Atlantic Crossing (2020) s01e03 Episode Script

Norwegian texts:
Katrine Blekastad Anvik
Rest in place!
Three of!
I know. Most are
whalers without military experience.
Although some of them should be
skilled at shooting - with a harpoon.
-Where are your weapons?
- They have none.
The Allies will not give us any.
The Norwegian force here
conducts raids on the Norwegian coast, -
and cells in Norway
carries out actions around the country.
Then we follow with a massive invasion.
Invasion?
We do not have a strong enough strength for that.
-Yes, with the Allies.
-They do not even want to contribute weapons.
A new campaign against Norway
is the most strategic move now.
Do we get control of the iron ore,
the German war machinery will suffer greatly.
Cheers, Fleischer.
-For Norway.
-For Norway.
And for the Crown Princess and the children. Had to
they get safely through the blockade.
The blockade, what do you mean?
Did you not receive the report?
The ship has changed course
and is on its way to the German blockade.
-Why? That's crazy.
-I do not know more than that.
-The decision was made on the American side.
-Then we have to stop it.
We have tried. They ask us
about trusting them. Sorry.
- Do you see anything?
-No.
-It's so dark. We see nothing.
-Be quiet.
Mine on port side!
-My port page!
-My port page!
-What is it?
-It's probably just an exercise.
I go and see what it is.
-Do not go!
-I'm coming right away.
- It's a mine.
-I do not see it. Where is it?
God, it was close.
-Tender! What is going on?
-It's just an exercise.
Oh, it helps with some fresh air.
-It's good to see you on deck, Märtha.
-Yes.
Listen.
The captain says good weather has been reported.
This means that we can increase the speed.
- Does that mean the danger is over?
-I hope so.
Thank God.
-It has been a tough crossing.
But now you can
embark on a new life.
-Then there is at least a meaning to this.
-Thank you, Florence, for all you have done.
-It will be okay.
-Yes.
-It actually has an apron.
-It's fragile under
Einar, get it back!
Einar, give it back to Astrid.
-Girls
-Get it back!
-Astrid threw my doll on the sea!
-No, it was Einar who started!
-Then I have to get your doll!
-Stop now, girls.
Tender?
Where is Harald?
- Have you seen Harald?
-I'm looking over here.
Come on.
Go the other way.
No!
Spit out.
Spit out!
Pardon.
Pardon.
I was just so scared.
We have been told
that the ship has passed the blockade.
Yes. Thanks.
Yes?
Their Highness.
Do you feel better?
It's something you have to see.
Tender! Come on! Come on!
See, America!
Astrid! Ragnhild! See!
-Tender! We're here!
-Yes we are.
-Come and look!
-I come!
See!
-Are we safe now?
-Yes, now we are safe.
See!
Look at the tall buildings.
They are even higher on this page.
And look at that park there.
Astrid! See! Come on, look!
Oi!
Ragnhild! Astrid!
-Welcome to America!
-Ambassador Morgenstierne.
This way, Your Highness.
Yes, the press is waiting, Your Highness.
-Press?
- Their arrival is a big event.
All the major TV and radio stations
would like to convey this. And the newspapers.
-We have barely entered the door.
-Take it easy. I've prepared something.
Think of all Norwegian Americans
who get to see the Crown Prince's family safely in port.
It is noticed at home as well.
Of course. First I want to talk to mine
man. Can you arrange a line to London?
Could it wait
to after the press conference?
I have not spoken to him
in four months!
-Of course, Your Highness.
-Thanks.
Your Highness, we have arranged
a secure line to Buckingham Palace.
-Thanks!
-A moment.
-Hello?
-Hello? Olav?
Yes
-Hi! We're here!
-Oh my God
It is good to hear.
How are you guys doing?
How are the children?
They are fine.
We are good. We
We thought you were dead,
that the Germans had taken you.
You must not listen to such rumors.
We are safe now.
Good.
I miss you.
When can you come?
Far
need me here, so I have to stay here
a little while longer.
Listen, Märtha. I am sure that
that we will see each other soon.
I hope so.
The last few months have been completely
I know.
I know.
- Your Highness.
-I want them to have a press conference.
-Now?
-Yes.
But it's going to go well.
I do not know how long
I can handle this alone.
Do you want me to pray the Morning Paths
about postponing it?
No, it's just as good that I'm just doing it.
It goes well. But I have to hang up.
Nice to hear your voice.
-Hugs for the kids! Nikolai greets his.
-And hello.
-Good bye.
-Märtha
The press is waiting.
They have to go.
Wait outside.
Get the bag.
-Mother, are you okay?
-It goes well.
Some water.
Look here, take these.
It goes well.
Earlier today, Crown Princess Märtha arrived
of Norway to the USA with his three children -
- after a demanding journey
across the Atlantic.
And directly from the Waldorf Astoria
in New York, the Crown Princess, -
- who will speak to the people.
Their Highness.
Less than a year ago was
my husband, the crown prince, and I at beks
Visiting this
wonderful country for the first time.
Now we're back
as refugees.
I'm one infinite
grateful and happy for -
- that the US President -
- has extended a helping hand
to me and my children.
All Norwegians
looking forward to that day -
- when we can go back
to a free and independent Norway.
May that day come soon.
One at a time, please.
New York Times. Is it true that you
was tried pressure to be regent?
I was not pressured into anything.
-So why did you come?
- Is Prince Olav coming soon too?
-How is the king?
- Have you talked to your husband
That was all.
Thank you for attending.
-She sounded exhausted.
-Yes.
No wonder,
considering the long journey.
At least now she can rest,
only the press leaves her alone.
We invite her
to Springwood this weekend.
-Good. I'm fixing it.
-Thank you, Missy.
I have good news. We have found
a place the crown princess and the children can live.
-Oh?
-Yes. That's really great.
It is located in the countryside, like here.
Good space.
-Where then?
-Massachusetts.
-How far is it from New York?
-A five-six hour drive.
I look forward to finally
to meet the president.
A unique opportunity to speak for Norway.
Thanks to Your Highness.
Take it easy.
Their Highness was invited.
Märtha.
I'm so glad you came.
So nice to see you again.
-Thanks.
-Of course.
- Do you remember my secretary Missy?
-Crown Princess.
I'm sorry Eleanor is not here.
She is busy running the country
while pretending to be president.
And you must be Princess Ragnhild?
What a joy.
I have something for you.
Welcome.
-Thank you very much, Mr. President.
-You're welcome.
And you must be Princess Astrid?
I have something for you too.
Thanks!
And this is Harald.
The future king.
An honour.
This is for you.
-Thanks!
-You're welcome.
And who is this?
A decency?
Wilhelm von Munthe af Morgenstierne,
Norway's ambassador.
What a nice surprise.
It's a joy
to finally meet you, Mr. President.
Well, you must be thirsty after the trip.
What about Mrs. N's famous lemonade?
-It sounds delicious.
-Come on!
I'm so glad you arrived safely
Ambassador Morgenstierne.
Marguerite LaHand.
They need to understand that I need to talk to
the president. It should not take long
-Come on, then we'll take a ride.
-A drive?
Come on!
They can apologize to us,
Mr. Ambassador.
Of course, Mr President.
More lemonade?
Come on! I want to show you
my favorite places.
- Just you and me?
-You, me and the Secret Service.
-Or do you want your decency with you?
-Absolutely not.
Goodbye, Mr. Ambassador.
It's my election campaign song.
I thought it fit today.
-I apologize to the ambassador.
-Do not worry about it.
Have you found a place to live?
The ambassador has known
found somewhere in Massachusetts.
Massachusetts?
Why there?
I would rather live closer to New York.
Yes, who will live in The Bay State when
to Get a Taste of The Big Apple?
-I guess I have no choice.
-Yes.
Unlike me
then you will not be re-elected.
You can do as you please,
and they will never get rid of you.
-Or what?
-That's true.
Well, princess, hold on to your hat!
I've been wondering
why it's called Secret Service.
They are not secret,
and the service is not so good either.
Come on.
Cheers to Märtha
and the children arrived safely.
And for your family too, Nikolai.
Toast.
-1NT.
-Passport.
-2 clover.
-Alert.
What happens if German paratroopers
descending over Buckingham Palace?
-On it again.
-Bertie, it can actually happen.
The guards take care of them pretty quickly.
-Passport.
-2 hearts.
-So you have a contingency plan?
-Of course.
If something happens, I can trigger an alarm,
and the guards mobilize.
- Do you have a kind of bell?
-An alarm button in my office.
-I would like to see it in practice.
-It works!
Have you tried it?
-It looks like a regular light switch.
-Why is it behind the curtain?
Because it is not a regular light switch.
So did not the maid
makes a fuss when she turns off the light.
-Satisfied?
-Try it.
What are you afraid of?
You're the king.
All right.
Like that, then we can go
and beehive rioting.
Soldiers, reports!
Report, sir!
Nothing to report, sir!
It is okay!
I am impressed.
It's going to be fine, Bertie.
The German paratroopers
securely gets stuck in the rose bushes.
Probably my mother.
-Is there something wrong?
-I just want to go home.
Of course.
Sorry, that was completely wrong. I am
so grateful for everything you do for us.
I'm the one to say sorry.
I understand.
We'll have to find them
your magic shoes. We have to.
-Hi!
-Eliza! Come here!
- We have a picnic!
-Nice!
-I see you have met each other.
- This is Mrs. Eliza Forbes.
According to my mother, you are the best masseur
on this side of the Mississippi.
-Only on this page?
-Yes.
-A joy to greet you, Your Highness.
-Likewise.
-Sit down.
-Thanks.
-Mrs. Forbes was actually born in Norway.
-Where then?
I do not know Norwegian. I was little
when we emigrated, so I do not remember much.
-You probably remember the lute fish.
-What is it?
You do not want to know.
I've been thinking a bit
on this with Massachusetts.
I do not think you
to move to Massachusetts.
Don't get me wrong, it's fine there.
But you two do not fit together.
Imagine Massachusetts
as a sturdy, old farmer.
-It's not for you.
-Who suits me, then?
A European princess
need someone who has class, -
- elegance, finesse, experience.
A cultured citizen of the world
with a solid background.
And that is ?
Washington D.C., of course!
I had probably imagined one more
outward-facing type. Like New York.
-Oh no.
-Good choice. They have friends there, don't they?
No, not New York. Too young.
Whimsical. Impatient. Completely unreliable.
No, Washington D.C.
is perfect for you and the kids.
-No. I am voting against.
-I decide, I'm the president.
- I'm voting for New York.
- Do not contradict me, madam
I apologize for the inconvenience,
but we have bad news.
in this moment.
London is bombed.
-I have to call Olav.
-Harry.
-Ground floor is cleared.
-Nice.
Your Majesty.
Can you follow us down to the basement?
Oh my God.
Come on.
Olav, come on.
There is no one there!
It does not even ring.
- We'll try again later.
-How bad is that?
That's bad. Large parts of the city
is on fire due to the bombs.
It is about several hundred
German bombers, maybe
Remember the basement
under Buckingham Palace is deep.
The German bombs do not reach there.
Olav and the king are there, in safety.
What if you and the children live with us
in the White House for a while?
There is plenty of space, nice for the kids.
Swimming pool and direct line to London.
That's nice of you,
but I do not know
No rush.
Just think about it.
-Thanks.
-That's what you have friends for.
-Try to get some sleep.
-I will tell you when we know more about Olav.
I'm not getting through.
We should all go to America.
I understand that you want to Märtha and the children,
but my place is here with the government.
The government should also leave.
They can not do anything here.
The English
treat us like farmers!
The majority of ministers
are actually farmers.
Listen, then.
If England capitulates,
we join the pull. All together.
Then it's over. Stop for us, the government.
It is the end for Norway.
We must seriously consider building a new one
strength where the Germans can not reach us.
-America is neutral.
-In Canada.
At the border with the United States.
The Norwegian Americans want to support us there.
- Recruit for the old country.
-The newspapers wrote that we surrendered voluntarily.
-People will hardly support us.
-That's what we have to do with it!
We will be seen and listened to over there.
The relationship I have with President Roosevelt,
can give us influence.
Think about it.
-Good morning.
-Good morning. That was close.
-But the castle chapel is powdered.
-It's not safe anywhere.
- Do not you live on this site?
-Just some broken windows.
Thank God no one was killed.
But some of the staff were injured.
You do not want to evacuate the children, do you?
The girls will not go without me.
I'm not leaving without Bertie, and Bertie
does not go under any circumstances.
That's for sure.
But we do not take it badly
if you want to move.
-No.
-I'm actually glad we were bombed.
Now we can see the eastern edge in the eyes.
Dear.
Why do not want to move to Canada?
-I just do not understand.
-I understand you'm frustrated.
-But you do an important job.
-I do absolutely nothing.
-You do. If something happens to me
-No no no!
I'm so tired of
that you draw that card there.
Father.
Dad, it's not meant that way.
Far
I just miss Märtha and the kids,
do not you understand that?
Of course you have to go.
I'll not stop you.
Olav! Hi! Are you alive?
How are you?
I'm fine and Dad's.
With Nikolai too. All together.
-But with you
-What did you say? Olav?
-With you and the kids?
-Good. They want to talk to you.
Yes. I miss
I miss them.
Franklin has asked us
come live in the White House!
-Franklin?
-Yes, now we are dus.
-It's very generous of him.
-But we can not do that, can we?
-Of course you can
-What?
-Hello?
- I think you should do that.
What?
Are you sure?
-Yes. It opens up many opportunities.
-Possibilities?
He's the most powerful man in the world,
which you are obviously dus with.
Yes, what do you think I should
The morning trails will please
that you get an audience with the president.
Yes. Yes, I have to
We'll see.
Franklin has said that you are welcome.
The government too.
- Have you discussed this with the President?
-Yes of course.
-And you've talked to Haakon, haven't you?
-Yes.
-And?
- We can not come right now.
You can't stay in London!
That's madness!
Listen, Märtha, you have to trust me.
I do what I can.
My dear,
can you not just say when you arrive?
Not as long as the war is going on.
Men
The war can continue for several years.
-Think if Hitler wins.
-Yes.
That's exactly why Dad and I
must stay here. To contribute to the fight.
The only thing we ask of you,
is to be patient.
And wait?
Yes. Märtha
Märtha? Hello?
Olav? Hello?
We were broken.
So I can not talk to him?
No. There will be more opportunities,
my darling.
It is unfair.
-Is there anything new?
-Yes, we obviously have to -
- live in the White House.
Come on, Harald!
They take on us!
Keep swimming, Harald!
They take in!
You can do it! Keep going!
- Here we sit.
-What else can we do?
-Yes!
-Good, Harald!
Very good, Harald. What if
we all get a prize for the effort?
Signe, can you give me the dressing gown?
You will not be bland.
-There.
-Please!
I'm president, so I decide.
One for you, one for you.
And one for me.
I feel like another attempt.
Do you want to try?
No.
Can I tempt
with a love on a stick?
They are very good.
Breakfast is ready, Mr President.
- Breakfast is ready, Mr President!
-No, I'm going to swim with Märtha!
I am sure that
that Her Highness can wait.
What must a president do?
to get a break?
Maybe not run for re-election again?
That will not happen.
I do not get it. The Secretary
behaves as if she were his wife,
- and Eleanor is never home.
She has known an apartment in New York,
where she lives with another woman.
It just has to be rumors, right?
Their marriage is certain
a scheme that serves them both.
-They have six children together.
-20 years ago Eleanor discovered -
- that the president had
a relationship with his secretary.
His mother threatened to make him hereditary
if he divorced. So they remained married.
Then it was probably just
to get a new secretary, then.
When we talk about
the president's weakness for women
Everyone with eyes in their heads realizes that
the president is captivated by the crown princess.
The president and Olav are friends. We shall
be grateful that he is so kind.
And that worries me.
That the world's most powerful man
spends so much time on you.
In the middle of the election campaign. One would think
that he had other things to do, and rumors
Thanks, Ragni,
I can do the rest myself.
Can you not save stray dogs like others,
and not royals?
They're refugees, Missy, in need.
I'm not worried about your heartbeat.
How long can they stay here
before Republicans doubt neutral
She can stay here as long as I want!
- There you are.
-Harry!
Eleanor is back
and asked me to give you this.
-SS "Quanza".
-Yes, the ship with Jewish refugees.
She wants you to give them political asylum.
I agree. It can become
fateful to send them back.
There is so much space here -
some more refugees are doing well, right?
Tell Eleanor to look into it.
-And that she gets two scripts tonight!
- We'll have a look at it.
To, Harry!
Atlantic convoy
attacked by submarines
Damn.
What is it?
-The convoys across the Atlantic.
-I saw it. That's too damn good.
Fleischer?
Fleischer!
-Little R and R?
-Otherwise, thank you, I'll just have a coffee.
-Good day.
-No, sit down. You're welcome.
I have been in contact with
the Minister of Defense and the Prime Minister.
Did you talk to them
about the Norwegian air base in Canada?
-Yes.
-So good.
Finally, the government is showing courage.
Then we can soon put
the course over the pond, then?
It does not happen under my leadership.
It's actually a conflict
with what I recommended.
Now I do not understand
The air base will not be a part
of a Norwegian liberation force.
-What is the point then?
-The government has been persuaded -
- to train Norwegian pilots
to fly under the RAF.
They are obviously going to fight
in England for England.
There will be no invasion of Norway.
We are dependent on
that it goes through in the House of Commons.
But Olav, come in.
Canada Air Base
Yes. Little Norway.
Excellent name. What is the problem?
Why is not
General Fleischer involved?
His assessments do not stand
so high in price with the government.
He is the only Allied general
which has inflicted a defeat on the Germans!
That's the problem.
Fleischer is far too belligerent.
Yes, he's a general, damn it!
Sometimes even a general has to
understand the value of diplomatic finesse.
Fleischer is obsessed with the idea of
to reconquer Norway through an invasion.
-Yes?
-Our forces cannot do it alone.
As long as Churchill is not with us
on the notes, it's just dreams.
Norway needs help, and we are best served
with a collaboration with the British.
Our freedom struggle is falling
with the existence of Great Britain.
So everyone at home in Norway is
left to themselves? Is it like this?
The battle for Norway is here!
And Fleischer must take that into account.
Listen now here.
If you want to make an effort,
I have an important task for you.
Get Märtha to arrange a meeting with
The Morning Paths and President Roosevelt.
We know Roosevelt personally
sympathize with us, with the allies.
We must get both him and the United States
to support the fight against Hitler.
Yes. It all depends.
-And on what then?
-If he is re-elected president.
-To you, Mr. President.
-Again?
-What about eggs for a change?
-It's not Sunday.
Mrs. Nesbit, see here:Wilma's waffles.
It says that they almost make themselves.
- Less work for you, Mrs. N.
Porridge is good for you. Eat up, now.
-Hello everybody!
-Good morning.
Pappmasjé. Yuck.
Yuck!
-Just!
-Matro.
Good.
Thank you, godfather!
-Godfather?
-Something they have to call me.
-What's wrong with "Mr. Roosevelt"?
-What's wrong with "grandpa"?
-Have you thought more about a permanent home?
-She can stay as long as she wants.
Of course. But a separate home will well
make things a little easier - especially for the kids.
It's naive to believe
that this war is soon over?
Do not care about Missy.
She is right.
The war will probably not end with the first.
I can introduce you to
a real estate agent in New York.
In fact, I plan to stay here in D.C.
-What happened to Massachusetts?
-The Norwegian embassy is here.
-And then I like myself here.
-Great! Then we will find a house for you.
- Do you mean now?
-Yes! Come on!
You can not.
We are in the middle of the election campaign!
Oh, how stupid I am,
I had forgotten that.
Redo on all day.
Thanks, Missy.
Come on, Märtha.
-I think the house was pretty nice.
-I liked it too.
But I'm not sure the size.
The children need more space.
Maybe you'm right.
What about that?
That was nice.
It looks like a farm.
A farm does not suit a princess.
-Well, we actually live on a farm at home.
-Do you?
And I who thought it was a castle.
-Is the next one far away?
-No.
Oh, look at that!
Can you drive a little slower?
-Oh, that was lovely.
-Yes, it is.
-But I do not know if it is available.
-No. I just wanted to take a look.
- Damn it, we ask!
-No no.
The President is coming!
Welcome back, Mr President.
Welcome, Your Highness.
-Have you found a house?
-Yes. Pooks Hill.
We can move in in a couple of weeks.
Just a half hour drive from here.
Yes, it was practical.
They have to apologize for being so straight forward,
miss LeHand, but I almost have to say it:
-I'm not a threat to you.
-No, should you be?
I'm the next queen of Norway
and will not trade it for your role.
-My role?
-When we move, everything will be as before here.
-Don't be so sure.
-On what?
If Hitler wins the war,
you will not be queen of anything.
