Kolbein!

Max!

Get down!

- Speak Norwegian!

- Pull back!

Cover me!

I am often awakened

by memories of Finland,

Like I have been many times before,

but not like now.

Lie still.

- This time it's different.

- You are in hospital.

You fell. You have a concussion.

The Russians only got 150 km into Finland.

We let Germany take over

Norway in 2 months.

- I was embarrassed to be Norwegian.

- Kolbein! Thanks!

- Gunnar!

- Hi.

Hi.

- Kolbein meet Gunnar.

- Hi.

- Snsteby.

- Kolbein Lauring.

- Have you contacted many people?

- Yes, some.

Where are we meeting?

We gathered in small groups,

around the country.

People who won't give up the fight

and still believe we can beat them.

- Hi.

- Good to see you again.

Hi, Tallak.

- Edvard Tallaksen.

- Max Manus.

- This is Kolbein Lauring.

- Welcome.

- Celebrating already?

- More like a wake.

- Max Manus.

- Gregers Gram.

- You're the Finland volunteers.

- You volunteered to fight in Finland?

Was that exciting?

- This seems hopeless.

- The Government gave up on our defence.

- We'll build our own army.

- We don't have men or weapons.

- It isn't about that.

- Then what is it about?

It's about sending a message. Millions

of Norwegians are thinking the same.

This war has only just begun.

We must show them the fight isn't over,

that someone is willing to fight.

We really wanted to fight, to retaliate.

We just waited for someone to start it.

Someone has to be first.

That's the smartest thing

I've heard since the invasion.

Did you go to college or something?

We wanted to do something.

Anything. Whatever.

- What is that for?

- Making a newspaper.

- Making a newspaper?

- Yes! Propaganda!

The Germans took over our newspapers

and filled them with propaganda.

I'm a school dropout and can hardly write.

Now we're making a newspaper.

- Coffee, boys?

- The first free paper in the country.

We fought our battle. For king and country.

We became careless.

- I became careless.

- Who is from Hovseter?

Do you know where that is?

OK! Say they're from Max Manus.

That package is for Stein Glemming.

We were just amateurs.

I didn't think of consequences back then.

Holy sh*t! What is this? Gnat's piss?

Maybe the Minister can send

some real whiskey from England.

I'll ask the King what he thinks.

Don't close both eyes, Tallak.

- Damnit, this gun sight is off.

- Close the blackout curtains.

- Why do you want to leave now?

- They've got an organised resistance there.

- We're organising like crazy here!

- Blow up Colosseum Cinema? Smart.

- Yes.

- It isn't.

Imagine if we could collapse the roof

on Quisling and his entire retinue.

We could take out hundreds of traitors.

- Maybe even the Gestapo chief himself.

- Liquidate the Gestapo chief?

Many civilians would be shot in retaliation.

We can't win this war

by printing newspapers, boys!

- We have to take action!

- The time will come.

- Listen to this... Django Reinhardt!

- Enjoy it while you can.

- You know jazz has been banned?

- It's been banned?

All music and literature

that isn't ideologically correct.

Is Jens Book-Jenssen ideologically correct?

It's always ideologically incorrect

to listen to him.

Damnit, boys, it's Saturday!

I should be out dancing with some girl

whose name I don't know.

Sh*t!

- You could have killed me!

- With an air gun?

- I have a courier waiting.

- I'll miss you, Gregers!

- Sure you don't want to stay?

- Sure you don't want to come?

It's tempting right now.

- See you later!

- Bye!

- He bites like a girl!

- Help me out.

- Tickle him.

- I'll help him.

- No!

- Sh*t!

Here it is.

Nice find!

6 months into the war

things got more organised.

We were to receive orders.

Jens Christian Hauge was

in contact with London.

We used to play war together as kids.

- Edvardsen.

- That was a long time ago.

- What is your alias?

- Tollef.

I thought you were going to be

an attorney, earn a lot of money.

Is everyone here?

Edvard has been in touch

with our Government in London.

They are in charge.

The Government and the King.

There will be no actions

without their approval.

I've established a messenger route

to London via Sweden.

Erling will be my contact between

the different parts of the network.

We are many, but mainly amateurs.

More need training in England.

- I don't need training, Jens Christian.

- Neither do I.

We aren't in Finland,

we aren't in some trench.

Keeping a low profile doesn't mean

distributing flyers in public,

collecting weapons

from people you don't know,

planning the liquidation of prominent Nazis.

- Have you ever been in battle?

- This isn't about experience.

At least I know how to hold a gun.

The Gestapo can find you

through one member of your network.

If you continue like this

you will get caught.

The Government

has asked me to assemble...

- See you tomorrow.

- Depends on the weather!

"We Want Our Country"? What kind

of a country is that, Max Manus?

I have to go to the bathroom.

I've had to all night.

Want me to do it right here?

Can I take a piss in my own apartment?

I should have acted differently.

Shouldn't have gotten caught.

Not now. Not like this.

Captain! What kind of an idiot

hides explosives under his bed?

Conspiracy against the German State?

You want to test the new death penalty?

No! Stop! Shoot!

Max, don't do it!

Max, don't!

Pull back!

Don't move.

Jumping out that window is

the smartest thing I've ever done.

You're at Ullevl hospital. You fell.

- I had a new chance.

- You have a concussion...

- I wasn't about to blow it.

- How...how many?

- What are you trying to say?

- How many guards outside?

5. They are armed.

What's your name?

Liv.

- Where are you from, Liv?

- Eivindvik.

- Where is that?

- In Sogn.

- I've never been there.

- Not many have.

Are there many patriots there?

Can you get a message out for me?

I think the doctor can...maybe.

He is a threat to national security.

He will be questioned.

We need to keep him for 4 weeks.

If you move him, he could die.

I have orders to bring him

to police headquarters immediately.

No, you don't understand.

The patient has internal bleeding.

- The doctor brought us some time.

- And Max?

Max knows too much. If they transfer him

to security police headquarters...

He wants to avoid torture.

He'd rather we shoot him.

- What about Kolbein?

- He won't get the death penalty, Max will.

He's worth the risk.

Get a car and a good driver.

Kolbein was sent to Grini last night.
