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?
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 shit! 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!
- 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?
