Redoubt (2025) Movie Script
Pat yourself.
I can pat your head.
Can pat your head.
Pat...
Pat your head.
I can pat your head.
Pat...
Pat your head.
Pat your head...
Clap, clap...
Look...
Sometimes we go far down the road
when he comes.
To look at him in peace.
He speaks for himself.
And sings.
We cycle to the house.
Stands a little far away.
He likes it when we're there.
He builds and builds.
It becomes like a swallow's nest.
Almost.
As the sower perceives God's good pleasure
in poor and rocky soil
So praise your God, you my body, today
for the sake of the road and the burdens
For the strength and the will, for the failure of the step
for clear and strict commands
for earthly deeds and earthly duties
I thank you, God of heaven.
It comes so quietly, your day of rest
with peace and with holy calm
Your demand is so great
and my strength so weak
So teach me, O Lord, to believe
to dedicate my work to the cause of your love
and forget my own life
-Now you put it down so slowly.
-Yes.
What do you want?
Rail.
Okay.
It's a little one-trick pony.
Yes.
Two, four, six, eight.
Two, four, six, eight...
Two, four, six, eight.
Two, four, six, eight...
That's it.
That's it...
That's it.
This-this.
That's it.
It.
Okay.
The war...
That's it.
Okay.
Already...
Okay.
Already...
Okay.
Already...
Okay.
Already...
It.
It...
That's it.
...coming.
Aaron!
Rap on, Karl!
Look at him...
No, no, no!
Put that stuff away.
There are actually people using them.
-I use everything.
-Do you use everything? Do you pay for it?
Stop it now! Stop it now, please.
Damn, I'm so tired of you.
I can't take it anymore.
-Have you screwed up here?
-No, I don't have it.
And the generator, then? What are we going to do there?
-It seems to be good.
-Yes, yes. Kanon.
Are you okay? Did you get it loose?
Please...?
Yes, great.
Put them there. Put them there, I say.
You're going to get some tires from me now.
But this is absolutely the last time, Karl!
You're burning the tires.
It's poison. It's toxic.
You would have already coughed yourself to death.
So, it doesn't work that way.
-Stefan, I... No.
-That's enough.
Everyone was at the church.
So the world became cold and dark,
like night in the middle of the day.
The birds became silent.
Someone shouts:
"War is coming!"
It's Karl.
He runs towards us.
Falling forward in the darkness.
Everyone is looking at him.
Karl!
Karl.
You don't need to rush like that.
Slow down, Karl!
We have at least twenty years left.
Why so hurry?
Spread it out a little.
Spread out.
Spread out, spread out...
But you'll be buried alive
under the concrete.
I mean, I don't understand what you're doing.
With house and...
House - protection.
Stephens.
...two, three, four, five!
-Karl!
-Karl-Goran!
Come on, then! Karl!
Levi, here we are! Levi!
Come on, then!
People just talk and talk.
-They're not like you.
-Don't...
They just want to know everything,
and everything should be the same.
They are idiots.
"Falun 1666."
"So come here in great haste
an unnatural rain"-
-"whose like no man
have previously seen or heard."
"Some thought
that it would be the last day."
"It wasn't like rain usually is."
"The river quickly became so big
that the water stood like a lake"-
-"even from the nearest of the city's
copper huts up to the mining edge."
"Yes, you could row boats between them."
You laugh in the same place every time.
-The rain made its way through the city.
-Yes.
"The year of crisis in rslsa."
"At midsummer, the earth was
abundantly covered with lovely grass"-
-"and a lot of grain."
"So that all people thought that it
"There would be enough grain in the land."
"The first of August,
when the people were at Skara market"-
-"then there came so much rain and flood
that all the bridges floated away."
"The people had great difficulty with
how they would get home again."
"And the water ran over fields and meadows..."
"...so that all the grain and grass
was ruined."
"And in the fall the cold was so strong
that no fish came ashore."
Johanna.
We run hand in hand.
If you lose your grip
is it over with one.
You get blown up on a mine.
The others must wear one.
When everyone has been left, it's over.
Then we continue to gather at the fort.
We have hidden spears and knives.
And nail.
We're moving there.
The war is coming.
Karl.
Karl?
I thought you loved this tree.
Karl?
I have a big one for you today.
That's why I come all the way.
Look!
-It's the pension.
-"Karl-Gran Persson, Sderto number 11."
You are now retired.
It's safe.
Yes, three thousand. Crush.
Yes.
The most...
They want to know what it's for.
Huh? Yes, it was to build on at home.
Karl-Goran.
Yes, Persson, yes. Sderto number 11.
And then planed floorboards too.
And?
Maybe fifteen square meters,
or something like that.
Yes, and then take the nicest ones you have now.
Okay. Yes, I'll say that.
I'll say hello. Hello!
"It's not a human being
who can carry it on their backs."
But you got so much for your money.
so they can deliver it to you.
"One of our most important assets"-
-"in order to"...something.
"One of our most important assets
when something threatens us"-
-"is our desire to help each other."
"If you are prepared
you contribute to the whole country"-
-"better will cope"
a severe strain."
"All information about
that the resistance will cease are false."
If you hear what I say...
Listen to what I say!
If you hear the signal, go indoors.
Close doors. Close doors, close windows.
Close ventilation.
You don't belong to any particular shelter.
You use whatever is closest.
Where you live.
Where you are during the day.
One for all.
One for all...
Sjberg.
And Martha.
Olsson.
Nilsson.
And...
...Stephens.
And...
...the king.
The memories come to me so often
Now it's all gone, I don't understand
Gone is the house where the ivy clung
Gone is the gate where we stood and hung
Happy street you like every day
heard our glam
Once upon a time there were roses here
where a city is now rapidly growing
Happy street, you are no more
You've disappeared with entire neighborhoods
The game has fallen silent, the song has fallen silent
High above the ground, the concrete floats
When I came back, everything was so changed.
Trampled and ravaged, ruined and defiled
Shall between these tall houses one day
rise a song?
Equally wondrous and beautiful
like the one we heard once
Yes, everything is gone, that's just how it is
Still, I don't want to understand.
that my idyll that everyone wants to forget
now is a dream
that I once dreamed of
Everything is gone, the house and the linden tree
and my friends scattered to the wind
Happy street
It's time that has dragged on here.
You have to give way now.
for asphalt and for macadam
Happy street, you are no more
You've disappeared with entire neighborhoods
The game has fallen silent, the song has fallen silent
High above the ground, the concrete floats
When I came back, everything was so changed.
Trampled and ravaged, ruined and defiled
Shall between these tall buildings one day...
Alcohol stove and fuel.
-Flashlight. Headlamp.
-Headlamp.
Kerosene-powered elements.
-Home pharmacy and extra medications.
-Extra medications.
Cans with tap.
Are you corrupting the youth, Karl?
Untidy clothes.
Buckets with lids.
-And cream.
-Cream.
We also know a nice song.
If I could just borrow these.
Redo?
One, two, three...
Jerk me off with white gloves on
That's the only way it can go.
It was a very long time ago...
The King was apparently in Malm today.
He probably wants to come and inspect.
your fortress, now that he's here.
See how it holds up.
Jerk me off with white gloves on,
that's the only way...
They are so stupid.
Karl!
Time for inspection!
Karl!
Karl!
Karl!
We know you're there!
Karl!
Hello?
No one understands that Karl wants to help.
He continues to build.
The walls are growing...
...in all directions.
We don't see him that often anymore.
But we hear him singing from the tower.
We break things at home...
-so we can give them to Karl.
We help each other.
The day will be new again
rise from a rosy sky
Saint Lucia, Saint Lucia
The night goes heavy with chains
around the yard and storehouse
Around the earth that the sun forgave
the shadows brood
Then in our dark house
rises with candles lit
Saint Lucia
Saint Lucia
The night goes by...
Come, come!
Hold on!
Come, come, come! Hold on! Hold on!
Help!
Come, come!
Hold on!
Come on!
Come, come!
Not!
-Happy New Year!
-Happy New Year!
One winter, Karl was in the newspaper.
But he looked old.
He was strong, not old.
We saw the black smoke. Every morning.
We saw the holes.
One for each family.
We saw him walking straight across the fields.
The bird's eye view.
Out here.
Come on!
Hello!
Telephone?
Telephone?
Breakdown...car.
Martha has.
You have to wait.
The storm is coming.
Wait.
That was before retirement.
It always turned out sandy.
If they come, I'll just throw them away quickly.
cement on there and clogs up.
It's easy.
And I've put the barbed wire here-
-and spun it in labyrinths.
Will a bullet come,
then it gets lost in there.
And flies out the same way it came.
Astray...
I took them all at once.
Do you hear the train singing in them?
I'll take care of everything.
I started here.
-After Greta moved to Philadelphia.
-Greta?
-Sister.
-Oh, sister.
Coffee?
There are no plants here.
A flower.
Flowers. You need plants.
Plants?
I couldn't live without plants.
Plants?
Plants.
Growing.
Growing.
Growing.
The time in here...
Waiting.
It forces...
...like a vise.
It's just a matter of waiting.
It has already happened,
and now it's on its way back.
I want it to end!
Astray...?
Astray.
At university I learned
How Gothic cathedrals were built.
Very, very high.
They touched the sky.
They were built by many people
for many, many years.
So many workers.
Stonemason, carpenter.
-Blacksmith.
-Blacksmith?
Who risked their lives.
They built. Stone by stone.
They used hammers, chisels, sledgehammers.
-Chisel...
-Measuring instruments and drawings.
-Together they were powerful.
-Drawings...
-And a compass.
-Pass.
But you are alone.
Is it an important message-
-they keep an alarm going for seven seconds.
-Then everyone will come.
-Alarm?
-Alarm!
-Music.
Hoarse Fredrik.
Hoarse Fredrik?
Hesa Fredrik
used on rare occasions.
If you hear the signal, go indoors.
Close doors. Close windows.
Close ventilation.
Is it a flight alarm?
the signal comes in short bursts.
One morning there was no smoke.
We went there, but he was gone.
Everything was sold at auction.
Then everyone came.
I can pat your head.
Can pat your head.

Pat your head.
