why shouldn't. - Because of...

Because of what?

Because?

Because I've done more and achieved

more here than in my entire life.

Reines, you haven't achieved

a damn thing here.

One more chance. Please.

How you equip yourself over the next few days

will determine how you judge for the rest of your life.

- Depends on you.

- Thanks.

- Sargeant Grey.

- Thanks sir.

Thank you, sir.

Top with your head, Reines.

Well, looks official.

Come on lads, we've been

called to the conference.

Come on.

Okay, let's do it.

Mr. Reines, exit please.

- What's up, Sargeant?

- Just wait here laddie.

- Come on, Sargeant.

- Hello.

After you

At ease, soldier.

So... you are my escaped convict, are you?

- Can't you speak?

- Yes, sir.

I am. I did, sir

I want he back. It's a bloody mess.

- Some people told me they want your head.

- Sorry, sir.

If these were ordinary times,

major Jones would be court-martialed

And you would be shot.

But these are extraordinary times.

And major Jones is

an exceptional leader.

You're in luck.

I persuaded them to let you

stay in this operation.

- Thank you, sir.

- Don't thank me.

- I won't let you down.

- No you won't.

I'd rather you not to take notes.

Gentlemen, we are the masters

of our own fate.

Or at least it should be.

For this reason, I like many others,

have been exploring innovative ideas

to destroy the enemy.

I need men like you

men with courage and honour.

Indeed we live in a age of honour.

With the honour comes

duty. And sacrifice.

We're not naive to death.

But you

You are the first of a new breed.

A special force. An elite smashing grab

unit working behind the enemy lines.

This trade and its success

will define all future operations.

Major.

Operation Grendel, Norway.

That's where we head to.

Now, this tower and many like them

are protecting our shores

are known as RDF.

Jerry also has the RDF,

the name is Freya.

Instruments that spotting out our

ships and aircraft miles away.

And giving Luftwaffe an advantage.

Our mission:

infiltrate the occupied Norway.

Assaulting a communication station

in the mountain range in north of Bergen.

I say assault because Jerry spoke for

demolition job but this is a secondary aim,

the primary purpose of this mission is to get out

of their hands latest generation of RDF technology.

Sergeant Ballright, if you not mind.

Good morning.

The basic operating principle of

RDF is very simple.

The volume of sky to be kept under surveillance

is literally flood lit with our RF pulse energy.

The backscattered pulses or... echoes of all

aircraft within the vicinity receives

a group of posts in the ground stations

that are received by a set of cross...

Ballright...

In English, please.

The kit that the Major was referring to, is the latest,

most advanced technology we've seen in the world to date.

Where I work we're developing an equipment

that can jam the signal to their radio towers.

However,

we believe they have developed

an anti-jamming device.

So rendering our work completely redundant.

If they have it, I need to see it the real

thing. Analyze it and steal its technology.

Thank you.

Allright, flight Sargeant Ballright, will

accompany you on your excursion.

Treat him with kindness.

Down to details.

I've been informed we have a lot of

contact with an agent.

We've beeen given detail about our rendezvous

but we will keep contact to absolutely minimum.

Insertion by plane. It will be

a tactical airlanding.

The aircraft will make so many changes.

A parachute drop, maybe considered

if the weather it takes.

- Extraction by sea.

- So...

- Any questions?

- Our position.

General details, a fifth alpine

division is in the region.

We'll have to ask Beowulf the exact

numbers of the objectives.

But it's unlikely to be more

than a platoon.

- Are they any good sir?

- Yes, very.

So are we.

- They're not expecting us.

- Exactly.

I have to go back to London. I leave

Ballright here to get aquainted.

I wish you Godspeed.

And good luck.

Okay lads, we have much

to do, outside.

You too, Mr. Ballright. Looks like

we're gonna have to teach you how to shoot.

I know how to shoot.

Get out of your fancy dress

and you can show us how is done.

Down your head.

You were right with him, though.

He is a clever man.

Seems to know much about

our RDF setup.

The Magnetron.

We must be careful with Jerry.

Very good.

Steiner.

May I help you?

I just wanted to give this

to commander Fleming.

Of course.

I wondered if you could give this to...

I will make sure that she receives it.

These are the men wills

in the event of...

I want last thing, Jack.

Beowulf's gone dark

Make sure theres

nothing to worry about.

Reines.

Tell me, Boss.

I want you to look out him.

No problem.

Please, don't snatch.

Three short bursts. Again.

I've some researched on your records.

You brought all your men

back. Why don't you tell me this?

I did my best.

Yes. you were up for a medal.

You never get it, of course.

Don't be afraid, Mr. Ballright.

Keep him close at all

times once we're on the ground.

Three short bursts.

He is the nephew of someone important.

If this operation fails

We know what will.

- Yes, I get a pitch on that.

- Really?

Yes, a babysitting job: simple.

If it looks like he's going to be captured.

Or if he is... you shoot him.

By the way...

you would have this.

Sir.

Keep well.

Major Jones

You don't have to worry about me.

I won't slow you down.

I've already had some training.

Actually, I applied to join

a commando unit once...

But they didn't have me.

It seems that my talents lies elsewhere.

- I just wanted to do my bet.

- You're certainly doing your bet.

Good to have you on board.

This is Bob Reines. He will watch your

back on the ground.

- Delighted.

- A pleasure.

Short burst... more control, great accuracy.

Let's go through it again.

We meet with agent Beowulf

on the ground at...

3267678. We landed in

a disused warehouse.

- Enemy forces:

- 5th alpine. That's easy, sir.

Mission:

Cover the storming of the enemy

communication center to 277,890.

Protect air infiltration and extraction.

Go to the control room, lay

diversion charges along the way.

Secure the equipment inside the base Freya.

Gable will then set the timed charges.

Secure the intelligence

inside the Freya heart.

And if you ladies manage to do this without

awaken the commandant...

then we should be moving to RV

grid 277995... to watch the fireworks.

We get back to the RV, then the

submarine will brought us home.

Aye... Grab the kits and get some rest.

We leave tomorrow night.

15 minutes.

Go! Go!

Come on.

React.

How many more are there?

What is your mission?

- Are you okay?

- I thought I was going to be shot.

So do I.

What is this?

Boss.

Gable?

Broken neck.

- Have you had contact?

- No, all clear.

Our problem is this.

We should be on the other

side of this bloody lake.

Now, we lost most of our kits and,
