[00:23] FOX
    There's about 350 here.
[00:26] FOX
    Only around 100 of them
    will be any good in a fight.
[00:30] SNAKE
    Get an exact head count later.
[00:35] FOX
    Are we really doing this, boss?
[00:40] SNAKE
    The master insists on fighting.
[00:43] SNAKE
    We have no choice.
[00:47] FOX
    They're out of their minds.
[00:51] FOX
    Do they think they stand a chance
    against the king's forces?
[00:56] SNAKE
    They all owe money to the master.
[00:59] SNAKE
    They were told he'd cancel their debts
    if they fought in the battle.
[01:05] SNAKE
    If they'd known they'd be fighting the king,
    they probably wouldn't have shown up.
[01:09] SNAKE
    But now that they're here, their vanity
    as Norse men won't allow them to leave.
[01:15] SNAKE
    And the more of them there are,
    the bolder they get.
[01:19] SNAKE
    They start feeling like
    they could actually win.
[01:22] SNAKE
    Waiting until they were gathered
    to tell them they'd be fighting the king
[01:25] SNAKE
    was a smart choice.
[01:30] SNAKE
    Thorgil's a better strategist
    than I expected.
[01:55] THORFINN
    The master intends to fight.
[01:57] THORFINN
    The soldiers have gathered.
[02:00] THORFINN
    This place will become a battlefield.
[02:04] MORS
    See? It's just like we told you.
[02:06] MORS
    We need to leave this farm right away,
    or we'll get caught up in it, Thorfinn.
[02:12] THORFINN
    I know, but...
[02:24] THORFINN
    Mister Leif.
[02:28] THORFINN
    We can't leave the farm with
     Arnheid in this condition, sir.
[02:36] THORFINN
    Thank you for caring about me.
[02:46] LEIF
    You've changed, Thorfinn.
[02:50] LEIF
    When I first saw you,
    I thought you were someone else.
[02:57] LEIF
    The look on your face is
    better these days, Thorfinn.
[03:06] LEIF
    I finally got to see you.
[03:08] LEIF
    I can't leave without you.
[03:16] EINAR
    Mr. Pater, she's coughing again.
[03:17] PATER
    Roll her onto her side.
[03:19] PATER
    Don't let her choke on anything she spits up.
[03:23] LEIF
    Pater, would it be possible to move Arnheid?
[03:29] PATER
    We should be cautious with her now.
[03:34] PATER
    We'd know how she's doing if she'd wake up,
[03:38] PATER
    but honestly, not even I can tell
    her condition right now.
[03:45] PATER
    There's also the child inside her to consider.
[03:48] PATER
    Rest is what she needs most right now,
[03:52] PATER
    at least until she regains consciousness.
[03:57] LEIF
    One day. Let's wait and see
    how things go for just one more day.
[04:04] MORS
    Are you serious?
[04:06] MORS
    What about after that?
[04:17] SPIDER
    Boss, hurry.
[04:21] SNAKE
    North?
[04:22] SPIDER
    Yes.
[04:24] SPIDER
    Where I'm pointing.
[04:30] SNAKE
    They're here sooner than expected.
[04:33] SNAKE
    Notify the master!
[04:35] SNAKE
    Ships have been spotted
    in the sea to the north!
[04:38] SNAKE
    The king's forces have arrived.
[06:30] BADGER
    Idiot, don't shoot unless you're told to!
[06:33] BADGER
    You'll never reach them at this range.
[06:35] BADGER
    Once they're closer, we'll fire off a—
[06:51] BADGER
    Crap! Retreat, retreat!
[06:55] BADGER
    Damn it!
[06:57] BADGER
    How are they reaching us from so far away?
[07:09] FLOKI
    Fan out and take control of the area!
[07:12] FLOKI
    Aid His Majesty's landing!
[07:25] CANUTE
    It seems Ketil intends to fight me.
[07:31] CANUTE
    Send a messenger, Ulf.
[07:33] CANUTE
    We'll take up position here
    and await Ketil's response.
[07:36] ULF
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[07:43] CANUTE
    This is good land.
[07:45] CANUTE
    It'd be a shame to stain it with blood.
[07:56] MESSENGER
    For the aforementioned reasons,
    His Majesty, King Canute,
[08:00] MESSENGER
    has sentenced the insurrectionist Ketil
    and his clan to ten years of outlawry.
[08:08] MESSENGER
    Though normally they would be
    executed for their crimes,
[08:12] MESSENGER
    Ketil's clan shall be allowed to live
    thanks to His Majesty's kindness.
[08:19] MESSENGER
    Humbly accept your punishment.
[08:24] MESSENGER
    That's all. If you don't want to die,
    then get out of the country.
[08:29] MESSENGER
    We'll wait until tomorrow morning
    for your response.
[08:40] KETIL
    How could you useless lot
    let them land without a fight?
[08:46] KETIL
    Insurrectionist? Outlawry?
[08:49] KETIL
    Don't push your luck, boy.
[08:53] THORGIL
    I'm back.
[08:56] KETIL
    Ah, Thorgil. How did Canute's forces look?
[09:01] THORGIL
    They were cooking and eating
    their lunch at leisure.
[09:06] THORGIL
    Two warships, two cargo ships.
[09:09] THORGIL
    They've pitched tents
    right next to their landing site.
[09:12] THORGIL
    There are about 100 of them.
[09:17] KETIL
    100?
[09:19] THORGIL
    Yeah, excluding slaves and servants.
[09:28] KETIL
    That's less than a third of our numbers.
[09:34] KETIL
    Did Canute think we'd kneel
    if the king himself came?
[09:41] KETIL
    This land is full of reckless men
    who won't yield to the king.
[09:47] KETIL
    Muster your courage, men!
[09:49] KETIL
    Whoever brings me the king's head
    will receive whatever he wants!
[09:58] THORGIL
    What fools.
[10:02] SNAKE
    That's not just any 100 men.
[10:06] SNAKE
    The guys around the big tent are thegns.
[10:12] FOX
    Y-You mean the king's really here?
[10:17] SNAKE
    And if they're the king's guard,
    they're among the strongest men in Denmark.
[10:23] SNAKE
    They're Thorgil's former brothers-in-arms.
[10:26] FOX
    I-In other words,
[10:30] FOX
    they're all about as strong as Thorgil?
[10:35] FOX
    Wh-What about the guys in white capes?
[10:39] FOX
    Are they weaker than the king's guard?
[10:42] SNAKE
    You mean you've never seen them before?
[10:46] SNAKE
    Those are Jomsvikings.
[10:53] SNAKE
    I've never seen you
    open your eyes so wide before.
[11:01] SNAKE
    We can't beat them.
[11:05] SNAKE
    They far outclass our ragtag
    group of peasant soldiers.
[11:10] SNAKE
    They're the kind of guys who think about war
     and nothing else from morning 'til night.
[11:16] SNAKE
    The master won't understand that
    until we fight them once.
[11:22] SNAKE
    If you want to run, then run.
[11:25] SNAKE
    King Canute has given us time to flee.
[11:29] FOX
    B-Boss, what are you going to do?
[11:33] SNAKE
    I'm the commander. I can't run.
[11:37] SNAKE
    I'll do my best to keep as many of
    those 350 cocky idiots alive as I can.
[11:44] FOX
    Th-Then let's tie up Ketil's clan
    and hand them over.
[11:51] BADGER
    Yeah, then we won't have to fight.
[11:54] RAT
    Are we going to tie up Thorgil, too?
[11:57] FOX
    Don't be a wuss.
    I bet eight of us could take him.
[12:01] MOLE
    Thorgil isn't the only problem.
[12:04] MOLE
    There's also the renowned Iron Fist Ketil.
[12:07] MOLE
    You heard he beat a bear to
     death with his bare hands, right?
[12:13] FOX
    Run away with us, boss.
[12:17] FOX
    There's no point in being stubborn.
[12:23] SNAKE
    Iron Fist, huh?
[12:27] SNAKE
    I know all about the Iron Fist.
[12:31] SNAKE
    I met him when I was around 15 or 16.
[12:35] SNAKE
    He taught me how to fight on the battlefield.
[12:38] SNAKE
    He was insanely strong.
[12:42] SNAKE
    He was like an older brother or boss to me.
[12:48] SNAKE
    Years ago, I screwed up.
[12:52] SNAKE
    I ended up on the run.
[12:55] SNAKE
    I thought Ketil would shelter me.
[12:59] SNAKE
    I followed the rumors to this farm.
[13:05] SNAKE
    But when I finally arrived...
[13:11] (Flashback) KETIL
    Who are you? Do you have business with me?
[13:16] SNAKE
    ...I found a completely different person.
[13:23] FOX
    Wh-What? Seriously?
[13:27] SNAKE
    The master's full of shit.
[13:30] SNAKE
    He's taking advantage of the fact
    that they share the same name.
[13:34] FOX
    That's appalling.
[13:36] WILD DOG
    I'm amazed he's never been
    exposed before now.
[13:39] SNAKE
    With nowhere else to go,
    I've stayed here as his guard dog.
[13:48] SNAKE
    I've been getting a free ride
    for long enough.
[13:53] SNAKE
    It's time to pay my tab.
[14:07] SNAKE
    You boys do what you want.
[14:10] SNAKE
    All I meant is that the master is
    a con artist not worth dying for.
[14:18] SNAKE
    Take care.
[14:41] SNAKE
    Don't try to show off, idiots.
[14:44] SNAKE
    You'll die before you get
    the chance to pay off your tabs.
[14:47] FOX
    Sh-Sh-Shut up!
[14:50] FOX
    Dine-and-dashing on a con artist
    would make us absolute scumbags.
[14:57] FOX
    We'll work to earn our board.
[15:04] SNAKE
    Don't go telling anyone else
    what I just told you.
[15:37] THORGIL
    Their backs are to the sea.
[15:40] THORGIL
    The king's forces have formed two lines here.
[15:44] THORGIL
    This circle is King Canute.
[15:46] THORGIL
    They've beached their ships, and their
    backs are completely undefended.
[15:53] THORGIL
    They know we don't have proper forces.
[15:59] THORGIL
    The terrain provides good visibility.
    Surprise attacks won't work.
[16:04] THORGIL
    Olmar, how would you attack?
[16:07] OLMAR
    What? U-Uh, at night?
[16:11] THORGIL
    Wrong. Only first-class soldiers
    attack at night.
[16:16] THORGIL
    Amateurs can't pull that off.
[16:19] THORGIL
    They're useless pieces of shit.
[16:23] THORGIL
    They'll all be dead by the time
    you count to 100.
[16:26] OLMAR
    Wh-What? Then why did
    we bother gathering them?
[16:34] THORGIL
    You amateur.
[16:35] THORGIL
    Isn't it obvious?
[16:39] THORGIL
    They'll draw the king's attention
    while you're counting to 100.
[16:59] KETIL
    Thorgil! Where are you, Thorgil?
[17:04] KETIL
    This is an important moment.
[17:07] SNAKE
    Master, everyone's ready.
[17:10] KETIL
    All right. Fire on my command.
[17:15] KETIL
    Draw!
[17:19] SNAKE
    Master, this is my final warning.
[17:23] SNAKE
    If we fight, we'll lose.
[17:26] KETIL
    Enough, Snake.
[17:28] KETIL
    The great Iron Fist Ketil is a match
    for that youngster in every way.
[17:38] KETIL
    Fire!
[17:55] THORFINN
    It's started.
[18:01] THORFINN
    Stay safe, Mister Pater.
[18:06] THORFINN
    Damn it!
[18:11] THORFINN
    It's all right. Let's keep going.
[18:14] THORFINN
    Both forces are locked in combat.
[18:19] EINAR
    Slowly. Try not to shake the wagon.
[18:28] BUG-EYES
    Don't blame me for whatever happens.
[18:30] BUG-EYES
    This is theft, isn't it? I'm a thief now...
[18:35] LEIF
    Don't worry about it.
    We left behind enough to pay for her.
[18:40] BUG-EYES
    You get things done when you need to, huh?
[18:44] LEIF
    She's Thorfinn's friend.
    We can't abandon her.
[18:47] LEIF
    If she stays here, she'll be killed.
[18:57] THORFINN
    We didn't get to say goodbye
    to the old master.
[19:36] GARDAR
    Are the children asleep?
[19:44] ARNHEID
    Yes.
[19:47] ARNHEID
    The rocking of the cart
    puts them to sleep so quickly.
[20:00] GARDAR
    Are you afraid?
[20:03] GARDAR
    Don't worry.
    We'll be out of these dark woods soon.
[20:09] GARDAR
    This place is a heap of pain and despair.
[20:14] GARDAR
    A forest of beasts who thirst for blood.
[20:18] GARDAR
    Not a place to foster life.
[20:24] GARDAR
    We have a warm home waiting for us.
[20:30] GARDAR
    It's been a long and difficult road.
[20:34] GARDAR
    But that pain will end soon.
[20:40] ARNHEID
    Yes.
[20:43] ARNHEID
    You're right.
[20:59] ARNHEID
    But...
[21:03] ARNHEID
    They're still here.
[21:08] ARNHEID
    Lives still try to survive here.
[21:18] ARNHEID
    Gardar?
[21:21] GARDAR
    Tell them—the ones who
    looked after you—farewell.
[21:33] GARDAR
    I'll be waiting for you here
    with the children.
[21:43] ARNHEID
    You're right.
[21:45] ARNHEID
    I need to thank Einar and the others.
[21:56] EINAR
    S-Stop! Stop the cart!
[22:00] EINAR
    It's me. Do you recognize me?
[22:02] EINAR
    How are you feeling?
[22:07] ARNHEID
    Einar...
[22:19] FLOKI
    Advance 50 paces!
[22:21] FLOKI
    Be thorough. Show them your superiority.
[22:37] ULF
    The Jomsvikings certainly are impressive.
[22:40] ULF
    Not even a single
    thin line of 70 men crumbles.
[22:46] CANUTE
    We won't need the rearguard.
[22:48] CANUTE
    Use the second line of thegns to capture Ketil.
[22:52] ULF
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[22:53] KETIL
    Don't retreat! Charge in there!
[22:56] KETIL
    Show some backbone!
[23:00] KETIL
    Damn it. Where are my sons?
[23:21] OLMAR
    I c-can't swim with a sword on my back.
[23:31] OLMAR
    I can't do it, Brother.
[23:37] OLMAR
    I can't be like you.
[24:06] THORGIL
    I'm behind you, King Canute.
