So, what's on your mind?

Five years ago,

Finland had to give up much of its territory

to Russia.

Mm, and you're concerned

that Stalin will do the same with Norway.

It's a legitimate concern.

The Russians liberated

the northern part of our country,

and they might feel entitled to claim ownership.

So, um,

would you talk to Stalin on our behalf

when you meet him in Yalta?

Of course.

But as for the outcome, I can't promise anything.

Of course. Stalin is

a tricky bastard.

[soft chuckle]

Thank you.

Did you come all this way

just to ask me this favor?

Well, it means a great deal to my country.

Yes.

But you could have just called me.

You came here to see her.

Didn't you?

I'm going back tomorrow.
