I'm in a dancing mood, a gay romancing mood,

whenever I'm with you.

The music seems brighter, my troubles are lighter too

when I'm with you ...

-Olav? -Yes?

Was it nice? You ...

No, wear it.

Hello, cowboy.

-You're nice in that hat. -Do you think?

The tie knots should be wide here.

-Why? -Everything is big in America.

I've noticed that.

We'll have time again.

Now?

Hello, cowgirl.

(It knocks.)

Your Highnesses, we're here right away!

Yes, thank you!

We do not care about that.

(Laughter)

Oh my God ...

Are we there?

Perfect. Yeah right ...

Again.

(They play "Yes, We Love".)

Yes!

After you.

Hurray!

- Your Highness, a picture? -Here!

-Prince Olav, what do you think of America? -It is fantastic.

Everyone is so nice. A beautiful country.

Princess Märtha, What do you like best about America?

My husband.

Oh God.

-So embarrassing. -It is wonderful!

"My husband."

I wish my wife had said the same thing.

It is allowed to wish.

This is a good one. Cowboyer.

No wonder you have become so popular. America's new pet.

Just like Eleanor and me.

Your Highness, what do you think about the chance of war in Europe?

I do not quite know ...

It looks like Hitler will not wage war against the West, -

- but Poland is another matter.

-Is an invasion imminent? -Eleanor, leave him alone. They are on vacation.

Sorry, I have to see what is fermenting in the kitchen.

I hope it's food!

Besides, I've heard Franklin's jokes a few times before.

Poor Eleanor. A radiant head. Good at everything.

Apart from relaxing.

Grandpa, we've lost the ball!

-But get it, then! -It's in the water!

-Jones! -I'm doing it.

-So kind. -I can take a bath.

-So nice of him. -Yes.

"My husband".

-So you had a nice trip? -Oh yes. I'm in love with America.

And America has fallen in love with you.

Tensions have risen since the Allies declared war on the Nazis.

It's not a question anymore about whether there will be fights, -

- but about who attacks first, and where the battle should stand.

After the invasion of Poland ...

Why are you sitting here in the dark? Aren't you going to have dinner?

-Hitler. -At least he's not invited.

It looks like he's going north.

-Norway? -Yes. Or Denmark.

-Or both. -But they are neutral.

- Tell Hitler. - Can he afford another front line?

He can not help it. The one who has Norway, has steel, which Germany needs.

-When can this happen? -Anytime.

Soon.

Poor people.

I hope they are prepared.

Astrid!

Has the Crown Princess looked at Women's Work Assistance?

Yes, put it on my calendar.

(They hear banking.)

Then there is the press.

-Find an excuse ... -To politely say no?

Yes. What's there?

-Yes, try the curtain now. -Ta imot, da.

-What are you doing? -We install the blackout curtains.

-I did not order blackout curtains. -I do not know ...

It was me. Just keep going, you guys.

Thank you, Your Highness.

-Blind curtains? -Yes.

It has been observed German warplanes over Norway.

-They are not on their way here, are they? -The government does not believe that.

But the English want to lay mines in Norwegian waters to stop the Germans.

Can you be the bear?

Not right now, Harald.

-Tender! Ragnhild put snow in my neck! -You did it first! Tender!

Tender? You bleed nosebleeds again.

Oh yes. Put on dry clothes now. You too, Harald.

Come on, girls.

-Here. -Thanks.

-They can go for the day. - Are you sure?

Yes.

Everyone is wondering what happens to the war.

So far it is the small neutral nations -

- which takes the brunt for German evil and cruelty.

Especially the Norwegians their ships destroyed -

- when detected on the high seas.

Mom, look fly!

Everyone is wondering who will be the next victim.

They are German!

Everyone hopes the storm calms down before it's their turn to be consumed.

But I fear that the storm does not subside.

It goes south, it goes north, it's going to rage and roar, -

- ever stronger, ever greater.

It will not give up right away, unless we stand together.

Grandpa!

Oh, my little girls! So good to see you.

And there is mother and little Hajan.

Hey, honey.

Come on.

-Are everyone supplied? -Yes thank you.

-Delicious trout. Thank you. -Your Majesty.

Did you hear Churchill's speech? on the BBC on Saturday?

If all neutral states had stood together, there would have been no war.

It is a shame that the government is so passive. They do not stand up to Hitler ...

Do not worry about it. Adult talk. Right?

Yes, of course. We have no idea what we're talking about.

Just the kind of nonsense that is in the newspaper. War blah-blah-blah, war blah-blah.

Well, I hope not we'll have ice cream for dessert.

-Yes. -But the children do not like it!

-Yes, we do! -Do you? Not you, Hajan?

Yes!

Yes yes, then I get to eat it too, if I'm forced to.

Ragnhild, brush your teeth.

Somewhere over the rainbow

skies are blue,

and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.

Somewhere over the rainbow ...

Should I take mom?

-No no no. -Just a little close.

Please do not do that.

Yes, it's a phone call to the Crown Prince. It is certainly important.

Thanks. Yes, hello?

At school the miss said that I got very good on the test ...

-What is it? -The Germans have bomb ...

-What? - We'll take it later. Nothing.

It was nothing.

Harald. Up by the water.

Do not do it there.

Stop it.

Harald!

Good night.

Good night.

What is it?

- Are the Germans coming here? -No. They're not coming here.

Norway is neutral.

This means that no one, absolutely no one, is allowed to attack us.

-Are you sure? -Yes. Not even the Germans.

Do you really think Hitler lets us? be at peace because we are neutral?

-My dear ... -But do you think so?

You never have attacked a neutral country before.

The Germans give a damn about such rules. They have attacked "Mira", a passenger ship.

Oh my God.

-How many? - Luckily they got away.

You understand the seriousness of this, right? And the government is doing nothing!

- Does not send out mobilization order ... -Dear, dear ...

Calm down a little, dear.

Now ...

... I'm letting this lie.

Just for a few hours.

Yes.

-Good evening. - Your Highness.

Their Highness.

-Their Royal Highness. - Mr Prime Minister.

-Good evening. - Your Highness.

Now it was good you came. Hambro is in the third glass ...

How will Norway respond the attack on "Mira"? We have to react.

It went well. They arrived safely in port.

More than a hundred civilians could have perished.

I suggest we expel German ships from Norwegian waters.

Not only the Germans are violating our sovereignty. The English ...

-They have never attacked Norwegian ships! -Nutrality is protecting our freedom against all.

The Germans have sunk 54 Norwegian merchant ships, -

- Norwegian seafarers have lost their lives, and you want to talk about neutrality?

Now we have the chance to make a counterattack against the Germans.

Give them a pretext to declare war? No.

The only thing we can do, is to protest.

You can excuse me, but I have to prepare the report to the Storting.

Excuse me.

Madam Ambassador.

Their Highness.

I have to ask: Have you received information from US intelligence?

Regarding a German invasion.

Olav fears it, but the government is more concerned about a British invasion.

Believe me, Your Highness, I sincerely hope that Norway avoids war.

If you know anything ... Anything.

Well, in wartime, steel more valuable than gold.

And as long as most of Germany's iron must pass through Norway, -

- then there is a danger of an invasion.

Please, Madam Ambassador, is it imminent?

Be prepared for the worst.

Hello mother.

-Where are you going? -On emergency preparedness exercise.

-Now? -They just called from the Red Cross.

-I think you should stay home. -It's going well, mother, it's just an exercise.

I also want to join.

You can join when you grow up.

-Good bye. -Good bye.

Promise that if something happens, then you come straight home.

Good bye.

It is unfair.

Come on, let's brush our teeth.

German troops have taken up positions near the Danish border at Jutland.

We have no more information about this development.

It has not been possible to get a comment from the Danish authorities.

It is confirmed that German naval forces has passed through the Great Belt.

And there have been reports of torpedoes- ring of German ships off the Norwegian coast.

Getting to know how the boats were sunk is difficult, as the Germans do not want to comment.

They come.

Å ...

Märtha, the English are coming never to accept that Hitler takes over Norway.

-They are ready to help us. -Yes.

Märtha ...

- There is no room ... -Märtha, come on.

Sit down.

Look here.

Now we go up to the cabin.

Now we go to Sikkilsdalen.

Then we light the fireplace -

- and puts the children.

Then you lie low there until all this is over.

-Just a few days. -Then what are you going to do?

I can not stand and watch that others risk their lives.

-But you're a crown prince. Heir to the throne! -I'm military, Märtha.

It is primarily symbolic.

I do not want to be a galleon figure.

I want to protect my country.

-It's over in a few days. -And who will protect us?

-I have to make sure you are safe. -Promise me that.

That no matter what happens, then we stick together.

Promise me that.

(Flyalarm.)

-What should I do ... -Märtha, take the children away and take them out.

-Yes. -I'm arranging the rest.

Now you have to wake up, girls!

Now you have to wake up.

-What's up? - We're going to the cabin.

-So early? -Yes. Get dressed.

Ragnhild! Now you have to sit up.

Astrid.

Olav!

Clear?

(Flyalarm.)

The Crown Prince called. Royal families, the government and the Storting will be evacuated.

-Should I join? -Yes, just in case.

-We pick up Ulla and Rolf on the way. - We will not be able to do that.

-We can not leave the children to themselves! -I'm leaving money for the bus.

-Buses? -We can pick them up at Hamar.

-Tender? -Come on, Einar, and we'll get you dressed.

Mom, where are we going?

-Why do we have to leave so early? -So we arrive early. Eat, now.

-Everything ready? - The luggage is in the car.

Keep Skaugum going as long as possible.

-Of course, Your Highness. -Thanks.

-I drive myself. -May God be with you.

-And with you too. -Thanks.

-Leave Vimsa, now. -I have to take care ...

Hush!

What is it?

Stay here. Stay away from the windows.

Come on.

-They were Norwegian. -Sure?

The Germans do not have such old planes.

-We must have Vimsa with us! -No, she has to stay home.

But I want Vimsa!

Girls! We have to go. Join mom. Both!

Vimsa!

Vimsa!

-Are all the suitcases included? -Everything is included.

Good. Come on.

Märtha, we do not stop for anyone.

Vimsa ...

Grandpa!

Little treasure!

-Nice sweater! Who did you get it from? -Mom.

At this moment everyone's eyes will rest on us.

So let's act with calm and dignity.

Thanks. Thank you for joining.

-But where are Ulla and Rolf? -They come after.

Good.

-My Majesty, the chariots are ready. -Thank you, Hambro.

The Germans have occupied Bergen, Trondheim and Narvik, -

- but in Oslo they were stopped by Oscarsborg.

The German ships are out at Filtvedt.

-And what is our evacuation plan? -To get us to Hamar.

-And so, then? - The Storting and the government have an emergency meeting there.

- Mr Prime Minister. -Their Royal Highnesses.

Yes, you get Excuse me, I have to ...

We hope this the state of war does not persist.

Last night it was issued general mobilization order.

Come now.

... if not England would and France have invaded us.

General mobilization order - it's insane!

They send mobilization orders by letter! By mail!

It will take days before the troops are assembled and ready!

-How are the girls? -They are sitting with Ragni.

-I sit down with them. -No!

The royal family should not sit in the same carriage in case the train becomes ...

Harald, join Nikolai to the carriage with Ragnhild and Astrid.

-Harald, join Nikolai. -No ...

-Einar is also there. -No, I want to be with mom!

(Moved.)

Germans.

-What's up? -We are in Lillestrøm.

-There will be more! -Lie down!

-But the kids ... -Down now!

- Lie down on the floor! -What's up?

It is not dangerous.

(A roar.)

We have to get out of here.

Märtha!

-Girls! - They're in here.

-Tender! -It goes well.

Get off the train! Come on! Now! All together!

Come on, girls. Harald.

- Stay here. Until mom and me. -Come on, girls. Spring!

Stay here.

Go to the wall and stand there.

Come here, my darling.

Commander.

Where is the royal family?

Answer!

No one here, Mr. Commander!

- Get them talking. -Yes, Mr. Commander.

-Come here! -Up!

They bomb the airport! Everything is on fire! House too!

-What if they move the attack here? -We have to leave.

-The train attracts attention! -We must take that chance!

We are vulnerable when we travel together. We have to divide into smaller groups.

No! We are Norway's parliament and government, to share us will be like capitulating!

Listen, Denmark has fallen.

-So fast? -Yes.

-And Sweden? - They have not been attacked yet.

(A roar.)

We have to get out of here!

-Now we stand together no matter what! -Yes!

Come now.

(Barking.)

Tender? Father?

Hello? Are you here?

- They're not here. -They have left! To Hamar.

Sign! Take Harald.

Girls, get in the car together with Signe.

Come on. See you soon.

Wait.

Wait here.

Nikolai, what about Ulla and Rolf come to Hamar and then we are not there.

-One of us must be there. -It's not certain they'll come.

-All roads from Oslo are blocked. -We do not leave our children.

Nor can we abdicate our duties.

Get in the cars! The Germans are on their way. Come on!

-Mom, I'm scared. -My girl, do not be afraid.

-Ragnhild! Get in the car! -Inside the car.

We're going to Elverum!

We have to go to Sweden.

No. Dad is determined not to leave Norway.

We can not stay here.

Olav!

My dear.

-Take good care of yourself. -You too.

See you in a few days. Right? In a few days.

And on my little girls and my little boy.

Be kind to mom, and do as she says. Help her a little.

See you soon.

See you soon. I promise.

-Grandfather! - Grandpa's girls.

Then I'm waiting on the other side of the border.

Yes, Nikolai is driving you. I will send for you when it is safe.

-Come on, girls. -Love you.

What was that?

I'll check.

What's up?

Can you help? We have punctured.

They have frozen completely, those bolts here.

Can you take me in?

(He hears someone in the woods.)

Hush. Be quiet.

Tender?

Who wants to play hide and seek?

-I will! -Down on the floor, so Nikolai does not see you!

-Come on, Ragnhild! -Down on the floor, now!

Ragnhild, now! Come here.

Hush. Lay still.

(A charging grip.)

-Where are you going? -To Sweden.

-Are the cars in the back with you? -Yes.

Guys! It's the Crown Princess!

The Germans are right down here, so fireplace on all you can, -

- then we will give you back coverage!

Thanks.

Oh, damn it.

Germans!

-Should I stop? -Continue!

Lie down. Olav, lie down.

Lie down, Olav!

Stop the car!

Pass, please.

We do not have the passports with us, but here is my Swedish driver's license.

I can not let you in without a passport.

- Do you know who this is? -Yes.

You have to let us pass. The Germans are after us.

I'm sorry.

Open the boom!

Open the boom, I said!

What do you think the King of Sweden will say -

- when he hears that his niece not let into their own country of birth?

I have my orders. You have to turn around.

Bil! Cars are coming!

Listen. We do not stop for anyone.

Lie down. Drive!

Stop!

Stop!

Thanks.

-Ragni! -Yes?

I have to go back to the Crown Prince.

-Already now? -Yes.

I help with the luggage, then I have to go.

Are you going to pick up Ulla and Rolf?

I want them to be with us.

-Watch yourself. -Yes. It goes well.

Our Fatherland experiencing a time of trial.

The war has reached our borders.

Our feelings for the Scandinavian I do not need to interpret the fraternal people.

We are deeply shaken in our souls.

(Flyalarm.)

All out! Fly!

-Thank you very much. -Thanks.

Thank you.

Away from the road! Away from the road!

-Olav! -Father?

Father!

Father!
