Oh, come on

You should

We should

Sing aloud

Now I think maybe

we'll think a little about the journey home.

-May I have another one? And one for him.

- Is that your father?

No

No. That's not my father.

He actually is

the best skier in Nor

- Can we have a drink here

-No thanks. Olav! We're going home.

And to the two.

Four pieces!

No, you'll have another one.

A little thin one for Fleischer.

Olav!

Now we go!

I thought so.

No, I'm staying here.

One to him and No!

One for him and one for

Yes, yes, yes

Do you feel good? Is this nice?

-No, you

-We can take one more.

- We're taking a little one.

-No, we do not.

-You No.

-Com.

I'll have it.

I'll have it!

Go.

Get it. Get it!

There you go.

Flink bisk.

You're not my father.

Sometimes it's hard

to remember what places look like.

Yes. I do not even remember

the name of the street we lived in.

Do you think we should go back?

To Norway, I mean.

I think so.

If we win the w*r.

If you were allowed to choose,

would you stay here or go home?

I think I would stay here. But do not say that

to my mother, she gets angry when I say that.

I would also rather stay here.

My trip!

Up with you!

Are you all at night,

are you all day.

There is a departure in 48 minutes.

Å

Captain Hans Hanekamhaug.

Captain Harald Bjørnson.

These are appointed to

interim majors in the Army -

- from 1 May 1944 -

under the conditions laid down in

Royal Decree of March 20, 1942.

I've held him back too much.

Of course, he can not stand to go idle

month after month, year after year.

Forgive me for bringing up

an old theme, but

The Crown Prince seemed motivated

for the position of Chief of Defense.

It's a pretty different matter now

than during the fighting in 1940.

The w*r is coming to an end. And that

is not in Norway the final match is.

- The Crown Prince will not be exposed to danger.

-It will be a more symbolic position.

But an important symbol

for the people back home.

After all, we're talking about

our future king's w*r effort.

Now, what do you say?

-What about Hansteen?

-He agrees and resigns.

No.

I do not want to be a galleon figure.

-It's not about

-I know what it's about.

I could have become Chief of Defense when it came.

But you held me back.

Now the danger is over and I get a dry one

old bone I should gnaw happy on!

No thank you.

It may exist

another way to solve it.

But it is not entirely without risk.

Then we are at the end of the road in the allocation

of awards and military appointments.

Does anyone have

any issues they want to promote?

Wold?

In light of the Crown Prince's efforts -

- and obvious in-depth understanding

in military strategy -

- I suggest to the Crown Prince

nominated as Chief of Defense -

- with overall responsibility

for all military branches and departments.

-Does anyone have anything to add?

-I

A moment.

The Minister of Defense has the floor.

I request that the setting be waived

and not voted on.

The Crown Prince can say no to an attitude.

I want us to order him for the position.

We are entering a crucial phase

against Germany,

- and the government is dependent on

the Crown Prince's leadership and insight.

We are voting on the order.

Everyone who agrees shows by signs.

And then I ask that the Crown Prince immediately

laid off from the Intergovernmental Conference.

As Chief of Defense, he has other things

to take care of than just sitting here.

Yes?

Do not you have a w*r to go out and win?

-Mom, look at my drawing!

-Get to see.

-But so nice!

-It's me and Astrid and Ragnhild.

Yeah, and then it's me and Dad, right?

No, it's godfather.

Dear Olav.

I write to you in confidence,

as a friend, fully aware -

- that you have a lot to do in London.

I ask you to consider

to come to Washington for Christmas.

I know it will do your family good

to see you again.

And you are all most welcome

to celebrate Christmas with us.

As always.

With best regards

Franklin.

Thanks. It is more likely

that he will come if you invite him.

The children must see their father.

Harald almost never talks about him.

Well, I understand your concern for the children.

But you also have to think for yourself.

And you're saying that?

Yes.

By the way, I have something for Harald.

I have stamps.

But where did I put them?

No

Not there.

I think I let them

I have to send them

when I find them.

-Thanks.

-Yes.

Tender?

Shall we celebrate Christmas with godfather?

-I do not think so.

-Why not?

Because he works so much, and

He is very tired now.

So it's best

that we celebrate Christmas at home this year.

What about Dad?

Is he coming?

Yes, we'll see.

Oh well.

Astrid, are you sending me the potatoes?

We have to answer

at Roosevelt's invitation.

I'm just going over

if the President orders it.

Dear compatriots.

Today I send Norwegians all over the world

my best wishes for the new year.

May it truly be

a year of victory for our just cause.

Let me first

turn me to all of you back home -

- who are exposed to every day

the enemy's terror on body and soul.

Their courage and belief in the future has become

put to the test in the past year.

But rest assured that these

suffering and longing will not be forgotten, -

- and that hour of liberation

now can not be far away.

We are all now seeing victory on the horizon.

Before we get to it, we all will

be subjected to the greatest trials.

The road will probably go

through struggle and suffering.

But we stick together and show sacrifice

and the patriotism we have shown so far, -

- we will experience the reunion

with our loved ones back home in Norway.

And together could take hold

on the rebuilding of our country.

With the assurance that this will happen, -

- I repeat my best wishes

for my countrymen and the new year.

May God bless land and people.

-Happy New Year!

-Happy New Year!

-Happy New Year!

-Happy New Year! No thanks. Have a nice evening!

Märtha called while you were out.

I should greet so much

and wish a happy new year.

Yes.

I'll call the kids tomorrow.

They thought it was a shame

that you were not there at Christmas.

Yes, now is the consideration for Norway

more important than personal needs.

The Yalta Conference is just around the corner.

I'm sure both Roosevelt

and Churchill was with the family.

-Stalin too, for that matter.

-Yes.

For all we know, Stalin sits and draws

new borders on the map of Europe.

Before we know it,

Finnmark becomes Russian.

We must have a counter-strategy

before meeting in Yalta.

Yes, I understand that.

But you must too

Think about your family's future.

Yes. Is there anything more?

No.

It's no more.

Happy New Year, my boy.

Happy New Year, Dad.

No, no, do not run.

Harald!

Father?

Hello. Hello my friend.

Good to see you, my girl.

-Where is Mommy?

-There.

-Greet Dad, now.

-Hey, Harald. You

You have become

Look at you, then. Nice dresses and

- Are you a general now?

-I'm something called Chief of Defense.

He is Commander-in-Chief

for the Norwegian forces.

Oh, Commander-in-Chief!

As a godfather.

Yes.

Come on, there's Sarah.

Sarah!

-Thanks.

-For what?

Because you have taken such good care of them.

They have really become

I see that.

Of course.

Are you here on official business?

I need to talk to Franklin

before meeting Churchill and Stalin.

Of course.

I will appreciate

if you make it as short as possible.

Of course.

You're in a hurry today.

-Franklin?

-Yes?

-Just go in.

-Thanks.

-Commander.

-Congratulations on insertion number four.

Thanks.

Please sit down.

-Eleanor asked me to be short.

-Sure she did.

Thanks.

So, what's up?

Five years ago, Finland had to

cede large tracts of land to Russia.

And you're scared of Stalin

do the same with Norway?

Not without reason.

They liberated the northernmost part of the country -

- and can mean

that they have ownership of it.

Then you could talk to Stalin

on our behalf when you meet him in Yalta?

Of course.

But I can not promise any result.

-No.

-Stalin is a free lure.

Thanks.

You came all the way here

just to request this service?

It means a lot to our country.

Yes.

But you could have just called.

Or sent Märtha.

You came to see her.

Right?

I'm going back tomorrow.

Thanks, Franklin. And good luck.

With what?

You know Yalta.

And

Everything.

Olav.

I hope I see you here

at the victory party.

You and Märtha.

Together.

Sir.

-Your are bigger than mine.

-Yes, they are a little bigger than yours.

-Soon you get feet as big as dad.

-What do those stars mean?

We are not going to stay that long.

It's getting late for the kids.

Maybe you want to join? So can

do you continue the conversation at home?

Would like to very much.

who was my faithful companion,

was the reliability itself -

- and the most teachable student

I could have.

Willing to learn?

What's that?

Willing to learn.

I really enjoyed him. First

and first I had to teach him to speak.

But little friend,

are you still awake?

He fell asleep.

Come on, let's go and check.

Like that. Come now.

-Thanks. And the big suitcase?

-Yes

Have a good time, then

No!

They are doing so well now.

Is that really true

to tear them up after such a long time?

Four years is a long time for a child.

Harald barely remembers Skaugum

and hardly speaks Norwegian.

Of course you're going home

when the w*r is over.

Has not this become our home?

Where do these thoughts come from?

Your Highness has

told the children to go home.

Yes.

There is one thing to comfort yourself with

that everything will be as before.

But something completely different to realize

that it's just an illusion.

Does the Crown Princess have a choice?

Yes, Queen Maud

was a lot in England.

But she was basically British

and could not stand the Norwegian winter.

-So you bought that explanation?

-The people do not accept that you stay here.

But the people do not need to know anything.

There are other times.

The newspapers write what they want. And the kids?

Olav and the king will never accept

that Harald stays here. He is heir to the throne!

Yes it is ready.

But I can travel to visit

regularly.

And the children can come and visit me,

and then everything could seem like

I should not have to listen to this!

It does not fit, Your Highness.

Today came President Roosevelt

back to Newport News -

- after participating

at the Yalta Conference.

The President takes the train to Washington -

- and is expected

to the White House tomorrow morning.

-Help me.

-I'm going to help you.

Good god, Harry.

There you go.

-Harry. Eleanor.

-You look tired. You have to rest.

I'm fine.

I rested on the ship.

-Now it's really bad.

- He just needs rest.

He's recovering.

After agreeing with Churchill

and Stalin on the division of Europe -

- the president is now back in Washington.

But today's press conference

was canceled at the last minute.

The White House has not given up

some reason for the cancellation

What is it?

-Can we sit down?

-Of course.

Franklin is resting. He's going to Warm Springs

tomorrow to get treatment.

- He's not well.

-But then I wait until he is better.

I do not think he will get better.

-Then I have to meet him.

- He does not want you to see him like that.

Märtha

-Märtha! Wait

- Do not try to stop me, Harry.

Please move,

otherwise I make a scene.

Yes.

Thanks.

Å

Please go.

Their Highness.

Please.

Franklin.

I was going to ask you -

- if we were to take a drive today.

You and I -

and Secret Service.

Märtha.

Hold on to your hat.

We cancel the program

with an extra news broadcast.

The White House has just announced -

- that President Roosevelt is dead.

Sources say he passed away

in Warm Springs, Georgia.

Information about the cause of death

has not been published.

My God, so many.

Yes, it is noticeable that our strengths

are active in the Allied operations.

Tradin?

Thorbjørn Tradin?

Is not that he pilot

who had a daughter?

Erling's fiancé. He was

shot down on a voyage across France.

Ulla and Erling took it very seriously.

He was wing commander over Oslo

when the Germans attacked Norway. Father!

He should get the w*r cross with a sword.

Yes.

I bring it up in the cabinet.

We cancel the program

with an important message:

This is a serious,

but wonderful moment.

General Eisenhower

has informed me about -

- that the German forces

has surrendered to the United Nations.

Your Majesty!

Oxygen telegram from London.

Tender!

It is over!

The w*r is over!

-What do you say? Did they say that on the radio?

-Yes!

-It is over!

-Yes!

It is over!

Finally!

My boy.

-Finally.

-Finally.

-Toast.

Cheers, Your Majesty.

Toast.

Cheers, my boy.

Congratulations.

-Father!

-There are you.

Your Highness?

Yes.

Sorry I come unannounced.

- Can I come in?

-Yes of course. Come in.

-Just seen you.

-Thanks.

-What's her name?

-Hanna.

Hanna.

Then it was not Thorbjørnine, then?

No.

She died.

-Milk?

-Yes please.

Sorry. I

It happened all of a sudden.

Crib death, they said.

OMG.

-Condolences.

-Thorbjørn, he

He had such a bad conscience too

that he was away from Hanna and me.

And two weeks later so

-Pardon.

-No no.

The w*r has demanded a lot of you.

The w*r took my husband.

But not love.

I'm among the lucky ones.

Thorbjørn and I got to stay together.

Until death do us part.

I

I'm coming on an official errand.

It's the w*r cross with the sword.

For your husband's efforts in the fight for

to win back our old fatherland.

No. Thorbjørn did not fight for

the old; he fought for the future.

For a new and better Norway.

We can not get back what was.

So we must rather do our best

to look ahead.

Listen, this is crazy

to go to Norway already now.

Norway will not be liberated by itself.

The Germans have to go out, and that's my job.

But if only one sh**ting gal is German

will not surrender

Father!

Now is the time

that you trust me.

- Are we on schedule?

-In a few hours you will be in the old country.

Look, mom, is it Norway?

Hello, Norway!

It's Norway!

Hello!

Hurray!

Hello!

Hello!

Welcome aboard, Your Highness.

Welcome home.

Hello.

Hi!

Hello.

- We're going home.

-Yes, we actually have to.

Good to hear that you speak Norwegian again.

I thought you were going to meet us at the dock.

Yes, I could not wait any longer.

I should have come on board before.

Much before.

Welcome home, Your Majesty.

Welcome, Your Highness.

Welcome.

Welcome home, Your Highness.

Welcome.

Come on, Jack.

Is this our house?

Yes, of course, your toy cup.

-Come on, we'll show you.

-We have a stable with our own horses!

Their Highness.

Welcome home.

Thanks.

Thanks for everything.

Oh!

That's nice.

New desk.

To you.

To me?

Yes. Your new office.

Thanks.
