Breakfast is ready.
Hi.
Kjell, could you lend me some dough?
- Money? - I'm a bit broke.
- I haven't got a penny. - Damn.
- You'll have to ask Egon. - You can't ask him that.
Good morning!
There's no goat's milk cheese.
We've got Norwegian milk, butter, eggs, -
- Norwegian sardines in Norwegian oil. What more do you want?
- We always have goat's milk cheese. - Rubbish!
This morning the whole bedroom was full of white mice.
But after I had a Bloody Mary they all disappeared.
Hello, everybody. Hello!
I think we need a bit more ice. And some extra glasses.
And then... some more vodka.
Cheers, everybody. Cheers.
But Egon! You've got two heads.
- Aren't you hot? - Thank you. That's enough!
I quite agree. You could at least take off one of your hats, I think.
Listen, Egon... I need a few pesetas.
- Again? - Nothing is free, you know.
Are you trying to impress the ladies or what?
It's no fun being a millionaire with empty pockets. It's my money, too.
- Yes, and mine. - And mine. You're such a miser.
Enough! I can't stand this drunken nonsense in the morning.
What would you do if I didn't look after the money?
I would go home. Yes, I would. Go home and go to work.
- Stop it, Kjell. - I would go to work every day.
- In the rain. - Do you know what we'll do?
- We'll invest the money. - Brilliant, Benny!
We'll get interest and dividends, and then we'll have money to spend.
- Rubbish. - Talk to the people in that company.
No way! I want nothing to do with them and their multinational humbug.
They're going bankrupt. All their projects are closing.
They'll do anything to get their hands on money.
- They'll try to cheat us. - We could at least talk to them.
No way! The money stays here with me, all the time. Forever.
- You've got two heads, Egon. - Shut up!
I won't stand for this.
I have made you millionaires. What more do you want?
We've got our own villa with a view, -
- a swimming pool, three TV's... We're rich, we don't pay taxes.
We're happy. Can't you get that into your heads?
- Yes, of course, but... - If you look at it that way...
If only we look after the money -
- things could be like this for the rest of our lives.
Zürich? This is Copenhagen. I'm in Spain.
I'll fix it. I know exactly how. During their siesta.
Hey! Stop! Hold it!
What's happening? Hello there! Do you want a little drink?
Hands off that suitcase!
Stop thief! Kjell and Benny!
Egon, what are you doing down there? Have you drowned?
- Stop babbling and get a ladder! - Kjell and Benny, Egon's dead.
- Did he take our money? - The guy from that company?
Yes, it was him. Without a doubt.
- What are we going to do? - I have a plan.
He'll probably put the money in the office safe.
It's a Franz Jäger safe. I'll have it open in one minute.
- Brilliant, Egon. - All right, let's get going.
I'll take care of this. You keep watch.
What the hell is happening? The police!
- What are we going to do? - Run. Come on!
Get the person's name. Then you type it in. That's it...
I need some information on my travel companions.
We don't disclose the names and addresses of our customers.
No, no, I already know it.
Can you see if Kjell and Valborg Jensen and Benny Hansen are back?
They were the ones who took out travel insurance for 90 million.
- Yes? - It didn't work out.
- We lost touch down there. - They're back. One moment...
Yes, they came back about f... ourteen days ago.
God's speed!
Harry? What on earth are you doing here?
I live here.
I've lived here since my old shack was expropriated. Bang!
- Exploded, you mean? - Yes. You're out of prison early.
They let me out two months early.
You must have been a real brownnoser.
- Why isn't anybody answering? - Because nobody's home.
And if I were you, Egon, I'd leave straight away.
No one wants anything to do with you.
- What do you mean? - It's Valborg.
She's raving mad.
First she wants me to give up my scientific activities.
She wants me to dress up and join the Automobile Association, AA.
- Alcoholics Anonymous, you mean? - Yes, that's what I mean.
- Where are Benny and Kjell? - They're at work.
- At work? - At least that's what they call it.
Canned laughter. Just like on TV.
Hermetic laughter, the greatest invention since the steam engine.
It's really easy to use. Even Mother can work it out.
Every home should have one. It's simply indispensable.
If you're feeling down. If your mother-in-law is coming.
If the tax papers arrive, or you wake up with a gigantic hangover.
Just push the button, and the box will spread joy and laughter.
Brilliant, isn't it? And incredibly cheap. Only 3 kroner a piece.
Three for a tenner. It's almost free, don't you think?
Have you ever seen such a box of fun? Prime time entertainment.
Think about that. Prime time in a spray can, eh?
Excuse me. I'll open again in five minutes.
Jesus! You frightened me. Have they let you out already?
Yes. Two months early for good behaviour.
I see. You must have been a real Goody Two-Shoes, then?
- Business is going well, I see. - You have to keep busy.
- Of course. - Showbiz has its ups and downs.
- Oh, yes. - How are you, then?
- You have a plan, I suppose. - Yes, of course.
- All timed and prepared. - Of course.
- And it's urgent. Am I right? - Yes, yes.
Brilliant! Typical you. Sometimes I wonder if you're all there.
Enough! This is the icing on the cake.
And there you are with your ridiculous boxes, laughing at me.
- Who do you think you are? - Easy. I didn't mean it like that.
- OK. I've got a plan. It's urgent. - That's what I said...
- Shut up! - Take it easy. You can count on me.
- But Kjell is going to be a problem. - Why? Where is he?
- Hush. He's in no. 8. - No. 8?
He's also gone into showbiz, you see.
Nonsense! Get some beer. We're going over to Kjell's.
It's not that easy. Valborg isn't in, but she wants the money back.
- Of course. That's the plan. - She's gone to the police.
- 90 million? - Approximately.
We had 100 when we left, but we've spent quite a lot.
Honestly, I've told you this already. I've been here 17 times.
- 117. - No, 17. Listen, now.
Our money was stolen from us in Spain fairly and squarely.
If the police can't get it back I'll have to go -
- to the ombudsman or the press.
Hold on, madam. The police have made an enormous effort.
We've contacted the embassy, the Foreign Office, -
- the Treasury, Interpol, FBI, the CIA...
We've even put an ad in the morning paper.
When will you have our money?
- Well, it... - Time is running out, you see.
I appreciate that, but we can't perform magic.
I haven't asked you to. I've been very patient.
- I need the money by Wednesday. - Wednesday next week?
Yes. if the police can't get all of the 90 million at once -
- I could at least have a little advance. A couple of million.
- A couple of million? - Yes. Or three. Let's make it three.
You must have gone stark raving mad. Holm!
Here. Take it. Keep it. It's yours.
- Consider it your first solo case. - Thank you.
Make sure that I never, under any circumstances, -
- will have to see or hear this demented woman again.
No, Egon. It's no good. This time it's serious.
Everything has to be legit. We must take the matter to court.
It's no good talking about millions and plans and...
Valborg won't have it, and neither will I.
You could at least have a chat for old times' sake.
Yes, yes. It's just so unexpected.
- Haven't they let you out early? - Two months for good behaviour.
- You're a real brownnoser? - Shut up! I need to talk to Valborg.
She just got back. She looked as if she was going to explode.
- Bang! Bang! - I'm too scared, then.
- Egon, I'll have to go. - No way! She doesn't bite.
Watch out!
We've put up with a lot from you over the years.
And it's only led to misfortune and family tragedies.
Really? Didn't we become millionaires last year?
Yes. And what was the outcome? Exile and indigestion -
- and alcoholism. I won't pretend that I'm better than I am. Was.
- And now this is all my fault? - We're not millionaires any more.
- No. The money was stolen. - That was your fault.
I might as well have stayed in prison.
Perhaps. There are much larger issues at stake. Our entire future.
I want to buy a house on Bygdøy, near Kongsgården.
We can't consort with criminals and previously convicted persons.
I see. I take it you won't even listen to my plan, then?
Yes, yes. Let's hear it.
I know that our money is still in the country.
It's been swapped for gold bars to ensure against inflation.
The gold bars will be shipped out of the country next Wednesday.
- Wednesday next week? - We must act before it's too late.
Once we've got the gold bars, which are rightfully ours, -
- we must launder them.
- Are they dirty? - Not literally.
We need to swap them for honest, clean money.
- How? - My cellmate was a ship owner.
He's ready to buy the gold bars and pay us back in shares.
We'll have the majority holding in Dad & Mum Shipping Ltd.
I'll be chairman of the board. You can be assistant directors.
Once we're all bigwigs no one can touch us.
We can live here in Norway and move into your fancy villa.
There's only one thing to say: It's no good.
We won't be involved in those things anymore, Valborg has decided.
- I'll have to ask you to leave. - What are you saying?
- Don't blame me! - But didn't you say..?
Show a bit of lenience. Humans are fallible.
But we have certain conditions.
Oh? What are they?
- We need the money by Wednesday. - Of course. That's the plan.
And if anything goes wrong you go to prison as usual.
All right, then.
And when we move, I've decided that Harry is coming with us.
But he'll have to stop his explosions and smarten up.
I've said it again and again. He won't listen. Now it's your turn.
- Hi. - Hi.
- Has she told you as well? - Told me what?
That I have to stop my scientific experiments.
I'm beginning to agree with Valborg. You're overdoing it. It's dangerous.
She's not worried about the bang. She wants me to dress smarter.
Don't you see that if you're moving in with them -
- you'll have to do what Valborg says. It's important to her.
It's very important to all of us.
- Is it important to you, Egon? - Yes. Everything depends on you.
Very well, Egon...
For your sake, then, I'll stop all scientific activities.
- And no more excrements. - No, no, experiments.
- Them as well. - Thanks, Harry.
- Brilliant, Egon! - It's just like the old days.
- All right, let's get started. - Yes, let's.
We need some equipment. We need a truck. Not too big.
It's fine if it's second hand. We need a step ladder.
And a coat rack. We have to buy it all, so we need some money.
- I think 10,000 should be enough. - 10,000? But how?
I have a plan.
We need three balloons, a stop watch, and an empty beer bottle.
I'll empty this one.
Norwegian Lottery Ltd. Their offices are on the 6th floor.
- Now! - 12 seconds.
The company owns bingo machines all over Oslo.
The owner is in prison. Mario, his bodyguard, runs the business.
He's armed and dangerous.
Every day he empties the bingo machines all over town.
When he's done he's got about 10,000 kroner. We'll nick them.
- But he's dangerous, you said. - Don't worry.
Everything is timed and prepared.
After he finishes his rounds, he goes to the office, -
- counts up the money, and puts it in the safe.
38 seconds after his arrival, he leaves the lift on the 6th floor.
He walks down the corridor to his office. That takes 16 seconds.
We strike precisely 30 seconds later.
- Brilliant, Egon! - I haven't forgotten my old tricks.
- Just like old times. - Fool them all. You're a genius.
- How did it go? - Perfectly.
- That's good. - It looked dangerous at one point.
Nonsense. Brilliant, Egon. We've hit the jackpot!
- What's this? - 50-øre coins.
- What are they for? - That was Egon's plan.
Honestly, Egon. I've explained how much is at stake here.
Then you bring me 50-øre coins. You can't buy anything with that.
You were supposed to bring us gold bars.
It's in there. The Norwegian branch of the multinational corporation.
They have their own tracks, connected to the railway system.
The carriage arriving now is a special armoured one.
It's bomb- and fireproof. Built by Franz Jäger in Berlin.
- Good old Franz! - Exactly.
It's used for special transports. Our gold bars will be placed in it.
- Now what, Egon? - Well, that's it.
- What? - That's it?
I just wanted to show you that I know where the gold bars are.
Egon, come on. Don't take it like that. You know Valborg.
- She doesn't mean any harm. - Really?
Egon, I know what you mean. I know Valborg.
It will pass. As long as we're friends and stick together.
- You know you can trust us. - Thank you. That's nice of you.
You know that, Egon. We're behind you.
You're the genius, Egon. And we stick together.
Yes. One for one... and every man for himself.
All right. Let's start.
Listen, now. I have a plan. It's actually a timetable.
My plan is adapted to the state railways' internal timetable.
Nowhere else are things as well organised.
Everything is punctual. Everything is timed and prepared.
It is a great pleasure.
Look there, for example. That's GT 37-42. Right on time.
It goes into track 12.
It passes switch no. 2-42 and continues on track 24.
Notice how the signals change, and everything fits together.
Outside town, at Grorud, the company's track forks off.
This is where our gold is loaded into the armoured carriage.
This is Oslo. Everything's fine. Arrival in Zürich at 8.22 am.
The carriage is FJ 42-19. It will be picked up tomorrow at 7.15 am.
We'll pick it up an hour earlier. ls the truck ready?
Yes, on the quay. Tanked up and ready.
Good. We'll pick up the carriage at 6.15 am, -
- drive to Grorud and wait for train PT 37-14 for Hamar at 6.48 am.
The switch allows us to continue via track 12 into section 14.
Then we'll wait for the freight train from Grefsen, GT 47-11, at 7.22 am.
After that we can continue straight down to the harbour.
- From there on it's all manual. - How do you know all this?
I've studied it for six months. I know the timetable by heart.
Brilliant. What happens then?
We reload before anyone misses the carriage, drive to Lysaker -
- to the ship owner's lamp factory, and swap the gold bars for shares.
Fantastic, Egon. You're a genius.
- But how..? - How what?
How do we pick up the carriage at 6.15 am?
- Is the coat rack ready? - Yes.
- Is it a nice one? - Yes, I painted it myself.
Hello. I'm from Maintenance. I've brought the coat rack.
- Hi there. - Hi.
- All done? - Yes. Fits like a glove.
Stop that! Kjell, do you have the key?
- Yes, yes. And a whistle. - All right. Let's go.
Phenomenal! This is great.
- Let's go. - First I have to...
The foreman said he would come himself. He'll be here in an hour.
- We can't wait that long. - It must be a misunderstanding.
- Not at the state railways. - No, of course not.
We haven't come all this way for nothing.
- No, of course not. - Very well.
This is fun, Egon. And we'll be millionaires as well.
Assistant directors have to go to work every morning, right?
Yes, the director directs and allocates.
- And goes to work. - Yes. And signs papers.
And pinch the secretaries on their...
Stop it! Pull yourself together. We'll be there soon.
We'll stop at the truck and drive the engine away.
The police only patrol the area every two hours.
We'll reload and clear out. Piece of cake.
- Do you call that a truck? - Yes. It's a fine truck.
- It has wheels... It's registered. - I don't believe it.
- The ladder. - Here it is.
Oh, yes...
- Just take your time. - Egon takes care of it.
Old Franz from Berlin. Piece of cake.
- Brilliant, Egon. - Fantastic. How do you do it?
You're the best, Egon.
- Come on, gentlemen. - Leave it to Kjell and me.
Piece of cake. You just relax. We'll do the work.
- You just direct and allocate. - And be a genius. Come on, Kjell.
I'll be damn... Lift, Kjell! Get down to it!
- Easy for you to say. - Honestly, Egon.
- What is it now? - It weighs a ton.
- Of course. It's gold. - You said it was a piece of cake.
- Come on now! - I can't do it.
Stop complaining. Lift!
Stop fooling around. We must finish before the police do their rounds.
Come on now.
I can't do anymore. Can't we stop now?
- Honestly, Egon. - No way. Come on!
- Can't we have a little rest? - We have a couple of beers.
Shut up, you babbling idiots!
You want to be millionaires and directors, but without the work.
- What about Valborg? The future? - Valborg? All right, then.
- Come on. It's the last one. - Yes, yes. I'm coming.
- Hurry up! - There's enough time for a beer.
- Damn! There they are. Let's go. - Everything's under control.
- What about me, then? - Jump!
Jump, for God's sake. Think about Valborg and the future.
No, no, no! Of all the dim-witted oafs I've ever seen...
You told me to jump.
Quick. Let's get out of here!
Yes, what now? I see... A carriage?
If the men have found a carriage, it must be returned at once.
Honestly, I have enough to do already.
Let's drink to the force which is noble and strong
And to every dear, old colleague da-ram-dam-da-ra...
ANNUAL SUMMER EXCURSION JOIN US, DEAR COLLEAGUE!
Let's drink to the force which is noble and strong
And to every dear, old colleague
Let's drink to the chief for the things he has done
He's a man who knows no folly
Let your song ring out lift your cup up proud
And enjoy our trip into nature's grip
All the ladies smile and wink at the boss
Who is seated here amongst us
Well, what do you think? Not bad, eh?
No, that was very good.
It was hard finding a word to rhyme with "colleague".
I had to rewrite everything, because the chief signed up so late.
The chief. Oh, my God! Hats and noses. We need hats and noses.
Holm, we must get some hats and noses.
- I have some questions for the case. - Which case?
- The 90 million. Mrs. Jensen. - Don't mention that case.
I would like to do some supplementary investigations.
This is my big chance. If I solve this case I'm...
Chance? Good Lord...
My dear, young colleague. I've been on the force for 25 years.
25 years, Holm. And do you know why, after all these years, -
- I've never risen above ordinary detective?
I'll tell you why. Because I realised far too late -
- that it's not about solving cases, but about being promoted.
- If I could get permission... - Holm, listen now.
After many years of effort I've succeeded -
- in becoming chairman of the "Out and about"-committee. That counts.
A successful outing is always noted.
We can spare no pains. I've done my part.
I contacted the state railways, got us a carriage for the trip, -
- devised a route, wrote a song, invited the ladies from vice squad.
No one can be spared. Everyone must do their bit. Including you.
- But I'm on duty. - The division must stick together.
There's plenty to do. The song has to be photocopied.
We need to shop for hats, noses, and paper napkins.
Yes, yes. If only I could investigate a few details.
Listen, Holm. You need to stop doing your job.
If you have to solve crimes you must do it in your spare time.
- Careful. - Just stay there, Kjell.
- I'll get you a poultice. - No, no, no! That's enough.
A few boxes need lifting, and then it's weeping and gnashing of teeth.
- Honestly, Egon... - Shut up! It's mainly your fault.
That was a fine truck. You don't get much for a bag of 50-øre coins.
If only Kjell hadn't been so fat.
I won't stand for this. I've toiled like a pack horse.
Ruined my back. I won't be stepped on and persecuted.
Well... I agree that I'm strongly built.
- I don't look like a movie star. - Kjell, don't take it so heavily.
- Heavily? - No, no! Enough rubbish.
- Egon, honestly. - Quiet, you insane woman.
I'm fed up with you. Do you know what it's like in prison?
Planning for months, learning the railway timetable by heart.
And then I meet you. Two third-rate amateurs.
Two wet ragged numskulls. Poultice!
I'm sorry, if I could get in a little word. It's the same every time.
- Every single time. - I'm leaving.
You'll never see me again.
And then he just leaves. Typical.
- The police are here. - We must go.
- What are we going to do? - Let's take the back door.
Supplementary information?
Yes, I'm sorry about the time, but...
I've been in 17 times. After the treatment I had last time...
I'm really sorry, but the detective is very busy.
But I have taken over, and now things are back on track. I promise.
- At least in this case. - And not too early, I'd say.
My husband was going to do it himself.
But the money was swapped for gold and placed in a freight carriage.
A freight carriage?
Yes, from Franz Jäger. That was too much for Kjell.
It's a shame. He was to become assistant director, which was nice.
And I've got an option on the house until Wednesday.
- I don't know what to do. - I understand.
Could you describe the person who stole the money?
I didn't see him so well. It was kind of hazy.
Was he tall and slender like...
No, he was kind of plump and ordinary looking.
I see. Plump and ordinary looking.
Telephone from Copenhagen.
Hello. It's me.
What? Not on the train? That can't be. It was shipped by rail.
No, not with a private company. With the state railway.
Yes, of course it's true. I'll look into it. Straight away.
Yes, of course. Personally and discreetly.
I can't do anymore. What are we going to do?
- We must find Egon. - I don't know. I'm so tired.
- What would Egon do now? - Go and lie down.
Do you know what he would do? Find the armoured carriage.
FJ 42-19.
Fine. The first train via Kornsjø at 7.46 a.m.
- Brilliant! There's the carriage. - Can't we sit down, Benny?
- Look, Kjell! It's Egon. See? - Yes. He's sat down.
- Damn it! It's him again. - He's killed Egon.
- We might as well give up. - We have to do something. Come on!
Where is it going?
To Australia.
It's too late. We're closing.
There's no rush.
- Come on! We have to get Egon. - Don't you think he's dead?
You know Egon. Come on now.
Kjell, we need something to open it with. Find something.
Brilliant!
Egon? Egon!
Egon!
The laughter can. It must be Egon.
There he is. Take it easy, Egon. We're on our way!
Oh, no, no...
Stop, Egon. Watch out.
Damn it, Egon.
Hold on. Easy now, Egon. We need to find a crowbar.
Be quiet. Someone is coming. Hold on.
Always the same. Today's youth! Messy and sloppy.
They just run off and leave everything floating around.
I'm going to report this.
They need a good beating. It's the only thing that works.
It's not a laughing matter. Come on, Buster.
Easy now, Egon. Come and help me, Kjell.
No. I am not going to carry any more boxes. I've carried enough.
- But it's Egon. - I don't care.
I can't do it anymore. Don't push me too hard.
Easy now, Kjell. I'll fix this. Open the door.
Take it easy, Egon. It's not far now. I'm really sorry.
The crowbar, Kjell.
Brilliant, Egon.
You could have kept the dog away.
- I'm sorry. - All right. Let's forget about it.
I have a plan. I've been lying here thinking it all through.
We need four nails, two bits of copper wire, a paper, and Harry.
- Harry? - Harry?
He will play a crucial part. Listen.
The armoured carriage will be coupled on the PT 34-78 to Zürich.
The train leaves tomorrow morning at 7.46.
We stop it at section 16, uncouple the armoured carriage, and it's ours.
- Do we need to carry more boxes? - No, we don't.
We'll drive the carriage all the way from Bekkelaget to Lysaker.
Everything fits together. I've planned the whole route.
- No more carrying boxes? - No, that's what I said.
- Then it's okay. I'm in. - Good. Let's get going.
You tell Harry. He needs to be at section 16 at 7 am.
We meet at Sjursøya. We start at sunrise when the track is free.
I don't understand this. He's usually on time.
- Hi. - What on earth? What's this?
- Are you going to the royal castle? - Egon told me to...
Me? We agreed. And Valborg demanded that...
You need a cap. Give it to me.
Thanks, that's enough. The paper. Fold it up and put it in your cap.
Look. Keep your eyes peeled and your ears open. Stop it, Benny.
Don't worry, Harry. I'm sure Valborg will be pleased.
The nails.
Use these when the train arrives in track 6.
Short-circuit the two points. The light will go red on the main line.
- The train stops, and we strike. OK? - Everything's under control.
- What if somebody comes? - Say you're from the Main Office.
Nice to see you. I'm glad you took the time.
I don't understand it. It should have been here a long time ago.
- Maybe it's just late. - Nonsense.
Good morning. New blood in the service, I see. Where are you from?
- I'm from Ka... K... Kampen. - Which station did you say?
- I'm from Ka... The Main... - Main Office?
Look. Someone has forgotten to lock the door. Sloppy.
- It's a national scandal. - Surely it's not that bad.
- Shall we check it? - There's no danger.
Oh, yes, there is. I remember back at Hamar.
Someone had forgotten to lock the fuse box.
Suddenly all the fuses were gone, and all the trains stopped. For ages.
You'd better check it, then. You would know.
I can fix it on my own. You go off to your trains.
Don't let me delay you.
No, there are two of us in the tower today, so... Better be careful.
This won't do. What should I have done without hats and noses?
- The chief asked for them. - Have a good trip!
Yes, let's hope so.
- I'm glad nothing was missing. - It's best to check.
Sorry. It's the only way I can keep the paper.
Thanks for your help. I better get back to my post. Farewell!
- Better lock the door. - Ouch!
Have you seen the new test plugs? No? Allow me to demonstrate.
You hold one plug in each hand, and then you test it.
Test it, then. You would know.
The shipment has departed. I've seen it myself.
I've taken care of Olsen. Everything is all right. I guarantee it.
This won't do. It's a scandal.
If one can't trust the rail times any longer, what can one trust?
- What are we going to do? - Egon, a train is coming.
Fine, that's the one. Benny, start it up.
Come on, Harry. Work the switches.
Get your arse in gear, Harry. What's he doing there?
So there is no short circuit between the right and left sides.
- Or between bottom and top. - Very simple.
We just need to test the main line.
- It's important to start with these. - Then the signal will short circuit.
Far from it. They're protected against that.
- Come on. - Well, you would know.
- I knew we could trust you. - Benny, let's go.
- You told me they were protected. - Well, they're test plugs.
We tested them, and they didn't work. Back to the drawing board.
- Something has to be done. Nybø! - Hey! You forgot to lock up again.
Let's drink to the force which is noble and strong
And to every dear, old colleague
Let's drink to the chief...
That isn't our carriage at the back.
I don't understand this. What has happened?
I knew it! It's leaving for Blokksbjerg again.
- Shut up! - What are we going to do?
- I've got it! - What have you got?
Listen, then. They're all plastered.
We'll take them with us. They won't notice.
- Good thinking, Benny. - But will it work?
Oh, yes. Are you ready, Kjell?
Let's drink to the chief for the things he has done
He's a man who knows no folly
Let your song ring out lift your cup up proud
And enjoy our trip into nature's grip
All the ladies smile and wink at the boss
Who is seated here amongst us
Hello, signal centre. This is engine driver 50-12.
What are they doing? Changing the signal right under my nose.
Better and better day for day
Keep a smile in the air even when you should despair...
- It's very lively with the choir. - Oh, stop it. They're crap.
And then on a Sunday.
The more we are together, together, together...
Oh, yes, that's correct. We're on the right track.
- It's the police. - The police? Where?
In that carriage. Without a doubt. It was Hermansen. I saw him.
- What are we going to do? - Uncouple them quickly.
- We'll stop at that switch. - We'll put them on the wrong track.
Bravo, bravo, bravissimo
Bravo, bravissimo, bravo, bravissimo
Bravo, bravo, bravissimo
And now let's have a toast to the chief, hurrah
And shame on he who will not drink to the chief
hurrah, hurrah, what a jolly toast, hurrah!
Bravo, bravo, bravo, bravissimo
Bravo, bravo, bravissimo
Bravo, bravissimo bravo, bravissimo
Bravo, bravo, bravissimo
Long may he live long may he live
Long may he live until he dies
hurrah, hurrah, what a jolly toast, hurrah
Long may he live long may he live
Long may he live until he dies
Let's hope that he will be okay yes, be okay, yes, be okay
Let's hope that he will be okay for many, many years
For many, many years!
- This is brilliant. - Yes, we did well.
- You, too, Kjell. - You just have to work the switch.
- Are we safe now? - Now we follow Egon's plan.
Now we follow the timetable. We'll stop at the switch over there.
This is section 43. Here we'll let passenger train no. PT 19-37 pass.
It will come from that direction in precisely 45 seconds.
We should be able to see it now.
- What the hell was that, then? - It came the other way.
- I don't get it. - Don't you know the timetable?
- It must have been a special train. - Oh, yes, of course. Special train.
- Don't you understand? - Yes, but...
We must get to the fuse box and change the signals on PT 16-48.
- Come on! - No more special trains, I hope.
Kjell! Kjell! Wake up now.
Damn it, Egon. Egon!
It's... It's impossible.
You almost killed us.
It's impossible. I know it by heart. It doesn't follow the timetable.
They must have changed it. They don't use the same timetable forever.
- I'm a bloody fool. A dimwit. - Now that you say so, yes.
The summer time table takes effect today. Everything changes.
- What are we going to do? - There's only one thing to do. Wait.
There. I think we can work in peace now. Come on.
- What have you done now? - They won't work that out quickly.
- Hey! Do you know locomotives? - Oh, yes.
I am a locomotival engine driver, me.
Take the engine there and get rid of those two carriages. Quickly.
Roger and out.
We'll have an automatic green light here, so you can slow down.
My God! This is phenomenal, Egon.
- Wake up. You'll be a director soon. - Assistant director.
- We'll be at Vippetangen soon. - Just follow the track.
Here we are, driving through town. It's all over and everything's fine.
- Thanks from Valborg and me. - You're welcome.
- You've outdone yourself. - How do you do it?
- He's a genius. - No...
Yes, you're a genius. Without you we would have been nothing.
Now we'll... Just think, we'll be assistant directors. Not bad.
- Bad? It's brilliant. - Egon will direct and allocate.
- Yes, he will be foreman. - Foreman in charge.
- You decide. - He will have responsibility.
- Full responsibility. - Fine. No one can touch us, then.
Come on, Benny.
What the hell is that?
- There he is again. - That idiot.
- What are we going to do? - Jesus, Egon. What do we do?
Keep going!
Come on, Kjell. Get it into the side track.
Come on, Kjell. Hurry up.
Hurry up now. Jump!
No, no, no!
Damn it, Egon. Come here. Come on, Egon.
Run! Run!
Detective Hermansen's office, Holm speaking.
What? A freight carriage, you say? A Franz Jäger one.
- And the description of the suspect? - Kind of plump and ordinary looking.
That's him! Undoubtedly. Watch him closely. This is a big case.
I'll be right there.
The case is solved.
Hi there, old buddy.
Oh, my God, it's the chief. I'm very sorry.
Is that you, Hermansen? This is splendid. An excellent outing.
Very well organised. By the way... You're only a detective.
We must change that. You're a brilliant man for the force.
Thank you, chief.
- Don't take it so hard. - It doesn't matter.
- It's all my fault. Mine entirely. - Egon, it's okay.
You placed your future in my hands, and I've failed you. I...
We've had lots of fun. We got to drive trains and everything.
Wait and see. We'll be millionaires some other time, Egon.
It's just that... What about Valborg?
Don't worry about that. I'll talk to Valborg.
That is the least I can do. Come on, let's go.
Egon! Glad you came. Come on up, I need to ask you something.
Just one question. I've sorted it all out. The police have just been here.
They've solved the case. They want to know where to put the carriage.
If we call the railway service, they'll take care of it.
We'll get the shares, Kjell and Benny will be directors, and Egon chairman.
From now on we just need to be honest and decent citizens, -
- so no one can put a finger on us.
A gentleman is waiting to see the chairman of the board.
- He can have 3 1/2 minutes. - He only needed three, he said.
Enter.
Are you Mr Egon Olsen, chairman of the board?
So you're the one who has full responsibility?
You've bought the majority of the shares for 90 million kroner, I hear.
According to the tax authorities the amount is not listed as income.
- How is that? - You haven't paid tax on it.
Tax?
In a welfare society everyone has to pay for the common good.
- Good? - Yes.
The government needs money to pay for the things we all need.
Education, the church, the prison service, etc.
Prison service? How much can I contribute with?
After additional payments and surcharge tax of twice the amount, -
- it will amount to exactly 270 million kroner and 35 øre.
How are you going to settle it?
