[00:43] ---
    Sorry!
[00:44] ---
    I missed the vital spot! I'll put you at ease--
[00:47] ---
    Askeladd...
[00:51] ---
    I wanted to be friends with you...
[00:59] ---
    Yeah. Bjorn...
[01:02] ---
    You...
[01:04] ---
    You are my only...
[01:08] ---
    friend.
[01:19] ---
    Send me off...
[01:41] ---
    Well, then, sorry to keep you waiting, kid.
[01:46] ---
    Come.
[01:52] ---
    I'll play with you.
[03:36] ---
    LONE WOLF
[03:49] ---
    Damn.
[03:51] ---
    He's acting different than usual.
[03:55] ---
    So? Who do you think is going to win, prince?
[03:59] ---
    Want to make a bet?
[04:01] ---
    I don't care who wins.
[04:03] ---
    I'll stop the duel before someone dies.
[04:06] ---
    You're no fun!
[04:09] ---
    You don't get to see duels
    between such skilled warriors every day.
[04:16] ---
    Well, then, which one do you think is stronger?
[04:20] ---
    Me? Well...
[04:25] ---
    I guess Askeladd. I bet one pound of silver on him.
[04:29] ---
    I'm not going to make a bet.
    Why do you think so?
[04:33] ---
    Just a feeling. It's his aura.
[04:37] ---
    Thorfinn defeated you.
[04:40] ---
    Is Askeladd even better than that?
[04:42] ---
    You. Prince. Who do you think I am?
[04:46] ---
    There's no way that I'm the weakest one
    out of us three. Right?
[04:54] ---
    It's not that simple to tell who's stronger
    and who's weaker.
[04:58] ---
    Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose.
    It's not easy to rank people. That's the fun part.
[05:05] ---
    I'm not interested.
[05:07] ---
    You must be a woman.
[05:11] ---
    What's wrong, Thorfinn? Come.
[05:15] ---
    I want to finish this before the snow gets worse.
[05:25] ---
    I have no choice.
[05:34] ---
    Look. Now, it's easier to attack me, right?
[05:39] ---
    Come, boy.
[05:57] ---
    Right?
[06:01] ---
    You still don't understand why it turns out like this?
[06:22] ---
    I take back what I said just now.
    This isn't a duel.
[06:26] ---
    Askeladd knows Thorfinn's habits.
    He can see through his cover.
[06:32] ---
    These two must have dueled many times.
    What's the reason for the duel?
[06:37] ---
    I don't know. No one told me.
[06:44] ---
    Unbelievable.
[06:46] ---
    You never learn, kid.
[06:49] ---
    Did you get full of yourself after you beat Thorkell?
[06:57] ---
    I'm sick of you.
[07:02] ---
    Stop! That's enough!
[07:08] ---
    Did you think you could beat me
    with only one arm?
[07:15] ---
    Come on.
[07:17] ---
    Today, I'm feeling damn good.
[07:21] ---
    Stop!
[07:30] ---
    Stop. He's passed out.
[07:33] ---
    You win.
[07:35] ---
    You're really going to stop them?
[07:39] ---
    Thorfinn! Hey! Thorfinn!
[07:50] ---
    Do you understand? The duel is over.
[07:53] ---
    You lost.
[08:00] ---
    Enough. It's over now.
[08:03] ---
    You bastard!
[08:04] ---
    You passed out.
[08:06] ---
    He already delivered the deathblow.
[08:12] ---
    Start over again once your right arm has healed.
[08:18] ---
    It will end the same way
    even after your arm heals.
[08:21] ---
    It's not because of your wound.
[08:23] ---
    You're an idiot who loses because he's an idiot.
[08:26] ---
    Normally, you know how to think while you fight.
[08:31] ---
    But once you lose your temper,
    it all goes to waste.
[08:36] ---
    I can tell from where you're looking
    that you're going after my neck.
[08:44] ---
    Losing your temper, shouting loudly,
[08:47] ---
    and waving your sword around
    is how an idiot fights.
[08:51] ---
    Unbelievable. Everyone's the same.
[08:53] ---
    There's no beauty in it.
[08:57] ---
    Bjorn is right.
[09:00] ---
    I hate warriors.
[09:04] ---
    Especially Norse warriors, Vikings.
[09:11] ---
    The first man I ever killed was also a Norse warrior.
[09:14] ---
    He was not a beautiful man.
[09:21] ---
    He was my father.
[09:26] ---
    Kid...
[09:28] ---
    I'm going to tell you something for future reference.
[09:32] ---
    I'm going to tell you how to kill someone you hate.
[09:49] ---
    All right!
[09:51] ---
    - I'm getting old.
    - Watch out behind you.
[09:58] ---
    My mother was a slave.
[10:05] ---
    My mother was sick and couldn't work.
[10:11] ---
    So, ever since I was old enough to remember,
[10:13] ---
    I was working in the blacksmith's shop and the stable.
[10:19] ---
    My body was always covered in
[10:22] ---
    ash, coal, or horse manure,
    and was always white or black.
[10:27] ---
    They gave me the nickname "Askeladd."
[10:31] ---
    It means "covered in ash."
[10:34] ---
    Olaf has returned!
[10:37] ---
    He was victorious again!
[10:46] ---
    My father was from a powerful family in Jutland.
[10:49] ---
    - Olaf!
    - Welcome back, Olaf!
[10:53] ---
    He loved booze, women and killing people.
[10:56] ---
    He was a Viking,
    just like those you'd find anywhere else.
[11:00] ---
    I heard he had lots of kids like me
    with random women here and there.
[11:05] ---
    But he only named the older kids
    he had with his legal wife.
[11:12] ---
    He probably didn't even know
    what his other kids looked like.
[11:21] ---
    I heard that my mother
[11:23] ---
    was one of my father's favorite slaves
    when she was younger.
[11:28] ---
    But after she fell ill, he treated her like a dog.
[11:33] ---
    For me, life had always been hard.
[11:37] ---
    But it was different for my mother.
[11:44] ---
    My mother often told me about
    the hero Artorius, one of our ancestors.
[11:49] ---
    She told the same story many times.
[11:54] ---
    The legend was about a general
    who protected my mother's homeland
[11:57] ---
    from being invaded by savages 500 years ago.
[12:02] ---
    My mother believed the legend's prophecy
    that the hero would be resurrected.
[12:06] ---
    She believed that he would return
    to free her from illness and enslavement.
[12:15] ---
    She kept repeating it.
[12:17] ---
    So, I started to believe it, too.
[12:20] ---
    She said that far to the west,
[12:23] ---
    in a land across the sea
    where ordinary people cannot reach,
[12:28] ---
    there lies a paradise where the hero Artorius lives.
[12:38] ---
    A paradise, where peace,
    prosperity and eternal life is promised.
[12:46] ---
    The hero is still there now, healing his battle wounds.
[12:53] ---
    Someday, he will come
    leading an army to slay the savages
[12:59] ---
    and conquer the world.
[13:03] ---
    My mother's family kept waiting for him.
[13:10] ---
    They waited for 500 years.
[13:14] ---
    The hero hasn't appeared yet.
[13:22] ---
    But just think about it.
[13:24] ---
    If our ancestor really was living in such a nice place,
[13:29] ---
    he'd never choose to come back to a world like this.
[13:38] ---
    When I was 11, my mother's heart finally snapped.
[13:52] ---
    Mother!
[14:06] ---
    Of all the things that could happen,
    she thought that my father, who was just passing by,
[14:10] ---
    was the hero Artorius.
[14:28] ---
    I realized in an instant.
[14:31] ---
    If Artorius wasn't going to
    come save my mother in that moment,
[14:35] ---
    then he's never going to come.
[14:39] ---
    Do you understand, kids?
[14:42] ---
    Someone must do it.
[14:45] ---
    A person, not a hero, and not a god.
[15:04] ---
    It's weird.
[15:06] ---
    I had never used a sword before
    but it felt right in my hands.
[15:11] ---
    I knew how to swing it.
[15:14] ---
    I thought of it as proof that I had the blood of
    that damn bastard flowing through my veins.
[15:19] ---
    I'm so ashamed.
[15:21] ---
    It makes me want to cry.
[15:36] ---
    You.
[15:38] ---
    Are you her child?
[15:44] ---
    Are you my child?
[15:49] ---
    Yes.
[16:01] ---
    You have potential.
[16:03] ---
    You live in the hall starting today.
[16:08] ---
    I knew he wasn't someone who an 11-year-old could kill.
[16:13] ---
    But I succeeded in getting my father to notice me.
[16:20] ---
    I behaved myself in the hall.
[16:23] ---
    I didn't slack off in my training
    for the military arts or horsemanship.
[16:26] ---
    I even got along well with my half-brothers.
[16:37] ---
    Good job, Askeladd.
[16:40] ---
    I always made sure I showed respect to my father.
[16:57] ---
    I was a loyal son and didn't forget
    that he saved me from my life as a slave.
[17:03] ---
    Before long, everyone
    started to accept me as my father's son.
[17:13] ---
    I worked on it for two years.
[17:32] ---
    I was after two things.
[17:35] ---
    I wanted to catch him with his guard down,
    and I wanted the right to inherit his property.
[17:43] ---
    I wish you could have seen it.
[17:46] ---
    His face had this look, like he was asking, "Why?"
[17:55] ---
    I used my brother's sword.
[17:57] ---
    I chose someone who didn't
    get along with my father and stole his sword.
[18:02] ---
    My other brothers thought
    he was the one who did it and hanged him.
[18:07] ---
    They're so simple-minded.
[18:12] ---
    They're stupid and filthy.
[18:14] ---
    The have nothing except for their own greed.
[18:20] ---
    People without beauty like them
    started popping up everywhere
[18:25] ---
    and throwing their weight around.
[18:27] ---
    There's no end to it, no matter how many I kill.
[18:30] ---
    I don't care whether it's Artorius, Ragnarok,
    or the Last Judgment.
[18:36] ---
    If you're really going to come,
    then you'd better hurry.
[18:42] ---
    Well, when that happens, I bet they're not going to
    let me keep on living either though.
[18:50] ---
    Well, that was a long story. Anyway, Thorfinn...
[18:56] ---
    you still can't even kill me
    even though it's been 10 years.
[19:00] ---
    That means you're an idiot.
[19:06] ---
    Shut up!
[19:08] ---
    I'm...
[19:09] ---
    I'm going to kill you, no matter what happens!
[19:12] ---
    I'm going to kill you, no matter what!
[19:21] ---
    Come on.
[19:23] ---
    You're still saying that? Right after what I told you?
[19:27] ---
    You're just like a dog chasing after food.
[19:33] ---
    I really am thankful for all your hard work.
[19:37] ---
    All I have to do is put on an act
    having these duels with you.
[19:41] ---
    And then you'd go run off
    and even fight someone like Thorkell.
[19:46] ---
    You're a useful kid.
[19:53] ---
    Unbelievable.
[19:55] ---
    I must thank Thors, too.
[20:08] ---
    Wait.
[20:11] ---
    Wait!
[20:12] ---
    Stop.
[20:14] ---
    Shut up! Shut up! Shut up! Be quiet!
[20:18] ---
    Now is the time to heal your wounds.
[20:21] ---
    I said wait.
[20:26] ---
    Won't you stop?
[20:34] ---
    How pathetic.
[20:41] ---
    Oh, dear. You're stiff now, Bjorn.
[20:54] ---
    Why me?
[21:00] ---
    You're the hero's descendant, Askeladd.
[21:03] ---
    And you're quick-witted.
[21:06] ---
    Don't you want to become the king yourself
    and change the world?
[21:13] ---
    You're joking, right?
[21:15] ---
    Weren't you listening just now?
[21:22] ---
    You're more suited to be the king.
[21:25] ---
    More than me or King Sweyn.
[21:29] ---
    I can tell by looking at your face.
[21:35] ---
    I'm just a Viking.
