I can't feel my legs.
You should not think about. It will be OK.
We'll be there soon.
BASED ON REAL PERSONS AND EVENTS CREW
Put what you have stolen and disappear. Get lost!
- Who are they? - Who are they?
Sorry, I'm ... Roald's brother.
Jaså?
I'm Leon.
- Sorry. - I apologize.
- I didn't think anyone was here. - I was not aware...
Bess Magids. I came yesterday.
- Didn't he say that? - No.
I...
I'm sorry for the disturbance and will let you sleep again.
No, that's fine. I...
I can not sleep. My inner clock is still going on in Canada time.
- How do you know my brother? - We have known each other for a couple of years.
Surely there should be nothing new?
No.
I know I saw a bottle of wine here somewhere.
Personally, I prefer whiskey, but it is better than nothing.
He was to fly over the pole and be back in time to meet me.
Instead, it was Wisting, who welcomed me.
- A good man, Wisting. - He seemed more concerned than the two of us.
- It's strange to look at you. - Why?
Sorry. I didn't think you two was very similar, but now ...
So he hasn't talked about me?
Well ... Of course, he has mentioned, that he has many brothers.
- But he hasn't talked about me? - No but...
- We are not talking about family and the like. - But he talked about the expeditions, didn't he?
- The Northwest Passage and the South Pole? - Of course.
- But nothing about me. - No, but you weren't on them.
No no.
Roald and I are not really on speaking foot.
- It's been a few years since. - What happened?
- Sorry. You don't have to answer. - It's alright.
We were four brothers, but mostly only the two of us.
- Did Roald tell us about our father? - He was a shipowner.
And he was ... an adventurer?
Maybe not an adventurer, but he always came with amazing gifts.
I remember when he came with the globe ...
- What's in the middle? - The air enters the flame.
No. What is it, what is it like in reality?
Nobody knows. No one has been this far north.
Some people think there is a country -
- which has not yet been discovered.
Roald stared at the holes at the poles.
Everything else was already mapped back then, but the gaps -
- those areas were everything, that was left to discover.
Roald was occupied by the Poles.
Look ... Four degrees.
He started experimenting with polar conditions.
Good night.
You too.
- A little more. - You can read more tomorrow.
Good night, Roald.
Our father died at sea many thousands of miles from home.
And a few years later, our mother fell ill.
Leon, you have to look after your brother. You're big brother, watch out for Roald.
Then Fridtjof Nansen returned in triumph -
- after the first one to cross Greenland on skis -
- nothing could stop us.
From that day Roald and I knew, exactly what we should be.
A trip to Hardangervidda was our first sample. We were caught in a blizzard.
I went in the ring all night to survive.
In the morning Roald was gone.
Roald!
Instead of ringing he sought shelter in a snow cave.
But the temperature dropped at night, so he woke up in a coffin of ice.
Roald!
His reaction made me realize, that he had something I didn't have.
I didn't know what. I just knew I hadn't.
You saved his life.
I vjust enter on, that he must storm through the door.
Don't want to continue? It's nice to hear you speak.
- The Northwest Passage? - Yes.
Roald was the mate on the first ship, wintering in Antarctica -
- and after that he got the crazy idea to use a small fishing boat -
- where the big expeditions was unsuccessful.
- You weren't there? - No no.
I stayed home and arranged the financing.
- Roald went to war with the ice. - And you with the creditors.
The first, which is sailed through the last piece of the Northwest Passage ...
The promising, young Norwegian explorer:Roald Amundsen.
THE ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL COMPANY LONDON
Thanks. It is...
It is a great honor to be here. Thanks.
I would also like to thank you, Doctor Nansen.
I didn't stand here, if it wasn't for ...
Their advice and support. Thanks.
In our search for the Northwest Passage -
- we spent two winters in a small, completely isolated port, Uqsuqtuuq.
We named the place Gjøahavn.
It's a little easier to pronounce. Here we had the opportunity -
- to meet and study the Netsilik Inuit.
They gave us invaluable knowledge of how one survives under Arctic conditions.
They move effectively over the ice -
with very light sleds and sled dogs.
This method proved crucial to us -
- as we explored the area.
Netsilik Inuit Life
- is unique and highly specialized.
And they are now among the last indigenous people -
- who have not been in contact yet with missionaries from the south.
But not for long, right?
It is...
I hear people say many things about the Inuit.
That they are lazy.
But they are not lazy. They are smart.
Theknow that hurry, then you sweat -
- and in minus degrees it can mean death.
Roald had learned survival techniques of the Inuit.
It was crucial to stay the first at the North Pole.
But the British did not take these “primitives survival techniques "seriously -
- although they were also planning an expedition.
A very well-executed lecture, Amundsen.
The English are skeptical of Greenland dogs. They prefer setters.
Mr. Scott ...
- My friend, how are you? - Good to see you.
- Have they met? - No.
- Roald Amundsen. Robert Falcon Scott. - A pleasure.
And congratulations.
- I am deeply impressed. - The pleasure is mine.
The Stories of British explorers changed my life.
John Franklin ... It never was we succeeded without the British pioneers.
But someone had to take the last step -
- and with such a small fishing boat ... Who would have believed it?
- She was tired towards the end, but ... - And you, Ambassador Nansen?
I suppose you're ready to take out again?
Are you going to the pole?
Which one of them? North or South?
Unfortunately, I am bound by diplomacy.
Of course. After all, there are more important things than examining ice cream.
Gentlemen.
A pleasure.
- Is he going north or south? - Remember:
The most important thing in polar research is not who comes first -
- but the exploration of the polar pool extent, depth and ... character.
Everyone is planning expeditions.
We are busy.
Do we have to manage 3000 km in 100 days, we must reduce weight and increase speed.
The English have motor vehicles. Scott has tried them in Finnish. He must believe it.
And I believe in polar bears as migratory animals.
But that does not mean, that I'm betting on them here. There is only one thing, which is sufficiently tested:
And these are Greenland dogs. Many Greenland dogs.
Suddenly became Nansen's wife seriously ill -
- and we saw that as an opportunity to lend his ship "Fram".
- We don't want visits. - I understand. I regret.
My name is Roald Amundsen.
Your father knows who I am -
- so if he is told that it is me, it might change the case.
You get "Fram". There are two conditions. One:
Hjalmar Johansen comes unstoppable and asking for money -
- but it's me, who is in debt to him.
He deserves another chance.
I didn't think Johansen could ... He drinks, doesn't he?
Hjalmar is going.
And two?
"Fram" should not be used to a headless race around the North Pole.
You travel in the service of research.
Research. Is that understood?
"Black six-man tents, 20 pairs of hickory ski, 40 bamboo sticks -
- 5 boilers, 2 sextants, 1 alcohol compass, 2 binoculars, 2 cameras. "
- "And 3 hypsometers." - Votes.
The challenge when it comes to speed is -
- at temperatures below minus 25 the snow can change texture -
- and stay true.
We solve this with a thin layer of ice under the medes, just as the Inuit do.
But the weight is crucial. We need to drop below a ton per sled.
- Then we have the dogs. - What do you mean?
During the trip the weight is reduced. Then we need fewer draft dogs.
Greenland dogs are cannibals, so they are becoming a good supply for both us and them.
Such is nature. It is not worse with a dog than a pig.
- Do you think there is a difference? - Most people seem to think so.
I don't think it's comfortable either eating loyal travel companions.
But here it is whether we will come first or not. Then it is very simple.
Wisting!
Then we started assembling the crew.
- Was it 200 meters? - 210.
210? Yes, just wait and see.
You will be the first one discovering new land up there in the ice.
You should have that honor, Captain.
If we don't find it, then there's the North Pole, Alaska ...
It is infinite.
Now there are so many competing expeditions, all information ...
What is it?
Sir. captain...
I came as fast as I could.
Is there something wrong?
Roald?
What does it say?
"The North Pole reached."
Frederick Cook ... "Cook left his navigation diaries in Greenland. "
- He has no evidence. - The expedition is dead.
- What if he wasn't there at all? - When he has no evidence?
Roald is right.
As long as they claim it, the news value is gone.
Then no one will finance the expedition.
It's over.
We continue. We go to the South Pole.
We just do it!
Yes ... But how?
We keep it a secret. We bet everything on it. No one has to know.
So not a word.
That means we have to lie to everyone. Nansen, of course, but ...
Also for the king.
But it...
We should not think about that.
Now we have to think about what happens -
-if this goes well.
Think if it goes. Think if it goes.
Davs, Hjalmar.
Yes...
You probably didn't think so to take that cabin north?
You know it will be crushed in the ice masses, sunk into the sea.
So you are not sure about finding land?
- Did you calm down completely from Kristiania? - Yes, yes.
- Something has to be spent on the forces of tenl. - Yes.
Yes I...
I'm a completely different man up there in the ice.
Just ask Nansen.
When he got his back hurt, I had to carry him.
Did you know?
That's how it is. We are all better men up there.
Yes.
So bring along.
- You might be old enough. - Two years older than you.
I have to stay. It is still not fully funded.
I talked to a radio producer ...
I can't bring radio.
Then Nansen will contact you and ask me to turn around.
When do we tell it?
Yes...
When it's too late.
There are many who have wondered over much of this expedition.
Why we should have a cabin up on the Arctic drift ice.
Why we have taken 90 Greenland dogs with from Kristiansand -
- instead of picking them up in Alaska on the trip north.
And the truth is ...
We have no plans to sail north again -
- when we round Cape Horn.
We continue south.
The British have plans to incorporate Antarctica into the empire.
Robert Scott is on the road with 65 men -
- motorized vehicles and horses.
It may seem like the only thing, he forgot to think ...
Are us.
We are the first ...
At the South Pole.
So now I really just need knowing that I have full ... support.
And to those who want to join -
raises his hand.
Well. Then we say it.
Good luck.
“At this moment, be informed King Haakon on the change in plans. "
"I beg you not to judge me too hard."
"I assure that one day resumes the original plan -
- with scientific studies of the ocean currents at the North Pole. "
It is no longer an expedition, but a race.
"This is Antarctica."
“The coldest place in the world. A desert of ice cream. "
“First, we travel the cabin Framheim in the Bay of Whales. "
"Here we must overwinter after we has placed depots against the pole. "
“When the sun returns after dark -
- we start our 1300 kilometers long journey towards the South Pole. "
“There are no cards, almost none information about what awaits us. "
"Only the knowledge that here ...
... no people have ever been. "
Minus 56!
We must turn around!
- We're not together! - We're going back. Each man individually.
Say it to the others!
All is well?
Yes! We will be there!
Yes, you ... took your time.
It was too early to go out.
- You left us. You left your people behind. - I gave a clear message.
Everyone was responsible to find homes.
You don't leave your crew -
- to die in a blizzard!
Nansen had never done that.
This was no expedition.
It was panic.
You went out too early to get a head start for Scott.
Well ...
Scott ...
Scott has been preparing for four years.
Yes.
He takes Shackleton's old route over the mountains as we walk here ...
... in a terrain where no one ever has set foot.
We might as well be on a foreign planet, and then you think -
- that it should be without risk?
Have I expressed myself unclear?
Is there anybody here -
- who did not understand, what is it that we are on?
No. - No.300
If so -
- could it be useful, Johansen -
- if you initiate us, since you're so busy with him -
- what was Nansen's motto, when he crossed Greenland?
What was it, Johansen?
"Death...
... or the west coast of Greenland. "
Yes.
So what do you think ours is?
Johansen.
I have...
You don't have to go on.
You must map the area at King Edward's Land -
- under the command of the priest.
Why are you telling me this?
So you know more about that man, They invite you.
Have you ever been out Arctic conditions?
No.
- Dog sled in a blizzard? - Why?
I have.
Are you ready?
Wisting.
Come on!
Mount Bjaaland.
Mount Hassel.
Mount Hanssen. Mount Wisting.
Mount Presterud.
And Mount Johansen.
Yes, we just have to ... get started.
Should I start?
It looks excellent then.
No thanks, I'm not that hungry.
Have you seen a man with scurvy, Bjaaland?
First you start behaving strangely. Powerless and tired.
Then ... the gums start to bleed.
The teeth loosen. Then begins old wounds and fractures to go up again.
And you, Wisting, what are you thinking about?
Just that ... here we are.
In the world's largest wasteland. As big as ...
... all over North America.
And the flame -
- is the only source of heat across the continent.
Except for Scotts.
- How far is it again? - I think we're meget close.
It is true to mine.
- What are you wearing? - Wait a minute...
I'm just looking for it again.
As far as I can see, that's right.
Yes...
Yes, but then ... we say it.
Come on, we'll do it.
Look at the flag.
Which direction is north now?
- That way, right? - No, that way.
I keep going that way.
Strange how it all ties together.
And then there is probably no one, who have ever been in a place -
- more diametrically opposite the real goal. It's also fun.
No, leave him alone.
Wondering where the English are?
"Dear Captain Scott. As you probably are the first to reach us -
- I ask you to forward this letter to King Haakon VII. "
"Can you use the things we have left behind in the tent, so go for it. "
"Maybe you can also use the sled outside."
"With best regards and the desire for a safe return home. "
Telegram to Amundsen.
- What does it say? - "Agrbf amgif akr ..."
It's a code!
What does it say?
"We did it!"
Do you know what, Nicolay?
I never cared about that service.
- We can't have a worn service. - Now we can buy a new one.
Amundsen on the South Pole!
THE ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL COMPANY LONDON
Gentlemen...
Usually we don't allow ladies in the club -
- but then little Mary has written such a beautiful poem -
- I thought we were making an exception.
Although just a simple cross now they mark the tombs of the heroes
their names will live forever O, England, the land of the brave.
Captain Scott and his brave people the South Pole reached itJanuary 17 -
- just to discover, that mr. Amundsen had come first.
You can imagine -
- how deceived our valiant countrymen are must have felt during the return trip.
And thanks to Scott's diaries we know exactly what happened.
We know that mr. Amundsen wrote a letter to the King of Norway -
- as he wanted Captain Scott to deliver on its behalf.
He obviously confuses our officers by postman.
Our guest was lucky all the way.
Nice weather. Good health.
A means of transport that never collapsed.
We congratulate him on that.
Captain Scott, a true British hero ...
Who pulled his own sled ...
Have probably lost an odd match against illness and hunger ...
But he refused to resort to barbarism.
He behaved like a gentleman -
- to the bitter end.
So I want to bring out a toast.
For the true heroes of this expedition:
The dogs.
So the moon is the next target, mr. Amundsen?
- Charles Bennett. - Good to see you, my friend.
Greet my wife, one of their countrymen -
- Kristine Elisabeth.
- Mrs. Bennett. Me an honor. - Just say Kiss.
And the honor is completely on my side, mr. Amundsen.
Excuse me.
I just have to say that the British treating you is shameful.
And that after such a triumph.
It was horrible to hear about mr. Scott and his people.
A terrible accident. And so close to the rescue.
Well ... when you prepare everything -
- and have everything in control, then good luck.
But when one does not take the most needed precautions and suffer defeat -
- then it's bad luck.
- What do you mean? - Yes, Scott ...
He was a great scientist. An excellent sportsman.
But Nansen had told him, that he should use skis and dogs -
- yet he insisted on motors and ponies.
The British want to conquer things.
Yes, they will. But nature cannot be conquered.
It ... you just can't.
You have to add it.
He probably has a weakness for married women.
- Are they? - Married?
Yes.
I know about Kiss.
There have been others, and what then? We are both adults.
Do you think Roald will forgive us if we tasting one of the bottles from the South Pole?
Do you know who owns the house here?
The only one who doesn't need it.
Kiss ...
Can you hear me?
Honored Roald Amundsen.
We Norwegians are proud -
- that you have planted the Norwegian flag on the South Pole -
- before the English.
It's impossible to imagine, what this deed has cost -
- of sacrifice, steadfastness and heroism.
In the triumph it is allowed to forget -
- that the South Pole was not the goal, just a step on the road.
But Amundsen is a wordy man.
Next year it goes through The bering tree into ice -
- and cold and dark -
- to explore the polar currents and drift over the North Pole.
For at least five years.
It may seem almost superhuman -
- but Amundsen is also a man for it.
Hooray!
Nansen believes that if the ship freezes in the ice -
- then I can drive all the way to the pole.
And what happens at the poles, is crucial to the whole climate of the earth.
- So it has to be explored. - That's not what you want.
But that was the prerequisite to borrow “Fram ".
- I didn't think he would insist. - No ... Five years in the ice.
We need not worry about that.
It means nothing to us.
When we think about each other, it is as if we are together.
I can feel you.
Not true?
We have our wireless conversation. Nobody can take it from us.
You...
You are mine. You are mine, mine, mine.
You will always be able to feel, that I'm with you.
Always.
Roald was forced to to prove Nansen's theory -
- that you could drive the polar ice all the way to the North Pole.
So he ordered a new ship -
- custom built for itself:"Maud".
And that ship cost a lot more, than we had.
Only a sensational triumph could save us from total bankruptcy.
And it turned out that it takes a long time to drive towards the pole ...
Very long time.
Five months to sunrise.
We have to chop ice, so the ship is not crushed.
- Is it fine now, sir? - No, we need more. Because that's where ...
Sir. captain!
Sir. captain! Wisting, come here!
UNKNOWN AREA
Bear!
- Want some? - No, just get done.
I would like to have.
It's probably going to go well.
SECOND YEAR IN ISON AJON ISLAND, IT EAST SIBIRIAN SEA 2250 KM FROM THE NORTH POLAND
Captain.
- Nice mustache. - Yes, I ... I'm in the running.
Tessem wants to leave the expedition.
The headache persists -
- and he still hardly sleeps.
How far is the telegraph station on Dikson Island? That's the closest thing?
About 800 kilometers.
Knudsen is willing to go with him.
Tessem ...?
We need to get shipped mail to those at home.
- Could you take responsibility for that? - Yes, sir.
You and Knudsen get a dog bucket and is ready in four weeks. It goes fast.
It does something about a man to sit -
- stuck in the ice for so long.
What do you mean?
Yes, then I welcome.
Oh boy.
I think there have been quiet from you long now.
I go here and talk to you.
Now you have to answer.
I have transferred the property ...
... Villa Uranienborg ... for you.
So I know you always have a home.
No matter what happens.
What's going on?
Don't you want to help?
Sverdrup, get the medical equipment.
Liver transplant never fails.
Was it good?
This is so nice.
We must taste it right away.
Do you want some of it on it too?
No no!
Yes.
Here we have several playmates.
This is a very special person.
Very special. What is it?
The father wants, that we take her to Norway.
To get an education. - Yes, but ...
After all, we can't bring everyone.
Kakonita is an orphan, that's something completely different. We can't begin ...
We must have the movie from the South Pole until tonight.
There are penguins, after all. They can't fly. They just walk around.
Now we have to see if it wants the pipe. No.
Think when Kiss meets them.
Then we become like a small family.
Of course, Nansen is right in his power theory. Absolut.
It's just that five years in the ice is -
- overly optimistic.
The expedition lasted too long, and Roald lost focus.
He began to think in other ways to reach the North Pole at.
We must.
And then there's a country up there -
- with people, with a community.
We're going to the North Pole and see it with your own eyes.
Girls ...
And then he just left and made Wisting captain.
We had put all our money into that ship. Everything.
We know nothing about this huge, white area.
These 2.5 million square miles of frozen polar sea.
We saw...
Will fly up there.
We will be the first, looking down on the last of the earth -
- who have resisted all attempts exploration.
Of course we have no guarantee -
- that we find land up there, a hidden continent.
But if we do -
- then it is one of the most important discoveries -
- in world history.
Then he got two Junker aircraft, "Kristine" and "Elisabeth".
And you probably know how it went.
They flew 30 meters and then ...
For $ 80,000 airplanes just ... left in the snow.
He...
He lost his grip. Sorry, but that's how it was.
You do not know him.
Excuse me?
You knew him once, but nothing more.
I think now I know my brother better than anyone.
I was there.
That's where we met. In Alaska.
In Deering. He did not seem irrational.
- On the contrary. - They haven't heard the whole story.
Amundsen has abandoned the polar flight.
Aline ...
Hello, my name is Engelbregt Digging.
We just come to say -
- it is us, moving into the house down here.
So it was...
And here are more children.
Dav. You've grown a lot, I see.
Now you have to greet two absolutely incredible girls.
I put the girls to school, then you will see that they are also nimble.
All the way from America.
Then we say goodbye to Uncle Leon. Should we do it? Goodbye.
I was worried, what he had in mind.
He continued his hopeless romance with Kiss, who lived in London with the man.
And he spent money we didn't have.
Roald?
Those girls are so incredible. If we get them to school, people just have to watch.
Can we talk together?
- Now? - Yes.
The good thing about dogs is, that they do not read newspapers.
You had to beat them, right? When you were out there?
We should do the same with the reporters?
Greenland dogs are almost wild.
It was brutal, but otherwise glowing they do not.
I know you ordered three new airplanes.
- I would tell ... - You can't, you have to cancel the purchase.
Do you really want to fly again? Like it went last?
- It was an accident ... - Now you're talking about luck?
What did you think of the little planes? After all, it's not science anymore.
It's ... sports.
- Fatal. - Sport was fine when you earned it.
- With the South Pole we had no choice. - Not now either. I'm getting old.
I don't have time to do things Nance's way. Neither has Nansen.
Someone will fly to the North Pole. But who comes first?
Those planes were far too small. We need something bigger. We can fix that.
Came!
I have...
Always, as long as I can remember, I followed you from room to room.
I can not remember, that you have ever come to me.
Can you?
What are you talking about?
I can live in Roald Amundsens shadow, but not when you do this.
When you hide things and endangering others.
- No life is lost under me. - It depends on the calculation method.
You owe $ 20,000 to them last flight you bought. Do you know?
No.
Now you have bought new ones without consulting me. I can't get any more money.
I've lent you 100,000 dollars of your own pocket, and then you give our house to Kiss?
- Yes, because she needs a home. - A home?
She is one of England's richest women!
I have a family to think about.
It has Kiss Bennett well, strictly speaking, too.
I don't know you anymore.
Nobody can. What kind of a captain -
- who leaves the expedition, comes home with two young children and lying to me?
Yes, I'm lying.
So do I, Leon. What did you think?
That I told you everything? Like before?
How was it, Leon?
What?
What had I done, if I had?
Nothing.
Because you had just said no.
You don't dare anymore.
You have become a coward.
I...
I can't control your money matters anymore.
I am writing off all proxies.
Say who's taking over, then I submit my claims.
Leon!
And ... that was the last time I saw him.
Dav.
Of course, he didn't follow my advice and ordered the planes.
Now he has been ruined and gone.
I have some satisfaction.
It was a tragedy.
- Very shameful. - He was all alone.
And then the bankruptcy near him took life.
Do you knowothers, who had risen after that?
- It's just money, Leon. - What do you mean?
It's just money. He risks everything too to do something no one has done before.
And you're talking about a house.
He might have given the impression, but it is not my brother who is sacrificed.
There were losses.
Yes, Hjalmar.
Not only Hjalmar, there were others.
For parts of the crew. lasted the Maud expedition for seven years.
Seven.
During that period, there were several, who left or just ... disappeared.
How did it disappear?
Tessem and Knudsen.
They were going 800 km to the mainland, but never reached.
Remains of a bonfire were found.
And charred bones.
It was believed that one of them was dead, and that the other cremated the corpse.
Later, a mummified body was found on the mainland across from Dikson Island.
He died just three miles from the weather station.
He saw its light as he fell -
- and died of exhaustion.
At the same time, Roald took hot baths in luxury hotels and traveled ...
He was stuck in the ice for three years!
Sverdrup, Olonkin and Wisting stayed on "Maud" for seven years.
Until the ship was seized because of Roald's bankruptcy.
Wisting ...
He had seven children -
- but three of them died of disease, while he was stuck in the ice.
But he remained loyal to his captain.
He refused to let the creditors seize the ship.
They were grown men. They knew what they were up to.
- And then there were the little girls. - He loves them.
- He sent them away, Bess. - He had to.
There is one thing you should know.
Roald told me about a letter. From Kiss.
He was waiting for her with the girls.
She made it past.
He had no choiceg. He was forced to send them away.
Who do you think took care of them, when he was gone?
It was usually us. He did not care.
For two years they went to school here, and then -
- He put them back on a ship to Siberia. Who does such a thing?
You are distorting things.
Do you see the banner? "Everything for Norway." "Everything for Roald" is more appropriate.
- He only goes into one thing. - The North Pole.
Itself.
He's your brother. He's out there somewhere.
You should pray for him.
He is probably satisfied now.
Die like a martyr on the ice surrounded by its people -
- as in the silly adventure books, we read.
I do not understand you.
Why are you so angry?
- I told you. - You say you hate him.
But here you are.
You thought he would come back.
Not true?
You wait.
That's why you're sniffing around here.
This is why you still live inside next door.
You are angry with him, because he does without you.
Nonsense.
You're angry with him, because without Roald had you become a wine importer or something.
And he had written history anyway.
- With or without you. - This I don't find myself in.
Dietrichson. Riiser-Larsen.
Ellsworth, Feucht ... all of you.
It is enough now.
The time is right.
We have done everything we can.
And you have done more, than I could ever expect.
We have been trying for weeks to build a runway.
The one we have now is not approximate long enough.
But there is no more food, so it has to go.
We did not come to the North Pole, but we should get home.
I've seen things like this end well many times.
That's what it is.
Amundsen ...
They love you even more now, where you have risen from the dead.
Congratulations, mr. Amundsen. We feared the worst.
Sir. captain.
Some gray hairs lately.
- Remember that ... - I'm married, I should probably be discreet.
You can talk later.
This is something very special.
We must...
They look good on a dead man to be ... Mr. Captain.
How...?
It is...
... good to have you here.
- Congratulations. - Thanks.
Thank you thank you.
Let's go.
Tell me ... Does Kiss still own all this?
Don't listen to my brother.
He doesn't understand people like you and me.
He lives in a very small world. And it's all about funds ...
I raise money. I'm writing a book.
You saw them pay tribute to me. I raise funds.
Do you think I'm going up in money?
Do you think that's what it's all about?
I...
There is something I would say.
It's always been easier for me than for the others ...
Being alone out there.
For me...
Is it just beautiful.
But this time I was scared.
I thought I never would should make you see again.
You have started something, which you must complete.
I understand that.
And when you've done that ...
Once you have seen what is beyond North Pole ...
Then I will marry you.
But if I do ...
If I get divorced ...
So good -
- that whatever we do ...
... so gwe ear it together.
I promise.
There's this Italian engineer.
He's built ... an airship.
It is much safer, like sitting in an armchair.
But Mussolini wants, that it must be an Italian expedition.
- With me on board. Just imagine. - So you ... Wait. Shut up.
Want to reach the North Pole in an armchair?
I'm old. - I noticed.
Do you think I'll find it up there?
Of course. You've wanted this all your life.
You never gave up.
Most give up their dreams.
Letting them die.
Not you.
And you dream bigger than everyone else.
You should probably find what you are looking for. I know.
Also...
Also?
Someone must ...
... find out about Santa Claus really live there.
But I refuse to sail under Italian flag.
Sir. captain. We are only minutes away.
- Have you seen anything? - No. Only ice cream.
Sir. captain.
Are we there?
Folks ... It is 22 minutes past midnight ...
... on May 12, 1926.
And we have reached the North Pole.
Congratulations.
Ellsworth ...
Nobile ...
Mr. Nobile, you would have done it without Captain Amundsen's help?
Amundsen is a great explorer, but it is an Italian airship -
with Italian engineering and finance.
So I'm planning another expedition with the airship "Italia" and me as captain.
Isn't that true, Titina?
I was standing there aboard the airship ...
With the Italian and the dog of Satan.
And then suddenly ...
Plsurely it was ... over.
It was done.
Finished it.
Then there were no more white spots on the card.
You are much more than that, Roald.
There is still a lot to do.
Medicine.
Technology.
In politics.
I hear you're writing on a book?
Who said that?
Someone who loves you.
Wisting?
He said you might be angry on the English, on the Nobile.
Only on your own brother.
Then I thought, "Is there a worse one time to write an autobiography? "
Fridtjof Nansen, always ready to help anyone.
What is it called?
"My life as a polar scientist". - Polar scientist?
But think about what I said.
We still depend on it a good relationship with the English.
It's my experience -
- to Englishmen in large part is a race of bad losers.
That's exactly what I mean, Roald.
Do you know what I really want?
That Scott got life back.
Then he had just been number two. Loser.
Instead, they made him a martyr and me to the villain who beat him.
I won, but I became a villain.
I who have lived my life after the strictest principles of honor.
I planned the South Pole so carefully, that it looked easy.
That's the stupidest thing I've done.
A book is forever.
Leon?
- Have you finished reading? - Yes.
He scoffs at everything and everyone.
Englishmen. Scott. Nobile.
Hardangervidda, where I saved his life ...
“I was practically frozen in an ice block. "
"I was struggling to get free, but without result. I shouted at mine - - companion. "
That's all that's left of me. A nameless companion.
But sweetheart, are you crying?
The first to winter in Antarctica. The first through the Northwest Passage.
The first, on the South Pole. The first one the Arctic Ocean sailed around.
The first one to sail through both the Northwest and Northeast Passages.
And the crown of the work:The first one to fly over the Arctic between the North Pole and Alaska.
And thus the first on both poles. Shortly said:
The greatest polar scientist of all time.
Wisting ...
Sir. captain?
Nansen, where ...?
Where is he? And the royal couple?
Unfortunately, they had to cancel.
Because of that Satan's book. I knew it.
Bess isn't here either.
But she's coming soon.
As you know, Umberto Nobile is out on a new expedition in the Arctic.
The airship is now reported missing.
A cyclone has hit -
- Spitsberg's west coast and has probably led the airship eastward.
They must be rescued by air, but no airplane has previously managed that stretch.
I'll be the first.
Mr. Amundsen, everyone here would probably like to know, international guests as well as Norwegians -
- whether you participate in the search by Nobile?
Yes. Immediately.
Amundsen?
Congratulations. It was...
Bess Magids.
Amundsen. Captain Amundsen.
Well, Mr. Captain ...
Do you play poker?
What happened?
He's gone, Bess.
He...
Nobile was reported missing, and Roald took a plane to find him.
Why?
The plane crashed -
- a place.
I'm sorryone...
I should have been there.
I could have stopped him.
Nobody could.
Roald Amundsen disappeared on June 18, 1928, 56 years old. He was never found.
When it was ready, that Roald was gone forever -
- became the South Pole Day, December 14, Memorial Day for Roald Amundsen.
The country held two minutes of silence.
Six years later Leon Amundsen died of a bleeding ulcer.
After his engagement to Roald Bess moved back to Canada.
She got married and divorced twice. She died in 1971.
Kakonita and Camilla traveled alone back to eastern Siberia.
Later, they both moved to Canada. They remained close friends.
