WIND WHISTLES
THEY CHUCKLE
- PHONE RINGS - Full storm and snow.
Weather's getting heavier throughout the day.
- Still nothing from Grouse? - No. Not since yesterday.
- The weather's so heavy, they can't get through. - Thank you.
The pilots are worried they were dropped too far north.
Should've been dropped... here.
Instead...
- .. they are here. - How far's that?
- 23-24 miles. - How long will it take?
In heavy snow? About a day.

Happy reunions and ready to go.
So far, a massive success. May I?
What?
Nothing.
Come on, what?
You're smiling.
Well, I have been known to. [SCOFFS]
I didn't know you could sing.
Well, there's a lot you don't know about me.
Captain Julie Smith, head of Norwegian operations.
One of six siblings, only girl.
Graduated at the top of her year at local state school.
Made the front page in the local paper.
Apparently, it never happened before.
Well, there were a few men before me.
Still impressive.
Hm.
Listen, I'm sorry if I was insensitive.
When?
About your husband. I didn't know he was missing in action.
Lots of people are.
The truth is, we argued all the time.
I was glad when he was called up.
I thought about absence making the heart grow stronger, and all that.
Hm!
But he's been gone for such a long time...
.. I think I've forgotten how to miss him.
Does that... make me... make me sound awful?
No.
I understand.
HE CHUCKLES
Change of plan. They're going down the ravine.
What? Why are you changing the plan?
The men say the bridge is heavily guarded. There's ice on the river.
They already got one man down.
He crossed the river, then he got up again.
So it's doable.
Yes, but the risks are enormous.
- Same departure time? - Yes. 20:00.
That's now. They're going down now.

They went down here and now they're there, waiting.
I suppose no news is good news, for... a while, anyway.
FAINT CHATTER
OK, one minute.
Counting down.
SHE SIGHS
LOW CHATTER
Go in through the gate here.
And Storhaug will go down here to guard the bridge.
The six guys remaining will go down this way.

They've done it. Every water tank's blown to bits.
And they're all out, all safe, up on the highlands,
heading for Sweden tomorrow.
Ha! I think this calls for a stiff drink, don't you?
♪ a bloody double!
SHE LAUGHS
- All right with everyone? - Think so.
- Thank you, sir. - Cheers! - Cheers!
- Well done, everyone. - No, no, no. - What?
- The Norwegian way. - Yes, Skal. - It's important. Wait, wait, wait!
- One at a time. - Tronstad....
- I'm bloody thirsty! - Captain Smith and I would like to drink our whisky.
- Skal! - Thank you. Skal! - Drink up! - Cheers!
- THEY LAUGH - Skal.
