Episode Overview
During a night mission practice, Vendry's unit is on their trail. They manage to change direction and evade detection, but "Chub" struggles to stay on target due to his thoughts of his girl, Kitty. Later, on the actual mission in Norway to rescue the famed resistance leader Arn Borg, they’re instructed to locate the King Frederick light. However, it turns out to be a setup, and the Germans are lying in wait. Their plane comes under fire, but they successfully land and retrieve Borg, who brings his son, Christian, along. Back at base, Gallagher is frustrated when he finds Borg's map nearly impossible to decipher. After Borg flees, they decide to take Christian to guide them. Borg returns and pilots the mission, leading them to bomb what appears to be a heavy water facility, achieving their objective before he heads back to Norway.
