The School of Bast�y existed from 1900 until 1953

It was a school for mis-fitted young boys

This film is based on true events.

I once saw a whale swim
with three harpoons in it.

It took an entire day to die.

We found the whale again, and proceeded to
come closer; closer than we had ever come before.

He was weaker due to the harpoon
I shot him with, -

- covered with scars
from all the battles he had fought.

It is not as strict as they say it is.

They have Sundays free.

Shut up.

Norway 1915.

THE KING OF DEVIL'S ISLAND

They will enter cell C.
That is your responsibility, until you leave.

-What is it now, three weeks?
-Yes, Bestyrer.

Ensure that they learn.

No tobacco, No alcohol,
No civilian clothes,

No games, cards, or dice.

No discussion during work.

No obscene behaviour. No personal belongings.

What is this?
Private asset?

Address me as House-Father Br�then.
C5, C19, These are your numbers.

Take off your clothes,
fold them, and place here.

You will receive new clothes
down below in the barracks.

One thing.

I observe everything.
I see everything. I hear everything.

And I write everything down in my book.
Is that understood?

Sit on your hands.

Stand straight.

Take down your hands.

What happened to your face?

Police.

It could have been a lot worse
if you had been in prison.

Hence why I ensured that you
made your way here.

Since you're a sailor
you know how important discipline is.

You're part of the crew with one common goal.

Yes.

Yes, Mr. Bestyrer.

Yes, bestyrer.

Yes, Mr. Bestyrer.

Yes, Mr. Bestyrer.

I am your captain,
and this island is my vessel.

The House-Parents are my mates,
the boy C1 , Olav Fossen, -

- he is one of you.

However, he is your leader.

Our goal, and your goal, is to find

the honourable, humble, useful, Christian boy inside you.

And we're going to shape and polish him.
If we do not find him...

you'll remain here.

Do you understand?

Yes, Mr. Bestyrer.

At this island, we don't speak about
what anyone has done, or participated in.

There is no past nor future.
There is only the present.

If the whole world crumbles under the waves,

it has nothing to do with us.
Isn't that true, C-1 9?

Yes, Mr. Bestyrer.

Learn the rules and follow them,
so we see that you get what you need.

Br�then.

Br�then!

Cabin coordinator C1 will perhaps leave us soon,
and his space will soon be available.

What an ambitious and dedicated young man.

You can go now.

Is that him?

I don't like the idea of having
someone like him here.

This place is about to disintegrate.

- I can no longer be here.
-Stop.

C-1 to 6 will clear the northern field.
C-8 to 12 will shovel fertilizer with Bjarne.

Hey! Anyone who complains,
will receive the same job tomorrow.

New-boy, C-19, you have outhouse duties.

Is there anyone here who will volunteer
to show 19 how this will be done?

I'll show him.

We call it America,
because the House-Parents don't come down here.

This is where we live in peace.

You'll get used to it.

I'm not going to be here very long.

C-5, come with me.
We need a man in laundry.

There was someone who tried once.

However, it hasn't happened
since I've been here.

It's too far across.

- When did you come here?
- Six years ago.

You must love it here.

Is it true that you killed someone?

I thought we didn't talk about
what we've done before.

The boathouse is closed.
You can't get in there.

The only way out from the island
is the manager's signature

- And you're getting it?
- Yeah, I get it when the committee comes.

You're like the Captain's cabin boy.

Arni, come.
Arni!

Put up your hand.

Hold it still!

He hasn't learned the rules yet.
But he wants to, right?

Yes, bestyrer.

He wants to get away from here,
and he will...

when he's earned it.

Yes, bestyrer.

Is that your mom?

Lights out.

I can't find it.
I can't find it.

My clock.
House-Father!

Be quiet.
Go to bed now.

I can't find it.

Help me.

Get up!

Down, down, down!

Let... Let me go.

Hand's down.
Hand's down.

C-5.

Thanks, House-Father.

Be quiet!

I see everything.

I hear everything.

Up!

"Thus began my life now
what which was just comfortable."

"So that I occasionally,
say to myself -

- that I could just be safe
from multiple visits by the savages, -

- so it would not bother me if I
moved from the place where I lived."

C-19.

C-19.

"I was certainly out of order
to kill a kid of my flock."

"Carry it home and make it right."

"But along the way, I saw a goat's
shadow with two young kids with him"

Want me to read them for you?

C-5?

Congratulations.

The manager decided that you'll
sing for the committee.

That means we must practice.

Who is Elsa?

Just read.

"Dear Erling.
I'm frightened when I look beyond the ocean"

- and think that you're out there."

"I miss you terribly now."

Keep reading.

"I'm trying to remember you.
How you laughed when you were last here."

"When you didn't even know what
a harpoon was."

Harpooner. The man who stands
in front of the boat and shoots it.

Was that you?

Just continue.

"I thought I saw you the other day.
I see you everywhere."

"I hope you come back before Christmas.
Like you promised."

Long before Christmas.

Haven't you told her where you are?

-I think there is more.
-Read it then.

If you're going to be here,
you must learn to behave yourself.

Are you going to teach me that?

What have they done to you?

Stand still.

Everything okay, C-5?

The ear.

It doesn't look like we're
going to get rid of your smell.

That's how it is when you're born
out of your mothers ass.

Liquor?
Is that liquor I smell?

Section C.

We're going to continue
this inspection every day,

until there is peace in barracks C.

Is it funny? Then we will
find something funny for you.

C-19.

Stand straight!

Stand straight!

Yes.

This is quite meaningless,
huh?

Just like your behaviour this morning.

I'm sorry, Mr. Bestyrer.

No, you're not.

It's just that I don't
belong here, manager.

Yes, you do, you see.
You belong here.

You can put down the stone.

Now take these stones, and place them
back in a pile where they belong.

So you think your strong do you?

We will see.

"Dear Erling,
I'm frightened when I look beyond the ocean"

- and think that you're out there."

"I miss you..."

Erling, let him go!

S�ravdelingen.

Forestry..
Half rations.

Your mother lives in Horten, right?

I thought maybe
she could invite me over.

To dinner, for example.
Maybe six or seven days?

Stop turning the saw, you idiot.
You'll break the blade.

That is isolation.

Ow, shit!

The last boy who was
put in isolation...

he hit his head against the wall
so he couldn't talk anymore.

-Have you never tried to run away?
-Yea. One time.

I jumped on the mail boat,
but I was only eleven.

What'd you do when you were eleven,
in order to come here?

I stole from a church.

Help me to write a letter.
A story.

To whom?

Somebody.

About what?

A story of the sea.
Sailors on a ship. With me on board.

Did you see the whale?

I saw a whale swim
with three harpoons in it.

It took an entire day to die.

What should I be then?

Deck boy.

And I will be the harpooner.

You shouldn't eat that.

You'll get sick.

Bestyrer.
We've learned.

And what have we learned?

That we're all on the same ship,
Mr. Bestyrer.

Give me your rabbit, Aksel.
I'm hungry, I need more food.

Stay away!

-I just want to pet him.
-Stay away.

I'm just going to pet him.

It's a her, not a him!

C-9 and C-19
requesting permission to use the outhouse.

C-19 is a problem.
We should be harder.

They should punish him more,
and keep him separate.

Discipline without compassion
is heartless, we've talked about this.

We are role models for these boys,
we must not be heartless.

Bestyrer.

Now I speak not only for myself,
I have really nothing to complain about.

I have been here for 9 years.

I haven't asked for a penny
more in pay, but ...

The parliament church and
School Committee sets the salary.

You have to talk to them.

I know that, but ...

To be a house-father is important,
but it is no lifetime job.

An ambitious man would have left a long time ago.

Good Night.

Br�then?

Br�then, you're doing a great job.
Good night.

We need help to bring in the wheat.

You're doing the laundry.

Please, let me help you
in the field. Please.

-Can you handle a pitchfork?
-Yes.

Come on!

Come on!

Where did you hide the saw blade?

They won't find it.

Promise me that you won�t escape before
I leave?

Yes.

It's not long from now.

Hey, what are you looking at...?

Bast�y Boy.

Here you are.

C-5?

C-5?

Let me see your hand.
Come here.

They're wrapping it together.

What is it?

Turn on the lights!

Get help! Hurry!

Come on.
Come on, we gotta leave now.

We're leaving now.
Do you want to stay here?

Do you want to stay here?

Go back to the infirmary, Ivar.

Take me with, Erling.
Please, I'm begging you.

Go!

I want to come, I can
help you row when you're tired.

Please!

I don't want to be here anymore,
I can't do it!

Please, Erling.

Please!

Go back, Ivar.

I can't have a wussy with me..

What?
You're not in the infirmary?

Where have you been?

I have been talking to someone.

Have you been down to the beach?

Have you been with C-19?

Gossip pussy!

Br�then?

Yes, Mr. Bestyrer?

How long have you been on Bast�y?

-9 years
-9 years .. .

Has anyone managed to escape
during that time?

No.

So this boy, C-19,

has to be a kind of hero.

The first to successfully
escape Bast�y.

But he is no hero.
He is selfish, egotistical and cowardly.

He cannot look himself in the face
and stand for what he has done, -

- so he runs away.

And leaves you all again
to take the consequences.

He risked your privileges,
which you have worked so hard to get.

And where does he run to?

What will he find
when he finally stops running?

He will find nothing.

Nothing!

For he will be caught and sent right
back here. I can promise you that.

Am I disappointed?

Yes, I'm.

I disappointed in you.

I am disappointed in C-1 ,
Olav Fossen, -

- who is responsible for barracks C.

But those who really should be disappointed, are you.

Half rations.

He did it.
He got away.

Erling escaped, for heaven�s sake!

I heard that the chef had talked
with the captain of the mail boat

He said he had found the manager's
rowboat across the mountains -

- by Rorestrand.

... with an Our Father in covenant

If you never shudder

Fight for everything you hold dear

Die as it comes!

C-5.

The hero is back.

Come on, let's work.

C-1 will read this,
and then carry out the punishment.

Read.

"Penalties for serious offenses
such as escape attempt, theft -

- Or repeated use of tobacco, -

- Shall receive 12 strokes to
the back or until the blood seeps."

Hands on the table!

Yes, between the lines.

Do it!

C-1 , do it properly!

Where are you going now?
Managers galley boy.

Don't blame me that you
broke the rules.

Was it easier for you to read me the
rules, than to tell the manager -

- what Br�then does with Ivar
in the laundry room?

- Or are the rules like that too?

You promised me, you devil!

Or do you dare not say anything, now that
you are about to get your signature?

What is going on?
What are you doing here?

-House-Father . ..
-Be quiet!

You are so close to being released, -

- and you come running in here
without permission.

Have you lost your mind?

I saw C-5 and ...

.. . and ...

... House-Father Br�then in ...

Br�then?
What is he doing?

He puts C-5 in pain.

Pain?

Well, speak up!

House-Father Br�then -

- and C-5 .. .

I saw them in the laundry cellar.

What are you trying to say?
What are these hideous fantasies?

It's not allowed!
What he does with Ivar in the laundry cellar.

Get out!
Go!

Ivar! I want you and I to
go to the manager right now.

Do you not see that I'm working?

If we go together,
he will believe us.

Then I'll never go home.

C-5.

Bestyrer.

Stand straight.

I am just wondering -

- if your hand is better?

Yea, it's a little better.

Thanks, manager.

Good.
Then everything is okay.

Excellent.

Nothing to complain about.

But there are no other problems?

No.

No, because I thought you should maybe ...

I believe it will be better for you,
if you work in the forest -

- with your friends.

Thanks, manager.

Yea, I believe that
the forest will better suit you.

Yes, manager.

Great, then!
Good.

You owe me money.

What money?

Br�then and I
are having a bet.

If you are back in
laundry in the morning.

Go and help Bjarne with the fire.

What are you doing with Ivar's clock?

He gave it to me.

Get back!

Get the nurse now.
Right away!

Run!

Get them to the sleeping hall.

To the sleeping hall.

Go to the sleeping hall!

It is absolutely terrible
what has happened.

We suffer from everything that has happened
with the poor boy.

I understand that you feel guilty.

But I have to admit that he didn't
have it so easy before he came here.

And it was no less turbulent here.

He was not as strong.

He was one of those who did not fit
amongst other people.

And maybe it was God's will
that he finally let go.

We tried to help him,
and find easy work for him.

But -

- he tried to swim away from here, -

- a desperate act
that could only end in disaster.

And we all know
where he got the idea from to flee.

Escape is just -

- a childish fantasy.

But he is in peace now.

He is in God's place.

Sit down.

C-19, sit down!

Send C-19 to my room.

Are you looking to go to prison?

If you can't decide,
then you don't understand what a prison is.

He didn't try to escape.
He drowned himself.

What's the difference? He's gone.
Forget him!

And help the others to forget him also.

You've seen little of the world and you think
you understand. But you don't.

No, manager,
there is a lot I don't understand.

Bast�y or prison. The choice is yours.
Get him out.

Why have you been here so long,
Br�then?

They talk.

There are rumours that I don't even
want to speak about. Accusations.

You can't listen to them,
They say whatever they want.

A child has died.

And you have been accused of actions
which are so horrible .. .

The only thing I have done -

- is to try to help a boy
who could not help himself.

C-5 was not scared of me.

It was these animals he lived with
in barracks C.

I can't have a house-father who is suspected
of such a thing as this.

It's disgusting.

Bestyrer.

Please .. .

You are accused of fornication with a child.
Do you understand what that means?

Is there much truth there, -

- shall I see that you rot away in
a prison for the rest of your life.

I understand how difficult
a man of your position must have it.

With a young wife here.

And all the responsibility.

And all these options to take.

And the funds that would get the boys
and the island destroyed for good.

The funds you've used up
to make your life a little easier.

I know that.

But others could maybe misunderstand it.

Now you're leaving!
You bastard!

Leave, you bastard!

Now it's too late.

What are you going to say when the committee comes?
When they begin to ask questions.

They will certainly
question and dig.

You have to tell them the truth.

You don't give up, Astrid.
You don't give up.

- Are you Erling Kaspersen?
- I am C-19, m'am.

Have you learned anything here?

- Yes, m'am, I have learned many things.
- Could you tell me what kind of things?

I learned that I would rather
be here than in prison.

And why is that?

Don't you see
what great good we get, m'am?

The boys,
are they always so quiet at the table?

No.

You see them now as they will be seen.
Clean and neat.

Especially the boys
who may be out in society.

For them, this is of great importance.

The boy that died recently.
It must have made an impression on them?

I'm the first to recognize that
it isn't easy being a Bast�y Boy.

It's a brutal environment.

We do what we can.
We help and we support them.

But one cannot be everywhere all the time.

And children could be very bad.

The boy who tried to escape
turned out to be a chop chicken.

He was not strong enough
to take care of himself.

Yea, it is tragic.

"If we confess our sins,
He is faithful and just."

"So, he forgives us our sins
and cleanses us from all unrighteousness."

"What hurts is when it is. .."

"If we confess our sins,
He is faithful and just."

Nervous?

"So, he forgives us our sins
and cleanses us from all unrighteousness."

Good.
Congratulations.

Do you have something you want to say to us?

You need not be afraid.
It is only just to speak out.

Yes, I want -

- to say something to Mr. Bestyrer.

I will never forget
all he has done.

I want to say something.

There is a boy here who died on this island.

I understand manager -

- that you were not directly involved
in harassing this kid.

But, I'm speaking as a leader of Hall C,
you had a responsibility.

Do you understand that?

Those were wise words, Fossen.

You could have taken
better care of that boy.

Yes, bestyrer.

When do you leave?

In one week.

What is it with you?

You're going out in the world now.

You can do what you want.
Get yourself a wife.

Do you know what the committee said?
Do you know what the manager said about us?

Doesn't matter what they said.

Bast�y is only a small stone in the water.

You can be what you want.

You can be a priest,
you are so smart in reading rules.

- Goodbye.
- Goodbye.

"We sailed for several weeks
before we saw him again."

"Our food ran out."

"And �ystein, the chef, was not
so much to brag about in the beginning."

"Should have seen how thin I've become.
I can't eat any more fish."

"But we found the whale again,
and we came right on top of it."

"Closer than we had before."

"He was weaker due to the harpoon
I shot him with."

"At close range, he was great -
25 meters long at least."

"And covered with scars
from all the battles he had fought."

"He had already killed
the new deck boy."

"The Captain has a high opinion of himself."

"But deep inside he is a damned coward."

"The rest of the crew are afraid of him."

"I have become acquainted with one boy
who is soon to sign off."

"For six years he has worked on the ship,
He has done everything right. "

"Now he is going home."

Forgive us our debts,
as we have forgiven our debtors.

Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,
and power and the glory forever. Amen

Sit down.

Sit down!

We shall now take leave of two friends.
Two good friends.

By tomorrow they will be out in
the world meeting -

- new sorrows, new joys, new lessons.

Aksel Johnsen.

God bless you. And may you
take care of the opportunities he gives you.

Olav Fossen.

Go!

Olav Fossen.

Go.

Go while you can.

C-1?

Do you have any more wise words that
you want me to take with me?

Behave yourself, now.

See you around.

We never finished the story.

Maybe I will see you again.
On a ship somewhere.

I hear you guys are leaving

Good luck.

Good luck.

C-1 , towel.

Did the manager know that
Br�then is back?

Of course he did. He had been inland
to shop for the manager.

It's that simple.

If only you had done
that you were asked, -

- had it not been a problem.
Everything had been fine.

You damned liar!

Do you remember when you first came here?

A little brat -

- who was so afraid that he shit on himself
and peed in his pants. Every day.

Worthless.

Just like the whore
of a mother you had.

And your petty criminal father.

You were nothing.

For six years I have struggled with you.

And all that is of value to you, -

- I created.

Bjarne!

You must help us.

You're one of us.

Bjarne?

Bjarne, you are one of us!

�ystein, eat your food.

Come on, �ystein, you must eat.

Are you sleeping?

Do it.
Or freeze up.

There was just blood everywhere.

He swallowed them down until he died.

Harpoon shooter, cook, and cabin boy.

Everything, swallowed by the whale.

And everything went back to the way it used to be.

The Captain was Admiral.

And could command a crap bowl.
And sailed to America.

And the crew was on deck
and had their own number.

Lined with mackerel and herring.

Olav!

Take his key!

Help!

Help!

Runaway!

Olav!

Olav!

Olav!

Runaway!

Stop!
Enough!

-Get up.
-Enough.

Get up!

Back to your places.

Back to your places!

Back!

Come on!

Don't do anything dumb now, boys.

What are you looking at?
Fucking Bast�y Boy.

Get up on the chair.

The manager is coming!

Let him through.

You do not belong here, either.

Goodbye, manager!

Let him go!

He said we should let him burn.

Get out!

Get out!

C-19.

Are you going to kill me now?

So?

Can I get your signature?

Lieutenant?

I have to talk to someone higher up.

I want -

- to speak to the King of Norway.

Tell him that it is ...

That is it the King of Bast�y.

They're coming back!

And there are many of them.

Do you understand what I am saying, Olav?

Take the paddles.

Come on!

Come on!

They�re coming.

It came over from the mainland.

- I can't do this anymore
- The sea is frozen over.

I can't stand it.

We can cross over!

I can't go on it.

Stop!

Stop!

Come on!

The letters were to my sister.

Let me go.
Let me go ...

Olav.

Olav.

Olav.

Olav?
We are approaching Christiania.

Bast�y port.

I once saw a whale swim
with three harpoons in it.

It took the entire day to die.

He was weaker due to the harpoon
I shot him with

And covered with scars
from all the battles he had fought.

I have become acquainted with one boy
who is soon to sign off.

For the six years he has been on the ship,
He has done everything right.

And now, he is going home.
