyrie that they're putting
in motion tomorrow
to overthrow
the German government.
Won't Hitler have something
to say about that, sir?
Not if he's dead.
Adolf Hitler will be
assassinated at noon tomorrow
as Operation Valkyrie
is set in motion.
At that time, all government
ministries, radio stations,
telephone switchboards will be
seized by the reserve army.
By end of day tomorrow,
Germany will have a new
government.
And if they're to be
Western-friendly, we need to
make contact with von König
as quickly as we can
to ensure his safety.
That's because we are certain
that he is an asset
with actionable intelligence
that extends beyond Valkyrie.
Now, that intelligence is not
only about post-war Europe,
but we believe a potential
future of the Nazi party.
Captain, we want von König
back here alive.
And we can't afford him
to fall into the hands
of the Russians.
Sir.
Sergeant O'Malley
will continue
the briefing
as you gather your team.
You're dismissed.
Evan...
just one more big push,
then you go on home
to your family.
Sir.
I can't believe they're dropping
us into Kraut territory
to extract a goddamn Nazi.
Not a Nazi, Sites.
Von König is actually part of
an underground resistance
movement
called the Kreisau Circle.
Those are the sons of bitches
that are gonna take down
the Nazi party.
We're gonna make sure
that shit actually happens.
Yeah. If things go
as planned and Hitler's
killed by lunch tomorrow,
then that bloke's
a bloody hero in my book.
Still a fucking Nazi.
How long to the DZ?
I think it's another
ten minutes or so.
The pilot said it's gonna
get a little bit bumpy,
so you might want to hold on.
You look nervous, soldier.
You all right?
Well, I'm a little
bit nervous.
This is only my second mission.
I'm usually behind a desk.
Nothing to worry about.
We do this all the...
[grunts]
Yeah, grab the radio!
- Jesus Christ!
- Get the radio!
- Can you fly this thing?
- No!
Put this on now!
Strap in! Get ready to bail!
Two on the arms,
one around the waist.
- We can't jump!
It ain't safe, Cap!
- We don't have a choice!
Make this as tight as it'll go!
- On the line!
- Do it!
- Hook the end!
- Go!
Oh, God.
Go!
Go!
[grunts]
Ohh... [groaning]
[panting]
[explosions]
[grunting]
[sharp exhale]
[panting]
[distant shouting]
Shit.
- Clarence!
- [Clarence] Yes, Captain?
- You all right?
- [Clarence] Yes, sir.
Get that chute off.
We gotta bury everything.
- Jacket too.
- [man] Aye-aye.
[shouts]
[man shouts in German]
[both grunt]
[fighting sounds]
[panting]
Thanks, England.
We're lucky you
didn't shoot, Sites.
We'd have had Nazis
swarming all over us down here.
I'll start digging.
I'll take watch.
My best guess is we had
about ten minutes of flight
time left to the drop zone.
Find me some landmarks,
a location, something.
- Tell me where the hell we are.
- Captain, I'm not even supposed
to be here.
- Well, we gotta make due.
- Captain, I'm Private First
Class.
I barely know how to shoot.
I only completed basic training.
Before the war,
I'd never killed a man.
First time for everything.
Come on. Let's find the others.
[indistinct arguing]
Where was that?
Not far.
Let's move.
[clicks once]
[two clicks returned]
- [Evan] Okay. It's them.
- Where the fuck are we?
[Evan] Sites,
get on the radio.
Go to London.
Tell them our situation.
I think we're about
54 miles north of the DZ.
Puts us in a forest
outside of Wilcze.
You know how
to use this, right?
I've only ever shot
a target, sir.
Whatever starts shooting at you,
that's your new target.
It's like being on the diamond.
Just throw strikes.
What's that?
That's you, right?
You used to play in the Majors?
Yeah, but that was a long time
ago, and just for a little bit.
Just like he said,
it's your new strike zone.
Aim for the center of the chest.
You got a better opportunity to
hit the target.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Captain,
this seems damaged.
- Nothing but static.
- We gotta fix it, buddy.
Crash site's gotta be this way.
Let's move.
Hey, Clarence, put this on.
[Evan] We gotta get there
before the Germans do.
Let's pray there's something
we can salvage.
[dramatic music]
[indistinct shouting]
Oh, shit.
So much for salvaging our gear.
Well, we'll just have
to make the rendezvous
with what we've got.
My guess is we're two days,
day and a half, to Koronowo
if we hustle.
We'll be late,
but we'll get there.
Whatever gear you got left,
make sure it's secure.
Nothing rattles, nothing shines.
We've got a hell of a long walk,
gentlemen.
[Reinhardt] Yes?
- Sir.
- What is it?
Captain Blackburn's plane,
sir. It hasn't returned.
- Radio contact?
- Not since it entered
Prussian airspace.
We received reports
of significant flak fire.
Russian field commanders
to the east confirmed.
It doesn't sound promising.
Any word from
von König's people?
No.
Well.
Well...
No. I'm betting that
Blackburn's got a nose on him.
If they made it off the plane,
he's gonna find a way.
He is a tough cookie.
Sergeant, when there's
no plan "B", well, that
leaves you with just hope.
Eyes on the stars. Understand?
- Yes, sir.
- Good.
- That'll be all.
- Yes, sir.
[door opens]
[dramatic music]
[both shouting
in foreign language]
[all shouting]
[dramatic music continues]
[indistinct chatter]
[woman sings in German
to soft music]
[man] Hitler--
he's been living in fear,
afraid his own people
were plotting against him.
Ironically, that's the
only thing he may actually
have right.
The walls of the empire
are crumbling,
Sturmbannfuhrer Krauss,
but Germany
has a friend in Argentina.
Yes, but an expensive one.
Any news from Berlin,
Sturmbannfuhrer?
Yes. The reserve army
has been mobilized.
And the Fuhrer?
No word yet.
If he's dead,
there will be chaos.
And what if he's alive?
Why don't you wait for me
in my office, please?
- We have a busy day ahead.
- Of course.
[Krauss] This week, we suffered
the heaviest bombing
since beginning of
combat operations.
[woman] Would you like some tea?
The Russians are closing
in on the Baltic.
Königsberg will fall.
And without a port,
we have nothing.
The time is now.
[fly buzzing]
Adolf Hitler dead.
Halle-fucking-lujah.
[man] I'm surprised it's
taken us this long. Fucking
master race, my ass.
[Sites] Yeah. Just would've been
nice if one of the good guys had
taken him out, you know?
They are the good guys, Sites.
They just happen to be German.
Exactly.
We're on the front lines
of history right now, fellas.
I would've never left Indiana
if it weren't for this.
Killing Nazis was my ticket.
Ooh, down, down, down.
[men talking loudly in German]
[bullet whizzing past]
Sites, cover the left flank!
Gun up, eyes open, buddy.
Why the fuck are they shooting
at us? We're civilians, right?
We're civilians
with guns!
That makes us
not so civil.
How's that
for fucking civil?
- [Evan] Sites?
- Yeah!
- You see the eight?
- Copy!
- I'm going! You cover!
- Cover fire!
Captain!
[shouts in German]
Grenade!
[men shout]
[dramatic music]
- Fuck! I'm out!
- Me too!
[Evan shouts]
[both grunting]
[man groans]
Captain!
[soldiers shouting in German]
[soldier cocks gun]
Move away from the gun.
Move away,
or I will kill him!
[panting]
[man] You Yankees were on
the plane that went down, no?
Where are your uniforms?
What are you doing in Prussia?
We're on a mail run with medical
supplies from the Red Cross.
Headed to a POW camp in Poland.
Hey, relax, all right, chief?
[groaning]
What is your mission?
Well, we were gonna take a quick
jaunt through wine country,
grab a couple of beers in
Belgium, and move on to...
[grunts]
[spits]
What are you doing
in East Prussia?
What he said.
[vehicle approaching]
Heil Hitler!
[man responds in German]
You have prisoners, I see.
Three Americans
and a Tommy, yes.
From the plane
that went down?
I believe so, yes.
But they are not talking. Yet.
"The good people
in the world
are far from being
satisfied with each other,
and my arms are
the best peacemaker."
So you heard of
Samuel Colt, huh?
- One of theirs?
- [soldier] It was.
You have Soviets too?
Yes, a Russian and a Polack.
We caught them rigging the train
tracks to Rastenburg.
Then bring them to me.
[man speaks foreign language]
It's true, what they say,
isn't it?
What?
There is no such thing
as a smart Polack.
[grunts]
Your interrogation
techniques are obviously
less effective than mine.
If we kill them,
we lose what they know.
Kill one.
Perhaps the others will talk.
[stammers]
Come on.
You look them in the eyes,
Clarence. They'll remember
you that way.
On my signal.
Did you see the man I came with?
Kill all the others.
[dramatic music]
[shouts in foreign language]
[man groaning]
- Who's this guy?
- Yeah, no shit.
Thank you.
I wasn't helping you.
Just trying to get
an extra gun to get my men back.
Nice shot.
[in foreign language]
Russians.
[in foreign language]
Captain Evan Blackburn, OSS.
Major Aleksandr Kulkov, GRU.
[Sites] What's GRU?
Unconventional warfare,
deep reconnaissance, sabotage.
Soviet version of us,
basically.
Nice uniforms.
- GRU-issued?
- Yeah. What about you?
It's a little early
for Oktoberfest, no?
No, we're just getting
an early start,
seeing as that beer is
the only thing German we like.
Come on. The truth.
Why you are here?
Plane got shot down.
We dropped in to help
out local resistance.
Those were our orders too.
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
We're working with Polish AK
to take back German-held cities.
Major, I overheard the Germans
say your two men
were caught trying to sabotage
a train to Rastenburg.
I don't call that being a part
of Poland's Operation Tempest.
Tempest may be over.
Did you see there was an attempt
on Hitler's life today?
- What do you mean, "attempt"?
- That's all I know, Captain.
[in foreign language]
Shit!
This thing's shot to shit, sir.
You should try using
cup and string.
How about he gives it
a try anyway, eh, Ivan?
My name--
Tolstoy, Yevgeny Mikhailovich.
Sure it is.
- It's done.
- Major.
Do you have a radio
we could use?
The radio I have is not useful
to you, Captain,
unless you'd like to speak
directly to Tovarishch Stalin.
[dogs barking]
We'll head north.
There is a safe house
two miles from here.
You're more than welcome
to come with us, Captain.
Let's gather whatever supplies
you have left. Let's move.
We can't go with them, Cap.
We don't have a radio
or rations or much ammo.
- We don't have a choice, Dixon.
- But, Cap,
I thought this whole mission was
to try and get this König guy
before the Russians could.
Now we're gonna
team up with them?
We're not teaming up with
anybody. They just happen
to be moving
the same direction we are.
Besides, they're not just
here to blow up a train.
There's something
far bigger going on.
[indistinct chatter]
How's the packing coming?
It's a lot with
such short notice.
Yes, but
unfortunately,
I have other affairs elsewhere
I must now get into order.
For country.
For the Aryan race.
Is the news
from Berlin true?
- Is the Fuhrer dead?
- I don't know, and frankly,
I don't care.
This war is lost anyway.
The Fuhrer once gave us promise
of world domination,
but even he's seen
the writing on the wall.
I believe we all have.
My dear Elke...
I'm afraid our time here
has come to an end.
Will your wife
be traveling with you?
When the time comes, yes.
Take off that dress.
What?
I'm still your boss,
Fraulein Schroeder,
and you are still
my secretary.
- Do it!
- [gasps]
But I won't see you again
after tonight?
Well, then, we have very little
time to waste, do we?
Keep going.
Can't you at least tell me
where you're going?
Why are you so curious?
Maybe I just want to know
how I can see you again.
You take those off,
and maybe I will tell you.
You first.
Rastenburg.
[knocking on door, door opens]
[speaks German]
What is it?
The bishop wants
to speak with you.
He says it's urgent.
[Krauss] Von König.
[man] Turns out von König
is part of Kreisau Circle.
I wish we had more time.
Don't you?
Good-bye, Elke.
[door closes]
[Aleksandr] The shovel
is next to the door.
A sign of safety.
Wait! That's Oskar.
That's his place.
Why the fuck is Oskar
still pointing a gun at me?
Yeah, I thought you said
this was a safe house, Red.
- Who the hell are these people?
- [Aleksandr] OSS.
We fell a bit short
of our drop, sir.
I see.
Come in.
[music on radio]
[Oskar] Sasha...
Let's hope so.
Hey, listen, Captain.
If there's one thing I learned
working for Spot,
it's never
trust a Russian.
[Clarence] Who's Spot?
He controls the East End
bookmaking rackets
back in London.
[Clarence] So you were
a gangster?
How does a gangster
make the Jeds?
Well, I prefer to think of
myself as a problem-solver,
really.
And these guys--
they're a major fucking problem.
Nothing happens
the way we expect it.
I am sure our American friends
know that.
Take a deep breath.
More coffee?
Appreciate it, sir.
What you looking at, Moscow?
I'm from Siberia.
And you are looking at me.
- Where are we?
- 30 kilometers west of
Koronowo.
Where would you like to be,
Captain?
Well, given the option, I'm sure
we'd all rather be at home with
our families.
You said you're here
to help local resistance?
Who's your contact?
Oskar Halminski here--
he is Polish resistance.
Maybe he can help.
We appreciate the offer, sir,
and we're indebted to you,
Major,
but I have a mission that
I'm not at liberty to discuss.
- I'm sure you understand that.
- And that mission be what,
really?
When I mentioned there'd been
an attempt on Hitler's life,
you didn't seem that surprised.
I think you knew about it
before you dropped in here.
I think that's why you
were dropped in here
in the first place.
Your mission, Captain.
It's classified, Major.
You haven't been truthful to me,
Captain.
[Evan] And you haven't been
truthful with me, Major.
You're not here just to help
Polish resistance, are you?
And you're certainly not here
to blow up a fucking train.
[Dixon] Bloody Russians.
I knew it.
What was that, Red?
I'm sorry,
- but it sounds like you're
fucking choking when you talk.
- Dix!
- You know, that's one ugly
fucking language you got.
- [Evan] Dixon!
I want to know why
you were sent here, Captain.
Now, just hold on a second
there, all right, chief?
- You ain't in charge here.
- Neither are you.
- [Evan] Hey!
- Put your fucking guns down!
Put your gun down.
[Oskar] No, no. Wait, wait.
This is Elke.
She's with me.
Gentlemen, we're here to kill
Nazis, not each other.
Lower your weapons.
We're on the same side.
Are we?
We're good.
Who are they?
These are the Americans.
They're OSS.
And on this side is the Russian
team, Major Sasha Kulkov.
[Evan]
Who is that?
[Oskar] Everyone,
this is Elke Schroeder.
She and I have been working
closely for a long time.
She's a member
of the Kreisau Circle.
Oh, great.
Another fucking Nazi.
I'm German, not Nazi.
[Evan] So you're not just
here for Operation Tempest.
So why don't you tell me why
they would be moving such high
amounts of gold?
We don't know.
I've overheard mention of
an Operation Grey Wolf.
My commander doesn't
trust me with much.
He's been moving millions
in bullion.
At first, we thought
it was for an offensive,
but now it doesn't seem so.
Whatever it is, Valkyrie has
only accelerated the time line
and sent everyone scrambling.
[Oskar] What about Hitler?
Is he dead?
Nobody seems to know.
General Fellgiebel
said he's alive.
Von Stauffenberg
swore he was dead.
Nobody knows what to believe.
Either way,
Krauss is worried.
- Who's Krauss?
- The SS commander I work for.
Sturmbannfuhrer Karl Krauss,
senior officer
of the Polish Gestapo.
He doesn't seem to care
about Hitler either way,
which is even more troubling.
He's leaving for Rastenburg
tomorrow.
- What's in Rastenburg?
- Something to do with
Grey Wolf.
[vehicle approaching]
[Oskar] Germans.
[Elke] They must have
followed me here.
Everybody, upstairs.
What is the meaning of this?
An American plane crashed
not far from here.
It's believed
the men from it have survived.
Well, I haven't seen anyone.
Really? Good.
What is your relationship
with Elke Schroeder,
Mr. Halminski?
I don't know anyone
with that name.
I followed her here.
I know she's here.
She is not.
Well...
then you won't
mind me making sure?
No.
'Course not.
I'm here.
I never trusted you.
What are you doing here?
The better question is,
what are you?
Does Krauss know you're here?
[officer] How dare you.
You're blinding Krauss with your
tits, but you don't blind me.
Oskar is a friend
of my father's, Visser.
I've known him
since I was a child.
Well, why lie about
knowing her earlier, then?
You scare people,
coming in like this.
Elke helps me on the farm.
I can't milk cows with one hand.
What else are you
hiding out there?
- Nothing.
- [Elke] There's nothing else
to hide.
- You're in the wrong place.
- It's just me.
Really?
[Elke] Yes.
Good.
Go. Check.
[man in German on radio]
[Hitler in German]
No, don't.
No.
Viktor!
Dixon, to the truck!
Out, now!
Sites, go, go!
Come on! Come on!
Come on, Captain!
[soldier shouts in German]
- [no audio]
- [dramatic music]
- Kulkov!
- Captain!
Go! Just go!
[chaotic shouting]
Hold on!
Shit! Come on, Dixon!
What about the Russians?
I don't know.
We provided an exit.
Son of a bitch turned it down.
God help them.
Dix, what's going on?
[Dixon] I don't know!
I'm losing power!
- It's fucked.
- [Sites] Is it done?
- [Dixon] Yeah, it's fucked!
- [Sites] All right.
Everybody out.
Hold here.
Captain, what the hell?
What's with the Russians
back there? They okay?
It's their option to stay.
Clearly, our objectives
aren't the same.
- Guys are fucking crazy.
- Yeah, I never met any that
weren't.
Okay. We need to go to Koronowo.
Clarence, where's the map?
The salt mines of Koronowo?
You're here for von König,
aren't you?
- Yeah. Do you know where he is?
- He is where you say.
Look, I'm Kreisau,
like von König.
I have nothing to hide from you,
and you have nothing
you need to hide from me.
We can trust each other.
So what do we do now, then, Cap?
- We stay on mission.
- [Dixon] If Hitler's not dead,
there won't be any new
government to try and influence.
He's right, sir.
This guy could be useless
to everybody now.
König risked everything
going to the Allies
with this information.
We're not turning
our backs on him now.
You have to understand,
with a failed attempt
on Hitler's life,
von König will be executed
the moment they find him.
The Gestapo will be searching
for all of us right now.
König stays the mission.
It's our obligation
to get him and whatever
he knows to London safely.
- Let's move.
- But how?
We've got no radio.
We've got no way
of contacting anyone.
Captain, this whole mission
was based around Valkyrie's
success.
[Evan] You're wrong, Dixon.
It's far bigger than that.
Now, I wasn't given details,
but apparently
he's in possession of something
far more important
than even he is.
So until we hear otherwise,
we stay on orders.
Captain, you said you wanted
to get back home,
and going after König
ain't the shortest distance
between here and there.
I do want to get home, Dix.
I don't like this
any more than you do.
In fact, I'm scared shitless.
I want to see my boy again.
But occasionally,
you're presented with something
that just might be a little more
important than what you're
afraid of.
Understood.
Good.
Be looking to you for directions
once we get close.
Let's move.
[dramatic music]
Okay, topside,
and we cross this bridge.
If this is still accurate,
that road should take us
straight to the mine.
- Is that correct?
- It will.
Okay, Sites, Dix, clear a path.
Copy.
Are you okay?
It's Oskar.
He knew my father.
They were friends
before the war.
He took me under his wing.
He treated like his own.
I understand.
We've lost a lot
in this war.
[whistles]
[Evan] Okay. Time to move.
[whispers] Sites, that side.
Stop!
Stop!
[speaks foreign language]
Let's go. Guns down.
What the hell'd you
say to them, Captain?
The Kreisau Circle password
for Valkyrie-- "panta rhei."
It means "all is in flux"
in Greek.
I'll say.
You are late.
[speaks German]
[indistinct chatter]
Be advised, you're not
our first visitors this morning.
Von König is a very popular man.
Where are you exactly?
[Visser] The north entrance
of the salt mine.
Elke must be Kreisau Circle,
and I may have found their
stronghold.
- Are you sure?
- It's heavily guarded.
I would certainly need
reinforcements to engage.
- Are you on your way,
Sturmbannfuhrer?
- Yes.
I'm gathering my men.
We are about to leave.
Now, if you have found
the Circle's stronghold,
that would mean von König
must be there as well.
Yes, Sturmbannfuhrer.
And that would explain
the American presence here.
Now, you listen to me.
If von König ends up in Berlin
with information from Elke,
then God help us all.
Hold your position.
Don't let anyone leave.
You wait for me.
Sturmbannfuhrer.
Sturmbannfuhrer.
We just decoded
a message.
The US raid on Königsberg
is imminent.
It's right here.
I know where Königsberg is.
[Sites] Oh, shit.
- Russians.
- [Clarence] What the hell
are they doing here?
Same thing we are, boys.
Trying to control the future.
Seems our paths
have crossed again.
This time it's not
a coincidence, I'm sure.
Seems we might have
a mutual friend.
Adam von König.
Captain Evan Blackburn,
sir, OSS.
Pleasure to meet you, Captain.
This way.
[Aleksandr] What I need
to know is this:
is he a friend of the Allies, or
he is just a friend of the West?
My duty is to my wife
and our children,
and towards those
dedicated to the same
cause I'm dedicated to.
I understand your concerns,
Major Kulkov,
but the Americans guaranteed
my safety while Stalin
was preoccupied.
Not anymore.
So, then, you have to find
a way to work together.
East meets West.
All respect, sir, we've got
an extraction point to get to.
Captain, the assassination
failed. Hitler lives.
You see? That's why we can't
leave shit up to the Nazis.
I despise the Nazi party
as much as you or anyone else.
Always have.
At least the assassination
attempt took place,
and for history's sake,
everyone knows now
not all of Germany
followed such a man.
We know, sir.
That's why we're here.
[Adam] I've done whatever
was asked of me.
But with Hitler alive,
everything changed.
Everyone associated with Kreisau
will be sought out and executed.
And as long as I am
a fugitive of the SS,
my wife and my children
are in danger.
Hey, we risked our asses
coming out here to get you.
- You're going back with us.
- [Tolstoy] We saved your asses.
You would all be dead
if not for us.
Yeah, you saved our asses,
just before you nearly
got us all killed.
We were the ones who lost men.
I survived Stalingrad
with Bear and Viktor.
And if it weren't for your
commander, Bear and Viktor might
still be alive.
You're the ones who left us
there behind to die!
[Evan] Stop it! That's not true,
and you know it.
You know that's not true.
We provided cover fire for
an evac. You made a choice.
I chose to stay to kill
as many Nazis as I could.
I took this bullet
from my dead daughter's body.
She was only 16.
I keep it to remind me
of why do I put bullets in them.
This is what you came for.
This will stop the future
of the Nazi party.
All I know is in there.
[Elke] Krauss.
Operation Grey Wolf.
[explosion]
[soldiers shouting]
[gunfire]
Not back there! This way!
- It's Krauss.
- Shit! Stay back.
There's a rear exit over there.
The only way out of this
is for me to give myself up
while you escape.
- They'll kill you, sir.
- You must stop them.
You have to stop
Operation Grey Wolf.
[shouts in German]
Son of a bitch.
Sites, check for an exit.
You are a traitor
to the Fuhrer.
But not to my country,
like you.
Take me to Berlin.
Go, go, go!
Kill them all.
Go.
[gunfire]
Kulkov, give me the pack.
What's the shortest
timing pencil?
- How long is it?
- About 20 seconds, Cap.
That'll do. Let's go, let's go.
Pliers.
[Clarence] Keep your eye
on that tunnel opening.
[Sites] Come on, Captain!
Nineteen...
17...
Sites, go, go!
Go! Now, now!
Go, go, go!
Both, out of here!
Go!
[shouts, indistinct]
[soldiers shout in German]
Go!
Go!
Everybody in the truck.
[dramatic music]
[Elke] Von König
put it all together.
It's not just Krauss.
Albert Dussander,
one of the chemists who invented
the first nerve gas.
Josef Brunner, the banker who
helped Hitler hide stolen gold
in Swiss banks.
Maximilian Ritter,
senior engineer.
Gerhard Toht, one of Hitler's
closest advisers.
Great. It's just
a list of people.
No, no, no.
These are all leaders.
Exactly.
In every field necessary
to resurrect the Nazi party.
Jesus Christ.
And they're planning
their escape.
Bishop Grün. That's why Krauss
has been meeting with him.
He brokered a deal
with Argentina.
Arranged for the safe passage of
himself, Krauss, and the others
to Buenos Aires by submarine,
where they will be safe from
extradition.
So, while Germany's in flames,
these guys are just rats
off a sinking ship.
Only they're not drowning.
They're just relocating.
What you're holding
in your hands--
that's a list of names,
and it shows Hitler's legacy.
Yeah, but why would any country
let in the world's worst war
criminals?
Money, and lots of it.
And Argentina never
declared war on Germany.
So they'll have everything
that they need to start
all over again,
including enough gold bullion
to start a new Reich.
That's why Krauss
was moving the gold.
[Elke] The gold will be
delivered by train.
Krauss signed the order.
It's departing from Rastenburg
this afternoon
and arriving in Königsberg
tomorrow morning.
[Evan] That can't
be allowed to happen.
What do you say, Major?
Isn't this what the GRU
and the OSS were built for?
Actionable intelligence.
Look, I know you and I may have
started off a little sideways...
but stopping something like this
is what we were designed for,
be expected of us.
It's what's right.
Looks like our path are
the same once again, Captain.
Always were, Major.
- Still don't like it.
- Don't worry.
I'll be with you
every step of the way.
Yeah, well, that's exactly
what I don't like about it.
[Elke] Okay, there's a tunnel
four miles east of here.
We can use that
to board the train.
Okay, this is the spot.
Train's in ten minutes.
Let's get ready.
This whole mission's been
FUBAR from the start.
[Dixon] Yeah,
whatever that means.
We've teamed up with Soviets,
and here we are, about to jump
on a bloody Nazi train.
Like I said, FUBAR.
[Dixon] Yeah.
It's not polite to stare,
you know?
I'm sorry.
It's just that...
It's just
you're very beautiful.
You remind me of that actress,
Carole Lombard.
[Elke] Where did you say
you were from again?
From Knoxville.
Knoxville, Tennessee, ma'am.
Do you miss it?
Ah, it's...
Baseball. I miss that.
- You used to play?
- Yeah.
I played one season with the
Detroit Tigers, then I went
back to the minors.
That's when I enlisted.
Well, we'll make it
through this, and maybe
you get to play again.
[Aleksandr] I've heard of those.
Nice.
You crush the capsule,
and the acid inside
burns away at the wire.
- And releases the trigger?
- Yeah.
That one's a ten-minute delay.
I made some here that's shorter.
A souvenir?
Yeah, sure.
Train is coming.
- [Evan] Okay. Get ready.
- [Aleksandr] See you later.
Nice one.
You think we are crazy.
Remember, conceal your weapons.
Let's find the radio room so we
can request an extraction point.
Dix and Sites, you two lead.
Let's get ready.
Sites, catch it!
Here!
- [both grunt]
- Come on!
[train whistle blows]
[exhales deeply]
[knocking]
[grunting]
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
Would you, please?
Of course.
- Please, this way.
- Thank you.
Have a look.
- How much you think
is in there?
- Millions.
- Shall we take them now?
- No.
Ah. It's right here.
Yes, of course.
- Where?
- Number 41.
[radio static]
Let's go.
- Sites, what do you got?
- It's code, Captain. It's a
cipher.
- It's not that easy.
- [Evan] Let's just get it done.
Gentlemen, eyes up.
Thank you.
That was kind.
You're welcome.
I'm sorry.
I have to go, ma'am.
- [Krauss] Why are you
not on your post?
- [man] Sorry, sir.
I was helping a passenger
with a bag.
Slow him down.
[knocks on door]
It's go-time, boys.
Radio man's on the way back.
[Sites] I need more time,
Captain.
Clarence.
[Morse code beeping]
[Sites] England,
I got something.
Son of a bitch.
[screams]
Quieter next time, huh?
- Sites, anything?
- [Sites] I sent a transmission.
Right now, we can only
hope somebody's listening.
[O'Malley] Thank you.
Jesus H. Christ.
[knocking]
Yes.
- General.
- What is it, gunny?
We've received an encoded
message. It appears it's
from Blackburn.
What makes you say that?
"Request for extraction, stop.
1700 hours, stop.
Königsberg, stop.
Panta rhei, stop."
- And there was mention
of an airfield.
- An airfield.
Yes, sir. The message was
garbled. It came in over
a German frequency.
- Still trying to figure it out.
- I'll be damned.
- Maybe it is Blackburn.
- He's still alive.
You said Königsberg.
Königsberg. That is bad timing.
[steam hissing]
[Krauss shouts in German]
[Sites] This place is crawling
with Krauts, sir.
We cannot afford
to do anything crazy.
[Dixon] This whole plan's crazy.
Why doesn't he stay
with the gold?
[Elke] He must be
getting the others.
She's right.
We follow Krauss.
Maybe we can stop him
from getting to the port.
I stay with the gold.
You guys follow him.
We have no time. American
bombers have targeted the city.
Königsberg will be in flames.
- Is everyone here?
- [Grün] Yes,
Sturmbannfuhrer Krauss.
They're all here.
Everyone from the file.
[Krauss] Our submarine
is waiting at the dock.
The gold's being loaded now.
[ship's horn blows]
[soldier grunts]
Go, go, go.
Hey, I got the lower side.
[Tolstoy] Clear!
[Krauss] These cars will
take us across to the port.
Let's hurry.
We board in ten minutes.
- [knife slashes]
- [soldier groans]
[shouts]
[all shouting]
Ahh!
[groaning, speaks German]
[ship's horn blows]
[speaks German]
[shouts in German]
[shouting, gunfire in distance]
[German soldiers shouting]
[soldiers scream]
[gunfire continues outside]
Ahh!
[shouting continues]
[gunfire continues in distance]
[shouts in German]
[all shouting]
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
Krauss!
- Clarence?
- I'm fine.
Boys, let's go.
[alarm blares]
Heil Hitler!
- Is everything ready?
- Yes, Sturmbannfuhrer.
Gentlemen.
[aircraft approaching]
[shouts in German]
Tell the captain we leave
immediately.
[responds in German]
[dramatic music]
[shouts in German]
[dramatic music continues]
[German soldiers shouting]
[gunfire, shouting
becomes muffled]
[somber music]
Uh-uh.
[fighting sounds still muffled]
Where the hell is Kulkov?
Sarge, I'm out.
Captain, I got one mag left.
[somber music continues]
To you, Sturmbannfuhrer.
We live to fight
another day.
[explosion]
[aircraft zooming overhead]
Sites?
We gotta get the fuck
out of here, now!
[dramatic music]
[Sites] Clarence, come on!
Clarence?
Come on! Let's go!
Elke, now!
We can't just leave him here!
Sites, get her
the hell out of here now!
Son of a bitch.
- That was the whole backpack,
wasn't it?
- All of it.
[Evan] Hop in.
Let's roll!
[Evan] Hold on back there, boys.
We got a ride home to catch.
[Dixon] There she is.
Sites, looks like you're pretty
good with a German radio.
- Major.
- Captain.
- It's been an honor, sir.
- Honor's all mine.
Let's hope the politicians
don't mess it up.
- There's more than
just Krauss in here.
- It's a good read.
- You sure you're gonna be okay?
- I'll be fine.
We're going east.
You sure?
This is my home.
Godspeed.
Hell of a kid, huh?
[Reinhardt] Have we heard
back from the Russians?
Blackburn will
want to know.
Yes, sir. They very much
appreciate you
recognizing the contribution
of Major Kulkov and team,
as well as acknowledging
the work of Miss Elke Schroeder.
They will be decorated
accordingly.
You know, it's a...
- quite a remarkable thing,
isn't it?
- Hmm?
I mean, us working with
a Russian and a German?
Yeah.
O'Malley, when the war is over,
it's gonna be a very different
world.
Old dogs like you
and I are gonna have
to learn
to do things differently.
- Let's go.
- Yes, sir.
[somber music]
[men sing in German]
[music ends]
[instrumental music]
[music ends]
[distorted shouting]
[man] Pull in here.
[indistinct chattering]
No. Wait in the car, please.
[man 2] You there!
Pick this up, and back in line!
I said now!
We don't have time for this!
Get back to work!
Heil Hitler.
What is the reason
for this, Herzog?
This man refuses to work.
And is this true, kriegy?
The Geneva Convention
says we're required
to perform whatever
labors asked,
as long as it does not
support the war.
This is not allowed.
He brings up a very
interesting point, Herzog.
I'd say our British guest here
might even be a smarter man
than you.
What? What do you mean?
I mean that a smart man
would never break the rules,
nor commit treason.
What? I've never
committed treason.
No, Sturmbannfuhrer.
Are you telling me that
you've never sold
information
about a train shipment
to Polish resistance?
No, Sturmbannfuhrer. Never.
- Shoot this traitor.
- [Herzog] What?
I didn't betray anyone,
Sturmbannfuhrer.
Shoot him, or I shoot you.
- No!
- Do it.
- Come on.
- [Herzog whimpers]
[gun clicks]
Very good.
For the Geneva Convention.
You sold us out, Herzog.
No!
Get back to work.
[man shouts in German]
[man shouting]
Keep it up! Keep it up!
Let's go! Come on!
Come on! Let's go! Let's go!
[dramatic music]
[music on radio plays, muffled]
[man] Evan.
General Reinhardt,
Master Guns O'Malley.
Captain.
Oh, stand easy, Captain.
No need for formality.
So, have you heard
from your family lately?
Everything well there?
- They'd prefer me home, sir.
- I'm sure they would.
And that boy of yours--
Tell me his name again.
- It's Weston, sir.
- Weston.
He's taking very good care of
his mother since I've been gone.
No surprise there, considering
his dad is the best Jedburgh
commander we've got.
I've got some red
in my ledger, sir.
Quit being so hard on yourself.
This is a war.
Unfortunately, people die.
I've seen my fair share.
I understand, Sergeant.
Captain, join me.
The Soviet army is tearing up
German defenses
up and down Eastern Europe.
They're knocking
on the very door of Warsaw
even as we speak,
which is,
to speak quite frankly,
a matter of some concern.
You will recall that in '39,
Hitler and Stalin
signed a nonaggression pact.
- Sir.
- When this war is over,
the future of Germany, Europe,
hell, the whole world--
it's gonna be in the hands of
the US and Great Britain
and, unfortunately,
the Soviet Union.
Now, we appreciate the fact
that they are going to be
part of the post-war
peace process.
But we are going to ensure
that we have maximum leverage.
- All respect, sir, I'm a Jed.
- We know.
His name's Adam von König.
He's a lieutenant colonel
in the Wehrmacht.
We need you to drop in, grab
him, and bring him back to us.
[Evan] Nazi.
[O'Malley] Von König and some
high-ranking German officials--
a group called
the Kreisau Circle--
have an operation called
Valkyrie that they're putting
in motion tomorrow
to overthrow
the German government.
Won't Hitler have something
to say about that, sir?
Not if he's dead.
Adolf Hitler will be
assassinated at noon tomorrow
as Operation Valkyrie
is set in motion.
At that time, all government
ministries, radio stations,
telephone switchboards will be
seized by the reserve army.
By end of day tomorrow,
Germany will have a new
government.
And if they're to be
Western-friendly, we need to
make contact with von König
as quickly as we can
to ensure his safety.
That's because we are certain
that he is an asset
with actionable intelligence
that extends beyond Valkyrie.
Now, that intelligence is not
only about post-war Europe,
but we believe a potential
future of the Nazi party.
Captain, we want von König
back here alive.
And we can't afford him
to fall into the hands
of the Russians.
Sir.
Sergeant O'Malley
will continue
the briefing
as you gather your team.
You're dismissed.
Evan...
just one more big push,
then you go on home
to your family.
Sir.
I can't believe they're dropping
us into Kraut territory
to extract a goddamn Nazi.
Not a Nazi, Sites.
Von König is actually part of
an underground resistance
movement
called the Kreisau Circle.
Those are the sons of bitches
that are gonna take down
the Nazi party.
We're gonna make sure
that shit actually happens.
Yeah. If things go
as planned and Hitler's
killed by lunch tomorrow,
then that bloke's
a bloody hero in my book.
Still a fucking Nazi.
How long to the DZ?
I think it's another
ten minutes or so.
The pilot said it's gonna
get a little bit bumpy,
so you might want to hold on.
You look nervous, soldier.
You all right?
Well, I'm a little
bit nervous.
This is only my second mission.
I'm usually behind a desk.
Nothing to worry about.
We do this all the...
[grunts]
Yeah, grab the radio!
- Jesus Christ!
- Get the radio!
- Can you fly this thing?
- No!
Put this on now!
Strap in! Get ready to bail!
Two on the arms,
one around the waist.
- We can't jump!
It ain't safe, Cap!
- We don't have a choice!
Make this as tight as it'll go!
- On the line!
- Do it!
- Hook the end!
- Go!
Oh, God.
Go!
Go!
[grunts]
Ohh... [groaning]
[panting]
[explosions]
[grunting]
[sharp exhale]
[panting]
[distant shouting]
Shit.
- Clarence!
- [Clarence] Yes, Captain?
- You all right?
- [Clarence] Yes, sir.
Get that chute off.
We gotta bury everything.
- Jacket too.
- [man] Aye-aye.
[shouts]
[man shouts in German]
[both grunt]
[fighting sounds]
[panting]
Thanks, England.
We're lucky you
didn't shoot, Sites.
We'd have had Nazis
swarming all over us down here.
I'll start digging.
I'll take watch.
My best guess is we had
about ten minutes of flight
time left to the drop zone.
Find me some landmarks,
a location, something.
- Tell me where the hell we are.
- Captain, I'm not even supposed
to be here.
- Well, we gotta make due.
- Captain, I'm Private First
Class.
I barely know how to shoot.
I only completed basic training.
Before the war,
I'd never killed a man.
First time for everything.
Come on. Let's find the others.
[indistinct arguing]
Where was that?
Not far.
Let's move.
[clicks once]
[two clicks returned]
- [Evan] Okay. It's them.
- Where the fuck are we?
[Evan] Sites,
get on the radio.
Go to London.
Tell them our situation.
I think we're about
54 miles north of the DZ.
Puts us in a forest
outside of Wilcze.
You know how
to use this, right?
I've only ever shot
a target, sir.
Whatever starts shooting at you,
that's your new target.
It's like being on the diamond.
Just throw strikes.
What's that?
That's you, right?
You used to play in the Majors?
Yeah, but that was a long time
ago, and just for a little bit.
Just like he said,
it's your new strike zone.
Aim for the center of the chest.
You got a better opportunity to
hit the target.
Yes, sir.
Hey, Captain,
this seems damaged.
- Nothing but static.
- We gotta fix it, buddy.
Crash site's gotta be this way.
Let's move.
Hey, Clarence, put this on.
[Evan] We gotta get there
before the Germans do.
Let's pray there's something
we can salvage.
[dramatic music]
[indistinct shouting]
Oh, shit.
So much for salvaging our gear.
Well, we'll just have
to make the rendezvous
with what we've got.
My guess is we're two days,
day and a half, to Koronowo
if we hustle.
We'll be late,
but we'll get there.
Whatever gear you got left,
make sure it's secure.
Nothing rattles, nothing shines.
We've got a hell of a long walk,
gentlemen.
[Reinhardt] Yes?
- Sir.
- What is it?
Captain Blackburn's plane,
sir. It hasn't returned.
- Radio contact?
- Not since it entered
Prussian airspace.
We received reports
of significant flak fire.
Russian field commanders
to the east confirmed.
It doesn't sound promising.
Any word from
von König's people?
No.
Well.
Well...
No. I'm betting that
Blackburn's got a nose on him.
If they made it off the plane,
he's gonna find a way.
He is a tough cookie.
Sergeant, when there's
no plan "B", well, that
leaves you with just hope.
Eyes on the stars. Understand?
- Yes, sir.
- Good.
- That'll be all.
- Yes, sir.
[door opens]
[dramatic music]
[both shouting
in foreign language]
[all shouting]
[dramatic music continues]
[indistinct chatter]
[woman sings in German
to soft music]
[man] Hitler--
he's been living in fear,
afraid his own people
were plotting against him.
Ironically, that's the
only thing he may actually
have right.
The walls of the empire
are crumbling,
Sturmbannfuhrer Krauss,
but Germany
has a friend in Argentina.
Yes, but an expensive one.
Any news from Berlin,
Sturmbannfuhrer?
Yes. The reserve army
has been mobilized.
And the Fuhrer?
No word yet.
If he's dead,
there will be chaos.
And what if he's alive?
Why don't you wait for me
in my office, please?
- We have a busy day ahead.
- Of course.
[Krauss] This week, we suffered
the heaviest bombing
since beginning of
combat operations.
[woman] Would you like some tea?
The Russians are closing
in on the Baltic.
Königsberg will fall.
And without a port,
we have nothing.
The time is now.
[fly buzzing]
Adolf Hitler dead.
Halle-fucking-lujah.
[man] I'm surprised it's
taken us this long. Fucking
master race, my ass.
[Sites] Yeah. Just would've been
nice if one of the good guys had
taken him out, you know?
They are the good guys, Sites.
They just happen to be German.
Exactly.
We're on the front lines
of history right now, fellas.
I would've never left Indiana
if it weren't for this.
Killing Nazis was my ticket.
Ooh, down, down, down.
[men talking loudly in German]
[bullet whizzing past]
Sites, cover the left flank!
Gun up, eyes open, buddy.
Why the fuck are they shooting
at us? We're civilians, right?
We're civilians
with guns!
That makes us
not so civil.
How's that
for fucking civil?
- [Evan] Sites?
- Yeah!
- You see the eight?
- Copy!
- I'm going! You cover!
- Cover fire!
Captain!
[shouts in German]
Grenade!
[men shout]
[dramatic music]
- Fuck! I'm out!
- Me too!
[Evan shouts]
[both grunting]
[man groans]
Captain!
[soldiers shouting in German]
[soldier cocks gun]
Move away from the gun.
Move away,
or I will kill him!
[panting]
[man] You Yankees were on
the plane that went down, no?
Where are your uniforms?
What are you doing in Prussia?
We're on a mail run with medical
supplies from the Red Cross.
Headed to a POW camp in Poland.
Hey, relax, all right, chief?
[groaning]
What is your mission?
Well, we were gonna take a quick
jaunt through wine country,
grab a couple of beers in
Belgium, and move on to...
[grunts]
[spits]
What are you doing
in East Prussia?
What he said.
[vehicle approaching]
Heil Hitler!
[man responds in German]
You have prisoners, I see.
Three Americans
and a Tommy, yes.
From the plane
that went down?
I believe so, yes.
But they are not talking. Yet.
"The good people
in the world
are far from being
satisfied with each other,
and my arms are
the best peacemaker."
So you heard of
Samuel Colt, huh?
- One of theirs?
- [soldier] It was.
You have Soviets too?
Yes, a Russian and a Polack.
We caught them rigging the train
tracks to Rastenburg.
Then bring them to me.
[man speaks foreign language]
It's true, what they say,
isn't it?
What?
There is no such thing
as a smart Polack.
[grunts]
Your interrogation
techniques are obviously
less effective than mine.
If we kill them,
we lose what they know.
Kill one.
Perhaps the others will talk.
[stammers]
Come on.
You look them in the eyes,
Clarence. They'll remember
you that way.
On my signal.
Did you see the man I came with?
Kill all the others.
[dramatic music]
[shouts in foreign language]
[man groaning]
- Who's this guy?
- Yeah, no shit.
Thank you.
I wasn't helping you.
Just trying to get
an extra gun to get my men back.
Nice shot.
[in foreign language]
Russians.
[in foreign language]
Captain Evan Blackburn, OSS.
Major Aleksandr Kulkov, GRU.
[Sites] What's GRU?
Unconventional warfare,
deep reconnaissance, sabotage.
Soviet version of us,
basically.
Nice uniforms.
- GRU-issued?
- Yeah. What about you?
It's a little early
for Oktoberfest, no?
No, we're just getting
an early start,
seeing as that beer is
the only thing German we like.
Come on. The truth.
Why you are here?
Plane got shot down.
We dropped in to help
out local resistance.
Those were our orders too.
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
We're working with Polish AK
to take back German-held cities.
Major, I overheard the Germans
say your two men
were caught trying to sabotage
a train to Rastenburg.
I don't call that being a part
of Poland's Operation Tempest.
Tempest may be over.
Did you see there was an attempt
on Hitler's life today?
- What do you mean, "attempt"?
- That's all I know, Captain.
[in foreign language]
Shit!
This thing's shot to shit, sir.
You should try using
cup and string.
How about he gives it
a try anyway, eh, Ivan?
My name--
Tolstoy, Yevgeny Mikhailovich.
Sure it is.
- It's done.
- Major.
Do you have a radio
we could use?
The radio I have is not useful
to you, Captain,
unless you'd like to speak
directly to Tovarishch Stalin.
[dogs barking]
We'll head north.
There is a safe house
two miles from here.
You're more than welcome
to come with us, Captain.
Let's gather whatever supplies
you have left. Let's move.
We can't go with them, Cap.
We don't have a radio
or rations or much ammo.
- We don't have a choice, Dixon.
- But, Cap,
I thought this whole mission was
to try and get this König guy
before the Russians could.
Now we're gonna
team up with them?
We're not teaming up with
anybody. They just happen
to be moving
the same direction we are.
Besides, they're not just
here to blow up a train.
There's something
far bigger going on.
[indistinct chatter]
How's the packing coming?
It's a lot with
such short notice.
Yes, but
unfortunately,
I have other affairs elsewhere
I must now get into order.
For country.
For the Aryan race.
Is the news
from Berlin true?
- Is the Fuhrer dead?
- I don't know, and frankly,
I don't care.
This war is lost anyway.
The Fuhrer once gave us promise
of world domination,
but even he's seen
the writing on the wall.
I believe we all have.
My dear Elke...
I'm afraid our time here
has come to an end.
Will your wife
be traveling with you?
When the time comes, yes.
Take off that dress.
What?
I'm still your boss,
Fraulein Schroeder,
and you are still
my secretary.
- Do it!
- [gasps]
But I won't see you again
after tonight?
Well, then, we have very little
time to waste, do we?
Keep going.
Can't you at least tell me
where you're going?
Why are you so curious?
Maybe I just want to know
how I can see you again.
You take those off,
and maybe I will tell you.
You first.
Rastenburg.
[knocking on door, door opens]
[speaks German]
What is it?
The bishop wants
to speak with you.
He says it's urgent.
[Krauss] Von König.
[man] Turns out von König
is part of Kreisau Circle.
I wish we had more time.
Don't you?
Good-bye, Elke.
[door closes]
[Aleksandr] The shovel
is next to the door.
A sign of safety.
Wait! That's Oskar.
That's his place.
Why the fuck is Oskar
still pointing a gun at me?
Yeah, I thought you said
this was a safe house, Red.
- Who the hell are these people?
- [Aleksandr] OSS.
We fell a bit short
of our drop, sir.
I see.
Come in.
[music on radio]
[Oskar] Sasha...
Let's hope so.
Hey, listen, Captain.
If there's one thing I learned
working for Spot,
it's never
trust a Russian.
[Clarence] Who's Spot?
He controls the East End
bookmaking rackets
back in London.
[Clarence] So you were
a gangster?
How does a gangster
make the Jeds?
Well, I prefer to think of
myself as a problem-solver,
really.
And these guys--
they're a major fucking problem.
Nothing happens
the way we expect it.
I am sure our American friends
know that.
Take a deep breath.
More coffee?
Appreciate it, sir.
What you looking at, Moscow?
I'm from Siberia.
And you are looking at me.
- Where are we?
- 30 kilometers west of
Koronowo.
Where would you like to be,
Captain?
Well, given the option, I'm sure
we'd all rather be at home with
our families.
You said you're here
to help local resistance?
Who's your contact?
Oskar Halminski here--
he is Polish resistance.
Maybe he can help.
We appreciate the offer, sir,
and we're indebted to you,
Major,
but I have a mission that
I'm not at liberty to discuss.
- I'm sure you understand that.
- And that mission be what,
really?
When I mentioned there'd been
an attempt on Hitler's life,
you didn't seem that surprised.
I think you knew about it
before you dropped in here.
I think that's why you
were dropped in here
in the first place.
Your mission, Captain.
It's classified, Major.
You haven't been truthful to me,
Captain.
[Evan] And you haven't been
truthful with me, Major.
You're not here just to help
Polish resistance, are you?
And you're certainly not here
to blow up a fucking train.
[Dixon] Bloody Russians.
I knew it.
What was that, Red?
I'm sorry,
- but it sounds like you're
fucking choking when you talk.
- Dix!
- You know, that's one ugly
fucking language you got.
- [Evan] Dixon!
I want to know why
you were sent here, Captain.
Now, just hold on a second
there, all right, chief?
- You ain't in charge here.
- Neither are you.
- [Evan] Hey!
- Put your fucking guns down!
Put your gun down.
[Oskar] No, no. Wait, wait.
This is Elke.
She's with me.
Gentlemen, we're here to kill
Nazis, not each other.
Lower your weapons.
We're on the same side.
Are we?
We're good.
Who are they?
These are the Americans.
They're OSS.
And on this side is the Russian
team, Major Sasha Kulkov.
[Evan]
Who is that?
[Oskar] Everyone,
this is Elke Schroeder.
She and I have been working
closely for a long time.
She's a member
of the Kreisau Circle.
Oh, great.
Another fucking Nazi.
I'm German, not Nazi.
[Evan] So you're not just
here for Operation Tempest.
So why don't you tell me why
they would be moving such high
amounts of gold?
We don't know.
I've overheard mention of
an Operation Grey Wolf.
My commander doesn't
trust me with much.
He's been moving millions
in bullion.
At first, we thought
it was for an offensive,
but now it doesn't seem so.
Whatever it is, Valkyrie has
only accelerated the time line
and sent everyone scrambling.
[Oskar] What about Hitler?
Is he dead?
Nobody seems to know.
General Fellgiebel
said he's alive.
Von Stauffenberg
swore he was dead.
Nobody knows what to believe.
Either way,
Krauss is worried.
- Who's Krauss?
- The SS commander I work for.
Sturmbannfuhrer Karl Krauss,
senior officer
of the Polish Gestapo.
He doesn't seem to care
about Hitler either way,
which is even more troubling.
He's leaving for Rastenburg
tomorrow.
- What's in Rastenburg?
- Something to do with
Grey Wolf.
[vehicle approaching]
[Oskar] Germans.
[Elke] They must have
followed me here.
Everybody, upstairs.
What is the meaning of this?
An American plane crashed
not far from here.
It's believed
the men from it have survived.
Well, I haven't seen anyone.
Really? Good.
What is your relationship
with Elke Schroeder,
Mr. Halminski?
I don't know anyone
with that name.
I followed her here.
I know she's here.
She is not.
Well...
then you won't
mind me making sure?
No.
'Course not.
I'm here.
I never trusted you.
What are you doing here?
The better question is,
what are you?
Does Krauss know you're here?
[officer] How dare you.
You're blinding Krauss with your
tits, but you don't blind me.
Oskar is a friend
of my father's, Visser.
I've known him
since I was a child.
Well, why lie about
knowing her earlier, then?
You scare people,
coming in like this.
Elke helps me on the farm.
I can't milk cows with one hand.
What else are you
hiding out there?
- Nothing.
- [Elke] There's nothing else
to hide.
- You're in the wrong place.
- It's just me.
Really?
[Elke] Yes.
Good.
Go. Check.
[man in German on radio]
[Hitler in German]
No, don't.
No.
Viktor!
Dixon, to the truck!
Out, now!
Sites, go, go!
Come on! Come on!
Come on, Captain!
[soldier shouts in German]
- [no audio]
- [dramatic music]
- Kulkov!
- Captain!
Go! Just go!
[chaotic shouting]
Hold on!
Shit! Come on, Dixon!
What about the Russians?
I don't know.
We provided an exit.
Son of a bitch turned it down.
God help them.
Dix, what's going on?
[Dixon] I don't know!
I'm losing power!
- It's fucked.
- [Sites] Is it done?
- [Dixon] Yeah, it's fucked!
- [Sites] All right.
Everybody out.
Hold here.
Captain, what the hell?
What's with the Russians
back there? They okay?
It's their option to stay.
Clearly, our objectives
aren't the same.
- Guys are fucking crazy.
- Yeah, I never met any that
weren't.
Okay. We need to go to Koronowo.
Clarence, where's the map?
The salt mines of Koronowo?
You're here for von König,
aren't you?
- Yeah. Do you know where he is?
- He is where you say.
Look, I'm Kreisau,
like von König.
I have nothing to hide from you,
and you have nothing
you need to hide from me.
We can trust each other.
So what do we do now, then, Cap?
- We stay on mission.
- [Dixon] If Hitler's not dead,
there won't be any new
government to try and influence.
He's right, sir.
This guy could be useless
to everybody now.
König risked everything
going to the Allies
with this information.
We're not turning
our backs on him now.
You have to understand,
with a failed attempt
on Hitler's life,
von König will be executed
the moment they find him.
The Gestapo will be searching
for all of us right now.
König stays the mission.
It's our obligation
to get him and whatever
he knows to London safely.
- Let's move.
- But how?
We've got no radio.
We've got no way
of contacting anyone.
Captain, this whole mission
was based around Valkyrie's
success.
[Evan] You're wrong, Dixon.
It's far bigger than that.
Now, I wasn't given details,
but apparently
he's in possession of something
far more important
than even he is.
So until we hear otherwise,
we stay on orders.
Captain, you said you wanted
to get back home,
and going after König
ain't the shortest distance
between here and there.
I do want to get home, Dix.
I don't like this
any more than you do.
In fact, I'm scared shitless.
I want to see my boy again.
But occasionally,
you're presented with something
that just might be a little more
important than what you're
afraid of.
Understood.
Good.
Be looking to you for directions
once we get close.
Let's move.
[dramatic music]
Okay, topside,
and we cross this bridge.
If this is still accurate,
that road should take us
straight to the mine.
- Is that correct?
- It will.
Okay, Sites, Dix, clear a path.
Copy.
Are you okay?
It's Oskar.
He knew my father.
They were friends
before the war.
He took me under his wing.
He treated like his own.
I understand.
We've lost a lot
in this war.
[whistles]
[Evan] Okay. Time to move.
[whispers] Sites, that side.
Stop!
Stop!
[speaks foreign language]
Let's go. Guns down.
What the hell'd you
say to them, Captain?
The Kreisau Circle password
for Valkyrie-- "panta rhei."
It means "all is in flux"
in Greek.
I'll say.
You are late.
[speaks German]
[indistinct chatter]
Be advised, you're not
our first visitors this morning.
Von König is a very popular man.
Where are you exactly?
[Visser] The north entrance
of the salt mine.
Elke must be Kreisau Circle,
and I may have found their
stronghold.
- Are you sure?
- It's heavily guarded.
I would certainly need
reinforcements to engage.
- Are you on your way,
Sturmbannfuhrer?
- Yes.
I'm gathering my men.
We are about to leave.
Now, if you have found
the Circle's stronghold,
that would mean von König
must be there as well.
Yes, Sturmbannfuhrer.
And that would explain
the American presence here.
Now, you listen to me.
If von König ends up in Berlin
with information from Elke,
then God help us all.
Hold your position.
Don't let anyone leave.
You wait for me.
Sturmbannfuhrer.
Sturmbannfuhrer.
We just decoded
a message.
The US raid on Königsberg
is imminent.
It's right here.
I know where Königsberg is.
[Sites] Oh, shit.
- Russians.
- [Clarence] What the hell
are they doing here?
Same thing we are, boys.
Trying to control the future.
Seems our paths
have crossed again.
This time it's not
a coincidence, I'm sure.
Seems we might have
a mutual friend.
Adam von König.
Captain Evan Blackburn,
sir, OSS.
Pleasure to meet you, Captain.
This way.
[Aleksandr] What I need
to know is this:
is he a friend of the Allies, or
he is just a friend of the West?
My duty is to my wife
and our children,
and towards those
dedicated to the same
cause I'm dedicated to.
I understand your concerns,
Major Kulkov,
but the Americans guaranteed
my safety while Stalin
was preoccupied.
Not anymore.
So, then, you have to find
a way to work together.
East meets West.
All respect, sir, we've got
an extraction point to get to.
Captain, the assassination
failed. Hitler lives.
You see? That's why we can't
leave shit up to the Nazis.
I despise the Nazi party
as much as you or anyone else.
Always have.
At least the assassination
attempt took place,
and for history's sake,
everyone knows now
not all of Germany
followed such a man.
We know, sir.
That's why we're here.
[Adam] I've done whatever
was asked of me.
But with Hitler alive,
everything changed.
Everyone associated with Kreisau
will be sought out and executed.
And as long as I am
a fugitive of the SS,
my wife and my children
are in danger.
Hey, we risked our asses
coming out here to get you.
- You're going back with us.
- [Tolstoy] We saved your asses.
You would all be dead
if not for us.
Yeah, you saved our asses,
just before you nearly
got us all killed.
We were the ones who lost men.
I survived Stalingrad
with Bear and Viktor.
And if it weren't for your
commander, Bear and Viktor might
still be alive.
You're the ones who left us
there behind to die!
[Evan] Stop it! That's not true,
and you know it.
You know that's not true.
We provided cover fire for
an evac. You made a choice.
I chose to stay to kill
as many Nazis as I could.
I took this bullet
from my dead daughter's body.
She was only 16.
I keep it to remind me
of why do I put bullets in them.
This is what you came for.
This will stop the future
of the Nazi party.
All I know is in there.
[Elke] Krauss.
Operation Grey Wolf.
[explosion]
[soldiers shouting]
[gunfire]
Not back there! This way!
- It's Krauss.
- Shit! Stay back.
There's a rear exit over there.
The only way out of this
is for me to give myself up
while you escape.
- They'll kill you, sir.
- You must stop them.
You have to stop
Operation Grey Wolf.
[shouts in German]
Son of a bitch.
Sites, check for an exit.
You are a traitor
to the Fuhrer.
But not to my country,
like you.
Take me to Berlin.
Go, go, go!
Kill them all.
Go.
[gunfire]
Kulkov, give me the pack.
What's the shortest
timing pencil?
- How long is it?
- About 20 seconds, Cap.
That'll do. Let's go, let's go.
Pliers.
[Clarence] Keep your eye
on that tunnel opening.
[Sites] Come on, Captain!
Nineteen...
17...
Sites, go, go!
Go! Now, now!
Go, go, go!
Both, out of here!
Go!
[shouts, indistinct]
[soldiers shout in German]
Go!
Go!
Everybody in the truck.
[dramatic music]
[Elke] Von König
put it all together.
It's not just Krauss.
Albert Dussander,
one of the chemists who invented
the first nerve gas.
Josef Brunner, the banker who
helped Hitler hide stolen gold
in Swiss banks.
Maximilian Ritter,
senior engineer.
Gerhard Toht, one of Hitler's
closest advisers.
Great. It's just
a list of people.
No, no, no.
These are all leaders.
Exactly.
In every field necessary
to resurrect the Nazi party.
Jesus Christ.
And they're planning
their escape.
Bishop Grün. That's why Krauss
has been meeting with him.
He brokered a deal
with Argentina.
Arranged for the safe passage of
himself, Krauss, and the others
to Buenos Aires by submarine,
where they will be safe from
extradition.
So, while Germany's in flames,
these guys are just rats
off a sinking ship.
Only they're not drowning.
They're just relocating.
What you're holding
in your hands--
that's a list of names,
and it shows Hitler's legacy.
Yeah, but why would any country
let in the world's worst war
criminals?
Money, and lots of it.
And Argentina never
declared war on Germany.
So they'll have everything
that they need to start
all over again,
including enough gold bullion
to start a new Reich.
That's why Krauss
was moving the gold.
[Elke] The gold will be
delivered by train.
Krauss signed the order.
It's departing from Rastenburg
this afternoon
and arriving in Königsberg
tomorrow morning.
[Evan] That can't
be allowed to happen.
What do you say, Major?
Isn't this what the GRU
and the OSS were built for?
Actionable intelligence.
Look, I know you and I may have
started off a little sideways...
but stopping something like this
is what we were designed for,
be expected of us.
It's what's right.
Looks like our path are
the same once again, Captain.
Always were, Major.
- Still don't like it.
- Don't worry.
I'll be with you
every step of the way.
Yeah, well, that's exactly
what I don't like about it.
[Elke] Okay, there's a tunnel
four miles east of here.
We can use that
to board the train.
Okay, this is the spot.
Train's in ten minutes.
Let's get ready.
This whole mission's been
FUBAR from the start.
[Dixon] Yeah,
whatever that means.
We've teamed up with Soviets,
and here we are, about to jump
on a bloody Nazi train.
Like I said, FUBAR.
[Dixon] Yeah.
It's not polite to stare,
you know?
I'm sorry.
It's just that...
It's just
you're very beautiful.
You remind me of that actress,
Carole Lombard.
[Elke] Where did you say
you were from again?
From Knoxville.
Knoxville, Tennessee, ma'am.
Do you miss it?
Ah, it's...
Baseball. I miss that.
- You used to play?
- Yeah.
I played one season with the
Detroit Tigers, then I went
back to the minors.
That's when I enlisted.
Well, we'll make it
through this, and maybe
you get to play again.
[Aleksandr] I've heard of those.
Nice.
You crush the capsule,
and the acid inside
burns away at the wire.
- And releases the trigger?
- Yeah.
That one's a ten-minute delay.
I made some here that's shorter.
A souvenir?
Yeah, sure.
Train is coming.
- [Evan] Okay. Get ready.
- [Aleksandr] See you later.
Nice one.
You think we are crazy.
Remember, conceal your weapons.
Let's find the radio room so we
can request an extraction point.
Dix and Sites, you two lead.
Let's get ready.
Sites, catch it!
Here!
- [both grunt]
- Come on!
[train whistle blows]
[exhales deeply]
[knocking]
[grunting]
- Excuse me.
- Yes?
Would you, please?
Of course.
- Please, this way.
- Thank you.
Have a look.
- How much you think
is in there?
- Millions.
- Shall we take them now?
- No.
Ah. It's right here.
Yes, of course.
- Where?
- Number 41.
[radio static]
Let's go.
- Sites, what do you got?
- It's code, Captain. It's a
cipher.
- It's not that easy.
- [Evan] Let's just get it done.
Gentlemen, eyes up.
Thank you.
That was kind.
You're welcome.
I'm sorry.
I have to go, ma'am.
- [Krauss] Why are you
not on your post?
- [man] Sorry, sir.
I was helping a passenger
with a bag.
Slow him down.
[knocks on door]
It's go-time, boys.
Radio man's on the way back.
[Sites] I need more time,
Captain.
Clarence.
[Morse code beeping]
[Sites] England,
I got something.
Son of a bitch.
[screams]
Quieter next time, huh?
- Sites, anything?
- [Sites] I sent a transmission.
Right now, we can only
hope somebody's listening.
[O'Malley] Thank you.
Jesus H. Christ.
[knocking]
Yes.
- General.
- What is it, gunny?
We've received an encoded
message. It appears it's
from Blackburn.
What makes you say that?
"Request for extraction, stop.
1700 hours, stop.
Königsberg, stop.
Panta rhei, stop."
- And there was mention
of an airfield.
- An airfield.
Yes, sir. The message was
garbled. It came in over
a German frequency.
- Still trying to figure it out.
- I'll be damned.
- Maybe it is Blackburn.
- He's still alive.
You said Königsberg.
Königsberg. That is bad timing.
[steam hissing]
[Krauss shouts in German]
[Sites] This place is crawling
with Krauts, sir.
We cannot afford
to do anything crazy.
[Dixon] This whole plan's crazy.
Why doesn't he stay
with the gold?
[Elke] He must be
getting the others.
She's right.
We follow Krauss.
Maybe we can stop him
from getting to the port.
I stay with the gold.
You guys follow him.
We have no time. American
bombers have targeted the city.
Königsberg will be in flames.
- Is everyone here?
- [Grün] Yes,
Sturmbannfuhrer Krauss.
They're all here.
Everyone from the file.
[Krauss] Our submarine
is waiting at the dock.
The gold's being loaded now.
[ship's horn blows]
[soldier grunts]
Go, go, go.
Hey, I got the lower side.
[Tolstoy] Clear!
[Krauss] These cars will
take us across to the port.
Let's hurry.
We board in ten minutes.
- [knife slashes]
- [soldier groans]
[shouts]
[all shouting]
Ahh!
[groaning, speaks German]
[ship's horn blows]
[speaks German]
[shouts in German]
[shouting, gunfire in distance]
[German soldiers shouting]
[soldiers scream]
[gunfire continues outside]
Ahh!
[shouting continues]
[gunfire continues in distance]
[shouts in German]
[all shouting]
- Are you okay?
- I'm fine.
Krauss!
- Clarence?
- I'm fine.
Boys, let's go.
[alarm blares]
Heil Hitler!
- Is everything ready?
- Yes, Sturmbannfuhrer.
Gentlemen.
[aircraft approaching]
[shouts in German]
Tell the captain we leave
immediately.
[responds in German]
[dramatic music]
[shouts in German]
[dramatic music continues]
[German soldiers shouting]
[gunfire, shouting
becomes muffled]
[somber music]
Uh-uh.
[fighting sounds still muffled]
Where the hell is Kulkov?
Sarge, I'm out.
Captain, I got one mag left.
[somber music continues]
To you, Sturmbannfuhrer.
We live to fight
another day.
[explosion]
[aircraft zooming overhead]
Sites?
We gotta get the fuck
out of here, now!
[dramatic music]
[Sites] Clarence, come on!
Clarence?
Come on! Let's go!
Elke, now!
We can't just leave him here!
Sites, get her
the hell out of here now!
Son of a bitch.
- That was the whole backpack,
wasn't it?
- All of it.
[Evan] Hop in.
Let's roll!
[Evan] Hold on back there, boys.
We got a ride home to catch.
[Dixon] There she is.
Sites, looks like you're pretty
good with a German radio.
- Major.
- Captain.
- It's been an honor, sir.
- Honor's all mine.
Let's hope the politicians
don't mess it up.
- There's more than
just Krauss in here.
- It's a good read.
- You sure you're gonna be okay?
- I'll be fine.
We're going east.
You sure?
This is my home.
Godspeed.
Hell of a kid, huh?
[Reinhardt] Have we heard
back from the Russians?
Blackburn will
want to know.
Yes, sir. They very much
appreciate you
recognizing the contribution
of Major Kulkov and team,
as well as acknowledging
the work of Miss Elke Schroeder.
They will be decorated
accordingly.
You know, it's a...
- quite a remarkable thing,
isn't it?
- Hmm?
I mean, us working with
a Russian and a German?
Yeah.
O'Malley, when the war is over,
it's gonna be a very different
world.
Old dogs like you
and I are gonna have
to learn
to do things differently.
- Let's go.
- Yes, sir.
