[00:20] BADGER
    There were two of them.
[00:22] GUEST A
    It must be them again.
SIGN    Iron Fist Ketil
SIGN    Iron Fist Ketil
[00:26] BADGER
    Their footprints do look similar.
[00:28] SNAKE
    Why'd this have to happen
    while the master's gone?
[00:32] SNAKE
    What's the damage?
[00:35] GUEST B
    One bag of flour and some dried meat.
[00:40] FOX
    It's no use, boss.
[00:42] FOX
    They're all mixed up with
     other footprints. I can't track them.
[00:46] SNAKE
    No matter.
[00:48] SNAKE
    They don't steal much,
    but they've developed a taste for it.
[00:53] BADGER
    Do they think we don't know, Snake?
[00:58] SNAKE
    Fine, then.
    Sounds like they need to be punished.
[02:42] ARNHEID
    What? That's incredible.
[02:44] ARNHEID
    That means the old master likes you.
[02:50] EINAR
    Does he?
[02:51] ARNHEID
    Yes, he does.
[02:53] ARNHEID
    Not only does he
    lend you his tools and horse,
[02:55] ARNHEID
    but he invited you to eat
    at the same table with him.
[02:57] EINAR
    He's just paying us back
    for doing his chores.
[03:03] ARNHEID
    We're slaves.
[03:05] ARNHEID
    Normally, people don't pay us back.
[03:09] EINAR
    Oh, right.
[03:15] EINAR
    Now that you mention it,
    I guess you're right.
[03:18] ARNHEID
    That's right.
[03:20] EINAR
    But why does he like us, then?
[03:26] EINAR
    Huh? U-Uh...
[03:29] ARNHEID
    I'm sorry.
[03:31] ARNHEID
    Einar, you're a good person.
[03:33] ARNHEID
    You just don't realize it yourself.
[03:41] EINAR
    What? No, wait, but...
[03:45] THORFINN
    Einar, I'm heading out.
[03:46] EINAR
    I'm not that special.
[03:50] EINAR
    Huh? Oh, sure.
[03:54] EINAR
    Is he trying to be considerate?
[03:59] EINAR
    He's a good guy, too.
    Doesn't talk much, though.
[04:03] ARNHEID
    I know.
[04:04] MISTRESS
    Arnheid!
[04:06] ARNHEID
    Oh, no. It's the mistress.
[04:09] EINAR
    Sorry for keeping you tied up.
[04:11] ARNHEID
    Not at all.
[04:12] ARNHEID
    I look forward to every morning
    now that I have someone to talk to.
[04:19] ARNHEID
    See you later.
[04:22] EINAR
    See you tomorrow morning.
[04:28] EINAR
    Yahoo!
[04:32] EINAR
    She called me a good person.
[04:35] EINAR
    I'm a good person!
[04:41] MISTRESS
    How dare you stay out there chatting
    when breakfast isn't even ready yet.
[04:47] ARNHEID
    I'm sorry, mistress.
[04:49] MISTRESS
    We don't keep you around for fun, you know.
[04:52] MISTRESS
    You have to earn your keep.
[04:55] ARNHEID
    Yes, mistress.
[04:56] MISTRESS
    The master will be returning
    from the thing today.
[05:00] MISTRESS
    He might be bringing guests back with him,
    so prepare accordingly.
[05:07] MISTRESS
    I suppose an enslaved man would be
    a good match for an enslaved woman.
[05:16] EINAR
    Hey, they're sprouting.
[05:18] EINAR
    These are wheat seedlings, Thorfinn.
[05:22] THORFINN
    They look so... feeble.
[05:26] THORFINN
    Do they always look like this?
[05:29] EINAR
    Yup, they sure do.
[05:33] THORFINN
    How strange. So these become bread?
[05:37] EINAR
    Surprised?
[05:39] THORFINN
    Yeah.
[05:41] EINAR
    Impressive, isn't it?
[05:44] THORFINN
    Yeah, it's amazing.
[05:46] EINAR
    We'll grow and sell, grow and sell,
[05:50] EINAR
    and eventually buy ourselves back.
[05:54] EINAR
    It might takes years, but someday...
[05:59] EINAR
    All right. I'm feeling motivated.
[06:02] EINAR
    This is our first step toward freedom.
[06:05] EINAR
    Let's clear these woods,
     so we can plant double next year.
[06:12] EINAR
    Oh...
[06:15] EINAR
    We can eventually buy our freedom by farming,
[06:21] EINAR
    but I wonder if Arnheid has a similar deal.
[06:28] THORFINN
    I don't know. Why don't you ask her?
[06:34] EINAR
    You think it'd be okay to ask that?
[06:37] THORFINN
    More importantly, what are we
    doing with these today?
[06:41] THORFINN
    Oh, the wheat?
    We won't have anything to do for a while.
[06:45] THORFINN
    I see. So we should keep clearing the woods.
[06:48] EINAR
    So we'll pray.
[06:50] THORFINN
    What? Pray?
[06:58] EINAR
    Almighty God!
[07:00] EINAR
    Make our crops grow!
[07:02] EINAR
    Make them ripen and grow!
[07:04] EINAR
    Keep insects and mold away!
[07:05] EINAR
    Send the rain our way!
[07:11] EINAR
    Join me.
[07:13] THORFINN
    What?
[07:15] THORFINN
    Who am I supposed to p-pray to?
[07:19] EINAR
    Anyone.
[07:21] EINAR
    Yahweh, Freya...
     Pray to everyone and everything.
[07:28] EINAR
    Get down here.
[07:33] EINAR
    If we want a successful harvest,
    all we can do is pray to God.
[07:37] EINAR
    We have nothing to offer.
[07:39] EINAR
    But we'll pray extra hard to make up for it.
[07:42] EINAR
    Make our crops grow!
[07:45] EINAR
    Come on. Put your hands
    together and pray with me.
[07:47] THORFINN
    What? O-Okay...
[07:50] THORFINN
    M-Make our crops grow...
[07:53] EINAR
    I can't hear you!
[07:55] THORFINN
    Okay!
[07:56] THORFINN
    Make our crops grow!
[07:58] EINAR
    Don't be so embarrassed.
[07:59] EINAR
    Nothing's more embarrassing
    than doing it half-assed.
[08:02] THORFINN
    O-Okay!
[08:03] EINAR
    Ready, and...
[08:04] EINAR/THORFINN
    Keep insects and mold away!
[08:06] EINAR/THORFINN
    Send the rain our way!
[08:22] THORGIL
    Wow, the farm hasn't changed at all.
[08:27] THORGIL
    Are Mom and Olmar doing well, Dad?
[08:31] KETIL
    Yeah. Olmar is so full of energy,
    he's a pain in my ass.
[08:35] KETIL
    He's anxious to head off to battle like you.
[08:41] THORGIL
    He hasn't changed since he was little either,
[08:44] THORGIL
    even though he's a coward.
[08:46] KETIL
    Everyone has their strengths
    and weaknesses, Thorgil.
[08:50] KETIL
    He's not fit for battle.
[08:52] KETIL
    People should stay where they belong.
[08:57] THORGIL
    I wouldn't be so sure.
[08:59] THORGIL
    Sometimes the battlefield changes a man,
    like King Canute.
[09:03] KETIL
    "King"?
[09:05] THORGIL
    Nobody calls him a prince anymore.
[09:08] THORGIL
    He changed quite a lot in this war.
[09:11] THORGIL
    He's a proper general now.
[09:16] THORGIL
    Why not send Olmar to the battlefield
    and see how he fares?
[09:20] KETIL
    You can't be serious.
[09:22] KETIL
    He'd never survive with his skills.
[09:29] BADGER
    Isn't that the master?
[09:31] SNAKE
    Perfect timing.
[09:35] SNAKE
    Isn't that...
[09:37] SNAKE
    It really is you, Thorgil.
[09:42] SNAKE
    When did you get back?
[09:43] THORGIL
    Five or six days ago.
[09:45] THORGIL
    I ran into Dad at the thing,
    so I thought I'd stop by.
[09:50] SNAKE
    You're a tough one. You haven't died yet?
[09:53] THORGIL
    Thanks to the training
    you put me through, Snake.
[09:58] KETIL
    Snake, what have you got trailing behind you?
[10:01] SNAKE
    Oh, right.
[10:03] SNAKE
    Hey.
[10:06] BADGER
    Come on, hurry up.
[10:10] SNAKE
    They're thieves.
[10:12] SNAKE
    I was going to hand them over to you.
[10:14] KETIL
    Thieves?
[10:15] SNAKE
    We'd been experiencing a rash
    of similar burglaries recently.
[10:20] SNAKE
    I've got a hunch they're behind all of them.
[10:27] SNAKE
    They may be kids, but theft is theft.
[10:31] SNAKE
    They need to be punished, master.
[10:56] THORA
    Sture, my hands hurt.
[11:00] THORA
    What's going to happen to us?
[11:07] THORA
    Are we going to die?
[11:11] STURE
    It's okay. It's all right.
[11:15] STURE
    I'm right here with you.
[11:20] THORGIL
    In other words...
[11:22] THORGIL
    people talk about military units,
[11:24] THORGIL
    but nobody really cares who their
    allies or enemies are supposed to be.
[11:28] THORGIL
    Once the fighting starts, you and your
    clansmen pick your targets and attack.
[11:33] THORGIL
    Everyone's desperate to prove they're
    the greatest daredevil on the North Sea.
[11:39] THORGIL
    After the battle,
    you enjoy plundering the spoils.
[11:42] THORGIL
    Guys kill each other all the time
    over women they can sell.
[11:48] THORGIL
    Olmar.
[11:49] OLMAR
    Huh?
[11:49] THORGIL
    What do you say?
    Do you want to go to England?
[11:53] OLMAR
    Uh, I...
[11:55] THORGIL
    What? You don't want to?
[11:57] OLMAR
    Oh, o-o-of course I'll go to war!
[12:01] OLMAR
    I'd love a chance to prove myself!
[12:03] THORGIL
    That's my little brother!
[12:03] OLMAR
    Ow...
[12:06] THORGIL
    Maybe I'll give you a souvenir.
[12:09] THORGIL
    Bring me my necklace.
[12:11] SUBORDINATE
    Yes, sir.
[12:21] OLMAR
    What is this, jerky? Can I eat it?
[12:25] THORGIL
    Sure, but ears don't taste very good.
[12:28] OLMAR
    Huh?
[12:30] THORGIL
    They're the ears of Englishmen.
[12:33] OLMAR
    Ears?
[12:46] OLMAR
    Oh, uh...
[12:48] THORGIL
    You really are a scaredy-cat.
[12:50] THORGIL
    How are you going to fight like that?
[12:54] THORGIL
    We're sons of Iron Fist Ketil.
[12:58] OLMAR
    Iron...
[12:59] OLMAR
    Iron Fist?
[13:01] THORGIL
    You don't know?
[13:03] THORGIL
    Our dad was a legend when he was young.
[13:06] THORGIL
    As soon as the fighting started, his weapon
    would shatter under his own strength,
[13:14] THORGIL
    so he'd fight the rest
    of the battle bare-handed.
[13:17] THORGIL
    He accomplished more than
    anyone fighting like that.
[13:23] OLMAR
    What? Our dad?
[13:27] THORGIL
    When I talk to the veterans,
    the name Iron Fist comes up a lot.
[13:32] THORGIL
    You should show more respect to Dad.
[13:36] KETIL
    Thorgil, you must be tired from your journey.
[13:40] KETIL
    Why don't you rest inside?
[13:42] THORGIL
    I'm not that weak.
[13:45] KETIL
    Thorgil.
[13:52] THORGIL
    If the great Iron Fist Ketil commands it.
[13:56] SNAKE
    Master.
[13:59] SNAKE
    I'm sorry, but could you take care of
     those two before you go off to rest?
[14:14] KETIL
    First, why don't you tell me your names?
[14:19] GUEST
    Come on, tell him your names.
[14:21] KETIL
    Don't do that.
[14:23] KETIL
    They can't speak because they're frightened.
[14:26] GUEST
    Sorry.
[14:29] KETIL
    Tell me your names.
[14:34] STURE
    I-I'm Sture. My younger sister's name is Thora.
[14:39] KETIL
    I see, I see. Sture and Thora.
[14:43] KETIL
    Do you have anyone who could
    speak in your defense?
[14:47] SNAKE
    Besides them, their family consists of
    their mother and a baby.
[14:50] SNAKE
    Their mother was sick in bed,
    so I didn't bring her here.
[14:54] SNAKE
    Their father is missing.
[14:57] KETIL
    What's your father's name? Is he well?
[15:03] SNAKE
    Answer him.
[15:06] STURE
    My d-dad is Snorri.
[15:09] STURE
    Last fall, he went out to sell vegetables
    and never came back.
[15:18] PATER
    Is your grandfather's name by any chance Bo?
[15:25] STURE
    Yes.
[15:28] PATER
    Their father is Snorri, son of Bo.
[15:30] PATER
    He owes money on the land
    he rents from you.
[15:33] KETIL
    Ah, that Snorri.
[15:36] KETIL
    I knew I hadn't seen him recently.
[15:39] THORGIL
    He must be dead.
[15:41] THORGIL
    He hasn't come back in a year.
[15:43] THORGIL
    He's not coming back.
[15:45] THORGIL
    A thief probably killed—
[15:47] STURE
    You're wrong! Dad's just out on an errand!
[15:59] KETIL
    Traditionally, families that have
    lost their breadwinner
[16:01] KETIL
    are hired by other families to do work.
[16:06] KETIL
    These children may be healthy,
    but they have a sick mother and a baby.
[16:11] KETIL
    Nobody would take them in.
[16:15] MISTRESS
    What's the matter, honey?
[16:19] KETIL
    J-Just got a bit of dust in my eye.
[16:26] KETIL
    So, what did these two steal?
[16:30] SNAKE
    Their crimes are numerous, but they
    confessed to stealing one bag of flour.
[16:36] SNAKE
    My men and I can attest to that.
[16:39] KETIL
    You didn't threaten them
    into saying that, did you?
[16:42] SNAKE
    No, of course not.
    Though I did convince them to talk.
[16:50] (Flashback) SNAKE
    I'll wait until this bag is empty.
[16:56] (Flashback) SNAKE
    You'll get off easy as long as you're honest.
[17:01] SNAKE
    I told them your name's written
    on the bottom of our bags.
[17:09] KETIL
    That's practically threatening them!
[17:11] SNAKE
    What? That wouldn't have been enough to
    make them confess if they weren't guilty.
[17:17] THORGIL
    Then it's simple. One arm.
[17:24] STURE
    M-My sister's still little!
    Please go easy on her!
[17:29] THORGIL
    Oh? Then you'll accept
    your sister's punishment, too.
[17:34] THORGIL
    We'll cut off both your arms.
[17:39] THORA
    No... Sture...
[17:42] SNAKE
    Well... I know what I said, but I'd like
    to ask you to go easy on them, too.
[17:52] THORGIL
    Then it's decided. Right, Dad?
[17:59] KETIL
    He's horrifying.
[18:01] KETIL
    I can hardly believe he's my son.
[18:05] KETIL
    Why did you have to steal from me?
[18:09] KETIL
    I have no choice but to punish you.
[18:17] PATER
    I'm against it.
[18:19] PATER
    You'd be practically executing him.
[18:21] PATER
    It's too great a punishment for theft.
[18:24] KETIL
    Pater...
[18:26] PATER
    May I offer my opinion, master?
[18:31] KETIL
    Yes. Yes, speak, Pater.
[18:37] PATER
    As one who helps run this farm,
[18:41] PATER
    I don't think it's right to harshly
    punish such a young boy.
[18:45] PATER
    Cutting off both his arms
    would make him useless.
[18:49] PATER
    Sture, how old are you?
[18:53] STURE
    Twelve.
[18:55] PATER
    Good. That's old enough
    to start working with the adults.
[19:01] PATER
    You must be compensated for their theft,
    and their father's debt must be repaid.
[19:05] PATER
    They can pay you back by working.
[19:09] PATER
    I recommend that you hire these children
    and their mother to work on your farm.
[19:16] PATER
    They can grow crops on the
     land you lent to their father.
[19:23] PATER
    I'll teach Sture what to do.
[19:26] PATER
    If he grows into a good worker,
    you'll be fully compensated for this matter.
[19:32] PATER
    They won't need to steal anymore, either.
[19:35] PATER
    It solves the problem.
[19:38] KETIL
    Yes, yes. I couldn't agree more.
[19:41] KETIL
    I must be compensated
    for the loss, yes. In that case—
[19:44] PATER
    For the aforementioned reasons, I believe a
    beating would be an appropriate punishment.
[19:54] KETIL
    What?
[19:57] THORGIL
    Well, I understand your argument.
[20:00] KETIL
    No. No, wait. They can pay back
    what they stole by working for me.
[20:06] KETIL
    Paying off their debt
    can be their punishment.
[20:11] SNAKE
    They can't get off with
    no punishment at all, master.
[20:16] SNAKE
    If you don't, people won't take us seriously.
[20:26] SNAKE
    And nobody likes a kid with sticky fingers.
[20:30] SNAKE
    Punishing them is for their own good.
[20:39] SNAKE
    How many strokes will it be?
[20:50] KETIL
    Five... Ten. Ten strokes.
[20:55] SNAKE
    That's ten strokes each.
[20:59] SNAKE
    You're first, boy. Bite down hard.
[21:04] THORA
    Sture...
[21:05] STURE
    Stay back!
[21:07] THORA
    Sture!
[21:08] STURE
    Twenty! Hit me 20 times!
[21:12] STURE
    Just please, please don't hit my sister!
[21:17] THORGIL
    Oh? Now this is interesting.
    You've got some guts.
[21:21] THORGIL
    Dad, let me do it.
[21:24] SNAKE
    What? But you don't know how to hold back.
[21:27] THORA
    N-No...
[21:28] SNAKE
    Don't kill him.
[21:29] THORGIL
    Yeah, yeah.
[21:30] SNAKE
    Be gentle.
[21:31] THORGIL
    Yeah, yeah.
[21:33] SNAKE
    Don't hit his head or anything.
[21:35] THORGIL
    Okay, okay.
[21:36] THORGIL
    Gentle, right? Here we go, kid.
[21:46] THORA
    Sture!
[21:51] THORGIL
    One.
[21:52] THORA
    Sture!
[21:52] KETIL
    W-Wait. Stop, Thorgil.
[21:55] KETIL
    I'll do it. I'll do it myself.
[22:25] THORGIL
    Where's Dad?
[22:27] OLMAR
    He went to bed.
[22:29] THORGIL
    Good grief. Iron Fist Ketil
    must be getting old.
[22:37] KETIL
    All that Iron Fist stuff is a lie.
[22:43] KETIL
    A Norse man can't be a coward
     and make it in this world.
[22:50] KETIL
    Everyone expects me to be brave.
[23:00] KETIL
    Nobody suspects a "great man"
    like me would lie about that.
[23:15] KETIL
    I'm afraid of Thorgil, my own son.
[23:22] KETIL
    I'm afraid of war. I'm afraid of violence.
[23:29] ARNHEID
    Being kind can't possibly be a bad thing.
[23:35] ARNHEID
    I know your pain.
[23:41] KETIL
    You're the only one who'd say that to me.
[23:46] KETIL
    You're the only one I can tell everything.
[23:54] KETIL
    Stay with me.
[23:58] KETIL
    Without you, my world is full of darkness.
