[00:20] BADGER
There were two of them.
[00:22] GUEST A
It must be them again.

[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.
