Das Boot (2018–…): Season 2, Episode 4 - Die Würfel sind gefallen - full transcript

We're received orders that we
have something to catch.

One of our very own.

U-822.

I believe someone sabotaged
the radio.

Frank is the only one who'd know
how to do something like this.

Your constant denial is
unbecoming of someone wanting

German Navy Petty Officer!

Next, I walk into that room and
I tell them exactly who you are.

You are looking
for a periscope.

I could kiss ya!

If you don't tell us anything,
I'll have to ask my colleague



to make you talk

The police interrogate!
Not kill!

- Forster doesn't care!
- This is France!

- Ruth!
- Ruth, stop!

As long as he's there,
we're safe.

And for now, Elias can get better.
Trust me!

Is this what you're looking for?

One measure,
at the end of your shift.

And Senior Mechanic Grothe here
is responsible for the drink rations.

What's our target?
The White House?

- He's sweet.
- Can't blame him.

- You are...
- I am what?

Somewhere over there is America.

America...



My aunt is in America.

Emigrated just before the war.

She wanted a career like Dietrich.

Dietrich. What an actress.

"The Blue Angel".

My wife really enjoyed that movie.

And what great legs Dietrich had.

My aunts' weren't bad either.

When I was a little kid,
she used to put me on her lap,

even though I was a bit
too big for that,

and then she'd stroke my knee.

My God,
I felt an itch between my legs.

Women.

What does your aunt do now?

No idea.

Haven't heard from her in ages.

I get it.

What can you do, huh?

She chose the wrong side.

One day, we'll step on
American soil, then

everything will change.

That would really be something, huh.

America?

I thought so.

How do you know this?

From a message for our SS "cargo".

When the radio was still working.

What do they want there?
Look for Winnetou?

Teddy Suhren
told me in the barracks

how he and his men
were walking around New York.

In uniform.
Before the war.

Not my thing.

Nor is the Negro music that
the CO lets you play.

Filthy pigs.

Shouldn't you be fixing
the radio, Strasser?

Aye-Aye, Sir.

Kids,
here's something to eat.

Do you want some cheese?

- Here you go, Elias.
- I'm not hungry.

Are you sure?

Well?

Ruth, can you try to get your brother
to eat and look after him for a moment?

Thank you.

He's getting worse.
He needs a doctor.

- I'll go to the village.
- I'll go.

- No. It's too dangerous.
- It's as dangerous for you.

Don't be crazy.

You're helping Jews.

Do you want to end up hanging
from a tree as well?

You've two small children
and I don't have any.

So I'll go,
and you stay here with them.

Father Michel gave me the name
of the village priest.

He'll help us.

Good Morning.

Welcome to St-Claire.

- You're Father Etienne?
- Yes.

Father Michel from La Rochelle
sent me.

Ah, Father Michel.

Father Michel is a good priest
and a good man. He was my confessor.

He told me to come and see you
if I needed help.

What kind of help?

I'd like to confess.

Follow me.

Bless me, Father,
for I have sinned.

It's been over a month
since my last confession.

In the name of the Father, the Son
and the Holy Spirit, Amen.

I've walked from La Rochelle
to St-Rémy with a sick child.

Now his condition has worsened.

Did you do it on purpose
to harm this child?

Lord, no.
I had no choice.

This child is would be persecuted.

It's certainly not a sin
to help a human being.

Maybe I should have stayed
in La Rochelle.

I know doctors there.

Is it a doctor you need?

Yes.

There is a doctor in St-Rémy,

but I don't think he's a wise
choice for a persecuted child.

There is another,
but he's no longer practicing.

Go to Camille's bistro
and ask for Dr. Bizet.

Thank you, Father.

In the name of
the German government ...

Germany and France
are now united.

The bistro?

Germany recognises the suffering
of the French people.

We want to put an end
to this suffering.

We want to begin a new era
of friendship.

Excuse me.
I'm looking for Camille.

What do you want with Camille?

The priest told me that she knows
where Dr. Bizet is.

You hear that Bizet?

She called you "doctor".

Hello Doctor.
I'd like...

Your hooch is better
than I thought, Camille.

I'm dreaming that a ..

beautiful young woman is
sitting at my table.

So that we can help you,
-

we also need your help.

We must all work together

so that we can protect you.

In this beautiful country,
there are some elements

that don't share our values.

Communists,

Terrorists,

Provocateurs,

Exiles and Foreigners.

We need to work together to eliminate
these elements from our midst.

- Hey, Grandpa, what's wrong?
- Please, he's old.

Eunuchs,
you're the worst.

Mr. Desjesquier!

I'm explaining to these people

that we're their friends.

Forgive him, Father.
He's young.

Someone should show him
the right path.

That's right, for sure!

Young people need guidance
from men like us, Father.

It's my duty to protect my flock.

But... we're not wolves.

On the contrary,
we want to protect you from wolves.

I was hoping it wasn't you ...

You mean the one to arrest you?
To shoot you?

Forster's looking for you.

You were seen escaping with
the Jews when Miss Strasser ...

- Was killed by your men.
- Not my men.

Gestapo, Police.
What's the difference.

You're still protecting that family?

They need to leave France
quickly.

So do you.
You can't come back.

I have to go back to them.

If you need anything,
whatever it is, contact me.

What made you change your mind?

A dog.

Leave the church alone.
We need them.

We need to be united
in our common faith

to touch the hearts
of the people.

Yeah, of course.

Where were you?

I thought I was on to something..
False alarm.

Let's go!

We still got several villages
on our list today.

How long are you planing on
staying this time, little angel?

I need a doctor.
And I'm no angel.

There is a doctor in the village.

What do you want from me,
demon?

The village doctor isn't
the right one for me,

and I'm no demon either.

What are you then?

Someone with no home any more.

Welcome to the club.

They took away my licence
after the war.

They said I was mad.

I was trying to patch up
the tattered bodies

of our soldiers,

our former comrades.

If I couldn't do it ...

and they screamed out in pain.

I put them to sleep...

very gently.

Forever.

Tell me.

Is that the actions of a mad man?

I couldn't care less
if you're mad.

There's a child, who's sick.

And if he doesn't see
a doctor soon, he'll die.

A "special" child , I imagine.

Otherwise,
you wouldn't have come to me.

How is he?

Not very well.

He couldn't eat anything.

Did you find a doctor?

Right, let's unbutton this.

You're going to take a big, deep breath.
OK, breath in.

Once again.

Pneumonia?

There is a miracle cure.

The Germans have stockpiled the
entire sulfamide stock

for themselves.

So we'll have to rely
on traditional medicine.

There is a root that grows locally.

People here call it "lung root".

I don't know its Latin name.

Must I really let this drunk
treat my son with this?

Yes.
Because he's our only hope.

You're quite right, sir,
to reproach me

for being drunk
when your son is so ill.

But this remedy

it is the best one available
to a French patient.

- Water please.
- Right away.

Thank you.

I want you to take this.

You'll drink it all,
the whole spoonful.

It will do you good.
Ok?

Open your mouth.

That's it.

And,
how long do you still need?

It'll take time.

Dieter is on our side,
but Strelitz is not.

He doesn't like the SS guys,

but to be honest,
he likes you alot less.

I'll take over navigation control
when the time comes.

I spoke to the machinist's men.

The ones who have no family.

We've been on ten missions together.
They're with us.

You were right about Laudrup.

We've probably got a Chief Engineer.

He's longing to sit
on his aunt's lap again.

Never mind.

But Schiller is a problem.

He believes what Peter said
about the radio.

I know.

What else?

How is the crew's morale?

It's been better.

The SS mission,
the broken radio.

It's making everyone nervous.

I get it.

Well then..

Let's liven this place up a bit.

How's the weather, Fischer?

It's cleared up.
Blue skies.

Good chance of a sunburn.

It sounds like in the Caribbean.

Chief, stop both engines.
Right away.

Understood.
Stop both engines!

What's going on?

Forgive me, Captain,
but what are you doing?

Both gun crews
to battle stations.

Two additional outlooks
on the deck.

Aye-aye, Captain.

Gun crews to battle stations!

Two additional outlooks
on the deck!

Gentlemen!

I ordered you out here today
because today is Saturday.

And in my family,
Saturday is bath day.

- Have you lost your mind?
- What's wrong, Friedel?

You've been complaining about
the lack of hygiene.

Strasser, music!

- It's January, Captain.
- We're in middle of the Gulf Stream.

The water only a bit colder
than in La Rochelle.

We'll freeze our balls off!

What are you?
Cowardly Tommies?

Fat Americans mommie's boys?

Is this an order, Captain?

It's not an order, Strelitz.
It's a test of your manhood!

Who else is a true
German sailor?

Shit!
Why not?

Take it off!
Take it off!

Come on, men!

What's taking you guys so long?

What's this crazy fool up to?

I have no idea,
Storm Teamleader.

They're all completely mad.

Yes, totally out of their minds.

Make room for Titch, you pussies!

The first man around the boat

get a bottle of rum!
And Go!

Watch your back, here comes Wilhelm!
Move it! Come on!

Here come the engine room boys!

Don't let them beat you!

Enemy plane!

Enemy plane!

Take cover!

- Fire at will!
- Take cover!

Clear deck and bridge!
All hands below!

Help! Help!

- Move it!
- Help!

Hold on! I've got you!

Second airplane at 8 o'clock!

Fire at will!

All hands to diving stations!

Go!
Move it!

Asshole!

Faster! Faster! Faster!
Go!

Torpedo!

All hands below!
20 degrees port!

Schiller!

Schiller, we have to get below!

Chief!
Prepare to dive!

Prepare to dive!

Depth charges.
But too far away.

Come below, sir!

All hands on board?

Petty Officer, I've asked if
all hands are on board!

Aye-aye!

Flood the tanks!

Stop!

Stop!
Man overboard!

Go down 100 meters.

20 on the bow plane,
10 on the stern!

Man overboard!
Man overboard!

Man overboard!

Thank you.

- Torpedo. 40 degrees.
- Torpedo. 40 degrees.

- Bearing fast right.
- Bearing fast right.

Miss.

Miss.

What the hell were you thinking?!
Captain?!

If the war was going
as we believed,

as the propaganda would
have us believe,

then here should be a safe zone

and no attack would be possible.

That there...

was military subversion.

Schiller was still alive on deck.
Where is he?

He was hit.

On his way to the bridge.
I saw it happen.

I'll write it all in my report.

How many men have we lost?
Five?

Six!

We should recover the bodies.

We let the sea
take care of the dead.

Ship's at 100 meters, Captain.

Both engines forward.
Slow speed.

Hey Robinson.

What'ya doing skulking
in the shadows?

I'm sorry.
I didn't want to disturb you.

Impressive he came all this way
out of hours to hear us.

Isn't it boys?

Is that one of the songs
from New Orleans?

Gonna record it for posterity,

that is,
if it meets with your approval.

Of course.

I just hope the piano in
the studio is more in-tune.

Maybe it's it way I'm playing it.

Wannna show me how it's done?

Okay.

Faster.

Much faster.
Much faster.

Well

That was too fast for me,
I guess.

That's okay.

Let's take it slow then.

All you white folks!
Please leave!

The club is now closed!

White people out...!

Let's go!

I need to find out!
Get outta here!

Let's go! Let's go!
White people out!

Come on!

I'm not getting off this stage!
You don't have a warrant to get ..!

- White people out!
- I'm not getting off this stage!

What' wrong?

And why was she arrested?

- I- I don't know.
- Then just go see Sam.

He's got the money
to pay the bail,

he likes this ...music.

That's not what this is about.

You know Sam and Miss Lloyd
are very close.

You mean..
she wants his money

and he wants to fuck her?

But he is Jack Greenwood's son.

- People will start to talk ...
- Stop it!

We both know why you're here ..
you want to test me.

You don't think I'll be able to
get your black whore out of jail.

What? No.

You are just like Sam.

You think I'm just a small-time,
sleazy lawyer.

I don't think that.

But who do you go to when
you're in trouble?

- When you're up to your neck in shit?
- It's not like that.

You brought Sam back to America.

- It certainly wasn't easy.
- It wasn't!

But I made it possible.
Nobody else could have done it.

Never forget that.

I can make things happen!

May I help you?

I'm here to pick up ...
Miss Cassandra Lloyd.

Wrongly detained, I believe.

Huh, Really?

And who are you?

Frederick Berger,
Attorney at lawyer.

I'm not acquainted with your
Superior, Chief, but ...

Thomas O'Leary, Chief of the
Midtown Precinct

is a personal friend of mine.

Might I ask what your interest
in Miss Lloyd might be?

I have no personal interest.

Kindly show this card
to your Superior.

O'Leary is a police officer?

A very respected big shot.

And he know who I am.

You alright?

I've played better joints,
I've also played worse.

We'll have you in a cab to uptown
in a minute Miss.

Thank you, Mister ...?

Thank you anyway.

- Shall I see you home?
- Yeah.

I'm sure Miss Lloyd is perfectly
capable of finding her own way home.

See you around, Robinson.

Sam is a rich, spoilt fool.

If he wants to have a Negro whore,
that's his problem.

You are a German soldier!

If you want me to do my duty
as a soldier,

- then get me back to Germany.
- Do you really want that?

Of course.

Good. Then I'll help you.
But first, help me.

What do you think it would mean
for the U.S. Navy

if we destroyed
their Naval Academy in Maryland

and then
the Marine Base in Carolina?

What do you think the strategic
impacts would be?

The damage caused
would be devastating.

The east coast would be unprotected,

against our U-boat fleet.

The commanders of the new fleets
the Americans are currently building

would be wiped out.

But how do you plan to do that?

An air strike like Pearl Harbor?

Three men ..

and a suitcase of dynamite.

I need your expertise.

I don't understand.

In a few days, a German U-Boat
will reach the coast of Maine.

We'll both be there to meet them.

And when all goes smoothly,
then this U-Boat will take you,

as a hero, back to Germany

You're in contact with Berlin?

Like I said,
I have my connections.

With deep sadness,

we pay our respects
to our fallen comrades.

We swear
that their sacrifice ...

We swear
that their sacrifice ...

It is customary to say that
their sacrifice was not in vain.

But maybe it was.

Just like all those who already
lie at the bottom of the sea.

And all those
who will follow them.

Simply, all for nothing.

Damage report, Chief?

Fortunately,
only superficial damage.

They didn't hit the hull.

The diesels should be able to
run at full speed.

Only the batteries
are giving problems.

What problems?

I charge them up
and they discharge immediately.

Seems distilled water is leaking.

Can you fix it?

Yeah,
with more distilled water.

With a lot more distilled water.

Latest reports,
say there's a supply ship

in quadrant Caesar Bruno 95.

We can't stop
and we definitely can't go back.

- It would endanger the mission.
- We have to.

Then we'll get spare parts for
the radio and we can refuel.

Get the crew down here.

Set course for the quadrant.

Aye-Aye, Captain.

How will we contact the supply ship
without a long-range radio?

We'll have to try on VHF for that.

When you contact the supply ship
by VHF,

arrange a meeting point.

Captain, is it really necessary?

It would be too suspicious
if we didn't.

Tell them that our codename
is "Scorpion".

But that is U-612's codename.

When they see us, they'll report
immediately to Lorient.

They'll be ordered to stop us.

Then we must stop them
from doing that.

Captain!

A cylinder in the port diesel engine
is making strange noises.

We need to dive,
so I can check it out.

We're too slow under water.

We need speed if we want
to catch up to von Reinhartz.

- But we can't ...
- We'll stay on the surface!

Anything else?

Is it that time again, already,
Chief?

That's all you get.

Your reflexes
are still working well.

Now drink.

Thorsten!
Hurry up!

The boys want their turn too.

Give it here!

What's up with you?

We will win this war.

Because we have to win this war.

Because, there cannot be any doubt
about the fact

that freedom will always prevail

over the oppression
of dictatorship.

And, I say this,
not without some pride.

Because we at
Greenwood Commercial Ventures,

have succeeded in creating for
the Air Force and Navy

the technology to win this war.

Sorry, Father.
If I may interrupt.

We're only just now
developing the prototype, and

If you don't stop talking about it,

we’re gonna have to shoot
everybody here.

Alright. Alright. I'll stop.

But not before thanking you, Sam,

because without you,
none of this would be possible.

I underestimated you for
a long while. Too long.

Ok, Pops. Ok.

Why don't you tell all these people
what they really wanna hear?

Huh? Will you?
Or will you not?

Alright. Okay.
Yes I will do it.

I hereby state my intention
to run for the Senate.

Congratulations, Dad!

My greatest achievement
of the evening.

Sneaking her in right under
my father's nose

for his election party.

I never though her and I would be able
to be in the same room as the old man.

Cheers!

You shouldn't have interrupted.

He wanted to praise you.

Fathers don't often do that.

I know, but his way of praising
people makes me sick.

It's a way of praising himself.

Besides, We're not there
with the radar testing yet.

I don't want someone else
to beat us to it.

She really is the prime article.

I do love her, you know.

So why don't you introduce
her to your father?

You know. As the future
Mrs. Sam Greenwood.

Oh. That's funny.

He against segregation.
He says it in every speech.

Yeah. Well there are limits.
Would you marry a Jewish girl?

I would marry
the woman I loved.

Really?

Sam!

Here.

That was beautiful.

See? Theo.
Someone was listening.

Why did you agree
to sing here?

We owe Sam.

He's paying us well.
Got a dress.

- But you obviously hate it.
- I don't hate it.

I mean, how's it gonna
advance our lot

if I turn down the chance
to play events like this?

That's just a self-imposed form
of segregation.

Do I like?
No. I hate it.

But, I sang my song.

Done my duty.

Not that anyone listened.

Apart from you.

You wanna get outta here?

One-and-only chance.

I'm off to New Orleans
in the morning.

Who knows after that?
Stardom?

Of course,
after the war,

we're gonna have to finally deal
with the excessive bureaucracy,

And, I think some moderate
tax cuts for high end earners

should, provide some real
incentive for industry.

Don't you agree, Don?

Hey! Come on! I want to
introduce you to Senator Corbin.

Harlem.

You won't get this smell
in Bloomingdale's,

but if it was sold in bottles,
I'd buy it.

You afraid
of my black brothers?

You'll take care of me,
won't you?

Depends on how you behave.

I still wonder.
Why the raid on the club?

Because it's doing well.

Precinct Chief figured Joe was
good for another thousand a month...

Joe didn't figure he was ...
so ...

- So?
- So. I guess he does, now.

Care for a dog?

- Hey.
- Hello.

- Two hot dogs, please
- Si. Si.

But that's not why
you're brooding, Robinson.

What's up?

- It's nothing.
- Come on. I saw you back there.

Something eating you right up.

I helped Sam with his radar.

So?
That's good.

- Could lead to many deaths.
- Yeah. Of Nazis.

Of Germans.

Not all Germans are Nazis.
Not by a long way.

So, they're not your people.

I'm just saying,
not every German is a Nazi.

But the others,

the non-Nazis, don’t stop them,
so there is no distinction.

- Here you go!
- Thank you.

Thank you.

Have a good evening!

Why did you help him
if you didn't want to?

I felt like I didn't have a choice.

- Didn't you?
- I don't know.

Maybe I wasn't prepared to accept
the consequence of refusing.

That's how we find ourselves
in chains,

fear of consequences.

The only consequence I feared

was I wouldn't see you again.

Get some meat on your bones...

Go wait in my room.
It's just there.

How was the party?

Great. They loved it.

You only lying to the Lord!

Not my old lady.
I'm just renting.

I know they use this room
when I'm not here.

You should get yours off too.
It's not that warm in here.

I must tell you something.

I'm not...

You're not what?
Robinson.

I don't know
who I am anymore.

From the moment I arrived
in America,

I was desperate
to go back home.

But now...

Something's changed.

I have changed.

And I wish I could tell you.

Why don't you?

I can't.

That's okay.

We agreed on taking it slow.

LANDING SITE

JANUARY 12, AT NIGHT
