All language subtitles for Kampen om tungtvannet - Episode 3_english

- What does "casualities" mean?
- "Casualties."

Dead. 41 dead.

I should've seen that the weather changed.
It was my responsibility.

- It says that most were shot.
- After the crash. The aircraft was covered by ice.

We pack our backpacks and takes so much out in the open spaces as possible.

Time is short.

Damn! Damn!

The Heavy Water War:
Stopping Hitler's Atomic Bomb

- Director Henriksen.
- Major Decker.

Over 40 British soldiers were prevented from carrying out a mission.

- Here? In this factoriy?
- No. Helleland. On the west coast.

- But they were on their way here.
- But Helleland is far from here.

- How can you be sure?
- There is no doubt.

- Brun, I must talk to you.
- Not now.

Make sure that my employees are treated properly.

The work they do is extremely important.

I know, director Henriksen. We take all the necessary steps.

There is someone who works for the British here in the factory.

- Do you know who it could be?
- No.

No ...

Then you probably do not mind that we investigate.

Have a good day, director Henriksen.

What is going on here? What?

We are here on the orders of Major Decker.

I'll take care of it here.

What are you doing?

Rolf!

Rolf!

Dad!

They took my brother yesterday.

I think they were actually coming for me.

You must leave.

- Right away?
- Now.

The Germans are increasing the number of guards.
You know the factory was the target of an operation.

Get to the Grouse boys on the marshes.
You know where they are.

What about you?

I got a plane ready to go.

Are you telling me you got another 40 guys ready?

You have another plan that's gonna work this time?

Because the last one was a royal fuck-up!

We're gonna do a job, I'll be damned if I'm gonna
let somebody screw this up again!

Do you understand? This is ridiculous.
You gotta to be kidding me!

What's going on?

Apparently the Americans have been planning
to bomb the factory for the last year.

It can't be bombed. The building is too solid. There are
seven floors of armored concrete. They'll never get to the source.

The whole thing is a disaster.
It couldn't be worse.

- What about "Grouse"?
- My way to orders was to send another team.
- My men are not prepared for the winter, the don't have enough food...

I am currently informing 41 families
that they won't see their boys again.

And you are concerned about what?
Four Norwegian commandos.

Can't they shoot?
Can't they live off the land?

You told me yourself how well prepared they are.
So that shouldn't be a problem, should it?

The hut is empty.

Raisins.

There are some crackers here.

- Pemmican.
- Is that all?

We have a visitor.

Do you have any chocolate?

Damn idiots...

The Germans have set guards along
the roads and at all entrances.

It is said that some of the employees
cooperate with the British.

Even Brun had his office raided.

What are you trying to say?

- It's Hydro's property.
- Yes?

- Yes.
- I thought you took care of that kind.

The Germans have a new order, and we said yes.

If the Germans do not disturb production,
we'll go on as before.

- Do you understand?
- Yes, I understand.

The Germans have inspected the
workers quarters.

Among others they have taken Rolf - the servant's husband,
the one you fired.

I see. You don't care one bit.

Tell me what the hell is going on.
There are German soldiers everywhere.

They tried to sabotage the factory.

They? Who?

The English.

I don't understand why... Why would they
want to sabotage that stupid factory?

I don't know.

You're lying!

Continue. Fine.

Slowly.

Continue.

Stop!

- Temperature?
- Unchanged.

- Temperature?
- Unchanged.

- And now?
- It's increasing. It's increasing.

- Should we tell Diebner?
- Later.

Check the temperature.
Check the temperature.

What's happening?

The control rods!

Lower the control rods. Lower them!

- Okay, get it back.
- No.

Werner, come!

Get out of here.

We have produced energy. One of...

Werner, you do not understand.

We are a team. You and I. You know that.
I've said it over and over again.

I have defended you countless times.
And now a fire ...

I have 20 projects that need money,
and then you burn it all down.

I'm sorry, but that is a misconception.

It was a good fire.
The best proof that the reactor works.

- We produced energy.
- It is not enough.

My superiors demand results.
We have waited long enough.

- What happened here is the result.
- It is not good. It was a fire.

All the theories and the fine
calculations are not enough.

- You have not delivered results.
- It may seem that way.

Professor Diebner's project
has greater promise -

- and has produced more concrete results than yours.

We have made progress in the labor camps.

Right.

No, you stay here.

- Can you complete this project?
- Yes. We will restore the reactor.

What guarantee do I have that you
will not fizzle them off again?

Are you suggesting that I am
sabotaging my own work?

I am a researcher.

Many researchers have left Germany.

- They were not particularly welcome here.
- Some of them were.

Diebner?

Why did not you say something?
You can see that he does not understand.

You are not the only scientist here, Heisenberg.

You should have thought of it earlier.

Are you here?

Has something happened?

When you don't come home,
I have to come here and see how you are doing.

- How are you doing?
- We manage.

My back is all sore from carrying coal up to the apartment.

The food?

We are losing weight.

I'll take care of it.

Do you know what the strange thing is?

What's strange?

I am beginning to understand what war means,
because you are away for so long.

I love our children. I will do everything for them.

But I love you more.

I know. You cannot be this way.

But that's how it is.

Forget it... We'll bomb it.

I have 100 planes that are ready.

The factory has seven floors that are made of armored concrete.

Yes, so you keep saying. Sure you're not just worried about local casualties?

I built this factory. We need someone to get explosives into the basement.

That's why it has to be a small group.

A group of five people who know the area, drop them
off on the mountain, heavily supervised,
with only the heavy water plant as their target.

OK, get the group. In a month. One month.

And so help me, I will go out and I'll level the whole valley.

- Number four.
- How old is he?

- 23.
- 23?
- He's mature for his age.
- Competent?

The best. He came over here two years ago. Quickly got in the system.

Linge, SOE, last year as an instructor at Glenmore and Forest Lodge.

And he has a penchant for everything
that has to do with explosives and maps.

- Well, that works. What's his name?
- Rønneberg.

Roneberg. He's a handsome chap. I'll give him that.

Don't worry, Tronstad. Not as handsome as you.

- Is everything all right?
- Yes everything is fine.

Thank you.

Can you blow it up?

- What is it?
- Heavy water factory in Vemork.

- The whole thing?
- The basement.

You will have a team of ten, half
of which you can choose yourself.

To be dropped by plane by
the first full moon in December.

- You'll be exempt from all other duties.
- And the other half?

Poulsson, Kjelstrup, Haugland,
Helberg and Skinnarland.

They are already there.

Are you ready?

Very.

There are Kayser, Idland,
Storhaug and Strømsheim.

- Fine. And Haukelid as sixth man.
- Haukelid?
- His foot has healed. He is more than ready.

- We do not need more.
- I think you do.

Four on the blasting team
and at least five outside.

- You wanted to have a small team.
- It still is.

- Don't you think he's too smug?
- He is. That's why I like him.

Good at improvising, shoots well.
When he doesn't... hit his own foot.

- How are you?
- We'll starve to death.

No. We'll find something to eat and
we'll get new instructions from England soon.

I've been throwing up all day,
Arne was throwing up all day yesterday.

I know. Arne is managing, and so will you.

There's no wildlife out there.

I didn't even see a grouse.

Claus, you are the next to go out.

Yes.

Here you go.

I'll try again northward on the west side.
Give me a few days.

Gentlemen, sit.

Sorry I'm late, Sir.

Right. Some of you already
know why you're here.

Operation "Gunnerside".
Southern Norway.

The target is the heavy water
plant in Rjukan.

From now on, whatever you do,
you will do as a group.

A unit. A team. No solo efforts.
No individual heroics.

We only care about what you
manage to do as a team.

So if anyone has a problem with it,
please do let me know.

Reindeer moss.

We see that.

We can't eat moss.

If a reindeer can, so can we.

- We're going to die from this.
- No one is going to die from a little moss.

Our stomachs may complain a bit.

Eat your moss now, Einar.

Hell no!

Thank you.

- Astrid, how are you?
- Thank you. I'm fine.

- And your husband? Have you heard from him?
- No.

Mom?

Good afternoon, young lady. Come here.

- Good afternoon. My name is Ellen.
- Lise.

I always liked that name.
You also look like a little Lise.

- Say goodbye to the lady. You have homework.
- I don't want to study German.

Lise, would you like to do your homework here with me?
I can help you with German, and you can help me with my cocoa.

Can she, please?

Come.

Let's see...

Eins. Zwei. Drei.

Eins. Zwei. Drei.

So you do speak German.
Let's read some of this...

"Norway, Norway, glistening from the gray and green sea."

"Islands around it like young birds."

"Fjords as tongues..."

Yes?

Major Decker wants to see you.
He's in the heavy water room.

We don't know what happened.

It's not that hard to figure out.
Someone poured in the wrong thing.

Soap or codliver oil.

I want a list of everyone who
has been here the last 24 hours.

- I can't do that.
- Why not?

- Because that is Hydro's responsibility.
- What is Hydro's responsibility?

- To prevent this from happening again.
- And what do you intend to do?

- Review the list.
- And do what?

Find the culprit.

What guarantee do I have?

This is my business.

If someone wants to destroy our effort -

- it is in my best interest
to find the perpetrator.

I will take care of it.

I guarantee you.

Good.

- I have to talk to Brun.
- He didn't come in today.

- Could you call him at his house?
- He doesn't answer.

Then he must have left a message?

We're calling it.

I was late again. 15 seconds.

And the guard is sitting over there, not there.

- And the door opened inwards.
- Jomar. Say hello to the boys.

- Knut Haukelid.
- Jomar Brun.

- Joachim Rønneberg.
- Birger Strømsheim.

- How did you get here?
- Via Sweden.

- Was it close?
- Yes. What's the plan?

- In three weeks.
- That's great.

There's a lot that
needs to be done.

- Planning, training and equipment.
- You'll sort it out.

We have screwed up once, and we have
a group of starving men on the mountains.

We are ready.

All right, gentlemen.
Turn off the lights and get ready.

24th of December, 1942

- Is he here yet?
- No, not yet.

- What's going on?
- We are waiting for the weather report.

- Should we put on our parachutes?
- Let's wait.

- What's that?
- Wirecutters.

- I know, but what are they doing there?
- I just thought that...
- Too heavy. Get rid of it.

Yes, Captain.

Sir!

Heavy snowfall on the coast. All right ...

Let's postpone. Merry Christmas!

Yes, it's Christmas.

We can celebrate it at the bar.
First round's on Rønneberg.

You are the boss.
First one's on you, seconds on me.

- I don't have any money.
- I can lend you.

We'll die anyway.

You're not coming?

I can't plan a new mission with a hangover.

Well, we're not going to plan a new missing tomorrow
for Christ's sake. It's Christmas, not blasphemy.
Or Norwegians don't celebrate Christmas?

Yes, we do.

I should be with my family.

I should be with my husband.

I need a drink.

- Welcome.
- Good evening. My wife, Elizabeth.

- A pleasure.
- Likewise. General Fischer.

This is Professor Heisenberg,
leader of the uranium program.

So it is you who spend all of our money.
Mrs. Heisenberg.

- Hello.
- Werner.

Ladies and gentlemen,
Professor Heisenberg.

On the way here I heard someone say -

- that all available resources will
now be deployed on the eastern front.

More planes, tanks and soldiers
so the war can be won quickly.

And after that the professors can
research all they want.

I admit that the idea is appealing.

But it is too short-sighted.

I want to explain to you some things
that I hope you will consider.

The current research status
is the same for England, Canada and USA.

No one will have a breakthrough yet.
Not today and probably not next week.

But maybe in five years.

Three years. Next year.

But when the results of
the research come out -

- they will change our notion
of energy completely.

We can build more planes and tanks.

We can fight the biggest battles
on land, at sea or in the air.

But whatever we do -

- those who succeed in controlling
the atomic energy -

- will be invincible.

What energy are we talking about?

As an example:
We are talking about an energy -

- which will enable our ships to
be at sea for many months.

We are talking about an energy that can
supply our industry for years to come.

We're approaching our goal.

What are your objectives, Professor Heisenberg?

To build a reactor.

A reactor is no bomb.

A reactor will produce energy and
plutonium that can be used in bombs.

But, if we so desperately need a bomb -

- why don't we produce
plutonium in the first place?

Because it does not work that way.

Ladies and gentlemen, I have on a
previous occasion had the pleasure -

- to attend Professor
Heisenberg's lectures.

I am sure you will now explain to us
how powerful the bomb will be -

- so that General Fischer
will also be convinced.

This bomb, you talk about that
can destroy a city in seconds...

- How big a city are you talking about?
- Let's rephrase that:

How big is the city that you want to bomb?

London.

To destroy London you need a bomb the size of...

The size of a pineapple.

- About as big as this one?
- Approximately that big.

Ladies and gentlemen,
London's demise.

Now we're talking.

Go.
