For this new Norway we fight.

Our ideals must and will be the common heritage of the Norwegian people.

This is the only path to a strong and healthy national Norway.

NORWAY IS OCCUPIED BY NAZI-GERMANY

THE RINNAN GANG HAS BECOME THE MOST FEARED INFORMER NETWORK IN THE COUNTRY

- Come in. - No!

- I'm sorry. - It's okay, it's okay.

- Come on in, we're done. - I just...

Hi, May.

I wanted to remind you about the meeting with Gemmecke.

I know.

You're running late, so...

Anything else?

I thought I'd join the meeting with the Gestapo.

Why?

Because I'm deputy leader.

I'm fine on my own. You help Vesla.

- Åsbjørg. - Hi, Bjarne.

Do you want to drive yourself?

Bjarne?

- You drive, Petter. - Fine.

Run!

I'll tell you what you are, little punk.

You're a traitor! A traitor, that's what you are.

Trying to turn Norwegians against each other!

Hate is one of the most important things.

It is terrible that society cannot provide enough work for those who want it.

There is something wrong with the whole system.

-National Gathering? - It's Quisling's movement.

Oh? How can I become a member?

I am an advocate of order and justice.

Have you never considered sacrificing something for Norway?

Sacrificing something? For Norway?

And here at last comes Rinnan,

the Levanger boy who Berlin had appointed to be the Himmler of the North.

I can't see anything unusual.

The ringing will probably stop by itself.

- Wounded in action. Wound Badge. - Henry.

I'll take care of security, Klara. I will.

- Leave those things, please. - Hey, leave the man be.

It is primarily for soldiers.

Here.

This will get you back on your feet in no time.

What's that?

It's amphetamine. Panzer chocolate.

Energy pills we give to German soldiers.

And so tasty!

Even our Führer likes them.

Hey, Roar. Hey, you. Get away from the window. Look at me.

Look at me. We're secret agents, aren't we? So we have to hide.

There are many people out there who want to get us. Go in there.

Hi. Let me speak to Grande, please.

He's at the Mission Hotel.

- What did you say? - Grande is at the Mission Hotel.

He said he's taking over while you're gone.

The Mission Hotel. Quickly!

Lola! You're up and about. Good. We thought you might need some rest.

Say hello to Kriminaloberassistent and SS-Hauptscharführer Eduard Boesten.

He speaks a little Norwegian, so it will be fine.

Nice to meet you. I know Grande from earlier. He says you're fantastic.

- He does, does he? - Yes.

Yes.

This isn't terribly difficult.

They're communists. Milorg doesn't throw grenades in the street like that.

It's either the Thingstad gang or the Osvald Group.

- It's very simple. - Excuse me, what do you mean?

They tried to kill me. I assume that's why you're here.

Since you are a Kriminaloberassistent.

That's not what we're discussing now, Henry.

We were in the middle of something.

We're planning an operation in Molde. I might have a way in there.

In Molde?

After we cracked down in Ålesund, the illegal groups have grown in Molde.

I've made contact with two sisters who are working for them.

I've asked them to meet me at a small cabin at Lia.

They think I'm on their side.

Maybe we should let Grande run this operation, huh?

Then you can, well, rest.

He has this under control together with Boesten.

I'm coming with you to Molde.

I feel just fine.

So you're having your own meetings with the Gestapo?

Give me a break. I'm deputy leader, and you were gone.

When are you leaving for Molde?

Four o'clock. I'll have Inga buy you a ticket.

I know you don't want more bad news right now, Ivar,

but you know my mission in Tromsø?

I met the man I was supposed to inform on.

He was a really nice guy.

And I got a little drunk.

Just say it, Kitty. Get it over with.

I accidentally told him that Olav Whist is Henry Rinnan

and that he shouldn't come with me to Trondheim.

- He said he wouldn't tell anyone. - How stupid are you?

I couldn't bear the thought of him being sent to the Gestapo, Ivar.

I know what they do there. I'm not stupid.

So you think it's better they torture you instead?

- Is it that bad? - Yes.

That's how bad it is.

What should we do?

I'll try to talk to him when we're... when we're in Molde.

SWEDEN IS NEUTRAL DURING THE WAR

AND BECOMES A SAFE HAVEN FOR NORWEGIAN RESISTANCE FIGHTERS

STRANDVÄGEN 59 IN STOCKHOLM IS THE HQ OF THE NORWEGIAN LEGATION

PART OF THE LEADERSHIP OF THE NORWEGIAN LEGATION

ODD SØRLI HAS BEEN TRANSFERRED HERE TO CONTINUE LEADING THE RESISTANCE EFFORTS

We've been monitoring Rinnan and his gang for the past few years.

Their numbers keep growing.

Because of them, countless Norwegians have been imprisoned and killed.

We're going to put a stop to that now.

Now we'll liquidate the rat.

Rinnan usually has tight security around him in Trondheim.

But we've found a gap in security outside his house.

He is driven home every night by his bodyguard, Karl Dolmen,

also known as Petter.

Rinnan walks from the car into his house alone.

That's where we take him. It'll be the three of us and Danielsen.

We need to be there in force after that grenade scheme of yours.

I wasn't involved.

Good communication between you communists, I see.

You lived in the same town as this rat for over a year.

Why haven't you just shot him?

Go for lunch, boys. We need to talk.

Okay. Johnny, will you receive Danielsen?

- Prepare for the meeting later. - Yes.

You're not part of the assassination.

- What do you mean? I'm to lead the group. - We need you for something more important.

You've been headhunted, Odd, by the British 4th Army.

You'll assist in an operation that could change the war.

Rinnan is small fry compared to this.

You'll be replaced by a man named Fredrik Brekke.

Johnny Pevik takes over as field commander.

This is big, Odd.

Congratulations.

Say it, or I'll beat the shit out of Kjell

and set fire to your entire print shop.

- Really? - Yes. You have to tell me now. Say it.

- Will it stay between us? - Of course it'll stay between us.

The Allies will strike back at the Germans.

Via Trøndelag.

- What do you mean? - We're taking back Europe.

And I'll be at the center of the operation.

Congratulations. You fucking deserve it.

But tell me. Do you know what you are going to do?

I'm having a meeting with the Brits.

Second lieutenant Odd Sørli?

- Hi. - My name is Fredrik Brekke.

- Lyng said you were here. Fredrik. Hi. - Yes.

I'm ready for the rat hunt. I have some questions about the operation.

Not now.

I need a piss, but we'll talk more later. This is going to be great, huh?

He's to replace you?

Who the fuck is this moron, Odd?

Must be someone Lyng has hired

to kiss asses further up the system, I think.

Just make sure he doesn't get in your way.

- You'll manage, Johnny. - Sure.

You're going to make history, too. You'll be the man who killed Henry Rinnan.

This is no trap. It'll be fine.

Have you ever had a grenade thrown at you?

Relax, Rinnan.

Don't say "Rinnan." "Bjarne."

Okay. Put the gun away, Bjarne. You look crazy.

There they are.

- Get them both drunk, right? - Yes.

We need names of all the central people here in Molde.

MEMBER OF THE RESISTANCE GROUP IN MOLDE

MEMBER OF THE RESISTANCE GROUP IN MOLDE

The Germans have tightened their grip recently.

And after the terrible tragedy in Ålesund,

we need to find new ways to transport refugees.

But we have to be extra careful.

That's right. It seems the Germans have informants on the inside.

We need to get in touch with those who control the refugee traffic to England.

Yes.

We have a...

- We have a... - Johanne.

It's good that you're careful, Solveig.

I hope you won't reveal our names as easily as you nearly did now.

- No. No, of course not. - No...

We'll deal with this later. Cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

- Yes, cheers. Cheers. - Cheers.

It has a kick. A little more, maybe?

A little more.

I'm sorry.

I was just going to ask if you wanted more...

- I can just go... I'll leave. - No, no, no. No. I...

- Would you like some? - I'd love some, if...

- I spilled a little, but... - That's... That's...

Why are you here?

I've got a hell of a ringing in my ears, so...

- Why? - There was an operation last week.

You know there are rumors about you in town?

Don't believe all you hear, Solveig.

I shouldn't believe that Bjarne Asp is the hero they say he is?

A hero? I... No, I...

The rumors say so.

You do what you can for your country. But that I am...

You liked that.

- What? - To be called a hero.

- No, that... No. - Yes. Yes. You liked that.

You liked that.

There's nothing wrong in that.

We need our heroes now. Cheers.

To a free Norway.

To a free Norway.

If you want to... set up a route to England from here,

then I have someone you should meet.

My brother.

Actually, we agreed not to say anything, so hush.

His name is Harald. He leads much of the resistance here.

Hush. Don't tell anyone.

I can't hear what you're saying. I've got this hellish ringing in my ears.

What did you say? Huh? Huh?

Hey!

Careful.

- It'll be fine. Cheers. - Sure. Cheers.

Her brother is Harald. He's important.

They have another brother too, but she didn't say his name.

Arne Arøe pulls all the strings. Distributes newspapers from his bookstore.

- Hege Bjørnholt. Øystein Grønvold... - You have to speak more slowly. My God.

This is very good. Any more?

Yes. We mustn't forget Johanne Kleve

and Solveig Kleve.

Yes.

Hey, Bjarne, there's an unpleasant thing I need to tell you about.

About Kitty and the trip to Tromsø.

She did something very stupid.

She told Arntzen who you really are.

I apologize on her behalf.

She's young and stupid, and it was a foolish mistake.

Why are you only telling me this now?

Now all of fucking Tromsø

has gone to Sweden.

- I should have told you right away. - You should have.

I was nervous you'd report her to the Gestapo.

There's no need to involve the Gestapo. As long as Kitty learns her lesson.

She will. I guarantee it.

- Good. Get the coffee. - Yes.

Thank you, Bjarne.

We let the sisters go.

Let them go?

They're criminals too, aren't they?

We can use them again. As negative agents or something.

Is it Bjarne Softheart I'm sitting here with?

GRANDE AND RINNAN'S OPERATION LEADS TO THE GESTAPO

ARRESTING MORE THAN 40 RESISTANCE MEMBERS IN MOLDE

THE BROTHERS OF SOLVEIG AND JOHANNE KLEVE

ARE ALSO AMONG THOSE ARRESTED

There was a kindergarten here before. In the basement.

Yes.

It's considerably safer than the headquarters in the city center.

SONDERABTEILUNG LOLA MOVES TO JONSVANNSVEIEN 46

- Hi, Bjarne. - Hi.

Finn. Set up security here.

Tell them they have to work shifts around the clock

and must not be seen from outside.

- Okay. - And security at my place. Okay?

We'll take care of that. Here's your office, by the way.

We've connected the phone in here to Bjarne's number.

Why here?

It was the safest place, with the least visibility.

Uh, Bjarne? Do you have time for a quick chat now?

What is it?

I can't sleep anymore.

I know many of the people we send to...

...the Gestapo.

And I know what happens to them there.

I'll give you different tasks, if you want. Right?

I want to quit Lola.

I can't force you, so...

Thank you, Bjarne.

Thank you.

Thanks for that.

And so tasty!

Yes, hello.

- Bjarne? It's me. - Solveig?

Yes.

The Germans have taken my brother and many other people.

I don't know what to do. Can you help us?

What are you saying?

Can you help us?

Solveig? Are you there?

- Are you there? Hello? - Hello?

- We need help, Bjarne. - Of course.

- Yes? - Just come.

- It's safe down here. - Thank you.

My daughter and I will come by boat as soon as we can. You're so kind.

When you arrive at Rinnan's house,

remember Dolmen always carries a sub-machine gun,

so keep an eye on him.

- Rinnan always carries a hand gun. - Odd, relax. I know. I've got it covered.

How are you doing, Brekke?

Uh, it's... it's jammed. So...

Johnny, take this.

A Luger is better for beginners.

Thanks.

Good luck in Trondheim. And let me know when the bastard's dead.

Of course.

Bjarne. We have new information about the attempt on your life.

Remember the girl who worked in the store below our offices? Åsbjørg?

She was tasked with keeping an eye on you.

It has a flaw, so I think you'll need to destroy it.

Not just that, she's also the sister of the deputy leader of the Thingstad gang.

So Thingstad is behind it.

Must be.

The pair of you run rings around the Gestapo.

We'll have that bastard arrested.

This is agent Lola. Let me speak to Kriminaloberassistent Boesten, please.

- Hauptscharführer Boesten is busy. - Yes, but tell him it's important.

We know for certain who tried to kill me.

He must be arrested. He must be arrested immediately. It's vitally important.

I'm sorry, Lola.

He says he doesn't have time for you at the moment. Try again later.

I've got two damn Eastern Front veterans standing right here, don't I?

Yes.

- Straight from Leningrad. - Stalingrad.

If the Germans won't help us, we'll have to take on those communists ourselves.

Without clearing it with the Gestapo first?

Are you sure?

Go.

Excuse me. You're watchmaker Thingstad, right?

Yes, but I'm closed now, so you'll have to come back tomorrow.

I have to travel on tonight. But I have some Jaeger watches to sell.

My husband is a watchmaker, and... he fled to Sweden.

Oh?

My car is right here if you want to have a look.

What's your husband's name, then? If he's a watchmaker, I probably know who he is.

Henry Thingstad. Welcome.

Now, get the typewriter.

Thingstad is going to tell us a few things. Into my office.

- What the hell are you doing? - I think it would be best now to...

Not now. Get out.

Have you completely lost your mind?

If the other communists realize Thingstad is gone,

his entire network will escape.

You'll ruin two years of infiltration.

And who did the infiltration?

I did!

Thingstad here has the names of the entire network in Trøndelag,

including those who tried to kill me.

Boesten doesn't care.

Or would you rather walk around as living targets? I didn't think so.

Thingstad, Thingstad, Thingstad. Talk to me.

Thingstad, Thingstad, Thingstad. Talk to me, talk to me.

I have to take a piss.

Would you like something from the kitchen, Thingstad?

Cognac or... water or... No?

Answer him! Come on, Thingstad. Come on.

I can have some water.

- What's going on? - It's been three hours now.

Thingstad's people could be en route to Sweden.

You should call Boesten. Admit what you've done. He can help us.

You've become very fond of Boesten.

How is he going to help us?

They have ways of making people talk. Before it's too late.

I see. Does everyone agree with the deputy leader here?

Yes?

- Isn't that a bit cowardly, guys? - Cowardly? What do you mean?

That the Germans should sort things out.

We can handle this ourselves.

Yeah, what? You mean we should do what the Germans do?

Do what the Germans do?

You'll send the poor man to be tortured, but you can't even say the word.

Is that it?

Have you heard of SS-Hauptsturmführer Walter Hollack?

He ties you up,

and he kicks you in the testicles until there's just dust left in your scrotum.

Let's just give Thingstad a few slaps.

And some rough treatment.

Get the names we need.

Then he can keep his testicles intact. Isn't that the best solution here and now?

No, it's not. We're agents, not torturers.

They have their methods for women, too.

What's that supposed to mean?

Where's Kitty, by the way?

I'm thinking we clean up in the basement.

So the neighbors won't complain.

Don't you have small children?

Okay, dear Comrade Thingstad.

We're ready to take notes.

Spit it out.

It's up to you.

Hold him.

Now! Now! You...

You Russian lover.

In this country, we have a very fitting saying:

"The end justifies the means."

What is your end goal anyway?

Damn. Petter.

Huh? This continues until you talk.

Now we call the Gestapo, Bjarne.

To report Kitty, you mean?

Please. No! No!

Just say those fucking names, Thingstad. He's going to kill you.

Everyone. Some refreshments.

Have some Panzer chocolate. Come on, everyone.

Is he dead?

Give me the poker.

Thingstad.

Last chance.

Bjarne, Bjarne, Bjarne. Stop.

Bergquist.

What did you say?

Gustav Bergquist.

Take it down.

Einar Trønsdal.

Thorleif Olsen.

Were you behind the grenade attack on me?

Stop, please!

Lola...

They are informants and provocateurs, not an action group!

Obersturmbannführer, there must be consequences!

He has revealed his entire network. All the communists in Trøndelag.

If the cooperation between Lola and the Gestapo is to continue,

there must be some changes.

From now on, I want complete control

over infiltration, interrogations and arrests.

I report to you, Flesch.

The only contact I want with Boesten is when I need resources.

Then, of course, he may contribute.

Sonderabteilung Lola will operate independently from now on.

Through our methods, we will crush the terrorists in Trøndelag.

Very good.

That wasn't so hard, was it?

There's blood on your shirt.

Shit.

Do you have an extra Pervitin, Petter?

- No. - No?

There she is.

Isn't she with the Home Front?

Shouldn't we just hit her on the back of the head and dump her in the sea?

Solveig!

Hi.

Hello. Sorry.

- I was afraid you weren't coming. - No, no, no. Hey.

Where is your daughter?

She's at her grandmother's. Maybe she'll come later.

I brought a present.

That's too bad.

- Petter, Solveig. Solveig, Petter. - Hi. Solveig.

Drive to the hat shop in Brattørgata, Petter. Solveig will stay there. There.

You'll be safe here.

You can stay for as long as you want. I'll do what I can for you.

Yes. I'm trying to get in touch with Anne-Marie's father in England, so...

Maybe a change of environment would be good after what happened.

- For Anne-Marie too. - In England?

- What happened? - I think I bumped into something.

Have they changed the plan? Aren't you going to kill him?

They're going to kidnap him. It's a completely idiotic idea.

Lyng wants to interrogate Rinnan personally.

That complicates everything.

A sedative injection?

He has to be shot. What the fuck is Lyng thinking?

The new orders are that we sneak up, wait until Dolmen has driven away,

then knock Rinnan unconscious, get him into the car,

I give him the injection, and then we get him across the border to Lyng.

And this has been approved? By Odd Sørli?

Can you warn them about this? Or can you stop it?

Lyng gave me the new orders after they'd crossed over to Norway.

It's too late now. But if anyone can pull it off, it's Johnny.

So you're not coming back to Trondheim, then?

I'm meeting the British now. A large delegation is coming.

So when are you coming home?

I don't know.

What I want, Edel, is for us to win this war.

So I can come home as soon as possible so we can get married and all that.

"And all that"?

Yes, or... I didn't mean it like that.

I didn't mean it like that.

I'm looking forward to "all that."

So am I.

I'll be home soon.

RINNAN'S RESIDENCE, OCTOBER 6

Someone's coming.

Didn't I ask Finn to post guards here? There's no one here.

Can I ask you something, Bjarne?

Yes.

I heard something about Vesla leaving Lola. Is that true?

I mean... Just like that?

There's someone in the bushes.

- We're too exposed. They'll see us. - Just stay put.

Be ready to take him when he comes out through the gate.

It's the Pervitin, Bjarne.

I've seen it before too. The men at the front became completely wired.

- They saw enemies everywhere. - Shut up, Petter.

I've been warned about this.

Turn the car around for me so you can shine your headlights into the bushes.

- What do we do? - Fuck. I don't know. They're backing up.

- Weapons up. Come on. - No. We take him alive. Ole.

Good. Wait, wait, wait. Pay attention. Let's keep watching.

- This is madness. We're aborting! - Stay here! Ole!

Fuck!

Petter! Petter! Fuck, there they are! Go, go, go!

Hey! Wait!

Stop, I said!

Petter!

Ole!

Petter!

Fall back! Run!

Hey. Hey. Hey.

Petter.

Heard from Johnny and the guys?

No.

They thought they could get me...

My God!

- What's going on? Are you hurt? - Isn't it funny, Klara?

What?

That the Norwegian Army didn't want me.

What do you mean?

Because I am immortal.

Petter will be fine.

But he needs surgery.

Now there have been two attempts on my life.

And they could have been avoided.

And Petter could have been here with us today.

Where was the security, Finn?

When Vesla handed me her resignation,

she told me that lack of discipline

within Lola was the reason why she wanted to leave.

That commands respect, that kind of honesty.

And it was important information for me.

So I let her go.

I was made for this.

I was made to lead Lola.

Don't you see? I will protect you like my own family.

Against these... communists

and criminal jøssings.

Soon they'll come for you too.

But then I need discipline.

Loyalty.

Solidarity.

Can I have that?

- Yes. - Good. Good.

This is your employment contract.

I want you to sign it now.

"Lex Rinnan." Rinnan's Law?

The second lieutenant knows Latin. That's good. Here.

The death penalty for opposing Rinnan?

And the death penalty for leaving the unit without permission?

Yes. Is it funny, Kitty?

Huh? You've violated several of the clauses here.

With that blunder of yours in Tromsø.

- Ivar said it was okay. - Yes, sure.

Just relax. That was before Lex Rinnan.

I'm not entirely unreasonable.

I'm thinking...

one of these concentration camps might suit you.

In Poland or Germany or...

They have separate ones now, just for women.

You don't mean that.

You put all of us in danger.

You informed on me.

To a resistance fighter.

You put all of us in danger.

There will be consequences.

Hey, now you need to fucking stop. This is madness.

We can vote.

Are there others who agree with the deputy leader that this is madness?

Take her to the Mission Hotel. I've arranged the rest with Flesch.

Henry...

Take her to the Mission Hotel! I've arranged the rest with Flesch.

Henry, are you insane? Let go of me!

FEBRUARY 15, 1943

Hey, you can't just stand there and watch!

RINNAN SENDS KITTY LORANGE TO RAVENSBRÜCK

- Calm down. - Let me go!

Now, everyone! Now we'll get the bastards who put Dolmen in the hospital.

Have a talk with the deputy leader here,

because he is, after all, after all, the deputy leader.

Let go of me. Fucking rapist. Let go of me.

What do you think?

Will you sign for me?

It requires a strong leader with authority and power,

not a talking democracy.

The common good must come before self-interest.

That is the great goal.

We raise our hands in the old Norwegian salute and sing the national anthem.

Yes, we love this land arising

Stormbeat o'er the sea

With its thousand homes, enticing

Rugged though it be

Love it, love it, not forgetting

Those we owe our birth

Nor that night of saga letting...

He says his name is Øyvind Svendsen.

Do you know him, Brekke? He claims he's just a mechanic.

That's... that's Johnny Pevik.

I met him in Stockholm. He took part in the assassination attempt.

He's a friend of the man you're after.

Odd Sørli.

The gloves are off now.

We're going to find Odd Sørli, even if we have to skin you alive.
