Fuses.
Blasting caps.

Blasting caps.

Calling it off!

- What happened?
- It was my fault.

- I was so sure I had them.
- He has to check first.

It wasn't his fault.
You were too late.

- A lot of stairs.
- That's the least of your problems.

Any questions before we try again?

What's so important about that water?

My famous friend, Niels Bohr.

- Did you just arrive?
- No, I was watching.

I just wanted to be the first to
congratulate. You beat me by 6 years.

- Without you ...
- Nonsense.

The new star is Werner
Heisenberg. I'm so proud of you.

- The whole institute is ecstatic.
- All my thoughts, theories ...

Where should we celebrate? Stockholm is
full of women with Nobel-fever.

I'm going to tell you something
more secret than -

- that an object can be in two
places at the same time.

Women are unpredictable.

Nothing in my research indicates that
a young, beautiful, intelligent woman -

- can't fall for a pale, unhealthy,
and quiet nuclear physicist.

On the contrary. My calculations point
that you can choose from the top drawer.

- Don't forget what I told you. An object
can be in two places at the same time.

No.
Women are unpredictable.

Heisenberg?

I can't stand the coal stench
when I am pregnant.

You shouldn't be pregnant so often.

Hurry up and find the new fuel.

You'll get the future as a belated
wedding gift.

- Thanks.
- Sorry, but what fuel?

Neutrons in a chain reaction.

There's a chain reaction ...
Like a hurricane. Out of control.

- It's the latest within science.
- Yes, she's right.

Politics doesn't really interest me.

It's a disgrace that the world only sees
Germany through these people.

- Himmler isn't so bad.
- What do you mean by that?

Because my mother knows his mother.

Have you noticed that Himmler lacks a chin?

I heard you were offered a professorship
at Columbia.

Yes.
You think I accepted?

I don't know.

My children will
grow up in Germany.

And I can't think without you.

- Are we expecting anyone?
- Himmler's mother, perhaps?

Werner Heisenberg?
Can you come with us?

- Why?
- Now, at once.

I don't understand.

You are to be questioned.

Do you know who I am?
Professor Werner Heisenberg.

I'd rather not arrest you.
Will you come voluntarily?

Is everything all right?

In this letter you refuse to participate
at a conference on Aryan Physics.

It's adequate.
It's adequate.

- So you are against it?
- It lacks important aspects.

In December 1938 you refused to take part
in the Reichpartei-days.

- I am of the opinion ...
- And you refuse to join the NSDAP.

- I am a physicist.
- Who's working against his country.

- That is not true.
- You quote jews and others -

- who actively act against the
national-socialist movement.

- They are recognized scientists ...
- Who betrayed Germany

And you admit
that you refer to them regularly -

- and quote them
in public texts and articles.

"To understand modern physics is
impossible without Albert Einstein."

A jew, as you know.

"Development of quantum physics is mostly
based on the research of Max Born."

Also a jew.

"The solution the Schrödinger equation
describes macroscopic systems" -

- "and therefore possibly
also the universe."

I admit
it's not easy to comprehend.

Your marriage is a sham.

You met in January 1937.
Three weeks later you got engaged.

And on the 29th of April, barely
three months later, you were married.

Until then, you had shown
zero interest in women.

You never had a girlfriend, or a close
relationship to a woman.

Witnesses confirm your
interest in men.

- Especially young men.
- Preposterous.

The 8th of March 1928 in Leipzig.

On a trip to Urbach you slept in
a tent with three young men.

The 24th of June, same year -

- you encouraged the group to jump
naked into the Tegernsee.

- We were boy scouts.
- No, professor.

You are a faggot.

- It's just two months.
- Or just two days.

- I don't want to die.
- Do you think any soldier wants to die?

Herfriede's brother died.
Do you think he planned it?

Why the hell is Germany sending -

- its most imporant
scientist to the trenches?

Come here.

This is ridiculous.

Werner.
Werner!

- Didn't you get the message?
- Message?

This is
professor Heisenberg, you know.

- What's this?
- Read. A moment, please.

Werner, it worked.

Himmler's mother gave him the letter,
and he vouches for you.

Here, for you. Read it now.
A letter from Himmler.

He believes SS was wrong, and that
Germany needs its scientists.

Diebner started a new project
with the support of the government.

It's the biggest
we've ever been part of.

Do you understand what I am saying?

Do you need anything else?

You must be careful.

- Welcome, professor. Weizäcker.
- Mr Diebner.

- Uranium club.
- Yes.

Formal, but relaxed at the same time.

We gathered only the best.
Geiger. Hahn.

Harteck. Stetter.
You know them all.

What's the goal?

A chain reaction.
Energy production from Uranium.

I will have to ask you to sign.
The project is top secret.

Why?

We're under the
control of the Heereswaffenamts.

We get everything we need.
Resources, materials, -

- assistants, anything you desire.

As scientists, we've never
had better conditions than this.

Einstein said: "Fear not if the war
serves science".

- But if science serves the war ...
- Einstein.

Mr Heisenberg, with all due respect ...

We don't want to hear names such as Einstein,
Debye, Herzberg, Schrödinger.

And not Bohr either.

Knowledge is also a chain reaction.
No thought comes out of nothing.

I don't ask you for much.

You will get possibilities and conditions
like no scientist before.

Tell me what you need, and you will get it.
Uranium, cement, graphite.

To build a reactor?

Good. What do we need?

- D2O.
- D2O.

Heavy water?

We need heavy water to start
a potential chain reaction.

Normal water absorbs
too many neutrons.

Then I will get you heavy water.

Come with me.

The problem is, we need a lot.
They only produce it in Norway.

A factory in Norway
produces fertilizer.

The main product is ammonia,
the byproduct is water.

A chemist made coffee with it -

- and realized that it boils
at a higher temperature.

The discovery of heavy water.

How many people know
what one can do with heavy water?

The French, maybe.
Not many.

No-one I know by name.

Good.

Heavy water?
What are the Germans doing with it?

They want a lot, and they pay a lot.

- How soon can we deliver?
- I don't know.

I don't know if we have any.

I can contact Tronstad.
He built the facility.

Get something to eat,
and I'll see you in half an hour.

- Henriksen, a rare sight.
- I happened to be in Trondheim.

I doubt that.

The heavy water, how much can we deliver?

- You built the production.
- And you closed it in August.

- Nothing left?
- Perhaps a few liters in the basement.

- How many?
- No idea. Ask Brun.

How long does it take to resume?
The Germans want it.

- How long?
- Two, three months.

- How much?
- A liter a day, tops.

- Can we increase it?
- Yes, but it'll affect the ammonia.

Good. Then I will pursue with Brun.

Funny experiment, by the way.

- Enjoy your day.
- You too.

- Brun.
- It's Leif.

- Is all well?
- It's more fun with you here.

Henriksen was here.
He was asking about the heavy water.

He wants to resume production.

He wanted to know how much is left
on Vemork. The Germans want it.

I knew the French were interested,
but not the Germans.

- Do you know why?
- No, I am not sure.

Well, so there will be a squabble
for the few liters we do have.

If a neutron is
split from an atom nucleus, -

- the atom sends out more neutrons.

Each of these neutrons can
split more nuclei -

- which again send out
additional neutrons -

- and cause an ever increasing
number of atom splits.

The cleaner the Uranium, the more
effective is the chain reaction.

Apologies, but I still don't see
a practical benefit.

Yes, there's one.

A slow chain reaction creates a
heat producing Uranium machine.

But a slow chain reaction creates
a very effective nuclear explosion.

- How effective?
- Very effective.

Very effective?

It depends on how much Uranium
we're talking about here, correct?

Let's say 100 kg.

100 kg?

At the moment I can only guess,
but 100 kg can -

- possible produce twice
the explosive power.

If U235 gets
hit by a neutron, -

- then we get Uranium-236, releasing
huge amounts of energy.

And then another neutrons ...

- To or three.
- What?

You drew one neutron.
I may be misunderstanding, -

- but it's more correct
to talk about two or three.

The number is decisive.

If you'll permit, may I ...

Go ahead.

When we're only talking about
one neutron, -

- the amount of
freed energy is not very large.

But after two or three neutrons
from the first split -

- can hit new U235-nuclei,
which will also split, -

- it paints a new picture.

To say that a kilogram of Uranium -

- only represents twice the that of
normal explosive, -

- is a serious understatement.

Let's see.
The energy freed by one split -

- is 179MeV

It means that 1 kg enriched uranium
produces the energy of no less than -

- 15 000 tons conventional explosives.

Sorry, but can you ...
Can you repeat that, please?

15 000 tons. I wrote about this
two years ago already.

This bomb ...

Is it possible to build?

I only calculated the energy
that is theoretically freed.

But the answer is: yes, ofcourse.

One just has to know
how such energy is being used.

Very promising.

Allier?

Welcome.
Welcome.

- Good to see you. - The board meeting is not
before next month.

I know, but it is not the board
that sent me.

I've been sent by Deuxième Bureau.

According to our source, heavy water-
is being used in the German arms programme.

We propose you sell
to France instead.

Jean Frédéric Joliot-Curie and
his wife Irène can use the heavy water -

- as moderator in a nuclear reactor.

- To create energy?
- Yes.

We do not know if the Germans have other
plans, we don't intend to wait and see.

- How much will France pay?
- How much are the Germans paying?

- How much and how fast?
- All of it. Now.

We have a deal. You can pay when
you've won the war.

Idiots! Why did nobody notice that
it was loaded onto another plane?

Everything is now in France!
I don't want to be fooled!

Not by the Frenh!
Do you understand? Go away!

- Good morning.
- Good morning.

- Is everything all right?
- Yes.

- With the shipment?
- Yes, yes.

There were some issues, but the situation
in Norway is soon under control.

- Really?
- Yes.

You will get the heavy water.
That is what you need, yes?

Ofcourse.

Good.

Dear everyone,
there will be no class today.

As you've probably heart,
the Germans are in town.

Science is a noble profession.

I've never had any higher ambitions
than wanting to know more.

Ten years ago I didn't know that
neutrons carried -

- an energy of
two million electron volt.

When I found out, I thought: "This is the most
important thing I will ever learn"

But I was wrong. It's probably the
second most important thing.

Are we going to sit here and
calculate equations?

Or are we going out and fight
against those who take what is ours?

Are we going to comply and hope they
will give us something back?

Or will we use our heads and
try to send them home?

Dear students, dear scientists,
dear people ...

The choice is yours.

But remember that what you choose today, -

- will be history in a hundred years.

The choice is yours, and yours ...

Call the Industry Confederation, ask
them to help stop the war actions.

And King should abdicate due
to the situation.

The King is after all the head
of Norway.

Norsk Hydro had for several years a
larger budget than Norway's GDP.

The confederation should ask the king
to abdicate for the sake of Norway.

All right.

We'll increase production of heavy water.

Negotiations are taking
place with I.G. Farben.

- Germany?
- Do you mind?

No.

The Germans are constantly sending
people, from researchers to generals.

- What are they asking about?
- They want to expand Herøya.

And multiply the aluminum production.
Then it's the heavy water.

They are ordering more cells.

They want to quintuple the
production and have me go to Berlin.

Suddenly everything is urgent.

I've alerted London. Gestapo is
about to blow the whole group.

They took a student yesterday.
Interrogated and then shot him.

Did he break? Did he give any names?

I don't know.

- So what do we do?
- I'll go to London.

Will contact SIS and SOE and tell
them what's going on.

You'll go back to the factory
and do everything as per usual.

Sorry, I'll phone you back later.

I heard you paid Quisling and
Nasjonal Samling 25 000 kroner.

- We need calm workers.
- You're right about that.

The world can't stop due to an
occupation and change of government.

- Do you have a moment?
- Yes.

- How are the negotations?
- They want to buy.

- I am waiting for the board's approval.
- That's the problem.

Germany, France, Norway. Everyone at war.
They won't make up their minds.

Decisions regarding orders should
perhaps be local.

Rjukan needs a new boss.

One that knows what's going on, and
that can pay attention to production.

Wouldn't that be fun?

Twenty two people for dinner on Saturday.

It was difficult to get good food,
but we'll have three nice dishes.

It'll be wonderful to be visited
by friends in these strange times.

Yes.

What is it?

I've been asked to take more responsibility
on Rjukan and Vemork.

- And that means?
- That I should be closer for a while.

- You?
- We.

- You mean move?
- Yes.

- When?
- In a week.

- 22 bedrooms?
- Yes, I told you it's large.

It's just the two of us.

Will the new director live in the
baracks because he is childless?

- You will enjoy it here.
-We are going to enjoy it here.

Thank you.

Good day.
Good day.

- I can't sit here.
- What?

I thought
we could go up the mountain this weekend.

I don't need to be at the factory
before Monday.

Will you bring the bread?

Can I have a piece?

What are you thinking about?

Does the promotion or move lead
to anything good?

What do you mean by that?

It happened so quickly.

These are tough times.
Few people know Hydro better than me.

Why such a rush?
You are just a lawyer.

I've been a faithful servant to
Hydro my whole career.

Exactly. Faithful servants don't
suddenly become directors.

Are you questioning my qualifications?

I guess I have nothing to fear.

You've already begun
talking like a director.

- Dad? Where are you going?
- To Oslo

- For how long?
- I may be back on Friday.

- Dad, there's something wrong with the train.
- There is?

I'll take it with me. Then I'll
see if can be repaired there.

- What's happening?
- They about to smoke me out.

- Where are you going?
- To London. Via Sweden.

Is there any possibility
to contact us?

I will write letters and send
to your mother.

What?

For our anniversary.

I melted the NTH-ring.

Just make sure you come back.

Leif Tronstad. I am here to see
colonel John Skinner Wilson.

He's expecting me.

- He's not here, sir.
- He's not here?

I don't think you understand.
I have to see him. It's important.

The colonel is not here, sir.

- Are you lost?
- No, I am going to ...

- Good...Goodg Street...
- Goodge Street.

The King & Queen is not the
best of places.

Badly sprung mattresses, lumpy cushions,
eggy smell in the corridor.

And bed bugs and crabs.
Terrible choicem, Mr Tronstad.

I am sorry, do I know you?

Leif Tronsad, professor of inorganic
chemistry at the NTH in Trondheim.

Sped through the diploma and
became the youngest professor at age 33.

You are the foremost expert
in the world on heavy water -

- and responsible for the factory
that lies in a place I can't pronounce.

- Rjukan.
- Roocan. I said so.

Welcome to London, Mr Tronstad.

Come with me. We've been expecting you.

Leif Tronstad,
I heard you were on the premises.

I am colonel John Skinner Wilson.
Eric Welsh sends his regards.

- How's everyone at home, wife, children?
- They are well, thank you.

- You already met Captain Smith.
- Kind of.

She works in intelligence here.
She's head of Norwegian operations.

I am setting up lines of communication
in Norway and training field agents.

- Really, but you are a ...
- Yes, I am a woman. How very observant.

And also your superior officer. I grew up
with five brothers, and can outrun every one.

Don't underestimate captain Smith.
She's been following you the last four hours.

- Tell us what you know.
- Production has gone up 5 times in the last year.

First deliveries on their way.
Double the amount of fuel cells, and hiring people.

- And the new director of the factory?
- Bjørn Henriksen.

Aubert's right hand man,
and a wolf in sheep's clothing.

He's no light weight.
He brought in the army during a strike.

He was in favor of the King's abdication
after the invasion.

They call themselves
"der Uranverein", the Uranium club.

The best scientists in the country, like
von Weizsäcker, Bagge, Hahn -

- and ofcourse Werner Heisenberg,
the Nobel Prize winner.

Kurt Diebner runs the project
at the Kaiser Wilhelm institute.

It's run by the Waffenamt with the
aim of creating an atomic bomb.

We still don't know how far they've got,
but we fear the worst after the 5 ton order.

Start with these.
Taken from 3000 feet.

We had a plane over yesterday.
Here's the factory, there's the bridge.

Check for changes in buildings, transport
and access, roads and paths.

And also all routines,
employees, guards and management.

Names, affiliations, wives, children,
girlfriends, mistresses.

Anything you can get hold of,
however inconsequential it may seem.

We'll do the sifting through. You will get
your own office with everything you need.

We've built a base camp in Scotland,
and we're flying up there tomorrow.

You couldn't have arrived at a better moment.
What are you planning on doing?

- What are you planning to do?
- To stop them, of course.

There are plenty of Norwegians with local
knowledge and abilities we can send over ...

I don't think that's your decision,
Mr Tronstad?

We're at war.
You're still playing at war.
