[00:30] ULF
    The wind favors us, Your Majesty.
[00:33] ULF
    If we continue to be blessed by the wind,
[00:35] ULF
    we should arrive at Ketil's farm
    within two or three days.
[00:40] FLOKI
    I can't believe the king himself is
    going to face a mere backcountry clan.
[00:49] FLOKI
    The Jomsvikings could've handled this.
[00:55] ULF
    His Majesty has
    a well thought-out plan, Floki.
[01:01] ULF
    A good liegeman doesn't question
    his king's decisions.
[01:05] FLOKI
    Jomsborg is an ally.
    I am not quite his liegeman.
[01:12] FLOKI
    Don't forget that, Ulf.
[01:16] CANUTE
    Do you suppose Ketil and his family
    will oppose the king?
[01:23] ULF
    I'm not sure.
[01:25] ULF
    I've heard Ketil is a mighty warrior who used
     to be known as the Iron Fist on the battlefield.
[01:30] ULF
    We mustn't underestimate him.
[01:33] CANUTE
    He didn't seem that way to me.
[01:37] CANUTE
    People are assets. I'd hate to waste them.
[01:42] CANUTE
    It would be best if Ketil's family
    submitted to the king's authority.
[01:49] FLOKI
    Is that why you're going there in person?
[01:52] FLOKI
    But they've committed an outrage against you.
[01:57] FLOKI
    Shouldn't we make an example
    out of them by punishing them harshly?
[02:03] CANUTE
    I intend to show no mercy if they defy me.
[02:20] CANUTE
    A tailwind...
[02:22] CANUTE
    But the waves are tall,
    and the land we seek is far ahead.

[04:22] RETAINER A
    Oh, my. I thought Master Ketil
    had returned, but it's Mister Thorgil.
[04:31] RETAINER B
    Welcome back, Mister Thorgil.
[04:34] THORGIL
    Thanks. I brought you a gift. Take this.
[04:38] THORGIL
    Yah!
[04:51] RETAINER
    Master!
[04:53] THORGIL
    Get him a stiff drink and let him sleep.
[04:56] THORGIL
    What a hopeless old man.
[04:59] THORGIL
    Come on, retainers.
[05:02] THORGIL
    This is no time to be hanging fish to dry.
[05:04] THORGIL
    We're preparing for battle.
[05:06] THORGIL
    Enemy forces will be arriving soon
    to take this entire farm.
[05:12] THORGIL
    Gather all the men and weapons you can find.
[05:19] RETAINER
    Wh-What? Enemy? Who?
[05:22] RETAINER
    How soon is soon?
[05:24] RETAINER
    What's wrong with the master?
[05:25] RETAINER
    What happened to him?
[05:25] MORS
    Hey, wait. Mister Thorgil...
[05:28] MORS
    Let us conclude our deal before the battle.
[05:32] MORS
    We don't want to get caught up in the fighting.
[05:35] THORGIL
    Talk to my dad about that. I'm busy.
[05:41] THORGIL
    Olmar, hurry up.
[05:46] THORGIL
    This is your first battle.
[05:48] THORGIL
    Stick by me and learn to fight.
[05:51] THORGIL
    Though considering who we're up against,
    this might be our last battle.
[05:59] THORGIL
    Aren't you pleased, Olmar?
[06:02] THORGIL
    You're finally getting to fight,
    just like you wanted.
[06:10] MORS
    Mister Ketil, pull yourself together.
[06:14] MORS
    Didn't you say you'd buy our cargo
    at triple market price?
[06:19] MORS
    That's why we transported
    your family all the way here.
[06:27] KETIL
    Arnheid...
[06:30] MORS
    What?
[06:43] MORS
    H-Hey, wait. Ketil.
[06:46] MORS
    Wait a minute, Ketil.
[06:49] MORS
    Please, Ketil!
[06:57] BUG-EYES
    I'm sure it'll be fine.
[07:01] BUG-EYES
    You've got a good feeling about this, right?
[07:04] BUG-EYES
    This time, it'll be the real Thorfinn.
[07:13] LEIF
    You're right.
[07:16] LEIF
    I'll choose to believe that's true.
[07:23] SPARROW
    A battle? Here?
[07:27] RAT
    In a few days, apparently.
[07:29] RAT
    Mister Thorgil said to repair
    the fortress walls.
[07:33] SPARROW
    Repair the walls? But...
[07:36] SPARROW
    This can't be fixed in just a few days.
[07:39] SPARROW
    Who are we fighting, anyway?
[07:41] RAT
    He wouldn't say.
[07:44] RAT
    He said he'd tell us
    once the soldiers were gathered.
[07:47] FOX
    Doesn't matter who we're fighting.
    We can't win.
[07:50] FOX
    There aren't enough
    experienced soldiers on this farm.
[07:55] FOX
    Just the other day,
    we lost five valuable fighters.
[08:02] EINAR
    The guests look unsettled about something.
[08:07] EINAR
    Has the master returned?
[08:12] EINAR
    I wonder what he's going to do
    when he learns Arnheid tried to escape.
[08:24] EINAR
    You think he'll punish her?
[08:30] THORFINN
    A lot of people died.
[08:35] EINAR
    But the master adores Arnheid.
[08:42] EINAR
    He won't go too hard on her, will he?
[08:47] THORFINN
    Maybe. She's pregnant with his child, too.
[08:57] EINAR
    I'm worried. I hope she's all right.
[09:04] THORFINN
    I'm sorry.
[09:07] EINAR
    You fought Snake and his men
    for Arnheid and Gardar, right?
[09:17] EINAR
    You even broke your oath.
[09:24] EINAR
    Sometimes you have to fight.
[09:30] EINAR
    Thank you, Thorfinn.
[09:37] THORFINN
    I like Snake.
[09:42] THORFINN
    He's a kind and principled man.
[09:47] THORFINN
    I didn't want to fight him.
[09:52] THORFINN
    And in the end, I let Gardar die.
[10:00] THORFINN
    I'm stupid, so I'm not sure how to say it.
[10:10] THORFINN
    But I wonder if there wasn't a better way.
[10:16] THORFINN
    Did so many people have to get hurt?
[10:18] THORFINN
    Did people have to lose their lives?
[10:23] THORFINN
    Did I try to find a way to avoid that?
[10:30] EINAR
    There wasn't one.
[10:32] EINAR
    After all the guests that died,
    Snake couldn't back down, either.
[10:39] THORFINN
    But violence should be a last resort.
[10:49] THORFINN
    I wonder what the best option was, though.
[10:57] THORFINN
    What should've been tried first?
[11:03] THORFINN
    I want to learn to find that first method.
[11:13] THORFINN
    There is no person who deserves to be hurt.
[11:23] EINAR
    You're right.
[11:27] EINAR
    That's exactly right.
[11:44] KETIL
    Arnheid, where are you? Arnheid...
[11:56] KETIL
    Where are you?
[12:03] MISTRESS
    My, what a surprise.
[12:05] MISTRESS
    You're back early, dear husband.
[12:10] MISTRESS
    I heard King Harald passed away.
[12:17] MISTRESS
    Dear?
[12:22] KETIL
    A-Arnheid...
[12:28] MISTRESS
    That shameless slave has been
    tied up and thrown in the stable.
[12:34] MISTRESS
    She caused quite a lot of
    trouble while you were gone.
[12:42] MISTRESS
    She was plotting to escape.
    What a truly ungrateful slave.
[12:51] KETIL
    Escape?
[12:56] KETIL
    Arnheid tried to...
[12:59] MISTRESS
    Her old flame came to the farm
    and led her away.
[13:04] MISTRESS
    Many of the guests died.
[13:07] MISTRESS
    Two of our male slaves even helped them.
[13:13] MISTRESS
    What an unbelievable woman.
[13:16] MISTRESS
    You'll have to address
    this matter properly, dear.
[13:24] KETIL
    Escape...
[13:32] KETIL
    Why?
[13:34] KETIL
    Why does everything
    keep slipping from my grasp?
[13:43] KETIL
    Escape?
[13:48] KETIL
    Why?
[14:02] SNAKE
    Nobody told me anything about that.
[14:06] SNAKE
    I can't let you see him.
[14:09] LEIF
    But it's true.
[14:11] LEIF
    Ketil promised to free Thorfinn.
[14:15] LEIF
    In any case,
    I'd like to at least see his face.
[14:18] LEIF
    I want to know if the man you've
    got here is the Thorfinn I'm looking for.
[14:23] SNAKE
    Not until I've gotten confirmation
    from the master.
[14:27] SNAKE
    Otherwise I can't allow anyone
    to meet with someone who's locked up.
[14:35] LEIF
    Fine. I understand.
[14:39] LEIF
    Come with me. Let's go talk to Ketil.
[14:46] LEIF
    I'm sorry to bother you
    when you're so busy, Pater.
[14:50] PATER
    I don't mind showing you around, but...
[14:58] LEIF
    Is there a problem?
[15:03] PATER
    As an outsider, you're the only one
    I can turn to for help with this matter.
[15:11] PATER
    Forgive me, Mister Leif, but can you
    spare the funds to purchase a slave?
[15:19] LEIF
    Some, I suppose. I was promised
    I could have Thorfinn for free.
[15:26] PATER
    The master keeps his promises.
[15:30] PATER
    Thorfinn and Einar will be fine.
[15:35] PATER
    But Arnheid is a more challenging matter.
[15:42] PATER
    I know I'm asking for a lot, Mister Leif,
[15:48] PATER
    but would you be willing to
    purchase two slaves besides Thorfinn?
[16:09] EINAR
    Arnheid...
[16:20] WILD DOG
    Man, I'm bored.
[16:22] WILD DOG
    I've got a woman right in front of me,
    and I can't even do anything with her.
[16:31] WILD DOG
    You act all meek, but you actually
    know what you're doing, don't you?
[16:37] WILD DOG
    The master will spank you a few times
    and forgive you for everything.
[16:44] WILD DOG
    He's too easy on you.
[16:51] WILD DOG
    You're lucky your punishment
    wasn't up to us guests.
[16:59] WILD DOG
    By now you'd have been
    stripped naked and raped by all of us
[17:08] WILD DOG
    for our brothers who were killed.
[17:13] WILD DOG
    Our dead brothers wouldn't be
    able to rest in peace otherwise.
[17:19] WILD DOG
    Don't you agree?
[17:23] KETIL
    What are you doing?
[17:27] WILD DOG
    S-Sir, you're back.
[17:36] KETIL
    Leave. I have business with Arnheid.
[17:42] WILD DOG
    But sir, I, uh...
[17:45] KETIL
    Leave.
[17:46] WILD DOG
    Y-Yes, sir.
[17:57] KETIL
    You tried to escape from me?
[18:04] KETIL
    Why, Arnheid?
[18:07] KETIL
    Why?
[18:23] KETIL
    Why?
[18:26] KETIL
    Why don't you understand?
[18:30] KETIL
    Why would you do that?
[18:37] KETIL
    Do you despise me?
[18:43] KETIL
    I won't allow anyone to
    take my pride from me.
[18:48] KETIL
    Not even you, Arnheid.
[19:00] ARNHEID
    Stop... N-Not my stomach...
[19:05] ARNHEID
    I have a child inside me...
[19:11] ANRHEID
    I have a child inside me.
[19:15] ANRHEID
    Please, no more.
[19:22] KETIL
    Whose child is it?
[19:25] ARNHEID
    I s-s-swear it's yours, Master.
[19:30] ARNHEID
    It's true. Please believe me.
[19:34] KETIL
    Believe you?
[19:40] KETIL
    You... You were the only one I trusted.
[19:51] KETIL
    What am I supposed to believe, huh?
[19:55] KETIL
    What does it mean to trust someone?
[19:57] KETIL
    It's true? It's real?
[20:01] KETIL
    I won't suffer losing something
    I never doubted!
[20:10] KETIL
    You'll pay for this, you thieves!
[20:15] KETIL
    With this hand, I will punish you!
[20:25] PATER
    Arnheid!
[20:32] SNAKE
    Given the weight of Arnheid's crimes,
    it makes sense to flog her.
[20:38] SNAKE
    But if you keep hitting her,
    you'll be executing her.
[20:43] SNAKE
    Arnheid is your slave, sir.
[20:46] SNAKE
    You have the right to kill her.
[20:51] SNAKE
    You want to execute her, right?
[20:53] SNAKE
    Then I'll let go of the rod.
[21:20] KETIL
    Tend her wounds, Pater.
[21:28] BUG-EYES
    Scary...
[21:32] LEIF
    K-Ketil, if you don't want that slave girl,
    would you sell her to me?
[21:41] LEIF
    I heard you have
    two other slaves besides Thorfinn.
[21:45] LEIF
    That they're Thorfinn's friends.
[21:48] LEIF
    I'll pay.
[21:51] LEIF
    I'd like to buy them from you.
[21:59] KETIL
    Who said I don't want her?
[22:03] KETIL
    Take Thorfinn and Einar wherever you want.
[22:10] KETIL
    But I'm not selling Arnheid.
[22:14] KETIL
    That woman belongs to me.
[22:46] PATER
    She's alive, but she's still unconscious.
[22:53] PATER
    I don't know if she'll make it.
[23:02] PATER
    Don't touch her, Einar.
[23:05] PATER
    You mustn't move her.
[23:19] KETIL
    They won't get away with this.
[23:21] KETIL
    They're all thieves.
[23:25] KETIL
    I raised it up with such care.
[23:27] KETIL
    I take such good care of it.
[23:30] KETIL
    And they're trying to take it all from me.
[23:32] THORGIL
    Dad, where have you been?
[23:35] THORGIL
    We've got a mountain of things to do.
[23:39] THORGIL
    Also, a suit of armor would be...
[23:42] THORGIL
    Hey, Dad.
[23:50] KETIL
    Those thieves won't get away with this.
[23:54] KETIL
    I'll punish them.
[24:01] KETIL
    Even if it's the king.
