The Norwegian Mole 3
Episode 1

Seton Lake - British Columbia, Canada

Day 24 - Finale
At an island in a lake, we see a table. Four people are sitting at it: the host (Ove Christian Owe), the loser, the winner and The Mole. But we don't see anyone but the host.
24 days earlier, 12 people started a journey through Canada to take part in a few challenges. One by one, contestants had to leave, because they did not known the identity of the saboteur in the group, the person that would try and let most challenges fail and not to win any money, The Mole.

They fly from Vancouver to Ballenas Island. In the plane, they already get instructions for the first assignment. They hear the host telling them they have to look for 12 metal cylinders on the island they will land at. Tone and Hakon get an envelope with instruction and they all read it. They get one hour to find the 12 cylinders and can win 30,000 NOK (Norway Kroner) with it.

They all set out to try to find the cylinders. They get a metal detector, which Truls is using. Solveig is helping him by digging where the metal detector makes noise. They also have a little map of the island. There's a spot with the Canadian flag hanging on a pole. Trond goes to it and finds a cylinder, a walki-talki and a shovel and calls Cathrine. There's a note on the cylinder, describing the position of another cylinder.
Solveig is looking in a stump and finds a cylinder. There's another one close to her in a tree branch, but she doesn't see it.
Ingrid C and Mohamed haved teamed up and walk through the bushes. Mohamed is whining because the branches scratch his leg, but Ingrid C doesn't seem to have much trouble with it.
Trond and Cathrine have found the other cylinder and read the instructions on it.
Petter and Tone are teamed up together too, but they're not finding much, just like Ingrid K and Matti.
Trond finds another one of the cylinders, Cathrine didn't see it.
Time's up and they have only found 4 cylinders. The challenge has failed.

Ingrid K has another envelope with instructions where to find something. She takes a look at that place and finds a video message. They all watch. It's a video of the host, telling them they get the camping gear needed to camp on the island for the night.

Day 2 - Ballenas Island
The host arrives at the island and tells them they have to repack each other's luggage. They probably have to stay under a certain amount in weight.
Petter and Solveig have to repack each other's luggage. Later it turns out Solveig isn't very happy with the way Petter repacked her luggaged. She hasn't got much clothes left anymore for a possible journey of 24 days.
Nothing much suspicious happens for the rest of the packing.

They have to put their personal belongings such as wallets and stuff into a bag. The production crew keeps it until they are eliminated, so they don't have to watch out not losing it or anything. They each get one of the metal cylinders, which they have to keep on them all the time and not allowed to open it.

They all get on a boat and have to select someone. It has something to do with the luggage, but I don't know what. The person chosen is:
Trond
He has to put on a wet suit and then is thrown overboard! Suddenly an speed boat arrives and they take him into the boat. He's being handcuffed and a bag is pulled over his head. The speed boat races past the boat with the contestants and then goes away. He's kidnapped!
The others are taken to French Creek, where they hear they have to rescue Trond. They get a car, boat and helicopter to do this and get one hour to complete the challenge. If they succeed, they win 30,000 NOK.
Trond is locked up in some shed at Fanny Bay (but the contestants don't know it).
The car team is:

Truls (driver)        Mohamed            Ingrid K                Tone                    Matti

They have a cellphone with which they can call Trond for free for 30 seconds. If they phone longer, it costs 5,000 NOK per 30 seconds. They search through the car to find clues, but don't find much yet, apart from the cellphone.

The helicopter team is:

Hakon                   Anette

The boat team:

Cathrine               Ingrid C               Solveig                Petter

They search through the boat too. Ingrid C finds a walki-talki. Petter finds a polaroid of a bay, Cathrine finds another polaroid and a small piece of paper with some kind of address on it.

The car team has also found the polaroids in their car. Ingrid K and Tone get out to ask someone about it. A guy tells them it's Fanny Bay. Tone asks if they are on the right road. They are and they just have to follow it. Mohamed also gets out and asks if he has seen the boat before. "Yep, an hour north."

Anette is sitting next to the helicopter pilot. She has a map which kind of indicates where Trond is held hostage and she has to guide the pilot to that place. She thinks they're quite right.

The boat team is still searching the boat. After a while they decide to start moving, but they don't know where to. Petter takes control and tells the owner of the boat where to go to. The ladies aren't sure of it yet, though.

Hakon (helicopter) now has the polaroids too. One of it is of a road sign and the letters 'Y BAY' are on it. They search for something that looks like it.

25 minutes 35 seconds left. Ingrid C (boat) tries to contact the others on walki-talki, but doesn't hear anyone, nor does anyone hear her. Anette (helicopter) is trying to contact the others too. Mohamed (car) keeps on replying that he hears her, but aparently she can't hear him... Petter hears Anette on the walki-talki when he's inside the boat where there's not so much noise. Anette tells him to go to Fanny Bay. The boat team looks up in the air to see if they can see the helicopter, but they don't. Anette also tells the car team to go to Fanny Bay and Mohamed agrees, because that's also what the other guy said.
The helicopter flies over the boat and the girls scream at it. But they have probably seen each other.
The car stops and Tone and Matti ask a shop owner if the ship on the polaroid is anywhere near there. The shop owner says it is just five minutes away and they can't miss it because it's a really big boat.
The helicopter lands at Fanny Bay. Trond hears them and gets out of his chair and jumps to the door, because his hands and legs are tied together. He starts whistling and yelling and banging on the door. The boat is nearby too.
Mohamed decides to use the phone now to ask where he is. Trond tells him where to go to. They use 2 seconds more than the free time.

Three minutes left... Hakon yells to the boat team to ask if they have a key. They say they have and show it. The car team arrives with Hakon and Anette and they realise they don't have any key and run back to the car and search through it.
Hakon and Anette cross the water with a rowing boat to get to the shed where Trond is locked up. Anette gets out and tries to open the door with her key as Hakon rows back to get the other people who have keys.
Truls finally finds the key and they run back. Anette can't open the door with the key, put there's a hole in the roof and she gives the key to Trond, who can use it to take off his handcufs. Tone and Petter arrive too. One and a half minute left when  One of the two keys opens the cuffs on Trond's legs and the other opens the door. They made it in the nick of time! 5,000 NOK are taken off of the total amount of money, because they used more than 30 seconds of the free time to call. So they win 25,000 NOK.

Suspicious in this episode
Cathrine, Trond and Solveig were the only ones who found cylinders.
Solveig found one cylinder, but didn't look at the instructions on it, which lead to another location of a cylinder.
Petter didn't pack much of Solveig's clothes.
Ingrid C can't contact anyone with the walkit-talki. She's standing outside on the boat, where there's a lot of noise, so it's already difficult to hear anyone clearly.
The car team didn't find the key in the car. It was at the backseat, where Tone, Matti and Ingrid K were sitting.
Mohamed used 2 seconds more than the free 30 seconds, costing 5,000 NOK, but Trond can also be blamed for this.

Elimination
Just like in the Polish series, the Norwegian elimination is with green and red feathers. They have to open their envelopes themselves. Though it doesn't seem like anyone is leaving this episode. They have to select two people. Cathrine and Truls are chosen and they go away with the host...
