Shh! Shh!

Fuses. Blasting caps.

Blasting caps.

We're breaking!

Scotland 1 942

-What happened?
-It was my fault.

-I was sure I had them.
-He should have checked.

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

-A lot of stairs.
-That will be the least of your problems.

Any questions before we go again?

What's so important with that water?

My famous friend, Niels
Bohr. Did you just arrive?

No, no, I was watching you.

I just wanted to be the
first to congratulate you.

You beat me by six years.

- Without you, I...
- Oh, nonsense!

The new star is Werner Heisenberg.

I'm so proud of you. The
whole Institute is ecstatic!

All my thoughts and theories...

Yes, anyway, where are
we going to celebrate?

I hear that Stockholm is full
of young women with Nobel fever.

Now I'm going to tell you something
that's even more secret than

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

women are unpredictable.

Nothing in my scientific research
indicates that a young,

beautiful, intelligent and
entertaining woman can't fall for...

a pale, underfed and
quiet nuclear physicist.

On the contrary.

All my calculations point towards you

being able to pick
from the top drawer.

Now, don't forget what I told you.

An object can be in two
places at the same time.

No, women are unpredictable.

Right.

Sir Heisenberg?

Adolf Hitler has had total control over
Germany since August 1 934

I can't stand the smell of coal
when I'm pregnant.

You shouldn't get pregnant so often.

Hurry up with the invention
of that new fuel.

The future will be
a late wedding present.

-Thank you.
-Excuse me, what kind of fuel?

Neutrons in a chain reaction.

The splitting of nuclei multiply
like a hurricane, out of control.

-The latest in science.
-She's right.

Politics don't really interest me.

It's a shame 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 has no chin?

I heard you were offered
a professorship at Columbia.

Yes, that's true.
Do you think I accepted?

I don't know.

I want my children
to grow up in Germany.

And I can't think without you.

-Are we expecting someone?
-Himmler's mother perhaps?

Werner Heisenberg?
Could you please come with us?

-Why?
-Now. Straight away.

I don't understand.

You will be questioned.

You know who I am.
Professor Werner Heisenberg.

I don't want to arrest you.
Will you come voluntarily?

Is everything all right?

In this letter from 11th November
you refuse-

-to join a conference
about Aryan physics.

-It's inadequate.
-Excuse me?

-Are you opposed to it?
-Things were missing.

In December 1 938 you refused
to join the Reich party convention.

-I believe that...
-You refuse to join the NSDAP.

-I'm a physicist.
-Working against the country.

-That's not true.
-You quote Jews and others...

...who actively act against
the National Socialist movement.

-They are renowned scientists...
-Who have betrayed Germany.

And you admit
that you often refer to them-

-and quote them
in public papers and articles.

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

A Jew, as you know.

"The evolution of quantum physics
is mostly due to Max Born."

Also a Jew.

"The answer to the Schrödinger
equation describes atomic systems"-

-"and possibly the universe as well."

I admit it's not easy to understand.

Your marriage to Elisabeth is fake.

You met in January 1 937
and were engaged three weeks later.

On 29th April, barely three
months later, you got married.

Until then you had shown
no interest in women.

You never had a girlfriend
or a close relationship with a woman.

Witnesses confirm
your interest in men.

-Especially young men.
-That's ridiculous.

8th March 1 928 in Leipzig.

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

On 24th June the same year-

-you encouraged the group
to jump naked into a lake.

-We were boy scouts.
-No, professor.

You are gay.

-It's only for two months.
-Or only two days.

-I don't intend to die.
-Do you think soldiers intend to die?

Herfriede's brother died.
Did he plan that?

Why the hell does Germany send...

Why does Germany send
its best scientists to the trenches?

Come here.

This is crazy.

Werner. Werner!

-Did you not get the message?
-Which message?

This is Professor Heisenberg.
You know that.

-What is this?
-Read it. One moment, please.

Werner, it worked.

Himmler's mother gave him
the letter. He's vouching for you.

Here, this is for you. Read it.
It's a letter from Himmler.

He says the SS was wrong.
Germany needs its scientists.

Diebner started a new project
with the government's support.

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

Do you understand?

Do you need anything else?

You must be careful.

-Welcome, Professor. Mr Weizsäcker.
-Mr Diebner.

Heereswaffenamt, Berlin
The German Army Weapons Agency

-The Uranium Club.
-Yes.

Formal, but also very casual.

We gathered only the best.
Geiger, Hahn,-

-Harteck, Stetter...
You know them all.

-What's the goal?
-A nuclear reaction.

Production of energy from uranium.

Please sign this.
The project is strictly confidential.

Why is that?

We are under the control
of the Heereswaffenamt.

We will get everything we need.
Resources, materials,-

-assistants, everything you want.

As scientists
we've never had better conditions.

Einstein said: "Do not worry
if war serves science."

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

Mr Heisenberg,
with all due respect...

We don't want to hear names
like Einstein, Debye,-

-Herzberg, Schrödinger,
and also not Bohr.

Knowledge is also a chain reaction.
No thought comes from nothing.

I'm not asking much of you.

You will have opportunities
no scientists have had before.

Say what you need, and it's yours.
Uranium, cement, graphite.

To build a reactor?

Good. What do we need?

-D2O.
-D2O.

Heavy water.

We need heavy water to set off
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,
and it's only produced in Norway.

A Norwegian factory
produces artificial fertiliser.

The main product is ammonia,
the by-product is water.

A chemist boiled it for coffee-

-and realised it boiled
at a higher temperature.

The discovery of heavy water.

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

The French maybe. Not many.

No one I know of.

Good.

World War II starts
September 3rd 1939

Norsk Hydro's headquarters
Oslo

Heavy water?
What do the Germans want that for?

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'll contact Tronstad.
He built the plant.

Norwegian Institute of Technology
Trondheim

Have lunch,
and we'll meet in half an hour.

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

I doubt it.

It's the heavy water.
How much can we deliver?

-You started the production.
-You stopped it in August.

-Is there nothing left?
-Maybe a few litres.

-How many?
-I don't know. Ask Brun.

How long would it take to start up
again? The Germans want it.

-How long?
-Two or three months.

-How much?
-A litre a day at the most.

-Can we increase it?
-The ammonia would suffer.

Good. I'll speak to Brun.

Fun experiment by the way.

-Have a good day.
-Same to you.

Norsk Hydro's factory
at Vemork/Rjukan

-Brun.
-This is Leif.

-How are you?
-More fun with you here.

Henriksen was here
and inquired about the heavy water.

He wants to start
the production again.

He wanted to know how much
was left. The Germans want it.

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

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

Well... It'll be a fight over
the few litres we have.

If a neutron is split from an atom,-

-the atom gives off more neutrons.

Each of these neutrons
can split more nuclei-

-which again give off more neutrons.

This causes an ever increasing
number of nuclear splits.

The purer the uranium, the more
effective is the chain reaction.

Excuse me, but I still don't see
any practical use.

Yes, there is one.

A slow chain reaction creates
a heat generating uranium machine.

A fast reaction produces
a highly effective nuclear explosion.

-How effective?
-Very effective.

Very effective?

It depends on how much uranium
we're talking about.

Let's say 1 00 kilos.

1 00 kilos?

At the moment I can only guess,
but 1 00 kilos could-

-possibly produce
double the explosive force.

If uranium-235 is hit by a neutron,-

-we get uranium-236, which
releases vast amounts of energy.

And then a new neutron...

-Two or three.
-Excuse me?

You drew one neutron.
Maybe I didn't understand you.

But it's more accurate
to talk about two or three neutrons.

The number is crucial.

May I?

Please.

As long as we talk
about one neutron,-

-the amount of energy released
is not a lot.

However, if two or three neutrons
from the first split-

-can collide with other new
uranium-235 nuclei which also split,-

-you get a totally different picture.

In comparison,
to say 1 kilo uranium-

-equals double the force of other
explosives is underestimated.

Let's have a look.
The energy released from one split-

-is 1 79 mega electron volts.

This means 1 kilo enriched uranium
produces the energy of no less-

-than 1 5 000 tons
of normal explosives.

Excuse me,
could you please repeat that?

1 5 000 tons.
I wrote about this two years ago.

This...bomb...

Is it possible to build?

This is the energy
that is theoretically released.

But to answer your question:
Of course.

You only need to know
how to use the energy.

Very promising.

Norsk Hydro's headquarters
Oslo

Javier.

Welcome. Welcome.

Good to see you.

You know the board meeting
is not before next month?

I know. But it's not the board
that sent me this time.

I've been sent by Deuxieme Bureau.

According to our sources,

heavy water is being utilised...

.. in the German arms programme.

You propose it in France instead?

In France, Jean Frederic
Joliot-Curie and his wife Irene

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 do not intend to
wait and see either.

How much will France pay?

How much are the Germans paying?

How much and how fast?

All of it, now.

OK, we have a deal.

You can pay it when
you've won the war.

Idiots! Why didn't anyone notice the
water was loaded into another plane?

Everything is in France now! I don't
want to be tricked by the French!

Get out!

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

-Is everything OK?
-Yes.

-With the shipment?
-Yes.

There was a problem. The situation
in Norway will soon be under control.

-Really?
-Yes.

You will get your heavy water.

-It's what you need, right?
-Of course.

-Of course.
-Good.

Germany invades Norway and Denmark
April 9th 1 940

Dear all,
there are no lectures today.

As you have heard,
the Germans are in town.

Science is a noble profession.

I've never had a higher ambition
than just learning more.

Ten years ago
I didn't know neutrons carried-

-the energy
of 2 million electron volts.

At the time I thought: "It's the most
important thing I'll ever learn."

But I was wrong. It was
the second most important thing.

Should we sit here and do formulas-

-or should we go out and fight those
who are trying to take what's ours?

Should we bow to them and pray
they give us something back?

Or should we use our heads
to try to send them packing?

My dear students,
dear scientists, dear people...

The choice is yours.

But remember,
what you choose today-

-will be history in a hundred years.

The choice is yours and yours...

Get the Federation of Industries'
support to stop the acts of war.

Due to the circumstances
The King should be urged to abdicate.

The King is still Head of State.

For years Norsk Hydro's budget was
bigger than the Norwegian state's.

The Federation should ask the King
to abdicate to protect the country.

If you say so.

We will increase
the heavy water output.

Talks are being held
with I.G. Farben.

-Germany?
-Is that a problem?

No.

The Germans are sending
scientists and generals to the plant.

-What do they want?
-To step up the aluminium production.

Then there's the heavy water.

-They want more cells.
-How many?

They want to increase
the production fivefold.

Suddenly everything is urgent.

I have warned London. Gestapo is
close to taking down the whole group.

They took one of my students,
questioned him and shot him.

Did he give them any names?

I don't know.

-What do we do?
-I have to get to London.

I'll contact SIS and SOE
and tell them what's happening.

You go back to the factory
and continue as before.

Excuse me. I'll call you back.

I hear you have paid Quisling
and his Nazi party 25 000 kroner.

-We need to work in peace.
-You're right.

The world wouldn't stop
because of an occupation-

-or a change of government.
Have you got a minute?

-How are the talks going?
-They want to buy.

-I'm waiting to hear from the board.
-That's the problem.

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

Perhaps the decisions should
be made locally.

The Rjukan plant needs a new boss.

Someone who knows the score
and can oversee the production.

Wouldn't you like that?

We'll be 22 for dinner on Saturday.

It was hard to get good food,
but we'll have three great courses.

It'll be nice to have friends here
during these strange times.

Yes...

What's wrong?

I've been given more responsibilities
at Rjukan and Vemork.

-Which means...?
-I need to be closer to the plants.

-You...?
-We.

Do you mean move?

Yes.

-When?
-In a week.

-22 bedrooms?
-I told you it was big.

What do we need all that for?

Should the new director
live in a hut?

You'll be fine here.

We will be fine here.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

I can't sit here.

What?

I thought we could hike
in the mountain this weekend.

I don't need to start until Monday.

Could you bring the bread?

Can I have some?

What's on your mind?

Will this new appointment and
move result in anything good?

-What do you mean?
-It happened so quickly.

These are difficult times.
Few know Hydro better than me.

Yes, but why the hurry?
You're just a lawyer.

I have been a loyal servant of Hydro
my whole career.

Loyal servants do not suddenly
become directors.

Are you questioning
my qualifications?

I've got nothing to fear.
You already talk like a director.

-Daddy? Where are you going?
-To Oslo.

-For how long?
-I might be back by Friday.

-Something's wrong with my train.
-Is it?

I'll take it with me
and see if I can fix it there.

-What's going on?
-They're about to expose me.

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

Will you have
the chance to contact us?

I can write a letter
and send it to your mother.

What...?

For our anniversary.

It's made from my university ring.

Just make sure you come back.

Excuse me. Can you
keep the door clear?

Leif Tronstad. I'm here to see
Colonel John Skinner Wilson.

He's expecting me.

He's not here, sir.

- He's not here?
- No, sir.

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

The colonel's not here, sir.

Are you lost, sir?

No, no, no. I'm going to...

G... Goog-es Street.

Goodge Street.

The King and Queen's own Goodge
Street it's not the best of places.

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

and there's bedbugs and crabs.

Terrible choice, Mr Tronstad.

I'm sorry. Do I know you?

Leif Tronstad.

Professor of Inorganic Chemistry
at the NTH in Trondheim.

Sped through the diploma studies,

became the youngest professor
in the faculty at age 33.

Now the foremost expert in
the world on heavy water

and responsible for building the
factory that lies in the place

with a name on it that...
I'll be able to pronounce.

Rjukan.

Rjukan. Told you.

Welcome to London, Mr Tronstad.

If you care to follow me,
we've been expecting you.

Leif Tronstad. I heard
you were on the premises.

I'm Colonel John Skinner Wilson.
Eric Welsh sends his regards.

How's everybody at home,
your wife, children?

They are well, thank you.

- You've already met Captain Smith.
- Kind of.

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

I'm currently setting up lines
of communication in Norway,

- as well as training field agents.
- Really, but you're a...

Yes, I'm a woman. How very observant
of you, Professor Tronstad.

I'm also your superior officer.

I grew up with five brothers and
can outrun every one of them.

Don't underestimate Captain
Smith, Tronstad.

She can tell you the last
time you smoked a cigarette.

Been following you for
the last four hours.

Right. Tell us what you know.

Production's gone up five
times in the last year.

The first deliveries
are on their way.

They have double the
amount of fuel cells

and are constantly hiring people.

And the new director of the factory?

Bjorn Henriksen, Aubert's
right-hand man.

A wolf in sheep's clothing.

They've been placed in the
factory to bear the brunt,

but he's no lightweight.

He personally brought in the army
during a strike at the factory

and he is reported to have been
in favour of the king abdicating

after the invasion.

Oh, dear. They call
themselves De Uranverein,

the Uranium Club.

They've gathered together the
best scientists in the country.

People like von Weizsacker,
Bagge, Hahn and of course

Werner Heisenberg, the
Nobel Prize winner.

Kurt Diebner runs the project.

They're based at the
Kaiser-Wilhelm-Institut,

but of course the whole thing's
actually run by the Waffenamt

with the sole aim of
creating an atomic bomb.

We still don't know
how far they've got,

but with this new order for
five tonnes of heavy water,

we have every reason
to fear the worst.

You can start with these, Tronstad.

Taken from 3,000 feet,
so not perfect.

We had a plane over yesterday.

Here's the factory,
there's the bridge.

Check for any changes...

building, transport and
access, roads and paths.

Thank you. And also all routines.

Employees, guards, management.

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

anything you get hold of.

Every last little scrap, however
inconsequential it may seem.

We'll do all the sifting through.

You'll get your own office
with everything you need...

copies, photos, estimates.

We've built a base camp in Scotland,

so we're all flying
up there tomorrow.

So you couldn't have arrived
at a better moment.

What are you planning on doing?

What are you planning on doing?

Stopping them, of course.

There are plenty of Norwegians
with local knowledge and technical
ability. We could send over...

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

We're at war.

You're still playing at war.
