He will attach limpets

to 2 other ships in the docks.

Tollef, I was just wondering...

What about reprisals?

Won't the Germans execute

shipyard workers if they...

That is why we will be wearing

English uniforms, in case we are seen.

- But what if no one sees us?

- We'll leave behind some English effects.

Don't worry.

This is a limpet.

It contains a kilo of plastic explosives,

and is magnetic.

We will attach them

to the side of the ships.

Your job is to keep our boats

somewhat stable next to the ships.

Thanks to the AC delay and cortex fuse,

the bombs will detonate 8 hours later.

At 9am. Questions?

This is your last chance.

If you want to back out, now is the time.

Good.

Operation Mardonius

Oslo Harbour, 27 April, 1943

Take this bloody dog away

and get it something to eat!

The night shift is starting.

- We can't cross without being seen!

- It's too late to turn back now.

What the...?

- How will you get to Sweden?

- We thought we'd paddle...

We'll hike across the border

and take a train from Arvika.

Look!

Let me see!

Look at that!

Look at that! Holy sh*t!

The order came directly

from Reichskommissar Terboven.

He can no longer tolerate this.

He expects reprisals.

If English commandos were behind this,

they must have had help.

I've arrested 5 workers.

Make them talk.

Are you new here?

My name is Siegfried.

- Solveig.

- Solveig? What a lovely Norwegian name.

Promise to let me know

if you need anything.

I can assure you, I don't bite.

I just want to do my job.

I'm sure you'll do it excellently.

If you need anything, ask for...?

- Siegfried?

- Correct.

We must be in Sweden by now?

Can't you tell how the nature is slowly

changing and becoming more Swedish?

- Where are we going to stay?

- Tikken takes care of that.

- Haven't I told you about Tikken?

- Your new Swedish girlfriend?

- No, she's Norwegian. She's our boss.

- I see...

- You see what?

- She's ugly.

No, she isn't ugly. It's more like...

we have a brother-sister relationship.

- So, she's available?

- No.

- So you're interested in her?

- No!

That, my friend, is Sweden!

- I'll see if I can find Tikken.

- I'll take care of this.

Excuse me, I need some equipment.

- Who are you?

- Mr In-a-hurry.

We need 2 diving suits, 20 kilos

of coffee, 8 limpets... Write it down!

Let me see:

60 cartons of cigarettes, 15 bottles

of whiskey... What is this nonsense?

- I don't have time to discuss it.

- Oh, you don't, Mr In-a-hurry?

- Don't cross anything out!

- I have 20 refugees from Trndelag,

and I have 300 cartons

of cigarettes to distribute

among the same number

of saboteurs, couriers and refugees.

So get in line like everyone else.
