1
00:00:40,332 --> 00:00:41,792
Thors.

2
00:00:48,716 --> 00:00:49,717
Helga.

3
00:00:57,099 --> 00:00:58,184
Thors.

4
00:01:23,209 --> 00:01:26,420
YEAR 987 HJÖRUNGAVÁGR

5
00:01:28,339 --> 00:01:32,301
Why were you just standing there?
Are you feeling unwell?

6
00:01:32,384 --> 00:01:34,428
Sorry. I dozed off.

7
00:01:37,431 --> 00:01:41,602
We're too spread out. We won't be able
to hold off their second wave.

8
00:01:42,770 --> 00:01:47,858
Thorkell, when Floki approaches,
bring up the frontline.

9
00:01:48,192 --> 00:01:50,361
You mean that blockhead?

10
00:01:51,028 --> 00:01:53,155
I don't mind. What about you?

11
00:01:53,906 --> 00:01:55,407
I'm going to stop the enemy.

12
00:01:56,367 --> 00:01:58,035
Stop? What do you mean?

13
00:01:58,661 --> 00:02:00,371
How are you going to get there?

14
00:02:03,249 --> 00:02:06,794
I see. You're nimble.

15
00:02:06,877 --> 00:02:08,420
Wait. You're sneaking off alone?

16
00:02:48,711 --> 00:02:50,963
Maria. Sorry...

17
00:05:56,482 --> 00:05:59,526
SOMEWHERE NOT HERE

18
00:06:20,172 --> 00:06:23,592
YEAR 1002 ICELAND

19
00:06:41,735 --> 00:06:44,613
Thorfinn, can you feed the
sheep and milk the cow?

20
00:06:44,696 --> 00:06:45,697
Okay.

21
00:07:30,826 --> 00:07:32,828
After leaving Markland,

22
00:07:32,911 --> 00:07:35,873
our ship sailed further south.

23
00:07:36,248 --> 00:07:38,292
"There are better lands."

24
00:07:38,959 --> 00:07:41,712
That's what the wind was telling us.

25
00:07:50,721 --> 00:07:52,806
And then we found it.

26
00:07:55,309 --> 00:07:57,227
The new continent.

27
00:08:03,984 --> 00:08:08,071
A new world where fruit grows
and grassy plains cover the land.

28
00:08:09,281 --> 00:08:11,700
I named that land.

29
00:08:19,583 --> 00:08:23,462
The name of that land is Vinland.

30
00:08:26,924 --> 00:08:31,970
So how about it, boys? Have a better
opinion of me, Leif Ericson, now?

31
00:08:32,304 --> 00:08:34,723
You're amazing, Leif.

32
00:08:35,015 --> 00:08:35,933
What happened next?

33
00:08:36,016 --> 00:08:36,850
Was anyone there?

34
00:08:36,934 --> 00:08:37,768
Was it warm?

35
00:08:37,851 --> 00:08:39,853
Was it bigger than Iceland?

36
00:08:39,937 --> 00:08:45,817
Yeah. It was much bigger than this place.
There was grass growing everywhere.

37
00:08:50,447 --> 00:08:52,491
We saw some Natives too.

38
00:08:53,992 --> 00:08:57,496
We couldn't understand each other,
but we became friends.

39
00:08:58,664 --> 00:09:02,626
This feather headdress and
pipe are gifts from them.

40
00:09:03,293 --> 00:09:05,045
Listen. See this thing here?

41
00:09:05,837 --> 00:09:09,925
Only true warriors are allowed to wear it.

42
00:09:11,051 --> 00:09:14,096
Well, you know...

43
00:09:16,848 --> 00:09:18,058
That's amazing.

44
00:09:19,101 --> 00:09:21,270
What? The kids are still awake?

45
00:09:21,353 --> 00:09:22,271
Can I touch it?

46
00:09:22,354 --> 00:09:26,692
Sorry. I wanted them
to hear Leif's stories.

47
00:09:27,067 --> 00:09:30,696
A true warrior? You really are amazing.

48
00:09:30,779 --> 00:09:36,785
Right? You're a good boy, Thorfinn. Why don't
you come sail with me when you grow up?

49
00:09:36,868 --> 00:09:38,578
What? I want to sail with you now.

50
00:09:38,912 --> 00:09:40,205
Now?

51
00:09:40,289 --> 00:09:42,082
Something's not right, Leif.

52
00:09:42,833 --> 00:09:44,584
My grandfather told me

53
00:09:45,002 --> 00:09:49,756
that Jormungand lives in the west,
and eats any ship that dares approach.

54
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:52,217
And beyond that, there's nothing.

55
00:09:52,759 --> 00:09:57,472
That's exactly why you should realize
how amazing I am.

56
00:09:57,556 --> 00:10:00,892
See? This is the proof. I'm a true warrior.

57
00:10:00,976 --> 00:10:03,603
Leif, you're not a warrior.

58
00:10:03,687 --> 00:10:05,856
What? You don't know anything.

59
00:10:05,939 --> 00:10:08,567
The battlefield isn't the only place
where warriors are found.

60
00:10:09,067 --> 00:10:12,696
Sailors fight against the sea.
They're amazing.

61
00:10:13,905 --> 00:10:15,073
I knew it.

62
00:10:15,157 --> 00:10:15,991
Yeah.

63
00:10:16,074 --> 00:10:17,117
What?

64
00:10:17,784 --> 00:10:21,330
Everyone says you're just
like a kid with a beard.

65
00:10:21,413 --> 00:10:24,082
You're always going on adventures,
and you're useless in battle.

66
00:10:25,208 --> 00:10:29,421
You just can't think for yourself.
Thorfinn, you believe me, right?

67
00:10:32,132 --> 00:10:36,803
Do you mean I'm just a wandering old man
who can't fight?

68
00:10:36,887 --> 00:10:38,722
You don't believe me?

69
00:10:38,805 --> 00:10:44,478
Well, it's true that my
father is a warrior...

70
00:10:49,232 --> 00:10:54,321
Thors. These kids think I'm a fool.
Beat some sense into them.

71
00:10:54,404 --> 00:10:56,531
All right. That's enough for today.

72
00:10:57,824 --> 00:11:00,327
Ari, send them home.

73
00:11:00,410 --> 00:11:01,870
Yes, Thors.

74
00:11:02,621 --> 00:11:03,705
See you later.

75
00:11:03,789 --> 00:11:04,873
Bye.

76
00:11:22,307 --> 00:11:25,936
I see. Several people froze
to death in Greenland.

77
00:11:26,269 --> 00:11:30,440
Yes. The cold wave will be severe this
year. A lot of livestock will die.

78
00:11:31,108 --> 00:11:36,029
The problem is that it gets harder
to endure the cold as you get older.

79
00:11:38,573 --> 00:11:41,576
It's so cold.

80
00:11:42,119 --> 00:11:43,245
Thanks.

81
00:11:44,037 --> 00:11:46,581
These two are the only ones getting weak.

82
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:51,253
You must be cold, Ylva. I'll warm you up.

83
00:11:51,336 --> 00:11:52,462
You pervert.

84
00:11:53,046 --> 00:11:55,841
Mother, go to sleep.
You'll catch a cold again.

85
00:11:55,924 --> 00:11:59,594
- I'm fine. Can you help me tie up the sheep?
- Okay.

86
00:12:03,557 --> 00:12:05,767
Looks like life is tough here too.

87
00:12:06,435 --> 00:12:07,435
Yeah.

88
00:12:08,228 --> 00:12:11,606
Someday we might get a winter so cold
that no one survives.

89
00:12:12,023 --> 00:12:16,486
Back in my country, my brother is
making plans to emigrate right now.

90
00:12:17,696 --> 00:12:18,822
It's far, right?

91
00:12:20,240 --> 00:12:21,240
What?

92
00:12:22,284 --> 00:12:24,494
I made the round trip.

93
00:12:28,957 --> 00:12:32,544
Go. Vinland is near.

94
00:12:32,878 --> 00:12:34,963
- Captain Thorfinn.
- What?

95
00:12:35,714 --> 00:12:37,966
It's Jormungand.

96
00:12:38,049 --> 00:12:40,927
Bring it on, you monster.

97
00:12:46,766 --> 00:12:48,018
That hurts.

98
00:12:52,481 --> 00:12:55,901
Sister. Sleep in your own bed.
There's not enough room.

99
00:12:55,984 --> 00:12:58,695
What? I don't want to.

100
00:12:59,112 --> 00:13:02,324
That's not fair.
I'm the one who warmed up this bed.

101
00:13:04,743 --> 00:13:07,746
They're still talking.

102
00:13:09,956 --> 00:13:14,085
Don't pay attention to them.
Worrying is for adults.

103
00:13:14,961 --> 00:13:18,965
Come over here. I'll give you a hug.

104
00:13:26,681 --> 00:13:32,562
Hey, Father. Why can't we get a slave?

105
00:13:33,188 --> 00:13:36,900
Mother's health is poor.
And now I have to help with the chores.

106
00:13:36,983 --> 00:13:40,028
That's not what we do.
Stop asking the same thing every year.

107
00:13:42,697 --> 00:13:44,741
You're so weird.

108
00:13:51,122 --> 00:13:52,123
Ylva.

109
00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:56,753
I thought I was going to die.

110
00:13:57,003 --> 00:13:58,004
Are you hurt?

111
00:13:58,088 --> 00:13:59,130
I'm fine.

112
00:14:00,340 --> 00:14:01,383
What's wrong?

113
00:14:01,883 --> 00:14:03,927
There's something under here.

114
00:14:06,763 --> 00:14:07,763
Ylva?

115
00:14:34,708 --> 00:14:38,336
Hey, old man.
How much of your story yesterday is true?

116
00:14:38,837 --> 00:14:41,339
What are you talking about? It's all true.

117
00:14:42,090 --> 00:14:46,845
Then take me on this ship. I'll believe
it if I see it with my own eyes.

118
00:14:46,928 --> 00:14:50,849
Idiot. That's not what it means to believe.

119
00:14:50,932 --> 00:14:54,603
If you want to ride a boat,
then go ask your father.

120
00:14:54,936 --> 00:14:58,940
Our warship is sitting over there. Our village
has been using it for many generations.

121
00:14:59,024 --> 00:15:01,776
I'm sure your father would
be happy to lend it to you.

122
00:15:03,194 --> 00:15:06,823
My father's so stingy. He always says no,
no matter how many times I ask.

123
00:15:07,449 --> 00:15:09,284
He's not being stingy.

124
00:15:10,619 --> 00:15:14,539
The ocean here is scary, Thorfinn.

125
00:15:15,999 --> 00:15:19,544
I got trapped in an ice floe
once, when I was young.

126
00:15:20,211 --> 00:15:24,758
I had just moved to Greenland.
I was careless.

127
00:15:25,300 --> 00:15:30,388
We ran out of food in no time.
We ate ice to make us forget our hunger.

128
00:15:31,431 --> 00:15:34,059
Our boat was finally crushed by the ice.

129
00:15:34,726 --> 00:15:38,063
We were left with no choice
but to walk on the sea.

130
00:15:41,483 --> 00:15:44,653
And then one day,
I noticed I was the only one left.

131
00:15:46,529 --> 00:15:49,824
My six companions were all dead.

132
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:55,205
Why?

133
00:15:56,539 --> 00:16:01,294
Why do we live so far north,
if we have to go through all this?

134
00:16:05,256 --> 00:16:08,760
Helga. Boil some water. Ylva.
Bring the fur blanket.

135
00:16:08,843 --> 00:16:09,843
Okay.

136
00:16:11,096 --> 00:16:13,139
Oh, no. What happened?

137
00:16:13,223 --> 00:16:14,766
He was buried in the snow.

138
00:16:23,566 --> 00:16:26,653
That looks like it hurts.
What happened to him?

139
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:28,530
Add more wood to the fire.

140
00:16:28,613 --> 00:16:29,739
Okay.

141
00:16:30,907 --> 00:16:36,329
Hey, Father. Isn't he already dead?
His hands and feet have already rotted.

142
00:16:36,705 --> 00:16:40,458
That guy's dangerous.

143
00:16:41,418 --> 00:16:47,048
He's not from our village. Poor thing.
Why was he outside in the blizzard?

144
00:16:47,841 --> 00:16:49,592
Why?

145
00:16:50,802 --> 00:16:55,432
He's a runaway slave.
You'll get in trouble if you hide him.

146
00:17:00,770 --> 00:17:02,230
We ran away.

147
00:17:02,731 --> 00:17:06,609
My ancestors used to live much further
to the east, a long time ago.

148
00:17:07,402 --> 00:17:09,612
In a land called Norway.

149
00:17:10,530 --> 00:17:13,450
It's warmer than here.
The sea doesn't freeze.

150
00:17:14,117 --> 00:17:18,037
It's a good land, protected by many coves.

151
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:23,835
But one day,
a powerful man named Harald appeared.

152
00:17:24,878 --> 00:17:28,965
Harald's forces conquered our villages
like a raging fire.

153
00:17:29,591 --> 00:17:34,137
He proclaimed himself to be the first
king of Norway and became its ruler.

154
00:17:34,846 --> 00:17:36,639
He forced the people to choose

155
00:17:37,474 --> 00:17:42,812
whether they would obey the
king, or leave Norway.

156
00:17:43,855 --> 00:17:46,900
Many people hated Harald's tyranny.

157
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:49,778
They moved to a faraway land,
away from Harald's reach.

158
00:17:50,987 --> 00:17:54,157
They came here, to Iceland.

159
00:17:56,451 --> 00:17:57,535
You're lying.

160
00:18:00,079 --> 00:18:01,873
You're a liar.

161
00:18:02,332 --> 00:18:05,251
My father and my ancestors
would never run away.

162
00:18:05,668 --> 00:18:08,755
Stupid old man. You wandering old coot.

163
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:20,475
Father.

164
00:18:22,018 --> 00:18:25,730
Father. Listen to me. Leif said...

165
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:36,574
Welcome back, Thorfinn.

166
00:18:37,617 --> 00:18:39,244
Who is he?

167
00:18:39,786 --> 00:18:42,247
He's someone else's slave. He ran away.

168
00:18:45,834 --> 00:18:47,293
He came back to life.

169
00:18:47,961 --> 00:18:50,421
Hey, you. Can you say your name?

170
00:18:53,341 --> 00:18:54,384
I'm so cold.

171
00:18:54,968 --> 00:18:57,345
The fire. Ylva, get the fire going.

172
00:18:57,428 --> 00:18:58,763
Oh, okay.

173
00:18:59,430 --> 00:19:01,516
Where did you come from?

174
00:19:05,436 --> 00:19:07,230
Are you going to make me go back...

175
00:19:08,273 --> 00:19:10,525
to Halfdan's household?

176
00:19:11,025 --> 00:19:14,195
Halfdan? You came from the other side
of the mountains?

177
00:19:16,281 --> 00:19:17,824
I hate it there.

178
00:19:18,867 --> 00:19:19,867
I hate it.

179
00:19:22,036 --> 00:19:23,036
But...

180
00:19:24,581 --> 00:19:25,748
I don't...

181
00:19:26,916 --> 00:19:28,877
have anywhere else to go.

182
00:19:34,340 --> 00:19:37,802
Thors. Come. Halfdan is down at the harbor.

183
00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:42,807
Those guys came to pick a fight again.
You're the only one who can handle him.

184
00:19:43,474 --> 00:19:46,853
They said something about a slave.
They forced their way onto shore.

185
00:19:47,270 --> 00:19:51,983
Leif is trying to intervene,
but I'm afraid he'll start a fight.

186
00:19:52,567 --> 00:19:53,860
Just come.

187
00:20:00,241 --> 00:20:04,162
Chains are the only type of necklace
that looks good on a human.

188
00:20:04,746 --> 00:20:06,247
Not gold. Not silver.

189
00:20:07,123 --> 00:20:08,708
An iron chain.

190
00:20:10,335 --> 00:20:15,423
A chain around a man's neck
is the only way to make him half decent.

191
00:20:18,968 --> 00:20:20,511
Don't you agree?

192
00:20:22,972 --> 00:20:27,268
Last night, one of my slaves cut his chain
and ran away.

193
00:20:27,685 --> 00:20:29,145
Do you know anything about this?

194
00:20:29,979 --> 00:20:31,856
Stop trying to pick a fight with us.

195
00:20:32,815 --> 00:20:35,610
You're just trying to
drag up old fights again.

196
00:20:36,069 --> 00:20:38,821
- We've had problems with him before.
- What a bunch of sissies.

197
00:20:38,905 --> 00:20:41,991
- We had a mediation the other day.
- You think your numbers scare us?

198
00:20:42,408 --> 00:20:45,453
You brat. I remember you.

199
00:20:46,120 --> 00:20:48,873
You cut off my left arm
during that one fight.

200
00:20:49,207 --> 00:20:53,252
How dare you cut off my brother's leg?

201
00:20:53,336 --> 00:20:55,630
Stop, Ari.

202
00:20:55,713 --> 00:21:00,259
My brother will never be able to walk
again. I'm going to chop off your leg.

203
00:21:00,343 --> 00:21:04,180
Bring it on. Who cares about the law?
Who cares about the town assembly?

204
00:21:09,435 --> 00:21:10,812
Halfdan...

205
00:21:11,187 --> 00:21:13,898
I'm going to tie you up, you bastard.

206
00:21:24,492 --> 00:21:27,078
I won't let anyone get
away with breaking the law.

207
00:21:27,745 --> 00:21:29,664
The law is a chain.

208
00:21:29,747 --> 00:21:34,085
The only way to make a heretic a human is
to bind him with the law.

209
00:21:35,336 --> 00:21:36,754
Don't forget.

210
00:21:41,300 --> 00:21:44,512
The runaway slave is a young Slav.

211
00:21:45,179 --> 00:21:47,348
Have you seen him?

212
00:21:53,563 --> 00:21:56,149
Where am I?

213
00:22:01,654 --> 00:22:05,825
I've never felt so peaceful before.

214
00:22:07,035 --> 00:22:09,287
Hang in there. Hey, you.

215
00:22:09,704 --> 00:22:11,414
Stay awake. Or you'll die.

216
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:13,499
Thors.

217
00:22:16,294 --> 00:22:17,420
Dad.

218
00:22:19,297 --> 00:22:22,675
Mom. Sister.

219
00:22:23,342 --> 00:22:26,220
You were all here.

220
00:22:26,846 --> 00:22:28,890
I was worried about you.

221
00:22:29,390 --> 00:22:31,517
We all got sold to different places.

222
00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,063
Where am I?

223
00:22:36,105 --> 00:22:38,316
Why am I...?

224
00:22:43,780 --> 00:22:45,364
Far, far to the west,

225
00:22:46,032 --> 00:22:50,661
across the sea,
there's a land called Vinland.

226
00:22:52,205 --> 00:22:53,706
It's warm

227
00:22:54,999 --> 00:22:55,999
and fertile.

228
00:22:56,667 --> 00:23:01,380
It's a faraway land,
without slave traders and without war.

229
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:03,925
What do you think?

230
00:23:05,843 --> 00:23:10,223
Come live there with us someday.

231
00:23:12,391 --> 00:23:13,684
Vinland...

232
00:23:17,438 --> 00:23:18,564
I see...

233
00:23:21,776 --> 00:23:25,988
This land is called Vinland.

234
00:23:37,959 --> 00:23:41,671
I found him. Pardon my bad manners, Thors.

235
00:23:42,338 --> 00:23:45,550
I'm the rightful owner of that slave.

236
00:23:45,633 --> 00:23:47,135
Give him back to me.

237
00:23:48,636 --> 00:23:50,138
Father...

238
00:23:50,221 --> 00:23:51,556
Come, Thorfinn.

239
00:23:52,598 --> 00:23:53,766
Halfdan.

240
00:23:55,226 --> 00:23:56,394
You know...

241
00:23:56,811 --> 00:23:58,688
We weren't trying to hide him.

242
00:23:59,188 --> 00:24:02,692
We saved your slave when
he was about to die.

243
00:24:02,775 --> 00:24:05,987
Halfdan. How much did you pay for this man?

244
00:24:09,198 --> 00:24:13,035
Father, it's rude to ask that.

245
00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:15,163
Two sheep. Both young ewes.

246
00:24:15,830 --> 00:24:17,915
I'll give you three sheep. I'll buy him.

247
00:24:20,042 --> 00:24:21,669
What do you think, Halfdan?

248
00:24:23,129 --> 00:24:25,423
I'm bringing him back.

249
00:24:25,506 --> 00:24:29,218
I have to torture him in front of the other
slaves to make sure they learn their lesson.

250
00:24:33,890 --> 00:24:35,683
Then I'll give you four sheep.

251
00:24:36,934 --> 00:24:39,937
You bastard.
Didn't you hear what Halfdan said?

252
00:24:40,021 --> 00:24:41,022
Shut up.

253
00:24:43,191 --> 00:24:45,109
What if I said I want twice that many?

254
00:24:46,444 --> 00:24:50,031
I'll pay. I'll give you all ewes.
Under 3 years old.

255
00:24:56,370 --> 00:24:59,415
Eight sheep for a man who's good as dead?

256
00:25:03,169 --> 00:25:04,962
That was a good deal.

257
00:25:06,964 --> 00:25:10,301
No way. The deal's closed?

258
00:25:13,846 --> 00:25:18,309
I bet you think you freed
him from his chains.

259
00:25:19,310 --> 00:25:21,854
Where are you going to take him now?

260
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,403
I'll be the one to choose the sheep.

261
00:25:44,460 --> 00:25:46,837
Sister. Are you sad?

262
00:25:46,921 --> 00:25:52,009
Of course I'm sad. He cost eight sheep.
But he died right afterwards.

263
00:25:53,135 --> 00:25:57,765
Father, you idiot.

264
00:25:57,848 --> 00:25:58,849
Father.

265
00:26:00,518 --> 00:26:02,979
Did we run away too?

266
00:26:03,562 --> 00:26:04,897
Leif told me...

267
00:26:05,773 --> 00:26:08,943
that our ancestors fled here from the east.

268
00:26:10,194 --> 00:26:12,697
He said they ran away and came here.

269
00:26:14,031 --> 00:26:16,951
Yes. That's what they say.

270
00:26:21,872 --> 00:26:22,957
Then...

271
00:26:29,547 --> 00:26:33,384
Then where does everyone
who wants to run away from here...

272
00:26:35,594 --> 00:26:36,887
go?
