A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

Freya - The most important goddess in Norse mythology.

Goddess of love, fertility and devotion,

but also associated with magic, war and wealth.

Famous for her beauty which could enchant everyone.

Go!

- What's going on? - You wouldn't understand.

Understand what? What are you talking about, Fjor?

Answer me, for fuck's sake!

Answer!

- About my family, and Magne! - What about them?

You won't understand.

Go!

Only if you come with me.

Bring the defibrillator.

Do the kid first.

Hey! Hello! Hey!

Hello?

Hello? Hey.

Clear! Shocking him!

Jeppe!

What the fuck happened? Stay still.

You fucking flew five meters. Stay still!

You really thought this was over?

It's only just begun.

We will kill you before the next new moon.

Okay, people. The weather is strange, but we don't care, do we?

It's Constitution Day, and we're happy.

Wotan?

Wotan?

You know we don't drink alcohol out here, right?

The lightning…

it killed my scooter.

It must be the battery. I will get it fixed.

Come, we'll have some cake.

Is that you?

Is that you?

Are you just gonna run away?

You don't give a fuck about me!

Why do you think you've been given the most unique abilities and powers?

You are the chosen one.

Why did you choose me?

Are you really asking me that?

You know…

I wasn't the first one they killed.

And I won't be the last.

Now that the giants know

that you're starting to gain control over the lightning,

they'll come for you with all they've got.

But you're not strong enough yet.

You need your weapon and you need friends…

to fight on your side of the battle.

You were the only friend I had.

I miss you.

I'm with you.

Other gods will come and stand by your side.

You just have to be patient.

It will be as it is written.

You can't come find me.

If they discover who I am, they'll kill me, too.

You have to be patient, Magne.

Hey!

Who are the others?

I can't just sit around waiting for them!

War council. Now.

Didn't Fjor take care of it?

No, he couldn't do it. The Seier kid came, and we fought.

- You didn't kill him? - I couldn't do it.

He can summon lightning.

- Does he have the hammer? - No, he did it with his hands.

He's close to becoming invulnerable.

Only the old weapons can harm him.

So get the axe! Let's take him out before he gets even stronger.

He's a god.

We'll do it as it is written.

I've challenged him to a fight at Ginnungagap during the new moon.

There's four of us, and we have weapons.

Fjor isn't here.

He's just going to kill her, and then he'll come.

No.

Yes, it's a garden. It's…

And then they walk…

- Hello. - Mr. Laurits.

Fucking cool speech.

Are you into politics?

No, not at all.

I just wanted to piss on the largest tree,

and in this town that happens to be the Jutul family.

- Yeah. Good pissing. - Thank you.

Holy shit.

Did any of you talk to the old lady from the grocery store?

What happened to your hair?

Did you?

Did she touch you?

She's a bit old for me… Are you okay?

Did she? Did she touch your hair?

Come on. It's Constitution Day. We're moving on…

Hey. Did you talk to her?

Do you guys wanna go?

I haven't talked to her.

Let's go.

- None of the Jutuls either? - After your brother's speech?

Laurits?

He crushed them completely.

Yeah, he was totally badass.

You took your time.

I didn't kill her.

I won't do it, and you won't either.

I'm just here to pick up a few things.

Wait.

I'll talk to him.

Where are you going?

I'm leaving.

I'm going away.

To that human girl?

I love her.

We have a battle to fight.

We've challenged Magne at the new moon.

We'll gather the weapons and stand together.

I won't fight anymore. I'm trying something new.

- Then I'll take everything from you. - I don't give a shit.

You're still a giant.

No.

Not anymore.

…a hurricane along the coast. Winds will reach 135 miles per hour.

The West will be hardest hit,

but Central Norway can also expect bad weather.

I think you should eat something.

You'll hear from him soon, sweetheart.

Look, Mom's here.

She's a lot better at this than I am, so…

- Hey. - Hey.

I'm done with my family.

It's just the two of us now.

Will you be home soon?

Laurits? Where are you?

I need to talk to you!!!

Where are you!??

Laurits?

Come in.

Where have you been? You haven't replied in ages.

Were you contacted by the cashier from the store?

Did she tell you about a battle?

Are you still talking about her?

Do you remember Ragnarok?

What Erik told us about the gods and the giants? The big battle?

Okay.

Magne, I've had eight G&Ts. Can we do this tomorrow?

Listen to me.

I know it sounds weird, but I think it's about to happen again.

Here in Edda.

Okay…

So gods and giants and things like that…

Yes.

I think I'm Thor…

and the giants have challenged me to a battle.

Are you on drugs or something?

I can do things.

Laurits, remember when I told you about the hammer?

I threw it several hundred meters.

That was when it began.

All this is growing in me.

I keep getting stronger.

No…

Look at this.

I know someone is supposed to stand with me in the battle.

We share the same blood.

I think we're meant to do this together.

I'm a bit different from you.

Okay. Can I sleep on it, before I have to commit to killing giants?

You're the most important person in my life.

Come here.

Not so hard.

Today the Environmental Agency initiated the investigation into Jutul Industries

for pollution of the drinking water in Edda.

The police are assisting the Environmental Agency with access to evidence.

Research consultant Morten Njaakanjohke-Guttorm

is in charge of the technical investigation.

If the Environmental Agency deems it necessary to press charges,

we will of course take this very seriously.

- Hey! - Hello.

The Environmental Agency will now explain.

Can't you wait? We'll eat together later.

It's Dad's birthday. I've bought fresh bread and...

I was hungry.

But, Mom, I think you might have to look around for a new job.

…Jutul Industries.

And we're certain that these barrels contain harmful environmental toxins.

Now all that remains is to conduct further investigations to discover

whether storing these barrels here has affected the local environment.

…certain that…

A fuse must have blown.

I'll fix it.

I'll do it after dinner.

Your hair looks nice.

Thanks.

Are you wearing makeup?

Have you thought about it?

I think it's nice that Laurits is wearing a little makeup,

and that you're experimenting with sexuality and gender and…

It's very common. I did it too when I was 17. For four, five years...

Stop it.

Sorry. Time for custard buns. Happy birthday to Dad.

- They taste fucking awful. - They were Dad's favorite.

And I found a picture of the four of us.

Look, isn't that nice?

I thought we might frame it.

Did Miss Greenpeace know that you thought you were a god?

If you don't want to be a part of this, just say so. Okay?

Happy Birthday, Asbjørn.

The boys are so big now, and you'd be very proud of them.

I don't know that he'd be proud of me, but…

Of course he would. You're so smart and funny.

And fit into your old clothes and look like a pretty woman…

Everyone says your speech was badass.

Right?

Not as badass as Dad was.

He was so big and strong.

Everyone is good at something, right?

Yeah, but we don't look like each other. Can we agree on that?

Just look at Magne. He looks like him.

In a "Tom Hardy goes military" kind of way.

He's good at all the things Dad was good at.

- Dad didn't have dyslexia. - Shut up.

Hey.

Hey!

You look nice!

Yeah, I needed a bit of a change.

Magne, I talked to the teachers at school,

and it looks like we're getting you back.

People realized that they were wrong, that there's nothing wrong with Magne.

- That's fantastic. Thank you. - No, that's…

Thank you very much, Erik.

That's fantastic, right?

Thanks.

Erik?

I was wondering if you could help me out a bit. With Thor.

I was wondering how he defeated the giants.

- And what gods he fought with. - There were a lot of gods.

And Thor used his hammer, Mjölnir.

The world's most powerful weapon.

He was nothing without it.

How did he get it?

Don't worry about keeping up in school. I'll help you.

It won't start, Magne. You guys have to get out and push.

I have a headache.

Come on.

- Come on. - I'm coming.

I need the parts for the cart.

Yeah, the scooter.

I don't fucking know. It's one of those electric cripple scooters. It's blue.

It'd be great if the parts arrived before the old man kicks the bucket.

Great. Bye.

Hey.

Shit. Yes, what do you want?

I can't get it to start.

You'll need a new starter. And a new battery.

Maybe do something with the exhaust hanging off the back there.

It'll be about 20,000 kroner, I think.

Just leave the keys in the car, and I'll wheel it in myself. Great.

Twenty thousand?

That's what the car costs.

It's expensive to be poor.

What is it? Come on, Magne.

It's too soon to say anything about the scope,

but I can confirm that we have in our possession a certain number of barrels

belonging to Jutul Industries.

JUTUL WILL PAY!

And we're certain these barrels contain harmful environmental toxins.

Do you have the environmental issue under control?

Fuck, yeah, but you have no idea how many questions we'll have to answer.

The rules of democracy make me want to puke.

The Mayor won't even pick up when I call.

I'm all alone here.

Who do I have besides Fjor?

You have me!

Painting your nails and shopping online.

You won't let me in.

You have to claim your spot.

And there's an open spot now. Right, Vidar?

Titanium, zinc, iron… That's our main production.

So when the ships dock over there,

they transport all materials and move them into these furnaces.

Do it properly.

If I'm taking over, I need to learn this.

You don't know if Fjor is coming back.

Vidar?

The man from the Environmental Agency and the police are here.

You go on home.

Hello.

Morten Njaakanjohke-Guttorm from the Environmental Agency.

Yes, we know each other.

Yes, hello.

We're assisting the investigation into the polluted drinking water.

We'd like to take a look at some papers.

Ones that are a few years old, actually.

Do you have a warrant?

Then we can't open...

Can I just start off by saying that we're very sorry about this occurrence.

And that we will, of course, cooperate to clarify the matter as best we can.

- Great. - Thank you.

Would you like some coffee?

- Yes, please. - Yes, please.

- Black? - Yes.

- Do you have oat milk? - Yes.

So you like vegan food?

MJÖLNIR

Wenche, I've been thinking that I should apologize to you. Because…

I said that you say so many weird things. That wasn't nice.

I was out of line, and I'm very sorry.

Sorry.

Five hundred and forty-eight kroner.

Yes.

I'll have to put some things back. Sorry.

That's all right.

If you'll tell your big boy that a god wants to meet him today,

at the bridge, with the first words from the Völva's prophecy.

Yes, I'll pass that on. Thank you very much.

He's also the god of thunder and ruled the skies.

Thor was married to Sif, who was almost as beautiful…

Well, well, well.

Look at you, sitting here and drawing a big hammer.

Have you been thinking?

Yes, but what's in it for me?

You'll be on the right side of the battle.

Yes.

Have you considered that the battle might exist only in your head?

Hey, boys.

Hey.

We're starving. What's for dinner?

We're having tacos, but with a twist.

I've been thinking that we should go more green.

So we'll have tacos without meat.

We can't have Taco Friday without meat. That's completely pointless.

It's not pointless, it's…

And about summer vacation,

I've been thinking we'll have to do it greener. So it'll be a "staycation."

Yeah, it's like when you kinda… don't go anywhere.

But stay where you live and do different things. Right?

Other things than normal. Play cards, go for walks, invite people over.

Yeah… That's fun.

It's very popular with celebrities and all that.

Yeah, probably because they live in places that are worth being.

So you've suddenly gone green overnight?

No, not suddenly…

To be honest, we can't afford it.

The garage bill killed me, so now…

we can't afford meat.

It's fine, Mom.

Me and Laurits can probably find some cash somewhere.

Oh, that's right. The crazy cashier said to give you a message.

For what it's worth, I won't pay for meatless Taco Friday.

No.

- What did she say? - That you would meet god.

No, I mean… She talks so much nonsense that…

On the bridge. Or the river?

I don't remember.

And that you have to remember the first part of the prophecy.

What prophecy? Völva's prophecy?

I have to admit it's a bit fuzzy.

Right.

Where are you going?

I'm getting some meat.

Hear me in silence, holy families, sons of Heimdall, high and low…

Valfar, you wished for me to tell the ancient tale as best as I can recall.

All wild creatures…

"Hear me in silence, all wild creatures..."

If this is a fundraiser, I'm not interested.

- Why are we stopping? - I need to check something first.

Hey! What were you going to say?

"Hear me in silence, all wild creatures."

"Valfar, you wished for me to tell the ancient tale as best as I can recall."

So, what happened?

That was weird.

I was by the milk, and the old cashier comes over and pulls me to the side.

And she tells me, in this weird old-time Norwegian, that I'm special.

But I know that. I've always known.

I tell it like it is. Take shit from no one.

What else?

And she starts touching my hair.

And there's my limit, but I can see that it's important to her,

so I just let her.

Okay. Did she give you an assignment?

Yeah. She told me to "find the leader of the battle and help him."

Whatever that means.

It means that the two of us… we'll fight the giants.

They were the ones who killed Isolde, and they've killed others.

Giants?

I'll have a large Edda burger with extra cheese and a…

medium, no, large fries. And a Coke,

and throw in some chicken wings to eat while I wait for the rest.

That'll be 227 kroner.

Hey.

Hey.

Yes…

Two hundred and twenty-seven kroner.

Yes.

The giants destroy everything, and no one has tried to stop them before.

To defeat them, we'll have to use our special abilities.

What can you do?

I mean, I have many skills.

I'm gifted, smart, beautiful, and I'm pretty funny, if I do say so myself.

And I'm pretty good at picking up people.

That's not what I'm talking about.

It's something new that you can do.

What is it?

What can you do?

Yeah, that's okay.

Yeah, bring them.

Bye!

Hey! Magne has someone over, a new girl.

I think he's trying to get over the thing with Gry.

- I've actually met someone, too. - Really?

It's crazy. It happened in like two seconds.

Who is it?

He works at the grill. He's about this tall…

or maybe a bit taller. Jens.

Him. That's nice!

Yeah. He's good-looking.

He'll be here at our party with the others.

Yeah. What party?

I've invited a few people over tonight, for a party.

Just so I can see him, of course.

Then we can get your "staycation" started, too.

You're the strongest friend I've ever had.

Laurits, how many did you invite?

Just the people I know, and…

- It's probably for me. - It might be Erik, too.

Come on in. It's open!

Come in!

Shit.

Hey. Welcome to the inauguration of the "staycation."

Hello!

Hey!

- Hey. - Hey.

Can we talk?

Hey. I just had to say hello.

Turid. I'm Magne's mom.

I've been worried sick about you.

You haven't replied to my texts.

Yeah, I have.

With three words.

"I am okay"?

That's all you're giving me?

Seriously? You were there.

- He wanted to kill you. - No, he didn't.

You don't know who he is.

Yes, I do.

He's a good guy, Magne.

He cut ties with his family. He's really trying.

And I'm in love with him.

Yeah, I know.

Yeah.

I just need to get used to it.

I understand.

Come on.

Give me two seconds.

Hey… it'll pass.

She might not even be your type.

But someone like her…

she's your type.

By the way, I think I've found my special skill. Look.

Hey.

Aren't you supposed to get us a drink right about now?

No, I've already got one.

I think…

you really want to get me a drink.

I want a vodka with Red Bull.

And you'll get it on your knees.

Cheers.

Cheers.

- I love… - It's a party!

Too bad he didn't show.

If it's any consolation, Erik didn't show either.

I'm a fucking freak.

You're not a freak.

You're brave, you're good. You're one of a kind.

I don't want to be one of a kind.

I want to be something to someone else.

Belong to someone.

Let's be honest…

I'm a freak.

You're not a freak.

There might be a reason why you feel different.

Sorry, I'm a little drunk.

What are you saying, Mom?

I think you should sit down.

I have to tell you something I should have told you a long time ago.

Holy crap, are we at war or something?

We're at war.

Come on.

And please be on time next time.

What the fuck are you doing here? I'm working.

- Do something. - Yeah. Wait a second.

What do you want?

Are you busy?

I don't have time. I said I'm working.

I think you have some time for me.

What do you want?

I said I think you have some time for me.

Yes, of course I do.

What do you need?

Can you forge this for me?

Yes, of course I can.

I'll start right away.

I'll have it ready by tomorrow. Is around 10:00 a.m. good?

Come on in.

Hey.

I need a few signatures.

- Great. - Thanks.

I…

Vidar, do you remember that night 17 years ago, when I…

was waitressing at a party in Jutulheim, and we got pretty drunk?

Yes.

I remember.

I got pregnant that night.

- Impossible. - No, it's true.

But I made a choice, and…

wanted it…

to be my husband's, but he's yours.

But I don't expect anything from you.

Really.

Laurits?

He looks like you. He has your eyes.

He and Magne are very different, so…

Why didn't you tell me this before?

It seemed right at the time, but…

Laurits is in a bad place now.

He's always felt very different.

Turid.

Thank you.
