Franz, portrayed by Bartosz Gelner, is devising a new sabotage plan that involves Staszek. But when Staszek is shot, the mission falls into the hands of Tadek, who disguises himself as a mechanic to plant an explosive charge on the battleship. The tension mounts as Wulf, Eva's former lover and a fanatical Nazi, conducts his own investigation, inching closer to uncovering Eva's secrets.
