**[00:21] ---**
Thors.
**[00:29] ---**
Helga.
**[00:38] ---**
*Thors.*
**[01:04] ---**
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?*
