There you could at least look the enemy in the eye.
It was us or them.
Now the enemy is behind youm around you.
Everywhere.
They torture and kill my friends to get their hands on me.
Someone has to lead.
I've led them into something from which there is no way out.
- Are you laughing? - Yesm I'm sorry.
- I just poured my heart out. - I'm sorry.
I had no idea you were so... sentimental.
What's wrong with that? Boys get like that when they drink.
Gregers said you cried when you watched "Gone with the wind".
- Christ! And I consider him a brother! - I thought he was kidding.
What did you think when you heard it? That I had cried.
Nothing to be ashamed of.
- I'm not ashamed. Are you? - No. Should I be ashamed of something?
I don't know... You're drinking with two Norwegians boozers until the wee hours.
- What does your husband think? - He's in England.
We're still marriedm yes...
But we aren't exactly "married", if you know what I mean.
OK...
- What are you doing? - Pulling my foot back out.
- You have a lousy sense of humour. - But you're laughing!
Hitlerm Goebbels and Hitler came into a bar...
- Hitler and Hitler? - Himmler! Don't spoil the joke.
- What is it? - Sabotage.
- No. - It's sabotage...
Now what?
Is it safe? Are you sure? Yesm sir!
Who taught you to dance?
- A prostitute in Havana. - Right.
I was 14. She was like a mother to me.
- Have you been to Havana? - Yes.
Toot-toot!
Dad sent me to an uncle in Cuba to make a man of me.
Mission failed.
Whiskey?
Yes.
Did you leave home at 14?
No.
It's a long story.
- Let's see if you can dance. - No way!
All right.
Come on.
See? I just needed you to balance me.
I have to go.
You don't have to do anything.
See you later.
MRS ØYNEBRÅTEN'S APARTMENT 2 FRICH STREET, OSLO
- Why doesn't it have a hammer? - It's hidden.
So you can fire through your pocket without it getting stuck.
Cover girl?!
Let me see.
No reward?
Olav will be joining you from now on.
- We don't need any more men. - Of course we do!
- Hi. Olav. - Welcome.
I'm serious. Be carefulm Max. Half of my network is gone.
I sleep in a different place every night. Take all necessary precautions.
I'll just stay with the boys.
If you need mem ask for a Turkish pretzel at Andersen Bakers in Grønland.
What if we just get a Turkish pretzel?
- There's no such thing. - I'm sure I've had a Turkish pretzel!
- Nom I think that was a Turkish pastry. - Forget about the pretzel!
Be carefulm Max. You can't dive through a window every time.
- What happened? - He dropped the gun.
- I'm dead. My heart... - Call an ambulance!
- He's wanted! He can't go to hospital! - My dad is a doctor.
- Get him! - I'm sorry.
- Shit... Gregersm Tallak... - Be quiet.
- Brothersm the King... Damn... - He's shot through the legm too!
- In two places. - It went through the leg first...
- What? - Christ!
- I can see the bullet. - You can?
It's just a little fragment.
Damn, you scared me!
It still hurts like hell!
I couldn't get all the pieces out and I can't operate.
- You have to get to a hospital. - I can't go to a hospital.
Then get to Sweden as fast as you can. It could get infected.
I can't leave the boys.
Hellm what do I know? I've only been a doctor for 30 years.
Does he need any more bandagesm doctorm or pills...?
- I can't leave now. You understand that? - You're no good with an amputated leg.
- Come with me to Sweden. - No.
One of us has to stay here, Max.
Make sure the boys don't blow up the Palace or something.
- It's wrong to split up now. - You'll be back soon.
Here.
So you don't forget what we're going to do when you come home.
I'm such an idiot!
You know what?
You're absolutely right.
Stop!
Are you sure about this? They are Germans.
They must have realised which way the war is turning.
- You don't have to do this. - No, I'm fine.
- There you are. - This is a friend of mine.
Excellent. Have a seat.
I have ordered coffee. Ersatz coffee.
- Could you please sit there? - Sure.
I am so glad you contacted me.
We are always interested in information on the Gestapo.
But I need to make sure you are on our side.
This is a...
This is a dangerous...
.. game...
Keep calm!
Don't shoot!
Gregers!
Stop!
This one is still alive.
- There. Take it easy for a few days. - Thank you.
Hi!
Gunnar?
- They haven't taken Kolbeinm have they? - No.
Gregers?
That can't be.
That doesn't make any sense.
- When did you find out? - This morning.
That can't be right!
Tikken, that doesn't make any sense!
How?
He was at a café. An ambush.
I knew it. I knew it. I should never have left!
- Max... You can't blame yourself. - Was anyone else there?
Tallak. He has been arrested.
- When is the next train to the border? - Max. You can't leave now.
They'll catch you too! You can't save everyonem Max!
I can save him!
How can you leave now? Don't you understand?
You're safe here. Right here! Don't leave now.
How can you ask me to stay?
I don't know who you think I am.
I'm just an errand boy.
I don't know anything!
Don't make this hard for yourselfm Mr Tallaksen.
Could you play some other music?
Take it easy. We have plenty of time.
Torture, like a symphony, consists of several movements.
This is the first.
You can die quickly and without pain...
.. once you have told us everything.
Merry Christmas.
Are you going home to celebrate?
- I'm visiting a friend. - I don't understand Norwegian.
To a friend.
I have a daughter her age.
I hope I'll be home next year.
You want to go home?
Cheers, my friend! Enough of this war.
Here, cigarettes.
Thank you.
You have no idea how happy I am.
You may be one of the men I kill when we sink the Donau.
Perhaps you'll lie there in the ice-cold water screaming for your mother.
We are both going to die.
But I can die with a smile on my lips because I know we are going to win.
Gregers knew that. Tallak smiled as he unbuttoned his shirt.
He knew we'd win, with or without him. Just like we know we're going to die...
Just like we know...
This is where I get off.
PARTY AT EGIL'S AND VESLA'S BRING THIS! KOLBEIN
The offensive on the Western Front will break through the western lines.
- And then we'll take Antwerp. - I don't see that happening.
And once we have Antwerpm we can negotiate for peace.
- Then move our troops to the East. - I don't believe in negotiating.
And I don't think this "total war"m in which we find ourselves, will allow for it.
Fortunately we will never have to negotiate over Norway.
- Here's to good old Fortress Norway. - To Norway.
Take it apartm then clean... and oil it...
so it is lubricated... Then you have...
- Where is Max? - In there.
The Germans have broken through in the Ardennes.
- Where? - On the Western Front.
- Hitler will empty Norway of troops. - Good.
- 300,000 rested soldiers to the front? - What's that got to do with us?
We have to make sure not a single German leaves Norway.
We've been fighting to get rid of them and now you want us to keep them here?
Don't you get it? This could mean they'll win the war!
Max! Gunnar and the others are blowing up the railroads.
Then there's the Donau. That no one has done anything with.
- She's still in service. - English planes can handle it.
The Donau has shot down half the RAF! We have to do this now.
Roy! I'm still in command here.
Who the hell are all these people? Get the hell out of here!
- Get out! - Max...
What are you doingm Max?
- You can't take the Donau alone! - I'm sick of people dying around me.
- Don't be stupid! - Didn't you hear Roy?
The Donau has five companies, tons of weapons and equipment.
- One man is worth it! - No.
- However we do itm we do it together. - Have you been down there?
We have one chance. And the price is one life.
- It's my turn. - Your turn to what?
- Out. - Your turn to whatm Max?
Gregers and Tallak weren't just your friends! Why do you need to die too?
Listen to Roy!
We're the only ones left. We're doing this togetherm
and we're getting out of it alive!
- Should we wait? - I ate some bad eggs.
It's slippery here!
- Hello. We're the electricians. - Electricians? I haven't been told.
Damnit, Jonna! I told you to report this.
They're probably going to fix that connection in the control room.
OK. Go through.
That's new.
May we please enter? We have a job to do.
- Of course. - Thank you.
Please use the exit on the other side.
Here. Roy!
Hold it steady!
- Did they see us? - Nom I don't think so!
Heym have you been swimming?
- What's that? - So it looks like we fixed something.
- Is everything OK? - We need some more tools.
- We'll be back tomorrow. - Make sure your documents are in order!
- All right. Excuse me. - Don't mention it.
One moment.
- Who are they? - Electricians.
Haven't I seen you before?
I don't know. I live nearby.
No.
Do you play football?
Just wait until sunrise, and the bombs will go off.
- Careful across the border. - Likewise.
The bombs were most likely planted before the Donau left the harbour.
Get me a casualty list.
My God...
They have sabotaged all the railway lines.
The have blown up the lines Kongsvingerm Drammenm Moss...
- Not one line left. - In one night?
This can't be happening.
Isn't it time we used harsher measures?
We are being tested, Höhler.
Now, more than ever, it is essential that we show strength.
Find the addresses of everyone under suspicion.
We must crush them, once and for all.
- Max? - Hi!
Where have you been?
- Don't do... - Can we...
- Can we go somewhere? - Nom not now, Max.
I leave tomorrow.
We received a telegram that the Donau sank outside Drøbak.
That's fantastic.
Is there anything I can help you with? Anything you need?
Don't do this. Please?
Our primary target is here. 2 Frich Street.
Four identified individuals. Two unknown.
All are heavily armed and prepared to resist.
Yes. Yes. Yes. No. No.
I take full responsibility. Yes. We strike tomorrow.
Yes. Heil Hitler.
Nom wait! Wait! Wait!
You have to get out now. They're striking all over town.
- Where? - At Kolbein's. He shot his way out.
- Where is he? - He's fine..
- They probably took Mrs Øynebråten. - Probably? What are you talking about?
If they know about Kolbein'sm they know about Mrs Øynebråten's.
You have to go to Sweden. I have to get everyone out.
You have to go to Sweden.
Not without the boys.
Dear countrymen, once again we can celebrate our freedom!
Tens of thousands of people are gathered...
Norwegian flags have been raised on alI the buildings...
Norwegian seamen, Norway welcomes you home!
Thank you to the Norwegian people!
Do you recognise me?
No.
My name is Manus.
Are you Max Manus?
Allow me to congratulate you. You have much to be proud of.
You don't look that dangerous in real life.
Neither do you.
If only you knew how hard we triedm Max Manus.
But you always got away. Time after time.
Luck.
I don't believe in luck. You have it in you.
You can't get caught.
English cigarettes.
The only good thing to come out of that country.
So, do you feel any better?
Now that the Big Bad Wolf is behind bars?
I have wanted you dead for so many years.
And now?
I'm glad I got to meet youm Max Manus.
Where are you going? Grand Hotel have free beer!
That's nice.
- I'm going to Trondheim. Care to join me? - I think I'll stay here.
- Are you all right? - Sure.
- You have to celebrate! - I am.
I hung a flag in the living room.
This bottle has been buried since the invasion. You'd better enjoy it!
Does everyone have some? I would like to propose a toast.
- To freedom! - To the King!
To Max.
To Max!
Hello?
Is anyone here?
Max?
What are you doing?
How long have you been here?
Gunnar hasn't seen you in days. You could have called.
I'm celebrating.
But there's no one to celebrate with.
I'm no longer your responsibility, Tikken.
That isn't how it works.
Look at that.
I thought that was... God.
And then I asked Him why He took Gregers...
.. instead of me.
Is that too much to ask?
Nothing is as pathetic as a soldier that no one needs anymore.
A drunk. With frayed nerves.
Max, peace has come.
You don't have to hide anymore. You can be whatever you want.
They're dead, Tikken! All of them. And for what?
No, they aren't all dead.
I have no money, no educationm no job!
And I don't have you.
My life was set.
I married a diplomat.
Got a nice apartment in Stockholm.
Just what my parents wanted.
Yet here I am, with you.
- Sorry. - And you drink...
You feel sorry for yourself...
Still... I have never met a man like youm Max.
- Let's go for a walk! - No way.
If you can blow up the Donaum you can walk down the stairs with me.
Things tend to work out for the best, Manus.
