[00:04] ---
    In the 11th century,
[00:05] ---
    the invasion by Denmark's army
    and the Vikings

[00:09] ---
    continued to intensify.
[00:15] ---
    ENGLAND 1012 AD
[00:25] ---
    In October,
[00:27] ---
    the attacks, which had continued for several years,
[00:30] ---
    reached a turning point.
[00:32] ---
    VICINITY OF JELLING DENMARK
    KING SWEYN'S ESTATE
[00:36] ---
    Are you telling me
    to withdraw my troops from England?
[00:40] ---
    We're not withdrawing. We're letting them rest.
[00:44] ---
    Marching in the winter weakens them.
[00:49] ---
    Let the soldiers rest.
[00:53] ---
    Yes, sir. As you wish.
[00:57] ---
    The summer.
[01:00] ---
    We're going to strike next summer.
[01:04] ---
    I, too, shall lead an army in battle.
[01:13] ---
    So, suddenly we get a break?
[01:14] ---
    ENGLAND COAST
    DANISH ARMY BASE
[01:16] ---
    I want to go home.
[01:18] ---
    We don't need those pirates for now, either.
[01:25] ---
    I thought I'd be able to earn a lot this year.
[01:28] ---
    We can't do anything,
    now that the army is staying put.
[01:31] ---
    This is why I hate being a hired hand.
[01:37] ---
    What's Askeladd going to do?
[01:42] ---
    Askeladd.
[01:44] ---
    It'd be a shame to spend all winter like this.
[01:48] ---
    And we already raided all the good villages.
[01:52] ---
    True.
[01:53] ---
    What are you going to do?
[01:55] ---
    We can't do anything about it.
[01:59] ---
    We're going to do what the birds do.
[02:01] ---
    We'll go to where the food is.
[02:20] ---
    KINGDOM OF FRANCE
    VICINITY OF LOIRE RIVER
[02:23] ---
    Don't just stand there.
[02:30] ---
    They have a ram.
[02:31] ---
    Bring the crossbowmen.
[02:33] ---
    One. Two.
[02:38] ---
    Alternate fire with two groups.
[02:40] ---
    Aim.
[02:43] ---
    Fire.
[02:51] ---
    It's no good. Retreat.
[03:14] ---
    It looks like the Franks are fighting
    amongst themselves.
[03:17] ---
    The fort's defended by only a few men.
[03:19] ---
    The attackers have 800.
[03:22] ---
    I can't believe they attacked the fort head-on.
[03:26] ---
    So, this is the local clan's headquarters.
[03:28] ---
    How about it? Doesn't it smell like treasure?
[03:34] ---
    So, that's what you're after.
[03:36] ---
    Let's do it, Askeladd.
[03:38] ---
    We'll side with the attackers.
[03:40] ---
    Let's smash open the treasure chest,
    and take everything inside.
[03:45] ---
    All right.
[03:46] ---
    I was wondering why we came to the boonies.
[03:50] ---
    You're amazing, Askeladd.
[03:51] ---
    Your predictions were spot-on.
[03:54] ---
    Let's make up our loss from England.
[03:56] ---
    Okay, Thorfinn.
[03:58] ---
    You're up.
[04:19] ---
    We're going to war.
[05:56] ---
    NORMANNI
[05:58] ---
    We're going to war.
[06:00] ---
    Make contact with their leader.
[06:03] ---
    Give him this message:
[06:06] ---
    "You're terrible at battle.
[06:08] ---
    I can't stand watching you.
[06:10] ---
    Therefore, my men will help you.
[06:13] ---
    This is a once-in-a-lifetime offer.
[06:15] ---
    I shall lead you to victory, no matter what.
[06:19] ---
    Once the fort falls, we will take half of the spoils.
[06:24] ---
    We shall attack again tomorrow morning."
[06:27] ---
    After you deliver the message, stay in their camp,
    and observe the situation.
[06:32] ---
    Got it? Then go.
[06:36] ---
    What's wrong?
[06:38] ---
    Go, Thorfinn.
[06:42] ---
    Do you have any idea how many people I've killed?
[06:53] ---
    I went scouting,
[06:54] ---
    and I also brought up the rear.
[06:59] ---
    I've accomplished enough.
[07:02] ---
    But you...
[07:05] ---
    What? You want a reward?
[07:08] ---
    If you close the deal, I'll give you three gold pieces.
[07:11] ---
    I swear in the name of Tyr.
[07:15] ---
    Don't test me.
[07:17] ---
    How long do you plan to keep running away?
[07:20] ---
    I'm so scared.
[07:22] ---
    I was just joking.
[07:25] ---
    But you know...
[07:27] ---
    You'd have to bring me at least one head with a helmet,
    if you want that.
[07:40] ---
    He never changes.
[07:42] ---
    Are you sure it's okay
    to let him handle the negotiation?
[07:46] ---
    Soldiers are short-tempered
    when they're weak.
[07:49] ---
    They might kill the messenger,
    before the negotiations start. It happens all the time.
[07:54] ---
    Who cares if we lose some kid that follows us?
[08:04] ---
    What are you doing, kid?
[08:06] ---
    This is no place for a kid.
[08:09] ---
    I'm a messenger.
[08:11] ---
    Is there anyone who can speak Norse?
[08:13] ---
    What's wrong with you? What language is that?
[08:16] ---
    He's not a Frank.
[08:20] ---
    Is he a spy from the fort?
[08:22] ---
    Secure him.
[08:30] ---
    I'm a messenger.
[08:31] ---
    Is there anyone who can speak Norse?
[08:38] ---
    You want half of the spoils?
[08:42] ---
    You mercenaries. Don't push your luck.
[08:46] ---
    "You want half of the spoils?
    Don't push your luck."
[08:49] ---
    You're pretty confident in yourself.
[08:51] ---
    Normanni kid.
[08:55] ---
    Normanni?
[08:56] ---
    Those people from the north attacking England?
[08:58] ---
    "Those people from the north attacking England?"
[09:02] ---
    Even a kid can see it.
[09:04] ---
    If you keep attacking the front gate,
    your men are just going to die.
[09:07] ---
    Their defenses are weak on the lake.
[09:09] ---
    We're going to attack there.
[09:12] ---
    Your plan is ill-considered.
[09:13] ---
    The river that leads to the lake gets steeper upstream.
[09:17] ---
    There's even a waterfall.
[09:20] ---
    Our ship sunk downstream.
[09:24] ---
    That's what would happen
    if you attacked from the lake.
[09:27] ---
    "That's what would happen
    if you attacked from the lake."
[09:29] ---
    Then do you want to turn down my offer?
[09:32] ---
    Then Askeladd and his hundred men are going
    to join the defenders in the fort.
[09:38] ---
    He'll do the same thing if I die too.
[09:41] ---
    If I don't signal that the deal has been closed,
[09:43] ---
    you're going to make enemies
    of a hundred fierce men from the Northern Sea.
[09:52] ---
    Very well.
[09:53] ---
    Your Highness.
[09:54] ---
    But...
[09:55] ---
    if you're lying, I'm going to cut off your head.
[09:59] ---
    If you're telling the truth,
    then in the name of Jesus Christ,
[10:03] ---
    I'll share my bread equally.
[10:04] ---
    "I'll share my bread equally."
[10:07] ---
    Give me back my dagger.
[10:10] ---
    It's a memento from my father.
[10:30] ---
    It's Thorfinn's signal.
[10:32] ---
    One high arrow, and two low arrows.
[10:35] ---
    Let's hurry.
[10:37] ---
    Let's cross the pass before the moon rises.
[10:42] ---
    We're stuck guarding the ship the whole time.
[10:45] ---
    I want to fight too.
[10:48] ---
    Damn that fat general.
[10:53] ---
    Over there.
[11:01] ---
    It's a dragon!
[11:04] ---
    It's on the mountain.
[11:15] ---
    A dragon?
[11:21] ---
    You said, the dragon climbed the mountain?
[11:23] ---
    Yes. Last night,
    the soldiers guarding the ship all reported they saw it.
[11:28] ---
    I see.
[11:29] ---
    It's a bad omen, Your Highness.
[11:33] ---
    I want to see it too.
[11:37] ---
    Kid.
[11:38] ---
    Your friends haven't come yet.
[11:41] ---
    "I want to see it too."
[11:42] ---
    The sun is already up.
[11:45] ---
    "The sun is already up."
[11:46] ---
    Just attack, you fat-ass.
[11:49] ---
    You'll understand soon.
[11:51] ---
    You said something mean just now, didn't you?
[11:54] ---
    It looks like our entertainment for tonight is going
    to be cutting off your head.
[12:03] ---
    Forward march.
[12:04] ---
    Forward march.
[12:13] ---
    Forward.
[12:19] ---
    Attack.
[12:30] ---
    Oh, no. It's started.
[12:32] ---
    We're late. Bastards.
[12:35] ---
    Put your heart into it.
[12:37] ---
    The battlefield is waiting.
[12:45] ---
    It'll be the same every time.
[12:47] ---
    Come on.
[12:49] ---
    Put a bridge on the west side too.
[12:51] ---
    I don't care how many men we lose.
[12:56] ---
    Hey. Which one is their leader?
[13:00] ---
    The one with the feather on his helmet.
[13:02] ---
    It's him.
[13:06] ---
    A head with a helmet.
[13:12] ---
    You bastard.
[13:13] ---
    He was lying. Kill him.
[13:16] ---
    Kill the kid.
[13:22] ---
    You bastard.
[13:25] ---
    You let the kid escape.
    You haven't captured the fort.
[13:27] ---
    What's wrong with you guys?
[13:30] ---
    You're thinking you'll go home,
    once the snow falls.
[13:32] ---
    That's not going to happen.
[13:33] ---
    You're not going home until the fort is captured.
[13:50] ---
    What?
[14:36] ---
    Heave-ho.
[14:44] ---
    Row. Full speed ahead.
[14:52] ---
    Whoever gets there first gets twice as much.
[14:55] ---
    Put your heart into it.
[14:59] ---
    I see.
[15:00] ---
    Those were friendly forces.
    All troops, forward. Don't stop until the fort falls.
[15:07] ---
    Never imagined they'd carry their ship over the pass.
[15:11] ---
    Don't hesitate.
[15:12] ---
    Eighty men from the right wing,
    go to the boat landing.
[15:15] ---
    Crossbowmen, this way.
[15:28] ---
    Is that all you got?
[15:30] ---
    The lake's not a barrier.
[15:32] ---
    It's a shallow pond that makes for a perfect attack.
[15:35] ---
    Great. We're going in.
[15:46] ---
    What? They pierced my shield,
    even though they're so far away.
[15:49] ---
    They got Olov.
[15:52] ---
    Askeladd.
[15:53] ---
    Crossbowmen?
[15:54] ---
    We're going to take a few losses.
[15:57] ---
    This is the perfect chance.
[16:00] ---
    Fire as much as you can before they land.
[16:10] ---
    A child?
[16:16] ---
    What?
[16:17] ---
    They stopped attacking?
[16:20] ---
    Maybe they ran out of arrows.
[16:24] ---
    Men. Prepare to land.
[16:27] ---
    This is our chance.
[17:09] ---
    - Oh, no.
    - Kill him.
[17:10] ---
    - This is for the captain.
    - Damn.
[17:12] ---
    - That kid's crazy.
    - Get him.
[17:23] ---
    Go. Storm them.
[17:35] ---
    All right. Go on a rampage.
[17:42] ---
    Holding the gate's too hard for these guys.
[17:46] ---
    Hurry up, and kill them all, guys.
[17:53] ---
    One. Two.
[18:21] ---
    Those Normannis are crazy.
[18:33] ---
    That fortress was no match
    against my military tactics.
[18:39] ---
    The captain of the fortress defense died in battle.
[18:42] ---
    The soldiers said, a kid did it.
[18:46] ---
    That kid?
[18:48] ---
    Never underestimate a Normanni.
[18:50] ---
    If I send him back now,
    he's going to become an enemy.
[18:54] ---
    What shall we do?
[18:57] ---
    Those guys came over the pass, right?
[18:59] ---
    They'll probably go back the same way,
    carrying the ship.
[19:02] ---
    That's when we'll attack.
[19:04] ---
    A sailor on land is like a baby.
[19:11] ---
    Your Highness.
[19:14] ---
    I have a message for General Jabbathe.
[19:17] ---
    What is it? Tell me.
[19:20] ---
    The treasure room...
[19:30] ---
    Where's my treasure?
[19:33] ---
    They also plundered the church
    and the houses of all the leaders.
[19:36] ---
    They took everything.
[19:39] ---
    What?
[19:41] ---
    I see.
[19:42] ---
    I have a message for the leader of the Franks.
[19:45] ---
    What?
[19:52] ---
    As for your half of the spoils,
[19:54] ---
    you get victory,
[19:57] ---
    and we get the treasure.
[19:59] ---
    You're fine with that, right?
[20:01] ---
    I think we're being quite generous here, you know.
[20:04] ---
    We let you have the fort, after all.
[20:09] ---
    - You bastards.
    - Oh, no.
[20:12] ---
    - They'll descend the waterfall.
    - Savages.
[20:14] ---
    - Get the boats.
    - You pirates.
[20:16] ---
    - All boats in the fort have been destroyed.
    - You greedy beasts.
[20:19] ---
    You scammers.
[20:21] ---
    You country bumpkins.
[20:23] ---
    I can't understand French.
[20:26] ---
    Now then, shall we call it a night?
[20:29] ---
    Thorfinn hasn't returned.
[20:31] ---
    Oh, really?
[20:32] ---
    Oh, well. I bet he's dead anyway.
[20:35] ---
    Now there's more treasure for us.
[20:47] ---
    You're alive?
[20:48] ---
    You're tough, kid. Did you get hurt?
[20:51] ---
    Askeladd.
[20:52] ---
    It's the captain's head.
[20:55] ---
    Well, did you cut it off?
[21:02] ---
    You promised.
[21:04] ---
    I won't let you say no.
[21:09] ---
    I, warrior from Iceland, son of Thors, Thorfinn,
[21:13] ---
    in the name of my father's sword,
    challenge you, Askeladd, to a duel.
[21:18] ---
    To avenge my father's death.
[21:20] ---
    - Hey.
    - He wants to duel now?
[21:22] ---
    He's got guts.
[21:25] ---
    I, son of Olaf, Askeladd,
[21:27] ---
    in the name of Artorius, my ancestor,
[21:30] ---
    accept your challenge, Thorfinn.
[21:35] ---
    However...
[21:37] ---
    ask me again later.
[21:39] ---
    We're getting out of here now.
[21:41] ---
    Row, men.
[21:43] ---
    If you don't hurry up, they'll capture the river.
[21:47] ---
    You bastard. Don't play the fool with me.
[21:55] ---
    Who cares if there's a dragon?
[21:57] ---
    I'm not scared.
[21:58] ---
    Right, right.
[21:59] ---
    But you know...
[22:06] ---
    It's here!
[22:21] ---
    Goodbye.
[22:23] ---
    Franks.
[22:27] ---
    - Let's go home.
    - We struck it big.
[22:31] ---
    We'll survive the winter.
[22:36] ---
    Yeah.
