Max Manus: Man of War Page #5

which we find ourselves, will allow for it.

Fortunately we will never

have to negotiate over Norway.

- Here's to good old Fortress Norway.

- To Norway.

Take it apart, then clean...and oil it...

so it is lubricated... Then you have...

- Where is Max?

- In there.

The Germans have broken through

in the Ardennes.

- Where?

- On the Western Front.

- Hitler will empty Norway of troops.

- Good.

- 300,000 rested soldiers to the front?

- What's that got to do with us?

We have to make sure

not a single German leaves Norway.

We've been fighting to get rid of them

and now you want us to keep them here?

Don't you get it?

This could mean they'll win the war!

Max! Gunnar and the others are

blowing up the railroads.

Then there's the Donau.

That no one has done anything with.

- She's still in service.

- English planes can handle it.

The Donau has shot down half the RAF!

We have to do this now.

Roy! I'm still in command here.

Who the hell are all these people?

Get the hell out of here!

- Get out!

- Max...

What are you doing, Max?

- You can't take the Donau alone!

- I'm sick of people dying around me.

- Don't be stupid!

- Didn't you hear Roy?

The Donau has 5 companies,

tons of weapons and equipment.

- One man is worth it!

- No.

- However we do it, we do it together.

- Have you been down there?

We have one chance.

And the price is one life.

- It's my turn.

- Your turn to what?

- Out.

- Your turn to what, Max?

Gregers and Tallak weren't just your

friends! Why do you need to die too?

Listen to Roy!

We're the only ones left.

We're doing this together,

and we're getting out of it alive!

- Should we wait?

- I ate some bad eggs.

It's slippery here!

- Hello. We're the electricians.

- Electricians? I haven't been told.

Damnit, Jonna!

I told you to report this.

They're probably going to fix

that connection in the control room.

OK. Go through.

That's new.

May we please enter?

We have a job to do.

- Of course.

- Thank you.

Please use the exit

on the other side.

Here. Roy!

Hold it steady!

- Did they see us?

- No, I don't think so!

Hey, have you been swimming?

- What's that?

- So it looks like we fixed something.

- Is everything OK?

- We need some more tools.

- We'll be back tomorrow.

- Make sure your documents are in order!

- All right. Excuse me.

- Don't mention it.

One moment.

- Who are they?

- Electricians.

Haven't I seen you before?

I don't know. I live nearby.

No.

Do you play football?

Just wait until sunrise,

and the bombs will go off.

- Careful across the border.

- Likewise.

The bombs were most likely planted

before the Donau left the harbour.

Get me a casualty list.

My God...

They have sabotaged all the railway lines.

They have blown up the lines

Kongsvinger, Drammen, Moss...

- Not one line left.

- In one night?

This can't be happening.

Isn't it time we used harsher measures?

We are being tested, Hhler.

Now, more than ever,

it is essential that we show strength.

Find the addresses

of everyone under suspicion.

We must crush them, once and for all.

- Max?

- Hi!

Where have you been?

- Don't do...

- Can we...

- Can we go somewhere?

- No, not now, Max.

I leave tomorrow.

We received a telegram

that the Donau sank outside Drbak.

That's fantastic.

Is there anything I can help you with?

Anything you need?

Don't do this. Please?

Our primary target is here.

2 Frich Street.

4 identified individuals.

2 unknown.

All are heavily armed

and prepared to resist.

Yes. Yes. Yes. No. No.

I take full responsibility.

Yes. We strike tomorrow.

Yes. Heil Hitler.

No, wait! Wait! Wait!

You have to get out now.

They're striking all over town.

- Where?

- At Kolbein's. He shot his way out.

- Where is he?

- He's fine..

- They probably took Mrs ynebrten.

- Probably? What are you talking about?

If they know about Kolbein's,

they know about Mrs ynebrten's.

You have to go to Sweden.

I have to get everyone out.

You have to go to Sweden.

Not without the boys.

Dear countrymen,

once again we can celebrate our freedom!

Tens of thousands

of people are gathered...

Norwegian flags have been raised

on all the buildings...

Norwegian seamen,

Norway welcomes you home!

Thank you to the Norwegian people!

Do you recognise me?

No.

My name is Manus.

Are you Max Manus?

Allow me to congratulate you.

You have much to be proud of.

You don't look that dangerous in real life.

Neither do you.

If only you knew how hard we tried,

Max Manus.

But you always got away.

Time after time.

Luck.

I don't believe in luck.

You have it in you.

You can't get caught.

English cigarettes.

The only good thing

to come out of that country.

So, do you feel any better?

Now that the Big Bad Wolf

is behind bars?

I have wanted you dead for so many years.

And now?

I'm glad I got to meet you, Max Manus.

Where are you going?

Grand Hotel have free beer!

That's nice.

- I'm going to Trondheim. Care to join me?

- I think I'll stay here.

- Are you all right?

- Sure.

- You have to celebrate!

- I am.

I hung a flag in the living room.

This bottle has been buried since

the invasion. You'd better enjoy it!

Does everyone have some?

I would like to propose a toast.

- To freedom!

- To the King!

To Max.

To Max!

Hello?

Is anyone here?

Max?

What are you doing?

How long have you been here?

Gunnar hasn't seen you in days.

You could have called.

I'm celebrating.

But there's no one to celebrate with.

I'm no longer your responsibility, Tikken.

That isn't how it works.

Look at that.

I thought that was...God.

And then I asked Him

why He took Gregers...

instead of me.

Is that too much to ask?

Nothing is as pathetic as a soldier

that no one needs anymore.

A drunk. With frayed nerves.

Max, peace has come.

You don't have to hide anymore.

You can be whatever you want.

They're dead, Tikken!

All of them. And for what?

No, they aren't all dead.

I have no money, no education, no job!

And I don't have you.

My life was set.

I married a diplomat.

Got a nice apartment in Stockholm.

Just what my parents wanted.

Yet here I am, with you.

- Sorry.

- And you drink...

You feel sorry for yourself...

Still...I have never met

a man like you, Max.

- Let's go for a walk!

- No way.

If you can blow up the Donau,

you can walk down the stairs with me.

Things tend to work out

for the best, Manus.

Gregers Gram and Edvard Tallaksen both

received the posthumous Cross of War.

Siegfried Fahmer was sentenced to death

for war crimes

and shot at Akershus Fortress in 1948.

Jens Christian Hauge became

the youngest Minister of Defence.

He later became Minister of Justice

and was a prominent member

of the labour movement

until his death in 2006.

Kolbein Lauring worked for Max Manus'

office supply business after the war

and lived a quiet family life

until he died in 1987.

Gunnar Snsteby is now a retired

business man and gives talks

to pupils about the Norwegian
