That's enough, boys. Untie me.

Be quiet, Enn. Just be quiet now.

Juhan, they tied me up.

Pissheads.

Fancy seeing you here as well, Linda.

Enn Alling, we have come to pass judgment on you.

How long have we been friends? Juhan, could you really think that?

I guess I could. - You don't believe me?

We raise our swords till they're dull, our trumpets are dented and bent.

But they announce the arrival of the Last Day of Judgment.

May the land become barren, may all the wells run dry,

Through the fire and smoke the white ship sails in our eyes.

His diary.

This is nasty.

And the more I think, the more clearly I see - we are mistaken.

I'll head for the country, to think. - I wanted to save us all.

Yes, let's save ourselves! At interrogations and prison camps.

You're gonna sit at cafes and pray to the communist god for us.

People are sick of blood. Hatred and nationalism are obsolete.

Tomorrow, one Estonian is with us, and another against.

Should we start machine gunning everyone? Is that what you want?

I don't want that.

The diary must be burnt.

Philosophy notes - burn it.

"History of Estonia". We know our history - burn it.

Your poems:

We shall never be angels, cruel fate just drives us along.

We shall not be so lucky as to stand in front of God.

Burn it.

Books don't burn well. You need a bigger fire, like in 1933.

Liar, we're not fascists. - Cowards, stinking craven crooks!

Look at the them, Linda. They've come to judge, four against one!

So where's the judgment? Well?

Untie him.

Untie him!

One on one, Enn.

We can't let him go!

Don't hit him!

Olev!

Is the girl with you? - All on the ship boarding list.

We always abide by the rules.

You have to be back by five. - We'll be tucked in bed by five.

You really called them? - They're sitting in a forest, scared.

Move it, man! - Maybe you'll stay here?

No. Don't be daft, no.

At Männi farm... At Männi farm, a man was killed.

Kill the main sail!

Linda, let's go back!

Linda!

Stand up.

Stand up. Stand up, if you're a man.

Welcome to Sweden.

Okey.

There was a storm last night. - It's a miracle that we made it.

And that they let you into neutral waters. Not like them. - Very lucky.

You names, dear sirs. - Juhan Saks. - Linda Päri.

I beg your pardon? - Linda Päri.

Armin Päri, chairman of the Estonian National Council? - My dad's brother.

You're coming with me, miss. Mr Saks will stay here for now.

We'll see each other soon, yes? - Definitely, Mr Saks.

I'll find you.

I kiss the hand of my heroic Estonia.

Estonia still lives.

Gentlemen, if God is graceful and listens to our prayers,

when the hour of liberation arrives, we shall all stand together,

the youth of Estonia and the old meritable fighters.

We are one, both before God and our enslaved homeland.

Bullshit. Estonia needs your prayers like an arse needs roses.

Ask God to set Americans on Russians so they all kill each other.

You're drunk again. - That's why I drink. Why do you drink?

You should at least dress properly. - I'm not an aristocrat.

Got a pension off the Swedes, yes? Played too much democracy with Päts.

You're also here, big diplomat? Is it here the English helped you in 1940?

Greetings, Metta.

We used Hitler in our fight against communism, for the future of Estonia,

but you, an old meritable fighter, considered it too much.

And you...

My niece. - So I heard. You're place is there, you fool. You in the party?

No. - Infiltrate the party and prepare so we can come home, not visiting.

Who needs you here, there's plenty of sluts here anyway.

You have lost your mind. - Uncle, who is this man?

Rudolf Talgre, the hope of emigrants. - You've got a fierce niece, Armin.

As is customary at this hour, Rudolf Talgre is on the air.

My young friends, I've had to travel a lot around the world.

Youth is rebelling in all countries. Slogans differ, but the idea is one.

You're fed up with the life you live.

But in the US, Germany and France people are free

while Estonia is enslaved. That's why your path is special.

Remember that global communism is an association of conspirators.

Fight it with a strong organisation of strong people loyal to Estonia.

I'm not calling you to act thoughtlessly.

Be patient, support the national spirit, but do it smartly, quietly.

Nurture hidden opposition and anti-communism in your country.

Today's ideology is like a rifle.

Patience and an iron will, my friends, and an infinite love for Estonia.

You're proper Estonian boy, haven't seen one of those in ages.

Oh yes, I know you by your voice. - Who's more popular, me or Georg Ots?

You're from Tallinn? - Yes. - From Tallinn...

I'm from Võhma, so also a proper Estonian boy.

In the old days, there wasn't a girl who... You don't believe me?

I do, Mr Talgre, you're still... - I'm an old man.

I like you, you're like me. I need you.

Everyone here talks about what it was like at home 25 years ago.

I'll show you to them the boy is from Estonia, strong, brave, pure.

I've thought so much about life here. Linda and me... - Linda who?

Linda Päri, she eloped with me. - Don't know. Your girl?

Mine and nobody's. - How so? - You have to know here.

Like she was in dreaming all the time. - Yes, there are girls like that.

Juhan, let's drink. - Very well, Mr Talgre.

Drop the titles, let's talk like old Estonians.

Juhan, you pig. - Rudolf, you pig.

At night...

At sea, on the yacht...

I've never seen Linda like that.

We've all changed after the killing. - What killing?

We didn't want to kill him, it was an accident. - Don't shout.

They are also Estonians. The guy was an officer, now works as a clown.

We didn't get Talgre for his crimes during war, but we must get him now.

The boys involved in Alling's killing are not enemies, but may become ones.

Notes of Talgre's speeches were found when their homes were searched.

Linda and Juhan are somewhere in Stockholm, but where?

Who's there? - It's me, Ulla.

What do you want? - It's Wednesday, isn't it.

Rudolf, of all the many women, whom do you like the best? - I'm alone.

Rudolf Talgre is alone in this world. Just like Napoleon and Hitler.

Where were you? - Not your business. - Yes, I'm just to sleep with you.

That Estonian boy is strong, with good teeth. Girls love him.

But I'm an old animal, just running around in the forest.

What about Swedish women? - What about them?

Do you like Swedish women? - I sleep with you, isn't that enough.

That was me.

Was that really me?

You, my wolf. - Stop it.

Still, whom do you love the most? - Estonians.

Here you are.

Hello, Toomas. - Please, dear sir.

Sir blood brother. - Ilmar?

You're looking good, Toomas. - What do you want from me?

I thought you'd be glad to see me. We'll surely celebrate at your place.

Just try and come.

What's that? - 30 years ago, you and me planted an apple tree.

Linda, hop in, please.

Come on. Drunk Talgre and sober Talgre don't even know each other.

I'll show you the city.

I love this city, but can't stand it. I'm free here, but I hate being here.

Where would you want to be? - In Tallinn. - Go to Tallinn.

Do you know who I am? - Yes. - Oh no you don't.

But you will, because I want you to.

What about you? - I want Martians to come to Earth.

What for? - Just because.

Were you just driving by? - No. - You were waiting for me? - Yes.

I don't like it when women smoke.

Why were you waiting for me? - I like you.

Is that not allowed? - How should I know.

Could I speak to Mr Talgre, please.

What do you mean, this is his number.

Until rich Swedes love holidaying by the Baltic Sea, I'll do fine.

Hey, boys, I've got a lady here.

They're just rugged on the outside, their hearts are made of gold.

Boss, some bloke keeps calling you, several times by now.

Who? Mister Talgre?

Idiot, there's no Talgre here. - You've got the wrong number.

Faster, faster!

What's there? - Estonia.

25 years ago in Narva, we drank French champagne and ate black bread.

We said farewell to our fatherland.

A man must die in his homeland.

Drove your brothers out, like Joseph. - Don't compare yourself to him now.

Joseph was sold into slavery, and he worked for the pharaoh. But you?

I'm doing fine. I'm happy.

You used to be quite a nice boy. I never let anyone hurt you...

Do you remember? - I remember.

Toomas. - What? - When did you last see Talgre?

In Narva. We sat in an Opel and had champagne with black bread.

I have to find Talgre. - You're a truly lousy Estonian.

I've read all your articles and books. Stop picking at corpses like a raven.

You're afraid of him, aren't you? - Me? He should be afraid of me.

Help us, brother. - Do you see this scar here?

A wound? - In 1945, a Danish doctor fixed it for 100 American cigarettes.

I had a tattoo here. Blood group, like prescribed in the SS. Enough!

Why me?

We are counting on you being able to convince your brother to help us.

We gave you his phone number, you need to find out the password.

That's difficult. - It crucial, Ilmar.

Our psychological assessment is correct.

When Talgre realises we know about him he'll get nervous, make mistakes.

Keep in mind, he is an old German spy. - This is not my job, Matti.

Ilmar, you are the investigator, the prosecutor and the defence.

Who am I defending? - All our boys from all the Talgres.

Give me something to drink.

I'm not going to get into politics, the past is only a scar. - And graves.

God forgives soldiers. - But people don't.

You are terrified of fascism, maoism. Denial is foolish and dangerous.

Revolutionary violence roams the world. Watch out, gluttonous society.

A new messiah will come. He is young, free of humility and money.

He does not bear a cross, but a bomb.

I can't stand those long-haired guys. - I don't care.

Don't care where to live, who to fuck, who's in power, what the radio says.

In Estonia, you aren't like this lot here, are you?

We're soldiers and troubadours. - What?

We're soldiers and troubadours, a cold and shivering lot.

We cannot ever turn back anymore, and we'll be rewarded with naught.

We shall never be angels, cruel fate just drives us along.

We shall not be so lucky as to stand in front of God.

We raise our swords till they're dull, our trumpets are dented and bent.

But they announce the arrival of the Last Day of Judgment.

May the villages burn to ashes and villages down to the ground,

we shan't give to the devil an inch of our native ground.

We're soldiers and troubadours, in the army of God.

In the name of freedom we have become outlawed.

The horses beneath us are weary as we ride over smouldering ground.

The fire rages behind us, with ashes raining all around.

We squash and crush and burn like a powerful bloody storm.

Smoke from bridges we'bve burnt on our heels yet crawls.

The terrible clouds of darkness won't rob us of the heaven of God.

We were awake, and before us the white ship of freedom we saw.

We're soldiers and troubadours, we're the hand that God has sent.

With our hands we'll bring to you the Last Day of Judgment.

May the land become barren, may all the wells run dry,

Through the fire and smoke the white ship sails in our eyes.

Your poem? - No.

Juhan's? - You know Juhan? No, not his. Enn wrote it.

Enn Alling, the one you killed? - Yes, we killed him. - I know.

You're alone in a strange city. But don't fear anything with me.

Who'd touch Rudolf Talgre's wife? Lets' get married and leave. Yes?

To America or Canada. - Really?

That's impossible. - Why?

Where is Juhan?

I'm waiting here like a ditched lover. What are your plans with Juhan Saks?

Your friend is being fattened up. - Is that so?

He'd never be an agent of the Estonian underground. The idiots killed a guy.

Give him to me. I'll send him to Estonia. - You'll send him to prison.

He'll be out in a few years and people like that are very useful for us.

What if he'll go back gladly? The Soviet Embassy is oddly silent.

That worries you? Strange, miss Linda is also... - I've got to go.

Rudolf, you're in love. - Go to hell. - Love is unprofessional.

Hello, Hermiine and Hermann. Still in good health, old birds.

You've gained weight. - Muscles are turning to fat.

I'm fed up with it. - You're supposed to meet young Estonians today.

Finally. - But the Soviets demand your extradition as a criminal.

That can't be true.

I thought you're tougher than this. But no matter, I have a plan.

I'll do everything you tell me to. - Yes, of course. Sit down.

In order to escape the Soviet secret agents...

Mister Tomson. - Oh, hello.

Nice to see you in a strange city. - Have you been here long?

From Tallinn I went to Riga, Helsinki, Copenhagen. Where are you staying?

Hotel Bromma. - Pity, I always stay at Anglais.

Do come by, we could have a chat, look around, have a drink. - Gladly.

Better to sit here than hack ice in Siberia. This letter is a good move.

By the way, Juhan, I've been meaning to ask you...

Have you slept with Linda? - What does that matter?

Yes, of course, it doesn't matter at all.

Armin, I'm asking the hand of your niece. - You're joking? - No.

You haven't looked in the mirror. Rudolf, we're both old men.

What do you need it for? You're not fooling me.

Sensation, symbol... You want to use her to get my place.

I don't want anything. - In love!

Rudolf, go and get liquored up and go sleep with your Swedish girl.

I drove her away. Call Linda. - Stop it, Rudolf.

Linda.

Linda!

I told you it's impossible. - Armin, leave us.

What's this?

"To the editor's office of newspaper Foreign Estonia."

"In order to escape the Soviet secret agents...

"I'm forced to... an African country... Juhan Saks."

He didn't say anything about me? - Not a word.

What can I do for you? - I've usually had a different waiter.

Yes, I'm sorry, he's been fired.

Do you want to take your groom as your Christian husband to love and respect,

to carry with him the joy and hardship of life,

not to leave him until Almighty God separates you through death?

If that is so, say "yes". - Yes.

Why our Embassy has not demanded the extradition of Juhan and Linda?

Talgre is probably asking himself the very same question

and the longer the silence, the more suspicious he finds Juhan.

My brother has been fired.

This means Talgre is nervous. We must use it.

I met Barry Rose here in Stockholm. - That's how Talgre knows. Be careful.

He's not just a spy, but a specialist of ideological warfare and the youth.

What was the relationship between Linda and Juhan? - Love.

I'll try and meet with Juhan. - Dangerous. - What isn't?

Address, password and phone number. The address of the house out of town.

How will you live now? Talgre won't leave you alone.

He should pray that I leave him alone. If the Swedes knew what I know...

Clean up the mess he makes when drunk or he'll yell. - Not at me.

A sloppy man is also sloppy in bed. - You're experienced, miss Ulla.

Lemon juice and water for hangovers. Beer goes with lunch, only Swedish.

Doesn't smell when he has to drive, keep that in mind. - I will.

Your nightdress must be light blue. - You mean yours was.

You think I was his only girl? - He won't come back to you.

You're pretty and young, an Estonian, but you'll never know him like I do.

He slept with you, but he loves me. - How I'd love to beat you up.

Hello, Linda. - Hello.

We have met, in Tallinn. - In Tallinn? I don't recall.

Have you ever been abroad? No?

You will one day see a world that is so much different from yours.

It is big, complex, rich and cruel, but utterly beautiful.

Mister Rose. - Mister Tomson, hello.

How do you like Tallinn? - I'm still suffering from last night's banquet.

Do they drink differently in the US? - What can I say as a patriot?

Miss Linda, my host at Inturist. She only shows me paradise, not hell.

I don't recall. - My name is Ilmar Tomson. Juhan says hello.

Did you come from Africa? - No, I didn't come from Africa.

You didn't see him then. - Linda, Juhan is at Lidingö.

Go away. - Talgre is lying to you. Have a look.

If you need me, I'll be at Hotel Bromma.

Playing with an old man? - Some old man...

How about this? Like Pele. - Estonian Pele, that's who you are.

What if Enn was alive and we'd stayed in Estonia?

KGB would have had you.

But you should have been a bit smarter.

Your time would have come in ten years, maybe even sooner.

I don't believe in the fight for peace.

We are linked by doubts.

Youth must not be satisfied, it's the same all over the world.

And you like it?

All is lies, all has lost its value. Only youth can save belief and purity.

Said Rudolf Talgre on 24 February.

Talgre is a dignified man, I know him.

True, he's not always right, but he wants the best for his nation.

What does he know of his nation? - Of course, only you know it all.

What.

Friendship, homeland, brotherhood, that was our motto? - Was?

For me, it still is.

What's going on there?

You stay here.

I told you not to come here.

Rudolf, I went to your place an hour ago.

I'm going away.

You know what your trouble is?

You may curse the Soviet power, hate it, but you're infused with it.

Hello. I'm listening.

I'm listening.

You're not sorry for your brother, Tomson.

Tomson, leave Stockholm.

The same thing will happen to you.

I've sinned, but I'm pure in my love for Estonia. - Give me a smoke.

I can't stand it when... - I want to smoke.

Tomson is here because they're scared of Rudolf Talgre. I tell the truth.

I want to know the truth. Where is Juhan?

I could bring any photos of him and you'd believe. It was a cheap forgery.

It's hard for me, Russian spies are poisoning my entire life.

I'm scared to think what happens to you when you're alone.

Where's Juhan? Tell me the truth. - I will, but it's a sad truth.

You two make a wonderful couple. Do come in.

Greetings.

Dear sirs, don't you find that there is something symbolic in this couple?

It unites young Estonia, its aspirations, its romantic side

and its manliness, its mature experience.

My friend Armin always talks nicely. I am an old soldier.

Sirs, the situation in this world is tangibly bad.

Each day may bring changes, also for us, and we are ready.

He repeats this every year, but things still don't move.

The veterans would be happy to see you at their meeting. - I'll come.

Mr Talgre, Estonian-origin students await the visit of you and your wife.

Yes, I'm guilty before them, but... Our youth should not speak Swedish.

Mrs Talgre, I'm from TV. Would you agree to be on our Thursday programme?

I don't know. - Mrs Linda agrees. - Thank you, I'll call you.

Linda, that's necessary. I'll write everything for you.

As is customary at this hour, Rudolf Talgre is on air.

Friends, you must be used to a cheery and chirpy Talgre.

Despite everything, I'm an optimist, but today I feel wistful.

A month ago, young Juhan Saks chose to live in the free world.

He wanted to set up his life in Sweden.

Today I learnt that the KGB has kidnapped him. I am very worried.

We're soldiers and troubadours, a haunted and shivering lot.

We cannot ever turn back anymore, and we'll be rewarded with naught.

May the land become barren, may all the wells run dry,

Through the fire and smoke the white ship sails in our eyes.

Juhan, don't you think an American is the captain of this ship?

I don't want to be on his crew.

So what if he's an American? It's not about him, it's about you.

We must stop, Juhan, before it's too late.

Are you with us or not? - But who are you with?

Your bones still intact? - Intact.

You wanted to escape from Talgre? - Yes, I did and I still do.

Is it bad for you here? - I don't understand anything.

You said they'd believe my letter. Now the police will be looking for me.

That's why you wanted to go to Stockholm? No police there, eh?

I can't take it anymore. - Enough.

Where were you going in the middle of the night? - Anywhere.

Do you know Barry Rose? - Yes. - Do you know Ilmar Tomson? - No.

Everything went smoothly, apart from now. You killed a man. - Wasn't me.

You killed and you went to Sweden. And the border guards let you go.

You know why I'm keeping you here? - Why? - I don't trust you.

I gave you proof. - The organisation you told me about is a sham.

What did you actually get done? What did you strive for? - Don't know.

Maybe you just made it all up? Or they did it for you at the KGB?

Rudolf, don't be daft. - Silence! You call me Mr Talgre!

Rudolf, you pig, Juhan, you pig. You truly are a pig.

Tell me quickly, without thinking, do you know Barry Rose? - Yes.

Did you report him to the KGB? - No.

Who gave you the task, the KGB or the Americans?

We have two presidential candidates:

Enn Alling from the Democrats and I from the Republicans.

And who are we? - The electorate.

And me? - You're the Supreme Judge.

I will have the last word. - We want to hear speeches.

I'll divest bureaucrats of power. - To replace them. - Don't interrupt.

They tell us to study, work, get paid, have fun, be happy.

Enough! - What do you propose? - We have to govern, we are young.

In 20 years, youth will tell you the same thing. You won't remain young.

That's why we have to hurry. - Have, don't hurry.

What you propose is not a programme, even less so in the 20th century.

Damage and violence isn't a programme, but if we have a purpose...

What is the purpose? - Our national dignity, if nothing else.

I wouldn't want you as a president. Your ideas would hurt your people.

Other forces will come to play, we're not alone in this world.

We don't need anyone, we'll manage on our own.

I only want one thing: to be honest to ourselves and our nation.

Stop dodging the questions.

Herman!

Look at this boy. He's getting fatter by day, eating too much.

Go to sleep. - What about you? - Sleep, I'll join you soon.

Whay are you here? - The radio said the KGB has kidnapped our Juhan.

I am very worried.

What's up with you? Too much booze? Your gangsters attacked a journalist.

Hush, she'll wake up. - What if Tomson gives the media photos of Juhan?

I'll shut them up. - By shooting them. I told you to hand Juhan over.

Rudolf Talgre can only be asked, not told to do something.

Unfortunately I didn't know I'd meet you today.

This is all I had with me, but there's enough to read and learn.

Be careful. Write to me to Warsaw. They'll forward the letters to me.

Why Warsaw?

Letters to socialist countries draw less attention. - I see.

Spies are tiny screws of big politics. You are given orders and paid money.

We don't need armed bandits in Estonia, but people with our ideas.

But you'll turn Juhan into our enemy. - Oh no, he'll become our friend.

What are you planning? - Barry, will there be war?

Not sure, but if it does, our enemy's young soldiers must be full of doubts.

This is theory. - I was in Tallinn, I saw the boys and understood them.

They need food for thought and doubts, not your direct calls on the radio.

You were in Tallinn? What did you achieve? That Juhan is in Sweden?

You hate the poor boy for miss Linda? - I don't trust him.

Rudolf, why did you get married? - Take a guess. You're not stupid.

Linda is my Estonia, weak, suffering, inaccessible, devious, indecisive.

I despise her and I love her, because she's mine!

And now get out of here, I want to drink alone.

Hush, Linda will wake up.

Linda.

Linda, teach me to dance.

I'm a soldier, a good soldier.

Guess what I would have been if I'd stayed in the Red Army? A general.

But I started crushing the Russians. They fell like stinking rags.

Linda, do you love me?

Where to now?

Hotel Bromma.

He went to his country house. - Where was he before? - University.

Jakob, go there with Olev and Heino in the morning. - Why?

We'll judge him. I don't think he'd rat on us, but he needs to be judged.

Juhan, stop this nonsense.

Look at me.

You have the eyes of a spy. - Let me go.

Time to have lunch.

Want some food? - Where's Linda? - At home. My home, she's my wife.

I divide all men into three classes.

The first are those who have only read about rifles.

The second class have held a rifle. True men have shot a machine-gun.

You're not a true man.

Straight to gorge... How could Linda have loved you?

There, he's free.

And that's all, Matti. Did I act stupidly? - No, why?

Well, yes, your move with Linda. - We agreed I'd play an ace if needed.

You sure about her? She won't cross us? - No. She came to me.

Well, I guess we'll wait. There must be some justice in this world.

I've started to doubt that.

You're a merciless man, Ilmar. See what you've done to your brother.

Toomas, be a mate, turn on the TV.

Mrs Talgre, was it hard to leave your homeland? - I didn't think about it.

Do you like Sweden more than Estonia? - Do you like another country more?

Brilliant. Would you like this show to be seen in Tallinn? - Oh yes.

Mr Talgre, what would you say to your peers in Estonia?

Rudolf Talgre is hiding my friend Juhan Saks in his villa at Lidingö.

The student with whom you left Estonia? - Yes.

Help him.

Your accusations are serious. We know that Talgre was an SS officer.

How can you prove he's working with the English or American intelligence?

That's it, Talgre.

Sweden won't tolerate a double agent. We have the documents to prove it.

You asked what I would say to people in Tallinn.

I am worried. I am very worried.

I know how you're feeling, miss Linda. I understand it very well.

I buried my mother three years ago and was left alone like you now.

I apologise for waiting here for you. I am a total stranger to you.

It is good that you are not alone at this difficult and bitter time.

I'm going to Männi farm.

We're soldiers and troubadours, a cold and shivering lot.

We cannot ever turn back anymore, and we'll be rewarded with naught.

Hello. Yes, it's me.

What veterans? Oh yes, I recall. Yes, I'll be there.

What is it? - I'm going away.

Where to? - It is Wednesday today.

How do I get to Männi farm?

How do I get to Männi farm?

How do I get to Männi farm?

You don't know? Okey.

Yes, thank you.

How do I get to Männi farm?
