Atlantic Crossing

-Olav? -Yes?

Do I look nice? Hey...

No, keep it on.

Hello, cowboy.

-The hat looks nice on you. -Do you think so?

The knots have to be wider.

-Like this. -Why?

Because everything is bigger in America.

So I've noticed.

So...

One more time.

Now?

Hello, cowgirl.

Your Highnesses, we're almost there.

Okay, thank you.

Don't mind that.

-Oh my God! -What is it?

Are we there?

Perfect. Right?

One more time.

We're coming.

After you.

Hooray!

Your Highness, picture, sir?

Your Highness! Picture!

Prince Olav! What is your impression of America?

It's wonderful.

Everyone's been splendid. It's a beautiful country.

Princess Märtha, what do you like best about America?

My husband.

Oh God...

-It's so embarrassing. -It's wonderful.

"My husband".

I wish my missus would say the same thing.

Well, keep on wishing.

Oh, this is a good one. Cowboys.

No wonder you've become so popular. America's new sweethearts!

Just like Eleanor and me.

So, Your Highness, what do you think about war breaking out in Europe?

Well, I'm not sure...

It seems that Hitler does not want to wage war on the west.

Poland is a different matter.

-Is an invasion imminent? -Eleanor, please!

Give the man a break. They're on holiday.

Excuse me. I have to go see what's cooking in the kitchen.

I hope it's food.

Besides, I've heard Franklin's jokes a couple of times before.

Poor Eleanor. Brilliant mind. Capable of anything.

Except relaxing.

Grandpa! We lost our ball!

Oh, well... Fetch it!

It's in the pool!

-Jones! -I'll get it.

-Very kind. -I'll have a little swim.

-Very nice of him. -Yes.

My husband.

-Have you enjoyed your tour? -Very much.

I have fallen in love with America.

Well, America has fallen in love with you.

Tensions between Germany and Britain have grown-

-since the Allies declared war on the Nazis.

It is no longer a question of whether this will lead to full-on attacks,-

-but more who strikes first and where the battle will be.

After the invasion of Poland, German aggression...

Why are you sitting here alone in the dark?

-Aren't you coming to supper? -Hitler.

-He certainly isn't invited. -He wants to make a move northward.

-Norway? -Or Denmark. Or both.

-But those countries are neutral. -Explain that to Hitler.

Can he afford to establish another front?

He can't afford not to. Whoever controls Norway, controls the steel,-

and the Germans need a lot of it.

-When could this happen? -Anytime.

Soon.

Those poor people.

I hope they're prepared.

Has the Crown Princess looked at the form for the Women's Work Aid?

-You can put it in my calendar. -Very well.

And then there's the press.

-Find some excuse. -I have already declined.

Good. What is that noise?

-Okay. Let's try the curtains now. -Grab them, then.

-What are you doing? -We're putting up blackout curtains,-

Your Highness.

But I haven't ordered any blackout curtains!

I did.

-Please continue. -Thank you, Your Highness.

-Blackout curtains? -Yes.

German warplanes have been observed over Norway.

They're not on their way here?

No, the Cabinet doesn't think so.

But the English want to mine Norwegian waters.

To stop the Germans.

-You did! -No, I didn't!

Can you be the bear?

-Not right now, Harald. -You're so annoying!

Mom! Ragnhild put snow down my neck!

-You did it to me first! -No, I did not!

Mom, your nose is bleeding again.

Put on some dry clothes now. You too, Harald.

Come on, Harald...

-Here. -Thank you.

-You can go home now. -Are you sure?

Yes.

Everyone wonders what is happening about the war.

So far it is the small neutral states-

-that are bearing the brunt of German malice and cruelty.

And above all, the Norwegians have their ships destroyed-

-whenever they can be caught upon the high sea.

Mom, look! Planes!

Every one of them is wondering which will be the next victim.

They're German!

All of them hope that the storm will pass-

-before their turn comes to be devoured.

But I fear the storm will not pass.

It will spread to the south, it will spread to the north.

It will rage, and it will roar, ever more loudly, ever more widely.

There is no chance of a speedy end, except through united action.

Grandpa!

My little girls! It's so nice to see you!

And there's mom and little Hajan!

Hi, darling.

Hello, my dear.

Hi. Come on.

-Is everyone done? -Yes, thank you.

-Delicious trout. Thank you. -Thank you, Your Majesty.

Did you hear Churchill's speech on the BBC on Saturday?

He said that if the neutral nations sympathizing with England,-

-had stood together, there'd be no war.

The Cabinet is too passive.

They lack the courage to go against Hitler and to mobilize.

Don't worry about this. It's just grown-ups talking. Right?

Of course! We have no idea what we're talking about.

Just nonsense in the newspapers. "War, blah-blah, war, blah-blah."

I hope we're not having ice cream for dessert?

-We are. -But the kids don't like it.

-Yes, we do! -Really?

-But not you, Hajan? -Yes!

Well, then I'll also have some if I must.

Ragnhild, brush your teeth.

-Should I take mommy? -Take mom!

No, don't take me! No!

-No! No! -Just a little bit.

Don't.

-A phone call for the Crown Prince. -Take a message.

It seems important.

Thank you. Yes, hello?

The teacher said I got a good grade on the test.

I'm happy, because I studied a lot.

What's wrong?

The Germans have bomb...

-What? -We'll talk about it later.

It's nothing.

Harald.

Get out of the water.

Don't do that.

Stop it.

Harald!

Good night.

Good night.

What is it?

-Are the Germans coming here? -No, they aren't coming here.

Norway is neutral.

That means that no one is allowed to attack us.

-Are you sure? -Yes.

Not even the Germans.

Do you really think Hitler will leave us alone just because we're neutral?

-Please. -But do you believe that?

No one has ever gone to war against a neutral country.

The Germans don't care.

They've attacked "Mira", a passenger ship.

Oh my God...

-How many...? -They got away.

But it's a ship full of women and children.

You understand how serious this is, right?

And the Cabinet does nothing.

They haven't even sent out orders to mobilize...

Calm down. Please.

And now...

I'm going to let this go.

Just for a few hours.

Yes.

-Good evening. -Your Highness.

-Hambro. -Good evening.

-Your Highness. -Koht.

I'm not sure if the story is true or not.

-Your Royal Highness. -Mr. Prime Minister.

-Good evening. -Your Highness.

You came just in time. Hambro's on his third glass.

How will Norway respond to the attack on "Mira"?

We have to respond.

It went well. The ship made it to port.

More than a hundred civilians could have perished.

I suggest we expel all German ships from Norwegian territorial waters.

Not only the Germans are infringing on our sovereignty. The English...

They've never attacked our ships!

Neutrality means protecting our independence-

and freedom from both parties.

The German Navy has sunk 54 Norwegian merchant ships!

Hundreds of our sailors have lost their lives,-
