Fog of w*r (2025)

[bunniefuu]

I sometimes have nightmares

that the Germans captured you

and put you in a camp.

Sometimes worse.

Sometimes in the dreams,

I'm screaming for you

to do whatever it is

you need to do.

To join them.

Do whatever you have to do

to stay alive.

They're coming!

Comin' in--

Joey, no!

(OVER RADIO

Parachutes!

Mayday! Mayday!

Bail! Bail!

Gene.

Gene.

Gene, over here.

You okay?

Looks like you're doing

a lot better than me, brother.

Let me look.

Okay.

Can you move?

I think it missed my vitals,

but I'm gonna need a medic soon.

- Okay, okay.

- You're gonna be okay.

I think the coast

is a few hundred yards that way.

We're gonna try

and find some friendlies,

and get out of here.

Where's Joey?

He's over there.

Stay here, I'll be right back.

I ain't goin' anywhere.

Joey. Joey. I'm here, buddy.

I'm here. You okay?

Hey.

Hey, Joey.

I'm sorry, buddy.

Sorry, buddy. I'm sorry.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

Get back, get back.

Please, please, please,

please, please.

Please, I have a wife.

I have a wife. I have a wife.

I have a wife.

I have a wife.

I've got children.

Go on inside,

he's expecting you.

It's open.

Sir, you wanted to see me?

Oh, McVean.

Come on in, close the door.

How's the training goin'

on the field?

Yeah, I think we have some of

our most promising recruits yet.

Good.

We're gonna need 'em.

What do you mean?

Ah, top secret plans

for an operational invasion

have been compromised.

Plans for landing sites,

ship positions,

launch times, all stolen.

We're halting all OSS operations

in Europe until further notice.

And British SOE and OSS

are in agreement.

If the Germans get their hands

on those plans,

we could lose our footing

in France.

And quite possibly the w*r.

Jesus Christ.

Come in.

Ah, one of the top recruits

we were just talking about.

Sir.

Agent Duncolm.

Your name's been

coming up a lot lately.

I understand your fianc

was shot down over France.

Yes, sir, the resistance

found him,

helped him out of the country

a few weeks ago.

I haven't seen him

since he's been convalescing

in Pennsylvania.

You must miss each other

very much.

Yes, sir.

Hospital discharge papers.

You work harder

than anyone here.

Your fianc needs you.

And quite frankly,

you could use a break.

I don't know what to say.

Thank you, sir.

And my deployment overseas?

Well, that day

may very well come.

But in the meantime, consider

this a temporary blessing

in a time where

there really aren't any.

Thank you, sir.

Should we really be giving

Agent Duncolm leave right now?

McVean, what do you know

about Penny's fianc?

Good morning, sir.

How's the pain?

Okay, but on a scale of 1 to 10?

- Four.

- Okay.

- I feel strong.

- Lieutenant Lewis?

I'm Captain McVean.

This is my associate.

Agent Alexander, OSS.

Do you mind if we speak

in private for a moment?

Yeah, sure.

How you holdin' up?

I'll be a lot better

when I get out of here.

I'd say you're a lucky man.

How so?

You're lucky to be alive.

It could be a lot worse.

Your fiance Penny Duncolm...

She okay?

Perfectly fine.

You're aware her uncle

owns a property up north?

Yeah, she grew up there.

A few days ago, there was

a highly sensitive operation

that was compromised.

Since then,

intelligence has intercepted

some unusual transmissions,

coincidentally coming

from an area near the farm.

We need somebody up there

to check things out.

Check out what, exactly?

Take a look around,

report back on anything unusual.

Does Penny know?

She's being provided leave

to go visit her aunt and uncle.

That's as far as it goes.

Having her run the operation

would only bring

unnecessary concern.

She's an incredible agent.

They'd raise too many questions.

You understand that, right?

Listen, son.

I know what it's like

to lose loved ones in a w*r.

The anger.

The shame.

This is how you fight back.

This is how you can do your part

and still be of service

to this country.

You're askin' me to lie

to my fiance and her family.

Not to lie.

To protect.

You're not spying on them.

There could be

a dangerous enemy lurking.

And they don't even know it.

Do I even have a choice?

Thank you, Lieutenant.

Attention

- Excuse me, sir.

- Is this seat taken?

Yes, it is, actually.

Penny.

Gene.

I, uh...

I can't believe it.

I thought we might never...

Me too.

So what is this I hear about you

becomin' a full-fledged

OSS field agent?

Is that true?

Well, we all have our part

to play in this w*r.

I guess that's mine.

Mm.

Always so modest.

But always an overachiever.

I'm proud of you.

Thank you.

I cannot wait to introduce you

to Uncle Bob and Aunt Maude.

Hmm.

As my fianc.

The w*r hero.

Attention passengers,

the 245 Express to Boston

-That'd be us.

-Oh.

...is now arriving

on platform three.

- And so I said, " You know,

- I know that you know that

And in the summers,

I'd take long walks by the water

at sunset.

Such a beautiful view.

It'll take your breath away.

Hmm.

I-- I-- I can't wait to see it.

What is it?

Well, it's just I know

how much you love this place.

I wish we were goin'

under different circumstances.

If you think about it,

we're getting the chance

to leave the world behind.

All the fear,

and the uncertainty.

I'm very grateful for that.

You're right.

I am, too.

In the morning,

the fog is so thick that

you can barely see.

But then the fog lifts,

and it's so beautiful.

You're gonna love it there.

I'll grab your bags.

Thanks.

There she is!

Uncle Bob!

There she is.

Let me take a look at you.

-I've missed you.

-You look fine.

You must be so thrilled to

be back home.

-Are you?

-Yes, very.

This must be Gene.

Uh, yes, Uncle Bob.

This is Gene Lewis.

It's a pleasure

to meet you, sir.

-Thank you for havin' us.

-You are most welcome.

You have

a very beautiful property.

Thank you.

Oh, and just through there,

about a hundred yards,

is the ocean.

- Amazing.

- Yeah.

Just chills you to the bone.

Just thinkin' that right

across that ocean

are thousands of Germans just...

just itchin'

to get their hands on us.

Come.

Storm could break it any

minute.

Jock and Jocelyn

have their own quarters

on the property.

- They help us out.

- I see.

Well, they've got their hands

full in Europe.

No sense in them bringing

the w*r to us.

Um, I'm gonna say hi to

Aunt Maude.

Why don't you give Gene

the tour?

That sounds like a good idea.

Absolutely.

This way.

I'll show you around.

Uh, Penny, did Maude tell you

we have a new hire?

Uh, yes. Viktor, isn't it?

Yeah, a refugee from Europe.

Another one

of her passion projects?

- You know how she is.

- Right.

He's been great with

helping Maude around the house.

- Say hello.

- I will.

This way, Gene.

So we got about 100 acres.

Uh, as you can see, we have--

we have sheep.

Some livestock.

One last stop.

I just have to pick up something

from the barn.

-Watch your step.

-Uh, thanks.

- Watch your step there.

- Yeah.

Oh, wow.

Who's the, uh, painter?

Well, I dabble here and there.

I used to deal in rare imports,

but since the w*r,

well, just do what I can

to keep everybody fed

till this thing's over.

How about you?

How's your family coping?

Oh, well, actually,

it's, uh, just me.

Both my parents passed when

I was in high school.

Oh.

Damn it! Forgive me.

-Penny told me.

-It's okay.

I am so sorry.

I know better.

Uh, it was a car accident.

-Is that right?

-That's right.

- You were from Ohio?

- Mm-hmm.

Well, we won't starve tonight.

Darling?

Darling?

I brought you a rabbit

and a lieutenant.

Ah!

Oh!

Well, look at you.

Penny was right.

You're a very handsome man.

- Gene Lewis.

- Maude.

Very happy to have you.

Nice to meet you. Thank you.

Where have you been?

Oh, um, in the barn.

Where's Penny?

She's in her room

unpacking her bags.

You are

one of the privileged few.

He never lets me see

his paintings

until they're finished.

You must have impressed him.

I've just made some coffee.

Would you like a nice cup?

Uh, no, ma'am.

I'm fine, thank you.

Oh, all right.

Well, one for my sweetie.

Thank you, my dear.

Let me show you upstairs

to your room.

I sure hope that Penny warned

you about the weather up here.

Once this thick fog sets in,

there's really nothing for it

except to stoke the fire

and put on the kettle.

Sounds charming.

I can't tell you

the number of times

we've been stranded

coming back from the city.

Every inn along the way knows us

well by now.

You have a very eclectic taste

for a farmhouse.

Oh, well, when we moved here,

I felt determined to bring

some of our city life with us.

Of course, I couldn't give up

my books.

Penny said you're partial

to Carl Jung.

- Is that right?

- Yes.

Actually, I'm part

of an informal little group

of Dr. Jung's acolytes.

Marie-Louise von Franz,

Joseph Campbell.

All our work has commonalities.

I'm actually writing

my dissertation

on the hero archetype in

Norse myths

as relates to the universal

unconscious.

Well, that sounds fascinating,

but completely over my head.

No, you would love it

because you would relate

as a warrior.

There's so much strength in

those tales.

So, this here is Viktor's room,

and yours would be right there.

- Thank you again.

- You're welcome.

If you need anything,

just let me know.

See you at mealtime.

See you then.

Would you like some help

unpacking?

Oh. No, that's okay.

I just want to put

a couple things away.

I was actually thinkin' about

going for a walk in a little bit

-to stretch my leg.

-Yeah, um--

If you want to join me.

Do you mind

if I took a rain check?

I just haven't seen Uncle Bob

and Aunt Maude in a while.

I hate to keep them waiting.

Yeah, of course.

We'll just bore you anyhow.

You should go.

Yeah, yeah.

Okay, well.

And that'll give me plenty

of time to talk about you.

What are you gonna say?

-Probably the worst.

-The worst.

There's nothing bad about me.

Who's this?

Is that you and your mom?

That shouldn't be in here.

I'm gonna go finish unpacking.

Okay.

Well, what do you think,

darling?

Well, from what Penny has said,

he seems disillusioned.

Slightly broken.

Yes, I think that his experience

has done something to him.

Might have opened him up.

Maybe.

Not every evil comes to

destroy us.

No, no, no.

But this is Penny

we're talking about.

I think she's young.

And I'm hoping that she's not

only thinking with her heart,

but with her head.

Maybe.

I mean, this is...

This is a big decision.

There she is.

Hello.

Hello.

Well, what do you think?

I-- I-- I think

that he's very well turned out.

I can see what you see in him.

Yes, yes.

He's very, uh,

very well-mannered.

Um, very pleasant.

I haven't seen

behind the mask yet,

but I assume you have.

Yes, I have.

It means a lot

that you like him.

Like him?

I didn't say I like him.

Don't put words in my mouth,

Penny.

All right, Bob. Come on now.

I mean, we've got to be honest.

Bob.

You know what an important

decision this is.

Yes?

Yes.

Good.

Gene Lewis.

Viktor.

You must be the pilot

Bob and Maude

have been talking about.

So where you from, Vik?

Belgium.

And it's Viktor, please.

Sorry.

Do be careful walking at night.

Through the forest there.

There are cliffs about

that you can walk up upon

and never realize

they are there.

Thanks for the heads up.

Don't stay out here too long.

Like I said,

it can be treacherous.

"The people saw the divine

in the natural world

around them,

in the rhythms of the seasons,

and in the patterns of

the stars.

They sought to maintain a sense

of balance and harmony

with this sacred world,

through rituals and practices

that reflected

their understanding

of the cosmic order."

A delicious worldview.

So, Viktor, I hear

you're a fantastic sailor.

No, no, no.

I do okay.

But I do love the seas.

Sailing these waters is hard.

Not for a pro like you.

A novice like me, though,

well, without a lighthouse

nearby,

I wouldn't wanna try it myself.

Not around here.

There you are.

I, uh,

nearly didn't make it back.

All goes rolling so quickly.

Give the man some whiskey.

Thank you.

So what about you, Gene?

Are you as talented on the sea

as you are in air?

Oh, uh, no. Not at all.

Quite the opposite really.

Oh, there's no need to be modest

in this house.

I'm sure

with your skills as a pilot,

you'd take to sailing like that.

Well, thank you.

So are these all yours, Bob?

Oh, no, these are old--

old paintings.

That's, uh,

that's our old family estate.

We can trace our ancestry

back to

when the first Vikings

raided Scottish shores.

On both sides.

It's true.

I wasn't having you on

when I said we come from

a long line of Scottish Lairds.

My grandpa was a socialist.

He used most of

the family's money

and immigrated to the States

in the late 1800s.

He was a man of principle.

- Right.

- Right.

Let sleeping dogs lie.

What about you, Viktor?

How'd you come to find yourself

all the way out here?

You know,

that's a very long story.

How about the short version?

Back home, I couldn't afford

to support my family.

Belgium is small and jobs

are scarce.

So I traveled.

Made it just outside of Belgium

when the country fell

to the Nazis.

Hmm.

Are you able to

send them money now?

I haven't heard from them since.

Where's your wedding ring?

Oh, it's gotten quite chilly,

darling.

Shall we get some more--

I'll get some more logs

for the fire.

And, uh, some potatoes.

Penny, can you give us a hand?

Okay, sure.

Hello.

Hi.

Just wanted to pop in

and say goodnight.

Come in.

What were you working on?

Oh, nothin'.

Just doodlin'.

Oh.

An artist, huh?

Did Bob inspire you?

Yes.

Yes, I wanna learn

to paint ships

and old family estates.

I hope they weren't too much.

I just mean I know they have

very distinctive personalities.

Oh.

Yeah, sure, but they're very

nice people.

Very smart, too.

Especially Maude.

Yes.

But I don't know what she's

talkin' about half the time.

Neither do I.

I'm very lucky to have them.

Yeah.

Hmm.

They're the only real family

I have left.

So...

...I wanted to see them again.

You know, just in case.

In case what?

Well, if the--

if the w*r isn't over soon,

I'll have to go back overseas

eventually.

So...

Penny,

nothing is going to happen

to you.

Yeah, you're probably right.

I just can't bear to think of

not being with you.

We shouldn't, I think.

Well, I-- I--

I don't wanna disrespect

Bob and Maude.

Oh.

In their house.

Yeah.

Right?

Yeah, you're right.

We should probably

go outside then.

No, I think

you'll just have to wait.

Forever and a day,

forever and ever.

Good night, my love.

Sweet dreams.

If they get married on the farm,

do you think they'd let us come?

I don't know. Maybe.

Can I get a new dress

if they do?

We'll see, sweetie.

Hey, uh,

I wanna check on somethin'.

Come with me.

You're not from around here.

Uh, no, sir.

I'm staying with Bob and Maude.

Gene. Gene Lewis.

I'm engaged to their niece

Penny.

Oh, congratulations!

Lovely family to marry into.

A testament really

with all they've been through.

Uh, I'm sorry.

Actually, I don't think

I understand.

Penny didn't tell you?

Well, that's not my business

anyway.

This is Sergeant Collins.

I'm Captain Quinn.

Out here alone?

No, I actually came out

to see...

He was here a minute ago.

- Is it that Viktor guy?

- The lodger?

I keep tryin' to talk to him,

and he's never around.

Tough to pin down.

Yeah, I know what you mean.

What happened to your leg?

I was wounded in France.

Hmm.

Plane crash?

- You already know?

- I do.

We have a mutual connection.

McVean.

He asked for a report.

I've actually written

a few things down.

About that lodger, Viktor.

Um, nothing concrete yet,

but you know, it's--

We only had a few interactions,

but it's all on there.

This is the telephone to camp.

If you need anything, anything,

give me a call.

Will do, thank you.

Keep your wits about you.

Absolutely.

Who was that?

Where'd you go?

Oh, taking care

of all the sheep.

The, uh, State Guard Captain

was here.

Oh, routine patrols.

So what brings you out here?

Well, I was hopin'

you could take me into town.

So I can grab a few things

I'm runnin' low on

and get out of the house.

Yeah. Yeah, sure.

We're all done here.

I can pack this up later.

- Hop on in.

- Thank you.

State Guard.

He mentioned somethin' about all

the bad that's happened

to Penny's family.

What about it?

Do you know

what he was talkin' about?

-Probably her mother's death.

-Jocelyn.

What?

You didn't know?

She doesn't talk

about her parents.

Maude practically raised her

as her own since she was

a young girl.

-How'd she die?

-We-- we don't really know.

People just say that she

went out for a walk one night,

and then the next day

they found her body

at the base of the cliffs,

by the water on the rocks.

People say that

she never did quite recover

from Penny's father dyin' in

the Great w*r.

It's a real tragedy.

That's when Bob and Maude

took her in

and raised her as their own.

So don't tell no one

we told you neither.

Bob's warned me a lot of times

about ever

bringin' that up in front

of Penny.

Hang-- hang on.

Something's wrong.

Something's wrong with

the engine.

Why don't you guys just

sit tight,

I'll take care of this.

How's his leg holdin' up?

You know, the wound,

is it healing?

Uh, I mean, it's okay.

Not healed, but it's fine.

Yeah, these things take time.

True.

I'm trying, Penny.

I'm-- I'm really trying.

But I'm just not seeing what

you're seeing in this man.

You're not meeting him

at his best.

I think France changed him.

He's just...

I think

it's all hitting him now.

I just want you to be with a man

of substance, and confidence,

and vision.

You have to trust this man

with your life.

And I do.

He's trustworthy.

He really is.

Just-- just give him time.

You'll see what I see.

He's committed.

Well, he fell in love with you.

-Rght.

-That's a commitment.

- Oh.

- Oh, Gene, there you are.

Everything okay?

Sorry,

I was just about to come in.

Oh, no, no. Finish.

I don't mind.

- Hi.

- Hi.

So where have you been?

Oh, I, uh...

I asked Jock

to take me into town, but...

Let me guess.

You didn't make it.

Right.

Jock's had a few run-ins

with the law.

Drunk and disorderly.

Nowadays, he'll do anything

to avoid going into town

and the temptations.

So...

That doesn't surprise me

for some reason.

Yes, I know what you mean.

The look.

Hey, Stern.

Jock said he saw you speaking

with the State Guard.

Oh, he just stopped by

for a minute.

Um, he was asking about Viktor,

actually.

He seemed concerned there was

someone living here

whom he hasn't met.

Hmm.

Well, I'm sure

it's just a misunderstanding.

-Come on.

-All right. Yeah.

It's been real nice

havin' Penny back.

Bob and Maude just light up

whenever she's around.

Yeah, she's talked

about this place a lot.

I think this is the longest

she's ever been away.

How did you and Penny meet?

It was in England,

after she escaped Paris.

Love at first sight?

No, not exactly.

I asked her out so many times,

I thought the w*r would end

before she ever said yes.

Luckily, my resolve

is stronger than hers.

What was she doing in Paris?

What about you, Viktor?

It must be difficult bein'

so far away from home.

Where was that again?

- Belgium.

- Belgium.

Not Antwerp by any chance?

I am.

My father was stationed there

for a brief time

after the last w*r.

He told me all

about this nightclub.

The Black Cat.

You must know of it.

No?

Uh, he said anyone

who ever stepped foot in Antwerp

would know about

the Black Cat Club.

Of course.

Wonderful place. The Black Cat.

Yeah.

No, wait.

It was Ghent.

My father was stationed

in Ghent.

Gene, you okay?

What happened?

Must have slipped.

Are you okay?

- Hey, hon.

- Back from the barn already?

You must have had fun

getting out of the house.

How was it?

Well, you know,

besides almost being impaled

by a bucket of falling tools,

you were right.

-It was fun.

-Oh, no. Are you all right?

- Yeah, no, I'm fine.

- It just missed me.

Banged my knee tryin' to dodge

out of the way, though.

I was right in front of Viktor.

Surprise.

I'm sure

it was just an accident.

Yeah, maybe.

You're not suggesting

he did it on purpose, are you?

No.

Not exactly.

There's just somethin'

about this guy I don't trust.

Hello.

I'm so sorry.

It took forever at the library.

They did not want

to let me take home

their precious foreign editions,

but eventually I got my way.

Anyhow, we'll be making our way

to the city

and should be back home

in two days,

as long as the fog holds.

But you never do know.

It wouldn't be the first time

we got trapped.

Is there any way

I can help them out there?

Oh, I think

they've got it under control.

Why don't you two lovebirds

spend a little time together?

Yeah, how about we go

for that walk?

Build up your leg strength?

Sounds good.

Wow, it really is beautiful

here.

Mm-hmm.

Sometimes I think

it'd be the perfect escape.

Just hide here

until the w*r is over.

If only.

I mean,

what are we even fighting for?

It's not our w*r.

At least, not in Europe.

What are you talkin' about?

You don't mean that, do you?

No, I...

I don't mean it like that.

How do you mean?

I just-- I just mean that

I've seen

what we are capable of.

I'm not sure our side

is all that good either.

Of course not, Penny.

But what we're fightin' against

is somethin' else.

- Yes.

- It's pure evil.

I know, I know. Of course.

You're right.

It just gets to me sometimes.

All of the death.

All of the secrets.

And I-- I just wish

we'd met before all this.

I'm just happy we met at all.

Me, too.

You know what's so great

about this place?

Hmm?

There's no one around to be

disrespected.

Okay.

Oh, no.

Something.

Lipstick?

Yeah.

Hungry?

Where'd all this food come from?

What do you mean?

It's a week's worth of rations,

at least.

And?

-And it's ill*gal.

-No, it's fine.

It's not fine, Viktor.

Families need this food.

Where did you get it?

What's all this?

Viktor?

It was supposed to be

a peace offering, actually.

Where did you get it?

A farmer who I work for

sometimes pays me

from his stock.

Sausages, eggs, bacon,

that sort of thing.

I was going to share them

with you.

Well, thank you, Viktor.

That sounds nice.

Hey, what was that about?

You don't really buy that,

do you?

What?

- None of that

seems strange to you?

Keep your voice down.

- He's hoarding food, Penny.

- Okay.

Farmers aren't supposed to

just give that away.

He's sharing with us.

He's being kind.

Bob trusts Viktor,

and that should be

enough for us, right?

Right.

But I'm not eatin' that food.

Fine.

Mmm, the food is delicious,

Viktor.

Thank you.

Yeah, thanks, Vik.

Penny!

Penny, no! No!

Sorry if I woke you.

You might have

the others fooled,

not me.

You hear me?

Do we have another problem here?

Something I'm not aware of?

You really think I don't know,

Viktor?

Know what?

What are you doing?

Who were you tryin' to contact

on that radio last night?

Listen.

I can explain.

Yeah, I think you'd better.

No more lies.

I was trying to reach my wife.

The resistance in France

promised they would find her.

I said no more lies!

I'm not lying.

Bullshit!

That radio

wouldn't reach France.

There are relay stations

set up all along the coast.

It's over, Viktor.

I'm turning you in

to the State Guard.

And they're gonna take care

of the rest.

You n*zi piece of sh*t.

You should be careful

pulling g*ns

on people you don't know.

Or you'll find yourself

in over your head

quicker than you expect.

Gene?

Not everything is as it seems.

Gene?

What the hell's going on

in here?

He took a wrong step.

Lost his footing.

I was just helping him up.

Isn't that right?

Gene!

What was that all about?

I gave that man

the benefit of the doubt, Penny.

I swear I did, but...

- What?

- He's a n*zi spy!

- Who, Viktor?

- Yes!

I caught him usin' a radio

in his room last night.

- A radio?

- A radio.

Uh, it's--

it's a briefcase-sized radio.

It was right there in his room.

And now it's gone.

And you saw this how?

Were you spying on him?

What? No!

I woke up

in the middle of the night.

And?

And I went into his room.

I knew it.

What was I supposed to do,

Penny?

What was I supposed to do?

- Ignore it?

- I knew it.

How about he came into my room

with a g*n?

Stood right there with a g*n!

-You don't believe me.

-Goodness, Gene.

Do you believe me or not?

Gene, come on.

Do you believe me or not?

I mean, you-- you just--

you must know how his sounds.

I didn't make it up!

I know what I saw!

I'm sorry,

but I know what I saw.

Gene, stop.

I'm not makin' this up.

I promise you--

I-- it's fine.

I believe you. Okay?

I believe you.

I'll check with the OSS.

See if they have anything

on him.

For you. Okay?

Fine.

Thank you.

I guess

I should check on Viktor.

Why?

Keep your enemies closer, right?

And you made an a*s of yourself.

I'm so sorry about all of that.

He's become fixated on you.

Paranoid even.

He doesn't seem well.

He's not.

I'm afraid he's goin' to

do something irrational.

I just don't understand it.

Why would he say these things

about you?

It's hard for anyone to be

themselves in a time of w*r.

It is, isn't it?

Yes, that's right.

He's been snooping around

as well.

I think there's reason

to believe

that he has more information

than he's leading on.

Understood.

Penny, I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

Gene, that was OSS.

I brought up Viktor.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah, yes.

I just, um...

There's a prisoner

at the field office.

He may have information

on Viktor.

- Oh.

- So...

Should I go in and talk to him?

No, no, it's okay. I got it.

I just need to

grab my gloves real quick.

Who are you meeting?

Who are you meeting?

Where are the files?

- Where, you piece of sh*t?

- Sergeant!

Can't you see he's had enough?

- But ma'am, I was told--

- Out!

- Ma'am, I was told to--

- Now!

n*zi scumbag. Traitor.

I have to apologize

on behalf of the sergeant.

He's...

Well, he went through a lot

over the last w*r.

And I think it's made him

a bit of a sadist.

But now that he's gone,

and we're alone,

you and I can have a chat.

Exactly what are you doing?

Nothin'.

Doesn't seem nothing.

Yeah, well, what is it you said?

Everything's not as it seems.

Sorry to keep you waiting

all day.

That's all right.

I kept busy.

Still.

Gave me a chance to spend

some time down around the water.

Glad something good came of it.

A funny thing, too.

I actually saw a sailboat

headin' inland,

right up along the coastline.

Right by the cliff face.

Aren't there a lot of sailors

around here?

Sure.

Really not be sailin'

this time of year.

Especially not in that area.

I'm not sayin' nothin'

about a guest,

but Viktor's truck was

gone today,

so maybe you know something.

Figure I'll ask around

a bit about it.

See if I can find out

who it was.

Hmm.

sh*t!

Hello?

God dammit!

Gene.

Hi.

You're back.

- Yeah, sorry.

I-- I thought you were asleep.

Didn't wanna wake you.

Is something wrong?

I saw lights.

I saw a flashing light

out in the distance.

Looks like someone was signalin'

or somethin'.

I-- I can't make sense of it.

But I think it's German.

It's about meeting someone.

Does Jock speak German?

No.

Well, you know

who probably does.

Right, um...

Okay, uh...

What?

What I'm about to tell you

is highly classified

and cannot be repeated.

I spoke with headquarters.

A few days ago,

documentation regarding

the Allied invasion of Europe

was compromised.

The OSS intercepted

a coded message

from a spy trying to

get the information

out of the country.

They traced it back to within

a few miles of us.

I know.

What do you mean you know?

Um, I just mean that

this is whAT I've been trying

to tell you, Penny,

about not trusting Viktor.

Right.

I just can't believe it.

Well, at least this tells us

he's meeting them and soon.

SO...

Let's go find him then.

No, no. Wait, wait.

I-- I-- I really think...

I think it's best

that we bide our time.

Why?

Well, my orders were to see

who else is involved.

We could potentially uncover

a much bigger ring here.

What about Bob and Maude?

Do we try and warn them?

That could put them in danger.

I think for now

this needs to remain between us.

The phones are down anyway.

-What?

-The lines are cut.

- Where's your g*n?

- He took it.

I don't know when,

but it's gone.

What about Bob's shotgun?

He has that, too.

Well, I guess we'll need to keep

our wits about us

until we can figure this out.

So we act normal?

Like nothing is wrong.

Where's Bob and Maude?

Are they back yet?

Fog must have kept them

in the city.

They should be back

any time now.

No need to worry just yet.

Have you seen him?

He's outside, chopping wood.

How long ago was that?

10 minutes ago maybe.

It's awfully quiet out there.

Maybe you should

go check on him.

There you are.

Was someone looking for me?

Penny said

you were chopping wood.

Yeah.

Trying to find the axe.

You mean this one?

Yeah.

Hiding in the shadows.

You're pretty good with that.

Did you come here

just to keep an eye on me,

or you going to help?

About yesterday.

I'm sorry about all that.

I don't know what got into me.

Must be all this fresh air.

Perhaps it's battle fatigue.

Or just maybe, you know,

general

anti-immigrant resentment.

May I ask you

a personal question?

What are your views on fascism?

Excuse me?

Are you fond of it?

No.

Not very fond.

Nothing to relate to?

Hard to find common ground

with people who tried

to k*ll you.

k*lled your friends.

Maybe even your family.

Don't you think?

I feel my view

should be very clear.

Not very fond.

Oh, there you two are.

I was wondering how long

you two would be out there.

I'm making partridge for us.

Maude says it's your favorite,

Viktor?

Oh, how kind of you.

Yes.

Please excuse me for a moment.

How did it go?

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know.

Uh, just felt like he was on--

You wait here.

I'll-- I'll get that.

Morning, ma'am.

I'm Sergeant Milne.

Is Bob here?

Uh, no, not at the moment.

C-- can I help you?

I'm afraid I'm not here

with very good news.

It's Jock and Jocelyn.

They were found dead earlier

this morning by the cliffs.

But something

doesn't add up here.

It just doesn't make any sense.

And I did see some lights

flashing around up here

last night, too.

You ask me,

something's not ringing true.

My God. Um...

Hey, there's a policeman

at the door.

He's asking for Uncle Bob.

They found

Jock and Jocelyn's bodies.

Oh, my God.

Look, it's fine. It's fine.

Everything will be fine.

Okay.

Shouldn't take long.

Are you gonna tell them

about Viktor?

Yes, this changes things.

We need to tell them

what we know.

I feel awful.

Maybe we could have saved them

from that monster.

Penny, no, no, no.

This isn't your fault.

You couldn't know he would

do something like this.

PENNY;

I better go.

The officer is waiting.

Penny go?

Yeah, she went to

help a friend of Bob's.

Still no sign of Bob and Maude?

No.

So it's just us now.

Gene.

Penny.

I thought you were...

Oh, my God.

That's Officer Milne.

Viktor.

I'm so sorry, Gene.

I should have trusted you.

He had those hidden

in the barn.

What do we do now?

You were right.

We need the State Guard.

You keep these safe.

I'm heading into town.

Gene!

Help!

Gene!

Help!

Help!

Gene!

Who are you?

Really?

At least tell me

why you're doin' this.

Doing what?

Destroying people's lives.

Why would you do this

to this family?

To Penny?

What's the point?

You seem to already know

what I am.

A spy.

For the British SOE.

You really expect me

to believe that?

No.

Even if you did, it's too late.

Why?

What aren't you telling me?

Stay quiet.

Penny.

I'm so sorry

that we didn't get back.

We-- we had to stay the night

in town after the auction

because there was so much fog.

That's okay. Um...

I'm sorry, I d--

I don't know how to tell you.

You see, Gene. Sit down.

L-- look,

something's happened and...

Gene, I said sit down.

We spoke with Penny.

It's time we have a little talk.

Um, Gene.

Bob and I need to talk to you

about Penny.

And your feelings for her.

Do you truly love her

with your whole heart and soul?

Without condition?

That's what we need to know.

Yes, ma'am, of course.

And you would do anything

for her?

And her family?

Uh, I'm sorry.

What are you sayin'?

Uh, Maude.

Gene, are you familiar

with the term pietas?

It means a commitment,

a duty to one's family

and ancestors.

And in some cultures,

especially ours,

it is seen as a very important

responsibility.

And if you're to

join our family,

it needs to mean something

to you as well.

Gene, what do you know

of the German-American Bund?

Just that they were shuttered

before the w*r.

Well, officially.

But there are some who fight on

for the cause.

You mean fascism?

Oh.

We admit it does have

a nasty ring to it these days.

Yeah, because it should.

No, but, Gene, it's about

so much more than that.

It's a system that promises to

restore what we've lost,

to build something greater.

It's about preserving

an elevated way of life.

You're wasting your time.

I told you he doesn't have

the spine for it.

Gene, do you know that I fought

against Fritz Kuhn in France?

I fought against him.

And he's a good man.

He's a great man.

He's a man

with the future in his eyes.

Are you interested

in the future?

The United States went west.

The Axis is going east.

The Axis is gonna win the w*r.

Do you understand that?

It's the way things are

in nature.

You're a part of this.

And you can be, too.

You can be a part of history.

The Bund is open to all,

provided you are sincere

and of good character.

I know you are

all of these things, Gene.

Please don't tell me

that I have overestimated

your commitment to Penny

and everything she believes in.

Penny?

Our beautiful Penny.

From the time she was small,

when her mother proved unworthy,

we undertook her education

on things moral,

spiritual, physical,

intellectual.

Some people

just don't have what it takes.

Gene, I see your pain.

I see your struggle with shame

and indecision.

And you fought in that w*r,

you sacrificed so much in--

Maude, stop beating it to death.

No, this is your time

to find your courage.

There's a place for you here.

Rise up and become the hero

of your own journey.

Oh, stop beating it to death!

You made your choice!

You're not man enough.

Yeah, run away, you coward.

What did I tell you?

What did I tell you?

Quinn, thank God you're here.

Penny, you're back.

Look, I don't know

what's goin' on here,

but it's-- it's--

it's Bob and Maude,

and they're-- and they're...

That's him.

Collins, Quinn,

that's Gene Weber.

- That's the spy.

- Oh, no.

Captain, she was right.

I found Officer Milne's body.

Hold it, Gene!

You better stay right there.

Listen, son, keep calm.

Don't do anything stupid.

It's time you go quietly.

I'm being set up.

Quinn, you know me.

You know the OSS sent me here

to investigate.

I don't know what she told you,

but listen to me.

You know who I am.

We know your cover story.

The FBI's been in contact

with the OSS.

They don't know who you are

or who McVean is.

Is he your n*zi contact?

- Penny, no.

- Penny, no

Gene, has anything you've said

been true?

Get off me! Get off me!

- Penny!

- Collins!

Penny! Penny! Penny!

Get into the truck, boys.

Come on. Let's go.

I need to get this down to HQ.

Actually, OSS wants these back.

I've been ordered to deliver

them to Washington immediately.

You lock him up.

Continue the investigation.

Certainly.

Thank you, Quinn.

I'm eager to get these into

safe hands.

Good luck.

That didn't go as planned.

Darling, are you all right?

I thought for sure

he was the one.

He made his choice.

I'm so sorry that his heart

wasn't pure enough.

I loved him.

It's all right. It's all right.

The cause comes first.

Of course.

It wasn't meant to be.

I've been in contact

with our German friends.

They'll be here soon to make

the transaction.

I'll deal with him.

Pack your things

and head to the lodge.

You'll be safe there.

Viktor can sail me

to the rendezvous point.

If we hurry, we can still make

the handoff.

Never mind him.

I couldn't be more proud of you.

How you feeling, son?

You all right?

Sorry about all that.

Did what we had to to make sure

you got out of there

in one piece.

Luckily, Viktor had his people

radio us just in time.

Turns out

he was workin' undercover.

Yeah, I didn't believe it myself

at first.

But OSS confirmed this morning.

He saved your life.

So where are you taking me?

Back to headquarters.

McVean wants to bring you in

for a debriefing.

What about the files?

The whole mission?

Viktor took care of that.

He found the real documents

hidden somewhere in the barn.

Swapped them out for fake ones.

Bob was using his paintings

as a way to communicate with

his n*zi cohorts.

Evasion points, the whole deal.

You're just gonna let

Bob and Maude get away with it?

Of course not.

My men are working with OSS

as we speak.

Should be takin' 'em down

shortly

before they reach their lodge

for rendezvous.

We've got reports of a sailboat

off the coast.

Viktor's tied up right now.

He's a sitting duck until then.

We have to go back.

Gene, you did good.

But for now, your job here

is done.

Just sit tight.

And don't worry.

Your fiance's gonna answer

for what she did.

We'll make sure of it.

Wouldn't happen to have

a cigarette.

A light?

Gene!

Stop the truck!

Stay back!

Take it easy now, son.

We can't let it end like this.

I told you

it's being taken care of.

We can't let it end this way!

Let me go back.

Please, let me go back.

Move.

Think you're real sneaky, huh?

You really think I didn't know

that you've been up there

on the radio

in the dead of night?

I was only trying

to reach my family.

You're going to sail me

to my rendezvous point,

or I promise you the Gestapo

will reach your family

before you ever do.

Keep movin'. Almost there.

Penny, let him go.

If he dies, so does your alibi.

He's the only one

who can vouch for you.

Penny, listen to me.

Drop the g*n!

This isn't you. Listen to me.

You have no idea who I am.

Drop the g*n!

Okay.

Okay.

How can you do this?

I just don't understand.

Because I believe in it!

I want what's best

for the people of this country!

What has the government

given us?

So many young lives lost at w*r?

Who really is the enemy?

Bob and Maude.

What?

They k*lled your mother, Penny.

I'm sorry.

You have no idea

what you're talking about.

Penny, wait. Just hang on, okay?

Listen, Penny, listen to me.

Put the g*n down. Let him go.

It's not too late. Please.

Penny, I can help you.

I really do love you.

I loved you.

Hey, you okay?

Hey.

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna need help.

Hang in there. Here.

Go.

Penny?

I can't believe we have to run

from our homes like refugees.

-Calm down.

-Bob.

We'll be safe at the lodge

before you know it.

- Bob, hurry!

- Sir!

- Freeze!

- Oh.

Penny.

I sometimes have nightmares

that the Germans captured you

and put you in a camp.

Sometimes worse.

Sometimes in the dreams,

I'm screaming for you

to do whatever it is

you need to do.

To join them.

To do what you have to do

to stay alive.

We had our suspicions

about the Duncolms,

but given Penny's place

in the OSS,

it was a dangerous claim.

And unfortunately,

you were our only way to

find out the truth.

It takes a certain type of

person to do that.

To live a lie,

day in, day out.

I can only imagine

the sense of betrayal

you must feel.

Obviously, we're

sweeping this entire ordeal

under the rug.

You'll have to comply with

the official story, of course.

You served your country well.

You should be proud.

From what we can surmise,

Bob was mapping

the surrounding area

for potential invasion sites.

Guess he figured paintings

would be less suspicious

than photographs.

I suppose he was right.

If there's ever anything

we can do...

There is.

A very brave gentleman I know,

his family is trapped overseas.

He saved my life.

We'll do what we can.
