X Company

After the sobering losses at Dieppe, Sinclair joins the team in Paris galvanized by the possibility of cultivating Franz Faber as a double agent. But is Faber’s wife onside? An unwitting traitor by association, Sabine is a risk to herself and the entire team if she makes one wrong move – and she’s nowhere to be found. The two spymasters face off, world-class poker players gambling with human lives. Is the Brigadefuhrer really willing to help the Allies, or is it just the first move in a long con? When Sabine surfaces, Faber and the team are shocked to learn she’s with her father Obergruppenfuhrer Ulrich Schmidt, Minister of Natural Resources and one of Himmler's inner circle. Would Sabine seek the solace of the only other man she’s loved to betray her husband and the team? Meanwhile, Neil learns where Miri might be imprisoned, and against Sinclair’s orders races to her rescue. Back at Camp X, Krystina goes undercover to ruthlessly hunt down Faber’s Canadian agent.

Sinclair and Faber agree on a direction – save lives and end the war early by targeting the German oil supply. Faber reluctantly allows Alfred and Aurora to go undercover at his lavish promotion party. Sabine’s father Obergruppenfuhrer Schmidt oversees the German oil supply, and Sinclair wants Aurora to get closer to him. As Aurora cozies up to Schmidt, Alfred breaks into his hotel room and discovers a top-secret file: Operation Marigold. Details are scarce, but it’s clear the classified operation could lead to a massive surge in oil production paving the way to a Nazi victory. Sabine arrives late at her husband’s party, disheveled, tipsy...and ready to expose them all. Meanwhile outside Paris, Neil and Harry are desperate to save Miri from a public execution. The Nazis are killing prisoners one by one, trying to intimidate an entire village into giving up Jacques Rigaud, one of France’s most famous resistance fighters. Back at Camp X, Krystina is locked in a battle of wits with Faber’s captured spy Schroeder. A successful interrogation could prove she’s ready for the field.

The team gathers Resistance leaders to meet with exiled hero Jacques Rigaud. Days before the Nazis seize control of unoccupied France, Rigaud has returned to French soil to send a message to its citizens: stand up and fight. When he’s captured by the Gestapo, Harry and Neil put their lives on the line to make sure Rigaud’s inspiring words are heard by a nation. Meanwhile, Sabine’s father Obergruppenfuhrer Schmidt pulls strings to get Faber reassigned to Poland. Schmidt wants his daughter close, and Faber by his side to protect top-secret Operation Marigold. As Faber tries to cut ties with the team, Sinclair resorts to desperate measures to keep him onside.

Sabine’s hopes for a fresh start are shattered when Faber reveals they’ve been blackmailed into bringing the Allied spies with them to Poland. Knowing the alternative is being hanged for treason, Sabine reluctantly agrees to allow Aurora to travel with her as a friend of the family. Once aboard the luxury train, Aurora connects with Heidi Adler, a vivacious independent German woman who works alongside Schmidt in Poland. Aurora senses an opportunity to get closer to Operation Marigold – but the train is hijacked by a fierce group of Polish resistance fighters, and all lives are suddenly on the line as Franz Faber is taken hostage. Meanwhile, Alfred, Neil, and Harry’s journey is no easier. Without proper papers they’re forced to travel through Germany on a train bound for Poland’s concentration camps…

Sheltered at a Polish resistance camp, Alfred and Neil meet with leader Janowski who’s holding Faber hostage, and has no idea they’re working together. Neil teeters on the edge of violence, blaming Faber for the comrades they’ve lost. Alfred struggles to keep Neil in line and work on a rescue plan – getting Faber out of the camp alive is the only way they can get close to Operation Marigold. Aurora finds herself cut off from the others, alone and undercover as Helene Bauer. She’s sickened to learn what her new job entails at the Race and Resettlement office in Pruszko, Poland. Back at Camp X, Krystina demands an explanation: why is Sinclair sending two young trainees into the field in Poland instead of her? Sinclair refuses to give her a straight answer.

Edsel brings Faber alarming news: a captured Polish fighter has revealed there’s a mole working among them at Nazi HQ here in Pruszko, and two Allied agents working with the local Resistance. Schmidt urgently needs Faber to capture the two agents: it’s critical to know whether or not the Allies are aware of his top-secret project Operation Marigold. Aurora survives the Nazi investigation into the leaked intelligence, but when the Jewish office workers are blamed, Aurora must walk the terrible line between keeping her own cover and keeping them safe. Meanwhile, Faber brings Neil, Alfred, and two new recruits closer to the heart of Operation Marigold, only it seems to betray them. The new recruits are captured, and Neil is furious when Camp X orders him to stand down from rescuing them. Alfred discovers that Operation Marigold isn’t about a refinery – it’s about a scientist who holds the key to Nazi victory. Sinclair has his hands full managing secret communications with Faber, while coping with the loss of two new agents, a mutinous team, and Krystina’s request for a transfer.

The team now knows Operation Marigold is the brainchild of Professor Voigt, a reclusive scientist working on a secret formula for synthetic oil production that could propel the Nazis to victory. Their new goal is clear: assassinate Voigt. Aurora realizes the only way she can get close to their target is to get Schmidt to invite her to Berlin for the Reich’s Tenth Anniversary, where the professor will be receiving an award. To earn the exclusive invitation, she must prove she is a committed Nazi, which corners her into a shocking and unspeakable act. Meanwhile, German troops are descending on the Polish town of Nadzieja aiming to “purge” it to make room for incoming German settlers. Alfred and Neil join forces with the Resistance guerrillas and stage a fierce battle in the streets. Alfred is deeply shaken by the random senseless death of innocents, and his memory begin to overwhelm him. Aurora can’t shrug off the horror of living in Helene Bauer’s world, and finds herself drawn closer to Faber. Schmidt presents Sabine with an unsettling gift.

The Nazis are days away from celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Reich, and Aurora’s secured a spot at the heart of the celebrations. The team plans to assassinate Professor Voigt and put an end to Operation Marigold, but the mission seems doomed before it even begins. Heidi Adler has figured out that Aurora is a spy. Neil and Alfred do everything to try and save her before her cover is blown. But Heidi’s interrogation is brutal, and Aurora finds herself in a fight for her life. Meanwhile, Edsel has done some sleuthing of his own, and when he finds proof that Faber is working in collaboration with the Allies, Edsel goes over his boss’s head straight to Obergruppenfuhrer Schmidt.

Faber and Aurora meet in secret to lock down the plan for the assassination of Professor Voigt. Security will be airtight at the Nazi Gala, but Faber promises to deliver the scientist for Aurora to kill – “as long as Sinclair keeps his side of the bargain.” The team is shocked to discover Sinclair’s son is alive, and that Sinclair has agreed to exchange him for the blackmail recording of Sabine. Neil is outraged that Sinclair would throw away their only leverage, but Sinclair is convinced Faber will keep his word on principle. Meanwhile, Faber’s loyalty is questioned by the Gestapo elite.

Alfred arrives back at the safe-house to find Krystina alone, no Sinclair, no Neil, and no William; all of whom should have been back hours ago. Panic sets in as they realize Aurora could be walking into a trap. Neil faces a brutal interrogation at the Gestapo prison. Meanwhile Aurora, unaware of the fate of her team, arrives at the Nazi Gala. She’s unarmed - no gun, no knife, no pills - completely vulnerable. Faber is there to protect her, but his loyalty to the Allies has seemingly evaporated. Will Aurora be able to exterminate Voigt, and deliver a crippling blow to the Nazi war machine? Or has this been a long slow walk straight into the hands of the enemy?
