1
00:00:15,881 --> 00:00:20,161
At this moment it is announced
that Montgomery has stated -
2
00:00:20,321 --> 00:00:25,361
- that the German troops in Holland,
Northwest Germany and Denmark -
3
00:00:25,561 --> 00:00:27,681
- have surrendered.
4
00:00:30,761 --> 00:00:35,681
By the time the liberation came,
our family had been torn apart.
5
00:00:37,121 --> 00:00:42,921
My son Michael served in the Legion and
returned from the Eastern Front broken.
6
00:00:44,481 --> 00:00:47,361
He perished in the last days of the war.
7
00:00:47,561 --> 00:00:52,161
Aksel joined the Communist movement
and went underground.
8
00:00:53,481 --> 00:00:56,721
Helene eloped with
a German submarine captain -
9
00:00:56,881 --> 00:01:01,281
- but when he was killed,
she came back home.
10
00:01:01,441 --> 00:01:04,961
Aksel dragged Valdemar and Knud
into the fight -
11
00:01:05,081 --> 00:01:08,681
- and Knud was killed
during an operation -
12
00:01:08,841 --> 00:01:12,361
- leaving behind his pregnant wife,
Britta.
13
00:01:12,561 --> 00:01:16,681
How can you co-operate with a Nazi?
14
00:01:16,841 --> 00:01:21,801
During the war, I worked for the
Germans to save my factory, Elektrona.
15
00:01:21,961 --> 00:01:25,561
Your company is especially favoured.
16
00:01:26,841 --> 00:01:32,001
But the resistance movement blew it up
during the last spring of the war.
17
00:01:38,601 --> 00:01:43,201
I'll do everything I can to prevent
accusations of collaboration.
18
00:01:43,361 --> 00:01:45,961
But it won't be easy.
19
00:01:46,081 --> 00:01:51,081
With public opinion being as it is,
I'd go and visit my Swedish family -
20
00:01:51,241 --> 00:01:54,041
- if I were you.
21
00:01:56,401 --> 00:02:03,121
AFTER THE DARKNESS
22
00:02:05,281 --> 00:02:09,601
LANDSKRONA
Summer 1945
23
00:02:17,361 --> 00:02:21,641
She's on the line. I didn't understand
half of what she said.
24
00:02:21,801 --> 00:02:25,961
- She cried a lot.
- Helene? It's Dad. What happened?
25
00:02:26,081 --> 00:02:30,401
- I don't know what to do...
- Calm down, darling.
26
00:02:30,601 --> 00:02:34,801
It never ends well when
she mixes those pills with alcohol.
27
00:02:34,961 --> 00:02:39,361
- What is she taking pills for?
- I don't know, Dad.
28
00:02:39,561 --> 00:02:43,201
Tell her not to drink
while she's taking them...
29
00:02:43,361 --> 00:02:46,921
I've already told her,
but she doesn't listen.
30
00:02:47,041 --> 00:02:51,681
- What about Michael's funeral?
- You've arranged everything.
31
00:02:51,841 --> 00:02:54,681
She hasn't helped out at all...
32
00:02:54,841 --> 00:02:59,241
None of the vicars are willing to help.
I'm alone in this.
33
00:02:59,401 --> 00:03:02,841
- Then I'll have to come home.
- Absolutely not.
34
00:03:02,961 --> 00:03:07,361
Pardon me, Gustav is saying something.
Just a moment.
35
00:03:07,561 --> 00:03:10,961
You're not going anywhere.
It's too risky.
36
00:03:11,121 --> 00:03:16,041
Helene?
I'll call you back in a few minutes.
37
00:03:16,201 --> 00:03:20,681
Please hurry.
38
00:03:20,841 --> 00:03:26,561
Karl, this is madness.
Times have changed, but not enough.
39
00:03:26,721 --> 00:03:32,801
You risk going to prison, or hanging
from a noose out in the woods.
40
00:03:32,961 --> 00:03:35,841
Karl, please listen to Gustav.
41
00:03:35,961 --> 00:03:41,201
I have to go home.
I'm going to bury my son.
42
00:03:41,361 --> 00:03:44,441
Then we'll get you a Swedish passport.
43
00:03:44,641 --> 00:03:50,081
I'll come with you. I'll stay
with Eva and try to cheer her up.
44
00:03:50,241 --> 00:03:52,321
Then that's what we'll do.
45
00:04:05,481 --> 00:04:08,641
- Passports, please?
- Sure.
46
00:04:22,401 --> 00:04:24,681
- Thank you.
- You're welcome.
47
00:04:48,761 --> 00:04:50,841
Michael.
48
00:04:53,081 --> 00:04:55,841
You fought.
49
00:04:57,161 --> 00:05:02,441
You'd been anti-Communist
since you fought in the war in Finland.
50
00:05:04,361 --> 00:05:08,721
This, unfortunately,
led you into bad company.
51
00:05:09,841 --> 00:05:14,641
But Valdemar wouldn't be
standing here today if not for you.
52
00:05:15,801 --> 00:05:18,881
We'd like to thank you for that.
53
00:05:20,281 --> 00:05:23,161
We miss you, my boy.
54
00:05:25,321 --> 00:05:27,001
Rest in peace.
55
00:05:27,161 --> 00:05:31,321
Our Father, who art in heaven -
56
00:05:31,481 --> 00:05:34,601
- hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come.
57
00:05:35,841 --> 00:05:39,841
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
58
00:05:39,961 --> 00:05:42,961
Give us this day our daily bread.
59
00:05:43,081 --> 00:05:48,121
And forgive us our trespasses, as we
forgive those who trespass against us.
60
00:05:58,601 --> 00:06:01,121
Never ask me to do that again.
61
00:06:03,201 --> 00:06:07,121
You shouldn't have given him
real money, Dad.
62
00:06:07,281 --> 00:06:11,321
- You should have given him newspaper.
- Yes, perhaps.
63
00:06:12,561 --> 00:06:15,001
How are you doing?
64
00:06:15,161 --> 00:06:19,961
I'm playing the drums in Tivoli.
I can't complain.
65
00:06:20,081 --> 00:06:23,121
Dad?
The police were here asking for you.
66
00:06:24,401 --> 00:06:26,561
Again.
67
00:06:26,721 --> 00:06:30,641
Well, we're taking the last ferry home.
68
00:06:31,561 --> 00:06:35,961
- Good.
- Your mum couldn't make it after all?
69
00:06:36,121 --> 00:06:39,961
No, she was feeling very poorly,
unfortunately.
70
00:06:40,121 --> 00:06:45,441
She worried she might pass it on
to the rest of us, so...
71
00:06:48,401 --> 00:06:51,681
It was so beautiful, Dad.
72
00:06:53,681 --> 00:06:56,161
Thank you for all your help, darling.
73
00:07:04,281 --> 00:07:06,441
Stop.
74
00:07:07,441 --> 00:07:11,281
Take the left side of the house.
Get down.
75
00:07:11,441 --> 00:07:15,761
We'll go to Malmö and then
take the train to Gothenburg.
76
00:07:15,921 --> 00:07:18,161
And then what?
77
00:07:18,321 --> 00:07:22,561
From there they'll get us to Portugal
and then Montevideo.
78
00:07:22,721 --> 00:07:27,281
- Montevideo? Where is that?
- Here. In Uruguay.
79
00:07:27,441 --> 00:07:30,481
It's the capital.
It's on the Atlantic coast.
80
00:07:30,681 --> 00:07:34,081
Can we have a house
with an ocean view, then?
81
00:07:34,241 --> 00:07:37,961
You can have
anything you want, darling.
82
00:07:38,081 --> 00:07:41,281
I'll do a perimeter check.
83
00:07:47,481 --> 00:07:50,881
The house is surrounded.
Drop your weapons.
84
00:08:35,681 --> 00:08:37,961
No.
85
00:08:39,641 --> 00:08:41,881
Damn!
86
00:08:46,481 --> 00:08:48,961
We'll get that bastard.
87
00:08:59,321 --> 00:09:03,161
- I have a message for you.
- Yes?
88
00:09:05,481 --> 00:09:08,241
Liva wants to talk to you.
89
00:09:08,401 --> 00:09:13,561
I've got nothing to say to her.
You're the one who's married to her.
90
00:09:15,241 --> 00:09:19,241
She contracted tuberculosis
in the concentration camp.
91
00:09:21,601 --> 00:09:24,721
How bad is it?
92
00:09:26,801 --> 00:09:29,681
It's not good.
93
00:09:50,081 --> 00:09:52,921
No, wait.
Yes, it's here.
94
00:09:54,081 --> 00:09:59,161
Be careful. We need to catch that ferry,
so no more than 10 minutes.
95
00:09:59,321 --> 00:10:01,201
Right.
96
00:10:03,161 --> 00:10:06,321
DR LUND'S MATERNITY HOSPITAL
97
00:10:14,081 --> 00:10:17,401
BRITTA LAURITSEN
DELIVERY DATE: 05.08.1945
98
00:10:19,601 --> 00:10:21,601
Come in.
99
00:10:21,761 --> 00:10:25,881
- Could you spare a minute?
- Mr Skov? Of course.
100
00:10:26,001 --> 00:10:30,361
- Congratulations.
- Thank you.
101
00:10:30,561 --> 00:10:32,841
Oh...
102
00:10:32,961 --> 00:10:35,801
Oh...
103
00:10:35,961 --> 00:10:38,761
He looks like his father,
doesn't he?
104
00:10:40,401 --> 00:10:45,201
Little Knud is healthy and well.
4,100 grams.
105
00:10:45,361 --> 00:10:46,961
Yes...
106
00:10:47,121 --> 00:10:53,121
Helene told me your jazz club
is closing on the first of the month?
107
00:10:53,281 --> 00:10:55,281
Yes, unfortunately.
108
00:10:55,441 --> 00:11:00,721
I'm happy to provide financing
if you feel up for starting a new venue.
109
00:11:00,881 --> 00:11:04,961
- That's too much to ask.
- Not at all. We're family now.
110
00:11:07,041 --> 00:11:12,121
Hopefully I'll be in fighting condition
again someday. Thank you.
111
00:11:12,281 --> 00:11:16,401
I'll set up a bank account as well.
112
00:11:16,601 --> 00:11:21,121
Just for your everyday needs.
113
00:11:22,721 --> 00:11:27,201
Thank you, Mr Skov.
I don't know what to say.
114
00:11:27,361 --> 00:11:29,881
It's only money.
115
00:11:30,001 --> 00:11:33,321
- Oh, that scent...
- Yes.
116
00:11:36,921 --> 00:11:40,161
I keep smelling him too.
117
00:11:42,921 --> 00:11:47,241
I'm sorry. I need to leave.
118
00:11:47,401 --> 00:11:49,641
Thank you for coming.
119
00:11:55,721 --> 00:11:59,961
- Are you trying to keep people up?
- I'm so sorry. I was...
120
00:12:00,081 --> 00:12:04,321
Passport and driving licence?
Please exit the vehicle.
121
00:12:04,481 --> 00:12:06,921
Yes, of course.
122
00:12:11,481 --> 00:12:15,601
- What are you doing here?
- I was at the theatre.
123
00:12:15,761 --> 00:12:19,001
And then I got lost.
124
00:12:19,161 --> 00:12:22,761
I'm going to Helsingør, to the ferry.
125
00:12:22,921 --> 00:12:24,921
- Have you been drinking?
- No.
126
00:12:25,041 --> 00:12:29,081
- Hey. Are you with him?
- Yes.
127
00:12:29,241 --> 00:12:35,001
Step over here, please.
Papers, please.
128
00:12:37,361 --> 00:12:40,121
- You were at the theatre?
- Yes.
129
00:12:40,281 --> 00:12:44,121
- Which play did you see?
- I don't remember the title.
130
00:12:44,281 --> 00:12:46,961
It was very good.
131
00:12:47,081 --> 00:12:49,321
Yes, very good.
132
00:12:49,481 --> 00:12:54,281
I'm so sorry. I apologise
for tooting the horn so late at night.
133
00:12:54,441 --> 00:12:59,361
It was clumsy of me. We're going
to Helsingør. Is it that way?
134
00:12:59,561 --> 00:13:04,721
- Turn left and keep going straight.
- Thank you.
135
00:13:04,881 --> 00:13:08,681
- We need to get going.
- Here you are.
136
00:13:09,921 --> 00:13:13,081
Stop tooting the horn.
People are sleeping.
137
00:13:14,081 --> 00:13:17,321
Thank you. Have a good evening.
138
00:13:27,881 --> 00:13:30,161
I'm glad you came.
139
00:13:30,321 --> 00:13:33,441
Liva is waiting for you.
140
00:13:33,641 --> 00:13:36,561
I have to run out
for some cough mixture.
141
00:14:13,681 --> 00:14:15,841
Hello, Aksel.
142
00:14:15,961 --> 00:14:17,961
Hello, Liva.
143
00:14:26,281 --> 00:14:29,281
I'm so happy to see you.
144
00:14:34,041 --> 00:14:40,361
People around me...
Eventually they stopped moving.
145
00:14:40,561 --> 00:14:45,401
The woman in the lower bunk
suddenly stopped breathing one day.
146
00:14:45,601 --> 00:14:49,121
One day some people arrived...
147
00:14:50,601 --> 00:14:54,801
They spoke softly
and weren't afraid to touch us.
148
00:14:54,961 --> 00:14:59,561
They carried us into some white buses.
149
00:14:59,721 --> 00:15:02,401
And I thought -
150
00:15:02,601 --> 00:15:05,801
- maybe I wouldn't die after all.
151
00:15:12,081 --> 00:15:16,081
- But I will.
- You don't know that.
152
00:15:16,241 --> 00:15:18,601
You're sweet.
153
00:15:20,561 --> 00:15:24,441
There's something I want you to know.
154
00:15:24,641 --> 00:15:29,481
Once I've said it,
I'd like you to leave.
155
00:15:31,081 --> 00:15:33,921
Do you promise?
156
00:15:37,481 --> 00:15:40,161
I love Leif.
157
00:15:42,081 --> 00:15:45,161
But I love you, too, Aksel.
158
00:15:46,881 --> 00:15:49,241
I always have.
159
00:15:51,241 --> 00:15:54,761
But being with you was too difficult.
160
00:15:55,761 --> 00:15:59,041
You wanted me all to yourself.
And...
161
00:16:00,041 --> 00:16:02,921
I couldn't live up to that.
162
00:16:06,641 --> 00:16:09,161
You can kiss me.
163
00:16:13,201 --> 00:16:16,001
On my forehead.
164
00:16:42,361 --> 00:16:44,721
Goodbye, Aksel.
165
00:16:45,921 --> 00:16:47,961
Goodbye.
166
00:17:08,001 --> 00:17:10,481
I'll give Gunnar Jensen the floor -
167
00:17:10,681 --> 00:17:14,641
- so he can give us the news
from the Crown Prosecutor.
168
00:17:23,961 --> 00:17:25,721
Comrades.
169
00:17:26,881 --> 00:17:33,201
As you know, our demands for separate
tribunals for collaborators were denied.
170
00:17:33,361 --> 00:17:40,081
It is completely unreasonable that
the same judges who took our freedom -
171
00:17:40,241 --> 00:17:45,321
- should also judge
whether others have broken the law.
172
00:17:45,481 --> 00:17:48,561
But, but, but...
173
00:17:48,721 --> 00:17:53,161
The Minister for Justice has allowed me
to conduct three trials -
174
00:17:53,321 --> 00:17:57,001
- to test whether the system
is sustainable.
175
00:17:57,161 --> 00:18:02,121
The first case will be against
the collaborator Karl Skov.
176
00:18:02,281 --> 00:18:04,561
Bravo.
177
00:18:06,001 --> 00:18:08,761
We'll make them pay!
178
00:18:15,841 --> 00:18:17,481
That's right!
179
00:18:23,361 --> 00:18:28,001
Gunnar?
Let me introduce you to Aksel Skov.
180
00:18:28,161 --> 00:18:32,641
We expect a lot from him.
He led the sabotage of Elektrona.
181
00:18:32,801 --> 00:18:36,281
You were the one who blew up
your dad's factory?
182
00:18:36,441 --> 00:18:38,921
It had to be done.
183
00:18:39,041 --> 00:18:41,681
What does he think of the trial?
184
00:18:41,841 --> 00:18:46,201
We haven't spoken in years,
so that's his business.
185
00:18:46,361 --> 00:18:51,881
- How's the hunt for Ove Steffensen?
- We'll have him soon.
186
00:18:52,001 --> 00:18:57,241
- But he's just a small fry.
- Big enough to deserve his sentence.
187
00:18:57,401 --> 00:19:01,721
The big fish, the politicians
and entrepreneurs, are protected.
188
00:19:01,881 --> 00:19:05,001
You said it yourself.
The judges are crooked.
189
00:19:05,161 --> 00:19:08,001
Let's take one thing at a time.
190
00:19:08,161 --> 00:19:11,961
Actually, many of our comrades
can't understand -
191
00:19:12,081 --> 00:19:16,881
- why we don't drive out the corrupt
politicians and seize power.
192
00:19:17,001 --> 00:19:22,281
We're not strong enough. The police
and the Danish Brigade would stop us.
193
00:19:22,441 --> 00:19:26,961
We'll get a majority vote
at the election in October.
194
00:19:27,081 --> 00:19:31,281
- We'll be in charge.
- And then it's time to clean up.
195
00:19:32,761 --> 00:19:34,321
What are they thinking?
196
00:19:34,401 --> 00:19:35,361
THE DANISH PARLIAMENT
197
00:19:35,441 --> 00:19:36,961
We cannot have a rule of law -
198
00:19:37,041 --> 00:19:41,561
- where a resistance group
imprisons everyone for collaboration.
199
00:19:41,721 --> 00:19:46,121
Collaborating with the Germans
was in our society's best interest.
200
00:19:46,281 --> 00:19:50,201
What if we only go after
the biggest earners?
201
00:19:50,361 --> 00:19:55,281
We'll demand that they pay
a fair portion back to the state.
202
00:19:55,441 --> 00:19:58,561
It'll show people
we're doing something.
203
00:19:58,721 --> 00:20:01,961
As long as it doesn't
kill any businesses.
204
00:20:02,121 --> 00:20:05,841
Yes, of course.
Our business sector must survive.
205
00:20:05,961 --> 00:20:08,961
That will have to be enshrined in law.
206
00:20:09,081 --> 00:20:14,241
I've recommended that the politicians
include the word "instruction".
207
00:20:14,401 --> 00:20:17,961
So it will say that if you worked
for the Germans -
208
00:20:18,081 --> 00:20:22,041
- by order or instruction
from the Danish authorities -
209
00:20:22,201 --> 00:20:24,961
- then it won't be a problem.
210
00:20:25,121 --> 00:20:28,481
We'll add that collaboration
is only punishable -
211
00:20:28,681 --> 00:20:31,681
- if the circumstances
were unjustifiable.
212
00:20:31,841 --> 00:20:34,281
By phrasing it so broadly -
213
00:20:34,441 --> 00:20:38,321
- all you need is a good lawyer
to avoid punishment.
214
00:20:38,481 --> 00:20:44,001
So if lay judges in the lower courts
hand down convictions out of revenge -
215
00:20:44,161 --> 00:20:49,161
- the Supreme Court judges
will settle matters for us.
216
00:20:51,081 --> 00:20:54,121
They're disarming the comrades
who occupied the prison.
217
00:20:54,281 --> 00:20:57,441
- What was the point anyway?
- What do you mean?
218
00:20:57,641 --> 00:21:04,121
Those traitors were treated like kings.
Good thing the comrades took over.
219
00:21:04,281 --> 00:21:08,161
And now the politicians
are taking their weapons.
220
00:21:08,321 --> 00:21:13,721
Yes, so we'll take it to Parliament
and show them who has the power!
221
00:21:13,881 --> 00:21:19,241
- What would we do in there?
- Throw them out, of course!
222
00:21:19,401 --> 00:21:24,041
- They'll take our weapons next!
- That's what they want us to do!
223
00:21:24,201 --> 00:21:30,641
Gunnar says we'll be fighting
the Brigade, the police and the army.
224
00:21:30,801 --> 00:21:33,841
Can't you see
they're taking us for a ride?
225
00:21:33,961 --> 00:21:37,401
We fought for them!
They don't give a damn about us.
226
00:21:37,601 --> 00:21:43,441
Now that they're free, the people who
saved their arses are just in the way.
227
00:21:43,641 --> 00:21:47,961
- No. Hell no.
- Walther, stop.
228
00:21:50,841 --> 00:21:51,641
DEATH PENALTY IN DENMARK
229
00:21:51,721 --> 00:21:57,281
You Danes are so brutal.
You mean to reintroduce the death penalty?
230
00:21:57,441 --> 00:22:01,721
- That's not a good idea.
- I didn't come up with it.
231
00:22:01,881 --> 00:22:04,441
Well, these aren't normal times.
232
00:22:05,641 --> 00:22:11,561
- Everything can't be how it was.
- What about the ones who carry it out?
233
00:22:11,721 --> 00:22:15,601
It can't be good for a person's soul
to shoot someone else.
234
00:22:15,761 --> 00:22:19,841
What happens afterwards?
How are they ever supposed to...
235
00:22:21,361 --> 00:22:25,041
- Are you Karl Skov?
- Excuse me?
236
00:22:25,201 --> 00:22:28,361
- Are you Karl Skov?
- Yes.
237
00:22:28,561 --> 00:22:32,841
We have an order for your arrest
from the Danish police.
238
00:22:32,961 --> 00:22:37,121
- What's this about?
- You'll need to come with us.
239
00:22:37,281 --> 00:22:41,241
I'm not going anywhere
without speaking to my lawyer.
240
00:22:41,401 --> 00:22:46,241
- That's not up to you. Come with us.
- No, wait!
241
00:22:46,401 --> 00:22:51,961
- Stay out of this.
- Karl, I'll call your lawyer!
242
00:23:03,961 --> 00:23:08,241
- What am I being charged with?
- Section 94, subsection 2.
243
00:23:08,401 --> 00:23:12,081
- What does that cover?
- Espionage.
244
00:23:16,121 --> 00:23:18,801
Karen Faber, B.T.
Care to comment?
245
00:23:18,961 --> 00:23:21,241
Clear the street, please.
246
00:23:21,401 --> 00:23:24,721
How long did you collaborate
with the Germans?
247
00:23:24,881 --> 00:23:28,161
How much money did you make?
248
00:23:40,481 --> 00:23:42,761
What's that?
249
00:23:42,921 --> 00:23:45,401
No, no, no...
250
00:23:45,601 --> 00:23:49,641
We'll tell Mrs Skov
there was no newspaper today.
251
00:23:49,801 --> 00:23:52,881
Mrs Skov isn't deaf.
252
00:23:53,001 --> 00:23:55,081
What is it?
253
00:23:55,241 --> 00:23:57,241
COLLABORATOR
ARRESTED IN SWEDEN
254
00:23:57,401 --> 00:24:01,081
Now we have to be dragged
through this as well.
255
00:24:01,241 --> 00:24:05,961
"It was all for you."
Give me a break.
256
00:24:06,121 --> 00:24:09,121
Mum, this isn't Dad's fault.
257
00:24:10,961 --> 00:24:15,761
- Of course daddy's girl defends him.
- Mum, stop.
258
00:24:15,921 --> 00:24:18,241
It makes me sick.
259
00:24:18,401 --> 00:24:22,801
You know what?
You should be ashamed of yourself!
260
00:24:26,641 --> 00:24:29,201
Whoops...
261
00:24:49,441 --> 00:24:54,081
Karl Orla Skov stands arrested
and is charged with treason -
262
00:24:54,241 --> 00:24:59,841
PRELIMINARY HEARING
- by passing confidential
information on 29 August 1943 -
263
00:24:59,961 --> 00:25:03,361
- to a contact in
the German Ministry of Defence.
264
00:25:03,561 --> 00:25:08,361
We request a four-week remand,
as there is reason to believe -
265
00:25:08,561 --> 00:25:14,241
- the accused may attempt to evade
justice by fleeing or going into hiding.
266
00:25:14,401 --> 00:25:20,201
Are you Karl Orla Skov?
How do you plead?
267
00:25:20,361 --> 00:25:25,441
I'm completely innocent.
I've no idea what he's talking about.
268
00:25:25,641 --> 00:25:29,841
I'd never pass information
to the Germans.
269
00:25:29,961 --> 00:25:33,041
- It's pure nonsense!
- Thank you.
270
00:25:33,201 --> 00:25:38,161
- How does the prosecution respond?
- The investigation is ongoing.
271
00:25:38,321 --> 00:25:44,041
But the accused has had close contact
with the occupying power until recently.
272
00:25:44,201 --> 00:25:49,761
The accused has fled the country once,
which strengthens the suspicion.
273
00:25:49,921 --> 00:25:52,761
Yes. Thank you.
274
00:25:53,801 --> 00:25:57,161
Having considered the matter,
the court is satisfied -
275
00:25:57,321 --> 00:26:01,601
- that the accused is guilty
of a punishable offence -
276
00:26:01,761 --> 00:26:06,081
- and is therefore remanded
for four weeks.
277
00:26:06,241 --> 00:26:09,681
- Thank you.
- Do something.
278
00:26:09,841 --> 00:26:13,641
We wish to appeal the decision
to the High Court.
279
00:26:13,801 --> 00:26:19,161
This is my friend, K.B. Søndergaard,
one of the best lawyers in the country.
280
00:26:19,321 --> 00:26:23,201
- I know your name.
- Hello. K.B. Søndergaard.
281
00:26:23,361 --> 00:26:26,361
- Karl Skov.
- How are you?
282
00:26:27,801 --> 00:26:32,201
- Have you been able to sleep at all?
- Not much.
283
00:26:32,361 --> 00:26:36,761
I apologise for the delay.
It's been hectic at the ministry -
284
00:26:36,921 --> 00:26:40,921
- with the Communist Party
and Danish Unity in government.
285
00:26:41,041 --> 00:26:45,441
Perhaps we should explain
what will happen?
286
00:26:47,321 --> 00:26:53,321
First, the High Court will decide
whether to remand you.
287
00:26:53,481 --> 00:26:58,121
It will most likely rule that there
is sufficient doubt as to whether -
288
00:26:58,281 --> 00:27:01,161
- you can be convicted on this charge -
289
00:27:01,321 --> 00:27:05,721
- of which there is not
a shadow of proof.
290
00:27:05,881 --> 00:27:09,201
So, with a little ingenuity and luck -
291
00:27:09,361 --> 00:27:13,361
- you could walk out of here
in a few days.
292
00:27:13,561 --> 00:27:16,801
He's the best there is.
293
00:27:36,761 --> 00:27:39,641
- There. It's him.
- Isn't he blonde?
294
00:27:39,801 --> 00:27:41,961
Louise! Louise?
295
00:27:42,961 --> 00:27:45,641
Hey. Hey.
296
00:28:01,481 --> 00:28:04,001
Now.
297
00:28:05,361 --> 00:28:07,121
Now.
298
00:28:12,321 --> 00:28:14,921
- Have you been hit?
- My leg.
299
00:28:18,961 --> 00:28:21,561
Go. Cover me.
300
00:28:38,761 --> 00:28:40,361
Leif.
301
00:28:49,081 --> 00:28:53,801
Well done. Now we just need
that bastard to face the wall.
302
00:28:53,961 --> 00:28:58,721
Hello. Karen Faber, B.T. Were you
the ones who caught the executioner?
303
00:28:59,721 --> 00:29:03,281
- Yes.
- Can you comment on the arrest?
304
00:29:03,441 --> 00:29:08,441
Yes. We've been looking
for him for a while.
305
00:29:08,641 --> 00:29:13,401
He fired a few shots, but no one
was seriously hurt. It starts now.
306
00:29:13,601 --> 00:29:18,201
How long had you been planning it?
How did he react to the arrest?
307
00:29:19,601 --> 00:29:23,561
Ove Viktor Steffensen stands arrested
and is charged -
308
00:29:23,721 --> 00:29:27,881
- with seven counts of manslaughter
and 16 acts of torture.
309
00:29:28,001 --> 00:29:32,441
We ask for an initial four-week remand.
310
00:29:32,641 --> 00:29:36,841
Thank you.
How do you plead?
311
00:29:39,721 --> 00:29:44,361
Every person I shot deserved it.
Every one of them.
312
00:29:44,561 --> 00:29:49,681
I don't recognise this court. I helped
this country against terrorists.
313
00:29:49,841 --> 00:29:53,961
- This is the thanks I get? Communism...
- Mr Steffensen.
314
00:29:54,121 --> 00:29:57,641
Thank you. This court is not
a place for speeches.
315
00:29:57,801 --> 00:30:02,121
So... You plead not guilty?
316
00:30:06,401 --> 00:30:10,161
Good. Thank you.
The court orders -
317
00:30:10,321 --> 00:30:16,161
- that the accused
be remanded for four weeks.
318
00:30:25,561 --> 00:30:27,961
You're home.
319
00:30:28,121 --> 00:30:31,641
- For now at least.
- Welcome home.
320
00:30:31,801 --> 00:30:35,681
At least until the trial starts.
There's a long backlog.
321
00:30:35,841 --> 00:30:38,281
- Cheers, Dad.
- Cheers.
322
00:30:40,401 --> 00:30:45,561
Being "at liberty" is definitely
not the same as being "acquitted".
323
00:30:45,721 --> 00:30:50,241
But Annelise is making
mashed potatoes with ham.
324
00:30:50,401 --> 00:30:52,641
Did they feed you in there?
325
00:30:52,801 --> 00:30:56,881
Their food can't be worse than
what we've been getting here.
326
00:30:58,081 --> 00:31:01,121
It's almost worse
than during the war.
327
00:31:01,281 --> 00:31:04,881
We've been eating a lot of porridge,
haven't we?
328
00:31:05,001 --> 00:31:09,841
Does anyone know how Aksel is doing?
329
00:31:09,961 --> 00:31:16,881
He's doing a lot of work for the party,
so we don't see a lot of him.
330
00:31:17,841 --> 00:31:21,361
Well...
I'll go upstairs and take a bath.
331
00:31:21,561 --> 00:31:25,161
I think a lot of people
would appreciate that.
332
00:31:25,321 --> 00:31:29,081
Could you get us
some extra ration coupons?
333
00:31:29,241 --> 00:31:33,001
Mostly for foodstuffs,
but we also need soap.
334
00:31:33,161 --> 00:31:39,041
Right... I'm not sure
there's anything I can do anymore.
335
00:31:39,201 --> 00:31:44,241
- But I'll do my best.
- You always do, Mr Skov.
336
00:32:18,801 --> 00:32:21,081
Eva?
337
00:32:44,121 --> 00:32:48,601
- It could be concrete...
- It must be.
338
00:32:48,761 --> 00:32:50,441
Wow...
339
00:32:51,721 --> 00:32:55,161
It's wonderful to see you again, Sara.
340
00:32:55,321 --> 00:32:58,801
You as well, Mr Skov.
341
00:32:58,961 --> 00:33:02,561
We're all back together.
Just like in the old days.
342
00:33:02,721 --> 00:33:07,601
Does it feel good to be back
in your own home?
343
00:33:07,761 --> 00:33:12,881
Well, some strangers seem to have
moved into my flat, so...
344
00:33:13,001 --> 00:33:15,761
I'm staying with a friend
at the moment.
345
00:33:15,921 --> 00:33:20,841
We'll go to the police together.
And the municipality.
346
00:33:20,961 --> 00:33:26,881
You have to do something.
You need to get your flat back.
347
00:33:27,001 --> 00:33:31,121
You need a proper place to live
now we're starting back up.
348
00:33:36,641 --> 00:33:39,881
- It looks great.
- Look!
349
00:33:41,161 --> 00:33:45,241
- I'm so happy for you.
- It looks great, Lennart.
350
00:33:48,761 --> 00:33:52,921
- Hello.
- Sorry we're late. Let's get started.
351
00:33:53,041 --> 00:33:56,921
- Sounds good.
- Hello, everyone.
352
00:33:59,241 --> 00:34:03,801
Okay, Helene,
I need your help with something.
353
00:34:12,721 --> 00:34:15,401
That one might be too small...
354
00:34:27,841 --> 00:34:29,961
Perfect.
355
00:35:11,961 --> 00:35:16,801
The company will have to rebuild
the factory at its own expense.
356
00:35:16,961 --> 00:35:22,321
We'll probably have to look
for some new investors.
357
00:35:23,561 --> 00:35:26,721
I'd like to help you with it.
358
00:35:26,881 --> 00:35:29,961
Thank you.
But do you even have time?
359
00:35:30,121 --> 00:35:34,401
- What about the ministry?
- I'm leaving the ministry.
360
00:35:34,601 --> 00:35:36,601
- Excuse me?
- Yes...
361
00:35:36,761 --> 00:35:40,961
My expertise is better spent
in the private sector.
362
00:35:41,081 --> 00:35:44,041
So, I'm looking for new challenges.
363
00:35:45,601 --> 00:35:50,401
As it happens,
this means I'm free to help you.
364
00:35:50,601 --> 00:35:56,961
Well, that's excellent news.
Pardon my bluntness -
365
00:35:57,081 --> 00:36:02,721
- but would you like to be chairman
of Elektrona's board of directors?
366
00:36:02,881 --> 00:36:06,881
Yes, there's an idea.
367
00:36:07,921 --> 00:36:10,081
I'll start tomorrow.
368
00:36:10,241 --> 00:36:13,601
Sten, I'm so happy to hear that.
369
00:36:13,761 --> 00:36:17,841
- Think nothing of it, my friend.
- Well, let's...
370
00:36:20,881 --> 00:36:24,961
If Sten can really get those investors -
371
00:36:25,121 --> 00:36:30,001
- we can start Elektrona back up
in no time.
372
00:36:31,281 --> 00:36:33,961
You understand
what I'm telling you?
373
00:36:35,281 --> 00:36:40,161
You seem completely uninterested
in what I'm saying.
374
00:36:40,321 --> 00:36:44,321
Well, that's because I am uninterested.
375
00:36:44,481 --> 00:36:48,961
If Elektrona goes bust,
what will we live on?
376
00:36:49,081 --> 00:36:53,281
I don't care, Karl.
I don't care.
377
00:36:54,721 --> 00:36:58,921
You have no idea how I'm feeling.
378
00:36:59,041 --> 00:37:04,681
You never ask. Elektrona
is all you talk and think about.
379
00:37:04,841 --> 00:37:08,361
I promise you,
there's a lot to think about.
380
00:37:10,161 --> 00:37:13,561
I've lost a son.
381
00:37:13,721 --> 00:37:17,881
I don't have any friends.
I don't have a life.
382
00:37:19,761 --> 00:37:24,801
The only place I can breathe is in
Sweden. I can't even go outside here.
383
00:37:24,961 --> 00:37:31,601
Here, I'm just the collaborator's wife.
And if you tell me it'll pass -
384
00:37:31,761 --> 00:37:35,721
- I'll throw this glass in your face.
385
00:37:35,881 --> 00:37:38,401
Understand?
386
00:37:39,481 --> 00:37:43,001
I'm sorry. I'm sorry...
387
00:37:43,161 --> 00:37:46,801
I also did it for us, all right?
I can...
388
00:37:46,961 --> 00:37:50,641
Don't touch me.
389
00:37:50,801 --> 00:37:56,161
I can't take it anymore.
I don't want this anymore. Understand?
390
00:38:00,641 --> 00:38:04,961
What don't you want anymore?
391
00:38:05,961 --> 00:38:09,241
Is it me you don't want anymore...?
392
00:38:10,361 --> 00:38:12,361
Is that it?
393
00:38:13,401 --> 00:38:18,001
Is there something I don't know?
Something you're not telling me?
394
00:38:19,681 --> 00:38:24,601
- What's with you?
- There isn't anything with me.
395
00:38:28,081 --> 00:38:30,361
Well...
396
00:38:30,561 --> 00:38:33,561
Is there someone else?
397
00:38:43,401 --> 00:38:46,681
- Is it anyone I know?
- He's an artist.
398
00:38:46,841 --> 00:38:49,961
I met him at Agnes's house.
399
00:38:50,081 --> 00:38:53,041
He was there to paint her portrait.
400
00:38:53,201 --> 00:38:57,361
We've been writing to each other
and spoken on the phone.
401
00:38:58,801 --> 00:39:01,561
And something has happened between us.
402
00:39:11,241 --> 00:39:15,841
So...
What's your plan, then?
403
00:39:19,401 --> 00:39:23,601
- You want to leave and be with him?
- No, I don't.
404
00:39:23,761 --> 00:39:26,561
Not in that sense...
405
00:39:28,001 --> 00:39:30,881
Or maybe that is what I want.
406
00:39:39,561 --> 00:39:45,361
Then I suggest you ask your father
to find a good lawyer -
407
00:39:45,561 --> 00:39:49,361
- so we can settle this properly.
408
00:39:52,201 --> 00:39:55,401
I'll sleep in Valdemar's room.
409
00:40:22,361 --> 00:40:26,481
- Do you need help, Mrs Skov?
- Yes, please, Annelise.
410
00:40:33,321 --> 00:40:37,321
I don't know
if I'm doing the right thing.
411
00:40:38,601 --> 00:40:40,721
Right.
412
00:40:40,881 --> 00:40:45,041
I've rented a nice apartment
close to the harbour.
413
00:40:45,201 --> 00:40:47,961
I guess we'll see if we can get along.
414
00:40:49,401 --> 00:40:51,401
He's moving in?
415
00:40:51,601 --> 00:40:55,721
Yes, he's living in a tiny room
in a boarding house.
416
00:40:55,881 --> 00:40:58,921
He's an artist after all.
417
00:40:59,041 --> 00:41:02,561
So we're also looking
for a studio for him.
418
00:41:03,721 --> 00:41:06,801
We're going to miss you, Mrs Skov.
419
00:41:15,201 --> 00:41:17,961
Would you like another one of those?
420
00:41:35,601 --> 00:41:39,761
- Aksel... It's so good to see you.
- You as well.
421
00:41:39,921 --> 00:41:43,601
- I'm so glad you came.
- Thanks for inviting me.
422
00:41:43,761 --> 00:41:46,961
- Doesn't it look good?
- Yes, it looks great.
423
00:41:48,921 --> 00:41:52,241
- Did you see who else is here?
- No.
424
00:41:52,401 --> 00:41:54,721
Look over there.
425
00:42:00,041 --> 00:42:02,481
What's he doing here?
426
00:42:02,681 --> 00:42:05,841
He's the one who paid for it all.
427
00:42:08,281 --> 00:42:11,441
How is he doing?
428
00:42:11,641 --> 00:42:15,561
It's...
It's not easy for him right now.
429
00:42:19,961 --> 00:42:23,961
Maybe the two of you
should try to talk to each other?
430
00:42:24,121 --> 00:42:27,721
- No...
- Aksel? I'm so happy to see you.
431
00:42:27,881 --> 00:42:31,721
Congratulations, Britta.
The place looks incredible.
432
00:42:31,881 --> 00:42:37,201
You've done so well.
Knud would have been so proud of you.
433
00:42:51,361 --> 00:42:54,401
Thank you all for being here tonight -
434
00:42:54,601 --> 00:42:59,041
- at the opening of Copenhagen's
first real jazz club: Stardust.
435
00:43:02,961 --> 00:43:05,801
Doesn't the place look good?
436
00:43:05,961 --> 00:43:09,961
It wouldn't have been possible
without financial support.
437
00:43:10,121 --> 00:43:13,721
So give a big round of applause
for Karl Skov.
438
00:43:32,761 --> 00:43:36,361
Once again,
we're standing next to a casket.
439
00:43:36,561 --> 00:43:41,161
Another comrade gave the biggest
thing a person has to give.
440
00:43:42,321 --> 00:43:46,921
Took up arms and gave her life -
441
00:43:47,041 --> 00:43:50,121
- fighting for our freedom.
442
00:43:52,241 --> 00:43:56,161
The woman lying here is just one -
443
00:43:56,321 --> 00:43:59,681
- among the army of women,
who helped ensure -
444
00:43:59,841 --> 00:44:03,601
- that we stand here today
in our free Denmark.
445
00:44:03,761 --> 00:44:07,121
And with the hope of a better future.
446
00:44:09,681 --> 00:44:13,361
Honoured be her memory.
447
00:44:16,041 --> 00:44:18,401
Thank you, Liva.
448
00:44:19,921 --> 00:44:23,281
Thank you, good comrade.
449
00:44:29,761 --> 00:44:32,601
My condolences.
450
00:44:55,041 --> 00:44:58,961
That's what I call a general election.
451
00:44:59,121 --> 00:45:02,921
18 mandates,
all taken from the Social Democrats.
452
00:45:03,041 --> 00:45:07,481
Who's the workers' party now, eh?
453
00:45:07,681 --> 00:45:12,921
We'll take down the whole house
at the next election. Are you with us?
454
00:45:13,041 --> 00:45:16,201
- Yes.
- Cheers to that.
455
00:45:20,281 --> 00:45:25,641
I was wondering, now that we
have to hand in our weapons -
456
00:45:25,801 --> 00:45:29,761
- wouldn't you like to continue
to work for the party?
457
00:45:29,921 --> 00:45:36,921
Sure. If I can do it alongside
my university studies.
458
00:45:37,041 --> 00:45:40,761
Would you like to go to Stockholm?
459
00:45:41,721 --> 00:45:44,801
- Sure.
- Good.
460
00:46:06,401 --> 00:46:12,161
Why not sing on the stage?
You're great. What are you afraid of?
461
00:46:12,321 --> 00:46:16,801
- I'm not afraid.
- The microphone is right there.
462
00:46:16,961 --> 00:46:20,201
- Here she comes.
- Yeah.
463
00:46:24,161 --> 00:46:26,241
- Okay.
- From where?
464
00:46:26,401 --> 00:46:28,401
One, two...
465
00:46:43,881 --> 00:46:45,881
Yeah!
466
00:47:07,001 --> 00:47:09,121
Hey. Wait a second.
467
00:47:10,321 --> 00:47:14,721
- Hey. Good to see you.
- Pleasure.
468
00:47:14,881 --> 00:47:17,681
- Welcome. This is Stardust.
- Thank you.
469
00:47:17,841 --> 00:47:23,201
- This is Britta. She's the boss.
- Hello. Valdemar said you were coming.
470
00:47:23,361 --> 00:47:27,041
- Welcome.
- Thank you. This is fantastic.
471
00:47:27,201 --> 00:47:29,881
- Please, come with me.
- Thank you.
472
00:47:31,601 --> 00:47:36,481
I know Valdemar
almost promised you a job here.
473
00:47:36,681 --> 00:47:42,641
- You're from New York?
- Harlem. But I was born in Alabama.
474
00:47:44,321 --> 00:47:47,201
I can't offer anything long-term -
475
00:47:47,361 --> 00:47:53,041
- but maybe we can
try it out for a while and see?
476
00:47:53,201 --> 00:47:55,481
Yeah. I'll take it.
477
00:47:55,681 --> 00:47:59,641
Well, let's see
how Copenhagen likes you.
478
00:47:59,801 --> 00:48:02,761
And one, two, one, two, three, four.
479
00:49:21,921 --> 00:49:25,161
COMMUNISTS ORGANISE STRIKES
AND SOW CHAOS
480
00:49:37,321 --> 00:49:40,121
Need a light?
481
00:49:40,281 --> 00:49:42,241
Yes, please.
482
00:49:53,121 --> 00:49:55,841
- Thank you.
- No trouble.
483
00:49:58,121 --> 00:50:01,161
Do you know if the train is late?
484
00:50:02,441 --> 00:50:06,281
No, we should be in Stockholm on time.
485
00:50:06,441 --> 00:50:08,481
Thanks.
486
00:50:27,001 --> 00:50:32,361
Hello. I have a wool suit
set aside. Size 50.
487
00:50:32,561 --> 00:50:35,081
Size 50?
488
00:50:36,281 --> 00:50:38,721
This way.
489
00:50:43,601 --> 00:50:45,641
Thank you.
490
00:51:36,801 --> 00:51:39,401
- Come in.
- Thanks.
491
00:51:44,721 --> 00:51:47,601
Give me the jacket.
492
00:52:03,241 --> 00:52:05,881
Yes...
493
00:52:06,801 --> 00:52:11,881
This is what you've risked
your good name and reputation for.
494
00:52:18,601 --> 00:52:22,041
- Good work.
- Thanks.
495
00:52:32,841 --> 00:52:35,321
- Good night.
- Get home safely.
496
00:52:35,481 --> 00:52:37,841
Good night.
Take care, all right?
497
00:52:37,961 --> 00:52:40,961
Will you tell Dad
I'm sleeping at Britta's?
498
00:52:41,081 --> 00:52:44,761
- I will. Good night.
- Good night.
499
00:52:44,921 --> 00:52:47,681
- A beer, please.
- Certainly.
500
00:52:49,321 --> 00:52:52,001
Can I buy you one?
501
00:52:52,161 --> 00:52:55,161
- Yes, please.
- One more. Thanks.
502
00:52:56,401 --> 00:53:00,961
Congratulations on
Ove Steffensen's death sentence.
503
00:53:01,081 --> 00:53:06,201
They'll appeal the verdict to
the High Court and the Supreme Court.
504
00:53:06,361 --> 00:53:11,041
I've heard no judges are
willing to sentence him to death.
505
00:53:11,201 --> 00:53:15,361
Let's wait and see.
Sometimes things go awry.
506
00:53:16,601 --> 00:53:20,361
There was a liquidation
in Skovlunde in the spring of '43.
507
00:53:20,561 --> 00:53:24,401
An innocent schoolteacher.
Know anything about it?
508
00:53:25,761 --> 00:53:30,561
- There were a lot of liquidations.
- What are you insinuating?
509
00:53:30,721 --> 00:53:35,041
You petty middle-class bitch.
Are you working right now?
510
00:53:35,201 --> 00:53:39,561
- Let's go home. Stop it.
- Nasty cow.
511
00:53:39,721 --> 00:53:43,601
- It's not a big deal.
- Why did you come here?
512
00:53:49,801 --> 00:53:53,561
Didn't you take part
in Ove Steffensen's capture?
513
00:53:53,721 --> 00:53:56,641
- Yes.
- Well done.
514
00:53:56,801 --> 00:54:00,041
Was it your and Aksel's group?
515
00:54:00,201 --> 00:54:04,401
Do you know anything
about the liquidation in Skovlunde?
516
00:54:04,601 --> 00:54:08,961
His wife has provided
descriptions of the perpetrators -
517
00:54:09,121 --> 00:54:13,361
- but they could fit
a lot of young gentlemen.
518
00:54:36,641 --> 00:54:39,201
What is that?
519
00:54:40,361 --> 00:54:44,681
It's what I like to call
"the sweetness of life".
520
00:54:46,081 --> 00:54:49,561
Did you really play with Charlie Parker?
521
00:54:49,721 --> 00:54:53,201
Yeah, I've played with Bird.
522
00:54:53,361 --> 00:54:58,961
But then... Sorry,
but why did you come here?
523
00:54:59,121 --> 00:55:03,321
It's the classic story.
I ran out of money.
524
00:55:04,481 --> 00:55:08,241
Heartbreak.
Then I took the Jimmie Lunceford train -
525
00:55:08,401 --> 00:55:13,241
- all the way down to Europe,
and now I'm here.
526
00:55:19,121 --> 00:55:22,361
What does it do?
527
00:55:24,321 --> 00:55:27,041
Do you want to try?
528
00:55:40,481 --> 00:55:43,201
I don't feel anything.
529
00:55:45,841 --> 00:55:48,721
Try again.
530
00:55:50,961 --> 00:55:54,721
No, okay, no...
Easy, boy!
531
00:55:56,721 --> 00:55:58,601
I want to smoke.
532
00:56:00,721 --> 00:56:02,841
Come in.
533
00:56:03,881 --> 00:56:06,561
You wanted to talk to me?
534
00:56:10,721 --> 00:56:13,721
Have you seen this?
535
00:56:15,881 --> 00:56:19,041
COLLABORATOR'S SON BEHIND
MURDER OF INNOCENT MAN?
536
00:56:19,201 --> 00:56:23,441
- It's that Faber woman.
- Have you spoken to her?
537
00:56:23,641 --> 00:56:25,881
I didn't say anything.
538
00:56:26,001 --> 00:56:30,641
They want to turn the public
against us. To cut us down to size.
539
00:56:30,801 --> 00:56:32,801
My group wouldn't squeal.
540
00:56:32,961 --> 00:56:36,721
- That story will die down.
- I bloody-well hope so.
541
00:56:39,961 --> 00:56:44,721
COPENHAGEN CITY COURT
542
00:56:44,881 --> 00:56:48,641
If you hadn't followed
the government's request -
543
00:56:48,801 --> 00:56:54,441
- to work for the Germans, what
would it have meant for your employees?
544
00:56:54,641 --> 00:56:59,401
I'd have had to close the factory,
which would have left them unemployed.
545
00:56:59,601 --> 00:57:02,481
They might have had
to find work in Germany.
546
00:57:02,681 --> 00:57:05,561
The products manufactured
in Elektrona -
547
00:57:05,721 --> 00:57:11,281
- were becoming increasingly specialised
and meant for military use.
548
00:57:11,441 --> 00:57:16,841
- Did that never cross your mind?
- Yes, of course.
549
00:57:16,961 --> 00:57:21,721
But at that point I wasn't in charge
of my own factory anymore.
550
00:57:21,881 --> 00:57:24,121
How did that happen?
551
00:57:24,281 --> 00:57:30,081
Well, the Germans set up
their own factory within my factory.
552
00:57:30,241 --> 00:57:36,761
I wasn't allowed in, so my knowledge
of what went on inside was limited.
553
00:57:36,921 --> 00:57:41,281
Why do you suppose the state
approved all your contracts?
554
00:57:41,441 --> 00:57:44,041
For the good of Denmark.
555
00:57:44,201 --> 00:57:49,801
It was the only way we could get copper,
iron and other raw materials.
556
00:57:49,961 --> 00:57:55,961
So in your opinion, Elektrona's business
was helpful to the country's situation?
557
00:57:56,121 --> 00:57:59,001
Yes, without a doubt.
558
00:57:59,961 --> 00:58:02,281
I have no further questions.
559
00:58:04,001 --> 00:58:09,961
You must have known you were delivering
highly specialised components -
560
00:58:10,081 --> 00:58:15,361
- to the Nazi war machine?
No one could have been ignorant of that.
561
00:58:15,561 --> 00:58:21,161
As I've already stated, we undertook
collaboration with the Germans -
562
00:58:21,321 --> 00:58:25,761
- at the request of Denmark's
democratically elected government.
563
00:58:25,921 --> 00:58:30,281
So you were aware of it,
but you lived with it?
564
00:58:30,441 --> 00:58:35,321
I'm being lectured on this
by a member of a political party -
565
00:58:35,481 --> 00:58:39,601
- that sided with Germany
from August 1939 to June 1941.
566
00:58:39,761 --> 00:58:43,921
I'll ask the defendant
to refrain from politicising.
567
00:58:44,041 --> 00:58:47,281
- Please just answer the questions.
- Right.
568
00:58:47,441 --> 00:58:51,321
In 1942, you applied for permission -
569
00:58:51,481 --> 00:58:55,841
- to set up a new branch
of Elektrona in the Baltics.
570
00:58:55,961 --> 00:59:00,001
- This was approved, correct?
- Yes.
571
00:59:00,161 --> 00:59:05,361
Please tell the court why you decided
not to use this permission.
572
00:59:05,561 --> 00:59:09,401
I was told it would be run
with slave labour.
573
00:59:09,601 --> 00:59:12,241
Well, that sounds almost idealistic.
574
00:59:13,281 --> 00:59:16,481
You don't mind delivering
parts for bombs -
575
00:59:16,681 --> 00:59:21,481
- that can kill women and children,
as long as they're not made by slaves.
576
00:59:21,681 --> 00:59:26,721
As I've stated several times,
we undertook the collaboration...
577
00:59:26,881 --> 00:59:32,281
First democrat, then idealist,
then conscientious citizen -
578
00:59:32,441 --> 00:59:36,921
- then collaborator and traitor.
There's a lot to keep track of.
579
00:59:37,041 --> 00:59:42,841
I'll ask the prosecutor to refrain from
politicising. Please just ask questions.
580
00:59:42,961 --> 00:59:46,001
With the court's permission...
581
00:59:47,161 --> 00:59:51,121
... I'd like to show the defendant
this photograph.
582
00:59:51,281 --> 00:59:54,961
This photograph shows the defendant -
583
00:59:55,121 --> 01:00:00,641
- beside the German Minister of
Armaments' right-hand man, Dr Koch.
584
01:00:01,801 --> 01:00:05,921
You look so happy
in this photo, almost giddy.
585
01:00:06,041 --> 01:00:10,961
I wonder what outstanding idealistic
qualities you're talking about?
586
01:00:11,121 --> 01:00:13,841
I couldn't tell you.
587
01:00:15,041 --> 01:00:17,841
You look tired, Mr Skov.
588
01:00:20,201 --> 01:00:26,041
Would you like a break?
Should we ask the court for a recess?
589
01:00:27,161 --> 01:00:29,401
Not for my sake.
590
01:00:31,041 --> 01:00:37,561
After a skilled resistance group
blew up the factory on 3 February 1945 -
591
01:00:37,721 --> 01:00:43,481
- the accounts show a large payment
from the Wehrmacht on 2 March.
592
01:00:43,681 --> 01:00:47,481
Mrs Meyer, was there
anything left to sell at all?
593
01:00:47,681 --> 01:00:49,641
No.
594
01:00:49,801 --> 01:00:52,561
Well, yes, there was.
595
01:00:52,721 --> 01:00:56,961
All the inventions
that had been made at the factory.
596
01:00:57,121 --> 01:01:00,401
The ones developed by our engineers.
597
01:01:00,601 --> 01:01:03,881
Mostly those relating to radio waves.
598
01:01:04,001 --> 01:01:09,481
Like the sonar
used by the allied forces.
599
01:01:09,681 --> 01:01:12,961
That's what we were able to monetise.
600
01:01:13,081 --> 01:01:19,561
So you possessed certain inventions
that could render the German navy -
601
01:01:19,721 --> 01:01:24,761
- more effective during
the last months of the war?
602
01:01:25,921 --> 01:01:30,841
Of course the Germans were aware
that you possessed these inventions?
603
01:01:31,721 --> 01:01:36,161
No. I clearly remember
Mr Skov telling me -
604
01:01:36,321 --> 01:01:42,641
- that he contacted them himself to see
if they might be interested in them.
605
01:01:42,801 --> 01:01:48,041
We needed the money
to rebuild the factory.
606
01:01:48,201 --> 01:01:51,321
And you heard him say this?
607
01:01:51,481 --> 01:01:53,401
Pardon?
608
01:01:53,601 --> 01:01:57,481
Was it Mr Skov himself
who contacted the Germans?
609
01:01:57,681 --> 01:01:59,481
Yes.
610
01:02:00,961 --> 01:02:03,281
Completely unsolicited?
611
01:02:03,441 --> 01:02:05,801
Yes.
612
01:02:10,281 --> 01:02:13,401
I have no further questions.
613
01:02:16,361 --> 01:02:20,121
Gösta is simply hilarious.
614
01:02:21,561 --> 01:02:27,361
You won't believe it. I haven't
laughed this much since I was 17.
615
01:02:27,561 --> 01:02:30,081
He's such an interesting artist.
616
01:02:30,241 --> 01:02:33,761
And just imagine, he loves me.
617
01:02:33,921 --> 01:02:36,601
He can't keep his hands off me.
618
01:02:36,761 --> 01:02:40,481
Mum, maybe you don't
have to tell me everything.
619
01:02:40,681 --> 01:02:46,401
Right, but aren't you happy your mum
has found someone who loves her?
620
01:02:46,601 --> 01:02:49,441
Now you won't have to worry about me.
621
01:02:49,641 --> 01:02:52,961
You should find someone
who loves you, too.
622
01:02:53,121 --> 01:02:57,361
- Being alone is so sad.
- How's Dad taking it?
623
01:03:00,641 --> 01:03:05,761
This coffee is a tad too bitter
for my tastes.
624
01:03:05,921 --> 01:03:09,441
- What are your plans, Aksel?
- Well...
625
01:03:09,641 --> 01:03:14,041
- I've returned to my studies.
- That's wonderful.
626
01:03:14,201 --> 01:03:16,801
And your Communist Party?
627
01:03:16,961 --> 01:03:20,361
I just do the odd job for them.
628
01:03:20,561 --> 01:03:26,401
There's no real future for you
in that endeavour anyway.
629
01:03:28,601 --> 01:03:31,841
Don't you ever wear suits, Aksel?
630
01:03:33,201 --> 01:03:37,081
You would look so smart in a suit.
631
01:03:40,801 --> 01:03:43,041
Walther?
632
01:03:48,161 --> 01:03:51,281
Let's just go in.
633
01:03:54,241 --> 01:03:56,881
Oh, it's you?
634
01:03:57,001 --> 01:04:00,401
Your wife called, crying and upset.
635
01:04:00,601 --> 01:04:04,841
- I've kicked her and the kids out.
- Damn it, Walther.
636
01:04:04,961 --> 01:04:09,321
Long live the Communist
murder squad, eh?
637
01:04:11,001 --> 01:04:13,401
The war is over, Walther.
638
01:04:13,601 --> 01:04:17,801
- We tried to do what needed to be done.
- Tell that to the widow.
639
01:04:17,961 --> 01:04:21,401
Let's tidy up and make a cup of coffee.
640
01:04:21,601 --> 01:04:26,561
- I'm not having any coffee.
- Yes, you are, Walther.
641
01:04:26,721 --> 01:04:31,281
While walking in Moscow,
Stalin notices a long queue.
642
01:04:31,441 --> 01:04:35,841
He asks the person at the end:
"What are you queueing for?"
643
01:04:35,961 --> 01:04:39,321
The man turns around
and says: "I don't know."
644
01:04:39,481 --> 01:04:43,681
"I saw a queue for nothing
and thought it must be important."
645
01:04:43,841 --> 01:04:46,961
Stalin nods
and smiles with satisfaction.
646
01:04:47,121 --> 01:04:51,561
Then he says: "Good.
You've understood the party line."
647
01:04:53,201 --> 01:04:57,601
- Come on, Walther. It's funny.
- Sure.
648
01:04:59,761 --> 01:05:04,481
This press campaign about
the liquidations will fizzle out.
649
01:05:07,961 --> 01:05:10,881
Børge sends his regards.
650
01:05:11,001 --> 01:05:14,401
He can get you a job
with the party newspaper.
651
01:05:14,601 --> 01:05:19,801
You can start tomorrow if you'd like.
Just go talk to him at the paper.
652
01:05:19,961 --> 01:05:22,001
Okay.
653
01:05:24,041 --> 01:05:26,681
Thanks for coming.
654
01:05:26,841 --> 01:05:28,841
I appreciate it.
655
01:05:28,961 --> 01:05:33,561
No trouble. We have
to look out for each other, right?
656
01:05:33,721 --> 01:05:37,441
- Take care, Walther.
- Yeah. You too.
657
01:05:55,641 --> 01:06:00,681
Gunnar had a brother
who worked as a smith at Elektrona.
658
01:06:00,841 --> 01:06:03,801
He was in a death march
at the end of the war -
659
01:06:03,961 --> 01:06:07,601
- when the Germans
tried to cover their tracks.
660
01:06:10,001 --> 01:06:12,281
Just a moment.
661
01:06:18,441 --> 01:06:21,961
- Is there a problem?
- Yes. It's...
662
01:06:23,361 --> 01:06:25,961
It's Walther.
663
01:06:26,121 --> 01:06:29,361
He...
664
01:06:30,481 --> 01:06:33,321
... shot himself.
665
01:06:38,641 --> 01:06:41,761
I'll call Walther's wife.
666
01:06:42,961 --> 01:06:47,001
He was a good man, Aksel.
He was.
667
01:06:47,161 --> 01:06:50,961
This damned war.
668
01:06:52,601 --> 01:06:55,281
It feels as if...
669
01:06:55,441 --> 01:06:58,961
... it's never going to end.
670
01:06:59,121 --> 01:07:02,001
And that woman...
671
01:07:02,161 --> 01:07:06,001
That journalist.
She just keeps going.
672
01:07:07,561 --> 01:07:09,281
Yes?
673
01:07:14,241 --> 01:07:17,681
- Good day, Mr Holm.
- Petersen. Have a seat.
674
01:07:17,841 --> 01:07:21,001
I'd like to suggest a collaboration.
675
01:07:21,161 --> 01:07:24,041
Conservative views
are a long way from yours.
676
01:07:24,201 --> 01:07:28,121
The press is bringing up mistakes
made by the Resistance -
677
01:07:28,281 --> 01:07:30,801
- and blowing them out of proportion.
678
01:07:30,961 --> 01:07:34,681
The war is over,
and such news stories should be too.
679
01:07:34,841 --> 01:07:38,401
But we don't have the ear
of the conservative press.
680
01:07:38,601 --> 01:07:44,801
Well, we have freedom of the press
in this country, unlike Stalin's regime.
681
01:07:44,961 --> 01:07:50,601
As far as I remember, the conservative
resistance had its own missteps.
682
01:07:53,841 --> 01:07:57,361
I'll try to drop a few hints
here and there.
683
01:07:58,561 --> 01:08:01,841
Thank you.
684
01:08:03,961 --> 01:08:07,641
Unfortunately,
we have a serious problem, Karl.
685
01:08:07,801 --> 01:08:10,561
Aside from the case, that is.
686
01:08:10,721 --> 01:08:13,241
Out with it.
687
01:08:13,401 --> 01:08:18,961
Elektrona hasn't really resumed
production after the damages.
688
01:08:19,121 --> 01:08:23,641
The only positive is that
the engineers are developing -
689
01:08:23,801 --> 01:08:27,561
- your patents for
the new range of products.
690
01:08:27,721 --> 01:08:31,641
As we still haven't been able
to find new investors -
691
01:08:31,801 --> 01:08:38,081
- you might have to post more
of your own funds into the factory.
692
01:08:38,241 --> 01:08:41,961
But, Stig, I don't have any funds.
693
01:08:42,121 --> 01:08:46,321
- You don't have anything set aside?
- No, it's all gone.
694
01:08:46,481 --> 01:08:50,081
The insurance company short-changed us
on the rebuild.
695
01:08:50,241 --> 01:08:54,361
I've given money to Britta
for the jazz club.
696
01:08:54,561 --> 01:08:59,481
And it's going to be quite expensive
to buy out Eva.
697
01:08:59,681 --> 01:09:02,641
Surely the factory's separate property?
698
01:09:02,801 --> 01:09:09,361
No. Well, yes and no. But I don't have
the kind of money you're talking about.
699
01:09:09,561 --> 01:09:12,881
I don't have any reserves left.
700
01:09:13,001 --> 01:09:16,721
You don't have anything to sell off?
701
01:09:16,881 --> 01:09:21,641
No, the car wouldn't...
I don't know.. No.
702
01:09:22,721 --> 01:09:25,641
Why not sell the house?
703
01:09:27,001 --> 01:09:29,921
What do you need all that space for now?
704
01:09:31,761 --> 01:09:34,321
It's their childhood home.
705
01:09:35,401 --> 01:09:37,841
Yes, well...
706
01:09:37,961 --> 01:09:41,761
The children are grown.
Eva is moving out.
707
01:09:41,921 --> 01:09:45,601
You can't sit in that house
all by yourself.
708
01:09:52,561 --> 01:09:56,241
You've always really liked this.
709
01:09:56,401 --> 01:09:58,881
Yes, I'll take that with me.
710
01:10:00,841 --> 01:10:06,761
There's a buyer coming by to look
at the household effects later today -
711
01:10:06,921 --> 01:10:12,761
- so if there's anything of sentimental
value to you, let me know.
712
01:10:14,681 --> 01:10:19,441
I think it'll be good
to get rid of this old house.
713
01:10:22,201 --> 01:10:24,801
Well...
714
01:10:24,961 --> 01:10:28,321
No, I'll take it.
No, no, no....
715
01:10:30,321 --> 01:10:32,361
Oh dear.
716
01:10:38,721 --> 01:10:40,921
I've got it.
717
01:10:47,881 --> 01:10:50,721
- Gösta Landén.
- Skov.
718
01:10:51,921 --> 01:10:57,081
There's a bronze bust in the hall.
Would you fetch it?
719
01:11:00,961 --> 01:11:03,881
He has an eye for cars.
720
01:11:04,001 --> 01:11:07,361
Oh, I actually bought that.
721
01:11:07,561 --> 01:11:11,761
- But you don't have a driving licence.
- No, but Gösta does.
722
01:11:11,921 --> 01:11:15,721
I'm good at sitting
in the passenger seat.
723
01:11:18,041 --> 01:11:22,321
- Take care of yourself.
- You too, Karl.
724
01:11:29,121 --> 01:11:31,121
There you go.
725
01:11:32,921 --> 01:11:35,561
And this.
726
01:11:49,441 --> 01:11:51,441
The Court's judgment is -
727
01:11:51,641 --> 01:11:56,121
- that Karl Orla Skov is sentenced
to four years in prison.
728
01:11:56,281 --> 01:12:00,881
300,000 kroner of the defendant's
earnings shall be confiscated -
729
01:12:01,001 --> 01:12:04,801
- and the defendant shall pay
the court costs.
730
01:13:48,641 --> 01:13:50,841
USSR REJECTS THE US NUCLEAR PLAN
731
01:14:00,001 --> 01:14:03,441
- Allow me.
- Thanks.
732
01:14:09,121 --> 01:14:12,001
Everything all right, Aksel?
733
01:14:12,161 --> 01:14:17,881
They're on to me. They're tailing me
constantly on both sides of the Sound.
734
01:14:18,001 --> 01:14:21,441
They'll get me next time.
735
01:14:21,641 --> 01:14:24,881
You'll take a short break.
No problem.
736
01:14:25,001 --> 01:14:30,401
No, I need to stop completely.
This isn't good for me.
737
01:14:30,601 --> 01:14:34,441
What's the matter with you, Aksel?
Are you ill?
738
01:14:34,641 --> 01:14:37,321
No. No...
739
01:14:39,201 --> 01:14:42,441
I don't know.
I don't sleep much...
740
01:14:44,041 --> 01:14:48,361
I'm not doing very well, I think.
But...
741
01:14:48,561 --> 01:14:52,081
You're not starting
to doubt the cause, are you?
742
01:14:52,241 --> 01:14:58,161
It's more important than ever that
we remain united and trust in the cause.
743
01:14:58,321 --> 01:15:04,281
Aren't you at all worried about
what's going on in Czechoslovakia?
744
01:15:04,441 --> 01:15:08,281
Their National Front
has nothing to do with democracy.
745
01:15:08,441 --> 01:15:12,881
Don't let yourself be taken in
by conservative propaganda.
746
01:15:13,001 --> 01:15:19,081
The communists in Czechoslovakia
and Denmark support democracy.
747
01:15:19,241 --> 01:15:23,441
There are disagreements,
fighting and insurrection -
748
01:15:23,641 --> 01:15:27,121
- because people want
something different and better.
749
01:15:27,281 --> 01:15:30,601
That's exactly what
democracy is all about.
750
01:15:30,761 --> 01:15:33,641
- Do you understand?
- Yes.
751
01:15:35,841 --> 01:15:39,121
This concludes the hearing.
752
01:15:41,561 --> 01:15:45,001
COURT OF APPEAL
753
01:15:45,161 --> 01:15:48,721
The court will adjourn
to consider its judgment.
754
01:15:48,881 --> 01:15:52,321
I humbly ask the court
to show mercy on my son.
755
01:15:53,881 --> 01:15:59,961
Taking his life would betray the mercy
and Christian spirit of our nation.
756
01:16:00,121 --> 01:16:04,441
You call my son a murderer,
but do not turn into one yourselves.
757
01:16:04,641 --> 01:16:06,681
Be merciful instead...
758
01:16:28,961 --> 01:16:34,401
The Court's judgment is that Ove Viktor
Steffensen is sentenced to death.
759
01:16:36,001 --> 01:16:41,281
The defendant shall pay his barrister,
Mørch, a fee of 200 kroner.
760
01:16:45,441 --> 01:16:50,321
EXISTENTIALISM IS A HUMANISM
Darling, this would
make you into a thing -
761
01:16:50,481 --> 01:16:54,401
- for God to throw around.
You'll become an object of God.
762
01:16:56,401 --> 01:16:59,961
Are we looking
for a light or a dark suit?
763
01:17:00,081 --> 01:17:05,321
What Sartre does
is to make us the subject.
764
01:17:05,481 --> 01:17:08,721
We create our own existence.
765
01:17:08,881 --> 01:17:13,081
- How about one of each?
- Yes, why not?
766
01:17:13,241 --> 01:17:19,641
So God is gone, and we're the ones
creating meaning in our lives.
767
01:17:19,801 --> 01:17:23,601
Charcoal? Navy?
What do you think?
768
01:17:23,761 --> 01:17:26,961
You like both of them, don't you?
769
01:17:27,081 --> 01:17:32,361
They're very expensive, but
I also need a light-coloured suit.
770
01:17:32,561 --> 01:17:36,961
- We'll take all three.
- You're so wonderful.
771
01:17:37,081 --> 01:17:40,761
Exceptional.
Amazing.
772
01:17:40,921 --> 01:17:46,001
Sartre and his people
call themselves existentialists.
773
01:17:47,641 --> 01:17:50,161
So there's no meaning to life?
774
01:17:50,321 --> 01:17:55,801
Well, you don't get a set
of instructions for how to live life.
775
01:17:58,041 --> 01:18:00,801
That sounds familiar.
776
01:18:00,961 --> 01:18:05,481
You create meaning in your life
through the choices you make.
777
01:18:07,481 --> 01:18:09,841
You must be brave.
778
01:18:09,961 --> 01:18:14,281
I'll need a tie
to go with each suit as well.
779
01:18:14,441 --> 01:18:18,241
- There.
- Just take the ones you like.
780
01:18:18,401 --> 01:18:22,201
All of them?
Oh, okay.
781
01:18:25,081 --> 01:18:29,201
But how will I know
if I'm making the right decisions?
782
01:18:29,361 --> 01:18:31,601
The choices you make...
783
01:18:31,761 --> 01:18:38,721
They're yours. If you're not happy
with them, just make some new ones.
784
01:18:38,881 --> 01:18:41,601
There's no answer book.
785
01:18:41,761 --> 01:18:45,801
Whatever feels right for you
is the right choice.
786
01:18:47,401 --> 01:18:50,241
Maybe I'm an existentialist.
787
01:18:51,681 --> 01:18:54,641
Then I wake up...
788
01:18:55,761 --> 01:18:59,121
... and I'm drenched in sweat -
789
01:18:59,281 --> 01:19:03,081
- even though my window is open.
790
01:19:04,201 --> 01:19:08,601
I'm not sure...
It's the same dream over and over.
791
01:19:08,761 --> 01:19:12,441
The war is still inside you.
792
01:19:15,281 --> 01:19:19,001
Not all the people we shot were...
793
01:19:20,361 --> 01:19:22,761
But that's all in the past now.
794
01:19:44,401 --> 01:19:48,961
That just might be the most
beautiful voice I've ever heard.
795
01:19:49,081 --> 01:19:53,961
- You look great up here.
- Thank you.
796
01:19:54,081 --> 01:19:58,721
Thank you for your help
with the restructuring, Kurt Hansen.
797
01:19:58,881 --> 01:20:02,721
It wouldn't have gone
so smoothly without your help.
798
01:20:02,881 --> 01:20:06,401
But that leads us
to the matter of yourself.
799
01:20:07,721 --> 01:20:13,401
With the cuts in the montage department,
we won't need you anymore.
800
01:20:13,601 --> 01:20:16,841
I'm sorry, and I realise -
801
01:20:16,961 --> 01:20:21,201
- this comes
at a very unfortunate time -
802
01:20:21,361 --> 01:20:24,401
- seeing as your wife
has just passed away.
803
01:20:25,601 --> 01:20:32,881
Your final pay check is ready
in accounting, along with a bonus.
804
01:20:33,001 --> 01:20:34,881
So...
805
01:20:35,001 --> 01:20:38,081
Best of luck to you.
806
01:20:52,761 --> 01:20:56,601
As you can see,
the numbers are looking a bit better.
807
01:20:56,761 --> 01:21:00,921
It's because the proceeds
from the house came through.
808
01:21:04,201 --> 01:21:09,041
But the board is in agreement -
809
01:21:09,201 --> 01:21:12,161
- that Elektrona needs
to be modernised.
810
01:21:12,321 --> 01:21:16,201
He has actually already dismissed
all the long-serving staff.
811
01:21:16,361 --> 01:21:18,441
Sara...
812
01:21:19,961 --> 01:21:25,881
As long as I'm here,
your position is safe, all right?
813
01:21:28,001 --> 01:21:29,441
Yes.
814
01:21:29,641 --> 01:21:35,481
ELECTION 1947
The Social Democrats gained
nine mandates and now have 57.
815
01:21:35,681 --> 01:21:40,841
The Communist Party lost nine mandates,
and Danish Unity lost...
816
01:21:40,961 --> 01:21:45,881
Turn it off!
What's wrong with the workers?
817
01:21:46,001 --> 01:21:50,961
How did the Social Democrats
manage to steal nine mandates from us?
818
01:21:51,121 --> 01:21:53,961
They're backed by the labour movement.
819
01:21:54,121 --> 01:21:58,201
The Conservatives and Venstre
get funding from big business.
820
01:21:58,361 --> 01:22:01,801
- And England and USA.
- We get backing, too.
821
01:22:01,961 --> 01:22:05,841
- Not enough, apparently.
- What are you talking about?
822
01:22:05,961 --> 01:22:11,481
We don't get any support.
We're alone in the Danish workplaces.
823
01:22:12,481 --> 01:22:16,081
Well?
Where do we get backing from?
824
01:22:16,241 --> 01:22:21,681
Maybe we should consider
where we went wrong to end up like this?
825
01:22:22,441 --> 01:22:27,841
You won't be associating with her
any longer. End of discussion.
826
01:22:27,961 --> 01:22:32,761
- Ebba is the only friend I've got.
- Yes, I know that.
827
01:22:32,921 --> 01:22:37,361
- She made a pass at me.
- No, I really don't think she did.
828
01:22:37,561 --> 01:22:43,561
Sit still, damn it! I need to finish
this painting so it can go to Paris.
829
01:22:43,721 --> 01:22:46,841
I saw straight through her ages ago.
830
01:22:46,961 --> 01:22:50,921
She's just after your money.
Don't you see?
831
01:22:52,721 --> 01:22:56,361
I just don't think Ebba is like that.
832
01:22:56,561 --> 01:23:00,641
You think everyone wants
the best for you. But they don't.
833
01:23:00,801 --> 01:23:04,601
Eva, no more associating with Ebba.
834
01:23:04,761 --> 01:23:08,561
No, Gösta.
You don't get to decide...
835
01:23:08,721 --> 01:23:11,321
Sit still, damn it!
836
01:23:14,841 --> 01:23:18,881
- Ebba is a good person.
- Don't move! Sit still!
837
01:23:22,601 --> 01:23:24,841
Do you think I'm scared of you?
838
01:23:24,961 --> 01:23:27,881
No, don't come any closer.
839
01:23:28,001 --> 01:23:30,601
Eva...
840
01:23:30,761 --> 01:23:35,401
Eva, don't do this.
I won't be able to manage without you.
841
01:23:35,601 --> 01:23:39,401
Nonsense!
Of course you'll manage without me.
842
01:23:39,601 --> 01:23:41,681
I love you.
843
01:23:44,641 --> 01:23:48,961
I'm going to Ebba's place now.
Pack your things.
844
01:23:49,081 --> 01:23:52,561
Do you hear me?
Leave your key on the table.
845
01:23:52,721 --> 01:23:56,081
- Eva, please...
- Give my regards to Paris.
846
01:23:56,241 --> 01:23:59,361
If you can afford to go down there.
847
01:24:33,721 --> 01:24:36,641
Thank you very much.
Enjoy your evening.
848
01:24:38,561 --> 01:24:41,281
- Another round.
- There are three of you?
849
01:24:41,441 --> 01:24:44,041
Yes, thanks.
850
01:24:44,201 --> 01:24:47,761
- Good evening, Aksel.
- Good evening, Holm.
851
01:24:47,921 --> 01:24:51,681
I was sorry to hear about Walther
from your group.
852
01:24:51,841 --> 01:24:56,961
A lot of people struggle
to return to everyday life.
853
01:24:57,081 --> 01:25:02,361
What about you? Why are you still
hanging around with the communists?
854
01:25:02,561 --> 01:25:07,121
- You're a democrat, aren't you?
- We support democracy as well.
855
01:25:07,281 --> 01:25:12,681
Communist parties are only democratic
when they have a majority.
856
01:25:12,841 --> 01:25:16,361
Hitler was a democrat
until he controlled the police.
857
01:25:16,561 --> 01:25:19,281
That was the end of democracy.
858
01:25:19,441 --> 01:25:22,681
This is Denmark.
That would never happen here.
859
01:25:22,841 --> 01:25:25,601
- You don't think so?
- No.
860
01:25:25,761 --> 01:25:32,321
By the way, the Faber woman won't bother
you anymore. It's been taken care of.
861
01:25:37,961 --> 01:25:40,121
Aren't you Mr Skov?
862
01:25:40,281 --> 01:25:42,281
Yes.
863
01:25:49,481 --> 01:25:51,961
I recognise you now.
864
01:25:52,081 --> 01:25:56,321
You were at our bonfire celebration
during the war, weren't you?
865
01:25:56,481 --> 01:26:01,241
- Yes, I was.
- You're one of Michael's friends.
866
01:26:01,401 --> 01:26:04,801
We fought together
on the Eastern Front.
867
01:26:06,961 --> 01:26:10,321
- You were his superior.
- My name is Ove.
868
01:26:10,481 --> 01:26:13,721
- Karl.
- Michael was the boss, not me.
869
01:26:13,881 --> 01:26:17,161
- The old team is back together.
- Pardon?
870
01:26:17,321 --> 01:26:19,921
Nazi bastards.
871
01:26:20,041 --> 01:26:22,041
Just a moment.
872
01:26:45,761 --> 01:26:51,601
Aksel? I have some comrades here
who would like to talk to you.
873
01:26:51,761 --> 01:26:54,601
- About what?
- Come along.
874
01:26:58,681 --> 01:27:04,041
Of course we all hope there's
a good explanation for everything.
875
01:27:04,201 --> 01:27:08,001
But since you have
a trusted position in the party -
876
01:27:08,161 --> 01:27:11,961
- we're obliged to have
this little conversation -
877
01:27:12,081 --> 01:27:17,481
- which Gunnar
has kindly offered to lead.
878
01:27:17,681 --> 01:27:19,681
Thank you.
879
01:27:20,961 --> 01:27:26,001
Aksel Skov, have you carried out
confidential work for the party?
880
01:27:26,161 --> 01:27:28,961
Yes, I've been asked to do that.
881
01:27:29,121 --> 01:27:33,561
Can you tell us a bit about
the nature of that work?
882
01:27:35,001 --> 01:27:38,401
I'm not at liberty to do that.
883
01:27:38,601 --> 01:27:43,241
Henrik Holm.
MP for the Conservative Party.
884
01:27:43,401 --> 01:27:48,641
- Do you know him?
- Yes. But he's not a friend of mine.
885
01:27:48,801 --> 01:27:53,121
So he's just someone
you meet for drinks at bars?
886
01:27:53,281 --> 01:27:58,201
What do you talk to him about?
Seeing as you aren't friends.
887
01:27:58,361 --> 01:28:02,961
I don't remember the details.
It had to do with party politics.
888
01:28:03,081 --> 01:28:09,441
- I hear you like to tell Stalin jokes?
- Is that not allowed?
889
01:28:09,641 --> 01:28:13,961
- Are you unhappy with your work here?
- No, I'm very happy.
890
01:28:14,081 --> 01:28:18,001
- But you've asked for a break?
- That's not what I meant.
891
01:28:18,161 --> 01:28:22,321
It sounds like you don't know
what you believe in.
892
01:28:22,481 --> 01:28:27,681
But on election night, you were
sure of the party's defeat.
893
01:28:27,841 --> 01:28:32,761
- You believed it was our own fault.
- I meant we should take responsibility.
894
01:28:32,921 --> 01:28:36,081
Is it not also correct -
895
01:28:36,241 --> 01:28:40,281
- that you almost talked about
your confidential work -
896
01:28:40,441 --> 01:28:45,401
- to party members who would not
be able to handle that information?
897
01:28:45,601 --> 01:28:49,481
- I didn't do that.
- Do you believe in the revolution?
898
01:28:51,281 --> 01:28:55,441
Do you believe in the dictatorship
of the proletariat?
899
01:28:56,681 --> 01:29:00,881
No, but it wouldn't
be like that in Denmark...
900
01:29:02,001 --> 01:29:07,801
I'd expect no less
from a little upper-class boy like you.
901
01:29:25,681 --> 01:29:31,041
We've decided you can no longer
continue to be a member of the party.
902
01:29:31,201 --> 01:29:34,681
- You can't.
- We can.
903
01:29:36,881 --> 01:29:41,801
Børge, you're my best friends.
You can't just kick me out.
904
01:29:43,401 --> 01:29:47,801
I think you'll be better off
at the Technical University.
905
01:29:51,041 --> 01:29:55,961
I'm sorry, Aksel.
But this is where we part company.
906
01:30:31,601 --> 01:30:34,761
Why the long face?
907
01:30:34,921 --> 01:30:39,321
They...
They've kicked me out of the party.
908
01:30:39,481 --> 01:30:43,601
Excuse me?
Why would they do that?
909
01:30:43,761 --> 01:30:46,161
I don't know.
910
01:30:47,161 --> 01:30:51,721
I was called to a meeting,
which turned into an interrogation...
911
01:30:51,881 --> 01:30:54,761
You've done so much for them.
912
01:30:57,201 --> 01:31:00,761
You're always welcome in my home.
913
01:31:00,921 --> 01:31:03,681
- Would you like a beer?
- Yes, please.
914
01:31:04,881 --> 01:31:07,601
Tart!
915
01:31:07,761 --> 01:31:11,801
- What did you just say?
- I called her a tart.
916
01:31:12,801 --> 01:31:15,481
Bloody bastard!
917
01:31:35,561 --> 01:31:37,441
Aksel!
918
01:31:37,641 --> 01:31:40,201
Aksel! Stop!
919
01:31:40,361 --> 01:31:42,121
Stop!
920
01:31:44,161 --> 01:31:46,681
He's had enough.
921
01:31:49,921 --> 01:31:53,561
WARRIORS WITHOUT WEAPONS
922
01:31:54,081 --> 01:31:57,081
Hey, Britta...?
923
01:31:57,241 --> 01:32:00,121
Cookie...
924
01:32:01,201 --> 01:32:03,721
Is everything okay?
925
01:32:04,921 --> 01:32:07,201
Morten Nielsen. Danish poet.
926
01:32:07,361 --> 01:32:12,881
- Nielsen makes people cry?
- Yeah. Kind of.
927
01:32:13,001 --> 01:32:18,161
- Is Britta here?
- Can I help you with anything?
928
01:32:18,321 --> 01:32:24,041
- It's just money stuff.
- You're right. I can't help with that.
929
01:32:27,241 --> 01:32:31,881
Maybe you should read something
a little more cheerful?
930
01:32:33,401 --> 01:32:35,801
No...
931
01:32:35,961 --> 01:32:41,441
No, it's just...
I lost the man I love.
932
01:32:43,081 --> 01:32:48,361
I had to run away to be with him.
And...
933
01:32:48,561 --> 01:32:53,441
Ever since then
I've kind of felt like...
934
01:32:53,641 --> 01:32:56,961
An outcast everywhere.
935
01:32:57,121 --> 01:33:01,161
Yeah. Maybe I still am.
936
01:33:02,721 --> 01:33:06,681
Wait. Is that why you changed
your name to Helen Scott?
937
01:33:06,841 --> 01:33:09,241
Yeah.
938
01:33:09,401 --> 01:33:11,721
Yeah, kind of.
939
01:33:11,881 --> 01:33:15,441
But Helen Scott sounds...
940
01:33:15,641 --> 01:33:19,241
- That sounds pretty good, right?
- Hey...
941
01:33:19,401 --> 01:33:24,081
Helen Scott sounds and looks real good.
942
01:33:24,241 --> 01:33:25,961
Real good.
943
01:33:26,121 --> 01:33:28,121
You know...
944
01:33:28,281 --> 01:33:31,201
You ain't got nothing to worry about.
945
01:33:32,841 --> 01:33:36,961
There's a lot of love waiting for you.
946
01:33:37,081 --> 01:33:39,921
Just there.
947
01:33:43,441 --> 01:33:47,201
Oh... Britta, there you are.
948
01:33:47,361 --> 01:33:50,281
Could I have a little money in advance?
949
01:33:50,441 --> 01:33:54,641
Not now. But tonight,
when I get some more in.
950
01:33:54,801 --> 01:33:59,881
- But can we please have that chat?
- Sure. Later.
951
01:34:05,681 --> 01:34:08,041
What was that about?
952
01:34:09,001 --> 01:34:14,961
I think something's happening
between Eddie and Helen Scott.
953
01:34:15,121 --> 01:34:17,321
I say...
954
01:34:20,601 --> 01:34:25,721
A lot of people seem to have
very selective memories lately.
955
01:34:25,881 --> 01:34:29,881
Most people were just trying
to feather their own nests.
956
01:34:30,001 --> 01:34:34,201
It seems the only ones
who are truly outraged -
957
01:34:34,361 --> 01:34:37,801
- are those who didn't profit
from the Germans.
958
01:34:37,961 --> 01:34:43,041
The shop owners, farmers,
manufacturers and politicians -
959
01:34:43,201 --> 01:34:48,001
- just lay low, hoping someone else
will take the fall.
960
01:34:48,161 --> 01:34:52,081
No one remembers the promises
we made to keep Germany happy.
961
01:34:52,241 --> 01:34:54,241
What do you mean?
962
01:34:54,401 --> 01:34:59,721
The government supported a corps
that fought alongside the Germans.
963
01:34:59,881 --> 01:35:05,601
- Now we're punished for entering it.
- You're right. It's not fair.
964
01:35:07,001 --> 01:35:10,441
You were on Hellerup Station as well -
965
01:35:10,641 --> 01:35:14,961
- waving goodbye to Free Corps
Denmark when we left for the front.
966
01:35:15,121 --> 01:35:20,041
It was mainly Michael I waved to,
not so much Free Corps Denmark.
967
01:35:20,201 --> 01:35:25,281
Look, Skov. You made the weapons,
we fired them. What's the difference?
968
01:35:26,281 --> 01:35:30,601
It sounds like you think
you're better than us.
969
01:35:30,761 --> 01:35:34,561
All those killings of Jews out east...
970
01:35:34,721 --> 01:35:36,841
Did you stay out of that?
971
01:35:36,961 --> 01:35:41,841
- Michael took it very hard.
- No, Michael broke at the front.
972
01:35:41,961 --> 01:35:47,401
The clean-up behind the lines
was nothing. Almost like a holiday.
973
01:35:47,601 --> 01:35:52,201
The world will be a better place
without faggots, gypsies and Jews.
974
01:35:52,361 --> 01:35:54,881
They should be thanking us.
975
01:35:55,001 --> 01:35:59,401
So, Ove Steffensen?
Aren't they shooting you soon?
976
01:36:01,201 --> 01:36:03,921
Your name is Steffensen?
977
01:36:04,041 --> 01:36:06,641
Yes, that's me.
978
01:36:06,801 --> 01:36:10,921
- You're that Ove Steffensen?
- Yes.
979
01:36:11,041 --> 01:36:14,841
- You were sentenced to death?
- Yes.
980
01:36:17,121 --> 01:36:19,961
Oh, did I shock the manufacturer?
981
01:36:20,081 --> 01:36:22,761
Michael came home from the front -
982
01:36:22,921 --> 01:36:28,041
- broken by all the women
and children he had seen killed.
983
01:36:28,201 --> 01:36:31,801
It broke him, because
Michael was a good person.
984
01:36:31,961 --> 01:36:35,801
- Yes, and a bit too soft.
- But you didn't break.
985
01:36:35,961 --> 01:36:41,481
You wanted to keep torturing and killing
people. I'm done talking to you.
986
01:36:41,681 --> 01:36:43,801
Oh...
987
01:36:43,961 --> 01:36:47,321
Running away, Mr Skov?
988
01:36:49,361 --> 01:36:52,921
Like a coward.
Like Michael.
989
01:36:53,041 --> 01:36:58,201
How dare you lie about him?
He was shot by the Danish Brigade.
990
01:36:58,361 --> 01:37:00,961
Is that what you think?
He wasn't.
991
01:37:01,121 --> 01:37:04,401
At the end, when we
had to help each other -
992
01:37:04,601 --> 01:37:08,361
- he couldn't take it anymore,
so he shot himself.
993
01:37:08,561 --> 01:37:11,961
That's a bloody lie!
Don't you dare...
994
01:37:14,161 --> 01:37:18,121
Maybe you should think about
what you're doing.
995
01:37:34,481 --> 01:37:38,081
- I'm looking for Mr Skov.
- His room is off limits.
996
01:37:38,241 --> 01:37:42,401
- Is he in there?
- Yes, and he's not conscious.
997
01:37:42,601 --> 01:37:44,801
What does that mean?
998
01:37:44,961 --> 01:37:48,561
You'll have to ask the doctors.
999
01:37:50,041 --> 01:37:56,241
Excuse me? I just want
to know how Mr Skov is doing?
1000
01:37:56,401 --> 01:38:00,121
- Are you family?
- I'm his housekeeper.
1001
01:38:00,281 --> 01:38:04,121
I can only discuss
his health with the family.
1002
01:38:04,281 --> 01:38:09,681
- Where's Mr Skov? I'm his daughter.
- He's been stabbed with a knife.
1003
01:38:09,841 --> 01:38:14,321
- How is he doing?
- We can't say anything for certain.
1004
01:38:14,481 --> 01:38:18,481
If he makes it through the next
24 hours, his chances are good.
1005
01:38:18,681 --> 01:38:23,481
- May we see him?
- Unfortunately not. We'll contact you.
1006
01:38:24,921 --> 01:38:28,921
What a mess.
I couldn't reach Valdemar or Aksel.
1007
01:38:29,041 --> 01:38:31,761
And I don't know where Mrs Skov is...
1008
01:38:42,121 --> 01:38:43,601
COURT OF APPEAL
1009
01:38:43,761 --> 01:38:48,561
Mr Skov? Karen Faber, B.T.
You were attacked in prison?
1010
01:38:48,721 --> 01:38:53,761
- Mr Skov has no comments.
- What does your son Aksel think?
1011
01:38:53,921 --> 01:38:56,721
Little lady, Mr Skov has no comments!
1012
01:38:59,081 --> 01:39:03,681
- Mr Skov, where is your family?
- We're done here. Stop.
1013
01:39:07,641 --> 01:39:11,681
Not only did Mr Skov
help my nephew and me -
1014
01:39:11,841 --> 01:39:17,081
- he also paid for our crossing
to Sweden. 20,000 kroner.
1015
01:39:18,561 --> 01:39:22,161
So I think it's safe to say
that Mr Skov is a...
1016
01:39:23,721 --> 01:39:29,961
He's a good Danish man, who always
takes care of his own people first.
1017
01:39:30,121 --> 01:39:36,441
Mrs Meyer, please confine yourself
to answering the questions put to you.
1018
01:39:37,721 --> 01:39:40,801
I have nothing further.
1019
01:39:40,961 --> 01:39:45,961
Mrs Meyer, just answer yes or no
to the following questions.
1020
01:39:46,081 --> 01:39:49,921
If you're capable of it.
Mrs Meyer, is it correct -
1021
01:39:50,041 --> 01:39:54,561
- that from 1941 you produced
exclusively for the German Wehrmacht?
1022
01:39:54,721 --> 01:39:59,441
- All the other markets were...
- Was that a yes or a no?
1023
01:39:59,641 --> 01:40:02,281
- Pardon?
- Was that a yes?
1024
01:40:03,321 --> 01:40:05,321
It was a yes.
1025
01:40:05,481 --> 01:40:09,161
Yes. And is it correct
that you produced -
1026
01:40:09,321 --> 01:40:13,321
- high-tech components
for the German navy?
1027
01:40:16,161 --> 01:40:18,161
Yes.
1028
01:40:18,321 --> 01:40:24,481
Is it correct that Elektrona's
turnover increased twentyfold in 1944 -
1029
01:40:24,681 --> 01:40:28,481
- as a result of its collaboration
with the Wehrmacht?
1030
01:40:29,601 --> 01:40:31,881
Yes.
1031
01:40:32,001 --> 01:40:34,361
Twentyfold.
1032
01:40:35,481 --> 01:40:40,401
- I have nothing further.
- This concludes the hearing.
1033
01:40:40,601 --> 01:40:43,961
The court will adjourn
to consider its judgment.
1034
01:40:52,161 --> 01:40:56,321
The Court's judgment is
that Karl Orla Skov -
1035
01:40:56,481 --> 01:41:00,361
- is sentenced to six months'
imprisonment, suspended.
1036
01:41:00,561 --> 01:41:05,281
300,000 kroner of the defendant's
earnings shall be confiscated.
1037
01:41:05,441 --> 01:41:10,481
The State shall pay the court costs
to the High Court.
1038
01:41:11,921 --> 01:41:17,801
"Suspended" means you can go home
as soon as the hospital releases you.
1039
01:41:17,961 --> 01:41:23,961
And you should consider bringing
the case to the Supreme Court.
1040
01:41:24,121 --> 01:41:29,721
- Suspended is preferable, but...
- I'll apply. I don't have the money.
1041
01:41:29,881 --> 01:41:33,081
You should be reimbursed
for the remand.
1042
01:41:33,241 --> 01:41:36,681
Over time, sentencing will soften.
1043
01:41:36,841 --> 01:41:42,201
Next year, they'll acquit everyone.
It's not like you've killed anyone.
1044
01:41:42,361 --> 01:41:45,601
- Hello, my darling.
- Dad...
1045
01:41:45,761 --> 01:41:50,921
Let's get you home now.
We'll figure out the rest later.
1046
01:41:56,201 --> 01:41:58,761
Give it to me.
1047
01:42:19,361 --> 01:42:24,361
- I like you. And I like your music.
- If you'd just give it more time...
1048
01:42:24,561 --> 01:42:28,881
I also told you when I hired you
that it was just a trial.
1049
01:42:29,001 --> 01:42:32,921
That we had to see
how it went with the crowd.
1050
01:42:33,041 --> 01:42:35,681
I'm quite sure bebop has a future.
1051
01:42:35,841 --> 01:42:39,961
- But not in Copenhagen.
- It could if you'd give it some...
1052
01:42:40,121 --> 01:42:45,601
I have to find something people can
dance to, or I have to close down.
1053
01:42:45,761 --> 01:42:47,921
Yeah. I'm sorry.
1054
01:42:48,041 --> 01:42:51,281
Tomorrow will be your last night here.
1055
01:42:53,881 --> 01:42:57,121
- Well...
- Thank you for coming.
1056
01:42:58,481 --> 01:42:59,961
Thank you.
1057
01:43:00,081 --> 01:43:05,761
It ain't as bad as you think.
I know some great people in Paris.
1058
01:43:05,921 --> 01:43:10,161
There's this gig in Saint Germain,
one of the best clubs in Paris.
1059
01:43:10,321 --> 01:43:12,721
It starts this Saturday.
1060
01:43:14,081 --> 01:43:16,961
Wow... That's...
1061
01:43:17,081 --> 01:43:20,801
I think there might also
be space there for you.
1062
01:43:20,961 --> 01:43:23,961
- For real?
- Yeah.
1063
01:43:24,081 --> 01:43:27,361
I'll go. I'm ready right now.
1064
01:43:30,961 --> 01:43:34,001
Hey, how about you, cookie?
1065
01:43:34,161 --> 01:43:36,281
You want to go with us to Paris?
1066
01:43:36,441 --> 01:43:39,841
And see if your beautiful voice
will work there?
1067
01:43:39,961 --> 01:43:42,481
Me?
1068
01:43:42,681 --> 01:43:45,681
- You want me to come with you?
- Yes.
1069
01:43:45,841 --> 01:43:48,121
Well, yes, of course.
1070
01:43:48,281 --> 01:43:51,281
Of course, I would love that.
1071
01:43:51,441 --> 01:43:54,201
- We're going to Paris.
- To Paris.
1072
01:43:54,361 --> 01:43:57,561
Annelise, we're heading off to Paris.
1073
01:44:01,121 --> 01:44:03,761
Have a seat.
1074
01:44:03,921 --> 01:44:06,121
All right.
1075
01:44:08,961 --> 01:44:10,721
Well...
1076
01:44:10,881 --> 01:44:15,721
There's something you should know
before you head off to Paris.
1077
01:44:15,881 --> 01:44:21,241
I know it's uncertain,
but that's the life of a singer.
1078
01:44:21,401 --> 01:44:26,161
I actually think it could be
really good for me to get a new start.
1079
01:44:26,321 --> 01:44:30,321
What do you think is going to happen
with you and Eddie?
1080
01:44:30,481 --> 01:44:32,961
What do you think?
1081
01:44:33,081 --> 01:44:37,721
- Has he told you about Valdemar?
- That he's coming to Paris, too?
1082
01:44:37,881 --> 01:44:41,361
It'll be so much fun.
It's great.
1083
01:44:42,761 --> 01:44:47,321
I saw them outside in the alley.
They were kissing.
1084
01:44:48,361 --> 01:44:51,721
And it wasn't just a peck.
1085
01:44:52,961 --> 01:44:55,801
What are you saying?
1086
01:44:55,961 --> 01:45:01,361
Don't you think you ought
to stay here with us, darling?
1087
01:45:07,641 --> 01:45:11,721
You know what?
Have a great trip to Paris, Valdemar.
1088
01:45:11,881 --> 01:45:16,121
And you too.
Have a very nice trip together.
1089
01:45:16,281 --> 01:45:18,561
Cookie, wait.
1090
01:45:27,281 --> 01:45:31,001
- No.
- It's just me, Helene.
1091
01:45:35,321 --> 01:45:38,961
Annelise told me.
What a shame.
1092
01:45:49,921 --> 01:45:55,641
But this could become the beginning
of something very different.
1093
01:45:55,801 --> 01:45:58,601
- Something good for you.
- What?
1094
01:45:58,761 --> 01:46:01,201
Come. Have a seat.
1095
01:46:04,561 --> 01:46:08,241
I'm certain you can become a star.
1096
01:46:08,401 --> 01:46:12,761
People adore you.
You know that, right?
1097
01:46:12,921 --> 01:46:17,361
You need to think of yourself,
instead of running after men.
1098
01:46:18,921 --> 01:46:24,321
You have a job here as long as you want,
but you could be bigger than Stardust.
1099
01:46:24,481 --> 01:46:29,401
Then we won't be able to afford you.
Only the big places will.
1100
01:46:29,601 --> 01:46:32,561
The biggest places.
1101
01:46:35,081 --> 01:46:37,801
Thank you, Britta. Thank you.
1102
01:46:46,081 --> 01:46:51,001
- There's something I have to tell you.
- What have I done now?
1103
01:46:53,961 --> 01:46:57,281
I saw you and Eddie together
in the alley.
1104
01:46:57,441 --> 01:47:00,761
Don't get me wrong.
I don't mean to meddle.
1105
01:47:01,761 --> 01:47:05,841
- I don't know what you're on about.
- Stop it. I saw you.
1106
01:47:05,961 --> 01:47:09,641
You need to be more careful.
1107
01:47:09,801 --> 01:47:14,121
What if someone else had seen you
and called the police?
1108
01:47:14,281 --> 01:47:17,361
You could go to prison for it, Valdemar.
1109
01:47:17,561 --> 01:47:20,041
People do.
1110
01:47:21,721 --> 01:47:25,841
I couldn't bear it if something
were to happen to you.
1111
01:47:27,441 --> 01:47:30,601
Do you understand?
1112
01:47:30,761 --> 01:47:35,201
- I understand.
- Please be more careful.
1113
01:47:36,681 --> 01:47:39,561
That's all I wanted to say.
1114
01:47:40,601 --> 01:47:45,121
We don't have the funds to pay
the company's many creditors.
1115
01:47:45,281 --> 01:47:48,601
Most importantly, the employees.
1116
01:47:48,761 --> 01:47:54,761
As long as the Americans
and the Brits are boycotting Karl Skov -
1117
01:47:54,921 --> 01:48:00,601
- it doesn't make sense
to keep the company afloat.
1118
01:48:00,761 --> 01:48:03,001
Elektrona should be closed.
1119
01:48:03,161 --> 01:48:06,721
Say what you want to say.
You want to get rid of me.
1120
01:48:06,881 --> 01:48:13,161
No one wants that. But it's too late
to turn the ship around, Karl.
1121
01:48:14,241 --> 01:48:16,801
It's incredibly sad.
1122
01:48:16,961 --> 01:48:21,721
Let's move to a vote.
Who votes in favour -
1123
01:48:21,881 --> 01:48:26,441
- of declaring Elektrona bankrupt?
1124
01:48:30,401 --> 01:48:32,961
I count four votes in favour.
1125
01:48:33,121 --> 01:48:36,161
Are there any votes against?
1126
01:48:38,601 --> 01:48:44,281
It doesn't appear so.
Any abstentions?
1127
01:48:46,801 --> 01:48:51,121
Once this meeting concludes,
I will file a request -
1128
01:48:51,281 --> 01:48:55,761
- for Elektrona to be placed
into bankruptcy administration.
1129
01:48:55,921 --> 01:48:57,641
Yes...
1130
01:48:57,801 --> 01:49:01,561
It's the end of an era
for a fantastic company.
1131
01:49:02,561 --> 01:49:07,601
Perhaps you will find some
consolation in knowing -
1132
01:49:07,761 --> 01:49:14,561
- that I've contacted some of
Elektrona's former UK competitors -
1133
01:49:14,721 --> 01:49:18,921
- who are prepared to submit
a bid to the bankrupt estate -
1134
01:49:19,041 --> 01:49:21,841
- to acquire the company's patents -
1135
01:49:21,961 --> 01:49:28,361
- at a price I'm certain
the bankrupt estate will accept.
1136
01:49:28,561 --> 01:49:34,281
Here's the offer
I've been authorised to make.
1137
01:49:34,441 --> 01:49:40,481
If the estate accepts, it would free up
funds to pay out some of the salaries.
1138
01:49:40,681 --> 01:49:45,481
Also, since the name of Karl Skov
would no longer be an obstacle -
1139
01:49:45,681 --> 01:49:50,441
- we'd be able to utilise the promising
patents we already hold.
1140
01:49:50,641 --> 01:49:54,161
Hell no. I'm not having any of that.
1141
01:49:55,321 --> 01:49:59,041
You've done nothing to help me.
1142
01:49:59,201 --> 01:50:04,041
How dare you waltz in here
and take over my entire life's work?
1143
01:50:04,201 --> 01:50:08,801
- Calm down...
- Don't touch me, you thief. Get out!
1144
01:50:08,961 --> 01:50:11,401
You too! All of you!
1145
01:50:11,601 --> 01:50:16,321
This company is done for.
No one wants anything to do with you!
1146
01:50:16,481 --> 01:50:19,361
- You're finished. It's over.
- Out!
1147
01:50:21,001 --> 01:50:26,241
- Just go. Karl?
- Damn it...
1148
01:50:26,401 --> 01:50:29,001
Karl? Karl?
1149
01:51:19,481 --> 01:51:22,561
Our Father...
1150
01:51:22,721 --> 01:51:26,441
Who art in heaven.
1151
01:51:26,641 --> 01:51:29,241
Hallowed be thy name.
1152
01:51:29,401 --> 01:51:32,041
Thy kingdom come.
1153
01:51:32,201 --> 01:51:36,921
Thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
1154
01:51:37,041 --> 01:51:40,241
Give us this day our daily bread -
1155
01:51:40,401 --> 01:51:44,441
- and forgive us our trespasses as we
forgive those who trespass against us.
1156
01:51:44,641 --> 01:51:49,041
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
1157
01:51:49,201 --> 01:51:54,321
For yours is the kingdom,
the power and the glory forever.
1158
01:51:54,481 --> 01:51:56,921
Amen.
1159
01:51:57,041 --> 01:51:59,921
You are absolved of your sins.
1160
01:52:00,921 --> 01:52:03,961
We will meet again
in the kingdom of God.
1161
01:52:18,561 --> 01:52:20,681
Get him out of here.
1162
01:52:20,841 --> 01:52:22,841
Good evening, Pastor Steffensen.
1163
01:52:22,961 --> 01:52:26,921
I don't know if you remember me.
My name is Eskebjerg.
1164
01:52:27,041 --> 01:52:30,561
I'm sure you remember my sister,
Karen Marie.
1165
01:52:30,721 --> 01:52:36,241
She frequently visited your neighbours,
the Neergaard brothers...
1166
01:52:36,401 --> 01:52:39,201
Squad, fall in.
1167
01:52:49,281 --> 01:52:51,801
Take aim!
1168
01:52:59,161 --> 01:53:00,961
Fire!
1169
01:53:36,681 --> 01:53:38,961
Thank you very much. Thank you.
1170
01:53:46,561 --> 01:53:48,601
Hello, Aksel.
1171
01:53:48,761 --> 01:53:51,081
Hello, Leif.
1172
01:53:51,241 --> 01:53:55,361
- I'm sorry about what happened. Smoke?
- No thanks.
1173
01:53:57,321 --> 01:54:01,881
I'm sure if we were
to talk to Børge together...
1174
01:54:03,081 --> 01:54:05,721
We can talk some sense into him.
1175
01:54:07,161 --> 01:54:10,201
Of course you belong with us.
1176
01:54:12,001 --> 01:54:15,921
- We need you.
- It's not Børge's decision.
1177
01:54:16,041 --> 01:54:20,921
- It's the central committee's.
- You'll let them have the last word?
1178
01:54:21,841 --> 01:54:25,881
I don't know...
Maybe they're right.
1179
01:54:26,001 --> 01:54:29,961
Maybe Stalin and I have grown apart.
1180
01:54:35,481 --> 01:54:39,561
- I'll miss you.
- I'll miss you too, Leif.
1181
01:54:44,881 --> 01:54:47,401
Get behind the tree!
Come here.
1182
01:54:47,481 --> 01:54:49,201
SUMMER 1948
1183
01:54:51,001 --> 01:54:53,201
Here we go.
1184
01:54:54,681 --> 01:54:58,121
We're going to sneak up...
Where did you go?
1185
01:54:58,281 --> 01:55:00,961
Oh, there you are.
We're sneaking...
1186
01:55:01,121 --> 01:55:03,241
Let's sneak up on her.
1187
01:55:03,401 --> 01:55:06,641
Bang! Bang!
1188
01:55:06,801 --> 01:55:09,601
- Bang, bang, bang.
- Careful now.
1189
01:55:09,761 --> 01:55:14,121
Bloody hell, Skov.
And Mrs Møller.
1190
01:55:14,281 --> 01:55:16,841
Mr Berg.
1191
01:55:16,961 --> 01:55:20,641
Congratulations on your
Supreme Court acquittal.
1192
01:55:20,801 --> 01:55:24,081
It was certainly a godsend.
1193
01:55:24,241 --> 01:55:30,361
It was only fair, considering everything
you've done for Danish industry.
1194
01:55:30,561 --> 01:55:33,481
Thank you.
And how are you?
1195
01:55:33,681 --> 01:55:37,081
I've just come back
from three months in Detroit.
1196
01:55:37,241 --> 01:55:41,401
I'm telling you, America is
a fantastic country. Fantastic!
1197
01:55:41,601 --> 01:55:45,081
They need people
like you over there, Skov.
1198
01:55:45,241 --> 01:55:49,401
I don't think I'm very popular
over there right now.
1199
01:55:49,601 --> 01:55:52,041
Acquitted or not.
1200
01:55:52,201 --> 01:55:54,961
Yes, that war...
1201
01:55:55,121 --> 01:55:58,961
But Hitler did have
some rather interesting ideas.
1202
01:55:59,121 --> 01:56:04,161
But it did turn quite messy at the end.
1203
01:56:04,321 --> 01:56:08,641
- Who's this?
- My grandchild. Knud's son.
1204
01:56:08,801 --> 01:56:11,441
Knud?
1205
01:56:11,641 --> 01:56:15,601
Oh yes, he was the one with the...
1206
01:56:15,761 --> 01:56:20,441
Yeah... Well, let's meet
for lunch sometime, Skov.
1207
01:56:20,641 --> 01:56:25,201
Take care now.
Mrs Møller.
1208
01:56:38,161 --> 01:56:40,161
There you are.
1209
01:56:42,881 --> 01:56:46,361
- Well...
- Happy birthday, Karl.
1210
01:56:46,561 --> 01:56:48,001
Thank you.
1211
01:56:50,761 --> 01:56:53,321
It's Kurt Hansen's place.
1212
01:56:53,481 --> 01:56:58,201
He kindly lent it to me
so I could have my birthday here.
1213
01:56:58,361 --> 01:57:02,001
My current place doesn't
have a garden, so...
1214
01:57:04,361 --> 01:57:06,961
How are you, Karl?
1215
01:57:08,401 --> 01:57:10,721
I'm well, actually.
1216
01:57:11,881 --> 01:57:16,881
Who would have thought?
And yourself? How are you?
1217
01:57:17,001 --> 01:57:20,761
I've taken in refugee
children from Estonia.
1218
01:57:20,921 --> 01:57:23,801
So I'm keeping busy.
1219
01:57:23,961 --> 01:57:28,201
- And you're doing well?
- I do miss Copenhagen.
1220
01:57:29,321 --> 01:57:34,001
I miss the children.
But never mind that.
1221
01:57:35,641 --> 01:57:39,961
You make some choices,
and then you make some new choices.
1222
01:57:42,121 --> 01:57:45,881
- Sartre, I believe.
- Oh, right...
1223
01:57:47,961 --> 01:57:50,841
- Hello, Mrs Skov.
- Hello.
1224
01:57:53,161 --> 01:57:57,281
- It's lovely to see you.
- You as well, Mrs Meyer.
1225
01:58:00,481 --> 01:58:03,801
Right... Shall we?
1226
01:58:03,961 --> 01:58:06,961
We've got a lovely white wine chilling.
1227
01:58:10,561 --> 01:58:15,561
I like to give speeches,
as several of you know.
1228
01:58:16,761 --> 01:58:21,641
I actually had a speech prepared.
A really good one.
1229
01:58:21,801 --> 01:58:25,801
It's in here, but I won't take it out.
It was about...
1230
01:58:26,801 --> 01:58:30,041
It was mainly about loss.
1231
01:58:31,241 --> 01:58:37,241
It's something that all of us
sitting at this table -
1232
01:58:37,401 --> 01:58:39,961
- are familiar with.
1233
01:58:40,121 --> 01:58:43,841
We've all lost loved ones.
1234
01:58:45,361 --> 01:58:49,281
But it was also about hope.
1235
01:58:49,441 --> 01:58:52,401
Hope for a better future.
1236
01:58:52,601 --> 01:58:55,681
In that connection,
I suddenly had help -
1237
01:58:55,841 --> 01:59:00,721
- from a young and very
interesting Danish writer.
1238
01:59:00,881 --> 01:59:05,921
A fresh voice, which I'm sure
you'll be hearing much more from.
1239
01:59:06,041 --> 01:59:11,641
I can't say it as well as him,
but what he says is...
1240
01:59:14,321 --> 01:59:18,961
- Cheers, everyone!
- Exactly. Cheers.
1241
01:59:22,241 --> 01:59:25,441
- All right.
- Well done. Cheers.
1242
01:59:25,641 --> 01:59:27,641
Cheers.
1243
01:59:29,761 --> 01:59:32,721
That's right. Man of the day.
1244
01:59:32,881 --> 01:59:36,241
I got a post card from Montevideo.
From Louise.
1245
01:59:36,401 --> 01:59:39,961
She's going to marry a diamond dealer.
1246
01:59:40,121 --> 01:59:44,641
No, Mum, I'm actually just singing
with the quintet now.
1247
01:59:44,801 --> 01:59:48,121
We've got a new drummer,
so we rehearse a lot.
1248
01:59:48,281 --> 01:59:51,561
We're busy.
Stardust is doing well again.
1249
01:59:51,721 --> 01:59:55,161
I'll be able to repay my loans soon.
1250
01:59:55,321 --> 02:00:00,041
I'm actually
from a wealthy family myself.
1251
02:00:00,201 --> 02:00:05,001
We've had a couple of offers from
Sweden, so we might go up there.
1252
02:00:05,161 --> 02:00:09,961
I'm not sure yet. We'll see.
1253
02:00:10,081 --> 02:00:14,041
It's so sad Valdemar couldn't be here.
1254
02:00:14,201 --> 02:00:16,481
Paris is a wonderful city.
1255
02:00:16,681 --> 02:00:20,961
No other city in the world has
as many young, beautiful women.
1256
02:00:21,081 --> 02:00:23,641
You're probably right.
1257
02:00:24,761 --> 02:00:28,201
- Do you miss Gösta?
- No.
1258
02:00:29,401 --> 02:00:32,161
I took him back.
1259
02:00:32,321 --> 02:00:34,721
He was so distraught.
1260
02:00:34,881 --> 02:00:37,921
- Mum, no.
- Yes.
1261
02:00:40,121 --> 02:00:43,641
You know that I've quit drinking.
1262
02:00:43,801 --> 02:00:47,081
- Yes.
- But Gösta hasn't.
1263
02:00:47,241 --> 02:00:51,041
When he gets drunk, he gets so angry...
1264
02:00:52,481 --> 02:00:56,081
And he wants to run the show.
1265
02:00:57,961 --> 02:01:02,201
Then he falls out
with the few friends I have left.
1266
02:01:02,361 --> 02:01:06,241
Mum, you need to leave him.
You have to.
1267
02:01:06,401 --> 02:01:09,721
I already have, Helene.
1268
02:01:09,881 --> 02:01:12,561
It's over.
1269
02:01:14,361 --> 02:01:16,681
But it's...
1270
02:01:17,681 --> 02:01:21,121
I just find it very difficult
to be alone.
1271
02:01:21,281 --> 02:01:23,921
Mum...
1272
02:01:30,561 --> 02:01:35,721
Well... Why don't you come
to Stockholm with me?
1273
02:01:35,881 --> 02:01:40,201
- No.
- Yes, we'll take care of each other.
1274
02:01:40,361 --> 02:01:43,721
That sounds lovely, but...
1275
02:01:43,881 --> 02:01:48,721
We'll each find a new sweetheart.
Stockholm is full of wonderful men.
1276
02:01:48,881 --> 02:01:51,961
- Bye.
- Thank you for coming. It was lovely.
1277
02:01:52,121 --> 02:01:55,721
Bye, little man.
Are you driving the car?
1278
02:01:55,881 --> 02:01:58,961
Get home safely.
Thank you for a lovely day.
1279
02:01:59,121 --> 02:02:00,561
You too.
1280
02:02:00,721 --> 02:02:03,001
Goodbye, Karl.
Take care.
1281
02:02:03,161 --> 02:02:05,961
Thank you for coming.
1282
02:02:06,121 --> 02:02:09,161
Sit down on your bottom.
Let's wave.
1283
02:02:09,321 --> 02:02:12,441
- There we go.
- Careful.
1284
02:02:12,641 --> 02:02:16,241
- All right...
- Let's wave.
1285
02:02:24,281 --> 02:02:26,441
Well...
1286
02:02:40,761 --> 02:02:43,441
Happy birthday, Dad.
1287
02:02:44,401 --> 02:02:46,881
Aksel?
1288
02:02:48,961 --> 02:02:51,481
Why...
1289
02:02:54,361 --> 02:02:58,081
I'm sorry I'm late.
1290
02:02:58,241 --> 02:03:03,961
I was in London for a conference
for my new job.
1291
02:03:04,121 --> 02:03:10,001
I've got an interesting position
at the Nordic Insulin Laboratory.
1292
02:03:11,641 --> 02:03:14,641
Thank you. Thank you for coming.
1293
02:03:23,546 --> 02:03:24,693
Here.
1294
02:03:25,841 --> 02:03:29,841
It's Hemingway's
"A Farewell to Arms".
1295
02:03:30,961 --> 02:03:33,561
Of course it is.
1296
02:03:39,881 --> 02:03:43,841
You've been on a long journey.
1297
02:03:47,841 --> 02:03:51,201
It's been long for me, too.
1298
02:06:08,601 --> 02:06:11,321
