    YEAR 987 HJÖRUNGAVÁGR
[01:09] ---
    Why were you just standing there?
    Are you feeling unwell?
[01:13] ---
    Sorry. I dozed off.
[01:18] ---
    We're too spread out. We won't be able
    to hold off their second wave.
[01:23] ---
    Thorkell, when Floki approaches,
    bring up the frontline.
[01:29] ---
    You mean that blockhead?
[01:32] ---
    I don't mind. What about you?
[01:34] ---
    I'm going to stop the enemy.
[01:37] ---
    Stop? What do you mean?
[01:39] ---
    How are you going to get there?
[01:44] ---
    I see. You're nimble.
[01:47] ---
    Wait. You're sneaking off alone?
[02:29] ---
    Maria. Sorry...
[05:37] ---
    SOMEWHERE NOT HERE
[06:01] ---
    YEAR 1002 ICELAND
[06:22] ---
    Thorfinn, can you feed the
    sheep and milk the cow?
[06:25] ---
    Okay.
[07:11] ---
    After leaving Markland,
[07:13] ---
    our ship sailed further south.
[07:17] ---
    "There are better lands."
[07:20] ---
    That's what the wind was telling us.
[07:31] ---
    And then we found it.
[07:36] ---
    The new continent.
[07:45] ---
    A new world where fruit grows
    and grassy plains cover the land.

[07:50] ---
    I named that land.
[08:00] ---
    The name of that land is Vinland.
[08:07] ---
    So how about it, boys?
    Have a better opinion of me, Leif Ericson, now?
[08:13] ---
    You're amazing, Leif.
[08:16] ---
    What happened next?
[08:17] ---
    Was anyone there?
[08:17] ---
    Was it warm?
[08:18] ---
    Was it bigger than Iceland?
[08:20] ---
    Yeah. It was much bigger than this place.
    There was grass growing everywhere.
[08:31] ---
    We saw some Natives too.
[08:35] ---
    We couldn't understand each other,
    but we became friends.

[08:39] ---
    This feather headdress and
    pipe are gifts from them.
[08:44] ---
    Listen. See this thing here?
[08:46] ---
    Only true warriors are allowed to wear it.
[08:52] ---
    Well, you know...
[08:57] ---
    That's amazing.
[09:00] ---
    What? The kids are still awake?
[09:02] ---
    Can I touch it?
[09:03] ---
    Sorry. I wanted them to hear Leif's stories.
[09:08] ---
    A true warrior? You really are amazing.
[09:11] ---
    Right? You're a good boy, Thorfinn.
    Why don't you come sail with me when you grow up?
[09:17] ---
    What? I want to sail with you now.
[09:19] ---
    Now?
[09:21] ---
    Something's not right, Leif.
[09:23] ---
    My grandfather told me
[09:26] ---
    that Jormungand lives in the west,
    and eats any ship that dares approach.

[09:30] ---
    And beyond that, there's nothing.
[09:33] ---
    That's exactly why you should realize
    how amazing I am.
[09:38] ---
    See? This is the proof. I'm a true warrior.
[09:42] ---
    Leif, you're not a warrior.
[09:44] ---
    What? You don't know anything.
[09:46] ---
    The battlefield isn't the only place
    where warriors are found.
[09:50] ---
    Sailors fight against the
    sea. They're amazing.
[09:54] ---
    I knew it.
[09:56] ---
    Yeah.
[09:57] ---
    What?
[09:58] ---
    Everyone says you're just
    like a kid with a beard.
[10:02] ---
    You're always going on adventures,
    and you're useless in battle.
[10:06] ---
    You just can't think for yourself.
    Thorfinn, you believe me, right?
[10:13] ---
    Do you mean I'm just a wandering old man
    who can't fight?
[10:17] ---
    You don't believe me?
[10:19] ---
    Well, it's true that my
    father is a warrior...
[10:30] ---
    Thors. These kids think I'm a fool.
    Beat some sense into them.
[10:35] ---
    All right. That's enough for today.
[10:38] ---
    Ari, send them home.
[10:41] ---
    Yes, Thors.
[10:43] ---
    See you later.
[10:44] ---
    Bye.
[11:03] ---
    I see. Several people froze
    to death in Greenland.
[11:07] ---
    Yes. The cold wave will be severe this year.
    A lot of livestock will die.
[11:12] ---
    The problem is that it gets harder
    to endure the cold as you get older.
[11:19] ---
    It's so cold.
[11:23] ---
    Thanks.
[11:25] ---
    These two are the only ones getting weak.
[11:28] ---
    You must be cold, Ylva. I'll warm you up.
[11:32] ---
    You pervert.
[11:34] ---
    Mother, go to sleep. You'll
    catch a cold again.
[11:36] ---
    - I'm fine. Can you help me tie up the sheep?
    - Okay.
[11:44] ---
    Looks like life is tough here too.
[11:47] ---
    Yeah.
[11:49] ---
    Someday we might get a winter so cold
    that no one survives.

[11:53] ---
    Back in my country,
    my brother is making plans to emigrate right now.

[11:58] ---
    It's far, right?
[12:01] ---
    What?
[12:03] ---
    I made the round trip.
[12:10] ---
    Go. Vinland is near.
[12:13] ---
    - Captain Thorfinn.
    - What?
[12:16] ---
    It's Jormungand.
[12:19] ---
    Bring it on, you monster.
[12:27] ---
    That hurts.
[12:33] ---
    Sister. Sleep in your own bed.
    There's not enough room.
[12:37] ---
    What? I don't want to.
[12:40] ---
    That's not fair. I'm the
    one who warmed up this bed.
[12:45] ---
    They're still talking.
[12:51] ---
    Don't pay attention to them.
    Worrying is for adults.
[12:56] ---
    Come over here. I'll give you a hug.
[13:07] ---
    Hey, Father. Why can't we get a slave?
[13:14] ---
    Mother's health is poor.
    And now I have to help with the chores.
[13:18] ---
    That's not what we do.
    Stop asking the same thing every year.
[13:23] ---
    You're so weird.
[13:32] ---
    Ylva.
[13:34] ---
    I thought I was going to die.
[13:38] ---
    Are you hurt?
[13:39] ---
    I'm fine.
[13:41] ---
    What's wrong?
[13:42] ---
    There's something under here.
[13:47] ---
    Ylva?
[14:15] ---
    Hey, old man.
    How much of your story yesterday is true?
[14:19] ---
    What are you talking about? It's all true.
[14:23] ---
    Then take me on this ship.
    I'll believe it if I see it with my own eyes.
[14:27] ---
    Idiot. That's not what it means to believe.
[14:31] ---
    If you want to ride a boat,
    then go ask your father.
[14:35] ---
    Our warship is sitting over there.
    Our village has been using it for many generations.
[14:40] ---
    I'm sure your father would
    be happy to lend it to you.
[14:44] ---
    My father's so stingy. He always says no,
    no matter how many times I ask.
[14:48] ---
    He's not being stingy.
[14:51] ---
    The ocean here is scary, Thorfinn.
[14:57] ---
    I got trapped in an ice floe
    once, when I was young.

[15:01] ---
    I had just moved to
    Greenland. I was careless.

[15:06] ---
    We ran out of food in no time.
    We ate ice to make us forget our hunger.

[15:12] ---
    Our boat was finally crushed by the ice.
[15:15] ---
    We were left with no choice
    but to walk on the sea.

[15:22] ---
    And then one day, I noticed
    I was the only one left.

[15:27] ---
    My six companions were all dead.
[15:35] ---
    Why?
[15:37] ---
    Why do we live so far north,
    if we have to go through all this?
[15:46] ---
    Helga. Boil some water.
    Ylva. Bring the fur blanket.
[15:49] ---
    Okay.
[15:52] ---
    Oh, no. What happened?
[15:54] ---
    He was buried in the snow.
[16:04] ---
    That looks like it hurts.
    What happened to him?
[16:08] ---
    Add more wood to the fire.
[16:09] ---
    Okay.
[16:11] ---
    Hey, Father. Isn't he already dead?
    His hands and feet have already rotted.
[16:17] ---
    That guy's dangerous.
[16:22] ---
    He's not from our village. Poor thing.
    Why was he outside in the blizzard?
[16:28] ---
    Why?
[16:31] ---
    He's a runaway slave.
    You'll get in trouble if you hide him.
[16:41] ---
    We ran away.
[16:43] ---
    My ancestors used to live much further
    to the east, a long time ago.
[16:48] ---
    In a land called Norway.
[16:51] ---
    It's warmer than here.
    The sea doesn't freeze.

[16:55] ---
    It's a good land, protected by many coves.
[17:00] ---
    But one day, a powerful
    man named Harald appeared.

[17:05] ---
    Harald's forces conquered our villages
    like a raging fire.

[17:10] ---
    He proclaimed himself to be the first king of Norway
    and became its ruler.

[17:15] ---
    He forced the people to choose
[17:18] ---
    whether they would obey
    the king, or leave Norway.

[17:24] ---
    Many people hated Harald's tyranny.
[17:28] ---
    They moved to a faraway land,
    away from Harald's reach.
[17:32] ---
    They came here, to Iceland.
[17:37] ---
    You're lying.
[17:41] ---
    You're a liar.
[17:43] ---
    My father and my ancestors
    would never run away.
[17:46] ---
    Stupid old man. You wandering old coot.
[18:00] ---
    Father.
[18:03] ---
    Father. Listen to me. Leif said...
[18:16] ---
    Welcome back, Thorfinn.
[18:18] ---
    Who is he?
[18:20] ---
    He's someone else's slave. He ran away.
[18:26] ---
    He came back to life.
[18:29] ---
    Hey, you. Can you say your name?
[18:34] ---
    I'm so cold.
[18:36] ---
    The fire. Ylva, get the fire going.
[18:38] ---
    Oh, okay.
[18:40] ---
    Where did you come from?
[18:46] ---
    Are you going to make me go back...
[18:49] ---
    to Halfdan's household?
[18:52] ---
    Halfdan? You came from the other side
    of the mountains?
[18:57] ---
    I hate it there.
[18:59] ---
    I hate it.
[19:03] ---
    But...
[19:05] ---
    I don't...
[19:07] ---
    have anywhere else to go.
[19:15] ---
    Thors. Come. Halfdan is down at the harbor.
[19:19] ---
    Those guys came to pick a fight again.
    You're the only one who can handle him.
[19:24] ---
    They said something about a slave.
    They forced their way onto shore.

[19:28] ---
    Leif is trying to intervene,
    but I'm afraid he'll start a fight.

[19:33] ---
    Just come.
[19:41] ---
    Chains are the only type of necklace
    that looks good on a human.
[19:45] ---
    Not gold. Not silver.
[19:48] ---
    An iron chain.
[19:51] ---
    A chain around a man's neck
    is the only way to make him half decent.
[20:00] ---
    Don't you agree?
[20:04] ---
    Last night, one of my slaves cut his chain
    and ran away.
[20:08] ---
    Do you know anything about this?
[20:11] ---
    Stop trying to pick a fight with us.
[20:13] ---
    You're just trying to
    drag up old fights again.
[20:17] ---
    - We've had problems with him before.
    
-What a bunch of sissies.
[20:19] ---
    - We had a mediation the other day.
    
-You think your numbers scare us?
[20:23] ---
    You brat. I remember you.
[20:27] ---
    You cut off my left arm
    during that one fight.
[20:30] ---
    How dare you cut off my brother's leg?
[20:34] ---
    Stop, Ari.
[20:36] ---
    My brother will never be able to walk again.
    I'm going to chop off your leg.
[20:41] ---
    Bring it on. Who cares about the law?
    Who cares about the town assembly?
[20:50] ---
    Halfdan...
[20:52] ---
    I'm going to tie you up, you bastard.
[21:05] ---
    I won't let anyone get away
    with breaking the law.
[21:08] ---
    The law is a chain.
[21:10] ---
    The only way to make a heretic a human is
    to bind him with the law.
[21:16] ---
    Don't forget.
[21:22] ---
    The runaway slave is a young Slav.
[21:26] ---
    Have you seen him?
[21:34] ---
    Where am I?
[21:42] ---
    I've never felt so peaceful before.
[21:48] ---
    Hang in there. Hey, you.
[21:50] ---
    Stay awake. Or you'll die.
[21:53] ---
    Thors.
[21:57] ---
    Dad.
[22:00] ---
    Mom. Sister.
[22:04] ---
    You were all here.
[22:07] ---
    I was worried about you.
[22:10] ---
    We all got sold to different places.
[22:13] ---
    Where am I?
[22:17] ---
    Why am I...?
[22:24] ---
    Far, far to the west,
[22:27] ---
    across the sea, there's
    a land called Vinland.
[22:33] ---
    It's warm
[22:36] ---
    and fertile.
[22:37] ---
    It's a faraway land,
    without slave traders and without war.
[22:43] ---
    What do you think?
[22:46] ---
    Come live there with us someday.
[22:53] ---
    Vinland...
[22:58] ---
    I see...
[23:02] ---
    This land is called Vinland.
[23:19] ---
    I found him. Pardon my bad manners, Thors.
[23:23] ---
    I'm the rightful owner of that slave.
[23:26] ---
    Give him back to me.
[23:29] ---
    Father...
[23:31] ---
    Come, Thorfinn.
[23:33] ---
    Halfdan.
[23:36] ---
    You know...
[23:37] ---
    We weren't trying to hide him.
[23:40] ---
    We saved your slave when he was about to die.
[23:43] ---
    Halfdan. How much did you pay for this man?
[23:50] ---
    Father, it's rude to ask that.
[23:54] ---
    Two sheep. Both young ewes.
[23:56] ---
    I'll give you three sheep. I'll buy him.
[24:01] ---
    What do you think, Halfdan?
[24:04] ---
    I'm bringing him back.
[24:06] ---
    I have to torture him in front of the other slaves
    to make sure they learn their lesson.
[24:14] ---
    Then I'll give you four sheep.
[24:17] ---
    You bastard. Didn't you
    hear what Halfdan said?
[24:21] ---
    Shut up.
[24:24] ---
    What if I said I want twice that many?
[24:27] ---
    I'll pay. I'll give you all
    ewes. Under 3 years old.
[24:37] ---
    Eight sheep for a man who's good as dead?
[24:44] ---
    That was a good deal.
[24:48] ---
    No way. The deal's closed?
[24:54] ---
    I bet you think you freed
    him from his chains.
[25:00] ---
    Where are you going to take him now?
[25:07] ---
    I'll be the one to choose the sheep.
[25:25] ---
    Sister. Are you sad?
[25:27] ---
    Of course I'm sad. He cost eight sheep.
    But he died right afterwards.
[25:34] ---
    Father, you idiot.
[25:38] ---
    Father.
[25:41] ---
    Did we run away too?
[25:44] ---
    Leif told me...
[25:46] ---
    that our ancestors fled here from the east.
[25:51] ---
    He said they ran away and came here.
[25:55] ---
    Yes. That's what they say.
[26:02] ---
    Then...
[26:10] ---
    Then where does everyone
    who wants to run away from here...

[26:16] ---
    go?
