[00:29] ULF
    Is that the last one?
[00:30] THEGN A
    Yes.
[00:37] ULF
    I doubt Ketil's forces
    have any will to fight left.
[00:41] ULF
    I'll send a messenger
    recommending they surrender.
[00:45] FLOKI
    Your Majesty.
[00:48] FLOKI
    Would it be all right if we
    requisitioned some homes on the farm?
[00:52] FLOKI
    My men are tired of camping out in tents.
[00:56] CANUTE
    No.
[00:58] CANUTE
    All forces are forbidden
    from entering the farm.
[01:03] CANUTE
    If the soldiers enter the village,
    they'll begin pillaging.
[01:06] FLOKI
    Pillaging is the victor's right.
[01:10] VANUTE
    The goal of this battle is to requisition
    the entire farm, not pillage it.
[01:17] CANUTE
    I shall provide the Jomsvikings
    with an adequate reward.
[01:25] FLOKI
    As you command.
[01:38] SWEYN
    You're showing them mercy now, Canute?
[01:45] SWEYN
    You are right. This is what a king does.
[01:52] SWEYN
    To achieve his grand purpose,
[01:54] SWEYN
    he spares those who should live,
    and slays those he must kill.
[02:00] SWEYN
    The masses could never bear
    such a heavy responsibility.
[02:05] SWEYN
    This world is still far from
    being a paradise. It's hell.
[02:10] SWEYN
    And hell has its own laws.
[02:15] SWEYN
    Canute, you killed your
    father and your brother.
[02:23] SWEYN
    Keep killing until your
    corpse-lined road reaches paradise.
[03:09] (Flashback) ARNHEID
    Thank you, Einar and Thorfinn.
[03:17] (Flashback) ARNHEID
    Thank you.

[05:52] WOMAN A
    Hold him still.
[05:54] MAN B
    It's no use. He's already dead.
[05:55] WOMAN B
    I need hot water over here.
[05:57] RETAINER A
    Kill me!
[06:00] ODONI
    Young master...
[06:06] ODONI
    Young master...
[06:11] ODONI
    My father's hands are gone.
[06:25] FATHER
    Y-Y-Young master, please look
    after my daughter and family.
[06:45] BRODD
    You can't even cut a pig.
[06:59] ODONI
    Young master?
[07:08] ODONI
    Young master!
[07:16] ODONI
    Are you all right?
[07:18] ODONI
    Are you injured as well?
[07:23] ODONI
    Is it your stomach? Does your stomach hurt?
[07:28] ODONI
    You should lie down.
[07:44] SNAKE
    They have advised us to
     surrender a second time.
[07:48] SNAKE
    The entire clan surrendering is
    their condition for a truce.
[07:53] SNAKE
    You'll still be subjected to outlawry.
[07:58] SNAKE
    You need to decide if we'll
    continue fighting or surrender.
[08:03] MISTRESS
    Y-You can't be serious!
[08:06] MISTRESS
    I refuse to be banished from the country.
[08:09] MISTRESS
    What do they expect us to do?
    Leave this land and become beggars?
[08:12] MISTRESS
    Snake, this happened because
    you're a spineless coward.
[08:18] MISTRESS
    You freeloader!
[08:23] FOX
    Boss!
[08:24] FOX
    You hag!
[08:26] SNAKE
    Don't, Fox.
[08:29] THORGIL
    If we say we'll keep fighting,
    what will you do, Snake?
[08:35] SNAKE
    Fight along with you.
[08:39] THORGIL
    That's what I wanted to hear.
[08:42] THORGIL
    Don't worry, Mom. I'll handle this.
[08:45] THORGIL
    Twenty men is enough to take the king's head.
[08:53] THORGIL
    Defeating a larger force with only a handful
    of men is a glorious way for a man to go out.
[08:59] SVERKEL
    Calm down, Thorgil.
[09:01] SVERKEL
    That's not your decision to make.
[09:04] THORGIL
    What? No, it's gotta be me.
[09:08] THORGIL
    Dad's out of it.
[09:10] THORGIL
    Are you saying you want to decide, Grandpa?
[09:13] SVERKEL
    It's not my decision, either.
[09:16] SVERKEL
    There's someone Ketil named as his successor.
[09:48] OLMAR
    We'll surrender.
[09:51] MISTRESS
    What?
[09:51] MISTRESS
    How could you say that?
[09:54] MISTRESS
    Doesn't that embarrass you as a Norse man?
[10:03] OLMAR
    It's embarrassing.
[10:05] OLMAR
    It's embarrassing, but...
[10:09] OLMAR
    I'm scared.
[10:11] OLMAR
    I'm scared of people dying.
[10:16] OLMAR
    I'm scared I might die.
[10:20] OLMAR
    They can banish me or do
    whatever else they want with me.
[10:23] OLMAR
    I just want this to be over.
[10:29] THORGIL
    You can't be serious, Olmar.
[10:31] THORGIL
    You wanted so badly to fight.
[10:34] THORGIL
    You're the one who started this war.
[10:38] OLMAR
    That's right. It's my fault.
[10:42] OLMAR
    They mocked me for screwing up.
[10:46] OLMAR
    I got mad and tried to show off.
[10:50] OLMAR
    I'm sorry to Mom and everyone else.
[10:53] OLMAR
    But because I started this,
    I want to end this.
[11:02] THORGIL
    Sorry, I misspoke.
[11:07] THORGIL
    The king wanted this farm from the start.
[11:11] OLMAR
    But I gave them an excuse to start a war.
[11:16] THORGIL
    People will always find a reason to fight.
[11:21] THORGIL
    If it wasn't you, it would've been me or Dad.
[11:24] THORGIL
    You defended your honor then.
[11:28] THORGIL
    Right, Olmar? You did good.
[11:31] THORGIL
    Your honor is more important than your life.
[11:34] THORGIL
    Show us the courage of a
     Norse warrior one more time.
[11:39] OLMAR
    No!
[11:44] OLMAR
    That's not courage!
[11:48] OLMAR
    I screwed up in the presence of the king.
[11:53] OLMAR
    I'm an incompetent man
    who deserves to be mocked.
[11:57] OLMAR
    But...
[12:01] OLMAR
    But...
[12:05] OLMAR
    I didn't have the courage to
    silently accept their mockery.
[12:20] OLMAR
    I can't be like you, Brother.
[12:26] OLMAR
    I don't care about
    the honor of Norse warriors.
[12:31] OLMAR
    I'm going to surrender.
[12:34] OLMAR
    Mock me if you want.
[12:48] SVERKEL
    The acting head of the family
    has made his decision.
[12:52] SVERKEL
    Olmar, go tell King Canute your decision.
[13:02] SNAKE
    I'll go with you.
[13:10] SNAKE
    I won't mock you, young master.
[13:19] THORGIL
    I don't have time for this crap.
[13:23] THORGIL
    Move. You're in the way.
[13:26] SNAKE
    Wait. Where are you going, Thorgil?
[13:29] THORGIL
    Shut up.
[13:31] THORGIL
    Later, cowards.
[13:47] SVERKEL
    It's true that many have been
    supported by your strength.
[13:55] SVERKEL
    But I know you've seen it, too.
[14:00] SVERKEL
    How those possessed by
    wealth and power end up.
[14:11] SVERKEL
    But you haven't lost all of this for nothing.
[14:17] SVERKEL
    In exchange for your farm,
    your son has become a man.
[14:35] (Flashback) EINAR
    Why?
[14:37] (Flashback) EINAR
    Why did you let him go?
[14:39] (Flashback) EINAR
    Haven't you been looking for
    Thorfinn all this time?
[14:43] (Flashback) EINAR
    Didn't you come here to
    take Thorfinn back home?
[14:50] (Flashback) LEIF
    You're right. That oath has
    kept me going all this time.
[14:58] (Flashback) LEIF
    No matter how many times I lost him,
    I kept looking for him.
[15:05] (Flashback) LEIF
    I won't break my oath to my friend.
[15:09] (Flashback) LEIF
    But Thorfinn is being moved by
    something bigger than that now.
[15:16] (Flashback) LEIF
    Thorfinn said he'd come back.
[15:21] (Flashback) LEIF
    I trust what I saw in those eyes.
[15:28] EINAR
    Thorfinn...
[15:55] DROTT
    So, what? You're not part of
    Ketil's clan, shorty?
[16:02] THORFINN
    My name is Thorfinn, son of Thors.
[16:05] THORFINN
    I'm a retainer on this farm.
[16:09] THORFINN
    I've come representing Ketil,
    the owner of the farm.
[16:12] THORFINN
    Please inform His Majesty
    that I'm here to see him.
[16:15] DROTT
    A retainer? You're a slave, aren't you?
[16:21] DROTT
    You can always tell when someone's a slave.
[16:24] DROTT
    They stink like livestock.
[16:32] DROTT
    You're not good enough.
[16:35] DROTT
    We'll just keep fighting until
    someone from Ketil's clan shows up.
[16:42] THORFINN
    I've met His Majesty before.
[16:46] THORFINN
    He should know who I am
    if you tell him my name.
[16:49] THORFINN
    Please let him know Thorfinn,
    son of Thors, is here.
[17:00] DROTT
    You and King Canute know each other?
[17:06] THORFINN
    About four years ago,
    I served as his guard for a short while.
[17:24] DROTT
    Did that wake you up, shorty?
[17:27] DROTT
    I've never seen a guard
    as stinky and small as you.
[17:33] THORFINN
    If I offended you, then I apologize.
[17:36] THORFINN
    But it's true.
[17:38] THORFINN
    Please tell His Majesty my name.
[17:41] THORFINN
    Please.
[17:43] THEGN B
    What's the matter, Drott?
[17:45] THEGN B
    He's still talking nonsense.
[17:47] THEGN C
    Apparently your punch was too weak.
[17:52] DROTT
    You don't wake easily.
[17:54] DROTT
    You must want me to get you up
    gently like your mommy did, huh?
[18:02] THEGNS
    Get him!
[18:03] THEGNS
    You've got this, shorty!
[18:05] THEGNS
    Come on!
[18:09] CANUTE
    Did you determine
    what the commotion is about?
[18:11] ULF
    Yes, Your Majesty. Ketil sent a messenger.
[18:16] ULF
    Since Ketil himself hasn't come to surrender,
    my men are attempting to send him away,
[18:21] ULF
    but he seems to be rather stubborn.
[18:25] CANUTE
    Did you get his name and status?
[18:27] ULF
    Yes, Your Majesty.
[18:29] ULF
    He identified himself as a retainer on
    the farm named Thorfinn, son of Thors.
[18:41] CANUTE
    Is he a young and small man?
[18:45] ULF
    Yes, indeed.
[18:48] ULF
    Do you know him?
[18:54] THEGNS
    Get him!
[18:58] ULF
    What would you like to do,
    Your Majesty? Will you see him?
[19:06] CANUTE
    No, that won't be necessary.
[19:14] FLOKI
    Son of Thors...
[19:17] FLOKI
    Yeah, right.
[19:19] THEGNS
    Kill him!
[19:20] THEGNS
    Hit him back, shorty!
[19:21] THEGNS
    The eyes! Go for the eyes!
[19:25] THORFINN
    Wait. I don't want to fight.
[19:31] THEGN D
    Oh? He's got some moves.
[19:38] THEGN F
    What's the matter, Drott?
[19:39] THEGN F
    You haven't hit him yet.
[19:40] THEGN G
    Get your shit together!
[19:44] THORFINN
    Damn. I underestimated them.
[19:47] THORFINN
    In any case, I need to change the situation.
[19:51] THEGN I
    Hit him already, Drott.
[19:53] THEGN I
    We can't settle our wagers like this.
[20:01] THEGN J
    All right!
[20:02] THEGN K
    That's the first one!
[20:05] THEGNS
    Get him!
[20:05] THEGNS
    He's still looking lively!
[20:08] THEGNS
    Kill him!
[20:09] EINAR
    Damn it.
[20:11] EINAR
    Thorfinn!
[20:13] EINAR
    Are you all right?
[20:14] THORFINN
    Einar, what are you doing here?
[20:17] EINAR
    You idiot. I came here to
    stop you, obviously.
[20:22] THORFINN
    Sorry.
[20:26] EINAR
    Just get up. We're getting out of here.
[20:30] EINAR
    There's no point in talking to these guys.
[20:33] THEGN A
    Come on, pay up.
[20:37] THEGN
    Thank you.
[20:42] EINAR
    Thorfinn?
[20:43] THORFINN
    What are you betting on?
[20:48] THEGN L
    We're betting on how many punches
    it'll take for you to run away crying.
[20:53] THEGN M
    Including unconsciousness or death.
[20:56] THEGN L
    The most popular bet is fewer than ten.
[20:59] THEGN L
    A few have bet on more than 20.
[21:03] THEGN N
    Come on, you've got this.
[21:05] THEGN O
    One more hit, and you can go to sleep.
[21:06] THEGN P
    Hang in there until you've taken ten.
[21:09] EINAR
    They're unbelievable.
[21:12] THORFINN
    I'd like in on that bet, too.
[21:16] THORFINN
    I'll bet on myself.
[21:21] THORFINN
    I don't need money if I win. Instead...
[21:27] THORFINN
    I'd just like to talk to His Majesty.
[21:35] THEGN L
    Did you guys hear that?
[21:37] THEGN L
    Shorty just proposed
    something real interesting.
[21:41] THEGN L
    All right, fine. I like your guts.
[21:44] THEGN L
    But we're not letting you get away
    with betting on fewer than ten.
[21:50] THEGN L
    What has no one bet on yet?
[21:52] THEGN I
    Well, at least one person's bet on
    everything up to the nineties.
[21:59] THEGN L
    100, then.
[22:01] THEGN L
    If you can withstand 100 blows, you win.
[22:05] THEGN L
    If you lose, we'll take your life.
[22:10] THORFINN
    Fine.
[22:11] EINAR
    What? You...
[22:13] EINAR
    Thorfinn!
[22:15] EINAR
    Do you have to risk that much for Ketil?
[22:20] EINAR
    This is war.
[22:23] EINAR
    There's nothing one man can do about it.
[22:25] EINAR
    Leave this fight to the ones who want it.
[22:32] THORFINN
    I'm glad I ended up on this farm.
[22:41] THORFINN
    I only knew war, but the master,
    Pater, and the old master...
[22:50] THORFINN
    They didn't forsake me. They were kind to me.
[22:55] THORFINN
    I got to meet you, too.
[23:01] THORFINN
    You understand that, don't you?
[23:05] THORFINN
    Are you okay with not returning
    the kindness we received?
[23:17] EINAR
    Thorfinn...
[23:18] THORFINN
    It's all right, Einar.
[23:21] THORFINN
    There's a trick to getting hit.
[23:24] THORFINN
    And I'm used to getting hit.
[23:28] THEGNS
    Seriously?
[23:30] THEGNS
    That's it, shorty!
[23:31] THEGNS
    Get that big idiot!
[23:36] THEGNS
    He thinks you're a wimp, Drott!
[23:39] THEGNS
    Is your size just for show?
[23:41] THEGNS
    Beat him already!
[23:45] DROTT
    The great Drott the Bear Killer has
    never been mocked like this before.
[23:53] DROTT
    I'll kill you.
[23:56] THEGNS
    Is he stupid? He's gonna die!
[23:59] THEGNS
    Make him last at least 20 hits!
[24:02] THEGNS
    Kill him!
