Whiskey on the Rocks S01E02 · Hold the Boarder

Overview

Prime Minister Thorbjörn Fälldin hastens to Stockholm where he gathers representatives of the government and military. The Bolshevik-hating Commander-in-Chief, Börje Lagercrantz, argues that Sweden is under attack and that the only reasonable course of action is to counter-attack, but the Secretary of State, Ola Ullsten, advises caution, prompting Börje to leave the meeting in a fury. On the submarine, the situation for Captain Peskov and his crew becomes increasingly desperate. The submarine is firmly stuck and they are fearful of the punishment they will receive when (or if) they do get home. New orders come from the Kremlin that Captain Peskov must blow up the submarine if the Swedes try to board the vessel, an action that is a tempting solve to most of his problems.
