[01:49] GARDAR
    Arnheid.
[01:54] GARDAR
    Which means this is Ketil's farm.
[01:59] GARDAR
    I don't believe it.
[02:01] GARDAR
    The two of you were just
    a few days' walk away.
[02:07] GARDAR
    You look a little haggard...
[02:10] GARDAR
    But you're even more beautiful than before.
[02:21] THORFINN
    What? Is he Arnheid's husband?
[02:31] GARDAR
    Is Hjalti doing well?
[02:34] GARDAR
    He must be so big by now.
[02:47] ARNHEID
    Gardar...
[02:51] ARNHEID
    Hjalti is...
[03:01] GARDAR
    Come.
[03:03] GARDAR
    Let's return to our home together.
    All three of us.
[03:10] ARNHEID
    Our home?
[03:12] SNAKE
    Don't take his hand, Arnheid.
[03:21] SNAKE
    If you do, I'll kill him.
[03:40] ARNHEID
    Gardar!
[03:41] SNAKE
    Fox!
[03:43] SNAKE
    Take Arnheid and get out of here.
[03:45] FOX
    Yes, boss.
[03:54] FOX
    There's something wrong with him, boss.
[03:56] FOX
    Did he forget he's being chased?
[04:01] SNAKE
    Is it true that he killed Lizard?
[04:07] FOX
    Yes. Split his head wide open.
[04:12] SNAKE
    I see.
[04:16] SNAKE
    He's here to kidnap Arnheid.
[04:19] SNAKE
    Protect her with your life.
[04:21] FOX
    Yes, boss.
[04:24] GARDAR
    Are you Ketil?
[04:29] SNAKE
    What if I am?
[04:33] GARDAR
    I'll kill you!
[04:35] ARNHEID
    Stop, Gardar! This is reckless!
[04:38] ARNHEID
    Gardar!
[04:49] THORFINN
    Don't, Einar.
[04:50] THORFINN
    We don't even know what's going on.
    What are you going to do?
[04:53] THORFINN
    Are you going to attack Snake?
[04:56] EINAR
    I know exactly what's going on here!
[04:58] EINAR
    Arnheid's husband is here to rescue her.
[05:02] EINAR
    Don't you want her to be free?
[05:05] THORFINN
    I do, but look at what you're dealing with.
[05:08] THORFINN
    You'd have to kill three men to get away.
[05:11] EINAR
    I know I'm not strong enough, but...
[05:14] THORFINN
    Einar, that's not what I'm trying to say.
[05:18] THORFINN
    Can you kill a man?
[05:21] THORFINN
    Whether it's a guest or anyone else,
[05:23] THORFINN
    could you use this axe to kill a man?
[05:31] EINAR
    Then... what am I supposed to do?
[05:39] SNAKE
    Smart choice, Thorfinn.
[05:42] SNAKE
    You guys watch quietly from over there.
[05:46] SNAKE
    I'll capture him alive.
[05:48] SNAKE
    I still need to question him
    and confirm his identity.
[06:00] BADGER
    Be careful, boss. He's strong.
[06:04] SNAKE
    Who do you think you're talking to, dumbass?
[06:10] SNAKE
    Whoa.
[06:17] FOX
    You can't take him alive, boss. Kill him.
[06:21] SNAKE
    Shut up. That was just a warm-up.
[06:26] SNAKE
    Were you guys able to land
    a single blow on him?
[06:29] FOX
    What? Well, embarrassingly...
[06:34] SNAKE
    He's injured.
[06:37] SNAKE
    How'd the three of you lose
    to an injured man?
[06:54] SNAKE
    So that's where it was after all.
[07:03] SNAKE
    Badger, tie him up.
[07:06] ARNHEID
    Gardar! Gardar!
[07:07] FOX
    Wow, you beat him in an instant.
[07:11] ARNHEID
    Gardar!
[07:18] GARDAR
    Arnheid!
[07:22] GARDAR
    Arnheid!
[07:28] GARDAR
    Arnheid!
[07:32] GARDAR
    Arnheid!
[07:33] BADGER
    Come on, walk.
[07:37] SNAKE
    Don't let your guard down.
[07:39] SNAKE
    Always keep five guys watching him.
[07:40] GARDAR
    Arnheid!
[07:42] SNAKE
    And tell Kjallakr's uncle that
     we've apprehended the suspect.
[07:46] GARDAR
    Arnheid!
[07:47] FOX
    Got it.
[07:54] SNAKE
    Now then...
[07:56] SNAKE
    You look like you've got something to say.
[07:59] SNAKE
    But a slave's opinion doesn't matter.
[08:06] EINAR
    Can't you let him off the hook?
[08:09] EINAR
    This is too much to bear.
[08:11] SNAKE
    He killed one of my men.
[08:13] SNAKE
    He's suspected of killing others, too.
[08:17] SNAKE
    Not only that,
    but he wants to kill the master,
[08:20] SNAKE
    and he intends to kidnap
    the master's darling Arnheid.
[08:25] SNAKE
    We can't let someone like that off the hook.
[08:38] SNAKE
    Forget about him, Arnheid.
[08:41] SNAKE
    That's not your husband.
[08:44] SNAKE
    He's just a runaway slave
    who's lost his mind.
[08:52] SNAKE
    Stay out of this matter.
    Look after Gramps for me.
[09:41] THORFINN
    Einar, wait.
[09:42] ARNHEID
    Einar.
[09:48] ARNHEID
    Please have a seat.
[09:51] ARNHEID
    It's almost time for dinner.
[09:59] EINAR
    At night, under cover of darkness,
[10:02] EINAR
    we might be able to sneak into
    the fort and rescue Gardar.
[10:07] EINAR
    If we don't do something,
    your husband will be executed.
[10:14] ARNHEID
    Thank you, but it's all right.
[10:18] ARNHEID
    Sometimes, things can't be changed.
[10:23] ARNHEID
    And it's better not to do
    anything in those situations.
[10:29] ARNHEID
    It's better to sit still and
    wait for the storm to pass.
[10:35] ARNHEID
    I don't want you to get
     caught in the storm, Einar.
[10:43] EINAR
    Don't you love Gardar?
[10:48] ARNHEID
    I do.
[10:50] ARNHEID
    Our parents arranged our marriage,
    but he was kind to me and our son.
[10:59] EINAR
    Then we should go.
[11:02] EINAR
    Even if we end up having to fight Snake
    and his men, it's better than doing nothing.
[11:06] EINAR
    Isn't that right, Thorfinn?
[11:12] EINAR
    Please, Thorfinn. Lend me your strength.
[11:15] EINAR
    I'll draw the guards to me, so you...
[11:17] ARNHEID
    I lost my son because of pots.
[11:29] ARNHEID
    Could I tell you a little about myself?
[11:43] ARNHEID
    About the past.
[12:13] ARNHEID
    Our family lived in a village in Sweden.
[12:20] ARNHEID
    Neither wealthy nor poor,
    we lived a quiet life.
[12:33] ARNHEID
    When our son was one year old,
[12:35] ARNHEID
    deep in a distant forest,
    a marsh containing iron was found.
[12:40] ARNHEID
    Fighting broke out between several groups
    competing for ownership of the marsh.
[12:48] ARNHEID
    Gardar's friend was among
    those involved in the conflict,
[12:53] ARNHEID
    and he asked for his help.
[12:58] ARNHEID
    Gardar told the rest of the village about it,
    and the men gathered to discuss it.
[13:05] ARNHEID
    Should we join the fighting or not?
[13:10] ARNHEID
    If we won, we'd acquire iron.
[13:17] ARNHEID
    So the men decided to join the fight.
[13:29] ARNHEID
    The women were shocked when we heard this.
[13:34] ARNHEID
    After all, our village had all the
    pots and sickle blades we needed.
[13:43] ARNHEID
    But women can't overturn
    a decision made by men.
[13:53] (Flashback) ARNHEID
    Please reconsider, Gardar.
[13:55] (Flashback) ARNHEID
    It's not as though we're currently
    suffering from a lack of iron.
[14:03] (Flashback) ARNHEID
    Why are you risking your life
    for something we don't need?
[14:07] (Flashback) GARDAR
    Arnheid.
[14:12] (Flashback) GARDAR
    We do need it.
[14:15] (Flashback) GARDAR
    Yngve of the West is an ambitious man.
[14:19] (Flashback) GARDAR
    If his clan acquires the iron, it'll upset
     the balance of power in the area.
[14:29] (Flashback) GARDAR
    And our village will become wealthy.
[14:32] (Flashback) GARDAR
    So will the two of you.
[14:45] (Flashback) GARDAR
    Hjalti, your father is going to
    fight to protect you.
[14:52] ARNHEID
    I couldn't understand it.
[14:54] (Flashback) GARDAR
    Ow, that hurts.
[14:58] ARNHEID
    He could've protected us
    better by staying with us.
[15:10] ARNHEID
    All the young men went off to battle,
[15:14] ARNHEID
    while the women and children were
    left behind to defend our homes.
[15:17] ARNHEID
    Several weeks passed.
[15:21] ARNHEID
    And then...
[15:28] (Flashback) WOMAN
    Look.
[15:31] ARNHEID
    When we saw the ships,
    we thought the men had returned.
[15:40] ARNHEID
    But instead...
[15:53] ARNHEID
    They attacked while the men were gone.
[15:58] ARNHEID
    Our homes were burned.
    The elderly were killed.
[16:02] ARNHEID
    The women were put on ships and taken away.
[16:09] ARNHEID
    And I... lost Hjalti...
[16:23] (Flashback) ARNHEID
    Hjalti! No! Hjalti!
[16:45] ARNHEID
    When I met Gardar today, I was afraid of him.
[16:52] ARNHEID
    I'm sure all the suffering
    he's experienced has changed him.
[16:58] ARNHEID
    He is the storm itself now.
[17:06] ARNHEID
    This time, I must protect my child,
    from the men's storm.
[17:17] EINAR
    Your child?
[17:22] ARNHEID
    I just learned the other day
[17:26] ARNHEID
    that I'm pregnant with Master Ketil's child.
[17:35] ARNHEID
    I'm sure he'll welcome this child.
[17:40] ARNHEID
    After all, he's been wanting one.
[17:44] ARNHEID
    On this farm, I could peacefully
    raise a healthy child.
[17:55] ARNHEID
    So Einar,
[17:59] ARNHEID
    stay here until the storm passes.
[18:06] ARNHEID
    Stay here.
[19:08] SVERKEL
    I thought you were waiting
    for the storm to pass, Arnheid.
[19:16] ARNHEID
    You were listening, sir?
[19:21] SVERKEL
    You seem to think I've gone
    completely senile,
[19:26] SVERKEL
    but I haven't lost my senses yet.
    Don't underestimate me.
[19:36] ARNHEID
    I thought I could at least tend his wounds.
[19:45] ARNHEID
    I know I shouldn't see him again,
[19:52] ARNHEID
    so why?
[20:01] SVERKEL
    I once patiently waited
    for a storm to pass, too.
[20:10] SVERKEL
    No, I trembled as I hid.
[20:30] SVERKEL
    It was more than 20 years ago.
[20:38] SVERKEL
    My son Ketil and a beautiful girl from
    our village were in love back then.
[20:49] SVERKEL
    But one day, a man from
    a nearby village named Ebbe
[20:54] SVERKEL
    who'd been growing his power
    fell in love with her,
[20:58] SVERKEL
    and I was forced to make a painful decision.
[21:03] SVERKEL
    Ketil was prepared to fight to protect her.
[21:10] SVERKEL
    But at the time, we were still weak.
[21:14] SVERKEL
    Many were afraid of Ebbe.
[21:18] SVERKEL
    They thought we'd be
    wiped out if we defied him.
[21:24] SVERKEL
    So we made the decision to submit.
[21:34] SVERKEL
    Norse men would be disgusted to hear that.
[21:37] SVERKEL
    I offered up a young woman to protect myself.
[21:47] SVERKEL
    And yet, on the day of her wedding...
[22:07] SVERKEL
    It was the work of a man who
    envied and resented Ebbe's wealth.
[22:18] SVERKEL
    By the time I heard
    the news and rushed there,
[22:22] SVERKEL
    everything had already burned to ashes.
[22:37] ARNHEID
    Why? Why does this always happen?
[22:50] SVERKEL
    The only thing I can say is...
[22:56] SVERKEL
    Even if you can wait out the storm,
    it leaves scars behind.
[23:19] SVERKEL
    I'm sorry I can't help you.
[23:37] ARNHEID
    I'll be back soon.
