[01:51] THEGNS
    Sixteen!
SIGN    THE KING OF REBELLION
[02:00] THEGNS
    Seventeen!
[02:03] THEGNS
    Eighteen!
[02:07] THEGNS
    Nineteen!
[02:17] THEGNS
    Twenty!
[02:20] THEGNS
    Crap, I lost!
[02:24] THEGNS
    Wow, but he's so small!
[02:28] THEGNS
    He's still holding on!
[02:31] THEGNS
    Way to go, shorty!
[02:33] THEGN A (alphabet)
    I lost a ton of money because of you, Drott!
[02:37] THEGN A (kana)
    What the hell are you doing?
[02:40] THEGN A (kana)
    Break this shrimp's skull already!
[02:45] DROTT
    Something's not right.
[02:47] DROTT
    I feel hardly any resistance when I hit him.
[02:54] DROTT
    Damn it.
[02:55] ULF
    I see. That messenger certainly
    is used to taking a beating.
[03:01] ULF
    He's twisting his neck and hips
    just before Drott's fists hit him,
[03:05] ULF
    thereby dispersing the impact away
    from the core of his body.
[03:10] ULF
    His movements are subtle, too,
[03:12] ULF
    so no one's noticed that
    he's avoiding direct hits.
[03:17] ULF
    But Drott is a strong man.
[03:20] ULF
    At this rate, he can't last long.
[03:24] THEGNS
    Twenty-three!
[03:27] THEGNS
    Twenty-four!
[03:31] EINAR
    Thorfinn...
[03:35] THORFINN
    But violence should be a last resort.
[03:41] THORFINN
    I want to learn to find that first method.
[03:50] EINAR
    Is this the "first method"
    you were talking about?
[03:58] EINAR
    Not hitting him back. Simply enduring.
[04:03] EINAR
    Is that how you're going to live from now on?
[04:25] SNAKE
    What's going on? Is there a fight?
[04:30] SNAKE
    Hey, you.
[04:34] SNAKE
    Thorfinn?
[04:37] SNAKE
    Hey, stop!
[04:39] THEGNS
    What's this about?
[04:41] SNAKE
    He's got nothing to do with the farm!
[04:47] THORFINN
    Crap.
[05:06] DROTT
    All right! That was a solid hit!
[05:10] THEGNS
    Thirty-two!
[05:14] THEGN
    That made a crazy sound.
[05:16] THEGN
    Is he dead?
[05:19] EINAR
    Thorfinn!
[05:29] SNAKE
    What are you two doing?
[05:30] SNAKE
    I thought you left the farm already.
[05:33] SNAKE
    How did this happen?
[05:38] EINAR
    If he can endure 100 of his punches,
    he'll be allowed to speak directly to the king.
[05:46] EINAR
    That's the promise they made.
[05:51] SNAKE
    That's ridiculous.
[05:53] SNAKE
    He's doing this for the farm?
[06:01] SNAKE
    Enough of this. No more.
[06:04] SNAKE
    The farm will surrender.
    The decision's been made.
[06:10] SNAKE
    You idiot. You're unbelievably softhearted.
[06:17] SNAKE
    If talking could've resolved this,
    we'd have done that already.
[06:26] THORFINN
    Are you sure about that?
[06:33] THORFINN
    Did you really put in the effort
[06:39] THORFINN
    to resolve this through conversation?
[06:50] THORFINN
    Once they drew their swords,
[06:54] THORFINN
    you merely answered with your
    own blades without thinking.
[07:00] THEGN B
    That's 32 hits. We're handing out winnings.
[07:01] THEGNS
    Is he getting back up?
[07:04] THEGN C
    Hey, wait a second.
[07:19] THORFINN
    Why are you just standing there, middle-part?
[07:24] THORFINN
    Your fists hurt less than
    being bitten by a bug!
[07:29] THORFINN
    Sixty-eight more. Get it over with.
[07:34] THORFINN
    I'm a busy man.
[07:37] THORFINN
    People are waiting for me!
[07:54] SNAKE
    Don't! This battle is already—
[07:58] SNAKE
    Einar, if he keeps this up, he'll die.
[08:40] DROTT
    Ninety-eight...
[08:48] DROTT
    Ninety-nine...
[08:58] DROTT
    One hundred.
[09:29] DROTT
    Thorfinn, son of Thors.
[09:34] DROTT
    I'm sorry I doubted you.
[09:38] DROTT
    You...
[09:41] DROTT
    You are a true warrior.
[09:51] DROTT
    Chief Thegn...
[09:53] DROTT
    This man once guarded His Majesty as we do.
[09:59] DROTT
    Please permit Thorfinn
    an audience with the king.
[10:13] ULF
    You're small, but you're well-trained, Thorfinn.
[10:18] ULF
    Why didn't you strike back?
[10:22] ULF
    Beating Drott would have proven
    that you are a former guard.
[10:31] THORFINN
    What kind of question is that?
[10:34] THORFINN
    I can't hit someone when
    I'm trying to negotiate for peace.
[10:39] THORFINN
    I just met all of you today.
[10:44] THORFINN
    We don't know anything about each other.
[10:47] THORFINN
    We have no reason to hate each other.
[10:50] THORFINN
    So why do we have to
    hit each other? It's stupid.
[10:55] THORFINN
    It's just Canute and Ketil
    who are feuding with each other.
[10:59] THORFINN
    The two leaders could settle this
    over a game of hnefatafl.
[11:05] THORFINN
    There's no need to gather all these men
    and shed all this blood.
[11:15] THORFINN
    We just met today.
[11:20] THORFINN
    You are not my enemies.
[11:36] THORFINN
    I don't have any enemies.
[11:49] ULF
    You're a bold man to reject war while
    surrounded by this many professional soldiers.
[11:59] ULF
    But...
[12:02] ULF
    Ketil and His Majesty
    should play hnefatafl, huh?
[12:06] THORFINN
    What's so funny?
[12:07] ULF
    Sorry. You should try suggesting
    that to His Majesty yourself.
[12:15] ULF
    He doesn't go to war because he wants to.
[12:20] ULF
    Once you see him and hear what he has to say,
    you'll realize what's in his heart.
[12:29] ULF
    Clear the way.
[12:30] ULF
    I'm permitting this messenger
    an audience with His Majesty.
[12:43] THORFINN
    Come on, Einar.
[12:48] THORFINN
    We're going to see the man who starts wars.
[12:52] THORFINN
    Don't you have things
    you want to say to him, too?
[12:56] EINAR
    Y-Yeah.
[12:58] EINAR
    You bet I do. A whole mountain of them.
[13:39] EINAR
    Are all of them casualties of this battle?
[13:45] THORFINN
    Don't look, Einar.
[13:49] EINAR
    Pater...
[13:52] THORFINN
    Don't look.
[13:53] THORFINN
    If you find Pater among the dead,
    you won't be able to remain calm.
[14:32] CANUTE
    Very well. I'll see him.
[14:35] CANUTE
    I'll respect the feelings of
    yourself and the men.
[14:37] ULF
    Thank you.
[14:40] ULF
    Messenger, approach.
[15:13] CANUTE
    So you're still alive.
[15:16] CANUTE
    It's been a while, Thorfinn.
[15:22] CANUTE
    You must hate me for making you a slave...
[15:28] CANUTE
    No... for what happened to Askeladd.
[15:40] THORFINN
    I'm still alive after drawing
    a blade against Danish royalty.
[15:47] THORFINN
    I appreciate the consideration you showed me.
[15:52] THORFINN
    I'm sorry about the scar on your face.
[15:57] ULF
    He's the man who scarred His Majesty's face?
[16:01] ULF
    Thorfinn Karlsefni...
[16:04] ULF
    The man said to have been
    an even match for Thorkell in combat.
[16:09] ULF
    I had no idea he was so small and young.
[16:13] EINAR
    You drew a blade against the king?
[16:19] CANUTE
    It's impossible to tell
    who you are with that face,
[16:22] CANUTE
    but you seem to be the Thorfinn I know.
[16:25] CANUTE
    You've come to say some commendable things.
[16:33] CANUTE
    Four years, huh?
[16:37] CANUTE
    It's already been four years since then.
[16:42] CANUTE
    That's enough time for a person to change.
[16:54] THORFINN
    Canute, I'd like you to leave the farm.
[16:58] CANUTE
    I can't do that.
[17:01] CANUTE
    Ketil's clan started this dispute.
[17:05] CANUTE
    Ketil's son Olmar killed ten of my men because
    I wouldn't make him one of my thegns.
[17:13] THORFINN
    I've heard about that.
[17:15] THORFINN
    But you've made your point.
[17:18] THORFINN
    More than 100 of the farm's men have died.
[17:21] THORFINN
    This region may not be able to recover
    now that so many of its workers are dead.
[17:28] CANUTE
    I advised them to surrender.
[17:32] CANUTE
    It's Ketil's fault for miscalculating the
    difference in the strength of our forces.
[17:36] CANUTE
    This battle cannot end until
    Ketil's clan has been dealt with.
[17:43] EINAR
    In other words, it won't end
    until you've captured this farm.
[17:49] EINAR
    Make all the excuses you want.
    You can't hide it.
[17:52] EINAR
    You call yourself a king,
    but you're actually just a thief.
[17:57] EINAR
    How are you any different
    from the average Viking chief?
[18:04] EINAR
    If you want a farm that badly,
    then start one yourself.
[18:09] EINAR
    Till the land, watch over it,
    and raise your own crops.
[18:14] EINAR
    Then you'll understand firsthand
[18:17] EINAR
    what a terrible thing it is to
    take that from someone else.
[18:27] THORFINN
    Canute.
[18:29] THORFINN
    You once told me at Gainsborough...
[18:34] THORFINN
    that you'd build a paradise in this place.
[18:37] THORFINN
    A utopia for those who suffer.
[18:44] THORFINN
    Do you still believe that?
[18:50] CANUTE
    A chief, huh?
[18:53] CANUTE
    Indeed. I am the chief of Viking chiefs.
[19:01] CANUTE
    I am the sovereign king...
[19:03] CANUTE
    The most powerful Viking on the North Sea.
[19:08] CANUTE
    The ruler of the largest territory
    in Northern Europe.
[19:12] CANUTE
    The commander who leads a
    thousand ships and ten thousand men.
[19:16] CANUTE
    My power exceeds human understanding
    and makes the impossible possible.
[19:25] CANUTE
    Behold.
[19:27] CANUTE
    With my power, I shall stop those waves.
[19:34] CANUTE
    In the name of King Canute,
    waves, I command you to stop.
[19:57] CANUTE
    Did you bear witness to my strength?
[20:03] CANUTE
    I am powerless to stop
    even the approaching waves.
[20:08] CANUTE
    Do you know who drives those waves?
[20:20] CANUTE
    God does.
[20:23] CANUTE
    Building a paradise on Earth
    means defying His logic.
[20:31] CANUTE
    It's an act of rebellion against God.
[20:35] CANUTE
    Humankind cannot find
    happiness under God's rule.
[20:42] THORFINN
    Rebellion...
[20:44] CANUTE
    Look at us, Thorfinn.
[20:48] CANUTE
    Look at us Vikings.
[20:51] CANUTE
    We're responsible for this
    chaos and destruction.
[20:54] CANUTE
    We're fearsome raiders.
[20:57] CANUTE
    Do you think we deserve to live in paradise?
[21:02] CANUTE
    But that is what humans are.
[21:06] CANUTE
    Committing sins as we wander lost
    is precisely what humans do.
[21:14] CANUTE
    Unless I save these people abandoned by God,
    I'll never be able to build a paradise.
[21:23] EINAR
    Save the Vikings?
[21:27] CANUTE
    Yes.
[21:29] CANUTE
    I am the only one capable of conquering them,
    ruling them, unifying their strength,
[21:37] CANUTE
    and directing them towards paradise.
[21:41] CANUTE
    I need strength.
[21:44] CANUTE
    I will unify the strength
    of all humankind to fight God.
[21:57] THORFINN
    Canute is an incredible man.
[22:01] THORFINN
    It never even occurred to me
    to save the Vikings.
[22:08] EINAR
    I'm gonna knock this guy on his ass.
[22:11] EINAR
    You're free to pursue
    whatever huge goals you want.
[22:16] EINAR
    But who's gonna save all the people
    you kill today for your goals?
[22:22] EINAR
    Will you let the Vikings live
    because they can help you,
[22:25] EINAR
    while killing and stealing from people
    who aren't useful to you?
[22:29] EINAR
    Building a paradise, my ass!
[22:34] EINAR
    King Ethelred burned down my village,
    and King Sweyn killed my family.
[22:42] EINAR
    I don't care what their ideals were.
[22:48] EINAR
    I've had enough.
[22:50] EINAR
    I refuse to suffer any more because of you.
[23:01] CANUTE
    Hate me if you must.
[23:03] CANUTE
    I won't seek your forgiveness.
[23:07] EINAR
    What did you say?
[23:11] THORFINN
    Don't, Einar.
[23:18] THORFINN
    Canute, I'll ask you again.
[23:21] THORFINN
    You really have no intention
    of leaving this farm?
[23:24] CANUTE
    No. I need Ketil's wealth for my undertaking.
[23:31] CANUTE
    What will you do, Thorfinn?
[23:34] CANUTE
    Will you kill me here?
[23:40] CANUTE
    For you cannot stop me unless you kill me.
