1
00:00:53,250 --> 00:00:55,791
Now hear of Sigrid,

2
00:00:57,208 --> 00:00:59,291
and when I first saw her.

3
00:01:01,458 --> 00:01:03,958
Foreign swords had come for our land.

4
00:01:04,666 --> 00:01:05,875
For Völsung land.

5
00:01:07,875 --> 00:01:08,875
We were few.

6
00:01:14,416 --> 00:01:15,250
<i>They...</i>

7
00:01:18,625 --> 00:01:19,500
<i>...were many.</i>

8
00:01:34,958 --> 00:01:35,958
<i>Then...</i>

9
00:01:39,375 --> 00:01:40,416
<i>came the woman.</i>

10
00:01:43,500 --> 00:01:44,833
<i>I did not know her.</i>

11
00:01:48,708 --> 00:01:51,583
<i>But her shield
bore Völsung markings.</i>

12
00:01:54,208 --> 00:01:56,833
<i>She hewed men and horses both.</i>

13
00:01:59,458 --> 00:02:01,666
<i>Her sword arm bloody to the shoulder.</i>

14
00:02:04,541 --> 00:02:07,583
<i>Neither helmet nor mail-coat
withstood her that day.</i>

15
00:02:09,666 --> 00:02:13,208
<i>Still, as I said... they were many.</i>

16
00:02:19,166 --> 00:02:22,458
<i>Death was close,
of that much I was sure.</i>

17
00:02:43,708 --> 00:02:47,250
<i>But lo, a Valkyrie descended.</i>

18
00:02:48,666 --> 00:02:50,250
<i>Beautiful it was,</i>

19
00:02:51,458 --> 00:02:52,750
<i>but monstrous.</i>

20
00:02:55,375 --> 00:02:57,083
<i>And silence fell.</i>

21
00:02:57,916 --> 00:03:01,458
<i>For the fighters knew
the creature would decide</i>

22
00:03:01,541 --> 00:03:04,416
<i>who would live and die on that field.</i>

23
00:03:06,041 --> 00:03:07,291
<i>Others were taken.</i>

24
00:03:07,791 --> 00:03:09,250
<i>We were spared.</i>

25
00:03:11,041 --> 00:03:13,000
<i>By whose design, we do not know.</i>

26
00:03:18,416 --> 00:03:22,250
<i>But as it left us... the Valkyrie bowed.</i>

27
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,750
<i>To my Sigrid.</i>

28
00:03:36,375 --> 00:03:37,375
Hmm.

29
00:03:40,208 --> 00:03:41,208
Hmm.

30
00:03:53,833 --> 00:03:55,000
And I knew love.

31
00:04:27,166 --> 00:04:29,083
Why are your men staring at me?

32
00:04:29,666 --> 00:04:32,541
Well, the king told us
of your fateful meeting.

33
00:04:32,625 --> 00:04:36,291
And what story
did the king tell this time?

34
00:04:36,375 --> 00:04:38,291
I believe a Valkyrie was...

35
00:04:38,375 --> 00:04:39,958
All right, everyone, stop!

36
00:04:40,625 --> 00:04:43,375
If it's a story you want, let it be mine.

37
00:04:44,375 --> 00:04:45,500
There was a battle.

38
00:04:46,333 --> 00:04:49,625
There were invaders.
And no swords left un-swung.

39
00:04:51,333 --> 00:04:55,375
I saw your king across the field,
and watched him well.

40
00:04:56,541 --> 00:04:58,208
That night, it was cold.

41
00:04:58,958 --> 00:05:01,625
We shared an ale horn,
and we entered one bed.

42
00:05:01,708 --> 00:05:04,625
My King is hung like a horse,

43
00:05:04,708 --> 00:05:06,625
and I rode him as such.

44
00:05:06,708 --> 00:05:08,208
And I knew love.

45
00:05:09,583 --> 00:05:10,791
You're a poet, Egill.

46
00:05:10,875 --> 00:05:14,833
If you want something to sing about,
try his beautiful lust-limb.

47
00:05:19,208 --> 00:05:21,208
Away! The lot of you!

48
00:05:22,500 --> 00:05:25,875
Egill, scale the fish
and make ready a meal.

49
00:05:25,958 --> 00:05:27,375
Yes, my master.

50
00:05:28,583 --> 00:05:29,833
Sigrid, come with me.

51
00:05:31,041 --> 00:05:32,458
I need to show you something.

52
00:05:37,916 --> 00:05:39,041
Where are we going?

53
00:05:53,375 --> 00:05:55,208
It was hard to keep from you.

54
00:05:55,750 --> 00:06:00,666
But when we are wed,
I want to feel something has changed.

55
00:06:01,500 --> 00:06:03,166
I will not wait any longer.

56
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:08,041
When this house is finished,
it will see our wedding feast.

57
00:06:09,875 --> 00:06:12,083
You do still want to marry me. Yes?

58
00:06:20,208 --> 00:06:21,250
- Yes.
- Mm.

59
00:06:26,500 --> 00:06:28,750
I like when you come from the sea.

60
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:34,250
You taste of salt.

61
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,416
Here? We will freeze to death.

62
00:07:34,416 --> 00:07:35,500
You are quiet.

63
00:07:36,875 --> 00:07:38,500
Something troubles you.

64
00:07:40,750 --> 00:07:42,416
Do you see those stars?

65
00:07:43,541 --> 00:07:44,791
There.

66
00:07:44,875 --> 00:07:46,750
Those are Thiazi's Eyes.

67
00:07:47,625 --> 00:07:49,875
They watch over the land of my people.

68
00:07:50,666 --> 00:07:52,166
You've never seen my sky.

69
00:07:53,875 --> 00:07:54,875
It's all right.

70
00:07:55,375 --> 00:07:56,916
No one travels to my home.

71
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,916
But... there was always a part of me
that thought that we would.

72
00:08:04,583 --> 00:08:06,291
{\an8}That the nations would see peace

73
00:08:07,083 --> 00:08:08,958
{\an8}so I could be married among my kin.

74
00:08:09,833 --> 00:08:11,833
{\an8}It is beautiful there, Leif.

75
00:08:13,041 --> 00:08:17,041
{\an8}And... I wish you could meet my family.

76
00:08:20,708 --> 00:08:21,708
Then I will.

77
00:08:22,916 --> 00:08:24,250
We'll ride in the morning.

78
00:08:30,125 --> 00:08:32,166
I hear talk of you leaving.

79
00:08:32,250 --> 00:08:34,458
Have you no pleasant words
for your friend?

80
00:08:35,083 --> 00:08:36,208
I am to be married.

81
00:08:36,708 --> 00:08:39,750
In truth, I thought he'd take another,
and you as a concubine.

82
00:08:39,833 --> 00:08:40,833
Oh?

83
00:08:41,583 --> 00:08:43,250
You haven't borne children.

84
00:08:44,708 --> 00:08:48,500
I suppose he decided he wanted me
more than he wanted heirs.

85
00:08:48,583 --> 00:08:50,708
I meant no venom. You're lucky.

86
00:08:51,708 --> 00:08:53,666
Children take us from the battlefield.

87
00:08:54,458 --> 00:08:56,333
But the clan will see it otherwise.

88
00:08:57,333 --> 00:09:00,291
They whisper that your wedding
will anger the gods.

89
00:09:00,375 --> 00:09:01,375
Anger the...

90
00:09:02,458 --> 00:09:04,333
Spare a thought for me, Hervor.

91
00:09:04,416 --> 00:09:06,750
When next you see me,
I will be your queen.

92
00:09:13,416 --> 00:09:16,000
You wanted your line to continue.

93
00:09:17,083 --> 00:09:18,250
I know this.

94
00:09:19,791 --> 00:09:21,958
She may yet give you a grandson.

95
00:09:23,708 --> 00:09:24,708
Or she may not.

96
00:09:28,125 --> 00:09:30,583
But we will be wed, Father.

97
00:09:31,416 --> 00:09:32,916
And I want your blessing.

98
00:09:48,041 --> 00:09:50,833
If you refuse it, keep your sword.

99
00:09:59,041 --> 00:10:00,041
No.

100
00:11:33,041 --> 00:11:34,041
Mm.

101
00:12:08,458 --> 00:12:11,458
You'll want to put
that sword away, traveler.

102
00:12:11,541 --> 00:12:12,708
Have you not heard?

103
00:12:13,416 --> 00:12:15,416
We eat your kind.

104
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,416
Threaten him again,
and you'll have no teeth to eat with.

105
00:12:33,583 --> 00:12:37,333
Arise, Sómr! Our sister has returned!

106
00:12:39,041 --> 00:12:40,041
Sigrid?

107
00:12:43,333 --> 00:12:45,083
And now we are in Jötunheim.

108
00:13:11,916 --> 00:13:13,083
My daughter.

109
00:13:16,041 --> 00:13:17,208
You have come back.

110
00:13:18,833 --> 00:13:21,750
But... you have not come alone.

111
00:13:25,291 --> 00:13:27,083
We are giant-folk.

112
00:13:28,458 --> 00:13:29,916
Children of Suttung.

113
00:13:30,500 --> 00:13:32,750
We do not feast with men.

114
00:13:33,250 --> 00:13:35,083
He was with Sigrid, Father.

115
00:13:35,166 --> 00:13:37,875
Sigrid has giant's blood.

116
00:13:37,958 --> 00:13:41,208
Fjölverkr, it has been so long.

117
00:13:41,291 --> 00:13:43,916
Will you remind me
of the name of my father's domain?

118
00:13:45,166 --> 00:13:48,333
It's called the... the...

119
00:13:48,416 --> 00:13:49,625
"The Open Hand."

120
00:13:49,708 --> 00:13:51,708
Thank you, Little Root.

121
00:13:53,291 --> 00:13:54,750
And is it true to its name?

122
00:13:55,500 --> 00:13:58,000
Or does my family offer a fist instead?

123
00:13:58,083 --> 00:14:00,958
Our laws are clear, daughter.

124
00:14:01,041 --> 00:14:03,041
We allow no strangers here.

125
00:14:03,708 --> 00:14:05,625
Let us not be strangers, then!

126
00:14:06,541 --> 00:14:08,333
We can speak as kings do.

127
00:14:08,916 --> 00:14:14,541
When two kings are met at the same hall,
violence often follows.

128
00:14:14,625 --> 00:14:17,416
I grew weary of fighting long ago.

129
00:14:17,500 --> 00:14:20,041
My father does not trust men of peace.

130
00:14:20,125 --> 00:14:22,916
At least a war-like man
will stab you in the front.

131
00:14:25,291 --> 00:14:27,125
I'm sure there are exceptions.

132
00:14:28,291 --> 00:14:32,208
I have no blade with me
but my father's sword.

133
00:14:32,291 --> 00:14:35,291
A gift I intend as a marriage token.

134
00:14:36,916 --> 00:14:39,250
And the bride-price for my daughter?

135
00:14:39,333 --> 00:14:40,416
What pay ye?

136
00:14:44,125 --> 00:14:45,625
The Völsung hoard.

137
00:14:51,458 --> 00:14:54,666
Every coin taken
from a different wicked man.

138
00:14:55,250 --> 00:14:57,833
Your clan won't miss such treasure?

139
00:14:58,833 --> 00:14:59,833
We cannot eat it.

140
00:15:01,083 --> 00:15:02,333
And neither can you.

141
00:15:06,375 --> 00:15:08,875
So I bring a gift of silver...

142
00:15:12,083 --> 00:15:13,875
and a gift of seeds.

143
00:15:16,125 --> 00:15:18,708
Hard times for us all, husband.

144
00:15:20,958 --> 00:15:22,708
It's the gods' doing.

145
00:15:23,208 --> 00:15:27,166
Before Odin pillaged our lands,
we giants had honor.

146
00:15:27,791 --> 00:15:29,750
Heroes full worthy.

147
00:15:29,833 --> 00:15:31,291
We prospered.

148
00:15:31,375 --> 00:15:35,708
Fuck the gods,
for plenty have they fucked us.

149
00:15:43,291 --> 00:15:44,958
Shall we have a wedding?

150
00:15:50,708 --> 00:15:55,833
Tomorrow, Leif of the Völsung,
you'll be giant-folk.

151
00:15:55,916 --> 00:15:58,250
So... ...drink like it!

152
00:16:03,500 --> 00:16:04,666
Drink!

153
00:16:12,541 --> 00:16:16,708
In the Open Hand, we fear no gods.

154
00:16:16,791 --> 00:16:19,125
We fear no gods!

155
00:16:19,208 --> 00:16:21,250
We fear no gods!

156
00:16:21,958 --> 00:16:23,833
We fear no gods!

157
00:16:23,916 --> 00:16:28,041
There is gray in his beard,
and you are no maiden.

158
00:16:28,125 --> 00:16:30,708
Is he the sort who changes with the tides?

159
00:16:30,791 --> 00:16:32,833
No.

160
00:16:32,916 --> 00:16:35,833
Never will you meet a man
to match my Leif for resolve.

161
00:16:36,500 --> 00:16:38,500
Why then did he wait so long?

162
00:16:39,208 --> 00:16:43,000
Other clans gave us favor,
thinking Leif a match for their daughters.

163
00:16:43,750 --> 00:16:45,458
It helped keep the peace.

164
00:16:45,541 --> 00:16:46,750
And now?

165
00:16:47,375 --> 00:16:48,958
He did that as a king.

166
00:16:49,625 --> 00:16:51,125
He does this as a man.

167
00:16:51,833 --> 00:16:54,500
Do your thoughts laugh with him?

168
00:16:55,208 --> 00:16:56,125
Yes.

169
00:16:56,208 --> 00:16:57,916
Then I like him!

170
00:16:58,625 --> 00:17:00,000
Even if he is small.

171
00:17:01,166 --> 00:17:03,833
Is he small everywhere?

172
00:17:03,916 --> 00:17:04,916
Ugh.

173
00:17:04,958 --> 00:17:07,541
A simple enough question!

174
00:17:12,208 --> 00:17:16,041
{\an8}Hafli's watchtower was abandoned
as we crossed into Jötunheim.

175
00:17:16,125 --> 00:17:17,833
Why do you stand so at ease?

176
00:17:18,833 --> 00:17:20,958
We are in a slow war now.

177
00:17:21,458 --> 00:17:23,500
The gods do not come here.

178
00:17:23,583 --> 00:17:26,333
Leastways, not as they once did.

179
00:17:26,416 --> 00:17:28,625
And we called some warriors back for...

180
00:17:32,708 --> 00:17:33,916
Have no fear.

181
00:17:34,541 --> 00:17:37,166
It's quite safe here
for you and your king.

182
00:17:40,208 --> 00:17:41,416
You do not approve.

183
00:17:41,500 --> 00:17:43,958
No, it is not that. I...

184
00:17:45,500 --> 00:17:48,791
Your mother, she was a good woman.

185
00:17:49,541 --> 00:17:51,500
Short, but good.

186
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:56,000
When she died, I thought you would return.

187
00:17:57,166 --> 00:17:58,166
You did not.

188
00:17:59,125 --> 00:18:01,666
You chose Man over Giant.

189
00:18:01,750 --> 00:18:06,083
Father, my feet don't touch the ground
when I sit at your table.

190
00:18:07,583 --> 00:18:11,458
You know I would have sawed the legs
from every chair in the Open Hand

191
00:18:11,541 --> 00:18:12,541
to keep you.

192
00:18:16,458 --> 00:18:21,166
You did not always feel at home here,
but... you were always a giant.

193
00:18:23,416 --> 00:18:25,041
And you always will be.

194
00:18:38,291 --> 00:18:40,750
Give praise
to the day at evening.

195
00:18:40,833 --> 00:18:43,208
To a woman on her pyre.

196
00:18:44,458 --> 00:18:46,333
To a weapon which is tried.

197
00:18:54,625 --> 00:18:56,875
To a maid at wedlock.

198
00:19:09,750 --> 00:19:14,041
You are as gleaming gold
next to dull iron.

199
00:19:15,333 --> 00:19:17,541
Nothing dull about iron, Amma.

200
00:19:17,625 --> 00:19:18,625
But thank you.

201
00:19:22,708 --> 00:19:28,666
Give praise to ice when it's crossed
and to mead that is drunk!

202
00:19:32,791 --> 00:19:36,458
Your next drink
will be from the loving cup.

203
00:19:37,208 --> 00:19:40,916
But for now, you have gifts to bestow.

204
00:19:43,208 --> 00:19:45,416
I know you don't care for ornaments,

205
00:19:45,916 --> 00:19:49,166
but you will wear it always,
or suffer my wrath.

206
00:19:51,333 --> 00:19:54,750
With this, our lines are joined.

207
00:20:22,791 --> 00:20:24,958
I am Glaumar,

208
00:20:25,041 --> 00:20:27,416
King of the Open Hand.

209
00:20:27,500 --> 00:20:29,458
I speak for my people.

210
00:20:29,958 --> 00:20:32,250
Perhaps we can speak elsewhere.

211
00:20:34,375 --> 00:20:37,625
Bring out the bride. I bid you, show me.

212
00:20:38,208 --> 00:20:40,375
Which woman's day do I darken?

213
00:20:40,458 --> 00:20:44,291
You have not given your name
or your purpose.

214
00:20:45,291 --> 00:20:47,541
{\an8}And you were not invited.

215
00:20:50,375 --> 00:20:53,000
A storm needs no summons.

216
00:20:53,083 --> 00:20:57,291
Nor will it be sated
with only a wedding feast.

217
00:20:59,875 --> 00:21:01,541
You're wet, woman.

218
00:21:02,916 --> 00:21:04,958
And you are trespassing.

219
00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:11,250
My brother's feet fall heavy as always,
and he has borne me hence.

220
00:21:11,875 --> 00:21:14,666
We hunt a coward who flew our keep.

221
00:21:14,750 --> 00:21:17,041
It's the cocksucker Loki we seek.

222
00:21:17,125 --> 00:21:20,541
There are no gods here but you.

223
00:21:20,625 --> 00:21:22,125
Though I wonder,

224
00:21:22,208 --> 00:21:26,041
whatever did Loki do to wound you so?

225
00:21:27,500 --> 00:21:29,833
You'd harm your kindly hosts?

226
00:21:30,750 --> 00:21:33,000
My blessed brother, Baldr.

227
00:21:33,083 --> 00:21:37,958
He counsels peace and courtly words
when I would go to war.

228
00:21:38,666 --> 00:21:40,375
Do not do this.

229
00:21:40,458 --> 00:21:43,833
I leave with Loki, or I live in shame.

230
00:21:43,916 --> 00:21:47,583
Bring the bastard to me! Now!

231
00:21:47,666 --> 00:21:53,375
Your Loki is not here.
And you will leave. Now.

232
00:21:53,875 --> 00:21:56,583
The wrath that I announce myself.

233
00:21:56,666 --> 00:21:58,833
Oh, well, you know my name!

234
00:21:59,875 --> 00:22:03,958
I am thunder-born. Thor Odinson.

235
00:22:04,041 --> 00:22:06,333
And joy I take...

236
00:22:06,416 --> 00:22:08,541
...in giants' blood!

237
00:22:18,666 --> 00:22:20,083
Amma!

238
00:22:23,791 --> 00:22:25,458
The children... Go!

239
00:22:25,541 --> 00:22:27,041
Take them to the cellar!

240
00:23:04,875 --> 00:23:05,875
Sigrid, hurry!

241
00:24:03,458 --> 00:24:04,458
No. No.

242
00:24:10,208 --> 00:24:12,333
Protect our sisters, Little Root.

243
00:24:12,416 --> 00:24:14,375
We fear no gods.

244
00:25:01,375 --> 00:25:03,208
Have you any survivors?

245
00:25:03,833 --> 00:25:05,583
They're dead, Thor.

246
00:25:06,750 --> 00:25:07,791
Thy labor's done.

247
00:26:05,166 --> 00:26:07,833
{\an8}We said we would follow
each other anywhere.

248
00:26:07,916 --> 00:26:09,250
{\an8}Did you mean it?

249
00:26:09,333 --> 00:26:11,666
{\an8}- Sigrid, what are you saying?
- Did you mean it?

250
00:26:12,916 --> 00:26:14,625
{\an8}I hope so.

251
00:26:17,291 --> 00:26:21,041
Because before my breath leaves me,
I will kill him.

252
00:26:22,791 --> 00:26:25,625
I swear it. I will kill Thor.

253
00:26:34,708 --> 00:26:36,291
Sigrid!

254
00:26:43,583 --> 00:26:45,125
Sigrid!

255
00:27:06,416 --> 00:27:08,333
Who are you?

256
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:19,708
My name is Loki, Laufeyson.

257
00:27:19,791 --> 00:27:22,583
You've reached now Hel's red door.

258
00:27:23,250 --> 00:27:26,375
It's well you acquire a taste for blood.

259
00:27:27,208 --> 00:27:28,250
Drink deep.

260
00:27:29,416 --> 00:27:30,416
I offer...

261
00:27:31,708 --> 00:27:33,083
Thor's.
