[00:03] ---
    Hey! Are you okay?
[00:07] ---
    Who's that?
[00:09] ---
    He's big.
[00:12] ---
    What about the duel?
[00:16] ---
    What did he say? Duel?
[00:23] ---
    Duel? This isn't the time to be sleeping!
[00:26] ---
    He got up!
[00:27] ---
    He's still alive!
[00:30] ---
    Looks like you can still fight.
[00:31] ---
    UNITED FRONT
[00:32] ---
    I'll give you a minute to recover.
[00:33] ---
    Don't underestimate me! Come on! Attack me!
[00:36] ---
    No. I can't fight you when you're like that.
[00:39] ---
    Shut up! I don't need your sympathy!
[00:45] ---
    I was right. See?
[00:47] ---
    Hey! Old man! Stop!
[00:50] ---
    Let him do it. Someone, bring a chair.
[00:57] ---
    Let me see.
[00:58] ---
    Stay away, baldy! Go treat your own wounds.
[01:01] ---
    Just let me see.
[01:03] ---
    Don't touch me!
[01:05] ---
    Don't get so mad. It's a bad habit of yours.
    Use your head.
[01:11] ---
    What do you think you should do right now to win?
[01:16] ---
    I haven't had that much fun in a long time, Thorfinn.
[01:19] ---
    I'll tell you, just like I promised.
[01:23] ---
    About your father,
[01:25] ---
    Thors.
[03:00] ---
    You know who the Jomsvikings are, right?
[03:03] ---
    Thors and I were both commanders.
[03:08] ---
    Thors was particularly strong.
[03:12] ---
    The Jomsvikings don't accept average warriors.
[03:17] ---
    Thors was so good that they nicknamed him
    "The Troll."

[03:20] ---
    Their leader, Sigvaldi, liked him and gave him
    one of his daughters.

[03:25] ---
    She's your mother, Helga.
[03:29] ---
    The leader of the Jomsvikings is my grandfather?
[03:33] ---
    That's right. He's also my older brother.
[03:37] ---
    In other words, that means I'm your great-uncle.
[03:42] ---
    He's related to the captain? No way!
[03:46] ---
    Our last battle was the Battle of Hjörungavágr in Norway.
    We lost that battle.
[03:53] ---
    During the naval battle, Thors fell into the sea
    and didn't come back up.

[03:58] ---
    I cried.
[04:01] ---
    I wanted to beat him someday. With my own hands.
[04:07] ---
    But Thors wasn't dead.
[04:11] ---
    The last time I saw him was in Jomsborg.
[04:12] ---
    987 BC
    JOMSBORG HOME BASE OF JOMSVIKINGS
[04:14] ---
    It was three months after his funeral.
[04:17] ---
    Then he got scared and peed his pants.
[04:19] ---
    Seriously?
[04:21] ---
    The patrol just left. Let's go.
[04:28] ---
    Hey!
[04:32] ---
    Are you guys thieves?
[04:35] ---
    Did you know this house belongs to Thors,
    a leader in the Jomsvikings?
[04:40] ---
    Thorkell.
[04:42] ---
    I usually leave thieves alone, but...
[04:50] ---
    I just lost one of my friends.
[04:54] ---
    I've been in a bad mood these days.
[05:04] ---
    Thors? You-- What?
[05:08] ---
    Come on! Where have you been?
[05:11] ---
    We held your funeral!
[05:15] ---
    Okay, okay. Calm down, Thorkell!
[05:18] ---
    Sorry for making you worry.
[05:21] ---
    It's Helga!
[05:22] ---
    What's wrong? You guys are both dressed
    in shabby clothes!
[05:26] ---
    Excuse me, Uncle Thorkell--
[05:27] ---
    I knew it! You'd never die over something
    as little as falling into the sea!
[05:31] ---
    Excuse me, Uncle. We--
[05:33] ---
    Have you seen my brother yet? No?
    All right! I'll go wake him up for you.
[05:38] ---
    Thorkell.
[05:39] ---
    Listen to me.
[05:41] ---
    Okay! Let's catch up inside.
[05:47] ---
    What's wrong?
[05:51] ---
    I'm not going to see the leader.
[05:54] ---
    We're leaving here.
[05:56] ---
    To do what? You can leave tomorrow!
    You just came back.
[06:01] ---
    I'm leaving...
[06:04] ---
    this town and the Jomsvikings.
[06:07] ---
    Please forget that you saw me tonight.
[06:14] ---
    What? Is this a joke?
[06:16] ---
    Just pretend that I'm dead.
[06:20] ---
    Please, Thorkell.
[06:23] ---
    I don't understand. What are you talking about?
[06:29] ---
    I've decided.
[06:35] ---
    I'm not going to fight anymore.
[06:39] ---
    I said I don't understand!
[06:42] ---
    You're not scared because you almost died, right?
[06:45] ---
    My brother is considering you as his successor.
[06:49] ---
    Sorry.
[06:52] ---
    You're tired, right? Just eat something
    and go to sleep for today.
[06:58] ---
    Now I understand.
[07:03] ---
    I understand what a real warrior is.
[07:08] ---
    So, I can't stay here anymore.
[07:22] ---
    You know the rules, right? Anyone who leaves without
    the leader's permission will be sentenced to death.
[07:30] ---
    This is the capital of warriors.
[07:33] ---
    You don't know how to do anything except fight.
    Where are you going?
[07:37] ---
    Somewhere, but not here.
[07:44] ---
    Thors.
[07:45] ---
    It'll be okay. Stay back.
[07:52] ---
    Take care, Thorkell.
[07:55] ---
    Where's your sword?
[07:57] ---
    I don't need it.
[08:09] ---
    When I woke up, Thors was already gone.
[08:15] ---
    Fifteen years later, I found out that
    Thors had really died.
[08:21] ---
    I thought about him for 15 years.
[08:24] ---
    I realized that whether the body is still alive
    or not doesn't matter.
[08:29] ---
    What's important for a warrior is where their soul is.
[08:34] ---
    His soul had gone somewhere far away.
[08:37] ---
    I don't understand it yet.
[08:40] ---
    Somewhere I can't reach yet.
[08:42] ---
    Somewhere, but not here.
[08:47] ---
    He probably became a real warrior there.
[08:53] ---
    Thorfinn. How did he spend his time in Iceland?
[08:58] ---
    Tell me.
[09:02] ---
    I don't want to.
[09:04] ---
    I told you what I know!
[09:07] ---
    Shut up! I don't care.
[09:08] ---
    You cheapskate! It's not that you don't want to tell me.
    You actually don't know.
[09:13] ---
    I can tell by looking in your eyes. You don't have
    that same mysterious sparkle he does.
[09:17] ---
    What did you say?
[09:18] ---
    You didn't learn anything from Thors.
    And you're embarrassed that I'd find out, right?
[09:25] ---
    Wait.
[09:26] ---
    Let go! I'll kill everyone starting with you!
[09:28] ---
    You'll lose if you fight like you usually do.
[09:35] ---
    See?
[09:37] ---
    Whether you win or lose will decide whether I live or die.
[09:40] ---
    That's why I'm going to tell you
[09:43] ---
    how to defeat that monster.
[09:47] ---
    Don't bullshit me, baldy!
[09:49] ---
    If you knew how to beat him, why didn't you fight him?
[09:52] ---
    Battle isn't the same as Shogi.
[09:56] ---
    It's not over just because you beat their captain.
[10:00] ---
    But this is different. He said if you win, he'll let us go.
[10:04] ---
    He values honor. He'll keep the vow he made
    before the duel.
[10:11] ---
    Remember the reason you fight.
[10:14] ---
    It's to beat me in a duel, right?
[10:19] ---
    Let me be your advisor, just this once.
[10:27] ---
    So that the two of us can survive this situation.
[10:41] ---
    I wanted to see the captain's duel.
[10:43] ---
    If I die, I want to die in a duel with the captain, too.
[10:47] ---
    I'd be proud in Valhalla.
[10:48] ---
    He's on a different level. I bet he's a reincarnation
    of Thors, the god of lightning.
[10:52] ---
    If the captain is Thors, then does that mean
    Prince Canute is Freyja?
[10:56] ---
    She's a goddess!
[11:02] ---
    It's a reincarnation of Freyja!
[11:06] ---
    Take this!
[11:11] ---
    Does that hurt, Thorfinn?
[11:13] ---
    Why don't you just forget about Askeladd and surrender?
[11:31] ---
    You bastard!
[11:32] ---
    Don't run away!
[11:33] ---
    You don't know when to quit!
[11:35] ---
    Look at you! Fight to the end with pride!
[11:39] ---
    Are you trying to disgrace the name of Thors?
[11:42] ---
    Damn!
[11:44] ---
    Bear it for now, Thorfinn.
[11:48] ---
    Get him to come closer.
[11:55] ---
    Was it the Battle of Maldon?
[12:00] ---
    It was a fierce battle.
[12:02] ---
    Even Thorkell was severely wounded.
[12:07] ---
    It was only a moment.
[12:09] ---
    It was only a moment, but I saw it.
[12:13] ---
    I saw the moment that Thorkell the Invincible collapsed.
[12:24] ---
    That was good. Make him think that you've used up
    everything you got.

[12:29] ---
    What's wrong, Thorfinn?
    Are you tired of running away now?
[12:37] ---
    I'm so disappointed.
[12:39] ---
    I thought you had more spirit in you.
[12:43] ---
    You're in a good spot. Good job, Thorfinn.
[12:46] ---
    That was over fast.
[12:48] ---
    Pathetic.
[12:50] ---
    He ran away the whole time.
[12:52] ---
    That's right, Thorkell.
[12:55] ---
    Come finish him off.
[12:59] ---
    All that's left is...
[13:02] ---
    for you to let your guard down for a moment.
[13:09] ---
    His weakness is...
[13:36] ---
    Captain!
[13:40] ---
    You idiot! You don't have a weapon!
[13:43] ---
    Thorfinn! On your right!
[13:47] ---
    Kill that kid!
[13:49] ---
    Damn!
[13:52] ---
    Die, kid!
[13:54] ---
    Stop, you fools!
[13:59] ---
    You bastards... How dare you humiliate me!
[14:04] ---
    Captain!
[14:05] ---
    How dare you tarnish my duel!
[14:16] ---
    Asgeir, you...
[14:19] ---
    What about your honor as a warrior?
[14:21] ---
    I don't care if you hate me for it.
    I'm going to kill that kid.
[14:26] ---
    If you want to kill me, then kill me!
[14:29] ---
    But you must live!
[14:31] ---
    No one else
[14:32] ---
    could unify these 500 beasts!
[14:44] ---
    Stop right there.
[14:47] ---
    You must not fight anymore.
[14:54] ---
    Whoever dies in this fight
[14:56] ---
    will die in vain.
[15:00] ---
    Impossible...
[15:03] ---
    They've been annihilated... Askeladd's army has been...
[15:12] ---
    Brother!
[15:17] ---
    You're alive!
[15:22] ---
    Who are you?
[15:26] ---
    Brother...
[15:29] ---
    How can you kill each other without end?
    Don't you tire of it?
[15:34] ---
    I don't care if you're royalty.
    You have no right to spoil the duel.
[15:38] ---
    Stay back, little girl.
[15:42] ---
    It doesn't look like a duel anymore.
[15:45] ---
    If you're a leader, you should show your men
    pride and honor.
[15:53] ---
    Silence! I don't need you to tell me what I already know!
[16:10] ---
    Let Thorfinn go. I lost this duel.
[16:14] ---
    Captain! You haven't lost! We just got in the way!
[16:16] ---
    Shut up, you idiots!
[16:20] ---
    I lost. I should preserve my dignity.
[16:24] ---
    Asgeir...
[16:26] ---
    Do as the captain commands.
[16:32] ---
    That was unpleasant.
[16:35] ---
    I've been alive for 50 years, but I've never
    had a day as bad as today.
[16:41] ---
    Booze!
[16:44] ---
    Hey, baldy! Let's get away right now!
[16:46] ---
    If you want to go, then go. I'm staying.
[16:48] ---
    What? What do you think I went through all that for?
[16:51] ---
    Just shut up and watch.
[16:57] ---
    So? Who do you think you are, prince?
    Did you just stroll over to break up the fight?
[17:03] ---
    I wish to have your sled and your supplies.
[17:05] ---
    And Thorfinn and Askeladd are my followers.
[17:09] ---
    I'm taking them.
[17:11] ---
    Are you stupid?
[17:13] ---
    What kind of a hunter would let his prey get away?
[17:19] ---
    You intend to use me to bargain
    with King Sweyn.
[17:23] ---
    Is that what you're thinking?
[17:26] ---
    Yes, prince.
[17:28] ---
    You're bait. You're a hostage.
    And you're a source of money.
[17:32] ---
    Forget about the prince! Don't get greedy!
[17:34] ---
    Just watch!
[17:37] ---
    Stay back, lout. I won't run away.
[17:44] ---
    You matured a lot in a short amount of time.
    What happened?
[17:50] ---
    I found Ragnar's corpse in the village
    I stopped by yesterday.
[17:57] ---
    Thorkell.
[17:59] ---
    I have no value as a hostage.
[18:02] ---
    The reason being...
[18:06] ---
    my father
[18:07] ---
    doesn't love me.
[18:12] ---
    My father is going to give the throne
    to my brother Harald.
[18:16] ---
    I'm just second to my brother.
[18:20] ---
    However, that caused the vassals to start fighting,
[18:24] ---
    and endangered the foundation of the kingdom.
[18:29] ---
    My existence
[18:31] ---
    is a source of distress to the king.
[18:35] ---
    In other words, King Sweyn is hoping that I'll kill you?
[18:41] ---
    It'd be better to have me die in battle
    than to assassinate me.
[18:45] ---
    It would allow my father to avoid killing his own child.
[18:48] ---
    If I did let you go right now, where would you go?
[18:53] ---
    To the main camp in Gainsborough.
[18:57] ---
    To fight my father, the king.
[19:03] ---
    You think you can win? Congratulations.
[19:07] ---
    I'm doing what should be done.
[19:09] ---
    My life isn't valuable anyway.
[19:23] ---
    I've seen lots of men who said
    they didn't care about their life.
[19:30] ---
    But most of them cry and beg for their life as soon as
    they get hit, even if it's just a light punch.
[19:36] ---
    You're just like them, right?
[19:53] ---
    I hate that look in his eyes. I've seen it before.
[20:02] ---
    What are you looking at with those eyes?
[20:08] ---
    What happened? They got quiet.
[20:13] ---
    Men.
[20:15] ---
    Even I have one thing I regret.
[20:21] ---
    I regret not following Thors back there.
[20:27] ---
    If I had followed him then,
[20:30] ---
    I would have learned
    the secret to being a real warrior.
[20:37] ---
    Well, I'm going to end up fighting King Sweyn anyway.
[20:43] ---
    All right! I've made my decision.
[20:47] ---
    I'll help you fight.
[20:51] ---
    I'm going to follow you.
[20:54] ---
    I'm going to watch what you do from now on,
    and who you'll become.
[21:00] ---
    But if you do anything soft, I'm going to kill you.
[21:05] ---
    Good. From today on, you, too, are one of my followers.
[21:11] ---
    Then what about us?
[21:12] ---
    Well, the captain says he's going to follow him, so...
[21:22] ---
    What's wrong with him?
    What's he still doing here?
[21:40] ---
    Your Highness Canute.
[21:44] ---
    I'm the one who killed Ragnar.
[21:47] ---
    Please kill me.
[21:51] ---
    However,
[21:53] ---
    if you let me live,
[21:56] ---
    I shall help you,
[21:59] ---
    even if it costs me my life.
[22:06] ---
    Work on his behalf, too.
    That's how you shall mourn his death.
[22:12] ---
    Certainly.
[22:19] ---
    If you want to come with me, then come.
[22:22] ---
    We're going to drag King Sweyn down from the throne.
[22:27] ---
    What are you doing? Don't copy me.
[22:30] ---
    I'm not. I'm the one who became his vassal first.
[22:35] ---
    Anyway, let's be friends.
[22:38] ---
    I killed most of your men,
    but it's water under the bridge, right?
[22:45] ---
    Letting it be water under the bridge
    is the only thing you can do.
