Foyles War - S03E01 - The French Drop Subtitles

00:00:03,340 --> 00:00:05,AEROPLANE ENGINE
C'est l'Anglais.

00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:13,Merde! Il est alle trop loin.

00:00:16,260 --> 00:00:17,PANICKED CHIRPING

00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:38,P***n!

00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:32,Good morning.
Here to see Commander Howard.

00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:35,Mr Foyle? The Commander
sends his apologies.

00:02:35,220 --> 00:02:37,He's still in a meeting.
Take a seat.

00:02:37,220 --> 00:02:38,Thank you.

00:02:45,340 --> 00:02:48,We need a ship.
I don't care what sort of ship.

00:02:48,220 --> 00:02:50,How else ** I to get my agents
into Brittany?

00:02:50,980 --> 00:02:53,Air drops would be more effective.

00:02:53,700 --> 00:02:57,All the Special Duty flights
are reserved by the Secret
Intelligence Services.

00:02:57,860 --> 00:03:01,We were here first.
Why should we give any more flights,

00:03:01,380 --> 00:03:03,any more fuel, any more men,

00:03:03,460 --> 00:03:06,when, after seven months,
you've nothing to show for it?

00:03:06,580 --> 00:03:10,If you didn't block our operations,
we would have made more progress.

00:03:10,700 --> 00:03:15,My view of the Special
Operations Executive
has been clear from the start.

00:03:15,100 --> 00:03:19,A bunch of upstarts and amateurs
wasting valuable time and resources.

00:03:19,180 --> 00:03:21,We are aware -
Requests for ships,

00:03:21,100 --> 00:03:25,planes, receiving stations and the
rest of it are simply deplorable,

00:03:25,180 --> 00:03:27,given the total lack of results.
We've had results.

00:03:27,860 --> 00:03:30,We made contact with
the Polish Home Army. And lost it.

00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:34,Your two agents have vanished.
Who told you that?

00:03:34,300 --> 00:03:36,Two agents lost in Poland,

00:03:36,740 --> 00:03:39,another in Czechoslovakia.

00:03:39,460 --> 00:03:42,You're spying on us.
You have no right -

00:03:42,060 --> 00:03:44,Gentlemen, please,
this is going nowhere.

00:03:44,940 --> 00:03:47,Commander Howard?

00:03:47,020 --> 00:03:50,We have a French training ship
that might fit the bill, sir.

00:03:50,660 --> 00:03:53,A 60-foot yawl.
She's lying idle in Portsmouth.

00:03:53,780 --> 00:03:56,Send me the details
and I'll pass them on.

00:03:56,420 --> 00:03:58,Sir Giles?

00:03:58,460 --> 00:04:00,One more mistake,

00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:03,I'll prove they should have listened
to me in the first place.

00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:09,Christopher.

00:04:09,100 --> 00:04:10,Come on up.

00:04:10,740 --> 00:04:13,I'm so sorry
to have kept you waiting.

00:04:13,260 --> 00:04:14,Charles.

00:04:15,700 --> 00:04:20,It's been a bloody day, departmental
infighting. You wouldn't believe it.

00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:23,It's hard to believe
we're all on the same side.

00:04:24,100 --> 00:04:25,How's Andrew?

00:04:25,740 --> 00:04:27,He's very well, thank God.

00:04:27,820 --> 00:04:32,I keep meaning to write to him, see
him, drop him a fiver in the post.

00:04:32,220 --> 00:04:34,I'm not much of an uncle.

00:04:35,420 --> 00:04:37,The only one he's g***t.

00:04:37,300 --> 00:04:38,Here.

00:04:38,940 --> 00:04:41,I may be able to help you.

00:04:41,180 --> 00:04:42,I've been putting the word out.

00:04:42,900 --> 00:04:44,I may have something for you.
Go on.

00:04:44,900 --> 00:04:47,It would mean moving to Liverpool.

00:04:47,100 --> 00:04:48,Go on.

00:04:48,900 --> 00:04:51,Reporting to
Admiral Sir Percy Noble.

00:04:51,380 --> 00:04:53,He's a good man.

00:04:53,140 --> 00:04:54,Popular. Clever.

00:04:54,940 --> 00:04:58,Heading up this Western Approaches
Command Centre on the docks.

00:04:58,820 --> 00:05:01,He's g***t a huge intelligence
operation up there.

00:05:01,740 --> 00:05:03,And he'll see me?

00:05:03,420 --> 00:05:05,With my recommendation.
Thank you.

00:05:05,580 --> 00:05:07,It couldn't be more important.

00:05:07,660 --> 00:05:10,If we lose much more shipping,
we'll all starve to death.

00:05:10,740 --> 00:05:13,Well...I want to help.

00:05:13,740 --> 00:05:16,I know, but there is one thing I...

00:05:16,220 --> 00:05:18,I have to ask you this.

00:05:18,100 --> 00:05:20,You're doing a bloody good job
where you are.

00:05:20,940 --> 00:05:23,Everyone speaks very highly of you.

00:05:23,260 --> 00:05:25,Why are you still so determined
to leave?

00:05:26,860 --> 00:05:28,Andrew flies Spitfires.

00:05:28,900 --> 00:05:31,I know the work you're doing here.

00:05:31,100 --> 00:05:34,This morning,
I arrest a man for speculating

00:05:34,220 --> 00:05:37,in breach
of the 1939 Prices Of Goods Act,

00:05:37,140 --> 00:05:40,selling batteries
at ten pence ha'penny a time.

00:05:42,660 --> 00:05:45,I'd better speak to Sir Percy.
Thank you.

00:05:53,740 --> 00:05:55,SAM: Everything all right, sir?

00:05:55,820 --> 00:05:57,I think so.

00:05:57,460 --> 00:05:59,You're not really planning to leave?

00:05:59,820 --> 00:06:01,Where did you get that from?

00:06:01,860 --> 00:06:03,You can't leave the Force, sir.

00:06:03,900 --> 00:06:06,I mean, what would I do without you?

00:06:06,300 --> 00:06:09,You'll easily find another job.
It wouldn't be the same.

00:06:12,300 --> 00:06:15,You could take me with you,
make me an honorary Wren.

00:06:18,260 --> 00:06:20,Listen, nothing's been decided yet.

00:06:20,660 --> 00:06:23,Just keep all this under your hat,
you understand?

00:06:23,820 --> 00:06:25,Mum's the word.

00:06:27,660 --> 00:06:29,Morning.
How are you? Well?

00:06:29,260 --> 00:06:30,Fine. Thank you.

00:06:35,500 --> 00:06:37,Good morning. Welcome to St Mary's.

00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:40,Hello. How do you do?

00:06:40,820 --> 00:06:44,Hello. Nice to see you.
How are the family? Are they well?

00:06:48,620 --> 00:06:51,VICAR: Welcome one and all,
both to the old...

00:06:51,540 --> 00:06:53,I need to talk to you, but not now.

00:06:53,660 --> 00:06:57,..and to those new faces
who have recently come amongst us.

00:06:58,300 --> 00:07:02,St Mary's is a very old church
and a draughty one,

00:07:02,300 --> 00:07:04,but we hope you feel at home.

00:07:04,340 --> 00:07:06,We will start with our usual hymn.

00:07:06,780 --> 00:07:08,CONGREGATION RISE

00:07:08,420 --> 00:07:10,# ORGAN INTRODUCTION

00:07:40,300 --> 00:07:42,It's been very nice
to see you again.

00:07:42,620 --> 00:07:44,I hope you'll soon be better.

00:07:44,660 --> 00:07:46,See you soon.

00:07:46,300 --> 00:07:47,Goodbye.

00:07:47,820 --> 00:07:49,Hello, Captain.

00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:52,Very good sermon.
Nice of you to say so, Colonel.

00:07:52,820 --> 00:07:55,Perhaps we'll see you again
next Sunday.

00:07:56,580 --> 00:07:58,We've had some news from France.

00:07:58,700 --> 00:08:00,When?
Last night.

00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:01,Facteur?

00:08:01,740 --> 00:08:03,He's dead.

00:08:03,380 --> 00:08:05,What happened?

00:08:05,060 --> 00:08:08,All that matters
is we keep this to ourselves.

00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:10,If Sir Giles hears so much as a -
Yes, of course.

00:08:11,820 --> 00:08:13,So, what are we going to do?

00:08:15,020 --> 00:08:16,I have an idea.

00:08:16,860 --> 00:08:18,You have too many ideas.

00:08:21,580 --> 00:08:23,Do they know?
Unfortunately, yes.

00:08:25,300 --> 00:08:28,But they only know he was killed.
Nothing more.

00:08:28,220 --> 00:08:30,For the time being.

00:08:31,860 --> 00:08:35,We have a snake in the grass.
Sir Giles virtually boasted of it.

00:08:36,820 --> 00:08:40,But which one of them is it?
Maccoby? Nicholson? Dumont?

00:08:41,420 --> 00:08:45,That's your job, Hilda. I have
to know which one of them it is.

00:08:50,740 --> 00:08:53,OPENS CIGARETTE LIGHTER

00:08:57,460 --> 00:09:00,So, how much longer
are you going to keep me here?

00:09:00,580 --> 00:09:03,I don't know about you, Mr Fenner,
but I've g***t all day.

00:09:03,780 --> 00:09:06,Oh. Well, I've g***t a shop to run.

00:09:06,260 --> 00:09:10,Yes, the shop on Alberry Street.
It's getting to be well known.

00:09:10,300 --> 00:09:12,I like to do my best
by my customers.

00:09:12,500 --> 00:09:14,That's certainly true. Batteries.

00:09:14,820 --> 00:09:17,Razor blades.
Spare parts for radios.

00:09:17,340 --> 00:09:21,Even Thermos flasks.
ONE flask. She had a special permit.

00:09:21,180 --> 00:09:23,Providing you're willing to pay.

00:09:23,020 --> 00:09:25,Look, what is this?

00:09:25,100 --> 00:09:27,It's a penny here
and tuppence there.

00:09:27,540 --> 00:09:30,I mean, things come my way
and I pass 'em on.

00:09:30,260 -->...
