Are you a soldier?

No, not really.

I'm an instrument maker.

Do you make pianos?

No, I make instruments

that you can use to draw maps.

Understand?

So I draw maps.

And once I rode my bike

from Sweden to Norway.

To draw a map of an airport.

But when I returned to Sweden,

a policeman said I was

no longer allowed to draw maps.

So I had to leave Sweden.

Then I went to Russia,

the Ukraine, Turkey,

India, Kenya,

and South Africa.

And then...

...I took a boat over to Brazil.

And went up to Trinidad,

the United States,

and Canada.

And then I took another boat.

To England.

And finally I came to Shetland.

Where I met my friends.

And then I came here.

Why didn't you go to Australia?

You sure know your geography.

A bookworm.

She loves geography.

Farm work, not so much.

Are you ready to go?

Tell me what you know.

All I know is what I heard

at the hospital.

Which is?

There have been mass arrests.

The Germans

found your secret documents.

And the men I came over with?

I heard about one man

called Sigurd.

They say he was tortured

to death.

But another one, Erik Reichelt,

is still alive.

He's in the hospital.

And the others?

They're being executed.

Tonight.

Here you go.

Wow.

This is my entire life.

I'm going to take good care of this.

What are you looking at?

Have the Germans stolen

our northern lights?

No, that's not possible.

My mother used to say

if you can see the northern lights,

you're never far from home.

If you like the northern lights,

you can hide here with us.

We have lots of northern lights

and lots of good hiding places.

My God!

What have they done to you?

I didn't say anything.

I didn't say anything!

No, I believe you.

I believe you.

They haven't found him.

The man who was with you.

They haven't found him.

He's still alive.

He's alive.

I have a wife.

And a daughter.

Give them my best.

I need to go.

How can I help save our country

if I'm in hiding?

Are you going to Troms?

No.

It's too late.

I'm going to Sweden.

Why?

Because Sweden is what we call

a neutral country.

I'll be safe there.

That's good.

Since you're so good with maps,

maybe you can show me

where Sweden is?

We are there.

And there... is Sweden.

That's a long way.

All the prisoners out!

Faster!

You disappoint me.

None of them talked.

One was promising,

but he died on me.

Well, well.

What can you do?

Maybe they didn't talk

because there's nothing to say.

Because your man is dead.

I was contacted

by the Reich Main Security Office.

They are waiting for a report.

No.

Not until I am sure.

Fine.

Keep moving!

Know what I think?

I think you are chasing a ghost.

There is no trace of him.
