Edge of Darkness Page #2

Lars Malken, he runs the general store.

An old fool.

But he's useful to them for errands.

Karen Stensgard,

very active, very dangerous.

Daughter of the only doctor in town,

Martin Stensgard.

- Where are you going?

- To Gunnar Brogge.

- Karen, I forbid it.

- What have you against him, Father?

- He's not for you.

- I think he is.

Germans will stand him up against a wall,

you along with him.

Someone has to fight.

I'm a good Norwegian.

I wanna hold this family together.

You're not the only one in Norway

that wants that. Good night, Father.

A few farmers.

They're not very important.

In the cannery, they are all against us.

- One with us.

- The owner?

Of course.

- Who is the leader among these rebels?

- A man called Brogge, Gunnar Brogge.

A fisherman, about 30.

Served in the Norwegian army

when we first came in.

Head of the fishermen's union

when they had one.

Why don't you make arrests?

If it comes to an open rebellion...

...I can assure you, Herr Major,

within ten minutes.

We're 150 against 800.

We could be 150 against 8000.

Eighty thousand.

We have guns and they are afraid to die.

This man Brogge, where does he live?

Here on the wharf in this shack.

I can sail the course to England

blindfolded.

The moon is bright tonight.

They won't see me.

Gunnar, maybe you could wait?

- For what?

- For another night, a darker one.

- I've had my fill of waiting.

- All right then, go, now.

Karen...

...you think this is easy for me?

I can't stand it here any longer.

More than two years now with the Nazi

without striking a blow.

Other Norwegians have gone to England.

They're doing something.

But you've been doing things.

- Everyone here depends on you.

- Yes.

"Gunnar, how long? Gunnar, when?

Will we get the arms, Gunnar?"

And we wait. And they never come.

- So you leave us.

- I must.

You leave me.

Go now or I shall hold you.

Into the other room.

Gunnar.

- Gunnar.

Karen.

Hammer, what happened?

What are you doing here in Trollness?

- In Stoksund, revolt.

- What?

- There's a revolt in Stoksund.

- How? When?

Gunnar, I walked here.

- Talk.

- I can't.

A bullet here.

Karen, take him to Osterholm's farm.

It's not far.

Gunnar, I can't walk anymore.

Then crawl. Did you hear that bugle?

Koenig must have gotten the news

from Stoksund.

They'll send patrols.

They'll search every house for arms.

This is the first house they'll come to.

The patrol.

The trap, quick.

Hang on under the wharf until they leave.

Stay in the water then use the rowboat.

Hammer, please,

try to hold on a little longer.

Open up in there.

Open up in there!

We have orders to search the place.
