Do you have what it takes to stop me?

Just as

Askeladd did back then?

Please leave, Thorfinn.

You're a strange guy, but I don't want to kill you.

This is how the world works.

In the end, whoever has more power always gets their way.

Damn Vikings...

How foolish of you, my son.

You're still hesitant of becoming a full-fledged king?

Why did you reveal your honest feelings

to such lowly people?

I hope you didn't think that you could possibly understand each other.

They are a pitiful flock of sheep.

You are a lone shepherd.

You raise them, cull them, and skin them.

The work of a shepherd cannot be understood by the sheep.

You rule over them, that's all there is to it.

That is the best thing you can do for the sheep.

Canute...

If you intend to use your authority to forcefully get your way...

Kill him.

That man is a threat.

One sheep can confuse the flock

and send them running off a precipice.

I will...

Kill him.

Fulfill your duty as the king.

I will...

run.

Run?

That's it?

That's all?

What else can I do?

Do you want us to kill each other here or what?

The paradise you speak of

saves the majority

and oppresses a few.

That's the way it is, right?

I can't say if that is good or bad.

And I have no right to condemn your recklessness.

So I have no choice but to run away.

- Einar, let's go. - You are excellent.

As a warrior.

You must have other options.

Did you

appear before the emperor

just to admonish me?

You got your face swollen for that?

And it was all a waste.

Goodbye,

Your Majesty.

So many...

So many people want to bargain with me.

Some even try to set me up.

But...

What is up with you?

You are such an idiot!

You have nothing up your sleeve?

You came here completely unarmed and you got beaten to a pulp

just to tell me to stop seizing this farm?

Is it that funny?

It is.

This is the stupidest peace negotiation I've ever experienced.

You're going to run, huh?

Yeah.

Someone like him

can come from Vikings, huh?

What a beautiful man.

You will turn your back on conflict.

Then run to where?

Somewhere other than here.

I can't tell you about it.

My territory is constantly expanding.

In time,

my authority may reach there too.

I'll keep running as long as I can.

As long as there is a place to run to,

I will not fight.

I will build a land of peace

in a place out of the king's reach,

using an approach different from you.

For the people who cannot

live in the world you create.

For your sake, and my sake as well.

Are you saying that you will fill in the gaps

that my project can't fill?

Are you capable of that?

My power is much smaller compared to yours.

I can't handle a gap that is too big.

If you continue to persecute people like this,

nobody will be able to help you anymore.

So you better try your best too.

Don't give me more work to do.

My goodness...

You really learned how to use your words.

I wonder who you got that from.

Interesting.

This is the most difficult peace negotiation I've ever experienced.

What... in... the world?

Even the ships are gone?

Where did you go, King Canute?

This is ridiculous!

We still haven't settled this!

Floki was grumbling.

He can't comprehend why we're withdrawing from the farm.

Are you also unhappy about it, Wulf?

Not at all.

I will call off our plans of requisitioning other farms as well.

I'd feel bad if I gave Thorfinn more work to do.

Up until now,

I thought you were the only one

who was fighting alongside me.

But today,

I found a new comrade.

After this, Canute

disbanded the Danish troops that were

stationed in England and proving to be a financial burden.

Ultimately, Canute's personal force of Danish troops

was reduced to one fleet of just 16 ships.

However, they did not face any rebellions within England

like they anticipated.

Because Canute relinquished military power,

the peers of England came to see Canute's trust.

The relationship between the conqueror and the conquered

was starting to change.

It feels good.

As long as you're alive...

you can start again...

Why do I have to live?

Thorfinn...

- You're all better now? - Yeah.

I'm still a little wobbly,

but I'm okay.

Stop being so reckless.

Sorry.

Are you going, Thorfinn?

To a land on the other side of the sea?

It's Vinland.

Vinland...

At that moment,

when Arnheid

took her last breath,

I couldn't give an answer right away.

Why

do they have to live?

These souls

live through hell and seek peace in death.

What can you possibly say to them?

I want a world where we can tell them to live.

A place where we can confidently say that to people who don't have

any escape other than death.

A place that overshadows the appeal of death.

I want that in our world.

That is all...

That is all we ever wanted.

I can't back down.

If it doesn't exist...

If it's not there, I'll make it.

Einar...

Come with me, my brother.

We're going to make a land of peace in Vinland.

Somewhere we can proudly tell Arnheid about.

Let's do it, my brother. Let's go to the other side of the sea

and create a land where there are no slaves or war.

For Arnheid.

Are you sure

you're okay with this?

It wasn't my place to do that anyway.

I'll tell the master and everyone else

that the young master was the one who persuaded the king.

That'll be great.

You can leave Arnheid's grave to me.

I will protect it.

Thank you so much.

It's nothing.

Thorfinn, I want to become like you.

I want to become

a real man who is strong and kind, like you.

Olmar, I heard

that you made the decision to stop fighting.

That is a wonderful thing.

It took me 15 years.

But...

I finally know what I am supposed to do.

This is a wonderful farm.

Please get it back on its feet and protect it.

Old master,

thank you very much.

You always helped us out.

I told you, it was just part of our contract.

There is nothing for you to thank me for.

I wish they took at least one silver mark.

Thorfinn! Einar!

My name is Roald! I am Roald, son of Grim!

Thank you, Roald!

I wish you all the best!

Come here.

Good boy.

ENGRAVE IT

ENGRAVE IT UPON YOUR BODY ENGRAVE IT UPON THE LAND

ENGRAVE IT UPON THE SEA

ENGRAVE IT UPON YOUR LOOT ENGRAVE IT UPON YOUR ENEMY

ENGRAVE IT

Hey, when are you going to start working, Boss?

- Come on! - Oh, quit yapping.

I was just taking a break.

I'll show you how to really work a field.

Oh, then why don't you show us?

I'll finish this before you know it.

ENGRAVE ITS TEXTURE UPON ME

My life

has always been about enduring,

I thought the countless hardships were part of living in this world.

Would you have guessed that

we would meet people like those two, Arnheid?

They're on their way...

to a world that we can't even imagine.

To a place other than here.

ENGRAVE THAT ENCOUNTER UPON ME

"Hometown."
