- I do not like this. - It is Odin's wish.
It is not right, father.
Prepare yourselves!
Your greed will doom us.
Father ...
Go back.
Behind you!
- Hello. - Morning.
Brage, have you been on my computer again?
There were lots of those strange emails again.
- Spam? - Yes. Ragnhild?
I've told you to buy a new one.
Two. Because you owe me one.
Guess we're taking the bus today.
Well, you guys are overdressed.
Is it anyone's birthday today?
No. It's graduation.
Ragnhild is going to sing.
Yes... It's three o'clock today. In the gym?
It will be ace. Ok, see you then.
Do you know what time it is?
It is 22 minutes past nine.
We're talking about over a million dollars here. Three more years of research.
And you?
Stick to the facts.
Yes, yes.
Facts.
The Oseberg ship represents -
- the largest and most spectacular Viking find in history.
In this wonderful tumulus we found the remains of -
- what we think is the Queen Aasa and her serf.
The Oseberg discovery has given us an unique understanding of this period.
However, we are constantly making new discoveries.
Since the reconstruction, the common perception has been that -
- the ship was used only for short trips -
- around Toensberg. (The south-east of Norway, close to Oslo)
But on the keel boards of the ship we found these.
These are microscopic shells.
And they only live on the coast of Finnmark. (the Northern most part of Norway) 40 00:07:53,932 - > 00:07:56,720 So, ladies and gentlemen ...
The Oseberg Vikings may have been in Finnmark.
And that is absolutely stunning.
Totally up in Finnmark !
Disregarding the shells, do you have any more evidence of this?
Is this all you have? 46 00:08:17,330 - > 00:08:19,868 Is this what we've spent our money on?
Obviously there are other things we could mention.
Yes? 49 00:08:45,358 - > 00:08:47,020 Come on, then.
What you must understand is that Oseberg tumulus is completely different -
- than anything else we've found.
Everything you see in this room -
- was buried with the Viking Queen Aasa.
You'd think they'd made it easy for us to understand, but it has not.
For these are the only runes -
- they found on the ship.
"Litet vis maor."
Man -
- knows -
- little. 61 00:09:21,895 - > 00:09:27,391 The largest Viking-find in the world, and the only thing they would tell us was:
Man knows little.
So what was it they knew -
- that we do not?
We found the heads of five animals in the grave. Aasa was cradling this one in her arms.
And this here ...
It might look like it's just a pattern.
But it is not.
I have studied this for years.
And it is not accidental.
These ...
are runes.
and what it says here ...
is Ragnarok. (Ragnarok means doomsday)
- Come again? - Ragnarok.
We have never before found "Ragnarok" written in runes anywhere.
I think Aasa knew much more than we realize.
She died with a secret.
There lies in the Oseberg tumulus -
- the answer to the riddle of Ragnarok .
We know what it means.
- The world's downfall. - That's what everyone thinks.
I think the origins of the myth about Ragnarok was a real event.
Something happened. Something that was so big -
- that it changed throughout the Norse mythology ...
Oh, come on!
This is so far-fetched.
"Man knows little. " That's the truth!
Sorry, but Sigurd has gone a little ...
If we knew it was this kind of nonsense our money was being spent on, -
- we had withdrawn our financial support several years ago.
This is simply too foolish. Enough is enough.
We have no evidence to support that is what you say!
I haven't told you anything. I can go through all the documentation with you.
I'm not the only one who believes this. Maren ...
Maren's dead. We're all sorry about that. But that was six years ago.
Five years ago.
You have hardly been outside the office since.
Do you have any idea what Allan is doing up there in Finnmark?
There's going to be an open position for a guide in the fall.
I suggest that you apply for it, Sigurd.
I had that meeting at work today.
It took more time than ...
than I had thought.
Have you and Ragnhild fallen out?
No.
She's probably just upset for the graduation business.
It is not so easy on your own. 109 00:13:55,293 - > 00:13:57,330 No.
But there are other fish in the sea.
- Ok. Where? - On the Internet.
Brage?
- Oops, I fat-fingered a button. - No, you didn't.
What did you write?
I wrote that you are an archaeologist and you like all things Viking.
Okay. And did you write how old I am?
Yes ...?
I got a message from a woman who's 57.
57?
Do you think that's a good match?
No.
Dad?
Where are we going for vacation?
Hey.
Come in.
Where are we going for our summer holiday?
- I haven't ... - Maiken is going to the Mediterranean.
- So is Gunnar is. - Gunnar is Gunnar.
I must admit that I was thinking -
- that maybe our cabin would be nice?
We're not going to the cabin!
Let's go to the Mediterranean and have a real holiday?
- I want to bring my snorkel and dive in the ocean. - You can swim in the pond at the cabin.
You like that. Come on! We have lots of good memories from the cabin.
You have.
Come on, Brage. It's time for bed.
- Did you brush up top? - Um ... yes?
"Uh ... yes?" Does that mean you have not done it?
- Maybe. - Did you brush in the back?
Yes, I have.
Anything the matter?
I just think that you're probably right. We need some sun.
Maybe experience something new, you know.
I won't believe it until I see it, dad.
Good night.
It's probably just PMS. I hope I don't get it.
- Sleep well, then. - Good night.
Hey. Why aren't you answering your phone?
- Have you stopped reading your mail? - Did you talk with the museum?
Whatever. I was going to come and show you this anyway.
- There have been things happening her today. - Nothing is more important than this.
There's no point trying to use a car to find the places where Viking ships might have docked.
It is completely out. Can't believe we didn't think of that!
I can do it.
I was about to give up. Then I rented a boat.
Started to thread my way up the coast.
And there it was!
For three years I have been up and down the coast of Finnmark -
- Without finding so much as a sea urchin fossil.
And then ... 161 00:17:15,660 - > 00:17:17,447 Huh?
- Would you get it out. - Ok.
- Will you grab the bag? - Yes. Get it out.
A rune stone.
Get my stuff. They're over by that globe there.
I'll be there when we present it. I found it, right?
- Museum guide? As if. - What?
- Henriksen stopped the project today. - Why?
We won't get any more money. He doesn't believe in all this.
We don't give two shits about Henriksen! He'll just slow us down, anyway.
Those aren't words, you know.
Do you see i ? It's like it's in code.
It is as if we are missing something.
- There is something in the middle here. - What? 175 00:18:38,200 - > 00:18:40,157 What in the world?
It looks kinda familiar, huh?
Hey, this might actually be illegal.
You work here, you know.
Suddenly it feels like trespassing.
Trespassing? You've got the key! You're supposed to lock up.
That was not hard, now was it?
- If Henriksen finds out ... - He's not going to get all the credit for this.
I just want to know your secret.
Forgive me.
There must be some kind of code key. Just have to get it right ...
It must be there.
- Yes, here it is. - What?
It's indicating that the O -
- is an A.
R ...
- is a N. - Can you find somewhere to write this down?
M ...
So if ...
"Aasa raised the stone ... "
" ... in memory of her father. "
"the King of Vestfold."
"As ... "
"As in folly went ... "
" ... to find god ... "
" ... gods ... godpower ... the power of the gods... "
" Midgard ... "
Something about Midgard and then something here .
" Three days ... "
- What? - Oh, look at this .
"Three days march -
- from this stone ... "
"Three days march -
- to the bottomless lake. "
The eye of Odin.
"Odin's Eye " .
Do you know what this means, Allan?
We'll be invited to Jimmy Kimmel?
Getting hot, Allan .
This -
- is a map.
This is a set of directions.
To a place where the Oseberg Vikings have been.
Where is it?
Okay.
I found it ... there.
Where? And then a three-day march.
How far is that, then?
- 100 kilometers. - 100?
- 80, then. - For ordinary people.
Eighty kilometers.
Here ...
Sigurd?
It's there!
- There are all the answers. - The answers? It's a treasure map!
It makes perfect sense. The Vikings sacked all over Europe.
And so they needed a place to hide everything.
And then ... they went there.
Should we pack our suitcases?
What's this ? 235 00:23:35,080 - > 00:23:38,539 I promised you that we were going to the mediterranean.
- Come on! - Yes, I did.
If this is what we think it is, we can move to the mediterranean. Ok?
For six years you've been trying to figure out the secret of the Oseberg ship. 239 00:23:52,640 - > 00:23:56,429 And then we so close To find out what it is.
Come on. It will be fun! It will be an adventure!
If Maren were here -
- you'd been packing your bags right now.
It will be fun.
Ragnhild will understand.
Finnmark?
My God, there's plenty of sun in Finnmark. It's sunny all day. Midnight Sun.
- Promise you that we can swim there? - Yes, there are lots of lakes.
Awesome. Plus degrees.
- Ragnhild? -Dad, Finnmark?
I'll bore myself to death.
You won't die of boredom. It will be fun!
Brage is packing his bags now . He is ready.
If you won't do it for me, please do it for him.
- It's going to cost you a computer, Dad. - So be it.
Look at this! Great.
- Where is the sun, dad? - It'll show up.
- Wonderful! - Yeah, great ... great.
And she's on time as well. Best assistant I've ever had. Hello!
- Hey! - Come on.
Hello!
- Hello. - Hello. Sigurd.
Elisabeth.
I've heard about you.
Oh, yeah?
- That's nice. - Do not be too sure about that .
- The car is here. - Ok.
Odin's eye?
What are we looking for?
The rune stone we found? It's a map. Probably a treasure map.
The Vikings sacked all over Europe and needed a place to hide their riches.
And they found that there!
It's got to be like that.
Do you tourists know where we're going?
This here is Leif. He will help us find our way inland.
Best local guide I managed to find. Ain't that right, Leif? 276 00:26:48,315 - > 00:26:52,730 So nice. Sigurd. Yes, this is going to be interesting.
Cash up front?
He is a great guy. A few quirks here and there.
He has spent too much time by his lonesome.
Come on!
Okay, let's go!
It's that way, right? That direction?
In there?
In there, yes. It was there the Vikings went.
A thousand years past.
We'll get answers to everything now.
My mom would have liked this, you know.
- Hello. - There's no signal here.
That's what I said. PMS.
This was not on the map.
This is the old border between Norway and the Soviet Union.
Now, it's no man's land.
Has not been a man here for 50 years. Only mosquitoes.
Are you sure you want to continue?
There was no border here thousand years ago. It'll be fine.
- Are you coming? - Yes.
- What are you looking for? - You needn't worry about that.
We're paying you, are we not?
Are there lots of mosquitoes?
Here, take this.
Wait. I'll help you.
What does your mom have to say about you going on a treasure hunt?
She is dead.
Oh, yes.
Cancer. Long ago.
Are you coming?
- Can I help you? - Yes.
- Has there ever been war here? - No.
Or, well, I guess. The cold war.
Okay, let's go.
This is the only lake for miles.
- It's got to be here, then? - This must be it?
The eye of Odin.
Ok, Maren ...
- Yes? - Yes, we are going.
They did not use those in the Viking age?
- Dad, can we go home now? - No, we can not.
- You do not know what you're looking for! - Of course I do!
- What? - I am looking for answers.
My God, that it is possible!
So it's Doomsday (Ragnarok) we are looking for?
Hey, you know, that book is kind of important ...
I have led you into in no man's land.
Surely I deserve to know where we're going?
Ragnarok?
Do you believe in fairy tales?
We're trying to find out what happened with the Vikings here a thousand years ago.
I'm serious.
Give me the book.
Look at that.
What can you get for that on eBay?
I wonder what happened to them.
Judging by that wire, they drove across the ice and got stuck.
Either way they do not need these anymore.
We are in the right place, you see. We just have to ...
It must have been hard for you.
Ragnhild told me.
Yeah, of course ...
It has been difficult for the kids to let her go.
It is not so easy to forget.
You don't need to forget.
You carry your past with you, whether you want it or not.
For example, I have my exes name tattooed here still. Unfortunately
That's just how it is.
Yes.
That's how it is.
Daddy!
What are you doing?
I found a cave.
Do you know how dangerous those caves can be?
Yes, I know. You should not be here by yourself.
Brage?
There is something over there.
That's a long way down!
Wow. Such space. Much volume.
Hey?
If you've got any last words , now's the time to let them out.
What?
Oh, yes. It goes ...
Okay.
Looks like fits like a glove. Thank you.
I'm ok.
Want me to help you, or what?
Wow!
My God!
They've been here!
They were here!
I do not know what to say !
Hello!
A Viking helmet.
There's only been one find of a Viking helmet throughout northern Europe.
It is unbelievable!
Kimmel is too smalltime for this. This is David Letterman material!
Minimum!
We have been right all along.
The Vikings were here.
Where did you find it? There might be a lot more.
- Here. - Where?
It was right here.
Everyone be extra careful. It can be anything.
Dad!
- Dad - Hold on.
- See it here ! - Just wait a bit.
Imagine Henriksens reaction. He's going to drop dead on the spot.
I'm thinking about how we're going to transport this.
There is so much stuff. To get it down to the museum in Oslo is not an easy task.
- What do you mean? - Huh?
- Are you saying we should give this up? - It is not ours.
Finder's keeper's. We found it.
Okay, you know what?
We are archaeologists. We adher to the Cultural Heritage Act.
You probably have no idea what that means.
Here's a guy who doesn't respect anything and never did.
You don't have a moral fibre in your being! This belongs in a museum.
Okay.
- What was the point of that? - He doesn't get it ...
This isn't going to any fucking museum.
It's not funny !
Now put these toys away neatly.
Now!
They can't take the stress of being transported ...
Well, aren't you the worlds best archaeologists.
Goddamnit, you cannot just leave us here!
You must send someone to help us get out.
Sure.
Will do.
Yes, yes!
- What's this? - Get it off!
What the hell is that?
Look here!
- It's just an old corpse. - Only?
I want to go home. I want to go home now!
Are you sure this is wise?
Do you have a better idea?
Great!
Gorgeous!
That went ok, right?
We'll sleep here tonight, and we'll get started on a new raft tomorrow.
This could be cozy?
Cozy? Where the hell do you live?
I don't have a place. I live in my suitcase.
What about your family?
Family is not really my thing.
This was my chance.
I've waited so long for this.
What are we not seeing?
We found some helmets and swords.
They would not have traveled here to hide it. That can't be true.
There's something that just doesn't make sense ...
Sigurd?
Let's have a look.
What is it?
I do not know.
But I know that I really want to find out.
We have to go back down.
It goes further in on other side. 438 00:55:55,352 - > 00:55:58,060 - This is no treasure. - No.
This is a tomb.
- What's that noise? - I do not know.
Elisabeth?
It's just a baby.
Maybe it's hungry?
It is very hungry.
Wonder what else it eats?
Elisabeth!
What the hell?!
Let me have a look.
Imagine.
More than 50 species perish from this Earth every day.
That's a lot of animals.
In a thousand years.
Allan?
What if the animal head on the -pillars -
- are made in the image of a real animal?
That lived here -
- a thousand years ago.
See!
Look ...
Son of a ...!
He died the same way as the Vikings .
What? They died a thousand years ago.
He didn't.
It must know a way out.
The kids!
Out!
Get out!
It's jammed!
Daddy, help!
Help!
We are being dragged down to the water!
Help!
The door is jammed! Get us out!
Allan!
We can't open the door!
Dad, save us!
Open the door!
Come on!
Go, go, go!
Dad! No!
Get away from the water!
- What the hell was that? - I do not know.
- What was that?! - Dad, what was that?
How is that even possible?
It's ok, Brage.
Everything will be ok.
Everything will be ok, Brage.
We just have to get out of here.
We have to get out of here one way or another.
Yes, but how the hell are we going to cross the water?
- Do you think it can pursue us on land? - Fucking hope not.
Allan
Hey. Did you find anything ?
Yes, I ... I found it here.
I think it can work pretty well if we attach the hook to ...
Do not miss.
I'm just saying.
Yes! It's stuck right in there.
Allan, you go first.
- I do not know if I can do this. - It will be fine.
Okay.
Letting go.
Are you sure it is not dangerous ?
Hey?
I'm absolutely sure of it.
Allan will catch you, you know. Ok?
Good boy.
Yes, clear.
It's stuck here!
I'll get it loose.
I'm coming out.
It's ok.
Elisabeth!
You have to get up here!
Dad!
Watch out!
Swim!
No!
It's ok, Brage. It's ok now .
What was it?
I do not know.
The bunker!
The lock!
Dad!
Over here!
Come on!
We must split up. Find a way out.
- Did you find anything? - No. You?
- Did you find anything? - No.
We are trapped .
- No ... - You're shitting me!
- You know what you've done? - Ragnhild ...
- This is your fault! - I'm sorry.
Do you think I wanted it to be like this?
I would just figure it out.
Hey sweetie ...
What does it really say?
It's about a Viking king who ...
That brought the men here to capture "the beast of Midgard".
It was the only part of the runes I could not decipher.
Aasa ...
She must have been the only one who survived.
The runestone was not a map.
It was a warning.
A warning that her father would not heed.
And they died here because he ...
Because he didn't realize that maybe they never should have -
- been here.
Isn't that ventilation piping?
Then they'll lead us out.
Come on.
Up this way.
Come on!
- We can do it. - Yes, it's going to work.
Grab the shelves!
Come on!
- Got the rope? - Yes.
Come on!
Okay.
A little higher!
Come on!
Yes!
Okay.
Give me the bag.
Come on.
Give me the bag.
What are you doing?
For six years I've been searching for this secret.
And people just laughed at us, Sigurd .
Allan, this is not good.
- I'll bring the animal home. - You know what?
Toss down the rope, and we'll forget about this.
- I'll take the beast with me. - Stop that!
Shut the fuck up! Come on, give me the bag!
Come on.
Allan!
Dad?
Ragnhild?
Hush, Brage. You must be quiet.
Where is dad?
I do not know.
You must be completely silent.
Absolutely quiet.
Daddy!
Dad!
Ragnhild
Dad!
Ragnhild!
Dad!
Sorry, Ragnhild.
I'm sorry.
Elisabeth?
Hey.
- Are you okay? - Yes, I think so.
This is totally awesome, Sigurd!
First Aasa brooch surfaces again, and now this !
This is going to shine an entirely new light on it all.
Do you even realize the possibilities this opens up?
Sponsors will queue up!
- Was it outside Bergen you found it? - That's right. A little south of Bergen.
I can gather the sponsors by tomorrow morning.
I quit.
- What? - I'm taking a position as a history teacher.
Short days, long vacation. Great for the family, you know.
Okay. Is everyone ready for three weeks at the cabin?
- Where are we going? - We're going to Spain!
