:07:03
January this year, dropped into
Kiev with 167 surviving in unit,

:07:08
to get two cut-off regiments
out of Russia.

:07:11
Oberst Kurt Steiner.
:07:13
And there's the language?
:07:16
Educated in England.
:07:22
(Sirens start wailing)
:07:29
Third time in the last month,
:07:32
despite Goering's
personal guarantee.

:07:39
Are you familiar
with the works of Jung, Karl?

:07:42
I am aware of the works of Jung,
not familiar, Herr Oberst.

:07:46
A very great thinker.
A rational man.

:07:51
And yet he speaks of something
called synchronicity -

:07:54
events having
a coincidence in time,

:07:57
creating the feeling that
a deeper motivation is involved.

:08:01
-Ja, I understand that, sir.
- Take this affair.

:08:05
The Führer makes
the absurd suggestion

:08:09
that we abduct Churchill.
:08:11
We have to make a worthless
report on the prospects.

:08:15
And then suddenly, synchronicity
rears its disturbing head.

:08:19
Ja. I see.
:08:20
We receive a routine report
with a brief notation

:08:24
that next month, after visiting
a local bomber command,

:08:28
Churchill will spend
a weekend in a country manor

:08:31
less than seven miles
from a deserted coastline.

:08:35
At any other time,
this report would mean nothing.

:08:39
At this particular time,
:08:40
and in that particular file...
:08:43
(Distant explosions)
:08:46
it becomes a circumstance
which titillates.

:08:50
A coincidence to...tease us.
:08:53
(Explosion nearby)
:08:55
Surely Herr Oberst doesn't
believe it can be carried off.
