1
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:53,950
Inspired by the diary kept
by pastor Peder Olsen

2
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,260
"Something incomprehensible lies
within every human being."

3
00:01:27,800 --> 00:01:30,360
<i>Minister President Quisling
addresses the nation.</i>

4
00:01:39,960 --> 00:01:41,280
Men and women of Norway…

5
00:01:43,440 --> 00:01:46,480
a few days ago,
the world received the news

6
00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:48,000
that Adolf Hitler,

7
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,880
the Führer and chancellor
of the German Reich,

8
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,960
had died, as befitting a hero,
at his command post in Berlin

9
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:58,000
during his heroic effort to prevent

10
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:02,800
the Bolshevik destruction
of his country and of Europe.

11
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:06,960
With Adolf Hitler's passing,

12
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,720
we have lost a historic character

13
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:13,080
capable of creating an era
in the history of humankind.

14
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,960
If Europe does not go under,

15
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,880
surely the future will acknowledge

16
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:23,440
that the salvation
of the European cultural civilization

17
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,560
was due to Adolf Hitler.

18
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:31,280
His National Socialism
made Germany into a mighty bulwark

19
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:34,120
capable of breaking
the red wave of Bolshevism.

20
00:02:36,520 --> 00:02:38,320
His life's greatest tragedy

21
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:41,080
was that he, despite all his efforts,

22
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:44,680
was unable to bring about peace
between England and Germany.

23
00:02:45,640 --> 00:02:48,760
Such an alliance would
have ensured world peace

24
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:50,920
and neutralized Bolshevism.

25
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,280
<i>I will not betray our cause.</i>

26
00:02:56,040 --> 00:03:00,320
Nor will I let it succumb
to lawlessness and Bolshevism.

27
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:30,320
Thank you.

28
00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:41,840
Did you listen?

29
00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:44,760
To my speech?

30
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:47,360
It sounds like we have capitulated.

31
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:50,160
Not at all.

32
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:53,320
Berlin won't abandon us.

33
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,040
I'm trying to negotiate
with Nygaardsvold in London

34
00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:58,720
about an interim government.

35
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:01,440
And if that doesn't work out?

36
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,840
I won't tolerate
talk of defeat or capitulation!

37
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,840
You will achieve what you want.

38
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,240
You are Captain Quisling.

39
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,000
You will succeed.

40
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,160
We have 30,000 men at our disposal,
they have 4000.

41
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:03,480
We can still fight.

42
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:04,560
Vidkun!

43
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,600
I was at the dentist.
He rushed me here afterwards.

44
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,360
He's going to the train station.

45
00:05:11,440 --> 00:05:14,360
He's fleeing the country,
bringing nothing.

46
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:16,120
My God.

47
00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:17,960
You said they wouldn't capitulate!

48
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,040
- Don't panic.
- What are they doing here?

49
00:05:22,120 --> 00:05:26,480
It might be a good idea to pack a bag
with the bare necessities.

50
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,600
- Just in case.
- Pack?

51
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:30,760
What about London and the negotiations?

52
00:05:30,840 --> 00:05:33,600
Calm down, Maria. Please.

53
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,560
Have the kitchen prepare some food.
This may take a while.

54
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:42,320
<i>And old tales which night, in falling</i>

55
00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:47,680
<i>Brings as dreams to earth</i>

56
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:12,080
Christ, all hell's breaking loose.

57
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,160
- We should have just left.
- What do you mean?

58
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,360
They're running around
like headless chickens, shouting.

59
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:30,480
A group of drunken German seamen
were firing their sub-machine guns,

60
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,160
shooting like crazy.

61
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:36,560
I barely got away unscathed.

62
00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,600
- No one has talked to the Resistance.
- Did we walk straight into a trap?

63
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,240
There seems to be a power struggle
between the Resistance and the police.

64
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,760
The new national police chief is insane.

65
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:52,120
Capitulation begins at midnight.

66
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,120
We just heard it on the radio.

67
00:06:57,720 --> 00:06:58,880
In that case…

68
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:02,240
…there's not much more we can do.

69
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,400
Nonsense. I'm going down there myself.

70
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,280
I would advise against that.

71
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:15,880
It's dangerous out there.

72
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:18,440
They're shooting.

73
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:23,160
You can't go anywhere
without a promise of safe passage.

74
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:25,680
I doubt the police will grant you that.

75
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:32,440
Surely there are still some
civilized people left in this country!

76
00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:56,640
Yes, hello.

77
00:07:57,160 --> 00:08:00,200
Vidkun Quisling, the Minister President.

78
00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,400
Thank you for taking the time, Arntzen.

79
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:09,360
No, we're contacting you to clear up
some misunderstandings regarding...

80
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:11,640
Right.

81
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:14,800
Yes.

82
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,000
Absolutely.

83
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:22,800
Listen, we're discussing matters
with the military authorities,

84
00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:24,319
this could turn into...

85
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,760
No.

86
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,720
I see.

87
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,960
But the fact that you don't know Foss
is your problem.

88
00:08:33,040 --> 00:08:37,320
He came to see me and offered me
internment in Holmenkollen.

89
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:38,480
He could guarantee...

90
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:42,360
I see.

91
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:44,720
Yes.

92
00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:48,880
You calling me a criminal I find very...

93
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:51,760
I've worked so hard for this country.

94
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,840
I have no...

95
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:56,360
Fine.

96
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:00,200
Right.

97
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:02,840
Yes.

98
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:06,920
Hello?

99
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:33,200
He gave us until six o'clock
tomorrow morning.

100
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:39,920
And if we refuse?

101
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:44,400
They will come at us with force.

102
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:47,560
They…

103
00:09:51,560 --> 00:09:52,960
…will come at us with force.

104
00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:39,880
I heard you, Vidkun,
on the phone with the police chief.

105
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:43,120
It's over.

106
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,960
No, I'm going to the police station
to clear this up.

107
00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:53,280
- I have to go. They're waiting.
- Stop.

108
00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,040
Please state your name.

109
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:28,720
Where is Police Chief Arntzen?

110
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:30,720
State your personal details.

111
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:34,960
- I demand to talk to Arntzen.
- Your hat, please.

112
00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:37,720
Occupation?

113
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:43,240
- Your occupation?
- I just need to check your pockets.

114
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:49,040
Wait a minute. I'm not being arrested.

115
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:53,080
I have made an agreement
with the police chief

116
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:57,560
that I am to stay
in a house in Holmenkollen.

117
00:12:58,440 --> 00:12:59,880
Your wedding ring, please.

118
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,960
- What?
- Could I have your wedding ring?

119
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:06,800
No. Is that really necessary?

120
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,320
Yes. I have to take it.

121
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,120
Let me remind you that I've been
Norway's head of state for five years.

122
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,760
I expect to be treated with respect
and not like a criminal.

123
00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:41,360
This way, please.

124
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,040
Mr. Olsen, his Grace will see you now.

125
00:15:04,160 --> 00:15:06,600
Right. Sorry.

126
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:10,200
Thank you.

127
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:13,640
Peder Olsen.

128
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,240
- It's been a long time.
- Indeed. How are you?

129
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:19,080
I must thank you.

130
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:22,680
Without your efforts,
this war could have been a lot darker.

131
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,680
Let's put the war behind us.

132
00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:26,480
I'm more interested in the peace.

133
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:27,760
Take a seat.

134
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,160
I've been told you are
an excellent judge of character.

135
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:36,160
I don't know about that.

136
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:39,480
Vidkun Quisling.

137
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:42,480
Yes?

138
00:15:42,880 --> 00:15:47,480
He's in his cell at Mollergata 19,
awaiting his trial.

139
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:50,240
Which will be highly necessary.

140
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,760
Would you consider serving as his pastor?

141
00:15:55,320 --> 00:15:58,320
- Me? For Quisling?
- Yes.

142
00:16:01,320 --> 00:16:05,720
But isn't Mr. Traaen
prison chaplain over there?

143
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,600
He's made a decent effort so far,
but with the trial coming up,

144
00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,480
they don't seem to get along.

145
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:17,640
Quisling is, perhaps not surprisingly,
a very complex human being.

146
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,680
- In what way?
- How should I put this?

147
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:24,400
During the war,
he threatened me with execution.

148
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:26,800
Now, he wants me to be his pastor.

149
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,400
- Can he make such demands?
- I politely declined.

150
00:16:34,280 --> 00:16:38,400
However, I think it is crucial
that the Church is involved.

151
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,720
In what way?

152
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:43,400
We are a broken country.

153
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:49,680
People are calling for the death penalty.
More bad blood, more hatred.

154
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:52,280
In the worst case, we make him a martyr.

155
00:16:54,400 --> 00:16:56,920
If we could help him realize his actions,

156
00:16:56,999 --> 00:17:00,920
it can start a process of reconciliation,
for the rest of us as well,

157
00:17:00,999 --> 00:17:02,800
no matter the outcome of the trial.

158
00:17:03,320 --> 00:17:04,320
To start with.

159
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,920
I'm not sure I'm the right man
for such a task.

160
00:17:08,999 --> 00:17:11,560
I… I'm a hospital chaplain.

161
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,160
I have no experience with criminals.

162
00:17:14,239 --> 00:17:17,200
Reconciliation is neither simple
nor pleasant.

163
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:21,200
Anyone taking such a thing lightly
is not sincere.

164
00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,040
You having doubts
only counts in your favor.

165
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:33,440
Here is your prison pass
and other documents.

166
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:38,440
And you must keep this to yourself,
for security reasons.

167
00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:45,880
What about my wife?
Can I discuss this with her?

168
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,280
Like I said, Olsen,
we keep this to ourselves.

169
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,080
Oops!

170
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:06,120
Let's see.

171
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,240
That wasn't very smart.

172
00:18:10,360 --> 00:18:11,600
Try not to laugh so much.

173
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:17,320
I think we need to pull here. Like that.

174
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:19,320
- You got it straight away.
- There you go.

175
00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:22,560
There's only static there.
We need to go to...

176
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,200
Isn't there a...

177
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:32,040
<i>Quisling denied ever having
improper contact with the Germans.</i>

178
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,160
<i>He had been in Copenhagen
from April 5 to 6…</i>

179
00:18:36,240 --> 00:18:40,760
- It's from the magistrates' court.
- They won't release him before the trial?

180
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:44,480
<i>…his rescinding</i>

181
00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:47,680
<i>of the Norwegian government's
mobilization order.</i>

182
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:52,080
<i>He said he'd acted in the best interests
of the Norwegian people.</i>

183
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,640
"In the best interests"?
The man is stark raving mad.

184
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:59,040
<i>"I'm a martyr," Quisling shouted.</i>

185
00:18:59,120 --> 00:19:02,800
<i>"I've found myself
in a terrible situation where I've..."</i>

186
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,520
- What?
- I've had enough of him.

187
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:08,040
What's a martyr?

188
00:19:09,600 --> 00:19:11,400
Why don't you go and play outside?

189
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:16,680
He executed Norwegians to save himself,
and now he's a martyr?

190
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,480
He's just defending himself.

191
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:20,880
He seems proud of what he's done.

192
00:19:21,640 --> 00:19:24,240
He's mad. A monster.

193
00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:27,320
Heidi, we are all mere humans,
we are all God's children.

194
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,080
Could you lay off
the preaching for a second?

195
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,360
Preaching?

196
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:35,960
- Am I not allowed to be angry?
- Sure you are.

197
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,800
But I don't think it's productive.

198
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,960
He's worse than the Germans.
He knew what he was doing.

199
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:45,840
He was one of us.

200
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:53,000
The children and I were dodging bombs
while he was welcoming our enemies.

201
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,800
He traded our freedom for his power.

202
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:00,760
I want him on his knees.

203
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:06,560
With his hands over his head,
begging for forgiveness.

204
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,520
If not, they might as well shoot him.

205
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:14,360
Yeah. I'll go and get the coffee.

206
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,320
I can hardly believe it's true.

207
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:38,760
For so long,
I've had this knot in my stomach.

208
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,160
Fearing that something could go wrong
at any moment.

209
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:54,040
I feel like if I allow myself to let go…

210
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,520
…the air raid sirens will wail
or the Gestapo will come.

211
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,320
- Or a nurse will tell me...
- Please.

212
00:21:06,120 --> 00:21:09,360
All those things are behind us now.

213
00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:11,600
Right?

214
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:13,840
It's over.

215
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:16,520
I know.

216
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:18,480
I do know that.

217
00:21:20,360 --> 00:21:23,920
You're allowed to be happy now.
You deserve to be.

218
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:29,720
Dad?

219
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,360
But those two will
never leave us in peace.

220
00:22:09,120 --> 00:22:10,840
- Follow me, please.
- Thank you.

221
00:22:16,120 --> 00:22:19,200
Go through that door,
across the courtyard and into the prison.

222
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:37,080
- Up the stairs.
- Thank you.

223
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:13,680
The cell door must be left open.

224
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,880
If he hangs himself,
we can't shoot the bastard.

225
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,680
Excuse me?

226
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,560
Hello, my name is Peder Olsen.
I'm the hospital...

227
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:43,120
No, I'm a pastor.

228
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:50,720
I asked for Berggrav.

229
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,760
Yes, I'm afraid he was indisposed.

230
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:58,720
"Indisposed?" Right.

231
00:24:00,200 --> 00:24:01,840
I've brought the New Testament.

232
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,800
Thanks. The last fellow
already gave me one.

233
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,280
- So, no thanks.
- I see.

234
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,040
There can never be
too much of a good thing.

235
00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:18,320
I was just joking.

236
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:20,720
You bring humor into this place?

237
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:33,440
I don't mean to be rude… Mr. Olsen.

238
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,960
But I am in no need of a pastor.

239
00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:43,680
- Yet you wanted to talk to Berggrav?
- Exactly, and you're not him.

240
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,760
No, I'm here representing the Church.

241
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:52,840
Many people in your situation
would like someone to talk to.

242
00:24:53,760 --> 00:25:00,440
I could perhaps help you
clear your mind and find peace.

243
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:01,760
Find peace.

244
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:07,400
- Yes, if you want.
- No thanks. You know why? I am innocent.

245
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,840
I have no unfinished business
with the Church, God or country.

246
00:25:12,920 --> 00:25:16,120
If you'd be so kind as to tell Berggrav

247
00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:19,960
that I have matters to discuss
with him regarding my case

248
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,320
and not my soul,
I would greatly appreciate that.

249
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,600
Excuse me, but do you know

250
00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:52,960
the parable of the Pharisee
and the Tax Collector?

251
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,440
Luke 18:9-14.

252
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,840
Every child knows that one.

253
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,880
But the message is valid, right?

254
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,040
It's about humility,
being able to see one's own faults.

255
00:26:09,400 --> 00:26:12,920
The Pharisee, the righteous,
looks down upon the other man,

256
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,760
since he's a lowly tax collector,

257
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:18,400
an ordinary man with a dirty job...

258
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:22,560
"God, I thank thee
that I'm not as other men are,

259
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:28,040
extortioners, unjust, adulterers,
or even as this tax collector."

260
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:32,840
Exactly, the Pharisee
brags about his virtue.

261
00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:34,600
While the tax collector...

262
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:39,120
Pounds his chest and leads,
"God, be merciful to me, a sinner."

263
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,320
What do you think he meant?

264
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,120
- Are you asking me?
- Yes.

265
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,680
I thought you were the pastor.

266
00:26:50,360 --> 00:26:51,200
Yes.

267
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:55,880
It's not just that the tax collector
asks God to forgive him his sins.

268
00:26:56,680 --> 00:26:59,440
He doesn't take forgiveness for granted.

269
00:27:01,440 --> 00:27:06,000
He does what we find so difficult,
he realizes what he has done.

270
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:07,080
Regrets it.

271
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:11,440
He… confesses this to God.

272
00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:14,280
Which is why he is absolved.

273
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,680
That's why the tax collector is
closest to God of the two of them.

274
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:25,040
Yes. So the question is,
which one of us do you think

275
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,960
is the Pharisee
and which is the tax collector?

276
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:32,840
What do you think?

277
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:35,320
I think you're here on a mission.

278
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:39,840
An assignment
from that reputable Berggrav,

279
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:42,320
who can't be bothered to come himself,

280
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,720
to demand that I show guilt and regret.

281
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:45,800
Am I right?

282
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:50,120
So you and the church you represent
can clear your conscience.

283
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,120
If that's not pride worthy of a Pharisee,
I don't know what is.

284
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,200
But I have no regrets
and won't confess to anything.

285
00:27:58,760 --> 00:28:04,240
Not to you or your Sunday school theology,
even if you drag me to Golgotha!

286
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,680
Everyone has something to answer for.

287
00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:10,800
Fine, then!

288
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:15,520
What do you have to confess, pastor?

289
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:22,560
Well, I don't think
we're here to talk about me.

290
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,000
If you would excuse me…

291
00:28:25,480 --> 00:28:27,120
- …I have work to do.
- Yes.

292
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:31,880
The Pharisees
were actually great scholars.

293
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:41,320
The history books have given them
a poor and undeserved reputation.

294
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,240
They were idealists, just like you, Olsen.

295
00:28:52,440 --> 00:28:54,400
Well, that went bloody well!

296
00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:18,200
Peder!

297
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,200
Sorry to bother you at work.

298
00:29:21,280 --> 00:29:22,880
Perfect timing, actually.

299
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,000
I was just about to have lunch.
We're going inside.

300
00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:27,840
- Okay.
- Let me see your permit.

301
00:29:33,840 --> 00:29:37,240
- Easy now.
- Lift them up!

302
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,440
<i>There's a lot of pent-up rage.</i>

303
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:44,520
What's it like coming here
now that the tables are turned?

304
00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,520
When the prison guards
have become prisoners?

305
00:29:50,520 --> 00:29:53,440
There's less paperwork, and…

306
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:58,520
It's nice not having SS with me
in the cell when I'm working.

307
00:30:11,080 --> 00:30:12,320
It's Quisling, isn't it?

308
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,400
Of course. He asked you first.

309
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,320
I… just couldn't do it.

310
00:30:32,920 --> 00:30:37,440
Not after four years of spiritual guidance
for those sentenced to death here.

311
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:45,000
I keep in touch with the families
of the people executed by the Germans.

312
00:30:47,480 --> 00:30:50,800
That's why it just didn't feel right.

313
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:56,600
- So, I recommended you.
- Should I thank you, then?

314
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,280
I thought you
were the right man for the job.

315
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,320
I have no experience with criminals
or people sentenced to death.

316
00:31:08,840 --> 00:31:11,120
I tried the Pharisee
and the Tax Collector.

317
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:17,560
I think I offended him.

318
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:21,440
He was born into a family
that had four generations of clergymen.

319
00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,720
He was totally…

320
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:26,040
He became very…

321
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,840
You once told me that spiritual guidance
is just a conversation.

322
00:31:30,920 --> 00:31:35,200
- It should be a dialogue.
- I don't think Quisling would agree.

323
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,640
Listen to what he has to say.
Keep the conversation going.

324
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:52,600
If that doesn't work,
threaten him with clamps or a baton.

325
00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:23,880
<i>Every single man can walk away
from this fight…</i>

326
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,120
…with a clear conscience.

327
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,120
It's such fine work.

328
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:55,040
Making something like this
in that dark little room.

329
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,440
It was good
that you gave them knitting supplies.

330
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,000
I'm sure that calmed their nerves.

331
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:04,520
I don't know.

332
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:06,960
We never asked.

333
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,400
We didn't take the time
to get to know them.

334
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,040
We helped them hide.

335
00:33:18,880 --> 00:33:20,240
We did what we could.

336
00:33:24,560 --> 00:33:27,240
These labor camps
in Germany they write about…

337
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,840
They say several thousands have died.

338
00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,240
We don't know if they ended up there.

339
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,680
They were two elderly people.

340
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,680
What good would they be in a labor camp?

341
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,840
They've probably been in internment.

342
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,400
Do you really think
they took age into account?

343
00:33:48,680 --> 00:33:51,360
The Red Cross
are getting people home all the time.

344
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,400
I think it will take time
to get the complete picture.

345
00:33:59,599 --> 00:34:01,840
Where do you get all that optimism from?

346
00:34:03,320 --> 00:34:04,320
Hey…

347
00:34:06,200 --> 00:34:07,200
Heidi.

348
00:34:09,160 --> 00:34:10,680
I have a good friend up there.

349
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,400
You never have doubts?

350
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:18,119
I choose to believe.

351
00:34:20,559 --> 00:34:21,559
We have to.

352
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,080
Mr. Quisling?

353
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,120
I didn't mean to disturb you.

354
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,640
Well, it's you and me again.

355
00:35:09,800 --> 00:35:11,680
I thought I'd made myself clear.

356
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:17,080
We got off on the wrong foot
and I'm sorry about that.

357
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:23,760
My wife made butter cookies.

358
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,840
I believe the food here is bland.

359
00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:29,120
The food is just fine.

360
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Herring and potatoes. Wholesome food.

361
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,040
And they treat you well?

362
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,280
Yes. Perfectly fine.

363
00:35:41,360 --> 00:35:42,360
Yes.

364
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:47,760
You look a bit pale.

365
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:57,960
Please, help yourself.

366
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,560
Are you trying to be my friend?

367
00:36:07,480 --> 00:36:12,920
Judging by the mood out there,
you don't seem to have too many.

368
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:17,200
- You're trying to be witty again.
- Yes.

369
00:36:24,440 --> 00:36:26,400
Have you been able to see your wife?

370
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:29,640
Not since I got arrested.

371
00:36:31,720 --> 00:36:33,440
That must be hard on you.

372
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,640
I can handle it,
but I'm worried about her.

373
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:41,440
If I hadn't been able
to talk to my wife Heidi,

374
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,360
I would've gone mad.

375
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,560
What do you mean? I'm completely sane.

376
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:49,440
Yes, yes. I'm not saying you're not.

377
00:36:53,240 --> 00:36:59,040
Psychiatrists seriously consider
everyone in our movement

378
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,840
to be permanently mentally impaired.

379
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,240
At least, impaired.

380
00:37:06,960 --> 00:37:08,720
These so-called investigators…

381
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:13,400
…who want me to admit
to being some sort of opportunist.

382
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,960
A spineless <i>Peer Gynt</i> character
with only self-interest in mind.

383
00:37:19,800 --> 00:37:20,880
But that's not you.

384
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,480
I fought for my country.

385
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:25,760
For five long years.

386
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:29,120
Day and night.

387
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:35,320
Well, well. You don't believe me.

388
00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,040
Yes, I do think you mean what you say.

389
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:39,120
Absolutely.

390
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:46,960
But… I'm sure you enjoyed
some benefits during the occupation.

391
00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,760
Exactly. So, you think I only fought
for riches, titles…

392
00:37:52,920 --> 00:37:54,880
…salutes, stuff and nonsense?

393
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:58,280
The armor of an insecure man.

394
00:37:58,960 --> 00:38:00,160
I couldn't care less.

395
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:01,680
Just ask my wife.

396
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:05,280
I have acted according to my convictions.

397
00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:07,440
For that, I feel no shame.

398
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:13,440
May I sit?

399
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,000
You met with Hitler, didn't you?

400
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,040
What do you mean?

401
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,040
What was he like?

402
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:43,640
As a person?

403
00:38:43,720 --> 00:38:45,160
A passionate man.

404
00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,080
You can always question the outcome,
but he believed in something.

405
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:57,320
- You can't say that about everyone.
- Is that something you admire?

406
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:00,040
Belief?

407
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:01,760
Of course.

408
00:39:02,280 --> 00:39:04,480
But I value certainty even more.

409
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:09,200
- Certainty?
- You can't, like Hitler did,

410
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,600
base your politics on…belief.

411
00:39:12,680 --> 00:39:13,880
You need to know.

412
00:39:14,560 --> 00:39:16,960
Spend time finding the sources.

413
00:39:17,680 --> 00:39:18,680
To know.

414
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,400
I've worked all my life on my philosophy.

415
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:26,280
Universism.

416
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:29,400
The actual truth.

417
00:39:30,760 --> 00:39:35,480
I've given myself the mission
of lighting a candle for humankind.

418
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,520
To find the true philosophy of life.

419
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:41,960
In accordance with both
science and empiricism.

420
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:47,360
I can't expect that you…

421
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:53,960
…a simple prison chaplain,
will be able to understand.

422
00:39:55,200 --> 00:39:58,200
I'm sure Universism is very interesting.

423
00:40:00,400 --> 00:40:05,200
But what we really should aspire to
are the words and deeds of Christ.

424
00:40:07,440 --> 00:40:08,440
Love.

425
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,800
Universism is the same thing,
just greater.

426
00:40:12,400 --> 00:40:15,600
- It concerns...
- Mr. Quisling, greater than love?

427
00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:19,360
What is greater than love?

428
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:41,280
Would you be so kind, Pastor,
as to go and see Maria, my wife?

429
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,520
Just to make sure she's all right.

430
00:40:46,840 --> 00:40:47,840
Of course.

431
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:52,320
Thank you.

432
00:40:57,520 --> 00:40:59,960
And if you could bring some writing paper.

433
00:41:01,240 --> 00:41:02,280
I'm about to run out.

434
00:41:03,560 --> 00:41:05,000
Next time you come here.

435
00:41:15,680 --> 00:41:16,680
I'll see you then.

436
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,080
- Here you go.
- Thanks.

437
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:51,920
Are you all right?

438
00:41:54,320 --> 00:41:56,920
- Did you get him to apologize yet?
- What?

439
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,080
Did you get him to say he's sorry?

440
00:42:02,160 --> 00:42:03,400
Does he have any regrets?

441
00:43:23,280 --> 00:43:25,240
It's all I was allowed to bring.

442
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:26,880
It's my whole life now.

443
00:43:28,040 --> 00:43:29,360
Must be quite a change.

444
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:33,560
If it hadn't been for Mrs. Prydz' flat,
I'd be out on the street.

445
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:40,560
How is he?

446
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,240
He's doing fine, considering…

447
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:52,480
- Sorry, would you like one?
- No, thank you. I don't drink.

448
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,360
Is there something you
would like to tell him?

449
00:43:58,840 --> 00:44:00,680
I could pass it on, if you want me to.

450
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,640
Tell him that I'm doing fine.

451
00:44:06,120 --> 00:44:07,120
That I'm strong.

452
00:44:08,600 --> 00:44:10,440
Strong and optimistic.

453
00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:20,800
I'm not interested in politics.

454
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,280
Have a drink with me.

455
00:44:31,600 --> 00:44:32,600
How did you meet?

456
00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:35,480
What have you heard?

457
00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,720
No, I'm just asking.

458
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:45,800
We met in Ukraine.

459
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:47,280
My homeland.

460
00:44:48,120 --> 00:44:51,280
He was very famous: Captain Quisling.

461
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,000
He saved thousands of lives
during the great famine.

462
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:56,080
Did you know?

463
00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:58,560
No.

464
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,000
Look.

465
00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:16,920
Look at that.

466
00:45:23,880 --> 00:45:24,880
Ukraine.

467
00:45:30,280 --> 00:45:31,280
Russia.

468
00:45:34,880 --> 00:45:37,880
Thousands. Jews, as well.

469
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:45,760
Did he work for Nansen?

470
00:45:46,720 --> 00:45:47,760
Nansen…

471
00:45:48,960 --> 00:45:51,960
Nansen did not get his hands dirty.

472
00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:54,600
Vidkun, on the other hand…

473
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:00,960
I saw him for the first time
through my office window.

474
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:07,000
I could tell straight away
that this man could achieve anything.

475
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:10,640
He was to be my destiny.

476
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,440
I left everything behind for him.
My mother…

477
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:37,600
SS VICTIMS BURIED AT TRANDUM

478
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:38,680
Hi.

479
00:46:40,200 --> 00:46:42,080
I started to get worried about you.

480
00:46:42,160 --> 00:46:43,160
Oh, yeah?

481
00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,240
- Are you hungry?
- Yes.

482
00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:50,280
- I saved some for you.
- Thanks.

483
00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:59,560
- Have you been drinking?
- Just half a glass.

484
00:46:59,640 --> 00:47:02,080
We had a little celebration
at the hospital.

485
00:47:02,960 --> 00:47:04,080
With the nurses?

486
00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:07,560
No, a peace drink with a doctor.

487
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:10,560
- A peace drink?
- Yes.

488
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:12,760
It's not the end of the world.

489
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:17,200
I was at the hospital.

490
00:47:30,160 --> 00:47:31,800
Could you tell me where we are going?

491
00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,280
At least tell me where we're going.

492
00:47:59,320 --> 00:48:04,240
OSLO POLICE

493
00:49:34,440 --> 00:49:35,720
They can't be Norwegians.

494
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:38,080
They're as Norwegian as you and me.

495
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,880
This is murder.
Of defenseless people, Mr. Quisling.

496
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:49,200
This is part of what
you are being charged with.

497
00:49:53,520 --> 00:49:56,960
- How many did you find here?
- Six, so far.

498
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:02,480
- And over there?
- Eight, we think. It's hard to tell.

499
00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:20,160
Riisnaes?

500
00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:23,840
Führer?

501
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:36,600
Arvid?

502
00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:39,080
Hello?

503
00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,120
Would you kindly
switch off the light, please?

504
00:51:48,320 --> 00:51:49,320
Thank you.

505
00:51:53,360 --> 00:51:54,640
Having trouble sleeping?

506
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:57,160
No, it's…

507
00:51:59,480 --> 00:52:00,480
The light…

508
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,440
You want me to tell you
why you can't sleep?

509
00:52:15,880 --> 00:52:17,000
This place is haunted.

510
00:52:19,680 --> 00:52:21,400
Those boys you killed at Trandum…

511
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:25,360
Listen.

512
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:28,760
Can you hear that?

513
00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:39,640
It's my brother.

514
00:52:58,840 --> 00:52:59,840
They're coming.

515
00:53:41,400 --> 00:53:47,000
Vidkun…

516
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:57,240
Vidkun…

517
00:54:45,480 --> 00:54:46,840
The trial is not far off.

518
00:54:48,280 --> 00:54:50,560
They want you transferred
to Akershus prison.

519
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:52,640
Okay.

520
00:55:11,920 --> 00:55:13,680
Hold on. Hold on.

521
00:55:14,680 --> 00:55:16,880
Henrik Bergh, Quisling's defense lawyer.

522
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,560
Why was I not informed about this move?

523
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:22,800
- For security. Closer to the courthouse.
- Unacceptable.

524
00:55:23,480 --> 00:55:28,800
My client's health is poor,
and it's cold and damp in there.

525
00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:30,760
- It's fine.
- Could I have a word?

526
00:55:31,800 --> 00:55:33,440
Could I have a word with my client?

527
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,320
Could I have a word with my client?

528
00:55:38,040 --> 00:55:39,080
By all means.

529
00:55:48,920 --> 00:55:51,760
- It's only for a few weeks.
- Right.

530
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,920
The psychiatrists have found
you to be of sound mind.

531
00:55:56,760 --> 00:55:57,880
Yes, of course.

532
00:55:58,640 --> 00:56:02,160
But they haven't carried out
a thorough assessment.

533
00:56:02,240 --> 00:56:05,920
The conclusion was already given,
so I think we should appeal.

534
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:09,960
- What for?
- Things should be done correctly.

535
00:56:12,640 --> 00:56:15,600
You do understand that you
risk getting the death penalty?

536
00:56:17,240 --> 00:56:23,840
It's in your best interests to claim
that you may have lost your mind at times.

537
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:27,280
That wasn't the case.
I never lost my mind.

538
00:56:27,360 --> 00:56:28,440
I see.

539
00:56:29,480 --> 00:56:32,800
But the difference
between your perception of reality

540
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,520
and that of the court is problematic.

541
00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,920
So madness is a better defense strategy
than the truth?

542
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:45,240
I've made my evaluations
based on my competence,

543
00:56:45,320 --> 00:56:48,280
knowledge and strategic assessment.

544
00:56:49,720 --> 00:56:52,360
Surely we can make
the court understand that?

545
00:56:53,440 --> 00:56:54,600
It's your job!

546
00:56:56,080 --> 00:56:57,080
Goddammit!

547
00:56:57,120 --> 00:57:00,200
By the way, I'm in excellent shape.

548
00:57:00,280 --> 00:57:01,480
I feel great!

549
00:57:01,560 --> 00:57:03,360
I've never felt stronger!

550
00:57:35,840 --> 00:57:36,840
No touching.

551
00:57:40,320 --> 00:57:41,320
No.

552
00:57:44,360 --> 00:57:45,520
You look well.

553
00:57:49,680 --> 00:57:51,960
You have to tell Bergh to let me testify.

554
00:57:53,080 --> 00:57:55,640
- I don't understand why I can't.
- It was my choice.

555
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:58,480
I won’t put you through that.

556
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,920
No touching!

557
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,000
I told you.

558
00:58:16,400 --> 00:58:18,440
- Didn't you hear me?
- Yes, you told me.

559
00:58:59,920 --> 00:59:01,040
Your friend is here.

560
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:06,240
Is it you?

561
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:10,720
Are you going to give me a shave?

562
00:59:10,800 --> 00:59:12,520
No, I'm not.

563
00:59:14,280 --> 00:59:16,160
I just wanted to wish you good luck.

564
00:59:18,240 --> 00:59:21,000
It's a… big day.

565
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:28,160
I look like a bum.

566
00:59:28,800 --> 00:59:29,960
Not at all.

567
00:59:30,040 --> 00:59:31,560
It's a nice suit.

568
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,680
Tell me. Do you also think I'm crazy?

569
00:59:38,520 --> 00:59:42,600
No, you actually seem
remarkably clear-headed, Mr. Quisling.

570
00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,320
Considering the circumstances.

571
01:00:02,240 --> 01:00:04,520
Good morning. May I see your pass?

572
01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:06,920
Proceed.

573
01:00:07,760 --> 01:00:10,080
- Good morning. Proceed.
- Very well.

574
01:01:46,040 --> 01:01:47,320
The court is in session.

575
01:01:48,920 --> 01:01:51,640
Vidkun Abraham Quisling.

576
01:01:53,760 --> 01:01:58,480
The indictment has been drafted
by acting Public Prosecutor Anneus Schodt

577
01:01:58,560 --> 01:02:00,920
by order of the Director
of Public Prosecution.

578
01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:03,160
It reads as follows…

579
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:08,520
…"Major Vidkun Abraham Quisling,
born the 18th of July 1887,

580
01:02:08,600 --> 01:02:11,240
is hereby indicted
at the Eidsivating High Court

581
01:02:11,320 --> 01:02:13,560
for the crimes
on the following three counts.

582
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:19,120
One. Attempting to deliver Norwegian
or Allied troops into enemy hands.

583
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:25,160
Two. Attempting to deliver fortifications
or defense structures into enemy hands

584
01:02:25,240 --> 01:02:27,840
or destroying or disabling them.

585
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:33,000
Three. Luring Norwegian
or Allied soldiers to join the enemy

586
01:02:33,080 --> 01:02:36,520
or inciting them to commit mutiny
or other treacherous acts."

587
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:38,920
Will the defendant please rise?

588
01:02:42,600 --> 01:02:48,760
Do you plead guilty to any
or all counts listed in the indictment?

589
01:02:49,240 --> 01:02:51,320
I plead not guilty.

590
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:56,120
On all counts.

591
01:03:02,280 --> 01:03:03,560
The only thing I wanted…

592
01:03:05,320 --> 01:03:08,680
…was to protect my people
against Bolshevism.

593
01:03:10,680 --> 01:03:12,960
That's right, you went to Russia.

594
01:03:14,160 --> 01:03:18,320
My beloved Russia
was transformed into hell on hearth.

595
01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:20,520
People were starving.

596
01:03:23,720 --> 01:03:24,720
Mothers would…

597
01:03:26,880 --> 01:03:28,240
…eat their own children.

598
01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:33,800
It was… a betrayal
against their own people.

599
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:41,160
Back home, responsible figures
in the government were applauding.

600
01:03:42,320 --> 01:03:44,280
It spread like a cancer.

601
01:03:45,160 --> 01:03:48,280
I saw it as my calling
to put an end to it.

602
01:03:49,640 --> 01:03:52,040
- You regarded it as a calling?
- Yes.

603
01:03:55,480 --> 01:03:57,600
As a pastor,
you should understand what I mean.

604
01:04:00,560 --> 01:04:02,680
Well, it's not quite the same, is it?

605
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:07,320
Why not?

606
01:04:10,160 --> 01:04:12,320
It was a mission from God.

607
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:16,880
You think you have been called by God?

608
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,800
The prosecution can prove

609
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:31,200
that the defendant
committed treason before 9 April 1940.

610
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:33,400
He conspired with Hitler,

611
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:37,000
his foreign policy advisor Rosenberg,

612
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:40,720
and Germany's Admiral
of the Fleet, Raeder.

613
01:04:42,920 --> 01:04:47,840
The plan was to topple the government
with the promise of the King's acceptance.

614
01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:51,800
The coup d'état
of 9 April was part of a plan

615
01:04:51,880 --> 01:04:54,200
driven by cynical opportunism.

616
01:04:55,000 --> 01:04:59,520
As a lawmaker during the occupation,
he is responsible for oppression,

617
01:04:59,600 --> 01:05:03,160
censorship, dictatorship
and The Führer Principle.

618
01:05:04,680 --> 01:05:08,960
He is also responsible for the murder
of Chief Superintendent Eilifsen,

619
01:05:09,040 --> 01:05:10,480
who was sentenced to death

620
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:12,880
according to a law
drafted by the defendant.

621
01:05:14,400 --> 01:05:19,280
As well as 14 Norwegian patriots
who were executed in reprisals

622
01:05:19,360 --> 01:05:23,200
for the assassination
of State Police Chief Martinsen in '44.

623
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:30,600
Quisling's culpability
in the fate of Norwegian Jews

624
01:05:30,680 --> 01:05:33,440
also appears to be greater
than previously thought.

625
01:05:34,680 --> 01:05:40,760
Finally, I would like the court
to note the charges of theft,

626
01:05:40,840 --> 01:05:44,120
embezzlement, receiving
and the misappropriation of goods.

627
01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:50,840
The defendant claims these are
legitimate arrangements as head of state.

628
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,400
To that our reply is that Vidkun Quisling

629
01:05:55,480 --> 01:06:00,040
never has been head of state in Norway,
in accordance with Norwegian law.

630
01:06:01,320 --> 01:06:03,000
Would you like to make a statement?

631
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:07,760
For five years,
I fought for Norway's interests,

632
01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:11,840
for the Norwegian people,
Norwegian values and neutrality,

633
01:06:11,920 --> 01:06:18,800
caught in between
the gruesome Germans and Terboven,

634
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:24,000
and Nygaardsvold, who urged
good Norwegians to commit acts of terror.

635
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,880
Trandum was atrocious,

636
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:34,560
but no one would have had to die
if people had worked together!

637
01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:37,760
But you did sign the death sentences.

638
01:06:38,400 --> 01:06:40,440
You could have pardoned them.

639
01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:47,520
This is the premise of war,
the monstrosity of war.

640
01:06:48,240 --> 01:06:51,920
The Germans had to be given something.
To save ten…

641
01:06:53,480 --> 01:06:54,760
…one had to be sacrificed.

642
01:06:56,520 --> 01:06:58,320
Like horse trading?

643
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:06,560
Call it what you want.

644
01:07:15,240 --> 01:07:19,560
It's no secret that I thought England
was threatening Norwegian neutrality,

645
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:23,280
which would have resulted
in Germany invading Norway,

646
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,880
causing a bloodbath on Norwegian soil.

647
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:30,720
I wanted to avoid
Norway ending up like Poland.

648
01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:34,400
I am Norway's savior.

649
01:07:36,480 --> 01:07:40,000
You might not see that now,
but maybe in the future.

650
01:07:40,600 --> 01:07:43,880
How could the Germans save us
without an occupation?

651
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:49,520
The idea was a peace operation
with Hitler's blessing.

652
01:07:49,600 --> 01:07:52,880
He wanted to save Norway's neutrality.

653
01:07:53,400 --> 01:07:55,760
To save Norway,

654
01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:59,920
you wanted Germany to preempt England
and occupy us?

655
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:03,600
- No, not like that. I left that to fate.
- Fate?

656
01:08:03,679 --> 01:08:07,759
It is surely an act of fate
that I became Norway's savior.

657
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:12,360
This is not only my cause.

658
01:08:12,440 --> 01:08:14,759
It concerns the entire
Norwegian population,

659
01:08:14,839 --> 01:08:16,320
as the future will show.

660
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,480
No one can take away
my belief in my cause.

661
01:08:21,280 --> 01:08:24,640
I know I have saved Norway
and the Nordic countries!

662
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:28,280
We will not be getting anywhere

663
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:31,080
if you keep repeating
that you are a savior.

664
01:08:31,160 --> 01:08:36,240
President of the court,
could we ask for a short break, please?

665
01:08:41,440 --> 01:08:44,360
To be honest,
I find it difficult to understand him.

666
01:08:44,440 --> 01:08:45,440
Yes.

667
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:48,879
No one knows my husband.

668
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:51,520
No?

669
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:00,240
You have sworn
an oath of confidentiality, right?

670
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:02,360
Yes.

671
01:09:09,759 --> 01:09:11,520
We're not married.

672
01:09:11,600 --> 01:09:13,640
- What?
- Not officially.

673
01:09:14,560 --> 01:09:17,560
Vidkun was married
to someone else when we met.

674
01:09:20,040 --> 01:09:21,480
Don't look at me like that.

675
01:09:21,960 --> 01:09:23,640
I didn't know.

676
01:09:23,719 --> 01:09:26,520
- What happened?
- She refused to get divorced.

677
01:09:27,280 --> 01:09:29,679
So, no one would marry us.

678
01:09:30,480 --> 01:09:35,679
We tried many places,
in Russia, the legation in Paris.

679
01:09:36,480 --> 01:09:37,679
In Norway, she had…

680
01:09:40,480 --> 01:09:42,440
…already met the family.

681
01:09:43,480 --> 01:09:44,920
It was terrible.

682
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:47,880
Yet you ended up together.

683
01:09:50,920 --> 01:09:54,400
Vidkun thought we could live together,
the three of us.

684
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:58,320
We could raise her as our foster daughter.

685
01:10:00,480 --> 01:10:02,840
Okay. The woman he was married to?

686
01:10:03,880 --> 01:10:07,400
She was just a child,
17 years old, far too young for him.

687
01:10:08,200 --> 01:10:11,120
And you accepted this?
It was alright with you?

688
01:10:14,800 --> 01:10:15,800
I was in love.

689
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:22,160
But it didn't work.
He sent her off to…Paris.

690
01:10:22,840 --> 01:10:25,200
What did his family have to say?

691
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,640
He explained that it was a formality.

692
01:10:32,960 --> 01:10:36,040
- He had to save her.
- Save? But he betrayed her?

693
01:10:36,120 --> 01:10:38,440
Russia was hell on earth back then.

694
01:10:39,360 --> 01:10:40,480
He got her out of there.

695
01:10:42,760 --> 01:10:47,240
Right. So he betrayed his wife,
calling it a rescue mission.

696
01:10:48,720 --> 01:10:51,680
Just like he's doing now with Norway.

697
01:11:00,040 --> 01:11:03,200
You went to school with Mr. Quisling?

698
01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:06,920
That's right. We were close
back in upper secondary school.

699
01:11:08,320 --> 01:11:10,560
What was your impression of him?

700
01:11:10,640 --> 01:11:11,760
It was very good.

701
01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:17,000
I think highly of him as a person.

702
01:11:18,400 --> 01:11:20,240
He was a faithful friend.

703
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:23,320
He was good at school.

704
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:27,320
He was highly receptive.

705
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:32,800
He had interests
that were unusual for boys that age.

706
01:11:33,560 --> 01:11:35,400
He was particularly good at math.

707
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:37,920
And he was kind.

708
01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:41,960
He would help us out with our homework.

709
01:11:43,880 --> 01:11:45,640
We looked up to him, we all did.

710
01:11:46,720 --> 01:11:50,480
- He was a good friend?
- Yes, he was.

711
01:11:50,560 --> 01:11:54,920
And I speak for all
of his classmates back then.

712
01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:01,640
But there was one
particular characteristic

713
01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:04,320
I would like to address.

714
01:12:04,800 --> 01:12:08,640
One that may be
of interest to the psychologist,

715
01:12:08,720 --> 01:12:12,840
is that deep down Vidkun is very shy.

716
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,800
To a degree that was painful.

717
01:12:18,200 --> 01:12:21,280
He was often alone,
and it was obvious that he had…

718
01:12:22,680 --> 01:12:24,760
…an inferiority complex,

719
01:12:24,840 --> 01:12:28,280
even though he was
such an educated person.

720
01:12:28,360 --> 01:12:32,360
With us, in private, he was at ease.

721
01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:38,840
But in the company of strangers,
he would be silent and withdrawn.

722
01:12:39,520 --> 01:12:40,920
A loner, I would say.

723
01:12:47,440 --> 01:12:48,800
I made it an asset.

724
01:12:50,080 --> 01:12:52,760
- An asset?
- I was determined to be the best.

725
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:55,400
I didn't go to parties.

726
01:12:56,680 --> 01:12:57,960
I didn't go out with girls.

727
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:01,240
I graduated with the best grades
the school had ever witnessed.

728
01:13:04,400 --> 01:13:05,600
So, you…

729
01:13:07,480 --> 01:13:10,000
Instead of making friends,
you beat them at school?

730
01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:13,280
I had friends,

731
01:13:13,360 --> 01:13:16,360
but my mind was occupied
with other matters.

732
01:13:17,840 --> 01:13:19,080
Such as being number one?

733
01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:25,360
Are you mocking me?

734
01:13:26,280 --> 01:13:28,080
- No.
- I can tell what you're after.

735
01:13:31,760 --> 01:13:33,160
You want to put me in my place.

736
01:13:35,120 --> 01:13:36,640
Write me off as a megalomaniac.

737
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:42,160
Truth be told,
I made sacrifices for others, not myself.

738
01:13:43,560 --> 01:13:48,040
I'm sure you understand what it's like
to have something to fight for.

739
01:13:49,720 --> 01:13:50,840
To be doing good.

740
01:13:55,560 --> 01:14:00,680
That may be, but many people don't see
the good in what you've done.

741
01:14:03,680 --> 01:14:04,680
That's obvious.

742
01:14:08,840 --> 01:14:11,760
History is written by the victors.

743
01:14:12,240 --> 01:14:14,640
That doesn't diminish the suffering.

744
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:18,480
Norway was a peaceful,
neutral country who was attacked.

745
01:14:18,560 --> 01:14:20,760
A free nation forced into dictatorship.

746
01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:22,640
Weren't you responsible for this?

747
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:27,360
I shouldered my responsibilities.
I tried to avoid a bloodbath.

748
01:14:28,040 --> 01:14:29,480
Stalin was at our border.

749
01:14:30,320 --> 01:14:32,560
When the Germans came,
we had no other option.

750
01:14:32,640 --> 01:14:34,240
But to stage a coup?

751
01:14:34,840 --> 01:14:36,240
- To oust...
- They ran away!

752
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:41,400
All of them! Left their people!

753
01:14:42,240 --> 01:14:43,720
Flew the coop, like chickens!

754
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:47,360
Someone had to take charge!

755
01:14:54,160 --> 01:14:58,400
I ran into him later on,
right before the war broke out.

756
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:02,480
We had dinner, which was nice.

757
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:05,200
Then we began talking
about Norway's position,

758
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:06,760
and everything had changed.

759
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:10,880
I feared he'd lost his senses.

760
01:15:12,200 --> 01:15:15,680
He had these delusions

761
01:15:16,600 --> 01:15:21,200
about armed communist forces
within our borders.

762
01:15:21,840 --> 01:15:27,240
Bolshevik cells waiting
for the signal to start a revolution.

763
01:15:27,880 --> 01:15:31,120
He claimed
that several governmental officials

764
01:15:31,840 --> 01:15:37,240
were on the Russian payroll
to finance this revolution in Norway.

765
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:42,040
To be honest…

766
01:15:43,840 --> 01:15:47,000
…I thought he had gone mad.

767
01:15:48,000 --> 01:15:50,680
At any rate, he was a changed man.

768
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,040
Right. Thank you.

769
01:15:54,840 --> 01:15:58,240
I followed… my inner compass.

770
01:16:03,000 --> 01:16:06,320
They want to blame me for events…

771
01:16:08,440 --> 01:16:09,600
…beyond my control.

772
01:16:11,840 --> 01:16:16,160
To brand me as a scapegoat,
responsible for this miserable war.

773
01:16:16,680 --> 01:16:18,520
But my intentions were good.

774
01:16:19,840 --> 01:16:20,840
Do you understand?

775
01:16:25,040 --> 01:16:26,040
Yes.

776
01:16:30,040 --> 01:16:35,320
Shouldn't that amount to something
in this final reckoning?

777
01:16:37,120 --> 01:16:39,000
That I did what I thought was right.

778
01:16:41,240 --> 01:16:42,360
What else could I do?

779
01:16:46,560 --> 01:16:47,800
What would you have done?

780
01:16:52,720 --> 01:16:53,880
I have no way of knowing.

781
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:00,960
It's foul…

782
01:17:03,200 --> 01:17:07,760
…to accuse me of persecuting the Jews!

783
01:17:08,520 --> 01:17:11,040
I who have done such
extensive humanitarian work.

784
01:17:12,440 --> 01:17:17,280
I am bold enough to say I've helped
more Jews than anyone else in Norway.

785
01:17:17,880 --> 01:17:20,440
Excuse me, could you repeat that?

786
01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:25,520
You heard me, I have helped
more Jews than anyone else in Norway.

787
01:17:25,600 --> 01:17:28,800
Yet in various accounts
you claim that Judaism

788
01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:30,560
is to blame for everything.

789
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:33,640
And that the "Jewish troll"
must be conquered.

790
01:17:35,200 --> 01:17:36,080
All right.

791
01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,680
What part did you play in the deportation
of Norwegian Jews, Mr. Quisling?

792
01:17:41,120 --> 01:17:42,240
I knew nothing.

793
01:17:43,040 --> 01:17:45,000
You knew nothing?

794
01:17:47,040 --> 01:17:51,520
As head of the police, you knew nothing
of the nature of this mission?

795
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:54,640
There was talk
of them being sent to Poland.

796
01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:58,240
- That's all I knew.
- You must have known something.

797
01:17:58,760 --> 01:18:02,640
You've said, on record, that you visited
the camps where thousands of Jews

798
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:04,160
were sent in 1942.

799
01:18:04,240 --> 01:18:07,840
Yes, and they appeared to be
regular labor camps, workplaces.

800
01:18:08,680 --> 01:18:10,240
Nothing out of the ordinary.

801
01:18:10,320 --> 01:18:13,480
Nothing that left an impression on me.

802
01:18:13,560 --> 01:18:16,960
No, "nothing left an impression" on you.

803
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:20,880
Who knows what he must have seen?

804
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:36,040
Hello.

805
01:18:44,680 --> 01:18:45,880
Where are the children?

806
01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:54,920
Something wrong?

807
01:18:58,200 --> 01:18:59,560
I pressed your trousers.

808
01:19:01,560 --> 01:19:02,560
Yes?

809
01:19:02,880 --> 01:19:04,280
I found your pass.

810
01:19:06,760 --> 01:19:07,760
To the prison.

811
01:19:16,360 --> 01:19:21,040
Heidi, I wanted to tell you, but…

812
01:19:22,440 --> 01:19:24,720
- It was confidential information.
- Rubbish!

813
01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:29,720
You could have just told me
who it was. I mean, Quisling!

814
01:19:30,200 --> 01:19:33,040
It was to protect your safety,
yours and the children.

815
01:19:33,120 --> 01:19:34,120
Safety.

816
01:19:34,920 --> 01:19:36,760
Peder, please!

817
01:19:36,840 --> 01:19:40,240
Yes. Berggrav felt it was for the best.

818
01:19:40,320 --> 01:19:42,040
Of course he did.

819
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:47,680
Of course the bishop doesn't think
"the little lady" needs to know.

820
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:52,760
But you and I, we talk to each other.

821
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:55,400
It is my duty as a pastor.

822
01:19:56,040 --> 01:19:57,800
What about your duties as a husband?

823
01:20:14,360 --> 01:20:16,560
I went to their old flat.

824
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:18,920
Heidi…

825
01:20:18,960 --> 01:20:21,640
What else could I do?
The Red Cross doesn't know a thing.

826
01:20:23,360 --> 01:20:26,960
Apart from the fact
that they were on board that ship.

827
01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:32,600
I found these in a drawer.

828
01:20:33,680 --> 01:20:35,240
You went through their things?

829
01:20:35,320 --> 01:20:38,080
I was just trying
to find out what had happened.

830
01:20:38,840 --> 01:20:40,960
There's word of organized extermination.

831
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:46,000
People being gassed
and thrown into mass graves.

832
01:20:46,080 --> 01:20:49,960
- You mustn't believe all the rumors.
- Why not?

833
01:20:50,760 --> 01:20:53,320
All the things
we never expected came true.

834
01:20:55,440 --> 01:20:57,920
- Quisling let it happen.
- You don't know that.

835
01:20:58,640 --> 01:21:01,520
- Are you defending him?
- No, but he hasn't been convicted.

836
01:21:03,320 --> 01:21:05,320
I… You need…

837
01:21:05,960 --> 01:21:09,240
The world is not as black or white
as you'd like it to be.

838
01:21:09,320 --> 01:21:10,480
You need to…

839
01:21:15,080 --> 01:21:17,360
What if the Abrahamsens never return?

840
01:21:20,240 --> 01:21:21,800
I don't want to hear such a thing.

841
01:21:22,520 --> 01:21:26,120
It must have crossed your mind
that God might punish us?

842
01:21:26,200 --> 01:21:28,000
That's enough!

843
01:21:30,440 --> 01:21:32,840
- I need to talk about it.
- Let it go.

844
01:21:32,920 --> 01:21:35,080
We have to move on!

845
01:21:39,520 --> 01:21:41,440
And if they don't return?

846
01:21:43,800 --> 01:21:47,280
- If we sent them to their death...
- They'll be back!

847
01:21:47,360 --> 01:21:50,920
They are labor camps, where they work.
There's nothing sinister!

848
01:22:20,680 --> 01:22:23,760
Please state your full name
and profession.

849
01:22:24,840 --> 01:22:26,040
Leo Eitinger.

850
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:29,200
Date of birth, 12 December 1912.

851
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:33,360
I am a medical doctor,
and was granted a license in 1940.

852
01:22:34,680 --> 01:22:36,680
Your witness, Schodt.

853
01:22:37,480 --> 01:22:42,520
You continued to practice medicine
until 16 May 1942, correct?

854
01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:43,600
Yes.

855
01:22:43,640 --> 01:22:46,720
Were you arrested for being a Jew?

856
01:22:47,200 --> 01:22:49,400
I don't know, there was no interrogation.

857
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,760
- Where were you taken?
- First, to Molde.

858
01:22:53,280 --> 01:22:55,680
Then on to Falstad and Bredtvet.

859
01:22:56,240 --> 01:22:58,920
Then, in February 1943,
I was taken to Germany

860
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:00,880
on the freighter Gotenland.

861
01:23:02,440 --> 01:23:05,120
And then I was sent on to Auschwitz.

862
01:23:06,840 --> 01:23:10,040
- Were the passengers mixed in sex and age?
- Yes.

863
01:23:10,920 --> 01:23:13,240
The oldest was a man who was 80,

864
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:16,920
and the youngest was
one and half years old.

865
01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,240
What happened when you came to Auschwitz?

866
01:23:22,760 --> 01:23:24,840
Some of the young women were selected,

867
01:23:25,680 --> 01:23:29,240
and the other women along
with children and the elderly,

868
01:23:29,920 --> 01:23:31,840
were taken away in lorries.

869
01:23:33,240 --> 01:23:35,920
Only later did we find out
what happened to them.

870
01:23:39,040 --> 01:23:41,240
And what happened to them?

871
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,760
All the women and children
were taken to the gas chamber,

872
01:23:46,840 --> 01:23:52,000
where they were killed
with hydrogen cyanide and cremated.

873
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:58,360
- When did this take place?
- 1943.

874
01:23:59,440 --> 01:24:00,800
Describe the process.

875
01:24:05,240 --> 01:24:09,920
Well, in the early days,
the gas chambers were primitive.

876
01:24:10,920 --> 01:24:14,480
A simple barrack lined
with sheet metal to seal in the gas.

877
01:24:15,440 --> 01:24:18,120
The people were told to undress outdoors.

878
01:24:18,680 --> 01:24:21,520
Then they were pushed inside
and the doors were locked.

879
01:24:22,360 --> 01:24:25,520
The canisters of gas
were dropped through a skylight.

880
01:24:28,400 --> 01:24:33,240
Later on, the chambers
were large underground facilities.

881
01:24:36,720 --> 01:24:40,280
They had a dressing room
that looked like one at a bath house.

882
01:24:41,200 --> 01:24:45,400
They were under the impression
that they were to shower, and undressed.

883
01:24:46,720 --> 01:24:49,440
They entered without knowing
what awaited them.

884
01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:55,360
It wasn't uncommon
for one group to be gassed

885
01:24:55,440 --> 01:25:00,120
while the next undressed
and waited their turn naked,

886
01:25:00,200 --> 01:25:01,960
while they heard what was going on.

887
01:25:04,880 --> 01:25:08,320
How many were led to the gas chambers?

888
01:25:11,160 --> 01:25:12,480
I'm not certain,

889
01:25:13,240 --> 01:25:16,120
but anyone who couldn't work
was killed immediately.

890
01:25:16,920 --> 01:25:20,360
Men between the ages of 20 to 45
were considered able.

891
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:24,280
Were people mistreated in other ways?

892
01:25:25,920 --> 01:25:26,920
Yes.

893
01:25:27,400 --> 01:25:29,040
Enough to kill them?

894
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:31,040
Yes.

895
01:25:31,120 --> 01:25:32,880
Did you see this yourself?

896
01:25:35,720 --> 01:25:37,800
Yes, I saw people being beaten to death.

897
01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:44,240
Do you know if Jews in other camps
were treated in the same manner?

898
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:49,440
Yes. I know that for certain.

899
01:25:51,120 --> 01:25:53,120
Did many people commit suicide?

900
01:25:53,960 --> 01:25:54,960
Yes.

901
01:25:55,360 --> 01:25:59,320
The most common way
was to step out of line

902
01:25:59,400 --> 01:26:01,400
when marching to and from work.

903
01:26:02,400 --> 01:26:04,280
You'd be shot on sight.

904
01:26:06,360 --> 01:26:09,600
Do you know how many Norwegian Jews
were sent to Germany?

905
01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:13,640
I think it was about 950 or 1000.

906
01:26:14,320 --> 01:26:15,880
The exact numbers are unknown.

907
01:26:17,080 --> 01:26:18,480
How many have returned home?

908
01:26:19,600 --> 01:26:20,600
Twelve.

909
01:26:21,960 --> 01:26:23,200
Did you say twelve?

910
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:25,520
Yes.

911
01:26:26,840 --> 01:26:29,040
So, we can assume the rest are dead?

912
01:26:31,160 --> 01:26:32,160
Yes.

913
01:26:33,360 --> 01:26:34,560
Thank you.

914
01:26:39,440 --> 01:26:42,840
May I say something in closing?

915
01:26:45,920 --> 01:26:49,320
I recently read in the papers that…

916
01:26:51,320 --> 01:26:54,760
…Quisling stated that he knew nothing
about the persecution of Jews.

917
01:26:55,640 --> 01:26:57,160
That he wanted to help them.

918
01:26:58,760 --> 01:27:02,040
But after the Donau sailed,
Quisling held a speech in Trondheim,

919
01:27:03,160 --> 01:27:05,000
where he defended these actions.

920
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:08,520
So how can he say that he knew nothing?

921
01:27:12,760 --> 01:27:16,000
Do you remember this speech?

922
01:27:17,560 --> 01:27:21,480
Yes, I held a speech in Trondheim.

923
01:27:24,320 --> 01:27:27,280
It was probably a lecture.

924
01:27:29,200 --> 01:27:31,080
I lectured a lot in those days.

925
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:39,640
You know when you're finding your way
by the sun out in the woods,

926
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:43,360
and it gets dark,
and you don't know where you are,

927
01:28:43,440 --> 01:28:45,400
where you're going, or what time it is?

928
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:49,360
No, I…

929
01:28:50,320 --> 01:28:51,800
I wonder if I'm losing my mind.

930
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:55,240
You've always had a more…

931
01:28:56,800 --> 01:28:58,680
…interesting inner life than me.

932
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:02,120
When I think of these camps,

933
01:29:02,960 --> 01:29:04,400
the evil that prevailed…

934
01:29:08,040 --> 01:29:11,040
The worst thing is
that I almost started to like him.

935
01:29:12,040 --> 01:29:17,240
When he talks about his cause,
he seems so dedicated to doing good.

936
01:29:20,440 --> 01:29:23,000
- Like you.
- No, nothing like me.

937
01:29:23,080 --> 01:29:26,600
He twists right into wrong,
and truth into lies.

938
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:31,640
Even worse, the concepts
of right and wrong cease to be objective.

939
01:29:31,720 --> 01:29:36,440
He draws you into his sense of logic,
and you think you've got it wrong.

940
01:29:36,920 --> 01:29:39,040
Is being right so important?

941
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:40,960
There's a difference between the two.

942
01:29:41,040 --> 01:29:44,000
He calls himself a Christian,
but he lacks humility.

943
01:29:44,080 --> 01:29:48,040
That's the Nazi in him,
the leadership ideal.

944
01:29:48,120 --> 01:29:50,200
The strong man who never has doubts.

945
01:29:51,360 --> 01:29:53,040
Nothing Christian about that.

946
01:29:53,680 --> 01:29:55,840
You can only show him the way.

947
01:29:57,200 --> 01:29:58,680
You can't force him to take it.

948
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:02,000
<i>But what if I don't know the way?</i>

949
01:30:03,760 --> 01:30:05,440
Are you afraid of losing your faith?

950
01:30:10,040 --> 01:30:12,560
It's only human to have doubts, Peder.

951
01:30:14,080 --> 01:30:15,760
It's human to lose your way.

952
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:22,200
We make mistakes.
That's something we just have to accept.

953
01:31:03,240 --> 01:31:04,240
Are you asleep?

954
01:31:22,720 --> 01:31:23,880
They're dead.

955
01:31:28,400 --> 01:31:29,400
Aren't they?

956
01:31:31,080 --> 01:31:33,080
Rosa and Elias Abrahamsen?

957
01:31:39,280 --> 01:31:40,680
They're all dead.

958
01:32:53,560 --> 01:32:56,840
Good afternoon,
or whatever time of day it may be.

959
01:32:58,680 --> 01:32:59,680
How can you…

960
01:33:02,480 --> 01:33:04,280
How can you say that you knew nothing?

961
01:33:07,560 --> 01:33:08,880
But that's your approach,

962
01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:13,200
rewriting the story
to fit your twisted world view.

963
01:33:14,440 --> 01:33:15,600
It doesn't matter to you

964
01:33:15,680 --> 01:33:17,880
who gets sacrificed
along the way, who dies.

965
01:33:19,960 --> 01:33:21,880
Are you referring to the deportations?

966
01:33:21,960 --> 01:33:24,400
Of course I am! You knew!

967
01:33:24,480 --> 01:33:27,600
You held a fiery speech
about the "Jewish problem"

968
01:33:27,680 --> 01:33:30,440
shortly after the Donau left Oslo.

969
01:33:30,520 --> 01:33:34,160
- You defended your actions!
- The issue was complex.

970
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:40,720
Much more complicated than that.
First, I didn't know everything.

971
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:43,000
You were Minister President!

972
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:45,480
Under great political pressure!

973
01:33:45,560 --> 01:33:49,960
Innocent people were murdered!
That is indefensible!

974
01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:52,040
War has other rules!

975
01:33:53,320 --> 01:33:55,120
People die in wars!

976
01:33:58,400 --> 01:34:02,280
The Bolsheviks were much worse.

977
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:05,800
I have proof,
I've seen it with my own eyes!

978
01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:08,160
- Everything...
- I spent eight years

979
01:34:08,240 --> 01:34:09,720
up to my knees in dead bodies!

980
01:34:10,880 --> 01:34:13,680
Mothers who ate their own children!

981
01:34:14,440 --> 01:34:18,880
Who are you to teach me about suffering?

982
01:34:19,480 --> 01:34:22,320
I've seen it up close!

983
01:34:25,960 --> 01:34:30,880
So how far was it all right
to go for "the greater good"?

984
01:34:30,960 --> 01:34:34,320
How many lives is your "calling" worth?

985
01:34:34,400 --> 01:34:36,280
Has it gone to your head?

986
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:42,040
You had Hitler's ear,
you were the King of Gimle.

987
01:34:42,680 --> 01:34:46,400
That was nice, wasn't it?
To finally have a voice, to be heard?

988
01:34:47,760 --> 01:34:52,360
Vidkun Quisling, the aid worker
overshadowed by Dr. Nansen,

989
01:34:52,440 --> 01:34:54,560
a politician unable to capture the public.

990
01:34:54,640 --> 01:34:58,600
And when the opportunity presented itself,
for your tiny party…

991
01:34:59,760 --> 01:35:01,680
…you chose to get in bed with the enemy!

992
01:35:02,240 --> 01:35:04,640
Because there was a greater enemy!

993
01:35:05,160 --> 01:35:08,080
Had it not been for my efforts...

994
01:35:08,160 --> 01:35:11,240
Maybe you actually believe that,
but you don't know for sure!

995
01:35:11,320 --> 01:35:12,760
You don't!

996
01:35:12,840 --> 01:35:15,880
How could you even think
you knew what Norway needed?

997
01:35:15,960 --> 01:35:18,560
You don't know a thing about people.

998
01:35:18,640 --> 01:35:20,240
You chose to exclude them.

999
01:35:20,320 --> 01:35:22,840
- I didn't chose...
- Just like you cast the truth aside.

1000
01:35:22,920 --> 01:35:25,160
History will show that I was right!

1001
01:35:25,800 --> 01:35:30,640
That I acted in the best interests
of Norway and its people.

1002
01:35:30,720 --> 01:35:33,120
That I did know what Norway needed.

1003
01:35:34,560 --> 01:35:37,920
People can say whatever they please.

1004
01:35:38,440 --> 01:35:39,880
I can handle it!

1005
01:35:41,560 --> 01:35:46,320
"The strongest man in the world
is he who stands alone."

1006
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:51,800
Is that what you want?
To stand alone? Be my guest.

1007
01:35:53,320 --> 01:35:54,960
We're done, you and I.

1008
01:36:25,400 --> 01:36:26,400
How are you doing?

1009
01:36:46,520 --> 01:36:47,520
Do you think…

1010
01:36:51,360 --> 01:36:54,120
…a person can be
mistaken about their calling?

1011
01:36:57,240 --> 01:36:58,520
Yes, I do.

1012
01:37:06,280 --> 01:37:07,320
What happens then?

1013
01:37:10,080 --> 01:37:11,960
Are you afraid that you were mistaken?

1014
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:20,120
If everything I have done was wrong…

1015
01:37:22,400 --> 01:37:24,360
…then I could no longer live with myself.

1016
01:37:27,040 --> 01:37:28,640
There is forgiveness to be had.

1017
01:37:50,160 --> 01:37:51,160
I don't know…

1018
01:37:53,840 --> 01:37:54,840
I…

1019
01:38:02,640 --> 01:38:04,200
Could you stay a little longer?

1020
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:09,720
It would be nice
to not be alone right now.

1021
01:38:27,040 --> 01:38:32,040
TAILOR GULSRUD
CONFECTIONER

1022
01:38:36,440 --> 01:38:40,120
<i>It is not easy for us
to understand Vidkun Quisling.</i>

1023
01:38:41,840 --> 01:38:43,920
<i>There is a huge difference</i>

1024
01:38:44,000 --> 01:38:47,320
<i>between his perception of reality
and that of others.</i>

1025
01:38:47,400 --> 01:38:51,000
<i>Yet it is the duty of this court
to try to comprehend his personality.</i>

1026
01:38:51,080 --> 01:38:55,040
<i>Because even his extent
of subjective guilt must be proven</i>

1027
01:38:55,120 --> 01:38:56,360
<i>if he is to be convicted.</i>

1028
01:38:57,880 --> 01:39:00,760
<i>It happens that one cannot understand</i>

1029
01:39:00,840 --> 01:39:06,400
<i>or even imagine the inner life
and feelings of another person,</i>

1030
01:39:06,480 --> 01:39:11,320
<i>and in this case, we face such a riddle.</i>

1031
01:39:14,320 --> 01:39:18,000
We have tried to solve
the riddle that is Quisling

1032
01:39:18,080 --> 01:39:23,000
with the simplified explanation
that he is driven by self-glorification,

1033
01:39:23,080 --> 01:39:24,960
the lust for power or money.

1034
01:39:25,680 --> 01:39:29,640
If you maintain that this is
the key to Quisling's mindset,

1035
01:39:29,720 --> 01:39:32,480
you know very little about this man.

1036
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:39,200
So, I raise the question,
what would explain

1037
01:39:39,280 --> 01:39:42,920
how the man who excelled
during Nansen's rescue operation

1038
01:39:43,000 --> 01:39:44,680
in Ukraine and Armenia,

1039
01:39:44,760 --> 01:39:49,640
and was regarded
as being a first-class person,

1040
01:39:49,720 --> 01:39:54,560
is now in this court of law
being tried for heinous crimes?

1041
01:39:58,880 --> 01:40:01,400
As his defense attorney, it is my duty

1042
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:07,440
to ensure that the defendant's
entire personality comes to light.

1043
01:40:08,120 --> 01:40:14,760
The court needs to realize
that we are indeed faced with a riddle.

1044
01:40:23,760 --> 01:40:27,000
- How are you doing today?
- They gave me this pencil.

1045
01:40:27,680 --> 01:40:30,360
But no sharpener, no knife.

1046
01:40:31,320 --> 01:40:32,880
How am I to defend myself

1047
01:40:32,960 --> 01:40:35,240
when I can't even put
my thoughts in writing?

1048
01:40:35,880 --> 01:40:39,040
- What do you want to say?
- To explain my motives.

1049
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:42,560
What shaped me, my upbringing in Fyresdal.

1050
01:40:43,480 --> 01:40:45,280
My patriotism.

1051
01:40:45,920 --> 01:40:49,160
My time at the Military Academy.
My political efforts.

1052
01:40:49,240 --> 01:40:53,600
Maybe it ought to be more about
what you could have done differently?

1053
01:40:53,680 --> 01:40:55,000
Am I not to defend myself?

1054
01:40:56,360 --> 01:41:00,040
You will be convicted
regardless of your explanations.

1055
01:41:00,960 --> 01:41:02,560
The court requires atonement.

1056
01:41:02,640 --> 01:41:05,680
- Atonement?
- That's right, humility.

1057
01:41:06,880 --> 01:41:12,000
Humility. I cannot waver in court!
I need to be clear and concise.

1058
01:41:15,080 --> 01:41:19,720
No one likes to admit they were wrong,
but if it could save your life?

1059
01:41:22,440 --> 01:41:24,440
You humbled yourself before me.

1060
01:41:40,280 --> 01:41:41,760
Humility…

1061
01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:50,200
You have a powerful way with words.
You'll figure it out.

1062
01:41:51,640 --> 01:41:52,640
Till next time.

1063
01:41:54,560 --> 01:41:55,560
Till next time.

1064
01:42:09,600 --> 01:42:10,600
Thank you.

1065
01:42:11,680 --> 01:42:12,840
Thank you very much.

1066
01:42:23,720 --> 01:42:24,880
You're very quiet.

1067
01:42:29,400 --> 01:42:32,320
Your attorney Bergh asked me
to urge you to show humility.

1068
01:42:35,800 --> 01:42:37,360
He wants you to say you're sorry.

1069
01:42:40,920 --> 01:42:43,200
- What do you think?
- Me?

1070
01:42:49,880 --> 01:42:52,320
Do not bow down to them.

1071
01:42:52,920 --> 01:42:53,920
You hear me?

1072
01:42:55,560 --> 01:42:57,440
Do not let those barbarians break you.

1073
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:00,240
There's no one as strong as you.

1074
01:43:02,880 --> 01:43:05,960
I knew that as soon as I laid eyes on you.

1075
01:43:07,600 --> 01:43:12,400
There is a man who will not be broken!

1076
01:43:14,520 --> 01:43:15,640
That's what I thought.

1077
01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:20,360
You are Captain Quisling.

1078
01:43:22,160 --> 01:43:23,880
My Captain Quisling.

1079
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:30,040
They will understand.

1080
01:43:31,440 --> 01:43:32,480
Isn't that right?

1081
01:43:35,080 --> 01:43:36,640
You will make them understand.

1082
01:43:51,760 --> 01:43:54,080
<i>That I, who faithfully served my country,</i>

1083
01:43:54,920 --> 01:43:57,120
<i>should be accused of treason,</i>

1084
01:43:58,120 --> 01:44:02,240
<i>while those who are truly
responsible for this misfortune…</i>

1085
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:10,040
…who sabotaged the armed forces,
who drove us into the war, go free.

1086
01:44:10,720 --> 01:44:13,120
They may rejoice and say "Hah!

1087
01:44:15,440 --> 01:44:17,280
We got him in the end!"

1088
01:44:19,560 --> 01:44:21,080
I aimed to do good.

1089
01:44:22,360 --> 01:44:23,520
My actions…

1090
01:44:25,960 --> 01:44:28,240
…have been solely
for the good of my own people,

1091
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:31,400
and for the advancement
of the Kingdom of God on Earth

1092
01:44:32,080 --> 01:44:35,240
that Jesus Christ came to establish.

1093
01:44:37,760 --> 01:44:42,720
I am not aware of doing anything
to harm the people of Norway.

1094
01:44:44,360 --> 01:44:47,200
But I have done my utmost to keep

1095
01:44:47,280 --> 01:44:50,800
the Nordic countries
from becoming a theatre of war.

1096
01:44:51,760 --> 01:44:53,880
Which is exactly
what I am accused of here.

1097
01:44:55,040 --> 01:44:57,680
I have prevented a civil war,

1098
01:44:58,520 --> 01:45:02,440
tried to remedy
the invasion and occupation,

1099
01:45:02,520 --> 01:45:06,520
the enormous misfortunes
they caused the Norwegian people.

1100
01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:13,160
Do you have children?

1101
01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:20,720
Neither do I.

1102
01:47:31,160 --> 01:47:35,120
A verdict is ready for disclosure.

1103
01:47:37,640 --> 01:47:40,680
Vidkun Abraham Lauritz Quisling

1104
01:47:41,360 --> 01:47:44,960
is hereby sentenced to death for crimes
against the Military Penal Code,

1105
01:47:45,040 --> 01:47:47,880
section 80, numbers 1, 2, and 3.

1106
01:47:48,360 --> 01:47:53,800
Compare section 9, number 1
and the Civil Penal Code 12…

1107
01:47:55,440 --> 01:47:58,240
Section 80 of the Military Penal Code
is as follows,

1108
01:47:59,760 --> 01:48:02,760
"A person is charged with treason…"

1109
01:49:06,680 --> 01:49:08,360
Do you understand the verdict?

1110
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:12,760
Yes.

1111
01:49:13,600 --> 01:49:18,240
The High Court has come to its conclusion.

1112
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:22,800
You may petition the Supreme Court
should you deem the verdict too harsh,

1113
01:49:22,880 --> 01:49:24,640
in the event of unjust process,

1114
01:49:24,720 --> 01:49:28,200
or that the law
has been incorrectly applied.

1115
01:49:28,280 --> 01:49:31,440
You may request an appeal now,
or take some time to think it over.

1116
01:49:40,760 --> 01:49:44,320
I wish to file an appeal
before the Supreme Court.

1117
01:49:46,480 --> 01:49:49,200
That concludes this session.

1118
01:49:49,920 --> 01:49:50,920
Court adjourned.

1119
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:18,600
- Mrs. Quisling…
- Do not disturb me.

1120
01:50:22,640 --> 01:50:24,600
Have you heard the verdict?

1121
01:50:25,760 --> 01:50:30,200
Of course, but I cannot accept it.

1122
01:50:31,480 --> 01:50:33,880
I am a fighter, Mr. Olsen.

1123
01:50:34,440 --> 01:50:38,040
It's what one does. To the last bullet.

1124
01:50:39,440 --> 01:50:42,920
I've tried to call our friends,
but they are all in prison.

1125
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:46,440
So, I'm writing letters instead.
Here, I'm writing to…

1126
01:50:47,640 --> 01:50:51,040
I'm writing to Gerhardsen.
I'm writing to General Ruge.

1127
01:50:51,760 --> 01:50:54,040
To Stalin. Stalin.

1128
01:50:54,120 --> 01:50:56,360
- Stalin?
- Yes.

1129
01:50:57,720 --> 01:51:02,560
He's a countryman of mine,
he valued our efforts in Ukraine.

1130
01:51:03,760 --> 01:51:06,160
What do you think he can do?

1131
01:51:07,320 --> 01:51:08,960
I'm asking for mercy.

1132
01:51:10,320 --> 01:51:16,640
Someone must be capable
of mercy even after a war.

1133
01:51:21,800 --> 01:51:23,200
They mustn't shoot him.

1134
01:51:25,240 --> 01:51:26,600
I can't lose him.

1135
01:51:27,680 --> 01:51:30,200
I was nothing before I met him.

1136
01:51:31,400 --> 01:51:34,800
A penniless secretary
from a country without a future.

1137
01:51:35,560 --> 01:51:36,640
A nobody.

1138
01:51:38,120 --> 01:51:40,880
But in his eyes, I was someone.

1139
01:51:40,960 --> 01:51:44,640
I was Maria Pasek,
a descendant of Vikings.

1140
01:51:44,720 --> 01:51:47,240
The Minister President's wife.

1141
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:50,520
What am I to do without him? I am nothing!

1142
01:51:51,160 --> 01:51:54,640
Don't you understand? A lie…

1143
01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:32,800
There are many who support you.

1144
01:52:34,760 --> 01:52:36,080
I've received letters.

1145
01:52:39,080 --> 01:52:43,560
And I've written
to Prime Minister Gerhardsen.

1146
01:52:45,120 --> 01:52:46,200
With a plea for you.

1147
01:52:48,440 --> 01:52:49,680
And General Ruge.

1148
01:52:51,000 --> 01:52:52,040
And the King.

1149
01:52:53,240 --> 01:52:54,400
You wrote to the King?

1150
01:52:55,360 --> 01:52:58,560
We've met,
when you were Minister for Defense.

1151
01:52:59,120 --> 01:53:01,760
That was long ago, in 1932.

1152
01:53:02,920 --> 01:53:04,520
I even danced with him.

1153
01:53:06,640 --> 01:53:07,640
He liked you.

1154
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:10,400
Really?

1155
01:53:20,120 --> 01:53:22,000
There must be something more I can do.

1156
01:53:24,040 --> 01:53:25,520
There must be!

1157
01:53:34,480 --> 01:53:36,640
What exactly am I supposed to let go of?

1158
01:53:39,080 --> 01:53:40,320
My guilty conscience?

1159
01:53:42,960 --> 01:53:43,960
God?

1160
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:46,040
Is that it?

1161
01:53:47,400 --> 01:53:48,480
Is that what you do?

1162
01:53:49,080 --> 01:53:50,680
I can't see it like that.

1163
01:53:51,440 --> 01:53:52,440
Then…

1164
01:53:52,920 --> 01:53:55,680
If I opened that door,
I wouldn't know where I'd end up.

1165
01:53:58,960 --> 01:54:00,000
Here, perhaps.

1166
01:54:01,920 --> 01:54:03,000
Where I am.

1167
01:54:05,360 --> 01:54:07,560
But my job is to instill hope in others.

1168
01:54:08,440 --> 01:54:11,000
If I lose hope myself, then…

1169
01:54:13,200 --> 01:54:16,800
Here we have a man
who is condemned to die.

1170
01:54:16,880 --> 01:54:19,320
He is lost, damned.

1171
01:54:19,400 --> 01:54:24,920
But if I can get through to him,
find a flicker of light, or hope…

1172
01:54:26,000 --> 01:54:27,440
Your faith will be restored?

1173
01:54:31,160 --> 01:54:33,320
I just want to help him to be at peace.

1174
01:54:38,280 --> 01:54:39,760
It's a lovely thought, Peder.

1175
01:54:43,720 --> 01:54:47,160
But how can you help others,
if you're not at peace yourself?

1176
01:54:53,440 --> 01:54:55,240
You write such lovely letters.

1177
01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:20,440
"We are as one.
That's how it was, and how it will be.

1178
01:55:21,440 --> 01:55:23,880
Never allow yourself
to believe it is otherwise.

1179
01:55:25,520 --> 01:55:28,720
And should I be asleep
or have passed to the other side…

1180
01:55:30,160 --> 01:55:33,240
…the part of me that never dies
will always be with you…

1181
01:55:35,840 --> 01:55:39,080
…my eternal and immortal beloved."

1182
01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:46,360
I would…

1183
01:55:47,720 --> 01:55:48,840
I wish…

1184
01:55:51,200 --> 01:55:52,480
…you could say this.

1185
01:55:54,240 --> 01:55:55,280
What you wrote.

1186
01:55:55,760 --> 01:55:57,480
These words…

1187
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:01,480
That you would look at me and say them.

1188
01:56:03,360 --> 01:56:05,120
So I could tell that you meant it.

1189
01:56:06,280 --> 01:56:07,280
I…

1190
01:56:08,360 --> 01:56:09,360
I…

1191
01:56:12,920 --> 01:56:13,920
Please?

1192
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:16,680
Just this one time?

1193
01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:21,600
Could you please do it?

1194
01:56:24,680 --> 01:56:27,480
- Tell me you love me!
- I do…

1195
01:56:29,360 --> 01:56:30,360
Please!

1196
01:56:32,080 --> 01:56:33,080
Maria…

1197
01:56:34,800 --> 01:56:35,800
I…

1198
01:56:36,800 --> 01:56:37,800
I…

1199
01:56:40,440 --> 01:56:43,840
- Maria, it would only sound absurd.
- Absurd?

1200
01:56:46,080 --> 01:56:49,800
What's holding you back?

1201
01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:52,080
I mean everything I wrote.

1202
01:56:52,160 --> 01:56:54,400
- I put it all in writing for you.
- No.

1203
01:57:02,760 --> 01:57:04,720
Do you want me to help him?

1204
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:11,080
Because I don't know
if I can do it all alone.

1205
01:57:11,160 --> 01:57:13,440
Heidi. I... I need you.

1206
01:58:15,600 --> 01:58:16,600
Thank you.

1207
01:58:20,000 --> 01:58:21,360
Yes, of course.

1208
01:58:30,480 --> 01:58:33,160
Pardon has been denied. So…

1209
01:58:35,960 --> 01:58:37,240
I have to go to him.

1210
01:58:57,160 --> 01:58:58,880
The Pharisee and the Tax Collector.

1211
01:59:00,840 --> 01:59:02,240
That's where the Bible opened.

1212
02:00:03,680 --> 02:00:04,760
Any word?

1213
02:00:07,720 --> 02:00:09,800
Unfortunately, your pardon was denied.

1214
02:00:12,800 --> 02:00:17,880
Neither the King, the Prime Minister,
nor any others wish to pardon you.

1215
02:00:19,240 --> 02:00:20,840
So, a decision was reached.

1216
02:00:24,080 --> 02:00:25,240
How much time do I have?

1217
02:00:26,640 --> 02:00:28,000
It will take place tonight.

1218
02:00:30,880 --> 02:00:31,880
Tonight?

1219
02:00:33,040 --> 02:00:36,040
I'll stay here
with you as long as you wish.

1220
02:00:39,760 --> 02:00:41,920
I assume this must
be happening for a reason.

1221
02:00:43,520 --> 02:00:44,760
Maria…

1222
02:00:48,320 --> 02:00:50,480
Will you promise
to look after Maria for me?

1223
02:00:52,480 --> 02:00:53,480
Yes.

1224
02:00:55,080 --> 02:00:57,400
She appreciates
the conversations you've had.

1225
02:01:02,840 --> 02:01:05,280
Would you like us
to read something together?

1226
02:01:06,280 --> 02:01:08,400
I don't know…

1227
02:01:10,600 --> 02:01:12,280
Would you like to take communion?

1228
02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:15,480
No, no. Not that…

1229
02:01:16,680 --> 02:01:19,400
It's good to have one's sins forgiven.

1230
02:01:23,280 --> 02:01:24,960
You don't understand, I am…

1231
02:01:26,640 --> 02:01:28,320
…innocent.

1232
02:01:28,400 --> 02:01:30,480
I have nothing to confess.

1233
02:01:45,800 --> 02:01:47,480
Everyone has something to confess.

1234
02:01:49,440 --> 02:01:52,520
Remember when we discussed
the Pharisee and the Tax Collector?

1235
02:01:53,240 --> 02:01:55,560
You dismissed it
as "Sunday School theology".

1236
02:01:56,320 --> 02:01:58,120
And I felt foolish.

1237
02:01:59,280 --> 02:02:03,680
But it's a parable for children
because it happens to be a simple truth.

1238
02:02:06,480 --> 02:02:08,800
He who is closest to God, is he who…

1239
02:02:10,400 --> 02:02:12,760
…can admit his wrongdoings.

1240
02:02:13,640 --> 02:02:14,960
His weaknesses.

1241
02:02:16,640 --> 02:02:18,200
His humanity.

1242
02:02:19,360 --> 02:02:23,760
I have no regrets.

1243
02:02:24,920 --> 02:02:25,920
None.

1244
02:02:26,760 --> 02:02:29,040
But you told me…

1245
02:02:29,120 --> 02:02:31,400
You wondered if you had been wrong.

1246
02:02:32,200 --> 02:02:33,480
About your calling.

1247
02:02:34,720 --> 02:02:35,720
Yes.

1248
02:02:37,880 --> 02:02:38,880
Yes.

1249
02:02:42,240 --> 02:02:45,880
I was blinded by my love for Norway.

1250
02:02:48,200 --> 02:02:50,400
I should have dedicated myself
to weightier pursuits.

1251
02:02:51,280 --> 02:02:54,440
This might not be the time
to focus on what might have been.

1252
02:02:55,600 --> 02:02:58,080
Had I only been more active
on the political scene…

1253
02:03:00,560 --> 02:03:04,480
…I could have averted the war,
I saw it coming.

1254
02:03:04,560 --> 02:03:08,440
Please, you don't have
to defend yourself to me.

1255
02:03:08,520 --> 02:03:09,720
It's in the scriptures.

1256
02:03:10,520 --> 02:03:12,640
"Whoever hates me,
hates my father as well.

1257
02:03:13,240 --> 02:03:16,880
If I had not done among them
the works no one else did,

1258
02:03:17,640 --> 02:03:19,160
they would not be guilty of sin.

1259
02:03:19,240 --> 02:03:23,320
But now they have seen the deeds
and hated both me and my father.

1260
02:03:23,400 --> 02:03:26,000
But this happened
that the word might be fulfilled

1261
02:03:26,080 --> 02:03:29,560
which is written in their law.
They hated me without a cause.

1262
02:03:31,120 --> 02:03:34,080
They hated me without a cause..."

1263
02:03:34,160 --> 02:03:35,160
Vidkun.

1264
02:03:35,720 --> 02:03:37,080
God doesn't hate.

1265
02:03:37,160 --> 02:03:38,680
God is love.

1266
02:03:42,560 --> 02:03:47,000
The Jews rejected Jesus Christ
for Barabbas, a robber.

1267
02:03:48,200 --> 02:03:50,320
The same choice the world faces today.

1268
02:03:50,400 --> 02:03:53,640
Many would prefer a Barabbas
to a Messiah any day.

1269
02:03:55,080 --> 02:03:56,480
I cannot accept such a thing.

1270
02:03:58,760 --> 02:04:00,040
I need to fight!

1271
02:04:00,120 --> 02:04:01,200
To the very end.

1272
02:04:05,280 --> 02:04:07,160
I'll be more dangerous after my death.

1273
02:04:08,080 --> 02:04:10,840
You're no Messiah, Vidkun.

1274
02:04:10,920 --> 02:04:14,040
You're a human being.
A sinner, just like the rest of us.

1275
02:04:14,520 --> 02:04:17,400
- It's time for you to go.
- No, I'm not going anywhere.

1276
02:04:17,480 --> 02:04:20,720
Not until you make your peace with God.

1277
02:04:20,800 --> 02:04:22,440
I want to be alone.

1278
02:04:24,200 --> 02:04:26,360
- No, I'm staying.
- Go now!

1279
02:04:26,840 --> 02:04:28,320
- Do you hear me?
- Please...

1280
02:04:28,400 --> 02:04:30,960
- Get out of here!
- Please listen to me.

1281
02:04:33,080 --> 02:04:34,680
Go now!

1282
02:04:34,760 --> 02:04:36,200
I am the Pharisee.

1283
02:04:41,240 --> 02:04:42,240
What was that?

1284
02:04:46,520 --> 02:04:51,360
You asked which one of us was
the tax collector or the Pharisee.

1285
02:04:51,440 --> 02:04:52,520
You were right.

1286
02:04:54,280 --> 02:04:55,280
I…

1287
02:04:56,160 --> 02:04:58,360
I haven't taken an honest look at myself.

1288
02:05:05,800 --> 02:05:11,120
An elderly Jewish couple
stayed with us, in hiding.

1289
02:05:13,960 --> 02:05:16,080
Rosa and Elias Abrahamsen.

1290
02:05:19,480 --> 02:05:23,960
We… kept a crate of apples in there.

1291
02:05:24,600 --> 02:05:25,920
And one night…

1292
02:05:27,360 --> 02:05:32,280
…our daughter Liv sneaked upstairs
to get one and she saw them.

1293
02:05:34,440 --> 02:05:38,280
She was terrified,
thought they were trolls.

1294
02:05:40,080 --> 02:05:44,280
I calmed her down
and told her it was just a dream.

1295
02:05:46,600 --> 02:05:48,880
But I couldn't stop thinking

1296
02:05:49,600 --> 02:05:52,760
that she might mention
these "trolls" to some…

1297
02:05:55,120 --> 02:05:56,760
…classmate at school.

1298
02:05:58,720 --> 02:06:04,280
So, I had them committed
to Lovisenberg as being infectious.

1299
02:06:05,960 --> 02:06:10,000
Hoping… that would trick the police.

1300
02:06:12,320 --> 02:06:13,840
But they were caught.

1301
02:06:29,120 --> 02:06:31,920
Dragged away,
begging and pleading for mercy.

1302
02:06:35,600 --> 02:06:38,040
Heidi saw it all from our kitchen window.

1303
02:06:43,560 --> 02:06:44,880
They died in Auschwitz.

1304
02:06:51,080 --> 02:06:52,720
You did what you had to do.

1305
02:06:55,560 --> 02:06:57,200
No, I made a choice.

1306
02:06:57,280 --> 02:06:59,600
I could have saved them, but…

1307
02:07:03,840 --> 02:07:07,920
I chose to protect myself and my family
before helping two people in need.

1308
02:07:09,800 --> 02:07:14,480
Anyone would have done
the same in your situation.

1309
02:07:15,560 --> 02:07:19,000
That's what I've been telling myself,
that I had the best intentions.

1310
02:07:20,440 --> 02:07:24,480
But nevertheless,
my choice cost them their lives.

1311
02:07:30,560 --> 02:07:32,920
Why are you telling me this?

1312
02:07:33,960 --> 02:07:38,240
Because I acted in the same way as you,
by defending my actions.

1313
02:07:38,840 --> 02:07:41,160
All because I was afraid,
because I lost my way…

1314
02:07:42,640 --> 02:07:45,960
I lost faith that God
would be there to save me.

1315
02:07:49,320 --> 02:07:52,160
I didn't trust in the Lord,
I almost lost my faith.

1316
02:07:56,840 --> 02:07:57,840
Vidkun…

1317
02:08:00,280 --> 02:08:02,080
…do you have the courage
to trust in the Lord?

1318
02:08:06,000 --> 02:08:07,200
Do you trust me?

1319
02:08:12,600 --> 02:08:16,000
Then you should ask
the Lord to forgive your sins.

1320
02:08:17,800 --> 02:08:20,040
Then you must do as the tax collector.

1321
02:08:22,200 --> 02:08:24,800
Say, "God, have mercy on me, a sinner."

1322
02:08:28,800 --> 02:08:30,200
Say it to God.

1323
02:08:33,320 --> 02:08:34,520
Don't be afraid to say it.

1324
02:08:37,080 --> 02:08:38,320
God will not forsake you.

1325
02:08:39,840 --> 02:08:41,000
I will not forsake you.

1326
02:09:19,520 --> 02:09:21,200
Lord, show mercy and forgive me.

1327
02:09:27,840 --> 02:09:29,880
God, forgive my sins.

1328
02:09:33,440 --> 02:09:34,440
My sins…

1329
02:09:50,000 --> 02:09:51,440
The body of Christ.

1330
02:09:55,000 --> 02:09:56,240
The blood of Christ.

1331
02:10:06,440 --> 02:10:07,640
The body of Christ.

1332
02:10:10,000 --> 02:10:11,160
The blood of Christ.

1333
02:10:20,640 --> 02:10:22,880
Christ, crucified and risen again,

1334
02:10:22,960 --> 02:10:27,240
offered us his body and blood,
that he gave to atone for our sins.

1335
02:10:28,520 --> 02:10:32,320
To strengthen us and keep us strong,
as we maintain the belief of eternal life.

1336
02:10:34,480 --> 02:10:35,640
Peace be with you.

1337
02:10:46,480 --> 02:10:47,480
Excuse me.

1338
02:10:50,480 --> 02:10:53,680
Your wife came by and dropped this off.

1339
02:10:55,600 --> 02:10:56,600
I see.

1340
02:11:20,040 --> 02:11:22,680
My wife says hello.

1341
02:11:25,320 --> 02:11:26,320
Right.

1342
02:11:28,800 --> 02:11:29,800
Thanks.

1343
02:11:40,200 --> 02:11:41,200
Real coffee?

1344
02:11:44,040 --> 02:11:45,560
With a kick like gunpowder.

1345
02:11:48,760 --> 02:11:49,760
More of your humor?

1346
02:11:51,520 --> 02:11:54,480
What? No, I didn't mean...

1347
02:11:54,560 --> 02:11:55,760
"A kick like gunpowder?"

1348
02:12:01,840 --> 02:12:03,080
"A kick like gunpowder…"

1349
02:12:09,200 --> 02:12:10,200
Well then.

1350
02:12:12,520 --> 02:12:14,560
I will most certainly go to sleep tonight.

1351
02:12:32,840 --> 02:12:34,440
I've been told to make you ready.

1352
02:12:37,160 --> 02:12:38,200
May I take over?

1353
02:13:32,600 --> 02:13:34,000
It's time.

1354
02:14:04,160 --> 02:14:05,280
<i>"The hour is come.</i>

1355
02:14:11,640 --> 02:14:12,640
<i>Behold…</i>

1356
02:14:13,920 --> 02:14:16,880
<i>…the Son of Man is betrayed
into the hands of sinners."</i>

1357
02:14:24,480 --> 02:14:26,400
<i>"And the soldiers led him away…</i>

1358
02:14:27,600 --> 02:14:31,920
<i>…into the castle... and they called
together the whole band of guards.</i>

1359
02:14:34,960 --> 02:14:36,680
<i>And they clothed him with purple…</i>

1360
02:14:39,360 --> 02:14:42,160
<i>…and plaited a crown of thorns
which they put about his head."</i>

1361
02:14:54,360 --> 02:14:56,760
And led me out to crucify me.

1362
02:15:00,000 --> 02:15:02,200
And they brought me
unto the place Golgotha.

1363
02:15:04,720 --> 02:15:07,000
It was the third hour,
and they crucified me.

1364
02:15:09,600 --> 02:15:14,040
"And at the ninth hour,
Jesus cried with a loud voice…

1365
02:15:19,120 --> 02:15:21,720
…'My God, my God,
why hast thou forsaken me?'"

1366
02:15:27,640 --> 02:15:28,760
"Father…

1367
02:15:32,840 --> 02:15:33,880
…forgive them…

1368
02:15:38,120 --> 02:15:39,720
…for they know not what they do."

1369
02:17:10,760 --> 02:17:12,000
Mr. Quisling.

1370
02:17:13,800 --> 02:17:14,920
The time has come.

1371
02:17:24,400 --> 02:17:25,400
Goodbye.

1372
02:17:56,800 --> 02:17:58,720
I wish to look death in the eye.

1373
02:17:58,800 --> 02:18:01,520
I wish to look death in the eye!

1374
02:18:03,000 --> 02:18:04,240
These are the rules.

1375
02:18:41,440 --> 02:18:42,440
Peder…

1376
02:19:29,440 --> 02:19:31,520
I am innocent!

1377
02:19:33,080 --> 02:19:36,840
You are about to shoot an innocent man!

1378
02:20:59,040 --> 02:21:06,040
Vidkun Quisling was arrested on 9 May
and executed on 24 October 1945.

1379
02:21:08,760 --> 02:21:15,760
Maria Quisling lived a secluded life
as "Mrs. Bang" and died in 1980.

1380
02:21:18,280 --> 02:21:22,560
Peder Olsen came to be
an authority in his fields,

1381
02:21:22,640 --> 02:21:26,120
both psychiatry and ministry.

1382
02:21:27,400 --> 02:21:29,280
Peder Olsen died in 1977.

1383
02:21:29,360 --> 02:21:34,600
This film was partly inspired
by the diaries of Peder and Heidi Olsen.

1384
02:26:05,040 --> 02:26:08,400
{\an8}<i>Quisling: The Final Days</i>
is based on several diaries,

1385
02:26:08,480 --> 02:26:11,320
{\an8}witnesses and historical interpretations.

1386
02:26:11,400 --> 02:26:15,160
The movie is based on real events,
but it's not a documentary.

1387
02:26:15,240 --> 02:26:18,920
It shows one truth.
There might be other truths out there.
