Extra! Extra!
Read it here!
German saboteurs taken in New York!
Extra! Read it here!
-You're welcome.
-German saboteurs taken in New York!
Submarines landed spies.
8 arrested.
-They can visit your friend today.
- Are you sure?
Yes. And feel free to bring the kids.
I need to talk to Franklin - alone.
-Shall we go again right away?
-Yes, back in the car.
Yes.
So great, Harry. Thanks.
Oh, that I've missed you.
You must have heard
of the German saboteurs, haven't you?
Yes.
We are very relieved.
-Listen here
-I
You first.
Oh, I can 't hold on!
I just got confirmation
that seven destroyers -
- is ready to take the maiden voyage
to England right after the summer.
You get your warship!
A gift from America to Norway.
Thanks!
That was great news.
Your turn.
What were you going to say?
No, it was not important.
(The phone is ringing.)
Forbes, please.
I'll manage.
Do not do anything
that might arouse suspicion. Understood?
Of course.
What are you taking me for?
They're coming now.
I have to hang up.
Finally! Hi!
So good to see you!
Welcome.
-Hey, children.
-To you.
-I picked them.
- We stopped along the way.
So incredibly kind of you.
I love flowers. Join up!
- Did the trip go well?
-Yes, it was hot.
I can imagine.
Fortunately, there is some wind on the terrace.
-I want to be with mom.
-She's busy.
We'll just be here a little while.
I have lemonade here.
Are you thirsty?
But maybe,
just maybe, -
- then we can go and buy ice cream afterwards!
That's what I thought.
Come on!
Look at you, then!
But must the saboteurs be executed?
Absolutely. We must send
a strong message to Hitler.
-But the electric chair?
- They do not deserve a military execution.
There is no evidence that they
were looking for either you or me.
But those who confessed
revealed plans for other operations -
- which could have catastrophic consequences.
Many American lives were saved.
All violence.
-And all the safety
-Better lead was than after soon.
What kind of relationship does the
Crown Princess and the President really have?
Even if I had known,
I would not have been able to say anything.
But you must have heard the rumors?
And they are a lot together.
Also without decency.
Why are you not there now?
I have to apologize for
Eliza Forbes slipping away from us.
Who would have thought that?
She was my mother's masseur!
I do not know if I understand
She is unreliable. She is affiliated
with Norway's Nazi Prime Minister.
She knows his brother,
who lives in Brooklyn. She's Nazi - friendly.
-Oh my God!
-Yes.
Ragni is visiting Mrs. Forbes now.
And she has the children with her!
Jones!
-What do you say, children, do you want ice cream?
-Yes!
The seller is down the road here.
Can we go there?
- Do I have a choice?
-No.
No, I'll join them.
Relax. It's right over here.
And how often do you get the chance
to sit down for a few minutes?
All right.
But do as Mrs. Forbes says, then!
Yes yes!
We will be back soon.
Come then, children, this way!
How is it possible
that no one knows where Mrs. Forbes lives?
She lives in Hyde Park.
That's all I know.
- We're leaving right away.
-Come on.
Come on, boys!
Harald, wait!
Wait!
Lets see
Come on.
Forbes Yes!
Found it!
Oaks Road 33! Come on!
I first!
You can play on the slide, Harald.
Wait here, we'll check the house.
Spread the word!
Come on, then we'll go.
Come on.
Secured!
There is no one here.
-Secured!
-Søren.
There is no one here. But the car is here,
so they are not far away.
-The gate is open!
-Get in the car and we'll check it out.
- My ice
-It's going well. I have more ice cream at home.
Let me ask that man there
if he can drive us home. Come on!
-I do not think we should do it.
-Take it easy, I know him.
It's a friend. Come on!
Ragni probably wonders where we end up.
We have to get back.
Eliza!
Where are you going?
We were just on our way home.
He's lost his ice cream,
so he's a little upset.
Stand still!
-Jones, do not be stupid
-Away from the kids!
-It must be a misunderstanding.
-Mrs. Østgaard, come here with the children.
-How could you?
-Mrs. Østgaard.
- You're under arrest, Mrs Forbes.
-What is going on?
Take her.
Careful!
- There she is.
-Mother!
Harald!
Harald!
Thank God.
-What is going on?
-Nothing. Nothing. All is well.
-All is well.
-It was really scary.
Mor
-Where are the children?
- They're here on Pooks Hill.
-So everything is fine. Before you
-What did they get?
Almost nothing.
Harald understood nothing. Everything is fine now.
"All is well"?
She's a Nazi!
We are of course
shaken by this, but
But it will not happen again.
I want the kids
to move here to London.
-Children?
-Yes, they are better off here with me.
You obviously have
more than enough to keep your fingers in.
What do you mean?
Olav?
You get the details of Morgenstierne.
-But listen to me
-No.
Listen, then, wait
Where are you going?
- Your Highness gets my resignation.
-What?
I'm traveling to London.
No!
No, you are not allowed to go.
I've all talked to Nikolai.
No!
They must not leave me now!
Their Highness.
-Dear you
-But then I go too.
Then I go too.
This is how it must be.
This is how it must be.
One more, thank you.
You're welcome.
Thanks.
One year after the lightning, London rises
like a bird phoenix from the ashes
Excuse me, Your Majesty.
They have visitors.
Welcome.
Märtha!
Hey!
-And the children?
- They're at home in Washington.
-Yes, thank God.
-But how are you?
-The city is bombed to pieces.
- We can do it.
But how glad I am to see you.
I did not want
to miss the king's 70th birthday.
Come come.
I want to hear all about the kids.
Please sit down.
We can thank God for the
effectiveness of American intelligence.
Yes, this time
they did not spare anything.
-That I understand.
-It was almost a lot.
Where are the children?
They're on Pooks Hill with Signe -
- and at least 20 Secret Service agents.
Olav! Wait!
Wait, yes.
-Why aren't the children here?
-We have to talk about it!
How can you leave them?
There is no place in all of America that
is as well guarded as Pooks Hill now.
No. But I have decided.
The children will move here.
- You decided?
-Yes.
So they should have it
like you had it when you grew up?
Are they going to grow up without their mother?
They already do. You travel a lot
and leave the kids to strangers!
I am away for short periods,
and trying to do something for Norway's cause!
Your little campaign?
You are only exposing yourself and your children to danger!
-My little campaign?
-Yes.
And.
Yes, I was going to tell this
in a different way, but
Franklin is coming to
From now
on, America will support us.
They have given us a warship.
Fully equipped.
It is ready to be launched.
What are you saying?
It's absolutely fantastic!
Finally!
Yes, and they would love to name it
after you on the occasion of your 70th birthday.
It does not matter.
The most important thing is that they support us!
Finally!
Oh, honey
Å
(Cheers.)
-Your Majesty!
-Happy Birthday!
Dear family,
and my dear friends.
I'm so incredibly happy
to see you here tonight.
For it is in dark times like these -
- that we must not stop celebrating the
few bright spots that occasionally occur.
And the fact that my dear, dear
daughter-in-law is sitting among us tonight, -
- that's probably
the biggest gift I could get.
And her tireless work
for the Norwegian cause -
- and for our interests
in the United States -
- has made Norway now
one of the leading nations at all.
I can not
thank you enough for that.
And I would like to take this opportunity
to award Crown Princess Märtha -
- large cross with chain
of the Order of St. Olav.
Come here, my girl.
Yes, pictures.
Congratulations, my girl.
-Bravo!
-Bravo!
Congratulations.
Then at least
one of us has achieved something.
You know I did not ask for this.
I do not
think I deserve it either.
Have you stopped meeting him?
I'll never have to see him again.
But did you tell him?
Before you came here? That it's over?
-That's the end?
-Yes, that's exactly what I'm wondering too!
Olav.
I just
I just
want everything to be as before.
Have you seen London?
Nothing is as it was before.
You can not ride two horses at the same time.
You have to choose a page.
Yes, and I choose you.
-Then you must first opt ​​him out.
-Then I do it.
I understand your position well.
You think,
"What if Hitler wins?"
Norway is lost, the
royal house does not exist.
You're just an express princess.
Maybe I'm dying here in London.
Then you need a plan B.
To secure you and the children a future.
Yes.
I'm not blaming you for that.
On the contrary.
Every good mother would think the same.
But imagine if it goes the other way.
What if we win
and I survive?
Where do you stand then?
You
You've used me.
You must have understood
that it could cost to play such a game?
I may not have understood
how well you should play that role.
The children
The children stay with me.
-When does the plane leave tomorrow?
-Tomorrow early at 9 o'clock.
-Thanks.
-For what?
For you to come back.
It means a lot to me.
Of course, Your Highness.
Do not call me that.
I will probably never be queen of Norway.
Do not talk like that.
Their Highness
is Norway's future queen.
In the.
I feel it deep inside me.
(Lots of laughter.)
-So you carried him over the doorstep?
-Yes!
Hi! Damn if a Norwegian should
sit here alone. Sit down with us!
Their Highness.
Lieutenant Hammershøy.
- Your Highness.
- Your Highness.
-Hey, Ulla.
-Hi. Is not father here?
-No, he's off tonight.
-Oh yes.
Did I ruin the mood now?
-Yes.
-No, absolutely not, Your Highness!
-It's an honor that you will sit with us.
-No, honor Now we'm having fun.
Lieutenant Thorbjørn Tradin.
He was on the wings April 9.
-Was shot down, but survived.
-As you probably see.
And his wife Tulla.
Tulla.
Tulla and Ulla.
-Tulla is the one who has
-Thorbjørn!
Big belly.
- His name will be Thorbjørn.
-If it's a girl?
Thorbjørnine!
Another round?
No, sit down. Especially you.
-Care aid?
-Yes please.
-What do you drink?
-Beer for the ladies, whiskey for the men.
-Two pints and three whiskeys, please.
- Must stay.
-Have you started flying in a cruise?
-Five over France already.
Erling has three.
Match?
What is it like?
Honest?
It's really bad on the ground,
because then I can not do shit.
I know the feeling.
In the cockpit
I hold the plug and have control.
Maybe not control,
but I'm doing something. That's better.
And.
-What is it about?
-Thorbjørn!
What is going on?
Has the water gone?
-It's going well. Do not panic.
- Are you taking a purse?
We need a taxi
Märtha!
How was it in London?
Oh, it was worse than I thought.
Is everything OK?
I have received news about
my eldest son Jimmy. He
He has been in battle
against the Japanese at Makin.
- Is he hurt?
-No, he did well.
Thank God.
But his battalion has suffered losses.
Over twenty were killed, several captured.
It made me realize
that it could just as easily have been him.
Well, we're not talking about sad things.
I need a good laugh.
How about a drink?
We have bourbon, gin
We can no longer meet in this way.
-Why not?
-Because I have to get Olav back.
But he sent you and the children here.
Yes. And that's his victim.
He has done nothing
to protect you.
Yes. He made sure I
was placed under your protection.
Märtha.
We have something special together,
you and me.
Something none of us -
- can experience
with someone else.
We both know that.
Thank you for everything you have done
for my family.
Märtha.
I've done it.
I've told Franklin
I can 't see him anymore.
What?
Did you say that? Now?
- Wasn't that what you wanted?
-It's just before the presentation!
Franklin may
withdraw the ships.
No.
He would never do that.
I know him.
Anyway, it's done now.
Yes, I have to call Morgenstierne
and get him to sort this out.
We have received an answer
from the Norwegian king, -
- who sends Crown Prince Olav
to receive the ship.
In the.
Crown Prince Olav
will not formally receive the ship.
-But King Haakon can not
-Märtha will do it.
- From a diplomatic point of view
- It does not matter, Harry.
Let them know that either
Märtha will receive the ship, -
- otherwise I rename it
"King Leopold" and give it to Belgium.
Thanks, Harry.
You decide.
Was it wise
It is not a request,
but formulated as a requirement.
That's not entirely unreasonable, is it?
We would not have got the ship without Märtha.
Olav!
I think you should travel over anyway.
Stand by Märtha's side
as she receives the ship.
(The plane alarm goes off.)
To hell.
Everyone has to go down to the basement! Fast!
Chess.
Matt.
Everyone has to go down to the basement! Fast!
Wait.
- Has anyone seen Olav?
-He probably went beforehand, Your Majesty.
Men
-He is not here. Olav is not here.
-Your Majesty. Come on.
(Bombedrønn.)
-Franklin?
-I'm too tired to read notes tonight.
It can wait.
I'm going to London tomorrow.
So you have plenty of time to read them.
And so I added three extra tonight.
-I can take over now.
-Thank you, Arthur.
Harry has told about Märtha.
-I know what you're going to say.
-And?
That's the right thing to do.
For whom then?
You would not like me to take credit
for something you had worked so hard for.
Just make
sure you do it for the right reason.
If you do it for the wrong reason,
you will not get her back.
Have a good time, Franklin.
I'm calling you from London.
Does.
And good luck on your journey.
Eleanor.
-Thanks.
-For what?
Because you are
my eyes and ears in the field.
Because you're doing
what I'm not capable of doing.
-You are still breathing a little heavily.
-It hardly bothers me.
The preliminary tests are as feared.
Off with the glasses.
I want to put you in the hospital
to take some more samples.
- Am I going to die right away?
-I hope not.
Then I do not want to go to the hospital.
I feel healthy.
But you're not well.
You have to take the situation seriously.
Let me decide that.
Arthur! My jacket. Thanks.
Thank you, Doctor.
So nice that you could meet me.
I could not let you come
all the way here without meeting you.
- What do you think of London?
-Surprisingly cold.
I dreamed of a hot bath
after the long journey, but they said:
"Do not fill the bathtub with more than
20 cm of water." They had drawn a line!
Yes, it is the rationing
of both water and fuel.
Is there rationing of daylight as well?
The curtains are always drawn.
It's because of the bombing.
They keep the broken glass away.
Yes of course.
Sometimes
he does something right, you know.
-Whose?
-Franklin.
I do not regret so much in this life.
But I regret -
- that I no longer fight
for my marriage.
-But you are still married?
-Formally, yes.
But we're just a work team -
- where mutual respect
is what we have to give each other.
We got lost -
- while we fought for each our cause, -
- so we both lost a soulmate.
So sorry to hear
that their marriage is such an arrangement.
It does not have to be this way -
- for you and Märtha.
In recent years, Märtha has been torn
between her country, the children and you, -
- but I've never seen her
ever put herself first.
She's really unusual, Olav.
Able to love -
- in a way
that at least I could not.
It would be foolish
to waste it because of
Your Highness!
It's served.
Thanks.
-Sorry, I did not mean to disturb.
- By all means, Your Highness.
-Have we met before?
-No, but I know your husband.
Carl Gustav Fleischer.
General Fleischer?
It is probably more correct to say
military attaché for Canada.
-Are you at the base at Little Norway?
-No.
I was to investigate the possibility of
forming a Norwegian army in Canada.
It is not life made.
Norwegian Americans would rather fight
for America than old Norway.
Which at the moment only exists
as an increasingly fading memory.
Everything indicates that the wind is turning, right?
Now that the Americans are at war?
But if the Germans
were to win the war in the end,
- Norway's fate is highly uncertain.
-How?
-Norway is a fairly small country.
It is not uncommon for small countries to be
given as booty in peace negotiations.
And it would not be the first time.
For Norway.
No, I guess
It was a pleasure to be allowed
to meet you finally, Your Highness.
Likewise.
The proposal is then put to the vote.
Everyone who votes for?
Yes.
If there are no more cases, then
-I have a case.
-Oh well?
And.
I've been told that General Fleischer
has been relocated to Washington.
As a military attaché.
Yes
It so happens that he did not
manage the task he was given.
-He failed to build the army
-The task was impossible to solve.
He should be glad he has a position.
This is the general who led the battle
for Narvik. Which we won thanks to him.
And you do what you can
to humiliate him.
The Crown Prince has forgotten
that he disgraced himself -
- by proposing
a peace agreement with Germany!
We are the ones who have disgraced ourselves.
The government and the royal house.
Fleischer has never received the recognition
he deserves for Narvik!
I agree with the Crown Prince.
General Fleischer
has been punished for an assessment -
he in the given situation
thought was the best for Norway.
We have never really thanked him for
his invaluable efforts during the campaign.
Fleischer deserves the war cross.
The Crown Prince is right.
General Fleischer is hereby awarded the
War Cross for his efforts for Norway.
Send a telegram to Morgenstierne.
Immediately.
(Cheers.)
If there is any -
- who is still wondering
why we are waging this war, -
- then let him look to Norway.
If there is anyone who floats in the
delusion that war could have been avoided, -
- then let him look to Norway.
And if there are any -
- who doubts the will of
democracy to win, -
- then I say again:
Let him look at Norway.
The beautiful and generous words you
have just uttered, Mr President, -
- will eventually find his way
to all Norwegian homes.
Yes, to everywhere in this world -
- where Norwegian women and men
pray and work -
- and fights to regain
the free and happy Norway -
- we all long for. Thanks.
That's something I need to know.
And?
Was it just about this?
And.
No, you're lying.
I can see it.
