Olsenbanden gir seg aldri!

OSLO GAOL

Hi, Egon.

Hello, old boy. Brilliant to see you. Sorry I was napping. I was worn out.

- Worn out? You? - Oh, yes.

We're really working hard.

- And Kjell? - No, he's at home.

- He couldn't get out. - Too much trouble?

It's Valborg, you know. She's out of control.

- Drive, then. - Hang on. I remembered the cigar.

Damn. I'm really sorry, Egon.

What a welcome.

I've been inside for longer than ever before. I thought you missed me.

This is not the way to Kjell's place.

- Relax. They have moved. - Moved?

That's why Kjell couldn't be here. Valborg is behaving like a general.

They moved into a tower block.

Hang the pictures when you're done with the curtains. Let's get sorted.

The plants need new soil. But I'd better do that, I think.

I have green fingers. That's what my sisters say.

What fingers does she have? She's pregnant again.

And then you have to hang up the ceiling light.

Good to see you, Egon. We've really got our hands full.

Kjell is all thumbs. I'll get hammer and nails. You can hang the pictures.

Really, Valborg. Egon just got out of gaol.

- We have to bid him welcome. - And have a drink.

- But we're so busy now. - But Valborg. We always...

OK, then. But just five minutes. Watch the time!

- Yes, sir! - But... Did you see that, Kjell?

As you can see things have changed while you were inside, Egon.

Have you noticed that we have moved?

We decided to change our lives and our outlook on things.

We have to get settled here, so don't just sit around.

Here we are.

Here you go.

And thank you. May luck be on our side.

Could I have a glass, please?

- Sorry? - I prefer my beer in a glass.

Yes, of course. No problem.

- Did you inherit? - No. Why?

Did you pull off a caper on your own, then?

- No, not at all. - No.

You can't buy a place like this with small change.

Oh, no. They forced this flat on us. We're being relocated.

Relocated? What does that mean?

They tore down our old place.

The whole street was condemned. So we ended up here.

- I didn't lift a finger. - No.

Manual labour was never your strong suit.

I didn't say anything about lifting manuals.

Give it a rest. This is making me tired. Here you go.

Well, cheers.

- Cheers. - Cheers. Brilliant to see you, Egon.

Welcome back out, Egon.

You can put hooks in these curtains while you're sitting down.

Go ahead. Kjell knows how to do it.

Trust me on this.

Well, cheers.

This is just like in the old days. Almost...

You weren't supposed to sit there all day.

Before you get too comfortable, we'd better tell you once and for all.

From now on we will not be involved in any criminal unlawfulness.

It doesn't fit with the neighbourhood, you know?

Kjell and I have to get our finances sorted.

We'll do what everybody does.

We'll borrow some here and there, and then we'll be acceptable.

Bravo, Valborg! I knew it. You're the only one who understands.

These two numbskulls don't get it at all.

You're so right, Egon.

They still think small change and petty crime is the way forward.

But no. Illegal crime doesn't pay any more.

Let's stick to the legal ones. They don't understand.

- But you understand, Valborg. - Yes. Well...

Yes, we are not stealing money. We're borrowing it.

And we'll invest that money and make it grow -

- so it sorts out our financial circumstances. That's my plan.

That's good, Egon!

Then of course you should be involved, Kjell.

I'm meeting my sister. We're buying a pram.

Don't forget the pictures, Kjell.

- How did you do that? - That was manipulation.

- Manipula... what? - Manipulation.

This time my cellmate was MBA Brock-Larsen.

He made me understand the opportunities of our time.

- What are they? - We must control a company.

- A company? - A limited company.

It's easier than you think. We need to get a majority holding.

- Then we'll control the company. - Of course...

- Which company, then? - Steen & Strøm.

- Steen & Strøm? - Oh, Steen & Strøm.

It's owned by Team Finans, a holding company.

- What's a holding company? - A company that owns companies.

They own Drøbak Dock, Tjøme Shipyard, Groruddalen Ski Factory, -

- Norwegian Fireworks and Steen & Strøm.

- It's a big one, then. - It's the largest one of its kind.

Team Finans is in the same building as the consumers' ombudsman, -

- and therefore it is closely guarded.

We need the accounts from a safe in the managing director's office.

It's starting to look like an old-fashioned caper.

Wasn't this legal?

The only illegal thing here is hiding the real accounts.

Hello? Hello?

POWER

Hello? Who? No, you have to call a different number.

I see. Just a moment, I'll get her.

- What is going on? - It's probably just a fuse.

- Won't you please check? - Well...

- What's going on? - It must have been lightning.

- We weren't hit by lightning. - No.

Where will you be having your lunch today?

- I don't want to be disturbed. - Of course not.

- What's this then? - The telephone.

Yes, I heard it too.

Hello? Hello?

Is anyone there?

- There was no one there. - Must've been a wrong number.

Don't get cheeky.

- I'm off to a meeting. - Enjoy your lunch.

- I don't know what you mean. - Of course not.

I see. Just a second. I'll get her for you.

I have someone on the phone for you. It's a man!

- Can't you make him call me here? - He's in a booth and has no coins.

Can't they say who they are?

This is exciting.

Yes? Hello? Hello?

Hello. Hi... Hi.

That was strange. He sounded exciting too.

If you're looking for excitement, just let me know.

You're just as exciting as Saturday night telly.

ANNUAL ACCOUNTS

Brilliant, Egon. How about that?

It wasn't too bad. Two minutes and 43 seconds.

All that water and the fire engines. But don't you think...

We're not in deep water. It was easier than sneaking aboard the tram.

- And nobody saw us. - We're not through yet.

You're a genius, Egon. Tell us what to do.

Let's get down to our stockbroker.

- Do you want to fool him too? - No, let's get the finances sorted.

- Yes, that's what Valborg said. - That's right.

I'll talk to Brock-Larsen's successor Hallandsen. I'll be a while.

- But shouldn't we..? - Shouldn't we go with you?

No way. It's a stockbroker. I can't bring just anyone.

- This is when they usually fool you. - Thanks, that's enough.

- We aren't just anybody. - We are partners.

- It's more democratic. - All right. Come along then.

- And your name was? - Olsen. Egon Olsen.

- I see. - Brock-Larsen sends his regards.

We've just spent quite a few months together.

- A very pleasant gentleman. - Really?

- What is it about? - I have some documents for you.

In return you will help us set up a number of companies -

- and hand over the controlling interest in a particular company.

What particular company did you have in mind?

- Steen & Strøm. - Really? Steen & Strøm.

What are these documents?

- Here you go. - Thank you.

Well, that was quite a surprise. Please excuse me.

- I'll talk to the broker. - Of course.

Brilliant, Egon. That wiped the smile off his face.

But where did he go? He took all the documents.

Don't worry. We gave them something to think about.

- Well, I must say. - These are the accounts.

No doubt. Have you seen the balance sheet?

Yes. It's actually worse than we had dared hope.

Great. And what does Olsen expect from us in return?

To set up some companies. Shelf companies, I assume.

And the controlling interest in Steen & Strøm.

Really? We'll keep Steen & Strøm out of this, but take care of it.

- And take good care of him. - You can be sure of that.

Make sure that he signs all the documents, Hallandsen.

Of course.

The stock exchange, the employers' association and the minister, please.

Yes, in that order.

Thank you. That's all sorted then.

- No, Steen & Strøm is missing. - We have to check up on that.

We had a deal. Team Finans owns the majority of Steen & Strøm.

Steen & Strøm was to be kept aside when EMCA buys Team Finans.

EMCA?

The European Multi Continental Association, EMCA, -

- wants to take over all European trade.

They call it harmonization.

When that happens, they will control everything.

Everything? Can that be done?

Everything can be done. The politicians must think of the voters.

But the multinational corporations don't have to.

They just have to think of the facts.

Management, budget control, profitability, -

- remove everything that isn't profitable. They'll do just fine.

Yes, that sounds lovely.

And we ought to tell the press that?

Are you insane, Holm? No one must know.

That would be an utter catastrophe.

People have to believe that the politicians are in charge.

What else should they believe?

No, police work is not about depriving people of their beliefs.

No, our job is to step in when we are ordered to.

And until that happens, we have to yield to the free market forces.

What are you saying? Steen & Strøm?

- Isn't it phenomenal? - I don't believe it. Steen & Strøm.

- We could get new furniture. - Yes, we probably could.

Yes. We'll get rid of all the old crap. Right, Egon?
