[footsteps approaching]

355
00:18:49,209 --> 00:18:51,043
[Leif] Seems I owe you my life.

356
00:18:54,043 --> 00:18:55,334
[slurping gently]

357
00:18:57,501 --> 00:18:58,668
The drink is enough.

358
00:18:58,668 --> 00:18:59,584
[slurps]

359
00:19:00,126 --> 00:19:02,584
Your braid and tattoos...

360
00:19:02,584 --> 00:19:03,834
[gentle music plays]

361
00:19:03,834 --> 00:19:06,459
You hail from somewhere else, woman.

362
00:19:07,626 --> 00:19:08,459
Where?

363
00:19:09,334 --> 00:19:12,709
I come from a place
where the chairs are tall as horses.

364
00:19:13,293 --> 00:19:15,126
A place too big for describing.

365
00:19:15,751 --> 00:19:16,876
Too big for me.

366
00:19:17,584 --> 00:19:18,418
Uh-huh.

367
00:19:19,793 --> 00:19:21,709
I don't know what that means.

368
00:19:21,709 --> 00:19:23,043
[giggles]

369
00:19:25,501 --> 00:19:28,168
I do not wish to owe debts
to a foreign woman.

370
00:19:29,751 --> 00:19:31,418
What can a prince give you?

371
00:19:31,418 --> 00:19:32,501
[grunts]

372
00:19:33,084 --> 00:19:34,126
[Sigrid moans]

373
00:19:36,626 --> 00:19:37,876
[Sigrid] <i>The girl stayed.</i>

374
00:19:38,459 --> 00:19:40,376
<i>She fought many battles.</i>

375
00:19:41,918 --> 00:19:43,376
<i>And the years passed.</i>

376
00:19:44,209 --> 00:19:46,209
[gentle music continues]

377
00:19:52,043 --> 00:19:53,209
Leif, I thought we'd--

378
00:19:55,168 --> 00:19:56,584
[chuckles] What's this?

379
00:19:56,584 --> 00:19:58,584
I made something for you.

380
00:20:00,001 --> 00:20:03,001
[billowing]

381
00:20:07,876 --> 00:20:08,709
[gasps]

382
00:20:08,709 --> 00:20:10,126
You built me a chair.

383
00:20:10,126 --> 00:20:12,084
No, I, uh...

384
00:20:12,709 --> 00:20:14,209
I built you a throne.

385
00:20:16,959 --> 00:20:21,584
At least I-- I hope you'll make it one.
I didn't want to assume, but...

386
00:20:21,584 --> 00:20:22,918
[metal clangs softly]

387
00:20:28,876 --> 00:20:29,709
Marry me.

388
00:20:33,918 --> 00:20:35,584
Hmm. Interesting.

389
00:20:37,209 --> 00:20:39,459
I will sit and think the matter over.

390
00:20:42,626 --> 00:20:43,918
[wood creaks]

391
00:20:45,459 --> 00:20:49,126
[Sigrid] <i>She knew then,
the moment her feet touched the ground,</i>

392
00:20:50,043 --> 00:20:51,251
<i>she was home.</i>

393
00:21:02,209 --> 00:21:04,209
[gentle music continues]

394
00:21:05,584 --> 00:21:06,418
[gasps]

395
00:21:06,418 --> 00:21:08,168
- Egill, I--
- Stop.

396
00:21:09,959 --> 00:21:12,001
Since you returned my hand to me,

397
00:21:12,543 --> 00:21:15,668
I am become Egill One-Hand after all.

398
00:21:16,168 --> 00:21:17,001
This?

399
00:21:17,751 --> 00:21:19,584
This is no longer mine.

400
00:21:20,334 --> 00:21:22,126
It smells of your magic,

401
00:21:22,626 --> 00:21:24,709
and when I run it over my face,

402
00:21:25,793 --> 00:21:29,043
you are touching my face.

403
00:21:30,459 --> 00:21:31,626
Egill...

404
00:21:33,126 --> 00:21:34,376
I must tell you.

405
00:21:35,626 --> 00:21:36,668
Tomorrow...

406
00:21:37,834 --> 00:21:39,334
Don't tell me the future.

407
00:21:41,043 --> 00:21:42,209
Tell me your name.

408
00:21:44,876 --> 00:21:45,876
Áile.

409
00:21:48,001 --> 00:21:48,959
Áile.

410
00:21:49,668 --> 00:21:51,126
Where should your hand go?

411
00:21:55,251 --> 00:21:56,876
[moans]

412
00:21:56,876 --> 00:21:58,459
[both moaning]

413

[gentle music continues]

[moans softly]

415
00:22:07,084 --> 00:22:09,168
Would you like a story of your own?

416
00:22:11,918 --> 00:22:12,834
Yes.

417
00:22:16,459 --> 00:22:17,918
Now hear of Thyra,

418
00:22:18,834 --> 00:22:20,584
the crossroads maid.

419
00:22:21,126 --> 00:22:24,334
Wild, lovely, and chaste...

420
00:22:27,418 --> 00:22:29,043
[Leif] On the eve of battle,

421
00:22:29,043 --> 00:22:32,834
she brought the leaders of the Völsungs
to their knees.

422
00:22:37,918 --> 00:22:39,168
[all moaning]

423
00:22:46,751 --> 00:22:47,959
[music intensifies]

00:22:58,251 --> 00:22:59,668

[Hervor gasps]

[Andvari snoring]

[giggling]

431
00:23:41,293 --> 00:23:44,459
- [man] Sharp, this head, and hard-honed.
- [eerie music plays]

432
00:23:45,459 --> 00:23:48,959
A haft of... World Tree wood.

433
00:23:49,501 --> 00:23:52,043
A good spear to spike a head.

434
00:23:53,126 --> 00:23:56,834
My eldest begotten is besotted with you.

435
00:23:56,834 --> 00:23:58,168
"The Weeping."

436
00:23:59,209 --> 00:24:00,251
And I see why.

437
00:24:01,043 --> 00:24:02,293
Who are you?

438
00:24:02,959 --> 00:24:05,876
I gave men the mead of poetry.

[magic whooshes, thrums]

440
00:24:08,834 --> 00:24:10,793

I am warrior and wanderer and wise.

00:24:32,376 --> 00:24:36,001
Remember what happened to Menja and Fenja,

448
00:24:36,001 --> 00:24:38,584
who sank their ship with salt.

449
00:24:39,293 --> 00:24:41,126
They dealt death, aye.

450
00:24:42,334 --> 00:24:43,209
But then...

00:24:43,709 --> 00:24:45,001
[tense music rising]

452
00:24:46,043 --> 00:24:47,418
