Fog of War

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 war.

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 fiancé 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 fiancé 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 fiancé?

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 fiancée 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 war.

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 fiancée 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 war.

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 fiancé.

The war 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.
