Chaos Monsters

Common name for a group of beasts in Norse mythology,

that teamed up with the giants and fought against the gods.

The most known are the Midgard serpent, the Fenrir wolf and the Hellhound.

Note:

I'm not sure what happened last night.

They gave me something.

What was in that mead?

I lost control.

What did I see in that mirror?

Vidar, no.

Yes.

War council.

Shouldn't there be a war first?

We agree that there hasn't been one like him for a thousand years.

You don't even know what he is.

No, but we know that he can do things that humans can't.

Thus, he's from the Old World.

- You think he's one of them? - That's impossible.

They all died back then.

It was a battlefield, it was total chaos.

Since the big battle, there hasn't been anyone else like us.

No, but now they're back.

And that calls for action.

All eyes are on us.

We must know who and what he is before we do anything at all.

The axe waits for you to choose a side, Fjor.

Just like the last time.

What if he's one of us?

Then he's the closest ally we've ever had.

I suggest we find that out...

before we go to war.

He's just a boy, Vidar.

EPISODE 4 GINNUNGAGAP

So tell me. How was it? How do they live?

Nice.

Expensive.

Well, they're Norway's sixth wealthiest family,

or fifth I think they said on morning TV once.

We're talking about yesterday's dinner.

Were there many guests?

Only us.

Well, so?

Just needed some air.

What did they wear? Was it very formal or more casual?

Actually, she's not very relaxed.

But did you have a good time?

Yes.

She's gonna find out anyway.

I got a little drunk yesterday, Mom.

I got a little drunk.

You drank?

Yeah, they served wine, liquor and champagne and...

Mead.

- Mead? Excuse me? - Listen, Mom.

They are much more international.

Just because they live in rural Norway doesn't mean they can't...

And Magne might have had a tad too much.

Mead.

Norse mythology.

EDDA SECONDARY SCHOOL

Turid?

Do we have a meeting?

Yes. I think we should have a meeting right now.

I just wanted to know...

Did you get Magne drunk last night?

No, he managed that without our help.

But you did serve alcohol with dinner, right?

A glass of good wine with the meal, yes, we served that.

And champagne and tequila?

- No, that's... - And mead!

You know it's strictly illegal, right? To serve alcohol to minors.

Or you could look at it as a good thing

to introduce that to youngsters under safe conditions.

Or we can say that you take care of Magne's education

while I take care of raising him.

That has worked out great so far.

It has?

I seem to recall that some weeks ago you sat in that chair

and told me how badly it had all gone so far.

Let one thing be clear.

Magne is my boy and I know him well.

He's kind, he has a good heart.

And you shouldn't underestimate him.

You did something to me when we arrived.

It's always been inside you.

I just opened your eyes.

What's going on?

I saw myself in the mirror yesterday.

I didn't look like myself.

I looked like...

Thor?

Thor?

- But I'm not Thor! - Magne.

Humans have always been afraid of the dark,

of the violent forces of nature, of injustice.

What you saw is an opportunity to do something.

And what happens is something you decide through your own actions.

The giants are still here.

They are destroying the world while the humans just watch.

No one has taken up the fight against them... yet.

Gry.

What's going on?

I sent you a lot of texts. Did they not go through or...

Sure they did, but I thought you could maybe move on to the next in line.

Hey.

You just sat there!

When they made a fool of me at the diner.

Well, everybody, it's soon time for our traditional mountain trip.

Three days in the wild with full gear.

We're going to this mountain, which is called...

Ginnungagap.

Can somebody tell me what that name means?

Aicha.

According to old Viking texts,

Ginnungagap is the place where cold and hot meet,

- and where the world was created. - Yes!

Very good, Aicha.

Then who populated this earth?

A mix of gods and giants.

That's correct, Laurits. Ten points if you'd raised your hand.

Gods and giants, yes.

We have read the story of Thor, who was tested at the giants' house,

and they made him drink mead.

But who were the giants?

Hilde.

Weren't they like trolls? Like the bad guys of the story.

No, that is a completely one-sided perception.

The giants were for a long time seen as gods.

People worshipped them and sacrificed anything for them.

People even sacrificed living animals.

Until they were pushed away by those who called themselves "gods".

Yeah, excellent, Saxa.

But was there anything...

or rather, someone, whom the giants feared?

Those were the hottest hits this afternoon.

- Hi. - Hi!

I'd like three double cheese burgers,

one with an extra patty, extra cheese

and a good amount of bacon.

And half a grilled chicken.

And three large fries and three cokes.

Yes. So the usual?

Thanks.

Hi.

Hi. How are you doing?

Well...

I manage. I guess.

I heard you're going on a trip.

Yes, up to the...

How is that going to be for you?

Well, it's going to be...

Isolde and I went up there a lot when she was little,

so there are lots of memories.

We had our own secret places, so it...

So it'll probably be pretty awful.

- Should we go to my place and work? - Yeah.

Magne!

I have tested the blood sample you gave me.

And you were completely right. There were two types of blood.

The blood in front was Isolde's.

And on the hood?

An animal.

Can you help me read the rest?

Good morning.

Okay, listen up, everybody.

Starting today, we'll have a new student in our class.

- This pretty young lady here, who... - Iman.

Yes. We have an open slot, because...

Maybe you know Aicha.

Why would I know Aicha?

Anyway, we have a vacant seat there,

so please seat yourself there.

- New... New girl. - Iman.

Yes. Iman.

Today we'll go through the main arguments of your papers.

We'll go by groups.

- Gry and Magne, you're up first. - All right.

Even though Norway has strong democratic traditions and institutions,

it's still the big enterprises and capital interests

that form the basis of our society more than we might see.

For instance, one town might depend solely on one enterprise

due to all the jobs created...

This again? Blame the rich?

You know about the environmental issues here in Edda, right?

And still nothing happens. Nobody does anything.

Even though there are hazardous discharges,

we see the mayor shake hands with your father

on Edda's welcome brochure.

May I please?

What you're saying is right, in a way.

But we only care about progress. Progress has always been dangerous.

We used to be cold, so then we made fire. Right?

Sure, sometimes our houses burned down, sometimes even whole villages.

But we don't go back to the time without fire because of that.

Same thing with cars.

Hundreds die in traffic every year. Every year!

So we make safer and safer cars. We don't go back to horse and carriage.

Do you even know that people get sick?

Broken, unemployed people walk the streets because of you, and you don't care!

I'm well aware.

They contributed to progress. Someone needs to lead the change.

My father lies sick in bed because of you!

You couldn't care less. And we don't get a single penny.

So this is actually about your father?

I think we should move on to another group now.

Aicha, could you please...

- Yes. - Great.

Hi, Magne.

Are you hungry?

I thought you and Gry were best friends.

Wouldn't you also stand up for your family?

What's up? Ready for the trip?

Psyched to shit in a hole and swim in a frozen lake.

It's not that cold now.

Anyway, our father's business contacts get us the best mountain gear.

Come by one day, we'll give you some, so you'll survive up there as well.

- Everything's brand new? - Yes.

Just drop by after school and we'll set you up.

For sure, we'll be there.

Would you do me a favor and buy me a sparkling water?

Yeah, sure.

But then you're buying one for me too, rich girl.

Do you understand what I say?

Do you speak the Old Tongue?

We'll try again tonight.

Aren't you a teddy bear? Yes.

Isn't he adorable?

- He loves sweets. - Do you love sweets?

How old is he?

I don't remember. We've had him for a very long time.

This is the newest and best.

Damn.

- And you'll just give it to us? - Yeah.

Where's Magne?

He said he didn't need any.

He had more important things to do.

This is nice.

I don't...

I don't know what you want me to say, Magne.

You said you had some new evidence, but...

This is Isolde's blood.

And this...

It's not human blood. It's animal blood.

It smells totally different.

There was no blood on her jacket when we went up the mountain.

Isolde could have taken the jacket off and put it on the ground.

- Don't you think it's odd? - No.

But shouldn't we do something about this?

Ask the police about the blood?

Just forget about the jacket.

Please, Magne.

Well, how did it go?

He didn't come.

- Did I not tell you? - He asks a lot of questions.

He's still investigating Isolde's death.

I should have killed him a long time ago.

Not taken any chances.

We live in a small town full of nosy humans.

- And two of them are already dead. - We wouldn't do it here.

You are going on a mountain trip, and I will come.

I'll talk to him, and if it proves necessary,

then we do it there.

Many accidents can occur on a mountain trip.

You do nothing until we vote.

You talk like a goddamn politician.

I've always adapted to the times.

You should try it.

Says she who bathes in milk.

Listen to us. We're beating a dead horse.

Everyone has to be so goddamn equal nowadays.

I guess soon I'll have to ask my own wife for permission...

when I want to take her.

Yeah, that would suit you well.

When I get some more money, I'll get you some new clothes.

It's fine. I found all I need in the attic.

Where did you steal all that?

It was a gift from the Jutuls.

- They have too much stuff. - Can you accept that?

Should we be both proud and poor?

You should have gone there, too, I see.

No, I'm not accepting anything from those people.

- See you over there. - See you.

Nice to see that backpack again.

It belonged to Dad.

I also found his old sleeping bag and his knife.

Take care of yourself, okay?

Remember what we agreed on.

- No accidents. - I know.

- Bye. - Have fun.

You walk super fast, you know?

I do?

Yeah.

I'm not really in bad shape, but...

It's just the others that are slow.

Is that them down there?

Yes, I can see Hilde, Dagny, Saxa, and Ida.

You can see that? I only see dots.

I see better since I ditched the glasses.

Okay. Then what...

What's that flying up there?

It's a rough-legged buzzard.

- And it's got something in its eye. - Yeah.

A dead reindeer.

Where?

Down there.

- Should we take a look? - No, I'm not going back down.

- Come on. - No, I'm just going to go find the camp.

Are you sure?

Yeah. I'm sure I can find it from here.

If I get lost, I know you'll find me.

- Mister, mister, come on, come on. - Pick someone else.

You have to pick Jenny.

- Pick Jenny. - Yes, yes,

pick Iman, so the two of us could...

Wanna play spin-the-bottle?

- Aren't you too old for that? - Nah, come on.

We're dying to know who's on your mind.

I think you know.

Thought I'd go and walk by myself.

Bye!

- Okay, now it's Ola's turn. - Okay.

Yeah, but that's not how it works.

Magne.

I pick you.

We're gonna ask you a question.

You have to answer honestly.

Yes.

And I would like to know...

the truth about your feelings for Gry.

She's the most beautiful person I've ever met.

Are you in love or what?

You can't just say that in front of everyone.

Why not?

Because you make yourself vulnerable...

and they're gonna use it against you.

- But it's true. - Magne...

I'm sorry if I've made you think that...

You are a guy who maybe interprets things...

at face value. No, forget that.

It's my fault and I apologize.

I do care about you and I like you a lot, but...

not in that way.

And I think I'm falling in love with Fjor.

Just so you know.

Hi, Magne.

What are you doing here?

You're not going back, are you?

Might be.

Have you seen Erik?

I think he needed to be alone.

He hasn't been here since it happened.

But, hey, could you help me with the food?

Put down your backpack and we'll have a little chat.

Come on, now!

Delightful scent of wild game, right?

Want to try?

Cut it into small pieces.

What are you doing here?

Just wanted to see you.

Have you come all this way just to see me?

Yes.

Maybe I just want to be alone.

So, could you please go?

You know I like you a lot, right?

I really do.

You can get anyone. Why do you chose me?

Because you are you.

You are brave and damn stubborn.

Wanna do something fun?

Come.

Come.

What are we doing?

Paragliding.

From the top of Ginnungagap.

It's a tandem chute, so I'll steer.

I'll keep you safe.

Trust me.

The thighs are the most...

tender meat.

But if I'm being honest...

I prefer the heart.

I found a dead reindeer on my way here.

Someone had ripped out the heart.

You've done this before.

You're good with a knife.

Can you remember the Old Land?

The battle.

The last great battle.

The horns that called for war.

Do you understand the Old Tongue?

Yes...

I do.

You won't get away with what you've done.

Laurits?

- Have you seen Gry? - She's with Fjor.

Fjor? What is he doing here?

He picked her up, they went that way.

They were gonna paraglide.

I'm pretty sure she's made her choice.

Okay.

What are you up to?

Magne's backpack.

I was right. He's a threat.

He found the reindeer and God knows what else.

It's him. The sledgehammer in the car.

He's been after us since the start.

Trym!

Find him.

Become what you once were and do what you were meant to do.

Kill him.

Your water test.

So, it was here.

You hid it at our spot.

God damn, you're curious. Anything else you wanna know?

Why do you have a log on the kitchen table with lots of knives stuck in it?

That wasn't my idea. You know what the problem is?

Not that it's creepy.

All the edges are dirty no matter how much you clean it.

- You're right. - Yeah, super annoying.

- I never thought about that. - I hate it myself.

That's a real bad idea.

It was my dad's idea, he wanted to be creative.

- But it still looks cool, though. - Yeah?

Thanks, I'll let him know.

I shouldn't have had that last glass.

What time is it?

Hey...

I know you don't like me as much as I like you.

I'm gonna wait for you, no matter how long it takes.

Should I drive you back?

Trym!

Trym!

You can't ever come in here.

Understand?

It's really, really important that you get that.

Oh, my God.

What happened?
