living in that very loch.

Now, always there've been tales

of sightings of such a creature...

...sometimes at sea,

but more often in a loch.

When I was a boy...

...how I longed to see that monster.

When I was a boy...

...terrible times they were.

Boys and girls, wives and mothers

all over the world...

...left without the man of the house.

They all went off to war,

and many never came back.

We're a tiny village

in the wilds of Scotland...

...but 20 men we lost.

But maybe I'm boring you

with my story.

No. No, please. Don't stop.

Okay, if you insist.

Angus was just like

every other wee boy.

He wanted his daddy home again.

But he also had another problem.

Crusoe, you ate it all.

Come out. You'll be sick.

That's a good boy.

I'm sorry for grabbing.

You're all dried up.

You'll like this.

That's better, eh?

-Look at that.

-Oh, yeah.

Go in there.

Oh, another five-pounder.

Oh, you beauty.

-Aye.

-That takes care of my lunch.

What are they doing

up on that hill?

It's a secret mission.

They're after submarines.

Well, if it's secret,

how do you know about it?

-I have my ways, my contacts.

-Aye.

Well, make contact with them oars.

Pull us over some more fish.

Right. Salute.

Down.

Map, sir?

-Perfect.

-It's an amazing view, sir.

HMS Royal Oak was lost

to a German U-boat in Scapa Flow...

...not a hundred miles from this spot.

Eight hundred and thirty-three

sailors lost.

We're not here for the scenery,

Wormsley.

Yes, sir.

Now, make no mistake...

...we are on the front line here.

Now, I have studied

the German advance.

If they invade,

they will come right through here.

This is the deepest loch in Scotland,

perfect for their troopships.

But they will send submarines first

for reconnaissance.

Won't the steel net stop them, sir?

The submarine net will be down...

...to permit passage

by routine marine traffic...

...and to let their subs in.

And then we will raise the net...

...and we will destroy them.

I wish I could swim like you.

I wish I wasn't so afraid.

Come on! Stop!

What the hell

you think you're doing?

-What's going on?

-Keep your hands off!

You're not fit to touch it.

Oh, no.

I better go. Stay out of trouble.

Look where you're going.

Where'd you learn to drive,

in the Dodgems?

Look, there's a rear-vision mirror.

Know what that's for?

-That's to look where you're going.

-It was an accident, I assure you.

All right, Clyde. That's enough.

That's a lovely bit of meat there.

Who's this?

There he goes.

Did you see all those jeeps and

lorries going up and down the hill?

You're late.

And that is very hush-hush.

Aye. It's a secret mission,

that's what I hear. Top secret.
