The English.

They're...

They're...

What, Hammer? What?

Delivering arms,

all up and down the coast.

Not to us, they haven't.

- They will.

- Are you sure, Hammer?

Hammer, are you sure?

Yes.

Sure.

I'm sure.

Sure.

Hear that? Did you hear what he said?

We're gonna get arms from the British.

He was sure.

- Arms.

- At last.

God help us.

God help us all.

Goodbye.

How many mornings we've said goodbye

on these steps?

Will there be one more morning, Gunnar?

I must make arrangements to get Hammer

across the border into Sweden.

Before he goes,

we must hold a meeting in the church.

It's important that in receiving the arms

the whole town be with us.

They'll be with us. They'll follow you.

Thanks.

All right, Gunnar.

I'm through crying now.

Karen, I gave you many reasons

for wanting to go to England.

I don't care now why you wanted to go.

All I care is that you're staying.

- But there was one reason I didn't give you.

- Yes?

You.

I worried about you.

I was afraid

that if anything happened to you, l...

I might lose my head.

Then I wouldn't be

of much use anymore.

But now I stay. Now, I've got to stay.

Karen, if were going to fight...

...we have to be like steel.

Yes, Gunnar.

I'll have some more butter, please.

There isn't any more, ma'am.

There won't be any more

until the day after tomorrow.

Good morning, Mother, Father.

Good morning, Karen.

Good morning, darling.

- How pretty she looks. You slept well.

- Wonderfully, Mother.

Oh, I'm so glad you weren't here last night

when the Germans came.

I was visiting the pastor's wife.

She's not feeling very well.

You must've stayed late.

I didn't hear you come in.

Did you hear her, Martin?

- No. No, I didn't.

- I'll help you straighten out the house.

Yes.

Yes, this house must be straightened out.

- This house must look as pretty as you do.

- Isn't she sweet?

Darling, I had a dream.

I had a wonderful dream.

I dreamt things were like they used to be.

I had made a great big supper...

...and we sat around the table

talking, laughing.

Your father drank a little bit too much,

fell asleep just the way he used to do.

And Uncle Kaspar told stories...

...about how he worked his way up

in the world.

And you were playing the piano

and Johann was singing.

- Wasn't that a beautiful dream?

- Yes, Mother.

Darling, that wasn't a dream.

That's the truth.

That's just the way it's going to be.

Johann is coming home.

Johann's coming home?

Well, aren't you glad?

Yes, Mother.

I got the letter this morning.

I must have read it 20 times.

No. No, it isn't in my pocket.

It's upstairs.

I'll go and get it. I'll read it to you.

I didn't even know he was coming
