    1014 A.D.
    NORTHUMBRIA REGION, YORK
[01:37] ---
    DAY OF THE IMPERIAL COUNCIL
[01:47] ---
    What's in there?
[01:48] ---
    It's wine.
[01:52] ---
    -There's so many soldiers here.
    - - Of course there are.
[01:54] ---
    Miscalculation
[01:56] ---
    The elders are going to gather here today.
[01:59] ---
    Wow, the elders are going to eat all this?
[02:29] ---
    What do you think?
[02:32] ---
    That's not true.
[02:34] ---
    Anyway, when he was about to get stabbed,
    he didn't even notice!
[02:50] ---
    What do you think about what happened the other day?
[02:55] ---
    Do you mean the assassination attempt
    on the prince?
[02:59] ---
    I know it's awful to say this,
    but we can't ignore the rumors.
[03:03] ---
    I guess this means the king
    has chosen Harald, not Canute.
[03:08] ---
    Surely Canute's supporters are upset.
[03:12] ---
    You're talking too loudly!
[03:13] ---
    It's still just a rumor.
[03:16] ---
    It looks like we must reconsider our plans.
[03:19] ---
    No. Thorkell has joined Canute.
[03:23] ---
    This more than compensates for the loss of Ragnar.
[03:28] ---
    Thorkell doesn't know how to govern.
[03:32] ---
    He's too much for Canute to handle.
[03:35] ---
    By the way, there's someone else who joined
    Canute, too.
[03:40] ---
    His name was Askeladd, "covered in ash."
[03:44] ---
    Well, I've never heard of him.
[03:47] ---
    Lords!
[03:48] ---
    Rise!
[03:50] ---
    His Highness the king and His Highness the prince
    are about to enter the room.
[04:18] ---
    Well, lots of good food!
[04:26] ---
    Where's Thorfinn?
[04:29] ---
    Well...
[04:31] ---
    There's no need to feel worried for your safety.
[04:36] ---
    No one here is so foolish
    as to shed blood in this place.
[05:11] ---
    Hurry up and walk! Don't drag your feet!
[05:24] ---
    You're a stupid kid.
[05:38] ---
    Whoa, hey!
[06:04] ---
    Hey, what's wrong with you?
[06:14] ---
    What? It's just a kid.
[06:17] ---
    Hey, wait!
[06:24] ---
    How dare you touch me
    with those dirty hands of yours!
[06:27] ---
    What's wrong with this kid?
[06:29] ---
    Hey! Don't ignore me.
[06:32] ---
    Hey! Say something!
[06:37] ---
    Hey, hey!
[06:40] ---
    Are you making fun of us?
[06:43] ---
    Pay up, you!
[06:58] ---
    Hey, you--
[07:09] ---
    Out of the way! Let us through!
[07:12] ---
    You idiots!
[07:17] ---
    You again!
[07:25] ---
    You will be notified of your punishment later!
[07:28] ---
    What a time to cause trouble!
[07:31] ---
    Are you sure this is okay?
[07:32] ---
    I heard he's the prince's guard.
[07:35] ---
    The prince is attending
    the imperial council right now.
[07:39] ---
    There's no way his guard would be
    walking around town.
[07:53] ---
    Elders of Denmark...
[07:57] ---
    thank you for gathering here today.
[08:03] ---
    My long-awaited wish has finally come true.
[08:05] ---
    This land, England,
    has finally come under my control.
[08:11] ---
    This achievement is all thanks to your
    valiant efforts in battle.
[08:17] ---
    In addition, my old friend Thorkell...
[08:22] ---
    and my son, Canute
[08:24] ---
    have returned to us,
    thanks to the protection of the gods.
[08:29] ---
    This is an unexpected stroke of good fortune.
[08:33] ---
    I'm glad you've returned, Canute.
[08:36] ---
    Your father is happy.
[08:48] ---
    I'm going to put Mercia, part of our new territory,
    under your rule.
[08:53] ---
    Let's make this land a good country together.
[08:58] ---
    Thorkell.
[09:00] ---
    Support my son.
[09:02] ---
    This is my wish.
[09:04] ---
    Yeah.
[09:05] ---
    Mercia?
[09:07] ---
    That's the most prosperous land within England...
[09:10] ---
    Maybe the rumors were just rumors after all.
[09:14] ---
    No. You don't know that for sure.
    If the rumors really are true,
[09:17] ---
    then of course he'd say that.
[09:19] ---
    I shall reward you as well in accordance with
    your achievements in battle.
[09:24] ---
    Let us continue to fight with valor
    in Ireland, our next battleground.
[09:33] ---
    Ireland is the land
    where our previous king, King Harald,
[09:39] ---
    was humiliated by Brian Boru, that insolent tyrant.
[09:46] ---
    Victory is mine!
[09:48] ---
    The king is reacting just as I had expected.
[09:52] ---
    This proves he has no counter to my strategy.
[09:56] ---
    If it's a battle of wits, I'll come out ahead.
[10:03] ---
    Floki, I like that look on your face.
[10:05] ---
    Sorry, but I'm going to have you
    draw a losing ticket this time.
[10:11] ---
    I'm the one who's going to be in control of this fight.
[10:14] ---
    I have all the pieces. I can do it!
[10:19] ---
    However...
[10:23] ---
    this land still harbors impudent fools
    who show no respect for their king.
[10:30] ---
    I wanted to let you know about this matter.
[10:35] ---
    I sent a messenger to urge them
    to become my vassals.
[10:40] ---
    However, despite that, they refused twice.
[10:47] ---
    If they are sowing seeds of rebellion
    that would threaten our new territory,
[10:52] ---
    then we must do everything we can
    to nip it in the bud!
[11:01] ---
    Wales.
[11:04] ---
    We shall show the inhabitants of Wales
[11:06] ---
    the power of the true king.
[11:13] ---
    We shall attack in the coming spring.
[11:16] ---
    Be prepared.
[11:39] ---
    Get up.
[11:41] ---
    Do you hear me?
[11:43] ---
    Get up!
[11:46] ---
    You have a visitor.
[11:50] ---
    Is it one of Canute's men?
[11:54] ---
    Send him away.
[11:55] ---
    What?
[11:57] ---
    It's not one of the prince's messengers.
[12:00] ---
    It's just a sailor.
[12:14] ---
    Thorfinn.
[12:32] ---
    I heard from one of the traders
[12:35] ---
    that someone who looked like you was taken away.
[12:39] ---
    I was in a panic, Thorfinn.
[12:47] ---
    It's none of your business.
[12:53] ---
    So, it's been 11 years?
[12:58] ---
    How hard it must have been for you...
[13:02] ---
    It's just as you say.
[13:05] ---
    I don't understand.
[13:11] ---
    As long as that man is still alive,
[13:14] ---
    your heart will never be at peace.
[13:18] ---
    If you say it's still not enough...
[13:22] ---
    then you're probably right.
[13:31] ---
    But...
[13:36] ---
    I still remember it as if it were only yesterday.
[13:42] ---
    The sound of the crackling fire in the hearth.
[13:45] ---
    The delicious smell of the soup.
[13:47] ---
    Thors.
[13:48] ---
    Helga.
[13:50] ---
    Ylva.
[13:54] ---
    And...
[13:56] ---
    the smile on your face when you were a kid.
[14:06] ---
    I was telling you the story
    of how I got trapped in an ice floe
[14:10] ---
    a long time ago in Brattalihd.
[14:20] ---
    I had run out of food
    and my ship had been destroyed.
[14:24] ---
    My six friends had all died.
[14:33] ---
    But I still kept walking across the ice.
[14:41] ---
    Do you know why?
[14:50] ---
    No matter how stormy the sea is,
[14:54] ---
    no matter how frozen the sea gets...
[15:19] ---
    a sailor is always fighting a battle against the sea.
[15:23] ---
    Just like a warrior...
[15:28] ---
    with their own honor at stake.
[15:38] ---
    When Thors died...
[15:40] ---
    when you disappeared,
[15:43] ---
    I swore on my honor.
[15:48] ---
    So, Thorfinn, I'm not saying this for you.
[15:53] ---
    I'm saying this for myself.
[15:55] ---
    No matter what happens,
[15:57] ---
    I'm going to bring you back to Iceland, your home.
[16:00] ---
    It's my responsibility to Thors.
[16:12] ---
    Next, the lords of Schleswig.
[16:15] ---
    Son of Eirik, Ivar.
[16:19] ---
    Come forth.
[16:22] ---
    In appreciation of your achievements on the
    battlefield, the king is granting you silver and land.
[16:27] ---
    Accept his offering with gratitude.
[16:34] ---
    But he looks normal.
[16:37] ---
    Just now. It was only for a moment.
[16:40] ---
    He turned pale when he heard Wales mentioned.
[16:45] ---
    There might be something in Wales
    that turns out to be his weakness.
[16:51] ---
    Please take note.
[17:03] ---
    Don't be such a pig.
[17:05] ---
    What a disgrace.
[17:06] ---
    Shut up! I'm expressing my gratitude
    towards the god of harvest.
[17:12] ---
    Do you intend to get bigger
    than you already are? Unbelievable.
[17:17] ---
    Damn.
[17:19] ---
    What is it? What's going on, King Sweyn?
[17:23] ---
    Do you know about the connection
    between me and Wales?
[17:26] ---
    No. That's not possible.
[17:29] ---
    I've never told Floki about it.
[17:31] ---
    Even if he did know, he wouldn't mobilize
    his entire army just to piss me off.
[17:38] ---
    So, it must be a coincidence.
[17:41] ---
    No. It doesn't matter.
[17:44] ---
    The real problem is that Wales
    is going to turn into a sea of fire in the spring.
[17:50] ---
    Damn.
[17:54] ---
    Think. I don't have time.
[17:57] ---
    How can I solve this before spring?
[18:01] ---
    Should I lead a revolt with the prince?
[18:03] ---
    No. Thorkell's army of 500 men
    are the only ones who I could count on.
[18:07] ---
    Our army doesn't have enough men.
[18:10] ---
    It would take some time to convince
    some of the generals to join me.
[18:14] ---
    I could instigate a rebellion among the English again.
[18:18] ---
    No. Wales would end up
    becoming the main battlefield anyway.
[18:21] ---
    Stop trying to think of a plan that involves a fight.
[18:23] ---
    One of the king's assassins might try to go after
    Canute in the midst of the confusion.
[18:38] ---
    Home.
[18:46] ---
    Don't talk to me about home now.
[18:54] ---
    Far, far to the west, across the sea...
[19:01] ---
    there lies a new world
    where the trees are laden with fruit...
[19:04] ---
    and grassy plains cover the land.
[19:21] ---
    It's Vinland.
[19:23] ---
    Thorfinn.
[19:28] ---
    It's Vinland!
[19:33] ---
    After you go home and things have settled down,
    let's head for Vinland together!
[19:41] ---
    Why?
[19:43] ---
    You said it too, right?
[19:47] ---
    You said that Thors wanted to go, too.
[19:51] ---
    Thors came to Iceland to escape battle.
[19:56] ---
    If he were still alive...
[20:04] ---
    I'm sure he would have tried to go there, too.
[20:12] ---
    A place without slaves or war,
[20:15] ---
    where everyone can live in peace.
[20:18] ---
    A warm and fertile land.
[20:21] ---
    Let's build a country like that.
[20:27] ---
    If it's in Vinland...
[20:30] ---
    If it's in Vinland, I'm sure we could do it!
[20:52] ---
    By the way, speaking of Wales...
[20:58] ---
    that's where you went when you were
    running away from me, right?
[21:04] ---
    What was your trick?
[21:09] ---
    Why did the people of Wales help you Danes?
[21:20] ---
    My mother's grave is there.
[21:25] ---
    That land...
[21:28] ---
    is my home.
[21:33] ---
    It's my country.
[21:36] ---
    The land is poor but the people are full of pride.
[21:41] ---
    It's the country my mother loved.
[21:46] ---
    I see.
[21:48] ---
    Well, you know, sorry to hear that.
[21:56] ---
    That information is just between us, tell no one.
[21:59] ---
    I know.
[22:04] ---
    His Highness Canute's vassal.
[22:06] ---
    Askeladd, son of Olaf.
[22:09] ---
    Come forth.
[22:14] ---
    Now what?
[22:41] ---
    Why...
[22:44] ---
    is luck never on my side in the 11th hour?
