Episode #1.5 (2017)

Lars Eidinger: Dr Oskar Huth

Quotes 

• Dr. Oskar Huth : Arrest me, Archer, for when Kellermann arrives. I'll wager he has no proof you helped the King escape. You can be a hero, too. Do it. You have a son to live for. All I have is a father I hate. The pig has won. So have the army. They can use the attack as a pretext for martial law across the entire occupied region now. But the real winner is Mayhew. He got the Americans fighting. They've tasted blood, and mark my words, they will build this bomb and the Reich will be finished. Mayhew's only false step was allowing the King to get caught up in it.

  Douglas Archer : That wasn't an accident. The King was never meant to escape. He was infirm. He would have cut a pathetic figure in Washington or anywhere else. Britain would have looked washed up. Instead he dies a hero, in the same operation as brave Americans. I bet in the next few days, the Queen and the Princesses will be on a ship from New Zealand for Washington to represent us. That's the way Mayhew works. The long game.

  Dr. Oskar Huth : Hmm. Well then, with men like that, how did you ever lose the war?

  Douglas Archer : Perhaps we didn't. Just the battle.
