Original subtitles

One day they were suddenly there, like a flock of crows.

They said nothing would change for the worse.

Things would only get better.

The first of many lies they told us.

The first of many we had to tell ourselves.

The Raven himself is hoarse, that croaks the

fatal entrance of Duncan under my battlements.

The Raven himself is hoarse, that croaks the fatal entrance of Duncan Come,

you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from the crown

to the toe-top, full of direst cruelty, and make thick my blood.

I never remember that line.

I have to be word perfect for the audition on Monday.

Was I believable, at least?

Come, Billy.

Hey, are you feeling better?

You look terrible.

Oh, Mama, be gentle.

Isn't that mine?

I wanted to feel close to you.

It helps me get better.

What have you been doing today?

I practiced my lines a little.

So it was that, huh?

You're not sick at all, are you?

Shall we listen to the radio?

You know I'm crazy over you While I live, I just can't give you up I swear I'll hang

around you And I'll hound you Till I make you care One little, little, little,

two little, little, little, three little words I wanna hear Outside of love...

From the one and only... Everything else seems to be a waste of time.

Then every day I'll return And sing this ditty until you learn You idiot!

You break the window!

Come down, then.

Oh, there you are.

If you see Ola in town, tell him to come back.

You remember my Ola?

He's not coming back.

Sure he will.

Oh, you're so kind.

I don't even remember your name.

It's Esther.

Esther Elbertson.

Esther.

Like the queen in the Bible.

Yes.

Would you like to come and play cards with me?

I'm sorry.

I really can't right now, Mrs. Jensen.

Ola.

Where should we go?

Papa says they closed the cinema.

Let's go to the fjord.

They can't close that.

Where did you get the cigarette?

I found it on the ground.

Shh.

Germans.

Good as new.

Do you want a puff?

That's been in someone's mouth.

That cigarette was smoked by an honest Norwegian.

In America, you can buy cigarettes in the streets.

But we're not in America.

Papa says we're going there.

So you can be a movie star.

What are you staring at?

Nothing, I'm...

I have to help papa.

Come.

I thought you said you were late.

Hurry up then.

Very nice.

As ever, Hans.

Very nice.

Thank you, Mrs. Hanning.

Thank you, Hans.

See you next month?

Yes, indeed.

I'll deliver the wig for you.

Take it to the theatre director, Mr. Gleditsch.

Goodbye, Mrs. Hanning.

Thank you.

Goodbye.

Hans, how are you?

Nice to see you.

Nice to see you too.

Welcome.

Esther, are you encouraging my son to smoke?

Of course not.

I told him it's disgusting.

Just kidding.

Yes?

Yes?

How was your day?

You have to be careful, Hans.

They're arresting Jews in Televåg.

You should leave.

I love my life, my family, my world.

You know there's a curfew now?

I spend my life in here, listening to idle gossip.

It's just talk.

That's what they said in Televåg.

It's all right.

I'll be fine.

And besides, we have tickets for America.

There you are.

All right.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Don't door them, sweetheart.

Mr. Gleditsch needs that today.

The dagger I see before me, handle toward my hand.

Come, let me clutch thee.

I have thee not.

And yet I see.

So, are you excited about the premiere tonight?

Of course.

Let's just start doing my wild duck monologue.

Starting with your line, please.

Okay.

I suppose she dived to the bottom that wild ducks do.

They shoot to the bottom, as deep as they can get.

And trap themselves fast in the tangle and seaweed.

And all the devil's own mess that grows down there.

And they never come up again.

And what is this all about, sir?

Henry Gleditsch?

Yes.

Unfortunately, the premiere is sold out.

But I'm sure I can get you how many?

One, two, three...

Oof!

Hey,

aren't you gonna eat?

Hans.

You need to talk to her.

It's not safe for her to be on the streets anymore.

Not with her daydreaming and... She is safe.

Besides...

She may be running the shop before you know it.

Yes, Papa.

Queen of Spades.

You're not cheating, are you?

You look like an innocent flower, but...

you're a serpent under the eaves.

I told you, playing would make you feel better.

Huh?

What are you doing?

Sorry, sir.

Vladimir Abramowitz.

Yes?

Then why does your doorplate read Hans Albertson?

I'm Norwegian.

I was born here.

No.

You're a Jew.

What are you doing?

Stop, Esther.

Papa.

Esther, don't worry.

Papa will be back, darling.

Of course.

How else would an artist keep their hair trimmed?

No.

Why didn't you help Papa?

Sometimes you have to pretend to survive.

Here.

Give this to your mother.

Toa!

Please.

Toa!

Who is there?

Come, Billy.

We're here.

We have to go.

Okay.

Good luck.

Good luck.

Come, Esther.

Come down.

Sorry.

The bird stays here.

No, please.

It stays here.

Please.

I mean, at least set him free.

For the movies.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Who's the captain?

All of you.

Hurry up.

Come on.

Move.

No.

You're so angry.

Lou.

No.

Stop talking.

Stop.

You must be praying.

No, no.

No.

No.

No.

No.

No.

Papa.

I saw someone.

Not now, son.

But I saw someone in here.

Hey!

Didn't you hear him?

Not now!

You found something?

Yeah.

What?

Your brain?

Leave him alone!

What's the matter with you?

You can't take a joke!

Let me help you.

Why couldn't you give him a real boy?

Enough!

Enough!

Enough!

I crossed.

Nice to see you again.

Your mission was a success?

No.

One escaped.

A Jewish girl.

Soldat!

You write your report until this afternoon.

I want to know what happened.

Do you understand?

Yes.

Boy!

Help with the suitcases.

Here.

Anyone can follow your tracks.

Who are these people?

If you stay out here any longer, you freeze to death.

If you stay out here any longer, you freeze to death.

Who are you?

I knew you were.

The only kind Papa hates more than the British.

Do you realize what trouble we could get into?

When have you been here?

They're still looking for you.

Hey!

Who are you talking to up there?

No one.

I don't believe you, boy.

There's no one here.

You're lying.

What are you hiding?

Is he dead?

Get help.

Ma!

Ma!

Fred.

Fred.

Fred.

He was drunk again, Mama.

What the hell happened?

He slipped.

Axel found him here.

Let's get him inside.

Help me, Axel.

Axel!

Hey.

What's the matter with you, boy?

Let him be.

Let him be.

This is the very painting of your fear.

This is the air drawn dagger which you said led you to Duncan.

All these flaws and stats.

Impostors to true fear.

Would well become a woman's story at a winter's fire.

Authorized by her grandma.

Shame itself.

What are you doing out here, boy?

I need help.

Hey, look at me.

How did you get here?

I'm lost.

You know this one?

No.

All right.

Get him in the car.

Go.

Take off your hat.

Oh, for Christ's sake.

Where did you find him?

He found us.

Left in front of the car like he had a death wish.

I thought it was an ambush.

Go to your room, boy.

So.

What happened to you?

I lost my parents.

Speak up, boy!

How?

They were killed.

We told you to speak up.

Fred!

By whom?

Bummers.

The British.

Don't I always say that?

The bastards.

What's your name?

Ulla.

Ulla Jensen.

And you had no one?

My grandmother lives in Trondheim, but she's seeing her.

So we're settled?

Yeah.

Send him back to Trondheim.

We could really use extra hands, Pa.

It's also an extra mouth to feed.

Didn't I tell you to go to your room?

He's right, Johan.

You'll be busy with the election and Fred can't work.

Will you be quiet?

It's not a decision we make.

It's time for women and children.

Maybe... maybe she's right, Johan.

Oh, come on.

Of course.

There's a lot of work to do and your farm is very important to us.

And after all, what possible harm could a young boy do?

But listen.

We're going to work hard and help this good man in exchange for his hospitality.

Good.

All right.

Try it.

Try it.

Shut the door!

What happened?

Your hair.

It's easier this way.

The world thinks I'm a boy.

So what's plaguing my pig?

I've been trying to fatten it up for election

day and every damn thing is wasting away.

It's not a virus or a hoof and mouth.

Are you sure?

He told me.

There's no blisters on his feet or mouth.

No fever.

Where did you train?

A healthy pig loves to eat so I would monitor his appetite.

Do you have eggs, milk, molasses?

Put that in his pig feed.

That will get him eating again and I'll come back in a week and check on him.

If he keeps being sick it's not worth his hide.

Isn't there a real vet I can talk to?

Have you got a name?

You've got nice dark eyes.

Like Humphrey Bogart.

My mama loved him.

Can I call you Bogie?

Are you just pretending to be sick so they can't serve you for dinner?

That's very smart Bogie.

Very smart.

I'm sorry.

We can't keep doing this.

It's too dangerous.

More dangerous if we stop.

Why?

I would lose my mind.

Hold on.

Here.

Here.

Shall I open it now?

Later.

I'll have to leave again today.

But when I'm back, let's go somewhere where we can be seen.

I need to know this is real.

Do you need any help, Mrs. Dalgore?

I didn't know you were there.

May I help you?

How did you learn to do that?

My mama taught me.

She was just like you.

A very good mother.

There's a blizzard coming.

I have to stay warm.

Why isn't dinner ready?

I'm sorry.

What have you been doing all day, woman?

We'll be five tonight.

Five?

What use is this boy?

Use?

Tell you what use.

Did you do your chores today?

Yes, sir.

You see Fred?

He did more today than you did in a week.

And he drinks less.

Lucky for you, you're my brother.

You wouldn't be living here.

Lucky.

And nobody else would have you either.

Useless.

I think Axel was right for a change.

I might have found somebody I can rely on.

I'll make a bed for you upstairs later.

Thank you.

What are you staring at, Fred?

Go do something useful.

Good night.

Night.

I love you.

I'm not a child anymore.

Good night, Ola.

Good night.

This weather can last for weeks!

Have you ever made a snow angel?

Try.

Mine looks more like a bird that's been winged.

Ha!

What do you want to be when you grow up?

An actress.

Papa promised we'd move to America.

America?

What's your papa like?

He's wonderful.

And he gives the best haircut in the whole of Trondheim.

Does he love you?

Of course.

What's the city like?

It's beautiful.

Well... I don't know.

It wasn't until the Germans came.

Maybe one day when they're gone.

I can move to the city with you.

I could help you act in your films.

Me, you, and your papa together.

Maybe.

Maybe one day.

What beast was then that made you break this enterprise to me?

When you durst.

Do it.

Then you were a man.

And to be more than what you are now.

You would be so much more than man.

Nor time.

Nor place.

Did then adhere.

Yet you would make both.

They have made themselves.

And that their fitness now does unmake you.

I have given suck and know how tender it is to love the babe that milks me.

I would while it was smiling in my face have plucked my nipples from his boneless

gums and dashed the brains out had I so sworn I would have done to this.

Good.

I'm going to Trondheim.

For my interview with the national party.

To represent the district.

It's an honour.

Not that anyone here seems to care.

I think that's wonderful.

Fred and I will be away a few days.

I want you to keep an eye on the farm.

Better that men are in charge.

Right, Ola?

That's good, then.

I thought I'd pay your grandmother a visit.

Do you want me to pass her a message?

Yes.

Tell her I'm fine.

Ola's really fine.

Fred!

We're leaving!

Hello, Ola.

Come join us.

Help yourself.

I thought...

I might go out somewhere tonight.

The cinema, perhaps.

Can me and Axel come?

Please, Mama.

I'm not sure I can.

Please, please.

All right.

How will we get there?

I thought...

Herr Krause might take us.

Why would Herr Krause bother to do that?

Maybe to show his gratitude for our hospitality.

But what will people say, Mama?

Do we care what people say?

Okay?

The cinema is in Flornes.

So from here, I reckon it can't be more than six hours to the Swedish border.

My mama told me there's a safe house there.

I saw the Germans' map.

If your Pa pays Mrs. Jensen a visit, I need to be gone before he gets back.

Can't you just get the train?

I don't have any papers, you dummy.

And you know what I am.

Can I come with you?

What do you mean?

I want to come with you.

You want to help me?

Yes.

Yes.

You can come with me.

What more do we need?

Once happy and once sad.

Two is half as hard.

I am young and you are young.

And the world is in front of us.

You can achieve anything if you stick together.

I see the world since today in pinkish red light.

All people have a happy face.

All things look colorful and enchanting.

Two little golden rings and already happiness is in the house.

I am young and you are young.

We have to go.

It's fantastic.

We have to go now.

Later.

Axel, no, now.

Let's go.

Are you ready, Ola?

Ola, let's go.

The car is waiting.

Was it nice?

The movie?

You were right.

The cinema is amazing.

Thank you.

I love the dancers.

What's wrong?

I'm sorry.

What else do you want me to say?

Being sorry doesn't solve anything.

We had a plan but now we're stuck here.

You idiot.

Stop, please.

Why are you doing this?

What's going on?

What's going on here?

What are you doing?

Please just let me go.

Please.

You're a girl.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Just let me go, please.

Why are you hiding?

Because I'm a Jew.

Does Axel know?

And he's been helping you?

Don't hate him.

Hate him?

No.

Go to your room.

Don't tell anyone.

Please.

Go back to your room.

You can't.

Just let me go.

I won't tell anyone about you and Herman, please.

You can't go.

My husband will get suspicious.

Please.

Go back to your room.

I didn't think I'd find you here, Herr Krause.

Yeah.

Kind of like it up here.

Come on.

Good, good.

Fourth.

Help Fred with the suitcases.

Ola!

I need to talk to you.

How was your trip?

I was nominated.

That's wonderful.

I met Mrs. Jensen.

Well...

Don't you want to know what she had to say?

She was happy to hear that you were doing well.

And she kept asking when you'd be coming back.

Did you tell her?

I told her I need you here.

I brought you something.

Open it.

Well?

What do you have to say?

Mr. Talco, that's too kind.

Well, try it on.

I...

I mean it.

I'd like to save it for a special occasion.

There'll be plenty of those.

One to scatter, two to kill.

Lucky shot, Krause.

When I aim at something, I very rarely miss.

Nice shot.

Thank you.

It's cold.

I love this country.

Let's see what you made of it.

Come on, boy.

Oh!

Oh!

Never point a loaded gun.

Unless you mean to kill.

Here, I'll show you.

Up on the shoulder.

Foot forward.

That's it.

There.

Ready?

Whoa!

Yeah!

Well done, Ola.

Lucky shot, boy.

Papa, can I try?

It takes two strong hands, son.

Go get the winnings.

Another one.

Let's go for it.

Everyone has a limp now and then.

It's one thing to have a limp.

It's another to be ugly.

You are not ugly.

Do it again.

Turn up and straighten your arm a little bit.

Try.

It's good.

What does it mean?

It means...

a lot.

What did you do?

Oh, I didn't do anything.

Ola has been looking after him.

Are Ola's an animal charmer too?

Axel helped.

I brought him food and kept him warm.

Turned out good, didn't it, Pa?

He's a fine animal.

We knew she was right.

It was egg and milk that did it.

No!

No!

You're not crying, are you?

No.

Here.

This is for you.

You see?

Good things often come from ugliness.

Thank you, Mr. Dergo.

Listen, don't forget to put your blinds down at night.

The Germans fear the British planes will see the light.

They might have brought their bombs on us.

Well, try it, Ola.

Do you like it?

Do you like it here, Ola?

I can only imagine it can get lonely sometimes.

Away from the family.

It's fine.

Mr. Dergo?

Are you all right?

It'll be Christmas soon.

What's wrong?

Are you ill?

I'm not pretending anymore.

We have to.

When I was Axel's age, I was given the privilege of cutting the Christmas tree.

That's no small honor.

My father's axe and his father's before him were man to man.

I think you can handle it, Ola.

Now go find a tree worthy of our traditions.

I'm so sorry, Axel.

But you know what this means, don't you?

Axel?

I'm going to prove my father wrong.

What if we just kept going?

It's all right.

I'll get you.

You're gonna be all right.

Okay.

What happened?

He cut himself.

What happened?

He cut himself.

Why the hell did you give him the axe?

Shut up, Fred.

Help me out.

We need to get him to the doctor.

Anna!

This is why you can't be trusted with anything.

My brave soldier.

Just you left now, Ola.

Maybe you could give him a quick physical while you're here.

Absolutely.

Take off your sweater.

Let him have a look at you.

But don't be afraid.

The doctor won't hurt you.

The good doctor should be allowed to take his leave.

It's getting late.

All right.

Let's go.

Johan.

Kraus.

We caught a smuggler near the border.

And we have to question him immediately.

Do you have a place?

Who is he?

A man from Trondheim.

He helped us in the past.

But now we know he played both sides.

He took me in for quite a while.

All right.

Yes.

I have a place.

This way.

Ola.

Come along.

Come down to the sauna.

Move.

Move.

Not down here.

Come on, Ola.

So now you're going to tell me everything you need from the start.

Do you hear me?

Do you hear me?

Hey!

Do you hear me?

Hey!

Don't fade away.

Don't fade away.

Stay with me.

Reichmann on the radio.

Oh, shit.

This guy is fading away.

Keep him awake.

I'll be back in a sec.

Ola.

Your turn, Ola.

Here I go.

Come on.

Imagine he's one of the British who killed your parents.

Come on, boy.

Show us what man you are.

Come on!

Just pretend.

What were you doing?

What were you in school?

Idiot, you break the window!

Come down, then.

Stand up.

Let me look at you.

Yes.

Great.

It's a very important day in this election.

Everything has to be perfect.

Of course.

You know, it

hasn't been easy here.

The last years, this election is vital for the fate of my farm and you.

One day all this can be yours.

You're the only one who understands me, Ola.

Only you.

I was very poor when I was a kid, like you.

Very poor.

Look, Bar.

It hurts like fire, but I don't care.

I'm going up.

Good son.

Idleness will get you in the end.

Listen, boy.

We're gonna have visitors today from Lena's party.

I think it might be better if you stay in your room.

It's for your own good, son.

I understand, Papa.

Good.

Excellent.

Maybe after this election I'll teach you how to fire that rifle.

Welcome

to Ladogaard farm.

An honor.

Wonderful.

Is this your son, Mr. Dalgaard?

Uh, no.

It's not my blood.

It's a proud member of the youth herd.

Ola.

Do you believe in the cause?

Highland said.

Oh.

The Fuhrer has a big dream for the future.

He will build a new capital near Trondheim, the Northern Star.

Go get a Reichsmusik.

So, my brother has prepared a very nice glock.

Please, make yourself at home.

Anna.

A word?

You think I'm a fool, Anna?

Shut up!

One has to be drunk or mad to be with a woman like you.

You disgust me, Nina.

Disgust me.

Mrs. Dalgaard?

Leave me alone.

Wait.

Come here.

I have to serve dinner.

Looking like this.

I didn't think of that.

Maybe I can help you.

I'm good with makeup.

You look so beautiful.

Maybe you can make me some.

What's your real name?

Esther.

Esther Apperson.

We should go downstairs.

Would you do this up for me?

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Herman gave it to me.

Ola!

Ola, look at you.

All dressed up.

My poor brother's little Nazi savior.

Oh, drinking makes a man.

Ola.

What makes you drunk makes you bald.

Right, Fred?

You're a strange boy.

Cheers.

One more.

Come on.

Come on, Ola.

One day...

all of this will be mine.

All of it.

Don't think that you can come here and take that away from me.

This place?

You're welcome to it.

So, a toast to another year of Norwegian pride and to our proud German soldiers,

who so bravely are fighting the Bolsheviks on the Eastern Front.

Skål!

Skål!

Heil Josef!

Heil Josef!

Heil Hitler!

My wife will now serve the main course.

Please, help yourself.

The war has been good for you, Johan.

It was a pig that didn't want to celebrate Christmas.

Must have been a Jew!

What are you doing, Anna?

Make sure Herr Krause is well fed, Anna.

I'm happy the Germans and the Norwegians are getting on so well on the farm.

This is a very special place.

We try our best, Herr Krause.

It is.

Guten Appetit!

So...

So, Johan...

Let's turn to the real business here.

We would like you to be the new NS district chief, of course.

Before you speak, Johan, about case 4303.

Commandeering of farms for German personnel.

Do you object to your farm being commandeered?

Commandeered?

Wait, we already host troops now.

But there are many more troops to come.

It was my understanding that everyone around

here is a hundred percent collaborative.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Let's agree then.

Come on!

Come on, say a few celebratory words.

Come on.

It's...

I'm leaving tonight.

With Hermann.

And I'm taking Axel with me.

You can't.

Why?

Because he's worse than Mr. Delgort.

This belonged to my mother.

What?

What's the matter with you?

Friend?

Where are you?

I'm coming!

Axel?

Where are you?

What are you doing up here?

We have to leave tonight when they're asleep.

Are you coming with me or not?

You don't need me.

Yes, I do.

I can hardly walk.

Get the horse ready.

We're going on the sledge.

You were meant to help me with Papa.

But you replaced me.

No, it's not... Yes, it is!

It's not safe for you here anymore.

Your mama and her cows are running away together tonight.

What?

So everyone is leaving me?

Shh.

No.

Stop it.

Stop it.

Stop it.

What about America?

Stop it.

Stop it.

Please.

What about America?

And Papa?

I need you.

I need you.

I need you.

I need you.

You!

Who are you?

You're a hun.

What's going on?

Well, if it isn't a happy couple.

You're a hun.

You're drunk.

Put the gun down.

Listen to your wife.

Put the gun down.

Let's go inside.

Let's go.

Shut up!

No.

You don't tell me what to do.

This is my farm.

Papa.

Papa.

What is your friend doing in there?

Maxel, don't.

Go on.

Meet me like a man.

Papa.

Shut up, son.

Not now.

Johan.

We're allies, alright?

Go on.

Shoot them then!

Shoot them.

Shut up, Fred.

Go away Fritz.

You and your little whore.

Shut up, Fred!

I can only see what's going on here.

Go away.

They've been to each other.

Shut up, Fritz.

All the time you were in Trondheim trying to make something

out of you, they were being with each other, that little whore!

Go away, I'll put one in you!

Don't!

You're such a... No!

No!

Is that Al Gore?

No!

Come on!

More water!

More water!

Do we have to cross the lake?

It's the only way left.

Is it safe?

We'll find out.

The

love of everything else seems to be a waste of time.

No.

He's not here anymore.

Thank you, Mrs. Henny.

Thank you, Esther.

See you next month?

Yes, indeed.

Disgusting.

Come in.

I hoped I'd find you here.

Nazi slut!

Wait.

Come in.

Your father would be horrified.

Yes, he would.

Please leave.

And don't come back.

I'm sorry.

Come.

I'm sorry.

And, still, really, I'm sorry.

Thanks.

No trouble.

You don't need to ask.

But you don't have to!

So, where are we going to?

I can't return this momentyод time... to you, Emily.
