Scotland
Poulsson, how would you like a trip to Rjukan?
A group of five, drop over the plateau to set up a base-
-which I want you to lead.
Alright. When do we leave?
When we have found the rest.
Welcome to Vemork, Mr Director.
Good morning. Could I speak to you in my office, Brun?
-Tone Jørgensen. Welcome. -Pleased to meet you.
Close the door, please.
When it comes to the heavy water... I read through the reports.
What do you mean by "foam formation"?
Problems with the intake water.
People in Oslo talk about sabotage.
We'll double the guards and register everyone.
And I would like to fire...
Danielsen.
There was a lot of foam yesterday. Danielsen was alone.
Will you let him know?
-It might not be him. -No?
I found a bottle in the bin by the stairs yesterday.
Castor oil. It could be people-
-from the day shift, the night shift or the day before.
Foam formation doesn't happen straight away.
Good. That's all.
I still want Danielsen to leave. As a warning to the guilty.
We are weeks behind on the delivery.
You travel to Berlin tomorrow with the heavy water.
It's important we please the Germans.
-Could you increase the production? -Yes, we can.
Kaiser Wilhelm Institute Berlin -It would be more expensive. -No problem.
We need everything we can get.
Professor Heisenberg. Engineer Brun.
He's here with the heavy water.
Nice to meet you. Thank you. It's of great help.
It would be interesting to see how it's used.
Of course, but we must keep some things secret.
Follow me, please. Mr Heisenberg.
-Did you have a nice journey? -Yes.
Slowly.
Stop.
Have you seen this? Norway sent more than we ordered.
That's fantastic.
What would he say if he saw us here?
He would tell us what we have forgotten.
-Have we forgotten anything? -No.
Still, many of the best are gone.
We have been weakened.
Have you decided about the invitation?
-Copenhagen? -Yes. Bohr is still at his institute.
-I will go there for the lecture. -Good.
"In support of the Germany-Denmark cooperation and relations."
-Aren't you busy with the reactor? -It's a lecture.
We must maintain the relations to other countries.
We must?
Or is it more important for you to meet Bohr?
-We weren't to mention him. -What do you want to discuss?
If it were to happen, the good old days.
Science, music, families...
-Life. -Mr Heisenberg...
You signed a confidentiality clause.
You can't talk about what we do here.
Denmark is occupied by Germany.
Don't pretend to be stupid!
Everyone knows Bohr cooperates with the Brits.
I'll get you a passport.
Afterwards you must tell me how far-
-the allies' nuclear research has come.
Espionage?
No. It falls under the category "good old days".
Music, life, family and science.
And while you are there, bring back some good bacon.
Have a nice day.
Yes...
Einar Skinnarland?
Leif Tronstad. Please sit.
-You live at Rjukan? -Yes.
And work at Vemork?
I want you to go back again. We need people to report back.
You work there, know the people, shifts and routines.
-What for? -Intelligence for us and the Brits.
Everything you can get. You'll get a radio to communicate with us.
I just arrived here.
-What did you tell the foreman? -That I took a week's holiday.
Then let's say you'll be back on Monday.
I won't make it.
Have you parachuted before?
Niels Bohr's residence Copenhagen
I don't believe it...
The mission has three parts.
Find a landing spot, prepare it, lead the Brits to the target.
In addition feed weather forecasts to London,-
-German movements, transport routes and the factory security.
-We'll need weapons. -You'll get pistols.
Stengun and Handy Gun. The rest we leave to the Brits.
The group will be called Grouse and is strictly confidential.
We'll be called "grouse"? Why not something more masculine?
Falcon or something.
-Moose. -Shark.
You'll be called Grouse.
Is it just the four of us?
-What? -Nothing.
We were just talking about you. Knut Haukelid, as you all know.
-To the war. -Cheers.
-Cheers.
-How long have you been here? -I just arrived.
-How are the children? -Good.
Asleep I hope. The nanny went-
-to listen to Hitler's speech.
-How was it? -Nice.
People in Denmark seem happy. They go for strolls and go dancing.
-Did you meet Bohr? -Yes.
He has his own little park.
Yes... And he maintains it well.
For dinner we had roast pork. He read, and I played the piano.
Did you get a chance to talk?
He said I should quit.
-He doesn't understand. -What do you mean?
He thinks I'm on the wrong side in the war. He doesn't understand.
When Germany wins, this will blow over, right?
But will it then be our Germany?
I thought it was only something children did.
Ending a friendship like that.
Okay, Claus. Ready for a new record?
Now.
Two, four, five...
Six seconds.
Two seconds better than last time.
The Skoland marshes by the road from the Møsvatn dam to Rauland.
-There's a stretch of 1200 metres. -That should be enough for a glider.
Get help!
Why did you fire Danielsen?
That's Astrid's husband.
She serves our food.
We played cards today and almost had a conversation.
Well, I spoke, and she said "yes, ma'am, "no ma'am".
"King beats queen, ma'am." Until Brun showed up and said-
-that her husband had been fired.
-Why did you do that? -That's none of your business.
All right then.
We are finished eating, thank you.
Was something wrong? Would you like something else?
No, we just want more people to go to bed on full stomachs.
Take the rest with you.
Am I right, dear?
Thank you.
Thank you so much.
It takes more than that to buy off a fired employee.
I never said I was important.
Ellen?
Come.
Find a good landing spot not too far from the road.
If not, we'll just carry them.
Are you afraid?
We'll be fine.
Hardangervidda 80 km west of planned drop spot
Where are we?
I don't know.
We're supposed to go east.
-How many containers are missing? -Two.
We need both of them.
These containers...
If the weather is good, we'll pull them a couple of kilometres.
If the weather is bad, we'll do shorter stretches.
It'll be hard, but we'll manage.
-How will they get out? -Who? The Englishmen?
If they get in, they need to get out.
-They are walking to Sweden. -Exactly.
41 uniformed soldiers will be walking 300 kilometres in deep snow-
-without skis and with the Germans behind them.
The plan is not for them to make it.
The landing spot.
In from the south, torches 100 metres apart,-
The tracker there.
They are on their way. They took off two minutes ago.
-Time? -They'll be here in two hours.
-What about the weather? -Visibility of 700 metres.
Let's go. You keep them informed. We'll take the torches. Come on.
What is this?
I wanted to find out how far the allies' nuclear programme had come.
By showing them everything we have?
This is just a small part.
Don't you think they know nuclear physicists-
-are gathered here and paid by the Heereswaffenamt?
Diebner will take over the uranium programme.
-Diebner? -Yes.
Then there will be no results. As simple as that.
America has Einstein and Oppenheimer, to name a few.
England has Schrödinger and maybe Bohr.
Germany has Heisenberg. We are all working on the same thing.
Only Germany prefers mediocrity-
-because the average scientist Diebner,-
-a pragmatist without an in-depth knowledge of theory,-
-assumes a leading position.
This will make Germany a desert, quite literally.
We can't afford any more mistakes.
I know.
Can you hear something?
What's happening?
-There's no contact. -None?
They should have been here by now.
Major Decker.
What is the Gestapo doing here?
We heard another glider had crashed.
A few kilometres north-east of here.
We want to know what their mission was.
-What have you got to report? -Englishmen.
Four dead, twelve survivors.
What do you want us to do with them?
Shoot them.
Orders from the Führer. All soldiers on special missions are to be shot.
We can't just execute them.
All right.
Who should report that you didn't follow the Führer's orders? You or me?
