X Company (2015–2017): Season 3, Episode 5 - Frontiers - full transcript

- Previously on X Company...
- You must be Sabine's father.

Helene Bauer. I'm looking
forward to meeting you.

He's a German agent.
Where is he?

This is me,
asking you the nice way.

We have a promise
to keep to your boss.

So how can we get to Poland?

There's one way to cross
those borders without papers.

Sir, they're
on a train to Poland.

Headed for a concentration camp.

We have to escape.

It's my fault that
they're on that train.



I put that team at risk because I was.
Selfish.

Harry!

Krystina, I rely on you.
I trust your judgment.

The next operational team that goes
out, you're in. I won't let you down.

We're going to take you all
back to our camp. We have to go.

We know this train is carrying
a shipment of weapons

and we'd very much like to take
them with us. Is that your wife?

NO!!

The guns arrived in Pruszko
on yesterday's train.

These are the names of six of
our fighters in German custody.

I will trade Fritz for them.

Unless all six prisoners are there, we'll
execute him. I'm offering you a job.

I'd like you as my associate.

You can start at the office
at 9 am sharp.



We did land a prize.

A Brigadefuhrer.

Pete?

Your instructions were clear.

The man who enters
this room is a mole.

You were to shoot him.
But it was Peter-

- Sometimes your friend is a mole. You
might have to kill someone you know.

I didn't know it was a drill,
okay? Next time...

There's no "next time"
when you're dead.

I'll send my report
to Sergeant Breeland.

Get back to the Camp.

You already did this test?

Yeah.

How'd you do?

I shot Janine.

Good morning, Helene.

Did you get any sleep?

Me neither.

- Has he heard anything?
- Nothing yet.

He's been in Brigadefuhrer
Faber's office

since dawn. But
not much he can do

until Polizeifuhrer
Goestchl gets here.

My boss.

He'll be here soon.
In the meantime...

Ladies,

this is our new associate,
Helene. Marlene,

Lotte... Nice to meet you. So,

Race and Resettlement,
that's us, in this area.

Police are on the other side
of the building,

the Gestapo we are
finding room for.

The Women's League are here too.

We're all piled
on top of each other.

It's a temporary arrangement.

We're just at the beginning now.

- The beginning?
- Poland is the frontier of our Lebensraum.

But soon all of this land
will be reclaimed as our own.

Where do we start?

You will be assigning homes
to the German officers

arriving in Poland.

The homes are empty?
The owners are gone.

I'd like to process
these portfolios today.

- These are important men.
- Everyone in this folder

gets a high-grade property.

That's nothing. You should see

where Obergruppenfuhrer
Schmidt lives.

Everything in the green area
is ready for reassignment.

His parents... his brothers...

they think he's a kid
working at a desk in Ottawa.

They'll get a telegram.

A story.

While some other bastard

gets to keep breathing. You can't blame
him for not rescuing us at Pomoc.

He didn't plan on getting captured.
He had blood on his hands

before we ever got
on that train.

He's our only inside connection
to the oil refineries.

We're lucky he's here.

- Lucky?
- At least this way we can protect him.

Shall I go thank him

for a train ride to Poland,
while we're at it?

Or for shooting Rigaud?

What about the hospitality he showed
you in a Gestapo prison in Paris?

Or have you forgotten about that?
Think of the bigger picture.

We have to get him
back to work in one piece.

If this lot catch us
helping a Nazi, we'll be shot.

This prisoner exchange
needs to happen.

Until then I say
let the Poles have at it.

Where is Polizeifuhrer
Goetschl? I need those prisoners

released immediately. We've been
trying to alert him to the situation,

Herr Obergruppenfuhrer.
He's been investigating

the other incident from last night.
What incident?

The cargo train that was
sabotaged. Set on fire.

- Herr Obergruppenfuhrer.
- Take Fraulein Adler,

find Goetschl, and bring him
here immediately.

Frau Bauer,

excuse my brusque manner.

No apologies necessary,
Herr Obergruppenfuhrer.

I was pleased
when Sabine told me

you were joining us.
I didn't realize...

Fraulein Adler has
offered me a position,

and I was delighted to accept.

Welcome.

- What extraordinary good luck.
- Yes.

I thought so too.

- Where are you going?
- We need to find Aurora.

Gentlemen.

It's been a busy morning.

We haven't been
formally introduced.

Thank you for sheltering us.

They are the Allied agents
who organized the escape,

set fire to the train.

They lost one of their own.

I'm sorry to hear that.

Were you leaving already?
We need to go to Pruszko.

To find the Nazi base
of operations.

- The Town Hall?
- It was ours not so long ago.

- Can you tell us how to get there?
- I would advise against it.

You kicked the hornet's
nest by setting fire

to one of the Germans'
trains yesterday.

If you go, you can't come back. The
Germans are looking for our prisoner.

We know what we're doing.

You'll forgive me if I don't
risk our camp on your good word.

We have a fellow agent

working on infiltrating

the Nazi office. It's
important we make contact.

Our colleague doesn't know if we're
alive and has no way to reach us.

That seems strange considering
you are traveling with a radio.

That's none of your business.

I'll give you
directions to Pruszko.

But I want the use
of your radio.

Zosia needs to relay a message
to our government-in-exile.

I'm the only one
who touches this radio.

Then you are welcome to stay
here and keep it company.

You can go.

But you should know,
our perimeter is patrolled,

our sentries are
camouflaged. Any hint

that you bring the enemy
back with you...

I'll show you the way.

Tell Camp X about yesterday.

And remember
what we talked about.

What took you so long?
You know how important this is.

I'm overstretched.
It's too much for one man.

I can't deal with twelve matters at once.
Then delegate.

- Perhaps we can discuss this in my office?
- We'll discuss it here and now.

I will not allow Faber to be
murdered by these bandits.

Giving them what they want
will only encourage them more.

We wouldn't be in this position if
you had control of your district,

Polizeifuhrer. You want me
to go up in those woods?

Give me a schwadron
and a panzer, at least.

I need more men, more support!
You need Brigadefuhrer Faber!

His skill is worth more than a train
of new men under your supervision.

Not only have you put Germany's race
and resettlement plans at severe risk,

you also put my own
operation in jeopardy.

I can't protect an operation
I know nothing about.

It's a classified project.

I chose Poland because it was
secure. Apparently it's not.

You will bring Faber back

and he will fix your problem.
If you fail to do so,

the Fuhrer will want
to speak to you about it...

Personally.

Talk to Gestapo.
Find the six prisoners!

They will be exchanged
for Brigadefuhrer Faber.

- Jawohl.
- You! Come with me.

We will arrange the convoy. The exchange
is to take place at 1600 hours.

I'll tell my daughter.

What are you working on?

I have to send a message.

May I?

Before our radio was damaged,

I was the operator.

My brother Eli taught me.

He was in the Army.

If you show me the key,
I can work on the encryption.

If it's a one-time code, you're
not giving any secrets away.

I understand.

I'll let him know.

Polizeifuhrer?

All the prisoners
requested by the Resistance

have been deported to the camps.

Then I'll take a truck from the
convoy, and go to the camps myself...

It's not that simple.

We need to talk.

What happened?

They've been executed.

All six of them.

There's no one to exchange
for Brigadefuhrer Faber.

That should do it.

Your brother taught you well.

He's dead.

I'm sorry.

We were hiding

at Janowski's farm.

He and Eli were friends

since they were kids.

A German patrol came one night.

We ran as soon as we heard them,

but one of the soldiers saw us.

Eli was shot in the shoulder.

The... the wound

never healed properly.

He died

of an infection a week later.

And you came here?

We created here.

You think Janowski could go
back home after harbouring Jews?

Bloody hell!

- I keep making mistakes.
- May I?

- Thanks.
- Would you mind

- if I used the radio?
- Go on.

I thought you might be hungry.

- Thank you.
- I'm not hungry.

You haven't eaten all day.

She's tired.

It's been a difficult day.

The situation is in good hands.

The prisoner exchange
will proceed as planned.

That's wonderful.

If you're not going to eat,

you should go home and unpack.
Get some rest.

- I want to stay. I should be here.
- He's strong, Sabine.

He'll find a way to come home.

Maybe you should make sure
everything is ready for him.

Don't you have any friends
out there that could help Franz?

They were supposed
to arrive by train

yesterday, but they didn't.

Of course. You were
everywhere in Paris,

but now, when we need you?
Nowhere to be found.

Untersturmfuhrer Edsel

has arranged for someone
to take you home, Sabine.

Thank you, Frau Bauer.

It means a great deal to me
that you are here.

For Sabine.

A friend like you.

At a time like this.

It means a lot to me too.

To be here for both of you.

He's for Janowski.

They're going to have
a talk. Alone.

A friend of mine died yesterday.

He was locked in a transport
to a death camp.

He died trying to save
innocent people from that train.

Mowed down by Nazi gunfire.

I'm sorry for your loss.

But I didn't kill him.
It wasn't my fault.

It wasn't your fault?!

Wasn't your fault?!

The Nazis raided my village

when I was in a POW camp.

They took my wife.

Without shame,

in front of my whole family.

My mother was too ill to even get
up, so they shot her in her bed.

That wasn't my fault, either!

Clearly he's smart, motivated.

He's also impulsive
and lacks discipline.

He failed the mole test, but performed
well in the bartender sting.

- He can play a role.
- So what do you think?

He needs more time.
Janine, Peter, and Imre

are all progressing well. And
how about Sergeant Breeland?

- I told my parents my boss might send me out of town for...
- Sir.

What is it?

We lost Harry.

I can't seem to find something
adequate for Reichmann and Dahl.

There are only cottages left.

I'm sure something appropriate will come
up after the next block of evacuations.

- More Jews.
- No, no.

Most of them are already gone.
The locals are being resettled.

Resettled?

There will be ample choices for Dahl
and Reichmann when they arrive.

Jana?

Take this to the mail room.

Please don't be put off.

We keep some of them around
because they have some education.

We're very understaffed. Not just
us, either. The post office,

library, train station...
Fraulein Adler!

I'll be right back.

I'm going to step out
for a moment.

Good day.

I... I heard about the fire.

- What happened?
- It was us.

To get them to stop the train.

We managed to break out, but...

we were under fire
from the Germans.

And Harry...

The Gestapo's going to show up
for the rendezvous at 4:00 PM.

- Without the prisoners?
- I couldn't get any more details.

My guess is that they'll try
to free Faber by force.

- And when...
- Morning.

When the Resistance sees
that they've been lied to,

they'll try to kill him.

I'll do what I can
to keep him out of harm's way.

Alfred, the mission can't
lose both you and Faber.

Heidi says that the whole town

is understaffed.
The Reich is desperate for...

Good morning.

Educated people
with some German.

The train station?

I might be able
to track oil shipments.

The Germans won't
make it that easy.

No. But it might get us
closer to the refineries.

You're going to need
some Polish papers.

I'll see what I can find
at the office.

I'll meet you back here later.
Yeah.

I've been gone too long.

We never got to finish our
conversation from the train.

If you're going to ask about
the guns, I've already told...

I'm more interested in
what brings you here, Fritz.

Someone of your rank,
it must be business.

So what is it? More evacuations?

I deal in counterintelligence.
Pacification.

I can see why my superiors
required my presence here.

Your camp is impressive.
It's well hidden.

And very well fortified.

Even if you were
to get out of here alive,

you'll never find it again.

If you stay away from German villages
and trains, I won't have to.

Cross your heart
and hope to die?

A gentleman's agreement.

If you let me go and stop
illegal actions in this area,

I won't send anyone to harm you.

Call it a cease fire.

These are not German villages.

You are on Polish soil.

On our land.

We're both soldiers.
This is war.

It's not a personal choice. No.

You could have been
a better man.

But you put on a uniform,
and let it make choices for you.

When the war is over,

win or lose, you'll find a way

to justify your actions:

"I am a soldier."

"It was my duty."

"It wasn't personal."

But we both know
that isn't true.

I want to make sure
that you never,

ever forget the choice you made.

To put on that uniform
and play your part.

Either way, Fritz,
things are going to be

different when you look
in the mirror now.

Did you find your friend?

Yes. The prisoner exchange
will happen as planned.

- Good.
- But we need to be prepared.

Don't worry,
we'll have full control,

clear visibility and snipers
concealed in the trees.

We'll be ready.

Let's get back to the guns.

Where are they?

Where are they?

Please just stop.

The man needs to be presentable.

He needs to be able to walk.

I know what she looks like.

That's right. Your wife.

I don't think it would be
very hard to find out

where she lives,

where she sleeps.

Tell me where the guns are.

Or I will find her

and do to her what
your people did to mine.

I'll tell you. I'll tell you.

Here.

They don't have the prisoners
to trade for you.

They've been killed.
No one here knows.

They think the Germans are going
ahead with the exchange.

We'll find a way
to set you free.

Could you watch them a moment
while I load these welcome gifts

- into the car?
- Of course.

Come along, ladies.

Could you take these
into the mail room?

All three of you.

Immediately.

It's the personal touches,
when you arrive in a new place.

They make all the difference.

You'll need this at the exchange.
He has to escape alive.

Everyone we've lost. Everything.

It'll be for nothing if our
operation is compromised now.

Rigaud, Harry.

They have one thing
in common. Franz Faber.

You think that's a coincidence?

We need him freed.

Her direct orders.

Ten more minutes,

then we kill him.

Take your positions.

How were you going
to get us off the train?

You were wanted fugitives.

Political dissidents

I urgently needed to question.

You think I came to you to put
more blood on my hands?

This doesn't mean we're square.

Release the prisoner!

The prisoner stays where he is
until I see our men.

Out!

Move! Come!

Remove the hoods!

I said, take them off!

This isn't right.

What happened?

Where are the prisoners?
Probably dead already.

I thought your source
said they had them,

that we'd get them back.
That's what we were told.

Zosia, they're not to be blamed.

We were prepared for the ambush.

We'd have lost more, if we
hadn't had eyes in the trees.

Where is the German?

We lost him.

Stroik is looking
for him in the woods.

Jiri, Antonin, Teodor.

They're gone.

- Now what?
- We're low on guns.

We might have more.

I got through to London,

thanks to their radio.

Franz!

- Don't.
- What happened to you?

- I need a clean shirt.
- Why? - Where are they?

Where did you put them?

Where are they?

I need a shirt!

Here.

I'll bring you a fresh uniform.

The bathroom is through there.

- You know where the station is?
- Yeah.

The operator came through.

They're going to drop in
more guns and explosives.

- Glad it could help.
- Then we'll have two guns

for every man. What do you mean?

Stroik got Fritz to tell him
where the weapons are. The ones

from the train. He and Jerzy went to.
Why didn't you tell me this?

- I thought you knew.
- Which way did they go? - The edge of Pruszko,

the old warehouse.

- Franz!
- Herr Brigadefuhrer! You're injured.

- Is this my office?
- Yes.

- I need you to get a team together.
- Yes, Herr Bridgadefuhrer.

- We're going to eradicate those Resistance guerrillas.
- Where do we start?

The forest spans for miles.
No, not the forest.

I know exactly where
they will be. I sent them there.

There are to be no survivors.
Understood, Herr Brigadefuhrer.

Now, Edsel!

I hope you will
consider the position.

It has been so difficult to find
a literate German speaker.

But these are
the things we must do.

My mother insisted
I learn as a child.

It was either that
or the violin.

Personally speaking, I would
prefer to see more violinists

among us than German speakers.
Alec, this is my daughter,

Irena.

Without her, this place
would be in shambles.

- Pleased to meet you.
- Show Alec around, will you?

When can you start?

Now?

Perfect.

So, Alec.

We handle passenger tickets, but
most of our work involves cargo.

Don't move!

Take their weapons!
They're already here.

Let's get closer.

Up against the wall!

Move! Move!

Follow me. Stay low.

No. Wait.

There's too many of them.

We'll get the bastards
and we'll make them pay.

For the exchange.
We were supposed

to ambush the bandits,
not the other way around.

Instead, not a single soldier
comes back alive.

Now you see what I've been dealing
with here. They're savages.

Stop making excuses.

What are their numbers? It wasn't
numbers that made the difference.

They set the terms for the rendezvous.
They had time to plan.

It happened on their territory.
It's a miracle I made it out.

Where is their camp?
How well defended?

I saw nothing. I was
blindfolded the whole time.

They led me in circles
to the meeting point,

so I can't locate the camp.
They're motivated.

Ruthless. But they're
desperate for weapons.

Yes.

- Herr Brigadefuhrer, a word?
- Please excuse us.

Untersturmfuhrer Edsel
can speak freely.

All the Resistance guerrillas at
the target location were shot.

I also took the liberty
of keeping one of them alive

for interrogation. I believe
he was their leader.

I extracted

some very valuable
intelligence from him.

There are Allied spies
among the Polish Resistance.

Two men in the forest.

And someone working among us.

Thank you, Edsel.

I need to speak to the
Brigadefuhrer alone.

This is now your top priority.
You need to capture those spies.

- I'll dispose of them.
- No. I want them questioned.

I need to know if they're here
to support Resistance

or if they're targeting
Marigold.

- Marigold?
- Find the spies and we'll discuss it.

I know you requested
they all be killed.

But the man who
struck Frau Faber

is still alive.
He's downstairs in a cell.

I thought maybe you'd want
to speak with him...

personally?

Good work, Matthias.

Release him.

Out.

Get up.

Empty your pockets
onto the table.

Sit down.

If you think you're going to find out the
location of our camp, you are sadly mis...

The rendezvous is set.
Your contacts are expecting you.

- We'll do you proud, sir.
- Flight leaves at 0300. Gentlemen.

Sir.

Flight? You're sending them
into the field?

We need replacement agents
for Harry and Tom.

Peter and David?

- That's right.
- Sir, you said that I could...

I've made my decision, Krystina.

David just failed
his field test.

There'll be other opportunities.

I am a fully qualified radio
operator and fluent in Polish.

Prepare their papers, please.

We have a mole.
