Max Manus: Man of War Page #4

---

Of course.

It may look harmless,

but this spark can set everything on fire.

Maximo Manus.

Escaped from captivity 3 years ago.

We have tried to infiltrate them.

- But he is very careful.

- Careful, yes. But also ambitious.

- He's lucky to have you.

- Yes.

He fell asleep on a tram once,

and the Gestapo came in.

His pockets were full of illegal fliers.

The Gestapo didn't have

the heart to wake him up...

He looked so damned serene.

Poor thing.

Sometimes I long for Finland.

Why is that?

There you could at least

look the enemy in the eye.

It was us or them.

Now the enemy is

behind you, around you.

Everywhere.

They torture and kill my friends

to get their hands on me.

Someone has to lead.

I've led them into something

from which there is no way out.

- Are you laughing?

- Yes, I'm sorry.

- I just poured my heart out.

- I'm sorry.

I had no idea you were so...sentimental.

What's wrong with that?

Boys get like that when they drink.

Gregers said you cried when you watched

"Gone with the wind".

- Christ! And I consider him a brother!

- I thought he was kidding.

What did you think when you heard it?

That I had cried.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

- I'm not ashamed. Are you?

- No. Should I be ashamed of something?

I don't know... You're drinking with

2 Norwegians boozers until the wee hours.

- What does your husband think?

- He's in England.

We're still married, yes...

But we aren't exactly "married",

if you know what I mean.

OK...

- What are you doing?

- Pulling my foot back out.

- You have a lousy sense of humour.

- But you're laughing!

Hitler, Goebbels

and Hitler came into a bar...

- Hitler and Hitler?

- Himmler! Don't spoil the joke.

- What is it?

- Sabotage.

- No.

- It's sabotage...

Now what?

Is it safe? Are you sure?

Yes, sir!

Who taught you to dance?

- A prostitute in Havana.

- Right.

I was 14.

She was like a mother to me.

- Have you been to Havana?

- Yes.

Toot-toot!

Dad sent me to an uncle in Cuba

to make a man of me.

Mission failed.

Whiskey?

Yes.

Did you leave home at 14?

No.

It's a long story.

- Let's see if you can dance.

- No way!

All right.

Come on.

See? I just needed you to balance me.

I have to go.

You don't have to do anything.

See you later.

Mrs. ynebrten's Apartment

2 Frich Street, Oslo

- Why doesn't it have a hammer?

- It's hidden.

So you can fire through your pocket

without it getting stuck.

Cover girl?!

Let me see.

No reward?

Olav will be joining you from now on.

- We don't need any more men.

- Of course we do!

- Hi. Olav.

- Welcome.

I'm serious. Be careful, Max.

Half of my network is gone.

I sleep in a different place every night.

Take all necessary precautions.

I'll just stay with the boys.

If you need me, ask for a Turkish pretzel

at Andersen Bakers in Grnland.

What if we just get a Turkish pretzel?

- There's no such thing.

- I'm sure I've had a Turkish pretzel!

- No, I think that was a Turkish pastry.

- Forget about the pretzel!

Be careful, Max. You can't dive

through a window every time.

- What happened?

- He dropped the gun.

- I'm dead. My heart...

- Call an ambulance!

- He's wanted! He can't go to hospital!

- My dad is a doctor.

- Get him!

- I'm sorry.

- Sh*t...Gregers, Tallak...

- Be quiet.

- Brothers, the King... Damn...

- He's shot through the leg, too!

- In 2 places.

- It went through the leg first...

- What?

- Christ!

- I can see the bullet.

- You can?

It's just a little fragment.

Damn, you scared me!

It still hurts like hell!

I couldn't get all the pieces out

and I can't operate.

- You have to get to a hospital.

- I can't go to a hospital.

Then get to Sweden as fast as you can.

It could get infected.

I can't leave the boys.

Hell, what do I know?

I've only been a doctor for 30 years.

Does he need any more bandages,

doctor, or pills...?

- I can't leave now. You understand that?

- You're no good with an amputated leg.

- Come with me to Sweden.

- No.

One of us has to stay here, Max.

Make sure the boys don't

blow up the Palace or something.

- It's wrong to split up now.

- You'll be back soon.

Here.

So you don't forget what we're going

to do when you come home.

I'm such an idiot!

You know what?

You're absolutely right.

Stop!

Are you sure about this?

They are Germans.

They must have realised

which way the war is turning.

- You don't have to do this.

- No, I'm fine.

- There you are.

- This is a friend of mine.

Excellent. Have a seat.

I have ordered coffee. Ersatz coffee.

- Could you please sit there?

- Sure.

I am so glad you contacted me.

We are always interested

in information on the Gestapo.

But I need to make sure

you are on our side.

This is a...

This is a dangerous...

game...

Keep calm!

Don't shoot!

Gregers!

Stop!

This one is still alive.

- There. Take it easy for a few days.

- Thank you.

Hi!

Gunnar?

- They haven't taken Kolbein have they?

- No.

Gregers?

That can't be.

That doesn't make any sense.

- When did you find out?

- This morning.

That can't be right!

Tikken, that doesn't make any sense!

How?

He was at a caf. An ambush.

I knew it. I knew it.

I should never have left!

- Max... You can't blame yourself.

- Was anyone else there?

Tallak. He has been arrested.

- When is the next train to the border?

- Max. You can't leave now.

They'll catch you too!

You can't save everyone, Max!

I can save him!

How can you leave now?

Don't you understand?

You're safe here.

Right here! Don't leave now.

How can you ask me to stay?

I don't know who you think I am.

I'm just an errand boy.

I don't know anything!

Don't make this hard for yourself,

Mr Tallaksen.

Could you play some other music?

Take it easy. We have plenty of time.

Torture, like a symphony,

consists of several movements.

This is the first.

You can die quickly and without pain...

..once you have told us everything.

Merry Christmas.

Are you going home to celebrate?

- I'm visiting a friend.

- I don't understand Norwegian.

To a friend.

I have a daughter her age.

I hope I'll be home next year.

You want to go home?

Cheers, my friend! Enough of this war.

Here, cigarettes.

Thank you.

You have no idea how happy I am.

You may be one of the men I kill

when we sink the Donau.

Perhaps you'll lie there in the ice-cold

water screaming for your mother.

We are both going to die.

But I can die with a smile on my lips

because I know we are going to win.

Gregers knew that.

Tallak smiled as he unbuttoned his shirt.

He knew we'd win, with or without him.

Just like we know we're going to die...

Just like we know...

This is where I get off.

PARTY AT EGIL'S AND VESLA'S

BRING THIS! KOLBEIN

The offensive on the Western Front

will break through the western lines.

- And then we'll take Antwerp.

- I don't see that happening.

And once we have Antwerp,

we can negotiate for peace.

- Then move our troops to the East.

- I don't believe in negotiating.

And I don't think this "total war", in
