1
00:00:37,461 --> 00:00:41,538
West Gothia
A.D. 1187

2
00:01:10,214 --> 00:01:14,208
Far to the cold and dark North...

3
00:01:14,465 --> 00:01:19,703
was the land of West Gothia,
a small divided kingdom

4
00:01:21,424 --> 00:01:25,667
where three mighty clans
fought for the Crown.

5
00:01:35,091 --> 00:01:41,089
In this darkness the Christian faith was spread
through churches and monasteries.

6
00:01:42,467 --> 00:01:47,339
But for one woman the monastary was
a home without God.

7
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,468
Held without her consent.

8
00:01:50,635 --> 00:01:55,671
Separated from her beloved, sentenced
to serve in the Holy Land.

9
00:02:04,052 --> 00:02:06,208
Cecilia.

10
00:02:07,053 --> 00:02:09,127
You have a visitor.

11
00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:20,378
Cecilia.

12
00:02:20,929 --> 00:02:23,797
It is good to see you.

13
00:02:46,556 --> 00:02:49,719
Did something happen?
- No.

14
00:02:49,889 --> 00:02:53,172
You haven't visited
for many years, Brosa.

15
00:02:56,890 --> 00:03:03,386
Yes, your penance is soon finished.
Have you thought about the future?

16
00:03:05,808 --> 00:03:09,505
You are a Folkung friend
and a personal friend to the Queen.

17
00:03:09,683 --> 00:03:13,380
I am sure that many
would like to marry you.

18
00:03:20,642 --> 00:03:23,178
You need a man, Cecilia.

19
00:03:23,976 --> 00:03:27,763
It would strenthen your position.
It would strengthen us all.

20
00:03:27,763 --> 00:03:31,514
I have sworn to wait for him.

21
00:03:33,685 --> 00:03:39,884
Prepare for the worst.
- He's alive. He is a castle lord in Gaza.

22
00:03:40,061 --> 00:03:43,391
That information is several years old.

23
00:03:43,561 --> 00:03:47,886
- I will wait for him.
- And what if he doesn't come back?

24
00:03:51,312 --> 00:03:53,800
Then I will have no man.

25
00:03:59,187 --> 00:04:09,226
ARN - The Kingdom At Road's End

26
00:08:36,671 --> 00:08:41,375
My name is Arn Magnusson
from West Gothia.

27
00:08:44,623 --> 00:08:49,832
Who would belive it?
Meeting a Folkung down here.

28
00:08:50,206 --> 00:08:53,207
And a friend. Thank you.

29
00:08:54,206 --> 00:08:58,624
It was my family that helped King Knut
to hide in Norway.

30
00:09:01,423 --> 00:09:04,671
Is Knut Eriksson, King?

31
00:09:05,416 --> 00:09:11,417
You have been gone a long time.
Knut has reigned peacefully for many, many years.

32
00:09:17,216 --> 00:09:21,292
Do you know of Magnus Folkesson
at Arnäs?

33
00:09:21,500 --> 00:09:26,543
Of course, you bet I do.
But sadly Magnus Folkesson has passed away now.

34
00:09:27,710 --> 00:09:29,793
When?

35
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:36,710
He passed two winters ago.
His son Eskil is lord at Arnäs now.

36
00:09:46,212 --> 00:09:49,295
And you? How did you end up here?

37
00:09:58,754 --> 00:10:01,379
Was Magnus Folkesson your father?

38
00:10:03,379 --> 00:10:07,505
I am sorry. I am truly sorry.

39
00:10:24,014 --> 00:10:26,337
West Gothia...

40
00:11:09,351 --> 00:11:12,302
Cecilia. Come.

41
00:11:41,687 --> 00:11:44,258
Cecilia...

42
00:11:46,688 --> 00:11:53,847
God has sent you
so that you can forgive me.

43
00:11:54,897 --> 00:12:00,099
What can I forgive you for, Mother?
- My sins.

44
00:12:00,981 --> 00:12:05,306
My sins against you.

45
00:12:06,190 --> 00:12:11,938
I wanted to prevent yours and
Arn Magnusson's happiness.

46
00:12:23,816 --> 00:12:26,979
Give me my child! No!!!

47
00:12:31,567 --> 00:12:37,232
I wanted to punish you since I
never found love.

48
00:12:50,860 --> 00:12:53,016
I never wished for...

49
00:12:54,610 --> 00:12:57,811
the life of the monastary.

50
00:12:59,777 --> 00:13:02,776
It was my father's will.

51
00:13:03,528 --> 00:13:06,562
He sent me here...

52
00:13:07,987 --> 00:13:10,735
behind these walls...

53
00:13:18,863 --> 00:13:22,359
Yes. You are a good person, Cecilia.

54
00:13:23,030 --> 00:13:27,818
Good hearted and forgiving.

55
00:13:30,281 --> 00:13:36,229
Your prayers could shorten
my time in Purgatory.

56
00:13:38,406 --> 00:13:41,985
Can you forgive me?

57
00:13:45,199 --> 00:13:47,817
Can you forgive me?

58
00:13:52,324 --> 00:13:55,275
Only God can forgive you.

59
00:13:55,449 --> 00:13:59,195
I curse you.
I curse you, Cecilia Algotsdotter.

60
00:14:00,241 --> 00:14:05,113
I curse you.
You and Arn Magnusson.

61
00:15:24,283 --> 00:15:26,825
He was asking for it.

62
00:15:31,541 --> 00:15:33,746
You make two mistakes, Harald.

63
00:15:33,917 --> 00:15:36,618
First, your sword is too heavy.

64
00:15:36,534 --> 00:15:39,910
This? I would have picked a bigger one.

65
00:15:40,292 --> 00:15:43,207
Secondly, you fight like a Viking.

66
00:15:43,244 --> 00:15:48,827
With respect, my Lord,
I have never learned any other way,
and I have done well so far.

67
00:15:51,042 --> 00:15:54,077
I have received orders from Jerusalem.

68
00:15:54,252 --> 00:15:58,246
The Grandmaster wants us to join
with a force out in the desert.

69
00:15:58,418 --> 00:16:02,365
I want you to come with me
as my sergeant.

70
00:16:03,245 --> 00:16:04,954
Thank you, my Lord.

71
00:16:06,787 --> 00:16:15,371
I humbly thank you. It will be an honour to serve a Folkung.
- We have a long ride ahead of us

72
00:16:15,830 --> 00:16:21,705
Then you have picked the right man.
You will not be disappointed.

73
00:17:05,584 --> 00:17:08,584
It has gotten rather hot.

74
00:17:11,251 --> 00:17:13,585
If I only had some ale.

75
00:17:13,592 --> 00:17:16,163
Save your strength, Harald.

76
00:17:21,711 --> 00:17:24,460
Ale, ale, ale, ale, ale.

77
00:18:23,841 --> 00:18:27,716
Enemy forces are moving north.

78
00:18:31,591 --> 00:18:34,676
They must be planning something.

79
00:18:59,844 --> 00:19:04,594
What are the Saracen like?
Are they as evil as they say?

80
00:19:06,060 --> 00:19:12,342
They are like us.
Some are evil, some are good.

81
00:19:12,345 --> 00:19:16,346
But their leader Saladin...
He must be a terrible demon?

82
00:19:23,722 --> 00:19:28,347
Is it true that you are the only one
who has defeated him?

83
00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:32,228
Saladin is far from defeated.

84
00:19:36,806 --> 00:19:40,432
Isn't it just a matter of time?

85
00:19:46,939 --> 00:19:51,855
We must have faith, Harald.
We must have faith to conquer evil.

86
00:19:52,808 --> 00:19:55,599
And what if we can't conquer evil?

87
00:19:55,898 --> 00:19:58,683
Then we die.

88
00:20:07,559 --> 00:20:11,351
Heat during the day and icy cold nights.

89
00:20:15,434 --> 00:20:22,434
I already miss the fjords. Do you never long for home?
- Yes.

90
00:20:27,026 --> 00:20:30,356
But my time here is soon at an end.

91
00:20:32,193 --> 00:20:35,559
At the next full moon, I will return home.

92
00:21:00,279 --> 00:21:04,319
I am sorry for the loss of
the beloved Mother Rikissa.

93
00:21:04,654 --> 00:21:10,853
But in times of sorrow one must
look to the future, don't you think?

94
00:21:11,030 --> 00:21:16,731
I have spoken with the King's Earl Birger Brosa.
He speaks well of you.

95
00:21:16,906 --> 00:21:21,065
I have no reason to doubt his word.

96
00:21:21,239 --> 00:21:27,817
I would like to see a Reverent Mother from
the Folkung clan in one of our monastaries.

97
00:21:27,989 --> 00:21:31,403
And now there is an opening.

98
00:21:34,449 --> 00:21:40,363
Would you consider becoming Reverent Mother
in Gudhem? Your own monastary.

99
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:53,489
Thank you for this generous offer

100
00:21:55,118 --> 00:21:58,898
but I can not and will not
give my vows.

101
00:21:59,117 --> 00:22:03,443
You won't?
- My penance is nearly over.

102
00:22:03,618 --> 00:22:06,402
I have endured my punishment.

103
00:22:07,827 --> 00:22:12,733
At the next full moon I leave Gudhem
to go to the queen at Visingsö.

104
00:22:12,911 --> 00:22:16,822
I will await my bethrothed there.
Tell Brosa that.

105
00:24:03,621 --> 00:24:05,371
My Lord.

106
00:25:17,593 --> 00:25:20,213
Stay out of this, Harald.

107
00:30:04,612 --> 00:30:07,445
Al Ghouti.

108
00:30:07,612 --> 00:30:10,737
We thank you for coming.

109
00:30:12,862 --> 00:30:16,613
God sent you to our rescue.

110
00:30:19,988 --> 00:30:23,655
He has seen your sorrow.

111
00:30:23,863 --> 00:30:27,531
God tests our hearts through pain and sorrow.

112
00:35:23,391 --> 00:35:27,016
When do we ride on? Where will the battle be?

113
00:35:28,023 --> 00:35:30,014
You will not ride with us, Harald.

114
00:35:30,516 --> 00:35:32,558
I will ride where you ride!
- Go home to Gaza and go home with the next ship.

115
00:35:34,566 --> 00:35:37,729
I release you from service.

116
00:35:40,393 --> 00:35:44,851
I will fight by your side.
-Harald, it is an order.

117
00:35:47,435 --> 00:35:50,393
I am not afraid to die.
- I do not question your courage

118
00:35:52,109 --> 00:35:54,645
I had hoped that we
could travel home together.

119
00:35:55,317 --> 00:35:57,889
Now I send you ahead.

120
00:35:58,734 --> 00:36:01,935
One day we will meet there again.

121
00:39:10,411 --> 00:39:14,661
Pardon me... The Templars
will break camp in the morning.

122
00:39:16,578 --> 00:39:19,578
Their army stands south of the Horn of Hattin.

123
00:39:19,703 --> 00:39:23,412
They intend to meet us in the desert.
Fools...

124
00:39:28,371 --> 00:39:31,912
After a great defeat
comes a great victory.

125
00:39:32,079 --> 00:39:34,079
If God wills it.

126
00:39:53,755 --> 00:39:57,749
I swear I will come for you

127
00:40:01,423 --> 00:40:03,994
I will wait for you.

128
00:40:27,008 --> 00:40:29,628
What if he doesn't come back?

129
00:40:30,759 --> 00:40:33,592
Then I will have no man.

130
00:41:11,596 --> 00:41:16,502
You do not bring much with you
out into the world, Cecilia Algotsdotter.

131
00:41:20,263 --> 00:41:23,795
The King and Queen
wait for you at Visingsö.

132
00:41:26,847 --> 00:41:29,632
I have also sent Magnus there.

133
00:41:32,973 --> 00:41:36,338
So, now he knows?
- Now he knows.

134
00:42:12,309 --> 00:42:16,303
I heard that you declined
Bishop Erland's offer.

135
00:42:18,894 --> 00:42:22,176
I understand that you need
time to think.

136
00:42:22,352 --> 00:42:25,683
I have had all the time I need.

137
00:42:51,772 --> 00:42:54,224
Blanka!

138
00:42:55,647 --> 00:42:58,396
I am so happy to see you.

139
00:42:59,980 --> 00:43:03,180
Good to see you again, Cecilia.
- King Knut.

140
00:43:03,939 --> 00:43:06,179
This is for you.
- Thank you.

141
00:43:06,356 --> 00:43:11,690
Come and meet our sons. This is Erik the oldest.
- Welcome.

142
00:43:12,773 --> 00:43:17,147
This is Jon. -Welcome
and Little Knut.

143
00:43:39,151 --> 00:43:40,976
Magnus.

144
00:43:42,609 --> 00:43:44,849
Mother.

145
00:43:59,569 --> 00:44:05,068
Magnus, don't stand there in the rain.
Get inside.

146
00:44:14,820 --> 00:44:18,316
I only tell it like it is, even if it is
uncomfortable to hear.

147
00:44:18,988 --> 00:44:21,558
We have to be one step ahead
of Sverker Karlsson.

148
00:44:21,737 --> 00:44:27,521
It will not be long until he makes a claim on the Crown
and he will be bringing the Danes with him.

149
00:44:27,697 --> 00:44:29,237
I say let them come.

150
00:44:29,405 --> 00:44:33,814
We can not handle it.
We can not fight the Danes.

151
00:44:34,572 --> 00:44:39,444
I know where you stand. But I will not
bow down to Sverker or the Danes.

152
00:44:39,697 --> 00:44:44,071
No, no, that is not what I mean. All I am
saying is that we need to protect our home.

153
00:44:52,573 --> 00:44:57,362
Ah but look,
here is our beloved guest of honour.

154
00:44:58,408 --> 00:45:00,482
Come, sit down.

155
00:45:03,866 --> 00:45:06,057
You really look radiant, Cecilia.

156
00:45:06,057 --> 00:45:12,779
- And her future would be radiant also,
if she would listen to good advice.

157
00:45:13,951 --> 00:45:16,783
Brosa wants me as
Reverent Mother at Gudhem.

158
00:45:16,951 --> 00:45:19,700
It is an honourable task, Cecilia.

159
00:45:20,368 --> 00:45:25,274
The power of the church is great,
it is as great as the kings.

160
00:45:25,743 --> 00:45:29,524
We must try to place a Folkung

161
00:45:29,702 --> 00:45:31,740
in every important position
to weaken the influence of the Sverker clan.

162
00:45:31,911 --> 00:45:37,410
If Brosa is so enamoured with monastic life,
then I am sure Varnhem will receive a new brother with open arms.

163
00:45:37,578 --> 00:45:42,152
My wife has a sharp tongue but we both
know she means well, Brosa.

164
00:45:42,412 --> 00:45:45,493
Cecilia, welcome to Visingsö.

165
00:45:59,747 --> 00:46:02,780
Am I disturbing you?
- No.

166
00:46:03,206 --> 00:46:05,492
Come in.

167
00:46:11,498 --> 00:46:13,405
Sit down.

168
00:46:36,708 --> 00:46:38,782
You must have been wondering.

169
00:46:41,251 --> 00:46:43,655
Your father...

170
00:46:46,084 --> 00:46:49,035
Your father and I...
- I know.

171
00:46:50,168 --> 00:46:52,372
You don't have to...

172
00:46:56,460 --> 00:47:01,118
Brosa says that he is dead.
- He doesn't know that.

173
00:47:02,294 --> 00:47:09,453
He is. He is in my prayers.
- And in mine.

174
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:19,250
"Let those who fight in the cause of Allah sell the life of this world for the hereafter. To him who fighteth in the cause of Allah - whether he is slain or victorious - soon shall We give him a reward of great value." An-Nisa 4:74

175
00:51:27,692 --> 00:51:32,267
My name is Ebbe Sunesen.
I come from Denmark as a friend.

176
00:51:38,486 --> 00:51:42,396
The Danish King is very
concerned to keep peace.

177
00:51:43,611 --> 00:51:45,518
Also in your kingdom.

178
00:51:47,611 --> 00:51:51,024
He would like you to be reconciled
with the Sverker clan.

179
00:51:51,195 --> 00:51:56,777
If he thinks I will freely give the crown
to Sverker Karlsson, then he is greatly mistaken.

180
00:51:57,695 --> 00:52:02,353
If Sverker Karlsson wanted to take the crown
from you, he would have done so long ago.

181
00:52:04,487 --> 00:52:06,692
Like you once took it from his father.

182
00:52:23,531 --> 00:52:26,150
Let us be reasonable.

183
00:52:27,281 --> 00:52:33,812
The clans have fought for many generations,
and we have all lost many friends.

184
00:52:33,990 --> 00:52:37,735
I do not think we want any more bloodshed.

185
00:52:44,407 --> 00:52:46,564
Is the King feeling ill?

186
00:52:46,866 --> 00:52:51,359
He would have been a lot better
had he not been drinking so much ale.

187
00:53:09,494 --> 00:53:13,191
Tell me,
who is the Queen's friend.

188
00:53:14,286 --> 00:53:19,986
I am Cecilia Algotsdotter.
- Lay sister in the monastary of Gudhem for many years.

189
00:53:20,702 --> 00:53:22,409
A nun.

190
00:53:24,029 --> 00:53:27,029
She does not look like a nun!

191
00:53:26,995 --> 00:53:29,909
That is my mother you are talking about.

192
00:53:31,162 --> 00:53:37,490
Is that so, my boy? Where is your father?
- He is a Knights Templar in the Holy Land.

193
00:53:40,246 --> 00:53:42,403
My condolences.

194
00:53:43,622 --> 00:53:45,612
What do you mean?

195
00:53:46,663 --> 00:53:48,950
Jerusalem has fallen.

196
00:53:49,122 --> 00:53:54,278
The Templars where slaughtered like dogs.
They died.

197
00:53:56,498 --> 00:53:58,453
All of them.

198
00:54:09,457 --> 00:54:10,950
You lie.
-Magnus.

199
00:54:12,082 --> 00:54:16,539
I have sinned,
but I never lie.

200
00:54:19,791 --> 00:54:23,702
If you can best me in combat,
then you may call me what you like.

201
00:54:23,875 --> 00:54:26,494
Magnus, calm down.

202
00:56:51,506 --> 00:56:55,465
The conquered greet you,
victorious King.

203
00:56:55,631 --> 00:57:01,548
I greet you, most worthy opponent.

204
00:57:02,757 --> 00:57:04,174
Please, have a seat.

205
00:58:46,016 --> 00:58:49,683
It is a great honour
to serve Al Ghouti.

206
01:00:21,782 --> 01:00:26,606
Our friendship will always remain
even if I become a Reverent Mother.

207
01:00:27,154 --> 01:00:29,154
I have to find a purpose for my life.

208
01:00:34,324 --> 01:00:37,856
The monastic life is the only life I know.

209
01:01:39,248 --> 01:01:42,032
Welcome back.

210
01:02:38,461 --> 01:02:40,535
Cecilia...

211
01:02:57,671 --> 01:03:00,159
It is you.

212
01:03:01,338 --> 01:03:02,879
It is you.

213
01:03:04,338 --> 01:03:06,459
It is you...

214
01:03:39,042 --> 01:03:42,963
Mother?

215
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:19,724
I should never have brought you
that time.

216
01:04:21,847 --> 01:04:23,931
If you weren't known as a friend
to the one who killed the King,

217
01:04:23,950 --> 01:04:28,118
you and Cecilia would not
have been judged so hard.

218
01:04:28,128 --> 01:04:31,253
I followed you by my own choice.

219
01:04:31,779 --> 01:04:33,863
I did it to be able to marry Cecilia

220
01:04:36,340 --> 01:04:38,422
Arn, you are my friend

221
01:04:38,489 --> 01:04:40,573
and I promised you my support.
When it comes to Cecilia

222
01:04:41,648 --> 01:04:44,252
nothing would make me happier
than to see you two married,

223
01:04:44,673 --> 01:04:46,757
but I must listen to Brosa.

224
01:04:48,320 --> 01:04:50,403
Love...

225
01:04:51,251 --> 01:04:53,334
Love is for drones and weaklings.

226
01:04:54,882 --> 01:04:59,050
You have your priviliges and rights,
but with the rights come obligations!

227
01:04:59,258 --> 01:05:01,342
And you have obligations to your clan.

228
01:05:03,425 --> 01:05:05,509
I have sworn an oath.

229
01:05:05,509 --> 01:05:07,592
Oath.

230
01:05:07,592 --> 01:05:09,675
You were just a child.

231
01:05:11,759 --> 01:05:13,843
You are going against your King...

232
01:05:13,843 --> 01:05:15,926
... against your clan...

233
01:05:16,447 --> 01:05:18,530
for a promise you made while you
were still wetting your pants.

234
01:05:18,634 --> 01:05:22,802
You are a Folkung.
First and foremost a Folkung.

235
01:05:23,219 --> 01:05:25,302
Eskil, talk to him.

236
01:05:39,470 --> 01:05:41,554
I know what your love for Cecilia
means to you, Arn.

237
01:05:41,658 --> 01:05:43,742
Believe me, I know.

238
01:05:44,053 --> 01:05:47,179
But there is something to what Brosa is saying.
There is a lot to what Brosa says.

239
01:05:48,221 --> 01:05:51,346
It would be best if you married
one of Sverker's daughters.

240
01:05:54,472 --> 01:05:56,554
Brosa is right.

241
01:05:56,554 --> 01:06:00,722
If we do not watch our step, and tie the right connections,
we may well be on the threshold of war

242
01:06:06,973 --> 01:06:09,056
I have sworn an oath in front of God

243
01:06:09,576 --> 01:06:11,660
that I would marry Cecilia.

244
01:06:12,077 --> 01:06:18,431
A holy oath, Brosa.
You can not change that.

245
01:07:18,986 --> 01:07:23,110
Arn Magnusson,
Cecilia Algotsdotter.

246
01:07:23,654 --> 01:07:31,227
It is a great joy and a relief
that I finally can give you my blessing.

247
01:07:33,654 --> 01:07:35,858
Cheers.

248
01:07:42,738 --> 01:07:45,405
Magnus.
- Father.

249
01:07:46,422 --> 01:07:53,729
Look around. Everyone is having a good time
as if there is no tomorrow.

250
01:07:53,906 --> 01:07:58,859
Brosa would have enjoyed this.
- Magnus tried to persuade him.

251
01:07:59,031 --> 01:08:03,524
I didn't think he could resist
so much ale and pork.

252
01:08:06,991 --> 01:08:09,195
It is a great...

253
01:08:10,157 --> 01:08:14,980
It is a great honour to
be able to be here today.

254
01:08:16,283 --> 01:08:20,028
With such beautiful women and
such good men.

255
01:08:20,200 --> 01:08:23,483
Not in the least that man there.

256
01:08:24,367 --> 01:08:27,484
The greatest warrior in the North.

257
01:08:28,367 --> 01:08:32,278
If you ever need an
archer, my dear friend

258
01:08:34,368 --> 01:08:39,488
then you know that
Harald O'ysteinsson will always be there.

259
01:08:41,077 --> 01:08:44,359
So on behalf of Norway

260
01:08:48,119 --> 01:08:50,525
beloved Arn, beloved Cecilia.

261
01:08:51,494 --> 01:08:55,156
Good luck and cheers.

262
01:10:15,086 --> 01:10:18,534
Are you cold?
- No.... No...

263
01:10:27,211 --> 01:10:30,624
- No, this is too hot.
- Yes.

264
01:11:07,632 --> 01:11:10,630
Have we changed that much?

265
01:11:12,841 --> 01:11:15,211
Our souls are the same.

266
01:11:15,799 --> 01:11:18,962
You are the Cecilia that I remember.

267
01:11:43,009 --> 01:11:47,610
Our new home, Cecilia.
Here we will build and work for peace.

268
01:11:49,010 --> 01:11:52,708
I would never have imagined
that it would be this big.

269
01:12:04,678 --> 01:12:08,340
Everyone here is a free man
with much new knowledge.

270
01:12:10,554 --> 01:12:14,169
You could not have chosen better.
This is a good place.

271
01:12:15,846 --> 01:12:19,258
- This is Sune Folkesson.
- Welcome to Forsvik, Cecilia.

272
01:12:19,922 --> 01:12:21,794
Now I will show you where we will live.

273
01:12:36,846 --> 01:12:38,636
What do you think?

274
01:12:39,388 --> 01:12:41,760
Birch trees...

275
01:12:43,432 --> 01:12:47,380
Very nice.
- Yes, and look here.

276
01:12:48,558 --> 01:12:52,174
A gift from our Saracen friends.

277
01:13:02,356 --> 01:13:05,355
We are the first in West Gothia with
our own stream in our house

278
01:13:05,523 --> 01:13:08,771
and a birchwood in our bedroom.

279
01:14:59,966 --> 01:15:04,506
6 years later.

280
01:15:10,011 --> 01:15:11,717
Father.

281
01:15:15,514 --> 01:15:18,464
Father. Father.

282
01:15:26,976 --> 01:15:30,059
Are you going out shooting with Sune?

283
01:15:30,227 --> 01:15:34,222
Then father will continue training the men.
Get going then.

284
01:15:35,020 --> 01:15:36,728
Sigge.

285
01:15:44,358 --> 01:15:47,356
Your turn.
Aim for the middle.

286
01:15:52,403 --> 01:15:55,271
Not too bad.
Now it is my turn.

287
01:16:02,449 --> 01:16:05,898
You will have to find that arrow.
Get going.

288
01:16:10,409 --> 01:16:14,025
Don't come back without it
trouble maker.

289
01:16:53,886 --> 01:16:55,923
Alde.

290
01:17:11,225 --> 01:17:13,715
Sten, have you seen Alde?

291
01:17:13,893 --> 01:17:17,391
Yes, a moment ago.
- Alde.

292
01:17:42,321 --> 01:17:44,692
Women and children inside.
Get inside.

293
01:18:01,996 --> 01:18:03,654
Get Arn.

294
01:18:08,082 --> 01:18:11,080
Is this your beautiful mother?

295
01:18:11,249 --> 01:18:13,454
Let her go!

296
01:18:24,130 --> 01:18:30,330
The famous Templar.
- If you have something to say
then say it now without dismounting.

297
01:18:30,966 --> 01:18:35,127
We where just passing
and met your daughter in the woods.

298
01:18:35,301 --> 01:18:38,050
I was almost hit by an arrow.

299
01:18:39,594 --> 01:18:43,008
It is hard to separate friend from foe.

300
01:18:44,346 --> 01:18:49,087
You should keep better watch of your family, Arn.
The forest isn't safe any more.

301
01:18:50,640 --> 01:18:55,346
Especially not now as your King
Knut is on his deathbed.

302
01:19:09,564 --> 01:19:14,603
Why has no one told me this?
- I didn't want it to get out.  I did not want any unrest.

303
01:19:14,899 --> 01:19:20,768
Unrest.
- Yes, unrest.
- Knut is my oldest friend.

304
01:19:23,945 --> 01:19:28,520
While you argue, Sverker Karlsson
may have taken Visingsö.

305
01:19:28,697 --> 01:19:33,854
You have been fighting for six years.

306
01:19:34,032 --> 01:19:37,280
It is about time you two make peace.

307
01:19:48,454 --> 01:19:50,577
How long does he have?

308
01:19:51,914 --> 01:19:55,612
I don't know. He shits blood
and that is never a good sign.

309
01:20:01,168 --> 01:20:04,202
Sverker Karlsson has appointed
Ebbe Sunesson as Marshall.

310
01:20:04,378 --> 01:20:09,369
And he has got the backing of the Danish King.
And all of the Danish Army.

311
01:20:14,424 --> 01:20:16,913
We are not ready to meet
the Danes on the battlefield.

312
01:20:19,133 --> 01:20:22,880
We must buy some time.
- There is only one solution.

313
01:20:23,218 --> 01:20:24,712
What?

314
01:20:25,427 --> 01:20:27,798
There is only one solution.

315
01:20:29,596 --> 01:20:31,172
We must relinquish the Crown.

316
01:20:34,598 --> 01:20:36,635
Arn.

317
01:20:42,392 --> 01:20:45,178
Erik, take me to your father.

318
01:20:46,603 --> 01:20:48,559
We have no choice.

319
01:20:51,813 --> 01:20:55,180
We offer Sverker Karlsson the throne

320
01:20:55,356 --> 01:21:00,228
as long as Erik will be his successor.
- Yes.

321
01:21:01,067 --> 01:21:02,809
If we can get Knut to agree.

322
01:21:11,904 --> 01:21:13,398
Arn.

323
01:21:18,949 --> 01:21:21,237
I came when I heard.

324
01:21:29,661 --> 01:21:32,696
Why is God punishing me like this?

325
01:21:33,871 --> 01:21:38,411
Letting me die in my own faeces. Like Satan's hounds.
- Father don't blaspheme.

326
01:21:40,041 --> 01:21:44,700
Don't worry my son.
The Bishop is on his way here.

327
01:21:45,584 --> 01:21:49,366
He will get me over to the other side.

328
01:22:00,840 --> 01:22:02,914
I know why you are here, Arn.

329
01:22:04,968 --> 01:22:08,547
You want Sverker Karlsson
to take the Crown.

330
01:22:09,178 --> 01:22:10,836
Am I right?

331
01:22:13,387 --> 01:22:15,842
It is the only solution.

332
01:22:17,222 --> 01:22:22,295
That or war.
- What will happen to Erik?

333
01:22:23,516 --> 01:22:28,139
Our condition is that Sverker Karlsson's
heirs will be without inheritance

334
01:22:28,310 --> 01:22:30,348
and Erik becomes successor.

335
01:22:31,937 --> 01:22:36,311
You must stand by him, Arn, no matter what.

336
01:22:37,480 --> 01:22:41,641
If Sverker Karlsson touches
even a hair on Erik's head...

337
01:22:41,816 --> 01:22:45,016
Promise to stand behind him
with your sword?

338
01:22:45,649 --> 01:22:47,771
You have my word.

339
01:22:48,652 --> 01:22:50,228
That is good.

340
01:22:54,237 --> 01:22:55,646
That is good.

341
01:23:08,668 --> 01:23:11,626
Hurry. Get on the dock.

342
01:24:13,392 --> 01:24:15,680
The King's sword.

343
01:24:43,990 --> 01:24:46,526
May I introduce my brother's friends.

344
01:24:47,281 --> 01:24:51,324
Eskil Magnusson, Lord of Arnäs.

345
01:24:51,532 --> 01:24:56,950
Arn Magnusson, Lord of Forsvik.
- Arn Magnusson.

346
01:24:58,661 --> 01:25:01,494
Your reputation preceeds you.

347
01:25:02,579 --> 01:25:06,111
And yours follow you, Sverker Karlsson.

348
01:25:06,289 --> 01:25:11,826
I have heard that you are a man
that chooses his own path.

349
01:25:13,250 --> 01:25:16,748
I walk the same path as my clan,
my King.

350
01:25:20,253 --> 01:25:24,247
I value my friendship with the Folkung clan greatly

351
01:25:26,714 --> 01:25:32,381
and so does my Earl.
Isn't that true, Erik?

352
01:25:53,724 --> 01:25:55,930
I must return to Forsvik.

353
01:25:58,269 --> 01:26:04,054
I would like you and your sons to come back with me.
- Tell Cecilia not to worry about me.

354
01:26:04,728 --> 01:26:09,885
I promised Knut that I would watch over Erik.
- Erik is Earl heir to the throne.

355
01:26:10,523 --> 01:26:13,012
His place is here at Visingsö.

356
01:26:15,067 --> 01:26:18,018
I will not give Sverker Karlsson the
pleasure of our running away.

357
01:26:24,945 --> 01:26:27,269
Blanka is too brave for her own good.

358
01:26:31,115 --> 01:26:33,236
Sverker Karlsson
can not be trusted.

359
01:26:33,406 --> 01:26:36,360
He would not hesitate to harm Erik.

360
01:26:38,576 --> 01:26:41,575
No, that is what I am afraid of.

361
01:26:42,493 --> 01:26:45,327
We can not just leave them at Visingsö.

362
01:26:46,536 --> 01:26:52,073
We must send someone to watch over them.
Someone we trust.

363
01:27:06,504 --> 01:27:08,245
<i>You leave Forsvik tonight.</i>

364
01:27:09,463 --> 01:27:14,087
<i>It is not a small thing I am asking of you,
but we must protect the heir to the throne.</i>

365
01:27:17,383 --> 01:27:20,584
At Forsvik they hated me
for my Danish blood.

366
01:27:20,107 --> 01:27:23,316
I never had the chance
to prove my worth.

367
01:27:23,441 --> 01:27:28,816
-And what is your worth?
-I am a good soldier.

368
01:27:29,150 --> 01:27:34,275
A good soldier? You couldn't even
watch a little brat in the forest.

369
01:27:36,150 --> 01:27:39,651
Maybe I didn't want to watch her...

370
01:27:45,151 --> 01:27:49,569
A traitor... I should hang you.

371
01:27:51,770 --> 01:27:56,430
But it would probably please the King
to have a Folkung in his force.

372
01:28:03,567 --> 01:28:04,895
Welcome.

373
01:28:19,656 --> 01:28:22,146
Look at him.

374
01:28:22,326 --> 01:28:25,858
Get up,
so we can look at an Earl.

375
01:28:28,660 --> 01:28:31,614
Look at him.

376
01:28:32,161 --> 01:28:34,119
Look at him!

377
01:28:37,206 --> 01:28:40,158
Look at Erik our Earl.

378
01:28:41,875 --> 01:28:46,414
He looks like a drunk... arrow.

379
01:28:53,546 --> 01:28:54,790
Sverker.

380
01:29:00,047 --> 01:29:01,838
Is that how a King speaks to his Earl?

381
01:29:02,008 --> 01:29:05,375
Cecilia Blanka must have forgotten
that she is no longer Queen.

382
01:29:06,758 --> 01:29:12,425
Sverker Karlsson has shown great
generousity by letting you stay here.

383
01:29:13,470 --> 01:29:17,051
And what does he get in return?
Ingratitude.

384
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,045
You are very beautiful.

385
01:29:23,724 --> 01:29:26,640
But as my Marshall says

386
01:29:27,100 --> 01:29:29,887
I have no reason
to be thankful to you.

387
01:29:30,102 --> 01:29:33,516
I have no reason to show you hospitality.

388
01:29:33,895 --> 01:29:35,223
You can leave.

389
01:29:51,861 --> 01:29:54,432
- Come.
- Alone.

390
01:29:57,988 --> 01:30:01,853
Your sons are old enough
to be without their mother.

391
01:30:27,041 --> 01:30:31,865
One, two, three. Good.

392
01:30:32,418 --> 01:30:37,077
five! six! one! two...

393
01:30:42,589 --> 01:30:45,209
I have seen so much evil.

394
01:30:45,965 --> 01:30:48,123
So much death.

395
01:30:55,469 --> 01:30:59,795
I prayed to God that I would never have to
experience war again.

396
01:31:01,096 --> 01:31:06,881
But if Sverker draws his sword then the war is here.
- I am also here.

397
01:31:09,933 --> 01:31:12,090
I am with you every moment.

398
01:31:16,519 --> 01:31:20,561
God has a special task for you.
- To go to war?

399
01:31:22,521 --> 01:31:24,514
To make peace.

400
01:31:37,568 --> 01:31:40,652
My Marshall believes that you serve two masters.

401
01:31:43,488 --> 01:31:46,059
And what does the King think?

402
01:31:49,824 --> 01:31:52,313
I have not made up my mind yet.

403
01:31:53,826 --> 01:32:00,440
You have served me well in my army,
but I trust my Marshall.

404
01:32:01,745 --> 01:32:04,069
I have only one master.

405
01:32:04,246 --> 01:32:06,284
King Sverker.

406
01:32:10,790 --> 01:32:14,371
Good. Then I will let you prove it.

407
01:32:14,960 --> 01:32:19,823
Tonight you will tell Knut's sons
that you belong to the Folkung clan...

408
01:32:19,823 --> 01:32:22,587
and that you will help them to escape.

409
01:32:24,045 --> 01:32:27,578
Tonight you will take them out of the castle.

410
01:32:27,756 --> 01:32:31,288
Down by the water two men
are waiting with a boat.

411
01:32:34,341 --> 01:32:37,542
Take them far out to sea...

412
01:32:39,218 --> 01:32:41,092
and drown them.

413
01:32:49,055 --> 01:32:56,974
The two men that are with you have orders
to kill you if you do not cooperate.

414
01:32:57,642 --> 01:33:04,009
After this, I will decide what
I think of you, Sune Folkesson.

415
01:33:31,615 --> 01:33:33,819
Here ends the journey my little lords.

416
01:33:34,116 --> 01:33:36,521
Sit down.

417
01:33:54,164 --> 01:33:56,286
- Don't touch him.
-Shut up.

418
01:34:14,632 --> 01:34:16,539
- Damned traitor.

419
01:34:18,340 --> 01:34:20,712
I am only doing my duty.

420
01:34:30,887 --> 01:34:32,796
He is wounded.

421
01:34:33,430 --> 01:34:34,889
Let me see.

422
01:34:38,015 --> 01:34:39,178
He will be allright.

423
01:36:01,757 --> 01:36:04,080
Where is Little Knut?

424
01:37:28,021 --> 01:37:31,518
Sverker Karlsson
has lost his right to the Crown.

425
01:37:32,731 --> 01:37:34,556
Now he fears our vengeance.

426
01:37:34,773 --> 01:37:36,563
The Danes will be here soon.

427
01:37:36,732 --> 01:37:41,606
It will take more than willpower
and courage for us to defeat them.

428
01:37:48,612 --> 01:37:51,647
But I promise you
we will be prepared.

429
01:38:48,887 --> 01:38:51,754
God be with you, Magnus.

430
01:39:23,024 --> 01:39:25,727
I know you will be back.

431
01:40:41,806 --> 01:40:44,721
I am too old for this.

432
01:40:45,848 --> 01:40:48,884
You have my men.

433
01:41:46,748 --> 01:41:50,613
Every slave and stable boy
who can draw a bow is here.

434
01:41:50,833 --> 01:41:53,832
We will never win.
The Danes outnumber us five to one.

435
01:41:54,001 --> 01:41:57,699
We will strike them with an
unexpected force.

436
01:41:59,337 --> 01:42:02,453
Sverker Karlsson is a dead King.
I will kill him myself.

437
01:42:02,630 --> 01:42:07,704
It is not a small thing to kill a King.
No matter how unworthy. Revenge calls for revenge.

438
01:42:08,465 --> 01:42:11,085
Do you want to lose another brother?

439
01:42:25,180 --> 01:42:27,751
He is just as stubborn as his father.

440
01:42:29,432 --> 01:42:31,885
Just like you were.

441
01:42:32,558 --> 01:42:36,424
I want peace, Eskil.

442
01:42:39,560 --> 01:42:42,346
That is what my prayers are about.

443
01:42:46,896 --> 01:42:49,765
I am proud of you, little brother.

444
01:45:14,164 --> 01:45:16,071
Everything is ready.

445
01:45:19,833 --> 01:45:24,243
I don't know.
Our men are afraid.

446
01:45:41,091 --> 01:45:42,669
Listen.

447
01:45:47,218 --> 01:45:49,009
Do not doubt.

448
01:45:51,471 --> 01:45:53,343
Have faith.

449
01:45:54,680 --> 01:45:57,299
Faith in our victory.

450
01:45:58,598 --> 01:46:03,422
We chose this place,
not the Danes, not Sverker.

451
01:46:04,350 --> 01:46:09,424
We chose this time,
not the Danes, not Sverker.

452
01:46:13,604 --> 01:46:15,262
Faith.

453
01:46:16,730 --> 01:46:20,227
God is with those
who stand firm in their faith.

454
01:46:21,899 --> 01:46:26,522
This is why we will win...Peace.

455
01:46:38,197 --> 01:46:41,730
Send the heavy cavalry.
- Riders.

456
01:46:42,948 --> 01:46:44,656
Forward.

457
01:46:49,233 --> 01:46:52,691
First formation.
Forward.

458
01:47:49,697 --> 01:47:52,863
How will you win this?

459
01:48:01,947 --> 01:48:06,198
Don't you think the Danes will see through this ruse?
- We shall see.

460
01:48:34,075 --> 01:48:37,412
Are they trying to scare us?

461
01:48:41,038 --> 01:48:43,241
Wait for my signal, Harald.

462
01:48:54,452 --> 01:48:56,286
Ready.

463
01:48:59,253 --> 01:49:00,747
Attack.

464
01:49:06,005 --> 01:49:07,499
Ready.

465
01:49:14,259 --> 01:49:15,457
Wait...

466
01:49:41,477 --> 01:49:42,936
Now.

467
01:49:47,688 --> 01:49:49,099
A trap...

468
01:50:01,403 --> 01:50:02,647
Now.

469
01:50:14,407 --> 01:50:16,198
Get ready again.

470
01:50:15,877 --> 01:50:17,918
Attack.

471
01:50:39,502 --> 01:50:41,374
Now.

472
01:50:59,401 --> 01:51:03,568
Attack.

473
01:51:05,297 --> 01:51:07,089
Norge.

474
01:53:51,903 --> 01:53:54,024
- Kill him.
- Do it.

475
01:53:57,737 --> 01:54:02,110
He killed my brother
- Yes, and your father killed his father.

476
01:54:02,445 --> 01:54:05,444
You are the King now, Erik.

477
01:54:06,988 --> 01:54:08,528
King.

478
01:54:37,449 --> 01:54:40,233
Ride away from here.

479
01:57:08,879 --> 01:57:11,581
I will never leave you again.

480
01:57:21,088 --> 01:57:23,162
Are you hurt?

481
01:57:30,214 --> 01:57:32,537
Arn... Arn.

482
01:58:18,385 --> 01:58:22,544
Our Lady did not forsake us.

483
01:58:26,260 --> 01:58:28,796
I love you.

484
01:58:29,636 --> 01:58:32,125
I love you...

485
02:01:10,108 --> 02:01:14,648
Arn Magnusson's wish for peace
was fullfilled many years later

486
02:01:14,818 --> 02:01:17,566
by his grandson Birger Jarl.

487
02:01:17,734 --> 02:01:23,602
He united the Kingdom
and named it Sweden.

488
02:01:29,027 --> 02:01:37,976
ARN - The Kingdom at Road's End.
