A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Seeress - A recurring figure in numerous Norse myths.

Possessed magic and clairvoyance.

One believed the seeress could affect the forces that controlled the world.

Now we give you back. We send you home to Utgård.

To the dark woods and deep waters.

To our fallen brothers and sisters.

They shall watch over you.

What, have you killed their dog?

I had no choice. It wasn't a dog anymore.

Nothing here either. What happened?

It was a monster, Mom!

Fight days. Half shields.

Wind days. Wolf days.

What have you taken?

- What are you talking about? - Did you smoke something or take pills?

- Did the Jutuls give you something? - No. What do you think?

I think that you think that what you experienced was real.

- It attacked me, Mom. It tried to kill me. - You have no bruises!

I don't know. I had bruises before, but they healed quickly.

Mild eyes rest upon us, let the strong be victorious.

Magne, please just tell me what happened.

Magne, just tell me the truth.

- Just tell me what happened. - I don't know what happened, Mom.

I don't understand anything either.

The sun darkens. The earth sinks into the sea.

EPISODE 5 ATOMIC NUMBER 48

And yellow eyes?

Yes. And the teeth had become longer too.

Yngvild, I think we'll need a urine sample and a blood sample to test

if he was under the influence of drugs.

There's something else I want to say.

I believe Vidar was involved in Isolde's death.

Magne...

do you have something personal against the Jutuls?

No, he does not. He's friends with their children.

So is Laurits, his brother.

And I work for Vidar Jutul, so...

A month ago, Vidar Jutul's car was vandalized

with this sledgehammer, which is yours. Correct?

I wasn't trying to hit his car.

It doesn't matter. The dog attacked me, and I defended myself.

That wasn't just self-defense.

I would call it an execution.

I want you to know that we take this very seriously,

and it's going to have consequences.

I can't rule out the chance that the prosecutors

might suggest juvenile detention.

Are you aware of what you've done?

I wasn't myself.

Note:

No one believes me.

Not even my family.

And I understand why.

Everything that's happening now,

I'm fighting monsters...

and I've become a god.

And giants exist.

Supernatural beings who control the town.

No wonder people think I'm crazy. It all sounds so fucked up!

People who dream about being special should know that...

in reality, it's just a nightmare.

There's nothing cool about being special.

I don't even know what to do with these powers I've been given.

They're just fucking up my life, creating all these problems, and...

I must do the same as Isolde.

Exploit the system.

The Jutul's don't care about humans or the world.

They just destroy everything.

I have to expose them.

Find the ultimate evidence, something that can...

get them on their knees.

Is it time for the women's group's ten-mile run?

Yes. We're training non-stop.

Bjørg and Yngvild are picking me up in a moment.

Are you planning to win?

Not at all. For them, it's all about participating.

What are you up to?

He has to die.

Vidar, don't do...

You've had 3000 years to learn to speak instead of hitting.

You will do nothing until I come back.

Stop him.

- Hi! - Are you ready?

We're ready. Come on, let's go.

- He's out of his mind. - But he's right.

The blood of Trym shall be avenged with the blood of Magne.

This is written in the ancient laws, and they apply to him as well.

- Yes, but... - He is a god.

That changes everything.

Plagues, wars, climate changes, what has that meant to us? Nothing!

But he...

He could kill us. Do you understand that?

The whole town believes that he killed our dog.

Who do you think will be blamed if he's found chopped down with an axe?

- I don't give a fuck. - I think you do, though.

You own one of Norway's largest corporations.

You are respected.

I'm also a giant. Just like you.

We hail from an ancient, immortal clan of warriors.

We were worshipped.

The humans sacrificed to us.

We were the first gods.

And now, you drive a goddamn Volvo.

You love watching American TV shows while you lie on the couch eating candy.

You want to lose everything you have and live on the run?

It's nostalgia.

It's not how we live anymore.

All right, are we gonna kill him or what?

No.

This time, we're not using violence.

We have all the cards.

Teachers, shrinks, juvenile detention, it's ten times worse.

Out!

Everything points to a conviction if you are to be prosecuted.

So, I hope you understand how exceptional it is that we are letting things slide.

Even though what you have done is terrible, Magne,

as headmaster, I could never deny a youth the right to complete his education.

As long as we can make sure you respect all the terms.

Yes, yes.

And the two of us will be seeing each other a lot, Magne.

It's also important that we limit Magne's access to social media.

- That goes for at home too. - Yes.

And I'd like to take your smartphone off your hands.

At least for a while.

And you'll get this one. It can send texts, SMS and...

- Magne, hand it over. - It's time to say goodbye

to YouTube, Facebook, Twitter...

Snapchat, WhatsApp, Shazam, and all that.

- We will be following you closely. - Yes.

And I think it's important that you keep an extra eye on him at home.

- Yes. - Yes.

Gry! I have your earring. When can we meet?

What are you doing?

Do you know how long Vidar is gonna be in his office?

Looking for this?

Are you totally fucking insane?

You fucked her here! Right after he forbade us all contact with humans.

- Give me a break. - No!

I fucking dumped her as my friend. You think that was fun?

You've never had any goddamn feelings for anyone before.

Neither have you.

You're so desperate to fuck her that you shit on everyone else!

And you bring her here of all places!

- She has been in the office. - She hasn't seen a thing!

You can't be there and not see anything.

Do you realize what will happen if I tell Vidar?

You won't do that.

What is going on with you?

I said what is going on with you?

Not a damn thing.

I wanted to fuck her, and that's all I did. Okay?

EDDA SECONDARY SCHOOL

Hi.

Hey.

Are you okay?

Apart from the fact that everyone thinks I'm a psycho, I'm fine.

I don't know what exactly happened, but...

But I think you had a reason to do what you did.

But you still believe your new boyfriend over me.

We're not dating.

We just...

Well...

- I wanted to talk to you about it... - Our paper's due on Friday?

Magne, I really do want to talk about it.

I think we should look over our paper later today.

Okay.

See you later.

- Hi, Magne. - Hi.

Everyone's talking about what happened with the dog,

but everything that's happening now is so blown out of proportion.

I found her phone by the glacier.

I tried to charge it, but it's dead.

And I found this beside it.

A water sample from the glacier?

Yes, I believe so.

Those last weeks, she talked so much about wanting to take a sample up there.

Can I have it?

I found some of Isolde's old emails,

the ones she sent to different environmental organizations.

This one, for example.

She writes that the last water samples from the glacier show extreme emissions.

Her last test contained this chemical called...

- Codium? - Cadmium or something, it says here.

She suspected high values of it. Take a look here.

Erik found one of Isolde's last water samples.

From the glacier.

Maybe it contains this cadmium?

Maybe we should have it analyzed.

We're not writing an environmental report,

but an analysis of how it is to live in Edda.

But I know that she was right.

These people don't give a damn if the world burns.

You and your father know this better than anyone.

I understand if you don't want to criticize this family.

Okay, Saxa. It's your turn.

You can do it! I believe in you!

In 2018, the environmental organization GreenWatch registered

increased levels of cadmium in the fjord.

And yet, Jutul Industries was given

Edda's Green Environment Award the following year.

You're writing about the Jutuls?

You won't be very popular if you sit here with me.

But maybe you'll become popular by sitting here with me?

Stretch like this. Look.

Not like that, Saxa.

She's faking.

Look, down here.

Right foot forward, then throw.

Come on.

That's it for today. Hilde and Saxa, will you pack up?

Yes?

Yes.

This place is fucked up.

Just so you know.

Then maybe we could change that?

What's your name again?

Saxa.

That's right.

Why do you let her do it alone?

Because I can.

Because you think you're better than her?

Look at her.

Because you think you're better than everyone else.

Why do you pretend like you don't know how to throw a javelin?

So as to not frighten the little humans.

You know how it goes when you frighten them, don't you?

I'll take that one, sweetie.

Look how devoted and cute they are.

But it's not fair.

No.

But the world isn't fair.

The wolves eat the sheep.

Not if someone protects them.

You couldn't even protect your little friend.

I know who you are.

Don't count on anyone to help you.

Not your family, or your little on-and-off girlfriend, Gry.

We're not dating.

She's dating Fjor.

You were right. I do know how to throw.

- Flagstad? - Yes?

- Do you know what cadmium is? - Cadmium?

A chemical element. Heavy metal. Atomic number 48.

- Is it hazardous? - It's extremely poisonous.

This is a water sample from the glacier.

I need to know what's in it.

Do you know how?

Yes, I do.

I really want to help you, Magne,

but it stays between the two of us.

The warmest April in 20 years, people!

Ready for swimming season?

And shut up about the fjord being polluted.

When I was a kid, they said you ought

to swallow a kilo of crap a year to become a man.

Gry!

Look who's here!

- Hello. - Hi.

Hi, there.

Hi.

All right, should I make some coffee?

Jan, dear, I think maybe you could come with me.

All right.

Okay.

- This would be yours. - There it is. Thanks.

No problem.

So, what were you thinking?

That we're a couple now?

Yeah.

Or...

Maybe not completely officially.

It's so damn complicated. My father, he...

It's hard to explain, okay?

Well, you could try to tell me about it.

We all have our secrets.

Excuse me, I just need to get something.

And my father...

Is he dying?

No.

He's just sick.

Can't work anymore.

But doesn't he get compensation?

Disability pension or something?

He just got declined for work insurance.

They say that it could just as well be caused by smoking,

that there is no correlation between his sickness...

and those chemicals he came in contact with at Jutul, at work.

That is...

It must be difficult for you.

Yeah.

It seems like everything is difficult.

This is difficult.

- Hi, there. - Hi.

- Two with mayo. - Thank you.

This is almost embarrassing.

It must seem like we eat here all the time.

We don't actually.

Well, I do.

I'm actually quite a good cook.

Well, at least I was,

but when you have kids, it's easier to buy readymade.

You wouldn't want to come over for dinner one day?

No, I'm sorry.

Maybe it's not a good time for you.

- I'd love to have dinner. - You would?

Okay.

Do you like shrimp cocktails?

- Can I try? - Yes, of course.

- Are you ready? - Yeah, yeah.

Oscar! Oscar! Oscar!

What the hell are you doing?

They are leaving.

Now!

- But we just arrived! - Out!

Okay, Saxa. But can we...

Goodbye.

- Do you have to be like this? Can I stay? - Out.

Can we hang with...

- Can't you please just chill? - Why are you lying to me?

"I just wanted to fuck her, that's all I wanted."

You're keen on her. You're dating her.

That's why we couldn't do anything to Magne. Right?

Are you turning into a little human?

Tell me the truth. The truth!

I'm in love with her.

You're gonna break up with her.

Or you know what will happen to both of you.

Magne, what is this?

Our social anthropology paper.

"Do the authorities ignore the pollution from Jutul Industries

because they are the region's biggest employer and taxpayer?"

Yes, they do.

If you keep reading there are lots of examples, too.

Magne! It's proven that the pollution in the fjord is not from Jutul.

Regardless...

I don't care what they are up to.

I don't care about the environment, I only care about you,

about keeping my job and making sure we can stay here.

Are you aware of how lucky you are to stay in school?

That's unrelated.

If you hand this in, I lose my job, and you...

- You'll go to juve... - Mom!

This is not fair.

The Jutuls are poisoning nature with no consequences.

They think they are invincible, and I have to do something.

I'm gonna hand this in no matter what you say.

Then you leave me no choice.

You look a bit pale, that's unusual.

How many times do you think he's heard that one before?

Hey. Can I have a word with you, Magne?

I have math class.

The others have math class. You and me need to talk.

All right, well...

Turid called me yesterday and told me that you, Magne,

are writing a school paper that is more or less

a direct attack against the Jutul family's business.

As far as your paper goes,

I have no objections. We do live in a free country.

You can write what you want.

What's unfortunate is the fact that you are approaching teachers

and asking them for private favors.

And hiding it from me.

Magne asked his biology teacher to first test some blood

and now this water sample, which he claims contains dangerous chemicals.

You are a good lad, Magne,

but you have entangled yourself in this fantasy world.

Fantasizing you're some kind of a mix between an action hero and a detective.

I've spoken to Erik.

He told me that you've gotten Isolde's old computer,

which contains a lot of information about Jutul Industries.

A lot of fake news.

I don't think you're able to differentiate between these things.

So, I think you should hand that PC back to Erik.

You will get another one from the school to use...

Magne?

Give the computer back to Erik.

Magne?

Hey.

The thing is that I...

That you...

are dying to kiss me, but feel like we're not there yet,

and I'm dying to kiss you, too, but I'm insanely busy.

Right?

Can we talk tonight?

Hey, did you finish your part of the conclusion?

We can see if it fits in.

I was in a meeting with the principal.

We have to change our paper.

What?

I can't write anything this critical. They're watching me.

Because of what happened with that dog.

- So, now you're just gonna fall in line? - What do you think I should do?

- You have to hand it in yourself. - Then you'll flunk, Magne.

Wouldn't be the first time.

It's probably best for you and Fjor, too.

Hi, Magne.

Ran made me give her the water test.

But you were completely right.

There was an alarmingly high amount of cadmium in that water.

It doesn't matter anymore.

- We can't prove anything. - Maybe not, but you are right, Magne.

There's something sick about this town.

Do you really have time to stand here and brood?

I didn't choose you to sit around with your hands in your lap.

Why me?

What is it that you think I'm capable of?

Anything.

I'm not capable of anything.

Find someone else.

No, I don't want you to play these games in front of Magne.

That violence isn't good for him.

Give me a break. What the fuck can I play?

You have switched off the Wi-Fi. Candy Crush or Tetris?

Hi, sweetie.

Aren't you gonna ask me where I've been?

So you can call the police or the principal...

and tell them everything about me.

- Or maybe your new best friend, Sindre. - Magne...

You're talking to that guy now?

Isn't he our dinner guest?

It's Erik who's coming over for dinner.

Someone's got a new mascara.

- I won't be joining. - What do you mean?

He stabbed me in the back.

- No one has stabbed you in the back. - Yes, he did.

Just like you.

If Magne's not joining us, why not invite the principal?

NORSE MYTHOLOGY

Magne?

It's Erik.

Can we talk?

Just go.

Magne, remember when I said I found Isolde's phone on the glacier?

I left it to dry, and earlier today, it turned itself on again.

Hi.

Hi.

Well, it's locked, obviously,

and I don't know the password. Do you?

Nope.

- Isn't it a PUK code? Can't you reset it? - I don't know.

I'm not so good with things like that.

Wanna give it a try?

See if you can open it?

Are you sure, Erik?

- After all, I do live in a fantasy world. - Magne...

It's my turn to bring cake to the teachers' meeting.

I don't understand this cake hysteria.

They go fucking crazy for that stuff.

Sugar, sugar, sugar.

Then they get fat and get diabetes and die even quicker.

Hi, Yngvild.

You were fantastic today.

Well, no, but if it keeps going this way then...

- What are you doing? - What are you doing?

We face our greatest threat in 1000 years, and she's baking a cake!

You're eating candy and watching a TV show.

We sort of agreed to let the system handle him.

We didn't agree on shit.

You and Ran did.

And we can't count on Fjor.

He has a human girlfriend.

She's been here, and she's been in your office.

Where is he?

I've handled it, so he's gone to break up with her now.

- Hey. - Hey.

What did you want to tell me?

I...

Nothing. It's nothing.

Well, I have something I want to say to you.

I don't think this is gonna work out.

Us.

Because...

I think you're the best guy in the world,

but it's too much of everything.

It's crazy, but I'm rewriting our whole paper because it's about your factories.

There's so much we can't say because it's supposed to be a secret.

That's not me!

That's them, not me!

Yes, it is, Fjor.

And the more I learn, the more I dislike what your family stands for.

My father is stuck at home, sick, because of you.

I don't think you realize it, but I believe...

that you don't care about doing anything good.

I think you only care about yourselves.

I just want to be with you.

But it can't be.

Please...

May I say something?

I don't know if I can deal with it, if you two become a thing.

Just saying.

Well, I'll let that linger while I take Magne some food.

WARNING! ALL ACCESS PROHIBITED DANGER!

It's already become a bit too hot here in the studio.

And speaking of heat, maybe the ice is melting,

but at least we won't die from thirst.
