Talons of the Phoenix

Your cup of coffee, Captain.

Ah. Thank you, Mr. Garver.

Quiet night, sir?

Just the way we like it.

I'm sure our passenger would appreciate

a cup of that coffee as well.

Yes, sir.

Look sharp, gentlemen.

Let's catch up to those escorts, shall we?

- Mr. Pinnetti. - Sir.

Maintain our zigzag,

but prepare to come to a new heading.

Aye, Captain.

Mr. Timmons. Relay word

we're preparing for a starboard bearing.

Aye, sir.

Oh.

Oh, hello.

Mister...

Garver, ma'am.

The ship's cook.

Of course. We met earlier.

I remember now.

How can I help you, Mr. Garver?

I thought you might like a cup of coffee,

or a bite to eat.

I didn't see you in the galley earlier.

You must be famished.

No, thank you. You're very kind.

But I'm not feeling very well right now.

Oh.

Oh, no matter how much I travel,

I just never seem to get the hang of the sea.

I prefer the train, I'm afraid.

If you don't mind me asking, ma'am-

What's a nice girl like me

doing in a place like this?

Well, you are more pleasant cargo

than what we're used to having around here,

if I may say so.

You may.

Torpedo in the water! Starboard side!

- Oh, what was that? - I'm sure it was nothing.

Go back in your cabin and stay there, please.

Was it an explosion?

- I-- - Oh!

Engine room! Engine room!

Damage report.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Let's go, let's go, come on!

Come on, let's go!

Damn it!

Mr. Quinn, get down to the engine room.

I need a damage assessment immediately.

Aye, Captain!

Engine room!

Direct hit!

Torpedo struck us amidship.

We're taking on water.

Passageways three and four are already flooded.

- We're dead in the water. - Mr. Pinnetti,

have the stress flares fired immediately.

- Aye, Captain. - Mr. Timmons,

see to it that the radio man

transmits our coordinates for as long as he can.

Pass the order.

All hands, abandon ship.

Captain.

Ms. LaRue! Ma'am!

We gotta get above deck, now!

Come on!

Have you seen anyone else coming from below?

No!

Get her to the boats.

Yes, sir!

That damn fool's gonna get himself killed.

Help!

Hold on!

Open the door! Come on!

Come on!

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Come on!

Let's go, let's go!

Henry, you're late.

Be early or be late, Katherine, but never be on time.

Oh. Free lessons from the famous spy master,

Henry Tasquer Finn.

How did I ever become so fortunate?

Next lesson...

if you're known for being a famous spy master,

you're not being a very good spy.

Present company excluded.

I heard they threw you a party, Fraulein.

Talk of the black.

Are you still singing for the Nazis? Hm?

- I missed you. - Of course you did.

Well, well.

To business.

You are meeting him tonight, yes?

Yes, at...

- ...at the arranged time. - Change of plans.

I'm meeting him.

You're now the courier.

He doesn't know you. I'm the one--

It's been decided, things are getting risky.

I've organized safe passage for you back to England,

and I'll see you there.

If what you've said is true,

we can't take chances with that information.

Is that why you haven't introduced me to your friends?

Keeping us a secret?

I'm not that kind of girl, you know, Henry.

You keep that sense of humor, kiddo.

It's a long boat ride.

Until then.

You're late.

So glad you could drop in.

Everything's set.

Greta here will be behind the bar tonight,

in case we need another set of eyes.

This seems like an awful lot

for just a simple handoff, isn't it?

- Yeah. - Yeah. What gives?

Do you know something we don't know?

Seems like you're trying to keep us in the dark on purpose.

Who'd you meet?

He could tell you, but then he'd have to kill you.

I'm being serious.

You know I love you, my friend,

but I'm afraid Greta's right.

I would have to kill you.

All is well.

This table is taken.

Who are you?

What is this?

A friend of mine told me to meet you.

Do you have it?

This is not what was arranged.

Relax.

Papers.

Of course.

Let me guess. You're just another

poor fisherman, yeah?

You're a wise man.

Five generations.

Greek.

Drinking with my friend.

Danke.

Have we met?

I don't think so.

I'm very good with faces.

Papers.

Give it to me.

Now!

Go.

Whoa, it's me!

Easy.

Come.

Where's Greta?

Dead.

Well, I hope that information was worth it.

Tell me you got it.

I did indeed.

You good?

Good enough to keep moving.

Where do we go?

To finish the mission, old boy.

I could carry it for you.

You could.

Major Murphy, Lieutenant Kendall.

What's this about, Colonel?

S. S. John Knight. Just sunk.

- Isn't that the boat with-- - Yes, and I don't need

to tell you how vital the information is

that she was carrying.

Survivors, sir?

No word. At least, not yet.

But I have every available asset out there searching.

Do we yet understand why this intel was so critical?

And why it had to be handled in person?

Only that it was too sensitive

to go through normal channels.

Our agent refused to provide details,

and then demanded to be extracted immediately.

Whatever this is, it's big.

Colonel!

We've just decoded this intercept, sir.

Damn it.

The Nazis just captured

a group of passengers from the John Knight.

Good evening, Colonel.

I need a plan, Major.

Drive on.

We don't need a plan, we need a goddamn miracle.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Go, go, go, go, go.

Wake up, wake up! Come on, go, go!

No... no!

No!

No!
