Das Boot (2018–…): Season 3, Episode 2 - Episode #3.2 - full transcript
(DARK, DRAMATIC TONE)
We need to white flag, sir.
Sir, that's not how we do it!
(GUN FIRE)
That's how I do it, number one.
I talked to Father Madden
about the service.
The church was bombed last month,
so he said we could hold it here.
(SOFT, PENSIVE MUSIC)

No, German legation first.
(GENTLE, CLASSICAL MUSIC)

They who go down to the sea
in ships,
who do business on great waters,
these see the works of the Lord
and his wonders in the deep.
For he commandeth
and raiseth the stormy wind
which lifteth up the waves thereof.
They mount up to the heaven,
they go down again to the depths.
Please be seated.
(SHE SOBS)
We remember our son,
Daniel James Swinburne,
who was lost at sea on the convoy
PQ19 on February the 12th.
The rest of the cartridge line
send their best.
Thank you for coming, Helen.
From all at Western Approaches...
our sincere condolences.
Thank you, Commodore Francombe.
Sir. Mrs Swinburne.
Good of you to come, Number One.
Sir.

Swinburne.
(KNOCKS)
My dear Swinburne, do come in.
Please.
Very moving service, John.
To your boy.
To the unconditional surrender
of the enemy, sir.
(GLASSES CLINK)
Indeed.
Although, there are many here
who believe it's wrongheaded policy.
Morally as well as financially.
They lost the moral war
when they torpedoed merchantmen
without warning.
Like the last war.
We can't become as bad as them.
I'm saying by whatever means.
Maybe you'll have your wish.
Your refit.
Like all O and P classes,
"Perseverance"
needs a machinery refit.
New gunnery, charges,
radars and asdics.
The whole kit and caboodle
that Admiralty, at least,
believes would give us the edge
over Jerry.
The new Multi-Spigot Mortar.
Hedgehog.
Yes, designed by
Churchill's "Toyshop"
I believe
they're calling themselves.
Much greater chance of U-Boat kill.
They claim.
Throwing ahead principle
reduces blind time.
24 small bombs greatly increases
the chance of a hit,
and contact fuse sweeps the depths.
One drawback, of course.
The anti-morale effect on the enemy.
If it misses, no detonation.
Hmm.
Well, I'd sooner kill a German
than scare him.
How long is this going to take?
Hard to say.
It's new technology, the shipyards
are currently working to rule.
What does that mean? Weeks? A month?
However long it takes.
You'll oversee the refit.
(SNORTS)
While she's in the yard you can
spend some time with Mrs Swinburne.
Consider that an order, John.
Of course. Sir.
And it's Jack!

We can't afford to waste rations,
Jack.
You should know that.
Where are you going?
I told you.
I have a double shift
at the factory,
so I'll be back late.
It's a good crowd.
You met Helen at the service.
It's people from all over,
the West Indies even.
They've got a singing group,
they like to give us a...
a few numbers in the tea break.
I wish you wouldn't look at me
like that.
How's that?
Like I shouldn't get on with things.
I can't live like that.
And you shouldn't either.
It's not so easy
for some of us to forget.
We both know
that comment's beneath you.
I've been out there.
You're lucky not to know the meaning
to fight and die at sea.
And you're lucky
you've never given birth to a child,
to have some stranger
knock at the door
to tell you
you're never going to see him again.
(DISTANT BELL TOLLS)
I'm in that factory making shells,
trying to win this war,
beat the enemy,
just like you or anybody else.
And if I'm enjoying
somebody singing, so bloody what?

A nasty end.
Good day. I'm Inspector Da Costa.
Inspector of the Policia
de Vigilancia e Defesa de Estado.
I know, it's a grand sounding title
for a humble policeman.
(CHUCKLES)
You are?
My name is Giese.
I represent Kapp Holdings.
Dorfmann was one of our employees.
Oh.
My condolences.
Had you encountered him
while he was here?
No.
No, our paths did not cross.
Until now.
And what kind of business
does your company engage in?
We're in import/export.
And you're here to take his place?
No. I'm here to sort out
some administrative issues.
And to assist
in the repatriation the body.
My stay will be short.
Ideally.
I understand.
Your poor colleague's effects.
It's very little, I'm afraid.
Thank you.
We will release the body
once inquiries are completed.
It seems like
a straightforward matter.
There are plenty of others.
Oh, those are easy to explain.
People who came to our city
from elsewhere in Europe,
hoping to escape.
But tickets and visas
are hard to find.
And when money and hope run out,
this is where they end up.
(CHUCKLES)
Sadly.
The violent death
of any foreign national
is something we take most seriously.
Especially German.
We don't want to provoke you
into invading us, do we?
(GIGGLES)
No.
I'm sure it won't come to that.
(INHALES SHARPLY)
Close to lunch time.
Staying too long with the dead is...
bad for the digestion.
(CHUCKLES)
Yes.
A short trip then, huh?
But a pleasant one, I hope.
You should take some time to relax.
Get some sunshine.
You look like
you've been working too hard.

Nothing we can do now.
The rate these lot are going,
we'll never get this refit done.
Arseholes!
I'm all for the unions, Jack.
Gives the labor movement a bad name.
Should be different.
Listen, Jack.
There's something I heard.
Right?
In the offy there.
I bumped into some Merchant boys
who made it home.
They said their convoy
was still in the danger zone when...
a decision was made.
I don't know why.
The escort was drawn away.
That's what you heard.
One minute it was there,
frigates, destroyers, the lot,
the next it was gone.
No protection.
Sitting ducks.
You're talking about
my son's convoy, aren't you?
Those U-Boat bastards
must have thought it was Christmas.
