Masterman: Real or not, we know the Luftwaffe has been sent to bomb convoys that didn’t exist.
Sarah: The Nazis are calling him their “Vertrauensmann” ...the confidence man.
Harris: Or the con man. Does he want to make us think that he is incompetent, so we ignore him, treat him lightly until-
Torre: - until purely by accident, Juan’s fake sub-agent William Gerbers reported that-
Gerbers: -a convoy of ships are leaving Liverpool for Malta.
Torre: Another completely made-up story by Juan to distract the Germans. But a convoy of ships really was leaving for Malta. When you make up enough lies, there is a risk of telling the truth. MI5 panics!
Juan: Ships leaving for Malta!
Harris: (On the phone.) Ships leaving for Malta?
Federico: Sending U-boats to attack convoy.
Harris: U-boats- holy shit. Spies!
(Music Starts.)
Masterman: Here’s a message from the Enigma code breakers. This new “super spy”, Arabel. They believe he poses as...a Spanish chicken farmer?
Harris: (Putting down the phone.) Holy shit. Arabel can’t be...Juan Pujol?
