[00:42] THORFINN
    Huh?
[01:03] THORFINN
    Oh, whew.
[01:07] THORFINN
    It was just a dream.
[01:10] THORFINN
    Boy, that was scary.
[01:13] THORFINN
    Father had been killed.
[01:16] THORFINN
    I wandered across battlefields
    fighting men who were like monsters.
[01:22] THORFINN
    And in the end, I became a slave.
[01:32] THORFINN
    I'm glad I'm here.
[01:42] THORFINN
    It's so peaceful.
[01:59] BRAIDS
    What's with this guy?
[02:02] TOWEL
    H-He's so persistent.
[02:04] BRAIDS
    Stay down already!
[02:12] TOWEL
    Damn it.
[02:17] EINAR
    What's wrong? I'll keep fighting.
[02:23] EINAR
    Let's find out if we're beneath you or not!
[02:39] TOWEL
    I don't have time for this.
[02:42] TOWEL
    Aw, man. I've had enough.
[02:49] TOWEL
    You'd better prepare yourselves.
[02:52] TOWEL
    You slaves have got some serious punishment
    waiting for you after going this wild.
[03:10] EINAR
    We won.

[05:10] THORFINN
    Father!
[05:16] THORFINN
    Listen to this.
[05:18] THORFINN
    I just had a crazy dream.
[05:22] THORFINN
    A bunch of arrows came flying, and you—
[05:25] THORS
    I smell blood.
[05:28] THORFINN
    Huh?
[05:31] THORS
    Who did you kill...
[05:35] THORS
    with that knife?
[05:39] THORFINN
    What?
[06:23] THORS
    It was to protect you.
[06:28] THORS
    That strength was for protecting you.
[06:34] THORS
    I'm sorry, Thorfinn.
[06:38] THORS
    I still had things to tell you.
[06:43] THORS
    There was still so much
    I needed to teach you.
[06:51] THORFINN
    No. Father...
[06:57] THORFINN
    I... This is...
[07:01] THORS
    I'm sorry...
[07:02] THORFINN
    I did this!
[07:05] THORS
    ...for leaving you alone.
[07:08] THORFINN
    Father, wait! Wait! Father!
[07:16] THORS
    You understand now.
[07:21] THORS
    You don't have any enemies.
[07:24] THORS
    Nobody has any enemies.
[07:45] THORS
    There's no one who it's okay to hurt.
[07:52] THORS
    There never was.
[09:20] THORFINN
    What is this place? Valhalla?
[10:00] THORFINN
    They're laughing...
[10:26] THORFINN
    Bjorn?
[10:40] ASKELADD
    Still stuck up there, huh, Thorfinn?
[10:56] ASKELADD
    Hey. It's been a while.
[11:12] THORFINN
    Askeladd...
[11:17] ASKELADD
    You never learn, do you?
[11:20] ASKELADD
    You're already back here again?
[11:27] THORFINN
    Is this Valhalla?
[11:34] ASKELADD
    What? Valhalla?
[11:43] ASKELADD
    You think this is the afterlife?
[11:46] ASKELADD
    You can't be serious.
[11:49] ASKELADD
    The afterlife is a much nicer place than this.
[11:53] ASKELADD
    Look carefully.
[11:56] ASKELADD
    This place is no different
    from the world of the living.
[12:02] ASKELADD
    It's where all the shit gets dumped...
[12:07] ASKELADD
    Where all warriors wind up.
[12:13] ASKELADD
    It's the purest form of war.
[12:19] ASKELADD
    There is no victory. There is no end.
[12:24] ASKELADD
    In this place, everyone besides
     yourself is your enemy.
[12:32] THORFINN
    Everyone... is your enemy...
[12:40] ASKELADD
    Do you remember, Thorfinn?
[12:43] ASKELADD
    You used to live here with us.
[12:49] ASKELADD
    But for better or for worse, you became empty.
[13:03] ASKELADD
    That's why you were able
    to escape this place.
[13:10] ASKELADD
    I shouldn't be saying this as the man
    who dragged you here, but you're lucky.
[13:17] ASKELADD
    Not many men ever manage to escape.
[13:24] ASKELADD
    Just look at Bjorn.
[13:31] ASKELADD
    You were once filled with the idea of being
    a warrior, but then you were emptied out.
[13:40] ASKELADD
    What's inside you now?
[13:48] THORFINN
    I'm... still a warrior.
[13:57] THORFINN
    I struck someone in a fit of rage.
[14:00] THORFINN
    That's why I'm back here.
[14:06] THORFINN
    I still reside in this place.
[14:10] THORFINN
    My hands are about to give out, too.
[14:16] THORFINN
    I'm pathetic. I never grow.
[14:25] ASKELADD
    Me, me, me.
[14:28] ASKELADD
    Good grief. A little soul-searching is all well
    and good, but try to keep your eyes open.
[14:38] ASKELADD
    Something terrifying's
    right beneath your feet.
[14:59] ASKELADD
    You're kicking them? How cruel.
[15:04] ASKELADD
    Shouldn't you lend an ear to their complaints?
[15:10] THORFINN
    Complaints?
[15:12] ASKELADD
    That's right. Look closely.
[15:15] ASKELADD
    I'm sure you recognize some of those faces.
[15:18] ASKELADD
    They're all of the people you killed.
[15:27] THORFINN
    What?
[15:36] THORFINN
    I...
[16:11] THORFINN
    You... All of you...
[16:18] THORFINN
    I don't know who you are
    or where you're from.
[16:24] THORFINN
    I can't remember where or when I killed you.
[17:01] THORFINN
    I'm sorry.
[17:23] ASKELADD
    Unbelievable. What an uncouth lot.
[17:34] ASKELADD
    Come on! You don't have time to cry.
[17:38] ASKELADD
    You don't want to fall back
    down here, do you?
[17:44] ASKELADD
    Even if they're hanging off you, keep climbing!
[17:47] ASKELADD
    Climb!
[17:54] ASKELADD
    That's your battle.
[18:06] ASKELADD
    Go!
[18:09] ASKELADD
    Take the people you killed with you!
[18:13] ASKELADD
    Fight your true battle!
[18:16] ASKELADD
    Become a true warrior,
[18:19] ASKELADD
    Thorfinn!
[19:07] THORFINN
    A dream?
[19:13] THORFINN
    A true...
[19:31] THORFINN
    Einar. Einar!
[19:34] THORFINN
    Hey! Are you alive?
[19:44] EINAR
    Yeah.
[19:47] EINAR
    We won the fight.
[19:59] EINAR
    Man, we've hit rock bottom.
[20:03] EINAR
    We're drowning in debt, our wheat
    has been ruined, and I'm a mess.
[20:10] EINAR
    On top of that, we'll be punished
    for getting into that fight.
[20:17] EINAR
    But seeing you punch
    that guy sure was satisfying.
[20:27] EINAR
    Ow...
[20:31] EINAR
    What's wrong? Are you in pain, too?
[20:44] THORFINN
    Einar, I've used these hands
     to kill so many people.
[20:57] THORFINN
    People no different from your family...
[21:02] THORFINN
    People whose names I didn't even know.
[21:06] THORFINN
    People who I bore no grudge against.
[21:19] THORFINN
    And today, I struck another person.
[21:30] THORFINN
    But it ends now.
[21:37] THORFINN
    I'll never hurt anyone again.
[21:42] THORFINN
    As of today, I'm swearing off violence.
[21:47] THORFINN
    I'm going to be reborn.
[21:49] THORFINN
    I need to be reborn and
    start atoning for what I've done.
[22:13] THORFINN
    I'm going to fight my true battle.
[22:22] EINAR
    I see. All right.
[22:27] EINAR
    I don't really get it,
    but I hear you loud and clear.
[22:37] THORFINN
    I'm going to be reborn.
[22:48] TOWEL
    They're not going to be punished?
    That's ridiculous!
[22:52] TOWEL
    Master, this matter concerns
    order and discipline on the farm!
[22:59] KETIL
    Pater found this on the
     ravaged farm this morning.
[23:08] KETIL
    By the way, Trygve,
    where's that coat you always wear?
[23:12] TRYGVE
    Huh? What? Uh...
[23:15] KETIL
    The farm was ravaged by wild boars.
    There was no fight.
[23:20] KETIL
    That's the story we're going with. Got it?
[23:28] PATER
    Thank you, master.
[23:32] KETIL
    You're a strong man, Pater.
[23:36] KETIL
    You're not the slightest bit afraid of being
    ostracized by the people you work with?
[23:41] PATER
    I've been through a lot.
[23:43] PATER
    After all, I used to be a slave.
[23:48] SVERKEL
    Loosen up or you'll wear yourself out.
[23:51] SVERKEL
    Let the weight of the hoe do the work.
[23:57] THORFINN
    Yes, sir.
